Twilight Boundary

While the Red Lantern Lady was filled with nervousness and knelt down devoutly to write the letter of guarantee, the atmosphere in the village was cheerful, with wine, food, and food being served.

Hu Ma was originally worried that she would not be able to get back the blood, money and food she had spent on those ghosts earlier. Who would have thought that the empress was so easy to talk to now, and she immediately recognized the boss deeply.

After the Red Lantern Lady left, Manager Xu also smiled, relaxed, and said, "Everything will be different from now on."

"Nephew Hu, I have to say that your behavior was nothing in the past, but now we, the Red Lantern Lady, are different. You help the people, eliminate evil and bring peace to the people. That is what we, the Red Lantern Lady, do. I will like it the most..."

"..."

"I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I'm afraid I'm going to be set up as a role model?"

Hu Ma also vaguely reacted, and the Red Lantern Queen might be afraid that because of this incident, she would really be different from before.

While thinking about it, something stirred in his mind, and he asked Manager Xu: "In other words, what happened this time can be regarded as a credit to some extent?"

Manager Xu smiled and said, "Isn't that a credit?"

"Besides, the person named Zheng is missing. No one is taking care of this matter. I will report it to you first."

"..."

Seeing the proud look on his face, Hu Ma felt a little moved in her heart, and laughed in a low voice: "The seats of the three major incense masters of the Red Lantern Society are all available, but now one is vacant."

"Could it be that when the time comes, Uncle Xu will be promoted to another level?"

"..."

"Why!"

When Manager Xu heard this, he straightened his face, waved his hands and said, "That position is so important, who will get me?"

Then he smiled again and whispered: "He has already started walking."

"The old guys all praise me, so I can't help but appreciate it. If I come up, I can do a little favor for everyone, right?"

"..."

Okay!

Hu Ma was shocked. This incident caused a stir in the city, and all relevant and unrelated people were involved.

Who would have thought that Lao Xu would be the most profitable in the end?

As the two sides talked, Hu Ma sent people to the town to order food and wine. It was Li Xiangyu, the yellow-haired girl, who brought the food box and delivered it in person, which made the guys in the village become more excited.

Hu Ma also entertained Manager Xu for a meal, and talked about many things that only his own people could talk about, the impact on this matter, as well as the Red Lantern Empress building a temple and taking over the Blood Food Gang and various industries under the name of the Tsing Yi Gang. After a lot of inquiry, everyone was very happy.

When they were full of wine and food, they were sent out to prepare to close the village to rest.

But just as he lay down, there was a sudden knock on the door. When he opened it, he was greatly surprised.

It turned out to be the incense burner who had left during the day. Now he rode a horse and appeared at the entrance of Zhuangzi. The two of them each pulled a rope and carried a cabinet. Without saying a word, they directly put the cabinet on the door. He walked to the door and said, "I reward you for this."

"But don't tell anyone about this reward. From now on, just stay in this village and do your best."

"..."

"reward?"

Hu Ma was startled: "Did it come so fast this time?"

Wait, what happened this time, even if it is a merit, is not worth such an impatient reward. There is no need to let the incense burner sneak over in the middle of the night, and say something about not letting anyone talk about it...

Hu Ma looked at the silent incense burners and the red lanterns in their hands. She could feel that the light in the red lantern seemed a little uneasy, as if her eyes were secretly watching her reaction.

Suddenly something came to my mind: "Good guy, is this red light girl blocking my mouth?"

"Thank you for the reward..."

Hu Ma quickly thanked the reward, watched the two incense burners in silence, took the horse and left.

Then he moved the big box into his inner courtyard. Zhou Datong and others were curious about what was in the box, but Hu Ma just glared at him and told him not to talk about it.

But after entering the inner courtyard and opening the box, I suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Not to mention the bottles and jars inside, there are actually large pieces of blood Tai Sui that have not been made into blood food pills. In addition, there are also some pearls, gold and silver. Those who don’t know better think that the Red Lantern Empress has given her dowry. All moved here.

She knew in her heart that the Red Lantern Empress was afraid that she would expose the things she had been cowardly about before and ruin her reputation, so she used some things that did not go into public accounts and asked the most strict incense burner to send them to her so that she could put them in her hands. This thing is rotten in my stomach.

But why go to all this trouble? Wouldn't it be better to just silence me?

Then I thought about it, I can't extinguish it. The Red Lantern Lady today is probably the kindest she has been in so many years.

Moreover, you have to be kind in the future.

I sighed in my heart, but moved slightly: "Now this little girl is so scared, if something happens in the future, can I also use the New Year's book to beat her secretly?"

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is feasible, but it’s a bit of a loss.

The Red Lantern Empress is quite pitiful. She looks like she built a temple, but in fact she has three evil spirits under her control...

I was in a good mood, and after counting, I found that there were more than thirty blood pills in these bottles and jars, which was more than the rewards I had received from the fight I had helped win earlier.

This does not include the piece of blood Tai Sui that looks like more than two kilograms. As for the gold, silver and jewelry mixed in it, of course they are all good things, but compared with these blood foods, they are not enough at all... …

"Xiao Hongtang, go on!"

Hu Ma suppressed the excitement in her heart, pulled out the stopper, pinched a blood food pill, and threw it to Xiao Hongtang.

When Xiao Hongtang chewed it in her mouth, she was still a little disbelieving, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

Blood food, is it really blood food?

"look……"

Seeing her excited look, Hu Ma felt a little proud of herself and said, "Are our days getting better and better?"

Xiao Hongtang nodded her head excitedly and said, "Can I eat blood food every day in the future?"

"..."

Hu Ma suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "This condition is still unattainable for the time being..."

This reward, or in other words, this hush money, actually comes at the right time!

I am worried about practicing the blood food of the fifth organ.

If we really rely on the small amount of food and money in this village to save the blood and food that can rejuvenate our hearts, then I really don’t know how many years it will take...

Then practice!

Hu Ma, who is deeply aware of the importance of skills, has no reason to stop at this moment.

From that night on, he tried to stop the Blood Tai Sui's supply of blood energy to his heart, and instead practiced Taoism.

thump!

The last ray of blood was withdrawn from the heart, and after the last beat, there was a long period of dead silence.

The cold feeling spread from his heart to his entire body.

It seemed that it was at this moment that Hu Ma truly felt the difference between herself and others again.

My body is like a dead person...

Without the strange vitality of Xue Tai Sui, even his heart wouldn't beat.

After sighing lowly in his heart, he immediately mobilized his Taoism and started practicing step by step.

From this moment, the water-grinding skill of refining the fifth internal organs begins.

Whether it was the hush money he got from the Red Lantern Lady, the gift given to him by the bald old man, or the blood food he earned from his previous sex with Erguotou and Miss Baijiu, he had already quietly taken it out. , hidden under the bed.

He ate a lot of it every day, and then borrowed the abundant Taoism brought by this blood food to bring it over bit by bit, injecting vitality into his heart.

Hu Ma had trained the four internal organs earlier, and from the old shopkeeper's notes, he knew that the fifth internal organs were extremely difficult to train and required a lot of blood food. But at the time, he didn't know the specific reason, but now he understands.

The heart is different from others. It is the place where qi and blood change. A ray of vitality only stops briefly and then goes with it. It cannot really stop. It is so nourishing.

Refining the other four internal organs requires heavy blows with a hammer, repeated over and over again.

Only the heart, like water, keeps pounding, day and night, without stopping.

Of course, the difference from the ordinary water droplets that penetrate the stone is that the water flow he uses to hit the heart is full of gold sand.

Before practicing this dirty trick, he thought that ghost people were the most expensive.

Only now do I understand that people who watch the New Year's Eve can even be burned without blinking an eye...

The hush money I got this time was really real. I don’t know how many years it would take other shopkeepers to save it with their combined profit and greed.

But now, it seems to be barely enough?

…

However, there is no rush in refining the fifth viscera, but Hu Ma has had time to polish it slowly. Now all the guys in Zhuangzi have followed it and have become much more stable.

In addition, when it was time to collect blood for food, there was not much work in Zhuangzi, and they could handle it themselves. Of course, there were very few evil things around Zhuangzi now, but it was not as troublesome as other Zhuangzi.

Now, besides patrolling the night, the most important thing for Zhou Datong and his fellows is to mediate conflicts such as fights and disputes among people in the village.

Two gangs of fighting men fought together, armed with spears and sticks. Zhou Datong leaned over and coughed, and then they all became honest.

He is simply more useful than the elders in these villages.

And the temple of the Red Lantern Empress has also begun to be built. This little girl may soon be able to receive incense.

It's just that Hu Ma wonders, in this world, is it true that even a righteous god who has received incense is still a puppet manipulated by others?

As day by day passed, Hu Ma's heart training gradually improved, and Zhuangzi's surroundings became more and more stable. He vaguely remembered the overwhelming troubles in the past, just like a nightmare that had gradually faded away, and felt a little uncomfortable. Real feeling.

On this day, Hu Ma also took a few more blood food pills, performed the exercises, and walked out of the inner courtyard.

If he hadn't eaten too many blood food pills and wasted them, he would have wanted to swallow them all in one gulp.

I wanted to see how the guys were doing while I was out of charge, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came out, I heard a shout from the outer courtyard.

There was real surprise in the voices of the guys. There was a rush of running footsteps and shouts of "here we come" and "put on your clothes quickly". The whole person was a little surprised. Already...

These boys are still sensible and know how much they take care of them.

As he thought about it, he slowed down, thinking that he would have to comfort them with a few words to work hard and learn their skills.

Then as soon as I left the inner courtyard, I was a little confused.

I saw no one looking at me, they all blocked the entrance of Zhuangzi and surrounded the yellow-haired girl who came in.
