Twilight Boundary

Chapter 497 Worship the stone horse and hang the red lantern

“I didn’t expect to get a lesson with this money. In addition to the exercises, I also made two big animals...”

Originally, Hu Ma wanted to hitch Ma Ye into the car. He taught two horses for one money and asked Bai Fan to take them back. But now Ma Ye was very dissatisfied with him and ignored him, so he had to drive away.

He walked out of Shima Town with a bang. Behind him, the seventh child of the Sun family, Master Hong, Bai Fanzi and others also stayed at the entrance of the town and watched him go away. Hu Ma could sense that the person looking at him in the town was not There are only so many people.

Thinking of the exchanges over the past few days, I smiled bitterly in my heart. There were many things I wanted to know, but there was no way I could answer the questions asked by the senior brother.

You ask what it means not to eat cows, what can we say?

Thinking that since the non-eating cow already had his own ideas, he had no choice but to go along with it. Who wouldn’t say something specious? But I never thought that when this senior brother heard this, he seemed to be deeply moved...

Very good, just keep this style, otherwise if you make it more advanced, I really don’t know how to give you an answer...

And outside of Shima Town, Hu Ma also breathed a long sigh of relief. Because the copper coffin was heavy, he did not swing his whip and allowed the two horses to slowly pull him forward. Looking at the people on the way, I looked at the several villages and farmland in the mountains carefully.

 On the contrary, I found that most of the houses were intact and inhabited, and it seemed that they had not been moved because of the Lantern Festival organized by Yiqian Church.

Think about it. In the past few days, General Yin and the officials in the main hall have been fighting each other, using evil magic and different methods, and they have been in chaos.

These ordinary people are very lucky to be able to preserve their wealth in such a chaos.

However, it was a little different from when I came here. I actually saw red lanterns hung up in several villages. The pages were bright and clearly had been newly pasted out.

And when passing by the entrance of a village, I saw a salesman with a bamboo pole on his back and a dozen red lanterns on it for sale. He was also teaching the urchins from the nearby village who were playing around him how to hold candy cubes. Coaxing them to sing songs:

 “Worship the stone horse, hang a red lantern, and pay a copper coin to the Yin soldiers.”

“Invite millions of Yin soldiers to take back money and food for the ancestors.”

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Hu Ma was shocked when he heard this. It had only been a few days, but he had already made up nursery rhymes like this?

This nursery rhyme sounds simple, but maybe it can kill people...

Taking advantage of the big car passing by, I took a closer look at the salesman. I saw that he had healthy legs and legs, and a smile on his face. He seemed to be paying no attention to Hu Ma, but after Hu Ma passed by, he suddenly turned his head. Come and smile at him.

Hu Ma suddenly had an idea in his mind. He couldn't tell. This seemed to be from the same sect. Maybe he was a disciple who didn't eat cows.

With their participation, it makes sense. The location of the disciples who do not eat cows, books hidden in the belly of fish, stone men in sand rivers, and foxes singing at night are all basic operations.

And this is also their attempt to expand the influence of the Lantern Festival as much as possible. However, they did not expect that the Red Lantern Empress would also occupy a position in it, and even rank higher than the Yiqian Cult?

Looking at these red lanterns hanging in the mountains, there is a strong tendency for mountain fires to spread. Although the name of the Red Lantern Lady is not clearly stated, what impact will it have? Even I can’t tell for sure…

“Anyway, the Red Lantern Empress built the temple, and it’s time to attract more believers, so it’s only right that I help her...”

　　　…”

 I simply didn’t think about it anymore and just drove the carriage straight to my blood mine.

“Master, my disciple, I just want you to say one thing…”

But when Hu Ma left Shima Town and rushed back to the Blood Food Mine, Lao Abacus, who had returned two days early, was also in his hut at the mine, killing a chicken, taking flowers and fruits, and putting them on the table. He went to the incense table and took out the flag that he usually kept in his crotch.

Hand it respectfully at the top, and then pray sincerely: "This guy is really capable of causing trouble. With our ideas and skills, we can't stop him..."

"Originally, I calculated that he had a heavy fate, so I followed him to earn some benefits. Who would have thought that his ability to cause trouble is so terrible, and he even hangs out with a monster who doesn't eat cows. I think the situation in his family is very difficult. I can turn it over..."

“Let’s not say anything else now. As per the old rules, if you nod twice, I will go back quickly, okay?”

　　　…”

While muttering for a long time, he shook the copper plates in his hand a few times and sprinkled them on the ground, but they were all reversed.

Not willing to give in, he picked it up again and sprinkled it three times, but never once.

 Lao Abacus's face changed, he held it up again, put on a smile, and prayed: "It's too tiring to nod twice, let's nod once, and the disciple will understand."

 Speaking, swish, swish, swish, and tossed it ten times in a row.

But ten times in a row, it turned out to be the opposite. Old Abacus became angry, suddenly jumped up, took down all the fat chickens on the incense table, and cursed: "Don't eat you, throw ten handfuls away" You don’t even nod, is this reasonable?”

“According to what those evil spirits said back then, this is not in line with probability theory at all. I provide you with good food and drink every day, but when it comes to things, you have to push me into a pit of fire?”

The Patriarch ignored him, but a slight breeze blew, and the flag seemed to waver.

Lao Abacus was so frightened that he fell down and started crying: "If I don't cheat my disciples like you, how could I be wrong..."

  “…Received benefits from the Hu family down below?”

“…” The flag waved, but he still remained silent. Lao Baanpan suddenly thought of something: “Perhaps, in fact, you always think that this family still has a chance of winning?”

Hurryly grabbed the copper coin and tossed it a few more times, but he was dumbfounded.

　　 is still the opposite.

Just as he was sitting in the room, not knowing what to do, he heard a noise outside, but it was Hu Ma who came back. He also hurriedly collected the copper coins and put the plate of fat chicken in front of the ancestor to enjoy. Lift up your robe and go out.

“Put the coffin under the shade of a tree beside the valley, dig a hole and bury it. Surround it with jujube branches and put eye-catching red paper around it. Don’t let anyone bump into it after drinking too much.”

Hu Ma was arranging for people to drag the cart over there to unload the coffin, bury it in the soil, and invite it out when needed. He also asked people to tie the two big animals he earned into the stable and feed them, and then he carried the coffin. The baggage comes into the hall.

I happened to see the old abacus coming out, so I smiled, squinted my eyes and said, "Brother, you are not serious. We went to the town for a walk together. When something happened, you didn't wait for me and ran back early. "

After hearing this, the old abacus was even angrier than him, and said with a sad face: "You have the nerve to say that I am not real, but you are not!"

"You guys who watch the New Year's Eve run fast, but I don't run fast. That night was so dangerous. There were people worshiping lamps, demons who didn't eat cows, and officials from the hall who watched the New Year's Eve attack the town. I was so scared. I hid in the coffin all night and didn’t see you helping me!”

　　　…”

"…Fine!"

Huma wanted to use some words to push him away, but he didn't expect that he would be more reluctant.

On the surface, everyone seems to be doing the same thing, so no one can say anything about the other.

Just letting the artificial rice come to eat, he invited the old abacus into the hall, and even took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea. He said with a smile: "Actually, I was quite worried about this time. I saw you running away. I didn't expect that the old man would run away." Brother is still kind, stay and help me.”

 Lao Abacus was suddenly hit in a sore spot, and he tried to ask: "How about you pay my wages for this period of time, and I will find a young accountant for you?"

Although the Patriarch refused to let me leave, if someone insisted on forcing me to leave, then it would be reasonable and reasonable, wouldn't it?

"Need not."

After hearing this, Hu Ma immediately refused with a smile, and looked closer than before. She smiled and said: "It is said that if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. Although you are my old brother and a peer, you are also old, right?" ?”

"Actually, on the way back this time, I just wanted to discuss something with you. Do you understand the art of cultivating the human soul?"

　　　…”

"ask me?"

 Lao Abacus was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you learn a great skill from Yi Qian's teaching?"

 “I only know what it is, but I don’t know why it is so.”

Hu Ma said: "I did learn something. I can feel that my soul is strong and I have enough energy, but I don't understand the mystery. I can do it roughly, but it's a bit difficult to do it accurately."

“The way to keep the year old is like this, just pay attention to the time you are alive and don’t care about the things after death..."

 Lao Abacus was thoughtful, sighed lowly, and said slowly: "But the soul is much more complicated. What do you want to know?"

"I have a friend…"

Hu Ma looked into his eyes and had already thought about it all the way. Now she asked without any politeness: "Originally, the family still had some foundation, but the enemy forced him to do it and almost killed his only seedling. Later, It was saved."

“But the enemy was not so kind and let him go. It seemed that he was rescued, but his soul seemed to have been tampered with. Now he has discovered the problem and is confident of forcing this thing out..."

“But I still don’t quite understand how to get into this business. Brother, you are well-informed. Do you have any good ideas for me?”

　　　…”

After saying these words, he looked at the old abacus seriously, with a smile on his face, but he took out the knife from the bag, slowly admiring it while waiting for the old brother's answer.

This old guy hides his head and shows his tail, and he has some abilities that he can't be sure of, but the senior brother who doesn't eat cattle is very discerning. No one can hide the things in the town these days from him, and he is careful. Talked to myself.

We are all buddies in normal times, and things got over in a daze, but now the situation has been revealed, and if you still refuse to talk, then...

"this…"

 Seeing the seriousness of Hu Ma's question, Old Abacus panicked slightly. He really should have left early. The ancestor refused to let him go. Could it be that it was because of such a troublesome matter?

 There is a reason why I don’t want to get involved in this, but I am a person who keeps track of the year.

The old watchman holds a knife in his hand, is close at hand, and asks me for advice with a smile on his face. How can anyone be embarrassed to refuse?

"unacceptable!"

 Lao Abacus was filled with righteous indignation, slapped his thigh heavily, and said: "Your friend, he is in trouble..."

“God is fair, who can endure this?”
