The Taishan Empress Temple fell into silence.
The fog has long since dissipated, only the lights in the temple are glowing slightly, and the smoke from the incense burner floats slowly in the air like a thin line, and eventually disappears.
Gong Mengbi stood in front of the statue of Empress Taishan. The empress bowed her head and lowered her eyebrows, seeming to be looking at Gong Mengbi lovingly, with a half-hearted smile on her lips, which made people feel at peace.
Gong Mengbi silently prayed: "Your Majesty, please bless the little fox for a smooth trip."
There were no fruits, fresh vegetables, three animal sacrifices, or even new incense. As long as Gong Mengbi had a sincere heart, many spiritual responses fell invisibly, as if he had been covered with a cloud of clouds.
Gong Mengbi frowned slightly and looked at Empress Taishan, but the icon of the empress did not move or change. Everything remained as usual.
But great courage surged in Gong Mengbi's heart, and the fear and uneasiness in his heart gradually subsided.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Gong Mengbi paid homage to the holy image and left the Taishan Empress Temple.
The empty temple is filled with a delicate fragrance, and amidst the changing smoke and lights, the tall figure and compassionate face of the holy statue of the Empress seem to change accordingly.
Gong Mengbi wrote the letter and arranged everything properly.
Of course, Lanyin Mountain Fox Courtyard is completely entrusted to Huangfu Yuliu and Huangfu Jiaona. They can handle daily events. If there is a problem, they can either go to the city to find Kang Fatty and Xiangjun to make up their minds, or they can go to Jinhua Mountain to ask for help. Taoist priest Xuan Xiao of Daxian Temple and Abbot Huiming of Dafo Temple came to help.
Gong Mengbi had already written a letter in advance. If something unexpected happened, Huangfu Yuliu and Huangfu Jiaona would only need to take the letter to invite someone, and they would definitely not be rejected.
Naturally, the Hupo Huziyuan was still managed by Kang Wen and others. Gong Mengbi wrote to Beilai Immortal again, asking her to take good care of it.
The reasons in the letter were all written to go to Tianhu Academy to practice. Even if someone really investigates Tianhu Academy, the Document Academy and Fairy Qingyao will help cover it up, so there will be no problem.
What's more, Tianhuyuan is in the cave and is governed by the goddess. Any magical divination will be unable to pass in front of the goddess.
Zhu Wenxiu took his two younger brothers Feixing and Jinyi to deliver the message. Gong Mengbi didn't leave any other words, and disappeared into Lanyin Mountain alone, heading for Gusu alone. He didn't take anyone with him, he was alone, and even the skull god was under his care Fu Xin, looking after the children in the forbidden area of Xima Mountain.
As soon as he left Lanyin Temple, he stepped out, and countless snow-white hairs grew on his body. The long white hairs were flying in the air, and five long, fluffy and huge tails spread out like white clouds, showing the image of a demon. .
Although the huge body does not cover the sky and the sun, it is still a giant beast like clouds and fog.
Fox Face turned him into a jade-faced white fox, with five long tails swinging slowly, squinting his slender eyes, revealing a cold and cunning light.
Gong Mengbi's magic power was affected by the jade mask, and it was faintly demonic, which was very different from before.
Gong Mengbi did not feel shackles, but felt like a fish in water, and even had a vague feeling of relief and freedom. This was the demonic nature he had suppressed for a long time.
The path to immortality is upward, while the path to demon is downward. Demons and humans are actually the same, and they depend on it.
Gong Mengbi has been cultivating the immortal way for a long time, so he naturally keeps in mind the immortal duties, restrains his evil thoughts, restrains all kinds of desires, sharpens his Taoist heart, and becomes more mature and more like... a perfect person.
But now that the immortal book has been hidden and the jade face has transformed into a demon, even the desires in his heart seem to have been released.
Gong Mengbi's heart began to throb vaguely. He was surprised by this, and instantly understood that cultivating immortals was not about becoming a perfect person.
At this moment, being ordered to become a demon was not just about investigating demons, it was also part of his spiritual practice.
He stretched out his slender claws and gently touched his face. This demonic jade face has become a part of his spiritual practice.
He lowered his mind to worship the jade face, and after blending it with the Heavenly Dharma, he gradually realized the beauty of the jade face.
The five tails behind him shook at the same time, flying in the air like five giant pythons, showing an extremely powerful momentum.
This is the art of tail strike, the magical power within the jade face.
The five tails swung, and sharp blades like the waning moon flew out from it, shattering the clouds above the sky.
This is the Taiyin Soul-Slaying Sword, and it is also the magical power in the jade face.
As the sacrifice deepened, Gong Mengbi's heart suddenly jumped, "So that's it."
The goddess said that the jade face had some other uses. At this moment, he suddenly understood that the jade face was not a magic weapon, but the practice of a fox fairy.
There are more than ten kinds of magical powers of the jade-faced white fox sealed in it, and even part of the spirit of the fox fairy is sealed.
This is not a mask, but the identity of another fox fairy.
This fox fairy stripped away all his identity and practice as a jade-faced white fox, and finally transformed into this fox-faced one. Gong Mengbi had no idea why the Fox Fairy did this and how he did it.
"If I had known, I would have sacrificed it earlier. Even if I couldn't, I would have asked Fairy Qingyao about the mask."
It was definitely too late now. Gong Mengbi could only keep the problem in mind and wait until later.
The snow-white clouds flew to Suzhou, passing by in a swaying manner under the moonlight.
The moonlight falls among the clouds, exuding a gleaming glow. Soon we arrived at Taihu Lake. When the moon entered the lake, we saw thousands of hectares of cold waves, and the wind and smoke connected with each other, making it extremely majestic.
Taihu Lake is in the west of Suzhou. Before Gong Mengbi entered Gusu, he went to Taihu Lake first.
The peaks and islands in the lake are connected, fish and dragons swim together, and the atmosphere is profound.
Gong Mengbi wants to blend in with the demons, and it is difficult to use any other identity. He can only be a fierce dragon crossing the river, and with his Taoism, he is enough to stir up trouble.
However, when a powerful dragon crosses the border, it first needs to find a place to stay. Taihu Lake is a spiritual place. Looking at the seventy-two peaks of Taihu Lake, the first thing Gong Mengbi fell in love with was Dongting Mountain.
There are Dongting in the east and west, and the peaks in the west Dongting are the highest, connecting Taixu at the top and Fuze at the bottom.
Gong Mengbi then rode the clouds to the west Dongting. The clouds gathered and the jade-faced white fox rushed down towards the Dongting Mountain.
The huge fox head with white beard and white hair was like milk clouds falling from the sky, but as it approached the ground, it kept shrinking, and finally turned into a white smoke, turning into a jade-faced young man with an alienated and arrogant expression, dressed in white clothes, with gold and silver threads. Weave it into a picture of the sun and the moon.
The cloud fell into the Western Mountain and immediately alarmed the Taoist priests in the mountain.
There is Shenjing Palace in Dongting Mountain. The Taoist priests in the palace came to see the clouds falling.
But there was no milky cloud, only a jade-faced young man fell on the ground, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who is the Taoist friend visiting Shenjing Palace?"
The jade-faced young master said: "Oh? So this mountain already has an owner? Is your Shenjing Palace the owner of West Dongting Mountain?"
Seeing that his tone was not kind, the Taoist priest from Shenjing Palace felt suddenly in his heart.
He couldn't tell the depth of the person in front of him, and he couldn't even tell whether he was a human or a ghost, a demon or an immortal. He also didn't know the purpose of this person's question, so he could only vaguely say: "I don't dare to recognize him as the Lord of the Western Mountain, but the divine scene The palace was built on this Western Mountain for hundreds of years."
The jade-faced young master then said: "It would be better if he is not the Lord of West Dongting."
He showed a strange and dangerous smile, "From today on, I am the master of West Dongting Mountain."
