Chapter 736: Qi Condensation
Before this, they each performed their duties, setting up formations and casting spells in the forecastle, stern and other places to assist the Tianzhou in regulating the wind and qi. Now that they had accomplished their mission, they all gathered on the deck.
To push the Xunfeng boat into the breath of heaven and earth, General Zhaoming alone is not enough, and neither is Gong Mengbi. Only when all the immortals and gods work together can they finally succeed.
General Zhaoming relinquished his wind-god deity image and presented himself as an immortal, still dressed as a Taoist priest. His hair was pinned up with a golden lotus, and his robe sleeves fluttered in the wind.
The general's face showed a hint of weariness, but he smiled and said, "Thank you all my colleagues and fellow practitioners for your help. I received a message from the True Lord that this time, I was quite successful in regulating my Qi and wind, and I have resolved the critical situation."
"Thank you all for your hard work, Zhaoming thanks you!"
General Zhaoming bowed and saluted.
The immortals and gods returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, General!"
General Zhaoming said, "Today, I have returned to the Heavenly Palace and will commend you all for your achievements."
"Thank you, General!"
The wind gods returned to their respective positions, leaving only the immortals from the human world to remain.
The accompanying gods invited them to the bow tower one by one. Gong Mengbi looked around. Although he didn't recognize any of them, each of them had a pure aura, some with the aura of wind and clouds, some with the breath of clouds and water. They were all true Taoist practitioners with extremely deep attainments in the relevant Taoist magic powers.
Everyone looked at each other. Although they didn't know each other, they felt familiar with each other.
General Zhaoming said, "Thanks so much for your help this time. I must return to Tianfu today and cannot stay here long. I will repay you another day."
Everyone said they didn't dare and exchanged a few words with the general. Then, strange beasts appeared from the sky boat and carried everyone back to the human world.
Gong Mengbi did not move because the Qingjiao who was supposed to pick him up did not appear.
General Zhaoming's eyes were gentle as he said, "Your mission this time is the most important. Leading the way with Xunfeng is not easy. I didn't dare to entrust this to anyone else, so I entrusted it to you. Fortunately, you didn't let me down."
Gong Mengbi said: "The general has entrusted me with an important task, and I, Little Fox, cannot let him down."
He took the Xun Feng Yin in his hand, handed it to General Zhao Ming, and said, "Return it to its original owner."
General Zhaoming took the Xunfengyin and hung the silk ribbon around his waist. It then rose up into the wind and swayed continuously behind him.
"I have a certain ties of friendship with Zhang Yuanshi. He recommended you to me. If you would do me the honor, you can call me Brother Daoist. If not, that's fine."
The fox knew that he was somewhat annoyed and was using Zhang Yuanshi as a threat. He took advantage of the situation and replied obediently, "Brother Zhaoming."
General Zhaoming's face relaxed, and a shining magic pearl flew out from his sleeve. Lightning flashed in it, and the sound of thunder could be heard faintly.
The magic pearl flew in front of Gong Mengbi and stopped motionless, with only bright and dim light flickering.
General Zhaoming said, "This is the thunder bead formed when the eight winds intertwine and cannot flow freely, ultimately becoming stagnant and unable to dissipate. When a True Lord combs the winds and regulates the Qi, he encounters this kind of entangled and uncontrollable Qi, and he can only break it when necessary, eventually transforming it into a thunder bead."
Gong Mengbi knew the origin of the thunder bead. The Xunfeng boat transformed into a divine form. Through the eyes of the moon and the blue dragon, he saw the huge divine body performing magic in the sky.
"For me?"
General Zhaoming nodded with a smile and said, "I will give a Thunder Pearl to every fellow cultivator who comes to help me this time, but this one is the most difficult to obtain. While Thunder Pearls are easy to create, this one is the product of the intertwining of the Eight Winds, a pent-up evil spirit. Once unleashed, it instantly unleashes divine power that could cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to split. However, you must use it with caution, or you may injure yourself and others, and even disrupt the harmony of Heaven."
Gong Mengbi smiled, accepted the thunder bead, and said, "Thank you, Brother Dao."
"I won't visit you alone anymore. I'll come and have a small gathering with you when I have some free time in the future."
"Official business is more important. When you have some free time, I will host a banquet for you."
"Then it's settled."
Then the two little gods behind Gong Mengbi rang the bells, and the green dragon jumped out from the side of the Tianzhou. It shook its head and changed the divine chariot hanging around its neck into its original form, and then crawled beside Gong Mengbi.
"See you someday."
"See you someday."
The green dragon pulled the chariot and roared away, stirring up wind and clouds to conceal its figure, and went towards the human world.
The Xunfeng boat continued to sail towards the higher void, entered the cloud road invisible to the naked eye, disappeared into the sky, and returned to the heavenly palace.
With Fengyun accompanying them, the two little gods concentrated on driving and treated Gong Mengbi with more respect.
Gong Mengbi was holding the thunder bead in his hand. This thunder bead, which was composed of the evil energy of the eight winds, was indeed extremely dangerous. Just by holding it in his hand, he could feel the terrifying power within it.
The eight winds are blocked and the depressed qi accumulates.
The so-called eight winds are the exhalations of the earth and the sighs of heaven and earth. Stagnant qi stagnates, blocking the eight winds. This stagnation is sheared away by the True Lord with his great supernatural power, and eventually transformed into this thunder bead.
To a certain extent, this knot is a catastrophe, so releasing it means releasing the power of catastrophe, causing devastating damage.
For Gong Mengbi, this is a magical artifact that can save his life, but it is also a very tricky thing.
Compared to the lightning bead, the insights gained from the Xunfeng boat trip were more important. After this experience, his Eight Winds Method had the prospect of further improvement.
Understanding the changes in the world from his perspective and understanding the changes in the world from the perspective of gods are two different but mutually supporting and complementary perspectives.
Compared with external objects, the scenes where the True Lord uses his divine body to display his magical powers of combing the wind and regulating qi are more precious.
While he was thinking, Qing Jiao had already arrived at Fox Hill.
The two little gods bowed to Gong Mengbi and said goodbye, then disappeared into the sky on their green dragons.
Gong Mengbi's spirit returned to its sheath, but the lingering fragrance in the fox house had not yet dissipated.
The remaining smoke from the small golden incense burner was faint, and the tablet of the Goddess of Mount Tai sat motionless, like a small mountain.
Gong Mengbi offered another incense burner to the empress, thanked her for her support, and gave a brief account of what he had done.
Gong Mengbi no longer burns documents for the Queen Mother of Mount Tai, but he still recites a few words during the prayer.
After calming down, he opened the door and a refreshing breeze blew in, taking away some of the moisture in the fox house.
The five ghost gods dispersed from Gong Mengbi's door, disappeared into the shadows, and could no longer be seen.
Soon, the news of Gong Mengbi's return spread throughout Fox Courtyard.
Before this, the news that he was invited by the god in Tianfu to go to heaven to help the gods to comb their qi and regulate their energy spread in Fox Courtyard.
"Master really did go to heaven! The sky was clear when I woke up this morning!"
"Last night there was a strong wind, thunder and lightning. I thought it would continue to rain heavily today, but unexpectedly it cleared up."
"The Master is back, let's go ask him!"
When the teacher announced the end of get out of class, they didn't even have time to eat and all ran to Gong Mengbi's fox house.
