Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 716 Better sooner rather than later

Chapter 716 Better sooner rather than later

Su Shangxian looks like a young Taoist priest. If he were not a fox fairy like Gong Mengbi, it would be difficult to detect that his true form is also a fox.

He practiced in seclusion in Tianping Mountain and usually did not go out. Only King Shicheng would occasionally visit him and talk to him about the affairs of the world.

Gong Mengbi asked, "You are a highly accomplished person, and you have made great achievements in the Heavenly Fox Academy. You are also the mainstay of the Su family. If you just throw up your hands and do nothing, will no one stop you?"

Su Shangxian said: "I am tired of their calculativeness, petty intrigues, and considerations of this and that, so I hide here to seek peace and quiet. They are reluctant to let me go, but they dare not lose their temper with me. They bring up the clan's tiger skin to bully me, and they are also worried that I will get angry - you see, they care too much, their hearts are narrow, their courage is small, and even their brains are not smart enough."

"I have worked as a doctor in Tianhu Academy for several years and taught several students. They were all the same. They didn't focus on cultivation, but spent all their time on scheming. What's the point of trying to please me? Can I help them cultivate?"

"People will think over and over again about what I say casually, but serious advice will be treated as nonsense. If I speak harshly, they will think I am suppressing them, and if I ignore them, they will think I am deliberately indulging them."

Su Shangxian scratched his hair and commented, "It's like he has hysteria."

"I was too lazy to argue with them, so I just left. At first I went home to take a look, but later I found out that once I went back I would be treated as family property and used as a means to negotiate, arrange marriages, and coerce others. I was really disgusted and never went back again."

Su Shangxian was so angry that he complained to Gong Mengbi.

Hearing Gong Mengbi's endless laughter, he clinked glasses with him repeatedly and said, "Brother Su's words are spicy, they can be used as a tea."

Su Shangxian said: "You are doing very well in the Heavenly Fox Court, how can you treat it as a joke?"

Gong Mengbi said, "You haven't been back to Tianhu Court for a long time. If the dean didn't think highly of me, I wouldn't be doing well in Tianhu Court. I'm afraid there are many people in Tianhu Court who want to skin me alive and tear my tendons apart."

Su Shangxian became interested instead and said, "Tell me quickly, what have you done that has angered heaven and people?"

Gong Mengbi talked about some things about educating wild foxes, and Su Shangxian was surprised when he heard it.

Su Shangxian gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are this. It's better for you to be a fox master outside now. When you return to Tianhuyuan, I'm afraid you will be in trouble every day."

Gong Mengbi said: "It's not certain who will burn whose butt."

Su Shangxian laughed loudly and said, "That's right, with your ability to stir up trouble, you can get along well with them."

Gong Mengbi looked at him sideways and asked, "You are also from a noble family, don't you think I'm going too far?"

Su Shangxian pursed his lips and said, "What kind of aristocratic wild fox is this? A fourth-grade fox can be the chief priest of the Heavenly Fox Court. It can't even be called a great sect in the human world. You call yourself a noble family in the Heavenly Fox Court, but what can you be considered after leaving the Heavenly Fox Court?"

Gong Mengbi clinked glasses with him and said, "Who said it wasn't?"

Su Shangxian laughed and said, "You can make trouble, but I just feel annoyed. I don't care if he is a wild fox from an aristocratic family. If you can educate him, you can educate him. If you can't educate him, you can educate him. It's all his own fault."

Gong Mengbi said slowly: "Your Majesty is in charge of all foxes in the world, someone has to do it. If you let wild foxes cause chaos, it will also affect your reputation."

Su Shangxian said: "Your Highness, why would you care about this? The laws of nature are vague, life and death, honor and disgrace, are all passing clouds, who cares about this?"

Gong Mengbi held his chin with one hand and played with the teacup with the other. He held the teacup in front of his eyes. The light almost illuminated the jade cup. The tea in the jade cup was hazy and misty, just like his vague voice. He said, "Who knows. Although the way of heaven is vague and the queen doesn't care, there must be someone who cares."

Su Shangxian shrugged and said, "It's OK as long as you don't feel annoyed."

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "If I feel annoyed, I won't do it. It's actually very interesting and it won't interfere with my practice."

Su Shangxian heard the key words and said, "Won't so many trivial matters hinder your practice?"

Gong Mengbi looked at him strangely and said, "Doesn't cultivation also require good deeds? If you want to become an immortal, you can't ascend without enough good deeds, right?"

Su Shangxian seemed to understand something, but he felt annoyed again: "Why do I have to take the test of good deeds? Why can't I ascend to immortality through pure cultivation? I have been stuck at the fourth level for so long, can it be because I don't have enough good deeds that I can't reach the third level?"

Gong Mengbi waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to take the test of good deeds, then cultivate to become a super-grade celestial being. You can ascend to immortality without good deeds. Also, the third grade has nothing to do with good deeds. Only those who want to ascend to immortality must take the test of good deeds."

Su Shangxian drooped his eyelids, leaned his head back on the cloud seat, and shouted, "Annoying! Annoying! Annoying!"

Gong Mengbi just thought it was funny, put down the teacup, and said, "You think about it slowly, I'll go to Yue Mansion first."

He pulled out a lamp in Su Shangxian's room, and as Su Shangxian said, "Don't touch my lamp!", he held the lamp and blew gently. The bright flame turned into a faint green fox fire, and a ray of darkness emerged from the bright Taoist temple, which illuminated the Yin and Yang worlds in an instant, and then disappeared in the Taoist temple.

Su Shangxian saw that there was an empty lamp on the table, and he felt even more upset: "You are very good at observing people's expressions, why are you so rude to me?"

Gong Mengbi held the lantern and entered the Yue Mansion, looking for Liu Dapan and explaining the matter of the ghost concubine Madam Chen. Liu Dapan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Does she have such courage?"

Gong Mengbi said: "After all, she is also a ghost concubine."

Liu Dapan said: "She intends to turn herself in, but the devil is now the heir of Prince Wu, so we can't act rashly. Let's see what Wei Dapan says."

The two met Wei Dapan, who was the Lord's right-hand man. The Yin-Yang Department had a direct line to the Yue Mansion, and he was the only one who could make decisions on behalf of the Lord.

Wei Dapan groaned for a moment and said, "I remember Mingfu once recorded the death record of that devil in the Yin Palace?"

Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I let him see the moon phase under the pretext of refining the moon phase instrument, and I did record his death in the Yin Palace, but he is a living person and has someone to look after him, so I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

Judge Wei blinked and said, "It's just a look."

Judge Wei retrieved the death register and found the one about the devils. He read it carefully and then had an idea of ​​what was going on.

He turned to a blank page in the death register, picked up a small seal from the table and was about to stamp it, but was stopped by Gong Mengbi.

Gong Mengbi said: "Great Judge, King Linchuan..."

"Hush!" Judge Wei looked around and saw that no one was around, so he whispered, "What King Linchuan? This is a dead person in the underworld. He used a human body to escape from the underworld, violating the laws of the underworld. He should be sent back as soon as possible to rectify the chaos."

Gong Mengbi lowered his voice and asked, "Will there be any problem?"

Wei Dapan had already knocked the red mud on the death register and stuffed it into Liu Dapan's hand, saying, "It's better to catch the guilty soul sooner rather than later."
