Twilight Boundary

"Chief Wugong?"

Listening to the joyful shouts of the meat cutters in the valley, Hu Ma couldn't help but be startled. Just when he was thinking about the shaman clan leader who gave the order to seal the valley, he actually came over?

Looking closely, what was floating outside the valley was not mist, but someone walking, throwing handfuls of strange white powder. As they moved forward, it was like walking with morning mist.

The three figures walking in the mist therefore looked quite mysterious and secluded.

As the powder spread, the lush forests on both sides of the path leading to the valley began to make splashing sounds from time to time. Countless insects scrambled for the first place and fled towards both sides of the road like a tide.

The three people walked to the edge of the valley, stopped, and took off the bamboo flute from their lips. At this time, someone had already informed the leader of the mine. He was wearing a robe and was busy He rushed from the hall and brought the people around him to greet him.

In this valley, the meat cutters who were just patrolling and preparing to make rice also hurriedly dropped their work and followed behind.

Hu Ma just stood there and watched. He saw three people coming into the valley, wearing black clothes and silver jewelry. They all carried bamboo baskets on their backs and had some bamboo cans on their waists. Can.

The leader was older, looking to be in his fifties, with a black cloth wrapped around his head. Following him on the left was a pale, tall young man, and on the right was a bright and beautiful girl with a pair of His big eyes were looking at the people in the valley curiously.

"Um?"

Seeing the girl, Hu Ma and Zhou Datong and others who had just heard the action and ran out, their eyes also lit up.

Although he has changed his clothes now, he still wears the familiar silver jewelry, carries the bamboo basket on his back, and has a naive and girlish smile on his face. It was the girl they met in the woods before. The one who is sitting.

She followed to the mine, but did not accompany the clan leader and talk to the village leader who came out. Instead, she walked aside and squatted on the ground to play.

Seeing her coming, the meat cutters in the mine all changed their faces and dispersed in a hurry. They seemed to welcome the arrival of the clan leader, but they were also extremely afraid of the arrival of this girl, and some even hid. I didn't dare to show my head when I returned to the house.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Datong curiously grabbed an old man with a dark face, a flat nose, and two missing teeth, and said, "Why are you running away?"

"Didn't you see the shaman's woman coming?"

The old man stared: "The girl from the witch family is not easy to mess with. If she falls in love with you, she will bewitch you. If she is bewitched, you will have to guard her for the rest of your life..."

"Hey, you don't follow the rules. The witches knew this taboo before and never let witch girls come to the mine..."

"this……"

Zhou Datong was stunned for a moment and looked the old man up and down: "Are you married?"

"of course not."

The old man with gaping teeth said: "How can we dare to come to the mine to eat like this after we are married?"

"That's okay."

Zhou Datong let go of him, patted the folds on his clothes, and said, "Go and hide, be tight!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the girl, puffed up his strong chest, and tried his best to put on a friendly and gentle smile on his face.

Nvwazi glanced at him, then moved her gaze to the horse next to the entrance of the village. She squatted down with a look of surprise in her eyes.

Datong suddenly felt a little hurt.

"Brother, I finally got you here..."

The head of the village and mine here also hurriedly greeted the shaman clan leader who entered the valley. His face was full of excitement, and he bowed deeply: "We old and young men in the mine, I'm all waiting for you to come to my rescue..."

After hearing his words, the shaman clan leader also sighed deeply and said: "After receiving the letter you handed me, I'm going to set off. It's just that there are many things that need to be prepared, so it has been delayed for so many days."

"There hasn't been any big trouble these days, right?"

"..."

"That's not true..."

The head of the mine in Nazhuang said hurriedly: "It's just that this has no beginning and no end, but it's really puzzling."

"Brother Wu knows that we are cutting Tai Sui here to make a living. We have always been kind to others, but we have offended people for some unknown reason, and actually blocked my mine and killed a few of my men?"

"No need to tell."

The head of the Wu clan waved his hand, sighed, and said: "I also know that this matter is a big deal."

"Actually, if it were someone else, I would have come over to help you negotiate an agreement a long time ago, and there is no need to prepare for so long. But this time I took action to seal you blood-eating mines, actually..."

"..."

At this point, he paused for a moment before whispering: "Actually, it's my son Wu Song!"

"ah?"

When Leng Buding heard what he said, both Zhuang Mining Chief and Hu Ma were shocked. The Zhuang Mine Chief turned his head and glanced at the girl squatting in front of the horse, stretching out her little hand to touch it. Surprised: "Wu Ya has a brother?"

"Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

"..."

Hu Ma was also surprised.

He had chatted with Houerjiu, and he knew that this clan leader was actually the mastermind behind the scenes. He was already a little curious about his sudden appearance, but he didn't know if it was not too early or too late, but he happened to be hanging up the red lantern. The next day came, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

But I didn't expect that he would actually tell this matter frankly?

The leader of the Wu clan had a sad look on his face after hearing the inquiry from the leader of the mine, Zhuang. He slowly shook his head and said, "I no longer recognize him as my son, and our clansmen never mention him..."

"Of course. Is the person who went to deliver the letter for me last time still alive?"

"..."

The head of the village and mine immediately shook his head and said: "He died just after he came back, and his body was full of worms..."

"He is wearing the amulet I gave him..."

When the leader of the Wu clan heard this, he gave a bitter smile and said: "With the amulet I gave, everyone died. It can be seen that Wu Song does not recognize me as his father. This is why I need to prepare for a few more days before I can come." The reason for your mining..."

The leader of the village and mine became more and more surprised as he listened. He hurriedly invited him to sit down in the hall, and asked him to boil tea and ask him carefully.

But at this time, Hu Ma walked in without any airs and bowed politely to the shaman clan leader.

When the leader of the village mine saw Hu Ma arriving, he also hurriedly introduced him and Chief Wu. He almost forgot just now. Now that Hu Ma has collected the account books, talking about it, now the person who can speak in this mine is he.

He is actually his subordinate.

"Manage things politely, be polite..."

As the leader of the shamans, Chief Wu had a lot of dealings with outsiders. He spoke better Mandarin than the girl, and he also knew some etiquette. He returned the greeting to Hu Ma politely.

Then he sighed lowly, and still turned to the owner of the mine, and said, "You don't know, my son is a lunatic..."

Now the sudden words made several people present startled for a moment and looked at each other.

The leader of the Wu clan was silent for a moment, then showed a troubled expression and said slowly: "We shamans are also very particular about refining Gu. There are three prohibitions and ten no-refinement rules. For generations, no one dares to violate them. He is the only one. Almost all taboos were violated.”

"I asked him to learn to do business, but he was not interested. I asked him to go outside the forest and learn to study like the Han people, but he was not interested either. He just focused on studying how to refine Gu."

"Mother-child Gu, Yin-Yang Gu, Sinking Corpse Gu..."

"Not only did he not follow the rules or listen to advice when he was refining Gu, he also only practiced cruelty and cruelty. Once, he even..."

Having said this, he also turned his head, glanced at the young girl Wu Ya next to the entrance of the village, and whispered: "He even had the idea of ​​​​making his sister a silver thread Gu on her..."

"and you……"

When Leng Buding heard what the leader of the Wu clan said, Zhuang Kuangdu was a little frightened, and hurriedly said: "You have always been strict and restrained the clan members not to harm others, then you..."

"...Why don't you ignore him?"

"..."

"Tube?"

After hearing this, Chief Wu showed a wry smile and whispered: "I can't fight him..."

"When he was only a teenager, Dou Gu had already surpassed all our clan members, including me naturally..."

"Later, I saw that what he did became more and more excessive, so I could only work with other tribesmen to ask the witch god to issue an edict, and then drove him out of the village. From then on, he was alone in the village dozens of miles away. I live in the Black Bone Forest and don’t interact with the people in the village.”

"This time, as soon as I heard what you said and the methods, I knew it must be related to him, but I...I don't know why he came to block the door at your place."

"On the way here, I also tried to shout to him, but he never responded to me..."

"..."

"Then this..."

Upon hearing what Chief Wu said, the leader of the village and mine was obviously a little anxious. Just after he said two words, he suddenly trembled, covered his mouth, coughed twice, and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.

The apprentice next to him hurriedly wanted to come up to help him, but before he could touch him, he was taken aback and took two steps back.

Only then did he realize that there were actually two worms crawling in the dirty blood in his hand. They came out along the edge of his palm and fell to the ground, twisting.

This scene was so hair-raising that even the leader of the mine, Zhuang himself, was a little stunned. His chest was rising and falling like a bellows. But the leader of the Wu clan next to him was also shocked and hurriedly came forward. He chanted a mantra in his mouth, raised two fingers, and slowly pointed towards the insects on the ground.

As his fingertips came closer, the two bugs in the dirty blood struggled more and more, and gradually withered, as if they had been exposed to the sun for several days and became completely motionless.

Only then did Chief Wu support the leader of the mine, held his pulse, and said seriously: "Don't panic, don't panic, we shamans abide by the rules, our friends are good to us, and we are also good to our friends. What's wrong with you?" , we will take care of it..."

"Cure the poison in you first and then talk!"

"..."

With that said, he rushed outside and shouted loudly: "Wuya, don't play around, come quickly."
