Twilight Boundary

Chapter 461: The Eight Declining Gods

 “How brave…”

The worries of those in the doorways in the town are indeed emerging. When the life in Shima Town is boiling and attracting attention, the young master in Tsing Yi and the Tie Jun lobby officer are also waiting patiently.

Time passed by, and they were waiting for the time to arrive, but looking at the movements in the town, a faint sneer appeared on their faces: "People have three souls, cause and effect, corpse guarding, and reincarnation. There is also luck in this world. , Fuze, the three foundations of destiny.”

"Mortals can only be determined by heaven. If you dare to get involved, you will be punished by heaven."

“This money is used to cultivate evil things and gather blessings, which is already harmful to the world. If we hadn’t happened to come here, this blessing would have passed, and I am afraid that they really raised some luck..."

　　　…”

The Tiejun lobby official didn't seem to be very interested in the happenings in the town. After listening to his words, he only lowered his eyes and said lightly: "We have no other skills in Shousui Sect, so we won't go there." Calculate this vague number, just wait for the time to come and go over to do errands. "

"Whether they are holding this lantern festival, deceiving this stupid man or woman, or even making a sword to rebel, they can kill them with a swing of their sword, and they will be clean."

　　　…”

They were full of hope, just to kneel down and pray for a few drops of nectar to be sprinkled on their heads. They hoped that from this moment on, their fate would be open, but they never thought that they would be blown by this faint wind first. body.

“Some things that need to be done don’t have to wait until you enter the town!”

In the streets, the people waiting for blessings from the altar all have their own miseries, but they are not the same. Some are sick and come to pray for blessings and cure their illnesses. Some have a miserable fate and have no way to survive. They come to pray for the gods to cut off their misery. Because I don’t have enough to eat all year round, I wanted to come over and have a full meal.

With Shima Town as the center, strange altars have been set up in eight directions in the barren mountains and wilderness. The maids and servants in green clothes each held a tablet and knelt straight in the direction of Shima Town. With.

"Haha, Lord Tiejun thinks so easily. I also admire your abilities as watchers, but the stranger should still be in the town. The little thief who stole the general's order doesn't know the origin. I'm afraid things may not be as you think. So smooth..."

There was very little movement, and the smoke blended into the windy night, and no one noticed it. However, the sky and the earth suddenly dimmed slightly, and even the bright stars in the sky dimmed suddenly.

The young master of the Meng family laughed softly. The two people who were polite to each other earlier seemed to be a little unhappy because the young master of the Meng family had failed in refining the Yin general. There was a gap between their words.

I saw one word written on each tablet, namely: disease, injury, pain, sorrow, surprise, despair, sorrow, and suffering.

Some silent changes are taking place secretly in this lively blessing event, spreading silently, as undetectable as the dark wind passing through the crowd.

Young Master Meng laughed and said, "Master Tiejun is waiting for the right time. I will not enter the town before that time. I will just watch these demons showing off their magic and bewitching the villagers and foolish women. Can't stand it."

　　It wasn't until the little ghost jumped up and appeared in front of them to give orders that they lit four sticks of incense, stuck them beside them, and then took off the black cloth covering the tablet.

After listening to his words, Tie Jun's lobby officer even acted a little coldly and said: "You must abide by the rules and wait for these three days. Didn't you tell me what you said to me, Master Meng?"

　Some people who were already hungry came to the town and had already eaten a full meal. Now they knelt down and worshiped sincerely. They asked for nothing but soup for two meals a day. Rice grains could be seen in it.

His body shivered, as if something bad had happened.

　　　…”

In the town, the colorful lights everywhere were cast into a shadow at this moment.

 “You have to abide by the rules.”

 It was hard to explain this feeling clearly at the moment. I just felt like I was suddenly seeing something, and strong depression and darkness arose in my heart.

While he was speaking, he suddenly waved his sleeves, and behind him, there was a dark wind blowing. Seven or eight little devils, all carrying command flags on their bodies, flew out as he waved his sleeves. It turned into a breeze and instantly traveled in all directions of Shima Town.

They held these tablets and slowly kowtowed in the direction of Shima Town. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up around them, and the smoke from the four incense sticks around them suddenly came from eight directions towards the stone in the center. Ma Zhenzi floated over.

“The red light brings blessings, drives away evil spirits and dispels disasters…”

But at this moment, it is inexplicable that after filling my stomach with soup just now, I am hungry again, and getting hungrier. It is as if all the hunger for several years has been concentrated in this moment, as if there is a starving ghost living in my body. , I can’t feel full no matter how much I eat.

Some people who were originally sick and came to seek medical treatment had "nectar" sprinkled on their heads and felt that their bodies had improved a lot. However, when the evil wind blew, the pain returned faintly, and they even groaned in pain.

At this time, on the altar, a Dharma king standing in the northeast corner was looking down at the sobbing baby in the arms of a dirty peasant woman. The baby was covered in bruises and crying. He looked at the peasant woman who kept crying. Kowtow to yourself and pray to yourself.

His Holiness held his lotus fingers, dipped them in a few drops of nectar, and sprinkled it on the baby. The baby stopped crying immediately, and the bruises on its body seemed to have faded away. The peasant woman suddenly cried with joy. But unexpectedly, just as he was about to continue walking on the altar at his feet, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the crying that had just stopped suddenly started again, louder than before, and suddenly broke the scene. The quietness.

The Dharma King who was standing on the altar looked a little surprised when he saw this. He hurriedly dipped the "nectar" into it and sprinkled it on it. Unexpectedly, even after sprinkling a few drops, the baby still kept crying and the sound was loud. Instead it got louder.

Even the altar stopped. The little devil leading the way and the kneeling people all realized something and looked up blankly at the crying baby.

Immediately afterwards, there were groans from other people, and some people couldn't hold themselves up and half-folded on the ground.

Just a moment ago, the streets were full of celebrations and the town was bustling with people. Now it was inexplicably cast into a shadow, and cries and moans began to appear non-stop.

The Dharma Kings standing on the corners of the altar also noticed the change in the atmosphere. They were all anxious, and they dipped the water in the porcelain bowl and sprinkled it on the people around them. Their actions were much different than before. Obviously a few minutes faster.

But no matter how fast they moved to bless and dipped in more water, there was still a gloomy and depressing feeling around them, rising like mist, gradually covering more and more people.

The four Dharma Kings on the altar became more and more nervous. They felt that the porcelain bowls in their hands seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and they were almost unable to hold them.

 …

 …

 “Leader, that’s not quite right…”

On the other side, in the main altar mansion, Miaoshan Xiangu, the leader of Yiqian Sect, who had put on Taoist robes and had a huge copper plate hanging on her chest, was also sitting under the old elm tree, surrounded by ten large black vats. , she closed her eyes and kept chanting incantations.

The ten large tanks around him were filled with gloomy air. From time to time, one or two sobbing sounds could be heard. From time to time, some water marks would condense on the walls of the tank, dripping slowly, and then evaporating on the stone horse. In the town.

Beside her was the white fan who was protecting her. He listened to the goings on in the town from time to time, in case anything unexpected happened.

Originally, the leader had already said that this lantern festival would be absolutely fine, so he just sat here, waiting for a long time, with nothing to do, but at this moment, he suddenly became slightly startled.

He waved his fan and fanned the noise outside into his ears. His expression quickly became surprised and he said: "The altar has stopped. There is crying outside..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fairy Miao Shan opened her eyes suddenly and looked intently. Her expression suddenly changed. She suddenly saw that there was slight movement in the two large tanks, as if something was struggling inside. , blood slowly seeped out from the mouth of the jar.

“Nourish blessings and suppress evil spirits, atone for sins and eliminate karma, cause and effect cycle, the laws of heaven are clear, come back to me!”

Fairy Miaoshan's eyes flashed, and she waved away the fly whisk in her hand, then she squeezed the magic seal with her hand, and pointed hard at the two large vats. The blood seeping out of the two vats seemed to be frightened, and slowly shrunk. Went back.

She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly heard the sound of violent struggles suddenly coming from the three large tanks next to her. It was so sudden that she was startled. Just as she was about to look, she suddenly heard something in her ears. Then, a sinister laughter came from inside the tank.

Just now, there were sobbing sounds from time to time in the ten large tanks. Fairy Miaoshan did not take it seriously, but now, laughter suddenly came from inside, and she was suddenly startled.

His face turned pale and his voice trembled slightly: "Is...is this thing laughing?"

 Bai Fanzi was even frightened by the laughter and took a step back. He looked at the ten large vats with a surprised expression and said in a trembling voice: "Leader, something has come in..."

Xiangu Miaoshan has also straightened up and looked at the ten large vats in front of her with vigilance: "I...I'm not blind!"

 …

 …

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the sky above the whole town is getting darker and darker. The lantern festival, which was originally bustling with people and decorated with colorful lights, seems to be suddenly covered by something, and becomes more and more oppressive.

 But there was only one place where I was feeling depressed, but suddenly felt a little excited.

It was in a large blacksmith shop on the west side of Shima Town. The old master in the shop was leading a dozen young apprentices to forge knives. They had been working hard for more than ten days. More than a dozen bloodshot eyes were staring at the knife in the furnace.

The people around them didn't know what was going on in the blacksmith shop, and few people came to disturb them. They only knew that their shop seemed to be suffering from an evil disease. They couldn't leave the house for more than ten days. The demon corpse was causing trouble before, and now. I don’t care about the lantern festival.

Just now, the lantern blessing ceremony started, and when the nectar was sprinkled on the altar, everyone in the whole town was filled with joy and the gloom was dispelled, but only the master of the hammer, his face became more and more serious, and he screamed uncontrollably. road:

 “It’s broken, why did it happen at this time?”
