Twilight Boundary Chapter 165

Chapter 165: Traps everywhere (second update)

 “Buy your life?”

Yang Gong and Manager Xu who were standing next to him were both startled when they heard this. Apparently they had not heard much about such things.

 “It is a method in the soul torture sect.”

The old man in green clothes let go of his hand on the flax pulse gate, looked at him carefully, and said: "If you cast a spell on something and throw it on the ground, whoever picks it up will be killed. There is some serious evil spirit or something." Yinwu will also use this method if he wants to get married."

"But this kid is not just a simple means of buying his life. He has met an expert."

"These people have refined ordinary paper money using secret methods, and then they have the ability to buy lives. When they are fighting with others, they will sprinkle the paper money on people. If they are hit on the head by the paper money, they will buy their lives. This kid is going to die..."

“…You may have taken blood food pills before, right? Your moral character has exceeded one pillar?”

Hu Ma knew what he was referring to and said hurriedly: "Yes, I have made great contributions to the meeting earlier, and the empress rewarded me with three blood food pills."

 “I ate it, and there was a breakthrough in my Taoism, but now...”

 “Thanks to you, you broke a pillar and saved a small life.”

The old man in green clothes said: "Otherwise, your little life would have been completely bought away by others."

"ah?"

 Beside them, Manager Xu and Yang Gong looked a little flustered.

Hu Ma was also flustered along with them, but she felt a little relieved in her heart. In fact, she knew best what her situation was, and what she was afraid of was that she would not be able to hide it from the experts in the meeting.

Now that I heard what the old man said, this worry has passed. It seems that the situation is dangerous. In fact, as long as the blood and food keep up, the body and soul will come back soon, and there will be no other effects.

 But he knew in his heart that Manager Xu and others did not understand, so he hurriedly asked the old man: "What should we do?"

The old man in Tsing Yi had a deep expression on his face and sighed lowly, saying: "There is nothing we can do. He was bought with paper money. There is a hole in the sky, and all the ghosts will come to the door. I must seal this hole for him." , but this job is not easy..."

“…I can only use the plaster passed down from my ancestors.”

“...Old Xu, I'm just looking out for your face. If you give me three blood pills, I'll lose even if you take one less.”

"ah?"

Hearing these words, the three people present were surprised, happy and dumbfounded.

Manager Xu was shocked. Leng Buding was frightened when he heard that the old man in Tsing Yi actually asked for three blood pills.

Happy to Yang Gong, he finally found a way to save Hu Ma.

 But it was Hu Ma who was dumbfounded, because...this old man was just talking nonsense!

This piece of paper money buys life, and what it buys is that moment. Once you buy it, it's over.

Therefore, the old man was right when he said that he was lucky to have a deep Taoism that prevented him from losing his life. If a person with less than one life came here, these three pieces of paper money could indeed buy people's lives. If the Taoism is empty, people will also Just die.

 But the key point is that if you don't buy it all, there will be no follow-up, and there is no such thing as a hole.

This old man is talking nonsense. Is he... promoting his plaster?

 “Where's the plaster, bring it quickly…”

At this time, Yang Gong could no longer bear it and said, "Isn't it just three blood pills? I gave them to you."

 “No, no, no…”

Hu Ma said hurriedly: "Three blood food pills, these...are they too expensive?"

"expensive?"

  Manager Xu and Yang Gong, together with the old man in Tsing Yi, looked at Hu Ma at the same time, with serious expressions on their faces: "It's expensive to save a life!"

Hu Ma was suddenly in a dilemma. He wanted to say it but couldn't, so he could only say: "I can't afford it..."

 “Why are you still telling jokes here!”

Yang Gong said: "Brother, how can I ask you to pay me back?"

Huma was very moved by what he said, but she felt a little bit uncomfortable, so she had to look at the old man in Qingyi and said: "Mr., give it a little cheaper..."

“That's all, I'll give Brother Hongxiangyang some face and I'll give you two.”

The old man in green waved his hand and said, "Sit down first. I'll get the plaster, bake it on the fire, stick it on his forehead, and seal his heavenly gate. This life will not be bought away."

 At this time, the scene was full of joy and sorrow.

 The happy ones are Guanshi Xu and Yang Gong. One likes that he does not have to bleed himself and takes pills, and the other likes that flax can save his life.

What's annoying is Hu Ma, this old man is really bluffing...

　　It is not good to say that a person has too many secrets in his heart. When he meets a liar, he feels angry but cannot tell them.

Although he knew what was going on, he couldn't say anything. After all, theoretically, he shouldn't understand this now, so he could only pretend to be ignorant and let the old man in Tsing Yi talk nonsense and steal two people from his brother. A blood food pill…

 Looking back and waiting for this plaster to be applied to the forehead, is this sealing the gate of heaven?

 This is someone who has been taken advantage of!

 …Huma quickly put the plaster on her forehead.

It's okay if you don't post it. The old man was chanting incantations and making gestures to himself. He seemed to be very dedicated.

 According to people's words, this is a violation of the ancestor's decision, giving out the good things from one's own family to save the lives of outsiders...

 “Remember you.”

Hu Ma could only think to herself that she had never suffered such a big loss since her reincarnation, and you were the first one.

"It's better now..." Yang Gong and Manager Xu finally felt relieved when they saw the plaster on Hu Ma's forehead.

Especially Yang Gong, who didn't realize at all that he had been taken advantage of, and looked happy.

"oops…"

But before they could say anything, they heard a scream in the yard, and then a voice said: "It's him, it's really him."

 “My mother, he is here…”

“Brother-in-law, hurry up, go and call my brother-in-law, he is really here…”

The people who were talking in the room were all startled by the sound. They turned around and saw a man in a green shirt. He had an unkempt beard and looked like he hadn't slept for days and nights.

At this time, his eyes were full of surprise, staring at Hu Ma, almost dancing, but it was none other than Sun Niuzi, who had gone to Qingshi Town Zhuangzi to practice, but was caught as a young man.

Hu Ma frowned and said, "What's going on? He seems very happy?"

Yang Gong looked gloomy and pulled out the knife with a swipe sound, saying, "I'll dig it out and see if it really makes me happy."

"ah?"

That Sun Niuzi was most afraid of Yang Gong, so he rolled and crawled away.

Even Manager Xu quickly grabbed Yang Gong, shook his head and said, "No one can touch him now."

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Hu Ma, as if he was hesitant to speak. He wanted to say that Hu Ma came back at the wrong time, but he thought of Hu Ma's injury just now, but he couldn't say it because he was under such evil spells. If he didn't come back, , otherwise he would have to die outside?

“Well, some annoying people will come over here. I'll go back first while you chat.”

When the old man in green saw them, he stood up with the remaining plaster, waved to them, and left.

 For a while, only Hu Ma, Yang Gong, and Guanshi Xu were left in the room, but it was quiet.

Yang Gong frowned and said to Manager Xu, "Everyone has already made up his mind, can't he change it?"

Steward Xu frowned and seemed unsure.

Hu Ma knew what was going on, but pretended to be confused and said, "What are you talking about?"

Manager Xu looked at Hu Ma, sighed lowly, and said, "I just wanted to tell you that it was actually a good thing that you went out before..."

"Let's just say that your position as shopkeeper was taken away, but you managed to escape. You even told people privately that you were lucky. Unexpectedly, after going around in a circle, you actually came back again. Didn't you see that now? This battle?"

 “This is the most uneasy time in the meeting!”

Hu Ma concentrated slightly and said, "I heard some things on my way back."

“We, the Red Lantern Lady, are fighting with others?”

“It's not the Red Lantern Lady fighting with others…”

Steward Xu glanced at Yang Gong, then lowered his voice and said: "It's the Red Lantern Lady Club fighting with the Tsing Yi Gang. There are ten people in each gang, and they fight every day. It's been seven days now."

"Our lady has only won three games, but the Tsing Yi Gang has won four games. Now everyone in the meeting is panicking..."

Hu Ma was taken aback and said hurriedly: "How could this be?"

“I also heard people in the Jianghu talking about martial arts fighting on the road, but everyone said that the Tsing Yi Gang is far behind us. How can they be so capable?”

 “Because the Tsing Yi Gang has gone crazy.”

 Manager Xu said: "I see those people who worship evil spirits. In order to win this round, they have spent all their money."

“Besides, this letter of challenge was issued by them, and we have to accept it in our meeting. As a result, they took longer to prepare than we did, but they came up with some cunning tricks and invited many capable people.”

"But for such a high price, even if they win, they still have to pay for the blood food for two or three years."

 “The focus is on the period yesterday.”

Yang Gong said: "We should have won, but we really didn't expect that we were tricked by the other party and actually lost money for a while."

Hu Ma became serious and said, "Tell me, I only know that we are fighting, but I don't know the details."

Yang Gong and Manager Xu looked at each other, and then Manager Xu spoke up.

Hu Ma listened carefully. Although he had already known a little about it from Erguotou, he was frightened when he learned the details.

“The Tsing Yi Red Lantern Fight is actually just a fight between two Blood Food Gangs.”

What Manager Xu said was very similar to what Erguotou said, except that when Erguotou said it, he was more straightforward:

 “Then the Blood Food Gang fights with each other, what is it about?”

　　　“It's the shopkeeper, offering sacrifices.”

"Don't look at the reputation of the Red Lantern Lady and the Tsing Yi Devil. The Blood Food Gang is also named after them, but they actually help the people above to keep an eye on these two Blood Food Gangs. The real main body of the Blood Food Gang are these shopkeepers. , offerings, and disciples who rely on blood food for their meals.”

“So, this fight is not about two groups of people going up to fight with knives, but about showing off their skills one by one.”

“When it's time to fight, it's the disciples of Hongxiang who get the chance.”

"And this is the case for this fight. The Tsing Yi Gang submitted a letter of challenge to the Red Lantern Society, asking both sides to show their skills and determine the ownership of several large blood food mines. Because the ancestors of both sides have reasons why they cannot lose, so both sides We've all spent a lot of money.”

“Our Red Lantern Festival requires a short preparation time, and the candidates are selected by the shopkeepers of each village.”

“The Tsing Yi Gang gave out sacrifices they invited from all walks of life.”

“This is where we will suffer our losses this time.”
