Chapter 278: What to do and what not to do
However, since it is "cautious and not reckless", it means that it is not impossible to approach, but you need to be extremely careful and use your brain more.
If it really cannot be touched at all, then this is not the case.
Gong Mengbi wrote to the Ministry of News, requesting to review the Ministry's files.
Perhaps it was a special instruction from Fairy Qingyao, so Fengwensi did not reject it.
Gong Mengbi was able to see the files and get a glimpse of the true nature of the Five-Directional God.
The dossier clearly states that the Five Tongs are the Five Devils. Mountain spirits and water monsters often travel together with the Five Devils.
But Wuchang is not Wutong's true face, but a demon under Wutong's command.
The real Wutong is located on the upper mountain of Gusu. This is the real Wutong God, whose supernatural powers are so vast that they are difficult to fathom.
But it seems that he does not have true god-like Taoism, and is unable to achieve all-encompassing and comprehensive response. Therefore, although he is everywhere, he cannot cover everything, and still needs various five evildoers to collect incense for him.
It may also be because Wutong asks for a lot. Not only does he need incense, but he also needs fate, wealth, and good deeds. He wants everything, so naturally he needs more people to drive him.
The Five Gods in various places are both soldiers under his command and subordinate gods who act on his behalf.
The Five Wild Gods are numbered after five, and they are either mountain spirits or evil ghosts. They act recklessly and have low moral character, and cannot follow the way of righteous gods.
At the very least, it could be used to tease people, and at the worst, it could kill people, but it was also extremely effective.
The people may respect its efficacy or fear its evil, but they are always extremely convinced of it.
There are many records about Wuchang in the files, but there are only a few words about the real Wutong God. We only know that his supernatural powers are great, but we don’t know what his supernatural powers are or how great they are.
Gong Mengbi returned the file and began to think.
The greed of the Five Powerful Gods is far greater than that of ordinary ghosts and gods.
Such a greedy and evil god has been able to survive to this day and has not been slain, which shows his abilities and means.
No wonder the five seventh-rank Five-Devil Gods could say such things without fear of the City God of the County, let alone the City God of the County.
The City God of Gusu is a third-rank god, in charge of the city gods of Jiangnan, and a true frontier official, but the cave of the Five Gods is located on Shangfang Mountain outside the city of Gusu.
The Five-Powered God is at least on par with a third-rank God, and a third-rank God is already on the same level as the headmaster of the Sky Fox Academy.
You really need to be cautious with such an opponent.
However, when dealing with such an opponent, we cannot avoid them. Instead, we must continue to inquire about them so that we can know both ourselves and the enemy.
Gong Mengbi could certainly turn a blind eye, but that was not his way of immortality.
When you are weak, you can accumulate strength, or even pretend to be submissive, but you cannot do nothing.
The Goddess of Mount Tai is watching from above, and the immortal duties of "being inspired by spirits and showing mercy to all" are not just talk.
Gong Mengbi went to the county town and went to Mingyue Ice House first, but the ice house was indeed closed.
When he entered through the wall, he saw that the backyard was gloomy and the accountant and the farmhands were sighing.
He walked straight into Manager Shen's room and saw him lying on the bed, motionless. If he wasn't still breathing faintly, people would have thought he was dead.
Gong Mengbi went forward and took a look, and realized that it was a lost soul.
Wu Chang must have tortured Shen Youwei's soul to know that the Shen family had a rare treasure. After the torture, no one knew where he hid his soul.
Now that Wuchang is dead, I can’t ask him about it, so I can only try the art of summoning his spirit.
Gong Mengbi lit a small golden incense burner, and smoke filled the room.
He activated the Taiyue Divine Talisman and performed the art of summoning the spirit, "Shen Youwei...Shen Youwei..."
I called out twice, and there seemed to be a response, but not strong.
Gong Mengbi realized that there seemed to be some obstruction, so he changed the method of summoning souls into the method of calling gods, and called out again: "Chen Youwei, why don't you show up!"
At the command, they come immediately.
Shen Youwei's divine consciousness appeared in the room and saw Gong Mengbi. Although he didn't recognize him, he knew that he was the one who saved his life, so he quickly pleaded, "Please help me, immortal!"
Gong Mengbi asked, "Where are you now?"
Shen Youwei said, "My soul was taken away by five demons, and I was bewitched by a spell that made me lose my mind. Then, a strange wind blew me to the Saint Aunt Temple outside the city south, and I was invited by three gods in the temple to stay as a guest."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, I will come to find you later."
When this ray of divine thought dissipated, Gong Mengbi frowned.
Gong Mengbi didn't recognize the Sanxian Temple, so he went to Anyi Restaurant to ask Fatty Kang first.
Fatty Kang listened and called out, "Jialu, do you know the Sanxian Temple?"
Jialu went into the back kitchen and, upon seeing Gong Mengbi, shrank his neck and said, "Isn't the Three Immortals Temple by the water south of the city? Perhaps the creatures in the water have become spirits. People say that if you worship them in the water, you won't drown, and it's quite effective."
The domestic deer is a local rat. If Ziyang hadn't left, nothing in Jinhua City would have been hidden from him. But now that the domestic deer is king, they are well-informed.
It didn't sound like an evil god, so Gong Mengbi went straight to the south of the city, and sure enough, he saw the Sanxian Temple by the water in the south of the city.
In this small temple, three clay statues are enshrined.
After entering the temple, Gong Mengbi felt the gaze coming from the statue.
Gong Mengbi said, "The three of you, please show yourself and have a chat."
The three immortals dared not refuse, and stepped out from the statue, transformed into three old men, bowed and said, "Greetings, Immortal."
Gong Mengbi asked, "I have a friend named Shen who has lost his soul. I wonder if you three have ever seen him?"
The three old men looked at each other, and one of them sighed and said, "I told you not to force it. If it's not meant to be, why force it?"
Another one shook his head slightly, and the third one, with a look of shame on his face, said, "He was under the spell of bewitching, and he was in a daze and had nowhere to go. So we rescued him and kept him in the Water Palace."
"My Lord, I'll bring him up right now."
The old man dived into the water, and soon came up with a man, who was none other than Shen Youwei.
Gong Mengbi saw that the three monsters had quite clear auras and asked curiously, "You three are virtuous gods, so why are you keeping him here?"
The three monsters said, "We are water spirits, but our cultivation is shallow and our life span is short. We are worried that the Three Immortals Temple will be empty, so we want to select a few virtuous people to become the three immortals to watch over the people living by the water."
The old man who left Shen Youwei behind said, "I am the oldest and my life span has come to an end. Seeing that young friend Shen is knowledgeable and loyal, I wanted to entrust the Three Immortals Temple to him, so I let him stay as a guest."
"It is indeed fate. I cannot force you to stay. So the immortal came to me."
Gong Mengbi looked at Shen Youwei and asked, "Are you willing to stay and be a god, or go back and be your shopkeeper?"
Shen Youwei hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "If I can't even be a good human being, how can I be a ghost or a god?"
The old man sighed and said, "Well, please punish me, Immortal."
Gong Mengbi looked at the deathly aura around him and said, "I won't punish you. But you must understand that forcing a soul to stay alive is the same as killing it. Regardless of your original intention, you have already strayed from the right path. You have lived a clean life, but now you have ruined yourself?"
The old man bowed to Shen Youwei and said, "It is my fault. Please forgive me."
Shen Youwei sighed, waved his hand, and said, “Forget it, I don’t blame you.”
He looked at Gong Mengbi, and Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Close your eyes, I'll take you back."
Shen Youwei closed his eyes, and Gong Mengbi put him into the small golden furnace.
Gong Mengbi looked back at the Sanxian Temple and said, "Don't forget your roots." Then he turned into smoke and disappeared.
The three old men from the Sanxian Temple walked out of the door, only to see the smoke dissipate and the immortals disappear.
The three old men looked at each other and blamed themselves, saying, "I'm really old and confused. I've forgotten the basics. It's really a sin."
