Chapter 574: The Opening of the Zhenshou Mansion
High roof, black stone pillars, huge drums standing in the courtyard, and fire basins standing on all four sides.
On a high table, there is a dusty book on the left and a pot of command arrows on the right.
In front of the hall stood two rows of golden armored warriors, with a row of dark guillotines on the left and a rack full of gloomy and heavy shackles on the right.
When the gusts of cold wind rolled in, Hu Ma's shadow, which was already mysterious in the eyes of the people around him, became even more hazy, as if he had disappeared directly.
The next moment, when everyone looked again, they only saw his shadow appearing in this tall hall, holding a mace and walking to the incense table, and slowly sitting down. At the same moment, the huge drum in the mansion was hit by the golden armored warriors holding hammers, and the evil spirit surged instantly.
The violent and fierce cold wind rolled in and blew onto the plaque hanging in front of the tall hall.
It was as if there was a thick layer of dust, which slowly peeled off under the wind, and the words on the plaque became clear, almost like a kind of heavy feeling deeply engraved in the bones, as if it was seen by someone, and as if it was just remembered again.
"Zhensui Mansion!"
"..."
It appeared!
As early as the four hall officials appeared, there was a mysterious nobleman from the direction of Laoyin Mountain, and the golden armored warriors carried the coffin and mysteriously appeared behind this battle formation, which had already made countless people tremble.
And now, when the shadow of this high hall appeared on the battlefield, countless ghosts and monsters in the field suddenly felt a great pressure coming.
For a while, I only felt that my soul was excited, my knees were weak, and I wanted to kneel down in a daze.
This was not because someone in the Zhensui Mansion asked them to kneel, but because the official power was too heavy, and the aura of punishment lingered in their hearts.
Those who had done something wrong were already hairy in their hearts, as if their heads were no longer on their necks. Those who had not done anything wrong...
... Rare!
So the knees really didn't listen and insisted on kneeling.
However, just when they really listened to their hearts and knelt on the ground one by one, a voice suddenly shouted coldly in the Zhenshou Mansion, which was difficult to distinguish whether it was true or false, and suddenly shook into everyone's hearts:
"No kneeling!"
"..."
The voice came from the Zhenshou Mansion. Even if it was just an ordinary speech, it carried a majesty that people could not violate:
"Innocent people will not be punished if they don't kneel, and guilty people will not be spared if they kneel!"
"..."
The voice spread and instantly flooded into the hearts of countless soldiers and strangers in the field, and for a moment, their already soft knees were shocked and straightened a little.
Before their brains understood why we only wanted to kowtow to get close to this Zhenshou Mansion that we had not seen for a long time, but you didn't allow people to kneel, their bodies had already subconsciously obeyed and didn't dare to kneel down.
Among the countless people, there were quite a few disciples who did not eat cattle. When they heard these words, they were shocked:
"Oh..."
"Could it be that the young master of the Hu family is really one of our own?"
"..."
"..."
And just when they were shocked and did not know what to say, they saw the Zhensui Mansion appear. A hazy and blurred figure walked straight into the mansion and sat in front of the incense table. He only said two sentences. One was that he was not allowed to kneel. The second sentence was that he had already drawn a command arrow from the command arrow pot on the incense table in front of him. Without even looking at it, he threw it directly to the hall.
Everything was just a hazy and chaotic thing, just a phantom, even if this phantom could suppress thousands of soldiers and horses and make them unable to raise their heads.
But that was also illusory, but when this command arrow was thrown into the hall, people could clearly hear the sound of it falling to the ground.
And at the same moment, among the four hall officials standing behind the military formation, Aunt Zhang was also looking at the shadow of the Zhensui Mansion with excitement and awe.
Compared to the shock of others at this moment, because she had seen it once before, the excitement in her heart overwhelmed the shock. That time, the Zhensui Mansion was born, and the five evil gods who had tortured her for so long got their retribution, and the statues were beheaded.
But Aunt Zhang never thought it was an honor.
The Zhensui Mansion that disappeared for 20 years was opened only for herself, which was not a blessing in her eyes.
She only hoped that the Zhensui Mansion could be opened, not only for herself, but also for the people, for those who have been wronged in the world.
It was precisely because of this expectation in her heart that she, who had only walked among the people and was used to such a simple life, placed the token that fell out of the Zhensui Mansion on her own incense table when she got it.
It's not that she couldn't notice that the evil spirit on the token was so heavy that even the chickens raised at home stopped laying eggs because of it, but she knew that if the Zhensui Mansion was opened, someone would need to work, and she was willing to take on this task.
It was the same at this time. Seeing the Zhensui Mansion truly open before everyone, and seeing the shopkeeper... that nobleman, truly walked into the Zhensui Mansion and sat at the desk, she was more excited than shocked.
At this time, Hu Ma threw down the token, and at the same time, the token in her hand also shook.
There were ghosts and gods in the dark, leaning over to her ears, whispering to her what to say, what to do, and what responsibilities to take, so she also tried to stop her legs from shaking and slowly walked forward.
She forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart and tried to use official language to replace her hometown accent: "Officials of the prefecture, please do not violate the boundaries, first take me to the Zhensui Mansion to be punished!"
After all, for her, such occasional words were reluctant, so her voice was not loud.
But under the majesty of the Zhensui Mansion, the evil spirit surged, but this sentence had an unquestionable power. I don’t know how many people in the room were frightened when they heard this sentence: "When the Zhensui Mansion opens, the first thing is to capture the governor of a state?"
Now, the governor of Guanzhou has not been defeated yet!
He was invited to Mingzhou, and his divine power was overwhelming, but the altar was set up by the ghost of Mingzhou first, suppressing the magic power on the altar.
He was also suppressed by the mysterious and fierce General Yin on the battlefield, and his magic power was not used.
But the altar in Mingzhou is still there, and the governor of Guanzhou is still there. This is not a lonely ghost. How can he be captured just by saying "take it"?
Even if you change that word to "please", it seems that you will look better?
But there is no time for people to think about it. As the sesame token was thrown, the Zhensui Mansion suddenly blew a rolling gloomy wind, and the two rows of golden armored warriors who stood silently in the mansion, the two in front, suddenly flashed with golden light.
Then, with heavy footsteps, they stepped out of the mansion, and walked side by side, straight through the oppressive battlefield and headed straight for Mingzhou City.
With a "bang", the gate facing the south of Mingzhou City opened loudly.
The Zhensui Mansion always went through the main gate to arrest people.
Even if these two golden armored warriors seemed to be able to step over the city wall and climb over the city wall easily.
But that wouldn't work, it was not right, they had to go in through the main gate.
"Huh!"
Just as these two golden armored warriors entered the city, there was a loud noise, and the billowing incense smoke in the city suddenly dissipated, and the cold and oppressive feeling that had enveloped the people of Mingzhou City for several days also disappeared instantly.
The six talismans located in various places in Mingzhou City broke and cracked at the same time, and fell to the ground powerlessly, and the plaque of Mingzhou Mansion fell to the ground.
Then, the incense table in the center of the city, where three kinds of livestock and six kinds of animals were offered, was blown down by the strong wind.
The tokens inserted next to it were all torn into strips of cloth.
The man standing in front of the altar, the third uncle of the Hu family, shouted and jumped up, but he was still in the air, as if he was pressed by a huge force, and fell to the ground, his face pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
It seemed that even the pupils of his eyes were dilated, and he just shouted unconsciously: "Can't..."
"You can't..."
"..."
But no one paid attention to him. At this moment, the people of Mingzhou City, whether they were asleep or awake, heard the footsteps like thunder.
In the haze, it seemed that two golden armored warriors, three feet tall, came side by side to the tallest building in the city, stretched out their hands, stepped on the gloomy wind with rolling evil spirits, stretched out their golden giant hands, and took something from the building.
There was the clay statue of the Lord of Guanzhou.
"How dare you do that?"
Facing the mighty evil wind blowing in from outside the city, the other two uncles of the Hu family on the high building did not see the appearance of the golden-armored warrior.
It was not because they had low cultivation, but because they knew the Zhensui Mansion too well and knew that they could not see the golden-armored warrior. If they saw it, it would mean that their souls were suppressed, so they did not dare to resist in front of him.
So in their eyes, they only saw a gust of wind that blew open the city gate and blew up to the building.
Even in the wind, the sound of chains and shackles colliding could be heard.
They were just trembling in their hearts, but they also gritted their teeth and jumped up. One of them suddenly pulled a red cloth and covered the clay statue of the Guanzhou Lord inside. The other one came forward, raised his hands high, holding a document with the words "imperial seal" on it.
He shouted loudly: "This is the god appointed by the previous emperor, enjoying the incense and luck of the world, who dares to take him?"
Now they gritted their teeth and were determined to fight this battle. The Lord of Guanzhou Prefecture was different from the Five Evil Gods. Perhaps in terms of magic power, the two sides were not far apart, but the Five Evils were the guardian gods of the Hu family. If the Hu family wanted to expel them, they would expel them, and if they wanted to kill them, they would kill them.
And the Lord of Guanzhou Prefecture was here, and even if the Zhensui Mansion was powerful, how could it be reasonable to ignore the emperor's appointment and come directly to take him down?
How that person escaped the pressure of the aura of General Tianming was not yet clear, but now he was openly blocking him.
But as they shouted loudly, outside the city, inside the Zhensui Mansion, a figure in the hall suddenly sneered: "What is the imperial title? What is that?"
"You have spent so much effort to come up with such a vicious method to settle a score with me, but unfortunately, you have been wrong from the beginning..."
"Today, I should let you understand what the Zhensui Mansion is..."
"..."
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and raised the Zhensui Golden Mace in his hand high.
