Twilight Boundary

Chapter 74 Evil spirits in the countryside

 It should be comforted and comforted, and it should be warned.

Hu Ma deeply remembered what the second master said to her before he left. She did not use the arrogance unique to reincarnations to understand the world. She accepted the favors from the village calmly, but the second master told her to take care of the others. These words also Do your best.

 After all, the treasure left by the second master has been used as a favor by himself, so he can't turn his back on it.

 As for this village, of course there are some things that even Hu Ma doesn’t like.

 But the village is like this.

They are the ones who are greedy and stupid, and turn their backs on others just for some benefit. They are the ones who don't need to call out when something happens, they just come to help directly.

They are the ones who are unreasonable and only recognize people who are close and distant, and they are the ones who pick up a guy and come to fight regardless of the reason.

 The people born in the village are like this, whether they are good or bad.

I do have a choice now. As a reincarnated person, I can abandon them and focus on myself, but I can also help each other if conditions permit without affecting my own goals. Hu Ma has temporarily chosen the latter.

 After all, my mother-in-law said that Dayangzhai is the root of the Hu family.

Of course, Hu Ma’s understanding is one thing. On the face of it, with the help of the brothers in Dayangzhaizi who work together, many things will indeed be easier to handle.

In this outer courtyard, Hu Ma, as the manager, took over a dozen of these guys, some of whom he didn't know at all before and are not familiar with now, and a few who were left over by Xu Ji, who were even in a state of hostility with him before. .

　　It actually takes a lot of energy to arrange all the big and small things in this outer courtyard.

In the past, I could arrange things well because I wanted to show off and go all out. But now, I have to leave enough energy for myself to practice the method of staying up late. I focus on these things every day, work hard, and occasionally make troubles. Impatient things.

 But with Zhou Datong and the others taking the lead, things were much easier to handle.

Performing night patrols, sweeping, feeding horses and buying grain, fetching water and chopping firewood, one by one, all done step by step.

With their help, Hu Ma turned on the fire every day to refine his left hand.

The key to the secret of being a New Year's Watcher is between life and death.

Now, as the fire of his refining method gradually deepens, there are some wonderful changes.

This left hand was completely cold at first, and I couldn't even feel its presence. However, as I practiced the refining method, I gradually felt a slight warmth in this hand.

Later, the warmth became more and more intense, and I gradually began to feel the soreness and pain in this hand. After a while, I was able to test it out, move my fingers little by little, and clenched my fist a little...

 “It’s such a magical feeling to be born from death…”

 This is the first part of Hu Ma's cultivation, and he pays special attention to it, remembering every detail.

 He could feel that his left hand was coming to life, but it was different from the feeling of being alive before.

 First of all, this hand has life, but it is not the kind of life that Xue Tai Sui forcibly aroused.

Furthermore, refining this left hand actually made him feel some wonderful things that he could not imagine before.

 The energy, blood, bones and flesh are all full and powerful, as if some mysterious power has been inspired.

 I want to be greatly tempered between life and death.

With his daily practice, this left hand has gradually developed abilities that are different from ordinary people, just like a hammer in a furnace.

 “How is your cultivation going?”

As for the shopkeeper, he seemed to be a cold-faced person. He did not teach the Dharma and then ignored everything.

 At least every two or three days, I still call Hu Ma over to ask about the progress of my practice.

Humabi also answered honestly: "It was cold at first, not like my own, but gradually it became a little warmer."

Of course, it just looks honest.

In fact, Hu Ma skipped the step of "transforming into death" and had the statue of his natal **** to see him, which saved a lot of detours. Coupled with the three pillars of Taoism, he could practice Qigong to his heart's content. His speed in practicing was far faster than that of ordinary people. Come on, now you have three fingers that can move.

 But these cannot be told truthfully.

If you enter the country too quickly, you will inevitably arouse suspicion, and you will not be able to explain it later.

  “Not bad.”

The shopkeeper asked him several times, and there was progress every time. He seemed satisfied. He nodded lightly and said, "To be able to achieve such an advance, it seems that he has put in hard work."

"But it's not a good thing to stay in Zhuangzi all day long to do your work. It's not a bad thing for you to learn more about things outside Zhuangzi now. If you have the ability, you have to accumulate some experience."

“There has been some trouble in Shiya Village, seven miles away, and the village chief came to look for me yesterday.”

 “Go over and take a look and let them deal with it!”

　　　…”

Hu Ma thought of Zhuangzi's responsibility and nodded in agreement: "Let's go now."

The Red Lantern Lady Guild is set up in Zhuangzi all over the country, and they often have the ability to get rid of evil spirits. The original intention is just to clear away the evil spirits around so as to avoid trouble in the spring. But the villagers see that they are very capable, and if something happens, they often come to their homes. Come and ask for their help.

Earlier, it was the shopkeeper who took the initiative, and the guys didn’t have this skill yet.

 But now, I thought that as the shopkeeper, I wanted to experience myself, and since I was already the manager of this village, I agreed.

"Datong, ask Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu to go out with me!" After asking about the reason, Hu Ma left the inner courtyard and called some of the people he trusted most.

Zhou Datong was sitting on the millstone bragging. When he heard this, he knew it was a good thing and hurriedly came closer.

Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu didn't care about anything else. One took a stick from the yard, and the other weighed the manure fork.

Now is the free time, and the guys in Zhuangzi are not equipped with weapons. Next spring when Zhuangzi eats blood, they will be equipped with weapons. Therefore, the only few swords and guns in the hands of the guys in Zhuangzi are them. I brought it with me when I came to Zhuangzi.

For example, Zhou Datong had one. It was passed down from his ancestors, and Xu Ji's two followers also had one each.

Humah can be borrowed from the two of them, but Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu are not covetous of their little things.

Especially Zhao Zhu, who loves to use dung fork.

He said that his father liked to use this when fighting with people in the village, and it had unexpected and wonderful effects.

The four of them left Zhuangzi one after another, not knowing what to do. The guys next to them didn't say anything when they saw it.

 Normally, although Hu Ma is not as arrogant as Xu Ji was at the beginning, he is willing to take care of those who should be taken care of.

This nighttime work is tight and in the early days, naturally Zhou Datong is the main.

 Those who did the boring chores in the outer courtyard were of course Xu Ji's two lackeys.

Even Li Wa, who had suffered a fundamental injury before and was now very ill, was arranged by Hu Ma to light the fire under the stove and do some light work.

Eccentric?

 It is indeed biased.

 But we come from the same village, why should I not think of our people in advance?

This kind of thing is not something that people in Dayangzhai take for granted. Even other guys in the outer courtyard think that this kind of behavior is reasonable.

Even Xu Ji's two followers, although they had to do more chores every day and were tired, they didn't complain at all.

After all, Xu Ji was dead and Hu Ma was in charge. They didn't push him out, they didn't target him in everything, they didn't withhold all his monthly blood and food, or they didn't blackmail him in private. This is a good thing that can make you burn your head and kowtow to the Buddha.

Now their task is to try their best to flatter Zhou Datong, hoping that Hu Ma and others can forget the previous unpleasantness.

 …

There are horses in the stable, but Hu Ma and the others haven't brought them out either.

 Firstly, I haven’t learned how to use public utensils for private use yet, and secondly, the distance is short and it only takes a few steps.

Following the yellow mud path in the countryside, they arrived at the Shiya Village that the shopkeeper mentioned in just one stick of incense.

From a distance, you can see that the houses here are scattered and built against the mountains. They are blocked by the trees in the mountains. The sun is not visible for half of the day.

Now, at the head of the village, there were already some elderly people from the village leading the villagers to greet them. They hurriedly came forward, but when they saw Hu Ma and others, the villagers looked a little surprised.

I thought it was the old shopkeeper who came, but when I saw a few young people, I felt a little guilty.

However, among the crowd watching the excitement, a man from Huanggou Village came to visit. When he saw Huma walking in front, his eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered to the surrounding villagers: "You must have some idea in your mind, the one walking in front is... The young master is so awesome!"

“It’s not that you don’t know how powerful the business in the well in our village was earlier, it was this young man who solved it.”

　　　…”

Hearing this, the villagers looked at Hu Ma with a little more awe, and hurriedly invited Hu Ma and others into the village.

“Brother Hu Ma, you have to do something nice and give them a show of strength.”

Zhou Datong followed Hu Ma, looking at Kongzi and whispering: "It's done beautifully the first time, and everything in the future will be convenient!"

 “You know a lot.”

Hu Ma glanced at him and smiled inwardly.

Zhou Datong is really not talking nonsense. The village outside Laoyin Mountain is very different from the village inside Laoyin Mountain, but they are essentially the same.

People in the village can either respect themselves like they respect the old shopkeeper, showing the simplicity and kindness of the villagers, or they can work in secret in front of them, allowing themselves to feel the warmth and warmth of people in the countryside. The specifics depend on it. own performance.

 “Is this the place?”

 Surrounded by the villagers, he soon arrived in front of a house in the village.

It seems that the family is well off. They have built three large tile-roofed houses and built a stone yard. There is a big pigsty inside. A plainly dressed woman with her head covered is feeding the pigs. When she sees people from the village coming, she cries. , threw the wooden spoon and hid back in the house.

Hu Ma glanced at it and saw that everything was normal, so he asked: "What's going on here?"

 “Nothing during the day.”

The elders in the village were mysterious and said: "Someone came over at night to steal pig food!"

 “What the hell?”

Hu Ma was stunned when he heard this: "Is there anyone who secretly eats this?"
