Twilight Boundary

Chapter 73: Taking care of things

I heard from Brother Erguotou earlier that there is a statue of a **** behind the incense table in the natal temple of other reincarnated people.

That was the manifestation of their lives, which could reflect their respective practices, and this also made them practice faster than ordinary people. But before, Hu Ma could only imagine what it was like, but behind his incense table, There was only darkness.

 But now, Hu Macai was trying out the method of keeping the year old for the first time, and he actually saw part of the statue.

Moreover, what he saw was exactly his left hand that he was practicing in death. Not only that, but the golden traces that appeared in his left hand were also completely consistent with the path of his practice when he just tried to practice. It can even be said that it is not bad at all.

“Can I, the idol of God, also be seen and practiced?”

Hu Ma was surprised and happy. After reading it carefully, he became more and more sure of his guess.

But except for the golden traces that appeared on the left hand, the other places were still lifeless and unchanged.

“Is it because my body is dead, so this statue is also lifeless and cannot be seen clearly?”

“I am now trying to practice with my left hand, and the left hand of the statue is also revealed for the first time?”

　　　…”

I had a guess in my mind for a moment, but I was still not sure.

 But Hu Ma knew that the matter about this idol was the biggest difference between him and other reincarnated people.

Even if you have questions yourself, it’s hard to ask others.

So he made some speculations and decided to keep silent and continue trying.

Sure enough, as he began to practice the method of observing the New Year's Eve and practicing refining, the third stick of life incense in the incense burner began to burn faster, turning into wisps of life, soaking into the meridians and blood vessels of his left hand, as if to reawaken the vitality of his left hand.

This is consistent with the method taught by the old shopkeeper, but what surprises Hu Ma the most is that all the meridians and blood vessels through which the anger has passed are manifested on the left hand of the statue.

Even in order to confirm, Hu Ma had the courage to deliberately put a ray of anger into the wrong context.

 And corresponding marks immediately appeared on the left hand of the statue.

But the color is that of a strange bloodline, and there is a faint hint of the meridians being impacted, as if they are constantly being broken.

 He quickly retracted that ray of anger, already having an answer in his heart.

"Very good…"

 I couldn't describe the joy in my heart at the moment: "After enduring for so long, I finally have the benefits that other reincarnations have?"

Earlier, he learned the secret of staying up late from the old shopkeeper, and he felt a little uneasy.

 When you can’t get any Dharma teachings, you just want to seek Dharma.

 After getting it, I was also worried, what if the old shopkeeper was hiding something, what if he taught me wrongly on purpose?

 In this strange world, even if you learn the cultivation method, you are still walking on thin ice and cautious. Especially in the Shou Sui Man method of turning from life to death, and from death to life, you have to work **** the details, and the meridians in various parts of the body are intertwined.

Practicing this method is like a blind man's embroidery. Although he is careful, his embroidery may go wrong somewhere, leaving hidden dangers. Only when something goes wrong can he understand.

 But now, it is reflected all the time and there are no worries.

Thinking of this, Hu Ma felt even more at ease. She seized the opportunity and silently performed the exercises, becoming more and more skilled and sophisticated.

 After a night, Hu Ma felt refreshed.

His left hand was wrapped in cloth and hung around his neck. This was because his left hand was "dead" and would not obey his orders.

 This is a process that all watchers must go through. They must first kill a part of themselves and then practice living. But with flax, you can actually skip the "death" step and only need to cut off the blood supply of this part.

 I borrowed an oil lamp at the beginning and let it go naturally. Maybe I can save the oil lamp in the future.

Of course, I still need to take care of myself now. Even after practicing this night, I can already feel the slight warmth in my left hand, but it is not yet flexible enough to control it. In addition, it is not convenient for others to see my left hand. So I just wrapped it up.

 Others only thought that he was injured last night and did not suspect anything else.

 In the outer courtyard, all the waiters had already gotten up. When they saw him, they all gathered around him and tried to please him.

Yesterday, because of Xu Ji's death and the fact that they had been running around all night and were frightened, they were all a little listless. When they came back from a rest this night, they also knew that certain changes had occurred in the yard. Looking at Hu Ma again, they felt a little more... Look at the awe of the superior.

 After all, he has come under the discernment of the old shopkeeper. Not to mention what skills he has learned, his status alone makes a difference.

From this day on, Hu Ma not only held the position of steward, but also had the identity of steward.

Every month’s money, food and blood must also be given according to the management.

 “Don’t just stand there.”

Hu Ma saw the emotions floating in the hearts of the guys, waved his hands and said: "Working hard is the right thing to do."

The other guys looked at him as if he had picked up a fight, but they didn't dare to complain.

　　But seeing them turn around, Hu Ma also thought about it and added: "At noon, I will go and cut some meat and hang it on the account in the cupboard."

“You also worked hard yesterday, so you can replenish your health.”

　　　…”

The waiters were stunned for a moment, then cheered, and looked at Hu Ma with a little more affection.

This is also the difference between Hu Ma and Xu Ji's work. Xu Ji took the position of steward at that time and just ordered the clerks to do this and that. He was close to the shopkeeper, but when he saw the clerks, they all had a straight face.

Now that Hu Ma has become the real manager, they are actually worried that Hu Ma could not pretend to be close to them in the past. Once the goal is achieved, he will change his face.

 If he is really like this, the guys can't say anything.

 After all, just the night before yesterday, Xu Ji shouted something, and most people followed him. But now that Hu Ma suddenly said that he wanted to give extra meals to all the guys, it undoubtedly meant that he had canceled all previous matters and wanted to get close to others.

 No one is unhappy thinking that life will be better in the future.

 “Hu…Brother Hu Ma…”

Just as he watched the guys cheering and going to work, and seemed to be more energetic in sweeping the yard, Hu Ma turned around and heard a weak voice calling, but it was Li Wazi.

He looked pale, held on to the doorframe, and called out to Hu Ma. Suddenly his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, crying: "Brother Hu Ma, I know I am wrong, but you are still kind to me..."

 “Don’t say this, get up first!”

Hu Ma frowned, picked him up, looked him up and down, and said, "Are you okay?"

 The night before yesterday, Li Wazi was dragged into the well by a ghost, and his body became stiff. Although Hu Ma brought him back, he didn't know whether he could survive.

The shopkeeper in the inner courtyard gave him a pill and poured it in with water. He woke up, but he was still in a daze. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be up now, and he seemed to be unable to speak. Normal.

 “I...I’m fine...”

Li Wazi seemed to be very weak. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to cry again: "That Xu Ji is not a good person. He only wants to bully others..."

“They said, they said if they hadn’t gone down into the well and fished me out naked, I would have been dead…”

　　　…”

 “No wonder he looked so moved...”

Hu Ma understood what was going on and saw everyone around her watching, so she helped Li Wazi into the house.

 Actually, he had no intention of saving Li Wazi. He thought he was dead at first and was a little surprised that he could wake up.

However, Li Wazi obviously heard others say that he went into the well to fish him out, and the emotion he felt at this moment was not fake.

Of course Hu Ma doesn’t have to say this clearly.

 It’s so rare to be confused!

He helped Li Wazi, who was weak, to sit on the bed and observed carefully. Although Li Wazi woke up, he was still a strong young man a day ago. He would drool when he saw a sheep's butt, which weighed fifty pounds. Holding the stone roller in your hand is like playing with it.

But now he looks very weak, as if he has been given sixty times in one night, and his throat and eyes are full of life.

 “Abolished…”

Hu Ma understood it in her heart, but she didn't say it clearly.

The reason why these young men were selected into the Red Lantern Lady Club was because they had raised a fire and the fire was not shallow.

Li Wazi was dragged into the well by a ghost. An ordinary person would have died long ago.

But because Li Wazi had a fire in his body, he resisted for a while longer, but he was able to hold on only by consuming the fire in the furnace. Although he survived now, the fire in his belly was gone. There is no existence, and even the body has been eroded by Yin Qi.

 He is worse than ordinary people now.

“Datong, stop peeking at the beams and pillars, come in!”

Understanding this, Hu Ma shouted to the door. Zhou Datong came in together with Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu from Dayangzhai. Seeing Li Wazi's appearance, his expression softened a bit. He was usually disgusted. , but the young man’s mind is not so hateful.

“I am indeed dissatisfied with what you did before, and neither are Datong and brothers Liang and Zhu.”

When everyone was gathered, Hu Ma looked at Li Wazi and said seriously: "We are brothers from the same village. You don't believe us."

 “But you insist on trusting others?”

　　　…”

Li Wazi listened, and his pale face turned pale with shame.

"Speaking of which, it's your own fault. I shouldn't have saved you."

Hu Ma continued to say to Li Wazi: "But the second master told me before he left that we all come from the same village, and it is not good for anyone to be left behind."

"The four of us are doing a good job here. If something happens to you, how can we explain it in front of your parents when you return to the village? Just watch other people's houses decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, but your house has to hang up white robes. Damn it, go put incense on your grave?"

“Or maybe, if we can’t survive together, you’ll be the only one to take care of us, and you’ll be prosperous when you return to the village?”

　　　…”

After saying these words, Zhou Datong was startled for a moment, and his smile became less smiley.

Zhou Datong and Zhou Liang Zhao Zhu felt that these words spoke to their hearts, and looked at Hu Ma with admiration.

As for Li Wazi, he just nodded and couldn't say anything.

Hu Ma also sighed and said no more. He just waved his hand and said, "Take good care of yourself here. I won't tell the shopkeeper about your physical condition, otherwise I will definitely send you back."

Li Wazi was ashamed and excited, and almost knelt down again.

 The other young men who came out of the village were also clumsy and not good at speaking.

 But everything is left unsaid.

The first-order result came out, 17,265, which is quite a surprise. Thank you all for your love, and we will continue to work hard!
