Twilight Boundary Chapter 272

Chapter 272: The trick of cheating

 “It's okay, little girl…”

Hearing Xiang Yatou suddenly step forward and say these words, both Hu Ma and Lady Han were surprised.

Huma had been discussing with Shao Daozi for a long time before, just to find a logic that was feasible in reality, relying on the rules of this world, so that Miss Red Wine would have a reasonable reason to help him.

The reason why Miss Red Wine did not come forward to discuss this matter with her personally was, according to Shaodaozi, because she could not bear her temper. In the same way, she did not like to act it out again after discussing it once.

 Simply put, she doesn't like rehearsals.

 So, Shaodaozi discussed the plan with himself, and then he came to the door as a Jianghu person and begged her to help him openly.

Of course, it was precisely because of this that when she told her the reasons and opportunities she had prepared in advance, Madam Han suddenly acted out of common sense and made such an additional request, which caught her off guard. .

 Do you agree to her condition, or not?

But I didn't expect that Xiang Yatou really knows how to care for others. She was worried that she would be taken advantage of in order to save others, so she took the initiative to stand up. However, her announcement of her family had an unexpected miraculous effect, and the nature of the matter immediately changed. It has to be different from before.

Even Miss Red Wine, or Madam Han, changed her attitude slightly, nodded and said:

"It turns out that she is a young lady from the Li family of Dongzi. Your family rarely interacts with people in Anzhou, but since we are all in Anzhou, we can be considered neighbors. When you come to my door, I have to call you sister. "

“But since you are a member of the Li family, how could you end up in this situation? This place is not far from Lingshou Mansion. Who would be so blind as to dare to provoke a member of the Li family in Anzhou?”

"I…"

Girl Xiang felt a little aggrieved, paused, and whispered: "I was harmed by an adulterer and almost couldn't return home."

 “It's all because of your righteousness that you sent me back.”

“But now when I get to the door of my house, those people still refuse to give up and try to stop me from going home.”

She seemed to be in a bit of trouble. Even though she knew that the housekeeper had lied to her, she was unwilling to say bad things about the housekeeper, but in this context, she had to say it.

However, after saying a few words, his emotions were touched. His eyes were slightly red, and he said to Madam Han: "Senior, they bullied my father to guard the ghost cave and cannot come out casually. They stopped me and refused to let me go home. I want to invite senior Help."

The first few sentences are still based on the scene in the rivers and lakes, and the last few sentences are still like a little girl.

 But after all, she had revealed her identity, and Madam Han treated her differently from before.

He gave in lightly and said: "Needless to say, I have asked the Dongzi Li family for something before. Even if it has not happened, if Miss Li family is in trouble, for the sake of my colleagues in the world, I have to help. You two Don't stand here anymore, come into the room and talk!”

Hu Ma and Xiang Yatou followed her into the main room in the village and saw that the decoration here was simple and plain.

Looking at it, it looks like an ordinary farmhouse, with just lamps, tables, chairs, and beds, but they are all a bit exquisite and weird.

They sat down at the table. Not long after, there was a gloomy wind blowing outside the door.

When he looked up, he saw a man with various swords, guns, swords and halberds stuck on his body, and an arrow nailed on his forehead. He looked extremely miserable, but he was also wearing armor, and he looked like a general on the battlefield.

His face was pale, his eyes were hollow, and he was covered in blood, but he was holding a tray in his hand with two porcelain cups. As soon as he put it on the table, it floated away again.

Lady Han looked at the strange-looking girls Hu Ma and Xiang, and said calmly: "There are so many strange things here that ordinary people can't stand them. It's hard to hire someone to cook and boil water, so I can only ask the ghost helpers to help." It's time to do something, so you just have to make do with it.”

 “Can ghosts still do housework?”

Hu Ma couldn't help but think: "Xiao Hongtang has one more skill to be developed."

Madam Han did not drink tea, but just said: "Now tell me what trouble you encountered."

 “Yes, it's something in the cave...”

Xiang girl put down her tea cup and said: "I have seen them before, but have never been in contact with them. If they come, I don't know how to prevent them. Besides, if I want to go home..."

 “It's not clear enough.”

Ms. Han frowned and looked at Hu Ma aside.

"It's a kind of ghost wearing a high hat and with iron chains on its body. It doesn't look like a wandering spirit, but it doesn't look like an ordinary evil spirit either."

Hu Ma then told the story in detail, saying: "Wherever it passed, the oil lamp changed color, it was freezing cold, and the living people were silent."

 “Working with ghosts?”

Ms. Han's face changed: "How many days is it?"

Hu Ma had already been asked this question and said hurriedly: "Counting it, it's the seventh day."

 “Good guy…”

Madam Han suddenly stood up and said: "I don't know if you two are lucky or miserable. If you are lucky, you were targeted by this thing. If you are lucky, you found it on the seventh day." I."

"but…"

With that said, he glanced at Xiang Yatou and said with a smile: "Since you are a young lady from the Li family of Dongzi, they invited this thing to come to you. Are they crazy?"

Xiang Yatou's expression was also a little depressed, and it was difficult to speak. After a while, she said in a low voice: "I haven't officially entered the ghost cave, and those things still don't recognize me..."

Hu Ma was a little surprised and hurriedly asked: "Senior, what exactly is this kind of thing?"

 “Something that does not belong to the world of living people.”

Madam Han glanced at Hu Ma and said, "They are not licentious, nor evil, nor are they enemies who were incestuous in the hall. I have seen them once or twice because I am working in Anzhou, and it seems that they have been refined." There are traces of making, but I can't quite figure it out.”

"I only know that if someone is targeted by this thing, they will definitely die within seven days. There are no exceptions."

  “…”    Huma suddenly became worried: “Then…”

Ms. Han waved her hand and said, "How else can I say that you are lucky?"

“The young lady of Dongzi's Li family is in trouble. She should seek help from fellow Jianghu people, but luckily you have found me. If you had found someone else, even if you wanted to help, I'm afraid you would be powerless.”

"Only I can protect you on this seventh heaven and prevent that ghost from finding you."

"ah?"

 Humah and Xiang girl's faces suddenly showed joy.

But one of them knew it a long time ago and performed it, while the other one actually looked relieved.

"You guys came to visit me like I was facing a formidable enemy, which made me nervous. Now listen, it's not a big deal."

Mrs. Han waved her hand and said, "I will protect you tonight and send a message to the Li family early tomorrow morning."

"this…"

Hu Ma immediately showed embarrassment and said: "Senior, I have sent a letter to the Li family before."

　　“And then no one came to pick me up, but it became a problem?”

Mrs. Han glanced at Hu Ma with a half-smile but said, "You are a kind-hearted little brother, but after all, you still have little experience in the world of martial arts."

“A young lady from a wealthy family like this will either not know how to lose it, or if she does, it will definitely not be that simple.”

"But don't worry, there is a difference between you sending a message and me sending a message. You send the message to the concierge first, but I send the message. They don't dare to hide it, and they will definitely deliver it to that ghost cave. .”

“I always feel that this slight complacency is a bit familiar...”

Hu Ma was thinking in her heart, but her face was very relaxed, thinking that this matter had gone well.

 “Well, thanks to senior...”

The girl Xiang was also busy talking, but hesitantly said: "But, but those who don't want me to go home..."

Seeing that she was confused, Hu Ma said for her: "The people who stopped us have set many traps along the way. Now that we are only one step away from home, the other party is probably even more unwilling to let it go."

 “I don't have this confidence, and I dare not agree to help you.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Han nodded slightly and said, "You two, come with me!"

The two of them got busy and followed her to a nearby house. They saw that it was a thatched house with wooden walls and a mud roof. There was some draft and it was not strong at all.

There are some strange things inside, such as shadow box pockets, metal gloves, chain hoops, etc.

Look, quite a few of them are only used by people when doing tricks.

“Tonight, little girl, you will stay in this room.”

As Madam Han spoke, she took out a talisman, scrawled a random name on it, and pasted it on Xiang's forehead along with the birth date characters she made up while pinching her fingers.

A pair of shoes were placed next to a small bed in the room, but they were placed carefully, with one facing in and the other facing out.

 Finally, I came to a wooden cabinet by the wall and wrote and drew for a long time.

Then he told Xiang girl: "At night, sit on the bed with this eight-character sticker on your head, place a bowl of water in front of you, and put a pair of chopsticks on the bowl. The chopsticks point to the southwest. If anything happens, the direction of the chopsticks will change." If it changes, you put it back again.”

"When it's late, if the water turns to ice and freezes the chopsticks, put a quilt over the bowl, put your shoes straight, and hide in the cupboard."

“After entering the cabinet, remember to close your eyes tightly. No matter what noise you hear or what happens around you, do not open it or make a sound.”

“As soon as you open your eyes, the law will be broken, and that thing will find you, but as long as you don't open your eyes, I can keep you safe.”

Hearing what she said, Hu Ma and Xiang Yatou felt as if they were facing an enemy. They wrote it down carefully, but at the end they felt a little strange: "Is this the end?"

"certainly."

Ms. Han said: "If there is any trouble, of course I will handle it myself."

"Oh, I'll teach you two little ones to know that the chain of ghosts can restrain people, and no matter how great the Taoism is, they can't escape. But only we, the people in the sect, can solve it. The sect is divided into 'deception', 'skill' and 'fraud'. 'Three factions."

“Among them, those who are good at deception skills learn to deceive the heaven and the earth and deceive the ghosts and gods. With advanced skills, they can deceive the heaven and the earth, let alone this one.”

Hu Ma and Xiang Yatou also looked a bit knowledgeable. Hu Ma asked curiously: "Is that senior a trick of cheating?"

 “No, I am Qiaozijue.”

Ms. Han glanced at him lightly and said, "But I am good at all three schools."
