Chapter 761: Showing your noble hand
When the day dawned, the foxes in Chengyang Manor had already started working.
Chengyang Manor, this fake manor, does grow crops. There is no farmland, only vegetable plots planted with fruits, vegetables, herbs, and medicinal herbs, which also require constant care.
The fox temple in Xiapi County is obviously not as wealthy as the fox temple in Wuning County, which can completely stop production and only need to concentrate on cultivation. Wuning County is not short of wealth because Gong Mengbi is connected with the Shen family. The Miao Fox Society obviously does not have such ability, so the foxes have to work occasionally.
The Miao fox will have a good sleep, and when he wakes up, the other foxes have finished their work and started their daily homework.
Miao Huhui's mind was groggy, but he blamed himself in his heart. When he saw Shao Huzheng, he said ashamedly: "You came to help me, but I was sleeping soundly. I am really ashamed."
Shao Huzheng said: "Look in the mirror. If you don't get enough sleep, I'm afraid you'll die before the problem is solved."
Miao Huhui laughed embarrassedly.
Shao Huzheng made a joke, then pointed outside Chengyang Manor and said, "But you woke up at the right time. Look outside, they have been waiting for you for half a day."
Miao Huhui looked outside the village and saw two white-faced ghosts standing and spinning in the shade of the trees, looking anxiously in the direction of Chengyang Manor, but they were like headless flies and could not get in.
"This is?"
Shao Huzheng did not answer, but motioned him to listen carefully. Then he saw the two white-faced ghosts stop and shouted loudly: "Is Miao Huxian, the disciple of Tianhu Academy, at home? The City God wants to see you. Please take the time to meet him."
"What do you mean? Didn't you just kick me out yesterday? Why are you inviting me back today with courtesy?"
Miao Huhui looked at Shao Huzheng and asked, "What happened last night?"
Shao Huzheng laughed and said, "Mingfu Huzheng only used a little trick, and they are already anxious."
Miao Hu would be annoyed and say, "If I had known this, I would not have slept at all. I missed a lot of things. Tell me about it now."
Shao Huzheng didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's important for you to save your life first, and everything else will be easy."
Miao Huhui pursed his lips and said, "Where is Gong Huzheng?"
Shao Huzheng said: "I am wandering in my mind."
"What about the two outside?"
"Just leave it there and wait for Mingfu Huzheng to speak."
The two anxious white-faced ghosts were still wandering outside Chengyang Manor, refusing to leave.
Gong Mengbi was indeed in a trance. He used the smoke from the small golden furnace to block the void and cut off from prying eyes and ears. He then entered a state of meditation and saw the precious tree with lush branches and leaves and hanging precious letters.
Jade leaves clanged, and the sun and the moon flew out from the left and right of the wishing tree, hovering in front of Gong Mengbi.
The one that looks like the sun is the Sun-wheel Golden Pill. The goddess saw the flaw in his practice and gave him this pill. The Sun-wheel Golden Pill was nurtured in Gong Mengbi's spiritual altar day by day, and it became more and more spiritual and divine as it was nurtured. There was an illusion that it was nurturing the Golden Crow divine bird. Gong Mengbi never understood the way of pure yang, so the spirituality in the golden pill never broke out of its shell.
The one that looks like the moon is the Taiyin Jade Egg, which is the immortal fetus obtained from the Wutong God. Although the spirit in it has long died, Gong Mengbi is nurturing his own god in it through the shape of the jade egg, and the immortal fetus is gradually reviving.
The sun and the moon echoed on the left and right, falling into the mysterious light behind Gong Mengbi's head.
Gong Mengbi looked up at the precious tree and asked the fox how to make a connection with it. If you make good connections, you will hang up the precious certificate. If you cut off bad connections, a precious tree will grow.
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand, and a white precious certificate hung down from the treasure tree, with Zhang Chengzu's name written on it.
He closed his eyes and looked around, then he saw billions of threads of connection spread across the void. What he held in his hand was the connection he had with Zhang Chengzu.
Gong Mengbi no longer used this trick very often. Since he had cultivated to a high level, he could tell the depth of fate at a glance. Just like he manipulated fate last night and reversed the master-disciple relationship between Zhang Chengzu, there was no need to sacrifice the treasure tree anymore.
The reason I came to find out is that Zhang Chengzu is really interesting. Although the roots of cultivation are rare, they cannot hold such a big situation.
Gong Mengbi has always been more vigilant. Even the good godmother of Jin Ting Daxian failed to catch him. Gong Mengbi is even more good at playing with fate. How could he be passively involved in the game?
Miao Huhui and Shao Huzheng didn't have to wait long, and soon Gong Mengbi's door opened.
Miao Huhui came to inquire, saying, "Gong Huzheng, those two wandering gods have been calling outside for a long time."
Gong Mengbi said: "Since you are invited, just go."
"I go alone?" Miao Huhui was dumbfounded.
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Don't worry, he won't make things difficult for you. When he asks you something, just tell him the truth."
Miao Huhui opened the gate of Chengyang Manor nervously, and the two white-faced wandering gods came forward with great joy to pay their respects. They followed all the rules and did not trespass, but waited outside the door to be summoned.
Miao Huhui was not the kind of person who would put on airs, so even though he had his doubts in his heart, he still followed the two parading gods to the City God Temple.
After they passed the screen wall, the temple priest bowed and guided them, saying, "Miao Fox Fairy, the City God wants to see you."
Miao Huhui glanced at him, not expecting him to behave like this.
When they entered the City God Hall, they saw that the City God in the hall had changed his appearance. The ghost messengers holding water and fire sticks on both sides had disappeared, and only maids and servants were left serving on the side.
The City God was sitting in the main seat, wearing casual clothes. When he saw him coming, he came to greet him personally and said, "Miao Hu Hui, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come, come, take a seat."
The maid led him to a seat, but Miao Huhui felt so restrained that he didn't know where to put his hands.
After sitting down, Miao Huhui realized that besides him, there was also a thin old Taoist in the hall.
The City God introduced: "This is Taoist Priest Hou, who practices in Tiger Mountain and truly practices Taoism."
Miao Huhui then exchanged greetings with Taoist Hou.
The City God said with a smile: "I invited the Miao Fox Society to come here to apologize to them. Last night, I thought about it and realized that I did not treat everyone equally and neglected the Fox Society."
Miao Huhui was flattered and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
The City God said, "The Zhang family's child was not disciplined and disturbed the fox fairy's practice. This is really wrong. I can make the decision and ask him to come to the night trial and make the child apologize to the fox fairy and return the fox book."
Miao Huhui had not expected that the matter would be resolved like this. He sighed for a moment, but he also said sincerely: "Thank you, City God, for handling the matter impartially."
"It was my negligence that disturbed the Fox Society. I shouldn't have done that. I offer a toast to the Fox Society." The City God personally toasted to the Miao Fox Society to apologize.
Miao Huhui did not make it difficult, and after drinking, he decided not to pursue the matter any further.
The City God then said, "Miao Huhui, the Zhang family boy was at fault first, but considering his young age and ignorance, please be merciful and let him go."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
Taoist Priest Hou stood up and said, "The Zhang family boy and I have a master-disciple relationship. He was at fault first and shouldn't have stolen the Fox Book. I am willing to apologize on his behalf. I only ask the Fox Society to show mercy, sever his relationship with us, and take back his practice. Don't let him go astray and become irreversible."
"I am very grateful."
