MTL - Twilight Boundary

Chapter 439: Run quickly

"The situation is really serious..."

Slowly exhaling, Hu Ma did not blame Xiao Hongtang for waking him up suddenly, but silently sorted out the information he had just received in his mind, but there was a vague invisible pressure:

“The Great Festival in Beijing, the first cleansing, it seems that it is not as simple as I thought.”

"On the surface, it seems that the great purge was just the reincarnations of the previous generation who were too showy and caused trouble, and also scared the other reincarnations into being more honest. But now, it seems that they are competing with the reincarnations for destiny, killing Tai Sui's Target-related…”

“It’s just that for such an important goal and such an opportunity gained at such a high price, why is there such a serious information gap? Even I heard about it from Tiger King?”

　　　…”

If you just don't know, that's actually reasonable. After all, I'm just a newcomer and have only been here for less than three years. So far, I have only seen more than ten reincarnations.

However, it is a bit strange that reincarnations with senior qualifications such as Miss White Wine and Miss Red Wine are completely unaware of them.

Especially for an old man like Erguotou, he has dealt with the reincarnations of the previous generation...

　　…If nothing else, if he knew that the matter was so urgent, he would definitely not be able to hide and play leisurely and cultivate himself. He would also say that life and enjoyment are the most important things for reincarnated people in this life.

Then things are a little scary.

The more I thought about it, the heavier I felt in my heart, and I felt vaguely panicked. I quickly made a decision: "This matter cannot be delayed. It is not even something I can handle alone."

“I have to go back to Mingzhou as soon as possible to have a good chat with Miss Baijiu and Brother Erguotou about these matters.”

“Perhaps, this is really a major event that affects the life and death of the reincarnated person...”

　　　…”

While he was thinking about this quickly in his mind, he suddenly felt a mysterious trembling, and vaguely seemed to hear some weird sound of panic and crying, and his whole body suddenly woke up from his deep thoughts. Come over.

Looking outside the house, I saw that even the big tree covering the entire yard was making noises, as if trembling, and the branches on the tree were falling down one after another without knowing what impact they had.

"What happened?"

Hu Ma frowned and raised his head, and saw Xiao Hongtang also lying on the window, staring outside, clenching his two little fists tightly, and said: "There are bad guys outside!"

"Um?"

Hu Ma felt that something had just happened in the town, but Xiao Hongtang's behavior made him a little strange: "Xiao Hongtang is kind-hearted by nature. Apart from eating some blood food and beating up little devils, there is nothing else." Damn it, why do you say there are bad guys outside?"

She rarely uses such strong emotional words. Is it because there are things out there that she hates?

Just when he was doubting, he suddenly heard the nervous voice of Lao Baanpan coming from behind the wall where he was: "Little steward, little steward, are you right here?"

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and recognized that Old Abacus's voice was coming from the back of the house. There was a small window at the back of the house, so he dragged an imperial chair over, stood on it, and opened the small window to look out. Look.

Sure enough, I saw that in the stone alley behind the mansion, the old abacus was holding a compass in his hand and leading a donkey. Next to him was the listless Ma Ye, who was stretching his head to search and shouting softly.

He said, "Why are you here?"

 Lao Abacus was startled. When he looked up, he saw the numb face behind the small window. He immediately panicked: "Oh, what's wrong with you?"

“The leader of the Yiqian Sect has detained you here?”

　　　…”

 “It’s not a buckle either…”

Hu Ma said: "She locked me in the room and I just happened to learn something. What happened just now?"

 “She locked you up?”

 Lao Abacus was stunned for a moment and said: "Looking at the stoic look on this little goddess's face, it turns out that she likes a pretty guy like you... No, this is not the right time to discuss this. Don't ask, let's run."

"run?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised: "Have you caused trouble for others?"

"What kind of trouble can I cause? The most I can do is give her two blood pills to replenish her health..."

 Lao Baanpan said anxiously: "They are the ones who caused the trouble. You see, I told you before. This money cult is so arrogant that it will cause trouble sooner or later, isn't it now?"

“Tie Junxin, the knife-catching officer in Xiling, has brought his own people to destroy them. He has sealed the town and will attack directly within three days.”

“If we don’t run away, I’m afraid we won’t have a chance to run away…”

　　　…”

"Xiling Hall Officer?" Hu Ma was shocked when he heard the name. Why did he provoke the Hall Officer?

I have been in this world for so long, but I have never seen the legendary lobby officer!

 For a moment, I felt that it was unexpected and surprised at the same time.

As expected, there is no emperor above, and the officials in various places are keeping a low profile as much as possible, hiding themselves, doing their own affairs, and waiting for the opportunity. However, there has never been chaos in the world, because the ten surnames are suppressing the chaos in various places.

I went to Anzhou earlier and encountered a bandit den on the road. They were killed because they were too noisy. However, this money sect openly expelled the government, collected taxes and grain, and built soldiers and armor, which was comparable to that bandit den. Even more powerful, it was only a matter of time before he attracted the lobby officials.

What is surprising is that signs of rebellion are now appearing in various places. The momentum of Yiqianjiao's idea is not enough to attract the lobby officials, right?

The officials in the main hall are not easy to get along with. The ten surnames secretly maintain order in the world. In fact, the more important thing is to control the people in this sect, and their support is to ask questions and reason in the four main halls. Officials are like the four protectors.

Under the four main hall officials, there are countless small hall officials, and under the small hall officials, there are countless deacons running errands. To put it bluntly, these deacons running errands are really used to do work.

Just like Mingzhou Prefecture, the Red Lantern Empress is the dominant one in the clear sense, but in fact, Plum Blossom Alley is the most capable, but even Meihua Alley is just a small official who is in charge of Mingzhou Prefecture. enough.

 But now, the one attracted by Yiqian Sect is actually a lobby official? Moreover, is it a knife that specializes in killing people?

 While thinking about this, I also considered the question of whether to leave or not.

Humah would of course have made the decision without hesitation before looking at this painting. After all, he was just seeking the Dharma and had no intention of following the Yiqian Cult to rebel, but now he felt a little hesitant in his heart.

Not eating cows is a great sage, or in other words, it is the legacy left by the reincarnations of the previous generation who acted in the name of the great sage. There must be many secrets that are very important to the reincarnations. This clue cannot Give up easily.

After listening to what Da Hong Pao told him, the most important thing was how to get more information from Wu Shi Niu.

While thinking about it, he asked: "How far is it now? The other party has sealed off the town?"

 “Then how are you going to leave?”

　　　…”

 “You carry me...”

Old Abacus was so anxious that he pressed his face against the wall and said: "The seal outside is very strong. Those who tried to escape suffered heavy casualties. I guess only you watchers can run fast. If you run like a girl, there is still a chance." vitality…"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Hearing this, Hu Ma almost laughed out of anger. She shook her head and said, "I'm not very capable. It's hard for me to run by myself. It's going to be really hard for me to carry you on my back..."

 “Ah yo…”

 Lao Abacus was so frightened that he lost his voice and said, "Don't be so unloyal, little steward, and run away by yourself..."

Hu Ma took a long breath and said: "Then you don't have to panic, aren't there still three days left? I was just learning something. I will wait until I go to see the leader of Yiqian Sect and ask about the matter clearly. Intend."

With that said, he jumped down from the Taishi chair, turned around and walked towards the door. Just as he was about to open the door, he was slightly startled and looked at the painting on the wall. Dahongpao's instructions to him flashed in his mind. , he said that he wanted to give himself some token...

 But he had just been woken up by a basin of water from Xiao Hongtang, and he didn't have time to see what tokens were in the natal temple. If it was really important, I might have to go to the temple again.

 That being the case…

He made a decision in his heart, walked back, and reached out to grab the painting. At this moment, his mood was a little subtle, as if taking the painting was equivalent to accepting some of the karma left by the reincarnation of the previous generation.

But in his anxiety, he had no time to be pretentious, so he reached out directly, took down the painting, rolled it up gently, and stuffed it into Xiao Hongtang's basket.

There was a subtle change that occurred the moment he took off the painting. In Hu Ma's case, it was not obvious. He just picked up the painting and did not feel anything else.

But in this world, there are many other places, some are in a thatched cottage in the countryside, some are in high halls and courtyards in the city, some are in warehouses filled with soldiers and armor, and some are in graveyards where grass has grown, sleeping. A coffin of bones.

Many of the same paintings were left in these places and were in the hands of different people. Some of them had not seen the light of day for a long time, but at this moment, they all suddenly had a spiritual light, which also instantly shocked many disciples who did not eat cows.

 …

 …

 “Put it away, this painting is very important.”

Hu Ma warned Xiao Hongtang and covered the cloth on the basket for her. Then she took a deep breath and kicked the locked door open.

"Hey, why are you going to see that girl? Run away..."

The old abacus at the back of the house listened to Hu Ma's footsteps getting farther and farther away from the wall, and shouted anxiously: "If we don't run away, I'm afraid we will be regarded as rebels. It doesn't matter if you and I are unlucky. You can't bring trouble to our honest red light lady..."

 Hunted but Hu Ma ignored him, he could only stamp his feet angrily, looked at the horse with some embarrassment, and said: "He doesn't listen to advice, you see..."

The horse took a deep breath and ignored him. It just looked at the gloomy sky with an intoxicated look on its face.

 Old Abacus suddenly became anxious: Why are these two people so difficult to serve?
