Twilight Boundary Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Walking at Night with a Knife

 “How did this happen?”

 The sudden dark wind and the noisy and floating sounds frightened everyone present.

All the torches were extinguished, and the surrounding area suddenly became invisible. Only the cold wind blew gently against his bones.

In my ears, I couldn't hear any breathing of the workers around me... But I was suddenly surprised. Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to move... Everyone stood stiffly in the darkness, until suddenly floating around them A sinister laugh.

 “Mother…”

With this laughter ringing in his ears, some people suddenly lost control, dropped the knife in their hands, turned around and ran away.

As this person collapsed, the others could no longer hold on, rolling around in the darkness, crying and fleeing out of the village.

 “Don't…don't run…”

Xu Ji also froze on the spot and shouted anxiously.

　　But when I called out, I realized that I was so nervous that my voice had changed and my throat was blocked.

He couldn't suppress the panic in his heart and wanted to escape, but he clenched the wooden sword in his hand and held it straight.

This time when he returned to the city, he also saw the situation at home.

Dad was suddenly raped. Not to mention his previous oil and water, most of his family property was confiscated by the incense owner. All his previous relatives and friends were missing, and there might be even bigger troubles in the future.

His father also secretly gave him the few good things left in the house and asked him to sneak out of the back door, just to bring it back to the shopkeeper so that he could learn how to become a year-keeper and in turn protect the family.

So I must win, how can I lose to that mud-legged guy?

 But even if you stay, what should you do if your previous plans are completely disrupted?

I was in a state of confusion and could not see anything, but my ears suddenly heard a strange sound, like the sound of scales on the belly of a snake crawling across dry grass.

In the swirling wind around him and the noisy sounds of the guys fleeing far away, it seemed extremely clear, as if a snake was slowly swimming around him. However, the weather was getting cold now, where did the snake come from?

Even if there is one, how big of a snake must it be to make such a clear crawling sound?

His mind was extremely confused, and he didn't react until his ankle suddenly sank, as if it was entangled in something plush.

 It's not a snake, it's hair!

It was the hair from the well that came out again and got wrapped around my ankles.

 “Ah yes…”

Xu Ji was frightened and let out an inarticulate cry in his throat. He grabbed the mahogany sword in his hand and slashed downwards.

 There was a "chi" sound, and the fire flickered slightly.

When the hair touched the mahogany sword, it was suddenly burned and cut off.

And with the help of this weak firelight, Xu Ji finally saw the surrounding situation clearly. Those **** were already so frightened that they didn't know where to run. By the well in front, countless thick hairs appeared like water plants. It grew in the mouth of the well.

Li Wazi, who came from Dayangzhai Village, was too close to the mouth of the well. Her hair was already wrapped in a ball, and she was slowly pulling towards the well.

Xu Ji was frightened and frightened. He raised his courageous mahogany sword and was about to kill him.

But suddenly I heard a cry coming from the well, and my eyes seemed to be filled with flowers, and I saw a pale face.

Slowly emerging from the mouth of the well, staring at himself faintly.

At this moment, as if struck by lightning, Xu Ji's courage was instantly washed away by the Yin Qi, and he turned around and ran away.

 Can't fight anymore.

He didn't hesitate to pay a lot of money and called many guys in this village. He said that he only wanted them to help plunder the formation, but he actually thought clearly. These guys were selected from various places by the Red Lantern Society, and the furnace fire was the most important. Exuberant.

 They themselves are boys, and with their anger sealed, they would feel hot if they were approached by ordinary wanderers, let alone so many of them at once?

It is precisely because there are so many people helping out that even in the middle of the night, the yang energy outweighs the yin energy.

 It can restrain the behavior in the well.

 But as soon as these people were afraid, they all fled, and the situation suddenly reversed, and the strength and weakness became apparent.

 Dusk is the boundary, yin and yang are divided into two parts.

How can a living person fight against such sinister things in the middle of the night?

　Now is no longer the time to decide whether to seize this last chance. It is to save your life...

 Xu Ji just thought about these things, so he didn't care about many other things, turned around and ran towards the outside of the village.

While running wildly, he tore open the front of his shirt, revealing a purse on his chest.

He grew up with his father in the city, but every year his father would take his family back to visit relatives in a remote village a hundred miles away. At first, he didn't understand why.

Even when his father grabbed a handful of ashes from the old fire pond in the village and asked him to take it with him, he felt a little disgusted.

 But now, we can only rely on this thing to save our lives.

Once a person's courage is lost, it is like a river bursting its banks, and endless fear overflows.

Xu Ji was still fine, at least his legs were not weak from fright, and he was just running with long strides. But behind his head, he could only hear the whimpering and crying, which was always next to his ears, and there were even more sounds of saxaul behind him. There was a sound, and from time to time something would wrap around his feet.

He cursed loudly, turned around and struck with his sword from time to time, and then ran away again.

Whenever the cry came closer, the ashes on the chest became a little warmer, and then gradually died out.

I do n't know if the old objects in their hands are really amazing, or the pond ash at the chest has played a role. He really escaped the village, which is reasonable to stay away from that well.

But for some reason, the wind was still biting outside the village, and there seemed to be something shaking behind the invisible night. Xu Ji did not dare to slow down, and just ran forward in long strides. Finally, he saw a figure running in front of him on the long and narrow road.

Thinking that it was a clerk from Zhuangzi, Xu Ji was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed: "You bastard, why are you running away?"

“If you're brave enough, we'll do that thing together…”

He hurriedly caught up while running, also thinking that he would have more company to feel more at ease.

 But the man was so scolded by him that he still walked forward without looking back, and his speed slowed down.

Xu Ji quickly approached and finally vaguely saw this person's appearance.

　　Seeing a face staring straight at him.

The man didn't look back, but he still looked at himself, because his face was originally on the back of his head. His stiff facial features seemed to be painted on, and above the exaggerated expression, those eyes were the most strange, staring intently. He looked at himself and showed a weird smile.

It is not turning its back to you, but is always staring at you!

"ah…"

Xu Ji didn't know what it was, but he felt a wave of Yin Qi coming towards his face. He was so frightened that he suddenly grabbed the mahogany sword and swung it forward.

The line suddenly disappeared, but the sound of laughter was left in the open space.

Xu Ji was so frightened that his head was dizzy. All he could do was run away, one step at a time, sometimes he would fall down, get up and run again. He didn't know how far he ran before he calmed down a little. Looking ahead, he saw a group of people. People gathered there, shivering.

This time Xu Ji had experience. He squinted his eyes tightly and finally recognized the green belts around the waists of the group of people, and then he was sure.

  Found him, this time he is the man from his village.

 “Wait for me, wait for me…”

This time he didn't dare to curse, but hurried towards them.

 But when he got closer, he stopped again. This time he could see clearly that they were indeed his men in the village. He could even vaguely see two of them from the background as his followers.

But now they are gathered together, their bodies trembling, as if they are discussing something, and they seem to be just crying together.

 When they got close and made a sound, they slowly turned around, their eyes rolling around like dice, their bodies still trembling and shaking.

This time, Xu Ji saw clearly that they were not trembling.

Instead, he was holding his fingers and tapping them, until the flesh and blood were bruised and only the bones were left.

"oops…"

Some of them seemed to recognize Xu Ji, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

The voice was sharp and weird, extremely unpleasant, but it seemed to be full of surprise: "I finally blocked you kid again..."

"ah…"

Seeing these people approaching, Xu Ji felt his scalp numb, fear welling up in his skull, and he was about to run away, but suddenly a gust of wind blew on his face, and his body felt as if he had fallen into an ice kiln. I can't even lift the sword with my hand.

He almost just stood there blankly, looking at the shopkeepers one by one, their lips raised, revealing their cold and stern teeth, and they gathered around him.

Under the impact of endless fear, Xu Ji had only time to let out a scream with the last strength in his body. In the dark night, it spread far, far away.

 “By the way, that's what it tastes like!”

Far away, Hu Ma, who was sitting on the slope, suddenly stood up.

 He heard Xu Ji's screams, and he also heard many things from the screams.

This is how I feel. When I first came to this world, I was surrounded by so many evil spirits. This is how I felt.

 “It's our turn.”

He blew the incense in his hand, and not long after, he saw Xiao Hongtang running out of the darkness.

With two small hands tightly clenched, Hu Ma opened it for her and took a look. She saw that she was actually holding a piece of meat in her hand, and she looked behind her cautiously.

 She just brought in so many things and was driven away in such a hurry, but she actually managed to save a piece of it?

 “Eat quickly!”

Huma hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, then exhaled, stood up, and turned to look at the dark night in front of her.

There is no light in the front, only the dark night, hiding the evil spirits that are reveling and wandering in the night.

 And trembling people.

"When others are timid, it is your opportunity..."

Hu Ma slowly performed the exercises, turned up his stove, and emboldened himself. Then with a swipe, he pulled out the steel knife from the sheath, took Little Hongtang with him, who was licking his fingers contentedly, and took big steps towards the place. Walking in the dark night where evil spirits roam.
