Twilight Boundary

Zhensuifu does not kill living people. This is a rule, and many people know it.

Hu Ma is not sure whether this is one of the reasons why the Yan family dared to provoke Zhensuifu, but he understands that there are three exceptions to the rule of Zhensuifu not to kill living people: First, people who walk through the ghost doorway, respect Zhensuifu, and can be killed if they break the rules. Second, those who break the order of yin and yang and violate the ban can also be arrested by Zhensuifu, and their heads will be chopped off in the name of criminals.

Third, if there are ghosts and gods complaining, after the investigation, they need to pay the ghosts and gods justice with human heads.

Earlier, the Yan family found so many people from the underworld and piled them up everywhere, causing trouble. Hu Ma was naturally angry.

But to be honest, this practice is just a rule of the underworld. For Zhensuifu, it is not a violation of the ban.

But if the Yan family is really bold enough to allow such a wild god to build a temple and receive incense privately, then not only will they ask about it, but even if the Meng family knows about it, they will not let him off easily.

Earlier, Hu Ma was actually still thinking that the Tiemen Yan family was so arrogant, could it be instigated by the Meng family behind the scenes? Now it seems that this is not the case. It is really that the Tiemen Yan family is simply a little too inflated.

He just thought that he just built a temple for the little snake god casually, but he didn't know that he had violated the taboo of two of the ten surnames.

Seeing Hu Ma's serious words, the old abacus next to him was a little uneasy for a while.

At first, he only thought that under the care of the Yan family, he would kill the wild ghost, and then he would establish his prestige.

But now, if he wants to kill the Yan family directly...

... Terrible!

He can't imagine what kind of big commotion this will cause.

But if it was a small matter, he would have spoken up to persuade them, but this involved matters related to the duties of each family, so he could not speak up to persuade them.

He hesitated for a while, and could only look outside the yard helplessly: "Why doesn't this family serve the guests?"

Just as he was thinking, he saw a group of servants outside, carrying bowls of food in.

The family had only temporarily gathered some food and wine, and the ordinary reception was not considered neglectful, but just as they were preparing, they saw Wu Ya and Zhou Datong come out and said to them: "Is there a snake market here? Or the ones prepared in the big restaurant will do."

"Go buy a few, the more poisonous the better, but remember not to spread the word, otherwise it won't work if the news gets out."

"..."

The master had been guarding outside, and he was embarrassed when he heard it: "In our city, some people worship the earth god, so they dare not eat snakes, and no one dares to sell them."

Wu Ya heard it and said: "Then there is no need to buy it. I will call it in the evening. You tell people to go to bed early at night, sprinkle realgar and lime on the door and windowsill, and don't come out when you hear any noise."

"Also, prepare a large jar, wormwood, and clean cloth before going to bed, and mark out a wider area of ​​the ground."

"Tonight, I will treat your young master!"

"..."

When the master in the mansion heard it, he was shocked and widened his eyes, and then he realized that the guest didn't want to eat snake soup.

He hurriedly ordered people to prepare, and quickly told the kitchen: "Don't send such things to send people away, bring up all the good wine and food."

"Go to the counter and ask someone to get four hundred taels of silver. After the disease is cured, quickly offer it..."

"..."

"Ah?"

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard it: "Master, you want to give so much?"

The master said: "Are you stupid? If you don't offer the silver before the capable person asks, do you really want me to give half of my property?"

The group hurriedly prepared and gave orders, with a string in their hearts.

I don't know if this pretty witch girl really has the ability to cure the young master. But considering the time, he only has two or three days to live. Even if there is no guarantee, he has to bite the bullet and treat him. Fortunately, when the young master was carried to the backyard and the quilt was about to be taken off, he burst into tears, causing the people around him to feel distressed and helpless.

Wu Ya saw it and just said, "Fill the jar with water. Use pond water or river water, not well water."

"Then put him in, and he will stop crying."

"..."

The servants went to the river outside to fetch water, filled up half of the jar, and put the crying young master in. As expected, he stopped crying.

He even squatted in the jar, letting the water in the jar cover his head and blowing bubbles in it.

Seeing that Wu Ya was so accurate, the people in the mansion also gained confidence. Not only did they treat him with good wine and food that night, but they also followed the instructions for other things one by one, not daring to be careless. Except for the master of the mansion, the others went to bed early.

After three rounds of drinking, it was already late at night. Wu Ya had to save people at night, so she only ate a few mouthfuls of food, then squatted outside the living room, lit a small incense burner, took out something from her purse, put it in the incense burner, and then gently fanned the air. Soon, even the people in the hall smelled a sweet and sticky smell coming from the incense burner.

Not long after, there was a burst of fishy smell coming from outside the house, and there were hissing sounds everywhere.

When the time was almost up, Wu Ya held the oil lamp and looked outside. She was shocked to see that the whole courtyard was crawling with snakes and insects, some red, some green, all spitting out condolences, and moving towards the incense burner, shaking their heads and tails.

She spotted one, took out a bone whistle, and blew it.

The red poisonous snake followed her footsteps and crawled towards the house. Wu Ya put down the whistle and reached out to grab the seven inches of the snake. Unexpectedly, the red snake was extremely ferocious and cold. He turned around and bit Wu Ya on the arm. Hu Ma had been watching from the side, so he stretched out his foot and trampled the snake under his feet. He turned the snake's head over and bit him on the leg.

"fine."

When he saw everyone around him looking over worriedly, he waved his hand, grabbed the snake and handed it to Wu Ya.

I am a person who watches the New Year's Eve, so what are you afraid of?

On the other hand, Zhou Datong next to him said: "Brother Mazi, don't be so careless. The place where the snake bit you just now is two inches higher..."

"?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but glare.

What kind of ability does he have now? He is a Shousui who has entered the mansion. He is not afraid of this thing...

...But one thing to say, it still hurts a bit if it is really bitten.

Wu Ya caught a few venomous snakes and drove the others away. Then, in front of everyone, he nailed the snake's head and peeled off the skin. Then he asked Zhou Datong to help hide the snake in the water tank and blow bubbles. The young master picked it up and wrapped the fresh snake skin around his body. Then he wrapped it in cloth strips and tied his hands and feet together. Then he lit mugwort and smoked it back and forth on his body.

After a while, the young master's body trembled non-stop at first, as if he was struggling hard, and then his movements slowed down. At the end, his stomach suddenly growled a few times, and he suddenly opened his mouth wide, with a puff of purple gas in his mouth. I spit it out quickly...

"oops!"

When Wu Ya saw this purple energy, she was startled. She covered her mouth and nose and took two steps back.

Hu Ma also stood up suddenly, stood in front of her, and looked intently, her expression suddenly became extremely strange.

I saw this extremely weird purple energy, meandering in the air, slowly getting into the night, dissipating very slowly like a spiritual snake.

The most important thing is that as this purple air flow turned into the night sky, they actually felt that the ground under their feet was shaking slightly, and they seemed to hear heavy breathing in their ears, something strange and mysterious. The weird laughter of things.

It was as if there was something strange deep in the capital city of Guazhou, and it was instantly awakened by the purple energy, making people salivate.

Lao Abacus and Zhou Datong were also frightened by the movement, and their bodies became a little stiff, unable to move.

But fortunately, this movement seemed to be just an instinct. Until the purple energy dissipated, nothing really came out.

"Abba... Abba..."

It wasn't until the little young master who was wrapped like a rice dumpling called out in a weak voice that everyone realized from the mysterious and depressing hallucination just now. Mr. Liang, who was about to put his head under the table, also hurriedly ran away. He came over and looked at the young master who was calling him, helpless. Wu Ya helped him untie the cloth strips and two pieces of snake skin from the young master's face.

Everyone stretched their heads to take a look, and saw that the young master had woken up, but he looked extremely weak.

The abscesses and pimples on his face were still there, but they were significantly smaller. They seemed to be healing and no longer scary.

"oops……"

The old man wanted to go up and hug his son again, but he was also anxious to turn around and kowtow. He was so anxious that he couldn't help it.

"The young master's illness has been cured, and he will just take care of himself from now on."

Hu Ma asked Wu Ya with his eyes, then took out a small piece of meat strip from his sleeve and said: "You can stew this into soup and feed it to him. I know you are impatient, so you don't have to stay here with us all the time. Take him to the room quickly and take good care of him!"

The master didn't know what the meat strips were, but he just went there with great thanks.

It was only after he left that Hu Ma looked at Wu Ya and just noticed what she seemed to want to say.

"Brother the shopkeeper, he, this Gu on him is being raised by others..."

Wu Ya glanced at the night sky outside and seemed a little unsure. He was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly.

"I see it."

Old Abacus, on the other hand, suddenly took over the conversation, turned to Hu Ma and said, "Did you see the last breath he exhaled? It's called 'disaster', and it's often the last breath a person takes before death, and it's also the last breath a person takes. Living is the most important breath, but the little boy's breath was forced out, and because of the toad, the breath changed..."

"So, I saw it correctly?"

Hu Ma nodded slowly, with a gloomy expression, and whispered: "Does the breath he exhaled look like... the immortal energy we talked about before?"

"And in this city, I'm afraid there are people who feed on this immortal energy..."
