Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 774 A Little Lie

Zhang Chenghuang was in such a plight. As the city god, he was imprisoned in his own ghost prison. He had a shackle on his neck and was covered in dirt. He had lost his divine seal, and his magic power was greatly reduced.

In this gloomy ghost prison, the immortal who broke in with his divine seal almost made Zhang Chenghuang feel ashamed.

"Why don't you release the City God? How can you let the righteous gods suffer in the ghost prison?" said the immortal.

The five ghosts stepped forward and tried to open the ghost prison. The lock of the ghost prison not only locked the building, but also the qi meridians of the formation.

Zhang Chenghuang said: "It is easier to drive it with the divine seal..."

Before he could finish his words, the Five Ghosts had already removed the lock, opened the cell door, and said, "City God, please."

Zhang Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, and when he walked out of the cell, he saw the extraordinary-looking immortal clearly, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

The immortal laughed and said, "You asked Miao Huhui to come and plead with me, but you don't recognize me?"

Zhang Chenghuang then realized that this was the fox fairy who had acted in secret!

"So, it's you." Zhang Chenghuang said with a bitter look on his face, "I didn't expect to see you here, and I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand and grabbed the shackles on Zhang Chenghuang's body. The shackles under his hands began to tremble violently and began to twist and deform.

Under Zhang Chenghuang's almost surprised eyes, the shackles twisted and stretched, like a snake disguised as a branch that was suddenly pinched by someone's seven-inch lifeline, and it began to struggle frantically, revealing its twisted and hideous true form, and then fell off Zhang Chenghuang's body.

Gong Mengbi was only holding the piece of yoke, which happened to be on the throat of the demon god. No matter how he struggled, or how his arms covered with bone spurs and sharp blades slapped Gong Mengbi, they were all blocked by the soft light outside Gong Mengbi's body. He could neither hurt the fox fairy nor escape.

Fire appeared in Gong Mengbi's hands, and the fox fire penetrated into the throat of the demon god from his hands, and then attacked from the inside in an instant, breaking through his whole body.

Zhang Chenghuang only watched as the demon god's back suddenly cracked, and the faint green fox fire looked like blue smoke floating from a cigarette, dispersing into the void along with the ashes of the demon god.

Zhang Chenghuang swallowed his saliva, put on a warm smile on his face, and said, "Thank you, Immortal!"

Gong Mengbi threw the divine seal to Zhang Chenghuang and said, "It has been returned to its original owner."

Zhang Chenghuang took over the divine seal and finally regained his power. The divine power resonated between him and the divine seal, cleansing his embarrassment and allowing him to regain his majestic appearance.

It was at this time that he discovered that the divine seal was covered with cracks, emitting the aftermath of thunder.

"this?"

Gong Mengbi said, "Last night, a demon god riding a red sheep came to trouble me with the divine seal. He was full of insults and insults in his words, so I struck him with divine thunder, and his Dharma image was broken and he fled. This divine seal was also struck by thunder and lost. My five retainers spent a whole night searching for it. I saw that it was the seal of the City God of Xia Pi, so I brought it to the City God Temple to take a look and to ask the demon god about his origins."

Gong Mengbi's understatement made Zhang Chenghuang even more cautious.

Five hundred years ago, King Mara was already incredibly difficult to deal with. Now that he has transformed into the Golden True King, Zhang Chenghuang was even more difficult to deal with and was easily taken down.

But in the end, according to the fox fairy, "it was struck by divine thunder, and its Dharma image was broken and fled." Even the divine seal was cracked, but the tone was still nonchalant, as if it was harassed by a street thug for no reason.

Zhang Chenghuang was flexible and did not get angry even though the divine seal was broken. He smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, my ability is not good enough. The demon god broke through the divine domain. My subordinates are all in prison. I am afraid that I will neglect you. Please wait for me to release them."

Gong Mengbi glanced at the ghost prison and said, "No need to bother."

He stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, and then he heard a crackling sound, which was the sound of the cell door lock being removed.

Zhang Chenghuang knew his abilities even better.

He quickly stepped forward, kicked the prison where his left and right arms were imprisoned, and said, "Why don't you come out to greet the distinguished guest!"

He first led Gong Mengbi to the City God Palace and treated him as a guest of honor.

Soon, ghost servants came forward to serve. Fortunately, the Golden True Nature King disappeared suddenly, and the divine domain had not been completely destroyed.

Zhang Chenghuang poured tea for Gong Mengbi and said, "I only knew you from Miao Huhui and learned about your magical powers from Hou Laodao. I am honored to meet you today. I haven't asked for your name yet."

Gong Mengbi said, "My last name is Gong, and I am a student at the Tianhu Academy. My courtesy name is Mingfu."

"It turned out to be the Immortal Gong." Zhang Chenghuang said with emotion: "If it weren't for the Immortal's rescue, I'm afraid we would have been trapped and died in prison. It's really shameful."

Zhang Chenghuang exchanged information with Gong Mengbi. Zhang Chenghuang told Gong Mengbi the story of King Mara, the chess game of cultivation, and Zhang Chengzu's fate. He explained the ins and outs of offending the fox clearly, and learned from Gong Mengbi what happened last night.

Zhang Chenghuang sighed, "Xinjue betrayed us and used the fox book to break the law of reincarnation, awakening the Mara King and transforming him into the Golden True Nature King. If it weren't for the immortal using thunder to subdue the demon last night, I'm afraid it would have turned into a situation of devastation. The demon god wants to rebuild the palace and prepare for war. I don't know what kind of storm he will stir up."

Gong Mengbi said: "So there is such a reason, I didn't know it."

Zhang Chenghuang raised his eyelids and observed Gong Mengbi carefully, saying: "Now that the demon god has escaped, he must lie low for a while to recuperate. This is a good opportunity to get rid of him."

Gong Mengbi didn't respond and said, "The City God cares about the world and is worthy of being a role model for the area."

Zhang Chenghuang could only sigh in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask Gong Mengbi for this. This fox fairy was obviously not an old-fashioned monk who was easy to control. If he angered him, he would suffer the consequences.

Gong Mengbi said, "I came here today not only to return the divine seal, but also for Zhang Chengzu's matter. Zhang Chengzu turned into a demon god because of Xinjue, and he fought with me. It's an unbreakable evil fate. Originally, according to the agreement, I broke off the fate with Zhang Chengzu, and you returned the fox book, and then let it go. What do you say now?"

Zhang Chenghuang dared not to dwell on such a small matter, and said: "Times have changed, so let's just forget about it. There is no need to mention it again. The Miao Fox Association built the Fox Courtyard, which is a virtue of education. I will fully support it."

"That's great." Gong Mengbi put down his teacup, looked at Zhang Chenghuang, and talked about something unrelated: "I have traveled in the human world and have seen many gods, but I have seen few upright ones and many deceitful ones. There are countless people who are in the position of gods but stay away from the way of gods."

"I am just a fox seeking immortality in vain. I only have a few lies to tell you, City God Zhang."

Zhang Chenghuang was so frightened that no one knew what he wanted to say.

"The sage said: If one's conduct is upright, he will act without being told; if one's conduct is not upright, he will not act despite being told. This is advice for governing, but it is in line with the way of man and God. If one's conduct is upright, his God will be upright, even if the way is far, while if one's conduct is not upright, his God will be defeated, even if the way is short, he will be far away."

"City God Zhang has a righteous heart and a righteous conduct, so his future will surely be smooth."

As he was speaking, the fox fairy had disappeared, leaving only the light from the sky, illuminating the gap in the darkness.

Zhang Chenghuang wiped his cold sweat and recalled the information he had obtained when he was negotiating peace with the Miao Hu Society. The Tianhu Court and the Huzi Court were all disciples of Mount Tai. With such words of admonition and such magical powers, what kind of honorable position did he hold in Mount Tai?

The City God is the hub of yin and yang, and is the one who understands the principles of yin and yang. How could he not know the reputation of Mount Tai?
