Chapter 98: Black Dragon Gathers Strength, Red Fox Spreads Net
Liu Sheng knew that it was because of the cold he felt after drinking, and also because he seemed to be too nervous in the dream, so he broke out in a cold sweat.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Excuse me, sir."
The lamp that the old servant had blown out lit up again, and the red flame vaguely had the shape of a fox.
Gong Mengbi looked at Liu Sheng and sighed, "Why is the county lieutenant so serious?"
Liu Sheng didn't know how to explain it.
Maybe it was because his sister's death dealt him a heavy blow, maybe it was because his parents' deaths left him alone, or maybe it was because his career was not going well, but no matter what the reason, he had indeed let out the anger in his heart.
But what Liu Sheng cared about was not this, but everything shown in the dream.
"Who are you? What do you want to tell me through this dream?"
Under the dim candlelight, a flame gradually lit up in the eyes of this drunken man, carrying majesty and murderous intent.
Gong Mengbi didn't want to keep him in suspense and said bluntly, "I'm Gong Mengbi, and I'm in charge of the fox society in Wuning County. I'm in charge of all fox affairs."
"I visited the City God a few days ago and saw Miss Liangji in the City God Temple."
Liu Sheng then realized that the person before him was actually a fox fairy. He asked anxiously, "Is she doing well now?"
Gong Mengbi said: "As you saw in your dream, she has married the City God and become his concubine."
Liu Sheng was puzzled and asked, "Why did I become a ghost concubine? And since I married the City God, why didn't I see him in my dreams?"
Gong Mengbi said quietly, "Back then, you and she attended the temple fair, burning incense and praying in the City God Temple. You hoped she would find a good partner and live a peaceful and happy life. She hoped you would have a smooth career and rise to prominence."
"It's a pity that the City God didn't hear your wishes, he only saw her beauty."
"The City God wanted to marry her as a ghost concubine, so he caused her to fall ill and die. The little ghost then strangled her throat, leaving her unable to speak or call for help."
"The day you hold her funeral is the day the City God marries her. What you saw in your dream was not today, but many years ago."
"It's not that she doesn't want to visit you in your dreams, but she's been imprisoned in the City God Temple and can't leave. This time, she asked me to come find you, but not to ask for your help. She hopes I can protect your safety and that you live well."
"But when I see you, I feel that a man who has no ambition, spends his days drunken, and still relies on his poor sister for protection, is no better than a beast."
Liu Sheng's heart was broken. He clenched his hands and pounded his chest twice, tears welling in his eyes: "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of her. She suffered so much and still worried about me."
He suddenly stood up to grab the scabbard hanging on the knife rack and was about to rush out to rescue Liang Ji.
But as soon as he opened the door, it was pushed back by an invisible force. Liu Sheng pulled the door again, but it did not move at all.
Liu Sheng turned around and looked at Gong Mengbi, his eyes showing a determination that didn't care about life or death.
Gong Mengbi sighed deeply. "What's the difference between you going like this and committing suicide? I can still bring you back to life in my dreams, but if you don't learn from your mistakes, I can't save you, and I can't save her either."
Liu Sheng stood still, recalling his dream.
The cold rain and gloomy sky made it seem as if he had become one with himself in his dreams.
Gradually regaining his composure, Liu Sheng bowed deeply and said, "Please enlighten me, Fox Fairy!"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "The City God is a legitimate deity. Even though you are only a county lieutenant, you alone cannot destroy him, even if you destroy his statue."
"But now the City God has acted perversely, and retribution is imminent. I hope you will strengthen your spirit, hone your martial arts, and wait for the right time."
Liu Sheng's heart seemed to be burning with fire. He said angrily, "How long should I wait?"
Gong Mengbi laughed. "You already know. There's no need for me to explain. I'm just afraid that this day will come too soon, and your knife won't be sharp enough."
Liu Sheng said: "I swear to heaven, I will rescue Liang Ji with my own hands."
Gong Mengbi felt relieved, and his figure gradually faded away. "I left the ghosts and gods under my seat to help you communicate with yin and yang. I hope you can get what you want, and I also hope that Miss Liangji can escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible."
Gong Mengbi disappeared in the room, and the red light disappeared along with him.
Liu Sheng held the knife in his hand, his eyes were dark, but he felt as if a shadow was falling behind him.
"Fox Fairy, Fox Fairy!"
I only heard the shadow say, "The master has left. I am the ghost under his seat, Chixia."
Chixia is naturally the red-clothed ghost among the five ghosts.
The reason why Chi Xia was left behind was, firstly, to help Liu Sheng solve his doubts, secondly, to communicate between yin and yang, and thirdly, to protect Liu Sheng from any accidents.
Gong Mengbi returned to Fox Hill to observe the weather.
The thing he did most these days was to climb high places to look at the clouds in the sky, gathering and dispersing them.
The clouds observed that night were different from those in the past.
Although the clouds were thick and the wind was strong, it didn't rain, which was rare.
This black dragon condensed by the breath of heaven and earth continued to gather momentum. Wind continued to blow from the southeast, and the clouds in the sky were flashing with lightning and thunder.
Water dragons entwined and condensed with each other, constantly merging into the giant black dragon, accumulating unimaginable power.
Gong Mengbi's heart was also beating constantly as this power accumulated. He was gathering momentum, accumulating all his strength, waiting for a shocking blow.
Gong Mengbi's strength is limited, and he cannot truly fly to the top of the sky to observe the fate between heaven and earth.
It was raining continuously and there was no way to judge the weather through the stars. He didn't know what was blocking the black dragon.
But he knew that this was the black dragon's desperate struggle. Once successful, it would swim from the south to the north and roam the earth without restraint.
But if it fails, the water vapor that continues to accumulate in the sky will not have enough power to move forward again, and that will be the beginning of a real disaster for the entire southeast.
The vast marshland and the frogs born in the sunken stove are by no means just verbal expressions and inferences.
