Twilight Boundary

"After paying the life-buying money, you have seven days to take the life."

"If you can't take it, you'll lose face."

"If it's an ordinary person, it's okay. If you lose face, the worst that can happen is to quit the underworld and come back in a few years with a new name, but you can't!"

"You paid the life-buying money as a ghostwriter. If you can't buy the life, you will lose the face of your Hu family and the face of Zhensui Mansion. How serious is this?"

"But now that the time has come, you actually do nothing but sharpen the knife?"

The old abacus couldn't stand it anymore. When he came to Guazhou City, five and a half days had passed since the life-buying money was paid. In the last day and a half, there were so many things to do, but Hu Ma seemed to be free.

He walked around the garden and sharpened his knife, and did nothing else. He was so anxious that he was wandering around. Even Wu Ya couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Teacher, what are you mumbling about here? Go and tell the shopkeeper!"

"No!"

The old abacus said angrily, "This kid is sweet-mouthed when he needs your help, but he keeps his mind to himself after he has an idea in his mind, which only makes you anxious. Last time in Shima Town, he had already figured it out, but he just coaxed me, an old man, to worry about him."

Wu Ya felt even more strange and said, "Since the shopkeeper has an idea in his mind, then we should just follow it!"

"That won't work either..."

The old abacus sighed and said, "It's because our ancestor is not good enough. He can't eat the three big animals in his life and says something vague. He doesn't let us go, but he doesn't explain it clearly to us..."

Suddenly, he thought of something and said to Wu Ya. Ya said: "My dear disciple, I can't bring myself to ask, why don't you go to that guy and ask?"

Wu Ya felt strange: "Master, didn't you say that I have a light fate and don't let me ask?"

Lao Suanpan's face froze, and he said hurriedly: "In fact, I have figured it out these few days. You can't escape anyway. Think about it, those who can worship the ancestor in our sect have a light fate. Why? Only with a light fate can you avoid trouble and avoid disaster!"

"But look at me? I was born with a penny and two taels of cheap bones, but how can I avoid anything?"

"..."

Wu Ya respected and appreciated Hu Ma as a benefactor, and did not doubt him, but when she saw Lao Suanpan said so, she also picked up the tea and came to the garden of the mansion. She found Hu Ma and saw him ordering the housekeeper to open the back door.

Because the pimples on the young master's body are fading, but they haven't recovered completely, so the people in the mansion still respect these capable people. No one dares to disobey their words. If they are asked to open the door, they will open it. If they are asked to set up the incense table, they will set up the incense table.

Wu Ya looked at it, but felt curious and said, "Boss, what are you doing?"

"Did your teacher ask you to come?"

Seeing Wu Ya coming, Hu Ma took the tea, took a sip, and asked Wu Ya with a smile.

As soon as she saw Hu Ma's smile, Wu Ya felt close to him. Maybe this boss sometimes has a temperament similar to that of Brother Wu Song? Of course, if you talk about it in detail, they are not quite the same. Brother Wu Song has a more mysterious temperament.

She did not hide it from Hu Ma and said with a smile: "The teacher is worried in the front yard. You said that if you don't do your job, you are just fooling him."

"He can worry about me, which shows that Brother Suanpan really cares about our family. I promised him 200 kilograms of blood food, and he has not lost it."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "But you can let him rest assured that we are not really not doing our job. Wu Ya, do you know that although I am a person who stays up all year round, I am a person who walks the ghost door?"

"We walk the ghost door, so we are close to ghosts and gods. No matter what shady tricks they have in this city, we can hide them from people, but not from ghosts and gods. If we investigate, it will be very troublesome. In this case, we will not investigate, and we will directly ask the ghosts and gods."

"Also, you should tell him a message!"

While speaking, Hu Ma sighed and said: "The owner of the Zhensui Mansion would rather kill his relatives than follow personal feelings, in order to get convenience. It is to win the hearts of the people of the world."

"What do you mean there are no people of our own in this city? In my opinion, this city is full of people of our own."

"Now I will set up an altar in the Zhao Mansion and open this small door to facilitate the entry and exit of ghosts and gods, without damaging the blessings of the Zhao family. Tell you, teacher, I believe that as long as I set up this altar, ghosts and gods will come to complain and talk about things."

"If he asks me where I get the confidence, then tell him..."

While speaking, he slowly lit the candle on the incense table, grabbed a handful of incense ash, and sprinkled it directly in front of the incense table. With a serious look, he said in a low voice: "Because I believe in justice in this world!"

"Puff..."

Wu Ya was shocked by Hu Ma's words, and her eyes were full of worship, but after going back to talk to Lao Suanpan, she shocked Lao Suanpan so much that he spit out the tea in his mouth.

"He...what is he talking about?"

"The method used by the owner of the Zhensui Mansion to kill his relatives has almost become a joke, but now he is bragging about it?"

"..."

"But...but..."

Wu Ya paused and whispered, "Teacher, the shopkeeper really built an altar in the back garden, and then all kinds of little ghosts came in all of a sudden, vying to tell him all kinds of things..."

"What?"

Old Abacus stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief: "Did he find out about the toad disease?"

Wu Ya nodded: "I heard some kid said it."

Old Abacus was even more unbelievable: "Did you also find out what happened behind the Earth Snake Temple?"

Wu Ya said: "Several brats were vying to tell him, and two of them started fighting over the one who reported the news first. They were gouging their eyes and pulling out their hair..."

Lao Baanpan's hands trembled for a moment: "Isn't it possible that he just asked about the affairs of the Yan family?"

Wu Ya nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, the shopkeeper's face was already blue when he heard that. Just now, he had removed the altar, took the knife, closed the small door, and brought Brother Datong with him. He strode out of the gate."

"this……"

Old Abacus's brows were knitted into a knot, and a look of uncertainty surged in his eyes. After a long, long time, he just raised his head blankly: "No way?"

"Walk!"

Suddenly I didn't know what to think of, I jumped up as if on fire, and whispered: "I seem to understand the reason why the ancestor must stay with him, go and have a look!"

…

…

At the same time, the Iron Gate Yan family in Guazhou Prefecture had just set up a banquet. It was said that it was catching up with the birthday of the third concubine of the Yan family. Although it was not the main hall, there was no need for it. It was celebrated with great fanfare, but also with festivities.

Outsiders don't know, but people in the family know that this third concubine of the Yan family is a little medical fairy in the Siming family, so her reputation is nothing, but she is important in the family. Not light.

Of course, because she was a concubine by name after all, I only invited some good friends to come over and have a little gathering.

Now in the Yan family's house, lamps are lit on all sides and wine is cooked. There are seven or eight tables of banquets in the courtyard, and people are sitting in front and back, including Mr. Liu from the south of the city, Mr. Gongyang from Weizhuang outside the city, Aunt Li from Qiaoshou Pavilion and even King Tiejian sent congratulatory gifts.

"Please, please..."

As soon as night fell, the group began to drink. Mr. Yan of the Yan family took the main seat, and his concubine sat beside him with her charming eyes, serving him while drinking. She used white jade inlaid with silver. He used his chopsticks to pick up vegetables and feed them to him.

Everyone at the banquet was talking loudly and enjoying the wine. From time to time, they came to share some anecdotes about strange people to accompany the wine. The troupe in the middle of the banquet was playing hard, and the Tsing Yi on the stage danced beautifully with two water sleeves.

But the inexplicable thing is that no matter how the atmosphere looks, no matter how lively the people at the table are with smiles on their faces and their voices are deliberately loud, there is always a depressing atmosphere somehow, making the lantern shine even brighter. It looked a bit bleak.

Occasionally, they would look at each other while talking and laughing, but they could clearly see the dull and worried look in each other's eyes.

"Haha, Mr. Chunsheng, why do you have to look so sad?"

But in this dull moment, next to the master of the Yan family, a man wearing a light yellow robe with a good bearing smiled and said: "I know you are still a little worried, but the things in this world cannot be bigger than a reasonable word. "

"Don't say that he is just a little hunter. I heard that the master of the Zhenzong Mansion came in person before he even got on the bridge. Can he really ignore this hero of the world?"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scholar in white on the left side of the Yan family couldn't help but look a little pale. He forced a smile, but couldn't speak.

Finally, someone mentioned this issue, and everyone who had been holding it back all night couldn't hold it in any longer, and said one after another: "That's right, I don't think that wandering ghost really has the courage to come here!"

"Oh, it's also interesting. I followed the ghost sect, but found a Shou Sui to be a catcher. We have a general who protects the law in front of King Tiejian here. Talking about the elders and younger ones in the Shousui sect, maybe the catcher is here. I have to kowtow to the Dharma Protector General first..."

"Mr. Chunsheng, there is really no need to worry. Not everyone can step through the iron threshold of Yan Mansion!"

"..."

A group of people were talking and laughing loudly, which really diluted the invisible depression in the room. Everyone was about to take advantage of the good atmosphere and drink a few drinks, but unexpectedly, someone in the crowd was wearing a silver robe. The man with carved patterns on his boots and a red crown smiled and said:

"Although I heard that the emperor of Zhencong Mansion could not suppress it, and the prince of Guanzhou Mansion who had been personally ennobled by the emperor's order was beaten into clay with a mace, but the iron threshold of the Yan family, he will definitely You can't get in..."

"..."

Another woman, whose whole body was wrapped in a black robe, with only a small head outside, followed and said: "The main reason is that the people in the Hu family are ruthless people, and they kill all their relatives. Killing two passers-by doesn't feel like much pressure..."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little depressing. They looked at each other in shock. The scholar in white who sat next to Mr. Yan was even more shocked and knocked down the wine glass in his hand.
