Chapter 23: The Gluttonous Senior

  Gao Feng remembered that the last time he came, he saw a small black dog running by, which was very similar to this one. He didn't know if there was any connection between them. Gao Feng shook his head and continued up the mountain, but he couldn't help thinking of the impression he had when he saw the black dog last time. It really looked like the original form of that black wolf, although that black wolf's original form was as big as a calf, while this one was just a normal-sized dog. But after all, dogs and wolves are very similar.

  "So fragrant, so fragrant! Apples, pears, and muskmelons. Good boy, you really did it, you really did it!!"

  Halfway up the mountain, I heard the mysterious man's voice laughing and saying that he didn't show his face or talk reason, but hearing this voice, Gao Feng felt extremely close and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

  The scenery at the foot of the mountain is still the same, and the stone tablet at the end of the stone road with the inscription "War Demon Temple" is also there. Everything looks so familiar, and the trees and grass seem to have grown more lush than last time. Gao Feng is looking over here, but that voice is urging anxiously:

  "What's so good-looking? Quickly throw over those fresh fruits and I'll give you something good!"

  Gao Feng lost his smile, but quickly walked over to the other side and threw out the fruit in his arms. The apples were fine, but the pears and cucumbers were delicate things that would likely be ruined from being thrown on the ground. However, just like last time, even though Gao Feng couldn't see what was happening among the trees, not a single piece of fruit hit the ground.

  That mysterious person seemed to be in mid-air when he started devouring fruit, apparently starving. Gaofeng restrained his curiosity and stood on the tree stump again, clasped his fists and bowed, saying loudly:

  "These fresh fruits are nothing, last time the senior gave Gao Mou that innate Hunyuan Zhen Shen Jue, and also let Gao Mou eat that magical red fruit, Gao Mou is already grateful to the extreme, if he wants more benefits from the senior, isn't it excessive? However, the mysteries of the Zhen Shen Jue are profound, during cultivation there are some things that are not understood, wanting to ask the senior for guidance!"

  "Crunch, crunch", the sound of chewing fruit pulp was heard clearly by Gao Feng. He estimated that this mysterious senior even swallowed the pit whole, probably because he didn't have time to spit it out. After saying this sentence, Gao Feng waited for half a day but there was no response.

  The other party did not respond, but Gao Feng's attitude was very respectful, which was an attitude towards his seniors. After a while, he heard the mysterious senior in the forest sighing with satisfaction and saying leisurely:

  "The flavor of the mundane world is truly intoxicating..."

  Gao Feng was taken aback by the words, but they were just ordinary fresh fruit. How could they be described as if they were rare delicacies? And what did "vulgar world" mean? Before he could ponder this, the senior spoke again:

  "How can you still not understand such a simple technique? You're really foolish! Ask away, ask away!"

  "Senior, after practicing for the first time, I suddenly felt that I couldn't feel the meridians and dantian. Later, although I found them, I always felt awkward and didn't know why."

  The meridians suddenly disappeared, and after being felt by him, the way of operation and position were slightly different from before, although they did not affect the circulation of true qi and the exertion of strength, it was a heart disease. Moreover, in the Xiantian Hunyuan Zhen Shen Jue, the flow of true qi in the meridians is also required, such imprecision will definitely affect the next practice, so I need to ask clearly.

  The forest fell silent, and suddenly Gao Feng felt something was off. He involuntarily took a step back, looking up towards the direction of the forest. It was as if in that instant, he felt like his entire body had been seen through. This feeling had happened once before, at the Hou Mansion's side hall, when Gong Tianhai, the Marquis of Fengtian, had gazed at him. If the last time was being seen through by a person, this time it was as if someone had stripped off all his clothes and thrown him into an icy lake, leaving no room for escape.

  "You've already lost your meridians and dantian, what's there to care about?"

  Without meridians and dantian, Gao Feng first subconsciously nodded, then reacted and asked in shock:

  "Elder, if there is no dan Tian meridian, how can I run true Qi and exert force?"

  "Haven't you been exerting your strength and circulating your true energy? What more is there to ask?"

  The other party asked back, Gao Feng was stunned again, and after careful consideration, it was indeed the case. After not feeling the meridian dan Tian, the position of the meridian dan Tian that he thought of by himself was also running the gong method, launching a fierce attack, and there was no impact at all. Could it be that what he thought of was useful?

  That senior is really curious about what he thinks, and then says:

  "The lower abdomen is a reservoir, the meridians are rivers. Water exists in the reservoir and flows through the rivers, but water cannot go ashore or climb mountains. It's confined by the reservoir and rivers, so if you want to use its power, you can only think of ways within this confinement. Now that you're no longer confined, you can use it however you like - isn't this a good thing?"

  When the senior said this, Gao Feng was first confused, and suddenly felt that something had been figured out, but what it was, he didn't know. The things he had learned from Wu Xiao since elementary school were overturned in an instant. The other person's words were so bizarre, but Gao Feng thought they made sense, and continued to ask:

  "How can I exert force?"

  "Strength is yours, how can you exert force when you have no inner energy? Now it's just like that!"

  "The true Qi in the town's divine art is flowing in the meridians, and the acupoints are changing. Without the Dan Tian of the meridians, how can one practice the town's divine art?"

  "What's the point of practicing if you're just going to practice like that? Did the human-shaped demonstration I showed you only have meridians and acupoints?"

  The senior was obviously getting impatient and after saying this sentence, he started shouting:

  "After eating the fresh fruit you brought, it's making my stomach feel unwell. Go down to the mountain and pick a few more fruits for me, but don't get close to the stone steps, go inside and find those bigger ones. Hurry up, hurry up, I'll give you something good when you come back!"

  Gao Feng hastily agreed, but the senior's words contained too much information, and he couldn't digest it all at once. He needed time to think carefully, so going down the mountain to pick fruit was just what he needed. However, he felt that this senior was a bit too childish, putting so much effort into food, but he could probably judge one thing clearly: this senior likely couldn't move around in a large range.

  The legendary story told by the storyteller in the tea house, this kind of predecessor is often imprisoned in a place and cannot move. The predecessor on the mountain is indeed consistent with this.

  Halfway down the stone steps, Gao Feng walked into the orchard. The crimson fruit in Gao Feng's home was emitting a strange fragrance, but now this place was full of fruit, yet there was no fragrance at all.

  The sunlight was abundant, and the fruits were all radiant, but Gao Feng still felt that something was off. He wasn't someone who hadn't been to an orchard before. In such a dense thicket of trees, there should be the sounds of insects chirping and birds calling, and on the ground, there should be very lush grass, because the fallen rotten fruits would bring a lot of fertilizer.

  It's very quiet and clean here, with nothing around, although it's bright. As he walked in, Gao Feng suddenly felt a little nervous. The fruit of the two trees in front should be the biggest. Gao Feng was walking, but saw a figure flashing by. He stopped his footsteps abruptly, and when he looked again, the figure had disappeared.
