Before dawn, Lorraine Hill woke up from his dream. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep suddenly, but there was a loud noise coming from the shrine.
After listening carefully for a while, Lorraine Hill stopped sleeping and stood up from the bed.
First, he put on his blue skirt, then put on a black coat, and then walked out of the yard. During this period, the two birds on the wooden frame also woke up, but Lorraine Hill comforted them a little.
, and let the two of them continue to sleep, so they didn’t follow them out.
Walking into the forest path behind the shrine, the girl could see the shrine in front of her was brightly lit, and there were also many voices coming from inside.
"Lord Ge Luo, our village was attacked yesterday, and many people died. Wuwu..." A whimpering voice sounded.
"We are the same. My family lives in a small town in the west. There used to be nearly a thousand people in the town. Now, I'm afraid there are less than a hundred people alive..." Another person's voice sounded.
In these twilight mountains, these Uchi tribes do not have any actual rulers. They live in villages and towns on weekdays. Whenever festivals or important events happen, they will come to the shrine in the valley to discuss things.
Nowadays, many villages and towns have been hit by disasters, and they have nowhere to turn to. The only person who can relieve their sadness and sadness is this respected witch.
"well....."
The girl was about to step onto the wooden stairs next to the shrine when she heard Grandma Grotto sighing from among them, and she seemed to be sad about her helplessness.
Gently lifting the bamboo curtain on the side of the shrine, a beautiful girl dressed in black walked into everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, everyone in the hall was filled with sadness and had no intention of admiring this peerless girl.
"Is Jia Lan here?" Granny Ge Luo turned around and asked.
"Yes." A response came from the face under the gauze, and then the girl softly sat next to Granny Gro, as if she wanted to share some of her sorrows with her.
"I'm afraid I have to trouble you again recently." Grandma Gro said, seeming to be thinking about something.
Soon after, she summoned a ghost-faced man in black who was kneeling on the edge of the shrine and whispered a few words into his ear. Soon after, the man retreated.
Seeing this, Granny Grotto patted her hands to silence the voices in the hall for the time being.
"I know that there have been many attacks by ghosts and monsters recently. It is also a troubled time now, and I am afraid that there will be no peace for a long time." She spoke slowly, and everyone below listened attentively.
"After that, I will notify each village and town and let everyone gradually gather together to resist the attacks of ghosts and monsters. In addition, I will also gather all the ghost-slaying envoys scattered around and concentrate their strength to clean them several times. This will also
It’s safer.”
"You go back to organize the rest of the affairs first. Bring the things that can be used in the village and town. Come to the valley first, and let's spend this year together."
"Yes, Miko-sama."
Seeing Granny Geluo's orders, everyone seemed to have a backbone. Although Granny Geluo is now average in strength, before the world changed, she was the most powerful witch in the Ximu Mountains. She served for nearly sixty years, and the elders of all tribes were
She watched her grow up, so until now, this witch-mother-in-law still has very high prestige and appeal among the Aristocratic clan.
After that, these people from the remote villages and towns dispersed one by one, and the hall temporarily returned to silence, but Granny Grotto still did not stand up at this moment, as if she was waiting for something.
Not long after, a group of people in black robes walked in quickly. They all wore wooden evil ghost masks and held long knives at their waists.
After entering the hall, these people knelt down on one knee, and then the leader asked: "What are your orders, Miko-sama?"
Lorraine Hill tilted his head curiously. These people are all practitioners of the Nine Nether Path (Necromancer Sequence). Their strength ranges from Necromancer Sequence 3-4, and three of them have reached the Necromancer Sequence.
5.
"The current situation in Yama Luo Mountain is not good, and we need your help to clean it up. But the first priority right now is to protect the evacuated villagers and let them reach the valley safely."
"These villages are located in various places. You are divided into four groups and go there one by one. Also, be careful not to spread the team further. The current situation is a bit special. If we spread it out, we may not be strong enough and there will be heavy casualties. Alas..."
"No, I'll understand." Everyone below responded in unison, and then the silence immediately returned.
"Jialan." Grandma Grotto suddenly called out Lorraine Hill's name.
"What's the matter, mother-in-law?"
"You can also lead a team, so I can feel more at ease."
I don't know whether he was worried about Lorraine Hill or the other team members, but these words made the men in black clothes below focus their attention on this girl.
"Ah, me, okay." Although it was a bit sudden, the girl still agreed.
"After repairing for a while, let's set off." Seeing this, Grandma Ge Luo also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
"yes."
——————
On the border of Xiyouzhou, in the small town of Youcen.
Not long after dawn, two people rode out of the city and headed towards the dusk mountains shrouded in dark fog.
On the dry and cold ground, gravel and soil were mixed together. After being stepped on by the hooves of passing horses, a few stones and smoke were brought up.
The two people who were on the road were a little tired after running fast all morning, and their speed gradually slowed down.
"How far is it from that shrine?" one of the women in green asked.
"What this gentleman doesn't know is that we have just left the border not long ago. Even if the journey is smooth and there are no obstacles, it will still take three days to get there. Not to mention that we will encounter many monsters and evil spirits along the way, as well as mountain roads.
It’s difficult, I’m afraid it will be a blessing to arrive in a week.” A man in white wearing a sword answered next to him.
"Does it actually take so long? It only took me seven days to get here from Luojing." The woman's voice was cold, as if she didn't believe it.
The man in white next to him was not in a hurry to refute, but continued to ask.
"May I ask how the girl got here?"
"Of course we came here in a giant boat."
"Is it the Hanshan giant boat from Yixingmen?" the man asked
"That's right, it seems you don't know anything about the outside world." The woman in Tsing Yi turned her head in surprise.
"Oh, although I grew up in the border area, I am not unlearned or unskilled. Girl, please don't look down on the people of the world too much." He shook his head slightly, ignoring the woman's gaze and continued.
"Hanshan's giant boat floats across the sea, ignoring all kinds of terrain and monsters. It has on-site craftsmanship, so it is naturally very fast. But here we are riding horses and walking, and the speed cannot be one-tenth of that, so naturally we can't go faster.
"
"Besides, the road may not be peaceful, drink!" Before the man could finish his words, he jumped up from his horse, drew his knife and chopped an evil ghost that rushed out from the roadside into two pieces.
A strong smell of blood suddenly filled the air, causing the woman behind to cover her mouth and nose and frown.
"What's this?"
"Of course these are the evil ghosts and monsters in the mountains. Aren't you here just to deal with them?" The man in white was surprised when he saw this. The mountains were extremely barren at dusk, and the only distinctive thing was this inexhaustible ghost.
Damn it, this man actually asked why.
"But why did they appear in the wilderness? Shouldn't this place be tightly sealed and patrolled by disciples of Ning Zi Zhao Ye Palace?" Seeing that the man was puzzled, the woman in green slowly elaborated.
"Back then, there was a great rise of ghost corpses in the country, and they fought with our dynasty, and were finally wiped out by the dynasty's Red Bird and Dragon Cavalry. After that, under the guidance of Master Chifeng, three families gathered here to seal Yama Luo Mountain. And for the future
The Xiangyu sect, one of the three sects, has specially left a group of disciples practicing the Nine Nether Way to guard it."
"These disciples later formed their own sect, which was the predecessor of Ningzi Zhaoye Palace."
"Why don't you see these Zhaoye Palace disciples who are guarding the Ximu Mountains!?" At the end of the sentence, the woman's voice was slightly angry, and her eyes also glowed with a slight golden light, like the eyes of an angry dragon.
