The mountain gate where Xuanmiao Sect is located is on the volcano in the center and is not included in the three districts.
Wei Mansion is located in a residential area. To return to the mountain, you must climb the volcano.
When a person walks to a higher place, he can see the general situation of the island below from a condescending position.
There are usually elderly people and children walking in and out of the residential area, but now there are a lot fewer of them.
There are fewer people wandering around in the business district, and some shops are even closed.
On the other hand, in the dock area, there were more ships coming and going than usual. The dock also added floating checkpoints to audit all ships entering and exiting.
There are constantly martial arts masters from other mountains flying around on the sea, skimming the water, and coming and going from various inspection ships.
Not long after, Wei He entered the mountain gate, returned to the inner mountain, and found his senior sister Yao Wan eating something in the inexplicable underground palace.
In the underground palace, in addition to the basic various trading stalls, there are also a few small shops that serve real animal dishes.
Real beasts are existences that most people cannot touch. If they are not Minggan, they cannot even be seen or touched, let alone processed into ingredients for cooking.
As for the small shop here, it is obvious that the chefs who cook must be real people.
A real person came to cook. If this kind of thing happened outside, it would be really shocking.
But here, it really doesn’t matter. Anyway, Minggan has a long lifespan, and many real people who come here to extend their lifespan do whatever they want as time goes by.
Although the shop is small, it has specially set up private rooms.
Because real people have extremely strong senses, the private rooms are made of special stones, and sealed doors are also set up to prevent the sound of voices from spreading out.
Wei He asked several senior brothers from the Suoshan lineage, and after searching around, he found it here.
When entering the store.
Yao Wan was sitting and eating with another woman.
"Come on, come on, let's have something together." Yao Wan's body exuded a strong smell of medicine, and one of his hands was wrapped in a bandage and hung in front of him.
At this time, he was holding chopsticks in one hand and eating happily.
In addition, that woman also had the mark of the Suoshan lineage on her body, and her eating habits were much more elegant than hers.
"Senior sister, I'm very interested, but your injuries are so severe that you haven't recovered yet?" Wei He walked into the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
"It's mostly healed, but isn't it because I'm afraid of the ghost wind? I'm overstretched, so I can only use this method to buffer it temporarily.
What, you have something to do with me? If you were fine, you would never think of going out to look for someone." Yao Wan had been secretly following Wei He for so long, so she knew him well.
"Senior sister is joking. Who is this senior sister?" Wei He looked at the woman aside.
"She is Cheng Wan, you can also call her Sister Cheng, or you can also call her Wan Xuan. She and I have been old friends for decades, and she is an old man of the Guishou lineage." Yao Wan introduced.
"This guy is Wei He. I was ordered by my senior sister to guard the newcomer secretly for a year." She turned around and introduced him to the woman.
"I've heard that a new monster who can kill two real-life monsters while still practicing his dirty tricks." The woman chuckled, "It's better to meet him than to be famous."
She smiled and nodded to Wei He.
"Senior Sister, you are overly praised. That's all luck." Wei He said helplessly, "By the way, I came here to ask, Senior Sister Yao, what kind of world do you see after your eyes are super-sensory? Can you give me a question?
Shall I tell you?"
"What? Are you disgusted as soon as you go out?" Yao Wan suddenly showed a gloating expression. Cheng Wan on the side also couldn't laugh or cry.
Even at such an old age, you still act like a child,
"I really hate the accident." Wei He nodded.
"Accidents are all right. That's why we need to super-sense our eyes immediately, because the dangers and threats our eyes see are more specific and more numerous."
Yao Wan smiled.
"Even if you look up the information on these things, you won't be able to find records. Many of them are passed down from word of mouth in our sect. As your senior sister, I will explain it to you after I finish eating."
Yao Wan had been embarrassed in front of Wei He before and was shocked and fainted by him. Yao Wan was suffocating in his heart.
Now, finally, there is a chance to regain the situation with Wei He.
She felt much happier. While inviting Wei He to sit down and eat, she poured all the two dishes on the table into her own big bowl.
Wei He and Cheng Wan were both speechless.
Picking up the plate, Yao Wan licked up all the soup.
"The ingredients in this shop are all real animal meat, the knife skills are top-notch, and the taste is great. Wei He, you have to learn to enjoy it.
Spending hundreds of years in your life just practicing hard will have no future. You will not be able to bear it. People must learn how to relax and how to relax.”
While she was eating, she took the opportunity to brainwash Wei He.
"What's the use of just eating Bigu Dan? It's just something you eat occasionally when you go out. Although it can last a whole day, it's rich in content, but it's unpalatable!"
The Bigu Pill that Yao Wan mentioned is something that everyone can receive for free after becoming an official real person and entering the inner mountain.
There is nothing in the inner mountain and the exterior scene, but in the inexplicable underground palace in the inner scene, you can get free Bigu Pills that are fused with the flesh and blood of real animals.
This elixir tastes terrible, so not many people receive it. More real people like to go out and taste various delicacies.
Ordinary real animal flesh and blood is nothing rare to them, it can be found everywhere.
Anyway, many real beasts are large in size and preserved using special methods. One can be eaten for a long time.
In every sect mission, you can always get a lot.
Speaking of which, Wei He now knew that the real people he had beaten to death suddenly turned into ashes after death, instead of disappearing.
Rather, some are completely alienated, integrated into the real world, and invisible.
Some were devoured by real beasts passing by and disappeared.
"Thank you, senior sister. I just don't want to waste time eating." Wei He replied politely.
"What a waste of time! If you open your super-sensory eyes, you will have less to eat in the future.
Except for these small shops in Neishan, if you look at the food outside, you won’t even want to eat it. Just the floating objects are enough to make you suffer.”
"Floating objects?" Wei He paused, "Is that what I saw, the fluff and powder covering everything?"
"Yes. That kind of thing is everywhere. You can see it everywhere. The evil you see is just the most basic superficial floating matter. This kind of thing is called microorganism in some places outside the Great Yuan.
It means tiny living objects. I think this term is very appropriate."
Yao Wan quickly devoured the big bowl in front of him, moving like a wind and a cloud.
Then he took out the silk scarf and wiped his mouth.
"Microorganisms are very common. Some are harmful and some are harmless. Don't worry about it. What you need to worry about is ghost wind." She looked up at Wei He with a hint of solemnity.
"You must have seen the white smoke that the ghost wind takes away from ordinary people, right?"
"Yes, what is that?" Wei He nodded.
"That's life energy!" Cheng Wan said from the side.
"Fate Qi?"
"Let Cheng Wan speak on this point. They are from the Guishou lineage, and their main practice involves life energy. So they are most familiar with this aspect." Yao Wan tilted his head and motioned towards Cheng Wan.
"Then I'll trouble Senior Sister Cheng." Wei He clasped his fists and listened attentively.
"You're welcome, Yao Wan and I have been friends for decades, it doesn't matter." Cheng Wan said with a quiet smile.
"The so-called life energy is what our Taoist sect believes is the unit of measurement for the total number of lifespans that every living being is born with."
In one sentence, she first determined the definition.
"Our physical body is a container, a delicate structure similar to a carriage mechanism.
Such a physical body, from materials to structure, will have a limit of use as soon as it is born. This limit is our destiny.
Fate determines the maximum time that our physical body can be used. What keeps the physical body running is life energy."
She looked at the thoughtful Wei He and continued with a smile: "This is the origin of what people always like to say is destiny.
Destiny is determined by fate. Before embarking on martial arts, how long an ordinary person can live is already determined."
"Life Qi is consumed every moment. It is the core of running the body. If it decreases, it means that we are heading towards death."
"And the white energy you saw before was taken away by the ghost wind, which is caused by the life energy resisting the ghost wind."
"But can ordinary people also be exposed to ghost wind?" Wei He frowned.
"Of course they can come into contact with it. It's just that they don't know it. Just because they can't sense it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Many years ago, a Taoist master once made such a statement.
He said: If living beings are born without being disturbed by disasters, then the life span of human beings should be thousands of years."
"The master, through careful research and exploration, discovered that the longest life span of a human being should be one thousand years.
But because after birth, disaster damage and various consumptions all require the consumption of lives to resist.
Even simply changing oneself and adapting to the environment requires life energy.
So, he came up with this statement.”
"It makes sense." Wei He nodded, but in his mind he was connected with the theoretical knowledge of the scientific system in his previous life.
Although he is not a biology major, he still knows a lot of basic common sense.
"So, the biggest difference between our true strength warriors and Wu's true blood lies in this." Cheng Wan said softly.
"We try to prolong and protect life energy as much as possible. Even if we replenish life energy, we rely on our own practice and self-replenishment.
The true blood path relies directly on external objects. They integrate the long-lived and powerful true beast bloodline. Integrating into themselves, borrowing the fate of other species, integrating into themselves, they are neither humans nor ghosts. "
Speaking of this, Cheng Wan also sighed.
This is the world she sees from the perspective of a ghost.
They are all different from the several systems Wei He has heard of before, but they lead to the same goal through different paths, and there are many things in common.
"So, those of us who practice martial arts and Taoism are not actually replenishing our life energy at all, but reducing the consumption of life energy and saving the life span that should belong to us." Yao Wan concluded at the side.
"Then, are there any questions?" She looked at Wei He. "Anyway, we've started talking. All these common sense things have been explained here. It won't take long."
"One more thing." Wei He nodded. "How long is the normal interval between moments of concentration?"
"What? Do you want to settle down again as soon as possible?" Yao Wan was stunned.
"Yes, I have this idea." Wei He nodded.
"Okay, for you, the first two levels are not a problem." Yao Wan nodded, "This is very easy, you just need to keep the super sense on. When to settle down, it depends on you.
People are eager to wait as long as possible, and they delay it until they can no longer seal off their super senses, and have been penetrated by the ghost wind for too long, and then they have to fix their senses a second time.
You are a bachelor, and you have just finished feeling it once, and then you immediately think about it again."
Yao Wan looked at Wei He like a monster.
"Do you think that with your current situation, you won't encounter any danger?"
"" Wei He didn't say anything, he did have this idea in his mind.
"But you know." Yao Wan's face became solemn, "The more times you fixate, the more dangers you can see.
You have just settled down for the first time now, and you have only seen the most superficial things. And the further back you go, the deeper the contact, the greater the danger you can touch.
There are many, and they are even more harmful than the ghost wind!"
"Just talking can't change anything." Cheng Wan on the side said softly, "Since you, Wei He, are an important seed of the Suoshan lineage, let's just ask Senior Sister Yuanduzi to help you temporarily sense the key, and then you will know the key."
"This is usually a treatment that only comes after five confirmations." Yao Wan was a little worried that Wei He wouldn't be able to bear it.
"You can ask Senior Sister Yuandu Zi to make the decision in person." Cheng Wan said softly.
At their level, the entire Xuanmiao Sect's circle is actually very small, with only a dozen or so people in total.
They were all old friends or acquaintances. Wei Heshuan was a new face who suddenly broke in over the years.
When the other newcomers on the same level as him were still teaching the exercises, step by step, and carefully trying to settle down once, he had already left his own level.
He broke into high-level circles in one leap.
"That's okay. Now, you may be able to try to walk freely with the super sense." Yao Wan thought for a moment and agreed seriously.
