Twilight Boundary

He fell into a dream, and forgot about the human world.

In the past, when Hu Ma fell into a dream, he would only enter his natal temple or fall into a deep sleep.

But this time, he deliberately retained his consciousness, and really just had a light sleep, letting himself dream.

Only in this way can those who want to "send a dream" to him find a chance to enter the dream.

According to the knowledge in the sect, dreams are the manifestation of the soul being restless and wandering in the entanglement of cause and effect between heaven and earth, so there is also a saying that external evil waits for an opportunity to enter the dream and pesters the living.

Before entering the mansion, Hu Ma had also received a ghost's dream, but later, as his ability gradually increased, his soul was stable, and his fate was heavy, he gradually had the ability to stop dreaming and external evil would not enter people's hearts.

This is not a big skill. There should be many people in the sect of keeping the year, who can do it.

The "golden body is not leaking" mentioned by Mr. Zhou also means that it is difficult for external evil to invade and sleep soundly without dreams.

Of course, this time, Hu Ma took the initiative to invite the external evil into his heart. Not only did he not suppress it, but he even kept the word "Nether Palace" in his heart. He silently wondered what the ten emperors of Duyi in the past should look like, and what the Underworld Palace belonged to.

Because of thinking in his heart, he really had a dream in a trance.

Drifting, like a duckweed, confused, not knowing where he was, when he opened his eyes, he saw that he seemed to have come to a golden palace.

Looking up, he saw that under the palace, both sides were full of gloomy and murderous civil and military officials, with earth-shaking auras, which made people feel terrified. At the top, on the dragon throne, there was a vague figure with a pearl crown on his head.

In this dream, the figure was extremely huge, larger than mountains and rivers, high above them, looking down at himself like an ant.

The cold eyes in his eyes were like lightning, piercing through his body, as if he saw through everything, and then a heavy voice sounded:

"You are the clerk who holds the seal, and you are seeing me, why don't you kneel?"

"..."

This voice made people feel uneasy, and their minds were full of distracting thoughts, and countless fragmented pictures flashed by.

It was as if there was really an ancestor in his blood, standing in the Golden Palace at this moment, trembling with fear, facing the emperor who was high above, and his knees softened, and he was about to kneel down.

However, after all, he had Taoism, and when he felt the earth-shaking pressure coming towards him, he seemed to have a faint golden light wrapped around him. Although it was not very obvious, it immediately offset a lot of the pressure.

Not only did he not kneel down, but his mind was slightly dazed, and he had clearly realized where he was and what he was facing now.

He stood more steadily, slowly put his hands behind his back, looked around, and took in the full number of Yin gods in the hall.

Finally, he looked up at the dragon throne and suddenly said: "Which emperor of Duyi are you?"

"How dare you!"

Seeing the faint golden light on Hu Ma's body, the existence on the dragon throne seemed to be angered, and there was a rolling black gas surging on his body. In the infinite darkness behind him, huge tentacles were looming.

There was an inviolable and cold voice: "I am the most upright and upright emperor of great power and virtue. If you don't bow to me and dare to ask my name, it is a great rebellion."

When he shouted, a gloomy wind suddenly rose in the whole court. The civil and military officials on both sides moved together. The sound of the tablets colliding with the armor plates was continuous, just like the roar of heaven and earth, and the rolling evil spirits gathered.

"So it's the second to last emperor of Duyi?"

"The one who was skinned is his son."

Hu Ma was unmoved, but he also understood the number in his heart.

Of the eleven emperors of Duyi, the last one was skinned and lost the world, so he naturally had no right to come in. Therefore, there were ten emperor ghosts in the Hades Palace. When I first entered the dream, I didn't know which one I would see first, but now I know who this guy is.

Of course, the posthumous titles of these emperors were conferred after death, and they didn't know it during their lifetime.

It was after the funeral that their children and grandchildren told them. Whether the title was good or bad, they had to accept it anyway.

"Treason?"

This was his first contact with the Hades Palace. Hu Ma also wanted to test the other party's level, so he sneered: "Do you really think you are still alive and still the emperor of the people of this world?"

"Don't say that you are a dead ghost now. Even if you are really alive, based on the things you have done, what qualifications do you have to kneel in front of me?"

"Look carefully, I am the chief priest of the Daluo Fa Sect, the chief of the Zhensui Hu family, in charge of the Zhensui Mansion, commanding the golden armor, sitting in the Yin and Yang. The Erduyi lineage, the dynasty was defeated early, and all the children and grandchildren died. It is the cause and effect of sins, and the retribution is not bad."

"Instead of thinking about yourself and blaming yourself in the underworld, you dare to dream to me?"

"Don't you know that my Zhensui Mansion is in charge of the boundary between Yin and Yang, and the dead are not allowed to harass the living, otherwise I will chop off your head?"

"..."

"How dare you!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like poking a hornet's nest. Not to mention the dragon throne, the civil and military officials on both sides were also angered.

I don't know how many ministers and generals whose faces I couldn't see clearly stood up and shouted: "The Hu family is just a small official in charge of the seal, how dare you dream of the power of the Zhensui Mansion?"

"Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime, which is unforgivable. Take him down immediately!"

"Come on, take him down!"

They were really rude, perhaps they really thought it was natural. As soon as they said to start, someone really rushed forward, and the swords, weapons, and shackles were directly aimed at them.

Hu Ma glanced over and saw the figures and faces in the hall, all of which looked extremely strange. Some were white and green paper figures with stiff eyebrows and eyes, while others were covered with yellow paper and no facial features could be seen.

It can be said that the official robes and armor on their bodies were exquisite, but the people inside were stiff and weird.

They were not as vivid as the maids holding lanterns on both sides of the Golden Palace.

After a little thought, he understood the reason.

Even if these emperors died, they would continue to command the civil and military officials below, but the real civil and military officials were unwilling to follow the emperor down.

They could kill the emperor's concubines, eunuchs, palace maids, servants, civilians, and slaves, and serve by the emperor's side, but when it was their turn, they were mostly replaced by paper figures.

After seeing through these guys' details, he was not afraid at all, but sneered, suddenly opened his mouth, and spit out a Yuanyang arrow.

As a person who keeps watch on the New Year, even in a dream, the Yuan Yang is still strong and powerful!

With a rumbling sound, the fire in the hall was seen, like a scorching sun descending, with golden crow flames.

These civil and military officials who rushed to him with their fangs and claws were blown up by him at once, and even countless people were directly on fire, and even the rows of armor on the generals were quickly melted at this time.

No matter how bad the Hades Palace is, it is just a special underworld. There are still ghosts here, how can they withstand his Yuan Yang arrows?

However, although one move worked, he was also paying attention, knowing that the weirdness of the Hades Palace was extraordinary. He sneered on his face, but he did not dare to underestimate the ghosts in the Hades Palace.

As expected, the figure on the dragon throne was furious when he saw this scene, and shouted: "Rebellion!"

After patting the dragon throne, the first of the two rows of maids beside him held two green and gloomy palace lanterns, lifted them up, and shone them on the hall. The two palace lanterns suddenly turned purple.

Immediately, purple air rolled forward from the palace lanterns. At this moment, the burned and melted civil officials and generals suddenly turned into living people.

Their flesh and blood were real, their faces were full of majesty, and their bodies were full of the high and mighty appearance they had in their lifetime.

The civil officials spoke at the same time, and their mouths opened and closed. It was unclear what they said, but it was clearly a ghost curse, which made people panic, as if their living energy was about to be stripped away and they were haunted in their dreams.

The generals had already drawn their swords and slashed at Hu Ma viciously. The skin was cold where the blades passed, and their lives were at stake.

"Caught, caught."

"It's better to hold someone who came to the door here than to offer him as a sacrifice."

"If the descendant of the official who holds the seal dares to deceive the emperor, he will be used to return to the human world!"

The air was chaotic, and countless voices entered his ears, making him irritated, but Hu Ma heard the reason why they wanted to capture him.

Now they only came to him in a dream, and the connection with him was tenuous, so they wanted to capture him in the palace. If they captured him, it would be equivalent to the hope that the Hades Palace would use him to return to the human world.

Now the Hades Palace has become a tree without roots in the human world. Although it is still majestic, it has become a family of extinction in the mouths of the people.

If you want to continue to enjoy the incense of the human world or influence the human world, you have to find the corresponding bloodline.

However, Du Yi is a royal family after all. Although there must be some bloodlines left in the human world, just like the former Qingyuan Hu family, they found one, but those bloodlines have long lost their identity as heaven and earth certificates, which is equivalent to no relationship with the Hades Palace.

Having said that, these bloodlines left in the human world were able to escape Mr. Longjing's curse because they had no relationship.

"Sure enough..."

When the purple air rolled in above the hall, Hu Ma's heart sank and he could not help but take a step back.

Looking up, the hall was extremely real, and it felt like a mountain after a mountain was pressing down on him. This was the pressure he had not felt for a long time since he became an art master.

After all, he had already had the tenth incense stick earlier, and this tenth incense stick was snatched from heaven and earth.

The human power of the year-old man started from the earth, and Hu Ma borrowed this tenth incense stick, which could reach a state of integration with heaven and earth, and let this world help him share the pressure, so no one could beat him, and all kinds of methods would be drawn to him.

But at this time, firstly, he was not in the human world, and secondly, the purple air he faced now was unprecedentedly powerful, stronger than the original Shangjing.

In theory, it can be said that the weight of Shangjing City just hit him in the face.

Intuitively, every figure in front of him became extremely huge, and even a ray of purple light from a lantern was as heavy as a mountain.

This underworld palace was different from anything he had seen in the human world.

The tenth emperor of Duyi had been in office for seventeen years, enjoying the fortune of the world for seventeen years, and also stealing countless amounts of heaven and earth. Whether it was fate or incense, it was far superior to his own.

Once the person who was keeping watch could not stand steadily, his ability would be equivalent to losing 90%.

But just when he, a person keeping watch, could not stand steadily and was about to retreat, he suddenly felt cold behind him.

A strong force came out of nowhere and supported Hu Ma's waist.

Hu Ma was in a dream, and he didn't need to look back to see the person behind him, and he was surprised for a moment.

It was Xiao Hongtang.

She didn't know when she followed him into the dream, and now her little face was pale, hiding behind him, shivering.

It was obvious that she was extremely scared, but she still came and helped to stop her retreat.

The most important thing was that Xiao Hongtang usually wore a red dress, and when she came to this place, the red dress was even brighter, even purple.

It was not much less than the purple air that surged from the palace.

Hu Ma had been practicing until now, and his ability was getting bigger and bigger, but he really didn't get much purple air. Xiao Hongtang now seemed to be made of purple air, which just made up for this deficiency. She immediately stood firm in this underworld palace.

"How brave!"

And when Xiao Hongtang suddenly appeared, the swords and guns that had already forced Hu Ma in front of him were also put away.

The civil officials on both sides stopped talking, including the black shadow on the dragon chair in front, and looked at her at the same time with surprise in their eyes, but then they were furious.

They shouted sternly: "You are just a maidservant, a sacrificial offering. You entered the human world with the imperial decree, but you ignored the imperial order and escaped the blame. How dare you come back now?"

In this underworld palace, this kind of scolding and accusation was like a reality, rushing towards Xiao Hongtang.

Facing these people, Xiao Hongtang was obviously very scared. Her two short legs that were barely standing became soft. She sat on the ground and hugged Hu Ma's thighs tightly, just wanting Hu Ma to block her.

The maids holding palace lanterns on both sides of the dragon chair also stared at Xiao Hongtang, their mouths opened and closed, as if silently cursing, and at the same time raised the lanterns in their hands high.

Seeing that the purple light in the lantern was bright again, it seemed to be the same source as the purple air on Xiao Hongtang's body. With their movements, the purple air on Xiao Hongtang's body was vaguely floating, and had begun to be absorbed by the lanterns bit by bit.

"What?"

If it were in the human world, it would be a mess at this time, and it would be hard to ask what happened.

But now they were in the Hades Palace. Hu Ma was in a dream, and these people were even more infected by ghosts. As they intertwined, Hu Ma immediately understood what Xiao Hongtang had experienced.

His face suddenly darkened, and endless hatred burst out of his eyes.

Xiao Hongtang had indeed escaped from the Hades Palace.

She was one of the boys and girls who were buried alive with the emperor. When she came to the underworld, she was bullied by the big ghosts because she was ignorant when she was alive.

It should have been so dark, but because the bloodline of the Yi people in the world was cut off, the Hades Palace became a tree without roots.

And she was a real living person buried alive, and she was a truly clean living soul. Therefore, she was chosen by the emperor ghost, blessed with purple air, and sent to the human world to reincarnate, so that she could become one of the triggers to open the passage between the Hades Palace and the human world in the future.

It was just that Xiao Hongtang took the wrong road and arrived at the wrong time on her way to reincarnation, so she ended up wandering in the human world. She was eventually met by her mother-in-law who was returning to the capital. Seeing her pity, she was taken back to Lao Yinshan.

In fact, in recent years, the Hades Palace has sent many people out in this way, but it seems that none of them succeeded.

Either they got lost or were secretly eliminated. Over time, the Hades Palace gave up this idea.

But now they saw Xiao Hongtang appear, and they were immediately furious. One was to take back the purple air, and the other was to catch and punish her.

But now, Hu Ma was watching by his side.

Before, he had always wanted to know Xiao Hongtang's life experience. Why was this little girl so different from others?

She was extremely powerful, but she didn't dare to fight with others, and she wouldn't hurt anyone.

When facing blood food, she had an extraordinary ability to restrain herself... People who were originally pinched by purple air, of course, had an extraordinary ability to restrain the purple Tai Sui.

But it was fine before he knew it, but after he knew it, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Thinking of how she was forced to be buried alive when she was still ignorant, and how she was bullied after death, now seeing this little girl sitting on the ground in fear with a pale face, almost transparent, a surge of fire had already burned his eyes red.

Suddenly, he waved his sleeves and blocked the two lanterns that were shining on Xiao Hongtang.

Then he slowly helped her up, blocked them with his body, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Hongtang, I'll help you vent your anger!"

"You can't even protect yourself, what's the point of venting your anger?"

"Take him down, at least, keep that little girl here!"

In the Hades Palace, a group of evil ghosts shouted. The ghosts in the Hades Palace were different from those in other places. Most of the ghosts in other underworlds had lost their spirituality and only knew the gloomy and violent. At most, they knew some awe and instinctive fear.

But the ghosts in the Hades Palace seemed to be nourished by the purple air and still had the thinking of living people.

They were afraid that they could not catch Hu Ma, but they saw that he was worried about Xiao Hongtang, so they had a way.

As long as they caught her, they would not be afraid of not being able to catch Hu Ma.

Amid the shouts, they hummed like flies, swarmed into pieces, and turned into a group of gloomy winds, rushing straight towards Hu Ma.

…

…

"Could it be that even you can't hold on in front of this Hades Palace?"

At this time, on Mount Da Ai, the national teacher was staring at the ten incense sticks he had burned.

Clearly, one of the ten incense sticks was burning very vigorously, and the incense smell was stronger than the others. It had already become a piece, like a cloud, covering Hu Ma in it.

And under Hu Ma, the soil began to soften and sink, as if he was going to sink into the ground little by little.

He knew that this was the Hades Palace trying to catch Hu Ma in his dream and pull him from the human world into the Hades Palace.

However, because he had walked too far on the bridge, he had no way to deal with the Hades Palace. But Hu Ma had unprecedented ten-pillar Taoism skills. Could he be so vulnerable?

Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly saw Hu Ma, who was in a dream, clenched his teeth and said in a low voice: "I will turn my body into a bridge to lead the killing disaster in the human world to the Hades Palace!"

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, a blood-colored lightning suddenly appeared from the other side of the sky, suddenly led to the mountains, and fell beside Hu Ma.

The next moment, a strong wind blew up and blood was everywhere.

…

…

In the Hades Palace, Hu Ma protected Xiao Hongtang with one hand and pointed to the human world with the other hand. His arm and shoulder formed a bridge.

The next moment, the Hades Palace and the human world seemed to have built a bridge with him as the boundary. The indescribable bloody storm suddenly poured from the human world into the Hades Palace. The countless civil and military officials were all torn to pieces by the storm.

Even the rolling purple air in the palace was hit by the blood and instantly ceased to take shape and rolled back.

He protected Xiao Hongtang with one hand, his body covered with blood, and walked straight into the palace step by step, shocking all the civil and military officials. Their faces were panicked, and his voice was like a fierce god frightening a demon:

"A murder is happening in the world, destroying the unfair fate of the world. You are the one who takes the most advantage of fate, how can I let you go?"

"..."

While speaking, he slowly raised his hand, and saw a hideous and fierce knife, which fell from the world into his dream, and then from the dream to his hand in the Hades Palace. The blade was hideous and fierce, and on the handle, there was a ghost head, which was emitting endless evil spirit.

Hu Ma held the knife and said in a low voice: "It was full of evil spirit, but today it is stained with blood."

"I will change your name for you, from the punishment official to the Owl Emperor. Today, you will accompany me in the Hades Palace and kill the emperor. Are you willing?"

"..."

The Owl Emperor's sword suddenly clanged, like an evil ghost laughing wildly.
