Chapter 364: Eliminating the Four Sufferings and Family Happiness
The Skull God and Gong Mengbi have some connection. Although the evil roots are hard to get rid of, on the one hand, he has to pay the consequences in this life and has tasted the bitter fruit. On the other hand, if his evil roots are not removed, even if he has the opportunity to reincarnate, he will still be a sinner.
Now it seems that Gong Mengbi’s repeated teachings on how to save himself were not in vain.
I am not afraid that he has evil roots and evil thoughts in his heart, I am only afraid that his heart is as hard as stone and cannot be cured by medicine.
After hanging the Skull God back on his waist, Gong Mengbi put away the empty Hundred Souls Banner and searched everywhere in the residence of the head of Xima Mountain. He finally found the flag of the Four Sufferings Formation.
The four small flags are blue, yellow, white and black, corresponding to the four formations of birth, old age, sickness and death. If they are presided over by the formation flags, the four formations will be interconnected and complement each other, and they will have some power.
These four flags are also the inhabitants of the evil spirits in the formation. They are usually kept by the head of Xima Mountain for worship and refining, and are not taken out casually.
After taking the four formation flags, Gong Mengbi returned to the Four Suffering Formation.
The array was filled with howling winds and a pervasive evil spirit, creating an incomparably treacherous and evil place. For a mortal, being trapped here would be more terrifying than death.
Even practitioners with some Taoist skills would not dare to let these evil creatures get close to them easily, otherwise their bodies would be damaged and all their years of hard practice would be wasted.
Even though Gong Mengbi got the formation flag, he didn't have to break the formation by force.
When they arrived at the formation, they raised four small flags, which fluttered in the air, and then disappeared into the dense forest of mulberry, willow, locust and poplar trees.
Gong Mengbi followed the path down the mountain and entered the life formation first.
The small green flag was swept by the cold wind, and the willows seemed to come alive, with branches dancing like crazy arms, tearing everything around them.
In the gloomy wind, the sound of tinkling kept ringing, which was the sound of small bells and rattles.
One by one, infant spirits with dark blue faces appeared in the gloomy wind, and pairs of resentful eyes looked at Gong Mengbi, as if they had endless evil thoughts, but also as if they had nothing.
Infant spirits are the most difficult to subdue and transform. Even sending them to the Yue Mansion is a hassle.
As for the so-called heart of stone, there is no one more heartless than the infant spirit.
Having never been educated, they have no sense of good and evil, and are filled with only chaotic resentment and evil thoughts that are difficult to vent and resolve.
Gong Mengbi did not have such great magical powers and merits to dispel their resentment. The fox was not afraid of people's intelligence or stupidity, but was only afraid of being unable to communicate.
Gong Mengbi doesn't even have time to teach the little fox himself now, so how can he teach so many infant spirits with undeveloped minds?
Something in his heart moved, and he looked at the Skull God and smiled: "Come out, I have recognized some grandchildren for you."
The Skull God fell from Gong Mengbi's waist and turned into a hunched old man. When he saw the infant spirits gathered under the green flag, the Skull God's face was full of sorrow.
How could he not understand what Gong Mengbi meant? He just wanted him, a man with a deep-rooted evil nature, to take care of the child, and he had no experience.
The Skull God grumbled bitterly, "Sir, I've never raised a child in my life. The only disciple I raised was from a teenager, but he ended up being a bad child. How can I be competent for this? Please find another way."
Gong Mengbi shook his head firmly and said, "No, I'll leave them to you."
The Skull God roughly counted and found that there were forty-nine infant spirits. If these infant spirits rushed over, his old bones would be torn apart.
Gong Mengbi saw his reluctance, but said meaningfully, "You need to save yourself. This is your opportunity."
The Skull God couldn't understand.
Gong Mengbi said slowly, "Do you know if there is anyone in the world who doesn't know the difference between beauty and ugliness and can treat everyone equally?"
The Skull God's heart trembled.
Gong Mengbi didn't even look at him. He said, "You've been looked down upon and despised since childhood, and evil thoughts are ingrained in your heart. But they won't look down on you, won't despise you. You like to use your cleverness to play people around to satisfy your evil thoughts. Coincidentally, although they don't have minds, they have the most acute perception."
"You can deceive yourself into thinking you're a good person, but it depends on whether you can deceive them and convert them one by one."
Gong Mengbi looked at the Skull God with a smile and said, "Go ahead. From now on, they will be yours to teach."
The Skull God was not really moved by Gong Mengbi's words. Even though he felt that what Gong Mengbi said made some sense, he also understood that Gong Mengbi was putting more pressure on him.
But he didn't dare to disobey Gong Mengbi, so he could only take the small green flag reluctantly, holding it in his hand, his face full of pain and regret.
The flag fell into his hand, and the infant spirits came over one by one, and strange laughter sounded in the wind.
"Owner……"
"Owner……"
The Skull God's lips trembled as he sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and then opened them again, saying gently, "Don't call me Master, call me Grandpa."
"grandfather?"
The laughter of the infant spirits echoed deep in the shade of the willows, and it was unclear whether they were wondering or confirming.
The Skull God said, "Yes, call me Grandpa."
Then, from deep in the shade of the willows, there was a continuous sound calling "Grandpa" and "Grandpa".
The Skull God had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with tears.
Oh my God, which old man in this world can take care of forty-nine grandchildren?
Seeing that the Heavenly Fox Immortal was watching from the side, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the bitter resentment in his heart, and find ways to convert these evildoers.
Gong Mengbi wiped away his nonexistent tears and said, "Congratulations! You are enjoying the joy of family today."
The Skull God forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your enlightenment, sir."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Let's go."
The Skull God raised the green flag, and all the evil spirits fell into the green flag and landed in the hands of the Skull God.
The infant spirits in the birth array are difficult to convert, which is determined by the characteristics of the infant spirits.
The old ghosts in the old formation were much easier to deal with. The most convenient method was naturally to directly extradite them to the underworld and hand them over to the Yue Mansion for disposal.
But Gong Mengbi still had some use for them, so he took them away with a yellow flag.
Enter the sick array again.
The graves are filled with sick corpses, carrying the seeds of plague that are difficult to expel.
Fortunately, this epidemic was caused by Taoism and controlled by the yellow flag.
Gong Mengbi waved the yellow flag, and all the sick corpses started to break out of the ground. When the yellow flag rolled up, all the sick corpses were swept up in it.
He entered the death array again and followed the same method to collect the undead spirits inside.
After clearing out the evil spirits in the Four Sufferings Formation, Gong Mengbi once again raised the four flags of green, yellow, white and black, sweeping away the changes left by the head of Xima Mountain one by one, returning to his original state, and still using the Four Sufferings Formation to seek the truth and refine his mind.
Gong Mengbi went up the mountain along the path in the Four Sufferings Formation. The scenery changed along the way. The sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death in the human world were torturing his Taoist heart step by step.
Sometimes he would quietly comprehend it, and sometimes he would just laugh it off. When he reached the top of the mountain again, it didn't take him much effort.
Gong Mengbi summoned Qiu Yun and said, "I have restored the Four Suffering Formation to its original state. From now on, you will no longer need to use a token to go up or down the mountain. You will need to pass through the Four Suffering Formation. If you cannot pass the Four Suffering Formation and cannot leave the mountain, you will have to stay here and practice in seclusion. If you cannot go up the mountain, you will have no chance to visit Xima Mountain."
Gong Mengbi's movements in the Four Sufferings Formation were very big. Mysterious light scattered everywhere, Taoism was everywhere, and the mulberry, willow, locust and poplar trees kept moving, which had already alarmed Qiu Yun.
Hearing Gong Mengbi say this, Qiu Yun felt happy and said respectfully, "Yes, Master."
