Twilight Boundary

Chapter 18 Xiao Hongtang delivering food

yes!

As long as a person is alive, his body will continuously produce heat, or Yang Qi.

 So, Er Ye’s method is very simple, which is to accumulate this yang energy and guide it into his own "stove".

The hotter the furnace burns, the stronger the person will be, the more yang energy will be sufficient, and the less afraid of evil spirits. Even things like Tai Sui meat are only very nourishing and can make the body produce more Yang Qi, which can make your stove burn brightly.

 But if a person doesn’t have any yang energy at all without eating Tai Sui meat, what’s going on?

 Dead man!

Only the dead are freezing cold and have no heat at all.

 Let alone using your usual heat to perform meritorious deeds and light up the furnace, the fire that has already been lit may be extinguished.

 …

Hu Ma thought about all this and couldn't help but feel horrified in her heart.

He realized his problem, that is, the strong fire he lit last night was actually just an illusion.

 Last night, I was able to light the stove smoothly. Is it because of the Tai Sui meat or blood Tai Sui I ate before? This kind of strange nourishing food allowed me to light the stove smoothly, and my body was even as warm as a normal person.

 However, when the heat went into the stove and the Tai Sui meat he had eaten had been completely digested, he was suddenly brought back to his original shape...

 This body cannot be produced by even a trace of fire power.

 According to Erye, this is the body of a dead person.

This body has always been cold. Not only will it not produce new firepower in normal times, it will even consume the "fire" in the stove. Until I eat meat again at Er Ye's place, I am still a valuable Qing Tai Sui. This body The body just warmed up.

Only then can you continue to guide this fire into your own furnace.

“So, why did I suddenly wake up from the cold in the early hours of the morning?”

He already had an answer in his mind: "Because I didn't eat the meat given by my mother-in-law all day yesterday."

 Once you stop eating that kind of meat, your body will become cold.

Not only can it not fill the fire in the furnace, it will even consume the fire in the furnace little by little.

 What will happen once the fire burns out?

Huma couldn’t even imagine it.

 …

 …

“Okay, you have a lot to learn, so come in little by little.”

The second master didn't know what Hu Ma was thinking, so he urged him to finish the pieces of meat in the bowl quickly and leave the main room.

After eating this bowl of green Tai Sui, Hu Ma felt that everything was normal.

 He couldn't feel any difference between himself now and when he was alive in his previous life. He was just as energetic and his body was as warm.

Moreover, the "Xing Gong" method that Erye taught me last night can be easily used by myself, and the heat that is constantly growing in the body will be directed to the furnace in the lower abdomen.

 He felt that he was no different from the teenagers around him.

 In other words, my condition should be much better than theirs, right? They only have so much to eat in a day.

 What I eat is a big bowl of Qing Tai Sui.

But…

…well!

 The only thing I don’t understand now is the reason for this state of affairs.

Is it because of some problems with his original body, or because of his status as a "reincarnator"?

 …

 …

“You are following the Second Master to learn the skills of worshiping Tai Sui and to make money and start a family.”

At this time, the second master had already gathered all the young people together and was training loudly: "The second master has nothing to teach you. The first thing is to light the stove. If you don't light the stove, you can't even think of joining the meat cutting team. But if you light the stove, you can't join the meat cutting team." , and it’s just the beginning.”

"You guys have to run in the mountains, bask in the sun, and practice postures. The stronger your body, the stronger your yang energy, and the stronger your courage, the brighter your fire will be..."

“Of course, the best thing is to eat Tai Sui, but I can’t even afford it, so don’t even think about it.”

　　　…”

The second master made no secret of his disdain for the group of young men in the village, but he paused and said: "So, there is only one trick to learn skills from the second master. You have to endure hardship and be patient. The most important thing is not to think about it. Girls.”

“Only when you endure hardship can your body become strong, your yang energy strong, courageous, ruthless, and strong-tempered, and you can ward off evil spirits like a butcher.”

"In my place, Second Master, I am not afraid of your skin, nor are I afraid of your fights. There are many black oils on us. The only thing I'm afraid of is that you can't control your temper. If you don't learn well at a young age, our village will fall outside the village. You are attracted to women when you see them."

“Oh, for the sake of you little brats, I don’t even dare to raise sheep…”

“Come on, come on, let’s fight today. When we’re done, I’ll go patrolling the woods with you!”

　　　…”

The teenagers cheered as they listened. At this age, Hu Ma envied his energetic appearance.

 But he was in a trance, how could he have the intention to get involved in this excitement?

 "Little Huma, come here..."

However, the second master didn't know what Hu Ma was thinking at this time. Seeing him standing aside distractedly, he thought he couldn't keep up with the progress and couldn't fit in, so he smiled and waved to him: "Don't be afraid, our technique is simple, and there are many After a few fights, you will know how to do it..."

"this…"

Hu Ma was actually not interested, but he could only step forward. Just as he was thinking about what to say, a phantom call suddenly sounded in his ears: "Brother Hu Ma, I'm here to bring you food..."

　　　…”

 “Xiao Hongtang?”

Hu Ma heard the voice and subconsciously turned her head, only to see Xiao Hongtang hiding outside the door with only her little head sticking out.

 He turned around subconsciously and walked outside Zhuangzi.

The second master was surprised: “Where are you going?”

Hu Ma quickly pointed to the door and said, "Someone is looking for me. Maybe it's my mother-in-law."

 “Is your mother-in-law here?”

Second Master was also surprised. The young people who had been busy just now suddenly lowered their voices, looked stunned, and murmured:

 “Have you seen anyone?”

"No, they all say that the Hu family is a ghost. He is..."

 “It can’t be that you’re afraid of being beaten and you’re just pretending, right?”

　　　…”

“Brother Huma, why don’t you come out yet…”

Outside, Xiao Hongtang's screams became more urgent. Hu Ma was surprised and walked out. The second master was worried and followed him.

When I got to the door, I saw a bamboo basket about the same size as Xiao Hongtang lying on the ground. It was covered with a piece of red cloth. Xiao Hongtang was nowhere to be seen. The second master looked at the basket and breathed a sigh of relief. Angry: "It's really that girl, go ahead!"

With that said, he put his hands behind his back and returned to Zhuangzi.

Hu Ma stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi Courtyard. When the second master returned to Zhuangzi, Xiao Hongtang followed along the street and walked over.

Hu Ma hurriedly walked over and asked in a low voice: "Where is my mother-in-law?"

I had a question in my mind that I wanted to ask my mother-in-law, but I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He realized that this problem might be very serious, but he vaguely felt that he could not ask the second master directly about this problem.

 It’s better to ask your mother-in-law.

 “My mother-in-law went into the mountains to look for someone.”

Xiao Hongtang squatted on the ground, looked at the basket in front of her, and said, "Let Xiao Hongtang bring you food."

 “Sending food?”

Hima opened the red cloth on the basket and saw a large bowl of square meat inside.

 blood Tai Sui.

There was even a plate next to it with two large white-flour steamed buns on it.

 “When will your mother-in-law come over?”

Hu Ma took a deep look at the bowl of meat and was deeply aware of its importance.

 “Mother-in-law didn’t say anything.”

Xiao Hongtang just squatted opposite the basket, holding her cheeks with her two small hands, and said to Hu Ma, "But my mother-in-law asked me to bring you a message."

"She said that brother Hu Ma, just stay with Er Ye and learn your skills. If you feel cold at night, don't be afraid. Anyway, just eat meat. Tai Sui meat can cure diseases. Let's eat more. Eat too much. Stove Even more prosperous than others..."

 “However, you are just right, you have to use your strength sparingly, don’t tire yourself out...”

　　　…”

"this…"

The way Xiao Hongtang imitated her mother-in-law's speech was very cute, but Hu Ma couldn't care less. These words spoken in her mother-in-law's tone suddenly made his heart sink slightly.

Mother-in-law, have you guessed in advance the problems you will encounter after lighting the stove?

She deliberately said these words, it must not be without aim, but more like reassurance for herself.

There is no firewood in my stove, so I can't burn it.

 So she comforted herself, or promised herself that she could eat blood Tai Sui every day?

In other words, what she actually means is that although her body cannot automatically burn the stove now, as long as she keeps eating blood and the stove burns more and more vigorously, then the state of her body can also slowly change. of?

 Even better than others?

I couldn't be sure for a moment, but looking at Xiao Hongtang's cute and silly look, I knew I couldn't ask.

She was just running an errand to deliver something or deliver a message.

After being silent for a long time, Hu Ma picked up the bowl and said to Xiao Hongtang: "Tell my mother-in-law, I will remember it."

 “Then eat!”

Xiao Hongtang smiled and narrowed her eyes: "After you finish eating, Xiao Hongtang still needs to take the basket back to check with her mother-in-law..."

 “Xiao Hongtang is very obedient and has not eaten anything secretly, although...”

　　… “…I really want to eat it.”

　　　…”

Looking at Xiao Hongtang's pitiful eyes, Hu Ma nodded and said, "Well, I can see it!"

 Speaking, he continued to eat.
