It's cold, but the fox's heart is warm.
Not only the fox who participated in the performance was enthusiastic, but Gong Mengbi's heart was also burning.
After all, this winter solstice performance is called performance, but it should actually be called the Tianhu Academy Wuning County Fox Academy’s pilot half-year teaching results display event.
Although there is still half a year before the formal acceptance of the results, this display is just Gong Mengbi’s own actual evaluation, but after all, the statues of the Taishan Empress and the Jade Fairy Goddess are here, what if they get distracted and take a look?
Therefore, Gong Mengbi mobilized all the foxes before the performance to go all out, perform with style and vigor.
When I actually started to perform the magic, it was actually very boring, because the magic skills learned by these fox charms in the Fox Academy were very superficial, and there were countless overlapping places.
The most common one is of course illusion, but Gong Mengbi is an expert in illusion and can see through it at a glance.
The first fox came forward to demonstrate his illusion. He used illusion to transform into a big ghost with ferocious fangs. From the ghost's cry, it can be seen that it was based on a dog.
This is a trick, using dogs to scare other foxes so that they have no time to detect the flaws in the illusion.
It might be useful when fighting, but it's very clever at this time.
Gong Mengbi did not criticize. He finished reading with a calm expression and said, "If there are any others who are demonstrating illusions, please come up together."
As a result, more than thirty foxes came up at once, all of them performing illusions.
A group of foxes, you look at me and I look at you, you can't help but stick out your tongue and feel embarrassed.
Gong Mengbi comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter. Illusion is a special skill. It should be in line with the practice and must be done carefully. Just show it one by one."
It was lively now, colorful and strange.
Or the images of immortals and gods, or the dancing of demons, or the endless mountains of gold and silver, or the handsome men with jade trees in the wind, or the charming and charming women.
Gong Mengbi looked at them one by one and finally named Kang Yunu as the top one.
The foxes looked around and saw a delicate peony flower stuck on Kang Yunu's temple. Other than that, there was nothing magical about it.
The foxes were puzzled.
Gong Mengbi said: "The purpose of performing illusions is to create something out of nothing and to confuse the real with the false. At the highest level, it is to use the false to cultivate the true, and the false and the real are the same. Look at your own illusions, and then look at Kang Yunu's illusions, and you will understand why I Let her take the lead."
Kang Yunu's illusion is the peony on the temples. It is obviously against the season, but it feels so natural, as if it had just been picked. It has a natural feeling. The other foxes understood and knew why they were defeated.
Kang Yunu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I agree!"
"who is the next?"
Next, there is finally a change, which is the art of driving away objects.
It is still the ingenuity of his mind, the control of pen and ink, the imitation of images in the air, and the painting of Gong Mengbi.
After he finished painting and presented the painting, Gong Mengbi nodded and said: "The changes in the brushstrokes are not enough because you are strong and not sensitive. Go out and see nature more. You don't have to just bury your head." Penance.”
The fox learned the lesson and went down.
The ones that came up later were still small skills such as escaping from the ground and riding the wind, but Gong Mengbi watched them with great interest, and he could tell what progress these foxes had made.
The aura is purer. For example, Kang Yunu, who used to have too much other people's aura, has now become pure and free of any clutter.
The spirit is stronger and sharper, like the little fox painting.
In front of the Taishan Empress and the Jade Fairy Goddess, these little foxes can be regarded as showing what they have learned throughout their lives. It is not as good as those from a wealthy family who have been practicing since childhood, but compared to other foxes in the mountains, it is more than a step ahead. The most important thing is that the aura is getting purer.
Gong Mengbi knew it in his heart.
After the performance was over, Gong Mengbi led them to worship in front of the gods again, thanking Empress Taishan and the Jade Fairy Goddess for their kindness, and expressed that he would work sincerely in the future and not disappoint them.
Empress Taishan's spiritual response was as good as ever, but Gong Mengbi didn't know whether the Jade Fairy Goddess had any feedback.
However, Gong Mengbi had a rough idea in his mind and could start teaching them more subtle and profound things.
Not knowing what kind of results the Jade Fairy Goddess expected him to teach, Gong Mengbi had no choice but to raise the upper and lower limits as much as possible, hoping to satisfy her in the end.
When the performance is over, there is a feast. Gong Mengbi specially brought the fruit wine brewed by Fatty Kang from Mengyue Tower and gave each fox a cup. Even the fox prisoners each got a cup as a holiday benefit.
The afternoon of the second day of the winter solstice.
Suddenly there was a thunder, Gong Mengbi came out from Mengyue Tower to watch, and saw the sun was shining brightly, as usual.
Gong Mengbi's heart skipped a beat and he looked in the direction of the thunder, but he couldn't see anything because it was blocked by the mountains and hills of Longpan Mountain.
"Thunder on the ground, what is this omen?"
Gong Mengbi had no clue, but he soon found out.
Late at night, ghosts and gods knocked on the door.
Gong Mengbi opened the door and saw the frightened Yaksha ghost Xiang Qian, "Brother Xiang, why are you here?"
Xiang Qian looked uneasy and said: "Little Holy Temple...I..."
He tried to organize his words, but in the end he couldn't form a complete sentence.
Gong Mengbi took the moon dew and handed it to him, saying: "Take your time, don't panic."
Xiang Qian picked up the small bottle of moon dew with two fingers and drank it all in one gulp, and the agitation in his body gradually subsided.
With the help of Yuelu's concentration, he smoothed his thoughts and asked solemnly: "Brother Gong, I regard you as a good friend, and you are the fox fairy of Tianhu Academy, so I just want to ask, can I trust you? "
Gong Mengbi said solemnly: "Brother Xiang, trust me, I will not betray your trust."
Xiang Qian said: "Okay, you come with me."
The Yaksha ghost rose up on the wind, rose and fell a few times, and then disappeared into the distance.
Gong Mengbi followed him in the wind, and the two of them landed directly in front of the small holy temple.
Xiang Qian stood in front of the small holy temple but did not open the door. He felt guilty and fearful, as if there was some beast hidden inside.
Gong Mengbi looked at him, and then he calmed down and walked in with Gong Mengbi.
There are two statues in the small holy temple, one is a small holy statue and the other is a Yaksha statue.
The small holy statue is dedicated to an unknown immortal god, and the yaksha is like Xiang Qian's shelter.
But at this moment, the small holy statue that had been empty for a long time without the main god suddenly emitted a divine light invisible to the naked eye.
It is invisible to the naked eye, but in the eyes of ghosts and gods, and in Gong Mengbi's eyes, it is as bright as beads.
Gong Mengbi's sky-reaching method and qi-seeing method allowed him to see more. The incense lingering on the statue was like a thin cloud covering the statue. The escaping mana in the statue turned into flying dragons and disappeared. Without a trace.
Gong Mengbi's heart skipped a beat: Whose master's soul is here?
The next moment, the little holy statue suddenly opened its eyes, looked at Yaksha Ghost and Gong Mengbi, and said, "Who is spying on me?"
Gong Mengbi and Yaksha Ghost took three steps back as if struck by lightning.
The statue looked at the Yaksha ghost and sighed: "It turns out it's you... you used my name to guard the temple. I didn't want to pay attention to it, but I didn't expect that I still escaped with my life by relying on this little incense."
"Are you the Little Saint?" Yasha Ghost asked in shock, his face turning red for a moment.
It was like being discovered by the real owner as an imposter. Such embarrassment made Yaksha so embarrassed that he wanted to run away. But he is a very principled Yaksha ghost and will not run away.
The little saint smiled bitterly: "Little Saint... I don't have this name. I only have a Taoist name, called Fire Dragon."
