Chapter 931: Self-Knowledge

Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the wind is particularly noisy.

The west wind whimpered, and the pine waves of the stone forest through the canyon turned into the whistling sound of ghosts crying wolves.

The thousands of torches at the head of the city of Pudingbao were also swept by the firelight blown by the wind, illuminating the figures on the head of the city swaying, like demons dancing, which was particularly unsettling.

Even if tonight's 'Shallow Dede' ceremony was ten times more solemn than usual, it could not dispel this uneasiness.

As the King of Chu expected, after a day, the Puding tribesmen all knew about what happened last night. Many elderly people have lived for a long time and have never experienced such a grim situation.

People are speculating that something more terrible will happen tonight.

Many people were frightened to pack up their things, help the old and the young, and wanted to escape from the fort to hide, but they were stopped by the guards, saying that Tho Mu had an order and did not allow anyone to leave.

This provoked the anger of the clansmen, and even clashed with the guards, and finally Shir had to intervene himself, explaining bitterly that he would not let them leave because it was too dangerous outside.

After five times of 'shallow virtue', the safest is the safest. And tonight there will be a sacrifice of a hundred animals of the shallow virtue, this time the most solemn exorcism ceremony, will definitely make the hungry ghosts dare not approach.

The clansmen left their faith suspicious, but Shier's hand was not without problems.

She's officially certified, it was indeed haunted last night, and there's going to be a bigger hungry ghost tonight.

So although the tribesmen stayed, the uneasy atmosphere became heavier and heavier as the night fell, and finally turned into fear, clutching everyone's heart.

They are afraid, they are angry, they know they have done nothing, why should they suffer such a terrible punishment?

Then they naturally became angry with Shier, and put all the blame on her. While they waited anxiously for the arrival of the hungry ghost, they whispered indignantly:

"Everyone knows that Shuixi Thomu is a descendant of the Ghost King, but she helped the Mongols kill him."

"That's it, if you don't agree to the alliance, just don't let people come, why do you want to kill him?!"

"She will do whatever the Mongols tell her to do, is she a Mongol dog?"

"It's okay now, I've provoked the ghost king to be angry, and I've sent a hungry ghost to take revenge!"

"She still didn't let us go, but she deliberately asked us to bury her with ......" such discussions with extreme emotions came and went, and they couldn't be suppressed at all.

These words drifted to Shier's ears with the wind, and if she had been angry, she would have ordered the guards to whip these untouchables.

But the guards seem to be a little angry today, so it's better to have more than one thing.

She was now counting on Bi Mo's 'Shallow Dede' ritual to work and disperse the hungry ghosts.

As long as the hungry ghosts are dispelled, everything will be fine. If it can't be dispelled, then everything will be over, and there will be nothing to be angry about......

~~

But what Shier didn't know was that Bi Mo, who was pinned on by her, was the one who panicked the most.

Just like the people who sell steamed buns in later generations don't eat their own buns, and those who build buildings can't live in the buildings they build, only they know best what they have done to lack morality.

Bi Mo of the Puding Department also has a clear understanding of what level of his ritual is...... He has been fooling around since he was a child, and he is not good at learning, if it weren't for the tradition of Luo Luo's father and son, it would not be his turn to be this Bimo.

After so many years of being Bi Mo, he has never seen a ghost. When communicating with peers, listen to people catch a terrible ghost today, and talk to Zu Ling tomorrow, seeing ghosts is like a common thing, and he is ashamed to find a piece of tofu to die.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter if this business is a fool, anyway, the gods are chattering, and they can bluff people.

But he can't scare the ghost......

Naturally, the 'shallow virtue' he presided over is also purely fooling people, and it is useless at all!

While shouting and dancing with a sword, he secretly wept, regretting that he didn't learn from his father at the beginning, and he didn't know how to communicate with the ghost world. It's really a book that I hate when I use it.

But with a mask on his face, Shir could not see his tears of remorse, and there were high hopes for him......

At this moment, the crowd burst into exclamations: "Hungry ghosts, hungry ghosts!" ”

Bi Mo's heart tightened, and he knew that it was coming again.

He turned his head with difficulty, looked at the mouth of the canyon to the west, and sure enough, he saw one ghost fire after another, rushing out of the ghost gate, slowly drifting towards Puding Fort......

Screams came and went, and the castle in the lonely canyon was completely immersed in fear.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and finish the ceremony!" Shir screamed and ordered Bi Mo, eager to grab the sword and jump for him.

"Oh oh......" Bi Mo was completely confused, and hurriedly continued to dance his sword mechanically, letting out a frightened scream.

The people behind him who were holding the sacrifices were also jumping and jumping wildly, trying to scare the hungry ghosts away.

However, the hungry ghosts were unaffected, and their numbers grew more and more, forming a long line, and drifting straight towards Fort Puding.

"There are so many more ghosts today than there were yesterday!" Someone who saw yesterday's scene shouted: "The army of hungry ghosts is coming!" ”

"Help!"

"Don't......"

"Don't come here!" In the crowd, frightened cries came one after another, and then the children cried, and the women cried, and it became a pot of porridge.

Bi Mo was more afraid than others, and others could count on him, but he knew he couldn't. I was scared with a handful of snot and tears, I didn't know what I was doing there, I just stared at the western sky in horror, those hungry ghosts who were getting closer and closer.

At this time, he could see the appearance of the hungry ghosts, some green and some red, some blue and some purple, all with hideous faces and blood-red eyes.

And all the hungry ghosts, sure enough, floated upside down with their heads down.

The faintly beating ghost fire turned out to be their hair......

His string finally snapped, and the whole person froze there, dripping and urinating......

The people who followed him looked at each other, wondering what was going on with their Patronus.

"What's the water under Bimo's feet?"

"It can't be a scare to pee, right?"

"Nonsense......" Shi'er said angrily, "How could Bi Mo be scared to pee? He's mighty! ”

Before the words fell, he heard two sounds, and saw Bi Mo throw away the sword in his hand and flee off the city wall.

"Ah......h What happened to Bi Mo? ”

"Nonsense, it's definitely a run for your life!" The clansmen who reacted quickly threw down the paper figures and grass horses in their hands one after another, and also ran down the city wall.

"Stop them!" Shi'er hurriedly ordered the guards under the city wall at this time.

"The ritual is useless, run for your life!" However, the guards were not blind, they didn't listen to her at all, they threw down their weapons one after another, and had to quickly take their wives and children to escape, at this time, whoever ran fast could survive, and whoever ran slower would give someone someone else's back.

The behavior of these people was like pouring cold water on a hot oil pan, which instantly triggered a rout......
