Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 417 Don't let me catch you next time!

Gu Qingyue asked tentatively. She had been longing for it for a long time. She also wanted to be like that old monk, to fly up and become a ghost.

"Lightness skill? What kind of ultimate technique is that?" Master Liaochen asked, puzzled.

Gu Qingyue: Uh... I choked.

She wanted to say, "Run away quickly!"

"Then, your fancy grappling techniques?"

Gu Qingyue continued.

Master Liaochen nearly choked on his saliva upon hearing this. He gave Gu Qingyue a meaningful look. "A dazzling array of grappling techniques? You want to learn my secret skills?"

"What? Old monk, do you still remember the time you beat me so badly? I was bedridden for days, unable to move at all. Don't you feel even a little bit guilty?"

Gu Qingyue was still indignant. She still remembered being ambushed by the old monk for no reason last time and spitting blood.

Upon hearing this, the old monk's lips twitched even more violently.

Didn't you recover from vomiting blood clots last time? You acted so swiftly, and now you're saying you're going home to lie down and can't move?

Now Ci'en Temple has come to ambush me again, and I'm feeling incredibly agitated. Are they trying to play the victim now? Do they even want to learn my special skills?

This little girl is really good at scheming!

As expected...

Alas! However, thinking of the dangers she might encounter in the future, Master Liaochen pondered for a few moments, then reached into his robes and took out a long box, handing it to Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue's heart skipped a beat. Where did this old monk hide the box?

Such a big box... Where was it placed when the fight was going on?

space?!

"Go, practice well, and don't tarnish your master's reputation," he said, and then disappeared.

Gu Qingyue was left dumbfounded!

This...this...this old monk is not only a charlatan and a ghost, but he also has a spatial dimension?!

Gu Qingyue leaped into the darkness; she was going to ask her some more questions.

Upon arriving at the private room, Gu Qingyue saw the candlelight inside and pondered how to ask the question.

Having made up her mind, she took off her mask and raised her hand to knock on the door.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, Gu Qingyue bumped into the face of the kind-looking little monk.

"Benefactor? Is there something you need?" The little monk was quite curious to see Gu Qingyue arrive so late, wondering what she was doing there.

"I consulted Master Chen," Gu Qingyue said politely, her voice gentle.

"Our grandmaster has gone on a pilgrimage," the young monk said gently.

Gu Qingyue choked on a mouthful of blood.

Have you gone on a wandering journey?

The old monk really was a ghost!

Didn't we say we'd go traveling around in a while?

They left before half a cup of tea had been brewed?

Gu Qingyue was suddenly furious! This old monk was doing it on purpose!

snort!

Don't let me catch you next time!

Angry, Gu Qingyue returned to her room, placed the box on the table, and examined it carefully for a long time, resting her chin on her hands.

I couldn't figure out what was going on.

This is just an ordinary wooden box, without any patterns, hidden locks, or mechanisms.

With a simple gesture, it opened.

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched.

However, her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside.

A book, a key, and a bamboo flute.

Gu Qingyue looked bewildered and confused.

She reached out and took out the key, examining it. The pattern was nice, and the shape was unique. She was completely bewildered.

He took out his xiao (vertical bamboo flute), blew on it, and the tone was ethereal and beautiful. Still completely bewildered.

Until she reached out and took out a book. The book had no title. She opened the first page and looked at it: "The Record of Picking Flowers Under the Moon".

What... thing?

Storybook?

Upon opening the second page, Gu Qingyue was immediately stunned.

It's a martial arts manual!!

With its rich combination of pictures and text, Gu Qingyue found it increasingly exquisite the more she looked at it.

Isn't that the old monk's grappling technique?!

So it was the skill of picking flowers under the moon?

No wonder! Just hearing the name makes it sound amazing!

I completely forgot that I had just seen the name and thought it was a storybook.

The more Gu Qingyue looked, the more eager she became; she wanted to start practicing right now!

So, after reading the first chapter, she swept everything into her space and then flew to the vicinity of the back door.

"Moon!" Gu Yuanen's voice came from behind.

Gu Qingyue turned around and saw Gu Yuanen flying over.

"Where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue smiled slightly, pulled Gu Yuanen to a quiet corner, and whispered a few words in his ear in a mysterious low voice.

Gu Yuanen was excited. "Take it out quickly, let me see it."

Can you not be excited?

He couldn't sleep and thought about going to visit his younger sister and mother in their courtyard, but he felt uneasy. He was still wary of Prince An and was afraid that he would send someone to plot against his mother again.

But as soon as he arrived, he saw his younger sister leap out of the room and head towards him. Thinking something serious had happened, he quickly chased after her.

As a result, his younger sister gave him a big surprise!

Ever since his younger sister told him that Master Chen was a top-notch expert, he had been thinking about how to improve his martial arts as soon as possible, so that he could help his younger sister get revenge for the injury she suffered last time.

I can't believe my little sister managed to get her hands on the old monk's secret manual so quickly!

Learn! You must learn!!

So the brother and sister practiced and explored in front of the low house in the backyard until dawn, and finally managed to find some tricks and get the basics down.

The main point is that mastering this martial art requires excellent eyesight, hearing, hand speed, and abundant internal energy.

The two siblings were exceptionally talented in martial arts and had undergone two body tempering sessions, making them top-tier individuals. It took them several hours to even grasp the basics, demonstrating the difficulty of this manual.

This is an excellent guide!

Gu Qingyue decided that all her older brothers wanted to learn as well.

When we meet Mu Yun Chu, we'll have him learn it too. It would be a waste not to share such a useful martial art.

Of course, disciples in Moon Shadow Pavilion who have the aptitude should also learn from it.

In other people's minds, top-level martial arts manuals must be hidden away and secretly learned and practiced, then used to amaze everyone and make them all fall to their hands. This is the correct way to use a manual.

But Gu Qingyue was different. In her mind, how could she not let the people around her learn useful and effective martial arts manuals?

What if I can't beat my opponent by myself?

Even a group fight needs top-notch helpers!

Master Liaochen never expected that the martial arts manual he had treasured for many years would turn into a cabbage.

However, even if they knew, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

Since "The Record of Picking Flowers Under the Moon" was given to Gu Qingyue, it naturally belongs to Gu Qingyue, and he will not interfere with how she uses it.

The next morning, the brother and sister accompanied Qin Shi to bid farewell to Abbess Miao En and descend the mountain.

Qin originally wanted to say goodbye to Master Liaochen, but Abbot Miao'en said that the master had gone on a pilgrimage again and it might be a few years before she could see him again.

Qin had no choice but to give up.

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched. What do you mean by "wandering"? They've really run away.

However, Gu Qingyue was still a little puzzled. It seemed that Master Liaochen had known her for a long time, both last time and this time.

He even specifically warned me about the impending calamity and left me with such a precious martial arts manual as "The Moonlit Flower Picking Record"...

Is he really a charlatan? Or... did he know me before?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue was stunned.
