The otherwise quiet forest had become a little noisy due to the presence of many people, and the dazzling light of the fire illuminated the surrounding darkness, and the shadows of the trees were hideous at the beginning of the long night.

Dozens of dark-skinned, thick-eyed and big-eyed men surrounded the two, their eyes were extremely gloomy, stunned, and the girl hid behind Nan Ling in great fear, Nan Ling was lucky in his hand, holding the Xuanyuan sword tightly.

After a while, the men with torches did not attack or pounce, nor did they make any unusual moves, but they all knelt on the ground in a very uniform manner, and muttered the words in their mouths: "Holy Maiden, Holy Maiden, Come back quickly!"

Nan Ling was a little caught off guard by this sudden change, he looked back at the girl behind him suspiciously, the girl's tearful eyes were full of reluctance and fear, thinking that Nan Ling was going to hand him over, so he clutched his clothes tightly and shook his head desperately.

Nan Ling's heart was furious, in the dark night, the dancing firelight stretched the shadows of these people, dozens of people muttered to themselves, chattered, and buzzed, and the scene was very strange for a while.

In the face of the girl, they seemed to see the true god descending to earth, and the piety of their worship behavior and the exaggerated expression of their expressions were unprecedented. Some were very solemn, some kowtowed and bled their heads. Some of them wept bitterly, which was worse than the death of their father. It is estimated that even if they are told to die now, they will have to rob you to the death.

Nanling was stunned for a moment. There was a middle-aged man with gray temples who cried and fainted, Nan Ling was shocked, and wanted to step forward to help him, Na Zhi walked into the crowd as if he had entered a quagmire, and the people who were kneeling on the ground hula lala rushed up all of a sudden, and they didn't know what to cry again, what to shout, in short, they grabbed Nan Ling's thighs and didn't let go, and shouted with snot and tears, so that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and their green muscles were exposed, and they wanted to die or live.

Nan Ling stood in place stupidly, looking at the girl, very helpless. I thought there would be any danger, but I didn't think it would be a group of crazy people, which really made Nan Ling a little embarrassed.

At this time, the back of the crowd suddenly began to move. Everyone stopped crying at the same time, wiped their tears and stood up, and took the initiative to make way for the rear.

In the dense forest of the black press, I don't know when a lot of people have gathered. Their eyes were so red that they stared at the ground so hard that they didn't dare to look up.

A gloomy man, holding an ebony scepter inlaid with a strange skull, walked towards Nanling and the girl with heavy steps.

When the girl saw this man, her thin body trembled violently like chaff, her face turned pale, and her thin lips trembled. Nan Ling looked at him vigilantly and protected the girl behind him.

The man walked step by step, step by step, slowly and heavily. His expression was solemn, the corners of his mouth were straight, and his eyes were staring straight at the two of them, as if he were performing some kind of ceremony.

Nan Ling gripped the sword behind his back.

As if he had walked for a century, this man came to Nanling surrounded by the people around him. The ebony scepter inlaid with the skull stumbled against the ground and made a "tom-tom" sound, as if death sounded the death knell and announced the end of fate.

The mysterious man walked up to the two of them, stood still, and after looking at the girl behind Nanling for a while, he became a little eager, as if he had found a lost relative, and opened his mouth with some trembling: "Yueya, I finally found you——"

The girl named Yueya stubbornly looked away, with deep resentment and fear in her eyes.

I wanted to stretch out a hand to touch Yueya, but she desperately shrank back and dodged. The mysterious man's hand stiffened in mid-air, and his eyes showed some loss, and then he was quickly replaced by the original cold and gloomy: "Come on, take the Holy Maiden back and take good care of her, she is frightened." ”

Two low-eyed women who didn't know where they came out of nowhere stepped forward to hug Yueya, and took her away in a gentle tone as she eagerly looked at Nan Ling. Nan Ling looked at the scene in front of him a little bewildered, and didn't know what to do for a while.

The mysterious man turned his head to face Nanling after witnessing Yueya being taken away. His eyes were eager, with unusual excitement and anticipation, and he knelt down in front of Nan Ling: "Thank you hero for helping me find the Holy Maiden!"

The group of people behind him all wanted to kneel: "Thank you hero for helping us find the Holy Maiden!"

Nan Ling was a little overwhelmed and embarrassed by this sudden move, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, completely forgetting that a few minutes ago, he thought that these people were the villains who came to hunt down the white wolf and the girl.

The mysterious man introduced himself as Moon Bone, who was Yueya's father. The people behind him were all members of the Yue Clan, and they all lived in a small village in the middle of the Northern Underworld Forest, the Village of Tsukimi.

Tsukimi Village is a small village built by the lake, quiet and secluded, and the population is not very large. The name of the lake is Lake Tsukimi, because it is the only lake in the dense forest, and although the lake is not large, it can reflect the white moon at night, so it is called Tsukimi Lake. According to their own legends, the bottom of Tsukimi Lake is connected to an unknown world inhabited by gods, and the people of Tsukimi Village are from the bottom of Tsukimi Lake.

The village of Tsukimi is very closed and cannot interact with the outside world due to its geographical location. Therefore, the village of Tsukimi worships a rare and unique deity - the Moon Serpent God.

According to the Moon Bone, the village of Tsukimi once experienced a disaster, and almost the entire village was not spared. Later, it was the god of the moon snake who descended from the sky, who saved the lives of the whole village with the supreme immortal method, and helped the villagers rebuild their homes, so that the village of moon saw was preserved.

Although the village of Tsukimi has been established for 100 years, it is still in a primitive society where men plough and women weave. There is a strict hierarchy in the village, and the voice of the village is in the hands of the village elders. And this elder is this man named Moon Bone, and the ebony scepter he holds in his hand is a symbol of the elder's identity and power.

"Then this skull, is it the skull of the Moon Serpent God?"

Listening to the mysterious stories told by the moon bone, Nanling couldn't help but ask curiously.

Yuegu smiled very softly: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and young heroes are not very old, but they are very clever. This is indeed the skull of the Moon Serpent God. This scepter is the spiritual inheritance of our Tsukimi Village. ”

Surrounded by a group of people and requested, Nanling was invited by Moon Bone to be a guest in the village.

Along the way, Moon Bone not only introduced the origin of Yuejian Village, but also told him the reason for Yueya's escape and the identity of the mysterious white wolf.

"Yueya is the holy daughter of the village of Tsukimi, and she will personally preside over the "divine sacrifice" in the near future. The Divine Sacrifice is a rare festival in our moon village, and the young man is in a good time this time, so he might as well stay in the village for a few days, and it is not too late to hold a grand ceremony with us on the road. After walking for a long time, the moon pointed to a small valley that suddenly opened up in front of him, where there were no dense ancient trees, and where you could see the bright moon, the brightly lit and smoky village, and a lake as beautiful as a sapphire.

"That kid, the reason why he ran away may be too nervous. After all, it was the first time to preside over a divine sacrifice. Moon Bone explained with a smile.

"As for the white wolf, he doesn't hide it from the young man, and he is the old enemy of our Yuejian Village. It robs the saints, blasphemes the gods, does all kinds of evil, and is very hateful. ”

With that, Luna angrily slammed her scepter on the ground.

Nan Ling's eyes were glowing with complexity, and he was silent, and he didn't say the sense of disobedience in his heart.

He didn't find anything suspicious about what the moon bone was saying. However, his perception told him that the white wolf was definitely not some monster in the mouth of the moon bone.
