Twilight Boundary Chapter 15

Chapter 15 The Furnace

Having seen the weird things in this world with his own eyes and the second master's amazing abilities, Hu Ma has now developed a strong interest in the power of this world.

Hurrying up, he wanted to ask the second master to teach him quickly, but before he could say such words, he suddenly thought of something important. So, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked the second master with a solemn expression:

 “Do you need to keep the virgin body you mentioned?”

This ability is indeed good, but if it is, why do you feel that it is better to marry that ghost wife?

 “Of course not.”

The second master was startled by what Hu Ma said. He shook his head and said, "You all remain a boy. Who will give birth to the baby in the village?"

“Besides, my mother-in-law only has your grandson. I won't let you get a wife. Can she spare me?”

He explained: "This is just a method that allows you to seal the firepower in your body and accumulate it, little by little, well. The thicker it is, the better. The thicker it is, the stronger you will be." If you are older, people will be more energetic, of course..."

 He paused and said, “…I am even more greedy for women.”

“In short, when you are ready, you can move on to the next step.”

“Look at the boys outside, they have also taken advantage of these two years to cut meat mountains and earn wages. When they earn enough, they will marry a wife and have children.”

“Of course, after getting married, they can no longer follow the cutlery mountain, because the yang energy is exhausted and the stove is broken, so the cutlery mountain is actually a young man and can only earn a few years.”

"After sixty years of continuous harvesting, you and I are the only ones in the entire village..."

“Why, Mr. Er, the more proud you are, the more I sympathize with you...”

Hu Ma couldn't help but think to herself, and then asked the most crucial question: "Then when will the heat be reached?"

The second master took a deep look at him and said, "The time has come when you become greedy when you see a pig's butt."

Hu Ma couldn't help but shudder as she imagined that scene.

However, after all, there is no need to remain a child, so he cheered up and said: "Then, what should we do?"

 “It's very simple, I just need to help you draw Taoist charms on your body.”

The second master said: "I tell you this in advance so that you can pay attention and be prepared. Once this talisman is drawn, you must eat more meat to increase your physical strength, exercise more, and get more sun. , let your anger grow stronger, the better.”

“It stands to reason that you were attacked by a ghost not long ago, so you shouldn't be in such a hurry and forcefully turn on the stove. Instead, you may not be able to make up for it…”

“But what my mother-in-law said makes sense, and since you've eaten so much Tai Sui meat, it won't be a big problem.”

"certainly…"

He became serious as he spoke: "You should also be mentally prepared. Once locked, you must not lose your virginity during this period."

“I heard before that you liked to watch the widow take a bath in the village... You can't do this anymore.”

"how can that be possible?"

Hu Ma looked embarrassed by what he said.

 Speaking of which, what is the predecessor? Why does it seem that it is not very popular in the village?

However, seeing the second master speaking so seriously, Hu Ma also thought of another question: "Is it just that you don't want to lose your virginity?"

 “Well, what about yourself?”

As he spoke, he circled his right thumb and index finger together and moved them up and down.

The second master reacted for a moment before he understood, and immediately shook his head seriously: "Absolutely not, hold it back!"

 “It will vent anger!”

"All right…"

Hu Ma could only agree, but then he remembered something: "What about the dream? What if I can't help but dream..."

 He has experience in the past life. He knows that at such a strong age, who hasn't gotten up in the middle of the night and washed their underwear?

 “In a dream?”

After hearing this, the second master sneered and said: "That's the evil spirit entering the dream to lure you out. Once I draw this talisman on you, you won't have such a dream... Of course, there is a chance, but If you really do it, if you are still conscious, hold it back. If you are really unconscious, it doesn't matter if you leak a little bit... Otherwise, how can I maintain my virginity for sixty years?"

Hu Ma suddenly remembered the feats of the second master when he was young, and nodded vigorously: "I understand."

 Everything had been explained clearly, and the second master also took a straw basket and asked Hu Ma to sit opposite him.

Facing such an important matter, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel a little excited, and tried to adjust her breathing.

The second master is familiar with the cooking and takes his time.

 But in the final analysis, it was just the first step in learning a skill, and it was not a big deal. Both of them were quite calm.

However, on a low hillside not far from the stone house, the mother-in-law who should have returned to the village was still standing here. She saw the second master taking Hu Ma out at night to see Master Tai Sui. I recognized my godmother again, and frowned several times during this process.

I have long thought that this guy is reckless and unreliable, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable.

 But she just watched from a distance and didn't say anything after all.

“Mother-in-law doesn't like the second master's ability and doesn't want brother Hu Ma to learn from the second master.”

Xiao Hongtang next to him suddenly said: "Xiao Hongtang doesn't want brother Hu Ma to learn from the second master. Xiao Hongtang doesn't dare to approach the second master, but she is very comfortable with brother Hu Ma, but brother Hu Ma has learned the skills of the second master. Xiao Hongtang didn't dare to approach him anymore..." The mother-in-law slowly lowered her gaze. After a long time, she whispered: "It's not that the mother-in-law dislikes the second master's ability."

"It's just the second master's skill. It's good, but he didn't learn it all."

“Girl, don't worry about not being able to get close to your Huma brother. No matter how hard he learns, he won't scare you…”

Xiao Hongtang tilted her head, as if she didn't understand.

 “When others light the stove, they use the ashes of the ancestors in the old fire pit.”

In the stone house, the second master had also asked Hu Ma to untie the small coarse mandarin jacket he was wearing, revealing his fair and thin chest with well-defined ribs: "But the ancestors don't recognize you, so second master, I need to take you there." Find a godmother and borrow this willow branch."

As he spoke, he took out the willow branch and put it into the fire to burn.

Humbling in his mouth, he seemed to be asking for blessings from his ancestors.

Hu Ma guessed that she had never used the ashes in the old fire pond, and what the second master was thinking about now had little to do with her.

 Perhaps the second master needs to recite it this way when he is lighting the stove for others, so he has recited it now.

 After waiting for a while, the willow branch was dried and a section of it caught fire.

The second master suddenly raised his head, picked up a willow branch, and quickly drew on Hu Ma's chest with flames.

Hu Ma shrank subconsciously, but found that the willow branch with sparks was not hot, but freezing cold.

 It is colder than when I touched the ghost wooden stake just now.

This coldness seems to penetrate directly through the skin and imprint on one's soul.

And as these grass ashes drew strange rune shapes on his chest, he felt a cold line quickly traveling on his chest, and vaguely heard countless strange smiles and ridicules with unknown meanings in his ears. , and my vision became blurry.

Leng Buding lowered his head and saw pale palms stretching out from the night, pressing them on his chest and stroking them randomly.

"ah?"

Hu Ma trembled violently and straightened his chest suddenly. The second master was drawing the last stroke of the rune by himself when he was also startled.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Ma looked closely and realized that there were no pale palms on his chest, it was just an illusion.

The shallow gray mark that Erye drew on his chest with a willow branch gave him an unusually clear cold feeling.

 And the runes formed by the gray marks also gave me a weird taste.

 My body seemed to be covered invisibly with a cotton-padded jacket, blocking the heat from escaping from the body.

 Completely isolated from the outside world.

 The heat in the body, just about to be dissipated through the skin, is blocked back into the body, and the cycle repeats.

 “Remember the mark I made on this talisman.”

The second master glanced at Hu Ma strangely, but when he saw that the runes had been drawn, he quickly confessed in a low voice:

"From this point on, the fire energy in your body will continue to be blocked, and you will follow the traces of this talisman to accumulate this fire energy, and lead it to your lower abdomen bit by bit. , over time, a huge fire will accumulate here."

“This is your furnace. The furnace will burn brighter and hotter, and you will become stronger and stronger, until you start to learn new methods..."

“With this stove, you don't have to worry about bumping into those ghosts anymore.”

“When they see you from a distance, they keep away.”

"this…"

Hu Ma suddenly thought of a question and asked carefully: "What if evil spirits enter my body?"

"hehe…"

The second master sneered and said: "Even if there is really a blind eye, if it gets into your body, it will be as hot as if it got into a stove. You will run away in a hurry. If you can't run away, I'm afraid you will die." I'm going to be burned to pieces by this furnace fire..."

"ah?"

Hearing the serious words of the second master, Hu Ma felt it quickly, and then felt a little relieved:

"It's alright…"

“I didn't feel like I was about to be burned away at all. Instead, I felt warm and comfortable in my body…”

“Does this mean I'm not evil?”

At the same time, the mother-in-law looked at the light in the stone house from a distance. After a long time, she sighed inaudibly and said no more:

 “Let's go!”

The little girl's rickety body, carrying a little bit of red in the night, slowly entered the deep forest.
