Twilight Boundary Chapter 237

Chapter 237 The vicious dog begs for a corpse

"To find out the other party's background, you have to go into the forest and take a look, right?"

Hu Ma stood outside the forest and looked inside. He didn't know how deep it was, let alone what was inside.

Even though it is bright now, there seems to be a permeating yin energy inside. Now he wants to learn more skills, and his curiosity is more intense.

But after thinking about it, I might as well forget it. I just watch what Agu Zhang does and understand more. But it would be bad if I don't listen to other people's arrangements and cause trouble.

However, speaking of it, I am more curious about Agu Zhang.

Not only can she make incense arrays, but she also seems to be able to directly use some kind of power, such as using the residual smoke from the incense array to create a curtain, covering everyone from the evil eyes. If you think about it, she That hand is quite magical.

But think about it, ghosts have a lot of work to do, but they can't all rely on living.

If you want to build a doorway, you must have some real stuff in your hands.

From the beginning to now, he has gradually gained an understanding of the art of ghost walking. There are different levels of ghost walking. They mostly rely on experience and various activities to deal with evil spirits. Moreover, most of them do not stick to any art and have useful things. , can be used.

 And many of their own skills have been learned from others, such as raising little angels, which is the most typical example.

 However, no matter how much you learn from others, there are always some things that others cannot learn. These things are what support the door.

“Each doorway has an entrance sign.”

Hu Ma thought silently in her heart: "Before we, the Sui Shou people, just started eating Tai Sui, building up strength, and practicing postures, once we understand the key to 'death' and start refining a part of the body to become death, that's when we enter." doorway."

“The same is true for the minister of orders. Before he entered the profession, he only worked as a doctor, taking medicine and diagnosing diseases. But after he gained the ability to help the dying people to stay alive, he entered the profession.”

“The sign of the door to the trick school is that there is a real thing in their fake work?”

Now I am getting more and more curious: "Then what is the sign of the entrance to ghost walking?"

I have also thought about whether I should ask Aunt Zhang directly about these questions. I feel that she is an honest person, and she might tell me if I ask.

But considering that this kind of thing is very taboo in the world, I still don't ask.

As for the matter of stealing lessons, Hu Ma didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

Didn't the tigers all say that the Hu family are the ancestors of the ghost people? So what's the point of secretly learning something of your own?

While thinking about it, I waited for Aunt Zhang to eat before asking her if she wanted to rest. After all, she was busy all night yesterday and didn't close her eyes.

Aunt Zhang said, "It doesn't matter if you rest or not, I'm used to it."

“But I burned all the incense yesterday, so I still have to find a place to buy some and make up for it with some paper.”

"That's easy to say, just go to the town ahead and buy some."

Hu Ma agreed and went back to say hello to Chao Shi and Butler Zhou.

 Go to a town ahead to rest for a while and get some water.

 No one else had any objections, including the most anxious among them, Butler Zhou. Counting the time, they had already set out for five or six days.

Hu Ma was well prepared, and Aunt Zhang was very capable. Although everyone followed her and followed the rules, which was a bit restrictive, they also avoided a lot of trouble. Overall, the speed of the trip was actually very fast.

Now they have left the boundaries of Mingzhou Prefecture and arrived in Gunzhou.

 Go all the way, cross the Shajiang River, pass by Dongchang Prefecture, and then take the Pingnan Ancient Road, and then take the road straight to the big stone cliff of Lingshou Prefecture.

 At this time, Butler Zhou also noticed it.

He was originally from an acting background, and logically speaking, he was no stranger to this world. However, when he was in his twenties, he suffered a disaster and was rescued by the Li family of Dashouya. Almost sixty.

 I haven't been involved in the world for nearly 40 years, and those experiences have long been unfamiliar. Now I still talk less and just listen to the arrangements of Hu Ma and Aunt Zhang.

I thought about going to the town ahead to rest, but unexpectedly, after walking for several hours, I couldn't find a decent place. I also passed two villages in the middle, but they were sparsely populated. The few living people were hiding here. It's so tight that you can't even scream.

There is no smoke from cooking fires in eight villages for ten miles, let alone a paper-making shop that can help with incense, candles, and yellow paper.

 Everyone was a little surprised for a moment, and Hu Ma was even more confused when looking at the map. Logically speaking, this place shouldn't be so desolate.

Fortunately, after noon, Hu Ma met a caravan with more than a dozen big horses and mules. Hu Ma followed the rules of the river and lake and went up to salute and asked, only to learn unexpectedly:

"It's a hundred miles around and it's desolate. I don't know, but a few months ago, there was a banditry here. There was a ruthless bandit who killed a lot of people. He pulled up a large team of thieves and charged and looted everywhere. The momentum was astonishing. .”

“The people around us have all fled, whether they are dead or fleeing!”

"But those thieves also committed many evil deeds. Some expert who couldn't stand it took action. They led the village and killed them all overnight. I heard that the corpses were piled up in a hill on Niangdanzi Mountain. From now on, no one dares to cause trouble..."

“But those who escaped just escaped, and such a large area was left desolate.”

"As you go forward, it will become even more desolate. You should speed up your journey as soon as possible. When you reach the Shazi River, you will be able to see living people."

 “Is there such a thing?”

Hu Ma originally thought about going to a town twenty miles away to have a look, but after hearing this, he gave up the idea. I just accompanied Smiley, took the money, and exchanged some food from these caravans. I also asked for a few packages of incense, candles, and yellow knives. After all, the world is so troubled now, no matter whether there are people in this caravan. The people are equipped with the corresponding things.

Although this caravan saw that it was a supporter and didn't want to get into trouble, after all, they talked nicely and they were all traveling, so they gave it to Hu Ma and the others without charging more.

 They walked south by themselves, and they could quickly find a place to replenish their supplies.

Both sides were happy. Xi Ma carried the food and other supplies to the car, then opened the donkey cart and let them pass.

As we continued forward, we found that it was becoming increasingly desolate, with few living people to be seen. There were white bones on the roadside from time to time, staring at two black holes, watching them pass by.

Looks like it's easy to say that, but the banditry here is really quite big.

 Speaking of it, it is different from the world he was in before. This is a troubled, evil, and demonic world.

If in my last life, I had encountered such a time, while the emperor was skinned and the officials did not dare to show their heads, whenever there was a disaster somewhere and it was impossible to survive, someone would immediately raise a banner to rebel and conquer the world.

 But in this world, there is a mysterious power that just stabilizes the situation.

Just like the man who killed all the thieves in one night...

What kind of person does it take to kill an entire village in one night?

These things are just hiding in Mingzhou Prefecture, but there is really no way to imagine them.

However, after being reminded, they did not dare to be careless. They all cheered up, speeded up their journey, and left this place.

This night, of course, there was no need to think about resting. We found a deserted village to stay and set out again at dawn.

But seeing that this wasteland was about to pass, Aunt Zhang became a little uneasy. She looked back from time to time. Hu Ma noticed something and also looked back.

There was nothing there, just a few wild dogs on the roadside, squatting in the grass, watching them pass with red eyes.

In this kind of wasteland, wild dogs are really not uncommon, and they live in groups, just like wolves.

If you really meet them alone, maybe they can really eat people.

 “Auntie, do you have a problem?”

Seeing Agu Zhang turn her head several times, Hu Ma leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Aunt Zhang also frowned, as if a little unsure, and said, "Look at those wild dogs, how many are they?"

Hu Ma was startled for a moment, and looked back. He couldn't see clearly, and said, "There seem to be three or four of them?"

Aunt Zhang asked: “Did they scream just now?”

This stopped Hu Ma from asking, thought for a moment, and said: "I called twice at first, but then it seemed like I just kept following behind..."

 Aunt Zhang suddenly had a worried look on her face.

Hu Ma became curious and didn't ask, but he paid attention to the wild dogs, and saw that they kept stalking from a distance, never getting closer, but never moving far away, until there was a guy who was stared at by it. Feeling furious, I threw a stone at them.

The wild dog was actually not afraid. He glanced at them with a sinister look, waited until they were farther away, and then continued to follow them.

 “The wild dogs here are no longer afraid of people...”

Hu Ma also thought silently, feeling more and more strange in her heart: "Dogs like to bark to hurt people, but why don't they bark? Why does Aunt Zhang care about this?"

He was already a little suspicious, but suddenly he stopped and quickly looked forward. He saw the man on the handlebar brandishing a whip and shouting loudly.

But on the road in front of the car, at some point, a few wild dogs appeared again. They squatted in the middle of the road and barked at the car from a distance. Following the sound of whips, they were also afraid, so they arrived again in despair. side of the road.

Aunt Zhang looked a little ugly when she saw him.

Hu Ma also cheered up immediately: "What's going on?"

He didn't understand what this meant, but he also knew that something was definitely wrong.

Aunt Zhang sighed lowly and glanced at the empty and desolate surroundings. Behind the grass, there were countless dark red eyes. She whispered: "The barking dogs and the non-barking dogs are both normal, but they only bark twice." If you follow me all the time, it's so evil..."

“I look at it, we must have encountered a cadaver dog.”

Hu Ma was startled: "What is this?"

 “A wild dog that eats dead people.”

Aunt Zhang whispered: "They are used to eating corpses, and they are addicted to it. They also know that fresh food is delicious. When they see us carrying coffins, they come over to beg for it. They want us to give them the dead people in the coffins to eat."

“It only barked twice, and then it kept following, just waiting for us to take the initiative to give it to them..."

“Now that we've blocked the road, I'm a little impatient with the wait. If I don't give the body to them, I'm afraid they will rush up and **** it away...”
