The sound of the wind only echoes on the desolate ground, turning into a tragic melody, as if telling the distant past.
The wind and sand were lifted, permeating the heavens and the earth, blending with the dim sky, unable to distinguish each other.
I could only vaguely see a long convoy moving forward in this haze.
The convoy was made up of huge iron cages, and there were countless mirror shadows and heavenly faces, shrouded in despair.
In front, there were two people sitting, each other's ages were separated by an era, and the old man's face was wearing a mask, and the same was true for the young man's face
The expression of the mask is very exaggerated, full of persistence and piety, as if it is always in worship.
"The people who worship the Red Moon Temple need to wear this mask, which is a ritual prescribed by the temple and a qualification for sacrifice. Fortunately, I did this kind of thing in my early years."
"As for the destruction of the alliance between the two races, similar things are nothing in the Moon Sacrifice Domain, just two small clans, the Red Moon Temple is high, under normal circumstances, it will not be ignored."
In particular, the sacrifices from the Red Mother have been collected almost all over the years.
This period is actually the craziest time for all races.
"But I still have to make some preparations, I'll take care of this matter" Duan Mu Zang's calm voice in the wind and sand came into Xu Qing's ears.
Xu Qing raised his hand and touched the mask on his face and nodded, regarding the attitude of the Red Moon Temple towards all living beings, this was mentioned in the team information.
Today is the ninth day they left the holy city.
There is still half a month left before the designated sacrifice of the Red Moon Temple. In the past few days, Xu Qing has repeatedly thought about what Duanmu Zang said a few days ago.
Still thinking about the souls of dead beings entering the temple, Duanmu Zang turned his head to look at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was silent, and after a long time, he looked into the distance, looked at the dim sky, and spoke softly, "Has anyone really provoked the curse and reincarnation of the moon worship domain throughout the ages?"
Duanmuzang shook his head and said, "Never."
Xu Qing thought of Team Qian's previous life, and when he was thinking about it, Duanmu Zang suddenly spoke.
"But there are some people who have been trying and working hard." But speaking of this, Duanmu Zang looked at Xu Qing's eyes with deep meaning, hiding some temptations, and words came out.
"The red moon is not eternal!" Xu Qing and Duanmu Zang looked at each other and nodded slightly, he saw that this sentence was like a code word, but he didn't know what the next sentence was.
Duanmu Zang waited for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"Are you sure?"
"The red moon is not eternal." Xu Qing said in a deep voice.
Duanmu Zang was silent for most of the time. He sighed, raised his hand, took off his mask, and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Xu Qing, do you know the Reverse Moon Palace?"
Xu Qing's expression froze, he had never heard of this organization, and there was no such organization in the information he remembered, so he shook his head.
Duanmu Zang's eyes, since he said the word Reverse Moon Palace, have always been paying attention to Xu Qing's eyes, as if he is sure of something.
Seeing Xu Qingwu's reaction at this moment, he didn't say anything more.
Xu Qing didn't ask, he saw that this organization was very mysterious and hidden, and rashly inquiring would cause misunderstandings.
Convoy, keep going.
Another seven days have passed, they have walked across the plains, crossed the mountains, and approached the eastern center at the top of a mountain peak, Duanmu Zang took a sip of wine, and recently made a decision in his heart, and suddenly spoke "Xu Qing, I believe you are not from the Red Moon Temple"
Xu Qing heard this and looked at Duanmu.
"The Reverse Moon Hall is a mysterious organization that has existed for a long time in my Moon Sacrifice Domain, and this organization has a history as long as the Red Eye Temple! Its origin is unknown and it has been destroyed many times, but every time the Red Mother comes to harvest and the sentient beings wither and revives again, this organization will be formed."
It existed at the same time as the Red Moon Temple, which was enough to show that this Reverse Moon Hall was not the same as the Three Ordinary Sounds.
And it is even more amazing that it can be revived after being destroyed again and again.
You must know that although the Red Mother is asleep now, it was not like this in the past.
Duanmu Zang's voice came again.
"The Reverse Moon Hall gathers all the people in the Moon Sacrifice Domain who want to struggle and resist, and their dream is that there will be a day when this ancient curse can be lifted and everything can be overthrown."
"Although this dream is extremely slim, it is a hope."
He is also working hard here, and although the members of the team cannot help each other in reality, they are each studying how to resolve the curse.
Xu Qing heard some waves rising in the water here, he also studied curses in a mine, but he didn't go deep, it took a lot of experiments.
Duan Muzang's voice contained some emotional fluctuations at this moment, echoing in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.
"The identity of every member of the Reverse Moon Hall is a secret, no one knows who others are Huan except themselves, protecting themselves from exposure is the first task of the Reverse Moon Temple."
"Because the Red Moon Temple has been purging out the members of the Anti-Moon Temple, and even among these members, there are people who have infiltrated the Red Moon Temple" Duanmu Zang took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Xu Qing.
"The red moon is not eternal, I hope it will last forever."
"Xu Qing, you can, you are really not a person from the Reverse Moon Palace, but I think you will definitely contact in the future, if you want to join the Reverse Moon Palace, you can go to the Kusheng Mountains."
Duanmuzang stopped speaking, closed his eyes, and continued on his way.
Xu Qing saw this, and knew that the right party was unwilling to continue this topic, so he did not ask.
He understood that Duanmuchang should be a member of this reverse temple, and being able to say these things in front of him was enough to show that Duanmuchang trusted him.
Xu Qing thought about what Duanmuchang said repeatedly in his heart, and time passed day by day.
Eight days later, their convoy finally arrived at the center of the East District, a huge valley in the distance, which caught Xu Qing's eyes. The mountains on both sides were shocking, surpassing all the mountains seen in Xu Qing's scriptures, and the strange rocks on it seemed to exist a valley formed in the depression in the middle of the ghosts, like an open mouth of the underworld, which was shocking.
At the same time, the breeze blows, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, howling in all directions.
In the mid-air of the valley, a huge blood-colored heart was floating, it was beating, and the thumping sound spread out, adding a more eerie atmosphere to this eerie valley, draped in a blood-colored veil. And the temple and statue above the heart exude amazing intimidation, high above.
There were also many figures sitting cross-legged on the meteorite floating around, still motionless, just like Xu Qing had seen before.
As for the earth, there were doors of different shapes and materials, large and small, surrounded by waves of teleportation and continuous spread within these doors.
There are crowds coming out and leaving from those gates all the time, which makes the mountain crowds endless.
There are too many strange races within it, some with real bodies, some with illusory bodies.
But most of them were wearing the same masks as Duanmu Zang, these were the eastern tribes of the Moon Sacrifice Domain, bringing their sacrifices and coming here to offer sacrifices to the Red Moon Temple.
"Those doors are disciples, Xu Qing, you can go to find them to communicate, most of them can be teleported to the south you want to go to, as for the cost, spirit stones and sky fire crystals, they can be used."
"As for the temple in the sky, don't look up," Muzo said in a low voice as he approached.
As a local, he is very familiar with the process here, and he reminded Xu Qing at this moment.
He looked emotionally and said solemnly, "Finally, I wish you a safe road!"
After saying that, Duanmuzang left with the convoy.
Seeing Duanmu hide and disappear into the crowd, Xu Qing took a deep breath and walked into the crowd as well.
More than ten people from all ethnic groups come and go here.
The temple did not pay attention to the people of the next year, as long as they paid all the autonomy of the sacrifices, and after the number of people increased, it would still give people a sense of liveliness, and occasionally some ethnic groups could be seen trading, and there was a lot of noise.
Walking inside, Xu Qing did not choose those large doors, he aimed at some small doors, and quickly locked a door more than a foot high, noticing that no one was coming in or out there, so he was about to go over.
But the discussion from the surrounding noise made Xu Qingjiao take a break first.
"You have heard that something big is happening in the west!"
"You are talking about the Lonely Sun Clan in the west five months ago, right?, they seem to have launched a global wanted."
"I also heard about this, it seems that they have lost a treasure."
"What treasure is the sun they made themselves!"
"As the largest ethnic group in the west, didn't they create a sun in the sky many years ago to make an area no longer dark, but five months ago, this sun was stolen."
"Stealing their sun from the Japanese solitary tribe, this is crazy."
"I don't know, it seems that even the Lonely Sun tribe itself is inexplicable, but there is a name mentioned in the wanted, called Weiqing Sword Flame, and the sun thief is extremely arrogant, this is the name engraved on the earth before leaving, but no matter how you look at it, this name is very strange."
"This Weiqing Sword Flame is now famous."
These voices came from a distance, accompanied by exclamations and inhalations, and when they fell into Xu Qing's ears, Xu Qing's expression under the mask became strange.
And the pseudonym Wei Yangzi and the names of Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan plus their own Qing, it just so happened that Dui Qian had good intentions, and it seemed to be shown in these four words, even if Xu Qing did not participate, he still added Xu Qing's name to it.
Xu Qing sighed, walked towards the wooden door in front of the valley At the same time, in the valley sky, above the beating heart, a woman in red walked out of the Cong Temple, this woman looked unsatisfied, looking down at the earth, and an unfathomable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"This little doll has a stronger evil aura on his body." Behind her, everyone in the temple, including the divine envoy, was cross-legged at the moment, motionless, like a statue.
Everything in the sky, no one in this valley could detect it, even if the woman's figure was very clear, but even if she looked up, everyone couldn't detect it at all.
Everyone's cognition has been silently changed.
Xu Qingxian's divine fingers full of curses in Xu Qingxian's body were constantly retching, and then pretended not to see it and continued to retch.
Xu Qing also didn't notice, and at this moment he walked to the wooden door in front of him, communicated and left, and the other party did not go to the south.
So Xu Qing patiently looked for other disciples, until after asking dozens of people forward, he came to a shorter wooden door, this door was half a yard long, it looked a little broken, as Xu Qing approached, the door frame suddenly twisted, wriggling like a snake, and a face emerged from the door, looking at Xu Qing.
"This Taoist friend, can you teleport to the south here?" Xu Qing spoke calmly.
The face inside the door looked at Xu Qing a few times and smiled. "One hundred thousand spirit stones"
Xu Qing glanced inside the door, this price was too outrageous, and most of his spirit stones were left to Duanmu Zang, and there was not much left on his body.
"Don't be too expensive, it's the peak season now, all ethnic groups are sending offerings, if I don't plan to go to the south to do business, I'm afraid I don't want to go if you give me 100,000 yuan, so far." The face inside the door opened faintly.
After Xu Qing pondered, he nodded and said. "Calculated by heavenly fire crystals!"
"No problem, a thousand white fire crystals or one red fire crystal." The face inside the door lit up when he heard this, it preferred the Heavenly Fire Crystal.
Xu Qing nodded and communicated with him, but the other party couldn't leave immediately, and there were still several groups of guests who hadn't finished teleporting, so they agreed to teleport here tonight and evening.
Xu Qing frowned, he planned to leave immediately, so he left and went to other disciples, and he really found a big circle, and it would take three days at the earliest, not as good as the wooden door.
So in the end, he chose this half-zhang wooden door.
At this moment, there were still three hours before dusk, so Xu Qing didn't walk around, but found a corner and sat cross-legged and waited silently.
Soon time passed, and after most of it had passed, Xu Qing saw Duanmu Zang in the crowd coming and going.
Noticed that Xu Qingduan Muzang was walking forward. good
"Didn't find the right disciple?" Duanmu Zang asked.
"I found it, I'll leave later" Xu Qing looked at the previous convoy after Duanmu hid, which was gone.
Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Duanmu Zang sat there and smiled. "It's already been given to the temple, and the matter has been resolved, you don't have to worry, just leave with peace of mind" Duanmu Zang's expression was as usual, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
But in fact, his heart was full of worry, not because of the extermination of the two races, the Red Moon Temple didn't even ask about it.
It was the temple's request to let him worry about God, to let him go back and prepare another 500,000 offerings within the specified time limit.
This matter is difficult, but Duanmu Zang does not intend to tell Xu Qing that Xu Qing has done enough for them, and he is ready to solve the future things by himself.
Xu Qing looked into Duanmu Zang's eyes.
Duanmu Zang smiled, with what he had experienced and the city formed by the accumulation of years, it was not something Xu Qing could see through instantly, especially if he intended to hide it, he would not show the slightest flaw.
"Why don't you believe it?" Duanmuzang smiled and said, "You are a little too suspicious, I plan to go back after you teleport away!"
Xu Qing was silent, they really didn't see the clue, so they nodded, at this moment the dome was getting darker and darker, dusk fell, Xu Qing stood up and said goodbye to Duanmu Zang.
"If you have time in the future, remember to come back to see us" Duanmu Zang looked emotional!
"Definitely!" Xu Qing spoke softly.
"Definitely!" Later, Ling'er also drilled out of his neckline and responded in a crisp voice.
After Duanmu Zang had blessings in his eyes and nodded slightly, Xu Qing turned around and walked towards the wooden door not far away, and soon approached, taking out the heavenly fire crystal.
The face inside the wooden door appeared, swallowed it in one gulp, and then the door shone with teleportation light to form a vortex, and Xu Qing took a deep breath and was about to step in.
But at this moment, a low voice came from behind him.
"Close the door!" As soon as this voice came out, Xu Qing's face suddenly changed, and he was about to take a step, but the wooden door closed in an instant, and the transmission fluctuations in it disappeared in an instant, turning into ordinary.
Xu Qing's expression was ugly, and he turned his head to look behind him, his eyes fell on a figure walking from a distance, and his pupils contracted.
This was a woman in red, her body exuded the fluctuations of Lingzang, and the people around her seemed to not see her existence, even Duanmu Zang didn't notice it at all, as if their cognition had been changed, and the world they saw was different from Xu Qing's here.
Xu Qing was silent, bowed his head and bowed to the person.
"I've seen seniors." He recognized that the other party was a servant of the Red Moon Temple who had been sent into the crack of the coffin, but the person who was obviously dead appeared in front of him, in fact, the answer was easy to judge.
Especially the scene where the perception of the surrounding people was changed was more certain.
Since the terrifying existence in this coffin can change cognition, then at least it can also change the cognition of the gods, and then use some method to get a clone out, everything is reasonable.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked respectful.
Under the great pressure rising in Xu Qing's heart, the girl in red seemed to smile and walked step by step, and finally stood in front of Xu Qing.
Seeing Xu Qing's attitude, the woman in clothes smiled, and she was not surprised that Xu Qing recognized herself.
"You little doll, you are so polite every time that I can't afford to have evil thoughts!"
"The seniors have noble statuses, and the juniors are like this, which is also the education of my master." Xu Qing's expression was solemn.
"Mention your master again!" The woman in red smiled meaningfully.
Xu Qing's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed again. "Since the seniors don't like it, the juniors don't mention it."
When the woman in red heard this, her eyes looked at Xu Qing for a long time, and then shook her head and smiled, "I know you have a good background, and your master should also be a powerful person, but this is the Great Domain of Moon Sacrifice."
The woman in red said, looking up at the sky.
Xu Qing was silent.
After a while, the voice of the woman in red echoed, "Does the little doll still remember the agreement under the sky and the sea?"
"Junior remember!" Xu Qing had a solemn expression and nodded and spoke.
"Then, you and I will go to the unmelted ice field in the northern part of the Moon Sacrifice Domain, where our sisters were suppressed, and there is also a younger brother who is also buried under the glacier."
The voice of the woman in red was reminiscing, containing a touch of sadness in me.
Xu Qing hesitated, he didn't know if what the other party said was true or false, but no matter what? If you go to the north, the danger there must be extremely high.
With his own ability, it is too risky to participate in such a thing at this moment.
As for the income is just the mandate of heaven, it seems to be out of proportion.
Xu Qing did not hide these thoughts in his heart, but showed his hesitation on his face.
For the power in front of him, he knew very well what his expression meant, and the other party could tell at a glance.
This is the way the weak set conditions for the strong.
Although it may not work, it is still worth trying.
"Is this trick taught to you by your master?" The woman in red glanced at Xu Qing, spoke lightly, her voice was calm, and it contained coercion.
In his memory, once he spoke like this and expressed himself like this, many people would tremble and agree to all his requests.
Xu Qing's expression showed embarrassment, and with this gesture, the atmosphere was relieved invisibly.
Seeing this, the woman in red had a strange look in her eyes and thought for a while, and the words came out: "This is a deal, I need you to do it sincerely and sincerely according to my requirements."
"There are three benefits you can get"
"You can get the destiny."
"Second, your human race in the Heavenly Fire Sea area will receive a temple Dharma thought, and the rabbit will go to the additional sacrifice and be sheltered by this decree before the next sacrifice day comes."
"Three, when you complete my request, I will give you a mysterious gift."
"Now, tell me your choice." The woman in red stared at Xu Qing and spoke slowly.
Xu Qing silently looked up at Duanmu Zang.
At this moment, Duanmu Zang was going away, in his cognition Xu Qing had already left, and his back was a little bleak, obviously the moment Xu Qing left here, the first thing he saw was the statue of the Red Mother, this statue made him extremely jealous.
"Your master does have some stature, and he actually sent several gods to devour the red mother, causing her to fall into a deep sleep."
The woman in red had clear eyes and smiled, he clearly knew everything.
Xu Qing blinked and did not answer, but looked at the temple, and following the open door, he saw the statue-like people inside.
"Their taste is not bad!" The woman in red.
"You can take a break." licked his lips, "The trick is to be done in full set, the day of the sacrifice will be over the next day, and we will leave."
Xu Qing heard the words and sat down cross-legged, looking at the earth and walking away, full of desolate Duanmu Zang.
The woman in red waved her hand, and a red light shot out from inside the temple, turning into a token and heading straight for Duanmu Zang.
On the earth, Duanmu Zang, who was worried, raised his hand to catch it and checked it, feeling the protection of the god token and the decree to cancel more sacrifices.
So he looked suspicious and turned his head to look in the direction of the temple, where there was nothing.
After a long time, Duanmu Zang withdrew his gaze and walked away silently, muttering in his heart.
"Is it him?"
"What is his identity?"
