Chapter 14: The Power of One Star
In the small courtyard.
A corpse lay on the ground in pools of blood, lifeless.
In his chest, a bloody hole was opened.
At this time, red blood was gurgling out of it.
The heart inside is gone!
It's almost the same as the scene I saw at the Guanyin Temple last night!
A bone-chilling chill suddenly enveloped Luo Qingfeng's whole body.
The nightingale held the knife and carefully went to the house to check it first, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, Fang walked out, squatted down in front of the corpse, and looked at it with a solemn expression.
"It's the villager, I saw him that day. Judging from the wounds, like the villager who was killed in the Guanyin Temple, his heart was taken out and died, and the time of death should be ...... Half a quarter of an hour ago. ”
She suddenly raised her head, looked at Luo Qingfeng at the door and said, "How could it be so coincidental?" We were just about to come to him and he was killed. ”
Then his eyes flashed and he said, "No, I should say that you just came to him." ”
Luo Qingfeng looked at the corpse on the ground, his face was ugly, he didn't speak, and he looked like he was frightened by the scene in front of him.
Nightingale stared at him for a while, then stood up from the ground, and said in a slow voice: "Don't be afraid, I don't doubt you, you don't have that ability, and you don't have a reason to kill." I'm just wondering, is this series of things aimed at you? When you went to Linshan Village to greet your relatives, you encountered a fantasy created by demons......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly frowned again and said: "But it's not right, if it's really aimed at you, with the strength of the other party, there is no need to spend so much time......
Luo Qingfeng suddenly spoke: "I'm coming to find this villager, and I didn't tell anyone except to tell you." ”
Nightingale mused, "Is it really a coincidence? ”
Certainly not a coincidence.
Luo Qingfeng said secretly in his heart.
From last night to now, two villagers have been killed one after another, and it was when he was ready to go to them.
How can there be such a coincidence, two coincidences appear together?
But he can't tell the woman in front of him about this matter, otherwise, he will be the one who will die.
The events of that night in Linshan Village left a big shadow on him.
At critical moments, these people don't care about his life or death.
"Could the murderer be a demon?"
He asked a question that he was afraid of.
Nightingale's expression was solemn, and she stared at the bloody hole in the corpse's chest for a while, and said, "I can't be sure yet, but I guess it should be, and they need to do further examination." ”
There was a pause.
She put away the knife and said, "Let's go, I'll call someone, be careful that the demon hasn't left yet." ”
When Luo Qingfeng heard this, he immediately exited the door.
The nightingale glanced around vigilantly again before exiting the courtyard gate.
She thought for a moment and said, "You and your bride should also be careful, two villagers from Linshan Village died one after another, I don't know if there will be other villagers killed next." I suspect that the murderer may have a grudge against your Linshan Village, first slaughtered the village, and when he saw someone fleeing, he came to chase and kill. ”
"Of course, this is just my guess."
Luo Qingfeng said suddenly: "You say, will the murderers be two?" One is a human and the other is a demon? The demon was killed that night, and that man was chased to the town? ”
If that's the case, then it makes sense why those demon slayers in the city didn't check out each other.
Nightingale groaned for a moment and said, "It's possible, or it's two demons." Later, I will inform the government and ask them to send someone down and re-check the population of the town to see if any strangers are entering the town on these two days. ”
Luo Qingfeng asked again, "Could it be a monster?" ”
He had read a short introduction to yokai in that book, and yokai seemed to be more powerful and mysterious than demons.
After the five villagers of Linshan Village came to the town, Wangxing City should have sent someone to check it, if it wasn't a demon, could it be a monster?
"Youkai?"
Nightingale was stunned when she heard this, then stopped, looked at him with a serious expression, and said, "I advise you not to mention these two words in the future." ”
Luo Qingfeng was puzzled: "Why?" ”
Nightingale narrowed her eyes and said, "Because it may cause you unnecessary trouble." ”
"Will there be trouble mentioning it?"
"Yes."
Nightingale replied with great seriousness, but did not explain further.
Luo Qingfeng was puzzled, so he had to change the topic: "By the way, I want to ask, can ordinary people cultivate like you?" How long does it take to practice? ”
Nightingale was slightly stunned when she heard this, and looked at him deeply and said, "Do you want to cultivate?" ”
Luo Qingfeng faced her gaze and didn't dodge: "Of course, who doesn't want to become stronger?" ”
Nightingale smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, everyone wants to become stronger, especially after seeing the demon, but ...... Not everyone has a chance. ”
There was a pause.
She said slowly: "If you want to embark on the path of cultivation, first, you need a very good talent, such a person, there may not be one out of thousands of people. Second, cultivation resources are needed, masters and exercises, as well as various pills, etc., are all cultivation resources, ordinary people can't even touch them, so how can they talk about cultivation? ”
"As for how long it takes for you to succeed in cultivation? It's hard to say, many people can't light up the star lantern in their lifetime, and there are many people who have successfully lit the star lantern, but they have been stuck on the star of Kaitian. Of course, there are also people who are geniuses and have continuous opportunities and can keep moving forward, but there are very few such people. ”
"As for you, ask yourself first, are you rich, talented, or resourceful?"
Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then what realm are you demon slayers?" ”
Nightingale laughed at herself, but did not hide it: "I have been wandering around the four stars of the open sky, and our captain is only open to the five stars, so I was frightened by that demon and ran away that night." The primary realm of our human cultivators is the Open Heaven realm, and the primary realm of the demon is the demon transformation, and that demon is the late stage of the demon transformation, which is much more powerful than a few of us. ”
Luo Qingfeng asked again, "Then how long does it take to become a true cultivator from an ordinary person?" ”
Nightingale glanced at him again and said, "Only when you completely light up the star lanterns in the sea of Fuhai can you be regarded as a true cultivator." If you want to light up the star lantern, you need to establish a connection with the stars in the sky first, and the whole process, it may take a month for those with good talent, and it may be possible for one year for those with ordinary talent. As for those who are not talented, it is impossible for a lifetime. ”
Luo Qingfeng was secretly surprised.
He has been practicing for two nights, how can he feel that he is almost completely lit up?
Could it be the blue font in his head?
"Okay, I won't tell you, you know it's useless, it's better to study hard, and come back when the time comes. Your good sister is going to be busy, remember to protect yourself. ”
The nightingale stroked his face lightly, and as soon as he got out of the alley, he became serious, and then walked away with his long legs.
Luo Qingfeng watched her slender back go away quickly, and didn't dare to stay on the street, so she went home directly.
Originally, he wanted to go to the store to check the situation, but for the sake of safety, he still didn't dare to go there.
With his current strength, what if he knows the truth?
It's only going to be more dangerous.
It's better to hurry up and practice hard!
I can't check it anymore for the time being, otherwise he will become a harmful Conan, where to go to the dead, it is even more weird than a murderer.
Walked through the alley and secretly returned to Song's house through the back door.
As soon as he entered the back door, he suddenly heard a "bang" in the small courtyard not far away, and there was a bang.
The courtyard of the eldest cousin?
Something happened again?
He was startled, and immediately walked over quickly.
The courtyard gate is hidden.
In the small courtyard, a figure in a blue robe was practicing boxing.
"Bang!"
I saw him punch a wooden stake in the courtyard, and the stake suddenly fell apart.
At this time, the excited voice of her cousin Yang Lan sounded: "Chuan'er, great! You've finally made it! ”
It was Song Chuan who practiced boxing.
He smashed the wooden stake with one punch, and after closing his fist, he was full of spirit, and said with a proud face: "Mother, as of today, it has been just three months, and it only took me three months to completely light up the star lantern." Master said that if you can completely light up the star lantern within five months, you will have a very promising future, and you will be trained by the rudder, and you will even get the attention of the sect. When the time comes, I will be able to fight for all kinds of cultivation resources, and I will not spend a penny on my family. ”
Yang Lan's voice was a little choked, and she cried with joy: "I knew that my family Chuan'er was a genius!" Your father's money was not spent in vain, and when he comes back in the evening, I will tell him that he must be happier than his mother. ”
Song Chuan smiled proudly.
Luo Qingfeng stood outside the door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be the sound of punching.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the eldest cousin has joined a certain sect, no wonder there are exercises to cultivate.
It was completely lit up in three months, and it seems that he has some talent.
He didn't dare to listen any more, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Song Chuan suddenly shouted in the door: "Who is outside!" ”
With that, his body flashed, and he rushed over and opened the door.
"Huh, it's you?"
Song Chuan was stunned for a moment when he saw him.
Yang Lan also came to the door, and when she saw him, she suddenly sank her face: "Aren't you sick and lying on the bed?" What are you doing here? ”
Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to stop, arch his hand, and said respectfully: "Uncle, cousin, I feel better, so I get up and walk around." When I just walked to the backyard, I suddenly heard a loud noise here, and thought something was wrong, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't think it was my cousin practicing martial arts. Sorry for the interruption. ”
Yang Lan's face suddenly turned cold: "Did you see Chuan'er practicing martial arts?" ”
Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "I only saw my cousin punch him." ”
Then he praised again: "My cousin is so powerful, he can break that stake with one punch, if it were me, I am afraid that I would not have the strength to break it with an axe." ”
When Song Chuan heard the praise, he was very useful, but he smiled sarcastically: "Practicing martial arts? Hehe, let's think it's martial arts. Hmph, when I get to the back of my practice, let alone a stake, even if it's a stone, or even a mountain, I can break it with one punch. ”
Luo Qingfeng praised again: "My cousin is really amazing. ”
Yang Lan said with a gloomy face: "Okay, go back to study, don't come back in the future, be careful that Chuan'er hurts you when she practices martial arts." You can't afford to bear this body, and if you're injured, we can't explain it to your cousin. ”
Luo Qingfeng surrendered.
After he walked away, Song Chuanfang sneered: "What a nerd, I don't even know about cultivation, I even say that I am practicing martial arts." Even if he was allowed to peek, what could he see? ”
Yang Lan said unhappily: "It's inconvenient to have outsiders at home." Your father is really, taking in one, taking in another, and we are not here to take in and ask for food. When he comes back tonight, I'll talk to him again. After all, if you want to cultivate, the cost will be huge in the future, where can you afford to support outsiders. ”
Luo Qingfeng returned to the small courtyard, and the scene he had just seen came to his mind.
The book says that in the realm of opening the sky and one star, using star power, the power increases dramatically, and the beast can be killed; The two-star realm can resist blows and destroy stubborn stones; In the three-star realm, the star power is spitting out, which can be turned into a fist and can destroy steel; When it reaches the five-star realm, the star power can even be released, and it can kill people from a distance of three meters......
In other words, in the one-star realm, it is already much more powerful than ordinary people.
The eldest cousin has just completely lit up the star lantern, that is, the one-star realm, and he will break the stake into pieces with one punch, if it hits a person's body, it is estimated that the bones will be broken, and it can indeed kill the beast.
Cultivators are indeed safer than ordinary people.
Thinking of this, he immediately closed the window and door, took out the cultivation exercise book again, and began to read it.
He decided to memorize both books in his mind word for word and destroy them all.
Now that the situation is uncertain and there is a crisis everywhere, he must be cautious.
Soon came evening.
Just as he was putting away the books and lying down on the bed, Su Zhao'er wore a red dress and ran into the small courtyard in a hurry, and then, a voice as crisp as a bell sounded: "Brother Afeng!" Brother Feng! I heard my cousin and aunt say that you are well, can we get married tonight? ”
Luo Qingfeng hurriedly closed his eyes.
After thinking about it, he "slammed" himself into the eye again.
