Chapter 173: I'm a Taoist
Xuan Po's mouth also stopped chewing, and he looked at the Rose Taoist as if he had been clicked, watching the Rose Taoist sniffing action.
At first, the Taoist priest did not notice the change in Xuanpo, and still closed his eyes and immersed himself in an ethereal sense of satisfaction, as if no one was around. When they opened their eyes, the Precious Taoist and Xuan Po stared wide-eyed, and they didn't understand what was wrong with each other.
"You, you're eating. Why do you look at me like that? The Taoist priest was also stunned, and he didn't know why Xuan Po suddenly looked at him so surprised. He reached out and touched his face, thinking that there were rice particles sticking to his face.
Xuan Po blinked, looked at the Precious Daoist, and then looked at the rice in front of the Precious Daoist.
The Precious Daoist immediately reacted, slapped his thigh, and laughed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the action just now scared you!" He stood up and tried to take the trembling hand of the mother-in-law. Xuan Po hurriedly dodged.
"You, what did you just do? You, you, are you a ghost? Xuan Po slowly shook her head and said with a short breath, "You are not a Taoist priest, you are a ghost!" Only ghosts eat like this! ”
If the person on the spot were me, I would be stunned. My uncle used to have a bad habit of sniffing before eating. Every time he sniffed unconsciously, his grandmother would knock a chopstick on his head as a warning. Grandma said in a low tone that only the souls of the dead eat like this, like the food provided to the dead, they have to be thrown away, and eating it will hurt the stomach. Because the dead do not eat food, they only sniff it with their mouth and nose to suck out the essence of the food.
There is also a taboo, that is, do not stick the chopsticks vertically on the rice before eating, which is equivalent to telling the potential deceased: this meal is for you to eat. So when you can't see it, maybe some undead will come forward and suck the essence of the meal.
Seeing that Xuan Po's eyes were full of suspicion, the priest hurriedly explained, "You think I'm a ghost? Yes, yes, ghosts do eat offerings like this, but they are not the only ones. ”
"It's not just ghosts? Hmph, that's not the case with people anyway. What the hell are you? You're not a ghost? Then you're the same type of thing as a ghost. Xuan Po asked nervously, and her feet consciously retreated, gradually moving away from the strange Taoist priest opposite.
"Don't be nervous, can you calm down and listen to my explanation?" The Taoist priest waved his hands and tried to calm down Xuanpo. "If I'm a ghost, how can I possibly catch a red-haired ghost with a spell? Think about it, if I'm a ghost, why should I catch my own kind? ”
"How do I know!" Xuan Po shouted loudly, her steps still retreating, ready to rush out at the right time.
"Okay, okay, think about it again, if I were a ghost, I wouldn't have hurt you earlier? Why should I come to you again and again to ask for your help? The Taoist priest tried his best to explain, but from the expression of Xuan Po's unrelieved expression, the effect of persuasion was not obvious.
"Don't lean in!" The frightened Xuan Po pointed at the Precious Taoist priest and shouted.
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to get over. But please listen to me, okay? The Taoist priest clenched his fists and begged Xuanpoyang.
"Just stand there, don't lean over and I'll listen to you. If you come a little longer, I won't listen to your explanation. Xuan Po nervously watched the footsteps of the Taoist priest, and sweat broke out on her forehead. He knew that the self-proclaimed "noble Taoist" in front of him who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost had an extremely complex background, and it also had a very powerful hidden strength. If he decides to catch himself, he won't be able to escape no matter what.
"I'm stopping, I'm not moving, okay?" The Taoist priest reluctantly accepted the request of the mother, "I'm really not a ghost. I didn't lie to you. Please calm down. ”
"Okay, I'm calm now. You say you're not a ghost, well, you say, what are you? The hot-headed Xuan Po took a deep breath.
"I'm really a Taoist, I'm a Precious Taoist. I ......"
Xuan Po waved her hand to interrupt him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Don't say that these are useless. You say that you are a noble Taoist, how do you explain your actions just now? How do you prove that you are a Taoist priest and not a ghost? ”
Daoist Rose also took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Do you think that only ghosts eat like this?" This is how Taoist priests eat. You need to know ......"
Xuan Po interrupted him again: "The Taoist priest is like this? I haven't seen it and I haven't heard of it. At least I know that crooked priests never eat like this. ”
"Crooked Daoist?" The Precious Taoist priest has not met with the crooked Taoist priest, and I don't know who the "crooked Taoist priest" mentioned by Xuan Po is referring to.
"No wonder you kept pushing back when I started calling you to dinner." Xuan Po said.
The priest raised his hands in surrender: "Please listen to my explanation." I don't know who you mean by crooked Taoist, but allow me to tell you that Taoist priests do have this. Like some folk Taoist priests, they only use magic to catch ghosts, but they do not cultivate their own bodies. There is also a kind of Taoist priest who never catches ghosts, they only refine pills and medicines to improve their own cultivation. This kind of Taoist priest has a cultivation technique called Bigu. What I just did was Bigu. ”
"Bigu?" Xuan Po asked. He didn't know whether to trust the person in front of him or not.
The Taoist priest patiently and elaborately explained: "Bigu is also known as broken grain, cut grain, rest grain, but grain, etc., and is characterized by subduing qi instead of eating grains. This cultivation method is also a long-term practice of Taoism, and in the Han Dynasty, there was a Taoist soil to practice this. This method requires Dao Tu to enter cultivation in a disease-free state, first take a little laxative, remove the stagnant things in the abdomen, and then reduce food, gradually reach the valley, do not know the five flavors, and only do three times a day to lie down and take qigong, so that you can not be hungry or hungry. So I just need to smell the rice, and I don't need to eat it at all. ”
"What's the use of Bigu?" Xuan Po asked.
The priest knew that the fact that Xuan Po asked this question proved that he had a tendency to change from not believing to believing. The Taoist priest was busy hitting the railway while it was hot: "There are 'three corpses' in the human body, which can also be called three insects and three peng, which refers to the appetite for food, taste, and color. The three corpses rely on the grain qi to survive, so as long as they don't eat the grains and cut off the grain qi, the three corpses will die, and the evil demons in the human body will be killed, and they can naturally live longer. I don't eat, just to put an end to the interference of the three corpses. ”
Both of them were still for a moment, the tense air slowly melting.
Seeing that Xuan Po didn't speak, the Taoist priest added: "You know, the Yaksha ghost is also called a female pervert, and she is good at seducing men. If I can't suppress my lust, I won't be able to deal with Yakshas. ”
