Twilight Boundary Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Master Zhou (please update the chapter first and ask for votes!)

Early the next morning, Hu Ma took Zhou Datong and others, washed their faces, had a good meal, and hurriedly set out on the road.

He calculated the distance. He and Zhou Datong were both year-watchers with fast legs and feet. Normally, if they didn't waste time or take the wrong route, they could arrive at Mancang Town before sunset.

So we agreed in advance that we would eat enough in the morning and stop at noon. A group of young men who ran in the mountains every day naturally had no problem and they didn't even ride horses, so they came together.

It's a good thing I didn't bring Li Wazi with me, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up with everyone.

Crossing mountains and ridges, there are few roads in this world. Hu Ma asked clearly the day before, but they did not take the wrong path. As the sun was about to set, they climbed over a hillside and saw a plain ahead, sitting in the dusk. There is a neat village.

 “Take some time to clean up first.”

Hu Ma stopped Zhou Datong and others who were about to rush into the village, gave instructions, then brought over the horse that had been brought out of the village, and sat on it himself.

At the same time, he tousled his hair, put a scarf around his face, hung a few little figures made of straw on the road, and tied a few random talismans around his waist before heading towards the village. Come inside.

 There is still something to talk about...

Hu Ma thought in advance that people here had collected two hundred taels of silver to treat drought and plague, but it was not easy to get it.

 I make money by myself, but I don't know much about the prices of things in this world, but no matter from any perspective, two hundred taels of silver is a lot.

There are few places to spend money in this world. For most families who still care about self-sufficiency, two hundred taels of silver can at least build a small building for the second master in the village, marry a housewife, and buy livestock.

Although this place is looking for someone capable to remove evil spirits, it is not easy to get the money.

They are all young-faced people. Even if they are capable, others may not trust them. But now they dress up and look good.

"Datong, when we get to the village later, you can help me with my performance. I'm wearing a disguise, so I won't say a lot of things directly."

As he walked, Hu Ma also gave Zhou Datong instructions on how to speak, how to compliment others, and also asked them to show their knives...

 …There is no need for Zhao Zhu's dung fork, so just hide it!

“At first I thought about going out with Brother Mazi to investigate the case, but I didn't expect that we were actually here to put on a big show?”

Zhou Datong Bupi felt uncomfortable all of a sudden, even Hu Ma dared to make fun of him, but as the village in front of him got closer and closer, he also became serious, held the horse with one hand, and held his waist with the other. The sword began to swing outward when walking, forming a majestic eight-character step.

This horse and three attendants, carrying knives and swords, and their strange shapes suddenly became very eye-catching.

The entry of strangers into the village was already arousing alarm, and it was almost getting dark. As soon as they entered, several people in the village who were sitting on the doorstep to eat with bowls looked over suspiciously.

 “Hello, eldest sister…”

Zhou Datong knew that the time had come for him to take action. There were old men smoking and men holding bowls in the village. He happened to catch a glimpse of a woman breastfeeding her child. He smiled and stepped forward to say hello: "I wonder if this village is good?" Is there a village chief or a clan leader?"

“As long as we have elders who can talk to us, our master brought us through. We have some important things to discuss with the people here..."

Looking at the smiling face of the honest Zhou Datong, the woman who was holding the child was so frightened that she hid in the house.

On the other hand, the old man smoking next to him stood up and said, "What do you do?"

"Haha, our master is a ghost walker. He travels all over the country to exorcise evil spirits and exorcise evil spirits. In the past few years, he has eliminated eight hundred big evil spirits and three thousand minor evil spirits. Ordinary evil ghosts can be dispersed with just a breath. It just so happens that I'll pass by this village today…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt that he had overheard it, and then Zhou Datong got to the point: "Look at the evil spirit here!"

“The master is kind-hearted, so he brought us over to see what's going on.”

"oops…"

Hearing what Zhou Datong said, the old smoking man was frightened and hurriedly raised his hands: "We are waiting for the master here. Wait a moment, I will ask Mr. Zhao from our village to come and talk."

 Speaking, he hurriedly entered the village. Hu Ma and others rode their horses and waited here.

The people in the village also heard the movement and stretched out their heads to have a look, but they only looked at it from a distance and did not come forward to talk.

Zhou Datong saw the woman next to him sticking out half of her face from behind the door, and said with a smile: "Sister, your child is quite strong, how do you feed it?"

 Zhiah!

As soon as the door is closed, people hide again.

But not long after waiting, I saw a few lanterns in the village being lit up in the distance, floating towards me from afar. When I got closer, I saw a rich middle-aged man with a few young and strong workers. Far away, he reached in front of him and raised his hand to Hu Ma who was on horseback:

　　"Some people have missed the welcome from afar, and some have missed the welcome from afar. I wonder what the master calls them?"

Hu Ma cleared her throat, making her voice thicker, and said, "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Dazhuang."

Zhou Datong next to him was stunned for a moment, glanced at Hu Ma, and thought to himself: "Why are you telling me my father's name?"

 “Master Zhou is polite.”

Mr. Zhao hurriedly saluted Hu Ma again, approached the horse that Hu Ma was riding, and whispered: "Master, have you noticed that there is something evil about this place?"

“Isn't it just evil spirit?”

Hu Ma raised his voice, laughed, and said: "Looking from a distance, it can be regarded as a monster. I think we haven't seen rain here for almost a year, right?"

“Perhaps, how many people have died?”

"Yes, yes..." Mr. Zhao sighed and hurriedly directed the people behind him: "Invite the master in quickly."

The group of people took the horses and followed Mr. Zhao into the village, but Hu Ma was also thinking in her heart that although Mr. Zhao was polite, he was obviously a shrewd person, and he might not necessarily have trusted people like him.

 You have to be careful when dealing with people in the village. If you want to take over this job well, you have to show your skills.

Thinking in my heart, I also observed silently.

It happened that he came when he was thinking about it. When he arrived in front of Mr. Zhao's spacious house, Hu Ma felt a little uncomfortable. He just looked to the left and right, but saw nothing, and felt a little hesitant.

Instead, Xiao Hongtang, who followed him and sat on the horse's butt, seemed to have noticed what Hu Ma was looking for. She crawled along his back and onto his shoulders. She covered his eyes with two cold hands. Hu Ma suddenly saw something in front of him. Black, I saw something.

That's beside the wall of Master Zhao's house. There is a black figure squatting, digging hard at the top of the wall of his house.

 But people around him followed it back and forth, but no one saw it.

Seeing that Hu Ma stayed behind, just staring at the corner, the others were also slightly startled, wondering what mystery he was up to.

 “Sister Hongtang is really amazing...”

Hu Ma praised in her heart, looked away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, don't blame me for talking too much. I'm afraid your house is not very clean..."

“Are you afraid that the government did something useless not long ago?”

Mr. Zhao was surprised when he heard this, and suddenly became suspicious: "Is this another person who comes here to swindle money?"

There is a drought in my place, and I want to ask someone to get rid of the drought. I don't know how many waves of scammers have come. Each wave comes first to bluff people, but they can't do the real thing.

"Funeral…"

He looked confused and forced a smile: "No..."

 “Maybe it's not from your family.”

Hu Ma smiled and said, "But it must be related to your family. They are dissatisfied with you and are poaching you!"

 “Poach my corner?”

Mr. Zhao was really surprised when he heard this. He had also heard of ghosts poaching people, making their families sick or losing money. Thinking that he had not been feeling well recently, he hurriedly asked: "What does it look like?"

Hu Ma looked at the dark figure in the corner and said, "Looking at his young age, he probably didn't die of old age. He's physically strong, and he doesn't look like he died of illness."

"oops…"

Mr. Zhao was really scared this time. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said, "Isn't this Mr. Zhao?"

“Some time ago, someone wanted to dig up my ancestral grave. My third brother was kind enough to guard it for me. As a result, someone from the neighboring village hit me on the head with a hoe…”

 “He...is he dissatisfied with me?”

 “I think so.”

Hu Ma said: "People died for you. You have to take care of the young and old, otherwise you will lose your virtue."

As he spoke, he glanced at the panicked people around him. Knowing that it was time for him to show his skills, he said: "Now that I have caught up, I will solve this trouble for you first. I will do big things later and let him stay." It's not appropriate here either.”

As he spoke, he recited silently for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Flying Sword!"

 “Wow!”

 The surrounding villagers hurriedly backed away several feet, and everyone stared with wide eyes.

Even Zhou Datong and others were stunned, thinking that Brother Mazi is capable and knows it, but what is a flying sword?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Hu Ma take out the mahogany sword wrapped in a red baggage on his back and throw it casually into the air. Xiao Hongtang next to him reacted and jumped up to catch the flying sword.

Then as Hu Ma made a sword gesture and pointed forward, Xiao Hongtang picked up the wooden sword and thrust it straight towards the black shadow squatting at the base of the wall.

 Others could not see Xiao Hongtang, only Hu Ma pointed his finger, and the sword really flew up, pointing crookedly at the corner of the wall.

　　I was shocked for a moment and stared with wide eyes.

The black shadow in the wall is just the weakest wanderer. He came to dig into the corner of Mr. Zhao's house because he had a grudge in his heart.

In fact, Hu Ma could tell that Mr. Zhao's family was blessed by his ancestors, and there must be an ancestral tablet in his home. If he had to dig for it for several years, it would only cause Mr. Zhao a minor illness at most. He himself might have angered Zhao. The ancestors of the family were scattered.

Now Xiao Hongtang rushed towards him and ran towards him. He was timid and suddenly turned into a gust of wind and dispersed.

But the people around them only watched the "Flying Sword" pointing there, and suddenly there was a gust of wind and the rustling of withered grass. It was so mysterious that they were too frightened to express their anger.

"return!"

Seeing this, Hu Ma pointed his fingers together again, and the mahogany sword flew back into his hand.

When the people around saw it, there was no doubt at all. Mr. Zhao shouted loudly: "Kill the chicken, kill the chicken, prepare wine, prepare wine."

　　“There are really capable people coming here, our village can be saved...”
