This thorny matter has nothing to do with Princess Lingyi herself, but it can indeed be settled only by members of the Lingyi family.
Princess Lingyi looked serious and said, "Let's talk and listen."
Gong Mengbi said: "I have a good friend who was traveling in Suzhou and told me an interesting story."
"The water of Wu Di has been cut off from all gods and is completely occupied by demons and demons. However, the Taihu Water God has closed his house and closed the lake, completely escaping from the world, causing the water spirit to be cut off and the wind and rain to be unrest. What's more, it is rumored that the Taihu Water God is colluding. The demons, greedy for incense, sit back and watch the demons and evil gods control the water veins, making the world unrest and no one can cure it."
"The water god has violated the moral principles of the gods. He has deceived heaven and killed the people below. Although I am staying out of the matter, I cannot remain indifferent."
Princess Lingyi looked at him carefully and said, "Liar."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Where did I lie?"
Princess Lingyi said: "I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with you, but has a lot to do with you."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "It really has nothing to do with me."
It's just that he has a close relationship with Yue Mansion, Tianhu Courtyard, Wu Ning's foxes, and innocent people, so he is also involved in countless catastrophes, and he is inseparable.
Princess Lingyi looked like you could say whatever you want, but I wouldn’t believe it anyway.
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to say: "Okay, it does have something to do with me."
Princess Lingyi was satisfied and said: "Although I succeeded to the position of Qiantang Water God, I am not a father after all, so I dare not call you Qiantang Lord. If you come to me, I can't help you."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "No, you can definitely help me."
Princess Lingyi looked into his eyes, and suddenly she felt so happy that she smiled and said: "Okay, so you want to use me as a raft."
Gong Mengbi said: "This matter really must be done by senior sister."
Princess Lingyi let out a "hmph" in her nose and said, "If I have to do anything, anyone in my family can do it."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said nothing.
Princess Lingyi thought deeply and slowly stroked Yu Gong's horns. She sighed softly and said, "You are right. This matter really has little to do with you, but more to do with me."
"I am not the Dragon Lord, and I cannot overstep my authority. But I just took over Qiantang, and it is not convenient for me to leave. You go find Ba Ge."
Princess Lingyi took Gong Mengbi back to Qiantang Dragon Palace, compiled a letter, stamped it with the divine seal, handed it to Gong Mengbi and said, "Bago is in Lingyin Temple. Go find him and let him take you there."
Gong Mengbi thanked Princess Lingyi and then went to West Lake.
When he arrived at the bank of the West Lake, Gong Mengbi stopped at the river bank and looked from a distance. He saw that Wansong Academy was in a state of decline. It seemed that it had become a forbidden area and no one was inhabited.
In the residences by the West Lake, the presence of the two little devils of the Shen family was no longer visible.
In just a few years, things have changed and people have changed.
The last time he came, Gong Mengbi met old friends at Wansong Academy and listened to the lectures of the great scholar Liu Nangong. But now, there is nothing left, only the ruins of the ruins and the smoke that has not dissipated from the fire.
Gong Mengbi didn't know what was going on here, but he thought someone knew.
He squeezed the seal with his hand and called silently.
Soon, a green ghost came to the West Lake holding an umbrella. It had the body of a fox and a long tail dragging the ground. When it saw Gong Mengbi, it worshiped: "I have seen the fox fairy."
Gong Mengbi said: "Get up."
Gong Mengbi asked her about the affairs of Wansong Academy, and the fox ghost told her: "It happened a month ago. King Wu came from the Eastern Expedition. The governor of Yuhang surrendered and helped King Wu suppress the people. Those students He had a strong temper, took the lead in making troubles, and wrote articles to scold officials, but the county guard raised troops to suppress him."
Wansong Academy was besieged by officers and soldiers, and only a few people survived.
When he mentioned this incident, the fox ghost was still frightened and said: "That day, a fire broke out in Wansong Academy, and the sky turned red."
Those students were all imprisoned. Some of them were local officials and gentry, and they spent money to redeem them and lock them up in their homes. Some of them are still in jail and have not been released. Some were pushed out to kill chickens as a warning to monkeys, some died on the execution ground, and some were rescued by the robbery execution ground.
The commotion was so great that even various local families in Yuhang suffered disaster.
The fox ghost felt very good, and knew what Gong Mengbi wanted to ask, and said: "The two young masters of the Shen family were rescued by someone who robbed the execution ground. I heard that he was a strange person. A burst of light came and went, and the two young masters were swept away. gone."
As for other things, the fox ghost couldn't tell more.
She once stole incense from the palace and had a certain fate with the second son of the Shen family. Although Gong Mengbi did not allow her to get close to the second son of the Shen family, how could Fox with such a temperament easily give up an opportunistic opportunity? Naturally, I watched secretly and made inquiries from time to time.
No, it came in handy today.
Gong Mengbi also knew about this incident and called her to ask questions. Of course, he would not embarrass her. He gave her a piece of fragrant medicine and sent her away.
What happened a month ago, I'm afraid the two little bastards of the Shen family are still on the way to escape.
Gong Mengbi had a deep connection with them, so he naturally knew that they were living well, but they certainly suffered a lot.
The big waves wash over the sand, and if they are washed and washed, the light will begin to shine. Gong Mengbi is secretly looking forward to that day, but he has no time to pay attention to them at the moment.
Gong Mengbi went to Lingyin Temple to find His Highness Hanzhang.
The incense in Lingyin Temple was like clouds, layer after layer. Gong Mengbi looked for the monk who knew the guest, and asked the monk to explain it on his behalf.
His Highness Hanzhang was discussing scriptures with the abbot of Lingyin Temple. When the guest monk arrived, thirteen scriptures were opened in front of His Highness Hanzhang, making a clattering sound.
The abbot knocked on the wooden fish with a sad look on his face.
Hearing that the guests were coming, Hanzhang showed doubts and let the scriptures fall to the ground. The abbot finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since someone has come to look for His Highness, let's discuss it another day and don't delay the business."
His Highness Hanzhang said: "I will come back as soon as I go. Abbot, I will wait for you."
Without waiting for the abbot to speak, he rolled up his sleeves and went out.
The abbot wiped his sweat and quickly called to the monks on the left and right, saying: "Hide the scripture quickly and don't let him find it again."
But after a while, the guest monk came with good news.
"Abbot, His Highness Hanzhang left with the guests. He said he was going out for a trip. His return date has not yet been determined. He will discuss matters with the abbot when he returns."
The abbot exhaled a deep breath, his chest seemed to have collapsed, and he said in a weak tone: "I finally left, my Buddha is merciful!"
His Highness Hanzhang naturally did not know that the old monk of Lingyin Temple had been tortured and frightened by him.
He was smiling and flying in the wind with Gong Mengbi, very happy.
Gong Mengbi asked: "Senior brother, what can you gain from talking about scriptures and Taoism?"
His Highness Hanzhang shook his head and said: "The old monk is willing to talk about Taoism, but when he talks about practice, he starts to practice closed-mouth meditation."
Gong Mengbi said: "Of course I won't give you the training of Lingyin Temple lightly."
Hanzhang said: "I already told you that you can become a monk under Lingyin Temple."
Gong Mengbi said: "You dare to worship, but he dare not accept."
Others don't know the details of the Qiantang Water God, but Lingyin Temple is nearby, so they have heard about it.
I'm afraid that if His Highness Hanzhang is ordained today, thunder from the heavenly dragon will strike down the main hall tomorrow.
Old Long is gone, but he still has many sons.
