Chapter 547: Serving the Queen

"Eh? Why is there no movement again?"

In Zhumen Town, the Red Lantern Lady saw that she really couldn't hold on this time, and even the left protector was seriously considering escaping, but suddenly she saw that the resentment had inexplicably left the town again.

The resentful ghosts and evil spirits that had already rushed into Zhumen Town and surrounded and attacked Zhumen Town disappeared at the same time. If it weren't for the lanterns torn into pieces by the resentful ghosts, still scattered on the ground, people would think it was an illusion.

They didn't know how such a powerful vengeful ghost came from, and they didn't know how such a powerful vengeful ghost suddenly disappeared...

They only stared blankly at the red lanterns in the temple. It was impossible to describe the doubts in their hearts. It was as if they had just met the Red Lantern Lady for the first time...

"Is her usual timidity just pretended?"

The left protector Shen Hongzhi was suspicious: "She shouldn't have this ability..."

And Di Gu Shao was scratching his head, shaking his jade step-shake back and forth, but his eyes were full of suspicion: "She can withstand the first wave, that's all, but she can also withstand the second wave. The limit of this Red Lantern Lady is very high. Should we find a chance to test her in the future?"

In this confused atmosphere, Hu Ma sighed slowly, and sighed at Zhang Agu's cleverness and intelligence in his heart.

As the current master of the Zhensui Mansion, he knew that apart from the few people he had temporarily arranged to make up the numbers, Aunt Zhang, who had seen the Zhensui Mansion open for the first time with him and performed the ghost trial, was qualified.

And looking outside the town, he felt even more relaxed. In his eyes, this relative of his family seemed a little confused...

But even if she was confused, she should understand some things after getting to this point, right?

In his heart, he hoped that she could fight for it. The Zhensui Mansion should not be too low-key when it reopened. If they were not good enough, it would make him, the master of the Zhensui Mansion, feel a little embarrassed...

... Could it be that I would carry the Zhensui Golden Mace and go out to introduce myself to others, saying that I am the new master of the Zhensui Mansion?

... Who doesn't want face!

…

…

“Yes, sir!”

Outside the town, when the general Tianming said Baierfu’s name with a relaxed look, even the members of the Truth Church and several altar masters who followed him turned pale for a moment.

But after a long time, they still saluted the general Tianming and went to prepare immediately.

The night deepened, as if the world and everything were trapped in a deep nightmare. Only three miles away, in the town of Zhumen, the red lanterns still showed a little red light, but it was very far away from people.

And in this thick night, it is even more unknown how many people who are worried about the situation in Mingzhou are now completely confused. They don’t know what the Truth Church is doing this time and again, back and forth, over and over again.

They all live in Mingzhou. Even if they have never dealt with the Red Lantern Lady, they have at least heard some of her stories. How can they last so long in front of the Truth Church?

Some people even began to suspect that the Truth Church was deliberately playing tricks on the Red Lantern Lady in order to make her meritorious deeds appear great...

In their expectation, they found that after the Heavenly General gave the order, the hundreds of followers behind him came forward, took out white towels from their arms, and tied them on their foreheads, looking like they were wearing sackcloth and teaching.

In the middle of the circle, there was a black pot of unknown origin, which seemed to have never been washed, with obvious traces of blood fat on it. Those who wrapped white towels on their foreheads gathered in front of the pot and shed tears.

Around them, the green flags that should have become ordinary objects in theory were shaking again. The people who held the flags circled around them, slowly turning in circles, chanting some kind of spell at the same time, looking gloomy and weird.

As for those who were surrounding the black pot, someone suddenly took the lead and cried out loudly:

"My son, as a father, I shouldn't be mourning for you. I just pity that you died so tragically. I don't care about the seniority and come to pay tribute to you..."

"..."

With this person taking the lead, more crying followed. One by one, it sounded genuine. The sadness on their faces and the tears in their eyes didn't seem fake at all.

As they cried more and more, the person who cried first suddenly felt even more upset in his stomach. His body softened and he lay down on the side of the pot. He retched for a while, and a black, weird little ghost came out of his stomach.

Following that, others also vomited. One by one, the black shadows with terrifying evil spirits were vomited into the pot by them, and the sound of crying and screaming followed.

In the pot, evil spirits instantly steamed. People in the distance couldn't see clearly. They could only vaguely see that from time to time, black arms or arms stretched out to the edge of the pot, but were pulled down by something in the pot.

Hula la...

The banners around them fluttered without wind, and the temperature around them dropped suddenly, as if it had turned into the coldest month of winter.

Behind them, the people in the entire Mingzhou city felt cold all over, and there were many families who had ancestral tablets in their houses that suddenly became unstable and fell off the incense table, trembling and shaking.

Outside the city, the general of destiny just watched coldly, with a hint of madness and cruelty in his eyes, as if he saw the scene that had happened in Guanzhou, and it came back to him again.

Guanzhou had been suffering from hunger and famine several years ago.

This year, it reached its peak. The drought and famine, the fields were barren, and the people were living in poverty. They had to exchange their children for food and reopen the vegetable market.

The Truth Church responded to the situation and preached in Guanzhou, waiting for an opportunity to practice. When the elders of the church saw the people's hunger and suffering, they took a cauldron and admonished everyone in the church: "The people's suffering is heartbreaking. Since you are willing to do good for the people, how can you not sympathize with their suffering?"

"They cook their children and eat their daughters, why can't you? If you can't, how can you understand the truth of the world and save the troubled times?"

"..."

So, he took the lead and made a big pot, which was only for the people who were displaced and didn't even have a pot to cook their children. Although it was called the Hundred Children's Cauldron, how many children had been cooked?

But that's not all. After lending it to countless people, the elder gathered the followers, threw the children into the cauldron, and shouted to share the food with the people to understand the truth.

With him as the leader, the loyal followers all brought their children and threw them into the cauldron. They cooked a soup together and shared it. They all got great fortune.

Now the general of destiny wants to use this method to sacrifice the Hundred Children Cauldron again, borrow the magic power in the cauldron, break the many disasters set by the demons in Mingzhou, harm Mingzhou's life, and save the people in Guanzhou.

Those onlookers saw the followers of the Truth gathered together and knew that they were casting a spell, but they didn't know what spell they were casting. However, no matter how far away they were, the evil spirit that came was enough to make everyone feel frightened, and even hugged their heads, not daring to listen to the crying of the child.

But even if they covered their ears, the crying of the child would still come in.

Even though it was dozens of miles away from here, the crying of the child was still clearly audible, as if it was right next to him, right beside his ear, and hanging on his neck.

"After all, he used this evil thing in Mingzhou..."

Not far away, the people in the sedan chair seemed to be unable to bear the evil spirit and evil nature in the cauldron, and ordered the sedan bearer to go a little further away, and then sighed softly: "The ghosts have always hated this thing the most, it would be better if he used it..."

"If he uses it, my cousin will show up, right?"

"But..."

She ordered the maid beside the sedan chair: "Send a letter to the altar and tell the three uncles that the things here are no longer something that a junior like me can suppress."

"Please ask them, including that adult, to come here to preside over the situation!"

"..."

"..."

"What on earth is that thing?"

When countless babies and children cried, the people in Zhumen Town suddenly felt their scalps numb.

This scene was too weird. They didn't even understand how the Red Lantern Lady escaped the last two arrests. Now the noise was even scarier than the previous two times, as if countless crying babies suddenly appeared around the town.

In the invisible shadows, there were strange shadows crawling back and forth, and pairs of extremely hungry eyes stared at every piece of meat on their bodies.

Left Protector Shen Hongzhi didn't even know what it was, but her instinctive fear instantly overwhelmed her. All of a sudden, the hair on her body exploded, and she jumped up quickly, obeying her instinct to escape immediately.

And the Red Lantern Lady in the temple was also shining red, but she was urging and shouting, just wanting the Left Protector not to abandon herself here.

‘At worst, I can just pick up my life lantern and leave. I don’t want this temple anymore…’

‘…’

But they didn’t expect that when they heard the cry, the little shopkeeper who came from Qingshi Town and had almost zero presence suddenly sighed, lifted up his robe, and slowly stood up.

“Go ahead…”

Di Gu Shao took a glimpse and immediately said, “…Little shopkeeper, what are you going to do?”

“Of course, I’m going out to help the Red Lantern Goddess!”

Hu Ma reached out and entered the ox cart, took out the ghost-headed sword that was still in the sheath, tucked it under his arm, and smiled, “I said I was here to help, it’s not good to watch the show here all night?”

“You…”

The left protector reacted, looking at Hu Ma’s indifferent look, it was a little hard to understand: ‘This kid is so stupid? ’

But because of Hu Ma’s demeanor, he couldn’t really say anything for a while, then he saw Hu Ma took the knife, but turned his head to look at him, and said: "Protector, I saw you wearing a smiley mask earlier, it looks pretty good, can you lend it to me?"

The left protector was shocked by his demeanor, and subconsciously said: "It’s in the room... You... What are you going to do?"

Hu Ma walked straight into her room and said with a smile: "These people only bully us Mingzhou without people, and dare to use all kinds of witchcraft and evil magic here. Do you really think there are no rules here?"
