Chapter Twenty-Three: The Heart is Demonic

Chen Yu, who was sleeping, suddenly slapped the teacup in his hand directly with one palm, his body suddenly shook, and the book covering his face fell to the ground with a click.

I saw Chen Yu at this time, his eyebrows were tightly locked, his clenched fists were rattling due to the collision of bone joints, and two lines of hot tears slowly flowed from his closed eyes to his face, I don't know what he dreamed of. It's just that Chen Yu at this moment seems to be in pain.

"Ahh

Chen Yu hugged his head and shouted, leaned forward and knelt directly on the ground, he suddenly opened his eyes. Chen Yu only felt that the inexplicable energy in his body was running around, as if he was about to rush out of his body.

However, the physical pain was only secondary, the most important thing was that he had just seen his father have been slashed in the throat, and his mother has committed suicide due to excessive grief.

What made Chen Yu most difficult to accept was that Ling Er, whom he loved deeply, personally told him that he had been insulted and had no shame to see him again, and even more shameless to be his Chen Yu's wife and committed suicide by hanging himself.

Chen Yu's body trembled, his eyes were red like a mad lion, and the double pain of body and spirit made him want to end his life immediately. A breeze blew, Chen Yu turned around abruptly and stumbled back to his house.

.....

The clothes in the house were scattered all over the ground, and Chen Yu held his already tattered Ashima clothes and pressed them tightly to his face. Chen Yu felt that there was still a remnant of the smell of Ling Er leaning on his shoulder, and he recalled the scene of his trip with Ling Er that night, Ling Er's beautiful smile, crisp and gentle voice.

His emotions slowly eased, and the energy in his body returned to calm.

Chen Yu gasped for breath and secretly exclaimed that he was glad that he had passed another level.

Just when Chen Yu woke up just now, his remaining consciousness told him that he had encountered what practitioners often called 'going mad', just when he panicked and almost completely lost his mind.

A breeze blew, and Chen Yu himself didn't know why he suddenly picked up that piece of clothing that he was reluctant to throw away, but thinking of Ling Er, his emotions did calm down.

Later, Chen Yu learned that he was experiencing the inner demons that he often encountered in cultivation, and although it was similar to the madness of people who practiced martial arts, it was still different. Of course, he was also glad enough, if ordinary cultivators had no external assistance, they would have already lost their qi and blood and lost themselves.

Chen Yu didn't know how long he had been sitting, but when it was getting late, the sound of the disciple ringing the bell in the back kitchen pulled him back from his distraction. Chen Yu looked at the messy clothes on the inside of the house, didn't bother to clean up, casually straightened the clothes, and immediately rushed to the valley.

Chen Yu didn't dare to delay any longer, he still remembered that the last time he just went to the thatched house to make the vegetable delivery disciple wait for a while, but he was cold-eyed for several days. However, when Chen Yuhuo rushed to the mouth of the valley, the food was placed next to the stone tablet, and the disciple had already left impatiently.

Chen Yu smiled bitterly, and secretly sighed that the world was hot and cold, there was no Hai Lao, and a disciple also had such an attitude towards him. Fortunately, Yu Hai Lao was majestic, and the quality of the food was not a little worse, so he might be worried that Chen Yu would sue after Hai Lao came back.

Chen Yu didn't bother to think too much, so he ate some hastily, then cleaned up the room and the teacup he had broken, took a new teacup, made a pot of tea and sat in the courtyard.

During the day, Chen Yu didn't pay much attention to it, Chen Yu took the mantra and felt it, and he faintly felt that the energy in his body had increased again. It's been half a year, and the fourth-layer exercises have a feeling that they are about to break through. Chen Yu was happy for a long time, and the tea he drank in his mouth was much sweeter.

.....

At this time, it was already night, and the valley in early spring was still a little cold, Chen Yu used the mantra to run the energy in his body, driving away the feeling of discomfort. This is also one of the functions of the energy in the body that he accidentally discovered, which can keep out the cold.

Chen Yu drank tea while looking at the shining stars and bright moon in the night sky. I haven't seen the moon once in a few months, and it's rare that the moon is full tonight, and after counting the time, it's the middle of the moon today.

Chen Yu has nothing to do, he has almost read the medical books in Hai Lao's house, so let's be quiet at night. What he had experienced during the day had not yet eased up.

He drank tea and patted his chest, and his palm suddenly slammed, and there seemed to be a foreign object in his chest. Chen Yu put his hand into his chest and pulled the silver chain around his neck, Chen Yu remembered that it was a three-inch dark green gourd hanging around his neck, and this chain was given by Lan Xiang, and I don't know how she is now.

Chen Yu stared at the gourd in front of him carefully, not knowing what to do with it. Half a year ago, when his muscles and veins were damaged, Wang Mu suddenly pointed to the gourd on his chest and said that it was very beautiful, and Wang Mu just showed off that he had become infinitely powerful, Chen Yu thought about it, thinking that maybe his strength was too small, and he also let Wang Mu try to see if he could open the gourd.

However, Wang Mu tried many times, and even blushed and didn't open it, thinking about these Chen Yu sighed, ready to put this useless gourd back on his chest and continue to use it as an ornament.

Suddenly, some small points of light gathered in the gourd from all directions, and there were more and more of them, densely packed. Frightened, Chen Yu immediately pulled off the chain and threw the gourd far away. However, the point of light did not disappear, and it was still densely surging towards the gourd.

At this moment, Chen Yu couldn't sit still at all, staring at the gourd from afar, absorbing all the light points little by little. Time gradually passed, until the time came, when Chen Yu's legs were counted, the gourd still had no reaction, and was still absorbing light spots.

Chen Yu became interested, sleepless, and sat not far from the gourd with a chair and stared at it tightly, until the sky was gray and just bright, and the point of light disappeared.

Chen Yu stared at the gourd and waited for another hour, and finally he couldn't sit still. He slowly approached the gourd, looking at the chain that was dragged by himself, Chen Yu felt a pain in his heart, the chain sent by Lan Xiang was a pity.

After playing with the gourd carefully, Chen Yu found that the color of the gourd was not abnormal except for being darker. He took the gourd back to his room and decided to take a look at it later in the evening.

The next day, Chen Yu couldn't care about cultivation and waited anxiously for a day. As soon as the sun went down, Chen Yu took out the gourd, and the gourd absorbed the light point again.

......

On the fourth day, Chen Yu began to get used to cultivating during the day and staring at the gourd at night to absorb light spots. When you are tired, you use the energy in your body to drive away the fatigue.

.....

On the sixth day, the temperature in the valley plummeted, and a sudden heavy rain held Chen Yu in his room for a whole day. On this night, the sky was cloudy, and there was not a trace of moonlight.

Chen Yu walked into the courtyard, habitually took out the gourd, and waited for those shining points of light to appear. However, to Chen Yu's surprise, he waited for an hour, and the gourd did not react at all.

Chen Yu took the gourd back to the house in disappointment. He thought about it, why the gourd would absorb light spots in the first five nights, and why it didn't work today. Is it because it's raining today and not sunny?

"Sunny ....." and so on. Chen Yu's eyes widened, as if he had discovered some major secret. A few days ago, it was sunny every day, and there would be moonlight at night, but tonight because it had just rained, the moon was covered by dark clouds, so the gourd did not react.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Chen Yu has not slept all night, and in recent days, he has even been absent-minded when he picks up food during the day.

Early this morning, the vegetable delivery disciple came again. After Chen Yu came out of the valley, he took the meal, handed the rice bowl from last night to the other party, and turned around and entered the valley without looking at the disciple.

The disciple who delivered the food was about to teach Chen Yu a lesson, telling the other party that next time it would be so slow, he would not give it away. However, before the words could be spoken, Chen Yu's figure had already disappeared. The other party stood at the mouth of the valley and jumped to his feet and scolded the valley, and it was not until someone passed by that he packed up his things and left.

.....

It had been raining for half a month, and the weather finally cleared up on this day, and Chen Yu finally waited for the opportunity to confirm his idea.

However, in the middle of the night, the gourd suddenly stopped absorbing light spots, and the light spots around the gourd disappeared.....
