Twilight Boundary

Chapter 699: Complaints from the Villagers

In the stockade, the tables and chairs were moved away, and a deep ditch about ten feet long and about ten feet wide was dug. It was covered with a layer of firewood, gravel, and thorns. On both sides of the deep ditch, there were already inserted trees. Bundles of incense were put on, and everyone stood quietly on both sides.

The second master was barefoot, rolled up his trouser legs, and watched attentively as a fire began to catch up in the ditch. On his old face, the ditch was like a knife.

Many of the onlookers looked worried, as if they still thought the matter was unimportant.

The people present, both in terms of ability and status, were infinitely superior to Iron Hand Peng. It was just a matter of convenience to deal with this old guy.

I don’t understand why Mr. Hu’s master would take such a big risk just because of the words of this little brat. Thinking about it, even though they sold their respect as juniors in the village and came to watch the ceremony, they still didn’t understand the rules in the mountains.

As for the clansmen in the village and neighboring villages, although they had tried hard to persuade the second master at the beginning, now that they saw that the fire pit was prepared, their expressions became extremely solemn, and they stood silently on both sides, looking at the second master. His eyes seemed to be somewhat sacred.

Walking through the fire pit is the way of the people at the bottom.

This is the last way for them to express this truth and express this tone after they have become accustomed to not expecting help from others.

"To put it bluntly, these are ordinary people gambling with God."

Next to General Guoliang, General Manager Xu Wensheng and Xu whispered: "Because I had no place to reason, and I couldn't swallow this breath, I believed that I was wronged, and even God would not watch me die."

"If God doesn't even open his eyes, then he will leave his life here, because if God doesn't even care about him, then he won't live in this miserable world."

"In a village, if someone voluntarily walks into a fire pit, no matter whether he is alive or not, the people in the village will believe him."

"To say the least, even if he died in this pit of fire and let his neighbors understand his intentions, that iron-handed Peng would not be able to control his disciples."

"Country people always take life and death into account when something happens to them."

"..."

Yang Gong listened with mixed emotions, and whispered: "Why do you need to bet your life on such a trivial matter? This should be the responsibility of the official."

Manager Xu smiled bitterly and said: "The general is also from a poor background. Don't you know when has the official ever been able to count on you?"

Yang Gong gritted his teeth and said: "From now on, when we become the master, we will take care of this matter."

"If you don't care, chop their heads off!"

"..."

Manager Xu couldn't help but shrink his neck as he listened. He actually heard strong and real hatred from Yang Gong's words.

Seeing that the fire had started in the ditch, the second master slowly raised his head and looked at the other end of the ditch, Tie Shou Peng's face. After the second master proposed to walk out of the fire pit, the old man, It's like he's become a different person.

Originally he was aggressive and arrogant, but now he seemed to be suffering from dementia. The firelight shone on his face, and his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

"God……"

The second master hissed, his voice trembling: "I'm watching!"

Just saying these words, the whole village seemed to be trembling a little, and the elders all shed tears of distress.

Looking at his brother, he also shouted with a trembling voice: "God is watching!"

The next moment, other tribesmen in the village, regardless of gender, old or young, all shouted: "God is watching!"

When this voice was shouted, the sound shook the sky. Even these highly capable and high-status guests were actually among the shouts. Their bodies trembled, as if they felt the wind blowing inside the village. stand up.

There was something in the direction of the old fire pond, struggling to get up. Something ancient and simple emerged from the depths of the village, which actually made them feel awe in their hearts.

The second master, with this ancient and mysterious temperament, gritted his teeth and stepped out into the fire pit.

Everyone's eyes widened and they could see clearly that the second master did not use any method.

The flames bursting out from the charcoal burned his skin and flesh, and his clothes and robes seemed to be suddenly on fire, wrapping him up. I don't know how many people, at this moment, couldn't even bear to look at them. Instead, he raised his robe and covered his face.

"That……"

But at the next moment, someone suddenly shouted, and the people nearby looked up when they heard it.

The next moment, everyone opened their eyes wide and their faces were full of shock.

When the words "God is watching" rang out from the village, Hu Ma was already carrying the official's sword, leading Xiao Hongtang, and strode out of the village. He did not look back, but there was already a look in his eyes. A forest, watching this deep mountain.

He lifted the knife and blew lightly. In an instant, the evil energy on the knife poured into the forest.

There were countless sneaky things in the dark shadows. They were all frightened and fled far away, not daring to approach.

He didn't know who was hiding in the woods and instilling evil energy into the iron-handed Peng. He didn't even know what the ability of this person was when even the tiger couldn't catch him. Now he was hiding in the woods again. where?

Just because the second master received this anger for nothing has already made him feel resentful. Now that the second master has to vent his anger by walking into a fire pit, he can't let this monster ruin a big event.

After driving away the evil in the surroundings, Hu Ma slowly exhaled a breath of Yang Qi, and his body gradually became colder as the Yang Qi was exhaled, and he completely merged with the gloom in the mountains and forests. He walked into the deep forest with heavy steps.

The fields were silent, and the endless movements were caught in the wind and poured into his ears.

This is the method of listening to the graves. If you are good at it, you can also listen to the wind directly.

At this moment, his heart didn't even beat, but the countless movements caught in the wind, all poured into his ears, every detail was clear.

He could hear the countless nervous voices in the Dayang Village now, and he could also hear the determination of the second master to walk into the fire pit for his innocence that he had lived for a lifetime, and he could even hear the doubts that those noble masters didn't understand, and heard the sneaky wandering.

Until, he suddenly heard a shocking sound in the Dayang Village, and then there was indescribable happiness and joy.

You can even see that the steaming atmosphere in the sky above Dayang Village is rising rapidly and being stained with a layer of divine light. Suddenly, something strange is mixed in the wind and flies towards Dayang Village in an instant.

"Found it!"

At the same moment, Hu Ma suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he rushed out in an instant.

The sky-measuring boots were under his feet. After borrowing them from the netherworld, he never returned them.

His movement was like using the magical power of shrinking the earth into an inch. In an instant, there was only a faint shadow, which passed through the deep forest and came to the west of Dayang Village, about three or four miles away. His eyes suddenly looked at a group of fire shadows.

Now he has borrowed the evil spirit from the punishment officer's sword and driven away the evil spirits around the village. All the mountains are silent and no human voices can be heard.

But here, there was a man wearing a tattered sheepskin coat, with a colorful face painting and all kinds of strange gadgets hanging on his body. He was jumping around beside the fire, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was performing a ritual:

"Born without blessings, it is a blessing. If the heaven does not send disasters, disasters will come naturally."

"There is no place to avoid the three disasters and eight difficulties. I know that this heart is the source of disaster!"

"..."

When Hu Ma rushed to the edge of the forest, he just caught up with the man who finished reciting the strange lines of the play and held out a black thing in his hand.

It was a heart, and it was still beating.

Hu Ma didn't know what magic he was performing, but he didn't have time to do it. The moment he arrived, he suddenly raised his knife and chopped it.

The knife moved with him, and in a few steps, he had already rushed over a distance of more than ten feet, and a cold light swept through the forest.

"Oh, the ghost hall official, you come so fast..."

The man next to the fire heard the sound of the knife, and turned his head. On his face covered with oil paint, he showed a strange smile. He didn't have time to continue casting spells. He laughed and suddenly retreated behind him.

But Hu Ma had already drawn his knife, so how could he escape? The man seemed to have only retreated half a step, and the knife light had arrived. In an instant, he directly split the other party in half.

In theory, this demon who came from nowhere should be captured and interrogated first.

But Hu Ma was worried about the second master and didn't dare to let him ruin things. This time, he used all his strength. At worst, he would kill him and ask his soul!

But unexpectedly, this knife was really fierce, but when it passed through the other party's body, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Looking closely, he saw that the man who was split in half by himself was blown away by the wind.

What he cut was actually a shadow?

"Miasma?"

Just when the opponent's shadow disappeared, Hu Ma immediately realized the reason.

There are many miasma in Laoyin Mountain, which can make people have illusions, and sometimes even form a mirage-like scene. Now there is exactly one here. I don't know if it is the opponent's magic, and it is the illusion formed by the miasma that makes him miss.

But after Hu Ma cut down with a knife, he did not hesitate and immediately stamped his feet heavily on the ground.

He was a big guard, stamping his feet with all his strength, the power was so great that the ground around him trembled. The next moment, Hu Ma heard a cry of "ouch", and saw someone in the shadow next to him, standing unsteadily and falling to the ground.

This time, he saw it clearly, knowing that it was not an illusion, so he shook the punishment official's sword in his hand and stepped forward, and the punishment official's sword in his hand was already aimed at the opponent's neck.

But he didn't expect that he would suddenly feel empty after taking two steps. It turned out that there was a rabbit hole where he landed, but it was covered by weeds. It was such an incredible coincidence that he fell into the rabbit hole.

In the rush, his feet fell into the air, and even his ankles could be broken by the momentum.

Even the punishment knife in his hand suddenly cut his neck because of the shaking of his body.

The black shadow flew up from the ground and smiled, "You are too impatient. When people are impatient, it is easy to get into trouble..."
