Twilight Boundary: Chapter 131 Unique secrets
Chapter 131 Unique secrets
"Um?"
Hu Ma was startled when Leng Buding heard Erguotou mention this.
However, he immediately reacted and lowered his voice: "Is there something wrong?"
I felt wary for a moment.
If he were really an ordinary young man from the village, given the opportunity to become a shopkeeper, he would probably risk his life.
Because this is no longer promising, it is simply a meteoric rise, it is really like the smoke rising from the ancestral grave. Although it is just a small shopkeeper, it is not possible to say hello to acquaintances in the red lantern club and take care of the big ones. Yangzhaizi?
Should we wait until the Red Lantern Club recruits people and ask a few more children from the village to come and make a career?
Hu Ma just became the steward, and was the most promising child in the village.
Now that I have to become a shopkeeper, the old patriarch still has to choke?
But Hu Ma is also a reincarnated person after all, born with evil intentions, so he will not be so obsessed with this identity. As soon as he hears that there is a problem, he immediately calms down.
"Haha, these shopkeepers are often not the empress's confidants. Of course, the empress's confidants can't do their job. But is it really so easy to earn such a huge amount of money every month?"
Erguotou sneered: "I don't know when I will need them."
“It just so happens that this kind of thing is going to happen next month, so I think you’ll wait until you get through this before you think about becoming the shopkeeper.”
…”
Hearing what Erguotou said, Hu Ma felt a little scared and said, "What is the specific matter? Can you tell me?"
"specific…"
Hearing this, Erguotou hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Don't let anything slip."
“Including me, only three people in the Red Lantern Club know about this matter. Once the news is leaked, it will be too easy for outsiders to target you and me.”
…”
Hu Ma solemnly said: "I know how powerful it is."
Erguotou then sighed lowly and said: "Next month, from each village, shopkeepers will be selected to go to the city to work hard."
“The evil ghosts from the Tsing Yi Gang have been suppressed by our Red Lantern Lady for so long, and now they can’t hold it back anymore...”
…”
"What?"
After Hu Ma listened carefully, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat and realized how important what Erguotou told him was.
Just now, I was still full of ecstasy, but I never thought that I almost got into bad luck.
He calmed down for a while, and then said seriously to Erguotou: "Brother, this information you gave me almost saved my life."
“I can’t ask you for nothing, I owe you a favor.”
…”
Erguotou said: "Needless to say, this is the most basic mode of cooperation among reincarnated people. If you hand over a message for something, you won't just vote for it."
Even though he said this, Hu Ma still remembered the favor.
This kind of thing is really magical. Others only need a word, but it can greatly change their own destiny.
After a moment of silence, he said: "Then do I need to replace the shopkeeper?"
“It’s not like I’m pushing him away. It’s really comfortable to be the shopkeeper in a village outside. It will also be convenient for us to cooperate in the future.”
Erguotou said: "But you don't want to be in the limelight now. You can even go out and hide for a while. Don't worry that the position of shopkeeper will be gone. It's troublesome to choose a shopkeeper of Zhuangzi."
“This is quite fresh…”
Hu Ma thought for a moment and said, "I understand."
Erguotou also laughed when he saw that Hu Ma was doing well: "To be honest, I didn't expect you to show up so quickly."
"That boy named Yang Gong is hated by everyone. I roll my eyes when I see him. I didn't expect him to recognize you so much. When I gave him a reward a few days ago, he kept mentioning your contribution and saying that other shopkeepers are not as good as him. You, let me help you make a name for yourself..."
"I don't want this reputation, I don't want to offend anyone..."
Hearing this, Hu Ma felt a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I helped him out earlier, and I was worried about it, but the credit was so greedy after all, so after thinking about it for a while, I decided to do it anyway."
“This great achievement is indeed worth it. Among the group of you who entered the Empress Association last year, there were only a few who stood out, and you are the only one among the Qingxiang disciples.”
Erguotou said with regret in his voice: "However, after all, there is such a large amount of blood food. It would be great if we could get it ourselves..."
Hu Ma smiled and said: "It's not that I don't feel bad, it's just that the matter is too urgent and I really don't have time to arrange it..."
"Also, you can't take action too frequently, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."
Erguotou thought about it for a while, but he agreed deeply and said with a smile: "It's not a loss at all. The disciple of Hongxiang named Yang Gong doesn't know the heights of the world, he is violent and stubborn, and he doesn't know how to hide his clumsiness."
"I originally thought that he was just a cannon fodder who lost his life quickly, but unexpectedly he took a wrong approach and actually won such a great achievement. He has caught the eye of the queen. It's good for you to be friends with him now. Maybe something will happen in the future. We can use him."
…”
Hearing this, Hu Ma felt deeply recognized.
Yang Gong is a typical person, but he is also special. Not only Erguotou, I was not optimistic about him at first. However, this kind of people who are not looked down upon by others and feel that they have too many faults can sometimes do amazing things with their simple minds and one breath. Of course, they may die tomorrow.
With emotion in his heart, he suddenly became curious about something and said, "What kind of leaders are these Hongxiang disciples?"
Erguotou smiled and said: "I have always experienced more dangers than Qingxiang's disciples."
“The first thing these disciples who burned red incense did when they entered the congregation was to enjoy blessings. They were fed with the best blood and food, slept well, and were well clothed.”
“Probably because most of them are from poor backgrounds and have innate deficiencies, they need to make up for themselves. Otherwise, they will not even be able to see the Red Lantern Lady, and they will be blown away by the yin energy first.”
“And if you raise it well, it will be the first step called ‘worshiping the red light’.”
“In the palace late at night, holding three sticks of incense, kneeling in front of a red lantern, and being illuminated by the red lantern all night, if you cannot hold on, you will die.”
“Even if you don’t die, your body will be seriously ill if it is eaten away by Yin Qi.”
“And if they can survive it, they will become a yin body. At this time, as long as they learn the magic method, they can call on the magic power of the Red Lantern Queen when they encounter a situation..."
“You can understand them as red lanterns that can walk.”
"Of course, this is not enough. Learning how to use the power of the Red Lantern Queen only means that they can work. In addition, there are a series of special situations, how to worship, how to maintain a healthy body, how to do dirty work with clean hands and feet, etc. wait."
“If you study well, are willing to do things, and fall into the eyes of the Red Lantern Queen, you may be transferred to serve in front of the Red Lantern Queen’s lamp, directly listen to the Queen’s will, and exercise the Red Lantern Queen’s will...”
"Actually, if disciples like them pass the three levels, they also belong to the same sect and are called spirit-bearing people."
“In today’s world, people like them are the ones we see the most. They take the most dangerous path and strive for the greatest wealth.”
“So, if Yang Gong doesn’t survive, that’s fine. If he survives, he shouldn’t be underestimated.”
…”
Hearing this, Hu Ma also felt a little emotional, and whispered: "Shou Sui, wandering ghosts, negative spirits..."
“How many ways are there in this world?”
…”
Erguotou smiled and said: "This is really big. In your previous life, how many subjects could you understand in the world?"
He asked a rhetorical question first, and then said: "In short, the most common things in this world are to keep the year old and run away, bear the soul and torture the soul, harm the head and command the order, channel the underworld to steal disaster, trick the head and so on."
“But people’s creative desire is endless, even in these doors.”
“Every large doorway has derivatives and blends, and how many small doorways and side doors have appeared. It is beyond our imagination.”
…”
“My understanding of this world is only the tip of the iceberg…”
Hu Ma thought silently in her heart: "Now I have learned the art of keeping the New Year's Eve, but I also have to learn the skills of holding the New Year's Book. What kind of method is the content of the New Year's Book? Is it a ghost, or is it something else that I don't know?"
Regarding the matter of the New Year's Book, I couldn't ask Erguotou directly. I just felt a little moved in my heart and said: "This time I went out with Yang Gong to do something, but I met a ghost walker from the Tsing Yi Gang. Brother, you know how to be a ghost walker? Do you understand?"
“Ghost walker?”
Erguotou was startled after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "This is the easiest way to get started. There are many in the world."
“But you don’t have to worry, most ghost walkers are quite easy to deal with, because most people can’t learn the essence of ghost walkers...”
“…burn money!”
…”
As he said that, he casually talked to Hu Ma about some of the specialties of ghost walkers, which was very clear and logical, which opened Hu Ma's eyes.
The two chatted happily, and Erguotou reluctantly exited the connection, sighing helplessly: "...Oh, if only every time I chat with Miss White Wine, I can have such topics as you."
…”
Hu Ma was a little speechless. Why was he being disliked for no reason?
Just after exiting the Benming Shrine Temple, I was helplessly thinking about: strange people, strange people, various sects...
This world is really deep, strange and complicated...
Why did I, reincarnations like Erguotou and Baijiu come to this world?
Just to survive in this world?
Even if you learn the skills bit by bit and gain a firm foothold, what will be waiting for you in the end?
Huma has never had time to think about this most essential issue. Now that she thinks about it, she feels even more headache and confused.
In the end, I could only sigh and hide this initial question in the deepest part of my dream.
It wasn't until it was still dark that he heard the sound of the courtyard door and he got up from the bed. He saw shopkeeper Wu's old servant had brought a carriage in and parked beside the inner courtyard, carrying luggage to the carriage.
Hu Ma stepped forward to help and put the things away without disturbing the other men. At dawn, he sent the two old men and one young man out of the village.
He vaguely looked away. In the mist, Wu He opened the curtain and looked back.
But what else can I do besides waving goodbye to her?
But my heart became clear: the journey is long and the fate is wavering. Whether you are the reincarnated person or the aboriginal people of this world, they are just struggling to survive.
Why bother thinking about things that are far away? Survive first, and then think about things you can understand...
The third update is asking for votes! More updates will be added tomorrow!
