Chapter 191 Asking for directions
Meng Bai walked eastward for dozens of miles and finally arrived at a city.
Now Meng Bai has a lot of money on him, so he plans to find a place to have a meal first.
Meng Bai came to a restaurant called Wangxianglou.
The owner of the restaurant frowned slightly when he saw Meng Bai.
"A poor blind man?"
Now Meng Bai is wearing a tattered cloth, leaning on a cane, his eyes are white, and his image is indeed not good.
The restaurant owner gave the waiter a look.
Seeing this, the waiter understood what he meant and prepared to ask Meng Bai to leave the restaurant.
At this moment, Meng Bai took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter.
"Boss, give me three ounces of rice wine and a few of your restaurant's signature dishes."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the silver.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. Xiao Huang, please lead this guest to the box."
Although Meng Bai's clothes are not well-dressed now, no one can go against money.
The waiter named Xiao Huang came up to Meng Bai and asked, "Sir, do you want me to hold your hand?"
Meng Bai shook his head.
"No need, lead the way."
"Okay, follow me."
On the way upstairs, Meng Bai heard many diners talking about him.
"Who is this blind man? He is so shabby but so generous?"
"Could it be that he stole the silver?"
"I haven't seen this blind man in Shicheng."
"A poor blind man is so rich. I have lived in vain all these years."
"..."
Although they were talking quietly, Meng Bai's five senses except for sight were extremely sensitive, so he easily heard their conversation.
Meng Bai frowned slightly.
It seems I have to go to the clothing store to buy some clean clothes later.
The waiter Xiao Huang led Meng Bai to a private room and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. The food will be served to you soon."
"Wait a moment." Meng Bai called out to Xiao Huang.
"I wonder if you have any other instructions?"
Meng Bai took out another ingot of silver.
"Do you know if there are any strange people or things around here?"
The waiter Xiao Huang looked at the silver on the table with a gleam in his eyes.
"Sir, recently I heard that the mass grave in the west is haunted. I wonder if this is considered a strange thing."
Meng Bai said calmly: "Forget it."
Then Meng Bai pushed the silver ingot to his waiter Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang was overjoyed after taking it: "Thank you, sir."
"If you have anything else to ask later, you can come to me. I am always at your service."
Meng Bai nodded calmly.
"I know, go get busy."
Half an hour later,
Meng Baijiu was full and ready to leave the restaurant.
Before leaving, Meng Bai asked the hotel owner, "Where is the clothing store nearby?"
The innkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Go out and turn right and walk half a mile. Turn left and cross a small path. Turn right again and walk less than half a mile and you will find a clothing store."
"Thank you."
The restaurant owner looked at Meng Bai as he left and shouted, "Sir, please come back when you have time!"
......
Following the instructions of the restaurant owner, Meng Bai walked out of the restaurant, turned right, and walked about half a mile before he saw a small path.
Meng Bai walked into the path with a cane.
Before he could walk out of the path, five men rushed out from behind and blocked his way.
The leading man sneered: "Blind man, hand over the money you have on you, and I can spare your life if I am in a good mood."
Meng Bai sighed slightly: "What a trouble."
With his Ning Yuan cultivation, Meng Bai easily sensed that they were five mortals.
Only ordinary people would covet the gold and silver on him.
The leading man saw that Meng Bai had not taken any action and said angrily: "You blind man dare to ignore me, you are looking for death."
Meng Bai used the crutch in his hand as a weapon and beat the five men black and blue in an instant.
The leading man even knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, please spare my life. I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. Please spare my life."
Meng Bai put away his cane and shouted calmly: "Get lost!"
"Yes, we'll leave now."
The five people fled away scrambling.
Then Meng Bai followed the instructions of the restaurant owner and came to a clothing store.
After paying a silver ingot, Meng Bai changed into a well-fitting green gown and a pair of brand new cloth shoes.
At the same time, he prepared an identical set in his storage bag in case of emergency.
it's getting dark,
Meng Bai went west.
The soldiers guarding the city saw that Meng Bai was a blind man and reminded him, "Blind man, it's getting late. If you leave the city now, you may not be able to come back at night."
Meng Bai smiled calmly: "Thank you for the reminder, General."
The soldier saw Meng Bai still walking out and couldn't help but mutter, "This blind man is really going to die, walking towards a mass grave in the middle of the night."
......
At two quarters past ten o'clock, Meng Bai arrived at the mass grave.
The mass grave in Shicheng is not big, only about one mile long.
The mass grave was empty except Meng Bai. The wind was cold and the atmosphere was extremely bleak.
At this moment, a sinister laugh was heard.
“Hee…hee…hee…”
Meng Bai laughed and said, "It turns out to be a little ghost at the peak of Qi Gathering!"
Meng Bai has a profound foundation in the Five Elements Meditation Method. After entering the Condensation Period, he can easily cover the entire mass grave with his sword heart.
"Will you come out on your own, or let Meng invite you out?"
After Meng Bai finished speaking, no ghosts appeared around, only bursts of sinister laughter.
Meng Bai swung his crutch and a sword energy flew to the right.
After a scream, a female ghost was slashed by Meng Bai.
Meng Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the female ghost with a hint of surprise.
Although this female ghost was full of ghostliness, there was not a trace of blood or resentment on her body.
This shows that this female ghost has never harmed anyone.
When Meng Bai saw the locust tree nearby, he suddenly realized.
This female ghost should be practicing with the ghost energy in the locust tree.
The female ghost saw Meng Bai coming towards her and kowtowed, "Master, please spare my life. Master, please spare my life."
Meng Bai changed his mind about searching your soul and said calmly, "I have no intention of taking your life. I came to you today just to ask you a few questions."
"Master, please tell me what you say. I will answer all your questions."
"Let me ask you, do you know where the nearest immortal cultivation sect is?"
The ghost girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, as far as I know, the closest immortal sect to this place is the Five Elements Sect, 500 miles to the north."
"Five Elements Sect?"
Meng Bai raised his eyebrows.
If I'm not mistaken, the Five Elements Meditation Method he practiced came from the Five Elements Sect.
However, the Five Elements Meditation Method he practices is of unknown origin, so it is better not to go to the Five Elements Sect for the time being.
"Are there any other sects?"
"In addition to the Five Elements Sect, there is a Xiaoyao Sect eight hundred miles to the east."
"Xiaoyao Sect!" Meng Bai smiled calmly: "What a good name."
"Okay, you can go."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest. I will take my leave now."
When the female ghost heard that she could leave, she immediately disappeared from Meng Bai's sight and hid in the locust tree.
Before leaving, Meng Bai glanced at the dark locust tree and said, "It's not easy to become a ghost cultivator. I hope you can keep your original heart and avoid blood, so that you can achieve the right result."
......
After half a month,
Meng Bai went eastwards and after asking around, he finally arrived at the gate of Xiaoyao Sect.
