The virtual spiritual roots mentioned by Meng Zifei are very ordinary and can barely be cultivated, which is comparable to ordinary spiritual roots.
The virtual spiritual root is a new spiritual root created by its leader after the establishment of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance. It is formed by the gathering of majestic spiritual power. A virtual spiritual root requires a huge amount of materials to maintain the virtual spiritual root. root run.
It seems that Meng Zifei, who is a casual cultivator and is not bound by various forces, joined the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance because of this virtual spiritual root.
However, the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance cannot help but be free, does not force the monks to come and go, and can retreat or advance according to one's own heart.
I think I want to complete the task of this big exam, and after obtaining the corresponding resources, I can still leave in time.
After all, from Fang Geyu's description, there are so many casual cultivators in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance, so it is his best choice.
It's just that Balian couldn't understand how Meng Zifei, who had always advocated freedom, was not bound by all laws, and practiced a free and easy way, would be willing to accept a mortal with no qualifications as his disciple.
And he spent a lot of effort to find her spiritual root.
Meng Zifei was not aware of all the doubts in Baili'an's mind, and continued with a normal expression: "It's a coincidence that three days ago, when Xiaolan and I were on a night trip to the border town of Xianling, we unexpectedly encountered a ghost, that is, Brother Baili That little girl in your arms.
When I found her, I found that her shadow was attached to something, and most of her body was 'eaten' into the shadow. I rescued her smoothly.
But this little girl seemed to be stimulated by something. She was afraid of strangers. As soon as I got close to her, she bit herself. I had no choice but to watch from a distance. She didn't even give her clothes or food, and she treated me like a thief. Just be on guard..."
After saying that, Meng Zifei smiled bitterly, touched his cheek, and said, "Although Mr. Meng is not as good-looking as Brother Si Chen, he is not a vicious person by any means. He is so unpopular with children." , I’m really ashamed.”
Although Meng Zifei was born into a noble family, he was not as arrogant as a young master. He was gentle and approachable to everyone, he was serious but not rigid, and his words were humorous and amusing.
To be fair, Balian didn't find him annoying.
He smiled and said: "Brother Meng is exaggerating. This girl suffered a ghost disaster before, but she was saved by me, so she is relatively close to me and trusts me.
Coupled with the fact that she has been in trouble one after another in recent days, including killings and calamities, which she cannot bear at such a young age, I think she is not only wary of Brother Meng, but also seems to have an inexplicable fear of strangers. "
Meng Zifei frowned: "I have been troubled by ghosts at a young age. I am afraid that I am not haunted by an ordinary ghost."
Bailian said: "Mr. Meng is very knowledgeable, have you ever heard of the rumors about Yougui Lang?"
"Yougui Lang?!" Meng Zifei suddenly lost his voice: "You mean this little girl is being targeted by Yougui Lang?!"
Bai Lian opened Ji San'er's wrist and revealed the incomplete and blurry mark of the three-petal flower.
Meng Zifei lost his voice again, his gentle face became tense, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "This is! The Badge of Animal Sacrifice!"
"The Fierce Ghost Sacrifice Badge?"
Meng Zifei nodded with a heavy expression and said: "Yougui Lang is a three-thousand-year-old fierce ghost who likes to eat people. The more powerful the ghost, the greater its appetite.
Usually, he would imprint a three-petal orange apricot flower with a complete seal on his target, and the person with the imprint would become his ghost sword, killing people and gaining luck for him.
The incomplete one is the animal sacrifice seal, which means like comparing one's prey to domestic animals, stamping one's own seal on it, and you can take it anytime you want to eat it. "
Speaking of this, Meng Zifei's fearful eyes couldn't help but reveal a touch of hatred and displeasure, and continued: "There is also a third kind of mark, which is the ghost marriage mark. It is a three-petal blood-red apricot flower, usually at the same time. , hitting the two men and women in the city.
Once a woman in the city has this mark on her body, it means that she is favored by a ghost ghost. It is also a kind of announcement. Seven days later, a fierce ghost will come to deliver a sedan chair and a horse. The woman rides in a sedan and the man rides a horse to go to the ghost's new house together. If the two families refuse, they will be in misfortune! "
Bai Lian was very puzzled: "Since Youguilang is interested in his daughter's house in the city, why does he want a man?"
Meng Zifei breathed out a breath, waved the dust fly in his arm, smiled leisurely, and said: "Because the ghost man wants to be the groom and have a night of fun, but he is a ghost and has no physical body, so he needs to be placed in the body of a man. Only then can you marry a human woman."
Bai Lian's eyes gradually turned cold.
Meng Zifei sighed and said: "Anyone who is chosen by Ghost Ghost Lang will die. After the bridal ceremony is completed overnight, the man possessed by Ghost Ghost Lang will strangle the woman to death, and the man's body will be Abandoned and eaten by other imps.”
The contempt in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This Ghost Man is the most violent and disgusting ghost I have ever seen since I started teaching."
The bright moon was like frost, and the cold light fell on Bailian's clean face. He had a pure expression and peaceful eyes. He asked calmly: "Three thousand years of evil spirits, does Mr. Meng know what kind of cultivation he has today?"
He asked casually, and Meng Zifei answered unpreparedly: "The evil ghosts are not as good as humans in cultivating the path. It may be difficult for three thousand years of evil ghosts to survive the catastrophe, but this ghost ghost man can't be sure, because on the day of his tragic death, it was One step is about to pass through the tribulation. I have lived as a ghost for three thousand years, and I am afraid that I have already passed through the tribulation of ghosts."
With that said, Meng Zifei sighed again and looked up at the city that never sleeps, with regret and loss in his eyes.
"I don't understand. The Immortal City that never sleeps in such a prosperous age is supposed to be the cleanest holy place in the world, but for such ghosts to run rampant. The Emperor and the Queen would actually sit back and watch?"
The wind blows and the snow falls, and there are flakes of snow.
Under the white snow at night, Balian's pale face was enveloped in a thin layer of snow, and his dark eyes were indifferent and peaceful.
He suddenly asked: "Brother Meng, I wonder if you have ever seen the sea."
Meng Zifei was stunned for a moment, and then he pretended to be asking for advice humbly: "I would like to hear the details."
"There is a huge giant clam in the sea. This clam's shell is extremely hard and can withstand the bites of snapping turtles, sharks and other predators. Therefore, there will be many weak fish and shrimps hiding in the clam. Survive in the shell.
This giant clam is too big and contains abundant seaweed, which can support the survival of fish and shrimps. Fish and shrimps come in crazy numbers. However, as the number of fish and shrimps increases, the food that can be eaten decreases day by day, and the fish and shrimps will compete with each other. Even massacre. "
Meng Zifei was silent for a long time and looked at Bai Lian deeply, as if he did not expect that the young man with a gentle personality would actually say such remarks.
The outline of Bailian's face was reflected in the winter snow, and his voice became colder: "The giant clam was built in the sea, and no fish or shrimps were invited to live in it. For the giant clam, these fish and shrimps are uninvited. Come, eat the rich seaweed food in its body, and fatten itself.
But for the giant clam, although it has not driven away the fish and shrimp, it has no obligation to protect them. All things have their own laws of survival.
Fish and shrimps raise themselves in their own enclosures, and are not afraid of external dangers in their comfort. However, although fish and shrimps are small, they also have sharp teeth and pincers. They will kill each other among the giant clams, leaving dirt everywhere.
In this way, filth and turbidity will be born from the corpse of death. Over the years, unclean things will be deposited and grown in the clean clam shells. This unclean thing inherits cause and effect and has desires. , which will in turn decompose the fish and shrimps in it. "
