Twilight Boundary

"Senior, it's really time for me to retrieve the Hu family's token..."

Do you remember that when I first learned the art of keeping the year old, shopkeeper Wu Hong said to me that keeping the year old is the most indifferent way of doing things?

But God has destined that I can only take the path of ghosts that is the most karmic...

But the strangest thing is that when the pressure on my head reaches the extreme, I think about fighting for the world because of my identity as a reincarnated person, and about blocking the Meng family because of my identity as a descendant of the Hu family. Became a rebel leader...

...It’s so relaxing!

It's probably like the sweet potato that has been burdened with so many debts and sins. Just let it go and you won't have to worry about the debt, right?

What else are you thinking about? With a wry smile on his lips, he withdrew his gaze and bowed slightly to the tiger in front of him, just as a gesture. He bowed too deeply, fearing that the senior tiger would hide aside again.

Then, he simply stood up and walked straight to the square millstone. His mood became so peaceful for the first time since his reincarnation, as if the wind in the village had stopped.

For some reason, when he walked to the box, he couldn't help but look at a stone tablet still standing on the east side of the village. Now that the magic power on the tablet was gone, the traces left by his mother-in-law here had disappeared. .

But Hu Ma still saw her, as if she was standing under the stone monument, looking at him silently with her eyes that were not very good at expressing emotions.

Hu Ma turned to her mother-in-law, nodded silently, then turned around and came directly to the millstone.

In his body, something deep in his bloodline seemed to be awakening. His identity as a reincarnated person and the cautiousness of the little shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang disappeared at this moment. He only had one identity left, that is, a descendant of the Hu family. Taking over his own burden.

So, he straightened his robes, looked solemn, stepped forward, and slowly bowed to the iron box.

At this moment, even the wind in the village seemed to have completely disappeared. All the ghosts in the village raised their heads and stared at Hu Ma's figure bowing to the box.

Only Hu Ma's voice sounded: "Children and grandchildren of the Hu family, come to ask for troops!"

"Wow..."

The moment he said these words, the iron chain wrapped around the box instantly turned into pieces of rotten straw rope.

Inside the box, there was lying the dark copper mace, which seemed extremely heavy when he looked at it. The animal pattern with a human face and tiger claws on it seemed to come to life. He slowly stretched his body and his eyes fell on it sinisterly. Hu Ma's face.

Hu Ma stood up, faced the gaze of the Dharma pattern on the mace, slowly stretched out his palm, put it into the box, held the handle of the mace, and put all the four pillars of Taoism into the incense burner, and the soul light all over his body was faintly glowing. , and then lift it up hard.

"Um?"

This exertion made me feel a little surprised again.

He once remembered that when he borrowed the token before, it was extremely heavy and he was extremely reluctant to lift it with the three-pillar technique. Therefore, this time, he directly used the four-pillar technique to lift it.

Although there is only one pillar of difference in Taoism, there is still a door between the inside and outside of the mansion. Compared to that time, my strength is more than three times greater?

But holding this thing, it still felt so heavy, as if it was no different from the last time I lifted it. One hand was not enough, so I used two hands to take the mace out of the box.

Then, little by little, it was raised above the head.

Boom!

The moment the copper mace reached the top, the nine-section mace body gradually collided and made a clanging sound, like invisible thunderbolts exploding one after another. The rolling strong wind came unexpectedly and rotated around Hu Ma's body, raising the corners of his robe. The high one lifted up.

Vaguely, Hu Ma seemed to be hallucinating, as if he saw himself in a place similar to the Jinluan Hall, but it had a lot of gloomy and solemn meaning for no reason. He heard an extremely loud voice, and shouted loudly from above. :

"Now I give the Hu family a golden mace to suppress evil spirits, drive away evil spirits, destroy gods and destroy temples. Do you dare to accept it?"

"If you take this trump card, you will be able to maintain the division between Yin and Yang and the order between humans and ghosts. From the Nine Heavens Yin Division to the Eight Scenery Huangquan, all those who violate the rules will be beaten. Do you dare to bear this weight?"

"..."

"..."

The invisible shouts poured into Hu Ma's ears, shaking him so much that his whole body was numb, as if his soul could not bear the pressure. If there was any hesitation or guilty conscience, his bones would be crushed by this mace.

But he gritted his teeth and held on, holding on to this weapon, letting the loud shouts ring like thunder in his ears, and there was only one deep shout:

"dare!"

"..."

As soon as he agreed, a strong wind filled the air. Centered on him, the aura on the mace suddenly spread to all directions of the entire decadent and depressed village. It seemed to form countless overlapping sounds, and the sound started ringing out.

Not only his own answer, but in fact, the previous lords of the Hu family in the past dynasties had given such answers when they received the golden mace to suppress evil spirits. Only by promising to the mace could they become the leader of the Hu family.

The roaring wind blew in all directions, and the countless innocent souls around them felt frightened and trembled instinctively. They did not dare to look at Hu Ma who was holding the mace. In fact, even if they were just standing in the village, their footing was unsteady and almost to the point of being destroyed. blown away by the wind.

"You have sinned deeply. Although you were harmed by that filthy thing, you still cannot escape the guilt."

At the same time, the tiger who was watching the ceremony looked at Hu Ma holding up the mace, with a blurry expression on his face, and he was a little sad, but he still turned to the innocent soul beside him and whispered: "So, you need to worship him. "

"Zhen Zou Hu family will ignore your debt and send you where you should go..."

"Ending chaos, punishing gods and slaying ghosts are exactly how to suppress the Hu family..."

"..."

These ghosts, who have been decayed for a long time, may not understand what the tiger is saying, but they have been frightened by Hu Ma's trump card, and they all kneel down without raising their heads.

And a strange scene appeared. As they knelt down towards Hu Ma, the strong wind that rolled over seemed to let them go immediately. It roared past their heads and swept away the remaining gloomy resentment in the village. Sweep away.

Some of the remnants carried by these resentful souls were all blown away by the strong wind. Even their ghost bodies seemed to be much lighter. The tiger smiled with a smile on his face and gently lifted his right sleeve. After unfolding it, endless ghosts all entered its sleeves.

Then, he slowly raised his sleeves and touched his eyes. Although his face was still blurry, he could see that there was a look of sincere joy on his face:

"There are people in the Hu family in Zhensui..."

"..."

"..."

Hula la...

Not far from Shixiazi Village, in Dayangzhai, next to the old fire pond, a dark wind suddenly blew up. It actually blew up the ashes of the old fire pond that usually would not fly. .

In the ashes of the pond, there is also a vague wind rising. It is noon now and the sun is shining high. However, this gloomy air does not seem to be afraid of the sun at all. It just follows the wind lightly. It is faint over the old fire pond. Swinging, circling gently.

As if it was dazzling, a hunched figure of an old woman seemed to appear inside. She floated over Dayangzhai, looked in the direction of Juehu Village, and nodded slightly.

There was a smile of relief on his face, and there seemed to be some expectation. After hesitating for a long time, he finally followed the wind and drifted straight to the north.

And in the far north, far away, in front of a huge ancient and desolate mausoleum, ten ancient ancestral halls stood quietly there. In front of each ancestral hall, there was a brazier with a flame inside that never went out. The faint swing illuminates the world.

There are ten pots arranged in a circle, one of which has been extinguished for twenty years.

But at this moment, there was a faint light of fire in the brazier, like young seedlings, which came out bit by bit, and then, as if the energy accumulated for twenty years, rose instantly.

In an instant, it shot straight into the sky, suppressing the other nine braziers into darkness. Together, they could not block the light of this pot of flames.

"What?"

The person guarding the mausoleum woke up with a start, staring at the rising flame. It took him a while to suddenly react, and hurriedly rushed to the ancestral hall behind the brazier, opened the lock on the thick black door, and rushed Got in.

"Kakakaka..."

There was a slight shaking sound, and he looked intently. It was the bottom of the rows of tablets. The texture and color of that tablet seemed to be different from the other tablets. There were even some brand-new tablets. Trembling slightly.

The person guarding the mausoleum was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He suddenly shouted: "Quick, guard your body and return to your soul. It's time for Grandma Bai to be promoted..."

"No……"

Before he could hold the tablet with trembling hands, a heavy voice sounded outside, and a tall figure was seen standing outside the ancestral hall, slowly bowing his head and bowing down.

After bowing three times, he said in a deep voice: "It's not Grandma Bai's, it's Grandma Hu's."

"I am an orphan and a widow, a woman of a Taoist family. I have not received the true inheritance of the Hu family, but on my old shoulders, I have shouldered the responsibility of the inheritance of Zhen Sui. Now my merits are complete..."

"...In this ancestral hall, who else is more qualified than her to be called the Hu family?"

"..."

"..."

At the same moment, in the Meng family's ancestral house, the eldest lady, who was having her legs beaten by a maid while she was sleeping, was suddenly awakened. She kept saying "ouch" and hurriedly ran to the ancestral hall, complaining incessantly: "What's going on? …”

"In the past, there was no movement for a year or two. Why are they happening one after another now and still not letting people stop?"

"..."

In other places, old farmers working in the fields, Caiyi walking in rivers and lakes, doctors collecting herbs in the mountains, rich men sitting quietly in dark rooms, government officials living alone in government offices, quietly lighting fires, all also raised their heads with astonished expressions. Among them, there was a surprise:

"Is this family really not dead?"

"Now that the Hu family has appeared, other families no longer have to hide. It's time to go out and prepare for the appointment at Shiting..."
