Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 781 Fox in the Box

Light the incense again and call upon Fairy Qingyao.

Fairy Qingyao never showed up, only the smoke condensed into a file and fell into Gong Mengbi's hands.

After reading the file, it disappeared into thin air again, and Gong Mengbi actually became calmer in his heart.

The stakes are high for him, and he cannot afford to vent his emotions at will. The more furious he is, the more he has to think carefully.

It was not only the fox's cautious nature, but also his responsibility that prevented him from acting rashly. When he came out again, Fu Xin was already waiting outside the fox house.

The skull god hung on his waist, swaying and landing on the ground, he bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Lord."

Gong Mengbi nodded, looked at the dark and windy sky, and said, "It's a good time, let's go."

A strong wind howled from Huziyuan in Wuning County towards Haozhou, like a red star breaking out of the sky.

The Five Ghosts lead the way, not avoiding the obstacles of the Five Elements. Gong Mengbi is in the middle, and Fu Xin follows closely behind. He has to rely on Gong Mengbi's shadow to avoid falling behind.

The Skull God had already sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and he clenched his teeth to avoid saying anything that would offend the Fox Fairy, which would result in bad consequences.

Riding the wind and controlling the air, the whole earth and mountains are at your feet. When you land in Haozhou, it is just after midnight.

The city of Haozhou was closed long ago. Haozhou, with the word "zhou" in its name, was actually a county. Its seat of government was Zhongli County, which was also the location of the ancient Zhongli State.

The five ghosts looked towards the county town and asked, "My lord, are we going to the county town?"

Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "Twelve miles south of the county, Nanhua Village."

"Nanhua Manor?"

Gong Mengbi had already walked forward, with the wind under his feet and only a shadow wandering away.

"There is Haotang Mountain in the south of the county. The East Hao River flows out from here and flows into the Huai River in the northeast. There is a fish-watching platform where the Hao River flows. In the past, Nanhua Zhenren and Huizi watched fish here, and there is a saying that you are not a fish."

"Near the Fish Viewing Terrace is Nanhua Manor. In the manor is the old house of the Cheng family. Let's go there."

As they were talking, Nanhua Manor was already right before their eyes.

"My lord, have you been here before?"

Gong Mengbi stood outside Nanhua Manor and said, "I have never been here. A fox fairy lived in the old house of the Cheng family in the early years. I got the promise from the Cheng family and built the Fox Courtyard here. That's how I got to know this place."

Before today, Gong Mengbi didn't know about this place. It was because of the fox ghost's grief and the Fairy Qingyao's file that Gong Mengbi knew about this place.

"I see."

The five ghosts followed Gong Mengbi's steps and stopped in front of a big house.

The old house of the Cheng family looked very grand in the village, but it was not very popular and looked a bit run-down. After the Cheng family became rich, they were now in the county town, and there was only one old servant in the old house to look after and maintain it.

The old house is locked today and the old servant is gone.

Wugui stood outside the old house and said hesitantly, "My lord, there is no fox spirit in this old house, but there is a bloody smell. Maybe we have come to the wrong place."

Gong Mengbi said: "I didn't find the wrong one."

The five ghosts went forward to open the door. The newly hung peach charms on the door suddenly emitted light. The two gods Yulei and Shentu painted on the peach charms seemed to come alive and look at the five ghosts.

The five ghosts stopped and turned to look at Gong Mengbi.

Gong Mengbi opened his mouth and blew out a breath, which puffed onto the door like a cloud of smoke, and the light of the peach charms dimmed.

The five ghosts blew off the padlock and pushed open the Cheng family's old house.

After passing through the outer wall and entering the house, I saw unwashed blood and claw marks everywhere.

The five ghosts looked serious and their hearts tightened. With just a glance, they knew what tragic thing had happened in the old house.

Gong Mengbi followed in and stood in the old house without saying a word.

Several retainers didn't dare to make a sound, and the Skull God even hid behind Fuxin.

Gong Mengbi was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and all the dried bloodstains fell off, floating in the wind like red sand, and finally turned into the image of a fox and flew out of the old house.

Several people hurriedly followed the fox, leaving Gong Mengbi to look after the Cheng family's old house.

This old house has been cleaned up by Taoism. Originally, Fox Courtyard was a place where foxes stayed for a long time, so it must have left the smell of foxes. And the brutal murder happened, which would leave a strong resentment.

The foxes in the Fox Courtyard might not have high cultivation, but they were all intelligent and spirit foxes. How could they be so clean after being killed? It was nothing more than using the Taoist method to clean up and eliminate the resentful and gloomy aura in the old house.

Gong Mengbi turned around and followed the five ghosts. Soon, the fox transformed from blood stains landed on a low hill outside the village.

When Gong Mengbi arrived, the fox was squatting in front of a newly built earthen grave on a low hill.

When it saw Gong Mengbi coming, the bloody fox was blown away by the night wind, leaving no trace.

"Dig it up." Gong Mengbi ordered.

The five ghosts were about to move the grave when they suddenly cried "Huh?" and instead of moving the grave, they started searching around it.

After a while, the green ghost stepped on a magic circle and revealed the peach wood nailed to the ground.

The green ghost pulled out the peach wood and threw it aside, and evil spirits began to emerge from the grave.

The Five Ghosts found peach wood stakes in other directions. The peach wood stakes circled the earth grave, integrating the earth energy of the low hill and suppressing the earth grave.

As the peach wood stakes were pulled out one by one, the earthen grave suddenly collapsed, revealing a bloody deep pit.

The resentful and evil spirit floated in the earth pit and transformed into an illusory fox head, floating in the air.

Mr. Huang's spiritual soil was sunk deep into the mud, revealing a ferocious fox head with eyes wide open as if they were about to die.

There was only the fox head in this entire pit.

"What a cruel method!" Mr. Huang felt heavy-hearted, and when he looked at Gong Mengbi, he felt even colder in his heart.

Gong Mengbi walked to the edge of the pit, reached out and picked up a fox head in the pit, and stroked it gently.

"Cut off the fox's head, chop off its toes, peel off my skin, and take the pearl from my mouth."

As he spoke, the eyes of the fox heads in the pit all lit up green.

Gong Mengbi blew out smoke, and the smoke lifted the fox's head, turning it into an illusory fox body.

"Go, find the fox toe and the fox body."

There were thirty-seven foxes in total, making long howls and running down the hill.

"Hurry up and follow me!" The Skull God grabbed Fu Xin's belt and urged him to follow quickly, not wanting to stay with Gong Mengbi.

Fu Xin leaped up, blowing in the whistling cold wind, and followed behind the fox corpses.

The five ghosts fell behind and bowed beside Gong Mengbi, saying, "My lord, I mourn for you."

"Who could have done such a cruel thing?"

"Could it be the Cheng family's doing? My Lord, let's go capture the Cheng family and skin them alive!"

The night wind blew Gong Mengbi's clothes. He whispered, "No hurry. Find all the bodies and settle accounts with them slowly."

The five ghosts bowed their heads heavily and followed to look for the remaining fox corpses.

Before long, under the guidance of the fox corpse, the fox's toes were found in a dry well. The mouth of the well was sealed with stone slabs and a forbidden spell was cast with the Eight Diagrams.

After piecing together the fox's toes, they found the fox's body on a sandbank buried by water in the moat. It was wrapped in yellow cloth, covered with talismans, and buried deep in the ground, away from view by the sun or the moon.

The remains of the fox had been found, but except for the head, toes and skin, the entire fox had been skinned and no trace of it could be found.

Gong Mengbi found a box and performed the Vimalakirti Room, and all the Linghu corpses jumped into it.

Thirty-seven fox corpses were hidden in a small box.

Fu Xin spontaneously put the box on his back and looked at Gong Mengbi.

Gong Mengbi said: "Let's go to the county town."

"Exposed rouge bones, tightly sewn soft golden fur coat."

"The rouge bone has been found, but where is the fox bead and the soft golden fur coat?" Gong Mengbi looked towards the county city: "I think the answers are all there."
