Twilight Boundary

Chapter 92 Four ghosts knock on the door

 Old shopkeeper, you are such a nice person.

He explained it to Hu Ma in detail, and Hu Ma felt the magic of this method of keeping the year old.

This unique skill is called Four Ghosts Knocking on the Door.

 To put it bluntly, it is derived from the postures that Hu Ma and the others usually practice.

The predecessor of the watcher is the stove. As long as the person who lights the stove learns the corresponding moves, he can cause the fire to rise, thereby exorcising evil spirits. And if he fights with others, with the blessing of the fire, he can also The force is so powerful that few people can get close.

It’s just that these moves consume a lot of fire. Every time a move is performed, the fire is lost by one point...

If you can get blood food to nourish you, then there is no need to guard against it. If you use it, it will be more cooked.

Without nourishing food and blood, the body will soon become exhausted.

Even if you don’t talk about this, once your body is broken, your body and conduct will also be broken.

But if you advance to the method of keeping the year old, you will have to turn from life to death, and then from death to life, and the postures will have more magical effects.

This unique skill mentioned by the old shopkeeper is actually equivalent to a trick that can only be performed by a person who watches the year end.

On the surface, Hu Ma has perfected his hands and feet, but secretly he has made progress faster. However, even so, he only knows that after he has refined his skills, he has the ability to not be afraid of weapons, poison, and fire.

 It wasn’t until I listened to the old shopkeeper’s words that I realized that my understanding was really shallow.

With all his hands and feet dead, he stepped into the gate of hell.

Through this method of keeping the old age, you can borrow the power of ghosts and gods to use some sinister power that is unimaginable to living people.

“Four ghosts are knocking on the door, and the underworld is coming!”

Just the artistic conception pointed at by this unique skill shocked Huma Jie.

This is actually a method that can open the so-called door to the netherworld and borrow the power of ghosts and gods, not to mention that after borrowing the power of ghosts and gods, you can use ghost climbing, soul-seeking hands and other skills.

It's not that others can't learn these skills, it's just that once they learn it, they won't be able to use it at all without the skills of a watcher.

“Every move is based on experience. Every movement and stillness are all learned by our ancestors who risked their lives..."

Hu Ma couldn’t help but sigh after hearing the old shopkeeper’s advice.

 Many of these unique skills are understood by him as a year-old watcher.

 But don’t think it sounds simple. If you have to figure it out by yourself, I really don’t know how long it will take to figure it out.

And this is where the old shopkeeper is generous.

  Ordinary watchers guide their apprentices, one by one, each meridian, each meridian, but they stop at some point. Even if you ask, he will just say that you are not qualified, and then put it off.

Due to limitations, the apprentice was not satisfied with being a slave to the master, but the old shopkeeper taught him the key points, and then let Hu Ma calmly comprehend.

 This is true about the practice of keeping watch on the year, and it is also true about this unique skill.

Logically speaking, this unique skill of knocking on the door with four ghosts can only be fully performed by Hu Ma after he has been trained into two hands and two feet. He only needs to give Hu Ma some basic skills first, but he still taught Hu Ma the formula in one go, for fear that Hu Ma would Can't remember.

It is said that once the flax has refined the hands and feet, they will naturally be able to use them.

This kind of kindness naturally moved Hu Ma deeply. He gave guidance and learned from others until it was time to hold the lamp.

Hu Ma then stood up and bowed deeply to the old shopkeeper: "Thank you, shopkeeper."

 “Haha, let’s go!”

The old shopkeeper also enjoyed the teaching and waved his hand with a smile: "Don't forget to bring the bowl of green food from the kitchen."

Hu Ma agreed with a smile, went to the small kitchen to get the bowl of green food, and then left the inner courtyard with a smile.

He was in a good mood and his steps seemed to be much lighter. After returning to his hut, he put the bowl of green food on the table, turned around and closed the door. When he turned around again, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. What replaced it was deep concern:

 “Old shopkeeper, are you really that good?”

“After all this effort, all I have to do in the end is to keep a lantern in the village?”

　　　…”

　　　…”

 “Big…”

 In the inner courtyard, the old shopkeeper, stroking his beard and smiling, sighed slowly as he watched Hu Ma carrying green food out the door.

 The happy smile on his face gradually faded, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

He was silent for a long time. Even the old servant who was usually silent, after bringing the food tray, saw that the atmosphere was not right, he turned around and left, dragging the handyman with him to their inner courtyard. Eat in the small kitchen.

The silence in the main room lasted for a long time, and then He Mei's slightly trembling voice came from the side room: "Is it really okay if we do this...?"

The old shopkeeper just sat in silence for a while and then said: "What else can I do? If I tell him directly, even a fool can't agree?"

Wu He was silent for a while and said: "But he really wants to help us..."

 “Actually, I think he’s pretty good too.”

The old shopkeeper sighed lowly and said: "Sensible, hard-working, repaying kindness, and not taking precautions, and his background is clean. What I just said to him is not false. If it were any other time, I might really be willing." Accept him as a closed disciple."

"But now... we have no other options. If we don't use him, how can we use anyone else?"

“But having said that, we didn’t do him a disservice when it came to teaching us skills. It’s not unfair to use him this time...”

“It just depends on whether his life is tough or not. Maybe we can’t really use him..."

Mei He in the tank was silent, and there seemed to be a faint sound of sobbing, but she suppressed it.

  …    …

 “At least two things have been determined.”

Huma is currently sitting in his side room. The bowl of green food is placed on the small table, and he has no intention of eating it.

I just carefully sorted out the conversation I just had with the shopkeeper and came to the conclusion:

"The old shopkeeper knows where the batch of blood food is. At least, he also knows the general location, but he may not be able to get it!"

"Xu is from the Tan'er Cult. After hiding the batch of blood food, he quietly found the whereabouts, but hid it without telling anyone."

"It's precisely because he knew the whereabouts of the batch of blood food that he didn't panic at all, and didn't care what the Tan'er Cult's people were up to, because for him, he just had to wait and see, and he could wait in peace. , those people from Tan'er Cult came to my door."

"the second one…"

Hu Ma thought, and her face became more and more gloomy: "He didn't tell me the truth about some things..."

If Hu Ma really just came from the village, if he had no memory and experience in his previous life, and if he hadn't chatted with Erguotou several times, maybe Hu Ma would have believed the old shopkeeper's words, but with these, he would have guessed , things are never that simple.

Of course, he couldn't say anything in front of the old shopkeeper.

As a young man from a village, I have no reason to doubt this.

But Hu Ma has come to the simplest conclusion. If he really wants to keep the red lantern, there is no need to go to such trouble.

 But specifically what he wants to do, he needs to ask someone knowledgeable.

Just like that, he just kept calm and slowly ate the bowl of green food. Then he performed the exercises as usual and fell into sleep.

As usual, he followed the same pattern as last time and called Erguotou, and then said: "I'm afraid the people from Tan'er Cult will come here soon, but things are a little strange. My shopkeeper is very worried that the red lantern will be blown out. , you want me to guard here."

 “Keep the lantern?”

Hearing this, Erguotou was startled and said, "Why go to all this trouble? If you are afraid that the lantern will go out, why don't you just carry it?"

"If you are really worried about something else, the worst he can do is teach you how to invite the Red Lantern Lady to come. Why is it so troublesome?"

　　　…”

Hu Ma vaguely confirmed his suspicion from his words, and said slowly: "I thought so too. The old shopkeeper also taught me methods and unique skills, and also used green food to help me replenish my health..."

 “This great favor…”

　　　…”

"I'm afraid it's not a great favor, but a great hatred, right?"

When he was doubtful, he heard a woman's voice, saying calmly: "You learned the method of keeping the year old from him, and the unique skills you practiced are also what he is best at. You look like you are one size younger." he."

“If he uses other means besides leaving Zhuangzi, wouldn’t you just become his substitute?”

"Eh?"

Hu Ma was a little surprised. He quickly looked at it and saw that on top of the life incense in his incense burner, a wisp of fragrance had differentiated. The smoke of the two life incense was connected in two directions, and they had formed fine lines. A thin thread, it was another person who spoke.

 “Can’t you hear the sound?”

Erguotou smiled and said, "Before you came over, we were talking."

 “Miss White Wine?”

Hu Ma then remembered who the voice belonged to, and said with a busy smile: "I was wondering when I would see you again."

 “If there is any benefit, you can only see me at any time.”

The white wine lady said calmly: "If there is no benefit, then what do you want to see me for?"

　　　…”

Hu Ma was a little speechless: "It's still so unapproachable!"

Look at how good the Erguotou brothers are...

 But before he finished asking about the important things, he didn’t think about it and hurriedly asked: “What do you mean by the substitute?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 offices

Miss White Wine said: "Now I am just guessing what his plan is. It depends on whether he will set up some magic circle to let you stay in it or give you something strange when he leaves Zhuangzi. , if not…”

“…Haha, I don’t rule out the possibility that you met a kind-hearted master.”

　　　…”

The kind-hearted master himself has met it before, but that man is still working as a miner in Laoyin Mountain!

Hu Ma thought to herself, took a deep breath and said, "What if there is?"

 “If so, you should be careful.”

Miss White Wine said calmly: "Tan'er Cult has many ways to harm people, but in a head-to-head contest, only Aunt Tan who has developed a lot of resentment is the most powerful. When it comes to ability, your shopkeeper is definitely not the opponent of Tan'er Cult's many monsters. "

“But if he can find someone to bear the grievances of Aunt Tan on his behalf, even if there are twice as many people from Aunt Tan, I’m afraid they won’t be enough for him to kill.”

　　　…”

Hu Ma’s heart sank slightly and she hurriedly said: “Then I…”

Erguotou’s voice rang out at this moment, and he said with a smile, “Wouldn’t that be just right?”

“We want to get this batch of blood food, but we just lack an opportunity, don’t we?”
