Chapter 726 Rainy Period
The rain stopped, but the sky was still not bright.
The thick and humid water vapor turned into mist, suspended in Fox Hill.
The sky gradually darkened and the pine trees began to shine.
Mr. Beilai summoned the foxes in front of the altar. She placed the Mingfu Fox Book on the table. She stretched out her hand and fished around in the Fox Book, and then she fished out thick white smoke, in which were running and changing ink marks.
The swirling smoke gradually floated steadily, and the ink marks returned to their places, transforming into fox characters.
Under the illumination of the brazier and pine torches, the white smoke shone with gold, and even the fox pattern also shone with golden light.
Mr. Beilai said: "Concentrate your mind and get ready to start."
Among the foxes, there was another fox book.
This fox book is much thicker than the one in the hands of the Immortal Beilai.
The fox book in the hands of the Immortal Beilai is the original version of Mingfu's fox book, while the fox books in the hands of the fox children are the versions handed down from the Kangwen era. They have been passed down from generation to generation by fox children, recording many secrets of cultivation that were handed down at that time, and occasionally also some jargon among the fox children.
Today, after continuous additions, it is already twice as thick as the original Fox Book.
This fox book is kept in the library. It can be borrowed but not owned exclusively.
Each fox has its own practice notes, and if you are greedy, you can copy down all the fox books.
At the end of the fox, Erqiu and Sanqiu turned into human forms, with only their tails still wagging.
They used their tails to dip into ink and write and draw on the book, asking as they wrote: "Is this paragraph still about fire-bending techniques?"
Da Qiu nodded and asked, "You guys learned fox writing very quickly."
Erqiu and Sanqiu looked at Daqiu. Under the light of the fire, the purple-black eyes of these two people revealed a kind of resentment.
Da Qiu sighed and said, "There is nothing we can do. To prevent the fox book from spreading to the human world, it is forbidden to write it in human language."
Erqiu and Sanqiu drooped their shoulders, resting their heads on Daqiu's shoulders, crying, "I'm so tired."
Foxes learn fox language very quickly and can easily understand the meaning of each fox language. However, Erqiu and Sanqiu are not foxes, so it is more difficult for them to learn.
Torches and bonfires illuminated the altar on Fox Hill, but even the light melted away in the thick fog.
Gan Rou looked around and boldly asked, "Mr. Beilai, is the Master not here today?"
The Immortal Beilai said, "He has gone out to visit a friend and will be back tomorrow."
Gan Rou felt a little disappointed and said "Oh".
Beilai Daxian snapped his fingers and a strong wind hit Gan Rou's forehead. The pain was so severe that she covered her forehead and squatted down.
"Please show some respect to Mr. Beilai."
Gan Rou burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry!"
"Forgive you."
The other foxes shrugged their shoulders and covered their mouths, not daring to laugh out loud.
At this moment, Gong Mengbi took advantage of the thick water vapor and reached the Qiantang River.
Mr. Hei took Gong Mengbi's visiting card and gifts and went into the waterway. After a while, he surfaced again and said, "My lord, it has been delivered."
In just a moment, the surface of the Qiantang River parted, revealing a waterway leading directly to the Dragon Palace.
Princess Lingyi's voice came from the waterway, saying, "You're here now, why are you being so polite?"
Gong Mengbi took Mr. Hei and escaped into the water palace, and stopped in front of Qiantang Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace was shone with divine light, illuminating the entire water area.
The nanny brought them into the palace and straight into the Dragon Palace Library.
Princess Lingyi was wearing casual clothes. She did not look like a dragon king, but rather a young girl waiting to be married, gentle and kind.
The jade stove was warming the yellow wine. Princess Lingyi pointed to the table and said, "Come and sit down."
Gong Mengbi sat down opposite Princess Lingyi and asked, "Senior Sister, how are you?"
Princess Lingyi said, "I'm fine, but I'm a little upset. Last time I went through the Taihu Water Palace, the Yangtze River water gods seemed to be in danger, but they didn't dare to ask my brother-in-law, so they came to me one by one, and the door was almost broken by the trampling."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Senior sister is so impressive."
Princess Lingyi poured him a cup of rice wine and said, "I only relied on my father's remaining prestige to secure my position as Lord Qiantang. Otherwise, the Qiantang Dragon Palace would have been downgraded to a water palace long ago. They came to me, and I sent them away with just one sentence."
"What?"
"Observe the laws of heaven and water. Walk upright and sit upright, and your troubles will disappear."
"Wouldn't they be even more panicked then?"
"Brother-in-law has made it clear enough. If you still come here, I'm afraid you will misunderstand me."
Gong Mengbi clinked his glasses with Princess Lingyi and said with a smile, "That's right."
Princess Lingyi asked, "What about you?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I have finished my work outside, and now I am teaching in the Fox Courtyard to rest my mind."
Princess Lingyi asked in surprise, "With your skills, why doesn't the Heavenly Fox Court use you?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Where is there a seat for me in Tianhu Courtyard now? If I go to Tianhu Courtyard, I'm afraid many people will be so anxious that they can't sleep."
Princess Lingyi understood and asked, "Can we argue about this?"
"A small temple has many evil spirits, and a shallow pond has many turtles. How can there be no fight?"
Lord Lingyi shook his head and asked, "What are you doing here today?"
Gong Mengbi put on a smile and said gently, "I came all the way to visit you, Senior Sister."
"Hehe." Princess Lingyi pointed at his chest and said, "When did you really come to see me? Tell me!"
Gong Mengbi said "Ouch" and acted embarrassed, saying: "I really came here specially to visit you, Senior Sister, and I just came to ask about something."
"I know it. Tell me about it."
"It's plum rain season in the south of the Yangtze River. It's hot and humid. My books are going moldy. It's really unbearable."
"so what?"
"So when does the plum blossom season end?"
Princess Lingyi's expression slightly calmed down, and she said, "If you ask me this, I can't really tell you. Generally speaking, it takes at least twenty days, and at most thirty days."
"Generally speaking?"
“It’s usually around this time.”
Princess Lingyi was vague and changed the subject, talking to Gong Mengbi about other things.
Gong Mengbi didn't care and just continued chatting.
In the meantime, Princess Lingyi poured him another glass of wine, and she never touched the pot of rice wine again.
When Gong Mengbi picked up the wine pot to pour her wine, Princess Lingyi said, "Two cups of wine is enough. Any more would be bad."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Senior sister is right."
Then he put the wine jug down again.
When the night got dark, Princess Lingyi looked a little tired and said, "Although it's rare for us to meet, I won't keep you any longer. There have been so many people coming and going these days, I'll go play with you after some time when things are quiet."
Gong Mengbi said: "Then I won't bother you, Senior Sister."
Princess Lingyi sent him out of the Dragon Palace and to the river. She watched him disappear in the clouds, and then looked at the misty fog on the surface of the Qiantang River, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
