Twilight Boundary: Chapter 150 Ma Family Ancestral Hall
Chapter 150 Ma Family Ancestral Hall
Mr. Hou called seven or eight souls in one night, and they all turned into moths in his lantern, flying around. Then he and Hu Ma quietly left the village.
When he arrived outside the village, the monkey jumped on his shoulder, and his voice finally became louder. He proudly showed off his unique skills to Hu Ma, but Hu Ma was just indifferent, looking absent-minded and not thinking much. respond to him.
“You…”
The monkey master actually didn't seem to care, he just smiled and said to Hu Ma: "I'm still too young to understand!"
"Doorway, doorway, once you enter the doorway, you are no longer the same as the people outside the door..."
…”
He may have seen Hu Ma's vague resistance to him, but he didn't know that Hu Ma had already harbored murderous intentions towards him several times. He just knew that he was still being stared at and that he was outnumbered and it was not time to take action. .
Now I patiently returned to Wutong Town. Someone had been meeting the old monkey at the entrance of the town for a long time, planning to take him to have a drink. He asked Hu Ma to go with him, but Hu Ma refused directly.
They took Huma back to the inn to rest, and then went to the Qianfeng Restaurant with the old monkey. The eldest young master of the Lu family had already prepared a table of wine and food. When the old monkey came back, he saw seven or eight moths flapping in his lantern. His face suddenly looked much better.
“How about it, Mr. Monkey, can that boy do it?”
But after sitting down and putting away the lantern, he was still worried and looked at the old monkey intently.
“There is no one more suitable than him.”
The old monkey smiled, drank a cup of wine, and said, "Don't worry, I can read people accurately."
"This is just a young kid who has just come out of the world. Even though he seems to know some rules, he was taught by his elders. He has never really come out."
"And although he endured it, it was obvious that he really couldn't accept my unique skill. This shows that he is definitely not in the treasure-holding industry. Otherwise, even if he has never done it, he has seen it before. , it won’t be such a big reaction.”
…”
Hearing what he said, Master Lu also lost his doubts and became a little hopeful: "Have you got the eight-character hair?"
“That’s not true.”
The old monkey shook his head and said: "After all, he is a watcher of the year, and he is very cautious. I can't go up and **** it away? These old bones are not enough for him to tear apart."
Mr. Lu looked a little regretful, shook his head, and whispered: "What's his name?"
The old monkey chuckled and called for paper and pen, but did not write.
Mr. Lu smiled helplessly, pointed out three fingers, and said, "Old monkey spirit, three hundred taels is enough, right?"
“Enough is enough.”
The old monkey agreed with a smile, wrote a few words on the paper, rolled it into a ball, threw it to Master Lu, and said with a smile: "This is a real name. I asked about his brother, and his name is the same. Listen, They look like they are of the same generation..."
"That's good. If you can keep a New Year's Watcher by your side, why don't you worry about not being able to help Mr. Qingyi? I'll remember this favor."
The young master Lu also opened it and took a look, put it away happily, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Here, let me toast you."
“Let’s start tomorrow, just hope everything goes well.”
…”
…”
“They should take action tomorrow.”
Similarly, in the inn at this time, Hu Ma seemed to outsiders to be in a low mood and depressed for a while after returning.
Xiao Hongtang next to her looked up at her several times, tentatively asking if she wanted to beat up the monkey squatting on the roof next door, but Hu Ma also shook his head to stop it, and after venting his anger, he still lay there silently. Went back to bed and slept.
But in the dream, the activity started immediately.
Diguashao has been waiting here for a long time. He explained these things in detail, and Diguashao was obviously a little surprised: "You call it soul magic?"
“The old man who brought a monkey...did one of his eyes be cloudy?”
…”
Hu Ma nodded: "It's him."
“Hey, it turns out it’s this old guy…”
After hearing this, Diguashao sneered and said, "He is also an old man and a scumbag. He was in Mingzhou Prefecture earlier and did several major cases, but he was kicked out later."
"I heard that he later joined the Tsing Yi Gang to make a living. However, his reputation was too bad and he had many enemies. Even in the Tsing Yi Gang, he did not dare to reveal his identity. But since he can call souls and is so familiar with it, I think it is probably him. .”
“He called this soul to break my magic.”
“Moreover, they called for souls, and they called at most ten people in one night. If he only called eight, he couldn’t be kind-hearted and let the remaining two go.”
"There is only one possibility, that is, they have called enough."
“So, I know my senior brother’s plan. They will definitely go up the mountain tomorrow.”
…”
“It would be nice if I could let you analyze the information.”
Hu Ma was with the old monkey. Although he was passive, he would ask questions from time to time, trying to figure out their action time so that he could cook the sweet potatoes.
I didn’t expect it, and I didn’t find out when I asked, but from the number of the soul, I was able to guess it.
He exhaled in a low voice, then said to Diguashao with a little solemnity: "By the way, are you familiar with this blind man? Tell me what his weaknesses are." "..."
Diguashao smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with him, but his method is a side sect from our sect, so I can tell you about it."
"What he uses, actually, we are not as advanced as my senior brother and I in this sect. It is called Impermanent Soul Retention Technique. It can summon the soul of a person and use it to cast spells, but his method is far from good."
"If you succeed in learning, secretly memorize a person's name and birthday, or even just trace a picture in secret, burn three sticks of incense at night, you can invite Master Impermanence to summon the soul, and tie a chain around your neck, no matter how big it is. There’s no point in using my skills.”
“What’s even more powerful is that as soon as I shine something on you, I will know your name and date of birth. I can use whatever tricks I want to use on you...”
"But before that, there is something important... your name and horoscope haven't been touched by him yet, right?"
…”
Hearing this, Hu Ma shook his head and said, "He doesn't know."
Because I had suffered a loss in Dayangzhai earlier, I was even more careful when I went out.
Look now...be even more careful in the future.
“That’s much better.”
Digua Shao said: "Senior, although you are a veteran and certainly have great abilities, you must remember not to let these people know your name."
“Even, from this moment on, you have to forget your own name.”
“They may not be able to get your horoscope, hair and beard, let alone your essence and blood, but just knowing your name, they already have many tricks they can use to plot against people.”
…”
“Is it so evil?”
Hu Ma was startled after hearing this and said, "Then what if we are acquaintances and face people from the Tormenting Soul Sect?"
“Hey, let’s put it that way!”
Di Guashao said: "Neither of us knows the name of the master until now. Moreover, although the master is nominally an old worshiper of the Tsing Yi Gang, he has always been a loner and lived in isolation. Even if he is a good friend, he does not want to let him go." My master is close to my husband and doesn’t want to eat at the same table."
"As for my senior brother, he was originally a wealthy family, so the master and I both knew his name at first, but he was also frightened. In the past three or four years, he changed his name three or four times, and had the maids and servants call him something else every day. .”
“As for me, when I was a child, I lived on the street and was picked up by my master. I actually remembered my original name, but I just said that I didn’t remember it, so my master gave me another name.”
“But I have never recognized it in my heart, and of course it cannot be regarded as my real name.”
…”
Hu Ma felt a little strange: "Do you people in this sect have such a hard life?"
Diguashao smiled helplessly and said, "Because I know how to treat others, of course I am careful about others using the same method to treat us."
“Anyway, it’s not just ours, there are many other doors in Xinghun. Just pay attention to them all the time.”
Immediately, the two chatted about some specific plans for the next day, including what Hu Mah had seen and heard at Mr. Lu's place that day, and even the clothes, looks, words and deeds of everyone around him, and even their dialects and accents, and the relationship between them. The names were all mentioned one by one, and then he exited.
At dawn, Hu Ma got up. Before he could finish his breakfast, he heard a commotion downstairs. It was Old Monkey who entered the inn. However, he was dressed in rags and was immediately expelled by the shopkeeper and the waiter.
He was not annoyed, he just laughed and joked with them.
He jumped out of the door when someone was about to fight. When someone turned around, he came in again. He didn't smile and waved until he saw Hu Ma appearing at the top of the stairs:
“Little brother, let’s go eat some steamed buns. I know one family’s steamed buns are big and white...”
…”
The shopkeeper and the waiter in the inn were a little surprised to see that he actually knew Hu Ma, and they didn't know what to do.
Hu Ma waved her hand, not bothering to joke with him. Earlier, everyone was happy when they heard the second master talk about meat. But now they just feel disgusted when they hear the old beggar talk about meat.
He lazily walked out and said to the old monkey: "How come the old gentleman is so capable and allows them to shout around?"
“How fun…”
The old monkey smiled and said: "Everyone looks down on me, so I don't feel guilty at all if I want to harm anyone."
Hu Ma glanced at him, but said no more unnecessary words.
The old monkey said he was taking Hu Ma to eat big, white buns, but in fact he went back to Qianfeng Tea House.
I saw that all the people I met yesterday were already here. The two men with sallow faces, the man named Zheng who could throw a knife, the man from the Jianghu in linen clothes, and the dull man who looked honest and friendly. There are all the men who can only giggle.
“We’ll have a full meal in the morning, and we’ll set off after noon to go to the Ma family ancestral hall.”
When the young master Lu saw Hu Ma coming in, he said: "I think my junior sister has been waiting there for a long time. This girl is young and good-looking, but she is sinister, cunning, and shameless. There is blood in other people's stomachs. She is so beautiful." My stomach is full of harmful bad water..."
“Although you are all veterans, you should be more vigilant to avoid falling into her trap.”
…”
Everyone was coping, thinking about what kind of opponent this was, but Hu Ma was slightly startled after hearing this: "Junior sister?"
You guys are too responsive. Yesterday I just missed the word "she" and I missed it. I will change it later so that new readers can't guess it.
