Twilight Boundary

"Eh?"

Mr. Sun, who was facing the red lantern on the archway and whispering in a low voice, was startled when he saw Hu Ma leading someone in front of him, his face full of vigilance.

He wasn't afraid of Hu Ma. After all, after entering the valley, apart from shouting a few times, he actually didn't do much, and he didn't show much of his skills. No matter who he faced at this time, he was capable of fighting.

But he was afraid of the red lantern.

He had heard the name of the Red Lantern Empress before, but she was not in the same state and had little social contact. No matter how powerful others said it, he did not take it seriously. Xun Si thought at best that he had defeated the evil ghost in blue and built a temple. Little Case God, what’s so surprising?

The person who enters the house to stay up late is also a stay-upon master. Naturally, he has to respect such evil spirits, but there is no need to grovel.

But things are different now. He has seen with his own eyes the tricks of the Red Lantern Empress. With a little magic power, she can drive away the Lotus Mother and severely damage the evil god of Wu Village. What kind of magic power is this?

If the little steward of the Red Lantern Society took this opportunity to borrow the Red Lantern Queen's magic power to make things difficult for him, then he would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Don't panic, old man."

Hu Ma glanced at him and said calmly: "Our Red Lantern Lady is not unreasonable, she is just annoying and has no rules. Earlier, you didn't even say hello, so she came into our mine to cause trouble and made you eat. A loss is deserved."

"But now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, and everyone is of the Shousui family, why should we ignore others?"

"..."

After saying that Hu Ma was polite and thoughtful, Mr. Sun felt a little relieved. He looked at Hu Ma carefully and said, "What a good boy. I heard someone said that your master is Mr. Zhou from Laoyin Mountain?"

"How much ability do you have to be able to teach a disciple like you... If not, what would you call me?"

"..."

After hearing what he said, Hu Ma smiled and nodded and said, "My surname is Hu, and I am the steward of our Red Lantern Club."

"The name is not important. We are here to do things for you. If the old man is not convinced, just come to Mingzhou to find him. If we have someone in the red lantern club, we will definitely be able to take over the old man."

"..."

"Hey, what do you mean by convinced or not?"

The Third Master Sun of Tieqiao suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said: "It's all done by people in the church, and it's not a personal grudge. Shopkeeper Xiao Hu, I will remember the face you gave me today and I will pay it back to you in the future."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Old gentleman, if you have the chance, I will give you advice at any time."

It wasn't until this moment that Mr. Sun finally felt relieved. He turned around and hurriedly checked the injuries of the people who came with him, but he couldn't help but look slightly depressed.

The dharma body of the one-penny dharma king who was forcibly lowered by the Lotus Mother has eroded too much vitality and life. Now he has gray hair and looks like he has aged twenty years. Even if he was rescued, he may not be alive much. Year's worth of life.

As for his disciples and grandsons, except for Zhuang Erchang, who is more advanced in spiritual practice, he is still alive, but the others have been bitten by bees with holes all over their bodies, and they have already died.

It can be said that I have suffered a big loss this time, but most of the hatred in my heart is only for those group of witches. They know the etiquette of the mine and respect their seniors, but they cannot mention this. Come complain.

With one hand he grabbed the half-dead Dharma King who had lost all his magic power, and with the other hand he picked up the unconscious Zhuang Erchang, turned around and walked out of the valley.

Seeing that he left so neatly, Hu Ma suddenly said: "Old man, after the mine leader Zhuang has calmed down, he needs to come back and hand over the accounts of the mine. When our lady asks about it later, I will also I have to settle the accounts with the people above..."

"..."

"know!"

Mr. Sun didn't even look back and said dullly: "If he doesn't come, I'll break one of his legs!"

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

Seeing that Mr. Sun was walking away quickly, everyone in the room looked at each other in disbelief.

"Things within the association are matters within the association, and the friendship within the inheritance is within the inheritance."

Hu Ma shook his head and said: "He came to rob the corpse for a penny. We have to protect the baby for the sake of the Red Lantern Empress. It's all business. How can there be any personal grudges?"

In fact, I was relieved in my heart. Speaking of it, what I feared the most in this whole thing was actually Lao Shou Sui. He seemed to have used some kind of special skill at the government level. He was full of evil energy, and his green face and fangs were really scary.

It's just that he didn't find his position correctly. He didn't know whether to rush ahead or follow behind. He couldn't figure out the details. He was frightened by the power of the Red Lantern Queen and didn't dare to use her true ability to fight.

In fact, if he really went crazy and used this magic power to kill people and cause chaos in this mine, then no matter who it was, he would have a headache...

While thinking in his mind, he waved his hand, turned around, and looked at the mineral vein wrapped in red cloth. His expression did not relax, and he said to the old abacus beside him: "Brother, what's in that mineral vein, What exactly is going on?”

"Don't you say you know everything? It's time you tell me, right?"

"..."

"I?"

Old Abacus was stunned for a moment, thinking that he still had many questions to ask you. For example, how could you just take the palm of the old Shou Sui who entered the mansion, and how could you force the possessed guest to death with just one knife? came out, or even scared away?

But feeling the urgency on Hu Ma's body, he also took a breath of cold air and said hurriedly: "My old man has indeed seen a lot of things in his life, but what can I say about this situation..."

"I only know that this group of witches do not worship any witch gods at all. The real witch gods are those who have been canonized. And their branch suffered a sin because of their involvement in the incident at the Grand Altar in Beijing. They were originally The tribesmen were exiled and then came here."

"The real witch gods are canonized and will not protect people like them who have sinned..."

"..."

"Another tribe affected by the Shangjing Grand Altar incident? It is somewhat similar to the situation of the Dongzi Li family..."

Hu Ma's heart also moved slightly, thinking to herself, and slowly said: "Then if the Witch God will not bless them, what do they worship so devoutly?"

Just after the fight, he also felt that the evil spirits and guests invited by the shaman outside seemed different from the evil spirits and guests he had seen, and they were indescribably weird.

"Perhaps some kind of evil spirit took advantage of their tribe's lack of masters and took advantage of the opportunity to pretend to be a witch god and defraud incense sacrifices..."

Old Abacus was also obviously hesitant, and he spoke slowly, suddenly feeling a little horrified: "Even, just because Hei Taisui ate too much, his brain became abnormal, and he created something unknown..."

Listening to the doubtful words of the old abacus, Hu Ma suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and thought about it carefully: the person invited outside was not a witch god, but a witch man who had eaten too much Tai Sui flesh and blood, something that was imagined out of thin air. …

But if it is really just a fantasy, this thing shouldn't have a will, at least it shouldn't have a clear purpose beyond the scope of the witch's prayer!

But the one outside is clearly there, and it even has a clear purpose. It wants to borrow things from the mineral veins and come to the world...

Then this will...

He was shocked: "This will comes from Master Tai Sui?"

Thinking of this problem, and then thinking of the chaotic information that came into her mind when she absorbed the blood of Hei Taisui, Hu Ma took a deep breath and realized some kind of terrible problem:

‘Did I just fight with Mr. Tai Sui? ’

‘…’

"These things are too difficult to guess..."

While Hu Ma was thinking about it, Old Abacus also sighed lowly and said: "The more powerful the guest is and canonized as a god, the less he likes the blood food ore, or in other words... they are instinctively afraid of it."

"Even the Red Lantern Lady in our guild refuses to be invited to the Blood Food Mine casually, let alone someone who is more powerful than the Red Lantern Lady?"

"However, there are some blood foods that they can't live without. Moreover, they can invisibly create more powerful evil spirits, and some are very attractive to them..."

"..."

"Both attracted and instinctively afraid?"

Hu Ma caught the key point in these words, looked deeply at the mineral vein that was sealed by the red cloth, and said in a low voice: "So, what they are all robbing... seems to be called Shituo... and what exactly is it?" thing?"

"It's this idea that makes me feel a little strange..."

Old Abacus paused and whispered: "What they said seems to be different from what I understand. If this is really what the group of people who came to Beijing were fighting for more than 20 years ago, how could this... appear here?"

"Um?"

Hearing what Lao Baanpan said, Hu Ma couldn't help being startled and turned to look at him.

I had heard about the Grand Altar in Beijing from the Li family of Dongzi earlier, but didn’t the Li family of Dongzi at that time say that the large altar was set up to understand the ins and outs of Master Tai Sui?

Of course, later I heard Senior Tiger say that the big altar seemed to be related to the reincarnation of the previous generation, the Great Sage Master...

Now, the stuff in the mineral veins has been added?

Thinking of the old abacus' unreliable behavior from time to time, his eyes couldn't help but be suspicious, but it made the old abacus hurriedly say: "Don't look at me, I don't guarantee it, I just listen to what others say. , how can I tell you..."

Hu Ma said: "Why hasn't anyone else heard about it, but you have heard about it?"

The suspicion in his words was no longer hidden.

When Old Abacus heard this, he glared: "Do you know what I did before I joined the Red Lantern Club as a worshipper?"

"In order to make a living, I, an old man, have been talking about books in the streets. If I don't listen to these legends and secrets, how can I coax money from those tea guests?"

"Fuck..."

Hu Ma, who originally looked suspicious that there was something wrong with this old abacus, was stunned: "His answer is surprisingly reasonable..."

I also sighed in my heart, seeing that everyone around me was looking at me, no matter how much I talked about the mineral vein over there, it was nothing to keep it there...

Then his heart skipped a beat and he said: "Datong, go get the shovel!"
