Twilight Boundary: Chapter 187 black mirror

Chapter 187 The dark mirror shines upon people

On this day, Zhuangzi opened the door early in the morning and hung the Red Lantern Lady's lantern in the yard. Even the neighbors who came to burn paper to pay their wishes were told to wait and come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

。

　　Until night fell, Hu Ma was already preparing to arrange for people to patrol the night, but unexpectedly, a gong sounded outside Zhuangzi.

The guys in the village hurriedly looked around, but were suddenly blown by a dark wind, and they all shuddered.

At some point a thin mist rose up outside, and it was cold and bone-chilling.

The eyes of people and the light of the lanterns in the village seemed to be blocked, unable to shine more than two feet away.

As the mist poured into the village, seven or eight figures appeared, all wearing green trousers, with their upper bodies bare, and a strange little pigtail tied behind their head. Two wisps of blush were dazzling, and the shape said It's so weird and funny that it doesn't look like a living person.

They came surrounded by a sedan chair, but there was no one sitting on the sedan chair. Instead, a rusty iron mask was placed, vaguely looking like an evil ghost.

 Hu Ma saw it when the Red Lantern Club was fighting with the Tsing Yi Gang. It was the mask of the Tsing Yi Evil Ghost, which was the same as the Red Lantern Lady's lantern.

"this…"

 Suddenly seeing such a group of ghostly guys rushing into the village, everyone's hearts trembled and they turned around to look.

 “Don’t lose face when distinguished guests come to your door, let alone lose your courage.”

Hu Ma shouted calmly, scolded the guys in the village, and then slowly walked forward to greet them.

“Under the Red Lantern Lady’s seat, Hu Ma, the shopkeeper of Qingshi branch, is waiting for Master Qingyi, and senior brother Qingyi is waiting for you..."

　　There must be scenes that should be there.

The Tsing Yi Gang and the Red Lantern Club are at loggerheads. The Red Lantern Club privately calls Mr. Tsing Yi the Tsing Yi Devil. The Tsing Yi Gang also calls the Red Lantern Lady unpleasant in private. But that is in private. When it comes to the surface, they still Be polite and call the other person "Sir".

"whee…"

The boys in green were all laughing and shaking their heads after hearing Hu Ma's polite words.

But before they could answer, a man with a Chinese character's face and a brocade robe appeared out of the thick fog.

He looked at Hu Ma with a cold smile on his face: "Hello, Shopkeeper Xiao Hu..."

“We said goodbye after the fight in Zhumen Town and never saw you again. I have been thinking about you..."

　　　…”

 “Zheng Daxiang Master…”

Hu Ma looked at this man, breathed out slowly, met his gaze, and said calmly: "I have been thinking about Master Zheng Xiang coming, but I didn't expect that you have so many things to do, that you have come at this time. When we get to my village..."

"hehe…"

Zheng Xiangzhu stepped forward slowly, looked around, and said calmly: "I followed the order of the empress and took the senior brothers in Qingyi to look for people."

“We have searched all the 17 Zhuangzi in the Red Lantern Club. Of course, we must start with the Zhuangzi with the largest number of people and the most capable people. After this one by one, of course you will be the last one here..."

“…Everyone is here? No one is hiding, right?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma said: "There are nine people from Qingshi Town's counter including me, and they are all here."

"Master Zheng Daxiang is so serious about doing things for Master Qingyi, how dare I delay your great work on such a trivial matter?"

"I just don't know who you are looking for, but who are you looking for?"

　　　…”

Zheng Xiangzhu heard that Hu Ma was neither humble nor arrogant, even a little sarcastic, but he didn't take it seriously.

The thing is so strange. Earlier, when he didn't break up, he was holding a fight in front of Hu Ma. Even if Hu Ma said something unpleasant, he would reprimand her with shame. Now that he is breaking up, let alone yin and yang. , even if he yelled, he didn't care.

 “Only nine people?”

He just smiled coldly and said: "Then call everyone between the ages of fifteen and twenty!"

“You don’t have to ask about anyone you’re looking for. Senior brothers in Qingyi will understand when they take a look.”

　　　…”

“Fifteen to twenty-five, then all of us in Zhuangzi are indispensable. We all need to come here and take pictures..."

Long before they came, Hu Ma had already understood the process of their arrival at each village, and was not surprised. Moreover, before they came, Hu Ma had already smeared the soil dug from the old tree stump on his chest. The shelter of the tree stump naturally brings peace of mind.

Therefore, he took a step forward and said: "Then everyone in my village must take a look, even me, the shopkeeper, is no exception. Let's start with me!"

Zheng Daxiang was a little surprised when he heard this.

He looked for people in various villages, but rarely took photos of those shopkeepers. After all, most shopkeepers were over this age group, but it was different here. He originally wanted Hu Ma to take a photo, but he didn't expect that Hu Ma didn't need him to say anything. He stood up directly.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around with a smile and bowed to the ghostly boys in green clothes: "Brothers, please come!"

 “Easy to say, easy to say!”

The boys in green clothes laughed and answered, their voices as sharp as those of young children. These people are comparable to the disciples of Hongxiang, or in other words, they are very close to the evil ghosts in blue. They are the most loyal group of spirit-bearing people, and they should be compared with the incense burners.

Each of them was contaminated with too many evil spirits, and they looked more like ghosts than people. Seeing Hu Ma stand up, two of them jumped forward, holding two ends of a strange round mirror, and looked at Hu Ma. , took the photo directly.

"Um?"

Humah looks calm and composed on the surface, but actually he is tense in his heart.

 Senior Old Tree Stump gave him the mud, saying that it could hide him from the other party's prying eyes, but he only said that "it should be possible".

If an accident occurs, it will be a big trouble...

But there are some things that I can't avoid, so I can only bite the bullet, puff up my chest, and look at the mirror.

Looking at it, I felt that it was suddenly full of ghosts, and a gloomy energy rushed over me, as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe in the cold winter.

He felt like he was being watched from beginning to end by some powerful being, but he also stared at the mirror, only to see that there seemed to be black ripples on the mirror surface, and something vaguely flashed from the mirror surface. Passed by and disappeared immediately.

Under the mirror, a faint red line rose a few fingers and then stopped moving.

 “It’s not him, it’s not him.”

The group of boys in green clothes looked at the mirror and kept saying: "It's not even close, it's not even close."

Master Zheng Daxiang narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head slowly, smiled again and said, "Brothers, please take a look at others."

　　“Is this level over?”

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside.

He just said he wasn't nervous, but he was lying. Old Shuzhu also said he wasn't sure. If something went wrong with him, he really didn't know if he would have any room to resist in front of the devil in blue. .

Even if the senior from Laoyin Mountain agrees to help, he still has to be able to enter Laoyin Mountain...

However, now it seems that the old tree stump's magic power is still deep. Although he said that he was not sure, the soil he gave could easily break the opponent's magic power.

This was lingering in my mind like a hanging sword, and it took me more than half a month to break through this level so easily.

 He glanced at Zheng Daxiang Master, but saw that he also had his eyes lowered, and he didn't seem to have any other reaction to his ability to escape this hurdle.

Thinking about the noble man above, no matter what he did, he would not dare to do anything wrong.

　　However, when I felt a little relaxed, I also became curious.

What exactly are these people looking at?

There is a red line rising up on the mirror, and there are scratches like those on the mirror frame. What does this measure?

While he was thinking about it, the other guys came up one after another to take a look, but the speed was not slow. Everyone stood on the mirror and it only took three breaths to finish taking a look.

Moreover, Hu Ma looked at it and saw that the length of the red line illuminated by each person was different. Some were as long as three fingers, some were a foot, or a foot and a half.

 For these people, the boy in green clothes and others didn't even bother to look at them. They just took a brief look and rushed to the side.

 Seeing that the guys were all taking pictures, Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang, Zhao Zhu and others who helped arrange for the guys to come over also came over.

First Li Wazi walked up from the kitchen. He was as thin as a pole and seemed to be able to fall over if the wind blew. No one else took him seriously, but he stood in front of the mirror and was shocked.

I saw the red line suddenly rising up, and it actually exceeded two feet. It was the tallest among those who had ever seen it.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on his face.

Li Wazi suddenly panicked and looked towards Hu Ma: "Brother Mazi, this..."

Hu Ma was also startled. He glanced at the face of the boy in green and then looked at Zheng Xiangzhu, trying to see if he was responsible.

Zheng Xiangzhu lowered his eyelids and said nothing. He only said slowly: "There are a few more, let's take pictures together!"

The last ones who didn't take the photo were Zhou Datong and others. They were helping to maintain order, so they happened to be at the back.

With Li Wazi in front, the boys in green clothes seemed to be excited. They hurriedly brought the mirror over and looked at them. In the black lenses, Zhou Datong, Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu flashed through one by one. s face.

 Suddenly, a horrifying scene appeared. The red line in the mirror suddenly soared.

 Zhao Zhushi was okay, a little over two feet, about the same as Li Wazi.

By the time he arrived at Zhou Liang, it had already reached two and a half feet. At the same time as Zhou Da, it was almost three feet, almost reaching the red line.

At this moment, the whole Zhuangzi suddenly became quiet, and everyone was silent, with only the cold wind blowing.

 “Four, four…”

On the other side, the boys in green were already overjoyed. They grinned, shook their heads, jumped up and down, pointed at Zhou Datong and the others and shouted, some said: "Three, three..."

As he was talking, someone actually took out a chain.

Zheng Xiangzhu lowered his eyelids. After a long while, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Since the photo has come out, take it away!"
