After sending the message, Shang Lin left the group chat, so he paid attention to everyone's messages. Instead, he searched online for information about the Blood Moon. It has to be said that his search was quite comprehensive, as it covered at least two versions from different cultural backgrounds.
One theory suggests that in ancient foreign countries, people considered the blood moon an ominous sign. Because the red color of the moon is reminiscent of blood, it was seen as a symbol of impending war and disaster. Many folk tales claim that after the appearance of a blood moon, plagues, floods, and other calamities would follow.
One theory suggests that in ancient Chinese culture, a blood moon was also considered an ominous sign. Some believe that a blood moon foretells turmoil in the land, potentially leading to injustices or major upheavals.
Oh, and from a scientific perspective, a blood moon is an astronomical phenomenon. When the moon enters the Earth's umbra, sunlight is refracted through the Earth's atmosphere, and red light is projected onto the moon's surface, making the moon appear red.
But the human world and the cultivation world are different after all. Shang Lin, an outsider, really doesn't know what to do or what kind of preparations to make beforehand.
Although the Blood Moon is still a few days away, all I can do is summon all my disciples back and take them into the Dragon Spirit Tower. As for myself...
Shang Lin subconsciously touched his chest, wondering if there was anything wrong. After all, he still had his monthly exam at the end of the month, and he couldn't very well wait for the Blood Moon to end in the Dragon Spirit Tower like the other disciples.
Shang Lin wanted to investigate the Blood Moon further when Chang Feng returned. He subconsciously checked the time; it wasn't that fast, was it?
Changfeng had obviously thought of Shang Lin's question, and he explained directly, "It was my first time going out by myself, and I didn't know the way very well, so I was a little slow."
Shang Lin, "..."
Who knew Blade & Soul could have someone who gets lost so easily? Well, that's not surprising, since modern and ancient cities are very different. Without navigation, everyone could be directionally challenged.
But going somewhere else is one thing, but coming back to me, do I need to remember the route? What's the purpose of a servitude contract? Well, Changfeng might have forgotten, or he might not even know that a servitude contract is bidirectional.
Shang Lin hurriedly handed the SIM card to Chang Feng, saying, "500 minutes of calls and 50GB of data per month. Use it as you see fit; you generally won't exceed the limit."
Changfeng glanced at what Shang Lin was holding, but didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he silently handed him his phone. "I... don't know how to use it?"
"It's very simple." Shang Lin kindly taught Chang Feng once, then said, "I need to rest now. As for the other functions, go ask them in the tower."
"good."
Will the Blood Moon also affect the sword spirit? Especially since Longblade is so fierce. Although it has restrained its ferocity now, wouldn't it revert to its true nature in no time if it is affected by a strong external force?
After thinking for a while, Shang Lin went to the fellow cultivators' group to check the messages. Such a big thing couldn't possibly go unnoticed. After searching for a while, he saw a message posted by Liu Nian from the Divine Medicine Sect:
The night was as black as ink, so thick it seemed impossible to see through. In the sky, a huge blood moon slowly rose, like a giant eyeball soaked in blood, coldly overlooking all things in the world.
The blood moon's halo, a strange, dark red, flowed and surged as if it were tangible, staining the surrounding clouds with a terrifying hue. The clouds twisted and tangled, as if manipulated by an invisible hand. The once tranquil night sky was now filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Moonlight spilled across the earth, casting a blood-red hue over everything it touched. The normally lush forest, now bathed in the blood moon's glow, cast dappled and distorted shadows, resembling countless menacing demons. Even the babbling brooks within the woods shimmered with a crimson light, as if flowing not of water, but of scalding blood…
Shang Lin was taken aback. Could this be what happens when the Blood Moon arrives? Why doesn't this mention the Blood Moon's effects on other beings? He continued searching, unwilling to give up, but the earliest news was posted by Yu Qingfeng about the Tai Sui.
So, is it that they don't know, or that it's inconvenient for them to say it in the group? The text that Liu Nian posted might be about their Divine Medicine Sect's experience during the Blood Moon.
Shang Lin put down his phone and called She Jinxing out. As soon as he appeared, he asked with a look of doubt, "It's so late, why isn't the sect leader resting yet?"
Shang Lin didn't want to waste time, so he asked directly, "Do you know about the Blood Moon? Do you know what kind of impact that day has on other beings?"
"A blood moon?" She Jinxing thought about it seriously. "I don't really feel anything, because every time this happens, I stay hidden somewhere and try not to be exposed to the moonlight or even look at the moon. As for the impact on other strange beings, it will probably amplify the evil thoughts in their hearts, right?"
After saying that, She Jinxing realized, "Why did the sect leader suddenly ask about this? Is the Blood Moon approaching?"
"Yes, at the end of the month."
"Really? I didn't even notice. Wait a minute..." She Jinxing looked at Shang Lin in surprise, "The team building that the sect leader mentioned in the group just now, could it be the day of the Blood Moon?"
“Well, I don’t know what effect the Blood Moon will have on other beings. I can’t find this information online either, which is why I wanted to call everyone back, including Ji Xiaoyao. I suspect the Blood Moon might have a greater impact on ghost cultivators. Qiu Niang’s parents are with her now, so he should be fine if he leaves for a day.”
"Then I'll inform General Ji that the sect leader should get some rest so he won't be unable to get up in the morning."
"good."
Shang Lin obediently lay down to rest, and She Jinxing also returned to the Dragon Spirit Tower. However, after returning, he belatedly realized that the sect leader was worried about them, but what about the sect leader himself? He wasn't a truly human being either!
She Jinxing hurriedly took out his phone to check the calendar. The end of the month was not only not the time for the sect leader to have a holiday, but it was also the time for his monthly exam. He hoped that he wouldn't have to attend evening classes for the monthly exam, otherwise they would all be in the Dragon Spirit Tower while the sect leader was alone outside...
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't feel safe. Besides, there are still those evil spirits in the city that have disappeared. If they cause trouble on the night of the Blood Moon, wouldn't the sect leader be in even more danger? No, no, I have to stay by the sect leader's side on the day of the Blood Moon.
Then She Jinxing sent a message to Ji Xiaoyao: There will be a blood moon at the end of this month, and the sect leader is summoning all disciples back to the Dragon Spirit Tower.
Ji Xiaoyao replied after a while: Okay.
She Jinxing: How did the blood moon affect you?
Ji Xiaoyao: It's alright.
That means it has an impact, but as Ji Xiaoyao's cultivation level increases, the impact is not so great!
She Jinxing: What about Xing Tian?
Ji Xiaoyao: As long as we don't leave the Dragon Spirit Tower, there shouldn't be any problems!
She Jinxing: Okay, I understand. Come back on time.
Ji Xiaoyao: Okay.
