Chapter 93: Using His Name
Gong Mengbi looked up at the sky and saw that the black dragon that reached the sky and the earth had returned.
The qi is stagnant and becomes a knot, which cannot be released no matter whether it travels north or south. It just gathers more and more, and becomes deeper and deeper. Sooner or later, it will burst out and turn into a huge flood.
This black dragon came from the South China Sea and was supposed to go all the way north, but from what Gong Mengbi saw, it had been blocked several times and returned to the southeast.
Gong Mengbi didn't know whether others could see it or not, but his Qi-gazing technique and Tongtian method complemented each other, so he could see it clearly.
The five ghost gods wore wide bamboo hats and straw raincoats, while Gong Mengbi held an umbrella, and the group was shrouded in rain.
The heavy rain fell on the straw hat, straw raincoat and paper umbrella, splashing water droplets everywhere and turning into a misty fog.
Fortunately, it was late at night and the rain was deep, so no one could see this invisible line of people in the rain and mist passing through the streets and out of the city gate.
Only the soldiers guarding the city rubbed their eyes, their hearts skipped a beat, and when they looked again, there was nothing there.
He quickly bowed in the direction where the rain and fog disappeared, looked at the puzzled eyes of his comrades beside him, and smiled awkwardly.
After leaving Wuning County, Gong Mengbi went to Fox Hill.
The foxes hid in a house that had already been built, and they were a little frightened when they saw the heavy rain outside.
Not only is the rain heavy, but the occasional thunder in the clouds can shake one's soul.
Seeing the rich red light up like a flame in the black rain curtain, the fox prisoner was once afraid of him, but in such a celestial phenomenon, he felt a lot more at ease.
Kang Wen came forward, took the paper umbrella from Gong Mengbi's hand, and placed it in the corner of the wall. The water marks meandered like snakes and merged into the rain under the stone steps.
"My lord, is there any news?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "I have already told the City God about this, but he didn't take it seriously. He just said there was no news of a flood and told me not to spread rumors to confuse the people and prevent unrest."
The foxes were in an uproar.
The white-footed fox quickly asked, "Then I wonder if what the City God said is true? Is there really no flood?"
Gong Mengbi looked up at the sky and said, "I disagree with him. He said there's no flood, but the way I see it, it's a wicked situation, like a sinking stove giving birth to frogs."
Although there is a City God, in the eyes of the foxes, Gong Mengbi is also the messenger of the Goddess of Mount Tai.
What's more, one should be suspicious and hesitant, and would rather believe it exists than not believe it.
Suddenly, the room was filled with noise. The lustful fox rushed forward and kowtowed, saying, "Please let me warn A Jiao. I am willing to take the blame myself, and I only ask for mercy from you, my lord."
Although these foxes all have bad records, many of them have connections with humans, or have other friends outside, so they all ask Gong Mengbi for approval and warning.
Kang Wen managed to keep his composure and said, "Don't make a fuss! Please let the master make the decision."
Gong Mengbi said, "Since the City God has said that we should not spread rumors to confuse the people, then it is not convenient for me to gather the foxes and run around to warn them."
The lustful fox said, "If the City God asks about it, my Lord, just say it was the little fox that caused the trouble and let the little fox take the blame. I won't dare to embarrass you."
Gong Mengbi glanced at him and said, "Now I see your affection. Why did you ignore Gillian's feelings and forcibly take her home? You also occupied her house, drove away the owner, and made her beg for a living?"
The lustful fox was so ashamed that he kowtowed deeply without saying a word.
Gong Mengbi sighed, "Even a sinful fox like you can show such loyalty. How can I let you take the blame? Since the City God forbids spreading rumors to confuse the people, then go quietly."
"Tomorrow I will grant you a day off. If you have friends or relatives, please inform them, and I will pretend I don't know. If you don't have friends or relatives, you can also rest for a day."
"However, when you issue a warning, you must also be careful with the method. To avoid being implicated, it's best to pretend to be a deity, ancestral spirit, extraordinary person, or Taoist priest, and make sure to clearly explain the cause and effect. If they want to spread the news, you must also warn them to be cautious and not let the little ghosts hear it and be punished by the City God."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "We can't spread rumors to confuse the public, but if they find out on their own, it will have nothing to do with us foxes."
Looking at the gentle smile of the red-clothed fox fairy, the foxes felt a chill in their hearts.
I just hope that the City God is not lying, otherwise if a flood really comes, I am afraid that the people will be filled with resentment and his City God Temple will be destroyed.
At dawn, the rain gradually subsided.
Gong Mengbi followed the instructions and allowed the Hu people to rest and not work.
On the spot, more than ten foxes asked Kang Wen to leave the mountain and explained their strategy. After Kang Wen reviewed it, he allowed them to leave the mountain.
After the foxes had been locked up for a long time, those foxes who had no relatives or friends to warn also wanted to go down the mountain, so they had to ask the foxes who needed to go down the mountain for help, and let them go down the mountain to get some fresh air on the pretext of helping them to warn.
Among them were four foxes who had once worked together to build a courtyard to seduce men and women and steal their essence. These four followed the lustful fox and said, "Brother, take us with you."
The lecherous fox asked curiously, "You promiscuous bastards, if you don't look down on me for being so devoted to Gillian, why are you trying to help me?"
The four sinful foxes said, "We are only stealing essence, we don't know about love. Although your brother's methods are wrong, we think the leader of the Fox Association seems to admire you very much, so we want to follow you to see how you can make him look up to you."
The lecherous fox smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be considered appreciation when your Excellency pronounces my sentence in public?"
"Didn't I praise you for your affection? Let us see the depth of your affection."
The lustful fox said: "This affection is not that affection. Forget it, if you want to come, then come. You can just help me out and prevent my illusion from failing."
The four evil foxes shouted, "Let's go!" They carried the lustful fox and turned into a cold wind and flew down the mountain.
Gong Mengbi stayed in Fox Hill, but few fox prisoners were willing to stay with him, especially when they had nothing to do, so they all left in a short while.
Kang Wen completed the notes and handed them to Gong Mengbi, saying, "Sir, all is recorded here. However, among these fox prisoners, some have committed serious crimes. I'm worried they might cause trouble after we get down the mountain."
Gong Mengbi said, "Don't worry. If they dare to make trouble, they will suffer."
Kang Wen said, "Then I'll go to Zhaojiazhuang too."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Take the golden tablet with you, just in case."
Kang Wen replied yes. She glanced at Fox Heart Xiao Qi and asked, "Lord Zhao, do you want to go with me?"
Fox Heart Xiao Qi shook his head: "I have something to say to the Fox Fairy, you go ahead."
Kang Wen glanced at Fox Heart Xiao Qi resentfully, then turned and left.
Gong Mengbi glanced at Fox Heart Xiaoqi, then at Kang Wen, and shook his head: "What a sin."
Fox Heart Xiao Qi also sighed: "The beauty is very kind, but I am a person with an incomplete soul. I can only barely make ends meet. How dare I have any improper thoughts?"
How could Gong Mengbi not understand the difficulty of this? It was he who restored Fox Heart Xiaoqi's spiritual nature. It was like a ship without a mast, which could only drift aimlessly, but after it was restored, it could set sail.
But the difficulty lies here. Once Gong Mengbi takes back his spirit, Xiao Qi will still be that idiot who can't take care of himself.
What's even more difficult is that if the original spirit is restored, will this ship still be the original one?
Fox-hearted Xiao Qi couldn't handle this problem, so he simply closed his eyes and ears and acted like a coward.
