Twilight Boundary

Chapter 542 Shadow in a City

I am not afraid of ghosts crying, but I am afraid of ghosts laughing. Mingzhou City was frightened by such a sudden incident that night, and the whole city was in a panic.

The followers of the Truth Church who stayed in the city also hurriedly sent people out, but as soon as the green flag was waved, the little ghosts disappeared without a trace, leaving only the trembling people in the city and a strange red lantern hanging high on the archway.

Looking at the countless closed doors and windows and the cries from time to time in the distance, they were so angry that they trembled all over: "How bold, how bold, the case god is haunting, this is unjust?"

Now they came from Guanzhou, ambitious, recruiting soldiers and horses, raising money and grain, and they were going to do something big, but who would have thought that they first encountered the group of grain bandits in the mountains. Not only did they not hand over the grain, but they also came out to rob the grain in the name of the grain-protecting general, which made them very angry.

But in the end, they didn't take the group of people in the mountains seriously. After all, it was easy to gather a group of masters with unique skills to deal with such a group of people.

But to recruit these people, it was far from enough to rely on a little money and the reputation of the Truth Church. In the end, it had to rely on the most tangible thing:

Blood food.

But for the Truth Church, which had long been settled in Mingzhou Prefecture and even prepared blood food for them, they were already furious when they heard that the Red Lantern Society was so tough, not giving a penny, and openly provoking.

What else is there to say?

Originally, it was agreed to visit at noon the next day, but now I can't wait to go to Zhumen Town at night, but there will be an ambush if I leave the city at night, so I hold back for the time being.

However, he was so angry that he wanted to destroy Zhumen Town the next day, but he didn't expect that on the next day:

There was an epidemic...

This epidemic came so suddenly that at least half of the people in the city were sick because they had a shock last night.

This disease was not so severe, let alone fatal, but it made people dizzy and restless. Even breathing seemed to be suppressed and uneven. In the whole city, even the vendors on both sides of the street and the wine sellers with signs could not open their doors.

For a while, it looked like an empty city.

"This epidemic came so suddenly, could it be that someone poisoned it? Or, someone set up an altar in the city and invited the plague god to come?"

The Truth Church was shocked and angry, but they could not take care of anything else for the time being. They immediately sent people to investigate everywhere, and sent a team of people to force the Five Ghosts Shopkeeper in Caoxin Hall to come over.

Now that the young master of Caoxin Hall is not here, the shopkeeper Wugui has no intention to compete with the Truth Church, so he has to come. After taking a look, he sneered, waved his hand and left: "It's not a plague, nor is there anyone poisoning."

"We in Caoxin Hall can't handle this matter, you should go and ask some more capable people to come..."

"..."

The people of the Truth Church are a little angry that the shopkeeper of Caoxin Hall is so arrogant and his words are incomprehensible, but the countless nobles who have served them have come to ask, so they have to offer a reward and ask all the masters in Mingzhou Prefecture to come out and take a look.

Under the heavy reward, there are naturally capable people. Soon, a fortune teller who was passing by Mingzhou Prefecture was recruited into the government office and simply said: "There is no plague here, but it is much worse than a plague..."

"Someone used something to shadow the people in the whole city..."

"..."

"Shadowed?"

The leader of the Truth Church who was responsible for handling this matter was shocked.

There are shadows, suppressions, nightmares, suppressions, and even mutual generation and mutual restraint in the sect, all with different meanings. Only the harming sect knows this best, but most others have also heard of it, but they are very surprised.

"This is a whole city of people. What kind of thing has this ability to shadow the people of this city?"

"..."

"Haha, something that can shadow the people of this city can only be made by something that can benefit a city..."

The fortune teller smiled bitterly and sighed, "But I have been traveling all over the country for so many years, and I have never seen such a courageous person..."

"Being able to use this powerful method is one thing, and daring to use it is another. Even if the person who casts the spell is not afraid of sins, hurting the heaven and death, and dying from ghosts and gods, the ancestor of the harming sect will probably send people to catch him..."

"..."

With a bitter smile, he did not say much, nor did he accept the recruitment and reward of the Truth Church. He just pointed out the key and waited to see how the Truth Church would deal with it.

At this time, an urgent letter suddenly came from the direction of Laoyin Mountain. The leaders and chieftains who were leading the troops in front to suppress the grain bandits sent their servants to say that their soldiers were suddenly demoralized and in disarray.

The soldiers under their command were all given by the nobles in the city. In terms of physical strength, they were stronger than the grain bandits in the mountains who could not even eat enough coarse grains. Therefore, although the grain bandits in the mountains were powerful recently, they could barely hold them back.

But now it seemed that all the people under their command had wilted. They could not get up in the morning. Even if they were whipped up, they were listless. Not to mention going to the battlefield, they were too lazy to hide when the enemy rushed over...

"It's okay to shadow the people in this city, but how come even the soldiers sent out were shadowed?"

General Tianming of the Truth Sect, his eyes were burning with anxiety, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became: "How dare you be so domineering, such a red-lantern empress, a little god of crime?"

"You're so good at bullying..."

But earlier, when the news reached Zhumen Town, the consequences were obviously more serious. When the potato was burnt in the early hours of the morning and Dai Ye brought the news back, the entire Red Lantern Club was thrown into chaos. .

The Red Lantern Queen didn't know what was going on. She just heard that the Truth Cult was going to send people to fight. She was angry and anxious. The right protector was not around, so she was almost crying from anger.

The Truth Sect is too overbearing. They say there is no more blood food. The remaining one or two hundred jars are given to you, but you don’t want them. What else do you want?

Protector Zuo Shen Hongzhi was extremely angry: "I told you that the remaining blood food can be given to them, but the Truth Cult actually doesn't want it and must come to fight?"

"You...you brought all the words?"

"..."

"Isn't it?"

Digua Shao also wiped away tears and said: "Sister, when I go there, I will tell them carefully that we don't want to give the blood food. It was stolen. They haven't been cleared of the suspicion of the Truth Cult. They pretend not to know. Isn’t this too much?”

"But in the end, not only did they not forgive me, but they looked down on me because of the lack of blood and food. They said that I was the one to be beaten. They also pushed away the temple of the Red Lantern Lady and took me back to work as a foot washer for them!"

"..."

Protector Zuo was immediately furious: "They are so bold!"

"If you don't live up to your expectations, we are still the Red Lantern Empress. How can we be their foot-washers?"

Digua Shao said: "Yes, sister, we can't bear it anymore. There are three to five hundred men in the meeting. Just call them over and have a fight with them..."

The Zuo Protector Shen Hongzhi, if he had enough time, could probably guess that something was not right, but now he couldn't care less, he just said with a grimace: "With that group of people, what else do you expect? After hearing this If the Truth Cult is going to attack, I’m afraid they’ll run away as soon as possible.”

"What the hell?"

Diguashao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhumen Town, which was obviously a little empty, before he realized what he was doing, and hurriedly held Protector Zuo's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I won't run away, I'll stay here and make progress with you." retreat……"

The Protector Zuo was immediately moved and sighed: "What a good sister..."

"It's just that if we really have to, we have to leave. It's just a pain for us, the Red Lantern Lady..."

"...She really can't leave."

"..."

"..."

"What?"

At this time, in Zhuangzi in Qingshi Town, Hu Ma ordered Digua Shao to do something, and believed in her ability, and was drinking tea leisurely, waiting for the opportunity.

Unexpectedly, before the results of the sweet potato burning business came over, he unexpectedly welcomed a guest, Xu Xiangzhu from the Red Lantern Club, who ran to the village at noon, taking his old slave and a A pretty and enchanting woman, looking at the dusty world.

As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, he went to the water tank to take a ladle of water and said, "It's a big deal."

"The Truth Cult is going to use the name of blood food to attack our Red Light Club. They are going to attack us at noon today. Everyone in the club who can escape has fled. Those who are well-informed left before dawn yesterday..."

"..."

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, then stood up and responded: "Then Uncle Xu..."

"I just left before dawn yesterday..."

Xu Xiangzhu drank half of the ladle of water and handed it to the old slave beside him, and then said to Hu Ma: "Do you have any fast horses in your village? I have to go back to the mountains to take shelter first."

‘No, if such a big incense owner like you runs away, what will we, the Red Lantern Empress, do? ’

Hu Ma was dumbfounded when he heard that. He asked Digua Shao to put more pressure on the Red Lantern Club and shoulder the responsibilities. Why did this bitch just break up the Red Lantern Club?

Just as I was feeling strange, I saw at a glance that Xiao Hongtang, who had gone to the city to inquire about information, had also returned. He hurriedly greeted Li Wazi: "Let me make some food for Uncle Xu first. Uncle Xu, do you remember? When we first joined the club, he helped us of……"

Then he comforted Master Xu Xiang not to be anxious and to eat something before going into the mountain. Then he found a reason to arrange the animals and came to the stables. Hearing Xiao Hongtang describe what happened in Mingzhou City, he felt a little numb all of a sudden. :

"Plague release?"

Earlier, she was allowed to mess up Mingzhou with Sweet Potato Burning, but she was not allowed to wipe out Mingzhou...

It was only after further questioning that I realized that it was not a plague. I guess burning sweet potatoes was a way of punishing souls, and I didn’t have the ability to plague a whole city. After asking about the specific situation in detail, I finally understood: "This Did you ladies use that blessing evil spirit treasure?"
