Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 247
When Gong Mengbi came to Anyi Restaurant, he heard Fatty Kang mention it, and said: "Now the rat plague is in danger, I heard that the government has summoned magicians and witches to use strange techniques to calm the rat plague, Mr. Xiang was summoned early in the morning. gone."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Sister Xiang doesn't live close by, but you are well informed."

Fatty Kang pouted, signaling the direction of the deer.

Gong Mengbi wondered, "He notified you?"

Fatty Kang said: "Recently, he has become very ambitious for some reason. He wants to challenge the Shu King, prepares to kill the Shu King, gather elite soldiers and generals, and become the king himself. He has been plotting rebellion these days and gathered a group of The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled scout for news for him."

Jialu had already heard what Fatty Kang was saying about him, and was immediately dissatisfied: "I am fighting against innocence and killing tyranny. Then the rat king got elite soldiers and strong generals, so he looked down on ordinary rats, and he drove out all the old, weak, sick and disabled. , Now that the counties and towns are talking about rats, the rats raised by Taoism are not easy to catch, but ordinary rats are easy to catch."

Gong Mengbi said: "Now that the government has summoned a different person to drive away the rats, are you not afraid of jumping out and being used by the Rat King to stop the disaster?"

Jialu looked gloomy and said, "That's why I didn't leave."

Fatty Kang shook his head with a smile, and said: "If you go, you can't beat him. The Shu King has already reached the seventh rank, which is a lot higher than you. If you dare to go, aren't you afraid of being bitten off your head?"

Gong Mengbi was surprised and said: "The Mouse King has seven ranks?"

Fatty Kang nodded, and said: "This idiot thinks that he has not revealed the matter of gathering the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, but he doesn't know that the Shu King has already touched the door of the house. If he didn't stay in the restaurant all day long, the Shu King The king is afraid that I dare not make a move, I am afraid that the door has already been knocked on."

Jialu was taken aback: "When did he come?"

Fatty Kang said: "He came when you were plotting with a few clan elders last night."

Jia Lu was taken aback again: "How do you know that I conspired with the clan elders last night?"

Fatty Kang patted him on the head: "My shop, you brought a few rat demons in, and asked me how I knew."

Jia Lu immediately shrank his neck, not daring to speak.

Fatty Kang said: "Okay, don't plot here anymore. The rat doesn't know why it's crazy. It's fine if it doesn't restrain the rats. If it dares to let the rats do the murder, I'm afraid it won't be too arrogant for a few days. Poor cultivator It’s rare, and I’m afraid it will be lost.”

Not long after, Mr. Xiang came back. When he arrived at the restaurant, he sighed and said, "This government is also an iron rooster. It wants people to do things but refuses to give them benefits. What do we want him to reward? Not yet. The money is real."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Where did you get the money? It's been more than ten days since the money was stolen and it hasn't been found, and now I'm afraid that the money will not be paid out. Sister Xiang, can someone answer the matter of driving the rats?"

Xiang Jun shook his head, fixed his eyes on Gong Mengbi, and asked, "Do you have an idea?"

Gong Mengbi nodded, and said: "I have an idea, if no one responds, then I will make a move."

Mr. Xiang laughed: "If I have no money, I have to work hard to offend the Mouse King. I don't want to do that. That mouse is shrewd and sneaky. If he can't catch him and he escapes, I'm afraid there will be no more peaceful days."

Gong Mengbi said: "I'm quite sure, just now that I'm staying at Lanyin Temple to build a fox courtyard, I just got this reason to go to the City God to intercede."

Jun Xiang smiled and said: "The government can't find anyone to do things, and now it has posted a list and offered a reward, but the reward is not high. Let's go, I will take you to reveal the list."

Mr. Xiang got up and took Gong Mengbi to unveil the list. She was dressed in shades of green and moved like the wind, leaving as soon as she said she wanted.

Gong Mengbi was dragged out of the house by her, but when she got out, she kept her eyes fixed and half-closed her eyes, showing a kind of indifference and alienation.

Gong Mengbi wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still managed to hold back.

Her expression of rejecting people thousands of miles away is not only not annoying, but many acquaintances greet her when they see her.

Gong Mengbi walked behind her unhurriedly, his slender eyes were always smiling.

Mr. Xiang's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I don't know why, the colder I am, the more they believe me. If I try to persuade them, they will be suspicious."

Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Sister Xiang now calls herself a witch, which represents the majesty of the gods. Naturally, the more indifferent they are, the more they will be in awe."

Jun Xiang said: "That's why I don't dare to talk nonsense outside."

But it is also enough to show that Mr. Xiang is quite famous in the county. Although she is a witch, she has a high prestige. Anyone who knows her knows her spiritual response.

Mr. Xiang took him to the county government office, and sure enough, he saw a reward posted on the wall outside the county government office, offering fifty hangs to find someone else to cure the rat problem.

Gong Mengbi was speechless and said, "Fifty hanging coins? The bank has been emptied, and the only copper coins left are hard to carry, so you still keep them?"

Mr. Xiang smiled and said, "What's so strange about this? It's not bad to give you a full catty and a tael for fifty slings."

Gong Mengbi revealed the reward list, and the yamen servants on one side smiled happily, and said, "Can you cure rats?"

Gong Mengbi said: "It can be cured."

The yamen servant immediately led Gong Mengbi into the county yamen, and even Lord Xiang invited him in.

After a while, the county magistrate came in a hurry, and when he saw Mr. Xiang, he first asked, "Shen Wu, is this your friend?"

Mr. Xiang nodded and said, "Not bad."

The county magistrate heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That must be an expert, how can an expert treat rats?"

Gong Mengbi said: "I have the method of summoning foxes to repel mice. It can only be used at night, but I can order a group of foxes to control mice."

The county magistrate twirled his beard and said, "A fox repelling mice is similar to a cat repelling mice. Yes, sir, please do it."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I don't need any money, but I have one condition."

The county magistrate rejoiced and said, "Please tell me."

After Gong Mengbi finished speaking, the county magistrate hesitated and said, "I can't decide this matter, and I have to report it to the prefect."

Gong Mengbi said, "I can wait."

The magistrate said: "No, you come with me."

The county magistrate took Gong Mengbi to see the prefect. The prefect Zhang was in a state of distress and his mouth was bubbling. Hearing Gong Mengbi's conditions, he said, "Since you don't want money, I will promise you."

The prefect personally went to the Temple of the City God to offer incense, and recommended Gong Mengbi to the God of the City God.

The incense is lingering.

The eunuch couldn't see it, but Gong Mengbi had already seen the City God opened his eyes.

He only heard him ask: "Who are you? Let the prefect introduce you, and what do you ask for?"

Gong Mengbi said: "Gong Mengbi, a student of the Tianhu Academy, now lives in Lanyin Mountain in the north of the city. According to the decree of the Tianhu Academy, he wants to build a fox school in Lanyin Mountain. He is new here, and he has not made any achievements, so he dare not disturb him. City God. Now that the county and city are plagued by rats, I can call the foxes to control the rats and do a little bit of work, so I dare to ask the eunuch to recommend me."

The God of City God glanced at the prefect, showing disgust in his eyes, but looked at Gong Mengbi, but he was very gentle: "So it's the fox fairy of Tianhu Academy. It's a good thing that you want to see the Fox Academy. It was built in On Lanyin Mountain?"

Gong Mengbi said: "I have already visited Lanyin Mountain. It is a precious land. It is a pity that it is abandoned now. It just happens to be used as a school."

The City God said: "Okay, then I will trouble you to cure the rats."

Obtaining the City God's consent, Gong Mengbi saluted and said, "Thank you, City God."
