Twilight Boundary Chapter 33

Chapter 33 The old sheep kowtows

"is it here?"

Hu Ma stood there, looking around vigilantly and worriedly. He looked at the big locust tree and saw that the upper half of the tree had become scorched black. There were a large number of bells scattered on the ground, and the branches and leaves were drooping.

“Just now, was my mother-in-law fighting with it?”

 “This is the famous Sophora grandma in Laoyin Mountain.”

When the second master approached the old locust tree, he also slowed down slightly and whispered to Hu Ma: "In ten villages and eight villages, all the babies that die in the family are thrown into the pig pen and crushed to pieces. Bake them together and throw them into the ground to fertilize."

“But since Granny Huai appeared, they began to be sent to her for burial. Some families who wanted to have children came to pay homage to her, and they became pregnant.”

 “What the hell?”

Hu Ma thought of her mother-in-law fighting with the old locust tree in the mirror. The black **** on the branches looked like babies, and she felt weird and horrified in her heart. She raised her head tremblingly: "Why is it fighting with my mother-in-law? "

 “It's strange here too…”

The second master's voice was even more bizarre: "Grandma Huai is a well-known good deity in our villages. She specializes in sending children who have died to be reincarnated."

"There used to be families in our village who were in need of children, and the mother-in-law advised them to come and worship at Grandma Huai's place. As long as they are sincere enough, after offering the offerings, kowtow three times, and the bell rings, that means there are children who are willing to follow the young couple. …”

“The more the bell rings, the more people will follow.”

“They are all kind-hearted, so how could they start fighting?”

 “Sending a baby to reincarnation?”

As Hu Ma listened, something strange suddenly occurred to her, but she was so anxious that she had no time to think about it.

 “Haha, they are not fighting.”

At this moment, I heard a laugh and turned around to look, only to see that the old shopkeeper, the bearer and others had also arrived and stopped at a distance.

The old shopkeeper clasped his hands behind his back, glanced around at the messy place, and said with a sneer: "This old Sophora japonica has lost its spirit and is overflowing with evil spirits. There should be some kind of powerful thing that has taken hold of it. It became a puppet and fought with your mother-in-law."

"Then what?"

As soon as Hu Ma heard what he said, he thought of the white-faced mountain king who was driven into Zhuangzi to find him.

 It seems that the thing sent by the Meng family is very good at this skill.

He was suddenly worried about his mother-in-law's condition, and in his anxious eyes, he saw the old shopkeeper. He looked to the left and touched to the right, as if he had discovered something. He sighed softly and said:

"Your mother-in-law has a good heart. She knows that the old locust tree is actually innocent, and these little people living in the tree are also innocent."

“So she attracted the thunder, but she only chopped down half of the old locust tree, leaving it with a life.”

Hearing this, Hu Ma and the second master next to him both trembled slightly, vaguely understanding that this was indeed the way their mother-in-law behaved.

"but…"

But before they could feel relieved, they heard the old shopkeeper say again: "Haha, the worst thing to avoid is a soft-hearted person when you are fighting with ghosts."

　　"If she spared this old Huai's life, she would definitely suffer a big loss."

"ah?"

Hu Ma was very surprised and immediately asked: "Then... where is my mother-in-law now?"

 The old shopkeeper frowned and looked around, as if he was thinking quickly in his mind.

But at this moment, Xiao Hongtang, who had followed Hu Ma, suddenly raised his head.

 His nose lifted, and he immediately called out in surprise: "Mother-in-law."

Before the voice fell, a red shadow flashed and ran quickly towards a direction in the woods next to it.

The others didn't know why, but Hu Ma caught a glimpse and immediately followed Xiao Hongtang quickly. The second master also nervously took the machete on his back and followed quickly.

The old shopkeeper next to him saw it at a glance and knew that they had got the news from the ghost. He was not busy deliberating. The bearer who had something to do wanted to follow him and have a look, but he also stopped him:

 “Stop joining in the fun, there's still something unsolved inside!”

Hu Ma quickly followed Xiao Hongtang, passing through a path submerged in grass, and vaguely saw a cliff in front of him. Behind the sparse trees, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a cave under the cliff, and between the caves, there was something faint. Smoke drifted out from the cave.

 “Where is your mother-in-law?”

He was slightly happy in his heart and quickened his pace, but unexpectedly, he suddenly saw that the little Hongtang in front of him was suddenly knocked down by something dark. The red shadow and the black shadow were twisted into a ball, and they made a sound like The sound of tearing and gnawing like an animal.

 Looking closely, he turned out to be a little man about the same size as Xiao Hongtang, covered in paint and exuding a cold and twisted aura.

Hu Ma was startled and rushed to help, but suddenly she heard a strange laughter. He hurriedly stopped and turned his head to look, and his body suddenly felt numb.

I could see four or five of these monsters squatting on the trees and underground on the left, tilting their heads slightly and looking at me with pale eyes.

But it was not them who laughed, but a goat that turned out from behind a tree. Its pair of horizontal pupils made people unconsciously scared. The laughter that I just heard was actually from it. The cry was just like a sneer that penetrated people.

 Erect sheep!

 This is one of the monsters I have seen before. It is obviously the most normal, but it is also the most terrifying.

 “It is controlling the spirit in the locust tree.”

Just as I was slightly frightened, Erye's voice sounded behind me: "These dolls are not evil spirits at first, but they have been turned into evil spirits by others."

 “There is no hope of reincarnation anymore…”

The second master stepped lightly and walked to Hu Ma little by little. He gave him the machete in his hand and said in a low voice: "You can't handle this business, little Hu Ma. Let me do it, second master." , you go and see how your mother-in-law is doing now..."

Hearing the second master's voice, Hu Ma felt a sense of security increased.

Him vaguely felt that the second master must be able to restrain this ghost goat, so he nodded, took the machete, and suddenly rushed forward.

·When those ferocious and twisted infant spirits saw the flax moving, they jumped up from the ground and pounced on him.

Huma heard the sound of a baby crying in her ears, and felt inexplicably irritable and dizzy.

But as soon as he moved, the fire in his belly started to burn, but his movements were swift, and he just rushed forward. The second master behind him rushed forward with one step, and with a low roar, he drove away these infant spirits.

His sixty years of childlike skills, even this roar seems to have some masculine and evil-fighting energy.

However, it only pushed back the infant spirits. Their small bodies were actually ferocious and terrifying, and they rushed forward again.

The second master knew that these infant spirits who had been adopted by Granny Huai and wanted to give them another chance to be reincarnated had now lost their way out and were infected by evil spirits. They no longer recognized their relatives. They were so fierce and terrifying that they did not dare to be careless. He moved, blocked and beat them with all their strength. Come out and lay it in front of you.

The infant spirits were unable to retreat in time, and their sharp fangs bit into the second master's arm, like a string of rats.

The second master's arm was bitten with blood, and his face, which looked like a rock sculpture, flashed with pain. However, in comparison, those infant spirits were in even more pain.

They would not let go, but after being stained with Second Master's blood, white smoke suddenly appeared from their bodies, as if they had been poured sulfuric acid and they were in agony. Then Second Master waved his arm, and flew them away with the blood attached. go out.

 While they were still in the air, several of them had already dissipated.

But at the same time, a ghostly laughter sounded. The goat looked at it coldly and suddenly bent its front knees slightly.

It actually lowered its head and leaned forward, as if it was about to kowtow.

 “The old sheep kowtows…”

The second master didn't pay much attention to these infant spirits, and focused all his attention on the sheep.

 When I saw it kowtow, I was shocked.

Sheep, pigs and livestock are raised in the stockade. The livestock in the stockade are often slaughtered after being raised for a short period of time, but there are always some special ones, either due to what they have eaten or just because they have lived too long. It will become somewhat evil.

Just like this old goat that has grown old, it will learn to stand up like a human being and kowtow as time goes by.

But kowtowing is not a good thing. Kowling down one's head can knock out a person's soul.

In a village adjacent to Dayangzhai, there was an incident where a sheepherder went out to herd sheep and was knocked unconscious by an old goat. He stumbled off a cliff and fell to his death.

Facing this evil man, the second master did not dare to be careless. When he saw that the other party had already kowtowed to him, the second master also stepped forward fiercely. He also knelt on his knees and kowtowed to him.

 The two heads collided, making a "bang" sound.

　　After this collision, both heads were a little dizzy, and the way the sheep looked at the second master changed.

The second master knelt down too quickly, so he kowtowed instead of kowtowing to the sheep.

You can turn it into a mutton pot, let it lie there and milk the goat, or even hug it in a warm bed at night, but you must not insult it by banging its head.

 In the world of sheep, this is the biggest provocation, bar none.

Then the sheep suddenly became fierce, its hooves jumped high, and its heads hit each other again.

 Er Ye also braced himself and then collided with it.

 The two of them were fighting back and forth, and they were evenly matched.

And taking advantage of this moment, Hu Ma had already rushed forward and grabbed the little red flower on the ground.

With a flick of his hand, he shook off the infant spirit that was fighting with her. While the other party was still in the air, he opened his mouth to yell.

 “Poof!”

The fire surged up in the furnace, and an arrow of Yang Qi spurted out, directly penetrating the infant spirit and dissipating it invisible.

Huma, on the other hand, was holding a small red tang in one hand and a machete in the other, and strode toward the entrance of the cave.
