Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 565 The Altar of Ming Prefecture
At the same time, in a place extremely far from Ming Prefecture, there was a row of fences made of branches, stretching for about three *li*. This short fence seemed to separate Guan Prefecture from Ming Prefecture.
No matter how aimlessly the hungry ghosts wandered, their eyes red for a single grain of rice, they never entered Ming Prefecture.
But now, many openings had been torn in the fence.
In the air, there were hazy white figures, holding three incense sticks, appearing and disappearing, slowly walking forward. A line of hungry ghosts followed behind them, sniffing the scent of the incense, moving forward in a daze.
Protected by the hungry ghost gods, they could travel a hundred *li* in an instant. More and more hungry ghosts were being led to the city of Ming Prefecture.
But now, a vague voice suddenly came from the air. These white figures looked up blankly, as if they saw burning talismans flying in front of them, with a majestic voice falling into their ears.
Listening to the voice in the talisman, they all knelt down with incense in hand, and after receiving the order, suddenly quickened their pace, slightly adjusted their direction, and headed straight for various parts of Ming Prefecture.
...Everyone was stunned, and no one could stop themselves from thinking: 'Isn't feeding cattle always a sign of creating a noble person's rebellion? Now he's entrusting his hopes to that noble person?' In a panic, they all subconsciously looked at the military advisor Tie Zui Zi and the grain protection general Yang Gong, wanting to ask for a decision. But Li Tian was already gritting his teeth, while the military advisor Tie Zui Zi's expression had calmed down.
"Meng Village encountered a nest of madmen, eating people..." As if seeing what everyone was thinking, Tie Zui Zi took a deep breath and waved his hand, not saying much, but understanding in his heart: Whether this noble person is like this or not, since the Unsated Cattle Cult Leader has mingled with that idiot master, he must have his arrangements! The altar masters, one by one, usually walked through the streets and alleys, the rural ghost walkers between villages and towns. When they sensed the surge of baleful aura, the candles on and under the altar instantly burned to eight or nine feet high.
But now, hungry ghosts were everywhere in Ming Prefecture. Not only were the grain protection troops attacked from both sides, but the key was that the grain protection troops were gathered from young men from various places. Now, after hearing that the villages had been hit by disaster... Meeting everyone's gaze, he said lightly, "I wasn't panicking before, but after hearing this news, there's no need to panic anymore."
"...The head of the Zhenchong family, bearing the responsibility alone!" With a rumble, a gust of wind swept from Zhu Men Town directly towards the entire Ming Prefecture.
"Huff..." He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't they all say that Ming Prefecture has a noble person?"
But at that moment, someone suddenly came to report, "It's bad! Traces of hungry ghosts have been discovered in the area of Daliaang County to the south, rushing into the villages to grab food..." Now, someone also came to report in Yang Gong's tent, which was quite unexpected.
As the news spread, everyone in the field felt a chill down their spines, and the white fan in the crowd was even more stunned. The fan in his hand could no longer close, and he just muttered, "It's over, it's over, the scariest scene has appeared..." Vast and mighty, it seemed to form a magic altar based on the entire land of Ming Prefecture. Its power was indescribable. Even the city of Ming Prefecture was like a grain of rice in front of a millstone.
Thinking in his heart, his expression became very intense. He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Ming Prefecture, and saw layers of incense smoke rising like clouds, rolling and surging, drifting straight out of the city, as if it could cover the entire Ming Prefecture.
"They've been urging me to show myself quickly, then... I'll really show myself and have a good talk with them!"
But even so, he could only arrange it that way, one by one, waiting for that great battle.
"We've changed several waves of people to scold, and their voices are hoarse, but there's no movement in the other side's formation. And those hungry ghosts outside don't react no matter how we scold them, as if they can't hear us."
Perhaps, there were always some people who, no matter how much you used your imagination to think of the lowest limit for them, they always had the ability to easily break that limit. "Disturbing the spirits of Ming Prefecture, kill!"
"Bad luck." In eyes blurred by the wind, he saw a tall mansion, and a figure was walking out quickly, shouting in a deep voice: "..."
"...Starting from Ming Prefecture, setting a time of one day and one night, neither sealing spells nor banning magic, Yin and Yang can be ordered, and life and death are not related, but if there is sin in the underworld, it is not recorded on the body of the one who receives the order, but only by..."
"The Zhenchong Prefecture leads the ghost walkers of the world, to suppress evil, slaughter demons, resist disasters, appease Yin, the meaning is in it, receiving orders from heaven, especially to announce this to the world, to carry out orders here, please heaven and earth, gods and ghosts, all as witnesses:" His arrangements were still meticulous, and the armor and seals made in these short few days were more appropriate than before, but when it came to head-on confrontation, there was obviously not much confidence in his tone.
And he sat still, letting the white smoke熏smother his eyes. Between the fuzzy stickiness, he seemed to see white-clothed, tall-hatted, three-incense-holding strange shadows walking in Yin and Yang everywhere in Ming Prefecture.
Taking a deep breath, he blew fiercely on the white bone at the handle of the knife
"In that case, it's not easy to take two small advantages again. We can only spread out the manpower, first to persuade the villages to mobilize the young men to protect the grain. Now we have more than 17,000 troops, but for Ming Prefecture, it's still very few."
Maybe it was limited by my identity. Even after two lifetimes, there would always be times when I saw things that I didn't even believe would happen before my eyes. "Good rules, chaotic Yin and Yang, destroyers of Qi, kill! Kill! Kill!" "Or raise the battle and prepare to fight head-on with the other side!" While Yang Gong's camp received the letter earlier, a gust of evil wind in Zhu Men Town suddenly blew Hu Ma awake.
"Now it seems that although the group of hungry ghosts has no knowledge, the leader is not stupid."
"...Now there are hungry ghosts from Guan Prefecture, fueling the evil, re-offending Ming Prefecture, disrespecting ghosts and gods, immediately order the people of Ming Prefecture, regardless of their origin, monster, high or low cultivation, all can follow the order of Zhenchong Prefecture!"
Amidst the panic, news kept coming: "Traces of hungry ghosts have appeared in Zhaoshui Village, eating food everywhere..." "He set up an altar, so I'll set up an even bigger one!"
"....""Those who offend the living in Ming Prefecture, kill!"
For a time, they looked at each other in dismay. Even the Unsated Cattle Sect disciples were speechless. This group of hungry ghosts was fierce, but if they fought head-on, with everyone working together, it wasn't impossible to resist slightly.
"Those who deceive the Yin souls of Ming Prefecture, kill!"
"What?"
Originally, he thought that this group of hungry ghosts would be like a hornet's nest, moving at the slightest touch, and attacking one after another, but he didn't expect that they had suffered two losses, and now their attitude had changed greatly, just shrinking back before the city of Ming Prefecture, unwilling to come out.
With that gust of Yin wind and baleful aura, it swept across the entire Ming Prefecture, and even included the method of Old Yin Mountain. The altars in various places had their Qi intertwined, like one body.
"Those who plunder the grain of Ming Prefecture, kill!"
The sound, accompanied by the gusts of Yin wind, suddenly spread throughout the villages and towns of Ming Prefecture, and the Yin souls in the air were mighty, scattered and coming, covering the sun, moon, and stars.
At this time, no one knew that in various places in Ming Prefecture, in villages, hamlets, hilltops, slopes, fields, and beside wells, one altar after another had been set up. Some were larger, some were smaller, some were more orderly, and some were simply a table with an incense burner.
"That noble person, it seems, is not dead."
All of a sudden, their hearts were full of oppression. It was naturally anxious for the other side to attack, but for the other side to not attack now made them even more incomprehensible.
Behind those shadows, each one was followed by a hungry ghost. They were dazed, confused, with a ghostly mist following, and wherever they passed, blessings were destroyed, and even the plants and trees seemed to be covered with a layer of decadence.
Whether it was Zhang A’gu, who had also found a place and earnestly set up an altar, or the First Aunt, who was taking a sedan chair to visit relatives and friends everywhere, they all heard the movement. One's face changed greatly, and her lips trembled slightly, while the other's pointed face blossomed with a smile.
"There are still... There are still several villages where no one is alive..." Everyone in the tent was shocked. They were still guarding Zhu Men Town, but Daliaang County was in the south of Ming Prefecture, seven or eight hundred *li* away from here. How could hungry ghosts suddenly appear and arrive there?
That military advisor Tie Zui Zi couldn't help but sigh and say, "In battle, you most hope to encounter this kind of impatient, mindless person. I used to think we encountered..." "Evil spirits cause disaster, stealing the blessings of your people, causing Yin and Yang to be disordered, and heaven and earth to be 重dual. I cannot see and cannot see."
For a time, in the wilderness, before the various altars, in the villages, all the ghost walkers and desolate foxes, and water lake spirits heard it, and a sound of surprise and panic resounded in the middle of the night.
Similarly, when altars scattered like stars covered the land of a prefecture, in the mountains and fields, in the deep valleys of streams, under the beds and trees, outside the grave windows and mounds, there were also many ghostly things. They shouldn't have easily shown their faces, but they were also summoned out by a mysterious voice.
He looked at the three incense sticks inserted behind him. The incense image, which was originally not bad, was now burning into an ominous shape, especially the incense, which was originally for the Red Lantern Lady to enjoy and was made with the most exquisite craftsmanship, but now, it was actually burning out wisps of white smoke, which was extremely strange.
...Then how to fight this battle? So, a rare hint of ferocity flashed across his face, and he suddenly raised his hand. The punisher's broadsword beside him suddenly flew into his hand, and then he stabbed it fiercely into the ground behind him.
"What's the panic?"
In Zhu Men Town, after Hu Ma finished speaking, he sneered and got up, heading straight for the Zhenchong strike gold: "The battle between ghost walkers is not so complicated, is it?" At this time, the expression on his face was very strange. When he got what he wanted, there was no joy.
