Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 134 Winter Solstice Rehearsal
The stars move, the sun and the moon are like shuttles.

In a blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder and colder, from autumn to winter, it is bitter cold.

It was a tough year, with summer floods decimating agriculture in the south and drought in the north.

This is not difficult to understand, the dragon of water vapor that was supposed to travel north was trapped in the south, and the sky was pouring like torrential rain.

One is that it was too late to go north, and the other is that a lot of water vapor was removed in the south. Even though the gods cleared the way and sent it to the north, the amount of rain in the past was not enough.

Floods and droughts occurred during the lean season, and it was bitterly cold in winter, leaving a big mess for the new emperor.

People's livelihood is more difficult than before.

This is a sign of changes in the world, not only Gong Mengbi feels this way, even other foxes will inadvertently say, "The world is difficult, and the prosperity is no longer."

Foxes also have to eat and drink in the human world, and they also have to make a living.The harder it is, the more devout the people will be when they worship the gods.

Mostly because there is no exit in the world, we have to ask the gods and Buddhas.

Gods and Buddhas don't eat, but foxes do.Even foxes are having a hard time at this time, even if they have a little skill, it is difficult to make a living by it.

In a blink of an eye it is the winter solstice.

There are lanterns and festoons in the fox courtyard.

Ning Caichen and Ma Junji went home after taking a rest to celebrate the festive season with their families.Gong Mengbi gave them a very high monthly salary, which was enough for them to improve their lives and concentrate on their studies.

If the teacher can't survive by himself, how can he have the heart to teach the students?Gong Mengbi only wanted them to do their best, so he didn't spare money.They even give them gifts during the holidays.

This winter solstice, only one person was paid half a month's salary extra.

During such a big festival, the homeless foxes celebrated in the fox yard by themselves.

From June to November, after more than five months of study, these foxes are already very different from the past.

Gong Mengbi is good at teaching, not just imparting knowledge.

It is what he has been doing to broaden the fox's horizons and enlighten his mind.

If the vision is narrow, the whole life will be exhausted, so how can there be any extra energy to see the wider world.

If the fox's practice is limited to outsiders, his life will not be long.Only after entering the rank, will there be a substantial increase in lifespan.

If you don't practice, then every trivial matter is enough to make the fox retreat day by day, until there is no way to retreat, and he will die of longevity or disaster.

It is often said that there are nine kalpas for a fox to practice. In fact, it is not that he is destined to go through nine kalpas before he can become enlightened, but that it is not easy to practice, and he will encounter various difficulties.

Those mountain fox cultivators are ignorant, they don't even know what is important and what is not, and they are rolling around in the world. If they are lucky, they may achieve something, but most of them disappear without a trace.

In Huziyuan, Gong Mengbi taught them what to advance and retreat, what to gain and what to lose, communicated experience, shared knowledge, and taught them how to practice. Gradually, the atmosphere gradually changed.

Among them, the necessary restraint is naturally indispensable, but they must be convinced of the truth.

A considerable part of the fox's fate naturally disintegrated during this period of practice, and the enrichment of vision and the transformation of mentality even untied many evil fates.

From the initial transformation of human form to influence popularity, to the current worship of heaven and gods and the preservation of spirit, foxes are becoming more and more human-like, more and more out of the temperament of wild animals, and gradually gain popularity.

Most of this popularity came from the influence of the two teachers. Even Ning Caichen and Ma Junji themselves often couldn't tell whether they were teaching foxes or humans.

When Gong Mengbi heard their sighs, he often asked with a smile: "As far as heaven is concerned, what is not human?"

As far as people themselves are concerned, maybe they are not human if they look different.But as far as heaven is concerned, the people are the people, and the fox people are also the people, so there is no difference.

Whether one is considered human or not is obviously not judged by the image.

For the foxes to celebrate the winter solstice, banquets are essential. Although they don't have the cooking skills like Fatty Kang, they can still cook edible meals.

But the most important thing about the fox is not the feast, but the performance before the god named by Gong Mengbi.

On the day of the winter solstice, perform rituals and offer sacrifices to the gods in front of the Empress of Mount Tai in order to repay her kindness.

Because of this incident, all the foxes entered a tense and exciting atmosphere.

Everywhere you can see fox spirits breathing out the wind, driving things away, or transforming themselves, and they are all preparing to perform in front of the gods.

Only the fox prisoner in charge of the banquet showed envious and pitiful eyes.

Before performing the night banquet, Gong Mengbi first received greetings from afar.

It was an elegant scent of flowers lingering around, Gong Mengbi smiled knowingly, found a quiet room, closed his eyes and answered the call.

The room is filled with fragrant fragrance and the fragrance of flowers warming the fire, which is invited by Liang Ji.

Gong Mengbi used the scent to transform into form, looked at Liang Ji and Liu Sheng, and said with a gentle smile: "I am relieved to see that you are all well."

Liang Ji smiled and said: "Brother Lao is running around all over these days, I have achieved a little success in the method of Lengxiang Wan, and it is a festive season, so I invite Brother Gong to come and gather."

Since the last time the Fucheng ghosts and gods came to investigate the death of the city god in Wuning County, Liu Sheng wandered around with Liang Ji, running around in order to collect the flowers of the four seasons and the rain of the four seasons.

Among them, the most difficult one is the white peony. Because the season has passed, I asked Grandma Shi for divination and found it in a valley before the flowers withered.

Later, when Grandma Shi passed away, it was Gong Mengbi who looked at the sky, counted fate, and pointed out the maze for them.

Liang Ji has gathered together the rain of the rain season, the dew of the white dew season, the frost of the frost season, and the snow of the light snow season, the water vapor of the four clear.

Among the elites of the four flowers, the white peony, white lotus, and white hibiscus have all been refined, only the white plum is missing.

Although the past six months have been hard work, both Liu Sheng and Liang Ji have enjoyed it.

Liu Sheng's originally decadent body and martial arts are even more powerful, and Liang Ji's popularity and cold fragrance have already made her appear in the daytime, not afraid of the sun.

Gong Mengbi sat with them for a while, and then pointed out: "Go to Dalei Mountain. There are plum blossoms planted by senior Qixiu in Dalei Mountain, and there are many white plums among them. The aura of the mountain is enough to be used."

Liu Sheng took out the letter of recommendation hidden in the bundle, which Gong Mengbi asked for from Granny Shi.The old man Qixiu was born in Qingxu Temple, and Granny Shi has always had a good relationship with Qingxu Temple, so it is not a problem to recommend someone to practice.

Gong Mengbi took this letter and thought of Granny Shi, feeling a little sad for a moment.

Gong Mengbi didn't stay for long, now that the aroma was transformed, he couldn't eat or drink, and he had to waste Liang Ji's mana, so he said goodbye soon, and prepared for the performance of the banquet.

At night, Gong Mengbi led the foxes to worship the Empress of Mount Tai and Goddess Yuxian.

It's cold and freezing, and the foxes have transformed into one by one now, and they already look like they are wearing thick jackets.

Even Gong Mengbi was wearing a fiery red cloak, with the white winter clothes underneath.

　I was quite busy today, I was too tired, and I fell asleep when I came back to sit on the sofa and drink water at night.There is another chapter that should not be finished until 12:30. I will post it for repair first, so don't read it for now.The transition is over, and it's time to enter the mainline.
