Twilight Boundary

"Brother, you are so anxious to find me, do you think you have good news?"

Under Hu Ma's gaze, as he called out, the burning of half a pillar of life incense in the furnace suddenly accelerated, and a wisp of fragrance penetrated into the dark red mist like a snake, twisting and rotating rapidly, as if searching for What.

After a while, the scent suddenly became stiff, and Erguotou's voice started to sound. At the same time, the burning speed of the life incense gradually slowed down.

Although it was the first time to formally call someone, Hu Ma had also learned how to use this life incense before.

If the life incense is inserted in the incense burner, you can hear the call of others at any time. If it has been connected before, you can call yourself directly. Of course, this requires you to be asleep, so that you can hear the call all at once. Pulled into the temple.

If he were awake, he might be able to feel it slightly, but Hu Ma hasn't tried it yet.

Erguotou had only made an appointment to talk to him on every zero day before, but as long as he was sleeping, he could call him even if it was not every zero day.

But this kind of abrupt interruption is somewhat rude unless it's an urgent matter.

Now that he heard Erguotou's voice, Hu Ma also knew that the call was successful. He sighed inwardly and said with a smile: "It's not that clear yet, but I do have a little bit of information."

"But, I am anxious to ask you, if we really want to get that batch of blood food, what do we need to prepare before we actually take action, and how can we cooperate so that we can get it more securely and more securely?"

Now, I am almost certain that the batch of blood food is near Zhuangzi.

But there is no need to reveal this information for the first time. It is better to ask questions carefully.

While Hu Ma acted cautiously, the Erguotou man was even more sensible. He never asked any questions, but said: "Simple, find out the situation clearly, decide on the strategy, and finally, make sure to clear the head and tail after getting it. Enjoy it in peace.”

"Step in, take action, and sell stolen goods?"

These words jumped out of Hu Ma's mind inexplicably, and she hurriedly said: "Not to mention other things, you have to be careful when it comes to actions."

"Brother, it's not that I doubt it, but I want to ask, are the people from Tan'er Cult easy to deal with?"

"..."

Erguotou was slightly startled: "Those gangsters are rogue? Did they really run away from Laoyin Mountain?"

"It's almost the same."

Hu Ma said: "The news is not clear yet, but I can be sure that if we want to securely obtain this batch of blood food, we must confront them."

Erguotou's voice became calmer and he said, "How many people are there?"

Hu Ma expressed uncertainty and just said: "At least we must be prepared to deal with the entire Tan'er Cult."

Hearing this, Erguotou fell silent slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "This requires careful planning. Although the Tan'er sect is mostly wild, but it was able to make such a big fuss in Mingzhou Prefecture back then, its ability cannot be underestimated. ?”

"...What is your shopkeeper planning? How can his two brushes defeat these people?"

"..."

Hu Ma listened, but she also smiled bitterly in her heart: "I don't know that..."

How could the experienced Erguotou not see what he could see himself?

Although the old shopkeeper gave his own explanation for not reporting the matter, it sounded very strange to anyone.

No matter how much he talks, he still can't get through the first key. Is the shopkeeper really so confident that he can deal with the entire Tan'er Cult on his own?

Or is it enough to add yourself?

"No matter what, it's about Tan'er Cult and your old shopkeeper with unknown intentions. They still want to hide it from the Red Lantern Club. It only depends on the two of us. I'm afraid it's not safe..."

Erguotou also thought about it and said slowly: "Perhaps, we brothers need to find a helper."

"..."

"helper?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised: "Where can I find this?"

"Of course it's the white wine lady..."

Brother Erguotou smiled and said: "She is quite capable. As far as I know, she is not from Mingzhou Prefecture, but she came here to deal with something, so she should still be here now."

"But she doesn't like to chat. I called her a few times, thinking she must have heard me but was just too lazy to pay attention to me."

"..."

"Take the initiative to chat with others?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised: "Then why do I have to wait until the zero day to find love every time?"

Erguotou was also silent for a moment, and said a little awkwardly: "I'm talking to you about business..."

"...But who likes to talk to men in normal times? When I come here occasionally, of course I want to be coquettish with the white wine lady, and I have to pretend to be the big brother in front of you!"

"..."

"What the hell? This is..."

After hearing this, Hu Ma was a little speechless. She could only shake her head helplessly and said: "I will continue to inquire about the specific information. There are still too many things to determine now."

"However, if we really decide to take action at that time, we should find the helpers in advance. I estimate that Tan'er Cult is coming, probably in the near future."

Brother Erguotou laughed when he heard this and said, "Then don't worry."

"I asked Miss White Grape to go out for tea and visit the rouge shop. She ignored me, but I told her that with this batch of blood food, she would definitely be tempted."

"..."

After explaining a few more details, Hu Ma left the temple.

I have already made an agreement with Brother Erguotou. Since good things are coming soon, there is no need to wait for the perfect day.

Recently, every night at midnight, everyone goes to the natal temple to wait for the incense stick. If there is news, they will communicate, and if there is no news, they will leave.

After getting up the next day, Hu Ma just practiced silently and arranged the affairs in Zhuangzi.

When he falls asleep, he is the reincarnated person, and when he wakes up, he is still Hu Ma.

Be willing to work hard and love to learn.

The old shopkeeper promised to replenish the blood food for Hu Ma, which was really a lot.

Although the shopkeeper was never willing to take out the blood food pills, there was a large bowl of green food every day. Hu Ma ate them all without hesitation and felt the nourishment of his blood.

With his diligence in cultivation earlier, the life incense was consumed quickly. As he continued to practice and contact the reincarnated person, his third pillar of life incense was almost completely consumed. Falling into the second pillar, life is fragrant.

But now that I have been nourished by green food, I have managed to keep this third pillar of life-incense. Although the progress of my practice has not dropped, the life-incense has not fallen again.

In addition to practicing, he also took the initiative to ask the guys in Zhuangzi to step up patrols and walk around when they had nothing to do.

Of course, he also sternly warned you not to take action if you encounter anything.

I knew very well in my heart that if these guys met someone from Tan'er Cult, they would not be able to show off just by looking at the stove and a few handles.

As for the earlier murder case in the village, someone also came to Zhuangzi.

As Hu Ma had guessed, they were all frightened when they suddenly saw the Tofu Zhao family in Zhuangzi and such a murderous incident.

People hurriedly rushed to the city to report to the government, but no one came down from the government office.

I don't think I'm stupid at all. You're in such a remote place, and you're close to the edge of Laoyin Mountain. Is there anything weird happening?

I ran over to it, but it was no good. What if I met someone powerful and hurt me?

The surrounding villagers, who never regarded the red light cabinet as outsiders, saw that the city officials were not paying attention, so they came to Zhuangzi to ask the shopkeeper to take care of it. Hu Ma saw that this was the matter, but he didn't even need to ask the shopkeeper, and he did whatever he wanted. I followed them for a walk.

In fact, compared to the murder case, the people in the village were more afraid that this case was too serious and that something evil had happened.

But in fact, they were overly worried.

Hu Ma entered the tofu Zhao family again. It was still as bloody and cruel as last time, but with a more rancid smell.

But, clean.

In terms of those evil things, this house is cleaner than anywhere else.

The people who taught Taner dealt with the poor Widow Zhao very well, and the shopkeeper also dealt with him very well.

Therefore, Hu Ma just told the villagers: "Pick up all the broken limbs and burn them."

"Come here morning and night, burn paper, light incense, and you will be at peace."

"..."

Seeing the panic on the faces of the villagers, Hu Ma also thought that Tan'er Cult had already killed two people, and he was afraid they would not give up.

Then he deliberately said: "You don't need to go to the government to investigate this case. It's very simple. Some demons from outside targeted Widow Zhao, sneaked in at night and killed her. Look at that human skin. This is what those people did." Magical and man-made.”

"But this person didn't get any good either. Widow Zhao took his life unjustly and died even more miserably. What is this called? God has eyes and retribution is not good!"

"But we fellow villagers should also be more careful."

"Those who are learning evil methods should be more vigilant in the future. This matter to the Zhao family is no longer the first."

"Earlier, a salesman passed by the pole village. He looked thick and big-browed. He was actually a doll seller. He almost lost three dolls to him. Fortunately, I met him and helped them find them. Otherwise, It’s scary to think about.”

"..."

Naturally, the people in the village had heard about this, and they all nodded in panic: "Yes, yes!"

Some people even said angrily: "If you encounter these people walking around the streets in the future, if they dare to enter the village, they will be beaten to death."

Hu Ma was startled. She really knew that they were not joking. The villagers got angry and beat one or two people to death and threw them outside to feed the dogs. They were not afraid at all.

He said hurriedly: "That's not necessary. Most of them are good people. It's convenient for the folks to earn a couple of copper coins by walking around the streets, isn't it? It's just the monsters who get in there who are hateful!"

"Folks, just be more careful. If you encounter anything suspicious, come to Zhuangzi and talk to us."

"..."

The people in the village were immediately moved when they heard this. The elderly people held Hu Ma's hand and kept saying touching words.

Hu Ma vaguely felt that with the handling of these incidents, she was now famous.

Even bigger than the stern old shopkeeper.

After handling the matter, Hu Ma also returned to Zhuangzi. After a few days like this, she felt even more uneasy.

Not only did the guys look around, but the people in the village would also pay attention to the new faces coming in. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many omissions, but for three or five days in a row, there was no movement. They knew they were coming, but they didn't come. This calm before the storm is the most painful.

However, things have to be done. Although I don't quite understand the true intention of the shopkeeper, after having lunch that day, I still walked into the inner courtyard with some flax in my hands.

When he came to the shopkeeper, he smiled and threw away the crutch in his hand.

"Shopkeeper, I'm done!"
