"Then just knock the dates off, why eat them?" the black-robed emperor asked.
The man in white replied: "The soul-stirring jujube tree grows by sucking the ghosts from the Wangchuan River. The jujubes are the essence bred by it, so every jujube contains rich soul energy, which can be nourished by eating it." Our ghosts and ghost bodies.”
After hearing this, all the ghost cultivators' eyes suddenly brightened up, and they all turned to look at the two fruit-laden jujube trees, their eyes shining with greedy light.
"It's a pity..." The man in white suddenly sighed.
"What's a pity?" A ghost cultivator asked.
They can't wait to pick dates.
"It's a pity that when the dates of the soul-stirring jujube tree are half a cup of tea away from the tree, the soul energy will dissipate and cannot be preserved for a long time. They can only be picked and eaten, unless you have the means in the time domain to seal them with the power of time. It is said that they can be sealed with the power of time. Emperor Fengdu used the power of time to seal the soul-reducing dates, and he likes to make tea with the soul-reducing dates."
The corner of Emperor Fengdu's eyes on the bridge twitched slightly.
"Pick it and eat it, pick it and eat it."
A ghost cultivator yelled and rushed to the jujube tree first, picked a big, round and red jujube tree and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it into pieces, it was crispy and sweet, and he swallowed it into his stomach. He really felt a soul energy coming out. It is immediately absorbed by the body.
Although it is not as strong as the man in white said, it does have an effect.
After the ghost cultivator tasted it, his eyes lit up. He immediately picked the best ones and stuffed them into his mouth. He didn't have time to spit out the date cores, so he chewed them together and swallowed them.
When the other ghost cultivators saw the expression and reaction of that ghost cultivator, they knew that the dates must be good things. They immediately stopped hesitating and rushed forward in a swarm, picking them and eating them as they went.
If there were only a few people picking the jujubes, there might be some who would take their time to taste the jujubes, but thousands of people were vying for them around the jujube trees. They were all so obsessed with it that they had no time to taste the jujubes. They had to eat them first.
As for the dead bones and rotting corpses under the jujube trees, they didn't care at all.
The black-robed emperor also stepped forward to pick a few and tasted them, then nodded. He felt that the taste of the dates was crisp and sweet, and indeed contained soul energy. If he could use the power of time to seal some, he could take out a few and soak them on weekdays. Tea is not bad either.
It's a pity that he doesn't understand the power of time.
He did not fight with the ghost cultivators because the soul energy contained in one or two dates was too little and had little effect on his cultivation level. Moreover, he could not bear to take over an entire jujube tree and devour it himself. So I had to give up.
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the ghost cultivators who were as black as sparrows, grabbing dates from two jujube trees, and couldn't help asking Po Meng worriedly: "Grandma, is what that guy said true?"
Po Meng shook her head with a smile and responded softly: "It's pure nonsense."
"That's good." Zhang Xiaozhu felt relieved after hearing this.
"Grandma, I remember when we first met that day, you invited us to eat dates. Do these dates have any special effects?" Niu Dawa suddenly remembered the scene of meeting Po Meng for the first time, and asked curiously.
Po Meng replied: "Ghost cultivating food can indeed nourish ghosts and ghost bodies, but eating it for you Yang people has no effect, and eating too much will be bad. I invite you to eat dates, just for fun. You guys. Haven't you heard a saying, Mrs. Wang sells her own melons and boasts of herself?"
Niu Dawa and Zhang Xiaozhu burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Grandma, why did that guy let them eat dates? Is there any purpose?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in confusion.
He found that the man in white was also picking dates and eating them. While eating, he shouted loudly to tell other ghost cultivators not to fight with him. But it was okay if he didn't yell. The more he yelled, the more fierce the ghost cultivators were in fighting for them.
"Pawn, quietly make some waves in the formation." Po Meng ordered in a low voice.
Zhang Xiaozu understood what Meng Po meant, retracted his left hand into his sleeve, and quietly performed a secret.
The forbidden light curtain of the hospital array suddenly began to fluctuate irregularly, giving people a feeling that the energy was unstable and about to dissipate.
The black-robed emperor's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw this, and he couldn't help but urge loudly: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, the formation is about to break!"
Seeing the excited look of the black-robed emperor, Zhang Xiaopou suppressed his laughter.
"It is rumored that if anyone can eat all the dates on the jujube tree, the jujube tree will grant him a wish." Po Meng whispered in response to Zhang Xiaozu's question.
Zhang Xiaozhu frowned when he heard this and said: "With so many people eating together, who gets to eat them all?"
"It should be whoever eats more gets it. Look at that guy, he eats so much." Niu Dawa pointed at the man in white and said.
The man in white ate really hard, eating more than any other ghost cultivator.
What Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa didn't know was that while eating the dates, the man in white was cursing them both viciously in his heart.
Because there were originally a lot of ghost cultivators, he only needed to eat a little more to get the first place. However, more than half of the ghost cultivators were killed by Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa. If he wanted to get the first place, he had to eat to death. .
In fact, what he wanted to scold the most was the two jujube trees. He blamed them for being tall and strong. Why did they produce so many jujubes? No one liked to eat them.
If he only had a small knot, he could settle it with just one mouthful, so why go to such trouble.
But he wanted two jujube trees, so he didn't dare to scold them. Not only did he not dare, but he had to be as pious and respectful to them as possible.
Thousands of people gathered around the jujube tree and it took a full stick of incense to eat all the jujubes on the jujube tree. All the ghost cultivators had their bellies as big as drums and were satisfied.
The man in white hugged his swollen belly and felt that the dates were stuck in his throat, and the dates would pop out even if he burped.
He walked around the date trees several times, and after confirming that not a single date had fallen on the two trees, he showed a satisfied smile on his face.
when!
The black-robed emperor was filled with excitement and slashed his sword at the unstable restricted light screen.
He thought he could cut through the guarding formation with one sword, but the result was a shock that made his sword-holding hand hurt, and the restricted light curtain remained extremely strong.
"What's going on?" He frowned suddenly, looked at the man in white, and asked: "Didn't you say that after eating the dates on the jujube tree, the formation will collapse? The dates on the tree have been eaten, but Why is this formation still there?”
The man in white didn't pay attention to the black-robed emperor. Instead, he held his bulging belly with both hands and shook it vigorously, up and down and back and forth dozens of times. The bulging belly gradually disappeared.
"What do I want to ask you?" the black-robed emperor shouted angrily.
The man in white then raised his eyelids to look at the black-robed emperor and replied with a smile: "The reason is very simple... I lied to you."
"..." The black-robed emperor never expected that the man in white would answer so directly, so he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately became furious and stabbed the man in white with his sword.
Zheng!
The man in white unsheathed his sword, and a ray of moonlight flashed across the sky.
puff!
The white sword blade pierced the black-robed emperor's eyebrows and penetrated his head.
"you……"
The black-robed emperor stared at the man in white in disbelief, wondering how his sword struck him.
But the sword energy of the man in white immediately erupted in his sea of consciousness, instantly strangling the consciousness of the black-robed emperor and sending him to his death.
