From the rainy season to the crisp autumn air, the foxes have successively learned four spells: the art of controlling fire, the art of hating victory, the art of summoning ghosts, and the art of flying needles. Coupled with the various Taoist techniques they have learned before, they have been quite effective.
The art of controlling fire and the art of flying needles are frontal attacks, while the art of hating victory and the art of summoning ghosts are long-range arrangements, which are almost enough to deal with ordinary situations.
In order to facilitate their practice, Gong Mengbi's small golden furnace was often placed on the altar for them to practice fire techniques.
He also asked Yu He to teach the method of summoning ghosts. The core is that foxes can communicate with ghosts, so they can use the magical power of Mount Tai to drive ghosts. Gong Mengbi himself has the Taishan talisman, which can grant certain blessings, but he will be responsible after the blessing is applied to the fox. If the fox uses the power of Mount Tai to drive ghosts and gods to do evil, he will be held accountable together with Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi still dares to take on this responsibility. The students he teaches naturally know what steps they can take.
The Technique of Weary of Victory is suppressed by curses, using the Yin Technique that leads to the netherworld. Gong Mengbi knows many techniques of Weary of Victory himself, and he also practices them together, combines them with the Taiyin Technique, and turns it into the Taiyin God-killing Technique. As long as a person's Qi is taken away, he can use the Taiyin to cast spells to suppress the soul and seize life.
Gong Mengbi now has too many methods, so the Taiyin God-killing Technique is rarely used, and he teaches it to the foxes without reservation.
The flying needle technique was taught by the Great Immortal from the North, and it is one of the golden techniques she is best at. There is no need to rely on anything else, you just need to refine the gold energy into the hair to turn it into flying needles.
Because of its small size, it can hurt people invisible.
Gong Mengbi remembered that Granny Shi had three thousand white hair needles and gave each of the five juniors six hundred needles, which were made from the white hair on her body. Gong Mengbi also specially borrowed a pekoe needle to understand the Taoism in it, and thus gained more understanding of the flying needle technique.
He is now learning and selling, and it is not difficult to add the flying needle technique. He can learn it quickly and can guide foxes in their practice.
After so much hard work, I can finally see the progress of the foxes.
On August 15th, Gong Mengbi hosted a grand ceremony and invited the city god, Taoist priest Yao and Zen master Faming to watch the ceremony.
This grand sacrifice is mainly dedicated to the Taishan Empress, the Moon God, the Taishan Mansion King, and the gods of the ten directions. Songs, dances, flowers, wine, food, lights, and cigarettes are used to worship the gods, hoping that the gods can protect all the foxes. Son, let everything go well for them.
Gong Mengbi personally performed this grand sacrificial ceremony, singing and dancing to entertain the gods, and playing the harp to please the heart. The entire Fox Courtyard was transformed into a dojo, shining with the light of the full moon.
The foxes sang and danced around the statue with reverence.
Originally, as bystanders, Qu Chenghuang, Taoist Master Yao and Zen Master Faming should stay outside and watch the sacrifice from an appreciative perspective.
But after the sacrifice began, Gong Mengbi's every move had already become a Taoist method. It was the method of fox sacrifice that he had perfected.
The method of fox sacrifice enveloped the entire fox courtyard. With the cooperation of the foxes, there seemed to be invisible sky foxes wagging their tails in the smoke, and there seemed to be countless little foxes laughing on the treetops on the roof and under the tables in front of the porch.
Bystanders cannot become bystanders, but are caught up in the fox sacrifice and become part of the sacrifice.
They laughed and watched the fox singing and dancing, as if they had transformed into gods, feeling happy for the sacrifice in front of them.
The foxes feel the same way. On the one hand, they are foxes offering sacrifices to the gods, and on the other hand, they are the gods who enjoy the sacrifices.
The one who sacrifices is a fox, and the one who receives the sacrifice is a fox.
The method of fox sacrifice is to sacrifice to the God in the sky and to the God in the heart.
Empress Taishan is in charge of the ceremony, and Gong Mengbi borrows her spirit to invite the spirits of the gods from ten directions to bless the foxes.
After a grand sacrifice, the foxes fell down on the ground one by one and slept into fox dumplings. Even the Great Immortal from the North looked as if he was drunk, showing a relaxed and happy expression.
The three guests who were watching the ceremony were feeling dizzy and had already been sent away by Gong Mengbi. Seeing Gong Mengbi come back, the Great Immortal from the North said: "It's really hard for you to worry about it. Gods from all over the world have been invited, and even the Empress of Mount Tai is here to take charge. It must have taken a lot of effort.”
Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, what I gain is far more than what I paid for. Sacrifice to the gods is also a sacrifice to my gods, and I am happy in my heart."
The Great Immortal from the North smiled slowly. She looked at the moonlight and said, "I will leave you to enjoy such a beautiful moonlight."
Gong Mengbi said: "Walk slowly."
The Great Immortal from the North waved his hand and turned into a streak of fire and flew up.
Gong Mengbi watched her go away, then paid homage to Empress Taishan. He looked at the sleeping fox and smiled happily.
When they woke up the next day, the foxes felt refreshed and full of energy. When they used the method of nourishing their spirits, they found that their spirits had grown stronger.
With the blessings of the gods, there is a sense of transparency that everything is at hand and under control.
After the three guests woke up, they recalled the sacrifice last night and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of this sacrifice and Gong Mengbi's magical power.
And the foxes they saw had pure auras and upright spirits, completely different from the evil and evil ones, which made them let go of many worries.
After the grand ceremony, Gong Mengbi and Beilai Daxian answered their questions, led them to review the past and learn the new, and go through the Nine Dharma again.
In September, these foxes were divided into three batches and sent to various places in Wuning County for training.
Among them, those who were most proficient in writing, sensitive, eager to learn, and kind-hearted were assigned to Taoist priest Yao and Zen master Faming.
Some of the remaining foxes entered the Chenghuang Temple to work with Li Dayun, and some received letters of recommendation from Quchenghuang and defected to the local gods in Wuning County.
There were only a handful of foxes who went to Taoist Yao and Zen Master Faming, three each. Five went to the Chenghuang Temple. The rest of the foxes went to the vast countryside.
From September to November, they have to practice in various places, helping the social gods to manage a place, helping the city gods to straighten the yin and yang, and helping the monks and Taoists to do good and accumulate virtue.
Until the twelfth lunar month, they will return to Huziyuan to prepare for the annual exam of Tianhuyuan. If he can be admitted to Tianhu Academy, he and Gong Mengbi will become classmates from teacher and student.
After sending all the foxes away, there was a lot less excitement in the fox courtyard. The first group of foxes that Gong Mengbi brought with him had put the most effort into them, and now that he had to send them away, he felt quite emotional.
But I can't get much leisure, after all, one group has left, and there are two more groups. Next year, the next batch of foxes will graduate again, and there will be many things to worry about.
Nowadays, free time is rare, but I can finally live my own life.
Gong Mengbi did not go to Fox Slope for three days in a row, and the five ghosts and gods were sent by the Great Immortal from the North to ask him what he was doing.
Why did Gong Mengbi, the dean of the Fox Courtyard, not show his face? Why did the Great Immortal from the North need to take the trouble to watch.
