Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 762 Putting the matter to rest

Chapter 762 Putting the matter to rest

Taoist Hou bowed his head and spoke sincerely.

Miao Hu would know that something must have happened last night, but he had slept all night and knew nothing, so he could only say: "I am not very experienced in Taoism, I am afraid that the Taoist priest has asked the wrong person for help."

Miao Hu is a ninth-level Taoist who can't even fold his tail tightly, so it's certainly not him.

Taoist Hou pleaded, "Zhang Chengzu originally had no fate to practice with other species, but now he has entered Taoism with the fox book. The further he is from the human world, the closer he is to the practice of ghosts and gods. I know that it was because of the fox book that he offended the Fox Court and the Fox Society, so he was convicted of the Heavenly Fox Court and received such punishment. The City God is willing to deal with it impartially, and I am also willing to make amends for this matter. I only ask the Fox Society to forgive me and mediate between them."

Miao Huhui then completely understood why Gong Mengbi asked him to come.

Everything started with Zhang Chengzu's seizure of the fox book. The most direct relationship between this is Zhang Chengzu and the Miao Fox Society.

Miao Huhui is the person involved, and Shao Huzheng and Gong Huzheng are here to support him.

Gong Mengbi asked him to come but didn't give him any instructions. It was obvious that he wanted him, the victim, to make his own decision. No matter what his idea was, Gong Mengbi would support him.

Given the fox's nature, it would naturally want to settle the matter peacefully and then take the opportunity to extort a large sum of compensation.

But the City God was arrogant at first but respectful later, while Taoist Hou avoided the important point and focused on the trivial. The more they acted kindly, the more uncomfortable the Miao Hu Society felt.

Hu Zi was frightened by the incident of the Fox Book, and was still in a state of fear and anxiety. He ran around to get the Fox Book back, but was repeatedly frustrated. He invited the old senior Shao Hu Zheng to help, but he was injured in the arm and could not recover. He went to the City God Temple to burn incense and complain, but was ridiculed and kicked out.

If it weren't for Gong Mengbi's great magical powers, he would have turned the situation around in just one night. If it were him, he would have been helpless. He spent half his life trying to educate the wild fox, but who knew that an unexpected disaster would almost destroy all his efforts.

The City God and Hou Laodao had expectant and flattering smiles on their faces. Miao Hu would really want to yell at them, make a big fuss, and even slap them in the face.

But he had to consider his future life in Xia Pi, and he was unwilling to waste too much of Gong Mengbi's favor. He also knew that no matter how much he shouted at this moment, they would not take him seriously.

They are not apologizing because they know they have done something wrong, but they are just being humble because they accidentally offended someone who is not easy to deal with.

How could this wild fox really catch their eyes? What they saw was not the Miao Hu Club, but Gong Mengbi standing behind the Miao Hu Club - even though they had never even seen Gong Mengbi.

Miao Hu would swallow the resentment and anger in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, saying, "So that's how it is."

"This matter all started with Zhang Chengzu, and it should end with him. If the City God handles it impartially and Master Zhang returns the fox book, I will ask you to shake hands and make peace."

Taoist Priest Hou and the City God finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miaohu Society."

The two of them personally escorted the Miao Hu Hui out the door. After the Miao Hu Hui had gone far away, Taoist Hou and the City God looked at each other and said, "It is a blessing that this matter can be resolved in this way."

The City God said, "Zhang Chengzu must become your disciple and use your teachings to cleanse the evil in his heart, so that you and I can escape sooner."

Taoist Hou sighed and said, "If I hadn't agreed to Xinjue's plan to use the fox book to enlighten Zhang Chengzu, nothing would have happened today."

"Where's Xinjue? Why don't you see him?"

"He played chess with me yesterday at Tiger Mountain. On the way, someone captured his soul in his dream. When he woke up, he left in a hurry. I think it was the master from the Sky Fox Courtyard who did it. But this old man ran away without saying a word."

The City God shook his head and said, "Forget it. He always comes and goes in a hurry. Don't worry about him."

Taoist Hou said, "Let Zhang Chengzu return the fox book first, and then we can talk about the most important thing."

The City God asked, "Now?"

Taoist Hou looked upset and said, "I am always uneasy and always feel that things are changing."

The City God said, "Then let's do as you say."

The City God immediately sent the left and right Yin gods to capture the soul. Although it was broad daylight, the left and right Yin gods were both judges of the Yin and Yang Department and were capable of using the magic in broad daylight.

However, the ghosts left in a hurry, but returned in a hurry, reporting loudly: "Master, Zhang Chengzu went to Jingta Temple and is not at home."

"What was he doing at Jingta Temple? Why didn't the kid on duty at the Zhang family come to report?"

"Master, I didn't see the little ghost on duty at the Zhang family."

“It’s bad!” The City God’s eyelids twitched, his face suddenly darkened, and then he looked at Taoist Hou.

Taoist Hou's blood boiled. He pinched his fingers and then said angrily: "We have been planning for many years. What on earth does this old villain Xinjue want to do?"

"I'll go to Jingta Temple first, and you will follow later!" As he spoke, Taoist Hou stirred up the wind and clouds and flew away as a rainbow.

Miao Huhui was still on the way back to Chengyang Village, while Zhang Chengzu had already arrived at Jingta Temple.

Not only did he want to come, but his five good friends who were practicing in an unsuccessful way also visited Zhang's house early in the morning. They pulled him out of his house as if they were going out for a trip, and urged him to go to Jingta Temple to retrieve the fox book.

So the six young men went to Jingta Temple again, but were stopped outside the temple.

The monks stood in front of the door, one on each side, and said, "You are not welcome here. Please go back."

Zhang Chengzu stepped forward and said, "Please report to Master Shangyi that I am here to apologize."

The remaining young men were very courageous and wanted to argue, but the majestic look of the monk guarding the gate frightened them and weakened their spirits. Instead, they huddled behind Zhang Chengzu like quails.

"The abbot has ordered that you are not allowed to disturb Master Shangyi."

Zhang Chengzu said, "Please tell Master Shangyi that he asked me a question yesterday and I have realized it. I have come to apologize to him and seek his advice."

The monk originally ignored it, but since it was related to Master Shangyi himself, he still sent someone to ask.

Soon, a monk came over and said, "Master Zhang, please follow me."

The young men were about to follow in together, but were stopped by the attendant monks: "Master Shangyi only said he wanted to see Master Zhang, not you."

These people were stopped outside the door again.

The monk who was accompanying Zhang Chengzu brought him to the monk hall of Master Shangyi, but he did not follow him in. Instead, he said, "Master Shangyi is waiting for you."

Zhang Chengzu pushed the door open and saw Master Shangyi and an old man in brocade robes sitting opposite each other at a desk.

Master Shangyi looked at Zhang Chengzu with a somewhat sad face and asked, "Master Zhang, have you figured it out?"

Zhang Chengzu stepped forward to greet him and said, "I've figured it out. Without a good beginning, there can be no good ending. If it's not fate, forcing it will only hurt others and yourself."

Master Shangyi showed a relieved look and said, "I hope Master Zhang can remember that cultivation begins with a righteous mind."

Just as Zhang Chengzu was about to thank him, he heard a cold snort, "What do you mean by righteousness?"

The old man turned around, with an inexplicable look on his dignified face: "The so-called right mind is to be aware of your original mind. All causes and reasons are burdens."

The old man slowly stood up. Although he was not tall, he cast a huge shadow in front of Zhang Chengzu, which made him feel afraid.

"If you want to practice, then practice is your right mind. If you give up practicing because of other people's judgment, can you still say that you have a right mind?"
