Twilight Boundary

As a ghost walker, since he was waiting for the other party to come to his door, how could he be so stupid as to wait for the other party here with only a knife?

Of course I wanted to set up the altar, but I just did it in a concealed manner so as not to be noticed by the other party.

It was precisely because of the altar that Hu Ma could safely fight with the opponent. He borrowed the life evil spirit of one of the five evil altar envoys to practice the special skills of the New Year's Keeper that he had recently practiced.

It is also because I am in my own altar that I can use my body to resist the other party's evil spirits. I have an intuitive and real understanding of the power of these five altar evil spirits. Otherwise, just relying on my own behavior as a person to watch the year, even if it is Can't hold on.

As for the more important reason, it is to prevent the other party from being frightened and running away, and there is no way to control it quietly.

Of course, after they actually fought, Hu Ma felt that the idea of ​​using the other party to try out his unique skills was miscalculated, and it was really impossible to try it out.

After all, after experiencing what it's like to be a New Year's Eve watcher like Ji Tang, others seem a bit dull.

Now, things are going smoothly on his side. Looking at the Fate Messenger who was restrained by his shackles, Hu Ma also let out a low sigh, knowing that the first step of the plan has been completed, and the rest depends on others. .

After fighting once, I found that the Five Evil Altar Envoys were somewhat capable, but as long as they could guard against one evil breath, they were not very powerful. How could they be their opponents?

The difference only depends on what kind of tricks they do, right?

…

Also when Hu Ma was pulling out the flesh demon for the village next to Niujiawan, many things were happening one after another in Mingzhou Mansion, which was still calm on the surface.

To the northwest of Laoyin Mountain, Yuqian Village is located at the intersection of Mingzhou and Gunzhou. This village is not very wealthy. Most of the people in this village are farming and collecting herbs, but they can produce people who live a long life.

In other places, a person who lives to be fifty or sixty years old is already considered a senior citizen, and a person who lives to be seventy or eighty years old is considered to be in mourning. But in this village, old people aged seventy or eighty are not uncommon. Several old people lived to be over a hundred years old.

Naturally, there are also some people in the sect who are curious about whether the village has good feng shui, or whether there are any elixirs for extending life, and they often come to see it.

But after taking a look, I found that the feng shui of this village was only average, not the best. After all, it was surrounded by mountains. There were some herbs, but when they were picked and boiled into decoction, they didn't have any more medicinal properties than other places.

"Outsiders can't understand it."

Only some elderly people who are over seventy years old will occasionally drink too much and tell their children with a smile: "Our village has a spiritual life!"

"In the pond behind the village, we don't dare to let the dolls go there and cause mischief, for fear that they will collide with the Xian family!"

"We have seen that there is an old turtle the size of a millstone in that pond. It was chosen to practice in our village. It brought us the shadow and allowed the people in our village to live longer..."

"..."

Whether there really is such an old turtle in the pond behind the village, no one has seen it.

Many old people swear that there is, and often bring incense and candles as offerings to worship, but no one among the younger generation has seen it. After all, the pond is only a few feet long. How can a turtle the size of a millstone be accommodated?

But on this day, several young people in the village suddenly fell ill. They couldn't drink the soup and were almost dying. However, a wandering doctor came over. When he saw the young people, his expression suddenly changed. , and looked around anxiously.

Finally, as if facing a formidable enemy, he summoned someone and said: "Your village is in big trouble. There is an old turtle who is borrowing his life..."

"I just want to ask you, are there any young children in the village who die young? There are often no illnesses and no disasters, but suddenly they are gone? Those are all people whose life was borrowed..."

The villagers were shocked and hurriedly asked how to explain it. The other party calculated it with his fingers and said: "Build a tower on the pond and give it a town, so that it can give us back the life it borrowed!"

…

…

There is also a small and prosperous village at the foot of a mountain ridge. It is said that the ancestors of this village were originally foot traders. When passing by, they were late on their way and rested on the mountain ridge.

Under the moon, I saw gold and silver dolls playing here at the bottom of the stream, so I decided that this was a geomantic treasure land that would bring fortune, so I bought this land from the government, and farmed here, and it has been reproduced for generations. Became Dazhuangzi.

And the descendants of the village are indeed living a prosperous and prosperous life. Many young people in the village go out to do mule and horse business. They are called mule and horse gangs by outsiders and are well-known good farmers in this area.

They remembered the legend of the gold and silver doll passed down orally from their ancestors. Although the gold and silver doll did not belong to the hall and no one had seen it, it was secretly kept in the ancestral hall and they had to burn incense before doing business.

On this day, a gambler came and pulled two large carts and wanted to bet with others.

I don't think he had any special skills. At first he just guessed the date core in his hand. If he guessed correctly, he would be given a foot of cloth. If he guessed wrong, he would only lose a hard-faced steamed bun in his hand.

The villagers only thought it was a joke. After winning twice, they actually won the cloth, so word spread all of a sudden, and countless people came to watch the fun.

This man seemed stupid and stupid, losing more than he won. He quickly lost a cart of cloth, and then he also pressed the mules and horses pulling the cart. He also took out the copper coins and silver pancakes in the chain and continued gambling. With.

The villagers were also attracted by this opportunity to make a fortune. A huge gamble was like sticks hitting sparks. The more they gambled, the more intense they became. It lasted for two days in a row.

At this time, several elders in the village who could speak and manage things fell ill, and they became increasingly unruly.

The people in the village did not know how much benefit they gained from winning from this gambler. They became more interested in gambling and began to gamble with each other. Instead, they lost and won all because of this gambler.

Little did he know that the overwhelming anger caused two children, one gold and one silver, to run out of the ancestral hall. They wanted to wash themselves in the stream, but they were caught by the gambler who came out with an excuse to let the water go, and a sack was placed over them. On the head.

He found a quiet and uninhabited place, tied his mouth with hemp rope, and then whipped him into the sack with a whip.

Finally, when he heard the begging for mercy inside, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he came back with the sack on his back to continue gambling.

He had lost all the two carts of cloth and other goods he had brought, so he reached into the sack and groped for a long time. He took out a gold lump and a silver lump and put them on the table. Eyes, who cares what he brings.

As the gambling became more and more intense, the man began to win, winning back everything he had lost earlier, and winning an unknown amount of property. The people in the village became increasingly jealous and gnashed their teeth.

…

…

There is also a rich man at the foot of Laoyin Mountain. He built a large house with four rooms, married three wives, and gave birth to four or five children. His family has hundreds of acres of fertile land, and there are many mules and horses.

Everyone in the neighborhood was envious of him, and they often mentioned that his boss was just a cowherd boy when he was young, but it was because of his hard work that he had such a big family business.

But on this day, a man came with a chain on his back. He praised the family for raising cattle and sheep well, and then he picked them up and fell in love with an old cow that was almost unable to get up. Ask the rich man how much money he has and if he is willing to pay for it.

The rich man refused, and just said: "There are many cows in the pen. You can pick them, sir, but this old cow is too old to walk."

"When I was young, I herded cattle for my employer. Later, when my employer moved to the city, I pooled my money to buy it. It was all thanks to its help in plowing the fields and clearing the barren hills that I became able to have this family fortune."

"Now that it is old and can no longer work, I want to care for it until the end of its life, not to mention selling it. Now when my son sees it, he has to call him uncle. It can eat the crops in the field if it wants to. We won’t stop you!”

"..."

"Although you have many mules, horses, cattle and sheep, I really only like this one."

The man with the chain on his back said: "I am willing to give up ten taels of gold. If you nod, the cow will be mine and the gold will be yours."

The farmer was shocked: "You can't chew old meat, how can it be worth ten taels of gold?"

The man with the chain on his back smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, what I bought was not the cow, but the bezoar in the cow's belly!"

"This thing is a treasure, but only we can use it. You don't know the ropes and don't know how to take it. You just took it out and took it out, but you couldn't sell it for a few taels of silver."

"..."

The dealer approached the letter, looked at the golden little ingot, and finally nodded.

The man with the chain on his back took the cow out on the spot, boiled water in the open space, sharpened his knife, and disemboweled the cow.

Perhaps the old cow was so old that he didn't even have the strength to resist. He just knelt down on his knees. The cow's eyes were full of tears. The banker couldn't bear it, but as soon as he touched the twelve taels of gold in his arms, he responded cruelly. into the house.

With this treasure, the family's fertile land can be added to dozens of acres, which is more than enough to marry a housewife. It's worth it!

He didn't see it, but according to outsiders, it was really eye-opening.

The man did not bleed. He disemboweled the live cow and pulled out its intestines. After a while of searching, he took out a black piece that looked like stone but not stone, and looked like jade but not jade. He left the cow and left it there, with blood flowing all over the floor. , with his eyes wide open until he died.

But that night, in the entire village, the cattle and sheep were restless, the mules and horses were restless, and the windows made a rattling sound.

A long-term worker saw a dozen men in rags coming into the yard, holding bowls in their hands. They got into the farmer's granary and scooped out food one bowl at a time.

Another person got into the cattle and sheep pen and led the animals out.

The rich man hurriedly sounded the gong and called his neighbors and his family's long-term workers to catch the thief. However, when he entered the granary, he found that there was no one inside and the food was still there. There were also many cattle and sheep in the pen.

He fell asleep uneasily, but had a vague dream. He dreamed that the old cow looked at him silently, shook his head slowly, and turned around to leave.

I woke up in panic and was about to dig out the cow bones, but suddenly I saw that the sky was darkening suddenly, and the fields were misty and ghostly. The livestock suddenly became plagued with plague. Half of them died in half a day, and they died in the second half of the day. At night, the neighbors' livestock could no longer be kept alive and began to die.

Immediately, the crops in the fields began to wither in large tracts, and countless rats swarmed out of the barn. The granary was full of holes, and baskets of those that had not been taken out rotted basket by basket.

The world is groggy, the villagers are crying and howling, and white paper money is flying everywhere.
