Twilight Boundary

"rare?"

Hu Ma felt that her reaction seemed a bit strange, but when she agreed, she was still pleasantly surprised, but she could not care about these details.

This woman's style and identity all indicate that she is powerful. In addition, she is a veteran reincarnation, and she has indispensable skills. Since she agreed to help her find her mother-in-law, she can put her mind at ease first. .

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard her say: "However, I can't help you directly. We need to create some opportunities."

Hu Ma was slightly startled: "Huh?"

The other party was silent for a moment and said calmly: "Hasn't anyone taught you that the most important thing for us is to hide our secrets?"

"Inexplicable closeness and friendship may arouse others' suspicion. There is no reason for my identity in this world to suddenly become familiar with you, a poor boy who grew up in a village. Therefore, we need to create some opportunities for ourselves. "

"Tomorrow at noon, I will encounter some danger. When the time comes, come and save me. That way, it won't be surprising if we help you again!"

"..."

"Can this still happen?"

Hu Ma finally understood, nodded, and said, "I understand."

"The news you care about..."

"..."

He opened his mouth to say it, but hesitated slightly. The temperament of this woman seemed to be different from the first reincarnation he met. Since the other person could tell the difference so clearly, Hu Ma was also worried about whether he would tell her later. , the other party will also break their promise...

"Let's help you find someone first!"

The other party seemed to have noticed Hu Ma's thoughts, smiled lightly and said, "I still have time."

"Just remember, tell me the answer later, only in dreams, in this way of connection, in reality, never say anything that arouses doubt."

As her voice dissipated, a wisp of smoke quietly retreated into the dark red mist. Hu Ma saw that the incense in front of her incense case had returned to a lightly burning and scattered state, and she felt a little strange.

He silently thought about the information this woman told him and the different situation between him and her, then slowly sighed and fell into sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I felt unreal.

"Little Huma, get up quickly and wipe your face. You have to hurry up today."

The second master had already come back from washing his face by the stream. He handed Hu Ma a piece of soaked coarse cloth and whispered: "Yesterday we took a detour and couldn't get to where the nobles wanted to go. Today we have to hurry up and be busy. After finishing their affairs, they can go find my mother-in-law..."

"...Xiao Hongtang didn't receive the letter today?"

"..."

Hu Ma turned around and took a look. Xiao Hongtang was huddled next to the dead tree where she slept, a small ball, and shook her head.

My mother-in-law's situation is probably not optimistic.

And after eating the roasted dry food, he also felt heavy.

He had not eaten blood for three days, and his limbs had begun to feel cold. There was a scalding hot ball in his lower abdomen, which was continuously transferring heat to the surroundings, but he understood that this was actually starting to consume his own fire. .

The fire in the furnace was still there, and he could still be no different from ordinary people. But when the fire in the furnace was all consumed, he did not dare to think about what would happen to him.

Perhaps only by finding my mother-in-law can I fully understand.

However, while wiping his face, he took a peek at the black sedan, feeling a little curious.

The conversation last night must not have been fake. Why hasn't she come out yet?

The group of people packed up and continued on their way. The reincarnated person codenamed White Wine still sat in the sedan chair, and the rest of the people were accompanying them.

The people who carry the sedan chair rotate about once every hour. It’s not that these bearers are weak in physical strength, it’s actually difficult to walk in the rugged woods. Even because of carrying this sedan, some places where short bodies can get through can’t be done. Take a detour.

This will of course invisibly lengthen the road and slow down the speed.

But the second master is used to being a guide, so naturally he will not dislike the nobleman for having too many things to do. Anyway, he is just leading the way honestly.

From the day they traveled to noon, the group was already a little sleepy. They had gradually entered an inaccessible place in the forest. Hu Ma had been paying attention, but did not find any opportunities.

Until I turned my head unintentionally and saw black markings on an old tree not far away with vines wrapped around it. Especially two or three meters above the ground, the markings were vaguely like a human face.

"Ghost wood?"

Hu Ma's heart moved slightly as she recognized it.

As the old trees in the forest age, human faces tend to grow on the trees. Once the human faces appear, the old trees become spiritual, and the entire surrounding forest becomes evil, making it easy for people to get lost, or even inexplicably. disappeared in the meantime.

If such ghost trees were seen around the village, the second master would definitely cut them down, but in this deep forest, no one would pay attention to them. There were often some that not only had human faces, but also had Taoism.

It stands to reason that it is daytime now, so this old tree should not cause trouble.

But the second master said earlier that the forest is full of gloom, and these spirits often come out before dusk.

Of course, the second master has a strong yang energy, so it stands to reason that evil spirits will not come close, but who knows how many powerful people there are in Laoyin Mountain?

Hu Ma suddenly became concerned and noticed this old tree. Why did the second master who was walking in front and the two bearers who carried the sedan just kept their heads down and hurried on without noticing that it was right next to them? The weird old tree you passed by?

While I was thinking about it, there was a slanting branch next to the old tree, quietly leaning towards the inside of the sedan.

Hu Ma was slightly startled. Knowing that the time had come, she immediately whispered: "Be careful."

As he spoke, he stepped forward quickly, made a fist with his right hand, and swung it forward heavily.

This is exactly the first step of Kaishan Fist in the posture taught by Erye.

When Hu Ma took action, he had already aroused the fire in the furnace. He punched the fist with great force. His clenched fists spanned a distance of three or four meters and hit the slanting branch in an instant. above the branches.

The punch was so fierce that it even partially opened the sedan curtain that had been beaten down.

From the corner of his eye, Hu Ma saw that there seemed to be some emerald green earrings, a fair profile, and something furry inside the sedan, flashing past.

"Snapped!"

The tree branch that had quietly reached into the sedan and was as thick as a fist was smashed into two pieces by Hu Ma's punch.

One piece fell to the ground, twisted twice, and stayed still.

The other end suddenly shrank, like a giant gray python, retracted into the forest in an instant and disappeared.

"Miss Protection!"

This movement also shocked everyone around.

The old shopkeeper almost lost his soul, shouted loudly, lifted the front swing, and instantly jumped to the side of the sedan.

Even Hu Ma was blocked by him from the outside of the sedan.

A group of guys were also alert, whipped out their knives, and stood ready.

"fine."

It was quiet in the sedan chair. After a while, a faint female voice sounded: "It's just an old tree that has become a climate."

"Yes Yes……"

The old shopkeeper was sweating and said yes repeatedly.

I just blamed myself secretly in my heart. Could it be that I was tired of rushing and ignored the danger in the forest?

Although the people in the sedan will not be injured in theory, this negligence is a huge fault for me...

While thinking about it, he suddenly turned around and saw a black nail driven into the old tree next to him.

The old tree suddenly trembled and its leaves fell.

But the shopkeeper didn't look back, but looked at Hu Ma with strange eyes.

He didn't notice it, nor did the old guide. The loyal guards around him didn't notice it. Unexpectedly, this kid did.

But it was also a serious risk. Although this boy had good intentions, he was very hairy. If he opened the sedan curtain and bumped into the people in the sedan, he would be in trouble.

"This kid has good intentions."

While he was thinking about it, the person in the sedan said calmly: "Shopkeeper, give him five taels of silver!"

"Yes Yes."

The shopkeeper agreed repeatedly, looked at Hu Ma again, the scrutinizing look on his face had long since disappeared, and said with a smile:

"Silly boy, you are so lucky, why don't you thank the lady for the reward?"

"..."

As he spoke, he reached out to take out the money, but Hu Ma didn't expect that at this time, he had already reacted and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want the money."

"Eh?"

The second master who was not far away was stunned when he heard this: "Why not?"

Come here and lead the way by yourself. You can walk for several days and you may not even get a few taels of silver as a reward...

"Um?"

The shopkeeper also glanced at Hu Ma curiously, half-smiling but not smiling: "Why, Wu Liang doesn't like it?"

Acting, can you still do it?

Hu Ma looked confused and whispered: "I don't want any money. I want to ask Miss...Sister to do me a favor."

Knowing that this young lady is a fellow countryman at heart, it's a bit awkward to call her young lady.

It's not a big problem to call a girl.

But upon hearing his words, the old shopkeeper next to him immediately turned down his face, and even the second master felt a thump in his heart: This little Huma is so ridiculous.

People reward you with silver, but you don't want the money and ask for help. How can the noble people from this city be so easy to talk to? If you offend others with a disagreement, they will roll their eyes without saying a word, and those with a bad temper will come over and slap them a few times. He also has a mouth.

"you……"

The shopkeeper's expression changed. He was about to curse, but he didn't want to. The voice from inside the sedan suddenly sounded:

"I'm busy, so I can't help you much."

"However, since I said I would reward you, I can't keep my promise. Just tell me!"

"..."

When the old shopkeepers and others around him listened, they all put away the expressions on their faces and nodded along.

The second master next to him was dumbfounded: "This stupid little fool is so lucky that he actually got the attention of a nobleman like this?"
