Chapter 267: Hanging a Sign and Handing Over Documents
The writing brush, ink, paper, inkstone, books and classics he brought with him to take the exam two years ago were all taken away by his servant, and he had not reviewed them for a long time.
Nowadays, in order to teach, I have to review what I have learned, read more and prepare lessons.
The good thing is that Gong Mengbi has Mingfu Fox Book as the textbook outline, and Gong's Fox Book as the internal teaching material. Apart from the part about cultivation, the teaching objectives and content of Wenjing Yida can also be used as a reference for Mr. Zhu.
Gong Mengbi did not bother to go back to Wuning County on June 15th and brought Zhu Zhengxin with him.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji were old acquaintances of his. When Gong Mengbi was teaching the history of foxes in Fox Academy, they drank and talked in the academy, exchanging teaching experiences and precautions.
Zhu Zhengxin gained a lot of experience. Looking at Ning Caichen and Ma Junji, the two scholars' conversation became increasingly clear, revealing a great deal of wisdom and knowledge. He couldn't help but sigh, "If they were to take the exam again this year, you two would definitely pass."
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji smiled at each other and said, "We still have to take the exam. Passing is the best, but if you fail, it doesn't matter. The key to studying is not necessarily to achieve fame and honor."
Zhu Zhengxin laughed and said, "It's not possible in the human world, but it can be done by fox spirits."
Ning Caichen laughed and said, "Whether it's a human or a fox, who isn't within the Great Dao?"
"Well said." Ma Junji toasted him with a glass of wine.
After Gong Mengbi finished his story of foxes, he continued to lead the foxes in offering sacrifices. The fox offering method is to offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and also to my own gods. Heaven and I are one. The foxes may not have such a deep understanding yet, but it is of great benefit to their practice.
After the Fox Sacrifice, Kang Wen and Kang Yunu reported to him about the situation in the Fox Courtyard over the past month.
They were experienced and handled the situation properly, but none of them could compare to one thing that made Gong Mengbi happy: Kang Wen was about to be admitted to the rank of a high-ranking official.
Kang Wen herself has not realized it yet, and Gong Mengbi has not said it out loud. When she is ready, she will naturally understand it.
From being outside the mainstream to entering the realm of quality, such a leap is different from the ordinary world.
She was probably the first fox cub to reach the rank of rank that Gong Mengbi had trained. Although Gong Mengbi showed a lot of favoritism and care for her, it was also a manifestation of the potential of the wild fox. There was also a rumor going around in the Heavenly Fox Academy.
Gong Mengbi did not disturb Kang Wen for the time being. When she succeeded, there would naturally be gifts waiting for her.
Gong Mengbi summoned the Five Ghosts to inquire about Wu Ning's recent situation. These five were Gong Mengbi's retainers, often appearing and disappearing mysteriously. They often took turns on duty at the Fox Courtyard, and most of the time, they were in Wuning County and Longpan Mountain to gather information for Gong Mengbi.
Huang Changxia said, "Everything is peaceful."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Please keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, come find me in Jinhua."
The five ghost gods agreed.
Gong Mengbi took Zhu Zhengxin back to Lanyin Temple. Although he had drunk some wine, Zhu Zhengxin did not get drunk. He was now guarding his heart, and he was most afraid of being drunk and going crazy. His lust was uncontrollable, and he was more like a pig demon than a human.
After Zhu Zhengxin was ready, on July 1st, the group of foxes went to visit Gong Mengbi, who told them that the Fox Academy was officially recruiting students.
Teach two subjects: scriptures and spiritual practice.
The text was taught by Zhu Zhengxin, and the practice was taught by Gong Mengbi. The Fox Monastery provided accommodation and food, and the head monk, A Niang, was appointed to manage all matters related to the Fox Monastery.
Each term lasts three years, and students leave after completing their studies. Students from Fox Academy who complete three years of study and pass the assessment can participate in the selection process for Sky Fox Academy. Once selected, they become students of Sky Fox Academy and can expect to achieve immortality.
The Lanyin branch of the Fox Temple in Dongyang County was officially opened. A new plaque was hung next to the Lanyin Temple plaque, with the words "Lanyin Fox Temple" written on it.
This huge, deserted, lonely and empty Buddhist temple suddenly became lively.
Niang counted the number of people and said, "Sir, there are eighty-six fox children enrolled."
This number did not exceed Gong Mengbi's calculations. Among them, there were more than 50 foxes that Gong Mengbi had summoned to drive away rats, and later participated in the construction of Taishan Niangniang Temple and the renovation of Lanyin Temple.
These foxes have seen Gong Mengbi's abilities and have participated in the construction of the Fox Courtyard themselves, so they can follow Gong Mengbi so firmly.
Those who were skeptical and entangled in worldly affairs were still practicing in the mountains and forests in the countryside and did not come.
When a sign was hung at the Fox Courtyard in Jinhua County, Gong Mengbi began to travel in his mind and flew to the Heavenly Fox Courtyard.
This time, he was familiar with the route. When he arrived at the Sifang Courtyard, he greeted the man in flowery clothes, Hu Yuanshi.
Hu Yuanshi recognized him and said with a smile, "You are here again, looking for your master?"
Gong Mengbi nodded in agreement and said, "Thank you, Dean Hu, for your help."
Dean Hu waved his hand and said, "It's okay."
"Second Aunt, take him in."
A magpie flew over the courtyard wall to lead the way, passed through the gatepost of the square courtyard, and entered the Tianhu Courtyard.
The magpie chirped, and Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you, Second Aunt."
Second Aunt cried out and flew away.
When he saw Dr. Huang, he smiled and said, "I haven't been here for a while. How come you have time today?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I'm here to deliver the paperwork and come see Master."
Dr. Huang asked, "What document?"
Gong Mengbi told her about the Lanyin Fox Court and said, "I'm here to submit a document to ask for money."
Dr. Huang smiled and said, "It's been three years since the Wuning County Fox Courtyard opened. During the Tianhu Courtyard annual examination, you really made the Wild Foxes proud. Now that you've established the Jinhua County Fox Courtyard, raising funds shouldn't be difficult."
Gong Mengbi said, "I really don't have much money left. My family is big and it's not enough to spend. There are hundreds of mouths to feed in the two fox courtyards. I can't afford it anymore."
Dr. Huang said, "Then you have to find a way to make a living. You can certainly get enough food and clothing by relying on the money and food from the Sky Fox Academy, but there's no place to reimburse you for your own expenses."
Gong Mengbi said, "I'm already thinking about it. If all else fails, I'll just capture the foxes and make them work as laborers."
Dr. Huang laughed and said, "That's all nonsense. If you need to spend money urgently, I can lend it to you."
Gong Mengbi knew the joke was over and quickly waved his hands, saying, "How dare I ask Master for help? I still have enough money to spend."
Dr. Huang shook his head and said, "Don't be polite with me. Just tell me if you need anything."
Gong Mengbi said, "I do have one request for you, Master."
Dr. Huang asked, "What's the matter?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Ask the master if there is anyone else who can be invited to teach the fox boy of Lanyin Temple."
Dr. Huang said, "I'll keep an eye on it for you, but I'm afraid it's a long shot. Fox immortals like Beilai Daxian are hard to come by. I've been in the Heavenly Fox Court for a long time and don't know much about human affairs, so I might not be able to find a suitable one."
Gong Mengbi said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master. I'll look for it here as well."
He sighed and said, "I've only been idle for a few months, and now I'm busy again."
Dr. Huang smiled and said, "It's better to be busy. I'm not afraid of you being busy, I'm just afraid of you not being able to be busy."
