Twilight Boundary

"other side……"

Butler Zhou followed the crowd in the donkey cart with his head down. Hearing Hu Ma's words, he was obviously a little nervous. He slowly said: "It's not blocking the bridge, nor is it for such an idea. I think the other party is more like... Block people.”

After hearing this, Hu Ma nodded slowly: "That's right."

If the other party only wants to offer money for this idea, and the money has already been collected, there is no need to stop the person on the bridge. If it is to harm someone, there is no reason to let him go in the end.

After thinking about it, there was only one reason, that is, they wanted to see the person inside the coffin.

Of course, they don't necessarily just look at people in their own group. They have done tricks on the bridge so that if they have a suspicious past, they can find an excuse to take a look at them.

Listening to those people, yesterday they talked about the bride who fell into the river, maybe it was also to force the people in the sedan to come out and have a good look at her.

Who are you looking for?

Or perhaps, are you worried about who will cross the bridge quietly?

While he was thinking about it, the donkey cart kept stopping, and Housekeeper Zhou nervously got on the donkey cart, pulled open the coffin lid, wiped Xiang Yatou's face clean with a clean towel, and filled the air with a bag of stinky He took out the things and threw them aside.

He is a magician, and a magician knows a lot about things, including disguises, make-up, and tricking people.

Hu Ma had seen the way Butler Zhou put makeup on her this week. Before crossing the river, she vaguely felt something was wrong, so she asked Butler Zhou to buy offerings while she went to put makeup on Xiang Yatou.

With Zhou's housekeeper's ability, he transformed the sleeping Xiang girl into as if she was dead. Of course, it was not a big problem. There were also vendors selling fresh river food by the river, and some lost rotten fish and shrimps. He picked some up and the taste was good. It's been done enough.

It was thanks to his skill just now that I was able to safely pass this level.

"No matter what, it's easy to cross the bridge, so hurry up!"

Hu Ma looked at the coffin where Xiang Yatou was sleeping, and whispered: "We have encountered a lot of troubles on this trip. I always feel that the closer we get to Anzhou, the less secure we are."

"Auntie looked at the methods used by the people guarding the bridge. What kind of skills did they have?"

"..."

Aunt Zhang had also been listening and didn't quite understand the conversation between Hu Ma and Housekeeper Zhou. After hearing the words, she thought silently and said: "It should be the evil tricks in the sect that harmed the head. This kind of work is mostly done by some black-hearted carpenters and masons. Well people and the like will do it.”

"If there are torn shoes tied on the bridge, it will be difficult for passers-by to cross the bridge smoothly. If there are paper figures buried under the bed, sleeping on them will give you nightmares all day long. When the beams are raised out of alignment, the lives of the people in the house will be uncomfortable."

"The methods used in these sects are not evil spirits, but they are better than evil spirits. Did you know that you should have found a way to cross the river?"

"..."

"Auntie, don't think so."

Hu Ma silently recited the name of the murderer in her heart, but she laughed and said: "The other party has made so many preparations on the bridge. If they cross the river, it will be more troublesome to specify."

"We don't need to think too much now, we'll figure it out later."

"..."

Everyone was just worried, and they immediately accelerated their journey.

And not long after they left, as expected, the people on both sides of the bridge who had just entered the bridge with knives also felt that something was not right the more they thought about it, and suddenly they realized what they were doing.

Among them, there was a smart person who thought about it for a long time and suddenly said: "Boss Mangzi, there was something wrong with those people who were supporting the spirits just now..."

"If the person in the coffin is so badly rotted, why does the coffin look so new?"

When he said this, the people next to him also reacted: "Yes, when the old man cried, he said that his seventy-year-old mother-in-law was in the coffin."

"But look at the clothes the person in the coffin is wearing, she looks like a young girl..."

"..."

Hearing what they said, the leader who was picking up a bowl to drink was also stunned. After thinking about it carefully, his face suddenly changed. He slammed the bowl hard and stood up and said: "Damn, I hunt geese all day long, but they are the ones who beat me." Sneaked past."

"Nine times out of ten, this is the person that the godmother is looking for. The godmother said that what she is looking for is a young girl, and she must be unconscious. It is impossible to say, she is the one in the coffin."

As he spoke, he hurriedly raised his knife and stick, and shouted: "Let's go, catch up!"

At the same time, Hu Ma and others who had crossed the river were already on their way to Dongchang Mansion in a hurry.

Dongchang Mansion is a big city. They had planned to enter the city before dark, but they were delayed in crossing the river, so they arrived at this time.

Aunt Zhang had been to this place before to support people, and she was quite familiar with it. When she arrived at the edge of the city, she did not enter the city. It was dark, and she knew where to go. She only took people half way around, but she arrived. In the mountains west of the city.

Going up the mountain road, we saw a hut in the woods in the distance. There was a pick at the door with a white lantern on it.

But now the lantern has long been extinguished and is swaying in the night wind.

"Light the lantern, let's rest here at night."

Aunt Zhang ordered everyone to light the lanterns and then entered the house.

After asking about it, I found out that this is a corpse removal shop, which is specially used for ghost walkers who come and go to rest. In the early years, there were many places in various places. Now that the world is in chaos, there are fewer corpse removals, so it is vacant.

The lanterns outside the door are not for guests to see, but for outsiders to see. If the spirit-supporting ghosts live here, they should light up the lanterns to let passers-by know that enemies live here and not to come over and bump into each other.

There was no one in the store, but there was an oil lamp on the cabinet with some lamp oil left in it.

They lit the oil lamp and looked around, and unexpectedly discovered that there was some dusty firewood under the stove.

"Everything here can be used."

Aunt Zhang said: "After using it, we will replenish it when we leave tomorrow. We can also leave some of the rice we brought with us and put it here for the convenience of other colleagues."

"..."

"Yes Yes."

Everyone else agreed and prepared to make a fire to cook, but Hu Ma had always looked worried. Now after thinking about it all the way, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Agu, I want you to work harder and walk forward to find a safe place." The place is waiting for us.”

Agu Zhang was startled for a moment, then she immediately reacted: "Do you think those murderers on the bridge might catch up with them again?"

Hu Ma nodded and said: "It was too hasty just now. Although it was hidden from the other party for a while, there are too many flaws, and the other party may not be able to react."

"Besides, if we really catch up, we can just ask them."

"..."

Even Butler Zhou was startled when he heard this, and silently thought about whether he had left any flaws just now, but he had done it in a hurry, and if he had left it, there would be nothing he could do.

Aunt Zhang worriedly said: "There are a lot of people on the other side, can you do it? You are the boss, I should keep helpers."

"Auntie, please come here to help support the spirits and drive away evil spirits."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Now this seems to be a man-made disaster, so I don't need to worry about it!"

Aunt Zhang looked at it and saw that Hu Ma was serious, so she nodded. She didn't even finish the meal. She took the handlebar and the waiter first, drove the donkey cart and waited in front.

Hu Ma and Butler Zhou stayed behind, looked at each other, and simply left the store to guard in the woods outside.

It was late at night, but the surroundings had been quiet. Only the white lanterns on the poles outside the fence gave off a dim light.

I don't know how long I waited, but suddenly I heard rustling footsteps on the path in the distance, and saw a group of seven or eight people, all carrying knives and sticks, quietly approaching.

Seeing that it was the group of murderers they met on the bridge today, including the boatman who was punting the boat, they saw the white lantern at the door of the inn, and immediately became more cautious, approaching little by little.

"Boss Mang, carrying a white lantern, I knew they had to live here."

Someone said proudly, and the others huddled next to them, discussing in low voices.

Hu Ma was on the tree above their heads, refining life and death without revealing any trace, and could hear their words clearly.

Housekeeper Zhou didn't know where he was hiding them. They were better at hiding the tricks than the people watching the New Year's Eve.

"Everyone, be careful. Nine times out of ten, this is the person your godmother is looking for."

The old man said: "If we take them away, we will get all the money..."

Someone next to me said cautiously: "Boss Mang, when will Cui Ganniang come?"

The old man said: "My godmother is guarding the ferry seventy miles away. When we are sure, we will invite her."

"If not, she will lose her temper when she comes."

"..."

"Then we have to be careful..."

There were actually some shrewd people in the group, who said: "Master Qiao didn't follow me, but there is someone in the other party who can walk away."

"This kind of person is so evil, he always has little ghosts around him!"

"..."

Boss Mang let out a low sigh and said, "Did you bring all the lime you dug with you?"

"After entering, no matter who it is, first spray it on her face, then cover her head and chop her for a while. It doesn't matter whether she is a ghost or not. She will die as if she was stabbed."

"..."

"Lime?"

Hu Ma thought helplessly for a moment: "Shouldn't this be the trick of our reincarnated people?"

With a low sigh, seeing that the group of people had reached a consensus, they dispersed and surrounded the inn. Suddenly they shouted and rushed into the inn together, only to hear a lot of noise inside.

He also gently jumped down from the tree, walked a few steps towards the inn, listened to the movement inside, and raised his hands gently.

Since they used lime, they should use a move that is more in line with the characteristics of this world...

He clasped his hands and bowed towards the house. Suddenly there was a gloomy wind and the white lanterns at the door were fluttering.

In the noisy and flustered room, there was a sudden silence, and there were also the sounds of many people falling.

After Hu Ma bowed his head, he straightened up immediately, drew his sword and rushed in. At a glance, he saw these murderous people, standing there as dumb as logs. His soul had not yet returned to its place. The four ghosts in his own hands knocked on the door, and the people in the doorway were hit. It takes a long time to slow down.

What's more, these vicious men who run around in the world?

Hu Ma looked at the steel knives, hooks, and a handful of lime in their hands. They all looked like they were committing murder and stealing, and her face suddenly sank slightly.

I originally thought I had a lot to ask them, but I suddenly changed my mind.

Kill a few first and then talk!
