Twilight Boundary

Chapter 546 The Responsibility of Serving Ghosts

When a group of ghosts were summoned and pounced on Zhumen Town, in the southwest corner of Mingzhou, Aunt Zhang, who was famous in the township, was carrying a baggage and leading the headless little ghost out of the mountain.

She originally planned to go to Hu Ma's village to meet Hu Ma, but her family was poor and she had no animals to ride on, so she had to carry her own baggage and walked for two days before leaving the mountain. She was planning to go to Hu Ma. Then go to Zhuangzi and ask.

But as she was walking on the field path, a dark wind kept blowing around her. From the corner of her eye, she saw little ghosts hanging on the trees nearby, kneeling in the fields by the roadside, or squatting on the graves. .

Aunt Zhang was a wandering ghost. She had encountered this kind of thing a lot and didn't care. But when she saw more and more ghosts around her, she had no choice but to stop and find a high place to set up an altar. Looking at the candlelight on the altar, I was suddenly shocked.

I saw mountains and plains in front of the altar, filled with wandering ghosts and ghosts. They all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the altar, and cried: "Master, save us..."

“The Truth Cult harms the heavens and lives, and robs me of Mingzhou’s blessings. My luck has been worshiped. We, the remaining souls, do not want to deal with this unlucky person, for fear of being implicated by him, and we will not be able to live in peace in the future..."

“However, these people have strange skills and are forced to use them. We can’t help ourselves, so we can only come and ask the mage for a way to survive..."

　　　…”

 “How could such a thing happen?”

Agu Zhang walked through the village and dealt with many cases of living and dead people. It was not uncommon for the ghosts of grievances to come to her door, but now it seemed that hundreds of grievances that could still be moved in Mingzhou Prefecture came to her door, but she really hadn’t. Saw it.

She was even confused in her heart. This kind of forcible restraint was a skill that people in the sect were good at. If these resentful souls were unwilling, what could they do to themselves?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a slight vibration in his ears, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Auntie, it's time to give the order..."

 “Little shopkeeper…”

Aunt Zhang was slightly surprised, and then she immediately understood that there was a reason why these innocent souls had gotten some guidance and came to seek help from her.

So he nodded slowly, took out the token he had hidden in the bag, and placed it on the altar's heaviest object. Then he pulled out a scratched bronze mirror and silently recited the incantation. , and looked carefully into the depths of the bronze mirror.

Looking deeper and deeper, in the vague illusion, I actually saw a strong man wearing tattered armor on the border of Mingzhou, with countless iron chains in his hands, stretching out in all directions.

Countless lonely and resentful souls were torn away by these iron chains.

　　Even a part of it extended directly in front of him, pulling away all the resentful souls who were complaining to him.

It was only at this moment that she understood the purpose of giving her the token in Zhenzhen Mansion, and slowly said: "The Truth Cult came from outside, and disrespect comes first. You have not been worshiped by them, so you don't want to." It is reasonable to be driven by it..."

 “I promise you, you don’t have to obey his orders!”

　　　…”

When she said the words, she put down the mirror, gently picked up the token, bit the tip of her tongue, and tapped it lightly.

The next moment, the token in his hand suddenly trembled, emitting a burst of divine light. There were countless resentful souls in front of the altar, and something seemed to have been broken off. The ground was filled with the sound of ghostly laughter and gusts of evil wind. It blew in all directions.

 …

 …

In Zhumen Town, one could see dozens of red lanterns floating in the air, shining in all directions. However, they were already enveloped by the resentment coming from all directions. It was almost visible to the naked eye. One by one, the resentful ghosts climbed onto the lanterns and pulled at them. , gnawing food and blowing hard.

In the blink of an eye, half of the red lantern floating over the town had fallen to the ground, becoming dim and looking extremely miserable.

Even in the temple below, although the red lanterns tried their best to emit a strange red light, lighting up the night sky and protecting Zhumen Town surrounded by the rolling resentment, they were already overwhelmed by the resentment pouring in from all directions. Suppressed.

Protector Shen Hongzhi was helpless, and she was still burning sweet potatoes. They were already nervous and did not dare to express themselves. The magic power displayed by the Red Lantern Empress was far beyond their imagination, but this group of ghosts took the light, but it was not at this level. Things cannot be blocked.

But just at this moment, in the chaotic night sky, there was a sudden sound of breaking iron chains.

At this moment, the resentful ghost who came with the rolling wind suddenly stopped what he was doing and just stood on the roof, outside the town, in front of the temple gate, dumbfounded, not knowing where he was.

Immediately, their faces were filled with joy, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to the night sky. Then they cheered loudly and stretched their bodies. The next moment, they turned into the dark wind and disappeared into the misty night.

"what is that?"

Three miles away, a group of people from the Truth Sect, who were holding the Ghost Order and casting spells, suddenly changed their expressions and looked at the circle of banners standing in front of them with disbelief.

Now, the only six flags left suddenly stopped moving.

It was not like the banners were damaged due to backlash when the Red Lantern Lady struggled and resisted. Now, these six banners are still intact, but slowly drooped down, as if they have directly turned into ordinary cloth banners.

 “How dare he?”

Before the shock and suspicion in their hearts subsided, they first saw an angry exclamation suddenly rang out from the sedan. They all turned their heads to look, and saw the sedan curtain suddenly lifted, and a man wearing a black skirt fell out of it. , a woman with a slightly plump figure and a wealthy temperament.

She always looked pampered and carefree, but now the look on her face seemed to be anxious, without the bearing of a wealthy person. Even her eyes were just fixed on the inscription. Card. The leader of the Truth Cult, who was holding the token, suddenly discovered that several cracks had appeared on the token at some point. He panicked and threw it to the ground. Shattered to pieces.

Her face was flushed with extreme anger, she gritted her teeth and looked into the night sky, her voice full of resentment: "You don't even care about the dignity of your relatives?"

This sudden change made the people around her dare not speak loudly and just stared at her blankly.

Beside him, General Tianming did not show any surprise on his face. He only pressed the saddle slowly: "What happened?"

 “It’s the official of Zhen Chong Mansion!”

The woman in black skirt who came out of the sedan slightly gritted her teeth and said: "The official of the Inquiry Hall has exempted you from those ghost labors."

"Now, not to mention your banners, even other abilities to summon spirits and ghosts are no longer effective here. Most of your Shinrikyo's abilities have been destroyed in Mingzhou!"

　　　…”

"What?"

 The people around me may even find it strange when they hear this. If they lose in a battle, it’s not a big deal, but if they say that their own methods don’t work, what the **** is that?

 At the moment I was even anxious to give it a try, but my opinion still didn’t work.

But the people who came out of the sedan car didn't care about the thoughts of these truth believers. They just looked at the broken token on the ground. The token was originally made of iron, but it was made of years. After a long time, it shouldn't have broken into pieces, but it just happened to break into pieces.

She understood the reason behind this, and her voice trembled: "First, he argued with others and refused to recognize others, and then he shared the fragrance and swallowed blood. Now, he actually came to ask questions and ruined our order..."

“Is it possible that in the next step, you will even send swordsmen here?”

"Is it possible that we, the Qingyuan Hu family, will all be expelled by you and go to hell?"

　　　…”

Her voice was so weird that the truth believers around her were stunned. For a moment, they didn't know whether the method of summoning ghosts was seriously broken or the news revealed in this woman's words was more serious.

“Earlier, or even just now, you didn’t say, can you represent the Zhensui Hu family?”

Next to the sedan chair, General Tianming, who was on horseback, listened to the woman's words. For some reason, his face showed a hint of ridicule, and he said slowly: "Why do you look at me now? I'm a ghost, even a ghost." Can’t recruit?”

The woman in the sedan suddenly raised her head angrily and glanced at him on the horse, but General Tianming just sneered and stared at her without flinching.

This woman's eyes also flickered for a moment, but she took it back first and said coldly: "This is my family matter, there is no need for you to come and ask."

 “It’s a matter of your family.”

General Tian Ming sneered and said: "But it is also related to the wealth and lives of the one hundred thousand followers of our Truth Sect. Since you don't have the face, you shouldn't have said such confident words and made such a big show when you invited me to Mingzhou. Spectrum.”

"Since you want to be engaged to me, you shouldn't act like a delicate and noble lady in front of me every day. You should clean yourself up and wait for me to go to the bridal chamber."

　　　…”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. When the maids and slaves who were following the sedan heard this, they suddenly became furious and stepped forward. Seeing that their own ladies were being humiliated, they wanted to take action.

At the same time, the dozens of horsemen and horses following General Tianming also leaned forward slightly and placed their hands on the weapons on their waists.

The atmosphere turned cold instantly, and there were no resentful ghosts around, but the cold wind kept blowing, as if it was going to blow away the last trace of warmth from the people present.

Everyone around them was on guard, and no one dared to act rashly, for fear that someone would lose their life in the next moment, but General Tianming, in this depressing atmosphere, snorted coldly, and was the first to break the silence, with a deep voice. road:

 “Let’s get the cauldron!”

　　　…”

 “Baier cauldron?”

When these three words came out, the tense and solemn atmosphere suddenly dissipated and was replaced by a strange look on everyone's face. Even the woman who came out of the sedan lost her voice and said, "How dare you use such... Evil thing?”

 “Evil thing?”

General Tianming looked at her coldly and said, "You used genuine things, but what's the use now?"

The woman in the sedan looked at him and hesitated, but in the end she didn't speak. Instead, she slowly turned around, sat back in the sedan, lowered the curtain, and whispered: "Then then Just go with it!"
