At this very moment, in front of Dead Water Island, that taboo mountain feared by countless people...
Countless outposts turned on their searchlights at this moment, illuminating the surrounding area of the Forbidden Mountain from time to time.
In every outpost, there are a large number of Qi trainers stationed.
At this time... In a certain outpost, at the highest level, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged man stood there, observing the Forbidden Mountain.
A middle-aged man is holding a pair of binoculars to observe the situation of Forbidden Mountain.
"How?" The middle-aged man next to the middle-aged man showed an uneasy look: "Us?"
"It's not very good." The middle-aged man looked very serious, put down the binoculars, and said: "In recent years, the seals set by the priests on the Forbidden Mountain with the power of the moon shadow have shown signs of instability. Tonight is the Bone Night Festival , the situation is even more... "
"Then, do you want to report to the priest right away?"
"Tonight is the Bone Night Festival, so don't disturb the priest."
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Station Master Yu... I have been working here for five years. Since I graduated from Hongluo College, I have been working hard here... But, I still don't understand..."
"In the end, what is there in the Forbidden Mountain? Station Master Yu, do you know?"
Stationmaster Yu's hand holding the binoculars also trembled slightly.
"I also... don't know. It's just that it is definitely something terrible. In any case, we must assist the priest, and the seal must not be broken! Absolutely!"
Afterwards, he said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "How long can this island last?"
This outpost is the closest one to the Moon Shadow Temple.
Moon Shadow Temple is a place of pilgrimage on Deadwater Island. Every believer of the Shadow God of the Moon will come here for pilgrimage. However, under normal circumstances, parents would not allow their children to arrive before the age of twenty. After all, the Moon Shadow Temple was at the foot of the Forbidden Mountain.
There are priests and four of the island's best Qi trainers stationed in the Moon Shadow Temple, which can be said to be the five most noble priests under the Moon Shadow God. The status is like the pope and cardinal of the Holy See! All the civil servants of the island office can be appointed and removed at will with just a word from the priest, so it can be said that they have supreme power.
"With the priest here... it should... it shouldn't matter, right?"
Stationmaster Yu then heaved a sigh of relief, and said to the middle-aged man, "Wu Xiu, continue to monitor. We will go see the priest right away as soon as the Bone Night Festival is over."
"Yes! Station Master Yu!"
This island, in this night, is destined to be a sleepless night. I don't know how many people have drawn the joker, and it's not known how many people have faced curses because of it.
What's more, I don't know... how fearful these people who fought on the outskirts of the Forbidden Mountain spent the night.
And at this moment, in the Moon Shadow Temple.
In the deepest part of the temple...
At this moment, a young man in a brocade robe was sitting in front of a futon. In front of him was a ten-meter-tall Moon Shadow God Statue!
This is the largest statue among the statues that have been opened on Deadwater Island!
And at this moment, the man in the brocade robe suddenly opened his eyes!
He couldn't help looking at the Moon Shadow God Statue in front of him.
The Moon Shadow God Statue always faces everyone. But because of this, this statue is even more awe-inspiring.
The man in brocade robe looked at the Moon Shadow God Statue in front of him, and after a long time, he opened his mouth slowly.
"Sky Eternal Star!"
As soon as the words fell, the door behind him was gently opened, and a young man knelt there and said softly, "My lord, what are your orders?"
"There's something I need you to do."
The young man named Tian Yongxing nodded and replied: "Please speak."
"The woods south of Central Town, go there and do what you have to do."
This sentence made Tian Yongxing very stunned.
"My lord, tonight is... the Bone Night Festival..."
You know, a word from the priest is an absolute order! Under normal circumstances, Tian Yongxing would never question the order of the priest.
"Do what you have to do."
The priest just said so.
"Yes... my lord priest."
The will of the priest is the will of Moon Shadow, there is no doubt about it. Therefore, his orders cannot be disobeyed.
Tian Yongxing didn't say any more, and retreated slowly.
The priest looked at the statue in front of him and remained silent.
At this time, Ye Xiang could no longer obtain information about Jiang Shuyan's life and death. He no longer has any ability to resist, and can only struggle desperately. However, this struggle is meaningless.
Even his consciousness had begun to gradually become blurred, and finally, he passed out completely.
After he fainted, his consciousness began to drift in the void.
"Xu Yun, look carefully, this is the Moon Shadow God who guards our backwater island."
This is... Xu Yun's memory
In my memory, the first time I saw the statue of the Moon Shadow God, I felt a strong sense of fear. Always turn your back on your own image.
"Father... this idol, is it upside down?"
"Xu Yun, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Ying immediately covered Xu Yun's mouth, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, the statue of Moon Shadow God is like this."
"Ah? But... what about the front of the statue?"
"All the statues carved on the island are only carved from the back. However, when the Moon Shadow Festival is held in the future, the Moon Shadow God will turn his body around."
"what?"
For a naive child, this is a very scary thing.
Since the statue didn't carve out the front of the god, then... why did the statue turn around to reveal the front of the body? This is too ridiculous, right
However, the words of parents will never be doubted by children.
This was the first impression Yueying gave him.
"Also, Xu Yun, remember, you must become a Qi trainer. It is the greatest honor of our family to become a clergyman who serves the Moon Shadow God for life."
"Air Trainer?"
"Being a Qi trainer allows you to communicate with the Moon Shadow God. For example, the order that you must never enter the Forbidden Mountain was learned through the Moon Shadow God's will."
From that day on, Moon Shadow became the only god Xu Yun could trust and pray to. And this belief has become the greatest reliance on Xu Yun's survival so far.
And on this island, almost everyone depends on the Moon Shadow God for survival. It can be said that people's daily life can hardly be separated from Moon Shadow.
For example, Deadwater Island is an isolated island that has no connection with the outside world at all. Therefore, it develops a self-sufficient natural economy. The currency economy is not the mainstream, and agriculture is the foundation. business" tendency. On this island, food is an absolute hard currency. Therefore, once the agricultural harvest is not good, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, every year, the Island Office will ask the Moon Shadow God which land to sow, which crops to mainly plant, which days will be good, and whether there will be a severe drought in the next few years. reserve. At the same time, how to carry out the reform of agricultural technology, and how to obtain a bumper harvest with maximum yield, without exception, you need to ask Moon Shadow.
And any answer given by Yueying will never be wrong. So for so many years, Deadwater Island has always had a good harvest, and has never experienced a crisis of food shortage. You must know that the island and the surrounding waters are unable to develop animal husbandry and fishery due to the phenomenon of death of living beings, so agriculture is the lifeblood and foundation of the island. Food is the most important thing for the people, and Moon Shadow guarantees the basic livelihood of everyone on this island, so everyone respects Moon Shadow like a god, so the orders given by the will of Moon Shadow God like "Bone Night Festival" are absolute. Obey it, and dare not violate it in the slightest. In addition, if the people on the island want to predict the future, or if they are confused about work and love, they will go to the Moon Shadow Temple to seek answers. Therefore, the Moon Shadow Temple has continued to burn incense all year round.
However, in fact, Moon Shadow God will not only herald the "Bone Night Festival". In addition, the "Oracle" will also be issued through the Moon Shadow Temple on weekdays. "Bone Night Festival" is not the most famous of them.
But…
What kind of god is the so-called "Moon Shadow God"
Just when Ye Xiang's consciousness sank into a deeper darkness, he suddenly felt that a powerful hand grabbed him tightly, and then... dragged him out of the deep darkness!
