Twilight Boundary

"Master, isn't this because of you?"

Beside him, the eldest disciple who was already able to stand alone also shouted anxiously: "As soon as you saw this sword, you became obsessed with it and led us to forge day and night. Unfortunately, you were three days early. Instead, we caught up with the Lantern Festival, the time when the blessings in the town are at their strongest..."

"..."

The second disciple next to him also shouted anxiously: "Master, I think we should stop the anger for a while, or go out and kowtow on the altar to get some luck..."

They have followed the master for the longest time, and they know the art of knife forging best. They know that the master is serious about his work and does not allow his disciples to interrupt when forging a knife, but now they have to be reminded of this.

The seventh young master of the Sun family didn't know where he got this job. He promised a heavy reward and wanted to reforge the sword properly. However, their shop specializes in the business of Jianghu people, and they have never used any good weapons. A lot of items in the doorway were also handled.

But this time, the more I did it, the more evil I felt.

First, the master of his own family, the seventh son of the Sun family, was sitting on the master's chair drinking tea without even raising his eyelids when he came in.

But when the seventh young master showed the knife wrapped in red cloth, he jumped up, held it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and even put the knife on the table, standing by himself, I bowed several times to this knife.

When the seventh young master of the Sun family explained the forging requirements and took out a bone sealed in a black jar, the master immediately knelt down.

He respectfully placed the black bone on the altar as an offering, and had the windows on all sides sealed. He used good carbon, good iron, and a good stove, and began to forge the knife embryo day and night.

They ate, drank, and had sex in the shop, and told the disciples in advance that no one could take leave until the uncle was released. Even if he died, he would have to die in this shop. Anyway, the Sun family would give him enough money for his death.

So day and night, I took turns taking over the job, and only took a nap when I was sleepy. I couldn't stand it anymore, and I even took out the blood food pills that were worth gold to share them. I just spent half a month. The time was hard to endure.

But in the end, it turned out to be self-defeating, the blow was too fast, and when the knife came out of the furnace, it happened to catch up with the Lantern Festival.

The knife is a dangerous thing, but it was released just when the fortune is at its peak. Wouldn't it be a joke?

Seeing the disciples pleading and the dilemma in the furnace, the master who forged the sword hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth fiercely: "We can't stop."

"The most taboo thing about sword forging is a ceasefire. Swordsmen are made in heaven, especially what we are forging is a fierce sword in the doorway. The evil spirit of this man is heavier than our destiny. When it comes out of the furnace and when it is forged, it will all matter. It’s destined, we can only make a rough estimate.”

"Whether it's early or late, it's fate."

"Now that it has been forged three days ahead of schedule, we can only adapt to the weather and take care of it!"

"..."

"That……"

The disciples also understood what the master said, but when they looked at the red knife embryo in the furnace, their expressions became more and more nervous, and they shouted: "Then what should we do?"

"This sword was forged when the fortune was at its strongest, and it will be tainted with compassion. This sword... I am afraid this sword is different from the one we wanted to forge in the first place..."

"..."

"A knife is a vicious object, how can it be tainted with mercy?"

When the old master heard this, it was more of a joke than the biggest joke in the world. A sinister look flashed in his eyes. He suddenly looked at the muscular chests of the apprentices in front of him and saw the strength in their bodies. With great vitality, he looked at the fire again.

No one knows whether this old master was fascinated by the sword and was frightened by the sword because he worked hard day and night. He had evil spirits in his heart and what kind of cruel thoughts had passed through his mind.

All the disciples sensed something was wrong and were silent for a moment, feeling terrified.

But at this moment, suddenly, a gust of cold wind from outside forced in, blowing the flames in the furnace from white to green, and there seemed to be the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling inside. All the disciples were terrified, and their hearts were filled with fear. Inexplicable fear.

"ah?"

The old master was also startled. He suddenly turned his head and looked outside, as if he saw the diffuse ghost mist and the gloomy arrogance. He was shocked, but also overjoyed: "Hurry!"

"I just said that this sword has a certain destiny. We didn't forge it in advance, but we forged it at the right time!"

"This is the best time. You can't even find it. The most suitable time to forge this sword..."

"..."

As he said that, he was already busy and picked up the heavy hammer. On his arms, the muscles crawled like a python, and he used his life-saving strength to hit the knife one by one.

The disciples didn't know what was happening in the town. They just felt as if there was something extra, and it was as if they were in the underworld where evil spirits were lingering. They knew in their hearts that terrible things were happening in this town one after another.

They didn't know what it was, but as people who forged swords, they felt keenly that what was happening now was the right time for forging swords, and even, with God's help, it became the best time...

Without having time to think about it, they hurriedly followed suit.

One hammer after another, one after another.

The billowing wind rolled in from outside the shop, and even the fire seemed to have turned into a will-o'-the-wisp, with ghostly auras rising, including illness, injury, pain, sorrow, shock, despair, sorrow, and bitterness, mixed in the fire, greedily licking it The knife was attached to it, forming strange patterns.

The heavy hammer fell on the blade, clanking, and the monotonous knocking sound sounded like some kind of pleasant sigh.

…

…

"Started early?"

Also when the Eight-Destroying God of Caotou paid homage to the town and the billowing Yin Qi blew in, Hu Ma, who was walking among the bustling crowd, suddenly stood still.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he felt more and more uncomfortable. He had known for a long time that this night would not be peaceful, but he didn't expect that no one outside seemed to have the patience to wait until the time came. They talked about the rules, and they seemed to follow the rules on the surface, but they always It feels a bit unscrupulous.

He took a deep breath, put down the little red flower that was sitting on his shoulder and looked at the lanterns, turned around and walked into an empty room next to him, and then took off a brazier from the wall of the street next to it. He was held by Xiao Hongtang and they entered the house together.

He motioned to Xiao Hongtang to help him look out for the wind. He closed his eyes attentively and entered the natal temple. When a wisp of the scent of life connected with the monkey wine, he immediately asked: "How many of them are there? How long are they?" Able to?"

"have no idea."

Houerjiu's reply sounded: "It's only been two days and one night since I gave them the news. Calculating the distance from Mingzhou to here, they theoretically rode fast horses and worked day and night. It will take three days to arrive.”

"Last night, I also asked for you once. The other two could not be contacted, but the little girl codenamed Sweet Potato Shao was contacted. She said that she had set off as soon as she received the message and was rushing quickly. Come."

"..."

"It's reliable that there is no movement. Is the sweet potato burning going on the road first?"

Hu Ma took a deep breath and said: "I'm afraid we can't wait any longer. Something has happened in this town. I need to help. But if I do, maybe even I will be in danger."

"I see it."

Houerjiu said calmly: "Now, some weird things are paying homage to that town, and even my Gu insects subconsciously stay away from them."

"According to my estimation, you should not be their opponent, but do you need me to help you out?"

"..."

"Need not."

Hu Ma took a low breath, thought slowly, and said to Houerjiu: "But I have two other things that I need you to help me with. First, if they arrive, tell them three things:"

"First, there is a gap in the reincarnated person's information."

"Secondly, I have already met Lao Junmei."

"Third, the world is becoming lighter and lighter."

"..."

Houerjiu listened quietly, and after he finished speaking, he said: "Who can understand these few sentences without beginning or end? Why don't you tell them in full?"

"Because it's not to convey information, it's just to let them know that I have very important information here..."

Hu Ma is not that noble. Before doing dangerous things, he kept important information, just to let these guys understand the importance of the information in their hands as soon as they came over, and to be more cooperative in doing things. .

Otherwise, relying on their cautious energy, they might sneak away first as soon as they heard that they were dealing with the Shou Sui Hall official and the children of the Tongyin Meng family.

Hearing this, Houerjiu stopped asking, and just said lightly: "Remember it, what is the second thing?"

"The second thing..."

Hu Ma also took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "Pay attention to what's going on in the town here. If you get my code, then I hope you can do your best to help me deal with someone."

Hou'erjiu said: "Okay."

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you even ask who it belongs to?"

Houerjiu also thought for a while and said: "No matter who it is, since I have promised you, I will try my best to cope with it. If I can't cope, I will take reasonable precautions. What's the point of asking who it is?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and sighed softly: "What you said actually makes sense..."

…

…

"With people like Houerjiu on our side, no matter how you think about it, it seems like the luck of us reincarnations..."

After explaining everything to Houerjiu and exiting the Benming Temple, Huma breathed a long sigh of relief. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Hongtang lying on the window, looking out nervously. Looking at it, Hu Ma could feel the cold atmosphere through the window.

"Let's go, Xiao Hongtang!"

He stood up slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a flash of fierceness, he said: "We are staying in Mingzhou, and people are going to come and build some kind of ghost general station, and poke us secretly. To deal with us, since you can’t get rid of us..."

"Then let's just go and say hello to them!"
