Twilight Boundary

What can Hu Ma say? Of course I have no objection.

This meal was quite enjoyable. The owner was willing to spend money. The banquet was very rich, including chicken, duck, and fish.

After everyone had had enough food and wine, they each counted two hundred taels of silver and took them with them. The heavy bag made everyone feel very at ease and safe.

And this Young Master Lu said: "Tonight, if you have nothing to do, please go back and rest. Since you have agreed to help me, all your expenses in Wutong Town will be put on my account." .”

"You can take the money back and deal with it yourself. However, the big bank has to go to the city seventy miles away. It's better not to leave the town. There is an escort agency."

"You can take it home in advance if you want."

"..."

Everyone nodded and had their own plans, so Master Lu didn't need to worry.

To put it bluntly, the escort agency draws 10 out of 100, and someone takes 20 taels at once, which actually makes me feel sad.

Besides, for those who are close to the road, they can send two people there, but for those who are far away, the carriage and horses are tired, and the escort agency may not like the 200 taels of silver.

As for Hu Ma, who had already been assigned something to do, he waited for the others to leave, then sat down with the old monkey and talked some more, and agreed on a time and place to meet in the evening, and then he took the two hundred taels with him. The silver returned to the inn and was thrown directly on the table.

He silently thought about the plan he had made with Sweet Potato Sauce and compared them one by one with Mr. Lu.

Although this sweet potato roaster knows everything about it and has the white wine lady as a guarantor, you still have to be careful.

Wait patiently until the time is almost up before coming out.

He still brought his bamboo hat and raincoat, and when he passed the counter, he threw a tael of silver in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was startled for a moment, then remembered what Hu Ma had said to him in the morning, he forced a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Get rich."

After Hu Ma left, she looked at his back, sighed softly, and swept a tael of silver into the drawer.

He shook his head secretly and whispered: "I'm afraid it's another one who won't come back."

When we arrived at the entrance of the appointed town, we saw that the old man was already waiting. He was smiling, the monkey was squatting on his shoulder, and he was holding a white lantern with a strange shape in his hand.

But now that night had fallen, he didn't light it up.

Hu Ma raised his head and glanced at the dark sky, and said with a smile: "It seems that he is taking advantage of the night to do something. Why don't you light the lantern?"

"This is not for illuminating the child."

Mr. Monkey smiled and said: "Besides, you are a master who can fight drought demons at night, why are you afraid of walking at night?"

Hu Ma smiled and said, "I'm used to following the rules."

As he spoke, the old monkey walked away, left the town, and walked forward in the dark. The two of them chatted quietly on the way. Hu Ma asked the old monkey about some sects, inheritance, and the like, just support. No, he didn't seem to want to answer.

In fact, he had made up all the fake ones, but he didn't say anything after he had made them up. He only waited for a certain moment to reveal a sentence or two pretending to be casual.

Suddenly, when someone asks, he tells everything. Then others will see at a glance that what he said is false.

In the eyes of this old monkey, Hu Ma actually found out nothing except his name and the fact that he was a New Year's Watcher.

Moreover, he had seen and recognized his sect before, and his name was only found out when they last met, which meant that Hu Ma had not leaked anything.

But he didn't mind. He and Hu Ma were joking and walking further and further into the wilderness.

After almost half an hour, the two of them stopped. Hu Ma looked up and saw several dark houses in front of them. It turned out that they were in front of a village.

He raised his feet to go in, but the old monkey held him back and said with a smile: "Wait a little longer, it's still early."

Seeing that he was already sitting on the ground outside the village, Hu Ma could only squat down after him.

The two of them were still talking, watching the time getting later and later, and there was silence everywhere.

Hu Ma suddenly noticed something.

I am a person who watches the New Year, and I have ways to ward off evil spirits, but why doesn’t Mr. Monkey attract evil spirits?

The two of them walked at night and spent such a long time, but they never encountered any evil spirits.

"Let's go!"

Just as he was thinking about whether to ask, Mr. Monkey no longer knew how to count the time, so he stood up and patted the dirt on his butt.

Hu Ma had no choice but to follow him. As soon as the two of them arrived at the edge of the village, they heard a burst of barking from inside, which was quite frequent. The dogs raised in the village were extremely vigilant. Although their steps were light, they were already alarmed. A guard dog.

"It's so annoying..."

The monkey frowned, then turned to the monkey on his shoulder and said, "Go!"

The monkey squeaked, jumped off his shoulder, jumped and climbed, and rushed into the village. In the night, not even its shadow could be seen.

The dog that was barking just now became even more crazy. He howled and barked for a while. Several family members were awakened. They lit oil lamps and went out to see. When they saw nothing, they kicked the dog firmly. After a few feet, I went back to the room and continued to sleep.

But as soon as the dog calmed down, the monkey started crawling around in the village again, causing the dog to bark and get kicked a few more times.

This happened several times before the monkey man smiled lowly and said, "Okay."

He took out a small purse from his arms. The monkey scurried back to his back in the shadow, and he opened the purse. There were actually red beans inside.

He let the monkey take it and returned to the village. After a while, there were several dog whimpers, but no one paid attention.

After waiting for a while, the monkey master took out the fire folder and lit the white lantern.

But I don’t know how this lantern was made. When it was lit at night, it couldn’t illuminate at all. I could only see a bit of white light, which couldn’t illuminate the road in front of me. The monkey man took it in his hand and didn’t explain to Hu Ma. Then he took care of himself and slowly entered the village.

He first came to a courtyard with a door panel and looked carefully. The door of the courtyard was marked with a mark.

Holding a lantern, holding it up and down.

The dim light wavered, like holding a white soul-calling flag in the middle of the night. He walked towards the yard, his voice was faint, and he called softly: "The sky is dark and the ghosts on the ground are calling flags. Master Wu Chang is coming to the door..."

"Zhang Daquan, Zhang Daquan, I'm here to pick you up for dinner..."

"..."

The sound was so low that it was almost inaudible in the night wind, and there were no longer any dogs barking in the village.

Hu Ma was upset by his strange behavior. She stared with her eyes wide open. She only heard him shout three times. The temperature around her dropped, and it was actually quite cold. Suddenly, she heard a flapping sound from the white lantern in his hand. sounded.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that there was an extra moth inside the lantern. I don’t know when it flew in. It darted left and right, and from time to time, panicked shadows were reflected on the wall of the lantern.

"Succeeded."

Mr. Monkey glanced at the lantern with satisfaction and lowered his voice: "Let's go!"

Not long after, I came to a yard that was only fenced. I looked at the sign again and called into the yard:

"The sky is dark and the ghosts on the ground are calling flags, Master Wu Chang comes to the door..."

"Mrs. Niu Zhang, Mrs. Niu Zhang, your mother is calling you to take you to see Rouge..."

"..."

Just like before, after calling three times, another moth appeared inside the lantern, making a flapping sound.

Hu Ma followed the monkey master and felt a gust of wind, something indescribably weird. When he saw the moth enter the lantern, his scalp was numb with shock. When he got a little further away from this house, I couldn't help but ask:

"Old sir, what are you doing? Why do I look so scared?"

"..."

"hey-hey……"

The Monkey Lord laughed in a low voice: "You have your own abilities, and we have our own methods."

"This little brother has never seen this unique skill of calling souls before, right?"

"..."

"Sure enough, it's called the soul..."

Hu Ma's heart tightened and she whispered: "How do you know the names of these people?"

"Haha, Kung Fu is somewhere you can't see."

Mr. Monkey laughed softly and said: "I have been here during the day and performed a good monkey show for them. I talked to them, told their fortunes, and interpreted their dreams."

"I know that Zhang Daquan had a meal with his father once when he was a child. It will be unforgettable in his life. I also know that the only time this Niu Zhang went to the city to buy rouge was with her mother. When I shouted like this again at night, they didn't Just come out?"

"..."

Hu Ma thought carefully, shuddered, and said, "Then what will happen to these people if their souls are called?"

"It's not that great. I'll just be confused for a few days at most."

Monkey Master said: "Don't worry, little brother, it won't kill you anyway, it will grow back over time."

"Grow your ass back!"

In her heart, Hu Ma didn't believe what he said at all.

Although I don’t understand the soul torture method, if the soul is called out, can it grow back like flesh?

Although he doesn't quite understand this world, there has always been a saying of three souls and seven souls in his previous life. No matter which soul or soul is missing, this person is no longer a complete person.

But you are here talking nonsense to me, saying that human souls can actually grow back?

"This is the best thing in the world..."

And when Hu Ma thought about it more and more, the old monkey looked at the two moths fluttering in the lantern, and he became more and more proud and said: "When people talk about good things, they only know about Master Tai Sui, but they don't know that there is another one more. Okay, that’s people.”

"Even in our eyes, this man is better than Mr. Tai Sui. To cut Tai Sui, you have to fight with others, fight, luck, and practice. If you don't do it well, you will lose your life."

"But there are people everywhere. Everyone has flesh, soul and life. I don't know how many methods can be used."

"..."

Listening to him whispering to himself in this night, Hu Ma felt cold all over.

Evil cultivation, evil cultivation!

When the monkey master met him for the first time, although he was wary, he could not say he had any bad feelings. But now, after seeing what he did and listening to his words, he had a vague idea of ​​killing someone in his heart.

But when he thought of the reminder of sweet potato burning, he could only hold back and glanced quietly into the night.

He guessed right. It seemed that only he and the old monkey came out, but they were not far away. At the other end of a dirt road, there were two men with yellow paper on their faces, standing quietly. There.

Hu Ma and the old monkey were separated by the darkness of the night and could not see them, but they seemed to be able to see Hu Ma and had been observing silently.
