Twilight Boundary Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Staying Sui Sui Inheritance

 Practice, what's so difficult?

With this batch of blood food in hand, Hu Ma felt calm and even felt relieved.

Shou Suimen has two advantages: one is that his body is dead, and the other is that he has a statue of his natal deity to see him. Now what limits his progress is nothing more than his own path.

 This batch of blood food has solved an urgent need. As long as you complete your Taoist practice, you can practice without any worries. Maybe you can complete the entire third level.

By practicing his skills, he had already reached the first level.

Now that I have quietly strengthened my limbs, I have theoretically reached the second level.

 After refining the five internal organs, he will reach the third level, and his abilities will be no worse than those of Shopkeeper Wu.

I was pleasantly surprised and wanted to eat all the blood food, but I just thought about it. I stuffed a blood food pill into my mouth first, and then I prepared to hide most of the blood food first and wait for the water to flow. , slowly refine the Taoism.

Of course, the main purpose is to hide the batch of green food. The blood food pills are too valuable, so I have to keep them with me.

Fortunately, this blood pill takes up little space and is easy to store.

And after feeding Xiao Hongtang a piece of green food, she also worked very hard, without using any tools, squatting in front of the stove, sticking her **** out and digging for a long time, which made her little face black. She turned around and smiled, and could only see a row of The snow-white sharp teeth look weird but cute.

After Hu Ma collected the blood pills, he also hurried over to help. He buried the bag in the pit at the bottom of the stove, filled it with soil, and paved it with bricks.

 Lay a layer of mud and put the ashes back, and this little treasure house is ready.

Even though it has been refined, how to hide the blood food securely is also a big question. The people of Tan'er Cult behaved viciously and directly peeled off human skins to make bags, which can be kept for a year without the smell of blood food leaking out.

The Red Lantern Club is different. Although the Red Lantern Lady is also a danger to Mingzhou, she can't do things like killing people and skinning them in such a big way...

 …At least they don't do it now.

 So it is usually contained in a large vat, sealed with a blood talisman, and then escorted by people.

Logically speaking, this batch of flax has been refined and is much safer. However, there is a piece of rare Tai Sui that has not been refined, so flax did not dare to be too careless and used an earth recipe taught by the second master to hide it. Under the stove.

 The stove is the foundation of the meal, the essence of herbs, and the most human smoke. It can cover up the smell of blood and food. It is the cheapest thing he can choose now.

“What is this piece of golden thread that Miss White Wine said is too old?”

After doing this, Hu Ma felt strange that inside the oil-paper bag was the strange Tai Sui that looked like blood but had traces of gold patterns.

Miss White Wine made other blood foods into blood pills and gels that were easy to carry and store. But this one was not processed in any way. She just divided it into three equal parts and told herself and Erguotou to keep it well. .

The gold thread Tai Sui is wrapped in is a special oil cloth, which can keep Tai Sui's energy and blood from being exposed and rotten. It is actually easier to use than a human skin bag, but it is too expensive.

 It is far less troublesome and efficient than finding someone to peel off the skin to make a cloth bag.

 “Either it's not needed, or it's a life-saving thing.”

When Miss White Wine divided the piece of Tai Sui between Hu Ma and Erguotou, she just talked lazily and looked not in a good mood.

Hu Ma guessed that she might also feel distressed in her heart. She could obviously keep this thing secret...

After arranging everything, he took Xiao Hongtang out and locked the door.

Looking up at the dark night sky, walking on the stone road in the town, looking at the stars in the sky, I felt refreshed as if I had done something bad.

Perhaps, I will find a suitable reason to move here directly later.

Of course, you can't be in a hurry when it comes to living here now. You can be irritable now and then, but you don't have to arouse suspicion.

Returning to Zhuangzi, he rested for the night. When he got up the next day, Hu Ma began to arrange for the workers in Zhuangzi to open the warehouse in the outer courtyard that had been locked for a year, repair rat holes and broken window edges, and provide necessary supplies for the beginning of spring. The arriving carts and weapons were also checked one by one.

In the busy afternoon, the shopkeeper Leng Buding asked the old servant to come over and call Hu Ma. After arriving in the inner courtyard, he saw two oil lamps placed on the stone table, and an old-looking vine was placed at the feet of the old shopkeeper. boxes.

He was drinking tea. He didn't pour the flax or ask him to sit down. He just said, "I said, listen."

 “I don't need to explain much about what happened earlier.”

“But the method I taught you is true, and the skill of the four ghosts knocking on the door is also true.”

"You have only mastered one hand and one foot now, and the fire level is still too low. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it as the shopkeeper of this Zhuangzi. Therefore, it's time for you to start to understand the other hands and feet. With two lamps, you Take it away and light it when the time comes."

“As well as the contents of this box and the two lamps you took away before, there is no need to return them.”

 “The shopkeeper means...”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was slightly surprised. Through the tiny gaps in the rattan, he could see oil lamps inside.

 I saw it earlier in the shopkeeper's cabinet.

These oil lamps are the basis for the watchers to practice death and seek survival, but he wants to give them to himself?

Faced with Hu Ma's doubts, the old shopkeeper did not explain much, but frowned slightly and asked hesitantly, "You said before that your mother-in-law is a ghost walker, so she must be someone with some knowledge. Have you ever heard of the Zhao family, a magic hand?"

　　"The Zhao Family of Divine Hands?" 　　　 Hu Ma hesitated for a moment and slowly shook her head.

"well…"

 The old shopkeeper said no more, just sighed lightly and said: "Tell the guys to keep an eye on it for me if you have the chance."

“You should be more active during this period. I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you for much longer.”

Hu Ma understood what he meant.

 The old shopkeeper had hinted to himself a few years ago that he would recommend himself to be the shopkeeper. He also said that he had aroused the suspicion of the people above him, and he was afraid that it would be meaningless to continue to stay here.

Looking at it now, what he said about leaving was true. It was not just that the Red Lantern Club would not leave anyone behind, but that he wanted to find the magic hand Zhao family to treat sister Wu He, but he hadn't found out clearly yet.

 But the key point is that I actually don't know it either.

Miss White Wine told herself about this, but she didn't reveal any other information. Firstly, even if she knew some specific information, she couldn't talk nonsense about it, because it was not something she should know, and secondly, neither did White Wine. Know the whereabouts of the Zhao family.

She knew this family and knew that they treated Wu He sister well, but this family was so mysterious that no one knew where they lived.

I brought the rattan box back and opened it. Sure enough, it was full of oil lamps.

 After checking, there are fifteen lamps in total.

 It seems that the old shopkeeper has really given himself the secret of keeping up the year.

 Normally speaking, the Shou Sui people cannot practice the Shou Sui method without these oil lamps. The limbs, five internal organs, eyes, ears, nose and tongue all have specific oil lamps corresponding to them.

Speaking of which, these are actually poisons that can be precisely targeted to kill a certain part of oneself, but they are also the poisons that watchers need most. I don't know how much painstaking effort of previous generations it contains. Although I don't need it, I also know its value. .

However, upon entering the house, there are actually seventeen lamps in the complete set.

 This set passed down by the old shopkeeper is already good, except for the most mysterious brains and secrets.

This is not because the old shopkeeper is hiding his secrets. In fact, he has not been informed of it.

In addition, in fact, there are many demonic arts taught by Tan'er, and there are also many skills in the Shou Sui sect. Whether it is hands, feet, organs, ears, eyes, nose, and tongue, some special skills can be cultivated accordingly.

However, each skill requires a lot of effort to figure out. The old shopkeeper himself is an idle shopkeeper who took refuge in the Red Lantern Queen, so it would be good to have a unique skill.

“I just hope that sister Wu He will be blessed with good fortune and can successfully find the Zhao family...”

Hu Ma sighed in her heart, but vaguely felt that the word "human feelings" is really complicated.

In fact, according to his previous calculations, Miss Baijiu pointed Sister Wu He in a direction, and she secretly informed her that she would repay the favor to save her life. But in the end she couldn't bear her suffering and helped her beg for a jar of green jade ointment. Unexpectedly, this It brought benefits to myself again.

 The old shopkeeper now treats himself better than his own apprentice.

 But there has been a rift between the two, but it is impossible to return to the previous sincerity.

He put away all the oil lamps, but his right hand was also wrapped with a strip of cloth. After all, the old shopkeeper was still in the village. He had to be more careful, but his limbs were mature. The next step was to consider the refining of the five internal organs. .

  There are relevant records in the old shopkeeper's notebook, and he has already memorized them in his mind. It is just a simple note. After all, it is not as good as a step-by-step instruction, which is more careful.

 But once I arrived, I couldn't ask for help like before. Secondly, since I had the statue of my natal deity to see me, I didn't worry about going the wrong way.

 What needs to be determined now is where to start with these five internal organs?

At night, Hu Ma was thinking about her spiritual practice, but she started to get busy during the day. Now that the day has come, a few waves of people came to the city earlier to explore the road conditions, see if the livestock were healthy, how the warehouses were repaired, and whether the accounts were clear. Clear and so on.

At present, the seven blood food mines belonging to the Red Lantern Lady Guild have all prayed to Tai Sui, and all the manpower in the city has been sent down.

 Presumably the first batch of blood food will arrive soon, and preparations must begin in each village.

Whenever these people come, the shopkeeper will come out to accompany them. He does not know what method he uses, but he looks very energetic.

But he was just accompanying him, letting Hu Ma participate in and preside over most things. Moreover, as soon as he returned, he quickly returned to the inner courtyard. It seemed that every time he managed to maintain a normal state for a while, he had already let go. He felt very tired.

 But over time, Hu Ma became more and more familiar with these matters and the people involved.

Especially when Manager Xu from the city came down and presented something given to him by the second master, he was actually overjoyed when faced with this worthless thing.

 Since then, I have had a personal relationship with Hu Ma Lun.

Even Hu Ma couldn't help but think sometimes: "Could I really be a shopkeeper?"
