Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 263 He is like an excellent and patient master

In the evening, Liu Mao came back with a sad heart.

After entering the city, he first went to see a doctor to check his physical condition. Sure enough, the poison pill was extremely powerful. After a careful examination, the doctor shook his head helplessly, saying that his ability was limited and he could not cure it!

Then he changed several clinics, and the results were the same. One of them claimed that it could delay the onset of the poison and then find a way to prepare medicine to detoxify it, but it required many precious medicinal materials. When Liu Mao heard the fee, his eyes widened and he left angrily.

Helpless, he could only accept his fate and go shopping and come back honestly.

The weather in the evening was still a bit hot and humid, but when we returned to the deserted village, it felt a little cooler, after all, there are many mountains and forests here.

However, when he came to Ning Ji's yard with the things he had bought, he suddenly felt that it was too cool here, and the closer he got to the house where they lived, the colder it became, making him feel inexplicably creepy!

Ning Ji asked him to put rice and other things in the small kitchen. He quickly put the things away and left Ning Ji's yard. Before leaving the yard, he turned his head to look at the house that was too cold, his eyes complicated. After a while, he silently returned to his residence.

Although Liu Mao used to follow a bandit leader and did not know how to exorcise evil spirits, he was not an ignorant person. From the strangeness he just noticed, combined with what the old monk said when they were in the Black Forest before, he guessed that there was a "foreign object" in the house.

Thinking of this, he became even more wary of these two people.

Only after the sun had gone down did Si He walk out of the house and go to the small kitchen to watch Ning Ji cook dinner.

Liu Mao bought a lot of rice and flour, enough to last for a while.

As for meat and vegetables, there is no shortage of them in the nearby mountains and forests. There are many small animals, wild vegetables and mushrooms.

The dinner was quite sumptuous. As long as conditions permitted and ingredients were sufficient, Ning Ji would do his best to prepare the meal.

Si He was still very satisfied with this meal.

After dinner and a shower, it was already completely dark.

In the candlelight, Si He's face paled even further, like the first snowfall of winter, with a touch of weakness and sadness that could not be ignored. Her lips were also pale, pale and sickly, like a lady outlined in light ink in a scroll painting.

Ning Ji took out a condensed spiritual essence and gave it to her. The spiritual essence was the size of a soybean. After purifying the evil spirits and impurities inside, he added some medicine and condensed it into a small oily green bead. It looked shiny and smooth, like an emerald, very beautiful, and had a faint unique fragrance.

This is different from the pills she took before. Each of the previous pills contained only a tiny amount of spiritual essence, but this small green bead contained a large amount of spiritual essence and very few medicinal ingredients.

However, due to her increasing demand for spiritual essence in recent days, the effect of the previous pills has become less and less, and she really needs to increase the dosage of spiritual essence.

Si He took out the spiritual essence, looked at it carefully, and swallowed it.

The tiny bead was like a small ice cube, and it felt icy cold when it entered her mouth. At the same time, the special energy in the bead seemed to be slowly radiating out of her body. After her body absorbed this energy, she obviously felt a strange sense of comfort, just like a thirsty person drinking water or a hungry person eating, both of them needed energy replenishment.

Or maybe she is like a drug addict, taking poison, and once she gets addicted, she can never quit.

After taking this condensed spiritual essence bead, her complexion began to slowly become rosy, no longer as pale as before. This spiritual essence seemed like a magic pill, and its effect was visible to the naked eye, making her become much more energetic instead of drowsy. This was much more effective than the previous pills.

Ning Ji observed her condition for a while and then asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

She felt it carefully and shook her head.

Ning Ji took her pulse and asked about her physical sensations. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved.

The night was long, and perhaps because she slept too much during the day and took the spiritual essence, Si He was in high spirits at this time, so she practiced martial arts with Ning Ji.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the dim courtyard, but the bright moon seemed to have added a layer of silver gauze-like brilliance.

In the courtyard, Si He was agile and attacked Ning Ji with her bare hands. Her moves were more skillful than before. Every attack was accompanied by a slight sound of wind, and the attack was very precise.

Ning Ji put one hand behind his back and used the other to deal with her attacks. He only dodged and defended, and did not attack, but he was still at ease and relaxed.

His eyes were deep and doting, and he could always see through the moves and directions of her attacks, thus cleverly avoiding them. He occasionally guided her movements, and while responding to her attacks, he explained to her the essence and key points of the moves, like an excellent and patient master.

With Ning Ji's guidance, Si He's skills became more and more agile. When she occasionally managed to attack him, he would praise her approvingly, which made her very happy.

In the next yard, Liu Mao stood on tiptoe, looking at the man and woman practicing martial arts on the other side of the low wall, wondering what they were practicing so late at night. Could it be that they were hiding in this deserted village because there were few people and it was a good place to practice martial arts?

But the next moment, his eyes turned to the house behind the yard. Practicing martial arts was one of the reasons, but perhaps the main reason they stayed here was because of the mysterious thing they were carrying.

Liu Mao looked at her with a complicated expression. After looking for a while, he looked away and went back to his room to sleep.

The night passed quickly, and it was almost dawn when Ning Ji and Si He returned to the house to rest. They now adjusted their schedule again, resting during the day and being active at night.

In the morning, Liu Mao woke up and saw the quiet yard next door. It was obvious that the neighbor was asleep. He was speechless. What kind of habit was this? Like a night owl, it was hidden during the day and out at night.

Sure enough, he never saw those two people come out throughout the whole day!

He could only waste his time in this deserted village, find a cool place to escape the heat, and when he was hungry he would go to the nearby woods to find some meat to satisfy his hunger.

In the evening, Ning Ji finally came out of the house. After a quick wash, he went to the nearby woods to dig some wild vegetables and mushrooms, and then hunted some prey for meat.

In the evening, just like last night, Ning Ji accompanied Si He in practicing martial arts in the yard.

This went on for three days.

The several ghosts suppressed in the bronze tripod were also subdued by Ning Ji, so the bronze tripod was no longer sealed. The lid of the tripod was always left with a small gap open and placed in the side room, separated from the bedroom by a small hall.

Even so, the evil aura here is getting stronger and stronger.

Si He is now a living dead. The evil energy is beneficial to nourishing her body, but it should not be too much. It must be a gradual process. That's why Ning Ji purified the evil energy in her spirit essence and let her adapt slowly.
