Twilight Boundary

"The Meng family is too arrogant..."

"You attacked the Hu family because the Hu family has been beaten and has no ability to fight back against the Meng family!"

"But don't forget that the Hu family is ruthless!"

"In your eyes, this may be a crisis of both sides losing and letting others take advantage, but in the eyes of the Hu family, this is finally an opportunity to pull your Meng family to the gambling table!"

I believe that the Meng family uncle and the Meng family aunt have understood what I said, so Hu Ma doesn't need to ask too much.

The Tongyin Meng family has a strong foundation and deep roots. It is not an easy task to bring down the Meng family, but now these two have given me a surprise, which makes me look forward to it.

He searched in the second master's room and found a wine jar left over from his drinking. This was the wine that Hu Ma brought to him when he returned to the village the first year.

Now that the wine was all gone, he used the jar to pickle pickles. Hu Ma poured out the pickles, dusted the bottom with incense ash, and drew the Hu family's shackle curse on the jar. Then he put the eldest master of the Meng family into the jar, sealed it, detained him, and handed it to Xiao Hongtang to hold.

And the eldest lady of the Meng family was arranged to live in a small wooden house where hunters lived in a valley not far from the village, and planned to let Zhou Datong come to watch her.

... Forget it, let Li Wazi come!

After doing all this, he took advantage of the night and led Xiao Hongtang slowly into the village.

In his heart, he pondered the words that came out of the Meng family's mouth bit by bit: What did the ten surnames do after watching the collapse of Duyi?

Sealing the reincarnation, beheading the human Xiao, offering sacrifices to the three corpses, dismantling the bridge of life, destroying the ghost gate...

These are all preparations made by the ten surnames for ascending to immortality?

So, what role did the Hu family play in this plan of ascending to immortality?

Is it true, as the Meng family said, that the reason the two families became enemies was just because the Hu family wanted to dominate?

In fact, I don’t know much about the Hu family. My original father and grandfather knew nothing about them. I’m not sure if they will also be obsessed with this “becoming immortal” thing, but I know my mother-in-law…

Could it be that she is such a kind-hearted person who sometimes seems a little pedantic, would she also want to become an immortal?

I couldn’t sort out my thoughts for a while. As I was thinking, I heard a sigh from the shadows in the deep forest next to me. A vague figure sitting on a tree stump looked at him quietly.

Hu Ma turned around, bowed deeply, and said with a smile: "Senior, I was wondering why I haven't seen you for so long. I have something to ask you. The village is already preparing for the mountain sacrifice. Do you have any requirements?"

"Do you want me to burn two paper figures to serve you?"

"..."

"Throw away the dirty thoughts in your mind..."

Senior Shanjun sighed and said: "Paper figures are used to appease the ghosts in the underworld, they are useless to me."

Hu Ma hurriedly said: "I've made a note. Do you have any other requirements? I'll tell the people in the village that we must make this sacrifice beautiful."

"The Hu family is getting powerful..."

Shanjun didn't like to pay attention to him, but just sighed and said: "I was just locked up by you. The person who got up has a noble air, and is definitely not an ordinary woman. "

"Of course."

Hu Ma smiled and said, "That person is Meng..."

"Don't talk about it."

Senior Shanjun stopped him and said, "I don't want dozens of Lu Fujun to come and make things difficult for me. The affairs of the rivers and lakes and the court have nothing to do with me, so I don't care who is locked up by you. Even when you interrogate them, I have to stay away. "

"I just saw that the Hu family is now wrapped in luck, and I felt emotional, so I came to see you."

"..."

Hu Ma could feel the complexity of Senior Shanjun's mood, so he also pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Senior, the Hu family is not blessed, and someone took this opportunity to gamble with my Hu family."

Senior Shanjun listened and was silent for a long time. He said softly: "The Hu family is indeed unlucky, and is even worse than ordinary people."

"There are ways, evil spirits, and mansion masters in this world, but there are also some things beyond the level of ways, such as karma, three disasters and eight difficulties. If someone really borrows these things to deal with the Hu family, you really have to be careful."

"Of course, the person who triggered these things will also pay a heavy price, that's it."

"..."

Hu Ma nodded and said: "But the blood feud is deep, and my mother-in-law is still suffering. If there is a chance to overthrow the Meng family, I don't want to retreat."

"When have you, the Hu family, stubbornly done cruel things and retreated?"

Hearing this, Shanjun smiled bitterly and said: "I also know that you are undecided and I can't persuade you. Besides, these things are actually It has nothing to do with me. I have already repaid the favor of your Hu family. "

"But..."

"..."

He also paused slightly and said softly: "I always feel strange. The ancestors of the Hu family have done so many things. It seems that they should not leave such a big lifeline."

"The Hu family is not blessed. All ten families know it, but because of this, all ten families think that they can clamp down on the Hu family at any time. Even if the Meng family attacks you, they must be careful at all times, fearing that you will break the jar and really destroy the Zhensui Mansion, but if..."

"..."

Hu Ma slowly took it over and said: "What if they survived?"

"With such a big lifeline, if the Hu family survives the natural disaster, does it mean that the Hu family has no weaknesses?"

"..."

The tiger fell silent, seeming to appreciate it. He didn't know when it started. This boy from the Hu family no longer talked to him like a junior who was being instructed, but as an equal.

After a long time, he sighed softly and said: "I am just an outsider, and I don't understand this. Although I have this guess, I still have to remind you that even your father's ability will die from this, so you must be careful. "

Hu Ma said no more, just nodded, and suddenly said: "Senior, you are the prince of the mansion, but you are trapped in the mountains. You have friendship with my Hu family, but they are not all the same. Seeing that you are happy every day, but you are always You are frowning, I didn’t know you were in this mountain..."

"...Who is guarding?"

"..."

There was already a sense of temptation in these words, but after asking, there was silence for a long time. When I looked again, I saw only shadows of trees, and Senior Tiger had already left.

"I still don't want to say it..."

Hu Ma sighed and had no choice but to take Xiao Hongtang and continue walking into the village. With a complicated heart, she asked: "Xiao Hongtang, have you ever seen my father?"

Xiao Hongtang shook her two pigtails: "No, when my mother-in-law took me back to the village, Brother Mazi was the only one at home."

Hu Ma thought for a while and said, "Then do you remember whether your mother-in-law ever talked about him?"

"Remember."

Xiao Hongtang thought for a while and said, "My mother-in-law also cried, saying that her husband was a stubborn bitch and her son was a naughty bitch. She was also a good daughter when she was young, and she shouldn't suffer the consequences of marrying into your Hu family."

"..."

Hu Ma also didn't know what to say. She really felt that her mother-in-law was quite miserable. She sighed and said, "By the way, where were you before you followed my mother-in-law?"

"Why have you also eaten Zi Tai Sui?"

"..."

Xiao Hongtang was in a daze, as if thinking about it for a moment, then shook her head happily and said, "Forgot!"

"Xiao Hongtang was brought out of the big house by her mother-in-law. She doesn't remember what happened in the big house. After she came out, she has been with her mother-in-law!"

"..."

Okay, I have always wanted to ask Xiao Hongtang, but every time I thought about the question, it ended so hastily.

Back in the village, Hu Ma found Li Wazi and gave him some instructions, telling him not to tell Zhou Datong. Of course Li Wazi agreed and went out to do things that night.

Looking at Dayangzhai today, it seems to be quite festive. Although there are still a few days until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there are already some respected old people from the nearby villages who have come to help.

As they age, they all understand these old rules and make arrangements in a logical manner.

Of course, sometimes they themselves would quarrel, one saying that that was wrong, the other saying that they had remembered it wrong, and they would get so anxious that they would even pick up a hoe.

Hu Ma is not worried about them taking action, anyway, none of them can beat the second master...

... The two brothers, the second master and the old patriarch, one is smart and the other is strong, are also famous in the surrounding villages.

Of course, after knowing that Dayangzhaizi was going to offer sacrifices to the mountain, people from other villages, although they didn’t say it, felt awkward in their hearts. After all, Dayangzhaizi would be decent if they sacrificed the mountain. What village is not envious of?

However, no matter how unhappy they were, the people in these villages were suppressed when they saw the majestic armor on Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu, as well as the soldiers who were running errands around them.

This is a real official, who wouldn't be afraid?

As all the affairs in the village were settled one by one, people from all walks of life gradually arrived to watch the ceremony.

First, Mr. Xu Wensheng, the general manager of Mingzhou grain, received the letter. Mr. Xu, the commander-in-chief Zhang Lu, the deputy commander-in-chief Ji Niangzi, the incense-burning master from the Hongdeng Empress Temple, several wealthy gentry in Mingzhou City, the nobles of the aristocratic families, etc. all brought them with them. A group of servants came over with a car full of gifts.

When they entered the village, not to mention the other nearby villages, even the people in Dayang Village were frightened.

Even Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu felt that it was inappropriate to greet these people when they arrived. After all, under General Baoliang, Xu Wensheng, Mr. Xu, Bald Lao Zhang and others had higher titles than the two of them. It's half a chip higher.

Then they gathered around Hu Ma and hurriedly arrived outside the village. Unexpectedly, Master Xu not only ignored them, but also Hu Ma. He gave a scrawled salute, looked around, and just said : "Where is my old brother?"

"Brother?"

Before Hu Ma could react, she saw Xu Wensheng scanning the crowd and immediately recognized the second master.

He hurriedly stepped forward, pushed aside the crowd, and bowed deeply to the second master. With a smile on his face, he said enthusiastically: "Brother, do you still remember me, Lao Xu?"

"I've long wanted to come to the village to visit you..."
