Twilight Boundary: Chapter 14 ghost talisman

Chapter 14 Ghost Drawing Talisman

 “Willow? Do you recognize your godmother?”

Hu Ma was shocked by Er Ye's strange words.

But now that he was in the woods, he felt that everything around him had a fuzzy feeling. Moreover, although he had come to this world not long ago, he had already seen too many strange and mysterious phenomena with his mother-in-law. In comparison, the second master This seemed childish, so I didn't say much. I just used the skills I had developed around my mother-in-law. I didn't ask or pry, and just did whatever I was told.

 Kneel down respectfully and kowtow three times to the big willow tree.

The second master said: "If you knock one more person, you will be in trouble. Although it is a good thing for you to knock three times, your godmother may not be able to bear it."

Hu Ma had to add another one, vaguely feeling that the willow tree seemed to be trembling slightly.

"alright."

The second master stopped Hu Ma and asked him not to get up for the time being. He squatted next to the willow tree, stroked the tree with his palms, and murmured: "Hu Ma, the grandson of Hu Bai's family, is in trouble in Dayang village. I came to see my godmother today to ask for my blessing. I'm not greedy for gold or silver, I just want to borrow three inches of willow branches from my godmother to light the stove. I hope my godmother will take care of her love and that little Huma will be in good health in the future. I'll come back to honor you as my godmother..."

 In the night, Hu Ma peeked.

After the second master said these words, he waited quietly for a few breaths. It seemed that a dark wind was blowing, and the willow branches swayed slowly a few times.

 There is a vague feeling of reluctance.

But the second master raised his head with a smile, pinched one of the willow branches that was blown by the wind and hit Hu Ma's head, pinched it upwards for a small half, pinched it gently, and broke off the willow branch. , smiled and said to Hu Ma: "Thank you, Goddess Qin, let's go."

Huma Intuition’s weird behavior is somewhat mysterious.

After walking far away, he whispered to the second master: "You recognize this godmother just to borrow this willow branch?"

"Of course."

The second master said: "Otherwise, you are the grandson of the ghost mother-in-law. Why would you need to call such a little willow monster your godmother?"

“We call it godmother because it happily agrees to lend us this willow branch.”

　　　…”

Hu Ma nodded and whispered: "But what if it doesn't agree?"

 “If you don’t agree, you’ll have to cut it off.”

Second Master glared and said: "I'm even knocking my head. If you don't give me this little thing, doesn't that mean you're not giving face to our Second Master as a witness?"

“But you seem to have asked me to kowtow, and you didn’t ask me if I would answer or not…”

Hu Ma complained silently in her heart. Of course it seemed like it was a good thing to agree, but of course she couldn't say it out loud.

It seems that only the second master can do this, and the mother-in-law may not be able to do it.

The second master took Hu Ma back to the house on the mountain. This time he walked slower, and Hu Ma did realize the difference between the second master and her mother-in-law.

When I was with my mother-in-law, I always felt that there were some rustling noises around me, and there were several weird things. It seemed that even my mother-in-law could only have a good conversation with them, and even give some gifts, but when I followed the second master, I No such phenomenon occurs.

 Occasionally, there are some spying eyes behind the trees, and they are very far away, as if they are afraid of something.

Following the second master is much safer than following the mother-in-law?

 But the second master admits that he is not as capable as his mother-in-law. What is the difference?

 Back in the yard, heads squeezed out of the bedrooms on the east and west sides to look.

The second master yelled at them: "Sleep well and don't look around!"

“Second Master, is the young master of the Hu family going to light the stove on the first day?”

 The teenagers were obviously afraid of the second master, but they were not completely afraid. When he scolded him, some people still boldly asked: "Don't he need to learn some tricks?"

 “Not convinced?”

The second master lectured: "Go back to the village to find your father and ask for Qing Tai Sui!"

After drinking away the curious teenagers, he took Hu Ma and got into the main room. He saw that the interior was simply decorated, with only a shabby Eight Immortals table and two Taishi chairs with polished round and translucent armrests. One of them was lame. All legs.

On the left hand side is Zhangtu pit. There is a stone fire beside the wall. It is extinguished at this time. There is an iron pot scattered on it, which seems to have not been washed.

 The second master asked Hu Ma to wait nearby, and he took the fire sickle and lit the oil lamp and fire in the house.

There was a dark iron pot sitting on it, water was poured into it, and some walnuts, red dates and the like were thrown in.

Just then he turned around, took out a tattered thread-bound book, turned to a page, and seemed to carefully confirm something.

Then he squatted in front of the fire and said to Hu Ma: "Mother-in-law said you don't remember much. Second Master, I don't know how much you have forgotten now, but some time ago, you were targeted by a ghost, and the harm was serious." , we often encounter evil things now, right?"

Hu Ma nodded quickly: "Yes, from time to time I feel like something is looking at me, and I feel uncomfortable all over."

“But if I’m with you, Erye, I won’t.”

　　　…”

“That’s because, Second Master, my stove is still going strong, but Second Master can’t keep watch over you, and neither can my mother-in-law.”

The second master said: "So, I plan to light a stove for you, so that you won't be afraid of those things even if there is no one to protect you."

As he spoke, he smoked the tobacco in the pot, making a sizzling sound. The red light illuminated his face from time to time.

 The night had fallen, and the cold wind blew, making his words a little more mysterious and solemn.

 “Light the stove?”

"right."

The second master said in a low voice: "Our world is not peaceful. All kinds of evil things have emerged in the mountains, causing harm to people more than they deserve. Our Dayangzhai survives by relying on the ancestors in Laohuotangzi, but You can’t rely on your ancestors for everything, right?”

"So, we have been thinking about how we can make a living in this old forest by ourselves." "There is really a way."

 “Those evil things are actually just a stream of yin energy.”

“We are afraid of these Yin Qi, but in fact they are also afraid of the human Qi in us. The stronger the human Qi, the more afraid they are.”

“So, these boys follow me here, eat meat, run in the mountains, practice postures, and bask in the sun, all in order to make their bodies stronger. The stronger they are, the less likely they will be targeted by evil spirits.”

“But just exercising is not enough.”

“If you really want to learn the skills to deal with those things, the first thing you have to do is to light a stove in your body and lock in your yang energy...”

 “It’s getting more and more intense, like a big stove...”

“At this time, think about it, what evil spirit dares to provoke you?”

　　　…”

 “This is really… so unscientific.”

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt vaguely excited.

Don’t be afraid of being unscientific. After all, you will be very unscientific when you come into this world. If you can learn skills, who cares about this?

 “Then, what needs to be done?”

 “Haha, wait a minute, look over there…”

Facing Hu Ma’s unconcealable excitement, the second master chuckled and pointed to a wooden post leaning against the wall in front of him.

The wooden stake was dark in color, as thick as an arm's length, one and a half meters long, and stood upright on the ground.

The second master said, "Move this pillar over here."

"good."

Hu Ma immediately agreed, ran to the pillar and stretched out his hands to move it.

This wooden stake is made of solid wood and should be heavy. But Hu Ma is now healed from his injuries and has full strength. It feels like it weighs one or two hundred kilograms, which is not a problem. But now when I touch it with my hands, I can only feel that this stake is icy and eroding the bones. , Lift it hard, but Wen Si doesn’t move.

 “Is this welded to the ground?”

 He subconsciously glanced down, only to see that even the gap below was not filled.

This kind of monster made him feel something was wrong, so he looked at the second master.

 “Hey, can you see it?”

Seeing Hu Ma’s curious look, the second master said, “That’s a ghost wooden stake that has taken root in the ground.”

 “Ghost wood?”

Hu Ma was slightly shocked.

Although he didn't know much about the world in the past few days, he also learned some things from Xiao Hongtang's mouth, such as the dangers in the forest and the fact that there are some old trees with human beings growing on their bark. Face.

As long as such an old tree appears, the entire forest around it will become very dangerous. If a living person enters, he or she will often lose sight of the direction and be trapped alive inside.

Hu Ma had also been curious about these things, but she didn't expect that she would actually see them with her own eyes at this time.

“That’s right, the trees were cut down two days ago and the bark was peeled off, otherwise you could see people’s faces.”

The second master smiled and said: "But even though it was cut down and the human face was peeled off, evil things are evil things. As long as this wooden stake touches the ground, it will take root immediately. Let alone you, it is the village." The adults inside can’t move it with pure strength!”

“If we want to make it move, there are only two ways. One is to roast it with fire, and the other is to depend on our own abilities..."

 As he spoke, he puffed his pipe and his chest slowly swelled.

 “Hoo!”

He suddenly sprayed it out in one breath, like a sharp arrow.

Hu Ma only felt a strong wind hitting from the side, and then heard a crisp sound in his ears.

I saw that the ghost wooden stake that I could not pull with all my strength was blown away by the second master in one breath.

"this…"

Hu Ma was surprised and happy, and was shocked by the second master's move.

"Ran."

The second master proudly put his hands behind his back, stood up, took a look at the door, turned around and smiled at Hu Ma: "This is the advantage of lighting up the stove. Second master, I will spray it out in one breath, and ordinary evil spirits will not die." hurt."

“This has a name, it’s called the True Yang Arrow. If I bite the tip of my tongue and spit out blood, it would be even more powerful. The name is called the Blood Yang Arrow.”

"Second Master, I have never touched a real woman in my life. I have been a boy for sixty years and have developed this skill."

　　　…”

Hu Ma looked at the second master's tall body with admiration in his eyes, admiring the second master's ability.

 That is, why are you proud?

During the new book period, everyone wants to vote for it. It’s so important. I’m crying.
