In the early morning, as soon as it got dark, Zhou Tu climbed out of bed on time. He slept well for the rest of the night and never dreamed about the boat or the long river again.
After eating breakfast, Zhou Tu immediately started practicing.
Since he had memorized the breathing and mental techniques, Zhou Tu's practice today was much smoother than yesterday. Time passed very quickly. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Just like yesterday, he still didn't sense any spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Zhou Tu was not discouraged. Strictly speaking, today was the first day of his practice. There were only a few geniuses who could sense spiritual energy on the first day. His requirements for himself were very simple. As long as he had spiritual energy, Roots, as long as you can step into the avenue of immortality.
I practiced the exercises in the morning and exercised in the yard in the afternoon. The day passed like this.
At night, Zhou Tu lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep...
The same boat, the same long river, Zhou Tu was sitting on the boat in his dream again.
"It seems that I have this dream every night, but I can only dream about it once a night!" Zhou Tu thought to himself, then looked at the river water around the boat, "Last night I fished a handful of river water on the right side, and then I dreamed about Luo Peng’s house. I will try the river water on the left tonight..."
With this thought in mind, Zhou Tu lay on the left side of the boat and quickly scooped up a handful of water from the river.
As soon as the river water reached the boat, it turned into mist again, submerging Zhou Tu and the entire boat...
The scene in front of him changed, and Zhou Tu found himself standing in a small alley. It was still night. There were five people sitting in the corner of the alley, an elderly couple, a young couple, and a seven or eight-year-old child. The clothes on the five people's bodies were relatively tattered. They looked like they belonged to a family, and they were all beggars. They had no place to stay at night, so they could only huddle in this alley.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tu nodded thoughtfully. The river water could indeed make him dream of other things, but after all, it was just a dream. No matter how real it was, it seemed to be of little use to him. It was a pity that he could not touch the things in the dream. Anything, otherwise you can talk about life with the characters in the dream and see if the characters in the dream are also real...
Just when Zhou Tu was thinking like this, an old man wearing a black robe suddenly walked into the alley. The old man had a thin face and a strange aura exuding from his body. He also couldn't see Zhou Tu and walked straight from Zhou Tu. I walked by and came to the front of the family of five.
Seeing someone coming, the young man in the family immediately stood up and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
The old man in black robe didn't answer. He turned his five fingers into claws and suddenly grabbed the young man's head!
The accident happened so suddenly that the young man had no time to realize what happened. An indescribable pain suddenly came from the top of his head!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The young man suddenly screamed, and his body shriveled up quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few moments, he became a mummy!
It was only then that the other four members of the family came to their senses. The old couple should be the young man's parents. When they saw their son being killed, the young man's father said in a trembling voice: "You! You killed me." Son! I will fight with you!"
With that said, the old father rushed towards the old man in black robe desperately!
boom!
The next moment, the old man in black robe smashed the old father's head with one palm and sucked up the corpse. Then he threw the mummy aside and stared at the remaining three people.
"Aniu!"
"father!"
The remaining three people suddenly cried out in pain. At this time, the old man in black robe suddenly pressed his chest and couldn't help coughing twice. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but he quickly wiped the blood away and continued to attack!
Bang bang bang...
The old man in black robe was very ruthless and quickly killed all the remaining three people and sucked all their blood.
After doing all this, the old man in black robe left the alley. The family of five who had been fine just now now only had five mummies left...
Zhou Tu watched with horror. This old man in black robe killed people just like killing a few ants. He was extremely powerful. He was probably a monk who had entered the road to immortality!
"Follow us and have a look!" Zhou Tu thought to himself. Although this dream was very real, it was just a dream after all. Therefore, he had no feelings about the death of the family of five. On the contrary, he saw a real monk in his dream, which made him very curious.
The old man in black robe walks very fast. A long street of several hundred meters can reach the end in two or three breaths. If it were in reality, Zhou Tu probably wouldn't be able to keep up with him even if he broke his leg, but In this dream, he discovered that as long as he focused on the other party, he could maintain the same speed as the other party!
The houses on both sides quickly backed up, and after following for a while, Zhou Tu discovered that this seemed to be Luo'an City! However, dreaming about familiar surroundings was a very normal thing, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After a while, Zhou Tu followed the old man in black robe to the door of an inn. The old man in black robe did not go in through the front door, but jumped directly into an open window on the third floor, and then entered the room...
"Laifu Inn..." Zhou Tu looked at the plaque above the door of the inn and was about to follow him in when he suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness in his heart! Having had a similar experience, he immediately knew that he was about to wake up from his dream...
The next moment, Zhou Tu woke up from bed. This dream tonight seemed to be longer than last night, but when he looked at the sky outside the window, it was still only midnight, so he changed his sleeping position and continued to sleep...
When he got up in the morning, Zhou Tu went out to buy buns just like the previous days. When he arrived at the bun shop, there were so many people buying buns that he had to queue up behind him.
"A lot of officers and soldiers were gathered in an alley in the west of the city. It seems that five more people died last night."
"I've also heard that they were five beggars. It is said that they died miserably..."
At this time, two people in the queue in front started talking quietly.
When he heard that five beggars had died, Zhou Tu was stunned, and then his ears pricked up.
"The blood has been sucked dry. How can it not be miserable?"
"The blood has been sucked dry again? This has happened three times this month, right?"
"Alas! Those who died were all beggars. Not to mention that it only happened three times. Even if such murders happened every day, the government would not care! Those officers and soldiers went there not to investigate the case, but to throw the corpses out of the city... "
After listening for a while, Zhou Tu suddenly frowned. How could this be similar to the dream he had last night?
With this doubt, Zhou Tu bought the buns. He did not return to Xuanqing Temple immediately, but walked to the west of the city.
While eating steamed buns and rushing on the road, Zhou Tu soon arrived at the west of the city. Once there, he immediately found that the buildings in front of him were very familiar, exactly the same as what he saw in his dream last night!
Zhou Tu was even more confused. He followed the route in his dream and soon found the alley in his dream.
At this time, many government officials were surrounding the alley, preventing ordinary people from getting close. When they saw Zhou Tu coming, one of them, a very strong official with a scar on his face, immediately said impatiently: "The government is doing business." ! All other people, please get out of here!"
Zhou Tu's expression did not change, knowing that something must have happened here, he immediately replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "I am a disciple of Taoist Song of Xuanqingguan, and on his orders, I came here to investigate this murder case!"
