Twilight Boundary Chapter 189

Chapter 189: A nobleman of the Meng family (please vote for the third update)

 “Brother Mazi…”

I vaguely guessed some possible flax in my heart, and stood at the entrance of the town at night for a long time without moving.

Behind him, Zhou Datong and the others, who had just gone through such a disaster, were already trembling with fear. They were almost taken away by that group of ghostly guys, which really scared them out of their wits.

 But in the end, I didn't expect that there was a near miss. Was the incense owner who talked to Brother Mazi really a good person?

Hearing their calls, Hu Ma slowly turned around. Seeing their tears and crying, she could only sigh helplessly and said:

 “Why are you crying?”

"When you go out to make a living, you will inevitably have to deal with these things. If we talk about it, it would be safer to live in the village and guard the old fire pond."

“Anyway, remember what happened today and practice your skills well!”

“Once you learn the skills, you won't be afraid anymore.”

No one dared not listen to what Hu Ma said at this moment. He just glanced at the direction in which the boys in blue were leaving, still a little worried, and whispered: "Then this matter is really... over?"

Hu Ma did not answer in a hurry, but said slowly: "No matter what, we can take care of things together."

 Perhaps not only is it not the past, but it is even bigger...

Just now he saw Zheng Xiangzhu's smile when he turned around, and he suddenly understood something: How could this person named Zheng be so kind?

 He quietly dug a big hole for himself that he had to jump into...

What he said when he left was actually the truth. He was not interested in the lives of these guys. What he wanted was his own life.

Then why don't you take advantage of the fact that you want to save these guys and find a reason to attack yourself directly?

Yes!

He didn't know that he had just thought of taking Zhou Datong and others out of Zhuangzi and escaping into Laoyin Mountain.

He used himself to save people, thinking that he would be like other shopkeepers in other sects and villages. Although he would be dissatisfied and angry when his people were taken away, he would immediately give in when faced with the power of Master Qingyi. , obediently sent the person out...

If that's the case, he will only make himself sick, but it will not kill him in the end.

So, instead, he followed the trend and actually left Zhou Datong and the others behind, and then went back to sue himself to confirm his reputation of not letting people go...

Who can guess such insidious thoughts?

While Hu Ma was thinking about it, Master Zheng Xiang had already followed the group of boys in green clothes and quickly entered the night.

It was late at night, but surrounded by the thick mist surrounding the boy in green, not only would they not attract evil spirits, but they would feel like they were traveling thousands of miles at night.

It would probably take four or five hours to reach Zhumen Town after riding a fast horse during the day.

 But they traveled at night, carried a sedan chair, and only walked. It seemed that they had arrived in front of the town in only about two hours.

In today's Zhumen Town, every household has lights on and colorful scarves are floating everywhere, giving it an unreal sense of luxury.

There were residents in this town, but they were just fighting in red lights and green clothes. After ten days of fighting, they couldn't really find a small hill to camp on both sides, so they spent a lot of money and used a little bit of force to destroy the people in this town. All the houses are rented.

Now we should have returned those people, but when the Tongyin Meng family came, they stayed with him, and the money still came from the Red Lantern Club.

Zheng Daxiangzhu and others followed the chariot and entered the town, arriving at a courtyard in the center of the town.

I saw a big red lantern hanging at the door here, and it looked like the Red Lantern Lady was guarding the door for the noble person herself.

Entering the courtyard, he saw a young man in the hall wearing a brocade robe and cotton shoes, who was practicing calligraphy, served by two maids on the left and right.

 Zheng Daxiang Master and the boy in green didn't dare to raise their heads, so they knelt down in front of the house.

 Vaguely, there seemed to be a gloomy air coming out of the evil ghost mask on the sedan chair.

He transformed into a man in green robes, knelt in front of the table, and replied carefully, but the others could not hear his voice clearly.

 “Are there only so many shady people?”

The noble man at the table put down his pen, took the hot towel from the maid next to him, wiped his hands, and said softly: "There are probably not many people in Mingzhou Prefecture who still have the custom of worshiping the fire pond, and they can't even get some decent treatment." shelter…"

 “It's the oldest rule to pay homage to Lao Huotangzi...”

The maid next to me smiled and said: "The world is in chaos now, so many people are leaving their hometowns, and many ancestral halls have been scattered, let alone going to the fire pit after death?"

“That requires sending the body back home. This is not a job that ordinary people can do, and ordinary people cannot afford it.”

“But it's precisely because there is no such custom here, red lights and green clothes, that it's so easy to hang out in this place..."

Another maid said: "However, people here don't worship Huotangzi, and there are few big ancestral halls. They just rely on evil spirits to protect them, which makes it easier for the young master to find people."

“Otherwise, if there is a big family there and the incense is strong in the old place, it will be even harder to find that family if they hide..."

“Haha, if you want to find him out so easily, you don't need me to come over in person.”

 The young master, after listening to her words, smiled slightly and said, "How are the people who were brought back?"

 “Nothing decent.”

The maid next to him took back the towel in his hand and said with a smile: "The little shielding power on my body is of no use at all. I just asked him and she couldn't resist it. She must be crazy. There were also a few who lost their lives directly..."

The noble man shook his head and said: "Since he is dead, there is no way it is that person." "But if that family wants to hide, they will definitely hide in a place with shelter. Through this method, it should be more or less possible." Got involved with him..."

 “My noble lord, there are still some things that others have not brought...”

Just as he was doubting himself, suddenly, a trembling voice sounded from the bottom of the steps, but it was the incense master Zheng Daxiang.

He was originally not qualified to interrupt at this time, but he suddenly spoke boldly and said: "We use a bronze mirror to reflect people's moral character, and we bring back those who should have reached the red line, but there are several places where people who have reached the red line are , but it's not easy to forcefully bring people back.”

“Just like Cao Xintang in the city, Mingzhou City Government Office, and the small courtyard in Plum Blossom Alley..."

“Yes, there is a village affiliated with the Red Lantern Club, and there are also some guys who have reached the red line, but the shopkeeper there is tough and won't let them take people.”

"Um?"

Hearing what he said, the two maids beside the nobleman were a little displeased at first and glanced outside.

Zheng Daxiang shivered in his heart, just knelt down and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

The nobleman listened, but looked down at Master Zheng Daxiang who was kneeling at the foot of the steps, and suddenly said: "You are a villain."

“Qing Yi naturally understands where to look and where not to look.”

"But the Zhuangzi you mentioned last is not the same as those places. There is no reason to protect one's shortcomings at a red light. I don't think the shopkeeper in that Zhuangzi dared to stop the green-clothed evil ghost. If you do it forcefully, there is no reason why you can't lead him away. Someone come.”

"Now I'm running back empty-handed. I'm running back. If I didn't tell you, I wouldn't know. But you brought it up on your own initiative. You don't seem to be afraid of taking the blame. Do you have a grudge against the shopkeeper of Zhuangzi?"

 “Haha, you want to use my hand to get rid of your enemies?”

When Master Zheng Daxiang heard this, his body trembled violently and cold sweat poured down his face.

He did not dare to speak, but kowtowed vigorously.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I felt that the red light at the door behind me seemed to have a strange light.

 The red light was hanging outside, did she...hear it?

At this moment, it even felt as if a pair of cold eyes were staring directly at my back. My whole body was stiff, and my whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

Now that I have offended everyone in the Red Lantern Club, if the Red Lantern Lady is also dissatisfied with me...

But the noble man stopped looking at him, and just continued to say to the maid next to him: "Originally, I didn't think of being able to shine directly on him, but after looking for these places with the power of darkness, I can use I used some means to find him..."

 “By what means?”

The maid next to him hesitated a little and reminded in a low voice: "The master said that the face of the ten surnames must be taken into consideration."

 “I just want to invite the descendants of that family to meet.”

The noble man smiled and said: "If nothing else is involved, how can you say that you are shameless?"

As he spoke, he said to the green-clothed evil ghost kneeling in front of him: "You don't have to do anything for two things, so I'll leave this job to you. Use your real skills to find this person."

The evil ghost in blue kowtowed and seemed to ask something in confusion.

After hearing this, the noble man glanced at it and showed a hint of displeasure: "How can you find it and you still need me to teach it?"

His eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly the whole courtyard felt slightly cold. A gust of cold wind blew in, and even the candlelight dimmed a bit. The evil ghost in green kowtowed his head.

Even the maid next to him smiled and said: "In a small place, there are always fewer people who can do things, so we can only provide coolies."

 Everyone around seemed a little stressed and didn't dare to say anything.

Just at this moment, Zheng Xiangzhu, who was kneeling in front of the steps, was suddenly thinking. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I am willing to work for you to accomplish this."

The nobleman in the hall glanced at Master Zheng Xiang, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't mind at all, and said, "I just told you what you were thinking. Your mother-in-law was hanging at the door, so I guess she heard it."

“You also know that she will definitely not be able to spare you this time, so you want to seek a chance of survival from me, right?”

Zheng Daxiang Master bowed his head deeply, but did not dare to say a word.

Just now his little idea was exposed by the noble man, and he was already at the end of his rope. He was afraid that there would be no way to survive in the Red Lantern Club, but he was also very decisive and immediately wanted to seize this last opportunity...

“It doesn't matter, I like to see you people struggling to survive.”

Looking at him like this, the noble man actually laughed: "Qingyi is just an evil ghost after all, and he doesn't have a bright mind. You can understand what I mean by looking at him."

“Since you're here in a hurry, then go and help!”

 “If it's done, let it be.”

"If it doesn't work out, I'll leave you to your mother-in-law..."
