Volume Four, Volume 14, Chapter 35, The Secret of Forbidden Mountain

That's blood, no doubt!

Lingxi was holding a portable flashlight in his mouth, and the light of the flashlight clearly shone the blood on the playing cards!

"What are you stunned? Since you are 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 from the crack of the door.≤,

"Hu..." Lingxi's father showed a look of relief: "Lingxi, why were you stunned just now? I didn't see it clearly yet, and I thought you had drawn the ghost card!"

"But it's not over yet?" Lingxi's mother said: "I heard that on the night of the Bone Night Festival, there will be no one draws cards only."

"Well... it depends on the situation. A family usually has about two to three times, and it is possible to draw four or five times if they are not lucky. If there are a large number of people in the family, the probability of drawing ghost cards will be greatly increased. I heard that if you draw ghost cards, you will be in trouble in the next year, so you will generally not tell others even if you draw ghost cards."

Of course, no one here says "superstition" or something like this. After all... there are no atheists in the strict sense 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 the supernatural existence such as Moon Shadow and Qi Training Master are incredible.

"Just...that playing card..." When his parents were talking, Ling Xi recalled the bloody playing card just now and said, "The card is on the face of that card..."

"What's wrong?" Ling Xi's father showed a puzzled look: "What's wrong with playing cards?"

"No... nothing..."

Lingxi didn't say much.

He returned to his room, and this time, he turned on the flashlight to observe his fingers, and there was still blood on it. It would be impossible to be wrong, it was blood...

Is the person who gave the card injured his finger? This is understandable. But is this true?

"What a weird feeling... it really doesn't feel very comfortable."

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

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

Xu Yun re-entered the image of the moon shadow god. In front of the statue, various offerings were placed and incense was inserted.

"Someone actually abandoned the Moon Shadow God, which is incredible..." Xu Yun's father Xu Ying looked at the Moon Shadow God who was re-entrusted in front of him, and showed a trace of uneasiness: "But... I brought the abandoned Moon Shadow God home again... I was a little worried..."

"Worry?"

"The abandoned Moon Shadow God is said to have aroused resentment... You should know that for many years, people from the Death Island have been blessed by the Moon Shadow God for generations, and we will never dare to make any violations. But... some people dare to abandon Moon Shadow God, and on days like the Bone Night Festival..."

"Even so, it's not us who abandoned the Moon Shadow God, but others?" Xu Yun showed a confused look: "I brought the Moon Shadow God statue back. According to common sense, if I abandoned it at that time, it wouldn't be..."

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

It makes people feel particularly scattered.

"Speaking of it...father...the statue of the Moon Shadow God has always been on his back. Why is that?"

"You ask me why? I don't know. But during the 'Moon Shadow Festival', Moon Shadow God would turn around and reveal his true face. But at that time, no matter who it was, he could not see the true face of Moon Shadow God."

People who see the true appearance of the Moon Shadow God cannot survive.

This is the same as the prohibition that cannot be entered into the Forbidden Mountain. It must not be violated. These prohibitions have been repeatedly instilled with the islanders on the stagnant island since childhood. For them, it is like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and no one will explore the "why".

"And...father... during the Bone Night Festival, the people who came to visit and gave cards were said to be from the Island Office... but I always think it was unreasonable."

“Where is unreasonable?”

"If... according to the will of the Moon Shadow God, on the night of the Bone Night Festival, anyone must stay at home and not go out. Then, the people in the Island Office should not be exceptional. When I was a child, I would occasionally consider this issue, but... am I thinking too much?"

Xu Ying looked at the statue of the Moon Shadow God picked up by Xu Yun and fell silent.

"After all... are the ones who come to give the cards really the 'people' of the Island Office?"

As the chief secretary of the Island Office, Xu Ying could not know the answer to this question.

"Xu Yun... there is no need to pursue some things too deeply. If you are a little confused, you will live a little easier."

This sentence implies something indirectly!

"Then..." Xu Yun took a deep breath, noticed that his mother was still mopping the floor in the living room, and lowered her voice: "What will happen if she got the ghost card?"

"What will happen? Nothing will happen. There will be this event every year at the Bone Night Festival, right?"

"With that being said... I'm still very upset, Dad. Is it really that simple?"

Xu Ying was still silent.

"For so many years, the Island Office has always sent people to patrol the mountain forbidden mountain. In recent years, Hongluo Academy has been more actively cultivating Qi training masters and constantly improving the welfare benefits of Qi training masters who patrol the mountain forbidden mountain. Basically, as long as you agree to patrol the mountain forbidden mountain, you will basically be a senior civil servant on the island and can enjoy many preferential policies. It can be said that it is the hottest job on the island now."

Xu Ying slowly turned his body back.

"Since the surveillance of the Forbidden Mountains over the years..." Xu Yun finally said what he wanted to say the most: "Has there been any important discovery?"

"You're thinking too much, Xu Yun. I didn't find anything."

"Since that's the case... why are you so interested in Shanyun? You even solved all the tuition fees for the rest of the year for her and actively recommended her to join the island office? Isn't it because she is the only person in the historical records of the Dead Water Island who came back alive after entering the Forbidden Mountain?"

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

"After entering the Forbidden Mountain, Shanyun completely changed. She often became very crazy, like she became another person, and then... she would shout: 'This island is very dangerous, you must escape from this island'..."

"Enough!"

Xu Ying's expression became more serious.

"Father?"

"Escape? You should know that this is impossible. Our island's industrial level is very low and it is impossible to develop the shipbuilding industry at all. You should know that, right?"

indeed.

The ronald is an island composed of agricultural population. Its industrial level is not even a starting point. It is basically based on basic handicrafts and very primitive machinery, so it does not have the conditions for industrial production. Even if you build a ship, you can only build some simple wooden boats at most. However, because the seas around this island, not to mention fish, even shellfish do not exist, so there is no room for fishery development, so there is no ship in this area. Moreover, the people on the island do not have a chart of the sea areas around the ronald island. If you have to go out to sea with a few wooden boats, you are simply seeking death. At that time, on the vast sea, when the food is finished, will you go to drink sea water to make a living? You must know that there is no fish in the sea!

So... it is simply impossible to leave this island by going to sea.

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

"After graduation, I will go to patrol the Forbidden Mountains. I will definitely!"

at the same time.

Huang Shanyun's home.

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

Just at this moment...

A very regular knock on the door was heard outside the door... it sounded!

"Here you come!"

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

"We're here. Please play the cards."

As soon as Huang Xi finished speaking, the knock on the door stopped. Then...
Chapter completed!
