Twilight Boundary: Chapter 124 Call for evil and ask questions

Chapter 124: Calling for Evil and Asking Questions

　　　…”

　　After reciting it twice in a row, Hu Ma looked at the rice circle in front of her attentively.

 I saw the river water in the bowl, suddenly trembling slightly and making little ripples, as if it was suddenly affected by some mysterious power.

Although this is just a bowl of water, it is also tainted with the evil breath of the river there. Now, something seems to be attracted by this breath, quietly rising, and drifting from the direction of the river.

Now the sun was rising, and the sky and the earth were bright, but there was a faint wind, and the flames in the brazier in front of him were whirring. Hu Ma was in a trance, feeling that he seemed to be in a high hall, with vague people around him. Tall halls and big tiles.

Just when I felt a little strange in my heart, I suddenly heard the sound of wind, and felt a cool and biting wind blowing from the river, which made people shiver and make their breath suffocate.

Hu Ma had the skills and deeds of a watcher, so he held back and stared.

Then I saw something blurry in front of me, as if something was floating in the rice circle, and it seemed a little confused.

He suppressed the instinctive fear in his heart and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is coming? Get your name quickly!"

After shouting out one sentence, Hu Ma also felt that he was too harsh, but he knew that he must not show any timidity at this time, otherwise the technique would fail.

 And the thing seemed to be frightened by Hu Ma's voice. For a moment, it whimpered in the circle of rice, as if it wanted to find a way to escape from here. But the flax and rice are spread in a circle with only one door. It can exit, but it cannot get out of the circle.

It became more and more rapid, and even the rice grains sprinkled on the ground shook slightly.

Hu Ma was extremely nervous at this time, and from the corner of his eye he was always paying attention to the three sticks of incense burning in front of him.

I was just afraid. The incense burnt into two short pieces and one long piece.

Hu Ma dared to make this attempt because the Zhensui Book recorded in detail a "scent-viewing technique".

 Judge how well you are an envoy by observing how the incense burns.

 In other words, if something goes wrong, you will have the opportunity to escape.

There are three types of incense burnt: medium, bad, and auspicious. According to the Zhensui book, if the incense looks bad, you can no longer practice the law. But Hu Ma thought that if it is not a medium or high-grade auspicious image, he will not be able to do it. Just ran away.

 There is no other way, my ability is limited, I can only deal with brother Yang Gong.

Fortunately, these three incense sticks did burn faster than usual when something was spinning around in the rice circle. However, the three incense sticks were almost the same. Only the left one seemed to burn faster than the middle and right sticks. , it still belongs to the "auspicious image" and can be continued.

Hu Ma cheered up and stared at the things in the rice circle again. Across the brazier, his expression looked uncertain and mysterious.

“Since I was called, why didn’t I speak?”

　　　…”

His voice was stern, and the things in the rice circle were even more panicked. They screamed silently and seemed to be rushing towards Hu Ma.

Layers of Yin Qi hit, and the fire in the brazier in front of him seemed to be extinguished.

 “Is this thing looking at me?”

Hu Ma knew that the brazier in front of him was to protect him. Once the fire in the brazier weakened, the thing would see him clearly, and he would be in big trouble.

 I was startled, and suddenly I recited a mantra.

He just recited the mantra written in the Zhensui book quickly, making sure that the pronunciation of the words was standard and continuous. Hu Ma remembered the mantra exactly.

But he himself didn't know what he was reciting. He also found an opportunity in private to recite this curse to a kid in a graveyard, but the kid didn't react at all and even stuck his head out to ask Hu Ma. What do you want to do?

But now that he was spitting out each word, it seemed that some kind of mysterious power had been aroused. There was a sinister wind blowing around him, and there was a solemn and majestic sound.

Vaguely, Hu Ma actually saw that the scarecrows on both sides seemed to have turned into several soap-coated figures, some holding knives, some holding sticks, and some holding chains, approaching the black shadow in the circle.

 The most astonishing thing is that when he recited the incantation quickly, the three sticks of incense in front of him burned significantly faster.

He was afraid that before the incense burned out, he would not be afraid of the things inside. He kept chanting in his mouth, but his heart was in his throat.

Fortunately, when I was chanting the curse, the thing in the rice circle seemed to be extremely scared. It wanted to escape eagerly, but it turned around and couldn't find a way to escape. Gradually, it finally became afraid and shrank its body. There was a ball, and the appearance of a thick-backed man was vaguely visible.

He bowed his head towards Hu Ma, his voice was as hoarse as an old man's, and sounded a bit cold.

"Sir, have mercy on me. I am an old turtle in the river. I have lived here for a long time. Because I have eaten too many dead bodies, I have become infected with the yin energy. I have gained spirituality, envy of human affairs, and learned how to ask for livestock tribute from others. But I could not eat it earlier. Once you lose, you have already changed.”

“Now that we are at peace with my neighbors on the left and right, I don’t need them to sacrifice three animals to me. In normal times, if they want to catch people in the river and burn a stick of incense, I will let them pass..."

　　　…”

 “Have you confessed?”

Hu Ma's heart moved slightly and she felt a little surprised.

To deal with these evil spirits, the first thing is to find where they come from and their roots.

 But this is often the most difficult thing. I don’t know how many mages have troubled me. Now I can ask it in just one sentence?

Especially when I heard him say that he had suffered that loss, I knew that I had found the right person.

I was thinking in my heart, but my momentum didn't drop. I just stared at that thing. The distance was so close, even if it was blocked by the rice circle and the brazier, I could still feel the Yin Qi hitting my face, like a knife blade shaving my face. Fortunately, I have the ability to watch the year. You must be capable, otherwise you may not be able to bear it.

"I don't ask you these questions. I called you here. I just have something to use you for."

“I’m going to pick up someone in a while and use it at Qinshui Mansion. If you see a red paper boat in a stick of incense, just avoid it!”

　　　…”

The black shadow was shivering, showing no signs of reluctance.

Having said this, Hu Ma also felt a little relieved, and his power remained the same, but his voice softened slightly: "There is no square without rules." "If you are not used in vain, what kind of sacrifice do you want?"

　　　…”

The black shadow trembled and said: "Just three..."

Hu Ma frowned: "Huh?"

The voice of the shadow suddenly changed: "...Three bowls of sacrifices, one bowl of rice, one bowl of fish, and one bowl of meat are enough, nothing else is required!"

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

Really, I thought you wanted three animals. The three animals are the main sacrifices, and they are the best offerings among the main sacrifices. It is a bit too much to offer evil spirits.

　　After agreeing, the black shadow retreated quietly as if receiving a general amnesty.

Just now he was turning around, always in the circle of rice. Now he retreated quietly without any movement. He actually retreated directly, suddenly turned into a shadow, and hurriedly went towards the river...

Looking like this, it seems that he can't escape at all costs, and he can only leave if Huma lets him go.

Also after it exited, there was a sudden clearness around it. There was no gloomy wind, no high roofs with tiles, no dense flames, and no men in soap clothes holding knives and chains. There were still only braziers, rice circles, and a few people with red stickers on their bodies. Just a scarecrow in clothes.

Hu Ma glanced around in confusion for a long time before suddenly taking a breath and thinking to herself: "This New Year's Book is so overbearing!"

The things in this river are obviously not on the same level as my current abilities.

 However, by using this method, you actually forcibly reached an agreement with the other party?

When I raised my head, I saw that the surrounding sky had returned to normal. The dead branches placed in the brazier in front of me had long been burned out. The three pillars of incense had almost burned down to their roots. Only two pillars were slightly longer and one pillar was burned out.

Now this is the final incense statue. When it is burned like this, it means that the magic has been completed.

He breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw Xiao Hongtang staring at him, her body trembling.

Hu Ma was slightly suspicious: "What's wrong with you?"

 “I…I’m afraid he’ll hit you…”

Xiao Hongtang whispered: "Just now, this master just now was so powerful, but he seemed to be very afraid of Brother Huma."

"He could obviously jump over and hit you, but he didn't..."

　　　…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt a little strange and asked Xiao Hongtang, "Didn't your mother-in-law do this before?"

 It stands to reason that the ability of the Hu family is in this year's book.

 What I am doing now should be in line with my mother-in-law, and it is also the skill of a ghost walker.

 But he himself also felt that it seemed a little strange.

Sure enough, after hearing what Hu Ma said, Xiao Hongtang just shook her head: "My mother-in-law has never done such a thing..."

“My mother-in-law is very kind to everyone and never bullies anyone...”

　　　…”

 “Sure enough…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt strange in her heart: "I obviously received the New Year Book from my mother-in-law."

“But the skills I’m using now are completely different from those of my mother-in-law?”

　　　…”

 In fact, I feel a little uneasy in my heart.

The things recorded in the New Year's Book are completely different from those of the watchers. Just now, he seemed to have summoned some powerful force to forcibly frighten the things in the river.

 It's like putting a knife to someone's neck to negotiate terms!

 But my family knows their own affairs. Just now, the power summoned was extremely domineering and fierce, but the risk is borne by myself.

Just like when I was reciting the punishment curse, the incense burned very quickly, and the evil spirit did not give in before the incense burned out, so I was in a difficult position.

"It would be great if my mother-in-law could teach me this method..."

Hu Ma secretly warned herself, but she only felt a deep helplessness.

He hurried back to the fishermen again, and bought a bowl of rice, a bowl of meat, and a bowl of fish from the villagers. They were all common things and easy to find. Finally, he came to the shore and took the three bowls as a sacrifice when no one was prepared. The product was poured into the river.

 After that, he found a boat, put a red paper on the bow of the boat, lit a stick of incense, held it in his hand, and then quietly pushed the boat into the river.

At this time, I saw the people from the Tsing Yi Gang also had a boat, slowly sailing into the river, with a vague figure on the boat.

But the gang members who had been guarding the river and surrounding the water temple all came to the shore.

They were all startled when they saw a boat sailing out from a distance and approaching the Water Temple. They shouted hurriedly:

 “Come back and worship the river god. Don’t go into the water...”

　　　…”

But Hu Ma didn't care about them. Holding a stick of incense, he rowed straight to the side of the Water Temple facing the water and said loudly:

“Brother Yang Gong, jump out of the boat quickly and I’ll take you across the river.”
