Volume Four, Volume 14, Chapter 49, The Mysterious Moon Shadow God
At this moment, in front of the forbidden mountain that was feared by countless people...
Countless outposts, now the searchlights are turned on, illuminating the surroundings of the Forbidden Mountain from time to time.¥f,
In each outpost, there are a large number of Qi training masters 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.
The middle-aged man was holding a binoculars and observing the situation of the Forbidden Mountain.
"How is it?" The middle-aged man next to the middle-aged man showed an uneasy look: "We?"
"Not very wonderful." The middle-aged man looked very serious and put down his telescope and said: "In recent years, the seal set by the priest on the Forbidden Mountain by the power of the moon shadow has shown signs of instability. Tonight is the Bone Night Festival, and the situation is even more..."
"Then, will you inform the priest immediately?"
"Tonight is Bone Night Festival, don't bother the priest for now."
The middle-aged man swallowed a saliva, hesitated for a long time before asking: "Website Manager Yu... I have been working here for five years. Since I graduated from Hongluo Academy, I have been working diligently here... But I still don't understand..."
"After all, what's there in the Forbidden Mountain? Webmaster Yu, do you know?"
Stationmaster Yu's hand holding the telescope was also trembling slightly.
"I... don't know. It's just that it's definitely something terrible. In any case, we must assist the priest, and we must never let the seal be broken! Absolutely!"
Then, he said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "How long can this island last?"
This outpost is the closest to the Moon Shadow Temple.
The Moon Shadow Temple is a place of pilgrimage on the Dead Water Island. Every believer of the Moon Shadow God will come here to pilgrimage. However, under normal circumstances, parents will not let their children arrive before the age of twenty. After all, the Moon Shadow Temple is at the foot of the Forbidden Mountain.
The Moon Shadow Temple is stationed with priests and four of the best Qi training masters on the island. It can be said that they are the five most noble clergymen under the Moon Shadow God. Their status is like the Pope and Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church! All civil servants in the Island Office can be appointed and removed at will with just a priest. It can be said that they have supreme power.
"It shouldn't matter if you have a priest here... it shouldn't be so?"
Webmaster Yu then breathed a sigh of relief and said to the middle-aged man: "Wu Xiu, continue to monitor. Once the Bone Night Festival is over, we will go to see the priest immediately."
"Yes! Webmaster Yu!"
This island is destined to be a sleepless night on this night. I don’t know how many people have drawn ghost cards, and I don’t know how many people are facing curses because of this...
I don’t know how frightened these people who fought on the Forbidden Mountain Outpost were spending this night.
And at this moment, in the Moon Shadow Temple.
The deepest part of the temple...
At this moment, a young man in a brocade robe was sitting upright in front of a futon. In front of him was a statue of the moon shadow god as high as ten meters!
This is the largest one among the statues of light that have been opened on the Dead Water Island!
And at this moment, the man in brocade robe suddenly opened his eyes!
He couldn't help but look at the Moon Shadow God statue in front of him.
The image of the moon shadow god is always facing everyone. But because of this, this image is even more awesome.
The man in brocade robe looked at the image of the moon shadow in front of him, and after a long time, he spoke slowly.
"Tianyongxing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door behind him was gently opened, and a young man stood there and said softly: "Sir, what are the instructions?"
"There is something you want to do."
The young man named Tianyongxing nodded and replied: "Please say it."
"The woods south of the town of Central. Go there and do what you should do."
This sentence surprised Tian Yongxing.
"Sir, tonight is...Bone Night Festival..."
You should know that the priest’s words are absolute commands! In the ordinary case, Tian Yongxing would never question the priest’s orders.
“Do what you should do.”
The priest just said that.
"It's... the priest."
The will of the priest is the will of Yueying, and there is no doubt about this. Therefore, his commands cannot be violated.
Tian Yongxing slowly retreated without saying much.
The priest looked at the statue of the god in front of him and spoke silently.
At this time, Ye Xiang could no longer obtain information about Jiang Shuyan's life and death. He no longer had the ability to resist and could only struggle to fight to the death. However, this kind of struggle had no meaning.
Even the consciousness has begun to gradually blur, and finally, it has completely fainted.
After fainting, his consciousness began to float in the void.
"Xu Yun, you think, this is the Moon Shadow God who guards our stagnant island."
This is... Xu Yun's memory?
In my memory, when I first saw the statue of the Moon Shadow God, I felt a strong sense of fear. I always had my back to my own image.
"Dad... this statue of god is reversed?"
"Xu Yun, don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Ying immediately covered Xu Yun's mouth and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, the statue of Yueying God is like this."
"Ah? But...what, what about the front of the statue?"
"All the statues carved on the island are only carved on the back. However, when the Moon Shadow Festival is in the future, the Moon Shadow God will turn his body around."
"What?"
For a child, this is actually a very terrifying thing.
Since this statue has not been carved from the front of the statue, then... why does this statue turn around and reveal the front of the body? Is this too ridiculous?
However, parents never doubt their children.
This is the impression Yueying gave him at the beginning.
"Also, Xu Yun, remember that you must become a Qi training master. Become a clergyman who serves Yueying God for life. This is the greatest glory of our family."
"Qi Practitioner?"
"If you become a Qi training master, you can communicate with the Moon Shadow God. For example, the order to enter the Forbidden Mountain is learned through the will of the Moon Shadow God."
From that day on, Yueying became the only God Xu Yun can trust and pray for. This faith became Xu Yun’s greatest dependence on his existence to this day.
On this island, everyone almost relies on the Moon Shadow God to survive. It can be said that people's daily lives are almost impossible to leave Moon Shadow.
For example, the stagnant island is an isolated island with no connection with the outside of the island. Therefore, it is developing a self-sufficiency natural economy. The monetary economy is not the mainstream, and agriculture is the fundamental. It even tends to "focus on agriculture and suppress commerce" like ancient feudal society. On this island, grain is absolutely hard currency. Therefore, once the agricultural harvest is not good, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, every year, the island office will ask the Moon Shadow God what land should be sown, which crops should be planted mainly, which days should be planted, and whether there will be severe droughts in the next few years. If there is a drought, grain reserves must be carried out several years in advance. At the same time, how to carry out agricultural technology reforms and how to obtain a maximum yield of bumper harvests, you need to ask Moon Shadow without exception.
And any answer given by Yueying will never be wrong. So over the years, the Dead Water Island has been harvesting and has never experienced the crisis of food shortage. You must know that this island and the surrounding waters cannot develop animal husbandry and fishery due to the death of life, so agriculture is the lifeblood and foundation of this island. Food is the sky, and Yueying guarantees the fundamental livelihood of everyone on this island, so everyone respects Yueying as a god, so they absolutely abide by the orders under the will of Yueying God like the "Bone Night Festival" and dare not violate it at all. In addition, if people on the island want to calculate the future or are confused about work and love, they will go to Yueying Temple to seek answers. Therefore, Yueying Temple has been incense all year round.
However, in fact, the Moon Shadow God does not only indicate the "Bone Night Festival". In addition, it will also issue "oracles" through the Moon Shadow Temple on weekdays. The "Bone Night Festival" is not the most famous one.
But……
What kind of god is the so-called "Moon Shadow God"?
Just as Ye Xiang's consciousness sinks into deeper darkness, he suddenly feels that a powerful hand holds him tightly, and then... drags him out of the deep darkness! (To be continued.)
