Twilight Boundary Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Perfection

It's true that he wants to beat Cui Xie'er, and it's also true that he's feeling flustered right now.

Hu Ma doesn't want to cause trouble, but clay figurines are all very angry. This Cui Xie'er is targeting her in such a weird way every day, and if he doesn't respond, he might cause big trouble.

In addition, this guy's target is not just lip service. In the morning, Bai Taisui deducts his own money every time. Although compared with his current daily meal, Bai Taisui is insignificant, but this thing is his own life. , a copper plate is still money...

 Instead of dilly-dallying, it's better to get it done once and for all.

But even then, Hu Ma persuaded Xiao Hongtang first and asked her to help her secretly, thinking of giving this guy a black and blue face and teaching him a lesson.

 But, isn't this guy the most powerful in Zhuangzi besides the second master?

 Why is it so brittle?

While the friends around him were still panicking, Hu Ma had already rushed out of the village and dragged back Cui Xie'er, who had fallen into a wild jujube bush and was unconscious.

Looking at his pale face, he yelled for others to go to the woods to call the second master back, and at the same time he pinched him and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him. He broke out in a cold sweat and almost knelt down on him. .

 “What's wrong?”

Outside Zhuangzi, the second master's exclamation soon sounded. He had returned from patrolling the woods and was catching up with the messenger.

 When he saw the scene in the village, he glanced at Hu Ma like a ghost, and hurriedly shouted: "Bring the black ointment quickly."

Not all the meat in Roushan can be eaten. For example, black Tai Sui will make you sick or even poisoned if you eat it.

But Hei Tai Sui is not useless. It can be cut and mixed with various herbs collected in the mountains to make an ointment, which is called black ointment. It is best used to treat external injuries.

Er Ye is short of everything else here, but he has a lot of black oil ointment, which is used to allow these boys to fight boldly and practice their moves.

The second master grabbed a handful of the black lard-like ointment, tore open Cui Xie'er's shirt and rubbed it on his chest.

His technique worked better than Hu Ma's. After a while, Cui Xie'er groaned in his throat and slowly woke up. But as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Hu Ma looking at him with worry, and his face suddenly became frightened. , shouted loudly: "There is a ghost, there is a ghost."

 “Stop being so embarrassed, get on the bed and rest.”

The second master slapped him on the head angrily, and almost slapped him back again.

It doesn't matter whether there are ghosts or not, but those who learn skills from the second master are so afraid of ghosts, that's nonsense.

 “You come with me!”

Second Master asked someone to help Cui Xie'er back to the room, then stood up and glared at Hu Ma, then turned and walked towards the main room.

Hu Ma was also worried: "Are you going to be punished?"

Unexpectedly, he entered the house. The second master turned around and closed the door. He suddenly turned around and looked at Hu Ma with a look of surprise on his face:

 “How did you knock him unconscious?”

"I…"

Hu Ma didn't react in time, and said cautiously: “I used a little strategy...”

  “That's not what I'm talking about.”

The second master said nervously: "I mean, this little scorpion has been with me for almost three years. He has been exposed to blood and food mines once. The fire is very bright and he is obedient. The family has given him a wife. He He didn't even dare to hold a woman's hand, how could you knock him unconscious?”

 “Even the fire almost went out!”

　　“That's how we fight…”

Huma was also a little unclear, so he gestured and described it.

The second master's face darkened, he thought for a moment, then called Hu Ma over and put his hand on his abdomen:

 “Perform merit!”

Hu Ma didn't know why, and didn't dare to neglect it. He could only follow the usual method of doing the exercises and activate the fire energy in his body.

At this moment, if the stove in the lower abdomen was just a pile of red coals, then his current exercise would be like filling the stove with wind, and the coals would suddenly light up, and then come out again. There was a blazing fire.

He felt that his body became hot instantly, especially where the second master's hand was pressed, a burst of fire was emitted, and the second master's palm bounced away.

 “My mother…”

The second master took a few steps back, his voice sounding like he was groaning: "Why is this stove burning so brightly?"

"this…"

How could Hu Ma answer these questions and wondered: "Is this very prosperous?"

 “It's hot to the touch, but it's still not prosperous?”

The second master was a little frantic, and then he suddenly reacted and looked at Hu Ma: "Usually, in addition to asking Xiao Hongtang to bring you steamed buns and delicious food, does mother-in-law bring anything else?"

Hu Ma knew that the second master had already thought of it, so she hesitated for a moment, then nodded carefully while facing the big eyes.

Er Ye's voice trembled slightly: “Don't you bring Qing Tai Sui with you every time?”

Just as Hu Ma was about to nod, he sensed something from the second master's expression.

Although the current second master is confirming with himself, you can tell from his expression that he has actually guessed what Xiao Hongtang brings to him every day.

 Thinking of the relationship between the second master and his mother-in-law, no matter how obvious the lie was at this time, it would be pointless.

 So he just remained silent, neither saying yes nor no.

"OMG…"

The second master slowly patted his forehead, and his voice changed in tone: "Mother-in-law, did you invite Mr. Tai Sui to your home?"

“Second Master, is this emo?”

Looking at the wizened look of the second master, Hu Ma did not dare to speak too loudly.

 At this time, the second master's eyes were obviously a bit wrong. It's like the person who had five zeros behind the bride price suddenly encountered the same situation as two zeros behind three in the bathing center.

He looked at Hu Ma and wanted to speak several times, but kept his mouth shut.

I was so old -fashioned, but it was directly made of flax as a piece of meat.

 I originally thought that my behavior was an astonishing waste.

If it wasn't because he was grateful for his mother-in-law's life-saving grace and knew that the Hu family was facing such a big deal now, he would have been reluctant to part with it. However, this large piece of green Tai Sui was almost eaten by Hu Ma, and he realized that it turned out that he This painful love is just a snack.

  No, how could someone eat that precious gold thing?

 Wouldn't it be better to switch to small gold pancakes to marry a wife and buy a house?

Our second master is not new to the world. He went to the city to hang out when he was young.

Young men from wealthy families don't eat like this, and all their ideas are used to support the old man's life. Not to mention the rich businessmen and nobles, even the high-ranking men in the Red Lantern Society cannot afford such blood food...

 …No, you eat that every day, and you are still thinking about me, a piece of green Tai Sui?

 “Actually, I don't eat it every day…”

Hu Ma was a little worried and replied in a low voice: "Occasionally a day or two..."

　　“It's not ridiculous to eat for a day or two every once in a while…”

Er Ye sighed with emotion: "That thing is not for people to eat, it is for exchange for money..."

 “I would say that occasionally there is a day or two when I don't have anything to eat.”

Hu Ma thought to herself: "Besides, if we exchanged this thing for money, wouldn't it be eaten by others?"

Of course I won't talk about it, for fear of irritating the second master again.

 Fortunately, Er Ye's sixty years of boyhood skills were no small feat. After a cup of tea and two packs of cigarettes, he slowly recovered.

He sighed and said to Hu Ma, "That's all, it's a good thing after all."

“But you should have told me earlier so that I could help you change the talisman in time...”

　　The big eyes and the small eyes are staring at each other.

Hu Ma thought about it: "You didn't tell me anything about changing talismans before. You just said that you can tell how good you are by looking at the pig's butt..."

“Who would have thought you could enter the country so quickly?”

The second master was also thinking about it, but suddenly he remembered something: "Are you a greedy girl?"

Hu Madu was stunned by this question: "Is there anyone else who's not hungry?"

However, I was probably thinking about something all the time and distracted my attention, so I didn't look very impatient.

 “Be careful, others are taking it step by step, but you are so violent all of a sudden, and you are more likely to do bad things.”

The second master warned solemnly: "Don't touch the married people in the village, and you can't touch the widows. Even the sheepfold, you should stay away from it..."

　　“What are all these things…”

Hu Ma was speechless: "I'm greedy, but not that greedy..."

The second master also saw that he was not like those unsatisfactory people, so he lit the fire kang again, took out the willow branches that Hu Ma had brought back from the forest before, and asked Hu Ma to take off his coat and sit next to the fire to wait. With.

Muttered to myself for a while, then burned one end of the willow branch and traced it on Hu Ma's chest again. It was still the same as last time, feeling cold to the touch and the Yin Qi eroding the bones.

 But the difference is that flax has strong fire power now, and the yin energy that reaches the body will be dissipated when it is rushed by the fire energy.

"Huh?"

Er Ye frowned and traced it over and over again, but the fire in Hu Ma's body was too strong and he couldn't trace it.

It was like a brush that was short of ink. I traced it several times before I could barely draw it.

After the rune barely worked, the second master also looked at the dry and shrunken willow branch in his hand, threw it directly into the fire, and sighed:

“We have to go to your godmother's place to get another one.”

Hu Ma asked curiously: "Do you need to change it often?"

"certainly."

Er Ye explained: "Lighting up the stove means using the Yin energy to seal the Yang energy in your body, so that the heat will grow stronger and stronger."

“But as your fire started to burn, the earlier Yin Qi was gradually diluted. At this time, more Yin Qi will be used to replenish the Yang Talisman for you.”

 “For us, this is called changing symbols.”

“Normally, after changing the talisman once, you can go directly to the mine.”

 “But you...”

 The master has never taught me...

Hu Ma thought of the blood Tai Sui her mother-in-law sent to her every day, and sighed lowly and said: "What can I do? It's all because my mother-in-law is good to me."

"Huh?"

The second master looked at him in surprise and said, "There are still some ideas!"

“Since you know it's not easy to be a mother-in-law, don't be lazy.”

He stood up and said, "Now, now that you've reached your peak, it's time for me to teach you some real skills."
