In the courtyard of the Xu family, several servants were cleaning the courtyard, not daring to slack off in their work.
The Xu family is not only one of the largest landowners on the backwater island, Xu Ying, the big landowner, is also the chief clerk of the island office appointed by the priest himself, with a detached position.
"Lingxi?"
A gardener who was pruning branches in the courtyard saw Han Lingxi, and hurried forward, said with a smile, "Are you here to find Master Xu Yun?"
"Yes." Lingxi nodded and said, "Uncle Zong, is Xu Yun still there?"
"Well... the young master left early in the morning."
"left?"
"Yeah... Speaking of which, just now, two adults from the Moon Shadow Temple came over!"
For this Uncle Gardener, the people of the Moon Shadow Temple are like gods, and when they speak, they are full of awe.
"Leaving early in the morning?"
Suspicion appeared on Lingxi's face, but... for the actor Yueguang, he naturally knew everything.
Xu Yun, he has drawn a wild card.
And this is just the beginning.
All the crazy follow-up... just a prologue.
At this time, beside a farmland in Zhongxin Town, two men in white robes were walking.
"Senior Brother," said one of the men in white robes with a rounder face, "Although you told me not to ask...but why did the priest want us to count the card draws at the Bone Night Festival? I have been in the Moon Shadow Temple for ten years. It's been more than a year, and there has never been a precedent for the Bone Night Festival in the past."
"Yunzhen!" said the man in white robe known as senior brother: "The order of the priest is the will of the Moon Shadow God, how can you question it so easily!"
After being silent for a while, Yun Zhen said, "However... this time, the number of card draws every night has indeed increased a lot, especially... families with a relatively small population, the increase is particularly obvious."
"I don't need you to tell me about this. A family with only one person actually draws ten times in one night. Because of this reason, the number of families who draw ghost cards has increased significantly..."
"Yes. In less than ten families, there is at least one family where someone has drawn a wild card."
"Is it important to record all the families who have drawn the joker cards?"
"That's nature! It's all here."
"That's good. After returning to the Moon Shadow Temple, you must report to the priest! But... I really didn't expect that Secretary Xu's son actually got a ghost card!"
What it means to draw a wild card is still a mystery.
But at this moment, Yun Zhen and his senior brother suddenly stopped in their tracks!
However, the two looked in the direction of the Moon Shadow Temple and knelt down at the same time!
As priests serving the Moon Shadow God, they all have the ability to communicate with the Moon Shadow God, and this ability has penetrated into their souls.
At that moment just now, both of them had a strong feeling.
The Moon Shadow God... issued an oracle!
And at this moment, in the Moon Shadow Temple, the bell rang!
The bell lasted ten times before it slowly disappeared. And the Qi trainers stationed in all the surrounding forbidden mountain outposts, without exception, all poured into the Moon Shadow Temple at the fastest speed!
And at this time, on the backwater island, the moon shadow god statues placed by every household began to shine!
When the Moon Shadow God shines, it means the oracle has delivered it!
At this time, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and knelt down one after another!
Moon Shadow God issued the oracle about six to seven times a year, and each time was regarded as a major event. The Moon Shadow Temple will notify the islanders of the specific instructions of the oracle through the Island Office. After the oracle is issued, it must be obeyed immediately. Those who dare to violate it are the so-called "blasphemers", and the Moon Shadow Temple will naturally deal with it!
That day, at noon.
Inside Hongluo Academy.
After experiencing the extremely depressing Bone Night Festival, everyone gathered together again, and naturally there was endless talk. And one of the important topics is that the Moon Shadow Temple sent people to conduct investigations and statistics.
The population of Backwater Island is concentrated in the central town and many villages on the island, with a population of close to 3,000. Without exception, these people all participate in the Bone Night Festival. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to send only two people to investigate and count. Therefore, the Moon Shadow Temple dispatched almost all its personnel to move around the island. This is definitely a rare spectacle.
At this time, in the classroom where Xu Yun and Lingxi were.
"I was really taken aback, I'm really a master of the Moon Shadow Temple!" A short-haired girl was sitting on the desk, and said endlessly: "It would be great if I could become such a strong Qi trainer..."
This short-haired girl is the most active girl in the class, Lu Lingshan. Lu Lingshan has always been optimistic and cheerful, and her popularity in the class is also very good. Therefore, at this time a large group of people surrounded her.
Beside Lu Lingshan, a young man wearing glasses suddenly asked: "Yes, and he also asked if we have ever drawn a ghost card... By the way, Lingshan, did we really get one?"
"No... I didn't get it."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. What did I lie to you for?"
"But yesterday... everyone drew a few more times. There are so many brothers and sisters in your family. Really... no one has drawn a ghost card?"
"No! I told you there is no more!"
And at this moment, the lively atmosphere suddenly became deserted!
The reason for such a change is very simple, because... a person entered the classroom.
Huang Shanyun!
Huang Shanyun, regarded as a "blasphemer", is the god of plague that people can't hide from. Now, no one dared to approach her, and she even ended up sitting alone in the back row of the classroom, with the front row of seats completely empty. In fact, she was able to retain her student status at Hongluo Academy entirely because of Xu Yun's desperate guarantee for her. Xu Yun's father is the chief clerk of the island office, a person who can speak up in front of the priest, and the principal can't help him if he comes forward in person.
Where Huang Shanyun walked, people would automatically move out of the way, as if she was a patient with an infectious disease. The way people looked at her became more and more unkind.
In fact, a rumor has gradually taken shape.
The rumor is that "the change in the game of joker cards is due to Huang Shanyun's blasphemy."
After all, this year's Bone Night Festival has too many abnormalities, and this year... Huang Shanyun violated the ban and entered the Forbidden Mountain. Therefore, people vaguely believed that this was the crime of the Moon Shadow God.
Blind obedience to the Moon Shadow God also naturally caused this situation. Therefore, people looked at Huang Shanyun with disdain and hatred.
"It's really shameless!"
I don't know who started it, and people started to ridicule.
"That's right! After doing something blasphemous, you still have the face to come to Hongluo Academy, which is a sacred place for cultivating people who serve the Moon Shadow God!"
"Oh, don't talk about it... who gave me a good-looking face, backed by the clerk's son, how can people like us compare to others?"
"That's right! That's why it's scary to say that people are shameless!"
Huang Shanyun had already sat on the seat at this time. These people maliciously slandered her, but she seemed to have never heard of it.
At this time, a young man next to Lu Lingshan frowned slightly and said, "What does she mean? Do you think we are funny?"
Then, he was about to walk over. Lu Lingshan quickly grabbed him and said, "Forget it... Xu Yun may be here soon!"
"Let me go! So what about Xu Yun? I entered Hongluo Academy with the intention of serving the Moon Shadow God for life. I feel ashamed to stay with such a blasphemer!"
"Well said, Mu Feng, I'll go with you!"
As a result, three people quickly gathered at Huang Shanyun's table.
Yang Mufeng, Zhao Li and Tian Yiming. All three of them are Qi trainers with relatively top grades in the class.
"Huang Shanyun!"
Following Yang Mufeng's shout, Huang Shanyun raised his head. However... her face was extremely pale, like white paper!
"Did the people from the Moon Shadow Temple come to you this morning? Because of your blasphemous behavior, this year's Bone Night Festival has been postponed until now, and the number of people who have drawn ghost cards has increased! You have nothing to say ?"
Huang Shanyun raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him, and said calmly, "Why... you say it has something to do with me?"
"You..." Beside Yang Mufeng, Zhao Li, who was more irritable, yelled angrily, "You think I dare not hit women? If it wasn't for Xu Yun being your backstage, would you still be here?"
"What nonsense are you talking to her about!" The last person, Tian Yiming, was always jealous of Xu Yun's talent, so he took advantage of it and immediately knocked all Huang Shanyun's things on the desk to the ground!
"Huang Shanyun! If you still have a sense of shame, get the hell out of Hongluo Academy!"
