Chapter 732: Judgment of Fate
Bright moons rose above Shouyue Tower, twelve of them shining dimly in the sky, casting a clear light on the mountains, trees, clouds and fog.
Taiyin nurtures and nourishes all living things, and thus all things can thrive endlessly.
The images of the twelve gods of the moon appear one after another.
From January to December, the bright moons are like reflections in the water and clouds in the sky, spreading out one after another and turning into a colorful sky.
It was such a magnificent color, but in the eyes of the fox, he could only see a bright white.
Gong Mengbi taught the December sacrificial methods to a group of foxes through oral instruction.
"These twelve gods were born according to the time of heaven and change with the seasons. You should worship the moon and practice cultivation, relying on the twelve moon gods to protect your spirits. By training your qi and concentrating your mind, you will naturally make progress."
"Twelve months make up one cycle. If you can complete twelve cycles, you won't have to worry about running out of mana until you become a spiritual god."
"As for cultivating the spirit, that is another kind of practice."
The foxes' moods rise and fall with the bright moon, and rise and fall with the moon.
The sun and the moon shine forever, impartially, not for anyone alone, and without any likes or dislikes.
The clear moon illuminated the foxes' spirits, causing them to feel tears welling up in their eyes, which gradually gathered as Gong Mengbi spoke, transforming into living water that cleansed their souls.
Looking at Gong Mengbi again, he seems to be the god in the moon, with an aura of detachment from the world, but his eyes are gentle and somewhat compassionate.
Gong Mengbi said: "We foxes originally live between the living and the dead, close to humans and animals, like fairies and monsters, strange and unique, but we are also influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon, but we are just ordinary."
"The creation of heaven and earth bestows all living things. Karma and fate bring them together, impartially."
"Foxes are born to cultivate by taking advantage of fate. Other demons and fairies can escape from the mortal world, but foxes like me insist on entering the world and following the world. I use the law of fate to pry open the destiny and cultivate my mind."
“You did it this way, and I did it this way too.”
"Making connections is not easy. How to make connections, how to borrow connections, and how to resolve connections are both about the human world and the development of the mind of Tao. If you don't understand the human world, you will often have bad connections. If you don't understand the mind of Tao, it is often difficult to escape. How to strike the right balance requires constant experimentation and self-reflection."
"Although the two words cause and condition are often mentioned together, there is still a difference between them. Cause is like a seed, and condition is like rain and dew. In the word practice, I am the seed, and the method of condition is the rain and dew cultivating. Without seeds, no matter how much rain and dew there is, it will not bear fruit. It is self-evident who comes first and who is more important."
"When you step into the world, you must learn to judge cause and effect. Sow seeds first, instead of praying for rain and dew first."
Gong Mengbi looked at the confused expressions on their faces and knew that he had said enough.
He stood up, and the clouds beneath him naturally dissipated.
"That's all I have to say. I hope you don't feel that your trip today was in vain." Gong Mengbi curled his eyes and turned back to Shouyue Tower.
The teachers of the two houses maintained order and said, "If you have urgent matters to leave, you can leave now. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay until tomorrow and leave together."
Now that you're here, why would anyone leave now?
Not to mention the wonders of this Taoist temple, even the countless moonlight that is scattered during the December tour cannot be wasted.
Under the master's command, the foxes acted separately.
After asking the tall Five Ghost Gods for directions, he collected pine branches, fragrant herbs and other items from Wuhuan Peak.
Finally, they built a tall bonfire and began to worship the Goddess of Mount Tai using the December ritual taught by Gong Mengbi. They sang and danced around the bonfire, thanked the gods with fox calls and fox dances, and performed the Taoist ritual of fox worshipping the moon.
The moonlight is flowing and the fox's howl is long.
The smoke from the herbs burning in the campfire merged with the clouds in Wuhuan Peak.
The moonlight gradually faded and the sky gradually brightened.
Although it was in the dojo, the movement of the sun and the moon did not change. However, the fox knew that the moon did not disappear, but was hidden in the sky, covered by clouds and could not be seen. If you ride the cloud dragon mist crane to the sky, you can see the bright moon hanging high. If you continue to go up, you can also see the blue dragon.
After a night of communication and exchanging information, both the foxes from Wuning County and Jinhua County gained a lot.
The foxes went down the mountain in two groups. The ones from the Fox Court of Lanyin Temple left first, and on their way back, the Master accompanied them all the way.
The students of Fox Academy at Fox Hill took a step back, and as soon as they stepped out of Wuhuan Peak, they were hit in the face by the hot and humid rain.
The rain continued for thirty days and there was no sign of stopping.
Different from the floods in previous years, the black dragon lingered back and forth, water vapor accumulated, and finally it turned into a vast swamp like a crack in the sky.
But this year's rain is different.
The drizzle was like silk, woven into flannel and covering the sky. The heat and moisture contended with each other, as if we were living in a steamer every day.
"Why isn't the plum blossom season coming out yet?"
Xue Nianjiao came out from the corner of the land temple, swept the cushion in front of the statue with her big tail, sat down on the cushion, hugged her arms and shook her legs impatiently.
The community god also walked down from the statue, wearing brocade clothes, but with a weathered face, like an old man who had stolen the landlord's clothes. He took a pipe and puffed on it, slowly refining the incense from the candles into a little bit of divine power.
The community god was not arrogant and squatted beside Xue Nianjiao. The man and the fox looked at the slanting rain outside in the small land temple and gradually felt anxious.
After this day, more and more people came to worship, all praying for the early end of the plum blossom season.
On hot and humid days, the soil is warm when you dig your hands into the ground, and the roots of the crops are gradually rotting.
Ten days later, there was still no sign of the end of the plum rain season.
Xue Nianjiao and the community god squatted on the doorstep watching the rain.
The two men were covered in dust and dirt. The somewhat exquisite brocade clothes of the community god were covered in dirt, and Xue Nianjiao had turned into a black-haired fox.
"Why isn't the plum blossom season coming out yet?"
The two partners also became anxious, but one of them was a community god, and the other was not even a shrine. There was nothing they could do except to sort out the earth's energy in the middle of the night. And sorting out the earth's energy was not as easy as imagined.
"What a sin." The community god coughed and spat out a mouthful of pus and phlegm, which twisted on the ground and then disappeared.
Xue Nianjiao glanced at him with disgust and complained, "Please smoke more slowly. The purification of the incense cannot be missed. Don't get yourself into trouble."
The community god shook his pipe, put it on his waist, and continued to stare outside.
"It's going to be a disaster."
Xue Nianjiao asked: "What disaster?"
"do not know."
"Then what do you know?"
"do not know."
Xue Nianjiao sighed, her ears drooping, "There weren't such long plum rain days in previous years, right?"
"No." The community god rarely said one more word, "When everything is normal, there will be no disaster. When it is abnormal, there will be disaster."
Xue Nianjiao rolled her eyes.
