Twilight Boundary

Chapter 547 Serving the Empress

 “Eh? Why is there no movement again?”

In the Zhumen Town, the Red Lantern Lady saw that she really couldn't hold on anymore, and even the Zuo Protector was seriously considering escaping. However, she suddenly saw that the resentment had left the town inexplicably.

Together with the resentful ghosts and evil spirits that had already rushed into Zhumen Town and gathered in front of Zhumen Town, they dissipated completely at the same time. If it weren't for the lanterns that had been torn to pieces by the resentful ghosts, they would still be in pieces on the ground. Throwing it around makes people think it is an illusion.

They don’t know how such a powerful resentful ghost came, let alone how such a powerful resentful ghost suddenly disappeared...

Only one pair of eyes stared blankly at the red lantern in the temple. It was impossible to describe the doubts in his heart. It was as if he had met the Red Lantern Lady for the first time...

“Is her usual timidity just an act?”

Protector Zuo Shen Hongzhi became suspicious: "She shouldn't have such ability..."

Digua Shao scratched his head and swayed back and forth with doubts in his eyes: "She can handle the first wave, but that's it. She can also handle the second wave. The limit of this Red Lantern Lady is very high." Gao ah, do you want to find a chance to try her in the future? "

 In this confused atmosphere, Hu Ma sighed slowly, sighing in her heart at Agu Zhang's cleverness.

As the current owner of the Zhencun Mansion, he understands that, apart from the few people he scratched temporarily to make up the numbers, Agu Zhang, who had followed him to see the Zhencun Mansion for the first time and had performed the task of interrogating ghosts, , is considered qualified.

When he looked outside the town, he felt even more relaxed. In his eyes, this relative of his was somewhat unclear...

But no matter how unclear it is, when the trouble has reached this point, it’s time to understand something, right?

 In my heart, I hope that she can gain some momentum. The Zhencong Mansion is reopened and cannot be too low-key. If they are not capable enough, they will make themselves, the master of the Zhencong Mansion, feel a little embarrassed...

Could it be that I just carry the golden mace of Zhencun and go out, run to people, introduce myself, and say that I am the new master of Zhencun Mansion?

 …Who doesn’t want to save face?

 …

 …

 “As commanded!”

Outside the town, when the destined general said the name of Bai'erfu with a relaxed expression, even the Truth Cultists and several altar owners following him paled for a moment.

 But after a long time, he still saluted General Tianming and immediately went over to prepare.

The night was getting darker, as if everything in the world had fallen into a deep nightmare. Only three miles away, in the Zhumen Town, the red lanterns even shone a faint red light, but they were also extremely far away from people.

And in this heavy night, there are even more people who are worried about the situation in Mingzhou. Now they are completely confused. They don’t know what the truth religion is doing this time and twice, back and forth, over and over again. what.

They all live in Mingzhou. Even if they have never dealt with the Red Lantern Lady and have heard some things about her, how can they last so long in front of the Truth Religion?

Some people have even begun to wonder whether the Truth Sect, in order to appear to have great achievements, is deliberately trying to raise the status of this red light empress...

Full of hope, they discovered that after the Tianming General gave the order, a group of more than a hundred believers behind them stepped forward one after another, took out the white scarf from their arms, tied it on their foreheads, and looked at It's like teaching with a sackcloth belt.

In the middle of the circle, there was a large black pot of unknown origin, which seemed to have never been washed. There were obvious traces of blood fat on it. Those people with white scarves on their foreheads gathered in front of the pot and shed tears.

Around them, the green flags that should have become ordinary objects in theory were actually swayed again. The person holding the flags walked around them, slowly turning in a circle, chanting some kind of mantra at the same time, looking at them. Eerie and weird.

 As for those people gathered in front of the black cauldron, someone suddenly took the lead and cried out:

“My son, since I am a father, I should not be filial to you. I only pity you for your tragic death. I don’t care about your seniority, so I came here to sacrifice you..."

　　　…”

From this, one person took the lead, and more cries followed. One by one, they actually sounded real. The sadness on their faces and the tears in their eyes didn't seem to be fake at all.

As they cried more and more, the person who started crying suddenly felt even sadder in his stomach. As soon as his body softened, he lay down on the edge of the pot, retched, and a black, weird little ghost came out of his stomach. .

Following that, other people also vomited, and one by one, the terrifying black shadows were spit out into the pot, and the sound of wailing followed.

 In the cauldron, the evil spirit steamed instantly. People in the distance could not see clearly. They could only vaguely see black arms or arms stretching to the edge of the cauldron from time to time, but they were pulled off by something in the cauldron.

Hulala...

 The surrounding flags were flying automatically in the absence of wind, and the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, as if it had become the twelfth lunar month of winter.

Behind them, the people in the entire city of Mingzhou Prefecture felt chills all over, and countless ancestral tablets enshrined in the house suddenly became unstable and fell down from the incense table. , Wei Wei trembled, shivering non-stop.

Outside the city, the destined general just looked at him coldly, with vague madness and ferocity in his eyes. It was as if he had seen the scene that happened in Guanzhou and returned to him again.

　　A few years ago, Guanzhou had been suffering from constant famine.

 This year, it reached its extreme. Drought and famine caused no harvest in the fields, and the people lived in poverty. They had to exchange their children for food and reopen the vegetable market.

The Truth Sect came out in response to the situation, preached in Guanzhou, and waited for opportunities to practice the law. When the elders of the sect saw that the people were hungry, they took a cauldron and lectured everyone in the sect: "The suffering of the people hurts the liver and heart, so since you are willing to do it for How can you not sympathize with the sufferings of the people when they are doing good deeds? "They cook their children and eat their daughters, so why can't you? If you can't, how can you understand the truth of the world and save the troubled world?"

　　　…”

So, he took the lead and built a big pot, only for the people who were displaced and didn't even have a pot to cook and eat the children. Although it was called a hundred children's cauldron, there were more than a hundred children cooked there?

But that’s not all. After being lent to countless people for use, this elder gathered the congregation and threw the pieces into the cauldron. He only shouted that he would eat with the people to learn the truth.

With him taking the lead and loyal followers, they all picked up their children and threw them into the cauldron. They boiled a soup together and ate it separately. From this, they all received great blessings.

Now, General Destiny is going to use this method to sacrifice Bai'er Cauldron and borrow the magic power in the cauldron to break through the many disasters set by the monsters in Mingzhou, harm Mingzhou's life, and save Guanzhou. people.

Those who were watching saw the Truth Sect gathered together and knew that they were casting spells, but they didn't know what spells they were casting. However, no matter how far away they were, the evil aura coming towards them was enough to make everyone feel frightened. He even held his head, not daring to listen to the child's cry.

 But even if I cover my ears, the cry of a child will still come in.

Even if it is dozens of miles away from here, the child's cry can still be heard clearly, as if he is right next to me, next to his ears, crying on his neck.

“He used such evil things in Mingzhou after all…”

Not far away, the people in the sedan seemed to be unable to bear the evil spirit and evil nature in the cauldron. They ordered the sedan bearers to move away, and then sighed in a low voice: "Ghosts always hate this thing the most. He It's okay to use it..."

　　"Now that the ambassador has been released, it's time for my cousin to show up, right?"

"only…"

She ordered the maid beside the sedan: "Pass a letter to the altar and tell the three uncles that the things here are no longer something that I, a junior, can handle."

 “Invite them, together with that gentleman, to come here to take charge of the overall situation!”

　　　…”

　　　…”

 “What the **** is that?”

 When the cries of countless babies and children rang out, everyone in Zhumen Town suddenly felt their scalps go numb.

This scene was really too weird. They couldn't even understand how the Red Lantern Lady escaped from the two arrests just now. But now this movement is even scarier than the previous two times. It seems that countless people suddenly appeared around the town. A crying baby.

 In the invisible shadows, there were sneaky, weird shadows crawling back and forth everywhere, and pairs of eyes that were extremely hungry, staring at every piece of flesh on their bodies.

Protector Zuo Shen Hongzhi didn’t even know what it was, but the instinctive fear instantly overwhelmed her. All the hairs on her body exploded, and she jumped up quickly. She obeyed her instinct and ran away immediately.

And the Red Lantern Lady in the temple was also shining with red light, but she was urging and shouting that she just wanted the Zuo Dharma Protector not to leave herself here.

 ‘At worst, I have to carry my natal lantern before leaving, this temple is no longer needed…’

  ‘…’

But none of them expected that when they heard the cry, the little shopkeeper who came from Qingshi Town and had almost zero presence would suddenly sigh lowly when the cry rang out, lift up his robe, and slowly Get up slowly.

"forward…"

Sweet potato burning caught a glimpse and immediately said: "...Little shopkeeper, what are you going to do?"

 “Of course I went out to help the Red Lantern Lady!”

Hu Ma stretched out his hand, got into the bullock cart, took out the ghost-headed sword that was in its sheath, and held it under his arm. He said with a smile: "I said I'm here to help, it's not good to watch it here all night. "

"you…"

Protector Zuo reacted. Looking at Hu Ma’s indifferent expression, it was a little hard to understand: ‘Is this kid so stupid? ’

But because of Hu Ma's demeanor, he didn't really say anything for a while. Then he saw Hu Ma take the knife, but then turned to look at him and said: "Master Protector, I saw you wearing a smiling face mask earlier. It’s very beautiful. Can you lend it to me?”

Protector Zuo was shocked by his demeanor and said subconsciously: "It's right in the house...you...what are you going to do?"

Hu Ma walked straight to her room and said with a smile: "These people only deceive us that there is no one in Mingzhou. They dare to do any kind of black magic here. Do they really think that we have no rules here?"
