Twilight Boundary

"Master Dongxuan explored the secrets of heaven at night, and suddenly saw a group of swords and weapons coming from the southwest. He asked for information and ordered people to investigate. He learned that King Changsheng of Mengzhou was deceived by evil spirits and went straight to the capital under the name of exorcism."

"It has swallowed up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, plundered the land and seized food, and its momentum is great. The evil spirits and ghosts have changed their appearance and hidden in the army. They can reach the enemy in three days with their weapons and magic."

"Master sent me here to urgently invite the head of the Hu family to discuss important matters."

Hu Ma just returned to the old house and saw a little Taoist boy riding a horse and shouting in a hurry. He sneered when he heard it: "I just went to find him, but he refused to see me. Now he is back and is anxious to discuss important matters with me?"

Turning his head around, he saw that there were still countless people gathered in front and behind the old house. When they saw Hu Ma, whether it was the second ancestor of the Qingyuan Hu family or the eldest uncle of the mother's family, Mr. Ren, they all hurried forward and said: " How about the matter of going to the bridge before? "

"Even if it is not so convenient for the time being, we should also determine our identity as ghosts or evil spirits."

"If the name is not right, the words will not flow. If we delay the time like this, I am afraid that we will be expelled from Shangjing when the Dharma Assembly is held!"

"..."

Hu Ma originally didn't care about their nervousness and anxiety, but after seeing the weird Shangjing City now, he guessed their thoughts and sneered: "Who will expel you? Why are you so anxious to stay in Shangjing City?"

The second grandfather of Qingyuan and the eldest master of the Ren family were a little embarrassed and said: "After all, the destiny has appeared and the world is in chaos. If the war breaks out, I am afraid that only Shangjing City can hide."

"And now, the population in Shangjing City is getting larger and larger. If you are not a person with a name, it is inconvenient to stay before the Dharma Assembly begins..."

Their words caused countless people around to nod their heads.

Hu Ma understood their thoughts and was no longer as anxious as before.

The Hu family of Qingyuan now wants to move to Shangjing City, but they have no identity and no house in Shangjing City. Now they can only stay in an inn.

As for their own maternal family, Shangjing Ren Family, they have no power and influence. When Hu's mother abandoned the Hu family and left, there would still be many people in this world who would care about it. This behavior is almost the same as not splitting up the family, and it is also equivalent to being unprotected.

Looking at other people, they all have the same idea and are trying their best to occupy a place in Shangjing City.

Whether there is a house in the capital or not represents whether there is a foothold in the capital, and whether there is a relationship with the Hu family represents whether there is an identity in the capital.

This is why they are trying to squeeze into the current Hu family or come here as a ghost.

The embarrassment of their identity has reached an extremely subtle level. As long as Hu Ma nods, they will rise to become a family of ten surnames. In Shangjing City, they can have as big a house as they want.

But if Hu Ma just shook his head, they would become rootless people, and they might be driven out of Shangjing City at any time, and fend for themselves.

"Don't worry, elders."

Hu Ma saw the key point, so he just smiled and said, "What other families have, the Hu family will naturally have, and what other families don't have, the relatives of the Hu family may also have."

Everyone was very happy to hear this, and they were more anxious to say something, when will the dozens of people in this family and the hundreds of people in that family move in...

Hu Ma ignored them and just asked them to find Miao Shan to talk, and he followed the Taoist boy out. The other party picked up a lantern, breaking the gray atmosphere in the city, and actually came directly to the ancestral temple. From a distance, they saw that the national teacher had set up an incense table behind the ancestral temple.

"Perhaps knowing that this Dharma Assembly will threaten them, those reincarnated people can no longer sit still."

Hearing the footsteps of Hu Ma, the national teacher did not turn back, but sighed softly: "130,000 elite soldiers are approaching, and the evil soldiers and demons are accompanying them. There are countless masters of the bridge hiding in the dark, calling the wind and rain. Once the King of Changsheng comes, I am afraid that the swords will be raised."

"I don't even know how this fierce battle will end. I am afraid that this ancient city will be difficult to preserve..."

"..."

Hu Ma listened to his words and laughed: "The world is in chaos, and people are almost dead. There is no need to feel sorry for these few broken stones."

"Hehe..."

The national teacher listened to his words and laughed: "It's more than just a city?"

"The evil spirits are insidious, confusing people's minds, stealing the world, I am afraid that this world will no longer exist."

"..."

Listening to his words, Hu Ma's eyes were sarcastic, but his expression was actually He nodded in agreement and sighed, "Indeed, the more the world despises the people, the more they despise the people. On this journey back to Beijing, I have only seen people displaced, suffering from plague and hunger, and dying like weeds."

"Although I feel sorry for them, I have no other choice. I came back this time to ask the national teacher, how do you want to save the people of this world with your wisdom and far-reaching strategies?"

After hearing what he said, the national teacher turned his head slightly and smiled at Hu Ma, "Mr. Hu, are you really willing to believe me?"

"I believe, of course I believe."

Hu Ma smiled and said, "In fact, I don't think those evil spirits are really evil spirits. After all, no matter what their origins are, a kind heart is good."

"Just look at the ghosts in the world. As long as they are willing to protect the wind and rain of a place with the incense of the people, they can also build temples and confer gods. And those reincarnated people use purple air as incense, which is no different from the creatures in this temple. This is my attitude towards them, and it will not change."

"But, just like those who receive incense but do not do anything, they should destroy the mountains and temples and cut off the golden bodies. Although I am familiar with these reincarnated people and many of them are my close friends, there must be right and wrong in major events."

"So, if the national teacher knows anything and has any plan to save the world, just tell me."

"If it makes sense, I dare not disobey."

"..."

"There is a plan to save the world."

The national teacher couldn't help laughing at Hu Ma's frankness and said, "Twenty-three years ago, I had already decided on this plan to save the world in Shiting with the most knowledgeable and capable colleagues in the world, which is also known as the Shiting Alliance by outsiders."

"This time, I invited Mr. Hu to come here, just to let you inherit the Hu family's first "The will of the deceased."

"I wonder if Mr. Hu is ready?"

"..."

Hu Ma smiled and nodded, saying: "I came back to Beijing this time to ask about these things."

The national teacher nodded gently, stood up and said to the Taoist boy beside him: "Go and tell the masters in charge that I need four days to prepare for this ceremony, but those evil spirits will arrive in three days."

"Ask them to stop the evil spirit army and protect Shangjing City. When I have arranged the ceremony, I will catch them all in one fell swoop."

The Taoist boy took the order and took Hu Ma to the back of the ancestral temple. He saw that the place was paved with black stone slabs everywhere. At the end of the stone slabs, there was a square incense burner, but there was only a long purple incense stick as thick as a baby's arm.

Looking at the incense burner, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel a little moved. The style of this incense burner was very similar to the incense burner in his own natal temple.

The national teacher bowed before the incense burner and sighed, "This is the incense burner passed down by our Daluo Fajiao. There is an ancestral altar in the world that can suppress the three disasters and eight difficulties and gather incense from the world."

"There is also the Daluo Fajiao, which has been passed down from witches. Generations have only been used to observe the fortune of the world and avoid evil spirits. When Du Yi summoned Tai Sui, it was a strange omen of this incense. Unfortunately, when the Daluo Fajiao went down the mountain, it was too late."

Hu Ma looked at the incense in the burner, which had burned most of it, leaving less than one-third, and his heart was slightly moved.

If it is understood that this burner is like the life incense of the reincarnated, does it mean that this represents the fate of the world, which is only three points left?

While thinking in his heart, the national teacher bowed, and the incense on the incense suddenly floated out and floated beside him, like clouds. Hu Ma smelled the strong smell of incense in his nose, and felt that the world was changing. In the dimness, he didn't know where he was.

He is now a nine-pillar Taoist, standing on the ground, unmoved, but his soul is sensitive and has its own senses.

He only felt the incense floating in the air, and in a breath, he saw the world.

He saw people wearing animal skins, praying in the ice and snow, saw the fierce soldiers entering the pass and killing people wantonly, and saw all kinds of acts of massacring cities and exterminating families.

He saw countless human flesh and blood, all sacrificed to the huge shadow above his head, and saw the seemingly endless black shadow, dark and heavy, with the bloody smell of the world added to the weight, covering the world.

In another blink of an eye, he saw the gray-robed old man coming down the mountain, paying homage to the emperor, receiving the emperor's order, offering sacrifices to the sky and asking questions, and saw the old man's face change drastically, crying with his sleeves hanging down, and saw thirty-six tribes of strange people going to the corners of the world, guarding the ghost cave, and leading souls into the palace...

The endless wronged souls were all sacrificed to some shadow deep in the cave, as if feeding a monster that could never be full.

He saw the endless black shadows, trying every possible way to get in from outside the world.

He saw that the destiny of the sky had changed, the underworld was in chaos, and countless hideous and terrifying things had spawned, and even a familiar shadow, just like the ancestor of the Meng family.

They were ferocious and gloomy, and tried every possible way to get into the human world little by little, but, no matter what, they were still a little short of it.

"Is this the disaster of the Duyi sacrifice?"

Hu Ma had already vaguely understood the origins of these disasters in all aspects.

Now, with a thought, he understood that what he saw was the origin of the disaster back then, as well as the various changes that had arisen afterwards. The Guanshixiang of the Daluo Fajiao recorded all these disasters and reflected all of this in his mind.

"That black shadow is Tai Sui?"

Although he only vaguely glimpsed the shadow of the strange thing through the Guanshixiang, Hu Ma's mood was already fluctuating.

At first glance, he felt that the thing was endless and bloated. He couldn't see its edge clearly, nor could he describe the appearance of the thing with his own words and understanding ability.

He only borrowed Guanshixiang to see the thing, otherwise, he would have gone crazy just by looking at it.

But the thing was still blocked outside the sky, and only endless roots were desperately infiltrating in. The terrifying thing like the ancestor of the Meng family was just a root on it.

They were huge, but they were blocked outside.
