Twilight Boundary

"So that's the purpose?"

Hearing the shout from the iron-hand Peng, Hu Ma and the others in the field were enlightened. They hadn't seen through what kind of trick this man had been hit by, but now his purpose had been seen through.

It turns out that he, or the thing he was carrying, came here for the Dayangzhai Mountain Sacrifice?

"Brother, I don't know much, how can I have such an impact?"

Hu Ma realized this in her heart, and immediately lowered her voice and asked Old Altar Master Tang who was sitting next to her.

Tang Tan Master nodded slightly and said: "There is this saying in the old custom. Happy events must be paired with a sequence. This is called harmony and beauty, and it can be regarded as a happy event. Happy events can offset disasters, but You can also be overwhelmed by bad things."

"Especially, the village is preparing to sacrifice the mountain. The heaven and earth are the basis, and the ghosts and gods are the witnesses. It must be perfect. If something goes wrong, it means that things are not going well, and something does not want to see us offering the mountain sacrifice. "

"It is precisely because offering sacrifices to the mountain is such a big deal, so you have to follow the rules and respect your status. If someone in the village is being detained for something like this, the reputation alone will not sound good."

"It is said that Master Shan will not accept such unfair offerings and forcefully sacrifice to the mountain. Not only will he not be able to gain any blessings, but he may also bring disaster..."

"..."

His words made Hu Ma frown, and he looked at the dark Lao Yin Mountain around the stockade, and a strong feeling of depression arose in his heart.

Although Dayangzhaizi held sacrifices to the mountain in order to ward off disasters, it was actually to make the second master happy.

Whether it can really ward off disasters, no one in the world can say so.

So, who on earth wanted to come over and destroy the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the mountain when he didn't even believe in the theory of warding off disasters, lest he could really avoid the disaster?

...At this time, he did not doubt others at all. There was no doubt that the person behind Iron Hand Peng must be coming towards him. Otherwise, no one would be so free and insist on destroying a village in the mountains to worship the mountain. thing.

"Everyone, everyone sit down, don't...don't move..."

And at the same critical point of Hu Ma's consciousness, while he was concentrating on thinking, the second master next to him saw the excitement in the village. He really wanted to kill everyone and beat out the iron-handed Master and Disciple Peng. He was also sweating. Come on, stretch out your hands and stop these people who want to take action.

In my heart, it seemed that I had made a difficult decision. I grinned hard and smiled at the iron-handed Peng, saying: "Peng...Master Peng, are you kidding..."

"I, I did call you master, but, a few kids..."

He turned his head, glanced at Hu Ma and the others, and said, "As you can see, these kids are all promising, but how can an old villager like me teach them such great skills?"

"Actually, it's just the children who make me happy and call me nice names. I understand that I can't be their master if I don't have the ability."

"That's exactly what I said. It's appropriate for me to kowtow to your old man, but they don't have to, right?"

"Indeed, they have learned a few moves from me, but these moves are not from our sect. I have not been lucky enough to enter the sect in this life, and I have never touched any of the unique skills in this sect, so what's the point? ...It’s not rumored externally?”

"..."

"Um?"

Iron Shou Peng's expression suddenly changed. He never expected that the Second Master would say such a thing, and the words that followed were all in vain.

But when Hu Ma next to him heard this, his expression also changed.

The old patriarch next to him had already turned red with anxiety and cursed at the second master: "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about again? Why do you start to act cowardly when things get serious? I am your brother and I will not teach this bully a lesson today. My brother's old bastard, I am not a human being..."

"elder brother……"

The second master felt sad and aggrieved at the same time, and said anxiously: "There are many guests in the village, and, besides, it seems that things have come to a head now..."

The old tribesman immediately understood that he was referring to the matter of offering sacrifices to the mountain, and the fiery man was slightly relieved, but he was still unhappy.

"That's a polite thing to say!"

At this time, a loud voice next to him shouted, it was the bald old Zhang. He squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Everyone in the field is from the door, don't you understand the rules?"

"What is said but not told outside? This is about your own unique skill."

"Can your wild tricks be applied to this level of rules?"

"We, the Red Lantern Lady Guild, have to explain all these things to the shopkeepers clearly when they recruit them. Damn you..."

"...More ruthless than the Blood Food Gang!"

"..."

As people in the Shousui sect who have a lot of work to do, with inheritance and disciples, they can actually see the truth behind this matter very clearly.

No matter what else, this Iron Hand Peng, I don’t know why, is trying to take this title by force. It is not the second master who is running for it, but obviously he is running for Hu Ma and a few younger ones.

If he really takes this position, he must be allowed to take his seat, and he must light the first incense stick when offering sacrifices to the mountain. If it is up to him, then he will have the blessing.

If he couldn't help it, Laoyinshan Dayangzhai would be completely disgraced.

The second master originally felt that Hu Ma and others had never learned anything real, and he did not want them to recognize this "master" because of him. For this matter, he would rather these young ones did not recognize him. Become your own master.

"you……"

And the iron-handed Peng, who was ridiculed by the bald old man, saw some kind of decisiveness in the slumped expression of the second master, but he was slightly confused. He looked like a puppet suddenly stuck. .

Also in this pause, Hu Ma suddenly realized something was wrong, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Woo..."

At this time, in the depths of Lao Yin Mountain, there was a whistling wind that blew, shaking the trees and blowing the dead grass. The dark night seemed to be even darker.

He had already been slightly moved, and was ready to rush out of the village, but he saw that the wind came and went quickly, and it stopped in an instant. The candles and braziers on the tables in the village gradually stabilized.

From a distance, he saw that Xiao Hongtang, who had just gone out for patrol, had also returned. There seemed to be some surprise on her little face. Hu Ma was slightly surprised in his heart: "Who is coming? Even the mountain king couldn't catch him?"

At this time in the village, everyone was dizzy by this gust of wind. They realized that the village might not be peaceful, and they were all alert.

Just as the awkwardness in their hearts was getting stronger and stronger, and the decision was made, which made Tie Shou Peng lose his words and seemed to be stunned on the spot, Hu Ma sighed softly and stood up.

"Second Master, what you said is not right."

He walked to the side of the Second Master and supported him. This opening surprised everyone around.

Then they all looked at Hu Ma and saw him smiling and said to the Second Master: "Of course you are my master. My mother-in-law personally led me to the outside village to worship you. If you are not my master, who is?"

"Ask Datong and the others, who dares not recognize the Second Master as the master?"

"..."

Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others, who were still wearing armor, nodded vigorously when they heard the words. Zhou Datong even shouted angrily: "Whoever bullies our master, twist his head off!"

The Second Master was so moved by Hu Ma's words that he didn't know what to say. His old eyes were slightly red. He patted the back of Hu Ma's hand and said: "With this Just be happy, you have great potential, you can't delay me here."

"If it's for some nonsense, to see the second master being bullied, then what's the point of us being successful?"

Hu Ma patted the second master lightly with a cold face, then turned to look at Tie Shou Peng. He didn't cast a spell, but a cold look, in the eyes of others, it was as if his figure was becoming extremely tall, like a fierce god standing in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"Datong, please go to the room and sit down, old man, and accompany me to talk."

"..."

This Tie Shou Peng has been tricked by something, but it's too deep to see.

It's better to see it and then prescribe the right medicine, but he couldn't stand the second master being excluded here, so he took him down first, no matter what the problem was, he could always find it.

The old man Sun and the master of the Tang altar who were present understood what he meant. They could only sigh. It was indeed a helpless solution. The old clan leader and the people in the village cheered in unison. Zhou Datong even jumped up to take him.

And that Iron Hand Peng was motionless, just looking coldly, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more gloomy.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, the second master suddenly grabbed Hu Ma's palm with force, shook his head, and said: "Hu boy, if you really still recognize your second master, you can't take him down."

Hu Ma wanted to whisper to the second master that there was something wrong with this Iron Hand Peng, but he heard the second master whispered: "I am not blind, I can see that Master Peng is not right, but what he said today is also a thorn in my heart."

"The people in our village have their own rules and their own ways. We are not afraid of him talking!"

"..."

As he said, his eyes slowly turned from Hu Ma's face to Zhou Datong and others, as well as the guests from all sides. The tribesmen in the village seemed to have made up their minds.

The decadence in his bones was swept away, and his voice became louder, saying loudly: "Second Master, I am not smart, and I don't have any great skills, but I have been a good person all my life, and I am not afraid to argue this truth."

"Master Peng, I have followed you for eight years and three months, and I have learned a few tricks from you, but today I am not afraid to say:"

"I call you the boss, and I also treat you as an elder."

"But I, Zhou Huai, just don't recognize you as a master, and the few children I taught have nothing to do with you. I am not afraid that God will hear this."

"..."

As he said this, he suddenly turned around and said to the old patriarch: Big brother, if you love your brothers, let someone burn the fire pit. Today, I am going to walk through the fire pit!"

"If I, Zhou Huai, did something wrong, then let this fire pit burn me to death. If I walk down..."

"Master Peng, don't mention this title!"

"..."

Beside him, the drunken old clan leader was sobered up all of a sudden. Even the old sheepskin uncle who came to help and other old people in the mountains all said in a lost voice: "Walking through the fire pit? This, this has not happened for many years..."

"You...you don't want to live?"

"..."

Even the iron-handed Peng, his stiff body trembled slightly, as if he was shaking.
