Due to the distance, Zhou Wen couldn't see the situation clearly. With a thought, he put on the Invisibility Cloak and approached Shen Yuchi and company.
Ice Maiden silently followed behind Zhou Wen. With her skills, even if she didn't transform into her Terror form, Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan wouldn't be able to discover her.
When Zhou Wen came close, he saw that the wooden hut the two of them were kneeling in looked more like a temple. However, the temple didn't have a plaque or a sign. Even the temple walls were made of osmanthus wood. However, despite being a wooden hut, there were still buds growing out of it that bloomed with beautiful osmanthus flowers.
Upon arriving at this area, there was no longer the coldness of Moon Palace. Instead, it made one feel refreshed and indescribably comfortable.
The door to the wooden hut was closed. Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan were kneeling in front of the wooden hut. There were no dimensional creatures around them, but they were kneeling in front of the door with their heads on the ground, motionless.
Could it be that there's an invisible force suppressing them, forcing them to kneel? Zhou Wen looked left and right, but he couldn't see any energy fluctuations. He looked at Ice Maiden beside him.
Ice Maiden clearly knew what Zhou Wen was thinking. She said in a voice that only Zhou Wen could hear, "They aren't being suppressed by any power."
That's strange. There are no dimensional creatures, nor are there any powers suppressing them. Why are they kneeling here? Or should I say, what's the point of them kneeling here? If this is really the Moon Goddess's temple, could it be that they are kneeling here to ask for benefits from the Moon Goddess? But how do they know that the Moon Goddess will give them benefits just by kneeling? Zhou Wen was puzzled.
As the story of Chang 'e's flight to the moon was too famous, people didn't know much about the true Moon Goddess. Zhou Wen had only heard of the legend of Lady Supreme Yin, but he didn't know what kind of deity Lady Supreme Yin was.
Since Shen Yuchi and company were kneeling here, they definitely knew something. Zhou Wen was somewhat puzzled as to how they knew. The conclusion obtained from the analysis of myths might not be correct. A person like Shen Yuchi definitely wouldn't take the risk to come here just for such a guess.
"Director-General, is this really useful?" Wang Qiuyuan knelt there, not daring to move, but he couldn't help but speak.
"It works. Just kneel down and don't move, and don't talk anymore," Shen Yuchi replied.
Then, they fell into silence again. They knelt there motionless and didn't say a word. This left Zhou Wen somewhat depressed. He originally imagined that he could hear some secrets, but to his surprise, they didn't say a word.
"If you want to know something, why don't you ask them now?" the ice maiden said.
"I asked them … That's right … Why didn't I think of that … You're too smart …" Zhou Wen suddenly understood what Ice Maiden meant.
Shen Yuchi and the others were kneeling in front of the wooden house, so they definitely had something to ask of them. They definitely didn't dare to stand up. If he asked them now, they probably wouldn't dare to not answer.
Zhou Wen put away the Invisibility Cloak and walked towards Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyun who were kneeling in front of the door.
When Shen Yuchi and Wang Qiuyuan heard the footsteps, they were alarmed. Even though they didn't dare look up, they quickly recognized the person from the footsteps.
"Zhou Wen, you came just in time. We're trapped here and can't move. Quickly save us," Wang Qiuyuan pleaded.
If Zhou Wen hadn't heard their conversation, he would have been frightened by him and wouldn't have dared to go over again.
"Alright, I'll go over and save you now." Zhou Wen curled his lips and walked to Wang Qiuyuan's side. He reached out to pull him.
"Don't … Don't touch me …" Wang Qiuyuan's body trembled as he hurriedly shouted.
"Director-General Shen, what's going on? At the very least, you should make up a story to deal with me, right? "Zhou Wen squatted down and pressed his fingers on Shen Yuchi's arm as he calmly said.
Shen Yuchi lay there, not daring to move. Wang Qiuyuan said, "We originally wanted to save Little Wei, but we couldn't see the path clearly in the cold fog. We accidentally barged into this place and were cursed. If we move, we will self-destruct …"
"This story isn't made up. Director-General Shen, why don't you make one yourself?" Zhou Wen said indifferently.
Shen Yuchi finally said, "Before coming to the Moon, we did a lot of research and gained a lot of understanding of the mythical Moon. However, that information is based on myths and legends. We don't know if it's true or false, so we didn't publicize it."
"This story is a little interesting. Continue." Zhou Wen's fingers kept pressing down on Shen Yuchi's arm as though he would push them at any moment.
"The Moon Palace is actually equivalent to a cold palace. It's used to imprison. Therefore, Chang 'e isn't the owner of the Moon. She's just a prisoner. In the myths and legends, the true owner of the moon was Lady Taiyin, also known as the Great Yin Primordial Monarch Xiao Dao Ming King Numinous Treasure Clear Yellow Heavenly Venerable, also known as the Moon God. The place we are now is the true residence of the Moon Goddess, which is also the Moon Goddess Temple. "
Shen Yuchi paused before continuing, "We believe that the nature of the Moon Goddess Temple should be similar to the Earth Temple. There might be some benefits to worshiping here."
"This story is quite reliable, but don't tell me that you didn't know about the existence of the Bone Pottery jar and the dead person before coming to the Moon," Zhou Wen said coldly.
"In fact, the Bone Pottery jar and the dead person were discovered very early on. When I was on Earth, I had already done a lot of research and consulted many experts. That's why I knew that the Bone Pottery jar is actually a sacrificial artifact," Shen Yuchi said.
"You knew that the person who picked up the Bone Pottery jar would be possessed, right?" Zhou Wen stared at Shen Yuchi.
"I'm not sure about that. I only know that the Bone Pottery jar is used to sacrifice deities. Ancient magi used the Bone Pottery jar to channel spirits or invite deities to possess them. However, they typically used water or wine. I've never heard of such a flaming Bone Pottery jar, nor do I know what use it has." Shen Yuchi was clearly unwilling to admit that he had long known the consequences of touching the Bone Pottery jar.
Zhou Wen didn't expose him and continued asking, "Did you originally want me to touch the Bone Pottery jar?"
"Why would I have such thoughts? I definitely have no such intentions," Shen Yuchi said.
"Does Wei Ge know anything about the Bone Pottery jar?" Zhou Wen didn't say anything else as he asked Shen Yuchi another question.
"The matter of the Bone Pottery jar is a top secret of our bureau. Little Wei's level isn't high enough to come into contact with those secrets," Wang Qiuyuan said.
Zhou Wen had roughly guessed that he and Wei Ge were actually the sacrifices that Shen Yuchi had brought. Shen Yuchi had originally wanted to lure Zhou Wen into touching the Bone Pottery jar.
Shen Yuchi originally believed that a youth like Zhou Wen, who was young and proud and had powerful strength, would want to study it when he encountered an unknown object.
However, to his surprise, Zhou Wen was like an old man who was afraid of death. With such strength, he was still ridiculously cautious. Furthermore, he didn't seem to be curious at all. He didn't touch the Bone Pottery jar at all. This left Shen Yuchi very disappointed.
