Chapter 690: Show Mercy
Wei Dapan saw him lost in thought and reminded him, "Don't think about it. Let fate come and go. If you know, you will know naturally. If you don't know, there is no need to think about it. There is a difference between yin and yang. Don't think too much."
Gong Mengbi was very receptive to the advice. After thinking about it, he transferred the magic power of the Moon-Running Technique to cover up the pure yang energy on his body.
Wei Dapan asked, "How come you have the leisure time to come and play in Haoli today?"
Gong Mengbi reached out again, but this time he found nothing. He took out the contract and placed it in front of Wei Dapan, saying, "I'm here to send someone to you."
Wei Dapan showed some surprise and asked, "What is this?"
He opened the contract and his eyes were fixed on the entry "Respect the Goddess of Mount Tai and be governed by the rules of the Yue Mansion". Then he read the entire contract carefully.
After reading it, Wei Dapan roughly guessed what Gong Mengbi was thinking, but he still confirmed it with him again.
Gong Mengbi replied, "As you can see, the Sky Fox Court can't accommodate these strange creatures. I want to educate them, but I can't let them be without supervision or a place to go. So I drafted this contract. After they leave, the Yue Mansion will take over their management. If the Grand Judge is willing, he can lead them into the way of ghosts and gods, and make them messengers of the Yin and Yang."
Wei Dapan was at a loss for words and said, "You're doing this on your own, but you want me to clean it up for you. You're making such a big fuss, but you don't even hide it at all?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "There are differences between Yin and Yang. Although the gods have their own responsibilities, there are always omissions. Since I started practicing, I don't know how many souls of the living and the dead have I seen wandering in the human world. Those who should have been extradited to the underworld ultimately had no place to go. Isn't it a pity?"
Wei Dapan said, "Guiding the living souls and escorting the dead souls is the work of the earth. It is not the job of my Yue Mansion to have the community gods capture them and hand them over to the city gods for interment. They should also bear the consequences of the sins of those wandering souls. Why should I bother myself with this?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "The Grand Judge may have deceived others, but not me. The human emperor appointed the world's city gods, and the goddess Hou Tu did not want to compete with him. Even the position of the world's capital city god was given to Tian Ziling by the emperor. The city gods today are not the same as before. Without the favor of the goddess, the world's capital city god is not in the right position, lacks majesty, and can hardly control the other gods. When the luck of heaven is insufficient, we can only rely on the luck of the country. Now that the luck of the country is also insufficient, what can we rely on? When the gods lose their positions, in the end, the Grand Judge can't just ignore it."
"Besides, whenever there's trouble, the land is most likely to be caught up in a catastrophe, which is beyond our control. Now that the Yue Mansion is so short of people, I can recruit students and educate them myself, without even having the Yue Mansion train them. The Grand Judge will then get a new hire for free, wouldn't that be a win-win for both sides?"
Wei Dapan looked at him without saying anything for a while, then said, "You are so talented. I must petition the Lord of the Mansion to keep you as a minister in the Yue Mansion, no matter what."
Gong Mengbi was startled and said hurriedly, "Please show some mercy, Judge!"
When he saw the smile in Wei Dapan's eyes, he realized that he had been fooled.
Wei Dapan was unhappy to see him so confident, so he played a trick on him and got back on his feet. Then he carefully tucked the deed into the memorial and said, "It's not impossible, but the details still need to be discussed. I can help you with this, but I need the Lord's consent. Do you want to go alone or should I?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you, Grand Judge. These are just some trivial matters, not worthy of disturbing the Lord, so I will not bother you. Please give my regards to the Lord for me."
Judge Wei waved his hand and said, "I understand."
Gong Mengbi was disliked by him and had to leave first.
As soon as he came out of Wei Dapan's government office, he saw a green-robed priest hurriedly holding a large pile of documents and heading towards the gate of Wei Dapan's government office.
Gong Mengbi's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to greet him, "Priest Yu, long time no see. How have you been lately?"
Yu He walked hurriedly and turned around when he heard the sound. Sure enough, he saw the plagued fox.
Seeing that his eyes were filled with gloom and resentment, Gong Mengbi didn't dare to say anything more.
Yu He glanced at him and said indifferently, "Thanks to the Immortal." He gathered the heavy pile of documents in his arms and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go first."
Gong Mengbi quickly slipped away to avoid being caught by the Lord.
As God knows, he respects and loves the Lord of the Mansion. It's not that he doesn't want to see him, but he is busy with government affairs and can't spare the time.
He was indeed not idle. When he returned to Fox Courtyard, he summoned the Five Ghosts and Gods to hold a banquet to entertain all the teachers in Fox Courtyard.
The last time I came back, I learned about the changes in Wuning County from the Five Ghost Gods. However, the Five Ghost Gods do not teach students after all. I still need to ask more questions to the teachers about the affairs of Fox Courtyard.
Moreover, he had been away for several years and had not seen his old friends for a long time, and he really missed them.
The Five Ghost Gods responded to the call, their forms different from last time. Last time, they offered incense and fire to the Five Ghost Gods, and although they couldn't eat any of it, the rest was left in Shouyue Tower. However, Gong Mengbi's cultivation had greatly improved, and with the guidance of the goddess, he discovered the magical tools of the immortals.
When projected onto the five ghosts and gods, the most obvious thing is that the appearance of death fades, while the appearance of ghosts and gods becomes more prominent.
They were originally five souls who had died tragically under the Five Ghosts Law and were enslaved, their appearances of death and evil indistinguishable. Now, the appearance of death has gradually faded, and the evil appearance has transformed into majesty, still maintaining the dual nature of ghosts and gods.
Today is the day when Ma Junji is teaching literature and classics at Fox Academy. Ning Caichen and Xu Boguang are both at home. Gong Mengbi wrote an invitation and asked Huang Changxia to invite them.
At night, after the Immortal Beilai finished teaching the cultivation subjects, Gong Mengbi cut out paper to make a moon and waited for everyone to come to the banquet.
The Immortal Beilai arrived first. Upon seeing Gong Mengbi, he sighed, "It's been a while. Have you made any progress in your cultivation?"
Gong Mengbi looked around and said something else, "It's been a while. Why is Taoist Luo not in the courtyard?"
The Great Immortal Beilai said, "He's not a fox, so he's not used to staying in Fox Hill for long. Not long ago, he took his disciples to look for a suitable place to see if he could rebuild the Lanzhu Taoist Temple."
Gong Mengbi thought for a moment and said, "Rebuilding the Taoist temple is not easy. If anyone can help, please let me know."
The Great Immortal Beilai said, "Thank you very much."
To be honest, Fox Hill is not very spiritual, especially with so many foxes. It is a good place to teach, but not a good place to practice.
The Great Immortal Beilai did not open a new cave in Longpan Mountain, and was still waiting for the Lanzhu Taoist Temple to be rebuilt.
As he was speaking, Kang Wen had already arrived with other fox fairies, surrounding Ma Junji.
There is no moon in the sky today, but here, the moon is bright and clear, and the mist is diffused, just like the Moon Palace.
Kang Wen was still able to control himself, and the other fox fairies were very happy to see Gong Mengbi. In recent days, the news of the master's return has been circulating, but no one has been seen.
Now that we are reunited, we are both happy and nervous.
At that time, he was still a student of Fox Academy, and he respected and feared Gong Mengbi. Now that he has become a teacher of Fox Academy, he still cannot change his nervousness when facing Gong Mengbi.
Several fox spirits bowed and said, "Greetings, Master!"
Master Gong lifted them up and said, "No need to be so polite. Come and take your seats."
Ma Junji also bowed and said, "Long time no see!"
Gong Mengbi grabbed his arm and invited him to sit down, saying, "Brother Ma is in better health than before."
Ma Junji laughed and said with emotion, "If it weren't for the fox fairy's care, it would have been very difficult for me to even make a living, let alone recuperate."
"It's a pity that Caichen and Bogong are not here, otherwise they would be very happy too."
