Twilight Boundary

It's Li Wazi.

There are so many guys in Dayangzhai, but Li Wazi is the smart one.

He wanted to follow Xu Ji over, but Hu Ma didn't say anything. Of course, Hu Ma wouldn't care if anything happened.

Now I saw that although the other guys had suffered some small losses and were still alive, Li Wazi fell into the well for some unknown reason. He looked pale and didn't know whether to live or die, but he sighed, raised his hand, and His dull eyelids were closed.

"Hand the rope down first!"

Hu Ma shouted upward, and the sound passed through the well mouth, buzzing.

He tied the rope around Li Wazi's waist and asked someone to pull him up first, then looked around again.

Then he saw that the well water was dirty, smelly, turbid, and bitingly cold. After searching carefully, he found some red rags in the corner of the well.

He squatted down and saw that there was indeed a corpse here, but it had long since decayed. There were some pieces of meat hanging on the skeleton. He could still vaguely see that it was a woman, and her clothes were dirty from the well water. Dirty, it looks like she is wearing a red wedding dress.

"He is also a poor person..."

Hu Ma thought of what the evil spirit had just said and vaguely guessed a certain story.

It's just that he just sighed in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Second Master has taught you that you should not show your weakness when facing these evil spirits, and sympathy and compassion is also a kind of weakness.

Xie Sui doesn't know what's going on. Even if they can communicate, it doesn't mean that their logic is the same as that of a living person.

I showed sympathy to her here, but maybe she thought she was weak and came to harm her instead.

He just put a sullen face on his face, inserted the fire stick into the wet mud on the well wall, and took the bamboo basket.

Little by little, he fished out the dead bones from the water at the bottom of the well, put them into the bamboo basket, and helped her pick up the scattered bones.

Even though the corpse was rotten, it still took up a lot of space at the bottom of the well, making it difficult to move. When Hu Ma picked her up, the bones shook, and her head suddenly came to the side of Hu Ma's neck.

In the withered eye sockets, there seemed to be a vague ghost fire floating, and the withered mouth had sharp teeth.

Hu Ma's movements suddenly stopped. The bottom of the well was cold and dead, and she couldn't smell her breath.

"Don't be mischievous, I also have some moral principles."

Hu Ma held her breath and said slowly: "The distance is so close, and a blood-yang arrow hits you, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"..."

After finishing speaking, he waited for a long time before continuing his actions.

This was not a lie to her. She dared to come down because she had three pillars of virtue. If she really wanted to fight, she could only let go when no one saw her in this well.

But of course it would be better not to fight this.

I don’t know if he was frightened by Hu Ma’s words, but the withered bones really calmed down, and Hu Ma put them into the bamboo basket piece by piece.

After finishing everything, Hu Ma breathed out softly and motioned to the person above to pull him up.

"Pa la..."

At this moment, the withered arm resting on the bamboo basket shook slightly, and a dim gold bracelet fell off.

It landed just at Hu Ma's feet, splashing a few drops of sewage.

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, but she understood what the female corpse meant. She sneered, picked up the gold bracelet, and stuffed it back into the bamboo basket.

"Don't do this, we didn't come here just to get something."

At the bottom of the well, a faint sigh sounded, and the bamboo basket was pulled up safely.

…

When Hu Ma also climbed out of the well, he saw that the guys around him were far away from the bamboo basket, and they were looking at Hu Ma with a look of admiration.

Not only the guys around, but also the villagers in some low thatched huts around, seemed to be looking at me with awe. Outside the thatched hut, in the dark night, something also seemed to be secretly looking at me. .

"The purpose has been achieved..."

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the guys to collect her bones as mentioned before, bury them next to the official road, light a few sticks of incense and burn some paper money.

The guys were still scared, but with Hu Ma around, they became more courageous. Plus, Hu Ma had already fished the person out from the bottom of the well, and nothing happened. He was just helping to restrain himself, so it didn't matter. So, Three or four people came forward to help restrain him.

Hu Ma also took the opportunity to check on Li Wa'er, only to see that his eyes were round and wide, his face was bloodless, and he had no breath.

The body was stiff, but it seemed different from a real dead person.

I don’t know if there was something secretly blessing me, but the rest of my life turned out to be extremely smooth.

Together they found hoe and shovel, dug a deep pit far away from the village, and buried the bones. During the whole process, there was no further disturbance, and the flax was burned in front of the grave. Xiang, comforted him in a low voice.

When we returned to the village, it was already dawn, and an unknown number of people gathered in the village that had been empty all night.

"Thank you, Archmage..."

"We have been harassed by this business for a long time..."

"..."

It can be seen that the people in the village are sincerely grateful, but the person they are thanking is not Hu Ma.

But Shopkeeper Wu stood by the well with his hands behind his back.

He ignored the villagers kowtowing around him, just looked at Hu Ma and said calmly: "Where is Xu Ji?"

"have no idea."

Hu Ma's heart sank when she saw the old shopkeeper coming to the village.

He knew that this was a critical moment, so he silently adjusted his expression, stepped forward, and said: "Last night, I saw him taking these guys and setting off early. I knew I couldn't compete with him, so I followed him secretly. .”

"I originally thought of snatching it from him when he was about to succeed, but I didn't expect that after a while, I suddenly saw a gust of wind and someone screaming. I knew something was wrong, so I plucked up the courage to come over."

"I met these obsessed guys on the road, hid from a few evil spirits, and picked up Master Xu Ji's wooden sword."

"Seeing that the number of people was still lacking, I turned back with these guys to save people."

"Unexpectedly, everyone else was found. Even Li Wazi, who somehow fell into the well, was also found."

"But Master Xu Ji has never been found, and we don't know what happened to him."

"..."

Having said this, he paused slightly, as if he had just remembered it, and said, "By the way, there is another person hanging on a tree at the foot of the southwest mountain."

"I saw him last night, but I felt that there was a sinister atmosphere there, as if there was something powerful there. I saw that the guy was out of breath, so I didn't dare to get close. I just led the guys to the village. ”

This answer was very candid, and he did not hide his desire to take credit at all.

Even the slightest complaint was expressed directly.

Shopkeeper Wu listened to his words and didn't say much. His face only turned slightly gloomy, and he suddenly turned around and asked the others:

"You guys came here together, what did you do?"

"..."

"I...we..."

Directly meeting Shopkeeper Wu's gaze was Hu Zi, who was familiar with Xu Ji. His face turned slightly pale and he did not dare to lie. He said in a trembling voice: "We came with Master Xu Ji. Master Xu Ji asked us to light torches and gather around. Stand at the well."

"When he saw something strange, he blew heavily and scraped the surrounding stones and walls with a knife. He also... He also asked Li Wazi to... pour something into the well."

Now that Xu Ji is missing, Shopkeeper Wu's face is gloomy, but he really doesn't even dare to lie.

He even told the truth about forcing Li Wazi to get close to the well.

"Is this what was poured?"

Shopkeeper Wu squatted down by the well with a sullen face. There was some wet, black soil on the ground that Li Wazi had spilled.

Everyone else nodded. Shopkeeper Wu twisted it a little, brought it to his nose and sniffed it, and his expression became even more gloomy.

"Brainless thing."

He snorted coldly: "Let him come here to solve the trouble. He is not the one who caused trouble. Spreading this in the middle of the night, do you really think that you are still being watched over by the Red Lantern Queen?"

Everyone else was stunned and silent.

Hu Ma secretly thought, could it be that the things used by Master Xu Ji could easily attract evil spirits in the middle of the night?

Unexpectedly, this preparation happened to hide the tricks he had done secretly.

Of course, even if there is no such problem, he is not afraid.

I used blood food to attract evil spirits, and they had already eaten them cleanly without leaving any trace. Who could blame me?

"Okay, let's find the person first!"

Shopkeeper Wu didn't ask any more questions. He gave the order with a cold face and let the gang of waiters get busy.

Behind him, some elderly people from the village had already come over, holding two pieces of coarse cloth and a basket of eggs in their hands. It seemed that they wanted to follow local customs and thank these people for getting rid of evil spirits in their village. Mage, but he didn't dare to get close.

"Brother Hu Ma, are you okay?"

Zhou Datong and others also gathered around him, looking at him with concern.

Yesterday they wanted to follow them, but Hu Ma refused to let them. They didn't sleep well that night, so they followed the shopkeeper over early in the morning.

"I'm fine."

Hu Ma shook his head, looked at Li Wazi by the well, and said: "Carry the person back, after all, he came from the same village."

When Zhou Datong and others saw Li Wazi's tragic situation, they all couldn't bear it. Just through the conversation with those people, they understood Li Wazi's experience.

Young Master Xu Ji was a man of high moral character and had old things to protect him. However, he did not do the dangerous thing of throwing things into the well to force the evil spirits to come out. He did not let his followers do it. Instead, he forced Li Wazi to do it. , how can you not feel angry?

Of course, deep down in their hearts, although they were a little angry, they were also somewhat resentful.

Not saying he deserved it, but it was Li Wazi who asked for it.

The young man who was born in the village has simple ideas, but he never thinks about the things that are available and not available.

On one side, two people were sent to find the people in the village, borrowed the door panel, and carried Li Wazi back to Zhuangzi. The others joined in the search for Xu Ji.

There is enough light during the day, and there is no need to worry about evil spirits. People can spread out, which is much more convenient than at night. First, they found the guy who was hanged on the tree. He had blue face, protruding eyes, and a long tongue hanging out. cut.

But when I came here last night, the place was still gloomy and creepy.

Now when I came here, I saw that everything was normal and the sun was shining brightly. Only the people hanging on the trees were swaying in the wind.

His dim eyes stared condescendingly at everyone.
