Twilight Boundary

Monkey Master called out seven or eight souls in one night, and they all turned into moths in his lantern, fluttering around, and then he and Hu Ma quietly left the village.

When he arrived outside the village, the monkey jumped on his shoulder, and his voice finally became louder. He proudly showed off his unique skills to Hu Ma, but Hu Ma was just indifferent, looking absent-minded and not thinking much. respond to him.

"You..."

The monkey master actually didn't seem to care, he just smiled and said to Hu Ma: "I'm still too young to understand!"

"Doorway, doorway, once you enter the doorway, you are no longer the same as the people outside..."

"..."

He may have seen Hu Ma's vague resistance to him, but he didn't know that Hu Ma had already harbored murderous intentions towards him several times. He just knew that he was still being stared at and that he was outnumbered and it was not time to take action. .

Now that I have returned to Wutong Town with patience, someone has been meeting the old monkey in the town for a long time, planning to take him to have a drink. He asked Hu Ma to go with him, but Hu Ma refused directly.

They took Huma back to the inn to rest, and then went to the Qianfeng Restaurant with the old monkey. The eldest young master of the Lu family had already prepared a table of wine and food. When the old monkey came back, he saw seven or eight moths flapping in his lantern. His face suddenly looked much better.

"How about it, Mr. Monkey, can that boy do it?"

But after sitting down and putting away the lantern, he was still worried and looked at the old monkey intently.

"There is no one more suitable than him."

The old monkey smiled, drank a cup of wine first, and said: "Don't worry, I can read people accurately."

"This is just a young kid who has just come out of the world. He seems to know some rules and was taught by his elders. He has never really come out."

"And although he endured it, it was obvious that he really couldn't accept my unique skill. This shows that he is definitely not in the treasure-holding industry. Otherwise, even if he has never done it, he has seen it before. , it won’t be such a big reaction.”

"..."

Listening to what he said, Master Lu was all doubtful and looked forward to it: "Have you got the eight-character hair?"

"That's not true."

The old monkey shook his head and said: "After all, he is a watcher of the year, and he is very cautious. I can't go up and snatch it away? These old bones are not enough for him to tear apart."

Young Master Lu looked a little regretful, shook his head, and whispered, "What's his name?"

The old monkey chuckled and called for paper and pen, but did not write.

Master Lu laughed helplessly, pointed out three fingers, and said, "Old monkey spirit, three hundred taels is enough, right?"

"Enough is enough."

The old monkey agreed with a smile, wrote a few words on the paper, rolled it into a ball, threw it to Master Lu, and said with a smile: "This is a real name. I asked about his brother, and his name is the same. Listen, They look like they are of the same generation..."

"That's good. If you can keep a New Year's Watcher by your side, why can't you help Master Qingyi? I'll remember this favor."

Young Master Lu also opened it and took a look, put it away happily, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Here, let me toast you."

"We'll start tomorrow, just hope everything goes well."

"..."

"..."

"They should take action tomorrow."

Similarly, in the inn at this time, Hu Ma seemed to outsiders to be in a low mood and depressed for a while after returning.

Xiao Hongtang next to her looked up at her several times, tentatively asking if she wanted to beat up the monkey squatting on the roof next door, but Hu Ma also shook his head to stop it, and after venting his anger, he still lay there silently. Went back to bed and slept.

But in the dream, the activity started immediately.

Diguashao has been waiting here for a long time. When he explained these things in detail, Diguashao was obviously a little surprised: "It's called Soul Technique?"

"The old man with the monkey...does one of his eyes become cloudy?"

"..."

Hu Ma nodded: "It's him."

"Hey, it turns out it's this old guy..."

After hearing this, Diguashao sneered and said: "He is also an old man and a scumbag. He was in Mingzhou Mansion earlier and did several major cases, but he was kicked out later."

"I heard that he later joined the Tsing Yi Gang to make a living. However, his reputation was too bad and he had many enemies. Even in the Tsing Yi Gang, he did not dare to reveal his identity. But since he can call souls and is so familiar with it, I think it is probably him. .”

"He called this soul to break one of my techniques."

"And they call souls, and they can call up to ten people in one night. If he only called eight, he couldn't be kind-hearted and let the remaining two go."

"The only possibility is that they have called enough."

"So, I know my senior brother's plan. They will definitely go up the mountain tomorrow."

"..."

"It would be nice if I could let you analyze the information."

Hu Ma and the old monkey were together, although they were passive, but they would ask questions from time to time, trying to find out the time of their actions so that they could be cooked for sweet potatoes.

Unexpectedly, I didn't find out when I asked, but from the number of the soul, I was able to guess it.

He took a low breath, then became a little more solemn, and said to Diguashao: "By the way, are you familiar with this blind man? Tell me about his weaknesses."

"..."

Diguashao smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with him, but his method is a side sect of ours, so I can tell you about it."

"What he used, in fact, our sect's superficial knowledge is not as advanced as my senior brother and I. It's called the Impermanent Soul Retention Technique. It can summon the soul of a person and use it to cast spells, but his method is far from perfect."

"If you succeed in learning, secretly memorize a person's name and birthday, or even just trace a picture in secret, burn three sticks of incense at night, you can invite Master Impermanence to summon the soul, and tie a chain around your neck, no matter how big it is. There’s no point in using my skills.”

"What's even more powerful is that if I shine something on you, I will know your name and date of birth. I can use whatever tricks I want to use on you..."

"But before that, there is something important... your name and horoscope haven't been touched by him yet, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Hu Ma quickly shook his head and said, "He doesn't know."

Because I had suffered a loss in Dayangzhai earlier, I was even more careful when I went out.

Look now...be even more careful in the future.

"That's much better."

Digua Shao said: "Senior, although you are a veteran and must be very capable, you must remember not to let these people know your name."

"Even from this moment on, you have to forget your own name."

"They may not be able to get your horoscope, hair and beard, let alone your essence and blood, but just by knowing your name, they already have many tricks they can use to plot against people."

"..."

"So evil?"

After hearing this, Hu Ma was startled for a moment and said, "Then what if we are acquaintances and face people from the Torture Soul Sect?"

"Hey, let's put it that way!"

Di Guashao said: "Neither of us knows the name of the master until now. Moreover, although the master is nominally an old worshiper of the Tsing Yi Gang, he has always been a loner and lived in isolation. Even if he is a good friend, he does not want to let him go." My master is close to my husband and doesn’t want to eat at the same table."

"As for my senior brother, he was originally a wealthy family, so the master and I both knew his name at first, but he was also frightened. In the past three or four years, he changed his name three or four times, and had the maids and servants call him something else every day. .”

"As for me, when I was a child, I lived on the street and was picked up by my master. I actually remembered my original name, but I just said that I didn't remember it, so my master gave me another name."

"But I haven't recognized it in my heart. Of course, it cannot be regarded as my real name."

"..."

Hu Ma found it a bit strange: "Do people in your sect have such a hard life?"

Diguashao smiled helplessly and said, "Because we know how to treat others, of course we are careful about others using the same method to treat us."

"Anyway, it's not just ours. There are many other doors in Xinghun. You just need to pay attention to them all the time."

Immediately, the two chatted about some specific plans for the next day, including what Hu Mah had seen and heard at Mr. Lu's place that day, and even the clothes, looks, words and deeds of everyone around him, and even their dialects and accents, and the relationship between them. The names were all mentioned one by one, and then he exited.

At dawn, Hu Ma got up. Before he had breakfast, he heard a commotion downstairs. It was Old Monkey who entered the inn. However, he was dressed in rags and was immediately kicked out by the shopkeeper and the waiter.

He wasn't annoyed, he just laughed and joked with them.

When someone was ready to fight, he jumped out of the door. When someone turned around, he came in again. It wasn't until he saw Hu Ma appearing at the top of the stairs that he smiled and waved:

"Little brother, let's go eat steamed buns. I know that their steamed buns are big and white..."

"..."

The shopkeeper and the waiter in the inn were a little surprised to see that he actually knew Hu Ma, and they didn't know what to do.

Hu Ma waved her hands, not bothering to joke with him. Earlier, everyone was happy when they heard the second master talk about meat and vegetables. But now they just feel disgusted when they hear the old beggar talk about meat and vegetables.

He lazily walked out and said to the old monkey: "Why do you let them shout around when you are so capable?"

"How fun..."

The old monkey smiled and said: "Everyone looks down on me, so I don't feel guilty at all if I harm anyone."

Hu Ma glanced at him, but said no more unnecessary words.

The old monkey said he would take Hu Ma to eat big, white buns, but in fact he went back to Qianfeng Tea House.

I saw that all the people I met yesterday were already here. The two men with sallow faces, the man named Zheng who could throw a knife, the man from the Jianghu in linen clothes, and the dull man who looked honest and friendly. There are all the men who can only giggle.

"Have a full meal in the morning, and we'll set off after noon to go to the Ma family ancestral hall."

When the young master Lu saw Hu Ma coming in, he said: "I think my junior sister has been waiting there for a long time. This girl is young and good-looking, but she is sinister, cunning, and shameless. There is blood in other people's stomachs. She is so beautiful." My stomach is full of harmful bad water..."

"Although you are all veterans, you should be more vigilant to avoid falling into her trap."

"..."

Everyone was coping, thinking about what kind of opponent this would be, but Hu Ma was slightly startled after hearing this: "Junior sister?"

You guys are so responsive. Yesterday I just missed the word "she" and I missed it. I have to change it later so that new readers can't guess it.
