Twilight Boundary

"Who have I offended..."

"Ever since I built this ruined temple, I haven't been able to get out of the front door or step forward. I have been forced by the Right Protector to learn how to grant marriage and how to bless the birth of a son..."

"...I have never given birth while I'm alive. Those people come here to kowtow and beg for a son. What do I have in mind?"

"But I've accomplished this job, why can't I stop? Everyone says it's better to build a temple, but why do I feel that the more I build a temple, the more I become a grandson? It's better to follow the right protector and pretend to be in the woods. When ghosts scare passing merchants to steal gold and silver..."

"I used to be called a red-lantern ghost, but I enjoyed the incense offerings without any worries. Later, I was called a harm in Mingzhou, but I lived a comfortable life. Now I am called a criminal god, but I don't have any face left. …”

"You can say that I harmed a whole city. I don't even know what's going on, so you come here to wipe me out..."

"...Obviously at the beginning, the most serious thing was that she was just a foot washer!"

"..."

When Hu Ma led Li Wazi and others to Zhumen Town, the whole town was almost empty. There were only red lanterns hanging in the town, which were blown back and forth by the cold wind. They were miserable and miserable, with faint sounds of crying.

Most of the incense masters, worshipers, and stewards in the meeting were gone, and the remaining ones who didn't see the situation clearly looked confused, holding weapons, and didn't know where to go.

"When I first entered the Red Lantern Club, I had not seen the temple yet, but the people were strong and the horses were strong, and the masters were like a cloud, and it was unfathomable."

Hu Ma looked at the entrance of the town and couldn't help but sigh: "Now Mingzhou is only a little chaotic. The gap between the Jianghu sect and the real destiny has become clear. There are obviously many people who are capable, but they don't have the ability at all." Vulnerable!"

"However, it is at this time that we show our loyalty the most..."

There was a slight movement in my heart: "Is it possible that after joining the association for so long, we finally have the opportunity to enter the core management of the Red Lantern Club?"

He hurriedly asked Li Wazi and others to cheer up, lead the animals, take care of the things in the car, and rushed into the town in a high-spirited manner. Before the people arrived, Li Wazi and others shouted: " The flax shopkeeper from Qingshi Town is here to escort you..."

Logically speaking, the word "escort" is inappropriate, but Hu Ma also thought about it. The Red Lantern Empress is such a master of crime, even if she oversteps a little, it won't be a problem.

And now in the big house in the town, Protector Zuo Shen Hongzhi is also very anxious. He can see that since the news that the Truth Cult is coming yesterday came, there are fewer and fewer people in the town.

Some left a letter and ran away in the name of going out to do business. Some said that their eighty-year-old mother was getting married and she needed to go back to be the best man. This was all about the rules, and most of them didn't even say hello. , the person ran away without a trace, and even took away some things.

"One by one, after the empress has passed this calamity, we must deal with it properly!"

She just gritted her teeth angrily. The Red Lantern Society cannot be said to be a piece of loose sand. When fighting the evil ghost in blue, the rules were strict. The chosen one knew that he would die, so he had to bite the bullet.

But now it’s different. The reason for fighting against the Tsing Yi Devil is because the Red Lantern Club has the upper hand. Even if it doesn’t gain the upper hand, the Red Lantern Club loses. Then it will have the energy to retaliate against those who don’t obey the rules afterwards. Even if it kills the whole family, it will not be the same. Winking.

But when encountering the Truth Cult, let alone winning, after losing, even the temple of the Red Lantern Lady cannot be saved, and there is no way to retaliate, so when these gang members run away, there is no pressure.

Even she, the protector, could only say a few harsh words, but she actually had no moves in her heart.

But just when I was watching everyone in the town running away without being able to stop me, I suddenly heard that someone was coming to "escort" me, and I felt happy.

He hurriedly came out, but saw that Hu Ma only brought seven or eight guys and dragged a large vehicle over, but his face was confused again:

"What use are these few people doing?"

But when I thought about it again, I felt sad in my heart: "This time when we encountered a tough situation, everyone with some ability in the meeting ran away. I am really loyal. The only ones thinking about our mother-in-law are me, my sworn sister, and this loyal little girl." Now that you’re in charge, what else is left to choose?”

"If I want to run away later, I have to take them with me. Such loyal brothers will be needed when I make a comeback in the future..."

"..."

So he hurriedly made an invitation to the town, and went directly to sit down in the house opposite the temple of the Red Lantern Lady. Protector Zuo personally accompanied him to drink tea. In the past, Hu Ma, a small shopkeeper, could at most be the same person as the incense owner. Sitting, you don’t have this honor.

As expected, it is easy to get promoted in troubled times.

After sitting down and serving tea, the three of them stared at each other, and then they found something to say: "It's just that the Truth Sect is very fierce now, and there are few people in the club now, how can we compete with them?"

Hu Ma picked up the tea, took a sip, and said: "They are being unreasonable first, why are they so polite? If they really come, then fight!"

The sweet potato next to him saw Hu Ma and kept rolling his eyes, pretending not to recognize him. Now when he heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Then hit him!"

"..."

Protector Zuo thought for a while, and decided not to bring the two of them with him when he makes a comeback in the future...

Just as I was thinking about what to say, I suddenly heard a rattling sound outside, and saw that the wind from nowhere suddenly swept into the town, blowing sand and rocks all over the window edges, door panels, and walls of the town. The lanterns were shaking wildly.

She suddenly changed her expression: "Is this coming?"

…

…

In Mingzhou City, many people came out. In the rolling gloomy wind, there was a black sedan chair in front, followed by two maids, four servants, and a red-haired fire bull. The general Tianming, wearing a black cloak, sat on it, and dozens of riders followed behind.

Further behind, there were two rows of altar masters with green banners, and more than a hundred gloomy and murderous members of the Truth Church. It was a black mass, and it seemed that all the people who stayed in Mingzhou City followed.

Such a scene, not to mention Zhumen Town, even the people along the way, and even the nobles and masters in Mingzhou City were frightened, and they sent people to follow from a distance, just to inquire about the news.

And these Truth Church members, with murderous aura, rushed all the way to Zhumen Town, but did not enter the town. About three miles away, they stopped their horses one after another. Several altar masters of the Truth Church carrying green banners with the word "Reason" behind them took a step forward at the same time and stuck the green banners in their hands into the ground.

"Swish!"

Eight green banners were inserted into the ground at the same time, and the eight altar masters who carried the banners circled the banners at the same time and began to chant the spell.

As they chanted the spell in circles, the banners suddenly began to rotate, and the banners stirred up gusts of cold wind. One by one, the wronged souls and evil ghosts crawled out from under the banners, accompanied by the cold wind, and blew straight to Zhumen Town.

People with weak tempers could even see that in the cold wind, there were evil ghosts covered with chains, crawling quickly on the ground, and heading straight to the temple of the Red Lantern Goddess.

"Good fellow, you want to arrest someone without telling me where I came from or what I did wrong?"

Hu Ma, who was standing in front of the Red Lantern Temple, was shocked when he heard the wind outside: "This behavior is even more arrogant than our Zhenshou Mansion?"

Ignoring the hint of Di Gua Shao winking at him excitedly, he just turned his head and looked at the red lantern in the temple opposite, thinking: After all, it was picked by Er Guotou, so it shouldn't be so useless, right?

"Tsk!"

While he was thinking, the wind in the town became stronger and stronger, and the wooden shelves were blown down. In the small Anshen Temple opposite, which was only a few feet square, the light of the red lantern suddenly lit up strangely.

It filled the small Anshen Temple all of a sudden, and even broke through the tiles on the temple, illuminating the dark blue night sky.

As the red lantern lit up, all the red lanterns hanging everywhere in the town, but no one lit them, lit up one by one. For a moment, red lanterns were everywhere, as if a red lantern array had been set up.

No matter how timid the Red Lantern Goddess was, she would resist when so many evil spirits rushed into her temple to capture her. If you listen vaguely, you can even hear voices like "unjust" and "don't bully me".

It feels like she is struggling and shouting injustice in the face of the other party's unreasonable capture.

The only problem is that her struggle seems to be a little too strong. Red lanterns are everywhere, and the air is blowing a chilly wind. The evil spirits that climbed down from the banners just stretched out their claws and threw out the iron chains.

They were immediately greeted by the red light of the lanterns. In an instant, it was like the first snow melting, the iron chains broke into pieces, and the faces of the evil spirits were torn into pieces by the light of the red lanterns.

"Swish, swish..."

Three miles away, two of the eight green cloth banners that the Truth Church had planted on the ground suddenly made a sound of cloth tearing, and they were actually torn to pieces. The Truth Church members guarding the two banners suddenly fell out, spurting blood from their mouths, and were obviously dead.

This unexpected movement scared everyone around, not to mention the Truth Church, even the left protector Shen Hongzhi was stunned for a moment.

"No, is the Queen's magic power really that high?"

"..."

The light of the red lanterns that had just lit up in the temple also dimmed slightly, as if a little confused: "Om?"

...

...

"Resisting the punishment ghost, hurting my law enforcers!"

Three miles away, the Tianming General who was sitting high on his horse saw this scene, and his face suddenly changed. He shouted coldly: "I have long said that this little An Shen has a mysterious origin and receives incense privately."

"Now look at her, her magic power is even more powerful than I thought. With her little An Shen who has only built the temple for less than a year, how can she raise such magic?"

"I think she may have secretly received evil sacrifices to have such ability!"

"..."

But beside him, the cousin of the Hu family in the black sedan was also shocked by the movement. She deeply agreed with the first half of the sentence of the Tianming General, but hesitated about the second half: "Her magic power is indeed not what the An Shen should have."

"But if it is an obscene sacrifice, how can it be so upright?"
