Twilight Boundary

Drums, gongs, locks, green flags and white paper were delivered in front of the ancestral temple.

At this moment, Hu Ma couldn't help but look up, and was startled when he saw it in his eyes.

He had heard the name of the ancestral temple countless times, but it was only now that he finally knew the appearance of the legendary foundation of the ten surnames.

The only thing I could see here was that it was clearly the north of Shangjing. The terrain was opposite to the imperial city, and it vaguely formed a yin and yang trend. There were only dense pines and cypresses in all directions, and the terrain was gentle.

Even the stones here seem to be round and smooth if you choose any one, and rarely have such sharp and ferocious shapes. And in the large open space in front, there are ten ancestral halls standing together.

The ten ancestral halls are all very tall. In theory, the ten ancestral halls here only took about 20 years to build, but now they look like they all have a sense of simplicity and elegance. It seems that even the sun cannot set.

It was also here that Hu Ma suddenly realized.

The ghostly aura that is always present in the capital city actually comes from these ten ancestral temples?

At this moment, he even instinctively felt a warning sign, but at this moment, he felt a little warmth from the endless forest.

He suddenly realized where the warmth came from, and his heart suddenly softened.

He raised the white flag and stepped forward slowly. With his peripheral vision, he scanned the surrounding ancestral halls and saw that each of them only had the door of the ancestral hall half-closed. Several tablets could be vaguely seen inside, but only one of them was the same as the Hu family's. The door next to it is now closed.

I knew in my heart that this must belong to the Meng family.

In front of the ancestral hall, there was already a rickety old man waiting here. He said nothing, as if he was looking at Hu Ma carefully.

When Hu Ma arrived, he took the banner from Hu Ma's hand and handed a bunch of incense into his hand.

Holding the bunch of incense high above his head, Hu Ma came to the ancestral hall and slowly knelt down. His voice seemed to have exerted enough strength and he said loudly:

"Mother-in-law, I brought my father back..."

"..."

For some reason, when I said such a sentence, I actually felt sour in my heart and my voice was choked with sobs.

At this same moment, the wind blew through the forest, making a rustling sound, but it was gentle when it came to me.

The incense held in Hu Ma's hand brushed against his face.

The old man who was guarding the ancestral hall next to him raised his eyes and looked forward. He saw that ordinary people were not qualified to come to the ancestral hall of the ten surnames, and had long been blocked outside the mountain.

But the Hu family of Qingyuan, the Ren family, the Bai family of Shangjing, and some other people in the sect or with official status were still watching from a distance, not to mention the gang of people carrying them. The coffin bearer.

Hearing the urging of an old man, he felt helpless, shook his head slightly, took a few steps slowly, and nodded.

"Woo!"

Deep in the earth, there seemed to be something huge surging, making a thunderous roar. At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. Hu Ma felt that the world seemed to be moving away from him, and the realm of Yin and Yang was also disappearing. It became blurry at this time.

"Mother-in-law..."

Hu Ma heard the happy cries of the Little Red Tang bird, and felt a cold wind blowing past her.

His body tensed slightly, and after kowtowing four times, he slowly stood up and saw his mother-in-law.

"Good grandson..."

She looked just like when she left Huma, with a wrinkled face and a kind expression.

But in fact, my mother-in-law is not a very expressive person. Her usual appearance is a bit weird and scary in the eyes of others.

But in Hu Ma's eyes, there was only her mother-in-law who was worried about her. In this look, she felt her love and felt that there was no one else in the world who cared more about her than her.

"Back, back..."

The mother-in-law looked at Hu Ma happily, then raised her head, looked at the coffin, and sighed softly. In her eyes, you could see endless sadness, but when she spoke, she was cursing: "Screw the seed, back then." He left without saying a word, and now he is back..."

"...But when I came back, I couldn't even say a word to me."

"..."

Hu Ma's heart trembled as she listened to her mother-in-law's scolding. She could not describe the sadness in her heart.

My mother-in-law is a ghost walker, and her specialty is talking to the dead. She has dealt with many dead people in her life, but her own son is the only one who can't say this.

"Mother-in-law..."

He endured the emotions surging in his heart and said, "I came too late."

"I am too slow to learn skills, too slow to seek revenge, too slow to understand things..."

"..."

"Not slow, not slow..."

Listening to what he said, the mother-in-law's voice seemed to be a little trembling. With one hand, she held Xiao Hongtang, who was nestling next to her, and the other hand stretched out tremblingly.

A breeze gently caressed Hu Ma's hair, and when she spoke, she seemed to be a little incoherent: "Mother-in-law, I thought many times that I couldn't wait for you, but you are more up to date than I thought. "

"You have learned a great skill. You single-handedly defeated the Meng family and created such a bad temper for our Hu family..."

"But me, but I can't be happy either..."

"My hard-working grandson, you have learned such a great skill, and they have to put this burden on your shoulders..."

"..."

"I……"

Hu Ma's heart trembled slightly, and when he looked up, he saw the endless sadness in his grandmother's eyes: "Sensible children are the most hardworking."

"In fact, I, I once hoped that you would continue to be so willful, and you don't need to be as obedient as others, and not too sensible. The Hu family has never escaped debts or laziness. Even if there is such a willful grandson, can't we protect him?"

"At that time, I would rather stay with you, and we will spend our lives in the village together..."

"..."

The fragments of the time in the village suddenly flashed through his mind.

Hu Ma thought of the way his grandmother always stared at him, and the worry in her eyes that he couldn't understand at the time, and the repression of hiding everything in his heart.

This emotion drilled in his heart like a snake, making him sad.

So he could only laugh, and said to his mother-in-law with a smile: "But that's too boring."

"Mother-in-law, I came back to Beijing this time on my own initiative."

"I also know that there are many things waiting for me, but I am a member of the Hu family, and I should naturally take on the responsibilities that should be taken."

"It's not for others, but I think it's boring to have someone else have the final say in such a situation. It's fair to have someone like me come in."

"..."

Mother-in-law actually saw a confident and proud look on Hu Ma's face, as if it was a tacit understanding between the elders and the younger generations. When they meet, not everyone likes to cry and hug their heads.

More often, they will subconsciously hide some sad things and show their good side. Mother-in-law understands, and she also appreciates it. She looks at Hu Ma at this time and the smile on his face.

She sighed softly: "They look exactly like you..."

"They look the same as your dead grandfather and your father. It feels like there is no one else in the world except you Hu people."

"It's just..."

She had decided not to be sad, but she was still a little sad as she spoke, and she couldn't help wiping away tears: "They, at least had a few days of happiness..."

"I also had happiness, when I was in the village."

Hu Ma smiled and said: "I can eat blood food that others can't eat."

"Other people's lives are determined by God, only I, after I die, my relatives can take my life back."

"I can learn great skills, see To enjoy the glory of the world, to enjoy the reputation that others respect..."

"If this is not a blessing, then what is it?"

"..."

His words were very sincere, but when the mother-in-law heard it, she couldn't help but feel sad, and tears seemed to fall on her face: "But you, you are the most miserable child in the world, you have been calculated before you were born..."

"Then even if they are unlucky, why did they have to mess with our Hu family when they can mess with anyone else?"

Hu Ma raised his head, his palm turned dead, and slowly stretched it out. After the palm turned dead, it became dull and cold, but at this time, he felt like he was touching the palm of his mother-in-law.

Holding grandma's hand gently, he looked at her seriously and said, "But what I want to ask is also these. Grandma, what was the real purpose of my family doing this?"

"Do the Hu family also want to become immortals?"

"..."

"Become immortals?"

Grandma leaned down slowly, with complicated emotions on her face: "Grandma has also heard them mention this, but such people..."

"I think we should break their legs, so that they don't have to dream big anymore..."

"..."

"..."

"The children and grandchildren of the Hu family seem to have a lot to say to their ancestors when they come back this time..."

At the same time, the entire ancestral temple seemed to become foggy, and almost, the people carrying the coffin were submerged in the fog, as if they had lost consciousness.

Dizzy, as if in a dream, and some powerful people, knowing what was going on, couldn't resist, so they simply withdrew and stood a hundred feet away, looking at the vague figure in front of the ancestral temple.

The coffin had already been put into the pond before it reached the ancestral temple. Even if they had to worship their ancestors first and then bury their father, it wouldn't take so long.

There was no doubt that they were talking about something.

Just thinking of the bad temper of the Bai family's grandmother, the nobles who were watching the ceremony from afar also looked at each other, and vaguely asked questions.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he comes back."

Someone sighed softly, and when he looked up, he showed a little sarcasm: "After all, he is also a person of the Ten Surnames."

"Born in the mountains, he can't see the world, so his temperament is a little different from ours, yes."

"But as long as he is a person of the Ten Surnames, as long as he sees the true identity of the Hu family, then sooner or later, he will go the same way as us..."

"Hehe, the Bai family grandmother, although she married into the Hu family and became the only elder of the Hu family now, she is surnamed Bai after all, and there is always some pedantry in her bones that can't keep up..."

"She is destined to be a sad person."
