Chapter 433 Impure Glimmer of Light

Yuan Ming frowned, quickly selected the believers again, and started looking elsewhere.

After struggling for most of the night, until Yuan Ming's consciousness was exhausted and he was a little tired, he checked more than a dozen dungeons, but could not find any trace of Xu Che.

Xu Che seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Yuan Ming put away the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and rubbed his sore eyebrows. He almost confirmed in his heart that there must be something wrong with Xu Che.

According to his intense search, it would be impossible to find the other party unless the other party died.

However, Xu Che acted very cautiously, and most of his activities were only within the city, so the possibility of his accidental death was not high.

The key is that there is something wrong with Yuanli now, and Xu Che suddenly cannot be contacted. This is definitely not a coincidence.

The believer's willpower is very important to his soul cultivation, so naturally it cannot be underestimated. After Yuan Ming's expression changed for a moment, he immediately stood up and left Linyuan City without any hesitation.

…

Half a month later.

At dusk, in an underground city five hundred miles away from Wuyun City, at the gate of Wusu City, a tall figure wearing a bamboo hat walked through the dilapidated and low city gate and entered the city.

The small border town located in the desert is not prosperous at all. There are few brick houses in the city, and most of them are low houses built with irregular stones.

The windows of the houses are extremely small, and they look like towers and bunkers at random heights.

There are few shops on the street, and there are no open-air vendors. Even the passers-by have their heads wrapped in gauze and walk in a hurry.

Nothing else, just because the black wind is raging right now, the city is blowing sand everywhere, and the air is filled with a dry earthy smell.

Yuan Ming held the bamboo hat on his head and walked slowly inward along the street, following the location he discovered during the inspection the day before yesterday.

Not long after, he came to the door of a small courtyard on the back street.

At the same time as Yuan Ming knocked on the door, a ray of thought was also transmitted into the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of something being knocked over, and then a series of rapid footsteps.

There was a "squeak" sound.

The khaki wooden door of the small courtyard was pulled open, and a rough face full of stubble was revealed from inside. His wrinkles and the scars on his face were wrinkled together, forming an expression of fear and suspicion. .

"Hu Ji, how are you doing lately?" Seeing this, Yuan Ming took off the hat on his head and revealed his face.

The wrinkles on the rough-faced middle-aged man's face instantly softened, and his expression of surprise disappeared, leaving only fear and joy. He quickly turned over and knelt on the ground.

"Lord God..."

Hu Ji immediately shouted loudly, crawled to Yuan Ming's feet, hugged his boots and kissed him.

"What are you doing?" Yuan Ming was startled and quickly retracted his feet.

At this time, he saw a thin woman walking out of the bunker-like room behind her. She was Hu Ji's wife. Her cheekbones were red. She was straightening her somewhat messy clothes and walking quickly towards this side. come over.

The woman looked a little frail, but obviously no longer sick. She shouted "Lord God" like Hu Ji, rushed to Yuan Ming's feet, knelt down and kissed his boots.

Yuan Ming couldn't bear it anymore and quickly called them to get up and walked into the courtyard.

The two people followed Yuan Ming, looking nervous and uneasy, with obvious joy and fear in their eyes.

Yuan Ming saw it, but he was full of doubts in his heart. He had never instructed Xu Che to act like this, he had never asked him to let his followers perform such a great gift to him, and Xu Che himself had never mentioned it.

But I don’t know why it became like this.

Yuan Ming sat down on the stone bench in the yard, looked at the two of them and asked, "Have any strange things happened around you recently, or have you met any strange people?"

Hearing this, Hu Ji's eyes flashed with surprise. He looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"Since I moved to Wusu City, I have been busy preaching. I occasionally use the money and food sent by the gods to give alms, and I haven't encountered anything strange." Hu Ji thought that Yuan Ming was testing his preaching performance. He quickly explained.

"God's envoy?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.

"It's Mr. Xu Che. He said that ordinary people are the ones who have no profit and cannot afford to live early. They need to attract Xu with benefits, and then use the deeds of Ming Yue God to influence them, teach them the rituals of Ming Yue God Sect, and let them see the religion. If he performs a miracle, he will be able to achieve spiritual liberation and become a devoted believer in the true God." Seeing Yuan Ming's worried expression, Hu Ji said hurriedly and fearfully.

"When did he come here last?" Yuan Ming frowned and asked.

"About a month ago, the God Envoy sent money, food, and a brand new statue, and he has never been here again," Hu Ji said.

Only then did Yuan Ming remember that he was busy with cultivation and various affairs because he was reassured by him. Indeed, he had not contacted Xu Che for a long time before.

At this moment, Yuan Ming suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from outside the yard, all the way to the outside of the yard.

Immediately, there was the sound of the wooden door being clicked.

Hu Ji glanced at the door, and was not in a hurry to open the door. Instead, he explained to Yuan Ming with some excitement: "They are all your believers. They come here to pray together. You want to bring blessings to them." Want to see the true form of the god?"

"You go and pick him up. I'll watch from the sidelines. Don't mention my existence." Yuan Ming said in a deep voice.

"Okay, okay... It's already a great gift to have them in the same place as you." Hu Ji quickly responded and turned around to open the door.

The wooden door opened, and a group of people came in noisily. Soon, nearly a hundred people gathered, filling up the small yard.

The crowd was bustling and lively. Most of the people came with their families, and the whole family believed in the Dark Moon God.

There were also many pregnant women among them, supporting each other, and they looked very harmonious and friendly.

Hu Ji was a little worried at first, but when he saw that everyone seemed to be unable to see Yuan Ming sitting on the stone bench in front, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's really a god", and then he didn't say anything more.

The people crowded in the yard were very excited, telling each other about the changes that had taken place since they believed in the "Dark Moon God" and the miracles they thought they had witnessed.

Some said that their health was getting better and better, some said that all their diseases were cured, some said that they were not tired after walking for three days in the desert, some said that they could carry a large jar of water, and some even said that their wife gave birth to two sons in one pregnancy...

Yuan Ming frowned more and more as he listened. He believed that he had the power of vows to protect him, and that he could strengthen his body and ward off evil spirits to a certain extent. When would he be blessed with a child?

When he heard about those so-called miracles, Yuan Ming felt even more absurd.

Some said that they dreamed that a big python entered their body and then they became pregnant. Some said that they saw a golden snake in the desert, and some said that when they prayed, they saw the phantom of the Dark Moon God...

What's more, even when they went out and encountered a wild wolf giving birth to a cub, they were all connected with the miracle of the Dark Moon God.

"How did Xu Che preach this way, and what kind of way did he preach?" Yuan Ming frowned and pondered.

Hu Ji saw that Yuan Ming seemed unhappy, thinking that some believer was talking nonsense and offended the gods, so he hurriedly stopped him.

Everyone seemed to respect him as a small leader, and the yard soon became quiet.

Hu Ji bowed to Yuan Ming, turned around and went into the house. After a while, he came out holding something covered by a red cloth and respectfully placed it on the stone table next to Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming knew it was his "Mingyue Statue" from the outline.

Seeing the statue being brought out, the atmosphere in the yard became more solemn, and everyone knelt down on the ground in unison.

Her wife also brought high-legged plates from the house one by one, which contained apples, pears and other fruits and fruits, and offered them in front of the statue.

At this time, Hu Ji looked up at the sky.

Seeing a vague crescent moon above his head, he shouted to everyone: "Mingyue has appeared, start praying."

After that, he knelt down on the ground like everyone else.

Everyone prostrated themselves, chanted something, and began to pray sincerely.

Yuan Ming looked at their pious appearance, and for a moment he became more solemn.

As they prayed, Yuan Ming saw that these people began to have faint spots of light, floating above their heads like thousands of fireflies, and then gathered towards the statue on the table.

All the light spots were absorbed by the statue, and a trace of wish power closely related to Yuan Ming was condensed in it.

At the same time, in other places in this small town, there were also fireflies, gathering towards this side.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming took out the Heaven Stealing Cauldron and operated the Dark Moon Art to try to attract these wishes.

The next moment, a ray of white light rushed up from the statue and fell straight towards the Heaven Stealing Cauldron in Yuan Ming's hand.

Yuan Ming's pupils shrank, and he immediately interrupted the operation of the art.

He clearly saw that the light was mixed with a wisp of dark red light, which was not pure.

As he stopped casting the spell, the light returned to the statue, and some of it also dissipated, like a soft breeze blowing through the crowd, which immediately made them feel comfortable, and they couldn't help but think it was a miracle.

But Yuan Ming didn't care about these things at the moment. He raised his hand to uncover the red cloth covering the Mingyue statue and looked at it carefully.

At first glance, he didn't notice anything unusual. There was no obvious difference from the statue style he had given to Xu Che before, and it was even more detailed and vivid.

But as he looked at it, Yuan Ming found that there was an extra black disc with delicate micro-carving in the hands of the statue.

The material of the disc looked like stone and jade, slightly translucent, and there were complex and strange patterns carved on it, and there was an obvious blood-colored crescent pattern in the middle.

The carving of this black disc was obviously a level higher than that of the statue. Putting them together, there was an obvious sense of disharmony, which made people feel that they were not the same kind of objects at first glance.
