This NPC is Too Strong - #6 - Chapter 6: nightmare
Relying on a thorough understanding of “Swallowing Yuan and Tonifying the Marrow”, Li Yu spent a month practicing this health-preserving exercise to the point of Dzogchen.
And because of this, almost a complete change has taken place in him.
His originally weak body was also nourished, and he became full of energy, determined, and strong. Even his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of ordinary adults.
Of course, the price was that he spent more than half of the more than sixty taels of silver he collected from Du Chang, and almost all of it was used by him to buy various dietary supplements and some great tonic medicinal materials.
And the only discordant place on his body is his left arm.
On this arm, there was a ferocious bloodstain coiled around it.
This bloodstain was like a scarlet and monstrous centipede, as thick as a pigeon’s egg, more than a foot long, entrenched on his arm, extremely ferocious.
Those centipede feet were like bloodshot eyes, wriggling slightly like living creatures, which made people shudder.
Compared with the thickness of the little finger a month ago, which was half a foot long, the bloodstain was obviously much bigger now.
Moreover, this arm was obviously drier than the other arm, with protruding veins and an ominous layer of dead gray skin, as if it had been taken from a corpse.
“Becoming a cultivator is urgent.”
Looking at the curse of blood boil on his arm, Li Yu sighed.
He could feel that this arm had become extremely cold now, as if it had been soaked in ice water.
Even though he has practiced the Yuan Swallowing Marrow Replenishing Art to the peak, his Qi and blood are as vigorous as a furnace, but he still can’t dispel the cold air in this arm.
But the good thing is that it suppressed the blood boil curse to a certain extent, at least he didn’t have any more nightmares these two days!
This is enough to show that his guess is correct – “Swallowing Yuan and Tonifying Marrow Art” does have some curbing effect on the blood boil curse, although not much.
As for nightmares… In the past month, because of this blood boil curse, he has had more than ten nightmares.
Every time Li Yu would dream of a room.
It was a weird wedding room.
Exquisite and elegant screens, a carved mahogany bed, a beautiful dressing table beside the couch, an ancient bronze mirror, and a dark red makeup box.
The background of the whole room was deep and dim, with an ominous blood color faintly, as if covered with a thin layer of blood-colored mist.
Sitting next to the bed was a woman who couldn’t see clearly.
The woman’s head was covered with a scarlet tulle hijab, she was wearing a red wedding gown, and her feet were wearing red embroidered gold silk shoes. She looked hazy and dreamlike.
In the room, there was a vaguely terrifying aura, which made Li Yu tremble and fear instinctively.
It was as if he was facing an extremely terrifying existence!
Whenever Li Yu wanted to look around, especially the woman, he would wake up from the nightmare.
The quilt will also be soaked in cold sweat, and the spirit will become listless, and the consciousness will become blurred, and often involuntarily utter vague and strange ravings.
As the number of nightmares increased, this situation became more and more serious.
Fortunately, this situation has to be alleviated now that he has achieved great success in swallowing the essence and nourishing the marrow. Otherwise, his current consciousness may have been replaced by some kind of weirdness.
However, Li Yu has also decided to get rid of the blood boil curse as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no guarantee that there will be no side effects after a long time.
“Little fish, you’re hungry, my mother-in-law made delicious food for you.”
At this time, Granny Ge walked over with a bowl of wontons with a smile.
Li Yu came back to his senses, went up to meet him quickly, reached out to take the bowl, with a helpless expression on his face: “Grandma, I’ve just had a full meal not long ago, how can I be so hungry so quickly.”
The old man is good at everything, except for one thing – he always feels that he is too thin and cannot eat enough.
“You, now is the time to grow your body. Although you eat a lot, you are getting hungry faster. Besides, can mother-in-law harm you?”
The crutch in Granny Ge’s hand hit the ground with a thud, and she urged her repeatedly.
“If you’re old, I’ll eat it, can’t I eat it?”
Li Yu had no choice but to take the old lady, and quickly responded, regardless of whether she was hungry or not, she started eating with a bowl.
Although she couldn’t see it, just listening to Li Yu’s “huluhulu” wolfing down wontons made Granny Ge smile.
Seemingly remembering something, Granny Ge solemnly exhorted:
“Good grandson, take it with you at home when you have nothing to do at night, but you are not allowed to go out for a stroll.”
Hearing this, Li Yu’s heart moved, and he said, “Why do you say that?”
Granny Ge thought for a while, and then whispered: “I heard from the watchman next door, Old Guotou, that he saw some unclean things when he was on watch at night.”
“What! Unclean things?”
Hearing this, Li Yu was taken aback, pretending to be panicked and said:
“Grandmother, I heard that people in our town have often disappeared over the years, and they can’t be found. Could it be a ghost…”
“My little ancestor, you can’t talk nonsense about this…It’s not good if you hear it.”
Before the word “ghost” was finished, Granny Ge was taken aback and interrupted him quickly.
Li Yu had no choice but to keep silent, but his eyes deepened a bit…
As a reborn person, he knew that these things were done by the evil cultivators of Liu’s residence, but there was no need to tell Granny Ge about these things.
After eating and drinking enough, and chatting with Granny Ge for a while, Li Yu found an excuse to go out.
It is not surprising that the neighbors around see him.
With the endorsement of Granny Ge, everyone knows that he is the grandson of Granny Ge.
Of course, the same is true of Li Yu’s explanation to the outside world.
After all, it has been seven or eight years since the old man’s grandson left, who in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com still remembers the real appearance of her grandson.
In addition, he knows the situation of Granny Ge’s family very well, so there will be no flaws.
Besides, during this period of time, Li Yu’s behavior was seen by some people.
Grabbing medicine for Granny Ge, fetching water, and chopping firewood, I did all the work I could do.
Granny Ge was originally lonely and helpless, and she was depressed all day long.
But since Li Yu’s arrival, the smiles on the old man’s face have increased more and more, and his spirit has improved a lot.
Therefore, no one believed Li Yu’s identity.
…
After going out the door and coming to the street, the warm sunshine was shining down, making people feel soothed and quiet. Li Yu walked towards the entrance of the town with ease.
Now that the Blood Boil Yin Curse has been solved temporarily, now is the time to implement his next plan!
At the entrance of Qingshui Town, there is a big banyan tree.
The banyan tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, the trunk can be as thick as six or seven people hugging each other, and the canopy is dense, covering the sky and the sun.
And under the tree, there was a dilapidated low wooden shed, and there was a shrine in the wooden shed. In addition, there was a dirty little beggar living in it.
When passing the big banyan tree, Li Yu subconsciously stopped.
He looked at the little beggar and the banyan tree with deep eyes.
This big banyan tree has a history of more than 300 years. According to some local elders, this tree has an extraordinary history. It was once enlightened by a fairy, so it has psychics.
This is a spirit tree!
Therefore, during Chinese New Year and festivals, residents of the town often spontaneously bring melons, fruit cakes, joss sticks and yellow paper to worship.
It seems that it is just a superstitious behavior of the country people, but Li Yu knows that this legend is true!
