Chapter 836: Standing Peng Technique
The whistling wind swirled around the winding mountain walls, making high and low mournful cries that could frighten people to the point of paralysis. The pale moon fell on the bare mountains, with jagged rocks, casting ghostly shadows, which could scare away those ignorant mortals.
Such a poor and remote place is full of places for evil spirits to hide. In the stalagmite forest, there was a bonfire, and the smoke spread in the moonlight, with a green aftertaste.
Not far from the bonfire, men, women, old and young, dressed in green and hemp clothes sat in an open space, facing the moon, their eyes green with expressions of admiration and obsession.
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand to grab the moon. In the eyes of those foxes, the moon seemed to be grabbed by him and pulled down into the mountain. It became bigger and bigger in their eyes until there was nothing else in their field of vision. It seemed as if they could jump up and fly into the Moon Palace.
Behind Gong Mengbi was the boundless moonlight, and in front of him were the obsessed foxes. His voice woke the foxes from their obsession: "If you don't concentrate and practice, what are you waiting for?"
Fox followed his guidance and practiced the method of worshiping the moon and submitting to the qi. It was as if he was really in the Moon Palace. Many inspirations that he could not feel before were now easily felt, and obstacles that he could not overcome were also easily overcome.
The foxes' minds gradually calmed down and entered a state of concentration. A fox fairy in green clothes sitting in the front stood up and sighed, "Watching Mr. Mingfu perform the magic just now, not only these foxes, but even I couldn't help but follow his guidance and benefited a lot."
He hesitated a bit, but still asked, "Could it be the Li Peng technique?"
Gong Mengbi was a little surprised, but also felt relieved, and said: "It is the Li Peng technique."
The fox fairy in green clothes was not mistaken, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She said, "As expected, last time Xun Jijiu taught me the art of standing on the twig, I studied it seriously afterwards and gained some insights. But Mr. Mingfu's magical powers are too high, so I dare not recognize him."
Gong Mengbi said: "The art of standing on a bush is based on the idea that a bush grows straight without support. To stand on a bush, you must first plant the hemp. The more skilled, confident, and determined you are, the easier it will be to perform successfully. I have some understanding of the moon worship method, so I can convince others with the art of standing on a bush. If I am not good at it myself, it will be difficult for me to influence you."
"I see. I was wondering why my Standing Peng Technique sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. It turns out it's because there are some parts in the Fox Book that I can't say I know for sure."
Gong Mengbi asked him to find the fox book and asked, "What is unclear?"
The fox fairy was overjoyed, and explained all the confusions in his mind and asked Gong Mengbi for guidance.
The Fox Book is not difficult to understand, but not every dean of the Fox Academy is proficient in the nine techniques mentioned in the Fox Book. The man in front of him was born a wild fox and was particularly unfamiliar with the art of foreknowledge. He had learned a few methods of divination, but they were sometimes effective and sometimes not, and most of them were ineffective.
Gong Mengbi picked up a few stones from the ground and discussed the fox fairy's ability to tell fortunes. Foxes have advantages in fortune-telling, because they have the ability to see through the dark and are divine witches. They can be messengers of the gods, so telling fortunes is not difficult.
Gong Mengbi guided him to touch his inner spirit and sense the "God", which gave him a flash of inspiration. In an instant, he shuddered, as if a door that had been closed for a long time was opened, and clear energy came in. He could also feel the "God" through this door.
Gong Mengbi practiced the Tongtian method and took him to gain insights, and he understood it immediately.
The fox fairy showed surprise on his face, and then looked at Gong Mengbi with eyes full of admiration: "Mr. Mingfu's ability has surpassed many assistants and doctors in Tianhu Academy, but it is really a waste of his talent to teach a fox."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "How many doctors and lecturers are there in Tianhu Academy? How many famous teachers are there in Yehu Academy? How can I be considered a waste of talent? I should definitely make great achievements."
The fox fairy was full of admiration, but still felt sorry for Gong Mengbi: "With your ability, you can be recommended to ascend to heaven sooner or later in the Heavenly Fox Court, or serve in the Heavenly King Palace, or in the Sun and Moon Palace. You can become a celestial fox early, isn't it wonderful? You are willing to sacrifice your life for the wild fox, I am afraid that you will delay a lot of practice, which really makes me feel ashamed."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Whether it's heaven or the human world, there is no place where you can't practice. If you enter the heavenly palace and become a god, you will be respected as a god, but you won't have the freedom you have now. If one day all the spirits in the world have the opportunity to ascend to heaven, wouldn't it be great for me to be a fox who writes books? It won't be worse than being in heaven."
The fox fairy bowed deeply and said, "Sir, your virtue makes me ashamed."
Gong Mengbi lifted his arm and said, "You are guarding the Stone Mountain alone, and it is not easy to manage it. Since you have invested so much effort, you must be firm and calm. Although the fox fairies in the world cannot be said to be as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, how many can catch the eye of the goddess? During this inspection, you should understand the importance the goddess attaches to the Fox Courtyard. If you do well, you will be on the ladder to success."
The fox fairy looked at Gong Mengbi, who stared into his eyes and said, "Even if you were born into a noble family, if you are not from the main lineage, no matter how outstanding you are, you still have to be a slave to seek some opportunities. But now your opportunity is right in front of you, you must cherish it."
The fox fairy's mind was filled with thoughts, and when he looked at Gong Mengbi, his eyes quickly collapsed. His throat moved up and down, and he said, "Sir, I am..."
Gong Mengbi shook his head slightly and stopped him from speaking with his eyes.
Gong Mengbi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You know where Wu Ning Fox Court is. If you have any questions about cultivation or teaching, just send me a message and I will tell you everything I know.
Without waiting for his reaction, Gong Mengbi turned around and merged into the boundless moonlight, dissipating like smoke, leaving only the words "Let us encourage each other" lingering in the fox fairy's ears.
The fox fairy took two steps forward and called out, "Sir!"
But there was no response.
As the night deepened, two graceful figures appeared in the stone forest. They blew a flute in the mountain, but no sound came out, but a whimpering sound of the wind.
After a while, the fox fairy in green clothes walked into the stone forest, and when she saw the two figures, she bowed and said, "Hello, young lady."
The young lady hid her true face with a veil and did not speak to him. The maid behind her stepped forward with a sharp gaze and asked, "An Wenli, when you invited Gong Mingfu here today, did you tell him about the recommendation?"
An Wenli lowered his eyes and said, "I tried to insinuate it, but Gong Mingfu doesn't seem to have such intention."
The maid frowned and was about to question, but the young lady stopped her with her hand.
The young lady's voice was gentle and pleasant. She asked, "President An, what did you tell him?"
An Wenli then repeated everything that had been said to the young lady word for word.
The young lady sighed and said, "It is true. He would indeed say such things."
She looked at An Wenli and encouraged him, "Thank you for your trouble."
An Wenli was silent for a moment, then he knelt in front of the young lady and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. From now on, I can no longer work for you."
"What do you mean?" the maid raised her voice and asked, "What do you mean?"
An Wenli lowered his head, revealing his neck, without saying a word.
The young lady looked at him for a moment and asked, "You don't want to work with me. Do you plan to become a wild fox again and follow Gong Mingfu to become the dean of the Fox Courtyard?"
An Wenli kowtowed to the young lady, then knelt before her and said, "You have done me a great favor, and I will never forget it. But Gong Mingfu has also been very sincere to me, and I cannot let him down."
He was lying on the ground, and a simple blow of the sword would pierce his fragile neck and separate his head from his body.
The maid had already drawn her sword and was about to do the same.
But the lady still reached out to stop her, turned around and said: "Forget it, I will let you go, but you know what to say and what not to say."
"Miss, how can we forgive this traitor!" The maid glanced at An Wenli and wanted to kill him with a sword, but then she looked at the young lady who was gradually walking away, so she stomped her feet and shouted, "Miss, wait for me!" Then she hurriedly sheathed her sword and followed.
There was no sound around him anymore, so An Wenli raised his head and slowly stood up.
The mountain breeze made him feel cold all over. Although his back was soaked with cold sweat, he felt inexplicably relieved in his heart.
