That's blood, there's no doubt about it!

In Lingxi's mouth, there was a portable flashlight, and the light of the flashlight clearly illuminated the blood stains on the playing cards!

"What are you stunned about? Since it's not a ghost card, put it back quickly! ”

At this time, Lingxi's father snatched the playing card from his hand, and then put the card back!

After all the playing cards were put back in place, all the playing cards were naturally collected back through the crack in the door.

"Huh......" Lingxi's father showed a relieved look: "Lingxi, what were you in a daze just now, I didn't see it clearly just now, I thought you had drawn a ghost card!" ”

"But it's not over yet, is it?" Lingxi's mother said: "I heard that on the night of the Bone Night Festival, there will not be only one card draw. ”

"Hmm...... Depending on the situation, a family will generally have about two or three times, and it is possible to be unlucky to smoke four or five times. If there are a large number of people in the family, the probability of drawing ghost cards will also be greatly increased. I heard that if you draw a ghost card, you will have bad luck in the next year, so even if you draw a ghost card, you won't tell anyone. ”

Of course, there will be no such thing as "superstition" here. After all...... There are no strictly atheists on this island. Although it is difficult for ordinary people to accept the existence of so-called ghosts and undead, they have to admit that supernatural beings such as Moon Shadow and Qi Practitioner are incredible.

"Just now...... That playing card ......" When his parents were discussing, Lingxi recalled the blood-stained playing card just now and said, "The card is ...... on that card."

"What's wrong?" Lingxi's father looked puzzled: "What's wrong with the playing cards?" ”

"No...... Nothing ......."

Lingxi didn't say much.

He returned to his room, and this time, turned on the flashlight again to observe his fingers, which were still stained with blood. You can't go wrong. It's blood......

Did the person who gave the card hurt his finger? That's understandable. Just, is that really the case?

"It's a weird feeling...... Really, it doesn't feel very comfortable. ”

And at the same time, at Xu Yun's house.

After seven o'clock, there was no "person" at home to visit.

And Xu Yun, the statue of the Moon Shadow God. It was enshrined again. And, in front of the statue, various offerings were placed and incense was inserted.

"It's unbelievable that someone actually abandoned the Moon Shadow God......" Xu Yun's father, Xu Ying, looked at the Moon Shadow God who was re-enshrined in front of him, revealing a trace of unease: "But...... Bring the discarded Lunaris back home...... I'm a little worried......"

"Worried?"

"The forsaken Lunaris God is said to be resentful...... You should know, over the years. The people of Deadwaters have been blessed by the Lunaris God for generations, and we will never dare to disobey in any way. But...... Someone would dare to discard the Moon Shadow God, and it was on a day like the Bone Night Festival......"

"Even so, it's not us who have abandoned the Moon Shadow God, but someone else?" Xu Yun looked puzzled: "I brought back the Moon Shadow God Statue." According to common sense, if I discard it at that time, it will not be ......."

At this time, the back of the statue of the Moon Shadow God in front of him ......

It looks particularly calm.

"Speaking of which...... Father...... Statue of the Lunaris God. It's always been the back, why is that? ”

"Why, you ask me? I don't know. It's just that. At the time of the 'Moon Shadow Festival', the Moon Shadow God will turn around and reveal his true face. But, at that time, no matter who it was. I can't go to see the true face of the Lunaris God. ”

It is impossible for a person who sees the true face of the Moon Shadow God to live.

This is a ban that must not be violated, just like not being allowed to enter the Forbidden Mountain. These prohibitions have been instilled repeatedly in the islanders of Dead Water Island from childhood to adulthood, and to them they are like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. No one asks for the "why".

"And ...... Father...... At the time of the Bone Night Festival, the people who came to give the cards said that they were from the island office...... However, I always felt that it was very unreasonable. ”

"Where is it unreasonable?"

"What if...... According to the will of the Moon Shadow God, on the night of the Bone Night Festival, everyone must stay at home and not go out, so the people of the Island Office should not be an exception. As a child, I thought about it occasionally, but ...... Is it because I'm thinking too much? ”

Xu Ying looked at the statue of the Moon Shadow God that Xu Yun picked up, and was silent.

"In the end...... Is it really the 'person' from the Island Office who came to give away the card? ”

As the chief clerk of the Island Office, it is impossible for Xu Ying not to know the answer to this question.

Xu Yun...... There are some things that don't need to be pursued too deeply. If you are confused, you will live a little easier. ”

This sentence implies something on the side!

"Then ......" Xu Yun took a deep breath, noticed that his mother was still mopping the floor in the living room, and said in a low voice: "What will happen if I get the ghost card?" ”

"What will happen? Nothing will happen. There's an event every year at the Bone Night Festival, isn't it? ”

"That being said...... But I'm still upset, father. It's true...... Is it that simple? ”

Xu Ying was still silent.

"For so many years, the Island Office has always sent people to patrol the Forbidden Mountain, and in recent years, Hongluo Academy has been more actively cultivating qi practitioners, and constantly improving the welfare of qi practitioners patrolling the forbidden mountain. Basically, as long as you agree to patrol the forbidden mountains, you are basically a senior civil servant on the island, and you can enjoy many preferential policies, and it can be said that it is the most sought-after job on the island now. ”

Xu Ying slowly turned his body back.

"All these years...... The monitoring of the Forbidden Mountain......" Xu Yun finally said what he wanted to say most in his heart: "Is there any important discovery?" ”

"You're thinking too much, Xu Yun. And nothing was found. ”

"In that case...... Why are you so interested in Shanyun? even settled all the tuition fees for her in the remaining years, and actively recommended her to join the island office? Isn't it because she is the only person in the historical records of Dead Water Island who has entered the Forbidden Mountain and returned alive? ”

Huang Shanyun, on this island with a population of several thousand, is a name that almost everyone knows. Why? It is because she entered the Forbidden Mountain, but not only did she not die, but she came back alive! Only after that...... She lost all her memories!

"After entering the Forbidden Mountain, Shanyun completely changed, she often became crazy, as if she had become another person, and then ...... She would shout, 'This island is dangerous, you must get out of this island'......"

"Enough!"

Xu Ying's expression became more and more serious.

"Father?"

"Run? You should know it's impossible. The industrial level of our island is very low, and it is impossible to develop the shipbuilding industry at all, you should also know, right? ”

Truly.

Dead Water Island is an island composed of an agricultural population through and through, and the level of industry is not even in its infancy, it is basically based on basic handicrafts and very primitive machinery, so it does not have the conditions for industrial production at all. Even if they were to build ships, they would only be able to build some relatively rudimentary wooden boats. However, because the waters around this island, not only fish, but also shellfish do not exist, there is no room for fishing at all, so there are no boats in this area. Moreover, the people on the island do not have a nautical chart of the waters around the backwater island at all, and they have to go to sea with a few wooden boats, which is simply looking for death, and when the time comes, when the food is finished, do you go to drink seawater to survive? You know, there's not a single fish in the sea!

So...... It is simply impossible to leave the island by going to sea.

However, it is obvious that there is a lot of information hidden in Xu Ying's words. Obviously, he knew a lot of things. But these things are obviously the core secrets of this island. Obviously, even if you ask now, you can't ask anything.

"After graduating, I'll go hunting in the Forbidden Mountain. Definitely! ”

Meanwhile.

Huang Shanyun's home.

Huang Shanyun's parents also sat around the table, waiting.

Right now......

It's a regular knock on the door, outside the door...... It sounded!

"It's coming!"

Huang Shanyun's father, Huang Xi, immediately stood up and took out a flashlight. Then, I walked to the door.

"Here we are. Please put your cards down. ”

As soon as Huang Xi's voice fell, the knocking on the door stopped. Then......

...... from outside the crack in the door Playing cards, stuffed in! (To be continued......)
