Maybe I have encountered too many outrageous things in recent times, and I am no longer surprised that Master Meng suddenly turned into an old man.
Especially after seeing him take action last night, those methods have long been beyond my understanding. Even if Taoist Meng tells me now that he is not a human being, I will not be surprised.
So I didn't ask any more questions, because I was a little thirsty just after I woke up, and there happened to be a mountain stream next to me, so I walked over and squatted down to get some water.
But as soon as I took a mouthful of spring water, I was stimulated by the cold and refreshing feeling. I felt hungry instantly and my stomach growled a few times. It felt quite uncomfortable. I asked Daozhang Meng if there was anything in this room.
Something to eat?
Meng Daochang rolled his eyes at me and said no, he had finished the two roast chickens last night.
I shook my head and said that I didn't want to eat chicken. I could just deal with anyone who stuttered. But Master Meng still shook his head and said no, he didn't have anything to eat.
I opened my eyes wide and asked if Taoist Meng and I were fooling around here. There wasn’t even a vegetable market in this deep mountain and forest, so why didn’t we prepare some food and drink from the northwest wind?
But Taoist Meng actually looked at me like I was an idiot and asked me if I knew what Bigu was?
Bigu?
I'm a little confused. I feel like he's chatting with me here. Isn't bigu something that only exists in mythical novels? If such a thing really exists, how should the law of conservation of energy be explained?
I asked Taoist Meng, do you mean you don’t have to eat anything? Then why do you want me to buy chicken and wine?
Taoist Meng said that he was not a god, but he also had a craving for food. He drank alcohol and ate meat because he was greedy. Besides, fasting did not mean that he would not eat anything. He was all mortal. If he did not eat anything, where would the energy come from?
I asked him again, didn’t you say you don’t have anything to eat? Could it be that all you eat are wild vegetables? But there are no wild vegetables in the mountains in this winter.
But Taoist Meng did not answer directly. Instead, he asked me, "Do you know what ghosts eat?"
To be honest, I don’t know much about ghosts, but thinking about the female ghost named Liu Ying, I tentatively answered him: "Ghosts are supposed to eat human spirit, right?"
Meng Daozhang shook his head: "Wrong, not all ghosts can harm people. Human energy is like a full banquet to ghosts. You can't eat it more than once in your life, because if you harm more people, there will naturally be people coming down there."
deal with you.
And those tributes and the like are meant to improve life for ghosts, just like having a barbecue or a hot pot meal once in a while, which is not uncommon, but it doesn't happen every day.
What ghosts really eat is the energy of Taiyin in this world."
After he said these words, I was instantly shocked. Just as I was about to speak, I was interrupted by Daozhang Meng waving his hand.
Then Meng Daozhang said that he was right. The Taiyin he was talking about was the Taiyin in my soul. The soul contaminated with the energy of Taiyin will be born stronger than ordinary ghosts after death.
Such ghosts are usually collected by the subordinates, and some who are particularly disobedient will turn into evil spirits that are more powerful than that evil spirit, and in the end they often end up in disarray.
Ghosts are naturally afraid of yang energy and are close to yin energy, and the moon is the lunar energy. Therefore, many people who have seen ghosts and monsters often describe pictures of them meditating under the moonlight, swallowing the lunar energy in the world, and filling their stomachs at the same time.
It can also increase one's own cultivation.
Listening to what he said, a lot of doubts in my head were cleared up, so I asked Taoist Meng that ghosts eat yin energy, but people eat yang energy? So you also live by eating yang energy?
"Well, I have some understanding."
Taoist Meng nodded, then he pointed to the empty seat beside him and asked me to sit next to him and give it a try.
Nine years of compulsory education told me that this was simply superstitious and unreliable, but I still sat down with doubts. Then I saw Taoist Meng opening his mouth in the sunshine with a comfortable expression on his face.
Is this possible? Just soaking in the sun will fill your stomach?
I still felt that what I said was a bit outrageous, but I was really hungry at that time, and maybe out of curiosity, I also tried to imitate Taoist Meng's actions and open my mouth.
But I closed my eyes and opened my mouth stupidly for a long time, but I didn't feel the slightest change. I just felt a little warm on my body, which was not much different from the usual sunbathing.
I was thinking that this old boy couldn't be teasing me, right?
I opened my eyes and glanced at Daozhang Meng with some confusion, only to find that his Adam's apple was moving, which was obviously a swallowing movement.
Is it possible that this food is like eating and has to be swallowed?
Anyway, I had accomplished this step, so I didn’t think much about it. I opened my mouth toward the sun and took a swallow. As soon as I finished this action, I felt a strange feeling.
It wasn't a feeling of fullness. I didn't feel anything entering my intestines and stomach, but a warm breath spread quickly and permeated my whole body in an incredible way.
Immediately afterwards, the original strong hunger suddenly subsided, and every time I swallowed, the hunger disappeared a little bit.
Isn't this amazing?
I felt ecstatic for a moment, thinking that if drinking the northwest wind could make me full, wouldn’t I be able to save money on food in the future? Then wouldn’t there be hope of buying a house and marrying a wife?
When I thought about it again, I felt that I was a bit too loser. This was obviously the method of cultivation taught to me by Taoist Meng, but the first thought that came to my mind was to save money.
But you can't blame me for this. The main reason is that my life in the past few years was really hard. I had no car, no house, no hope. In fact, I have also returned home, and according to Wu Hao, my family's conditions should be pretty good, but now I
I really don’t dare to go back. What if my parents are involved?
I was just thinking wildly while inhaling the Yang Qi mentioned by Meng Daozhang. After a while, I felt that my whole body was full of strength, and the feeling of hunger had completely disappeared.
At this moment, Qingqing's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Hey, Gu Yan, you are very efficient. You just practiced it one night?"
I quickly turned around and found that Qingqing had appeared behind me at some point and was looking at me with her head tilted. I called her and said, you are finally back. Come and practice with me. This thing will feel comfortable after practicing for a while.
Qingqing just "hummed" and said, I don't care about practicing this thing, you can practice it yourself.
Taoist Meng also said next to him: "She practices at night, and if you let her inhale Yang Qi, it's no different than standing naked in the snow at minus 30 degrees Celsius."
After he said this, I blinked a few times. What does this mean? Aren't ghosts practicing at night? Is Qingqing a ghost? But Taoist Master Meng just said last night that she is a human being.
I was a little confused, but Qingqing was obviously angry. She pointed at Taoist Meng and said, shut up, stinky old man, does that show how much you know?
Taoist Meng did not refute, just smiled and shook his head.
I saw that the two of them were about to fight again, so I quickly stood up and told Qingqing that he was...
But as soon as these words came out, she was interrupted by Qingqing. She said in that impatient tone that I know who he is. Isn't it the one named Meng?
She couldn't stand it, so I scratched my head and told her, you just know what you were doing this night, it took you so long to come back.
"I went to see the old lady Bai to help her collect medicine to heal her injuries. She was seriously injured and couldn't come to see you. When asked why she helped you, she didn't say anything."
After saying this, Qingqing stretched out her hand and said, "But she asked me to give this thing to you."
