Twilight Boundary

"The skeleton of the old Hu Shan brother?"

Compared to Hu Ma's calmness at this time, the second master was more moved.

He always felt that many of the misfortunes in the Hu family were related to the taciturn Hu Shan. He could have been buried in the pond when he protected Dayang Village from disasters.

But because the body was not found and no one in the Hu family was known whether he was dead or alive, no one in the Hu family buried him in the pond. Therefore, during the period when Hu Ma changed, the fire pond in the village could not protect him.

Moreover, at that time, I was short-sighted and had the same idea as the people in other villages. I felt that my ancestors were only my own and could not be easily protected by outsiders. So although I was a little angry for my mother-in-law, I didn't know how to tell the village.

Now, he has walked on the fire to offer sacrifices to the mountain and witnessed the birth of the pond god. He has understood many things in his heart.

The practice of guarding his own village and excluding outsiders is actually a lie.

It is impossible to trace where this lie came from, but this custom will prevent the birth of a true god in the pond.

His heart became complicated for a moment, and he hurriedly helped the skeleton in Hu Ma's hand, led it into the house, and helped burn incense to comfort the soul.

Then he looked at Hu Ma and said, "Is it buried in the village, or..."

Now that the people of the Hu family want to bury in the pond, no one will stop them, but think it is natural, but the second master has long seen that Hu Ma is now very capable and his identity is probably extraordinary. His biological father may have a better place...

"Then in the village."

Hu Ma nodded when asked, and said, "Where the gods are born, they bless all the people. Is there any better place than here?"

My mother-in-law was also buried in this pond. Although her soul has gone, her remains have merged with the ashes in the pond. It is also very appropriate for her biological father to be buried here.

Hu Ma even thought that when he went to Shangjing, he might be able to bring his mother-in-law's tablet back to the village.

The ancestral temple in Shangjing was built by the Daluo Fajiao, and he didn't feel at ease letting his mother-in-law stay there.

"Huh?"

The second master agreed and was about to prepare, but Hu Ma noticed the three incense sticks.

During the time they were talking, the three incense sticks had burned from left to right, from high to low, and the difference in height became more and more obvious. Hu Ma had learned the incense-viewing technique in the Zhensui book, so he couldn't help but frowned. This was an incense appearance that he didn't approve of.

Now his biological father's soul died early, and after all, he died to suppress disasters, and the price was huge. I'm afraid he didn't even have the opportunity to enter the underworld, and his soul also disappeared.

It can be understood that there is only a skeleton left.

In the sect, it is said that the most miserable thing for a person is to have his soul scattered, which actually refers to this, but there are still some strange influences in the dark.

This kind of influence is something that people in the sect cannot understand. The influence in the dark should be related to the legendary cause and effect soul.

This kind of incense is the attitude of the deceased. He doesn't seem to want to be buried in this pond.

Of course, it may also be a coincidence.

"Your father, what is this, what do you want to say to you?"

The second master also noticed the incense, and his expression was a little surprised, but he didn't understand it very well, so he asked Hu Ma tentatively.

The incense is either not cared about, no one pays attention to how it burns, but in a blink of an eye, if you see it, you have to pay attention to it.

This glance may be destined in the dark, similar to the words delivered by the ancestors, if you don't hear it, you don't say it, but if you hear it, you have to consider what the reason is.

Hu Ma also frowned, and then whispered: "Maybe, I should send him back to the ancestral temple!"

I vaguely understood in my heart that the mother-in-law stayed in Dayang Village, one to protect herself, and the other because the mother-in-law recognized Dayang Village and was willing to stay here, and among the elders of the Hu family, only the mother-in-law stayed in Dayang Village the longest.

But this biological father would not show arrogance in front of the villagers of Dayang Village, and would try his best to save people.

But he was afraid that deep down, he still recognized the ancestral temple in the north and did not want to stay in Dayang Village.

"Then please help me prepare a set of longevity clothes and a set of shrouds to bury my father first, and I will carry the coffin back to the north!"

Hu Ma said slowly: "It just so happens that I also have to go to the north to burn incense for my mother-in-law."

The second master didn't quite understand why your mother-in-law was buried in the village, so he went to the north to burn incense, but he didn't ask about such privacy, so he agreed.

He went out at night and woke up several people in the village who knew carpentry work, and then helped the Hu family prepare all the wood, shrouds, and corresponding offerings, but at Hu Ma's request, he didn't say who it was for.

When Hu Shan left that year, he didn't alarm the village, and he didn't want to stay in the village, so there was no need to make trouble in the village.

The next day, Hu Ma, with the help of Er Ye, put his biological father's bones into the coffin, sealed the coffin, and offered sacrifices. The people in the village didn't know what was going on. Except for a few people who helped, no one asked others to come to worship, which made it seem deserted.

But Er Ye still remembered that Hu Ma's biological father was a good person when he was alive, and he always felt that it shouldn't be so deserted.

Seeing that Hu Ma had already lit incense, Miss Zhou Si next to him stretched her head to watch, so he waved to her and said, "Girl, you come and burn a stick of incense!"

"Well, logically speaking, it's appropriate for you to kowtow now according to the rules of the Hu family."

"But, after all, we haven't met your master yet, so let's save the trouble. Let's light some incense and make it more lively!"

"..."

"Ah?"

Miss Zhou Si knew that this was Hu Ma's father. She was a little surprised to hear what the Second Master said. She subconsciously wanted to ask Zhao Sanyi if this was in accordance with the rules. She found that Zhao Sanyi had left long ago. She was a little entangled and said, "This... This is not good, right?"

The Second Master said, "You are a grown woman, and you have come to our village. What's wrong with that?"

He handed over the incense.

Even Hu Ma was a little surprised. He felt that it was inappropriate for the Second Master to ask the Fourth Miss of the Zhou Family to burn incense for her biological father, and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

The Second Master glared at Hu Ma and said, "She is a grown-up girl, and she has come to our village. What's good about it?"

On the contrary, Miss Zhou Si, who was straightforward, saw that the Second Master had handed over the incense, and thought that this ghost master was a good man, and his father must not be an ordinary person. Apart from anything else, it was right to burn incense for others.

She came to burn incense openly, and although she did not kneel down and kowtow, she still bowed deeply, which was very polite.

After burning incense, burning paper, and sealing the coffin, it was parked in the car, and Hu Ma had to carry the coffin to the north.

After Hu Ma dealt with all these, he said to Miss Zhou Si, "Why don't you go back?"

Miss Zhou Si stayed for two more days, and slept in her mother-in-law's original house at night. She didn't need to be called for meals, and she came at the appointed time.

Even in the matter of appeasing Hu Ma's biological father, she was enthusiastic to help, and when preparing the wooden village, she could carry two pieces of wood that were as thick as a man's arms and weighed more than a thousand pounds. The second master was scared and thought that she must be a good hand at farming.

Now that Hu Ma finally had time to ask her, she bit her lip and said, "I can't leave. I haven't asked you to return the things yet!"

"The two hammers? Or the bottle master?"

Hu Ma looked at her and added, "The bottle has been chewed up and can't be given to you."

"But the two hammers, I didn't want you to have them in the first place, they are under the bed, take them back if you want them!"

"..."

"Who do you think I am?"

Hu Ma really didn't mean to embarrass Miss Zhou Si, but she looked a little unhappy when she heard it.

Folding his arms, he said, "We Zhou family members don't need others' pity."

"You beat me and took my weapon, so of course I have to beat you and take it back in an upright manner!"

"..."

Hu Ma frowned and said, "Then come on!"

"Do you want to fight or do you want to let go and fight?"

If you want to fight, you can do it in the village. If you want to fight, you have to go out and find a place. You can't do it in the village.

But facing Hu Ma's frankness, Miss Zhou Si was entangled. After all, she was a girl and was careful. She saw Hu Ma's calm expression these days, but she could always see his vague frustration under this calmness.

She didn't know about the national teacher, and she just thought that Hu Ma was worried about his father's death and was in a state of anxiety. How could she have the nerve to challenge him at this time?

...Besides, she couldn't beat him now.

Then he pouted and said, "No, I don't want to fight with you now."

Hu Ma was even more puzzled: "Then what do you want to do?"

Miss Zhou Si said confidently: "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Then think about it slowly!"

He wanted to find an excuse to return the two hammers to her, but she was a little confused.

Hu Ma was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he let her take a big bowl and follow the second master to eat. He had no appetite, so he went back to the house to pack up. After all, he didn't know what he would encounter this time, so he had to take everything he could use with him.

While he was picking up things in the house, Xiao Hongtang squatted on the beam and looked at him curiously.

It seemed that she could also sense the depression in Hu Ma's heart. She was much more obedient in the past two days and just followed him.

When Hu Ma turned around and saw her, he sighed in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Xiao Hongtang, do you miss your mother-in-law?"

Xiao Hongtang heard this and said happily, "Yes!"

"Then let's go see your mother-in-law!"

Hu Ma also smiled from the heart, and threw the various bits and pieces in his hands aside.

No need to clean up, the skills of the person who keeps watch on the New Year are all on him, what else is there to clean up.

Anyway, as long as he sees his mother-in-law, everything will be clear.
