Twilight Boundary

Chapter 527: Suppressing Evil and Attacking the Golden Mace

“Senior, it’s really time for me to get back the Hu family’s tokens…”

 Do you remember that when I first learned the method of keeping the year old, shopkeeper Wu Hong said to me that keeping the year old is the most indifferent way of doing things?

 But God has destined that I can only take the path of ghosts that is most responsible for karma...

But the strangest thing is that when the pressure on my head reaches the extreme, I think about fighting for the world because of my identity as a reincarnated person, and about blocking the Meng family because of my identity as a descendant of the Hu family. Became a rebel leader...

 …It’s so relaxing!

Probably it’s like a sweet potato that has been burdened with countless debts and grievances. Just let it go and destroy it. You won’t have to worry about the debt, right?

What else are you thinking about? With a wry smile on his lips, he withdrew his gaze and bowed slightly to the tiger in front of him, just as a gesture. He bowed too deeply, fearing that the senior tiger would hide aside again.

Then, he simply stood up and walked straight to the square millstone. His mood became so peaceful for the first time since his reincarnation, as if the wind in the village had stopped.

For some reason, when he walked to the box, he couldn't help but look at a stone tablet still standing on the east side of the village. Now that the magic power on the tablet had been dissipated, the traces left by his mother-in-law here had disappeared. .

 But Hu Ma still saw her, as if she was standing under the stone monument, looking at him silently with her eyes that were not very good at expressing emotions.

Hu Ma stood up, faced the gaze of the Dharma pattern on the mace, slowly stretched out his palm, put it into the box, held the handle of the mace, and put all the four pillars of Taoism into the incense burner, and the soul light all over his body was faintly glowing. , and then lift it up hard.

The moment he said these words, the iron chain on the box instantly turned into pieces of rotten straw rope.

He remembered that when he borrowed the token before, it was extremely heavy and he was extremely reluctant to lift it with three pillars. Therefore, this time, he directly carried it with four pillars.

With this effort, I felt a little surprised again.

In his body, something deep in his bloodline seemed to be awakening. His identity as a reincarnated person and the cautiousness of the little shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang disappeared at this moment. He only had one identity left, that is, a descendant of the Hu family. Taking over his own burden.

At this moment, even the wind in the village seemed to have completely disappeared. All the ghosts in the village raised their heads and watched Hu Ma bowing to the box.

Hu Ma turned to her mother-in-law, nodded silently, then turned around and came directly to the millstone.

 Boom!

Invisible shouts poured into Hu Ma's ears, shaking him so much that his whole body was numb, as if his soul could not bear the pressure. If there was any hesitation or guilty conscience, his bones would be crushed by this mace.

 “Wow…”

"Um?"

Although there is only one pillar of difference in Taoism, there is still a door between the inside and the outside of the mansion. Compared to that time, my strength is more than three times greater?

But holding this thing, it still felt so heavy, as if it was no different from the last time I lifted it. One hand was not enough, so I used two hands to take the mace out of the box.

 Then, little by little, it was raised above the head.

Inside the box, there was lying the dark copper mace, which seemed extremely heavy when he looked at it. The beast pattern with a human face and tiger claws on it seemed to come to life. He slowly stretched his body and his eyes fell on it sinisterly. Hu Ma's face.

The moment the copper mace reached the top, the nine-section mace body gradually collided and made a clanging sound, like invisible thunderbolts exploding one after another. The rolling strong wind came unexpectedly and rotated around Hu Ma's body, raising the corners of his robe. The high one lifted up.

　　　…”

"Taking this ace, you will be able to maintain the division between Yin and Yang and the order of humans and ghosts, from the Nine Heavens Yin Division to the Eight Scenery Huangquan. Anyone who violates the rules will be beaten. Do you dare to bear this weight?"

Vaguely, Hu Ma seemed to be hallucinating, as if he saw himself in a place similar to the Jinluan Hall, but it had a lot of gloomy and solemn meaning for no reason. He heard an extremely loud voice, and shouted loudly from above. :

“Now I give the Hu family a golden mace to suppress evil spirits, kill evil spirits, and destroy gods and temples. Do you dare to accept it?”

Only Hu Ma's voice sounded: "Children and grandsons of the Hu family, come to ask for troops!"

So, he straightened his robes, looked solemn, stepped forward, and slowly bowed to the iron box.

　　　…”

But he gritted his teeth and held on, holding on to this weapon, letting the loud shouts ring like thunder in his ears, and there was only one deep shout:

"dare!"

　　　…”

As soon as he agreed, a strong wind filled the air. Centered on him, the aura on the mace suddenly spread to all directions of the entire decadent and depressed village. It seemed that there were countless overlapping sounds, and the sound resounded.

 It is not just his own answer. In fact, the first masters of the Hu family in the past dynasties have all given this answer when they received the golden mace to suppress evil spirits. Only by promising to the mace can they become the master of the Hu family.

The roaring wind blew in all directions, and the countless innocent souls around them felt frightened and trembled instinctively. They did not dare to look at Hu Ma who was holding the mace. In fact, even if they were just standing in the village, their footing was unsteady and almost to the point of being destroyed. blown away by the wind.

“You have sinned so much that even though you were harmed by that filthy thing, you still cannot escape the guilt.”

At the same time, the tiger who was watching the ceremony looked at Hu Ma holding up the mace, with a blurry expression on his face, and he was a little sad, but he still turned to the innocent soul beside him and whispered: "So, you need to worship him. ”

"To suppress the Hu family, I will ignore your debts and send you where you should go..." "To put an end to chaos, to punish the gods and to defeat the ghosts is to suppress the Hu family..."

　　　…”

These ghosts, who have been decayed for a long time, may not be able to understand what the tiger is saying, but they have been frightened by Hu Ma's trump card, and they knelt down one after another without raising their heads.

And a strange scene appeared. As they knelt down towards Hu Ma, the strong wind that rolled over seemed to let them go immediately. It roared past their heads and swept away the remaining gloomy resentment in the village. Sweep away.

All the remnants carried by these resentful souls were blown away by the strong wind. Even their ghost bodies seemed to be much lighter. The tiger smiled with a smile on his face and gently lifted his right sleeve. Expand it, endless ghosts all enter its sleeves.

 Then, he slowly raised his sleeves and touched his eyes. Although his face was still blurry, he could see that there was a look of sincere joy on his face:

 “There are people in the Hu family in Zhensui...”

　　　…”

　　　…”

Hulala...

Not far from Shixiazi Village, in Dayangzhai, next to the old fire pond, a dark wind suddenly blew up. It actually blew up the ashes of the old fire pond that usually would not fly. .

In the ashes of the pond, there is also a vague wind rising. It is noon now and the sun is shining high. However, this gloomy air does not seem to be afraid of the sun at all. It just follows the wind lightly. It is faint over the old fire pond. Swinging, circling gently.

As if dazzled by human eyes, a hunched figure of an old woman seemed to appear inside. She floated over Dayangzhai, looked in the direction of Juehu Village, and nodded slightly.

There was a smile of relief on his face, and there seemed to be some expectation. After hesitating for a long time, he finally followed the wind and drifted straight to the north.

And in the far north, far away, in front of a huge ancient and desolate mausoleum, ten ancient ancestral halls stood quietly there. In front of each ancestral hall, there was a brazier, with a flame inside that never went out. The faint swing illuminates the world.

There are ten pots arranged in a circle, one of which has been extinguished for twenty years.

 But at this moment, there was a faint light of fire in the brazier, like young seedlings, which came out bit by bit, and then, as if the energy accumulated for twenty years, rose instantly.

In an instant, it shot straight into the sky, suppressing the other nine braziers until they were dimmed. Together, they could not block the light of this pot of flames.

"What?"

The person guarding the tomb woke up with a start and stared at the rising flame. It took him a while to suddenly react. He rushed to the ancestral hall behind the brazier, opened the lock on the thick black door, and rushed Got in.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

There was a slight shaking sound, and he looked intently. It was the bottom of the rows of tablets. The texture and color of that tablet seemed to be different from the other tablets. There were even some brand-new tablets. Trembling slightly.

The person guarding the mausoleum was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He suddenly shouted: "Quick, guard your body and return to your soul. It's time for Grandma Bai to be promoted..."

"No…"

Before he could hold the tablet with trembling hands, a heavy voice sounded outside, and a tall figure was seen standing outside the ancestral hall, slowly bowing his head and bowing down.

After bowing three times, he said in a deep voice: "It's not the Bai family's grandma, it's the Hu family's grandma."

“I am an orphan and a widower, a woman of a Taoist family. I have not received the true inheritance of the Hu family, but on my old shoulders, I have taken on the responsibility of the inheritance of Zhensui. Now my merits are complete..."

“…In this ancestral hall, who else is more qualified than her to be called the Hu family?”

　　　…”

　　　…”

At the same moment, in the ancestral house of the Meng family, the drowsy eldest lady, who was being beaten on the leg by a maid, was suddenly awakened. She hurriedly ran to the ancestral hall, saying "Ouch", and kept complaining: "What's going on?" …”

“In the past, there was no movement for a year or two. Now, why are they happening one after another and still not letting people stop?”

　　　…”

In several other places, old farmers working in the fields, Caiyi walking in rivers and lakes, doctors collecting herbs in the mountains, rich men sitting quietly in dark rooms, government officials living alone in government offices, quietly lighting fires, all also raised their heads with astonished expressions. Among them, there was a surprise:

“Is this family really not dead?”

“Since the Hu family has appeared, other families no longer need to hide. It’s time to go out and prepare for the appointment at Shiting…”
