Chapter 14 The Power of One Star

in the courtyard.

A corpse lay on the ground covered in a pool of blood, lifeless.

A bloody hole opened in his chest.

At this time, bright red blood was gurgling out from inside.

The heart inside is missing!

It’s almost the same as the scene I saw at the Guanyin Temple last night!
A bone-chilling chill immediately enveloped Luo Qingfeng's whole body.

Nightingale held the knife and carefully checked the room first. After seeing nothing unusual, she walked out, squatted down in front of the corpse, and looked at it solemnly.

"It's that villager. I saw him that day. Judging from the wounds, just like the villager who was killed in Guanyin Temple, his heart was ripped out and he died. 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 such a coincidence? He was killed just as we were about to come for him."

Then his eyes flashed and he said: "No, I should say, you were just coming to find him."

Luo Qingfeng looked at the corpse on the ground with an ugly face and said nothing. He seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of him.

Nightingale stared at him for a while longer, stood up from the ground, and said in a slower voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm not doubting you. You don't have the ability, and you have no reason to kill. I'm just doubting this series of things. Is he targeting you? When you went to Linshan Village to welcome your bride, you encountered an illusion created by the devil..."

At this point, she suddenly frowned and said: "But that's not right. If it is really aimed at you, with the other party's strength, there is no need to spend so much time..."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly said: "I am coming to find this villager, and I have not told anyone except you."

Nightingale pondered: "Is it really a coincidence?"

Certainly not a coincidence.

Luo Qingfeng said secretly in his heart.

From last night to now, two villagers were killed one after another, just when he was preparing to go find them.

How could there be such a coincidence, two coincidences appearing together?
But he couldn't tell the woman in front of him about this yet, otherwise he would die if he alerted the enemy.

What happened that night in Linshan Village left a big shadow on him.

At the critical moment, these people didn't care about his life or death.

"Could the murderer be a demon?"

He asked a question that he was afraid of.

Nightingale looked solemn and stared at the blood hole on the corpse's chest for a while, then said: "I'm not sure yet, but I guess it is, and they need to conduct further inspections."

Paused.

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.

Nightingale took another cautious look around before leaving the courtyard.

She thought for a moment and said: "You and your bride should also be careful. Two villagers from Linshan Village were killed one after another. I don't know if other villagers will be killed next. I suspect that the murderer may follow you." There was a feud in the mountain village, so they massacred the village first, then when they saw someone escaping, they came to hunt them down."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly said: "Do you think there were two murderers? One was a human and the other was a demon? The demon was killed that night, and the man chased him to the small town?"

If this is the case, it makes sense why the demon slayers in the city did not detect the other party.

Nightingale pondered for a moment and said: "It's possible, or it could be two demons. I will notify the government later and ask them to send people down to check the entire town's population again to see if there are any strangers. Entering the town in the next two days."

Luo Qingfeng asked again: "Could it be a monster?"

He had read a brief introduction about monsters in that book. Monsters seemed to be more powerful and mysterious than demons.

After the five villagers from Linshan Village came to the town, Wangxing City should have specially sent people to check. If it was not a demon, could it be a monster?
"monster?"

Nightingale was stunned when she heard this, then stopped, looked at him seriously 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 any trouble if I mention it?"

"Yes."

Nightingale answered extremely seriously, but did not explain further.

Luo Qingfeng was confused and had to change the subject: "By the way, I want to ask, can ordinary people practice like you? How long does it take to practice to succeed?"

Nightingale was slightly startled when she heard this, looked at him deeply and said, "You want to practice?"

Luo Qingfeng faced her gaze and did not dodge: "Of course, who doesn't want to become powerful?"

Nightingale smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, everyone wants to become powerful, especially after seeing the devil, but... not everyone has the chance."

Paused.

She slowly said: "If you want to embark on the road of cultivation, first, you need a good talent. There may not be one such person among thousands of people. Second, you need cultivation resources, a master and techniques, and All kinds of elixirs, etc., are all resources for cultivation. Ordinary people can’t even come into contact with them, so how can they practice cultivation?”

"As for how long it takes to succeed in cultivation? It's hard to say. Many people are unable to light the star lantern throughout their lives. There are also many people who successfully light the star lantern but are stuck on the first star in the sky. Of course, there are also Man is endowed with talents, opportunities are endless, and he can keep moving forward, but there are very few people like that.”

"As for you, ask yourself first, do you have money and talent, or do you have resources?"

Luo Qingfeng was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Then what level are you demon slayers at?"

Nightingale laughed at herself and did not hide anything: "I have been wandering around the four stars in the sky, and our captain is only in the five stars in the sky, so I was scared by that demon and ran away that night. The primary state of us human cultivators is the sky. realm, and the primary realm of the demon is the demonic transformation, and that demon is in the late stage of the demonic transformation, and is much stronger than the rest of us."

Luo Qingfeng asked again: "How long does it take to transform from an ordinary person to a true cultivator?"

Nightingale glanced at him again and said: "Only when the star lantern in the mansion is completely lit can one be regarded as a true cultivator. If you want to light the star lantern, you need to establish contact with the stars in the sky first. The whole process, if you are talented, It may take a month. If you have average talent, it will be possible in a year. As for those who have no talent, it will be impossible in your lifetime."

Luo Qingfeng was secretly surprised.He only practiced for two nights, why did he feel like he was almost completely enlightened?
Could it be because of the blue font in his mind?

"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. You know it's useless. You'd better study hard and come back with a top score. Your good sister is going to be busy. Remember to protect yourself."

Nightingale caressed his face frivolously. After leaving the alley, she immediately became serious and walked away quickly with her long legs.

Luo Qingfeng watched her graceful back quickly go away, and did not dare to stay on the street, so he went straight back home.

Originally, he wanted to go to the store to see the situation, but for safety reasons, he still didn't dare to go there.

With his current strength, what if he knew the truth?

only more dangerous.

It’s better to seize the time and practice hard!

We can't investigate anymore for the time being, otherwise he will turn into a harmful Conan, killing people wherever he goes, and he will be even weirder than the murderer.

He walked through the alley and secretly returned to Song's house through the back door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the back door, he suddenly heard a "bang" and an explosion in the small courtyard not far away.

That eldest cousin’s courtyard?

He hesitated and walked over.

The courtyard door is ajar.

In the small courtyard, a figure wearing a blue robe was practicing boxing.

"boom!"

I saw him punching a wooden stake in the yard, and the wooden stake immediately fell into pieces.

At this time, cousin Yang Lan's excited voice sounded: "Chuan'er, great! You finally succeeded!"

It was Song Chuan who practiced boxing.

He smashed the wooden stake with one punch, and after withdrawing his fist, he said with high spirits and a proud face: "Mother, as of today, it has been exactly 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 bright future, and you will receive intensive training from the branch, and even get the attention of the sect. By then, I can fight for all kinds of cultivation resources. It won’t cost the family another penny.”

Yang Lan's voice was choked and she cried with joy: "I knew that my Chuan'er was a genius! Your dad's money was not wasted. When he comes back in the evening, I will tell him that he will be happier than my mother."

Song Chuan smiled proudly.

Luo Qingfeng stood outside the door, listening to the conversation between the two, and said secretly: It turns out that my eldest cousin has joined a certain sect, no wonder he is practicing martial arts.

It took three months to completely light up the star lantern, which seems to have some talent.

He didn't dare to listen any more and turned around to leave.

At this moment, Song Chuan suddenly shouted from the door: "Who is outside!"

After saying that, he flashed his body and rushed over to open the door.

"Hey, is that you?"

Song Chuan was stunned for a moment when he saw him.

Yang Lan also came to the door. When she saw him, her face suddenly darkened: "Aren't you sick and lying on the bed? What are you doing here?"

Luo Qingfeng had to stop, bowed his hands, and said respectfully: "Aunt, cousin, I feel better, so I got up and walked around. When I just walked to the backyard, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from here. I thought something had happened, so I came over to take a look, but I didn’t expect it was my cousin practicing martial arts. Sorry to bother you."

Yang Lan suddenly turned cold: "Have you seen Chuan'er practicing martial arts?"

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and said, "I only saw my cousin punch me."

Then he praised again: "My cousin is really powerful. He can break that wooden pile into pieces with one punch. If it were me, I wouldn't even have the strength to break it with an axe."

When Song Chuan heard the compliment, he was very pleased, but he smiled sarcastically: "Practice martial arts? Haha, just think of it as martial arts practice. Hum, when I practice to the end, let alone a mere wooden stake, even a stone, or even a mountain , I can break it with one punch."

Luo Qingfeng praised again: "My cousin is so awesome."

Yang Lan said with a gloomy face: "Okay, go back to study. Don't come back here again. Be careful that Chuan'er hurts you when he is practicing martial arts. Your body and bones cannot withstand it. If you are injured, we can't help you." My cousin told me."

Luo Qingfeng resigned.

After he walked away, Song Chuanfang sneered: "What a nerd, he doesn't even know about cultivation, and he actually said it was martial arts training. Even if he peeked, what would he see?"

Yang Lan said unhappily: "It's just inconvenient to have outsiders at home. Your father is really good at taking in one and then another. We don't take in beggars here. When he comes back tonight, I will go and talk to him. . After all, if you want to practice, your expenses will be huge in the future. How can you afford to support outsiders?"

Luo Qingfeng returned to the small courtyard, and the scene he just saw appeared in his mind.

The book says that in the realm of one star in the sky, one can use star power to increase their power and kill ferocious beasts; in the realm of two stars, one can withstand blows and destroy stubborn rocks; in the three-star realm, one can spit out star power and turn it into fists and weapons. , can destroy steel; when you reach the five-star realm, your star power can even be released outward, and you can kill people ten feet away...

In other words, a one-star realm is already much more powerful than ordinary people.

The eldest cousin had just completely lit up the star lantern, which was the one-star realm, and he punched the wooden stake into pieces. If it hit a person, the bones would probably be broken, and it could indeed kill a ferocious beast.

Practitioners are indeed more secure than ordinary people.

Thinking of this, he immediately closed the window and door, took out the practice book, and started reading.

He decided to memorize both books verbatim in his mind and then destroy them all.

Now that the situation is unclear and there are crises everywhere, he must be cautious.

Soon came the evening.

Just as he was putting away his books and lying down on the bed, Su Zhaoer, dressed in a red dress, ran into the small courtyard in a hurry. Then, a voice as clear as a bell rang: "Brother Afeng! Brother Afeng! I heard my cousin say you." Now that you are well, can we go to the church to get married tonight?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly closed his eyes.

After thinking for a while, he punched himself in the eye again.
