Volume 14 Chapter 38 The Priest

"It's coming!"

Yao Shichen and Yao Chunxue, brother and sister, immediately became nervous!

Yao Chunxue hurriedly rushed to the table and grabbed a ballpoint pen in the pen holder above!

"You...... It can't really be marked, right? Yao Shichen faintly felt that something was wrong: "People outside should find out, right?" ”

"It's such a dark day, unless he turns on the flashlight and checks the back of every playing card, he can't find it!"

"What if he checked the back of the cards that were drawn every time?"

"Hmm...... That can only be considered bad luck. ”

Then, the brother and sister came to the door.

The knocking on the door continued on a regular basis.

Yao Chunxue grabbed the ballpoint pen in her hand and pressed the tip of the pen out.

"Please deal the cards."

As Yao Shichen's words fell, the knocking on the door stopped.

Yao Chunxue suddenly felt a little strange. Every year during the Bone Night Festival, when the dealer knocks on the door outside, someone always has to answer out loud, and the knocking will stop. However, it stands to reason that if you hear someone coming towards the door, you can already stop knocking.

This...... It's a little unnatural.

However, even so, it is only a little unnatural. Chunxue didn't think about this problem deeply, what she was thinking about now was how to make marks on the cards.

"I'll come first!"

She squatted down, waited for the cards to be stuffed in, and without looking at them, she drew one straight from it!

"You ......"

"It's all the same anyway......" she then flipped the card over to a 7 of hearts. Then, she's on the back of the card. Central location. A moon was drawn with a ballpoint pen. And a five-pointed star!

She once had a word with Lingxi in the morning.

Yao Shichen couldn't help but cover his face suddenly, this IQ ...... Is she really her own sister? You don't have to make a mark so obviously, do you?

With this helpless thought, Yao Shichen had no choice but to draw another card, and this card was also snatched by Chunxue and made a mark! Of course, the same is the stars and the moon!

At this time, Yao Shichen was full of strong uneasiness.

Cheating like this...... Can it really be?

Ghost card games have long been a tradition on Dead Water Island. There have been some rules in the past that are said to avoid drawing ghost cards, but I have never heard of cheats to avoid drawing ghost cards. The average person always subconsciously thinks that this is a foul play. Do this...... If it's equivalent to a foul......

He immediately grabbed Chunxue's hand, lowered his voice and said, "It's still ...... Forget it? ”

"It's all ...... ready"

"But...... I don't always feel right, or I look for the playing cards at home, I remember having the same back cards at home......"

"No...... I must not let Lingxi draw a ghost card! ”

Then she put the cards back. Then, the playing cards were slowly pulled back through the crack in the door.

Then...... All was silent again.

"Hoo ......"

Yao Chunxue lay on the wall and took a deep breath. said, "It seems that there is no problem." ”

"Sayuki actually asked you to do such a dangerous thing? You're crazy, aren't you? Yao Shichen is still full of uneasiness about his sister's behavior: "Cheating on the ghost card game. Could it be a blasphemy against the Lunaris God? ”

"No matter...... To me, the Spirit Seal is more important than the Moon Shadow God! ”

"You...... How dare you say that? ”

"I'm annoyed!" Chunxue shook her head desperately: "I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!" By the time of the Moon Shadow Festival, I must see Lingxi successfully graduate and become an excellent Qi Practitioner! ”

Chunxue's expression was very solemn, without the slightest hesitation at all.

"The female university is not staying, ......" In the end, Yao Shichen could only say such a sentence......

About five minutes later, another family was visited by the "dealer".

This is a family of six people.

The greater the number of people, the greater the probability of drawing a ghost card. Sometimes, there are indeed some people who, like Yao Shaxue, do not stay at home at night and go to other people's homes to spread the risk.

The six were a husband and wife and their four children. On Deadwater Island, there are not many only children, and Xu Yun and Lingxi are relatively rare.

"Mom and Dad are done pumping, so ...... Next I'll smoke. ”

The eldest of the four siblings crouched down and began to prepare to draw cards.

"Come on, big brother, don't draw ghost cards!"

"Come on, big brother!"

The eldest brother Zhuo Nanfeng stretched out his hand, hesitated for a few seconds, and drew a card.

"Whew...... It's not a ghost card. ”

"Great, I'll smoke it instead!"

"Shall I come?"

"What's there to grab from this kind of thing?"

Then...... With the drawing of cards one after another, in the end, only the last person remained, the youngest sister in the family, Zhuo Nanyue.

"Little sister, it's your turn."

Zhuo Nanyue walked in front of the ghost card, but she didn't know how to draw the card.

"I ......"

Her body trembled so much, I don't know why, she just couldn't reach out.

"Don't be so nervous, right?" The eldest brother Zhuo Nanfeng comforted: "But it's just a card draw, even if you really draw a ghost card......

"I heard ......" Zhuo Nanyue trembled and pointed to the door in front of her: "The 'dealer' is not a person from the island office, but a 'ghost'......"

"Huh? How is it possible, it's just nonsense. ”

"No, I know a friend who interned at the Island Office, and she secretly revealed to me that the Island Office has not sent anyone to participate in the ghost card game!"

"Huh?"

"What did you just say?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely weird.

"Impossible, right?" Father Zhuo shook his head and said, "Hey, the dealer outside, do you want to say something too?" ”

Indeed...... "dealer" is not human, which is a long-standing saying. Because, the dealer never speaks, and his whereabouts are very strange. You know, ghost games have never forbade the dealer from speaking, yet the dealer never said anything under any circumstances.

Outside the door, there was no sound.

For more than a decade, the ghost card game has continued to this day, and there has been no "dealer" who has answered anything. Therefore, the saying that the ghost card game is a supernatural game has long been spreading.

"I ...... What if I draw a ghost card......"

However, it is impossible not to smoke it. The Ghost Card Game is a must-play, and all the rules are spoken by those elite Qi Practitioners through communication with the Moon Shadow God. If you break the rules set by the Lunaris God, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Mom, Dad...... You must have a vague feeling that something is wrong, right? For so many years, the game of ghost cards has never been ...... It's always been ......"

"No, it won't." Zhuo's father shook his head, but his heart was still uneasy.

Although in his decades of life experience, every year of the ghost card game has been spent safely, it is also because their Zhuo family has never won the ghost card. However, with the increase in the number of people in the family now, year by year, maybe one day, someone in their family will draw a ghost card!

"But...... However, there has never been an accident in a ghost card game, right? ”

"Really...... Hasn't there been an accident? Zhuo Nanyue suddenly said a sentence: "Actually...... A few days ago, I went to see the priest! ”

Priest?

This surprised the people of the Zhuo family!

What is a priest?

On Dead Water Island, people who can cultivate to the point where they can communicate with the Moon Shadow God are called "Qi Practitioners". And when the Qi Cultivator cultivates to the pinnacle, he will be able to become a divine official, which is equivalent to being the spokesperson of the Moon Shadow God in the human world! The status is equivalent to that of the Pope! The priest is the highest-ranking and dominant person on Deadwaters Island!

Because of this, in the history of Dead Water Island, at the same time, there can only be one priest! And the priest has been stationed in the Moon Shadow Temple next to the Forbidden Mountain for many years!

"Where did you go to the Forbidden Mountain?"

"Nanyue, you ......" Zhuo's mother hurriedly grabbed her daughter's hand: "You are not even a qi cultivator, how can you go around the forbidden mountain?" ”

"I, I'm worried...... So, I'd like to ask about the Bone Night Festival......"

"Priest...... But what did the priest say to you? ”

The people of the Zhuo family were all nervous.

And the "dealer" ...... outside the door is still waiting...... Wait, the moment when they draw the playing cards! (To be continued......)
