Twilight Boundary

It is meaningless to become an immortal, but it is very meaningful to return home. This sentence does not seem to be the answer that the national teacher wants.

But for him, the answer is not important.

Knowing that Hu Ma was looking for him, he came here. He seemed to be very curious about what Hu Ma wanted to ask him. Hu Ma, who asked the word "return home", made him feel unexpectedly satisfied.

He was not in a hurry to answer, and his face looked a little cold and depressed: "Your Hu family has deceived me for twenty years, and my plan has completely failed."

"The Baiyujing plan was ruined."

"The Daluo Fajiao has also expelled me from the sect."

"You ruined my way to return home, and you should have been the only person I wanted to kill in the past twenty years, but you came to me to ask questions about returning home?"

He raised his head slightly and looked into Hu Ma's eyes: "Give me a reason why you think I will help you answer the question!"

Hearing this, the old abacus next to him couldn't help but worry.

When the National Master said this, the murderous aura in his eyes did not seem fake. The National Master had a lot of skills, but he rarely killed people.

He only killed people at critical moments.

But as long as he wanted to kill, there were few people in this world who could escape. Admittedly, Hu Ma might not be someone he could kill, but he was standing by. What if these two people took action and affected him...

Hu Ma, facing the National Master's questioning, was also slightly silent, and many answers seemed to flash through his mind.

Perhaps, he could blame the National Master for running away, saying that he owed the world and should answer his own questions?

Or that as the previous generation of the Daluo Fajiao chief priest, he had the responsibility to answer his own questions?

But in the end, Hu Ma thought of the Wuchang Li family and the old man who guarded the ancestral temple when he went to Beijing. They talked about the appearance of the national master, so he slowly looked up at the national master and said, "I will make you not be a joke in this life!"

When this answer came out, the old abacus next to him shrank his neck and wanted to run away immediately.

The more on the national master's face suddenly disappeared, and there seemed to be a cold and cold lightning in his somewhat depressed eyes.

A joke?

The man who once sent Du Yi to his death and buried the first generation of reincarnations ended up with only the word "joke"?

Perhaps at the level of the national master, any words can hardly shake his heart.

Only the word "joke" was like a tearing open face, exposing it under the scorching sun.

After Hu Ma said these two words, he was also prepared for the national master to take action in anger. He knew that these two words would definitely shake the national master's heart, but he didn't know what the final result would be.

Under his gaze, he saw that the national teacher's face was gloomy, and the clouds and mists in the mountains gathered and dispersed. But after a long time, he did not make any move, but laughed at himself.

Then he looked at Hu Ma coldly and whispered: "Come to Da Ai Mountain to find me!"

After saying this, a mist suddenly rose in the surroundings, and everything became hazy and misty.

The next moment, the national teacher had disappeared, and the place where he was was still just an ancient pine.

"Is it a person or a pine tree?"

Hu Ma frowned and stepped forward, gently touching the hard cracks on the pine tree, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Now that he has a deep practice, there are very few methods in the world that can deceive him and hurt him.

But seeing the national teacher's method of transforming into a pine tree, he still felt novel.

This means that there are still many methods in the world that he cannot see through, and it also represents countless unknowns.

The unknown is hope, which proves that his idea is not unworkable.

"Where is Da Ai Mountain?"

He stroked the ancient pine, pondered for a while, and turned back to ask Lao Suanpan.

"It is the mountain gate of our Daluo Fa Sect..."

Until this moment, Lao Suanpan dared to breathe carefully, and hurriedly said: "Before Du Yi, Daluo Fa Sect always had only one master, one disciple, and one incense burner, practicing outside the mountain gate, observing Tai Sui, and knowing the celestial phenomena."

"But after Du Yi came to rule the world, the ancestor went down the mountain, and Guan Shixiang was also brought to the world. The mountain gate of Da Ai Mountain was also abandoned. I didn't expect the national teacher to return there..."

After a pause, he pondered and said: "But in theory, it should still belong to the Daluo Fa Sect. All the dynasties who knew about the existence of the Daluo Fa Sect, including the first emperor of Du Yi, gave it to the Daluo Fa Sect. "The chief priest."

"So that place is actually your territory. It's a bit wrong that the national master went back there..."

"..."

Hu Ma nodded and said, "Then go there!"

Lao Suanpan was a little worried: "Grab the territory?"

Hu Ma nodded and said, "Not only grab the territory, but also go and see everything that is needed. Since you are going to be the chief priest, at least settle the accounts."

Since Hu Ma has decided to go, Lao Suanpan did not dare to stop him. He actually didn't understand what Hu Ma was going to do, and subconsciously felt that Hu Ma was a little arrogant to leave such a big thing to those people...

After all, those people are outsiders.

But seeing that Hu Ma suddenly became interested in the affairs of Daluo Fajiao, he didn't think it was a bad thing. No matter what the situation, settling the accounts is what should be done.

The preparation method is very simple. Except for Hu Ma, the disciples of Daluo Fajiao all carry the tablets of their ancestors.

In front of Hu Ma, he kowtowed several times to the tablet of the ancestor and lit a stick of incense.

Mumbling something, after a while, he got up, pulled up the incense stick in his hand, and said to Hu Ma: "We are ready, let's go!"

Hu Ma nodded, but then he remembered something, and he also took out a stick of incense from his sleeve and blew it out in one breath. He watched the smoke drift away, and soon a red shadow flashed, and it was Xiao Hongtang who came out from the woods next to him and hugged Hu Ma's arm.

Since he went to Beijing to see his mother-in-law, Hu Ma had something to do, so he asked Xiao Hongtang to stay in the ancestral temple to accompany her.

Now that he had other things to do, he called Xiao Hongtang over.

"Xiao Hongtang, remember you once said that you came out of a big black house?"

Hu Ma looked at her, and saw that Xiao Hongtang had stayed in the ancestral temple with her mother-in-law for a while, and she looked a little fat.

The incense of the ancestral temple is now received by the Hu family. The incense there is different, and Xiao Hongtang has also benefited greatly from it.

Fortunately, she was called back, otherwise she would have become a fat girl.

"Yes..."

Xiao Hongtang nodded vigorously: "There are still many people there, so fierce!"

"It was my grandmother who picked up Xiao Hongtang. My grandmother is different from those people. My grandmother is a good grandmother."

"..."

Hu Ma smiled and nodded, saying: "Then, if Xiao Hongtang is asked to go back again, would you dare?"

"No!"

Xiao Hongtang is usually very obedient, whether it is delivering letters, fighting, stealing, or carrying blood food, she never says a word.

But now, after hearing this, her face changed, and she showed a panicked look. She hugged Hu Ma's arm tightly: "Brother Hu Ma, don't go either."

"Don't worry."

Hu Ma touched Xiao Hongtang's head and smiled: "Now I am very capable, I am not afraid of them."

Then he said to Lao Suanpan: "Let's go to Dayi Mountain first."

Lao Suanpan's eyes also retracted from Xiao Hongtang. It was not the first time he had seen this little ghost servant, but the strange thing was that the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this little ghost servant looked different from others.

In particular, he looked at the direction where the incense stick that Hu Ma burned was drifting, which seemed to be the location of Shangjing, but the incense in Shangjing was not something that ordinary little ghost servants could enjoy.

This girl, she is actually fat?

At this time, the experience of the rivers and lakes came in handy. If you don't understand, don't ask.

Just shrinking his head, nodding hurriedly, and then walking in the direction of the smoke from the incense stick in his hand.

Hu Ma followed behind and saw the magic of the incense in front of the ancestor. It looked like a light fragrance, but it changed direction with the wind.

The old abacus went wherever the incense went. Inexplicably, his figure flashed left and right like the incense, and gradually became a little hazy.

I actually needed to concentrate to keep up with him, and gradually ignored the scenery beside me.

I vaguely felt that I should have walked for only one incense stick.

When the incense in the old abacus's hand was about to burn out, he saw the old abacus stop, and the last wisp of fragrance floated to a mountain in front. Hu Ma, who was sitting with Xiao Hongtang on his shoulder, also stopped in front of the mountain.

I suddenly saw that I had arrived in front of an unfamiliar mountain, with dense pines and cypresses, strange rocks and stones.

Looking around, there are also mountains and valleys, as if this mountain is lonely and clear, independent of this world.

"Is this Da Ai Mountain?"

Hu Ma looked at it for a long time and spoke softly, but in this dead place, the voice seemed very clear.

Lao Suanpan quickly shrank his head and whispered: "I guess so."

"This mountain is not on the map, only the incense stick in front of the ancestor's tablet can be used to point the way."

"I also know this method, but it's my first time here."

"..."

"Then follow me."

Hu Ma took Xiao Hongtang off his left shoulder and held her hand.

Xiao Hongtang has always been very vigilant, but she was relieved when she saw that she was not going to the big black house in her memory.

Following Hu Ma, she slowly walked up the mossy stone path at the foot of the mountain, and slowly walked up the mountain. The mountain was quiet and there was no sound of birds singing.

I thought I was going to go up the mountain directly, but unexpectedly, I saw a row of dilapidated stone houses and a stone slope covered with weeds when I reached the mountainside. Hu Ma stopped and saw that on the stone slope, the national teacher was facing away from him and kowtowing to the incense table.

With his Taoism, I am afraid that when Hu Ma was still at the foot of the mountain, he knew that Hu Ma had come.

But now he was very respectful, kowtowing to the incense table in front of him, and his movements were meticulous.

And this extremely simple and common scene among the people made Hu Ma feel a little surprised. The national teacher used to be the chief priest of the Daluo Fa Sect. Even now, he is the most capable person in the world, and it can even be said that there is no one else.

The ghosts and gods worshipped by the common people are just like a wisp of cold wind to him, which will disperse as soon as it touches. Even the demons and ghosts are just things that he can calculate and use.

But now, he has burned ten incense sticks and kowtowing. What is he worshipping?

What is worthy of such respect from people like him?

Although he was puzzled, he still followed the rules. When he burned incense, he did not speak a word, but just waited quietly at the edge of the slope.

After the ten incense sticks were burned, the national teacher slowly turned around and walked towards Hu Ma. He glanced at Xiao Hongtang who was following Hu Ma, and then walked away first.

The two of them walked along the stone steps for a while without saying a word. The national teacher suddenly said to Hu Ma: "Do you find it strange?"

Hu Ma nodded and said frankly: "When you went to the capital, you only burned one incense stick, and when you left, you left that incense stick to me."

"The origin of the Daluo Fajiao is to burn only one incense stick, which is the incense stick of Guanshi."

The national teacher said frankly, "But I no longer belong to the Daluo Fajiao, so there are naturally more things that I fear."

Hu Ma frowned slightly, turned to look at the national teacher, and said: "Is there anything in this world that makes you fear?"

"There are many."

The national teacher slowly spoke, saying: "Only the ignorant are fearless. I know much more than you."

"Do you feel like you are scolding me?"

I always get angry when I am scolded, but because I won the battle in Beijing, Hu Ma's mind is open and he doesn't mind. He just follows the national teacher and says with a smile: "Since I am here, you should tell me."

"I have a lot of questions to ask, and only you can answer them."

"Why are there three realms in the Daluo Fa, namely, observing the world, entering the world, and God ? "

"Why was the method created by the Great Sage Master originally named Dawei Shigong, but later changed to Tiangong General? "

"What does the word Tiangong mean?"

"..."

The National Master listened, but did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he suddenly looked at Hu Ma and said, "You should answer me first, why are you asking now?"

"As early as when you went to the capital, you were the chief priest of the Daluo Fajiao. At that time, you didn't even care. "

"..."

"Because it was unnecessary. "

Hu Ma said frankly: "When I saw this road to the Luotian Grand Festival, I knew that the ten surnames of the method would Disappear, I have ten incense sticks, and the ability to carry the twelve ghost altars and things of equal level, which is enough. "

"I only need to collect the five towns of seal, stone, book, fruit, and order, and change the world, which is enough to drive away Tai Sui. The others are all burdens. "

"The Hu family's path is destined to destroy the law, and I can't be a person who steals the law. "

"But now..."

He paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "I have a reason. "

The national teacher could sense the honesty in Hu Ma's words, but did not answer directly, but looked down.

Seeing Xiao Hongtang beside Hu Ma, he whispered: "I think your Hu family already knows a lot of things."

"Otherwise, why would this little ghost stay in the Hu family?"

"..."

"My mother-in-law left it to me."

Hu Ma exhaled softly, touched Xiao Hongtang's head, and said: "When I went to Beijing, I also asked her about Xiao Hongtang's origin. My mother-in-law told me, but when she said it, I heard that my mother-in-law didn't know Xiao Hongtang's true origin."

"To her, Xiao Hongtang is just a little ghost she picked up in Beijing."

Hu Ma looked down and saw that Xiao Hongtang was curiously looking around and was not listening to him. He was relieved, but Still lowering her voice, using the ability of ghost whispering, she said to the national teacher:

"My biological mother left Lao Yinshan at that time, so I wanted to go to Shangjing to persuade her, but my mother was determined, so I didn't say it."

"It was during that trip back to Shangjing that I saw Xiao Hongtang. Her soul root was broken at that time, and she couldn't enter the underworld. She looked like she had been refined by someone, but she would not dissipate like an ordinary ghost. She was holding her own horoscope book in her arms, which meant that she had no master to rely on..."

"Seeing the many scars on her body, I knew she had suffered a lot."

"Because the Hu family had lost power at that time, many families in Shangjing City had the ability to refine this little Hongtang. There are probably many ghosts."

"Although the grandmother was angry about such a heinous act, she was unable to find the person, so she had to take her back to Laoyin Mountain and feed her with blood. She gradually recovered. Of course, this little girl also developed a small problem of greed..."

"... This is actually not a problem. I think I can always support her without any other skills."

"..."

After saying this, Hu Ma said: "However, it was me who discovered many abnormalities in Xiao Hongtang afterwards."

"The grandmother treated her too well at that time, so she didn't need her to help fight, let alone steal things."

"Many skills, but Didn't find it. "

"..."

"Maybe she just found it, but didn't tell you."

The national teacher listened to Hu Ma's story and slowly said, "The Bai family's grandmother is also a very capable person, but she is too kind-hearted, so she is destined not to walk too far on the bridge."

"If you say she doesn't know the true details of this little ghost servant, I believe it, but you say she didn't find the difference in this little ghost servant, but it's impossible. I think she must have found it, but she just doesn't want to tell you."

"Because..."

He turned his head and looked at Hu Ma, saying, "She doesn't want you to mess with those people in the Hades Palace."

"Hades Palace..."

Hu Ma's expression was slightly condensed when he heard these two words.

Even this dead and silent Da Ai Mountain suddenly blew a cold wind because of these two words.

The cold penetrated the clothes and went straight to the spine.

Xiao Hongtang felt a little scared for some reason and moved closer to Hu Ma.

"Do you know that Lao Junmei and Mr. Longjing must kill all the Duyi royal family in the past, leaving no one alive?"

The Imperial Master slowly asked an unexpected question.

Hu Ma was also slightly startled and said: "Isn't it to cut off the fate of Du Yi and prevent Tai Sui from continuing to invade the human world?"

"That's just one of the reasons."

The Imperial Master said slowly: "Besides, if it was just for this matter, there is no need to bear such a big sin."

"The real reason is because of the Hades Palace..."

When he said these words, there was even a little ridicule on his face: "Duyi has ruled the world for two hundred years, and there have been eleven emperors."

"They include the founding emperor who first held a sacrifice to invite Tai Sui to strengthen his fierce soldiers, and the second emperor who asked me, Da Luo, to teach us about the Wentian Festival and ask about Tai Sui's origin. They are the ten people who have the deepest connection with Tai Sui. A person is also the person with the highest status.”

"Except for the first two emperors, most of the Duyi emperors died early, but as a royal family, even after death, they are different from ordinary people. They enjoy the world's great sacrifices and are honored as Tai Sui guests."

"Have you never thought about whether they are dead or where they are?"

"..."

This sentence suddenly gave Huma countless thoughts.

The Duyi Dynasty was cut off by Lao Junmei and Mr. Longjing, and the 170,000 royal family members became ghosts and ghosts, but there was indeed something strange about it.

The royal family in the Yang world have all been cursed to death, and the underworld has been divided among ten surnames twenty years ago. However, no one has ever mentioned the previous emperors of Du Yi. Could it be that they really disappeared as soon as they died, leaving no traces?

At this moment, the Imperial Master slowly revealed the answer: "They are all in the Hall of Hades."

"Back then, not only did the emperor have to be skinned, but 170,000 named royals were also cursed to death. It was because these descendants of the royal family were the beings in the Hades Palace and the bridge into the human world."

"Lao Junmei and Longjing were very clever. They directly broke their bridges and turned them into rootless water. They were like wandering gods who had no incense and no one remembered them. They could only slowly dissipate."

"This is a very clever and very vicious method. It can cut off the foundation of the Hades Palace in one fell swoop and kill the enemy invisibly."

"But in the final analysis, there is no other way. Lao Junmei and the other reincarnations of this generation chose this strategy precisely because they were not sure about dealing with the Hades Palace."

"It's just that their plan succeeded, but the existence in the Hades Palace may not die voluntarily..."

"And if my eyesight is not bad..."

"..."

He lowered his head again, looked at Xiao Hongtang, and said in a low voice: "This little angel came from the Hades Palace."

Hearing this, Hu Ma didn't feel much surprise, but she stopped, looked at the Imperial Master seriously, and said, "What's the relationship between this and the question I asked you?"

"When you ask me about returning home, you have to mention Lao Junmei."

The Imperial Master also stopped, looked at Hu Ma, and said slowly: "I have always thought that Lao Junmei and the others were very smart and used the most correct method to deal with the people in the Hades Palace. Now, we just need to continue to forget the Hades Palace. , they will never be a threat.”

"But after all, they are on that road."

He spoke slowly: "If you ask me about the way to return home, I can only say that there is indeed it, and it is indeed right behind you, but this road is not understood by Da Luo Dharma or reincarnated people. of."

"The late Emperor Duyi is walking on such a path. If you want to go further, you need to meet them."

"Although they have been out of touch for twenty years, I think they are not dead yet, and are even thinking of ways to return to the human world."

"In this world, your fate is rare."

"But each of these eleven people has a fate that is more important than yours. There are also all kinds of bizarre signs of being blessed with incense and having a mysterious connection with Tai Sui."

Having said this, his expression became a little fierce, even sarcastic: "If I tell you that what you want to know is related to these existences, will you continue to ask me how to take this road? ?”
