Chapter 570 The Legend of the Blood Moon Night
On the night of the blood moon, all life is destroyed. This is a legend that lives in the village. On this night, every family closes their doors and windows to prevent being eaten by monsters hiding in the darkness.
The red light shone on Tang Yue, and she felt that her movements were stagnant, and she immediately thought that this was the effect of the red moon's light.
She hurriedly hid behind the pillar, and her movements did resume. Looking back, the red moon was completely shining on the statues. Perhaps this was the reason why the monks slowly lost their mobility and turned into stone sculptures.
Since the stone pillars could block the red light, then the stone slabs would probably do the same, so she picked up a large floorboard from the ground, held it against the floor, and left the temple with the statue.
The original ancient god in the temple is still so solemn and sacred, but his expression at this time seems to be a little subtle.
Tang Yue recalled that he didn't find anything strange along the way, so he left from the other direction of the temple. Maybe he could find the exit from here.
The stone slab blocked her body and prevented her from seeing the scene outside the mural. She could only slowly explore inside, and as she walked, she saw a well.
The stone statue spoke, "Well..." Tang Yue immediately understood what she meant and jumped into the well without hesitation.
She went through a long drop, which was definitely not the depth a well should be. The scenery around her changed, and she entered a wider world.
He raised his hand and looked at it. His body had returned to its three-dimensional shape, and the ground beneath his feet was solid grass.
It was pitch black all around, with only glimmering light spots in the grass, which were small flying insects such as fireflies. The moon in the sky should have been blocked, and the red light did not shine on the earth.
Tang Yue put down the stone slab and looked up. Sure enough, there were thick clouds above, and there was the sound of thunder. The red moon was behind the dark clouds.
She took out a moon pearl and used it for lighting. Just when she saw clearly that it was a piece of green grass, someone shouted, "Monster!" He ran away in fear, but heard a "plop" , it seems that someone fell into the water.
She was helpless. Could it be that she was currently in the shape of a monster? She used magic to create a light mirror. After looking at it, she still had her own appearance and did not become scary. So why was that person so scared just now?
Tang Yue did not know that this night was very scary for the residents of the primitive village. The sudden appearance of a beautiful and beautiful girl also frightened them, thinking that she was some kind of man-eating monster.
She walked to the river and used her spiritual power to fish the man out. Saving his life was better than building a seven-level pagoda, not to mention that he still let him in.
The goddess statue has not recovered yet, maybe you can ask him something. The young man was unconscious when he was rescued, and he obviously choked on the water.
It started to rain lightly, and the young man's condition became even worse. He was about to die at any time.
Tang Yue hurriedly cast a spell to make him spit out all the water. The young man woke up, looked up, and was ready to scream again.
Tang Yue stopped him, "I'm just a stranger, not a monster, why are you shouting?"
The young man was confused, "A stranger?"
"Yes, I'm lost. I got lost from my family, and when I got here, I didn’t know what was going on, so I wanted to find someone to ask.” She and the young man probably didn’t understand each other’s language, but there was something wrong with this space, and it even automatically translated their words. , can communicate with each other normally.
The young man said: "No wonder you are so thin. If you were in our village, your parents would think you were sick and would not support you anymore."
Tang Yue was speechless and looked at it. She has also developed muscles in her arms. People have said that she looks good before, but this is the first time someone has said that she is thin and looks sick.
"Okay, maybe the aesthetics of your village are different. Can you tell me, what kind of village is this?"
"This is the Guyue tribe. We believe in the ancient gods. The Moon God is our ancestor, so our surname is Yue.”
“Your tribe is also called Gu Yue?” What a coincidence, the village in the Black Cloud Secret Realm is also Gu Yue Village. "Yes, haven't you heard of it? Our tribe is powerful and famous far and wide. Which tribe are you from?" The young man looked at her doubtfully.
Tang Yue said: "My tribe is too far away. You may not have heard of it. Our tribe is called Baihua, and we are descendants of the Flower God. I will follow my tribe to a very far distance. I was looking for medicine for the tribe leader’s daughter, so I got separated from my tribe here, hoping to meet them again.”
The young man said: "Hundred Flowers? I really haven't heard of it. Who is the God of Flowers?" "Yes." In fact, it was Tang Yue who made this nonsense. She just suddenly wanted to borrow that lady's surname.
“Is it Jumang, the god of spring? This god is also worshiped in our temple. We worship this god at the end of winter every year, hoping that he can revive all things and give us abundant prey. "
Tang Yue nodded, "Yes, this God of Spring is our main god, and we will also worship him in spring."
After confirming that both parties have common beliefs, The young man felt relieved and said: "On a red moon night, a man-eating god appears. Now that the moon is covered, the god will not appear for the time being. Follow me home quickly. Let's hide first."
"Yes." Is that so? What kind of god can eat people?" Tang Yue was sure that there was also a legend about the red moon in the village, but he didn't know if it was consistent with what the monks knew.
The villagers said in horror: "None of us have seen it. Those who have seen it are all dead. Let's go quickly. What are you doing with this statue?"
Tang Yue said smoothly: "This is I am responsible for guarding the statue of our ancestor, the Flower God, and I will protect it with my life."
"I see, but your tribe was too careless to let you be so thin. "Take the stone statue, can you pick it up?" He said as he kindly took the stone statue from Tang Yue's hand and hugged it with both hands.
There was only a muffled sound. The young man failed to hold the statue, and its lower end fell to the ground. Tang Yue hurriedly went to help it. Fortunately, the lower end of the stone statue was not far from the ground, so there was no problem.
She just didn't want to appear special, so she didn't refuse the young man's kindness. She didn't expect that he was not strong enough to lift the stone statue.
The young man said in disbelief: "You actually have so much strength, I can't lift this statue at all."
She smiled sheepishly: "Although I am thin, I have been strong since I was a child. It is very big and famous far and wide, so the tribe asked me to take care of the statue. "Okay, take it, let's go home quickly." The young man stopped talking and led the way, and Tang Yue followed him. When we arrived at the tribal gathering place, there were large and small stone houses, half above ground and half underground.
Tang Yue followed him to the edge of the stone house group. He opened the small wooden door and asked Tang Yue to hurry in. At this moment, the rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the red moon appeared. Revealed again.
The young man was very nervous and quickly entered the stone house and closed the door tightly. "Fortunately, we caught up before the moon came out."
Tang Yue asked: "What terrible thing will happen? Is it something?"
"Anyone who stays outside the house on the red moon night will be found as a headless body the next day, and no one will be spared."
"Then. Why are you outside tonight? "
The young man looked complicated, "Red Moon Night is also the day of sacrifice to the moon god. People who are outside without authorization will be eaten. , it will be the family’s turn to provide human sacrifices to the gods.”
