Twilight Boundary Chapter 226

Chapter 226 Opportunities of the Li Family

It's not yet time to get up, but I see that the shopkeeper of Five Ghosts is already making preparations. Xiang Girl is lying on a soft couch on the second floor, with many red threads already tied around her body.

Some of these red threads were tied to her ankles, some to her wrists, and one end of some was passed into her mouth. She didn't know why, but she bit it. All the red threads were intertwined vertically and horizontally, forming a circle around her. I made a net with small bells tied to it.

 Looks weird and mysterious.

The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts put on a white robe, a tall hat on his head, and a yellow talisman around his waist. He also took out the five small bottles he usually carried around his waist and placed them separately. The scented girl's head and limbs.

As he silently recited the incantation, among the scent, five little ghosts could be vaguely seen appearing, surrounding the kneeling figure of the fragrant girl.

When he saw the girl, he lit the incense and began to circle around the incense girl, chanting a mantra in his mouth.

 “Is this a cure?”

Hu Ma was also eye-opening, but she felt that this was more like casting a spell.

But Guanshi Xu said that the Mingmen Dao means that they have the ability to determine life and death and control destiny, and they should not be underestimated.

 Just widen your eyes and give yourself more experience.

“One soul leaves the body and two souls remain. The body is guarded by karma to protect itself. When the bell rings at midnight, people are quiet. The body is safe and stable, waiting for the soul to return..."

As the voice of the five ghost shopkeepers chanting the curse became louder and clearer, suddenly the five little ghosts around them raised their heads at the same time and pulled the red thread. Suddenly, all the bells strung on the red thread began to ring. , there was a continuous sound.

 The sound was indescribably uncomfortable, as if the soul was about to be ripped out of the body.

Hu Ma closed her eyes slightly and just tried to restrain herself. The waiters around her, as well as Butler Zhou, could no longer bear it and took a step back.

As for the Xiang girl who was in the middle of the ringing, it was even more difficult to imagine what she was suffering. She was unconscious and unconscious, but she actually frowned and seemed to be in extreme pain.

Just when the ringing of the bell reached its peak, the five-ghost shopkeeper who was walking around the fragrant girl suddenly stopped, followed a strange gait, stretched out his hand to grab a red thread, and pulled gently.

 “Shua!”

All the red threads are tied with live buckles. It looks complicated, but in fact there is only one. Shopkeeper Wugui stretched out his hand and pulled out the red thread. All the bells strung on it rang for the last time, and then they all fell happily. Around the body of the fragrant girl.

The sound rang for the last time, then gradually stopped, and the bells became a mess.

The shopkeeper Wu Gui knelt down and looked at the bells. Hu Ma also followed suit and surprisingly discovered that several of the bells were broken.

Outsiders didn't know the details, but looked at the Five Ghosts shopkeeper with concern. They saw that he had been observing for a long time, and even waved for paper and pen. He seemed to have written down something. Then he stood up and invited Hu Ma and the old housekeeper to sit down outside. .

"The girl you brought here doesn't look good. She is indeed in a state where her soul has left her body and cannot return to her body. But do you know what's more serious?"

 He lowered his voice: "She had a nail smashed into her head."

 “Nail?”

 The old housekeeper was panicked after hearing this.

Hu Ma suddenly remembered that she had heard Xiang girl say this, but she had seen it herself and found that there were no traces of nails on her head, but the five ghost shopkeepers had used their Siming sect's method to find out. .

 The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts sighed and said: "People have three souls born from Yuanjue, also known as the soul of the past, the soul of cause and effect, and the soul of guarding the body."

“Now we see that her soul has left her body and she is unconscious, but in fact this nail is the heaviest nail, hurting her soul and making her unable to hold on to her body.”

"As a result, she is left with two souls, one disabled and the other injured. The living soul came back too late, and her life may not be saved."

Huma doesn't understand these things, so he can only listen carefully and gain insights.

 But the old housekeeper seemed to understand, and was frightened and panicked: "Who dares to do such cruel things to a young lady from the Guidongzi clan?"

“Cao Xintang helps people treat their illnesses, but does not care about their grudges.”

Shopkeeper Five Ghosts said: "But I did intervene even if I didn't intervene, so you don't have to worry too much. I'm protecting her with a longevity lock for the time being, and her life is safe for the time being, but I'm not very capable at what to do specifically. I'll make a decision after I ask my little boss for advice."

"However, the young master should take a rest now, so I can only ask him again tomorrow."

“You guys are looking for a place to stay first, and come over early tomorrow morning!”

The old housekeeper was worried when he heard that he was still waiting. For him, it would be best to wake up the young boss first.

 But Hu Ma realized that this was an opportunity and agreed.

Caoxintang kept patients but not guests. Hu Ma had already rejected Manager Xu's invitation, and it was not good to go there again, so he simply came out and found an inn to stay.

Seeing the old housekeeper squatting beside the Cao Xintang building, looking pitiful and helpless, he called him over and stayed in the hotel together. It was late at night, and he didn't even wash his face, so he lay down on the bed. Fall into a deep sleep.

 As expected, Miss White Wine was already waiting when we entered the natal temple.

Seeing Hu Ma entering the temple, her voice rang out: "You are quite lucky, where did you pick up such a person?"

 “This is really a coincidence.”

Hu Ma then told how she helped Yang Gong and how she saved the girl.

However, of course, I didn't talk about the New Year's Book. I only said that my mother-in-law left a stick of incense and burned it to keep evil spirits away.

Everything that had nothing to do with the identity of the Hu family could not be discussed, so he explained everything in detail.

 Including things that fragrant girls will haunt in dreams.

"Since she is from the Li family of Guidongzi, it is not strange to be haunted by ghosts." After hearing this, Miss Baijiu sighed and said, "It's also your good fortune, and you got such a big opportunity for nothing."

Hu Ma wanted to ask for a long time, so she hurriedly said: "So, she really has a background?"

 “It has a history, but it's not that young.”

Miss White Wine said: "The so-called ghost cave people refer to the group of people in Lingshou Mansion who were ordered by the emperor to guard the ghost cave. It is said that there is a natural ghost cave there, and demons and evil spirits will come out of it to harm people."

"So, the emperor who was still in power at the time secretly appointed several powerful people with the ability to subjugate evil spirits to control this bad land. Over time, those families took root and multiplied in the surrounding area, becoming what it is today. The ghost cave family."

“I've seen that girl myself, and I can confirm that she does belong to the cave-keeper clan and has some innate abilities.”

Hu Ma thought about it and said, "The innate ability you mentioned means that she can attract spirits in dreams?"

"good."

Miss White Wine said: "Luring souls in dreams is no small skill. There are many people in the sect who can't practice it. This is a skill that is in her blood and cannot be faked."

With a low breath, Hu Ma was sure that Xiang Yatou had a good background, and then said: "The people of their clan are very capable?"

“The people of the Guidong clan are different from ordinary Jianghu gangs.”

Miss White Wine said: "They have been guarding the ghost cave for generations, and their families have inherited it. They rarely interact with other Jianghu sects, but they all have some extraordinary abilities that make people awe-inspiring. In Anzhou Prefecture, they also belong to a very famous mysterious family. ”

“It turns out he does have a background, but it's different from what I thought.”

Hu Ma also understood, laughed, and said: "I thought he was from the Wuchang Li family among the ten surnames..."

 “Ten surnames?”

When Miss Baijiu heard this, she was startled for a moment and said with a smile: "When you meet someone named Li, you think it's the Wuchang Li family. Why don't you just pick up a stone and think you've picked up gold?"

“When I meet a traveler with the surname Zhao, am I going to assume that he is from the Zhao family?”

“I met a child named Hu in the village. Should I assume that he belongs to the Hu family?”

Hu Ma panicked when he heard this: 'Don't make random assumptions...'

 “But then again…”

Miss Baijiu said: "The ten surnamed dragons are nowhere to be seen. Unless they are willing to show up, it will be difficult to find people related to them, let alone find them. But on the surface, the counties and state capitals , there are also some big families."

“When it comes to public fame, the reputation and power of these big families are greater than the ten surnames. The Li family of Guidongzi is one of them. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the local emperors of Lingshou Mansion.”

 “If you have the opportunity to make friends, don't miss it.”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma was startled and said with a smile: "But when your shopkeeper hears the name of this family, he can be tough in his words."

“It's because of the rules that I have to be tough.”

Miss Baijiu said: "Cao Xintang is a medical clinic and deals with a lot of people. You are here to save face, and he is here to save face. Do we still need our rules?"

"Of course you are different. Your family has been passed down for generations and you are sitting on a palace. To put it bluntly, the whole Anzhou people have to give it to you. In terms of foundation, it is indeed not comparable to you, the Red Lantern Empress. "

Hearing what she said, Hu Ma could understand.

 In counties, prefectures, prefectures, roads, and villages, the Red Lantern Lady's Association is a blood-eating gang that has occupied the capital of Mingzhou and is quite famous in and around the capital.

 But within a state, there are not only twenty but also more than a dozen prefectures.

The reputation of the Red Lantern Lady may spread throughout a state, but the farther away you are, the fewer people are selling face. But it sounds like the Li family of Guidongzi can really affect at least a state?

The old housekeeper was not bluffing, it was really not enough for the Red Lantern Lady to show up in front of others.

It's just that, alas, the Red Lantern Queen still didn't work hard enough.

The more powerful you are and the harder you work, the brothers under you will have more dignity when they go out to travel around the world, right?

"all in all…"

Miss White Wine also sighed and said: "You are indeed lucky. Not only did you save the young lady from Guidongzi, but you also have the opportunity to make this kindness even greater."

 “What are you really planning to do now?”

 “Doing a big favor?”

Hu Ma was startled for a moment and said: "That's not the case. We just want to save people and don't want anything in return..."

“…But his family can't forget this kindness, right?”
