Twilight Boundary

When the sixth arrow flew from the Wrongful Death City, the noble Zhang family already had a chief, a young master, Mr. Wutou, four hall officials, and led the small hall officials who could be summoned in a short time and were trustworthy, and rushed to a mysterious wild mountain.

From the second arrow, the eldest master of the noble Zhang family had made a decision. The noble Zhang family was not important, the door lintel was not important, the ancestral house was not important, and even the relatives and clansmen living in the house were not important.

Those human nails who were defending the noble Zhang and dying one by one were of course even less important. He took into account the time difference and did not even send people to ask clearly.

He just asked the Meng family to help deal with the evil spirit and sent people to this place.

This mountain is extremely strange, with majestic mountains, pleasant scenery, and stretching for thousands of miles, but it is not as famous as other famous mountains and swamps.

There is no mountain god here to receive incense, nor are there any mountain spirits and wild monsters here. In fact, because there are few roads and thin soil here, there are no people gathered here. There are only a few villagers at the foot of the mountain, working from sunrise to sunset.

No one knows the name of this mountain, and no one knows the surname of this mountain. Even this mountain seems to be forgotten by the world.

Even the noble Zhang is careful and will not send people here easily.

There is only a small stone house on the mountainside, where an old man who is blind, deaf, has a crippled leg, has one arm, and even has a part of his tongue bitten off lives. He lives here all year round and relies on the villagers in the village at the foot of the mountain to send some corn to eat every month.

But if it is windy and rainy, or something else, he will be hungry if there is no food for several days.

When Mr. Wutou and the young master of the Zhang family brought people over, the old man was squatting in front of his stone house to eat.

In his only remaining hand, he held a broken coarse porcelain basin, which contained a few grains of corn porridge, a salted radish strip floating on top, and a few black, round things, which were some sheep dung balls picked up on the road by the boy who went up the mountain to deliver food.

The old man drank the porridge so thinly that he didn't even know how to chew it. He drank the porridge and the sheep dung balls together without noticing anything.

The naughty boy squatted on the side and watched with a smile, looking excited.

Because the old man ate slowly, he was bored and picked up small stones from the side and threw them into the basin from a distance.

"What a courage..."

When Mr. Wutou and the young master of the Zhang family came to the front, they saw this scene, and their pupils shrank suddenly with anger, and they were furious: "In order to let the people down the mountain support the second master, they gave a hundred taels of silver."

"Is it because I am worried that I gave too much and left a loophole? A hundred taels of silver, is it so useless? We haven't had anyone here for three years, and they are giving the second master such food?"

In anger, he picked up a nail in his hand and raised his hand to shoot.

Unexpectedly, the nail was sharp and was about to hit the naughty boy, but inexplicably, it suddenly disappeared and flew from behind him. He hurriedly turned his head and shot, and the nail was caught between his fingers. He was shocked and surprised for a moment, and looked up.

It happened that the old man who was drinking porridge slowly tilted his head to look at him, and his empty eye sockets faced him, and everyone in the field was shocked.

The naughty boy also looked back, and suddenly saw so many people coming behind him, and he immediately restrained himself.

He quietly dropped a handful of stones in his hand on the ground.

The old man slowly finished his meal, including the radish strips and corn, and ate every grain. He put down the clay basin, stretched out one arm, groped for the basket, and put the clay basin in it. The naughty boy immediately picked up the basket and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by him.

The naughty boy saw that there were strangers next to him, and he was in a hurry to go back, looking impatiently.

Sometimes the old man would grab a handful of sour dates or something else for him to eat, but not this time.

He slowly retracted his palm, and actually groped in his arms, and took out a piece of black gold, motioning to him.

The naughty boy also knew that there was a small piece of gold hidden in his family, saying that it was for him to marry a wife.

But this piece seemed to be bigger than the one at home.

He picked up the gold excitedly, and jumped down the mountain. Those who went up the mountain stood still and did not dare to stop him.

Until the naughty boy walked away, Mr. Wutou slowly signaled to the young master of the Zhang family, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed to the old man.

The young master of the Zhang family stood up after he kowtowed, and carefully came to the old man and said respectfully: "Nephew Zhang Huanjue kowtows to the second uncle, second uncle... you have suffered."

"..."

When he said this, the people behind him knelt deeper and did not dare to raise their heads.

Noble Zhang did not touch magic, but this one was an exception. Not only was he a master of the door, but he even had amazing magical powers, but it was not forced by Noble Zhang, but because he liked it.

But it was also obvious that because he liked it, he paid a price that others could not imagine. In Noble Zhang, the master was in charge, but it was the second master who suppressed the door and made people dare not move.

The old man did not speak, but slowly stretched out his palm to the nephew.

The young master of the Zhang family hurried forward and wrote on his palm.

After writing a few words, the old man suddenly frowned, his expression seemed unhappy, and he shook his head slowly.

The young master of the Zhang family hurriedly said: "Yes, my father also said that this may be a trick of the other party."

"People all over the world, including those with the nine surnames, openly respect our Zhang family, but secretly they all want to know where this dragon's lair is. If this place wasn't so important, there would be no need for you, my second uncle, to endure this hardship..."

"But my father also said that even if it might be a trick by the other party to follow us to find this dragon's lair, we still have to come here. The other party's nightmare method is too powerful. We, the Zhang family, cannot take this risk."

"Besides, when destiny is about to come, even if you are discovered by others, it is not that important. At worst, you will find someone to sleep in the dragon's lair."

"..."

The old man slowly took his hand and seemed to be thinking. After a long time, his empty eyes suddenly shook around.

If he had eyes, he seemed to be looking at the people following him from left to right.

The young master of the Zhang family hurriedly wrote a few words on his hand, and then said quickly: "It's not that my father doesn't trust your ability, second uncle, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to defend the dragon's lair, but it's just a matter of great importance."

"The man's nightmare skills are so powerful that he has destroyed the lintel of the Zhang family and summoned the innocent souls under the memorial monument... My father said that he had already guessed the identity of that man, which was different from what the imperial master said at the time."

"This person is the evil spirit who once ruined the luck of the previous dynasty!"

"..."

The old man's body, which was like a dead tree, seemed to be stunned. He suddenly opened his mouth and laughed silently.

Only half of his tongue was left trembling, as if he was extremely happy.

"yes……"

Seeing the old man laughing, the young master of the Zhang family also became happy and said loudly: "Congratulations to the second uncle, congratulations to the second uncle!"

"You finally have a chance to fight him..."

"..."

"..."

While they were talking, the naughty boy who delivered the meal had already returned home with the gold. The parents at home were discussing: "I just saw a noble man from a foreign country wearing brocade and hat going up the mountain. I don't know what to do with him." Does that old thing matter?"

"The food we deliver to the top tomorrow should be better, so that others don't look at it and think that we are careless and don't support him..."

Just then, they caught up with the naughty boy and took out the gold. The couple's eyes suddenly lit up when they saw it. They took it in their hands and wiped it again and again, bit it and bit it. They said happily: "Sure enough, the noble master is kind-hearted. This is a reward for us." Jin Zili, I’m afraid I’ll have to pay for food again.”

"Hurry up, hurry up, kill chickens, kill chickens, kill pigs, kill sheep, tomorrow's meal will be better, big oil and water!"

"..."

The woman was also happy, but distressed, and said, "The pig hasn't been raised yet. It would be a pity to kill it now. It will make a lot more money in the next year!"

The man said: "Then kill the sheep!"

The woman was even more displeased: "The sheep still have their babies, and they are about to lay down."

The man also raised his head and took a look, frowned, and said: "Then let's kill the chicken. The chicken-killing department is here."

The woman originally nodded, but when she was about to prepare, she hesitated and said, "The chicken still lays eggs, and it all depends on them for salt."

"Besides, your noble lord, how can you still eat chicken? Maybe you can make your own rice!"

"..."

The man felt that he had an ideal and thought about it again, and then said: "Let's put two hard eggs on the table, pick some toon tips and fry them."

"Go and touch some loaches and shrimps in the river. The noble man has eaten too many good things. He just loves this bite..."

"..."

As they talked, they happily hid the gold, hugged the baby again, and asked carefully if they met anyone on the mountain, who gave the gold, if there is any more, and if they asked him to pass any words. .

I just didn't notice that as the piece of gold entered the house, the ancestor's tablet in the main room gradually turned black at some point, and even the writing on it could not be seen clearly.

The sky outside seemed to be getting cloudy. The chickens in the nest, the sheep in the yard, and the pigs in the pen all froze on the spot for no reason. Little by little, they shrank down and died quietly. Even the chickens lay down. The eggs made some noise and black water flowed out.

When they felt that it was suddenly so dark that they could not see clearly, they felt a wave of boredom. They gasped hard but could not breathe out, and even their eyes began to become numb.

The man suddenly let go of the doll, stood up in a daze, walked to the water tank, plunged his head in, and let himself drown. The woman, with a straight look in her eyes, grabbed the doll and threw it into the pot. Inside, add water to it.

When the fire started in the stove, the naughty boy didn't fight or cry, but his eyes were filled with fear.

It's not just their family.

When the wind passed through their house, other families in the village also became hysterical.

When this wind blew to other villages, those who were working or resting at noon gradually became silent.

The scorching sun in the sky is blazing down on the world, but the villages on the mountainside no longer feel any warmth.
