Chapter 10 The Problem of Eating

Among the thousands of ghosts in Lingyatai, there are only three Yin Si Realm, that is, the three of them are in charge, and the others are all sixth-level ghost chamen in the Evil Ghost Realm, in addition to the ghost cha, there are more than a hundred maids, and among the three Yin Si Realm, Zhang Qian is the strongest one among the three, and he is in charge of everything in Lingyatai.

Usually Zhang Qian doesn't care about things, he basically stays in the retreat and concentrates on cultivation, and things are handed over to the two adjutants, the most important thing in Huangquan is his own strength, and all other external factors have to stand aside, after all, life can be enjoyed.

"Take your seats."

There was a maid waiting next to every seat, Ouyang Xue was no exception, she looked at this maid, and then looked at the other maids, and found that these maids were not bad, and what made her strange was that she could see that these maids were not ghosts, but spirits.

"Please take a seat." The maid saluted.

Ouyang Xue nodded and sat down, the various decorations in this hall, including the seat she was sitting in now, were a bit like the Han Dynasty.

After Zhang Qian sat down on the throne, he said, "Everyone...... Zhang is hospitable, so there is this party, you don't have to be restrained, just eat and chat with old friends who haven't seen you for many years, and you can ask me if you don't understand anything. ”

"Lord Zhang is polite, we have just entered the Yellow Spring, and we don't know much about the things in the Yellow Spring, and I hope that Lord Zhang will solve our doubts."

"Yes, yes, I heard those who went back to the Yang world say that Huangquan is too dangerous, and that there are many opportunities, but they don't say much, it really makes me very curious."

"Ask Lord Zhang to tell me one or two."

The ghosts and monsters are also climbing up along the bamboo poles, they are the same as Ouyang Xue, they are all unfamiliar with the things of Huangquan, every year in the Midyear Festival, the ghosts and ghosts in the yang world are not talking much about the things in Huangquan, but finally there are some chatty ghosts, but they can't help but not speak, but they say a lot of things about Huangquan, but they stop and don't say more when they come to a key issue, which causes the ghosts and ghosts in the yang world to be very curious about Huangquan.

In fact, many ghosts go down to the Yellow Spring, except for a small part, most of them are forced to be helpless, because the life span of the Yellow Spring Mouth is not long, only a few short years, the length of time is also different, whenever a Yellow Spring Mouth dissipates, it will immediately brush out a new one, each Yellow Spring Mouth will give birth to a Yellow Spring Stone, the grade of the Yellow Spring Stone is also not fixed, but basically the Yellow Spring Stone bred is the Yin Si Realm, and the higher grades are difficult to breed.

It is conceivable that there are actually a lot of yin realms in the yang world, but the territory in the yang world is so big, every time there is one more yin realm, there will inevitably be disputes, this has nothing to do with hatred, it is completely to grab resources, and the purpose is naturally to survive.

The loser was either killed or forced to flee to Huangquan, although Huangquan is in danger, but at least there is still a way to live.

"Don't worry, even if you don't mention it, I will tell you about Huangquan." Zhang Qian said to a maid beside him: "Serve." ”

"Serving?"

Ouyang Xue was puzzled, ghosts can still eat? She's been a ghost for a month, but she's never felt hungry, since she's not hungry, why do you want to eat, the question is what the ghost eats?

Ouyang Xue was about to ask the female ghost next door to her, but at this moment, she saw many maids pushing food carts in, and then it was the same process as the Yangjian Restaurant, with dishes on the small tables in various positions, and even vegetables and fruits and snacks after the meal.

"It's ...... It's true? ”

Ouyang Xue can see without touching it that these meals on the table are no different from the meals eaten by people, if you have to say that there are different places, it can only be that the things eaten are different, such as the chicken, duck and fish meat eaten by people, which naturally become the native species of Huangquan here.

Ouyang Xue curiously rubbed one of the meat dishes with her hand, this should be made of a plate of bird creatures, like a white chicken, it was divided into pieces, and even the bird's head was retained, she couldn't see the appearance of this bird before it was born, but just look at the sharp beak and claws of this bird, it was also a bird of prey before its death.

"Honorable guest, the slave will pour you wine."

A maid said that when she had poured the wine, the other tables would be the same as her table.

Zhang Qian raised his glass at this time and said: "Everyone, it is also fate that we can have dinner together, Zhang Mou will do it first, everyone is free." ”

The host drank it, and as a guest, he naturally couldn't help but drink it, Ouyang Xue took the small wine glass, looked at the turbid liquid inside, and didn't know what kind of wine it was, let alone how to drink it.

Ouyang Xue peeked at the female ghost next door, only to see her raise her glass and drink it in her mouth, when the wine glass was put down, the liquid in the cup was gone, obviously she really drank it.

Ouyang Xue also did the same, after she drank the turbid liquid in her mouth, she realized that this was not actually a liquid, to be precise, it should be some kind of energy substance, she didn't know what it was at the moment, but after drinking it, the taste did make her feel the same as drinking real wine.

Next, I naturally tasted the local dishes of Huangquan, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, put it in my mouth and chewed it, and the piece of meat turned into some kind of energy and entered her soul body, this feeling is exactly the same as the feeling of people eating, even the taste is so real, there is no illusory feeling at all.

Ouyang Xue tasted several dishes in a row, and seemed to have returned to the feeling of being a human being, although these things were not to fill her stomach, but mentally, she still enjoyed it very much.

Ouyang Xue quietly gestured to the maid to let her approach, and said, "What are these dishes made of?" ”

The maid didn't show any surprised expression, but explained the origin of these dishes to Ouyang Xue very seriously.

Normally, ghosts don't need to eat, because there is no hunger, naturally there is no need to eat, but I don't know when it began, when worshipping the ancestors, someone came up with the idea of using food to worship, it is said that the ancestor dreamed to the descendants that he was hungry, let him get something to eat, so the descendants took things to worship the next day, and then gradually developed into such a tradition.

When the ghost eats the sacrifice, what he eats is not the real thing, but the essence of the sacrifice, and the food that has been eaten by the ghost seems to be intact, but in fact, the essence inside has already been eaten by the ghost, and the rest is just dregs.

Later, considering that the descendants were busy with mundane affairs, and did not have time to prepare tributes every day, they changed to eat incense, and when the incense smelled, the ghost felt that he was very full, simple and convenient, in fact, the incense burned out is a kind of belief of people, as well as blessings, prayers, curses, etc., these invisible faith power.

I don't know who discovered that incense can be collected and stored, and then found that these incense can be fabricated at will into various shapes, so it gradually developed into a dish that can now be eaten by ghosts.

It is not enough to have the appearance of vegetables, it has to be delicious, so some people caught some weak creatures in the Yellow Spring, and used part of their souls combined with incense to create many new species and plants, these species are like human captive meat, pork, sheep, etc., just for eating, without thought, without fear and joy, and without any other effect.

Incense is so important, naturally there are ghosts and ghosts who pay attention, so there are ghosts in the yang world who specialize in collecting incense and then selling it to merchants from Huangquan.

After Ouyang Xue figured out all the ways and tricks, she also ate a lot, feeling like she was a person again, and she was invited to participate in this dinner this time, and there were quite a lot of benefits.
