Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 125 Appointed New God
The two old friends Gong Mengbi wanted to visit were Daoist Yao from Taiqing Temple and Chan Master Faming from Huaguang Temple.

In the eyes of these two, Gong Mengbi is certainly not an old friend.But in Gong Mengbi's eyes, it is true that he has admired his great name and had a good relationship with him for a long time.

When he was cultivating in the county, he heard many stories about these two.

It was still early, so Gong Mengbi came to visit with the five ghosts and gods.

First, I went to Taiqing Temple and handed in the greeting card. After a while, Daoist Yao greeted me personally.

"Why is Fox Fairy free to come to my place today?" Daoist Yao invited him in, chatting while walking.

Gong Mengbi took a small basket from Huang Changxia, handed the bamboo basket to Daoist Yao, and said, "I love the moonlight and the clear dew of the moon. I often pick it, and I have a lot left. I think of you and Zen Master Faming, two fellow Taoists." , came to visit."

Daoist Yao took the bamboo basket, and before touching the porcelain vase filled with Moon Dew, he already felt a cold breath.

It was a hot day in July, although the residual heat did not dissipate, but as soon as the cold air was stimulated, there was a feeling of autumn coming.

Daoist Yao said with a smile: "The last time we visited, we left empty-handed. Now you come to give gifts when you come to the door, which makes the old Daoist feel ashamed."

Gong Mengbi laughed: "They are all neighbors on the left and right, so you have to move around frequently."

There are many pilgrims coming and going to Taiqing Temple, but it is not a pure place. Huaguang Temple is actually the same. Taoist Yao suggested to go to Shuangye Pavilion with a good view.

Gong Mengbi doesn't mean to be drunk, it's the same wherever he goes.

Then he invited Zen master Faming to Shuangye Pavilion to taste tea and talk about Taoism. They drank tea made from moon dew, served with a few refreshments, and passed the time with the beautiful scenery of Shuangye Pavilion.

Yao Daozhang said: "It's not yet autumn, and the Shuangye Pavilion has not yet reached its most beautiful time."

Gong Mengbi said: "Now the green shade is like clouds, and the mountain flowers are blooming, it is already extremely beautiful."

"When it comes to autumn, the red leaves are covered with frost, like a fire, and the mountains and rivers are red, which is an extremely rare beauty." Chan Master Faming sipped tea with a smile, and said, "At that time, let's get together again."

Gong Mengbi also smiled, and said: "Okay. Fortunately, after the flood, the relief was done properly, and the fertile land was recultivated, so there is such peace."

Speaking of the flood, the two also had a lot of emotion.

Even if the City God didn't kill people, the population of Wuning County is much smaller now.

Gong Mengbi said inadvertently: "Thanks to the hard work of the two of you, extradition of dead souls, elimination of disasters, and peace of Yin and Yang."

Daoist Yao waved his hands again and again: "Little friend, it's really embarrassing to say that."

Zen Master Faming said: "It's all about duty, how can we turn a blind eye to it? Tiredness is a bit tiring, but I am willing to accumulate good deeds. But now it's better, the new City God has taken office, and we need to reorganize Yin and Yang, so we don't need to bother."

Gong Mengbi was surprised and said: "Oh? So the new city god has already taken office? I don't know which god it is?"

Taoist Yao said: "I only heard that he was a hero in the founding of the country, and he was sacrificed by incense. Now he fills in the vacancy and is the city god of Wuning County."

Gong Mengbi was really taken aback at this moment: "Succeeded in the founding of the country and became a city god in our little Wuning County? Isn't it too condescending?"

Zen Master Faming laughed: "Where is the founding general you think of, maybe a young general, an assistant minister, or a member of the army. The founding general will either go to heaven to be an official or enter the earth to be an official, and he will be a city god. Why? It must be the City God of the state to be worthy of it."

Gong Mengbi laughed: "I've lived in the mountains for a long time, and I'm ignorant, so I don't know about such things. I haven't even paid a visit to the new City God when he took office."

Taoist Yao said: "I just took office today, even if you go, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to receive you."

Chan Master Faming said: "We will go together in a few days. After all, the righteous god is in charge, so we must not lose our manners."

Gong Mengbi said happily: "Well, then I, the wild fox, will still be honored by you."

"You are a fox fairy, why do you have to make fun of us?" Daoist Yao shook his head with a smile while twisting his beard.

Gong Mengbi asked again: "The City God has just taken office, did the county magistrate ever take office?"

Daoist Yao said: "Okay, I think your visit today is fake, and the news is true."

Gong Mengbi said with a smile: "Who told you to live in the city, I live in the country."

Zen Master Faming shook his head: "Slippery, slick."

That being said, neither of them actually cared.

Yao Daozhang said: "The county magistrate took office earlier. After the imperial envoy came to relieve the disaster, the new county magistrate came. He maintained a benevolent government as soon as he came up. I heard that he was a good official recommended by King Wu."

Gong Mengbi laughed: "It's good to be a good official. The people's livelihood is in decline and all industries are waiting to be prosperous. It's not a good official. I'm afraid the people will be sad."

How much emotion for a while.

After inquiring about the news, Gong Mengbi did not leave. After all, tool people also need to take good care of them. If they are annoyed, they will not work well next time.

Or accompany Yao Daochang and Faming Zen Master to talk about Buddhism and Taoism, talk about what they have seen and heard, and their understanding of practice.

Gong Mengbi's cultivation in the animal body is different from that of human beings, but they reflect each other, and it seems that different routes lead to the same goal.

They also agreed to visit the City God together three days later, and they parted.

Three days later, Gong Mengbi came as promised, and the three of them visited the Town God's Temple together.

It is not easy to come during the day, but it is night when you come.

It turns out that the ruins of the Town God's Temple have been rebuilt. This time, the reconstruction is much simpler and far less luxurious than before.

In fact, the incense in the Town God's Temple is not as good as before. After the good deeds of the previous City God, it is far from easy to restore the hearts of the people.

But Gong Mengbi and the others still gave them basic respect, and they didn't act overbearing just because they are small now.

When they arrived, the gatekeeper went to report immediately, and the city god brought the civil and military judges to pick them up in person.

The previous judge still had three divisions and six judgments. In this term, there are only Yin and Yang divisions and one division of civil and military affairs.

"It turns out that a master of Taoism has come, and the scorpion is shining." The city god greeted them with a smile, and invited the three of them into the temple.

The City God's Domain re-established at the junction of Yin and Yang is not as large and luxurious as before, with majestic palaces, only one courtyard, and several deep houses.

The City God smiled and said, "Daoist Yao from Taiqing Temple and Zen Master Faming from Huaguang Temple, am I mistaken?"

Taoist Yao said, "It's me who is waiting."

The City God looked at Gong Mengbi, was startled, and then asked: "Who is this fairy friend? Forgive my poor eyesight, I never saw it."

Gong Mengbi said: "Gong Mengbi, a student of Tianhu Institute, now governs the foxes in Wuning County, is just a little mountain demon."

Gong Mengbi is so self-effacing, but the City God dare not underestimate him. The students of Tianhu Academy are serious practitioners, so they can't be called mountain demons.

"It turned out to be Gong Xianyou." The City God invited the three of them to sit down, and said: "My mansion is a new start-up, and it is very poor, but it made the three of you laugh."

Gong Mengbi said: "Where, Lord Chenghuang was busy sorting out Yin and Yang as soon as he took office, but the three of us are bothering you."

The God of City God said with emotion: "If it wasn't for the last one... just don't mention him. Now I'm starting everything from the beginning, and it's even more difficult. Even the little devil who guards the door is recruited temporarily. If it wasn't for the two villains who surrendered on the way Ghost, I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing to pretend to be a civil and military judge of Yin Yang Division."

　It’s done today. If it’s still a live broadcast of codewords tomorrow, some people may be more efficient if they watch it.
