Chapter 6 Horrible Nightmare

Relying on a thorough understanding of the "Swallowing Yuan to Nourish Marrow" technique, Li Yu spent a month to practice this health-preserving technique to the point of great perfection.

And he also underwent a nearly complete transformation.

His originally weak body was also nourished, becoming full of energy, determined, strong, and even his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of an ordinary adult.

Of course, the price was that he spent most of the more than 60 taels of silver he had looted from Du Chang, almost all of which he used to buy various food supplements and some tonic herbs.

And the only discordant part of his body was his left arm.

On this arm, there was a hideous blood mark.

This blood mark was like a scarlet and strange centipede, as thick as a pigeon egg, more than a foot long, and entwined on his arm, extremely hideous.

Those centipede feet were like blood threads, wriggling slightly like living things, which was chilling.

Compared with the thickness of the little finger a month ago and half a foot long, this blood mark is now obviously much larger.

Moreover, this arm was obviously drier than the other one, with bulging veins and an ominous gray skin, as if it had been taken from a corpse.

"It is urgent to become a practitioner."

Looking at the blood boil Yin Curse on his arm, Li Yu sighed.

He could feel that this arm had become extremely cold, as if it had been soaked in ice water.

Although he had practiced the Swallowing Essence to Replenish the Marrow to the pinnacle, and his blood and qi were as vigorous as a furnace, he could not dispel the cold air in this arm.

But the good thing was that it suppressed the blood boil Yin Curse to a certain extent, at least he had not had nightmares in the past two days!

This was enough to show that his guess was correct - "Swallowing Essence to Replenish the Marrow" did have some restraining effect on the blood boil Yin Curse, although not much.

As for nightmares, he had had more than ten nightmares in the past month because of the blood boil Yin Curse.

Every time Li Yu dreamed of a room.

It was a weird wedding room.

An exquisite and elegant screen, a carved mahogany bed, an exquisite and gorgeous dressing table beside the couch, an ancient bronze mirror, and a dark red makeup box.

The background of the whole room is deep and dim, with a faint ominous blood color, as if covered with a thin layer of blood mist.

There is also a woman sitting by the bed whose appearance cannot be seen clearly.

The woman's head is covered with a scarlet gauze veil, she is wearing a bright red wedding dress, and she is wearing gold-threaded red embroidered shoes. She looks hazy and dreamy.

The room is filled with a vague and terrifying aura, which makes Li Yu tremble and fear instinctively.

It's as if he is facing an extremely terrifying existence!

Whenever Li Yu wants to look around, especially the woman, he will wake up from a nightmare.

The quilt will also be soaked with cold sweat, and the spirit will become listless, the consciousness will become unclear, and he will often involuntarily make vague and strange mumbling.

With the increase in the number of nightmares, this situation has become more and more serious.

Fortunately, the situation has been alleviated now that the swallowing of essence and replenishing marrow has been perfected. Otherwise, his consciousness might have been replaced by something strange.

However, Li Yu has also decided to solve the blood boil curse as soon as possible, otherwise, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no complications if time goes on.

"Xiaoyu, you must be hungry. Grandma made you something delicious."

At this time, Grandma Ge came over with a bowl of wontons with a smile.

Li Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted her. He stretched out his hand to take the bowl and showed helplessness: "Grandma, I just ate not long ago, how can I be hungry so soon."

The old man is good in everything, but there is one thing - he always feels that he is too thin and can't eat enough.

"You, now is the time to grow up. Although you eat a lot, you will get hungry faster. Besides, can Grandma harm you?"

The crutches in Grandma Ge's hand knocked on the ground and urged her repeatedly.

"What are you talking about? I eat, I eat, isn't it okay?"

Li Yu couldn't do anything with the old lady, so he quickly responded, regardless of whether he was hungry or not, and started eating with the bowl.

Although she couldn't see it, just the sound of Li Yu "slurping" as he wolfed down his wontons made Granny Ge smile.

As if she remembered something, Granny Ge solemnly warned:

"My dear grandson, stay at home if you have nothing to do at night recently, and don't go out for a walk."

Hearing this, Li Yu's heart moved and said, "Why do you say that?"

Granny Ge thought about it and whispered, "I heard from the night watchman next door, Old Guo, that he saw some unclean things when he was beating the night watch at night."

"What! Unclean things?"

Hearing this, Li Yu was stunned and pretended to be panicked:

"Grandma, I heard that people in our town often go missing in recent years and can't be found. Could this be a ghost?"

"My little ancestor, you can't say this casually. It's not good if you hear it."

Before he finished the word "ghost", Granny Ge was startled and interrupted him quickly.

Li Yu had to shut up, but his eyes became deeper.

As a reborn person, he knew that these things were done by the evil cultivators in Liu Mansion, but there was no need to tell Granny Ge about these things.

After eating and drinking, and chatting with Granny Ge for a while, Li Yu found an excuse to go out.

It was not surprising for the neighbors to see him.

With Granny Ge's endorsement, everyone knew that he was Granny Ge's grandson.

Of course, this was also Li Yu's explanation to the outside world.

After all, the old woman's grandson had been gone for seven or eight years, who could remember what he really looked like?

In addition, he knew the situation of Granny Ge's family very well, so there would be no flaws.

Moreover, during this period, Li Yu's behavior was seen by some people.

He picked medicine for Granny Ge, fetched water, chopped firewood, and did all the work he could.

Granny Ge was originally alone and helpless, and she was depressed all day long.

But since Li Yu came, the old woman's smile has become more and more, and her spirit has improved a lot.

Therefore, no one does not believe in Li Yu's identity.

…

Going out and coming to the street, the warm sunshine sprinkled down, warm and cozy, making people feel relaxed and quiet. Li Yu walked towards the town entrance with ease.

Since the blood boil curse has been temporarily resolved, 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, and its trunk is as thick as six or seven people can hug together. The tree canopy is dense and covers the sky.

Under the tree, there is a shabby and low wooden shed with a shrine in it. In addition, a sloppy little beggar lives inside.

When passing by the big banyan tree, Li Yu subconsciously stopped.

Looking at the little beggar and the banyan tree, his eyes are deep.

This big banyan tree can have a history of more than 300 years. According to some local elders, this tree has an extraordinary origin and was enlightened by an immortal, so it is spiritual.

This is a spiritual tree!

Therefore, during the New Year and festivals, residents of the town often spontaneously bring fruits, cakes, incense, candles and yellow paper to worship.

It seems to be just a superstitious behavior of the country folk, but Li Yu knows that this legend is true!
