Twilight Boundary

"The road is at your feet and the enemy is ahead, so what else is there to worry about?"

Under Hu Ma's gaze, the letter sent by Houerjiu and Tieguanyin's high-five seemed to make the pressure in the hall disappear slightly. However, even so, no one in the room raised a loud voice immediately. Echoing or something.

It's just that the solemn night outside the hall is a little lighter. It seems that many people hiding in the night have quietly disappeared. They still need to verify and will not decide so quickly.

Even Erguotou and Miss Baijiu need to sort out their thoughts.

There is no need to burn the sweet potatoes.

"I brought back the message from twenty years ago and handed over the mission, and my shoulders felt lighter."

Tie Guanyin also stood up, slowly exhaled a wisp of incense smoke from his mouth, and said to Hu Ma: "In your house, arrange a quiet room for me. I need to have a good rest and see if I can recover from my past." How much can you get back?"

"good."

Hu Ma stood up in front and asked the old housekeeper to lead the way. He packed up a room on the north side of the Hu family's old house, set up an offering table in this room, and burned incense. Before Tie Guanyin walked into the quiet room, He stopped and didn't look back, he just said:

"Let the Twelve Ghost Altar stay in Shangjing for now. I need the Twelve Ghost Altar to block me. I will also take this opportunity to help you watch the ghost altar. Other reincarnated people want to take a few more steps on the bridge, so they will need this." ”

"Also, I know you have met Longjing, so have you heard any comments from him about the ten surnames today?"

Hu Ma nodded and said: "Mr. Longjing thought that the ten surnames used to be nothing, but now after more than twenty years of recuperation, they can no longer be underestimated."

"That's it."

Tie Guanyin sighed and said, "I believe in Longjing's judgment."

"The smart guy outside has decided on a battle of wits with the ten surnames. This is good, but a battle of wits can only be won by true skill. Only by being upright can people be convinced. Conspiracies and tricks will not work."

"You are the successor of Lao Junmei, so I won't deceive you with what I say to outsiders. The road is indeed this way, but the Luotian Festival is difficult to organize. It requires one sacrifice and five towns."

"One of these sacrifices is you."

"You bear the burden of heaven and earth, and bear the will of all people. I think you were already mentally prepared when you understood Lao Junmei's method."

"But these five kinds of town objects need to be refined by you. You can't make any mistakes, especially the treasure seal in your hand. This is the first town. Therefore, you must take the fourth word on the seal. If you don’t get it, everything will be in vain.”

"..."

"I understand."

Hu Ma nodded and said: "But now that the Luotian Festival has been decided, what are the five specific types of town objects?"

After all, he is still half a ghost. He understands that five anchors are needed to set up the altar, but when it comes to the Luotian Festival, which is almost only in his imagination, he is a little cautious about what level of anchors should be used.

Tieguanyin said directly: "Precious seal, weight, longevity fruit, general's order, emperor's skin."

Hu Ma said: "They are all in the hands of the ten surnames?"

"The vast majority."

Tie Guanyin smiled and said: "We couldn't calculate to what stage the Ten Surnames would grow to in these twenty years, but the expansion of the Ten Surnames was expected, and things were left in their hands. It will be much more convenient when you get it back.”

"Of course, you have to rely on your true ability to get it back."

Looking at her confident and proud face, Hu Ma also nodded deeply, and suddenly said: "The reincarnations of the previous generation have indeed left us a domineering but feasible path."

"But, have you really told them everything? Or are you still hiding some things from them?"

"..."

In response to Hu Ma's inquiry, the expression on Tie Guanyin's face suddenly became a little playful. She smiled and said, "It's not just me, but you too?"

Hu Ma acquiesced and did not answer.

"They need time to verify and make a decision, but as the officiant, you don't have much time."

The smile on Tie Guanyin's face slowly faded, and he said seriously: "I know what will happen to Lao Junmei's method now that it has been cultivated to the extreme. Therefore, the real bet is not only on the reincarnation, but on you."

"There is a painting left in the Taoist tradition of not eating cows. It should be in your hands now, right?"

"Now that the historical process is back on track, it is time for the title of Great Sage Teacher, which has disappeared for twenty years, to be reborn."

"After seven days, I will call all the reincarnated people. In my capacity, I will tell them all these things and the fate of the reincarnated people. But at that time, it depends on how many people you can convince to help you. It’s up to you.”

"The number of reincarnated people may be more than you think, and many people are hidden deeper than you think. The reincarnated people have never been a rigorous organization, just a group of people."

"There are good and bad, kindness and darkness, selfishness and generosity. Normally when people are in a foreign land, they may be willing to release some kindness, but when life is at stake..."

"Perhaps some people would rather close the door and sleep without paying attention to the raging flood outside!"

"..."

Hu Ma knew what Tie Guanyin was referring to, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm ready."

When he took over the identity of the leader of the Immortal Cow Cult, the painting also remained in his hand. It was an opportunity to use the name of the Great Sage Master to call all the reincarnated people.

As someone who once used the title of Great Sage, Tieguanyin actually had a reason to take the painting back from her, but she only chose to remind herself, and her purpose was self-evident.

She agreed to use the title of Great Sage to call all reincarnated people.

But this is indeed a big deal...

It also requires a good time.

Tieguanyin walked straight into the quiet room, and Hu Ma closed the door for her outside. Her heart was clear and her steps were firm.

When she returned to the hall, the sweet potato cake was already covered with oil, the white wine lady had left, and Erguotou had been waiting for Hu Ma here.

Seeing him coming, he immediately stood up and said, "That crazy monkey is straightforward. He made an appointment with the ten surnames to fight directly. But the ten surnames are all capable. It's easy for us to shout slogans, but if we really face the ten surnames, how confident can we be?"

"We were not in a hurry when we didn't have a way before, but now we have a way, so what are we worried about?"

Hu Ma smiled at him and said, "The law of ghosts is in you, and the law of negative spirits is in me. Noble Zhang has been abolished, and the Wang family has become a dog in the water. Now there are only six families left of the ten surnames."

"And Mr. Houerjiu wrote clearly in the letter that he has reserved the Guanshan Zhu family. He only needs us to help a little at the critical moment. In this way, there are only five families left. What's the difficulty?"

"When did the ten surnames become such a despised existence?"

Erguotou couldn't help but sigh slowly. Not only was the crazy monkey full of confidence, as if the Guanshan Zhu family could be easily taken down, but even the little brother in front of him was so arrogant.

Helpless, he sighed: "Then, where should we start?"

"Send the grain protection army back to Mingzhou."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Since history has returned to the normal process, the new emperor should also come out."

"As for which family to start with..."

"The grain protection army wants to leave Mingzhou and seize the world, who will be the first opponent?"

"..."

Er Guotou didn't pay attention to these, frowning and thinking, the sweet potato roast next to him was already holding up the chicken wings and shouted: "I know, I know, the one in the west of Mingzhou is the Aquarius King, and the counselor beside him is the Fenxiang of the Wuchang Li family. Hall official, the old guy has chased me. "

"There is also the King of Jingping in the northwest, the King of Sanhu in the southeast..."

"Hiss..."

Hu Ma and Er Guo Tou didn't know what to say for a moment, shook their heads, and just smiled at Di Gu Shao: "So, who do you want to find first?"

Said and done, the reincarnated still need to think and struggle, but Hu Ma can't waste time any more. Overnight, he has arranged things in Shangjing City. In fact, it is also simple, just leaving Miao Shan Fairy here, and let her serve Tie Guanyin.

After all, in terms of seniority, Tie Guanyin is still her aunt. Maybe when Miao Shan Fairy was young, Tie Guanyin also met her, just to help Miao Shan avoid karma, and then deliberately alienated.

Of course, there is another reason for leaving Miao Shan Fairy here, that is, Dou Guan is too reassuring to do things.

As for Hu Ma, he went to burn incense to his mother-in-law, and then decided to set off the next day.

Originally, the ancestral temples of the ten surnames had all left Beijing, and the incense of the mother-in-law could be invited back to Dayang Village, but Hu Ma understood the words of the old man guarding the ancestral temple, so he was not in a hurry to invite him.

Anyway, he could carry the twelve ghost altars, and if the incense was left here, the Hu family would not be suppressed, and they could steal the emperor's life for two more days.

When he left the city on the second day, he saw that the huge and bloated flesh and blood were still outside the city, and the disaster flames were rising inside, intermingling with each other. The disaster flames were not extinguished, and the flesh and blood withered and burned piece by piece, but most of them remained in their original state.

Disaster flames are for people, not ordinary fire, and this Tai Sui body has some characteristics of living people, so it will be burned by disaster fire, but it is not quite suitable, so it burns very slowly.

And the flesh and blood that fell from it is the best blood food, or blood Tai Sui.

Now the amount is really hard to describe. Although things falling from the sky can't help but make people feel fear and awe, there must be ambitious and greedy people who have long set their eyes on this huge blood food.

Hu Ma saw that some people in Shangjing City who suffered disasters and those who were hungry around had already gathered around. They just hid far away on the first day, but some people approached on the second day. Now it is the fourth day, and some people have tried to harvest.

It is precisely because of the existence of this disaster flame that they dare not get too close.

Hu Ma came closer and took a look at the weak flame. It looked similar to ordinary fire, but when it got close, it felt a frightening heat.

He thought about it, pulled the disaster bag on his waist, and looked at the disaster snake inside.

This little thing was very crazy before, just following him, but didn't take him seriously, but before he wanted to get out to deal with the national teacher, he suffered a big loss, now it seems much more honest, and even looks a little wilted.

Hu Ma then carefully touched its head and said, "Although I don't know how to steal disasters, since you followed me and came out of the cave, I think you can solve the fire here now?"

The disaster snake spit out condolences, and its black eyes looked not so smart.

Hu Ma took a look at the huge meat mountain, suddenly threw the black disaster bag into the air, and the disaster snake in his hand slipped into the meat mountain.

In an instant, the sky became dark, and the disaster wind blew all around.

And the disaster snake also felt the same, and quickly flowed through the meat mountain. The disaster flames gathered around it like water.

The people holding sickles and carrying bags were already worried about the huge flesh and blood. Now, when they saw the cold wind blowing around, they were also afraid. While retreating, they saw the sesame standing in front of the meat mountain.

Seeing that he just raised his hand, the black wind blew around, and the flames between the meat mountains were quickly converging. They immediately shouted excitedly: "Someone is here to put out the fire..."

Amid the cheers, they looked at each other, and finally couldn't hold back. They rushed up, waved their sickles, and scrambled to harvest the red flesh and blood.

"Tai Sui is an indescribable thing from the outside world, and Xue Shi is its body that has squeezed into the human world."

When Hu Ma saw this seemingly crazy and even spectacular scene, he thought of the Xue Shi Mine and the old miners like Er Ye who had been cutting blood for a lifetime. He suddenly seemed to have some enlightenment:

"Maybe one day, Tai Sui consciousness will come, and these flesh and blood will become a nightmare for the human world, devouring the whole world."

"But before this moment, there is no Tai Sui, it's just food."

"If the common people dare to eat this thing, then why should we, who have learned skills, be afraid of becoming like this?"

"..."

Thinking of this, he felt a little excited. Hearing a rustling sound, he opened the black disaster bag again. He saw that the disaster snake had swam back from the meat mountain, with dark red scales like blood flames all over its body. It was shaking its head and looked much more energetic.

Hu Ma looked at this scene, sighed, walked forward, cut off a piece of red Tai Sui with the punishment officer's knife, slowly put it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it.

"Taisui eats people, people eat Tai Sui, who is worse than who?"

"..."

Hu Ma also said to Er Guotou next to him: "Since the grain protection army is here, it is not good to go back empty-handed. Such a big meat mountain must be hundreds of thousands of kilograms of blood food. Even if those that are burned are removed, the remaining amount is quite considerable."

"Let someone do it, cut them all, and take them back as military rations!"

"..."

After hearing this, Er Guotou hurriedly gave orders, but the sweet potato burnt next to him didn't need to be told, and went up with a sack.

She even didn't understand that Lao Baigan and Er Guotou had only lived a few days of wealth, and they were still talking and pretending to be here while guarding such a blood food mine.

Didn't you see that the common people had already gone up?

Blood Tai Sui is such a valuable thing. Now that you are cutting it, what difference is there between that and falling into a pile of money?

In one day, this huge mountain of meat was cut, leaving only some burnt flesh and blood in the field, reminding everyone what kind of horrible thing had been born here, and Hu Ma and others also led the troops to set off.

This trip back was more troublesome than the time when we came here.

At the beginning, the grain-protecting army was brought here by Erguotou's spell, but now the grain-protecting army is because of the purple air, and the weight is heavy, it is difficult to cast a spell on them.

In addition, now everyone is carrying blood food, it is even more difficult to cast a spell, so they can only open the battle and go straight from Shangjing to Mingzhou. Fortunately, the soldiers are strong and no one dares to provoke them, but it is also a good opportunity to take a look at this world.

Unknowingly, from coming to Shangjing after the New Year, and now returning after a battle, more than a month has passed, the sky is getting warmer, and spring is born.

Because of this fight, Hu Ma drove away the purple air in Shangjing City and returned it to the world, nourishing the earth. The spring rain was abundant and everything was sprouting. Perhaps it would usher in a good season and a good year.

It was also before this chaos that the people of the world took a breath, and then they would usher in a bigger one.

Along the way, Mingzhou was approaching, and it was about to return home. Hu Ma also calculated the time. On the seventh day, at the time agreed with Tieguanyin, he took out the painting from Bu Shi Niu and came to the ancient and dilapidated Benming Ling Temple again.

That night, Tieguanyin's voice sounded as promised:

"I am Tieguanyin, a reincarnated person. I believe you all know the news I brought back from 20 years ago."

"It's time to wake up. We are not time travelers, nor do we have a sense of superiority. We are the protagonists of this world. We are just the dregs left behind by Tai Sui's swallowing. We are the ghosts around Tai Sui and prisoners who cannot escape."

"But we are also the afterglow of the civilization of the previous life. We are here to represent all the appearances of the hometown we miss so much."

"In our hometown, we each have our own identities. We may not be outstanding or successful, but here, we are the only remaining glory, and we are the last blood and energy of our hometown..."

"..."

"..."

In fact, before this, the secret she announced in Shangjing City had spread all over the world. Many reincarnated people must have known about it. Now it is just a formal announcement through the natal temple.

Since she appeared in Shangjing seven days ago, the group of reincarnated people has been in a strange state of depression, and even lost the chaotic atmosphere of the past.

In reality, no one knows how many people have been self-doubted, even split and despaired by this news.

Her voice now has a more solemn and serious meaning, but the gray decadence and despair are still lingering. After she finished speaking, she still didn't hear anyone's answer for a long time.

It was only at this time that Hu Ma slowly inserted the half of the incense into the incense burner. She avoided all her thoughts along the way, then placed her palm on the incense burner, straightened her waist, and spoke slowly:

"Everyone from the other world, here are the residents of this world, the successor of Lao Junmei, the reincarnation of a generation, the fourth generation chief priest of Daluo Dharma Sect, Hu Ma, the descendant of the Zhenchou Hu family, codenamed Lao Baigan, calling out to the reincarnations in the world..."

"Two hundred and forty years ago, when Tai Sui came and the world was in chaos, Daluo Dharma Sect prayed to heaven and asked you to come and save all the people of our world from water and fire."

"I once received a gift from the old man from another life and learned the principles of your world."

"Therefore, although I know the horror of Tai Sui, I still believe that although we are weak in this world, there are still billions of living people. Although we are stupid, we are also bold and unyielding."

"They dare to cut their flesh with a knife, and I will not hesitate to throw away my flesh and blood. I am willing to be a pawn in the world's people's favor, with a knife in my hand."

"..."

The voice spoke slowly, and Hu Ma also stopped slightly, as if there was invisible energy and blood surging in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he mustered up his mind and spoke again: "In Mingzhou, in the name of this world's great sage and mentor, I will change the world, compete for destiny, and finally face Tai Sui..."

"This is a difficult and dangerous time, but I am confident that everything will be cleared up in the end, and a bright future will be restored to my world. But at this time, I need your help, and I believe you will lend a helping hand, because we believe in the same truth... …”

After a slight pause, he finally said the two most sacred words in the gift given by Lao Junmei:

"...Comrade!"
