Huaiyi invited Gong Mengbi into Fuji Temple, and Huaizhong also came out of the Emperor's Palace.
The last time we met, I thought the two were still young, but within two years, they felt like they had suddenly grown up.
One of the two young Taoist priests is calmer and the other is more clever. The older man took over the role of Master Liu and had to arm himself with a serious smile in order to be convincing. The younger one needs to be more clever in dealing with things, cheer for the senior brother, and play the drums, and then the Fuji Temple can be saved.
If the two boys hadn't been too slack in their practice before, I'm afraid they would have had no choice but to abandon Fuji Temple and go wandering.
The two boys looked at Gong Mengbi. This was the first time they saw Gong Mengbi's true face. They looked at Gong Mengbi and then at Master Liu. Huaiyi couldn't help but wonder: "Master, you look so ugly." Damn, where did you recognize such a charming and talented old friend?"
Master Liu was lying on a chair basking in the sun. Hearing this, he was so angry that he picked up the magic sword at hand and killed the unfilial disciple, "Traitor! How dare you slander your master!"
Huaiyi ran around Huaizhong and said, "Master, don't be angry. I'm just outspoken. Don't be angry!" As he spoke, he laughed and slipped into the backyard.
Master Liu caught his breath after two steps and cursed a brat. Huaizhong supported him and borrowed the donkey from the slope, scolding him: "I was very romantic when I was young! You ungrateful brat, if it weren't for I brought you up, and now I’m still flirtatious!”
Huaizhong blushed and suppressed his laughter. He helped Master Liu sit on a chair and said, "Master, the guest is here. Don't be as knowledgeable as him. I will teach him a lesson."
With that said, he quickly walked into the backyard, and soon the two people's snickering came from the backyard.
Master Liu's face turned red with anger. But Gong Mengbi was in front of him and he couldn't make him laugh. He could only pretend that nothing happened and said with a bit of resentment: "Why are you here?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I'm here to apologize."
Seeing that his hands were empty, Master Liu glanced behind him and said unhappily: "Forgive me. Although you have made me unable to return home, you have also saved my life. Why do you need to apologize?"
Gong Mengbi rubbed it from his sleeves, took out a wooden box, held it in both hands and handed it to Master Liu, saying: "That's not what you said. I am asking for help from Master, and I rely on Master Liu a lot."
Master Liu's face immediately looked much better. He reached out to pick up the wooden box, but his hand sank and he almost didn't hold it.
He quickly used some strength to hold the wooden box steady, and pretended not to care: "What's the matter? They are all members of the same Taoist movement. They are exterminating demons and defending the Tao. How can I stay out of it?"
While talking, he secretly opened a gap in the wooden box, and a golden light shone from the gap, making people's hearts brighten.
Master Liu coughed loudly, carefully placed the wooden box on the table, and shouted loudly: "We are loyal and righteous, you two little bastards. Don't you know how to make a pot of good tea to entertain the distinguished guests?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and responded to Master Liu's invitation and sat across from him.
After the two young apprentices came to serve tea, he introduced them: "This is Mengbi from the Fox Immortal Palace of Tianhuyuan. Please call me uncle."
Huaizhong Huaiyi listened to Master Liu's tone and called his uncle seriously.
Gong Mengbi took out a handful of wax pills from his sleeve, stuffed a handful into each of them like sugar pills, and said, "Little ones, treat them as a meeting gift."
Huaizhong and Huaiyi put it away with a smile on their faces. Huaiyi had doubts in his heart and said suspiciously: "Uncle Master is the Sky Fox?"
Gong Mengbi said: "If you have never ascended to heaven, you are still not a celestial fox."
Even so, it was novel enough. Huaiyi inevitably had some inquiring eyes and glanced behind Gong Mengbi, as if he wanted to find where his tail was.
Huaizhong blocked him and then kicked his calf. He then apologized to Gong Mengbi: "Uncle, I have never seen the Fox Fairy before, please forgive me."
Gong Mengbi waved his hand and asked them to take their seats.
Master Liu told them the reason why he had faked his death in the past few years, and then they realized that there was such a dispute.
Gong Mengbi corrected him: "You are not faking your death, you are really dead."
Now it was Master Liu's turn to be startled and said: "I only remember that after I woke up, I lived in a village as a guest of the master's family. I enjoyed happiness for several years until Su Shangxian took me away. How could I Really dead?"
Gong Mengbi said: "If you are not really dead, how can you hide it from Wutong's discernment? The place where you enjoy your blessings is the Guyuan, which is specially designed to take in widows and orphans who have no sacrifices. Originally, I wanted to let you spend some time in Haoli, but The chief magistrate of the Yue Mansion said that if time goes by, you may discover strange phenomena and call out the flaws. If the spell is broken, it will not be easy to return to the sun. Then he asked to go to Guyuan, which is a place to comfort the souls of the dead, and it is not easy for people to return to the sun. aware."
Master Liu shivered and groped around on his body, asking, "Am I still alive? My body won't rot, right?"
Gong Mengbi laughed: "Are you afraid now? The body is in suspended animation, but it is the method of turtle breathing. A mouthful of essence will last forever, neither rot nor bad, but it will prolong life."
Master Liu breathed a long sigh of relief and intended to complain, but when he looked at the wooden box in front of him, most of his complaints disappeared.
"Master, you are now a legend who has come back from the dead." Huaiyi marveled and said, "The day you came back, you scared me and Huaizhong."
Master Liu glared at them and said, "You can't even recognize me, and you want to tie me up to worship the emperor?"
Huaizhong said: "We thought it was a painted-skinned ghost or a corpse demon."
Huaizhong said: "The door of Fuji Temple has been closed these days. I just don't know what to do. If people find out that my master has come back from the dead, a lot of trouble will inevitably arise. But closing the door is not a long-term solution. Uncle Master, you Any good ideas?"
"Resurrection from the dead is a strange story after all. Rather, it is better to say that the soul was summoned by the emperor and attended the emperor's dojo for several years before returning now." Gong Mengbi suggested.
Huaizhong hesitated and said, "Can anyone believe this?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "What does it matter if it is true or false? With the emperor's blessing, let alone fake death, there is nothing unusual about being resurrected from the dead."
Huaizhong Huaiyi looked at each other, then looked at Master Liu and asked, "Master, what do you think?"
Master Liu shook his body and said: "At my age, why should I be asked to wander around the world incognito? The emperor is above me, but I still want to forgive my disciple's rudeness."
Since Master Liu agrees, there is nothing difficult.
Master Liu is truly favored by the emperor. Even if there are difficulties, he can eventually turn danger into disaster.
If they really encounter any trouble, Gong Mengbi left Master Liu a token of his own - a fox magic card imprinted with Gong Mengbi's magic power, telling them that if they ever encounter any danger, they can go to him for help.
Burning incense and praying, you will naturally know it.
After sending Gong Mengbi away, Huaiyi looked at the magic tablet and asked doubtfully: "Isn't this Tianhu?"
