Chapter 53 The Crimson Moon Blade!

The moonlight was bright and clear.

The streets were brightly lit, and there were still many pedestrians.

The restaurants and teahouses were exceptionally lively.

Unfortunately, these are the lives of the wealthy, which Luo Qingfeng cannot enjoy right now.

He returned to the North Campus.

As they entered the library's attic, Granny Ning, the gatekeeper, appeared at the door and said expressionlessly, "Come back earlier next time, or no one will open the door for you."

Then he added, "If you want to take a bath, go to the well in the backyard to fetch water. There's a kitchen there, so you can boil the water yourself. But remember, you can't expose your body in the backyard, you can't relieve yourself anywhere, and you definitely can't go to floors above the third floor."

Luo Qingfeng bowed his head and said, "Yes, Mother-in-law."

Grandma Ning ignored him and went to close the door.

Luo Qingfeng went up to the second floor, entered the room in the dark, and found that someone had been in the room before.

On the table were oil lamps, candles, tinderboxes, and other items.

He thought for a moment, lit the oil lamp, left the room, and walked to the outermost row of bookshelves.

When he was tidying up the bookshelves during the day, he seemed to have seen them before. On the first shelf, there were several books introducing the various counties and cities of the Great Yan Dynasty, as well as several stacks of maps.

Coincidentally, he needed to learn about the Great Buddha Temple in the west of the city.

After searching the bookshelf for a while, I found a map and introduction to Wangxing County.

He quickly grabbed the books and map, walked to the seat by the window, sat down, placed the candle, and began to search carefully.

Soon, he found information about the Great Buddha Temple.

"Dafo Temple, also known as Dafo Rulai Temple, was once the largest temple in Wangxing, renowned for the profound Buddhist teachings of its abbot, Master Kumu..."

Luo Qingfeng carefully examined each sentence under the lamplight.

After reviewing all the materials, he took a short while to process them and then opened the map.

The map shows that Dafosi Temple is located southwest of Wangxing City, on Cangshan Mountain, only about 20 li away from Wangxing City. There are two villages and a river at the foot of the mountain...

Luo Qingfeng carefully memorized all of this.

Whether or not you'll need it, you should at least make some preparations in advance, so you don't arrive at the last minute and have no idea what to do.

After looking at it several more times, he got up and put the books and maps back on the bookshelf, then took the oil lamp and went back to his room.

After locking the door, he blew out the oil lamp, thought carefully for a while, and then walked to the window and sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, data appeared in his mind.

[Process 1]

[Creation Heaven Five Star Realm, Progress: Thirty-Two]

It seems that only by slaying demons can the progress of the first line increase rapidly.

As for the second line of data, one can only cultivate it slowly; killing demons and fighting should also have an effect.

Then, he looked at the red bead in his dantian.

When he reached the third level of the Heavenly Opening Realm, he activated his star power to collide with it, and suddenly the "Crimson Thorn" technique appeared. Now he has reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Opening Realm, and hopefully there will be more surprises.

Hold your breath, concentrate, and calm your mind.

Then, he suddenly unleashed the stellar energy of the five stars of the Creation Realm, crashing it into the red orb.

"Whoosh!"

Crimson light bursts forth!

Sure enough, many more densely packed small characters and some blurry pictures appeared, then quickly flooded into his mind and were imprinted in his memory.

"The Crimson Moon Blade... it's actually a sword technique!"

Luo Qingfeng suppressed his excitement and immediately began to examine it carefully.

In my memory, there were illustrations of the moves, along with detailed explanations, as well as another huge picture of a blood-red moon in the sky, with the words "Comprehend the sword intent by looking at the picture" written below.

Luo Qingfeng first memorized all the moves, and then read the explanations below several times.

One hour later.

He got up, took out the Demon Slayer Sword from his storage bag, gripped the hilt with both hands, closed his eyes, and began practicing each move according to the imagery in his mind.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

A silent night, a pitch-black room.

A broken, shattered knife was being swung slowly and clumsily.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating only that small section of the floor.

Occasionally, the blade would emerge from the dark shadows, slicing across the moonlit area, leaving only a shadow, without revealing any of the luster of a fine sword.

But this was the only weapon the boy inside the house possessed.

After practicing the moves, he paused briefly, carefully pondered the explanations, and then started practicing again.

After several repetitions, his movements became faster and more skillful.

Outside the window, the night gradually faded away.

He didn't put away his knife until dawn. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he went to bed to take a nap.

We need to go to the Great Buddha Temple during the day, so I need to sleep for a while, even if it's just half an hour.

I closed my eyes, but the image of "The Crimson Moon and the Azure Sky" suddenly appeared in my mind.

In the picture, a huge, blood-red full moon almost occupies the entire night sky, surrounded by some blurry stars.

There is nothing else besides that.

"Understanding sword intent from pictures?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at the picture carefully, but couldn't make anything out of it.

"Never mind, let's go to sleep first."

He immediately banished the image from his mind and drifted off to sleep.

at the same time.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the first row of bookshelves outside.

She wore a loose gray-white robe, had a tall and curvaceous figure, and long, black hair that was loosely draped over her waist. Her hands were fair and slender.

She took a book and a map from the bookshelf, glanced at them casually, and then put them back.

Then they left silently and went upstairs.

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

After getting up, Luo Qingfeng went downstairs, washed up briefly in the backyard, and then left the Demon Suppression Academy.

This time, he climbed over the wall of the North Campus directly.

Walking down the street, he carefully searched the stalls on both sides and soon found a stall selling masks.

I spent a few coins and bought two masks.

One is a black cat, and the other is a white rabbit.

Then, I went to the clothing store and bought two sets of the most ordinary black outfits, one large and one small.

When we arrived at Red Leaf Alley, Aya was already waiting there.

The girl was still wearing that patched black dress, leaning against the wall of the alleyway, lost in thought, holding a piece of pancake wrapped in oil paper in her hand.

Upon seeing him, the girl's eyes immediately lit up.

"Let's go."

Luo Qingfeng didn't say much and simply took her away.

Time is of the essence. If we can't get back with this girl tonight, Nightingale will probably go crazy.

Aya followed behind and handed him the pancake in her hand.

My sister made three cards this morning, one for each person. She kept hers as a reward for him.

She was a little worried in the alley just now, thinking that this person might have lied to her last night and might not come today, after all, it was so dangerous, and he and her sister didn't have a very good relationship.

If that's the case, she'll go alone and never talk to him again. She'll also go find him to get her money back.

Thankfully, he really was a good person and actually came.

So, let's reward him with the pancake.

Luo Qingfeng took the pancake and found it was cold, but he still ate it.

Halfway through his meal, he suddenly realized what was happening, turned around, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Aya shook his head blankly, then nodded hurriedly. Because he was lying, he started nodding like a chick pecking at rice to show that he really ate it.

Luo Qingfeng tore off the part he had just bitten, then gave the rest back to her, saying, "Eat something; we still have a long way to go."

Aya glanced at him again before reaching out to take it.

Luo Qingfeng led her out of the south gate, took a long detour, and walked to the road in the west of the city. Then he quickened his pace and passed through deserted paths and woods.

They walked for about half an hour.

Luo Qingfeng stopped in a grove of trees, took out a set of black tight-fitting clothes and a white rabbit mask from his storage bag, and handed them to her, saying, "Change into these clothes and put on the mask too. What we're going to do this time violates the rules of the Demon Suppression Academy and will offend many people. If we get caught, the consequences will be severe."

Aya accepted the clothes and the white rabbit mask, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Her gaze fell on the little white rabbit mask, and she pouted slightly, seemingly not quite satisfied with the cute look.

Luo Qingfeng didn't say much to her. He took his clothes, walked behind some bushes not far away, and started changing.

Aya immediately went behind a thicket further away, peeked out again, and then hid inside.

Not long after.

Both of them had changed their clothes and were wearing masks.

Aya's two exposed eyes were fixed on the black cat mask on his face, as if she found it somewhat comical.

"Let's go."

Luo Qingfeng immediately quickened his pace.

Because both of them were cultivators, they could travel very quickly and maintain their physical strength.

When the two arrived at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, the sun was already high in the sky.

"By the way, Aya, what is your cultivation level?"

Luo Qingfeng suddenly remembered something important.

Upon hearing this, Aya shook her head, looking dazed.

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Is it that you don't know, or that you don't want to say?"

Aya shook her head blankly again.

Helpless, Luo Qingfeng could only ask again, "I'm now at the fifth level of the Opening Heaven Realm. Can you beat me?"

Without warning, he suddenly punched her in the stomach.

Aya seemed not to have reacted, but just as the fist was about to touch her, she suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to turn around to look for her, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He turned his head and saw a sword pressed against his neck from behind.

"Impressive footwork!"

Luo Qingfeng sincerely praised her, deflected the sword's edge, turned around to look at the girl behind him, and asked with some confusion, "Your strength is clearly stronger than your sister's, so why...?"

He didn't continue, because he suddenly remembered what the nightingale had said last night.

This girl can't speak and is very self-conscious. She doesn't dare to go out and communicate with others. What use is all her skills?

Fortunately, she can now help her sister with some things.

"When you go up later, remember to listen to my instructions. Killing the demon is secondary; preserving your life is the most important thing."

Luo Qingfeng gave careful instructions.

Aya sheathed her sword and nodded blankly.

"Let's go, let's exorcise the demon!"

A surge of heroic spirit welled up in Luo Qingfeng's heart.

The two went up the mountain from the back.

At this time, there were still some pilgrims and porters on the front mountain.

Although the Great Buddha Temple has declined in popularity, people still go there to worship and offer incense every day.

at the same time.

In the south courtyard of the Demon Suppression Academy, as Nightingale was checking the quests on the quest log, a tall young man dressed in dark blue robes came to her side.

"Junior Sister Ye, haven't you made up your mind yet?"

Yuan Fang looked at the tall and beautiful young woman in front of him with a smile, behaving very politely.

Nightingale turned to look at him, her face immediately turning cold.

She didn't say anything, turned around and left quickly.

Yuan Fang smiled faintly and didn't press the matter further. He then looked at the various tasks posted on the task board in front of him.

"We've already accepted the mission from the Great Buddha Temple. That golden lotus beneath the Buddha is already in my possession, Yuan Fang. Let's see how long you can hold out..."

"Then, I'll make you beg me for mercy!"

He gave a cold laugh and turned to leave.
