Chapter 88 Visiting Card
Especially Grandma Shi, she had witnessed the fall of the previous dynasty and the establishment of the current one, and was particularly sensitive to this past event.
The old fox's life was coming to an end, but he had lived a life of insight, and his divination skills had only grown more powerful. Good fortune and disaster were about to come, and good things would be foreseen in advance. Bad things would also be foreseen in advance.
Gong Mengbi relies on his knowledge that ordinary people don't have, and Shi Po Po relies on divination to know the future. Both of them are not optimistic about the City God. On a deeper level, they are actually not optimistic about the world.
Beneath this shiny, bright exterior, there's a multitude of rotting flesh and abscesses. If you poke it, it'll probably splatter everywhere.
General Ban Yin was just a seventh-grade monster. He would occasionally go down the mountain to secretly eat a few people and then run away. It was normal that he was not discovered.
But the current situation is obviously not going to satisfy small appetites.
Gong Mengbi had previously noticed the City God's dereliction of duty when he was fighting against Taoist Master Zhen Wubing in Yongkang County.
It wasn't just one or two people who died; on paper, there were over ninety, but in reality, far more than that. Just like the Wang family's human trafficking, the county magistrate was completely unaware of it; just like Zhen Wubing's ghost-raising and magic-practicing, the City God was completely unaware of it.
When Master Wang was imprisoned, the Wang family had fed the county magistrate with their wealth, and by cutting off a large piece of meat, they could save their entire property. As for the City God, Gong Mengbi had never even heard of the punishment.
The City God is a ghost god in the mortal world. Although he is under the jurisdiction of Mount Tai, he is actually a frontier official. He is far less influential than people imagine, and he is not under the jurisdiction of the Goddess of Mount Tai.
Therefore, the Yue Mansion's magic soldiers were willing to give face to the Tianhu Courtyard, but the City God had no such opinion.
The City God is a righteous god worshipped by the living world. He is in charge of the affairs of both the Yin and Yang worlds. However, compared with the underworld, he is obviously closer to the living world and is greatly influenced by the dynasty.
The underworld is not peaceful to begin with, and it is hard to say how much control it can have over the City God in the world of the living, so it is very likely that the City God can be bribed.
But the details still need to be investigated by Gong Mengbi himself. After leaving Granny Shi, Gong Mengbi took the Skull God to Fox Hill.
When Gong Mengbi came last time, he mentioned the problem of rain, so Kang Wen immediately stopped building the houses and asked Linghu Qiu to build the drainage ditch first.
Fortunately, the fox demons all have magical powers, so it is not difficult for them to escape into the earth and walk on the ground. Otherwise, it would take a while to dig a drainage ditch.
The benefit of Kang Wen's strong initiative was immediately apparent. He had just dug the drainage ditch when it started to rain heavily.
Fox Courtyard is located in a flat area. If the drainage ditch had not been dug in time, it would probably be flooded by now.
Gong Mengbi came again today and saw that they were building in full swing. He praised Kang Wen and said, "You've done a good job, but you need to speed up the process. I don't think the rainy season will end soon. If we're not careful, there might be floods. The sooner we finish it, the better it will be. It will be a place to live."
Kang Wen's expression immediately became serious, and he said, "I understand."
She was uneasy and said, "Sir, if there is a flood, we must be prepared. I want to go to Zhaojiazhuang and inform my sister."
Gong Mengbi said, "Don't worry for now. I have to visit the City God tonight. We can discuss everything after I come back."
Kang Wen suppressed his worries and urged the supervisor to speed up the work to prevent flooding.
When the foxes heard that there might be a flood, they immediately became noisy.
Even the white-footed fox wanted to ask Kang Wen for leave: "Sister Wen, I want to go back to Bailu Village. My neighbor who works as an accountant is working in the county, and his family is all at home farming. I have to go and inform them so they can make preparations early."
The lustful fox among the fox prisoners also squeezed out and begged: "Master Kang, I am a guilty fox and dare not ask for return, but please show mercy and help me warn Ah Jiao. She has no support from me, and her father is old. What will happen if a flood happens?"
With him taking the lead, a group of fox demons immediately came to ask for help.
Kang Wen's expression grew serious. He said, "Don't make a fuss! I've already reported this to the Lord, and I'll wait for his approval before we proceed. You'd better start building the fox yard quickly, otherwise they won't even have a place to live and will be forced to stay suffocated in bags."
The foxes had no choice but to obey. Urged by this incident, they immediately moved much faster than before.
Gong Mengbi ordered the five ghosts to go to the City God Temple to submit a visiting card.
The green-robed ghost laughed and said, "I can do this alone, why do I need five brothers?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head: "The five of us should go together, advance and retreat together, to avoid any accidents."
He specifically pointed this out, and the green-clothed ghost immediately woke up and knew that he had to be careful and cautious about this matter and not treat it lightly.
Although they are the Five Ghosts and not just ghosts, if they are alone and cannot show their abilities and dignity, they may not be able to see the City God and may even be captured by someone on some pretext.
The five ghost gods, led by Huang Yi Chang Xia, took Gong Mengbi's visiting card and went to the City God Temple.
The five ghosts and gods are quite spiritual. When the five brothers are together, their energy is connected and their divine connection is even stronger.
When we arrived at the City God Temple in Wuning County, it was drizzling. The raindrops fell between the five ghost gods and turned into a ball of water vapor and dissipated.
As the moisture thickened, a human outline would occasionally appear. When someone saw it, they would immediately avoid it and run away.
When the five ghost gods arrived at the City God Temple, they saw that the incense was burning brightly, the gate was tall, and the walls, outer courtyard, main gate, corridor, ceremonial gate, middle gate, front hall, main hall, back hall and two side houses were magnificent.
The five ghost gods took a look and felt that it was extremely majestic.
The Taoist priest in the City God Temple only saw a strange aura coming in and immediately went to report it.
In a split second, two ghost messengers came out and asked, "What ghost or god has trespassed into the City God Temple?"
The two ghost messengers were quite arrogant, but when they looked at the five ghosts and gods in front of them, they saw that their auras were pure and their appearances were majestic, and they immediately swallowed the threats in their hearts.
The five ghosts exchanged glances, and Huang Changxia said, "We are the ghosts and gods serving under Wu Ning of the Fox Society of Tianhuyuan, Gong Mengbi. We are here to submit our greetings on the orders of our master."
Huang Changxia handed over Gong Mengbi's visiting card, and the two ghost messengers went to one of them and left one to talk to them.
The ghost messenger said, "So you are a disciple of the Heavenly Fox Academy. But forgive my ignorance, I don't know what position the Fox Academy holds."
Huang Changxia said, "Fellow Daoists have their own Daoist associations, and foxes have their own associations. My master is following the will of the Heavenly Fox Court to educate the foxes and prevent them from causing harm."
The ghost messenger suddenly realized, "So it's the fox immortal who manages the foxes. I've often heard that the fox immortals in the Heavenly Fox Court are all immortals with extraordinary magical powers. I wonder what kind of practice the Palace Fox Society is doing now?"
Huang Changxia smiled and said, "My master is now at the eighth level of cultivation, and cannot compare to the City God."
The ghost messenger laughed and said, "Lord City God is a legitimate deity, not an ordinary person."
Huang Changxia didn't respond.
A moment later, another ghost messenger came out and said, "The City God is very happy and will prepare a bed for you as promised."
After the five ghost gods received their orders, they turned around and left.
The two ghost messengers looked at each other and hurried back to the hall.
When the five ghost gods left the City God Temple, Xuan Dong in black sneered, "How rude."
Huang Changxia said: "After all, he is the City God, he holds a high position and great power."
As he spoke, he also sneered, which was quite sarcastic.
