Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 248

With the City God's approval, Gong Mengbi was naturally ready to do his best to put an end to the rat problem.First, the county magistrate was asked to notify the curfew, and then he planned to use Xiangjun's mansion to set up an altar.

Gong Mengbi said: "I settled down on Lanyin Mountain outside the city. I don't live in the city for a long time. I still come to visit old friends. Entrusted by Xiang Jun, I will solve the misfortune of the county and city."

The county magistrate thanked Mr. Xiang: "I only invited the magician to come this morning. I thought the magician was unwilling to do this. I didn't expect to find such an expert with a cold face and a cold heart."

Mr. Xiang was speechless, so he nodded with a straight face.

She has always had this expression, and it's not the first time the county magistrate has dealt with her, so it's not surprising.

Just as they came out of the prefect's mansion, a young man in yellow clothes wearing a bamboo hat came outside the county government office.

The reason why he is called a young man is because his exposed hands and feet are not adult-like, but his voice is a little hoarse. He grabbed the yamen servant and asked, "I heard that the county government issued a reward for rat control. Why didn't I see the announcement?"

This young man is not tall, but his hands are very strong, and he grasped the yamen servant's skirt tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The yamen servant didn't dare to offend, there have been too many capable people and strange people recently, who knows if this young man is some kind of powerful character, he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The list has been taken down by a strange person."

The young man let go of his hand and muttered to himself, "Have you taken it away?"

The yamen servant said: "That's right, the county magistrate has already taken him to the prefect's mansion, maybe he already has a solution."

The young man waved his hand angrily, and said, "How could he be exposed? I came here as soon as I got the news!"

He glanced at the yamen servant, turned around with his bamboo hat on, and went into the alley beside him, disappearing in front of the yamen servant.

When the county magistrate brought Gong Mengbi and Mr. Xiang back to the county government office and stood at the gate of the county government office, Gong Mengbi suddenly stopped and looked at the distant wall.

He looked around, but there was no one there.

I only heard the report from the yamen servant: "I don't know what happened. Not long after my lord left, a young man in yellow came to reveal the list. As soon as I said that someone had revealed the list, he left."

The county magistrate asked, "Didn't you ask where he lives?"

The yamen servant said aggrievedly: "He is very fierce, how dare I ask."

The county magistrate was about to teach him a lesson, but when he saw Gong Mengbi on the side, he said awkwardly: "With Mr. Gong here, I must be sure."

Gong Mengbi said: "Please rest assured, the magistrate. Let's go back to prepare first, please pass the news, don't walk around at night, and don't patrol, so as not to collide."

The county magistrate has already ordered the yamen servants to go to the market to inform that there is a curfew at night and no night travel is allowed.

Gong Mengbi and Xiang Jun went back to Anyi Restaurant first, and informed Fatty Kang about it.

When Jia Lu heard that Gong Mengbi wanted to call the fox to drive away the mice, he hurriedly said: "Sir, please allow me to order the old and weak members of the clan to hide."

Gong Mengbi said: "You find another reason, don't let the wind leak."

Jia Lu replied, "Don't worry, sir."

Jia Lu asked Fatty Kang for leave, and Fatty Kang waved his hand and said, "Go early and come back early, it will be time for dinner soon, and no one will watch the store if you run away."

Jia Lu hurried out and said, "I'll come back as soon as I say something."

Gong Mengbi and Mr. Xiang went back to set up the altar first, and called Wenxiu who was with Xiao Yier in the back kitchen, Xiao Yier hurriedly caught up, leaned on the door and shouted: "Come over to eat after work!"

Gong Mengbi said: "Understood."

Mr. Xiang has already bought a set of property in the county town, and invited two teenagers who can read to help her do things, take care of foreign affairs, and receive visitors.

The two teenagers were dressed in simple but neat clothes. When they saw Mr. Xiang coming back, they immediately went up to say hello, "The witch is back. Today, a family seems to be possessed by evil spirits. I want to invite the witch to take a look."

Xiangjun looked at Gong Mengbi.

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "If my sister doesn't mind me doing it myself, you can do it first."

Mr. Xiang said: "Xiao Wu took me there, and Da Wu stayed behind. This is my friend, Mr. Gong. He wants to set up a Dharma altar at home, and you will help him."

Among them, the tender-faced one took Mr. Xiang to do witchcraft, and the slightly mature one looked at Gong Mengbi cautiously, and shouted: "Mr. Gong, please follow me."

There are a lot of thin bamboos planted in Xiangjun's house, which is already shaded and green.

Gong Mengbi glanced at it, then said: "Da Wu, can you pick some bamboo leaves for me?"

Da Wu said: "Okay, how much do you want sir?"

Gong Mengbi said: "Picking off sixty pieces is enough."

Da Wu glanced at Congzhu, then said in a low voice, "Sorcerers usually like bamboo the most."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "It's okay, I know."

Da Wu took the scissors to cut bamboo leaves, while Gong Mengbi found an auspicious seat, built soil as a platform, and enshrined the goddess of Mount Tai on it.

When Da Wu came in with bamboo leaves in a basket, Gong Mengbi used the leaves as paper to write down the fox talisman calling for all the foxes to gather here, and covered it with the talisman of Fox Zheng.

Gong Mengbi waved to the sky, and the bird descended from the sky and landed in front of the altar.

Gong Mengbi said: "Wenxiu, you remember the route, so I will leave it to you."

Wenxiu let out a long cry, spread his wings, and hid the fox talismans in his feathers. With the flapping of his wings, he rode the long wind and disappeared from Gong Mengbi's sight.

Gong Mengbi's morality is higher now, and it is no longer like Wu Ning County used talismans back then, but it is more authoritative to use talismans now.

Of course, there can't be so many fox spirits hidden in the county town, and about fifty of the sixty bamboo leaves are used up, and most of them are fox spirits in the villages and mountains near the county town.

There are not many fox spirits in the county town, but they are not weak if they dare to live in the county town.It's just that compared to Gong Mengbi, it's not worth mentioning.

When night fell, Da Wu heard the sound of drums.

"The street drum is ringing, and today's curfew is earlier."

Gong Mengbi said: "How brave are you?"

Da Wu said: "It's not bad."

Gong Mengbi said: "Have you seen any monsters?"

Da Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it."

Gong Mengbi smiled and said: "If you haven't seen it, go to rest first, don't look around, I'm going to do something."

Da Wu went into the room and closed the door, but he was always curious and couldn't sleep, so he looked into the courtyard through the window.

The courtyard door was wide open, and Gong Mengbi lit the small golden stove.

The fragrance wafts in the night. Although it is dark in this season, there are still a few deep and magnificent clouds in the sky.

The fragrance seems to fly above the sky, like a lively fox, jumping in the wind.

Suddenly, a dark wind blew, and the fox fire lantern hanging on the courtyard door swayed slightly.

One after another, human figures with a demonic aura flew in from the open courtyard door, and after a while, they were indistinct and filled the entire courtyard.

Da Wu looked out from the crack of the window, covering his mouth and not daring to breathe.

I saw those human-shaped monsters in the courtyard bowing down to Mr. Gong, I could see Mr. Gong speak, but I couldn't hear what he said clearly.

One of the monsters seemed to want to resist, but Mr. Gong glanced at it, and rolled all over the ground, howling.

Mr. Gong pointed to the door and said something, and then he heard those ghosts who couldn't see clearly hold out a ray of flame from the incense burner, turned into a dark wind and went out the door.
