Twilight Boundary Chapter 419

Chapter 419: The Leader of Yiqian Cult

Hu Ma and Lao Pan speeded up their pace, but it was not until almost dusk that they saw a large town hidden among the mountains and forests from a distance. It was extremely lively with pavilions and buildings, and mules and horses rushing around.

When they arrived next to the town, they saw a stone carved horse standing on a stone plate, which was lifelike. The horse was surrounded by a circle of gravel. On both sides, there were traces of someone burning incense, and it seemed that someone was burning it. Worship this stone horse as a god.

 “This is Shima Town.”

 Lao Abacus had been walking for a long time and was already wilting. When he arrived in front of the town, he cheered up and said to Hu Ma: "This was originally a big city, and it has quite a history!"

"It is said that there was a plague here before, and the people around suffered heavy casualties. A general from the previous dynasty resigned and returned to his hometown. He saw that there was a plague ghost causing trouble in the countryside, so he rode a horse and sword, came over to eliminate the ghost and killed the plague ghost. But this old man The general is also dead."

“The people were grateful for the old general's merits and buried him near the village. His horse was nostalgic for the Lord and lingered beside the tomb. It turned into a stone horse.”

“Now that time has passed, even the old general's tomb can't be found, but this stone horse has remained.”

Hearing this, Hu Ma found it interesting, but it was hard to tell whether it was true or false. Such rumors existed everywhere. Even though there were many strange powers in the world, there were only a lot more rumors.

He just listened, looked up at the town, and sighed softly: "Although this town is in the mountains, it is quite lively."

 Lao Abacus only told him once and didn't ask any more questions.

The old abacus took a look and whispered: "It used to be an ancient city, but now it has become a den of bandits. The Qian Cult made such a fuss that all the officials in the surrounding cities were driven away, and the granaries were also destroyed. Sold out.”

 It just happened to take this opportunity to understand.

“Let's go, my old man is already empty. Then Mr. Sun, should the table be set by now?”

Old Abacus urged, as he and Hu Ma entered the town, he said: "The place is big, and there are many experts. In addition, there is no one to look after here, and the three religions and nine streams are mixed together."

Usually I don't care about this or that, I just want to collect some taxes, but if no one insists on paying, I usually don't make much noise. Just like this, I have to drive this government away. It's like I don't care about anything else. Well, it seems like you have to take up this rebel status first.

 Sighed deeply: "Although this place is lawless, it is really a good place to go, even better than the city."

 “Good guy, are you really bent on rebellion?”

"But they are also afraid that the government will send people here, so they spend less time outside. They usually spend time in the mountains, building Buddhist altars, building wild temples, and attracting believers. When the place becomes lively, it attracts merchants and merchants from all walks of life. The people around here also come here to do business.”

 When they arrived at the Sifang Inn that Mr. Sun had agreed upon, they were shocked to see the lights at the door, the seductive woman, the cuckold Mr. Turtle, and the old abacus.

The two of them walked along the street and saw that the surroundings were lively and busy. It was clear that night was approaching, but they had no intention of closing the stalls. Instead, they turned on the lights to do business. It looked like it was even more popular than the city outside. Some.

Hu Madu couldn't help but think to himself that in this world, the government is already low-key enough.

“There are no taxes here, and there are no royal laws. When you come and go, it's much more lively than outside!”

He got off the donkey and led him into the town. In the outside town, anyone who entered would be subject to interrogation, but here they were not.

Of course, courtesy is the best, and Hu Ma did not inquire about some of his affairs.

"hey-hey…"

Even though he was good at this, he had already discovered that Hu Ma had many secrets, and the ability to keep the year old when he entered the house was not at all what a young shopkeeper of the Red Lantern Society should have. However, he was curious, but not Will make random inquiries and inquiries.

 He can understand the Red Lantern Lady Society's way of survival, but he doesn't quite understand the methods of this money sect.

“Not only the people from Yiqian Cult, but also some fierce gangsters outside who have no place to live or people who do shady business, also like to come here. Although you are very capable, you must be careful.”

Hu Ma said: "I know."

Hu Ma glanced at him and said, "How can we see him?"

 Old Abacus took a deep breath and said, "The skirts of the little ladies here are shorter than those in the city, and their legs are whiter than those in the city."

“…This rouge is very good, and it smells better than the ones in the city!”

 “You can see the big from the small, it's a good reference!”

Hu Ma praised him and led his horse to the front of the building. He smiled at Mr. Gui, who was soliciting business at the door, and asked, "Big teapot, Mr. Sun from Liu County is hosting a banquet here?"

The Turtle Man hurriedly came up to him. He first shouted and scolded the people to take the animal from Hu Ma and the others' hands, took it to the back and fed it well. Then he nodded and bowed, and led him and Lao Abacus inside.

Along the way, I saw that the place was very spacious, and the rows of large houses were all brightly lit. From a distance, I saw people eating and drinking inside. Most of them looked like merchants, but there were also quite a few who looked fierce and showed their wealth. The true nature of the guest.

"Brother Hu, you are finally here. We are good friends at this table. We are just waiting for you to come and start the dinner." Halfway through, Mr. Sun came out to greet you and said with a smile: "I heard your footsteps from a distance, so I came out to meet you. you."

 Speaking, he greeted Hu Ma and Lao Abacus, then lowered his voice and said to Hu Ma: "I have already handed over the words, and I also got senior sister's nod, so I asked you to come over."

“Tonight, I can introduce you to you, but you can't be underestimated at this table!”

“Can you hear my footsteps from a distance?”

Hu Ma agreed with a smile first and followed Mr. Sun inside, sighing in her heart.

Last time I was drinking in the mine, I heard Mr. Sun say that this is one of his unique skills, called "earth listening". It was specially refined after refining the seven orifices.

Nowadays, in this bustling and lively place with countless people walking around, accurately hearing the sound of one's own footsteps is just a small test. The real skill lies in listening to the sounds coming from the military camp.

It is said that one can hear movements dozens of miles away by lying down on the ground, and can judge the general figures, how many are riding horses, how many are walking, and how much luggage they are carrying. Of course, Hu Ma only heard what Mr. Sun said and has not had the chance to see it in person. Take a look.

"so…"

Hearing what Mr. Sun said, Hu Ma had already made some guesses after Mr. Sun's messenger handed over the letter. Hearing the words, he nodded and whispered: "The person you are talking about does not eat cows. Senior sister, are you also related to Yiqianjiao?"

 “Guessed it?”

Mr. Sun smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. The senior sister I'm talking about is actually the leader of our Yiqian sect, the Supremely Good and True Mysterious Fairy."

 “Otherwise you would think that my old man would be able to join the Yiqian Church without any problems?”

“To put it bluntly, it's not them we believe in, but the masters who don't eat cows. That senior brother pointed it out to me back then, and now I know that the one behind the Yiqian Cult is that he doesn't eat cows. Why can't I help?”

“…Of course, the Yiqian Sect is quite powerful and well-known, and the few worshippers in the sect may not be as good as your Red Lantern Lady, but they are all responsive to requests.”

 “Good guy…”

Although he had already guessed it, Hu Ma felt quite surprised when he heard it. A man who didn't eat cows actually came over and became the leader of Yiqian Sect?

Or is it that people who don't eat cows have secretly saved this money?

 Similar to a branch?

If you put it this way, then it is more likely that the leader of this money sect is also a reincarnation...

I was thinking about it silently in my heart, but on my face, I followed Mr. Sun inside and said with a low smile: "Because of the matter in the mine earlier, I had an unhappy relationship with the Dharma King of Yiqian Sect..."

  “It doesn't matter.”

Mr. Sun said: "I opened the matter up. I gave her a few kilograms of blood food to replenish her body, and I just said it was from you. How can she hold a grudge?"

"Now, she is just afraid that this matter will spread, ruining her and the reputation of the Lotus Mother. As long as we don't mention this, how can she go around talking nonsense? It's really made known to everyone, in the hall The guest will not spare her mouth!"

Hu Ma was moved by what he said: "Brother, he is so thorough in his work..."

However, I was thinking silently in my heart, what did the old man mean when he told me not to be underestimated at this banquet?

Is it possible that there are still tests on this table?

As he was talking, Mr. Sun had already led him to a three-story building, which faced a street. It looked very lively. Mr. Sun led the way. Going up, he saw that the three floors were all full. Got people.

The people sitting on the lower floor seemed to be some servants, and the people sitting on the second floor were the leaders of various circles. Old Abacus waved his hand and sat here, leaving Hu Ma to follow them upstairs.

When I got upstairs, I saw people sitting at a table by the window facing the street. People who were far away stood up, smiled and clasped their hands.

“Come, come, let me introduce you to me. This is Brother Hu that I am talking about.”

Mr. Sun brought Hu Ma over and said to everyone with a smile: "The manager of the Red Lantern Society has been in charge of a blood food mine at a young age. What I value most is that he is an expert in our Shou Sui sect. His ability is no weaker than mine."

Then he introduced to Hu Ma: "This is the old altar owner of Dashanbao, that is the big shopkeeper of the mule and horse shop, this is the second gang leader of the Bamboo Gang, and this is Grandma Wu's uncle. The famous matchmaker is marrying Wu." My grandma's goddaughter is my wife…”

“…Oh, this one is the most powerful. All the coffins in Shima Town are his business!”

Hearing this, Hu Ma felt that all kinds of religions were present, including some that sounded outrageous, especially who was Grandma Wu's uncle?

It seems that the vitality is not broken, but why is the complexion sallow and thin?
