The group of foxes were shocked, and for a moment they felt a lot of fear and hesitation.
Foxes are born with a lot of wisdom, are the easiest to enlighten, are cunning by nature, and are constantly clever.
But great wisdom requires long-term experience and formal teaching, which is filled with vision and experience.
Gong Mengbi said: "Some of you may have doubts, thinking that I don't care about the feelings of my fellow clan."
"But whether you are cultivating an immortal or being a human being, the first thing is to cultivate your heart. If your heart is not right, you can't do anything, and if your actions are not right, you can't be a good person."
"If cultivating immortals is to refine one's magic power, then can one's life be short enough to outlast divine turtles and mountains? But among today's immortals, how many are divine turtles and how many are mountains?"
"The short life of a fox is not as good as that of a human being. If you still can't have a correct mind and right thoughts, you will just wallow in the quagmire for the rest of your life."
"Heaven and earth are our parents. The way of heaven is benevolent. How can we, foxes, go beyond the way of heaven and regard all living beings as ants?"
Gong Mengbi looked at the group of foxes and said, "I hope you can understand that committing crimes and indulging in desires may bring temporary happiness, but when retribution comes, don't blame the strict laws and the lack of moral integrity."
The fox group gradually became quiet. Regardless of whether they were persuaded by Gong Mengbi or not, at least it seemed that they had no objection and did not leave because of this.
The bonfire in front of the altar was burning brightly, shining on Gong Mengbi's face, intertwining light and shadow.
But after such an incident, in the eyes of the foxes, his unparalleled demeanor became somewhat cold and sharp.
Gong Mengbi said: "I summoned you here with the fox talisman. There are two things to do. The first thing is to clarify the canonical punishment and eliminate the fox demon. But there are not many of you here. One hundred and fifty-six foxes, Only half of them have come. Only five sin foxes have come, one is hiding among you, and the rest are hiding in the woods."
Immediately there were shadows fleeing quickly in the forest.
But in an instant, the five ghosts and gods chased them into the forest, pulled them out, and threw them in front of the bonfire.
The four guilty foxes trembled and said: "Spare your life!"
Gong Mengbi said: "Kang Wen, come up and recognize me."
Kang Wen immediately came over to identify: "Fox Club, these four are in a group. They cooperate with each other to build a garden to confuse men and women and steal their essence. People whose essence is stolen by them often become seriously ill and cannot survive. If you get over it, you will die, if you get over it, you will be weak and sickly from now on.”
Gong Mengbi asked: "Do you plead guilty?"
These four sinful foxes have seen the consequences of not pleading guilty. They kowtowed repeatedly and said: "We confess our sins and are willing to repent. Please forgive our lives."
Gong Mengbi said: "I intend to kill you, but too much blood will be shed tonight."
Gong Mengbi said: "Since you have pleaded guilty, you must accept the punishment. First, you must find the men and women who stole the essence in the past, admit your mistakes and make amends. If someone died because of you, compensate your family. Second, you must act as a sinner. Prisoners, when will you be punished and serve your purpose, then you will be released."
The four guilty foxes looked at each other cryptically and said quickly: "We are willing to be punished."
How could their little moves be hidden from Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi sneered, stretched out his hand to grab, and they rolled on the ground holding their heads.
Gong Mengbi grabbed part of their souls, put them in his sleeves, and said, "Who can you hide your little thoughts from? I say I want to cure you, but I can let you run away?"
Sinhu's face was as pale as earth, and he was pushed aside by Kang Wen, crying silently.
Gong Mengbi said: "There are still twenty-six evil foxes that have not come, so I will catch them myself."
"Where are the five ghosts?" Gong Mengbi shouted.
The five ghosts floated closer and said: "The five ghosts are here."
"Catch all the guilty foxes that didn't come," Gong Mengbi said.
One by one, the straw men fell from Gong Mengbi's sleeves, lined up as soldiers, and turned into warriors with fox heads and bodies.
The five ghosts each led five straw man fox warriors, and for a while they felt like they were strong.
The five ghosts led their troops through the fox group and disappeared in front of the altar.
These poor foxes have been through so much tonight. From fear to numbness, it is only one step away.
Gong Mengbi lowered his eyes and said: "The first thing is to clarify the canonical punishment and deal with the guilty fox. The second thing is to establish the Fox Academy and invite the teacher to teach you."
This time, the interest of the foxes was rekindled.
"Master Huhui, I wonder what the Fox Academy teaches?" the white-footed fox asked immediately.
why is it you again?
The foxes looked over and felt that this fox was very good at sneaking into the camp.
Gong Mengbi said: "There are currently two subjects. One is literacy, which teaches you how to read and behave. The other is knowledge, which teaches you the principles of cultivation."
"I've hired two talented men to teach you the liberal arts department. I'll take the lead in the moral education department for now, and I'll wait until I find a suitable teacher."
Kang Yunu immediately stood up and asked, "I don't know how to enter the Fox Courtyard?"
The white-footed fox half stood up and then sat down angrily. Unexpectedly, Kang Yunu took the lead.
Gong Mengbi said: "It's up to you whether you come or not. There is no threshold for admission. You can come if you want. But after you come, you must abide by the rules, otherwise you will be punished. Don't say I didn't warn you in advance."
The white-footed fox caught the opportunity: "Sir, please allow me to enter the school!"
The foxes echoed: "I want to go to school too!"
Gong Mengbi said: "Don't make any noise."
The fox who was raising the mood fell silent.
"Teaching will begin in three months when the Fox Courtyard is completed. You can come here after the Fox Courtyard is completed. But I hope you will think clearly about whether you want to come or not. Don't shout about enrolling today and then refuse to concentrate."
"It's easy to get into school, but it's not easy to succeed."
The foxes were thinking secretly, whispering to each other, and chirping.
Gong Mengbi said: "I have said everything that needs to be said. Come, follow me to worship the Taishan Empress and the Jade Fairy Goddess."
The foxes were in awe.
Regardless of whether they agree with Gong Mengbi's fox association or not, it is natural for the foxes to awe the Empress of Mount Tai.
Gong Mengbi stood in front of the altar, and a group of foxes stood behind him, forming several rows.
Even the four criminal foxes who were taken as prisoners stood behind the fox group and did not dare to be disrespectful.
Gong Mengbi led the worship and said: "The Empress of Mount Tai is on top, the Jade Fairy and the Goddess are on top. My brother Gong Mengbi is leading the fox people in Wuning County to worship here. I hope that the Empress and the Goddess will bless the fox clan to prosper and have long-lasting blessings."
"I hope the Empress and the Goddess will bless the Fox clan with prosperity and long-lasting blessings."
For a while, the fox croaked continuously, long and short, like birds singing in a secluded forest or ghosts singing in a barren grave.
Under the leadership of Gong Mengbi, after worshiping the Taishan Empress and the Jade Fairy Goddess, the atmosphere of the fox group immediately changed.
The fox demons are channeling spirits, and they each work for a living, or have relationships, but they only have a superficial relationship, because the foxes are also in a competitive relationship with each other.
Like wandering soldiers, they have nothing to do with each other.
But after worshiping together, an invisible cohesion naturally develops, and there is an atmosphere of gathering together as a group and sharing the same breath.
Gong Mengbi lowered his eyes slightly, smiling a little.
This was what he had expected.
"The ceremony is over."
Gong Mengbi turned around and said: "The rest of the matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to stay and watch the execution, you can stay. If you don't want to stay and watch the punishment, you can leave."
"This time I summoned a group of foxes, but only half of them came, so I won't hold them accountable. You can communicate with each other. As long as you don't violate the fox laws, you will live in peace in the future. If you do something wrong, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
