Chapter 111: The Chosen One

(First update on the shelves ^^)

It seems that the two Taoist friends also noticed that the previous map seemed to be fine, but the map did not show the water veins of the various major rivers on the island, because the maps sold in the city did not have these water flow signs. And along the way, we have obviously encountered many Yangtze River rivers, and I have marked them all. Han Li smiled and said.

When the others heard this, they looked thoughtfully at the map again.

Sure enough, as Han Li said, although the map was detailed, there were very few river veins, and even if there were, it was only a few small rivers.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the cities, but they didn't notice this.

"In the past few days, every time I went to a city, I collected some information about the geographical environment of the island, especially some ancient maps, and finally found some information about the water veins of the big rivers. Han Li said, pointing out.

The water mirror shimmered, and large rivers appeared in parts of the map.

"This is ......" Everyone looked at the water mirror, and their faces changed.

"Because of the rush of time, the only information I have collected about the water veins is this. You should have also discovered that these Red Moon Cities we passed by, as well as some large cities, are located near major water veins, and what we have seen in person in the past few days has just verified this. Han Li explained slowly.

The others thought back to the several cities they had visited before, and indeed each of them was near a big river or lake, and the same was true of the Red Moon City where everyone was at this moment.

"It's nothing, it's close to the big river, and the transportation is naturally much more convenient. Not only Hongyue Island, but also some other island cities, most of them are also considered to be built near rivers. Jiao 13 said.

"That being said, I just cast a spell of ecstasy on a bookseller in the city, and I learned from him that it is strictly forbidden to draw the direction of the main water veins on the map of any book on the island. And this order was given by the Holy Lord, that is, the Gong Lost Hong himself, and it was obviously hiding something. Han Li continued.

"This ......" Jiao Thirteen breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know why the Lord of the Red Moon Island did this, but from the distribution of these rivers that have been mapped, this is where all the water veins meet. Han Li pointed to a city on the map.

There, it is the Red Moon City in Kunzhou.

"These are just speculations, can you be sure that Gong Yihong is there?"

"I'm naturally not sure, but instead of looking aimlessly, it's better to go here first, it's always more likely. Han Li said slowly.

Jiao Twenty-five's lips moved, as if he wanted to refute two sentences, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

"This is reasonable! Jiao Fifteen Daoyou, thanks to you for discovering this, otherwise we would still be at a loss. Jiao Jiu laughed and stroked his palm.

After acting together, he always had a feeling of being pressed by Jiaoba, but at this moment, he finally raised his eyebrows, and his mood suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

"That's right, if you really search for these more than twenty Red Moon Cities, when the time comes, I'm afraid that this Gong Yihong will get the news early and hide in nowhere!" Jiao Sixteen also said with a bit of self-satisfaction.

"The two of them won the prize, and they just stumbled upon it. Han Li smiled humbly.

"Jiao's fifteenth Daoyou's inference is very reasonable, then let's go to Kunzhou. After Jiao Ba was silent for a while, he also smiled and said.

......

A few days later, one night.

In the middle of Red Moon Island, over a wide plain, two thick rays of light pierced the night sky and landed at the edge of a forest below.

The light faded, revealing two flying boats with different shapes, and six or seven figures walked down on them, all wearing strange animal masks, none other than Han Li and the others.

"Ahead is Kunzhou Red Moon City, and it seems that a pilgrimage ceremony is also going on in the city. Jiaoba raised his hand to the night in the distance and spoke.

Han Li followed the direction of his finger and saw a huge city standing brightly lit in the dark night more than ten miles away.

The city was lit up with red lights, and the light reflected on the clouds in the night sky, dyeing a blood-red color, which looked quite strange.

Outside the entire city, there was still a layer of blue forbidden light cover, but under the reflection of the lights, the color changed a little, and it faintly appeared a little dark red.

"This city is not small, and it seems that it may really be the lair of the public loser. Jiao Jiu's eyes flashed, and he said slowly.

"Without further ado, let's go into the city first. As before, after you enter the city, don't use your divine sense on a large scale. Jiaoba said.

In the face of his words that ordered everyone, Jiao Jiu naturally chose to ignore it, while the others nodded silently and didn't say anything.

After a while, everyone changed their faces with their masks, and all of them changed into the black cloaks of the night walkers, and hurried silently in the direction of Red Moon City.

At this time, in Kunzhou Red Moon City, the square city gate was wide open, and on both sides of the main road leading to the central square in the city, there were all hanging fiery red lanterns, which reflected the whole city brightly.

On the official road outside the square city gate, there are thousands of pedestrians, who are hurrying towards the city, they are all pilgrims who have come to participate in the Red Moon City, but for various reasons, they are a little late.

Han Li and the others divided into two teams, blended in with these people, and entered Red Moon City through the city gate.

Han Li and Jiao Jiu entered the city through the south gate and walked towards the center of the city with the flow of people.

The atmosphere in the city was a little solemn, and the pedestrians around were very quiet, all of them clasped their hands in front of their chests, silently along the street, towards the center of the city.

As they got closer to the center of the city, there was a burst of strange chanting sounds, which rushed into the ears of the three people like sea water, echoing with a special sense of rhythm.

At this moment, a huge square in the center of the city and the main road nearby were already densely packed with millions of people, and when Han Li and the others came to the middle of the southern street, they were already blocked out by the dense crowd.

Like loaches, Han Li and the three of them slowly pushed through the crowd and squeezed towards the center of the square, occasionally provoking angry glances from the people around them.

However, since most of the people here were mere mortals, and were busy chanting prayers, no one really bothered them, and little by little they were squeezed into the square, and although they were still not in the center, they were already very close.

Han Li was already tall, standing in the crowd, and when he looked up slightly, he could see that in the middle of the square in front of him, there was a huge statue that was more than 100 zhang high.

I don't know if it's because of its own material, or because of the surrounding lights, the statue looks blood-red and a little weird.

In front of the statue, in the void near its chest, there were seven figures, all dressed in dark blue silk robes, with a blood-colored crescent moon embroidered on their chests.

Under the reflection of the surrounding light and shadow and the backdrop of the statues behind, these figures standing in the air are like gods, and their bodies exude a strange aura.

However, in fact, the cultivation of these people is not very profound, except for a kind-faced white-haired old man in the middle, who is a late Mahayana monk, the rest are only in the merger period.

However, for the monks and ordinary mortals below who had cultivated at most to the Dan stage, they were high gods.

Like all ordinary people, these seven people bowed their heads slightly at this time, chanting prayers in a low voice, and their expressions were extremely reverent.

When Han Li was looking at the few people above, Jiao Sixteen's voice suddenly sounded in his heart: "You say, should we take down these people first?"

When he looked back, he saw Jiao Jiu also looking at him with a deep face, looking a little hesitant.

But at this moment, the crescent moon in the sky had slowly moved to Zhongtian, and the chanting around it gradually became quieter.

I saw the kind old man in mid-air, slowly straightened up, his eyes swept from the square, like an ordinary high-ranking official inspecting the people, and slowly spoke:

"The Lord is gracious and blesses all beings. Your sincerity can be learned, and you should enjoy the glory of God's choice. The 'Chosen One' is about to begin, so please pray with your sincere hearts for the favor of the Holy Lord. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a tsunami-like cheer rang out from the crowd.

But after a moment, it was quiet again, and everyone bowed slightly, their faces full of expectation, and their hands folded and clenched in front of them, making gestures of prayer.

Han Li and the others didn't know why, so they had to follow suit.

At this moment, there was a sudden slight shock on the square, as if some ancient formation had been activated, and a very strange aura rose around it.

Han Li lowered his head slightly, his eyes lit up with a blue glow, and he looked towards the ground through the gap in the crowd.

I saw that on the ground paved with white stones, complex lines that could not be seen by the naked eye suddenly lit up, densely intertwined with each other, extending in all directions.

Just listen to the sound of "buzz".

Above the entire square, hundreds of pillars of crimson light suddenly rose from the ground everywhere, enveloping the Red Moon Islanders one by one.

Han Li's gaze swept away, and he was immediately a little surprised.

I saw that instead of being panicked, those people showed ecstasy on their faces, and some even wept with joy and kept wiping their tears.

And the people around him, if there are people who are familiar with him, also show joy, even if they don't know people, they are full of envy, and even a little jealous.

Han Li looked back at Jiao Jiu and the two of them in some astonishment, and saw that they were also full of doubts, obviously a little confused.

After all, what was seen and heard here had not happened in the previous Red Moon City.

Han Li groaned slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said to the two of them:

"Could it be that these people are the ones who were chosen by the Holy Lord to stay?"

"It should be...... Follow these people, and you may be able to find the news of the Lord of Red Moon Island. It's just that I don't know where these people have been taken?" Jiao Jiu pondered for a moment and said.

Han Li smiled and replied, "This is easy to do, I don't know if you have noticed it, although there are men, women, and children among the people who were teleported away, there seems to be no pattern, but in fact it is not. ”
