MTL - Twilight Boundary

Chapter 438: Lobby Officer

Looking carefully, you can see that these people who escaped back are all merchants, and among them are also some local ruffians and thieves from various religions who have fled here to settle down.

There was a demon corpse in the town last night, and dozens of people died. Naturally, people were panicked, and many people were eager to escape.

Although everyone from Yiqian Sect rushed over and tried their best to comfort them, of course it was impossible to persuade everyone. Those who came with the big shots were fine, just like the people in the Sun family business. Although they were afraid, they still had to wait for Mr. Sun to make a move. Only if you dare to leave.

However, these were just a bunch of people who had gathered together, but they paid no attention to it. They still thought it was important to save their lives. When the genius just dawned, they had already packed their luggage and ran out of the town.

But these people were suddenly hit by another disaster. At this moment, they were kneeling on the street and crying: "We just left the town and followed the mountain road. Less than twenty miles away, we saw layers of layers in front of us. In the white fog, inside the fog, in broad daylight, I can hear ghosts crying."

"This movement is scary. We want to come back, but there are also some brave ones who think that there is a pond gray to protect them, so they want to break through. Unexpectedly, just this break-in will be troublesome. All their arms and legs will be lost." Come down..."

“We were afraid, so we came back quickly…”

　　　…”

　　　…”

Listening to their narration, everyone present looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on, and there was a faint suspicion in their hearts: "Is it because they were unlucky and encountered something evil in the mountains, or..."

Shima Town is in the mountains, and there is no problem with the Qian Sect's altar in this area. However, if it is twenty miles away from the town, it is not certain whether there will be any evil spirit that will cause harm to people. After all, there is no mixing of yin and yang in the mountains. Anywhere is safe during the day.

But just when they were about to ask more questions, they heard the sound of quarrels coming from the other end of the town.

Everyone hurriedly rushed to greet them, and saw a group of people covered in gourds of blood. They hurried back, crying and shouting. They just said to go to the other side, but they also encountered strange things blocking the road. People traveling with them Two have been eaten.

“People who left the town on both sides have encountered evil things. Isn’t that..."

 Everyone could not help but feel shocked when they heard these words. Even the leader of Yiqian Sect suddenly reacted and took a deep look at Bai Fan.

Bai Fan understood immediately, and quickly slipped out a copper whistle from his sleeve, held it in his mouth, and blew hard.

 The people around him didn’t hear any movement.

But this is a small gadget in the Jiamen Gate, and the people present cannot hear it, but those Fu Jiajun who were sent out can hear it, and will immediately report the current situation outside to the town.

If so many strange things happened outside the town, there would be a large number of Fu Jia soldiers, and it would be impossible for them to not notice it.

However, after the whistle had been blowing for a long time, the white fan climbed up to the roof and gently blew the wind into his ears with the fan. However, after waiting for a long time, his face gradually turned pale, as if he had not heard any movement from the Fu Jia Army.

 He jumped off the roof and slowly shook his head at the leader of Yiqian Cult, but he swallowed his words when they reached his lips. After all, so many people around him were watching.

The leader of the Yiqian Sect understood what he meant, and a layer of frost suddenly appeared on his face, and he even felt a little unbelievable in his heart...

Those talisman armies were all selected by the most loyal members of the Yiqian Sect. They were usually just members of the congregation, but when it came to matters, they were issued talisman armor and got guys, and they became soldiers, and everyone got the gods in the church. Blessed by him, he also has tools and tools to deal with evil spirits.

Even the skills have been carefully trained by the Shou Sui people. They are extremely skilled in handling, bows and arrows, and riding horses. No matter what happens, they can be conveyed and disappeared in time.

 But now, without anyone noticing, there was suddenly no movement?

This is simply unimaginably weird.

Seeing the reactions of Bai Fanzi and Yiqian Cult leader, people who were further away didn't know yet, but everyone nearby suddenly understood and looked at each other, and they could see the surprise and worry on each other's faces. .

 “It’s bad, Yiqianjiao is in big trouble...”

"The demon corpse was causing trouble last night, and there was something evil about it. Now I suddenly encountered such a weird thing. Could it be that someone was behind it, and it was also because of someone's manipulation that the demon corpse became so strange? Not easy to deal with?"

　　　…”

　　　…”

Seeing that the scene had fallen into a long silence, and the atmosphere became more and more uncomfortable, the leader of Yiqian Sect suddenly sneered: "Very good, this is easier to handle..."

It’s not that she didn’t know the evil nature of this matter, but she deliberately kept a nonchalant expression on her face and sneered: “This lantern festival we taught for only one penny was originally worried that it wouldn’t be lively enough, but now I see that there are actually good friends following me. Came over to watch the ceremony.”

“But it’s rude to come here to watch the ceremony without even saying hello, and yet you have the audacity to seal off our town…”

“Haha, don’t they know that this is the main altar of our Yiqian Sect, and the Dharma Protector is enshrined on the altar?”

"…" "Um?"

The white fan next to him was startled when he heard this. He was anxiously thinking about who should be sent to investigate, but even after thinking of several candidates, none of them were suitable.

Of course, the Dharma Kings couldn't do it, nor could the soldiers under their command, and of course I couldn't do it... After thinking about it, it was most appropriate to persuade a few people to go over there, but I didn't expect that the leader suddenly mentioned the altar. He went to the Dharma Protector and understood what she meant.

 It’s just this…

…suitable?

Before he could change his mind, he saw the leader of the Qian Cult, snorted coldly, and suddenly ordered: "Come here, quickly go and invite some Dharma Kings. We will open the altar in front of people, and ask the Dharma Protectors to come and help us get outside. Take a look."

“I would also like to know what kind of monster is so bold and dares to cause trouble in my Yiqian Sect’s main forum!”

　　　…”

Hold loudly, and immediately some congregants approached him and went over to deliver the order.

In a short time, the Dharma King, who was scattered in various locations in the town to appease the congregation and the people in the town, also received the news. He immediately felt that the situation was serious and hurriedly prepared.

The people who had gathered to discuss matters in the inn were about to disperse, but now they were panicking, so they all stayed here.

After a while, I heard a burst of gongs and drums deep in the town, and the sound of suonas rose high and hovered over the entire town. The people in the town also heard the movement and ran over to take a look. For a moment, they were like Extremely lively.

In the distance, you can see a field of colorful flowers. When the crowd parted, they saw Chi Jing, a strong man with an upper body, carrying several sedans. The Dharma King had all put on the strange clothes of an incense burner, holding incense in both hands. Follow the sedan chair.

On these sedan chairs, there are the Nine-Heaven Lotus Saint, the God of Great Fortune and Wealth, the God of Marriage, the God of Many Sons and Many Lives, and the God of Gambling, Lucky and Killing in Four Directions.

The people in the town, as well as countless merchants, saw the statue coming from a distance, and they all became extremely excited. They knelt down and kowtowed to the statue on the sedan, and threw a lot of copper coins on the sedan. Sprinkled over.

Everyone in the doorway also stayed slightly behind. In fact, they were a little embarrassed when they heard the names of the protector gods of this Qian sect, but the people believed it deeply.

Moreover, these names are not determined by a single religion.

It is said that these names are all passed down from the Bushi Niu family. It seems that some people in the Bushi Niu family specially choose such names, and they are very easy to use. As soon as the name is announced, it can attract countless incense.

The four sedan chairs were all carried to the middle. The statues of gods sitting on them, all clad in red and colorful, with compassionate eyebrows, were leaning against each other. They were sitting around the altar in the middle of the town, as if smiling and looking at the surroundings. The people kowtowed one after another.

In Yiqian Sect, a group of eight Dharma Kings led their disciples, dressed up, kowtowed to the gods they served, and then raised their arms and legs, and danced Nuo dance.

The chanting, dancing and dancing got faster and faster, and the gongs and drums around them became louder and louder. All the sounds were mixed together, like an invisible pressure, and even the people kowtowing around them did not dare to raise their heads. It's starting to happen.

But at a high place, the eight leading Dharma Kings suddenly stretched their arms into the air at the same time. All the gongs and drums were locked, and there was no sound at all. No one dared to say anything around, and it was quiet.

 The disciples next to him held trays and delivered the things to the Dharma King.

The Dharma Kings each took down the things on the tray, but some were a handful of paper money, which they sprinkled forward with force, some were a rooster, which they directly held in their hands and wiped the chicken's neck with a knife, and some were a short knife. , he stuck out his tongue and cut it.

 Various actions were taken together, and spells were cast in all directions of the town. In an instant, the wind started blowing around, and the smoke from the incense array burning on the altar flew straight into the woods in all directions of the town.

 “Hoo!”

But after only a few breaths of time, suddenly, a heavy dark wind swept back from the woods in all directions.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

The next moment, someone was horrified to see that the statues guarding the altar and on the sedan, whether they were wooden, paper-made, or clay sculptures, had large cracks one after another, and there was black blood flowing from the eye sockets. It came out and was immediately torn into pieces.

Something suddenly jumped out of the statue and huddled up. If you look closely, you can see that there are foxes, thorns, snakes, and deer, but they are all dead.

"This this…"

Everyone was frightened after catching a glimpse of this scene, and then they felt that dark clouds were gathering above their heads, even covering the sun, and a distant wind blew into the town.

Faintly, you can see a little ghost in a white robe floating in the dark wind. He is holding a decree in his hand and shouts leisurely in a high-pitched voice: "This is the decree from Tie Jun, the official of Xiling Dao Hall:"

"Today there is a rich man who confuses the people and gathers the crowd to rebel. The fools and reckless men do not distinguish between good and evil. They carry swords and heads according to the law. Within three days, they will enter the town and be punished. No man, woman, old or weak will be spared!"
