Twilight Boundary

Seeing the seriousness of what the second master said, Hu Ma immediately cheered up and listened.

The second master said in a low voice: "Second master, I am a poor village. In the eyes of people, not everyone dares to enter. In the eyes of evil spirits, no one dares to enter. Xiao Hongtang usually comes to deliver food to you, but she doesn't dare to enter the village. Why?" "

"The fire here is too strong, let alone the evil spirit coming in, it will make you panic if you get close."

"I chose to live in the Zhuangzi outside and teach my disciples here. Actually, it is because we people are too angry and are afraid of offending the ancestors..."

"..."

Hu Ma was slightly shocked: "Does this mean the evil spirit coming here is very powerful?"

Xiao Hongtang really didn't dare to enter Zhuangzi usually, and would sneak in when the second master was not around.

But she just didn't dare, so she could get in if she had to bite the bullet.

Do you think the white-faced mountain leader is like this too?

"It's not that simple."

The second master waved his hand and said: "It is said to be evil spirits, but it is actually a general term. Those evil things include filth, evil spirits, evil things, evil spirits, etc...."

"The ones who usually bump into the villagers in our village are actually wanderers, those little devils who are unwilling to die unjustly. They act on instinct. When they see our village from a distance, they run away in fear. "

"And that white-faced mountain leader can really be called an evil spirit, and he is also a powerful one."

"But even this thing, considering the heat of your current stove, it should be afraid of you. At least no one wants to provoke anyone."

"But here's the problem. This guy has already developed his spiritual wisdom and knows how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. He knows that the furnace is full of fire, and he also knows that the second master and I are in the village. Why did he attract someone here specifically? Harm you?"

"..."

Hu Ma vaguely thought of something and was slightly shocked: "Second Master, what do you mean..."

"good."

The second master nodded and lowered his voice: "This goes against its nature. I suspect there is something driving it."

"Tomorrow, you have to tell your mother-in-law about this. I'm worried that it may have something to do with harming your family."

"..."

"The family that harmed me?"

Hu Ma felt a little horrified in her heart, thinking of the tragic situation of her predecessor.

A mother-in-law who guarded such a great ability was so traumatized that she was given the opportunity to be reincarnated.

He raised his head suddenly and whispered: "Second Master, do you know who that family is?"

"How did I become like this in the first place?"

"..."

The second master shook his head, the wrinkles on his forehead sinking deeply, and whispered: "I asked my mother-in-law, but she never told me..."

"I only know that this should be the enmity your Hu family made outside. Counting the time when your Hu family came to Dayangzhaizi, it must have been twenty years ago. But that family was so ruthless, you Hu There is only an old and a young child left in the family, and they are still not letting go."

"This is going to make your Hu family extinct..."

"..."

The second master said with a little anger in his voice.

He paused, relaxed, and then continued: "As for your matter, it must have been a month and a half ago. I remember that there was a strange wind blowing that night, and then I heard that you were lost."

"My mother-in-law went out to fend for the people in the village and was not in the village. The people in the village did not dare to go out at night. When my mother-in-law came back the next day, we hurriedly looked for her together. I also went there the next day. I'll look for those who came back after listening to the letter."

"But after searching for two days in the forest, there was no trace at all. I rushed to pay homage to my ancestors, but I found that the ancestors didn't respond at that time. It seemed like they had lost their ability."

"Later, no one knew what happened. They only know that my mother-in-law seemed to have used some magic method to find you with a few people, and then on the third day, she personally carried you back..."

"..."

Speaking of this, the second master's eyes seemed to become a little strange.

Hu Ma said carefully: "What's wrong?"

The second master shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

He vaguely recalled that everyone in the village thought that Hu Ma was hopeless, and some people who had just found Hu Ma swore in private that all the people in Hu Ma were dead at that time, and they looked horrifying, and his mother-in-law insisted that he was not dead. , saved the village.

Who would have thought afterwards that Hu Ma actually came back alive? It can only be said that her mother-in-law is very capable.

The second master was a little frightened when he thought about this, but it was too shocking, so there was no need to tell Hu Ma now.

He continued: "At first, everyone thought they were bewitched by the evil spirits in the forest. My mother-in-law didn't say anything to anyone else. She just complained to me privately. Ordinary evil spirits don't have the ability to enter the village and abduct people, and let Lao Huotangzi die. The reaction is that an enemy of the Hu family is here."

"She first brought you back to the stockade, and then went out of the stockade. That night, everyone in the stockade couldn't sleep peacefully. They could hear the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the forest, and the strong wind blew in the forest all night. Didn’t stop.”

"That night, none of the chickens, pigs, or dogs in the village dared to snort."

"No one in the entire village dared to light a lamp, because the lamp turned out to be green when lit, and it looked so gloomy and scary."

"But finally, my mother-in-law came back. She just looked very tired and lay in bed all day."

When the second master said this, he knocked his pipe and pot, paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "Later, my mother-in-law spent several days of hard work and really rescued you. Everyone else thought that everything was fine."

"Only not long ago, my mother-in-law came to my place privately and told me that the thing that harmed you was only injured by her and was still wandering around outside. She finally rescued you and came back. Once the thing is noticed, Then I will definitely come back and harm you again..."

"To be honest, my mother-in-law sent you to my place. In addition to letting you learn my skills, she also wanted me to protect you. Only when I protect you can she have the time to go to the woods and take care of that guy."

"That's why I'm worried now. This white-faced mountain leader is here for you, maybe it has something to do with it."

"..."

Hu Ma was speechless for a long time after listening to the second master's words.

Leng Buding turned his head and looked out the window, only to see a crescent moon slowly disappearing behind the dark clouds.

It was dark all around, giving people a huge sense of oppression.

In this vast forest that seems to have no boundaries, there is a ghost, watching at any time, wanting to kill itself...

Xiao Hongtang said, her mother-in-law is looking for something in the woods, is she looking for it?

But it stands to reason that the mother-in-law should have the upper hand, but if that is the case, can the other party still have free hands to send the white-faced mountain chief to harm him?

Is it possible...

Hu Ma was horrified: Mother-in-law didn't actually have the upper hand?

With this thought, he felt even more horrified, and he didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

It is true that his mother-in-law is very capable, and he understands it deeply, but after all, her mother-in-law is not young. She looks like an old man in her seventies or eighties, and she can no longer straighten her waist.

And this old man had just spent so much effort to "save" himself.

In order to help me ward off evil spirits, I stayed up all day chanting sutras, and even found myself so much precious and extremely precious blood, Tai Sui, to help me stay alive...

Somehow, Hu Ma felt a little sad in her heart as she thought about it.

How much faith does it take to support an old woman to do so many things?

In this state, no matter how capable she is, how long can she last?

Hu Ma's expression was restrained, but some details were captured by the second master. The upright man could feel Hu Ma's psychological changes, especially the clear emotional fluctuations at that moment, and felt a little comfort in his heart:

"In the village, they used to say that this little Hu Ma is a white-eyed wolf. He has grown so big and relies on his mother-in-law to take care of him every day, and he still doesn't appreciate it. It's really hard to sympathize with him even if you want to."

"But people will always grow up..."

"Elders are not afraid that their children will be ignorant. They are always looking forward to the day when their children will become sensible. When they do, they will feel relieved."

"..."

"..."

"Second Master, I want to go into the forest to help my mother-in-law."

After thinking for a long time, Hu Ma raised his head and spoke to the second master seriously.

"If you can say this, it means your mother-in-law didn't hurt you in vain."

The second master also said seriously: "You are really hot now, but don't make a decision in a hurry."

"My mother-in-law is more capable than us. You should ask your mother-in-law for her opinion first."

"..."

Hu Ma agreed and then went back to the side room to tidy up, but she had something on her mind and couldn't sleep that night.

But after what happened to Bai Mian Shankui, all the friends were also trembling and silent.

When he got up the next day, the second master did not let his friends go out for a mountain run again, as if he was afraid that they would bump into something if they went out. He just did some tricks and practiced in the village.

Hu Ma was also preoccupied and kept waiting for Xiao Hongtang to come over. Unexpectedly, this time he waited until noon and Xiao Hongtang never came. He was a little impatient. When he went outside Zhuangzi, he suddenly saw Hong Tang. The shadow flashed.

"Brother Huma, why did you come out?"

Not far away, Xiao Hongtang was carrying a basket and pouted: "I've been calling you for a long time..."

"Eh?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised, thinking why didn't she hear it?

Turning around, he saw a faint circle of ashes around Zhuangzi, and then he suddenly understood.

Yesterday, Shan Kui made a fuss. The second master was afraid that something might happen, so he spread the ancestral ashes around the outside of the village.

Unexpectedly, it not only blocked other evil spirits, but also blocked Xiao Hongtang.

He hurriedly walked over, took the basket, and said, "Go back early today and tell my mother-in-law something for me..."

I wanted to finish eating quickly so that Xiao Hongtang could go back quickly, but unexpectedly, when I opened it, I saw that the basket was empty.

"No food..."

Xiao Hongtang said stupidly: "You ate all the rice in the basket yesterday!"

Hu Ma was a little surprised: "What about today?"

"I don't know today..."

Xiao Hongtang said pitifully: "I can't find my mother-in-law..."
