Twilight Boundary

On this day, Zhuangzi opened the door early in the morning and hung the lantern of the Red Lantern Lady in the yard. Even the nearby villagers who came to burn paper to pay their wishes were told to wait and come back the day after tomorrow.

Originally, everyone in Zhuangzi was ready to welcome them, but they didn't expect that from morning to night, the entire day passed without seeing the boy in green or the incense master Zheng.

As night fell, Hu Ma was already preparing to arrange for people to patrol the night, but unexpectedly, a gong sounded outside Zhuangzi.

The guys in the village hurriedly looked around, but were suddenly blown by a dark wind, and they all shuddered.

I don't know when a thin mist rose outside, and it was cold and gnawing at the bones.

The eyes of people and the light of the lanterns in the village seemed to be blocked, unable to shine beyond two feet.

As the mist poured into the village, seven or eight figures appeared, all wearing green trousers, with their upper bodies bare, and a strange little pigtail tied behind their head. Two wisps of blush were dazzling, and the shape said It's so weird and funny that it doesn't look like a living person.

They came surrounded by a sedan chair, but there was no one sitting on the sedan chair. Instead, a rusty iron mask was placed, vaguely looking like an evil ghost.

Hu Ma saw it when the Red Lantern Club was fighting with the Tsing Yi Gang. It was the mask of the Tsing Yi Devil, which was the same as the Red Lantern Lady's lantern.

"this……"

Suddenly seeing such a group of ghostly guys rushing into Zhuangzi, everyone's hearts trembled and they turned around to look.

"Don't lose face when distinguished guests come to your door, let alone lose your courage."

Hu Ma shouted calmly, scolded the guys in the village, and then walked forward slowly.

"Under the Red Lantern Empress' seat, the shopkeeper of Qingshi branch, Hu Ma, is waiting for you, Mr. Qingyi, and for your senior brother, Qingyi..."

There must be scenes that should be there.

The Tsing Yi Gang and the Red Lantern Club are at loggerheads. The Red Lantern Club privately calls Mr. Tsing Yi the Tsing Yi Devil. The Tsing Yi Gang also calls the Red Lantern Lady unpleasant in private. But that is in private. When it comes to the surface, they still Be polite and call the other person "Sir".

"whee……"

The boys in green clothes all laughed and shook their heads after hearing Hu Ma's polite words.

But before they could answer, a man with a Chinese character's face and a brocade robe emerged from the thick fog.

He looked at Hu Ma with a cold smile on his face: "Hello, shopkeeper Xiao Hu..."

"We said goodbye after the fight in Zhumen Town and never saw you again. I have been thinking about you..."

"..."

"Master Zheng Daxiang..."

Hu Ma looked at this man, breathed out slowly, met his gaze, and said calmly: "I have been thinking about Master Zheng Xiang coming, but I didn't expect that you have so many things to do, that you have come at this time. When we get to my village..."

"hehe……"

Master Zheng Xiang stepped forward slowly, looked around, and said calmly: "I followed the order of the empress and took the senior brothers in Qingyi to look for people."

"We have searched all the 17 Zhuangzi in the Red Lantern Club. Of course, we must start with the Zhuangzi who has the most people and the most ability. After passing through each one, of course you will be the last one..."

"...Everyone is here? No one is hiding, right?"

"..."

Hu Ma said: "There are nine people in the branch in Qingshi Town including me, and they are all here."

"Master Zheng Daxiang works for Master Qingyi so seriously. How dare I delay your great work on such a trivial matter?"

"I just don't know who you are looking for, but who are you looking for?"

"..."

Master Zheng Xiang heard that Hu Ma was neither humble nor arrogant, even a little sarcastic, but he didn't take it seriously.

The thing is so strange. Earlier, when he didn't break up, he was holding a fight in front of Hu Ma. Even if Hu Ma said something unpleasant, he would reprimand her with shame. Now that he is breaking up, let alone yin and yang. , even if he yelled, he didn't care.

"Only nine people?"

He just smiled coldly and said, "Then call everyone between the ages of fifteen and twenty!"

"You don't have to ask about whom you are looking for. Senior brothers in Qingyi will understand after taking a look."

"..."

"Fifteen to twenty-five, then all of us in Zhuangzi are indispensable. We all have to come here and take pictures..."

Long before they came, Hu Ma had already understood the process of their arrival at each village, and was not surprised. Moreover, before they came, Hu Ma had already smeared the soil dug from the old tree stump on his chest. The shelter of the tree stump naturally brings peace of mind.

So he took a step forward and said: "Then everyone in my village must take a photo, even me, the shopkeeper, is no exception. Let's start with me!"

Master Zheng Daxiang was a little surprised when he heard this.

He looked for people in various villages, but rarely took photos of those shopkeepers. After all, most shopkeepers were over this age group, but it was different here. He originally wanted Hu Ma to take a photo, but he didn't expect that Hu Ma didn't need him to say anything. He stood up directly.

After pondering for a moment, he turned around with a smile and bowed to the ghostly boys in green: "Brothers, please come!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

The boys in green clothes laughed and answered, their voices as sharp as those of young children.

These people are comparable to the disciples of Hongxiang, or in other words, they are very close to the evil ghosts in green clothes. They are the most loyal group of spirit-bearing people, and they should be compared with the incense burners.

Each of them was contaminated with too many evil spirits, and they already looked more like ghosts than people. Seeing Hu Ma stand up, two of them jumped forward, holding two ends of a strange round mirror, and looked at Hu Ma. , took the photo directly.

"Um?"

He Ma looked calm and composed on the surface, but actually he was tense in his heart.

Senior Old Tree Stump gave him the mud, saying that it could hide him from the other party's prying eyes, but he only said that "it should be possible".

If there is an accident, the trouble will be huge...

But there were some things that I couldn't avoid, so I had to bite the bullet, straighten my chest, and look at the mirror.

Looking at it, I felt that it was suddenly full of ghosts, and a stream of yin energy rushed towards me, as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe in the cold winter.

He felt like he was being watched from beginning to end by some powerful being, but he also stared at the mirror, only to see black ripples appearing on the mirror, and something vaguely flashing from the mirror. Passed by and disappeared immediately.

Under the mirror, a faint red line rose a few inches and then stopped moving.

"It's not him, it's not him."

The group of boys in green clothes looked at the mirror and kept saying: "It's not even close, it's not even close."

Master Zheng Daxiang narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head slowly, smiled again and said, "Brothers, please take a look at others."

"Is this level over?"

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside.

He just said he wasn't nervous, but he was lying. Old Shuzhu also said he wasn't sure. If something went wrong with him, he really didn't know if he would have any room to resist in front of the green-clothed devil. .

Even if the senior from Lao Yin Mountain agrees to help, he still has to be able to enter Lao Yin Mountain...

However, now it seems that the old tree stump's magic power is still deep. He said that he was not sure, but the soil he gave him could easily break the opponent's magic.

This was lingering in my mind like a hanging sword, and it took me more than half a month to break through this level so easily.

Glancing at Zheng Daxiang Master, I saw that he also had his eyes lowered, and he didn't seem to have any other reaction to his ability to escape this hurdle.

Thinking about the matter regarding the noble man above, no matter what he did, he would not dare to do anything wrong.

However, when I felt a little relaxed, I also became curious.

What are these people taking pictures of?

A red line rose up on the mirror, and there were scratches like those on the mirror frame. What did this measure?

While he was thinking about it, the other guys came up one after another to take a look, but the speed was not slow. Everyone stood on the mirror and it only took three breaths to finish taking a look.

Moreover, Hu Ma looked at it and saw that the length of the red line shown in the photo was different for each person. Some were as long as three fingers, some were a foot, or a foot and a half.

For these people, Tsing Yi Tongzi and others didn't even bother to look at them. They just took a brief look and rushed to the side.

I saw all the guys taking pictures, and Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others who helped arrange the guys' arrival also came over.

First, Li Wazi walked up from the kitchen. He was as thin as a pole and seemed to be able to fall over if the wind blew. No one else took him seriously, but he stood in front of the mirror and was shocked.

I saw that the red line suddenly rose, and it actually exceeded two feet. It was the tallest among the people who had ever seen it.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on his face.

Li Wazi suddenly panicked and looked towards Hu Ma: "Brother Mazi, this..."

Hu Ma was also startled. She glanced at the Tsing Yi boy's face and then looked at Zheng Xiangzhu, trying to see if he was responsible.

Zheng Xiangzhu lowered his eyelids and said slowly, "There are a few more, let's take pictures together!"

The last ones who didn't take the photo were Zhou Datong and others. They were helping to maintain order, so they happened to be at the back.

With Li Wazi in front, the boys in green seemed to be excited. They hurriedly brought the mirror over and looked at them. In the black lenses, Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, and Zhao Zhu flashed through one by one. s face.

Suddenly a horrifying scene appeared, the red line in the mirror suddenly soared.

Zhao Zhushi was okay, a little over two feet, about the same as Li Wazi.

But when he arrived at Zhou Liang, it had already reached two and a half feet, and at the same time as Zhou Da, it was almost three feet, almost reaching the red line.

At this moment, the whole Zhuangzi suddenly became quiet, and everyone was silent, with only the cold wind blowing.

"Four, four..."

On the other side, the boys in Tsing Yi were already overjoyed. They grinned, shook their heads, jumped up, pointed at Zhou Datong and the others and shouted, some said: "Three, three..."

While talking, someone actually took out the chain.

Zheng Xiangzhu, on the other hand, lowered his eyelids. After a long while, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Since the photo has come out, take it away!"
