Twilight Boundary Chapter 199

Chapter 199: The person who keeps the boundary

“Wherever there is trouble, the ghosts will go…”

Hearing the unpretentious and extremely simple words of the old man holding the cow next to him, Hu Ma felt that his heart was shaken for a moment.

The mother-in-law has been back to the ancestral temple for more than a year. He has also adapted to the life of the Blood Food Gang that revolves around harvesting Tai Sui's flesh and blood in order to survive. Over time, he has even forgotten these things. Like the mother-in-law, he walks between the villages every day and gives people food. A person who removes evil spirits.

 There are very few ghosts in the Blood Food Gang, only one or two occasionally, and their temperament is completely different from that of my mother-in-law.

They have become people who help the people in the Blood Food Gang make money, and they no longer have the smoke and mirrors in the village.

 “Brother Huma…”

A cold little hand held Hu Ma's palm, and Xiao Hongtang also rushed back. Hu Ma asked in a low voice: "Xiao Hongtang, are you the one who went to notify these ghosts?"

Xiao Hongtang was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, I ran for a long time before I ran out, said something to Grandpa Tiger, and then came back!"

 “Not Xiao Hongtang?”

Hu Ma was also slightly startled. These ghosts said that someone sent a messenger to deliver the letter. They knew there was trouble here and came over. He thought it was Xiao Hongtang...

 But if it's not Xiao Hongtang, who is it?

While confused, I saw the ghost walkers smiling and saying hello to each other, and suddenly I felt enlightened.

 Perhaps this issue is no longer important.

Perhaps just when I was very busy, a passing ghost man saw him and sent a little messenger to inform him. It was just as natural as if someone in the village was in trouble, he would go back to the village to report a message.

　　Once a ghost man has received faith, he will send a little emissary to the other side, and then another person will receive faith.

 After coming and going, all the ghost walkers within a hundred miles around got the letter, so they all packed up their belongings and came here.

only…

Hu Ma was a little confused and whispered: "Xiao Hongtang, I don't quite understand, why are they here?"

 “Aren't they worried that the trouble here will be so serious that it will cause trouble for themselves?”

 “Ghost walkers don't want this.”

Xiao Hongtang also looked at the figures gathered on the mountain road, swaying her two little braids tied with red ropes, and said crisply: "My mother-in-law said, ghost walkers are people who seek life along the boundaries. "

 “Wherever the boundaries are blurred, that's where they will go!”

 “Boundary?”

Hu Ma thought: "A two-divided world bounded by dusk?"

Suddenly I understood, and there was an unspeakable emotion surging through me.

 Dusk is the boundary, yin and yang are divided into two parts.

There are many evil spirits in this world, especially at night, when evil spirits are so noisy that living people dare not even step out of their houses.

But under so many evil spirits, people still have to live, and they can live because of this boundary. No matter how powerful the evil spirits are, they can only come out at night. During the day, this world still belongs to them. of.

They can cultivate, work, and harvest Tai Sui during the day to maintain their own lives and make this world still like a world of living people.

 This limit is the life of a living person.

But there are always some powerful evil spirits, and there are also some high-ranking people who have great magic power. They can make clouds cover the sun, or even just let their evil spirits breathe over, thus messing up this boundary.

Let the day and night here be endless, and there will be trouble everywhere in broad daylight, so that this world no longer looks like a living person, and also makes it impossible for these people who are working hard to survive...

 But no matter how much they don't care, there are always people who do.

These ghost walkers don't know what's going on here, and they don't know who's shadow is behind all this.

 But they just saw the chaos here, so they came.

The reason is so simple that it is unbelievable for reincarnations like myself. Are there not smart people among them who know that this sudden trouble is very abnormal and is most likely caused by something beyond the limits of their power?

 They just didn't think about it and came just because there was trouble here.

Just because of the simplest truth: the world is in chaos and suffering, and if you don't help, you can't survive.

It is impossible to describe the emotions surging in Hu Ma's heart at this moment. He only felt that the fatigue, dizziness, and anger accumulated over the past few days were suddenly knocked away by some kind of force.

 He used to trust his mother-in-law, but he didn't understand her. He had always been wary and distant from the world.

He would feel angry towards those who did not care about the life and death of these people, but deep down in his heart, he would sometimes feel that those people had done nothing.

  The reincarnated people come from the era of information explosion. What haven't you seen?

But it was only at this moment that he suddenly saw something at the bottom of the world. He had a vague feeling of being hit in the heart by the simplest and oldest things...

"No matter how chaotic the world is, there are always people doing something..."

After thinking about this, the fatigue on Hu Ma's face seemed to dissipate a little, and she whispered: "The boundaries are not born there..."

 “Let's go, Xiao Hongtang, let's go and help too.”

Xiao Hongtang looked at Hu Ma's appearance, her eyes curled up with laughter, and she nodded vigorously.

Together, they followed the ghosts who gathered from various places and walked towards the hillside.

At this moment, it seems that there are no reincarnations, and there are no little shopkeepers in the Red Lantern Lady Club. There are only the grandsons of the old ghosts in Dayang Village, and the little messengers. When they arrived at the hillside, they found that seven or eight people had already arrived in advance.

They are all ghost walkers from various places, with various services and costumes. If they have one thing in common, it is probably that they all look poorer, because they usually walk in villages on the edge of each other, and there are no How much oil and water.

Erguotou once said that ghost walkers are a way to burn money, but these people don't look like they have money to burn.

Now these people have surrounded a tomb on the **** from a distance.

It is said to be a tomb, but it looks like a small earthen bag. A small half of it has collapsed, and the rotten coffin inside the tomb can be vaguely seen.

 The strange thing is that from time to time, black smoke floats out of this grave.

You can't see it clearly with the naked eye, but you can see it with the peripheral vision of your eyes. It's steaming all the time, but it's not stopping at all.

Hu Ma didn't know why they came here in unison. In the past few days, there were endless troubles in various villages. He ran here and there just to save people, and his head became big.

Such a strange thing as black smoke rising from a grave is really out of the question.

 But there must be a reason why these ghost walkers found this place as soon as they came here.

In the crowd, there was an old man holding a smoking pole, discussing in a low voice with the people around him: "There is always a root cause for trouble everywhere. I think this grave is not good, and the evil spirit spreads out from here. "

　　“That's it.”

A middle-aged woman with flowers on her hair said loudly: "The evil man in the tomb has messed up all the trades around here, and even the trades in other places have been attracted. If we seal this place first, people around here will no longer be able to live in peace."

 In the crowd, other ghost walkers also nodded, thinking they agreed with their statement.

Someone said: "Then seal the root of the disaster first, and then spread it out to get rid of the evil spirits. How about you guys start now?"

"Whoever has a trick, use it."

 “Let's do it…”

　　The crowd that gathered surged up and started shouting loudly.

Huma looked at them from behind the crowd and could also see that these ghost walkers had different abilities. Some of them were very clever. They also held locks, bells and other old objects similar to magic weapons in their hands.

But there are also people who seem to have no moral character. It may be that the village is familiar with the witches and wizards who can suppress evil spirits and can help deal with them, just like the old sheep-skin uncle in Mang Village in Laoyin Mountain.

 But they were not afraid, nor did they fight over each other, nor did they hide their clumsiness. They just laughed and discussed coming to help.

Someone said: "When the evil energy is released, it is nothing more than affecting the surrounding feng shui through the earth veins, water veins, and qi veins. Which type does this tomb bun belong to?"

Someone else said: "I can't take care of it now. It's safe to seal it all."

 “Then I'll seal the earth line for him first!”

As the people nearby listened, some people volunteered and took out their belongings. Some people took bone sticks and circled the grave buns on the ground to draw talismans. They also poured some ashes from the picks on their shoulders and sprinkled them around, and then Light the fire and let it burn slowly.

　　Everyone covered their noses one after another: "Shit?"

The ghost man of Feng Dimai glared: "It's mixed with black Tai Sui and kept in the pig pen for three years!"

 “Isn't that still shit?”

Everyone was helpless and shouted again: "Who has the unique skills to make someone seal the Qi meridians?"

Hearing someone shouting, the middle-aged woman said, "I have one, please help me pull the rope."

As she spoke, she took out her purse from her arms and took out a red ball of thread. The people around her helped her hold her hands.

 First cut wood from the side, build a frame around the tomb dumplings, then fix it on the frame with red thread, hold one end, and spin around the tomb dumplings while chanting loudly.

After several turns, the red lines wrapped around the tomb bun, and even the smell of excrement faded away.

 “I'm here to seal its water veins.”

An old man from the crowd stepped out and took out a few nails that were covered with rust but were polished underneath. He boasted to the people around him: "Do you see what's on these nails?"

 “Yin bone jade!”

"This is a drought demon that my grandfather burned back then. The one he burned is the best at overcoming water. Let me nail it to the four directions and see how it behaves."

This tomb bun should be the landing point that Huang Xian said he would blow in one breath.

Hu Ma had been busy for a few days, but he didn't even know that this breath was here. He didn't even know that if this breath blew over, it would land in a certain place and cause trouble. Moreover, even if he knew, he might not be able to find it. method to seal it.

These people have high or low levels of human behavior, but they are all very experienced, and they are closed off while joking.

Watching them burn talismans and recite incantations on the grave buns, Hu Ma was also enthusiastic and wanted to step forward to help.

“You are the little shopkeeper from the Blood Food Society, right?”

But the people inside thought he was in the way and pushed him out. Many people looked at him and said with a smile: "How many days have you not closed your eyes?"

 “Let's rest first!”

“Before, people from the Blood Food Gang looked at this place, and none of us were willing to come. Now look, the Blood Food Gang are not all bad guys who only care about money and food..."
