Twilight Boundary

He pinched the horse's body with his legs, quickened his pace, and left the boundary of Laoyin Mountain.

After coming out, we saw that the sun was shining brightly outside the mountain.

In the distant fields and ridges, in each village, people were running back and forth, some cheering, some crying, and some saw Hu Ma coming from a distance, so they came up to meet him, knelt in front of the horse, and kowtowed to Hu Ma.

They didn't know about Hu Ma killing evil ghosts in Laoyin Mountain, but they still remembered Hu Ma's hard work traveling between villages in the past few days.

Hu Ma also hurriedly asked them to get up. He refused to bow and just asked: "How was the matter resolved?"

"How many people were injured in the village?"

"Where are the ghost walkers who came from other places to help?"

"..."

After these villagers said this, Hu Ma quickly comforted them and hurried towards the village ahead.

Now the dark energy that blocked the clouds and the sun has been swept away, but after suffering this disaster, the families and villages within a radius of thirty miles also have a sense of decadence that has greatly damaged their vitality.

It seems that the vitality is withering, the crops are withered and yellow, and I don’t know how long it will take to grow them again.

When I came to the village in front, I saw that there were still many ghost walkers busy. Some were taking care of the people who had been attacked by evil spirits. They took out herbs and boiled them for them, and told them how to take care of themselves afterwards. Only in this way can you take good care of your body.

Some comforted the people around them, telling them not to be afraid. The evil was very serious this time, but once it was solved, it was solved and it would not come back again.

Some people have already packed up their belongings and are ready to leave.

Hu Ma hurriedly urged him to go immediately and said: "Old sir, mother-in-law, eldest sister, there is no need to leave in a hurry."

"After a hard day, please come to the village with me. I'll prepare some wine and food to satisfy your hunger first."

"..."

Under normal circumstances, when a ghost walker comes to the village to help, the folks in the village have to buy good food and wine to entertain them, and they have to prepare the gifts proactively, and cannot wait for others to ask for them.

But this time, the matter was too big and the people were in panic, but they couldn't care about it, but Hu Ma had to think about it.

"It's not appropriate..."

After hearing this, the ghost walkers hurriedly waved their hands and said, "We are ghost walkers, and you are the Blood Food Gang. There is no reason for us to eat your food."

"this……"

Hu Ma didn't realize this before.

The Ghost Walkers come from the village, but the Blood Food Gang is a gang organization with Tai Sui's flesh and blood as its core. The two sides are not usually on the same page.

But after thinking for a moment, he said to Xiao Hongtang: "Go to Datong and tell him that we will take rice, noodles, wine and vegetables from the village, set up a flowing table in Huanggou Village, and then invite all the ghosts around to come over. He is very enthusiastic." Come and help me, we can’t let anyone go back hungry.”

"Also... also ask him, how many casualties are there?"

"..."

Xiao Hongtang jumped off the horse and ran away with her short legs.

She found Zhou Datong quickly. Now they have not returned to Zhuangzi to rest. They are just helping to dig holes in the next village to bury those strange boys in green.

These boys in green clothes took advantage of the chaos and ran over to kill people. They were full of ferocity and unstoppable. However, after the evil spirits in green clothes were taken away, they suddenly became weak and were beaten to death by the angry villagers.

This kind of person is a typical demon. If he is beaten to death, he will be beaten to death. He will dig a hole and bury it with rocks on top.

The government office with the same decoration would probably not come over to take care of it.

Of course, even if they came to take charge, the angry villagers would not show mercy.

"Don't bury it yet..."

After Hu Ma knew about it, he immediately told them: "Burn it first, pour oil on it, and then mash it after it's burned."

"Crush it and bury it in a pig pen to suppress evil!"

"..."

While talking, he demonstrated one in person, and then asked Zhou Datong and the others to go back to Zhuangzi to get rice, noodles, vegetables and meat.

When the guys came over, the head of the village also understood what Hu Ma meant. He just mobilized some people, put up a tent in the village, put up tables and chairs, then set up a big pot, and found people to go to each village. He shouted inside and asked those ghost walkers who helped to come over for dinner.

But after the living people were placed, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart when she heard about the deaths and injuries of the ghost walkers.

Among the ghost walkers who came from various places to help, three died, seven or eight were seriously injured, and some were still unconscious until now after being sprayed with a breath of Yin Qi by the evil spirit that suddenly became powerful.

After hearing this, Hu Ma could only sigh lowly and settle it bit by bit.

If they are dead, they will be carefully restrained, and other ghost walkers will be asked to identify them and write down their identities and names.

This needs to be sent back properly.

For those who were injured, Zhuangzi took out the black oil, blood wine, white food, green food, and even blood food that could see the light.

I gave them to each person one by one to treat their injuries, and then went back to the empress for reimbursement.

When these ghost walkers saw these things, they were a little surprised. They usually visited villages and villages and had a bowl of meat and vegetables. When had they ever been treated so richly?

From this point, Hu Ma did find that everyone was in the same family, but there was a big difference between the ghost walkers and the keepers. The keepers were not poor, not to mention rich, but the ghost walkers were really simple.

Maybe what they have on them is valuable, that is, some of the items they use when wandering ghosts, but they are only valuable in a specific circle.

And after he settled these people, he returned to Zhuangzi and had a light sleep.

Since he left Zhuangzi's door, he has not closed his eyes for two days and three nights, and has been running around and fighting continuously. Even with the support of a person who watches the year, he can no longer hold on. When he lay down, He slept for two hours before suddenly waking up again.

When they reached the inner courtyard, they saw Li Wazi also lying on the bed, nursing his injuries and being fed porridge.

However, Zhou Datong and others were nowhere to be seen. After asking, they found out that there were many things going on in the villages and they went over to help.

Hu MaBian also washed his face, sobered himself up, and left Zhuangzi.

It was already late at night, but after such a scene, the night was even safer than during the day, but he still saw a lot of ghost walkers, who were still busy in various places.

Some were burning incense, some were burning paper, and some had set up altars and recited something in a low voice.

Hu Ma saw a pious and mysterious temperament on their faces, so she just stood aside silently, waiting for them to finish the ritual before stepping forward to speak.

"Little shopkeeper."

The old man who took the cow and his little grandson out to get rid of evil spirits nodded and smiled when he saw Hu Ma.

They usually don't have much contact with the Blood Food Gang, but they all have a good impression of Hu Ma.

Hu Ma saw him lighting up a lot of incense and walking in the field. Every time he came across a grave, he put one in it. She was a little confused about his intention, so she politely asked in a low voice: "Old man." What sir is doing now is..."

"An Zhen."

The old man smiled with his teeth exposed and said: "You ghost man, you not only have to take care of the living, but also the dead."

"This time of trouble, not only the people suffered, but they also suffered."

"Don't look at how violent the commotion was during the day. In fact, many of them did not do so voluntarily. They were suppressed by evil spirits and could not help themselves. Moreover, they were all seriously injured..."

"After all, they are all souls that cannot enter the underworld. They are left in this world to wait for death. When the haunting occurs, we have to take care of the living people, but after the haunting is over, we can't just throw them there..."

"..."

"The soul that cannot enter the underworld..."

Hu Ma was slightly shocked when she heard this.

Hu Ma took a deep breath and looked up into the depths of the night. There were few lights in this era, and at night, everything was pitch black.

But now, in this deep night, we can see the undulating flames at the entrance of each village or in the fields. Occasionally, we can hear the low voices from the distance. They are ancient, mysterious, but also full of charm. A reassuring temperament.

The practices of these ghost walkers seem to follow some ancient rules.

And this was something I had never thought about before: Is there really an underworld in this world?

If so, why is the world so troubled and the order of yin and yang disrupted?

In my own practice, I have always paid more attention to the methods of keeping the New Year's Eve, because I can see clearly and touch it, and it is true. Although the book of keeping the New Year's Eve is overbearing, I don't know it in my heart.

Because it seems to be mastering power beyond one's own limits, the reincarnated person does not like this feeling of leaving his fate in the hands of others.

But this time, with the help of Tiger Tiger, he used the method in the Zhensui book, and Hu Ma truly felt the existence of that power. It seemed to be a kind of authority, as if he was summoning a solemn and solemn spirit. strength.

That is not my own power, I am just using it, just like the county magistrate interrogating the prisoners under the platform.

Where does that power come from?

"Old sir, I'm not a ghost hunter. I'm just curious. Do the souls of these dead people really have a destination?"

He organized the words in his mind, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and asked the ghost man softly.

"Of course."

The old ghost man smiled. When he was with Hu Ma, he didn't feel as uncomfortable as when facing the bosses of the Blood Food Gang. Instead, he seemed to be chatting with his own juniors, so he was willing to talk more.

He smiled and said: "Impermanence seduces the soul, the judge judges the crime, and the reincarnation of hell, aren't they all there..."

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt even more bizarre and said, "Then why are there so many filthy things in the world? Why do you say they can't enter the underworld?"

"Because the door to hell is closed..."

The old ghost walker said: "I have been locked up for many years. It is because the underworld is closed and there are no rules anymore, so there are more and more wandering souls, and the ghost walkers have more and more work..."

"closed?"

Hu Ma was even more surprised: "Why is it closed? Since it is said to be closed, does it mean it was closed before?"

"Then since there is an underworld, there are also soul seducers who are reincarnated?"

“Have the old-timers ever seen these things?”

"..."

The old ghost man originally had a smile on his face, but now he is a little embarrassed.

I thought this little shopkeeper was a good person, but I didn't expect that he was here to try to cash in on me...

"Where can I meet you?"

He glared at Hu Ma angrily: "The underworld is closed, evil ghosts are born, and the world is in chaos. Later, some capable people came forward, and they used dusk as the boundary and set the rules. When people are evil, everyone can do their own thing... …”

"...That's what everyone else said!"
