Twilight Boundary

"The altar has issued an order, as urgent as an imperial decree!"

At the same time, in a place far away from Mingzhou, there was a row of fences made of twigs. The fence was not far away, and it stretched for three miles in total. But this short row of fences seemed to separate Guanzhou from Mingzhou.

The hungry ghosts, who were desperate for a grain of food, wandered aimlessly and did not enter Mingzhou.

But now, the fence has been torn open many times.

In the air, there were misty white figures holding three incense sticks, looming and slowly walking forward. Hungry ghosts followed them one by one, smelling the scent of incense and moving forward in a daze.

Ghosts and gods protected each other, and a hundred miles away was only a moment away. More and more hungry ghosts were led by them to the front of Mingzhou City.

But now, a vague and ambiguous sound suddenly came from the air. These white figures looked up stupidly, and it seemed that they saw a series of talisman papers with burning fire flying in front of them, and there was a majestic voice in them, which fell into their ears.

They listened to the voice in the talisman, and they all bowed with incense. After receiving the order, they suddenly quickened their pace, slightly adjusted the direction, and went straight to various places in Mingzhou Prefecture.

…

…

"Several waves of people went up, and their voices were hoarse from scolding, but there was no movement in the opponent's formation, and the hungry ghosts outside, no matter how they scolded, did not respond, as if they could not hear."

Now, someone in Yang Gong's tent also came to report, which was unexpected.

Originally thought that the group of hungry ghosts would move like a hornet's nest and attack one after another, but unexpectedly, they had suffered two losses in a row, and now their attitude changed drastically, just shrinking in front of Mingzhou City and refusing to come out.

All of a sudden, they were all depressed. If the other party attacked, it would naturally make people anxious, but now that the other party did not attack, it would make people more unpredictable.

"We are unlucky..."

The iron-mouthed military advisor could not help but sigh and said, "On the battlefield, the most expected encounter is that kind of impatient and brainless people. I thought we encountered it at first..."

"Now it seems that although the group of hungry ghosts are unconscious, the leader is not a fool."

"Since this is the case, it is not easy to take advantage of two more big advantages. We can only spread out our manpower. First, we can persuade villages everywhere to mobilize young and strong people to protect grain. Now we have more than 15,000 soldiers and horses, but for Mingzhou, it is still too few."

"Then we should set up the battle formation, prepare for a head-on confrontation with the other party!"

"..."

His arrangements were still in order, and in just a few days, the armor and seal making were more appropriate than before, but when it came to a head-on confrontation, there was obviously not much confidence in his tone.

But even so, they could only arrange it this way, one by one, just waiting for this battle.

But at this time, someone suddenly heard a report: "It's not good, in the area of ​​Xiaoliang County in the south, traces of hungry ghosts were found, rushing into the villages to grab food..."

"Already... There are already several villages, no one is alive after being eaten..."

"..."

"What?"

Everyone in the tent was shocked when they heard it. They were still guarding Zhumen Town, but Xiaoliang County was in the south of Mingzhou, one or two hundred miles away from here. How could hungry ghosts suddenly appear and go there?

In the midst of the panic, news kept coming: "Hungry ghosts appeared in Zhuoshui Village, eating food everywhere..."

"Meng Village encountered a group of crazy people, eating people..."

"..."

As the news spread, everyone in the field felt a chill on their backs, and Bai Shanzi in the crowd was stunned. He couldn't close the fan in his hand. He just said stupidly: "It's ruined, ruined, the most frightening scene has appeared..."

For a while, everyone looked at each other, and even the disciples who don't eat cattle were speechless. The group of hungry ghosts was fierce, but if they fought head-on, they could fight back with all their strength.

But now, Mingzhou is full of hungry ghosts. Not only are the grain protection soldiers attacked from all sides, but the key is that the grain protection soldiers are young and strong from all over the country. Now they heard that the village was hit by the disaster, then...

...then how to fight this battle?

In a panic, they all subconsciously looked at the military advisor Tiezui and the grain-protecting general Yang Gong, wanting to ask what was going on, but they saw that Yang Gong had already gritted his teeth, but the military advisor Tiezui, on the other hand, had calmed down.

"What are you panicking about?"

Facing everyone's gaze, he said calmly: "I was also panicking earlier, but after hearing this letter, there is no need to be nervous anymore."

He slowly exhaled and said: "Didn't they say that there is a nobleman in Mingzhou?"

"That nobleman, I don't think he is dead."

"..."

Everyone was shocked, and some people had a sentence in their hearts: 'Bushi Niu has always rebelled against the nobleman, but now you put your hope on this nobleman? '

As if he saw what everyone was thinking, Tiezui took a deep breath, waved his hand, and didn't say much, but he understood in his heart: 'No matter what the nobleman is like, since I, the leader of Bushi Niu, have mixed with that stupid young master, he must have his own arrangements! ’

…

…

“Hu…”

When Yang Gong received the news earlier, a strong wind suddenly blew in Zhumen Town and woke Hu Ma up.

He looked at the three sticks of incense stuck in front of him. The incense was originally good, but now it was burned into a sinister shape. Especially the incense, which was originally enjoyed by the Red Lantern Empress and was the most exquisite one, but now , actually burned out wisps of black smoke, which was extremely strange.

And he sat still, letting the black smoke hit his eyes. In a blur, he seemed to see people all over Mingzhou wearing white clothes and tall hats, holding three pillars in their hands. Incense walks in the strange shadow of yin and yang.

Behind these shadows, there are all followed by a group of hungry ghosts. They are confused and confused, and the ghost mist follows them. Wherever they pass, the blessings are destroyed, and even the grass and trees seem to be covered with a layer of decadence. gas.

The expression on his face at this time was very strange. When it came time to wait, he didn't look happy.

Maybe it’s due to the limitations of my identity, but even if I’ve been born in two lifetimes, there will always be times when I see things that I don’t even believe will really happen before my eyes...

Perhaps, there are always some people, even if they use their imagination and think of the lowest limit for them, they always have the ability to easily break this limit, right?

He was thinking in his heart, and his expression looked very calm. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Mingzhou Fucheng. He saw that there were layers of incense smoke in the Fucheng, steaming like clouds and billowing. It floated straight out of the city, as if it could cover the entire Mingzhou.

Then, a rare look of violence suddenly flashed across his face. He suddenly raised his hand, and the Punishing Officer sword beside him suddenly flew into his hand, and then he stabbed it into the ground in front of him fiercely. .

He took a deep breath and blew it hard on the black bone at the handle of the knife.

With a roar, like a strong wind, it swept from Zhumen Town to the entire Mingzhou in an instant.

At this time, no one knew that altar after altar had been erected all over Mingzhou, in every village, on the hillsides, and in the fields and wells. Some were larger, some were smaller, and some were more regular. Some simply set up an incense table.

In front of these altars, there were people walking around in the streets and alleys on weekdays. They noticed the evil spirit coming, and the candles on the altars and tables had burned to three or four in an instant. feet high.

Similarly, when dotted altars cover a state, there are also many sneaky things among the mountains and fields, in the streams and deep valleys, under the trees beside the bed, in the tombs, windows and mountains. They should not be exposed so easily, but they are. He was also called out by a mysterious voice.

In his eyes that were blurred by the wind, he saw a certain high-rise mansion. There was a figure inside, slowly walking out, and he shouted:

"Evils and evil spirits are causing misfortune and stealing the merits of my people, causing yin and yang to become disordered. Heaven and earth are both as light as one. I can't bear to see them."

"The Zhenzhou Mansion leads the world to wander ghosts. It should suppress evil spirits, slaughter people and demons, resist disasters, and pacify evil spirits. The place of righteousness is ordered by heaven. I specially tell the world with this omen and issue this order. Please invite the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth to do this." Authentication: "

"Today, there are hungry ghosts in Guanzhou who are helping to promote evil spirits, committing minor offenses in Mingzhou, and disrespecting ghosts and gods. All people in Mingzhou, regardless of their origins, spirits, or deeds, can obey the order of the government to suppress evil spirits!"

"Anyone who offends a living person in Mingzhou will be killed!"

"Those who bully Mingzhou's ghosts will be killed!"

"Anyone who disturbs the elves of Mingzhou will be killed!"

"Anyone who steals Mingzhou's rice grain will be killed!"

"Those who break the rules, mess with yin and yang, and destroy Qi, kill! Kill! Kill!"

"The order starts from Mingzhou, and the time is fixed day and night. There is no sealing of magic, no prohibition of law. Yin and Yang can be disordered, and life and death have nothing to do with it. However, there are sins in the underworld. The person who leads the order is not remembered, only..."

"...The master of the family who suppresses evil spirits must be borne by one person!"

"..."

"..."

Accompanied by the gusts of sinister wind, the sound suddenly spread throughout all the villages and towns in Mingzhou. Suddenly, the air was full of ghosts, gathering together and covering the sun, moon and stars.

For a time, all the ghosts in the mountains and deserted tombs, behind the altars, in the villages and countryside, as well as the wild foxes in the deserted hills, and the spirits in the water and lakes heard it, and for a moment, they heard the sound of surprise and cheers, which resounded throughout the night, and they whined endlessly.

Whether it was Aunt Zhang who had also found a place and was serious about starting a career, or Grandma Qi who was sitting in a sedan chair looking for relatives and friends, they all heard the news, their expressions changed drastically, their lips trembled slightly, A smile spread across his pointed face.

And along with that evil wind, it blew throughout the entire Mingzhou, and even included the methods of Laoyin Mountain. The altars in various places were blended together, as if they were one body.

It is so majestic that it seems to have formed an altar based on the entire Mingzhou land. Its power is indescribable. Compared with it, Mingzhou City is only like a grain of rice in front of a millstone.

But in Zhumen Town, after Hu Ma finished saying these words, he stood up with a sneer and walked straight towards the golden mace that suppressed evil spirits: "Fighting with ghosts is so simple, isn't it?"

"If you build an altar, I will build a bigger one!"

"If you invite evil people, then I will invite someone more powerful than you!"

"You have been urging me to show up quickly, then... I will really show up and have a good talk with you!"
