Twilight Boundary Chapter 241

 Chapter 241 Headless Imp (third update)

“Auntie, what should we do now?”

Hearing Agu Zhang's voice, even though she was sighing, everyone immediately found their backbone and hurriedly turned their heads to look over.

It was night now, and they also picked up a lantern in their car, but the light was not clear, and her face was a little dark, and she could not see any expression, but her voice was calm, which made people feel at ease.

But she seemed to have an idea, so she didn't say anything, but walked to the roadside, took out the few remaining incense sticks from her bag, burned it silently, and then waited patiently until a gust of wind blew. Come.

At some point on the side of the road, a headless little ghost appeared, stretching out his two hands and groping around randomly.

Aunt Zhang frowned: "Where is your head? Why did you lose it again?"

 The headless kid stretched out his two small hands and gestured silently.

Aunt Zhang said angrily: "Go and get it back quickly."

 The headless kid was still gesticulating but did not move.

But at this moment, Hu Ma suddenly saw a red shadow flashing beside him. Xiao Hongtang sat on the handle of the donkey cart. There was something vaguely in the small basket slung on her arm, half covered by the cloth. She suddenly became alert and stretched out her head. When I came over to take a look, I suddenly felt a little confused:

 “What are you doing with a man's head? Give it to him!”

Xiao Hongtang was unhappy and said: "It was lost, I picked it up at the back..."

“Is it possible to pick up someone's head that fell on the ground?”

Hu Ma was a little surprised, and hurriedly glared at Xiao Hongtang, asking her to quickly return her head to the headless kid.

The headless kid took the light paper head and put it on his neck. The paper head came to life and blinked.

Aunt Zhang didn't expect that the head was actually in Xiao Hongtang's place. She glanced at it in surprise. Then, patiently, she pressed the headless kid's shoulder, said a few words to it in a low voice, and pointed at it. He tapped lightly on his forehead.

 The headless kid understood and nodded vigorously. This point was lost again.

He hurriedly squatted down and groped with his hands on the ground. Xiao Hongtang squatted aside and pushed it over curiously.

 “Now, all come to me!”

Aunt Zhang turned around and looked at Hu Ma, Housekeeper Zhou, the shopkeeper and the two waiters, and said, "We are panicking now. We may be attacked at any time. The atmosphere here is so fierce that we didn't even go out during the day." , it's even harder to go out at night.”

"You can only listen to me now. You will listen to whatever I say later. If you don't obey, you will be in trouble..."

 Since they discovered that they were circling, everyone was frightened and nodded repeatedly.

When Agu Zhang saw that they agreed, she took out a plate of thin hemp rope from the bag, with pieces of bone fragments strung on it, like bells.

She pulled out the end of the rope, starting from her own wrist, and tied it to the wrists of everyone present one by one. She circled each person in a circle, and the last end was tied to the ankle of the headless kid. Everyone said:

 “If you stay, you will be led by a hemp rope!”

“No matter what you encounter, what you see, or what you hear, don't panic or get confused, and don't pull the hemp rope on your hand.”

“If you are really timid, ask the shopkeeper to knock you out, put you on a donkey cart, and sleep with the coffin.”

Nowadays, everyone is really scared, but they still don't want to be knocked unconscious. They just tremble and nod vigorously in agreement.

After making these arrangements, Aunt Zhang had the car inspected again, and a yellow talisman was affixed to the donkey's head.

He said: "Let's go!"

The headless kid immediately nodded. As soon as he nodded, his head suddenly rolled to the ground again. He didn't even pick it up. Instead, he climbed on all fours and crawled forward quickly.

Xiao Hongtang, however, rushed over with a whoosh, picked up the paper man's head, and looked back at Hu Ma with a questioning look in his eyes.

Before Hu Ma could speak, Agu Zhang said: "You can hold it for him first."

Little Hongtang was happy all of a sudden, put her head in the basket, and then climbed onto Hu Ma's back.

At this moment, the headless kid was already crawling forward while groping, and the speed was not slow, and everyone was busy keeping up.

For Hu Ma, he saw the headless kid, but the shopkeepers and waiters did not see it. They only saw one end of the hemp rope, stretched into the dark night ahead, stretched straight for a while, and then stretched for a while. It will loosen again and the bones will snap.

　　I feel unspeakably frightened in my heart.

Occasionally, I walked a step faster, and the Yin Qi around me felt cold, and I could vaguely see the headless kid.

I was so frightened that I wished I could close my eyes and let the hemp rope lead me away.

As they moved forward, I don't know if they disturbed something in the surrounding night, but suddenly there were all kinds of strange noises.

Or they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, as if someone was riding towards them, or they heard shouting and killing, as if there were robbers surrounding them, waving their knives, and sometimes they heard rude curses. It seemed like there were people around.

With his eyes closed, he felt like he had entered a robber's den, surrounded by vicious people. When he opened his eyes, he found only the empty night and the cold wind.

This feeling of hairy hair and confusion made even Hu Ma feel a little upset.

 Subconsciously, he reached into his arms and grabbed a short piece of incense. This is what our Red Lantern Lady gave us to save our lives. I brought the flax with me on this trip in case of emergency.

I don't know if the method Agu Zhang used can allow people like me to escape from the influence of Guizhaizi. If they really can't escape, please ask the Red Lantern Lady to come over and tell them the rules.

I just don't know if the Red Lantern Empress has enough dignity in front of this ghost village after leaving Mingzhou Mansion...

 But I guess the temple was built anyway, so it should be fine, right?

Such a boldness, touching the dark, closed eyes, one step deeper, even in the middle of the night, I didn't know how many weird things I couldn't say on the road.

There were sounds of knives and axes chopping, curses and shouts, and from time to time, someone even reached out to pull his leg.

But Aunt Zhang was taking care of her, and Hu Ma kept her eyes open, watching the movements around her and helping at any time. They walked like this for most of the night, and no one knew how long they had walked. The movements around her finally slowly became smaller and disappeared.

Everyone felt that the pull of the hemp rope on their wrists was weakening, and they stopped.

Aunt Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, we're coming out."

The handlebars and the guys opened their eyes and saw that they were in a wilderness, with a bright moon above their heads, illuminating the surroundings like daylight. The frightening sound and the ubiquitous sense of oppression disappeared. There was only a layer of cold sweat left on his body.

 Looking around, there is no one missing.

Looking back at the car, I was surprised to find that there were many marks of slashes and axes, as if someone had chased and beaten it.

 “Alas…”

 One of the waiters suddenly let out a low cry, with a cry in his voice.

Everyone looked around and saw that he had pulled up his sleeves. They suddenly saw a black handprint on his arm, as if someone had pulled it.

Others hurriedly reacted and looked around. There were quite a few of them.

The feeling of being pulled and pulled just now was more like a trancelike illusion, but the traces were left.

“It's okay, just soak some grapefruit leaves in water and take a bath.”

Aunt Zhang comforted her and said, "The ghosts in that village are so fierce. If they found us during patrol, they would definitely leave us behind."

“They have affected the surrounding feng shui, and even the people in our doorway cannot hide from them. Ordinary imps who enter their patrol range will not be able to escape, so they can only join them.”

"However, fortunately, the little angel I raised has no brain and is less affected by them. Instead, it can lead us out of that ghost place..."

 “Having no brain is actually a good thing?”

Hu Ma glanced at Xiao Hongtang's beautiful little head and shook her head helplessly. She couldn't explain the reason and could only write it down as an experience.

 “At least I'm here.”

He felt relieved, and he looked at the people around him and said, "Let's continue our journey and find a town to rest. Let's all take a bath, have a good meal, and have a peaceful sleep."

He then said to the handlebars and the two men: "Three of you are affected, and we will get a reward when you turn around."

 No words of comfort could be more powerful than this, and the panic on the handlebars and the faces of the two guys disappeared a lot.

Aunt Zhang also untied the hemp ropes tied to everyone's wrists, coiled them around, put them into her own baggage, then took the paper man's head from Xiao Hongtang's hand, and placed it on the headless On the kid's neck, let them play.

Hu Ma was watching from the side and said with a smile: "Agu is so capable. I didn't expect you, a little messenger, to be so powerful."

　　“It's not that it's powerful, it's that it has a unique use.”

Aunt Zhang glanced at Hu Ma and said, "As a ghost, you have to be good at borrowing the strength of enemies from all walks of life."

Hu Ma carefully wrote down Agu Zhang's words. After observing along the way, he had a vague and systematic understanding of the ghost walker.

To follow the path of a ghost, you must first learn the rules and learn various ways to cure evil spirits, drive away evil spirits, see evil spirits, or communicate with others.

This is like a doctor learning the prescription first.

 They know all kinds of evil spirits and can come up with solutions when encountering problems.

 Ordinary people will panic and fear, and lose their bearings when encountering trouble, but smart people can think of ways to deal with it.

 This is the case with ghost walkers. The word capable person is the most suitable to describe them.

While talking in low voices, everyone got on the road again and walked for about an hour. Finally, at dawn, they saw a town ahead.

 “It's been a hard journey these days, let's go to the city and rest for a day!”

Hu Ma also breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "Take some food and water, have a good sleep, and see you again the day after tomorrow."

This night can be considered a dangerous experience. Those who can escape are good. No matter what, they have to take a good breath.

Especially the handlebar type and the two guys, they were almost crying. They just took three times the salary and came out to help transport the coffin. I thought it was just unlucky at most, but who would have thought that it would be so difficult and ups and downs...

　　The next three updates are asking for votes!
