Twilight Boundary

"Death city in vain?"

Suddenly hearing Hu Ma mention it, Erguotou was startled: "Why are you asking about this ghost place?"

Hu Ma pondered for a moment and said slowly: "For investigation."

"If the news I got before is correct, the creation of the demon mirror by the noble Zhang and Tongyin Meng is related to this place."

"..."

Now that he has not made up his mind whether to present Hepan to Erguotou, Zhao Sanyi from the Zhao family and Chen Abao from the Chen family approached him, saying that they wanted him to deliver a message to remind the Hu family.

But the two of them probably still didn't feel too reassured about their old-timer, and at the most critical point, they just said something vaguely:

If the Hu family brother wants to get help, then he should go to Guli Village, thirty miles outside the city, and meet the two of them...

They probably thought that as long as they said it was a waste of time, the "descendants of the Hu family" would immediately understand.

But I understand, I don’t understand...

He is a person who watches the New Year, and the City of Wasted Death is in the underworld, which can only be seen after entering the underworld. However, in his cultivation, up to now, he has never been to the underworld once.

After all, when a person who keeps the old age goes to the underworld, his soul needs to leave his body, and his ability will be useless.

There are many clever ghost-traveling methods mentioned in the New Year's Book, but none of them can allow people to travel to the underworld in the physical body.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the ancestors of the Hu family. They probably never thought that there would be a Shou Sui in the Hu family.

However, I don’t understand, but Brother Erguotou understands...

The old man comes from a ghostly background, has seen a lot, is very capable, and has even climbed a bridge. What could be more convenient than asking him?

"Is it related to this ghost place?"

When Erguotou heard Hu Ma mention the demon mirror, he suddenly became serious and said in a low voice: "Then the matter will be a bit difficult to handle."

"This City of Wasted Death is not a good place to go. Although it has a good reputation and is known to be in the underworld, according to legend, only the ten surnames and the officials around them can find it. You... what do you mean? Why don’t you ask that noble person from the Hu family?”

"..."

"That's the problem..."

Hu Ma sighed deeply and said, "I've already asked, but he... doesn't know either!"

"What the hell?"

Erguotou was confused: "You don't mean to tell me that the descendant of the Hu family is really a fool?"

"You can't say that..."

Hu Ma was a little embarrassed, but she straightened up, sighed deeply, and whispered: "He is actually very smart, kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and capable..."

"It's a pity that the Hu family has paid too much for Zhenzhen Mansion. In fact, outsiders only think that this family has a single seedling left, but they don't know that even he was once sent by the Meng family. The ghosts in Laoyin Mountain were tortured to the point of almost losing their lives. "

"In other words, he had already lost his life, and it was the old Da Zhu Dao of the previous generation who always resorted to ghost ways to save him, but that Da Zhu Dao, because of this... Alas!"

"He is actually..."

After saying this, he paused slightly, as if he was determined to be cruel, and said in a low voice: "A trip to Laoyin Mountain is very tiring."

"What?"

Erguotou was suddenly surprised: "What does this mean?"

"It was all the Meng family who harmed him before..."

Hu Ma looked worried, sighed, and said: "Others only think that the Hu family is mysterious, but that's because he has to be mysterious..."

"When it comes to ghost walking skills, I think he may not even be as good as you, brother. But now, he has just taken over the Zhenzhen Mansion and supports the ghost walking family, but he doesn't think about anything else and just wants to go to Tong Tong. The Yinmeng family takes revenge.”

"Well, I often hear him secretly lamenting that he was also a child prodigy at the beginning. He could read at the age of three and became a ghost at the age of five. But now he is a disabled person. He can only hide in Laoyin Mountain and play such tricks in the ghost world, but You can’t rely on your true ability to fight with the opponent..."

"..."

"Ah this..."

Erguotou was silent for a long time as he listened, as if countless questions in his heart were instantly solved.

But while I was relieved, I also felt a little strange: Why does this sound familiar?

"But the dignified descendants of the ten surnames, the head of the Zhencong Mansion, have ended up like this because of their personal feud with the Meng family. This is our opportunity."

Hu Ma sensed the change in Erguotou's mentality and took the opportunity to say: "Now he is imprisoned in that small mountain village and only lives under the protection of the Lord of Laoyin Mountain. Although the Zhencun Mansion has been opened and the momentum is rising, he has too many things to do. Can't care."

"Otherwise, how could you take that Zi Tai Sui so easily?"

"Haha, his surname today is actually not Hu, but... Bai!"

"..."

"Damn it, that's what it is!"

When Erguotou heard this, his suspicion disappeared and he even got a little excited: "Let me just say, how dare you be named Hu?"

"Even I, who was originally named Hu, didn't dare to say that my surname was Hu anymore after the Meng family came to Mingzhou!"

"Since you are a descendant of the Hu family, you are subject to restrictions and dangers every step of the way, so it is safest to change your surname!"

"..."

"Huh? Your surname is Hu?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised. It turned out that she and Erguotou were half-brothers...

But on his face he said: "I think he is too cautious, so what if my surname is Hu? Aren't my surnames also Hu? When he was willing to pull me out and give me a chance, it was actually because my surname was Hu."

"..."

"Haha, that's because you were too careless. According to me, you should have changed your name as early as possible. In fact, earlier, I even suspected that you were from the Hu family..."

Erguotou laughed, but Hu Ma was shocked.

"Kidding."

Erguotou smiled and said: "When I just arranged for you to join the Red Lantern Club, I quietly went to Laoyin Mountain to learn more about you and found out all the eighteen generations of your ancestors. Of course I knew that you had nothing to do with the Hu family. "

"Besides, that person is a member of the ghost family after all. Even if he is really abolished, he would rather die than follow the path of staying up late. The division between the two is too big to make it work!"

‘He asked about me? ’

After hearing Erguotou's words, Hu Ma felt a little surprised: 'Then how did he ask about the eighteenth generation of my ancestors? ’

'The Hu family is in Laoyin Mountain, and there are only three generations in total...'

‘Besides, why can’t the ghost family learn to keep the year old? What did he mean by this split? ’

‘…’

I originally wanted to fool Erguotou and lay the foundation in advance so that it would be convenient when discussing cooperation in the future, but now I have some doubts in my heart.

But at this critical moment, he didn’t mention it much, and just thought for a moment: “Then…”

"The City of Wasted Death is not a good place to go. Only the tenth surname and the closest and most trusted people around the tenth surname can find it."

Erguotou's voice became more solemn and he whispered: "But if you found me..."

"...I can really do it!"

"..."

Hu Ma was slightly startled: "Eh?"

Erguotou smiled and said: "Don't forget that the Yin and Yang Scenery Plate is in my hand!"

"Does our sect have inheritance? This thing used to belong to the Hu family with the tenth surname. With it in hand, I can even find the treasures left by the Hu family in the underworld. How can the City of Wasted Death be considered a What?"

"But, do you really want to go?"

"..."

Hu Ma was startled for a moment and said seriously: "Not bad."

"Yu Gong, this matter is related to the life and death of the reincarnated person. I must go there. Yu Private, in fact, this descendant of the Hu family is a poor person. Moreover, he helped me. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have had the chance. Get to know you.”

"Since he can't make this trip in person, of course I, the stooge, will make this trip for him. If this job can be successfully completed, it will be beneficial to everyone!"

"Brother, you won't help me, right? After all, Miss Red Wine mentioned that first priority..."

"..."

"Come on, your priority is external. Our friendship doesn't require you to use this to provoke me."

Erguotou sighed, and did not need Hu Ma to say it directly. He sighed: "Besides, it is related to the second cleaning. How can we not be serious? The only problem is that it is not difficult to find the City of Wasted Death, but how can I take you there?" What about the past?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma got slightly excited and said: "I have opened three doors of the house, I should have the ability to travel between yin and yang in the physical body."

"not that simple."

Erguotou said: "I've heard of the yin and yang ability of watchers, but have you ever experienced it?"

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment: "No, the yin and yang walk of the New Year Watcher is related to the opportunity to get on the bridge. I can theoretically do it, but no one is guiding me, so I haven't left yet."

"That's the problem."

Erguotou pondered and slowly explained: "First of all, the underworld is not what you think. It is not a place. It cannot even be said to be a world like the underworld or the ghost world. If you want me to describe it... then... It should be a lake and a sea.”

"Speaking of the ability to travel through the underworld, there are many ways to travel through the underworld. A ghost walker can use the underworld's road to travel. This is equivalent to a plunge into the underworld, but it is only a shallow circle, and it has not reached the gate of the underworld. , I have to come out.”

"If I go deeper, I will have to leave my body. And the Shou Sui people do have the ability to walk through yin and yang, but the deeper they go, the harder it is to come back."

"Only your three gates are outside the gate of hell. You can walk around twice and it's easy. Do you still want to enter the gate of hell?"

"Not to mention your body and deeds, you can't withstand the Yin Qi. It's just the Yin Qi of guarding the gate, so I have to let you go. Should I say it or not? When you New Year's Watchers enter the underworld, what will happen to you? It’s like a big fireball, it’s so conspicuous that if you get close to the gate of hell, you’ll be kicked out...”

"..."

Hu Ma didn't expect that there would be so many complicated things. She frowned and said, "Is there no other way?"

Erguotou laughed and said: "The City of Fusi is deep in the underworld. It's really not easy for you to get there, but who told us to go through the underworld, not to mention other abilities, but that we have a lot of knowledge and skills?"

"I really know one..."

"..."

Hu Ma really liked Erguotou so much that she cheered up and said hurriedly: "Brother, you are awesome. Sometimes I feel that you are more like the young master of the Hu family than the young master of the Hu family..."

"Hey, that's enough..."

Erguotou smiled softly, and said in a low voice: "It's simple. It's not practical to go through the ghost gate, so the only way is to sneak across..."

"Either you can ask the help of an expert in the underworld to open the underworld and go directly to the underworld, or you can find the legendary ghost cave that leads directly to the depths of the underworld and go directly into it!"
