Xu Yun drank a glass of water.

It was already the fifth time he had drunk water in just half an hour.

Although the power was cut off at the island office, the water was not cut off.

At this time, a candle was lit in the house, and a family of three was sitting around...... Play poker!

Yes, playing cards!

"Speaking of which......" Xu Yun looked at the playing cards in his parents' hands and said, "I remember that every year during the Bone Night Festival, the playing cards used to draw cards are almost the same as what we are playing now." ”

"That's right......" Xu Ying showed a smile: "Actually, it should be said that the playing cards we play are all imitations of the playing cards of the ghost card game." ”

Xu Yun looked at the stack of cards in his hand, put a 3 of spades next to a 3 of hearts, formed a pair, and then took out the two cards.

As soon as the cards were put on the table, Xu Yun suddenly said a word.

"What if...... Shall we mark the cards in advance? ”

"What?"

"Make a mark on the back of our card, and then replace the card we drafted. In that case, when the second card draw in the evening, isn't it ......?"

"Xu Yun!"

"For example," Xu Yun is certainly not a person with a hard IQ like Yao Chunxue, "There are some patterns on the back of this, what if you say that the middle pattern is drawn a little deeper with a pen?" ”

The strange situation that Huang Shanyun came out of after entering the Forbidden Mountain, the great postponement of this year's Bone Night Festival, and his father's words were enough for Xu Yun to confirm...... Everything will never be as simple as he imagined! Ghost card games are by no means a "game"!

Drawing a ghost card may mean some kind of terrible fate!

Whatever that is...... Of course he had to do everything in his power to avoid it!

"Xu Yun." Xu Ying showed an extremely anxious and urgent look. "Don't do that!"

Mother Xu was also taken aback. persuaded again and again: "Yes, Xu Yun, this is not a joke!" You do this...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

However, Xu Yun was quite calm: "In the rules of the ghost card game, there is no rule at all, and it is forbidden to make marks on the cards. Isn't it? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ying and his wife were stunned.

This...... Is this a loophole in the rules?

"Father...... In the future, if I get married, the number of people in my family will increase. In general. On the night of the Bone Night Festival, you have to draw cards three or four times, and you have to draw as many times as there are people in the family, year after year, sooner or later, the family will draw ghost cards, isn't it? ”

The biggest risk of winning a ghost card in a game of ghost cards is the increase in population. The Xu family actually has a lot of servants, but the night of the Bone Night Festival will naturally let them go home.

"Don't do that. Even if you want to do that......" Xu Ying said this, lowering her voice; "Marking this kind of thing. Don't even think about it! This is ridiculous! ”

"I've decided, Dad."

"Shut up! Absolutely not!

Xu Ying was naturally very frightened at this time. After all, Xu Yun's idea was too shocking. But...... He didn't expect that someone had already done that!

And at this time...... Xu Yun recalled what happened in Hongluo Academy during the day today.

It's approaching the end of the year, and the Moon Shadow Festival is approaching. For a Qi Practitioner, the Moon Shadow Festival is like the college entrance examination, a critical moment to test whether the Qi Practitioner can be recognized. Moreover, the Moon Shadow Festival will also elect candidates for the priesthood. Divine officers are not for life, and for any Qi practitioner, becoming a divine officer is the ultimate dream.

During the day today, because it was the Bone Night Festival, there was only one class in the afternoon, and the class was announced. The tutor of Xu Yun and others' class repeatedly emphasized the precautions for the Bone Night Festival at night.

"In short, according to the normal mind, you can draw cards as in previous years. Don't think too much about drawing ghost cards, but in any case, you must not draw cards, the ghost card game is set by the Moon Shadow God, you are a qi practitioner, you must know this better than ordinary people. ”

Every year, "follow the rules of the ghost card game" will be emphasized by the instructor, and all the rules will be written again on the blackboard in detail, so that no one will forget the rules.

"Mentor," at this time, a person suddenly asked, "What is the reason why this year's Bone Night Festival seems to be coming late?" ”

The tutor looked over, and the person who asked the question was one of the best qi practitioners among the students who were about to graduate this year, Su Qingchan.

"This question ......" the mentor smiled bitterly and said, "This year's Bone Night Festival really came very late, according to the records of the Island Office, before this year, the latest record of the Bone Night Festival was also in June, and that was already twenty-three years ago. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at each other.

"Why is the Bone Night Festival coming so late this year?"

"I don't know......"

"Do you think it's because of ...... Huang Shanyun entered the Forbidden Mountain? No one has ever entered the Forbidden Mountain in recent decades, right? Is it because of this reason that the Moon Shadow God? ”

For a while, everyone's eyes moved towards Huang Shanyun in the class.

But Huang Shanyun's face did not change in any way.

Since she entered the Forbidden Mountain, many people did not dare to get close to her, because Huang Shanyun had become a "blasphemer" in their eyes. The will of the Lunaris God is absolutely not to be violated!

"Don't talk nonsense!" The mentor immediately spoke up to stop everyone's discussion: "The Bone Night Festival is just a tradition on Dead Water Island for many years, and winning the ghost card doesn't necessarily mean anything......"

However, it was said that it was so, but the students under the desks, one after another, had suspicious looks in their eyes. The Night of the Bones is one of the spookiest festivals on Dead Waters, and while the elders have claimed for years that ghost card games are harmless, many people have begun to disbelieve this claim. People are speculating about what it means to win a ghost card. Qi practitioners, in particular, are most concerned about this.

"Mentor." At this time, a girl with slightly short hair asked: "Is it a fact that the so-called drawing ghost cards means bad luck?" ”

This is a relatively broad statement on the surface. Of course, it was not publicly acknowledged by the Qi practitioners.

This argument is unfounded. At the end of the day, the Ghost Card Game is just a game dominated by Lunaris, so don't think too much about it, but take it seriously. ”

Apparently...... Either the guru is hiding something, or he really doesn't know anything.

However, Xu Yun apparently believes that the former is more likely.

And he believes that Su Qingcian also thinks so.

On this island...... It seems that the older generation, to their younger generation, is hiding a lot of things. For example...... They know very little about the history of Deadwater Island.

The facts they are hiding...... What is it? (To be continued......)
