Twilight Boundary

"Is this okay?"

Under the watchful eyes of all the meat cutters, Zhou Datong picked up the bright red lantern, used his ghost climbing skills, and easily climbed up to the gate. The lantern was exposed to the wind and sun, and the color almost faded. The tattered lantern was replaced.

All of a sudden, the red light spread out, adding a bit of mystery to the old mine deep in the mountains.

Everyone in the mine didn't know the meaning of this move. They just stared blankly and didn't dare to disturb what they were doing.

Zhou Liang vaguely felt that he understood, but was not sure, so he looked at the old abacus curiously. The old man also had a look of admiration on his face and explained in a low voice: "You senior brothers are so smart!"

"Think about it, what is the most important thing in this world?"

"It's nothing more than rules!"

"Why do people who come to this mine have to be careful about those witches?"

"Nothing else, it's just because they have a lot of rules. We Xia people like to do as the Romans do when we go to the countryside, so we're afraid of breaking their rules."

"But we are afraid of offending other people's taboos. We should be worried about violating our taboos when we are doing rituals. Hanging up the lanterns of the Red Lantern Empress means that this is the territory of the Red Lantern Empress. What are you doing here? We have to take into consideration the face of our Red Lantern Lady.\

,""Normally, if we violate their taboos, they will poison us, but if they violate our taboos, we will also have to use the knife."

"The worms of the shaman are powerful, but are the knives of us watchers weak?"

"..."

The people nearby also heard it. Seeing that Old Abacus was so confident, the craftsmen in the mine couldn't help but nodded. Only the two apprentices of Nazhuang, the leader of the mine, muttered a little suspiciously: "The Red Lantern Queen's face is so good." big?"

"Whether the Red Lantern Queen is too proud or not depends on the abilities of our subordinates."

Hu Ma heard their murmurings, smiled at them, and said, "Now that the rules are here, it depends on whether the person outside will give us face."

"It's okay if he gives me face, but if he doesn't give me face, he is going against the entire Red Lantern Society, and our Red Lantern Lady who has already built a temple. Not to mention him as a Gu refining person, even if they are What can a whole group of shamans do?"

"When the Red Lantern Lady is invited, or the entire Red Lantern Society comes over, the village will be leveled by him!"

"..."

Of course, although he spoke with great confidence when facing these people in the valley, in private, he quietly discussed it with Lao Abacus: "What do you think he will do when he sees this lantern?"

Old Abacus smiled and said: "If you are a sensible person, if you see our fight, not only will you leave immediately, but you will at least know that you have to show up and have a chat."

"This is the rule of the world. What are the rules of the world? It means learning to step down..."

"But if he doesn't show up, he still hides in the dark and harms people, or even intensifies it, then it's impossible to say. At least we know that this person can't be talked about, so we can just prepare the most ruthless counterattack."

"..."

"Then you have to be able to fight."

Hu Ma lowered his voice and said, "Judging from the appearance of Nazhuang Mine Leader, I'm afraid this person is not simple."

"Shou Sui's body bones are the strongest, especially if he is a Shou Sui who has practiced the five internal organs, he will be injured to this extent."

"..."

"He is certainly very capable, but we may not necessarily suffer."

But Old Abacus sneered and said: "When dealing with this shaman, one must have a certain eye. You must first see which sect and village he is from."

"Witch and Gu sects include the witch sect and the gu sect, as well as the differences between the Chong'er sect, the animal sect and the pole sect. In the early days of Mingzhou Prefecture, we had the Tan'er sect and the saying that the blind Hua Zi of the Chong'er sect could summon spirits. It’s about the three evils.”

"That Tan'er taught you that you shouldn't have children, but I don't know that this Chong'er sect actually spread from this branch of witches. It was really famous in Mingzhou at first, but why did it disappear later? Didn't we fight back and forth but never win the battle?"

"There is no need to panic now. As long as we can see his origin and style, it will save a lot of effort to deal with him. If we take a step back, even if we really can't fight them..."

"...You can also go out and bring in reinforcements!"

"..."

'This old guy is really a veteran, and he has a sharp eye...'

When Hu Ma heard this, she knew that the old abacus had also figured out the key, and said with a smile: "The road is closed, how can you move?"

"My brother is testing me..."

Old Abacus also suddenly laughed and said: "He can use the Gu array to seal the road into the valley, and he can also surround the valley? How can there be so many bugs..."

"Old man, although I am not keeping the New Year's Eve, in the Red Lantern Club, I see people keeping the New Year's Eve the most, and I know your methods very well."

"He has sealed the road into the valley, so ordinary people can't get in or out, but the watchers don't care about that. Behind them is the hillside. With your ability to climb up the eaves and climb the walls as if you were walking on the flat ground, you can climb up the cliff no matter how high it is. It's not easy to call for reinforcements. ?”

"Of course, if we leave like this, if there is anything good in this vein, it won't be our turn..."

"..."

"really."

What Lao Baanpan said is exactly what Hu Ma is thinking about now.

In fact, as soon as he came here, he also saw the dilemma of this blood-food mine. The reason why they were blocked by the person who used the poison was because there was only one way in and out. Once it was blocked, the people inside would be blocked. Blood and food cannot be transported out.

For Shou Sui, it is easy to escape, but leaving means abandoning the ordinary craftsmen in the mine and the veins of minerals that can be dug out...

After all, it is still a greedy word!

As for myself...

It stands to reason that if you get these jars of blood food, you have actually made money, but you are not busy poking it up, and you will study how to make more money.

What if there really is something good hidden in that vein?

Indeed, I am also greedy...

So what can we do? Others can be greedy, but we can’t be greedy?

...Of course, don’t be too stubborn. Hang up the red lantern first. Afterwards, when you can’t hold it anymore, you can naturally ask the Red Lantern Lady to come over and clean the floor!

The plan has been decided, so let the people in the mine go and rest separately. Don't be so suspicious. If you have anything to do, wait until dawn tomorrow to talk about it.

Then, once again rejecting Lao Abacus's request to take a batch of blood food back to test the quality, Hu Ma moved the six jars into the wooden house that the mine leader had given to him, and asked Zhou Datong and Zhao Zhu to Everyone is sleeping here.

"This is really happening..."

And after silently counting, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel excited. The six jars that fell into his hands were all blood Tai Sui, and the quality was from low to high. The last two jars were already filled with gold silk Tai Sui.

It's a pity that if they were all of the same quality as the last jar of golden silk, the blood food that I entered into the house would be enough at once, and now I can only barely do it.

But this can't help but make Hu Ma excited. If the mine really gets better the more you dig it, what treasures will there be in it?

No matter how bad it is, even if there is no treasure, as long as it is of the quality of the Golden Silk Tai Sui, it will be enough for what I need to enter the palace...

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Hu Ma felt relieved after counting the jars three times, and went to bed to rest and regain her energy before talking.

If you want to figure out what's inside the mineral vein, you must first solve the trouble outside.

Others probably thought that Hu Ma just wanted to have a good sleep, recuperate, and find a way to deal with the mysterious shaman outside the next day.

However, Hu Ma himself had another plan: He came to Huoziling, an unfamiliar place, and there were unknown and mysterious people in trouble. Do he really want to listen to the words of the owner of the village and the mine and take the lead?

If an ordinary person is put in this position, they probably have no other choice but to stand up to him, or refuse to eat the meat they are talking about, without taking any responsibility.

But I am a reincarnated person after all...

After falling asleep, Hu Ma came to the natal temple. He looked up and saw his natal statue, emitting strands of golden light, outlining the outline of the statue.

The limbs and internal organs are all emerging in the darkness, and in the head position, the dense golden traces are now almost half lit up. Once enough blood food is eaten, the body will be completely refining.

"Hope is right in front of me. If I can just eat these jars of blood food, I might be able to enter the palace."

Hu Madu sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that you can't become fat after one bite, and the refining speed is limited."

While sighing, he put this thought aside. He slowly came to the incense table, stretched out his palm and pressed it on the incense burner. Then he evened out his breathing, changed his voice, and called out in a low voice. : "Lao Baigan is calling from Huoziling."

"The codename Lao Baigan is calling at Huoziling, can anyone reincarnated hear it?"

"..."

Every time he called out, he waited for a moment, observing the smoke coming out of the incense burner, but he saw that there was always scattered movement with no connection to anything.

He was not in a hurry. He called several times and then stopped temporarily.

He silently took the blood food and practiced the power. After waiting for an hour, he came in again and called several times. Moreover, in order to make his call reach a wider range, he had already inserted three pillars of life incense into the incense burner. I don’t feel bad about the loss of this life fragrance.

Whenever you go to a strange place, call first. This is a good habit that every reincarnation should develop.

But Hu Ma actually had no confidence in his heart. This was the first time he called without being sure whether anyone would hear him. Moreover, this was a deep mountain and wild ridge, similar to Erguotou in Laoyin Mountain. He could be called The probability of people hearing it is not very high.

But how do you know if you don’t try? Maybe someone is nearby?

With this hope, Hu Ma called three times in a row. It was almost dawn, but no one responded, which was helpless.

Just as he was about to quit and give up all hope of this life, suddenly, a voice with a hint of regret rang out: "Code name Houerjiu responds to the call..."

"...Really, I hid so far away, but I didn't expect that you would still find me!"
