Chapter 250: Speak Nicely, Fox Charm's Advice
Gong Mengbi lowered his eyes and said, "If we had waited a few more days, it would have been really difficult to kill him. However, today, while driving away the rats, he alarmed him. He hastily became a disaster demon, and his position is not stable. Although he has the cultivation level of a sixth-grade cultivator, he lacks the ability of a sixth-grade cultivator. Brother Chen and I are his natural enemies and nemesis, so we were able to kill him with some difficulty."
Despite Gong Mengbi's humility, the City God changed greatly and his attitude towards Gong Mengbi also subtly changed.
The middle three grades crushed the upper and lower three grades, but there wasn't such a huge gap between the middle three grades.
Even though the Rat King's transformation into a demon of disaster was not complete and he did not possess sufficient abilities, he was still a sixth-grade demon.
Now that the demon was dead, the City God lowered his guard and breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "When the demons used rats to break into the city, I sent people to interrogate the Rat King. This old demon was old and frail, and there was clear evidence that he was cultivating underground that day, so I let him go. Recently, the rat infestation has intensified, so I brought him in for questioning again, but he claimed that he was a rat monster raised by Taoism and was not under his jurisdiction. I didn't expect that this old monster was the cause of trouble. He didn't cherish his cultivation and practiced this evil way, trying to transform the demon into a demon."
"Luckily, the Fox Fairy caught him off guard. Otherwise, if he had escaped, who knows how many rat plagues he would have unleashed." The City God praised, "Palace Fox Fairy, and this one..."
Chen Jiayu clasped his fists and said, "Chen Jiayu."
"Chen Cat Fairy, you have done a great service in subduing demons and deserve a reward," the City God said thoughtfully. "From now on, I will make it easy for you to travel around the county town. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to find me at the City God Temple."
Gong Mengbi then bowed and said, "Thank you, City God."
Chen Jiayu followed suit.
The City God was very satisfied, but when he looked at the dark clouds formed by the evil spirit in the sky, he suddenly showed displeasure.
"The evil spirit is rampant, and I don't know how many people will be harmed."
Gong Mengbi suggested: "Evil energy hangs low and will naturally harm people. If you can control the wind and send the evil energy into the nine heavens, the pure energy of the nine heavens will naturally transform it and protect people's lives."
The City God took a look and said with a smile, "How could I have such great magical power? I see that the wind is strong today. Perhaps it will naturally dissipate after one night."
Gong Mengbi stopped talking.
The City God ordered, "Come here, collect the body of this beast and find out if his spirit is still there."
"Judge, quickly raid his lair. This beast can command demonic rats, and it might be connected to the theft of the treasury silver. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, we must uncover his lair!"
The County City God issued one order after another, and then disappeared outside the city again in a carriage.
After the ghost collected the Rat King's bones and searched several times, he could not find his soul, so he soon left.
Only Gong Mengbi, Chen Jiayu and the fox spirits who had fainted were left outside the city.
Chen Jiayu then stepped forward and bowed to Gong Mengbi, saying, "Thank you, Brother Gong, for your understanding."
Gong Mengbi looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you should talk to me about this matter."
Chen Jiayu looked hesitant, still wondering whether to say it or not, when a white light flashed before his eyes and he felt dizzy, as if he was caught in a soft whirlpool. He couldn't tell the directions and couldn't move or speak.
Gong Mengbi swept him away with the moon's tail, then looked at the fox spirits shrouded in red mist, stretched out his hand to grab them, and the mist floated and swayed, and then went back into the small golden furnace.
Gong Mengbi blew gently, and sparks flew and landed on the foxes.
Next, the fox spirits stood up, covering their tails and wailing, crying out: "Fire!"
"Hot, hot, hot!"
"It's burning me, it's burning me!"
"My tail is on fire!"
Only when I opened my eyes did I realize that my tail was not on fire. I was just awakened by the fire in my sleep.
Seeing Gong Mengbi, these fox spirits were like wilted chicks, full of respect and fear, saying, "Master Hu Zheng, please forgive us for our incompetence."
Gong Mengbi didn't blame him, but comforted him instead: "The Rat King is very advanced, so it's normal that you are no match for him. Thank you for your hard work today. I will invite you to visit Lanyin Mountain another day."
Hearing this name, the fox spirits immediately held their breath. One of them said cautiously, "Sir, Lanyin Mountain is not a good place to go."
Gong Mengbi asked curiously, "How do you say that?"
The fox spirit said, "Lanyin Mountain is very evil. In the early years, the Lanyin Temple on the mountain was quite famous, but later the monks there seemed to be possessed by evil spirits. Some fled and some died. After that, anyone who went in either came out in a mad state or never appeared again."
"We heard that a demon had set its sights on the Lanyin Temple's property and wanted to take it over. But we only heard countless shrill laughs from inside, and the demon never emerged again."
"Lanyin Mountain is already well-known for being an evil place. Whether it's monsters or humans, everyone knows not to trespass there."
Gong Mengbi knew they were talking about the Rakshasa Ghost Mother, but their advice comforted him, so he smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it."
Seeing that Gong Mengbi was confident and in awe of his abilities, these fox spirits stopped talking.
Everyone parted ways outside the city. Most of the fox spirits went to the villages and mountains. Only a few entered the city and quickly disappeared into the streets.
Gong Mengbi entered the city and looked at the officers and soldiers who had fainted on the ground. Not a single one of them was dead. He sighed deeply and waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers gradually woke up.
But when they woke up and saw the city gates opened again, they didn’t know what to feel.
Gong Mengbi was walking in the streets and alleys. It was only the second watch of the night.
There were dark clouds overhead, giving off an ominous aura, as if the sky was falling.
Although the spread of this evil spirit would not kill anyone, the people in the city would inevitably become seriously ill and suffer from temporary diseases.
I went back to Xiangjun's house first. Xiangjun had already returned. Looking at the thin bamboo that had been cut into sixty leaves, and then looking at Gong Mengbi who had walked in, he looked helpless and said, "You are back safely. I guess you must have returned victorious?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Of course I won. Sister Xiang can actually sense the aura of the disaster demon?"
Xiang Jun said: "I have attained the Tao in nature, so of course I can feel it."
She pointed to the sky again and asked, "How did such a big scene happen? How do we clean it up?"
Gong Mengbi said, "It's caused by the evil spirit of the disaster. We can clean it up later. Sister Xiang, please come with me to eat first. Xiao Yi'er is waiting for us."
Xiang Jun laughed and said, "Xiao Wu, go and rest first."
Xiao Wu was waiting in the corridor. Upon hearing the words, he went into the ear room. As soon as he entered the ear room, he saw Da Wu in a daze, staring straight out the window.
Xiao Wu then asked, "Brother Da Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Da Wu didn't hear Xiao Wu talking, so Xiao Wu pushed him gently.
He seemed to have been frightened by something. When he saw that it was Xiao Wu, he cried out "Ouch!", covered his head and grabbed the bed with his head, cursing: "Why am I so cheap? Why can't I listen to you?"
Little Wu asked curiously, "Big Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Big Wu wailed, raised his head and looked at Little Wu, his eyes flashing: "Have you seen a monster?"
