Yuan Ming looked at the crescent moon pattern on this disk, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, always feeling as if he had seen it somewhere, or heard someone describe it, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

And at this moment, I saw that the blood moon pattern suddenly flashed, and after absorbing a large amount of wishing power, the blood-colored light on it suddenly brightened, and a burst of evil light was emitted from it, and it began to cover the body of the idol.

Yuan Ming's heart moved, and he obviously found that the blood color on the chest of the statue was the richest, and the more he went to the top of his head and feet, the thinner it became.

But as time passed, this color of blood spread all over the idol sooner or later.

At the same time, he noticed that the fruit bowl on the table, the originally fresh fruits, were rapidly drying up and shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if something had sucked all the water away.

The Stygian Moon Statue has been tampered with!

Yuan Ming's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to destroy the idol, but reason told him not to be reckless.

So, in the midst of all the twists, he observed the whole prayer.

After the crowd dispersed, Yuan Ming called Hu Ji and his wife to him again.

"You said that this idol was sent by Xu Che two months ago, and the original idol was replaced?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Yes." Hu Ji replied respectfully.

"Was there this black disc at that time, and the blood moon pattern on the disk?" Yuan Ming continued to ask.

"The disc was there at that time, but the blood moon pattern appeared recently, and I thought it was a miracle." Hu Ji said.

Yuan Ming's eyes sank, and it seemed that there was a change in his willpower, which was related to this blood moon pattern.

"Then do you know where Xu Che is?" He asked.

"God has sent your lord busy preaching, wandering from city to city, and I don't know where he is now." Hu Ji shook his head and answered honestly.

"Did he tell you anything when he brought the idol? Or is there any strange behavior? Yuan Ming asked again.

"Didn't say anything...... He gave us a prayer to recite sincerely, and said nothing else. Hu Ji was a little puzzled, weren't the actions of the divine envoys all guided by Yuan Ming, why did Yuan Ming ask about him instead?

It's just that although he doubted, he didn't dare to question anything, because the prayer said that questioning the gods was the greatest disrespect to the gods, and after death, he would go to purgatory.

Yuan Ming knew that the prayer in his mouth was something that everyone had recited in a low voice, and he originally thought that it was just something that Xu Che made up to fool people, but now, it seems that this matter is not simple.

Xu Che either had an accident or betrayed him.

And no matter what the situation is, Yuan Ming will not ignore it.

"Lord Stygian, do you want to find the Divine Envoy Xu Che?" Huji asked, trying.

"Can you reach him?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows.

"I can't, but the other oracles should." Hu Ji shook his head and said.

Yuan Ming was stunned, there are other oracles? Could it be other immortal cultivators?

However, he didn't ask, just nodded and motioned for Hu Ji to continue.

"At the end of every month, an envoy will come to me to collect the statue, and when the time comes, you can ask the messenger who comes, and you may be able to find Lord Xu Che." Hu Ji said.

"Collect the idol?" Yuan Ming frowned.

"Yes, at the end of every month, someone comes to the door to collect the idol, saying that they want to take it back for baptism." Hu Ji looked suspicious and said slowly.

He only felt that the god in front of him was really a little strange, how could he not know anything about these things?

"It just so happens that tomorrow is the end of the month, and those two divine envoys should be here too." Huji added.

"Okay." Hearing this, Yuan Ming nodded.

……

The next day was also in the evening.

Not long after everyone had finished praying and dispersed, two figures flew in from outside.

The person who came was covered with a wide black robe and wore a mask in the shape of a half-moon on his face, a man and a woman, all of whom were monks in the foundation building period.

The moment the two broke into Hu Ji's courtyard, they entered Yuan Ming's illusion nodule, and although Yuan Ming was right in front of them, the two of them couldn't see it at all.

Hu Ji and his wife have long been controlled by Yuan Ming with illusions, and they have forgotten Yuan Ming's existence.

After the two entered the courtyard, Hu Ji and his wife also knelt down, but did not kiss each other's shoes.

The two were silent throughout the whole process and did not say a word to Hu Ji and his wife, but just picked up the idol on the stone table and turned to leave.

Yuan Ming also set off, followed behind the two, and followed all the way.

I saw that after the two of them took the statue from Hu Ji's house, they went to two other courtyards in the city, one of which was still the mansion of the lord of Wusu City.

The city lord of Nawusu was a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, and he was also a loyal believer in the Stygian Moon God Cult, not only handed over the statue of the Stygian Moon God, but also handed over a box of gold, silver and jewelry.

After taking the three idols, the two envoys left the city of Usu.

Yuan Ming originally thought that they would return directly, but they did not expect that they went to a few nearby cities, and after taking a few gods again, they did not return to their lair until late at night.

It was an unnamed temple built on a hill wall.

The mountain gate is not much different from ordinary temples, except that it is inlaid on the mountain wall like an archway.

The vermilion lacquer gate covered with copper nails opened outward, but inside was a deep passage that plunged directly into the mountain wall, and a faint fire could be seen flickering inside.

The two divine envoys entered it, and Yuan Ming took out the gray cloak, and then performed the Tibetan Yuan Technique, covering his breath, and followed in.

The passage is one zhang high and two zhang wide, and there are traces of man-made excavation, and a brazier hangs every fifteen steps on the walls on both sides, and the light reflected in the fire will reflect the light and dark spots inside, making it full of mystery.

After more than a hundred zhang inward, Yuan Ming followed them to an empty stone room.

The walls of the stone chamber are painted with scenes of various goddesses flying to the sky and gods worshipping the gods, and on the left and right sides of the stone room and directly in front of them, there are strange-looking statues of gods.

On the left side of the group is a dark, bearded, shirtless wrestler, holding a cornucopia in one hand and a golden wedge in the other, with a fierce face.

On the right side, there stood a three-headed and six-armed armored demon, holding chains, shackles, scimitars and other torture instruments in his hands, and the shape was even more terrifying.

Only the statue in front of it is lying on one side, a man with open chest and leaking milk, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, holding a lotus flower in his hand, and he can't tell whether it is a man or a woman, with a compassionate look on his face.

The appearance of these gods is not very different from the immortals Yuan Ming knows, I don't know if they are the unique gods believed in by the Black Wind Desert.

However, when his gaze fell on the chest of the recumbent statue, his gaze froze.

I saw that on its chest, there was a pattern of two moons stacked on top of each other.

Yuan Ming recognized this pattern, which was the mark of the Wuyue Sect.

No wonder he had felt a strange sense of déjà vu when he saw the black disc and the crescent sigil earlier.

"Does this matter have anything to do with the Witch Moon Sect?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Before he could figure it out, he saw that the two men had turned around and walked towards the idol on the left.

Yuan Ming followed the two men and came to the back of the statue, only to find that on the wall next to the stone statue, there was also a one-person-high cave entrance.

As soon as he entered the entrance of the cave, Yuan Ming noticed that there was a forbidden aura inside, but the means were not clever.

As he uttered the words, a black light flashed on the surface of his body, and his body gradually became translucent, and he stepped forward, as if a spirit had penetrated the prohibition.

This is a secret technique recorded on the white jade plate of the Venerable of the Six Desires, "Void Transformation Technique", which can transform the physical body into a spirit form in a short period of time and penetrate the forbidden light curtain.

Yuan Ming was a beginner, and the Void Transformation Technique could only be used to show a fur, but it was more than enough to penetrate the crude prohibition in front of him.

After he took dozens of steps inward, the front suddenly brightened.

Yuan Ming followed the two people who were blinded by his illusion into a spacious stone room, and immediately saw a dazzling golden light.

I saw that the inside was bright, and everywhere reflected the luster of all kinds of gold and precious stones, and a large number of golden sand and gold coins were piled up on the ground like leaves and dirt, and they were filled with colorful jewels and jade.

For an ordinary mortal, this is naturally the wealth of Allure, but in Yuan Ming's opinion, it is no different from soil.

There were a few magic weapons on the shelf in the corner, and he could take a peek at them, but that's about it.

Seeing that the two oracles poured the treasure offered by the lord of Usu into the pile of gold and silver, they turned around and walked out of the stone chamber, and he followed again.

This time, the two men walked to the charity-looking idol in the center, and there was also a cavern behind it.

This time the passage was longer, and before it reached the end, there was already an intermittent sound of conversation coming from inside.

Yuan Ming listened to the voice that spoke, and felt a little familiar, it seemed to be Xu Che's voice?

When they reached the entrance of the cave, the two walked in, and Yuan Ming stopped sideways at the entrance of the cave and looked carefully inside.

I saw that the space outside the entrance of the cave was very huge, the size of seven or eight houses, and the inside was also brightly lit.

However, unlike the previous place where the gold and silver treasures were stored, in the center of this place stood a pitch-black statue three feet high.

It resembles a young goddess in palace clothes, with a fan-shaped peculiar decoration on her head, her hair tied up high, her eyes covered with a black ribbon, and her hands slightly open in front of her, with a look of domination over the world.

On the palm of one of its hands, he was holding a black disc engraved with the crescent moon mark of the Witch Moon Sect.

At the foot of the statue of the goddess of darkness, on a circular altar, there is a palm-sized golden lotus lamp, and behind each lotus lamp, there is a statue of the god of the moon.

Yuan Ming roughly counted more than 300 of them.
