Chapter 1 Transmigration Disaster

Shadows crawled out of the elixir furnace, meeting the reincarnated ones in Shangjing City.

They exuded an indescribable aura of evil and ferocity, like dark clouds pressing down on everyone's hearts.

"What the hell is that?"

The reincarnated who first came into contact with these black shadows were startled. They played the role of gods, dispelling evil and reveling in the joy of redeeming others, but they never expected such a creepy aura to suddenly appear in their hearts.

They looked up sharply and saw pale faces and wooden eyes, and people they never expected to see.

Bai Putao (White Wine) was the first to change color. When she saw the figures appearing at the end of the long street, her face was as pale as paper.

It was Nu Er Hong (Daughter's Red), Dieda Jiu (Trauma Wine), Daohua Xiang (Rice Flower Fragrance)...

These reincarnated had clearly been sealed with paper money by Digua Shao (Sweet Potato Liquor) and placed in iron coffins, waiting to be properly interrogated after the affairs here were completed.

But they never expected that these four people would now appear unscathed before them.

Her own magic was placed in the iron coffins. If they broke out of the coffins, she would definitely sense it in advance, but she didn't. The four who had been sealed appeared so well.

The same was true for other reincarnated.

Someone was dancing the Yangge dance when they suddenly realized that the surrounding锣鼓 luo gu (gong and drum) sounds had disappeared, becoming silent. Suddenly, they heard the clear and hoarse sound of a wooden window opening and closing. A pale face with blood flowing from its features slowly emerged from the window.

This scared them out of their wits, and they even missed a step in the Yangge dance.

Some people came to the open space in the city, intending to clear away the evil spirits on the opposite street, but suddenly found that rolling black fog had descended, making it impossible to see their fingers. The streets, crowds, and companions all disappeared.

The only thing clear was the sound of huge stones grinding in front of them. They mustered up their courage and looked forward, and immediately saw an unimaginable scene of horror.

It was a huge stone mill. Beside the stone mill were strangely shaped demons, blindfolded, pushing hard.

On top of the stone mill was a little girl with only half of her body exposed, her face pieced together, her disordered features showing a background of pain, but her expression was strangely smiling.

Between the stone mills below were broken faces, giggling, trying to poke their heads out of the stone mill, shaking their heads, and then quickly being rolled back in.

In that instant, the reincarnated, who were used to doing whatever they wanted, all saw nightmare-like scenes.

Some were tied to pillars, with raging flames burning their bodies. Some had nails hammered into their eyes, ears, and mouths, making荷荷 hehe (rasping) sounds. Some covered their mouths and kept vomiting black, sticky liquid.

"What is that?"

Even Hu Ma, who was in front of the incense table, was suddenly startled and looked up sharply.

"They are the reincarnated who have already died..."

Er Guotou's (Two-Pot Head's) voice sounded behind Hu Ma. He was also trembling, in disbelief: "The reincarnated are seeing ghosts..."

For twenty years, the reincarnated had acted in a low-key manner, living in the shadows, but many reincarnated had still been discovered and killed by various means.

Because the reincarnated were unable to form effective contact, it was difficult to count how many people there were, but everyone knew a few people who they used to be able to call, but one day, they suddenly stopped responding.

They also occasionally heard that a reincarnated had been discovered somewhere, or tortured to death by attempted exorcism methods, or poisoned to death secretly, or thrown into a stone mill to be ground to death.

Some had only mechanical and indifferent faces left, while others retained the tragic state they were in before their deaths.

They wailed and floated in Shangjing City, approaching every reincarnated who was helping to perform this ritual. They didn't speak, but voices emerged in the reincarnated's minds:

"You have failed the divine grace, you deserve eternal punishment!"

"..."

This was the first time the reincarnated truly felt fear.

They, who were usually accustomed to joking and cursing, and treating the world as a game, were overwhelmed by invisible fear at this moment.

It wasn't that no one immediately rushed to resist, but they suddenly found that their bodies seemed to be somewhat disobedient. The voices in their minds were layered upon layered, densely packed, causing their brains to be chaotic.

And the natal spirit temples that they were usually proud of and could always protect their souls had actually begun to become unstable under the impact of this sound, and even cracks had appeared.

For the first time, they realized in horror that their natal spirit temples seemed to have the possibility of being destroyed.

The statues behind the incense tables in the natal spirit temples became more and more real as they came into contact with more Zi Tai Sui (Purple Grand Dukes), and even grew flesh and blood. However, because most of the reincarnated were still shallow in their cultivation, this flesh and blood had not yet grown, only appearing strange and real.

But now, the statues in these natal spirit temples had begun to struggle, as if attracted by something.

They released their divine consciousness, wanting to control the reincarnated and make them submit to the things under the ground.

In this struggle of various pains, many reincarnated had even become uncontrollable, their toes unknowingly leaving the ground and floating into the air. All kinds of tearing pain, from the inside out, were like another self waking up inside their bodies.

"So, so we are really the Grand Duke's apostles..."

Among these countless reincarnated, Er Guotou (Two-Pot Head) seemed to be one of the least affected.

Probably because his natal spirit temple was too solid.

But even so, he closed his eyes, and could see from his eyelids...it was the Grand Duke. Before being awakened by that voice, we knew nothing..."

"We were originally the Grand Dukes, we should have taken back the sacrifices, we forgot the past, we have failed the divine grace..."

"..."

"Old brother, this is not the time to think about these things..."

At this moment, listening to his chaotic murmurs, Hu Ma didn't have time to investigate in detail, and reminded him in a deep voice, containing thunderous sound.

Suppressing this thing, one would not know how many strange things one would encounter, but he was prepared.

He had also suspected earlier what kind of ability the National Master had to dare to say that he could catch all the reincarnated in one fell swoop with a ritual, but now, he realized that this was actually possible.

Even he didn't expect that the city's seven ghost altars were pressing down on the current Shangjing City.

Even the people in this city, although disturbed by evil spirits, had their toes firmly on the ground, walking with half a foot on the ground.

But the reincarnated couldn't suppress it and still floated up.

It was as if the reincarnated were not originally people of this world, and they instinctively wanted to return when they encountered that thing.

If one wanted to investigate in detail, one would not know how many truths one could find, but now, it was still important to solve the problem first.

"Now..."

His words, carrying thunderous sound, awakened Er Guotou (Two-Pot Head). He breathed heavily and looked at Hu Ma, revealing a look of inquiry.

Hu Ma shouted in a deep voice: "It's now!"

Er Guotou (Two-Pot Head) also hardened his heart, gritted his teeth fiercely, and the command flags in his sleeves flew out one after another. These command flags were his most beloved treasures, used to set up altars, and were much faster than ordinary ghost walkers.

But this time, he didn't use the command flags to set up an altar, but used them as a guide. He threw out the command flags, wrapped them in a circle, and after they landed around him, he lifted up his other hand.

A thing appeared in his palm, it was the Yin-Yang Erjing Pan (Yin-Yang Two Scenery Plate), the treasure of the ghost walking sect.

"Covering the sky and earth, reversing yin and yang, all the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, obey my orders!"

In the midst of the shout, huge oil lamps suddenly lit up all around Shangjing City. These oil lamps were actually huge iron pots filled with chanted sesame oil, and thick稔子 renzi (Melastoma candidum) were soaked in the oil lamps, lit by the Bao Liang Jun (Grain Protection Army) heads outside the city.

The lamps lit up, the altar formed!

Er Guotou (Two-Pot Head) stood in the altar, barely supporting himself to cast the spell, while Hu Ma was in front of the incense table, acting as a镇物 zhenwu (talisman).

Just like when he used to set up an altar, the Mountain Lord would come to personally be his鎮物 zhenwu (talisman).

This was recorded in the Zhen Sui Shu (Book of Suppressing the Grand Dukes), strange and weird, only with the methods, but without leaving behind any subsequent records.

Because the people who jointly created this altar had died immediately after using this method once, and did not have time to leave behind records.

Outsiders naturally did not know whether this altar was easy to use or how powerful it was.

But Er Guotou (Two-Pot Head) and Hu Ma still decided to prepare this method as a supplement to the Zhen Sui (Suppressing the Grand Dukes) ritual. In addition, they also knew that as long as this method was useful, it would prove that their guess was correct.

The first generation of reincarnated had once used this method to jointly deal with strange things similar to those under Shangjing City, and judging from the subsequent twenty years of stability, they had succeeded.

"Jieshou Yinyang Fengtian Qingshen Tan (Boundary Guardian Yin-Yang Obeying Heaven Inviting Gods Altar)!"

"..."

Following Er Guotou's (Two-Pot Head's) loud shout, the flames in the fire basins around Shangjing City shot up more than ten丈 zhang (3.3 meters) high.

The entire Shangjing City seemed to be as bright as day.

Hu Ma gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, now he had seven ghost altars on his back, and the weight of his steps was indescribable.

Boom!

Unfathomable mana rumbled, and the entire Shangjing City became the content of this altar.

Naturally, this also included all the people in Shangjing City.

Er Guotou (Two-Pot Head) took the peach wood sword thrown by Hu Ma in the shout and slapped it hard on the ground.

Pa!

Every time he slapped it, the bodies of the reincarnated who had already floated up in Shangjing City sank a little.

After three consecutive slaps, the reincarnated were already standing on solid ground, and the formless murmurings in their minds seemed to disappear a lot.

They woke up as if from a dream and looked around in horror.

"You continue to play your games, you can't lose face in this first official appearance..."

Er Guotou's (Two-Pot Head's) voice was transmitted to the ears of all the reincarnated through the altar, and he himself glanced at Hu Ma from afar, nodded slightly, and then suddenly gritted his teeth, raised the peach wood sword, and vigorously stabbed in all four directions of Shangjing City.

Finally, he pointed to the location of the Wang Family Pharmacy in the middle of Shangjing City, that is, the location of the flesh and blood elixir furnace.
