Twilight Boundary

"Wherever there is trouble, the ghosts will go..."

Listening to the unpretentious and extremely simple words of the old man holding a cow next to her, Hu Ma felt that her heart was shaken for a moment.

The mother-in-law has been back to the ancestral temple for more than a year. He has also adapted to the life of the Blood Food Gang that revolves around harvesting Tai Sui's flesh and blood in order to survive. Over time, he has even forgotten these things. Like the mother-in-law, he walks between the villages every day and gives people food. A person who removes evil spirits.

There are very few ghosts in the Blood Food Gang, only one or two occasionally, and their temperament is completely different from that of my mother-in-law.

They have become people who help the people in the Blood Food Gang make money and live in peace, and they no longer have the smoke and mirrors in the village.

"Brother Huma..."

A cold little hand held Hu Ma's palm, and Xiao Hongtang also rushed back. Hu Ma asked in a low voice: "Xiao Hongtang, are you the ones who went to inform these ghosts?"

Xiao Hongtang was startled for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I ran for a long time before I ran out, said something to Grandpa Tiger, and then came back!"

"Not Xiao Hongtang?"

Hu Ma was also slightly startled. These ghosts said that someone sent a messenger to deliver the letter. They knew there was trouble here and came over. She thought it was Xiao Hongtang...

But if not Xiao Hongtang, who is it?

In the confusion, I saw the ghost walkers smiling and saying hello to each other, and suddenly I felt enlightened.

Maybe this issue is no longer important.

Maybe it was just when I was very busy that a passing ghost man saw him and sent a messenger to inform him. It was just as natural as if someone in the village was in trouble, he would go back to the village to report a message.

A ghost man gets the letter, and then sends a little messenger to go, and then someone else gets the letter.

After going back and forth, all the ghost walkers within a hundred miles radius got the letter, packed up their belongings, and came here.

only……

Hu Ma was a little confused and whispered: "Xiao Hongtang, I don't quite understand why they came?"

"Aren't they worried that there will be too much trouble here and they will get into trouble?"

"..."

"Ghost walkers don't want this."

Xiao Hongtang also looked at the figures gathered on the mountain road, swaying her two little braids tied with red ropes, and said crisply: "My mother-in-law said, ghost walkers are people who seek life along the boundaries. "

"Wherever the boundaries are blurred, that's where they will go!"

"..."

"Boundary?"

Hu Ma thought: "A two-divided world bounded by dusk?"

Suddenly I understood, and there was an unspeakable emotion surging through me.

Dusk is the boundary, Yin and Yang are divided into two parts.

There are many evil spirits in this world, especially at night, when the evil spirits are so noisy that living people dare not even step out of their houses.

But under so many evil spirits, people still have to live, and they can live because of this boundary. No matter how powerful the evil spirits are, they can only come out at night. During the day, this world still belongs to them. of.

They can cultivate, work, and harvest Tai Sui during the day to maintain their own lives and make this world still like a world of living people.

This limit is the life of a living person.

But there are always some powerful evil spirits, and there are also some high-ranking people who have great magic power and can make clouds cover the sun, or even just let their evil ghosts breathe over, thus messing up this boundary.

Let this place be full of trouble every day and night, making it no longer like a world of living people, and making it impossible for these people who are working hard to survive...

But no matter how much they don't care, there's always someone who does.

These ghost walkers don't know what's going on here, and they don't know who's shadow is behind all this.

But they just saw the chaos here, so they came.

The reason is so simple that it is unbelievable for reincarnations like me. Are there not smart people among them who know that this sudden trouble is very abnormal and is most likely caused by something beyond the limits of their power?

They just didn't think about it and came just because there was trouble here.

Just because of the simplest truth: the world is chaotic and miserable. If you don't help, you can't live.

It was impossible to describe the emotions surging in Hu Ma's heart at this moment. He only felt that the fatigue, dizziness, and anger accumulated over the past few days were suddenly knocked away by some kind of force.

He used to trust his mother-in-law, but he didn't understand her. He had always been wary and distant from the world.

He would feel angry towards those who didn't care about the life and death of these people, but deep down in his heart, he would sometimes feel that those people had done nothing.

Reincarnated people come from an era of information explosion. What haven’t you seen?

But it was not until this moment that he suddenly saw something at the bottom of this world. He had a vague feeling of being hit in the heart by this simplest and oldest thing...

"No matter how chaotic the world is, there are always people doing something..."

After thinking about this, the fatigue on Hu Ma's face seemed to dissipate a little, and she whispered: "The boundaries are not born there..."

"Let's go, Xiao Hongtang, let's go help too."

Xiao Hongtang looked at Hu Ma's appearance, her eyes curled up with laughter, and she nodded vigorously.

Together, they followed the ghost walkers who gathered from various places and walked towards the hillside.

At this moment, it seems that there are no reincarnations, and there is no little shopkeeper in the Red Lantern Lady Club. There is only the grandson of the ghost mother-in-law of Dayang Village, and the little messenger.

When they arrived at the hillside, they found that seven or eight people had already arrived in advance.

They are all ghost walkers from various places, with various services and costumes. If they have one thing in common, it is probably that they all look poorer, because they usually walk in villages on the edge of each other, and there are no How much oil and water.

Erguotou said that ghost walkers are a way to burn money, but these people don't look like they have money to burn.

Now these people have surrounded a tomb on the slope from a distance.

It was said to be a tomb, but it looked like just a small earthen bag. A small half of it collapsed, and the decaying coffin inside the tomb could be vaguely seen.

The strange thing is that from time to time, black smoke floats out of this tomb.

You can't see it clearly with the naked eye, but you can see it with your peripheral vision. It's steaming all the time, but it doesn't stop.

Hu Ma didn't know why they came here in unison. In the past few days, there were endless troubles in various villages. He was running around, just to save people, and his head was getting big.

Strange things like black smoke rising from a grave are really out of the question.

But there must be a reason why these ghost walkers found this place the first time they came here.

In the crowd, there was an old man holding a smoking pole, discussing in a low voice with the people around him: "There is always a root cause for trouble everywhere. I think this grave is not good, and the evil spirit spreads out from here. "

"That's it."

A middle-aged woman with flowers on her hair said loudly: "The evil man in the tomb has messed up all the trades around here, and even the trades in other places have been attracted. If we seal this place first, people around here will no longer be able to live in peace."

In the crowd, other ghost walkers also nodded, thinking they agreed with their statement.

Someone said: "Then seal the root of the disaster first, and then spread it out to get rid of the evil spirits. Can you guys start now?"

"Whoever has a trick, use it."

"..."

"Let's do it..."

The crowd that gathered surged and shouted loudly.

Hu Ma looked at them from behind the crowd and could also see that these ghosts had different skills. Some were very clever. They also held locks, bells and other old objects similar to magic weapons in their hands.

But there are also people who seem to have no moral character. It may be that the village is familiar with the witches and wizards who can suppress evil spirits and can help deal with them, just like the old Yangpi uncle in Mang Village in Laoyin Mountain.

But none of them were afraid, nor did they fight over each other, nor did they hide their clumsiness. They just laughed and discussed coming to help.

Someone said: "When the evil energy is released, it is nothing more than affecting the surrounding feng shui through the earth, water, and air veins. Which type does this tomb bun belong to?"

Someone else said: "I can't take care of it now. It's safe to seal it all."

"Then I'll seal his earth veins first!"

As the people nearby listened, some people volunteered and took out their belongings. Some people took bone sticks and circled the grave buns on the ground to draw talismans. They also poured some ashes from the picks on their shoulders and sprinkled them around, and then Light the fire and let it burn slowly.

Everyone covered their noses one after another: "Shit?"

The ghost man who sealed the earth's veins glared: "It's mixed with black Tai Sui and kept in the pig pen for three years!"

"Isn't that still shit?"

Everyone was helpless and shouted again: "Who has the unique skill to use it to seal the Qi meridians?"

Hearing someone shouting, the middle-aged woman said, "I have one, please help me pull the rope."

As she spoke, she took out her purse from her arms and took out a red ball of thread. The people around her helped her hold hands.

First, they cut wood from the side and set up a shelf around the tomb bun. Then they fixed it on the shelf with red thread. They held one end and turned the tomb bun while chanting loudly.

After several turns, layers of red lines were drawn around the tomb buns, and even the smell of feces was gone.

"I'll seal its water veins."

An old man from the crowd stepped out and took out a few nails that were covered with rust but were polished underneath. He boasted to the people around him: "Look at what's on these nails."

"Yin bone jade!"

"This is a drought demon that my grandfather burned back then and became a Taoist demon. The one he burned is the best at overcoming water. Let me nail it to the four directions and see how it behaves."

This tomb bun should be the landing point that Huang Xian said he would blow in one breath.

Hu Ma had been busy for a few days, but he didn't even know that this breath was here. He didn't even know that if this breath blew over, it would land in a certain place and cause trouble. Moreover, even if he knew it, he might not be able to find it. method to seal it.

These people have high and low levels of human nature, but they are all very experienced, and they are sealed off while joking.

Seeing them burning talismans and chanting spells on the grave buns, Hu Ma was also enthusiastic and wanted to step forward to help.

"Are you the little shopkeeper from the Blood Food Society?"

But the people inside thought he was in the way and pushed him out. Many people looked at him and said with a smile, "How many days have you not closed your eyes?"

"Let's rest first!"

"Before, this place was watched by people from the Blood Food Gang, and none of us were willing to come. Now look, the Blood Food Gang isn't all bad guys who only care about money and food..."
