Twilight Boundary Chapter 250

 Chapter 250: A wandering ghost rises from the altar (third update, please vote)

“To set up an altar, you must first choose the altar site, prepare the altar objects, and then set the rules.”

Even the hired carriages and horses knew that being targeted by the Beggar Gang was bound to cause trouble. They wanted to leave even if they didn't want the money. Naturally, Hu Ma and others knew that they couldn't escape this situation, so they simply stopped. Come down and get ready for a hard fight with each other.

Agu Zhang saw that there was no room for return, so she patiently pointed out the principle of setting up the altar with flax.

“For the place to set up the altar, a place with high terrain is good, a spacious place is good, a clean place is good, and a place with good feng shui is good.”

She had already looked around, then drove the donkey cart to a slope, pointed to a place and said: "We are erecting the main altar. Of course, the place must be good, but there are also some evil altars, which may be Do it the other way around.”

“However, sometimes you have enough preparations to set up the altar and you can carefully pick the altar, but there are also times like this where you don't have a choice, so you can only pick as good a place as possible..."

"This hillside is enough. It is close to the mountain and overlooks the road, gathering energy and hiding the wind. Only the woods below can hide people on the left and right. We are still condescending, so it is suitable for setting up the altar."

"yes!"

Hu Ma then stood down at the place chosen by Agu Zhang and looked forward.

Beside him, the driver and his assistant hurriedly drove the donkey cart to the roadside behind him, leaning against the mountain wall to keep watch.

Aunt Zhang untied her baggage again and spread it in front of the flax. Then she picked out the things in the baggage and picked out the useful ones, such as scented wax candles, paper money and oil lamps, as well as those filled with water. Bowls, yellow flags and other things.

 At the same time, he explained: “If you want to erect an altar, you need something to support it.”

"Suppressing objects does not mean suppressing evil spirits, but refers to suppressing the altar. Once the altar is suppressed, you can cast spells better."

"My mother has taught me that these kinds of town objects have been enshrined in front of the incense table in the main temple. Those that are stained with the scent of incense are of the highest quality. Those that are circulated in the hands of the common people and used by others are considered to be genuine. They are evil. Dirty things are inferior.”

"There are certain things to be careful about when it comes to evil and filthy things. They can be stained with evil spirits and have evil spirits, but they must not be filthy. Otherwise, using these things to build an altar will be harmful."

“So, the treasure I found before was not of high quality, but of low quality?”

Hu Ma had a vague idea. The Zhensui Book mentioned the Zhenwu, but he didn't really care about the Zhenwu. Most of what he collected later was based on guesswork. Now it seems that some of the things he collected are useful. , but it cannot be considered top grade.

But one thing to say, look at what Agu Zhang put out. Most of them are bone fragments and copper coins, which are not considered high quality.

 “When you are ready, you will enter the altar.”

Aunt Zhang laid out things in front of Hu Ma, and the last thing she put out was an oil lamp with a little oil in it and no cover.

It seems that if an altar is set up in a field and a dark wind blows over, it may be blown out.

But Hu Ma had seen a kid blowing out a lamp before but couldn't blow out the oil lamp in front of Aunt Zhang. He knew that this oil lamp was not as simple as he thought.

　　　"The ghost man enters the altar with his wealth and life, and when he joins the altar, this altar is also related to his wealth and life."

When Aunt Zhang mentioned this, she was particularly solemn and said seriously: "Brother, the shopkeeper, you must be careful. Once you set up the altar, the lamp is your soul, the altar is your body, the curse is your words, and the Dharma is your body." It's your life…”

 “…This is something that no one can play with!”

Logically speaking, all the techniques in the Zhensui book have been used, and if you try to learn how to walk away from ghosts now, there is not much risk.

But Hu Ma felt Agu Zhang's worry, so she agreed honestly, cheered up, and listened carefully.

Aunt Zhang was also honest. She taught her in detail the rules and details of setting up the flax altar, what to pay attention to, what to look at, how to invite spirits, how to protect oneself, and so on.

Behind them, the donkey cart had stopped, and the handlebars and the guys were hiding behind the cart, munching on the big cake and secretly watching the two of them setting up there.

But seeing them stop, the beggars who were following them also noticed something. They all hid far away and did not dare to get close. They kept going back and forth. Before long, it was already dark. When they looked up, they saw nothing but the sky. The sky is full of stars and the sky is vast.

Hu Ma looked down and saw the stars in the sky reflected in the bowl of water in front of her, just like the stars entering her own altar.

He wrote down the rules that Aunt Zhang told him one by one, and compared them with the methods in the Zhensui book. He became more and more certain that many things in the Zhensui book were consistent with the ghost-walking man's altar.

It's just that the Zhensui Book is indeed too clever and overbearing. A quick glance reveals that there are many differences from the rules of the ghost walkers, and even some details are contrary to them.

 In a nutshell, the New Year's Book is direct and overbearing, and doesn't talk much about foreplay...

Of course, now I have come here specifically to learn the skills of running ghosts, and although I have learned a lot from them, I am not yet able to integrate the two rules, and I don't know what the differences in details mean. So I dare not modify it without authorization.

Since he set up the altar according to the rules of the demons, he will honestly follow the rules of the demons.

Having been prepared in this way, he just waited patiently. Before his opponent arrived, he was not in a hurry to light the oil lamp in front of him.

Taking advantage of this time, Hu Ma and Agu Zhang also ate something first.

Hu Ma also secretly took one of the blood food pills she prepared and asked Aunt Zhang to eat it to replenish her strength.

During this time, Aunt Zhang followed Hu Ma out and ate a lot of green food and dried meat. Although she was surprised, she didn't act like she had never seen the world. However, after seeing this blood food pill, she couldn't help but feel a little bit... Surprised.

Knowing that the people in the Blood Food Gang are rich, Leng Buding was surprised to see such a generous person. Hu Ma advised him in a low voice: "Eat quickly, don't let the housekeeper see you."

Having seen it, I want to share another one...

“Hmm…” Agu Zhang has a steady temperament, but she is actually a young girl who also wants to taste the blood food pills.

 Just after eating it, I felt a little regretful: "I heard that blood food pills are valuable..."

“We have eaten this blood pill from the shopkeeper, so we can't have the thirty taels of silver we agreed on before, right?”

While everyone was getting ready, the night was getting darker, everything was quiet, and the birds in the forest were all hibernating and roosting.

But it was not cold. In the dark forest ahead, there were suddenly a few bangs, clear and piercing. Suddenly, the birds in the forest were frightened and flew away, making a rustling sound.

Hu Ma and Aunt Zhang were both startled and looked towards the forest ahead. It was too dark to see anything, but there was a vague aura of danger that quietly came in the night.

 “The enemy has arrived.”

Aunt Zhang whispered: "Get up the altar!"

"yes!"

Hu Ma immediately agreed, bit her middle finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dropped it into the oil lamp.

　　Immediately afterwards, he took out the fire stick and lit the oil lamp.

 Just such a simple action, looking at the flame of the oil lamp, it jumped lightly, and then lit up little by little.

Humah actually had an extremely weird feeling, as if for a moment, he melted into the oil lamp and turned into a small cluster of flames.

At the same time, the Dao Xing in his body was also vaguely aroused, and he actually had a feeling that he was one with the oil lamp, as if the flame of the oil lamp had become his own Dao Xing, and he could drive it like the Dao Xing.

Even the flame of the oil lamp is slowly growing along with his own path.

However, I am a reincarnated person after all, and I can plug in or pull out the life incense in the incense burner at will.

 Hence, this cluster of flames grew to about the length of a stick of incense and then stopped.

Even so, the flame looked no small, just vaguely green, not as pure as Aunt Zhang's light.

 “The altar is set up…”

Aunt Zhang also sighed lowly, frowned and glanced at the oil lamp, and said: "It's just that the shopkeeper has death energy in his body. This lamp is not pure. It can be regarded as a ghost lamp. It can easily attract evil spirits. You should usually persuade him." Hurry up and put it away..."

 “Sure enough…”

Hu Ma was also slightly startled and figured out the reason.

 I am a watcher of the year. People who watch the year of the year refine life into death, and there is already death energy in their bodies.

What's more, if you don't practice, you will die. It's strange that this lamp is normal.

 This is probably the reason why many doorways cannot be connected. If you walk on one road for a long time, there will be obstacles on the other road.

but…

 …Why didn't I feel this way when I set up the altar according to the method in the Zhensui book?

Thinking about it carefully, the method in the Zhensui book is indeed different from that of the ghost walker in this aspect. The ghost walker raises the altar, and all his wealth and life are put into the altar.

　　The altar is oneself, and oneself is the altar. Once the spell fails, there will be immediate backlash.

But the altar recorded in the Zhensui Book was different. He did not enter the altar. He could even watch the incense. When he saw that the incense was not good, he immediately abandoned the altar and ran away...

 “Concentrate on what is at hand first.”

 He withdrew his thoughts and concentrated on the altar in front of him. The half of red incense had been inserted beside it.

 Don't be too busy lighting it. Once you find out the other party's background, you can invite the Red Lantern Lady to come over.

 “Du, duke…”

 At this time, the sound of banging in the forest started again.

 The sound was especially clear in this silent night, and it gave people a creepy feeling.

Suddenly, with the sound of banging, several birds that were startled and circling in the forest fluttered to the ground, and the rest flew further away in panic.

Hu Ma was also startled. She looked forward fiercely. She couldn't see clearly, but she could clearly feel that something in the night was quietly approaching. Wherever she passed, the air of death filled the air, and the sound of insects could not be heard. , all the birds flying in the sky will fall down and die.

 “Don't panic.”

Aunt Zhang also noticed it and reminded him in a low voice: "What is invisible to the naked eye can be seen by sitting on the altar."

"The altar is together, three feet in front of the altar, three feet behind the altar, three feet to the left and right of the altar. They are all your places. You can see anything that comes in!"

“Everything on the altar, whether it is a small stone or a piece of grass or a tree, you can pick it up and do whatever you want...”
