Twilight Boundary

"When did the Red Light Club become so generous?"

Looking at Manager Xu's serious face, Hu Ma was startled.

Normally, Manager Xu couldn't make the decision in this kind of thing, especially when there were incense burners and red lantern empress following behind him.

However, the incense burners never paid attention to the secular affairs of these meetings, and the Red Lantern Lady ignored them even more. Manager Xu immediately realized that this was a good opportunity, and did it in front of the Red Lantern Lady without even going back to the city to ask for instructions. Let's settle this matter.

Of course, you can’t ask for permission even if you want to. Master Zheng Daxiang is missing, and the seat in charge of this matter is vacant...

Hu Ma was overjoyed for a while, and Manager Xu was also quite happy.

Even the lantern held by the incense burner seemed to finally feel relieved and was quietly extinguished. The Red Lantern Lady left.

Only Yang Gong, who was standing next to him with his arms folded, glanced at Hu Ma with an expression of hatred:

"This stupid brother actually dares to step out of Zhuangzi's affairs at this time. He doesn't even know what he has been through..."

"You have saved your face for me now, but you almost lost your life, you know?"

"..."

After standing at the door of Zhuangzi and talking for a while, Hu Ma hurriedly invited Manager Xu and others to come in. However, the incense burner who had not dismounted outside saw that the red lantern was extinguished and did not even say a word to Hu Ma, so he turned his horse around. head away.

Hu Ma hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to stay or not. Manager Xu said, "Just let them go and do their work. They have important things to do this time."

Hu Ma said: "Then should we let them eat in the village?"

Manager Xu smiled and said: "It's up to us to control them. Their incense burners never eat with the shopkeepers in Zhuangzi."

"Sometimes they don't even need to eat, as long as they have incense."

"..."

"I'm afraid he looks like the boy in green. After staying with evil spirits for a long time, he looks more like a ghost than a human being..."

Hu Ma nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She just hurriedly greeted Manager Xu to come in, but even Yang Gong had to follow the incense burner.

As soon as I entered Zhuangzi, I saw Xiao Hongtang holding down a little devil.

The kid hugged his head and didn't fight back. When Hu Ma entered the village, he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Hu, good luck!"

"What's going on?"

Hu Ma hurriedly stepped forward and pulled away, and gave the lame kid a piece of meat.

The lame kid happily hugged the piece of green food and ran out of Zhuangzi to chase Yang Gong.

But it turned out that the queen was here just now, so it didn't dare to show up to ask for rewards, so it hid in the village and waited for the queen to leave. However, this village is Xiao Hongtang's territory. It didn't even pay a visit to Sister Hongtang, so it hid here. So he received a heavy punch from Xiao Hongtang.

"Senior Brother Yang, this little messenger is also famous in the club..."

Manager Xu watched the lame kid running out of the village with a wry smile: "Earlier, someone even brought blood food to tease the kid, but now he doesn't dare to do it, for fear that Senior Brother Yang Gong will get angry. "

"But Senior Brother Yang Gong used to complain every day, but now he can use it smoothly. I thought about changing him to another one before, but he wouldn't let me change it. He just said that he would just make do with it for now..."

"..."

"Yang Gong has finally managed to survive..."

Hu Ma sighed in her heart. Earlier, she felt that her progress was not slow, but in today's Red Lantern Club, Yang Gong is better than herself.

I already have the qualifications to act alone with the Incense Burner and the Red Lantern Lady.

It's just that these incense burners and the red lantern lady came to this village, but they didn't stay or eat. Where did they go?

As he talked, he entered the inner courtyard. Manager Xu also saw the waiters in Zhuangzi. He saw several people with colorful clothes on their bodies and wrapped them like rice dumplings. He also guessed how big this thing was before. In the past few days in Zhuangzi, What kind of risks have you experienced?

After entering the inner courtyard and sitting down, he whispered the truth to Hu Ma: "Nephew Hu, I'm not telling you, you really escaped a big disaster this time!"

"Isn't this simple?"

Hu Ma cooperated with him and showed an expression that even I noticed.

"Isn't it simple?"

Manager Xu lowered his voice and said: "Some people we don't dare to think about are involved. Otherwise, why would you think that the green-clothed devil with such a great ability would disappear without even saying a word?"

"Even if it were our mother-in-law, it would be easy to fight this green-robed evil spirit in person, but it would be difficult to kill him. Who would have guessed that such an expert could be hiding in our Mingzhou Prefecture? ?”

"yes……"

Seeing his solemn look, Hu Ma could only sigh: "Who could have guessed?"

"Now, the rules in the Red Lantern Club have to be changed."

Manager Xu added: "As soon as this matter was over, the empress issued an order that the temple in Zhumen Town would start to be built. From now on, all the clerks in the villages must strictly abide by the rules and be kind to others. Whenever they cause trouble, Come, I will be severely punished."

"When I come here this time, I also want to pray to the gods in the four directions, and I am determined to receive incense and make great wishes for the benefit of the people around me..."

"..."

"Pray to the gods from all directions?"

Hu Ma felt a little strange. She was so evil. What god could she pray to? She just took the incense burner, Yang Gong and others away in such a hurry. Could there be something else?

While chatting with each other, they are now outside Zhuangzi, near Laoyin Mountain.

The incense burner rode a horse that had been specially trained not to neigh and be frightened at night, and silently arrived at an open space as if blending into the night.

They were all silent, including Hongxiang disciple Yang Gong and others who were following behind. They all felt great pressure and closed their mouths one by one, feeling the heavy darkness of the night.

I walked silently until I saw a red lantern lit in the field ahead. The surroundings were dark, only the light of the red lantern was dimly shining. On both sides of the lantern, sat a man wearing a red robe and wearing a hat on his face. with smiling face and crying face masks.

When the incense burner saw them, he reined in his horse and raised the lantern in his hand high.

The red light in the lantern was originally dim and could only emit a weak light, but now that it was picked up, the light gradually grew stronger and spread in all directions, gradually illuminating a strange and blood-red land, as if it was dyed with blood. A space emerged.

The expression and eyes of the incense burner became more serious and depressed, and he began to recite strange spells in his mouth.

"The two guardians are actually waiting here?"

Yang Gong and others who were following behind had not yet recited the spell, but they could only follow, closing their eyes and feeling the magic in the spell.

He didn't know why the Red Lantern Empress came here. He only knew that only a loyal Hongxiang disciple like himself, who was appreciated by the Empress, was qualified to follow her. His palms were soaked with sweat for a while.

Is it time to show your loyalty to your empress again?

Yang Gong has never doubted himself, because he went from being a street kid who couldn't eat enough to having his eyes gouged out by Hanako and was thrown into the street to beg for food. Then when he was walking in the city, he would call out "Yang" when everyone was afraid of him. Uncle Gong's identity depends entirely on his loyalty to the Red Lantern Empress.

Therefore, no matter who the empress's opponent is, she dares to take the lead.

If you die, you will die. If you don't die, you will become a career.

So, now that the empress has come to this quiet and uninhabited place, she only brought her close confidants, and the two guardians are waiting here in advance. What are they doing?

He couldn't help but think of the rumor. Previously, there were troubles in various places in Mingzhou Prefecture, and the Red Lantern Lady strictly ordered no one under her to come out. It wasn't until later that she heard that a powerful person took action and eliminated the evil ghost in blue.

Could it be that the empress was just looking for him?

It seems that today is another tough battle...

Yang Gong wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes, clenched the nails hidden in his belt, and gritted his teeth.

The more urgent the spell is, the brighter the red light becomes. The strange light seems to turn this place into a hell-like space. You can even see that this strange red light seems to come to life.

Squeezing and intertwining in the night, they vaguely transformed into the appearance of a slender and graceful woman in palace clothes. She appeared lightly on the wide ground. Her figure was ethereal and illusory. Looking down into the darkness, she felt like she was dominating the world. .

That is Yang Gong, who has sworn allegiance to the supreme Red Lantern Empress since he joined the Red Lantern Club.

Even as a disciple of Hongxiang, Yang Gong had never seen the Red Lantern Queen appear several times. Every time he saw it, his heart was shaken and he couldn't help himself.

No matter who the empress wants to deal with this time, she will be the one to deal with it...

...Then when Yang Gong was thinking excitedly, he saw the Red Lantern Lady appearing in the darkness, and then, suddenly, like a willow swinging in the wind, she knelt down domineeringly.

"?"

Yang Gong's eyes widened for a moment.

I saw the Red Lantern Empress heading towards Laoyin Mountain. That’s not right. She was not heading towards Laoyin Mountain. It seemed that she was just kneeling towards this place. Her voice was soft and ethereal. It was difficult for a stranger to hear her words clearly. But as a person, Hongxiang, he could still vaguely distinguish a few words.

It seems to be something like "if you don't know that the sacred is here, you will offend many people", "the Meng family's incense order must be followed when building a temple", "do good deeds wholeheartedly and accumulate merit" and other similar words.

"Mother, it's almost done."

The Red Lantern Lady knelt down and worshiped for a long time before the smiling mask of one of the two protectors whispered: "If the nobles are here, they have heard it. To be on the safe side, these nobles must go wherever they may be." What's wrong..."

"After going through this experience, even if you are not in these places, you must have understood your sincerity..."

"..."

Only then did the Red Lantern Lady agree. She stood up reluctantly, her figure became lighter, and she returned to the lantern, but suddenly the light of the lantern became slightly brighter, as if she remembered something important again.

The incense burner seemed to have a strange expression when he heard her words.

The two guardians who had been waiting here were silent for a long time, and then the smiling mask said: "That's right. It's better to be careful. Don't let the little shopkeeper in Qingshi Town ruin your reputation by talking nonsense."

Yang Gong felt numb for a moment after hearing this...

The Red Lantern Lady didn't come here to see some so-called expert. She came here in the middle of the night to...make a guarantee?

This scene had a huge impact on Yang Gong.

Originally I didn't want to update more today. I have a cold and a bit of a fever, but after all, it's the end of the month, so I'll update first. I'll take cephalosporins and take a nap to see if it can alleviate some of the pain. Then I'll continue typing when I wake up.
