Twilight Boundary

This prayer and these words are extremely sincere.

At first, Hu Ma only thought that this was a test left by her mother-in-law for herself. When she had the ability to solve this desperate village, she would come to get this token.

But later I realized that her mother-in-law did not intend to test herself. No matter what her status was, she was a descendant of the Hu family. No matter what her abilities were, she was the only descendant of the Zhenzong Mansion still alive. There was no need to test her when inheriting the family property.

In this case, there is a reason why she placed the Hu family's token here. The resentful ghosts in Juehu Village are equivalent to the guards who help the Hu family guard the token.

Even if they are unconscious and do not do it deliberately, as a descendant of the Hu family, we must express our gratitude to them.

After bowing, Hu Ma straightened up. Without hesitation, she took a deep breath and took big steps into the dark village.

The four tall stone tablets erected around the village were like four pillars, surrounding the village. The black energy and billowing resentful souls surging inside like a tsunami were prevented from overflowing outside the village.

And when Hu Ma, as a living person, passed through the square gate stone and walked towards the village, the black air filled inside began to evaporate like boiling water, and the countless shadowy ghosts emitted a numbing sound. There was a strange laugh, and his face was full of greed.

Even the four stone tablets were shaking slightly, as if they were sending a warning to outsiders, and it seemed that something inside was too active, causing the four stone tablets to tremble uncontrollably.

But Hu Ma narrowed his eyes and ignored all of this. He took a slight step and crossed the boundary line formed by four stone monuments. The next moment, he felt that the sharp wind that could cut human skin and flesh was close to him in an instant. Come on the face.

He raised his sleeves to cover his face, and secretly mentioned Dao Xing to block the yin energy. Then he opened his eyes to look, but suddenly felt that the sun was dazzling, and there was a field of white flowers in front of him. He concentrated slightly, looked to the left and right, and saw that he was now , as if in a paradise.

As far as the eye can see, I can see neat houses, bustling people, chickens and ducks running all over the ground, children chasing dogs and cats, the white sun shining down from above, and smoke rising from every house.

"Oh, a guest is here..."

Seeing him entering the village, enthusiastic voices suddenly sounded next to him, but villagers with smiling faces came to greet him one after another. They bowed to Hu Ma from a distance and said with a smile: "Guests, please come inside. Please come." Sit in the clan master’s room.”

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. He followed them in and looked around.

Wherever I passed, I found that everything was lifelike, the houses were cleaned extremely clean, and the children were all wearing neat clothes. The villagers leading the way and on both sides, some feeding chickens, some eating, and some spinning cloth, were all curious. He looked at the visitor.

He had entered this Juehu village once before and vaguely remembered the layout of the path, which was exactly the same as what he had seen before. He even looked up and saw the stone mill in the middle of the village.

At that time, I remember that there was a stone box wrapped with an iron chain on top of the stone mill, which contained the Hu family's keepsake.

But now when I looked over, I couldn't see the stone box. I only saw strong villagers driving cattle. The corn in the bags was poured in, and the millstone was turned round and round, and the white rice was flowing out. out.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Hu Ma was speechless. Surrounded by the enthusiastic villagers, the man they called the clan leader was sitting in the house. In the house, there was an old man who looked very old, wearing a round hat. Holding a cane, he greeted me enthusiastically.

"The descendants of my old friends come here, and they are greeted from afar. Please sit down and sit down."

"..."

Hu Ma was helped to sit down, then looked at the old man and said with a smile: "The old friend the old man mentioned is..."

"Of course she is the most kind-hearted walking ghost mother-in-law in our seven miles and eight villages..."

The clan leader looked grateful and sighed: "She is very kind to our village..."

"If it weren't for her, we would have abandoned our body, wandering in the dark, with nowhere to rely on. How could we have the freedom and happiness that we have now, far away from the worldly world, suffering from birth, old age, illness, and ease?"

"Now my whole Shixia Village, old and young, has entered the fairyland in the box. They are happy and have no desires. They only regret not being able to repay the kindness of the ghost mother-in-law. Now that her blood relatives are here, how can we Don’t you want to repay me well?”

He said and clapped his hands: "Come on, come on, bring the tea..."

As he was talking, a red-faced and bulging-chested girl walked in outside the room, carrying tea. The cup was steaming hot and the tea was fragrant.

Outside the house door and outside the window, there were little heads crowded together everywhere, but it was the urchins in the village. They all knew that guests were coming, and they were curious, so they crowded together and looked into the house.

The tea was brought to Hu Ma's face, but he did not accept it. He just looked at the clan leader and said, "I don't drink tea. I'm just curious about how happy the old man is talking about."

“I have no worries about food and clothing, my dreams come true, and I am free from illness and disaster. What’s another disadvantage?”

The clan master smiled and said: "There are still twenty points of benefits. My old man is illiterate and can't explain it. My little benefactor will know it after drinking tea."

As he spoke, he nodded his head with a smile that was clearly very sincere. The villagers around him, the older girl who handed him tea, and even the children huddled together outside the window also nodded and smiled. .

In this village, the sun is dazzling, the wind is warm, and everyone looks prosperous and smiles.

Hu Ma watched silently, feeling that it was so real. He lowered his head and glanced at the tea handed over by the blushing girl. There were a few tea leaves floating in it. It was green and fresh, and the fragrance of the tea seemed to be alive, flowing directly into people's eyes. Drilling inside the nasal cavity.

He stretched out his hand, but did not take the tea. Instead, he took the older girl's wrist. He felt that the tentacle was smooth, warm and fragrant, and he did not find any flaws.

"oops……"

The eldest girl's wrist was pulled by Hu Ma, and her face turned red with embarrassment, but she did not break free, she just turned her head away as if she was shy.

The clan elder next to him raised his head and laughed, and the villagers around him also raised their head and laughed. The urchins huddled together outside the house also raised their head and laughed: "The elder girl blushed and wanted to get married." ,marriage!"

The clan elder smiled and nodded: "Get married, get married, get married after having tea."

Hu Ma only felt countless voices squeezing into his mind, as if he was under the water, and his eardrums were squeezed to the point of discomfort. He pondered for a moment, then secretly performed his exercises, preparing to turn his whole body into death.

But this act of merit surprised me.

His body is still in good condition, but it seems that he has lost the ability of the old man to turn his whole body into death.

It's as if you are really in a warm and prosperous village. The sunshine above your head is shining down. The warmth, as well as the clan elders around you and the young girl who comes to serve tea are all real. Every plant and tree. One cup of tea, every detail is revealed, without any flaws.

So he slowly put down the girl's wrist in his hand, glanced at the smiling faces around him, and said: "I don't want to drink tea, and I don't want to get married. If you really want to thank me..."

He looked through the half-open door of his hometown, looked at the millstone, and said, "I want what's on that millstone."

The clan elder stopped smiling and looked puzzled: "You want grain fields, there are grain fields in our village, you want big girls, there are big girls in our village, you want chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, there are plenty in our village to eat. Chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs..."

"...but you insist on asking for this stone nianzi?"

"..."

Hu Ma nodded and said, "Yes."

The old man's face already looked a little ugly, and he said, "Why do you want this thing?"

Hu Ma smiled and said: "Of course it's because only this thing can grind the skin off the grain to see if it's rotten inside..."

"Uh-huh!"

When he said this, the countless smiling people around him suddenly stopped smiling. Even the naughty children crowded outside the door and outside the window did the same, with countless eyes looking straight at them. flax.

The elder of the tribe was also on crutches: "I've been waiting to treat you well, but you want to ask for the lucky root in our village? If I give it to you, will we all eat food that does not peel off in the future?"

"Come here, let's feed the guests some tea."

"..."

After giving the order, the villagers surrounding him swarmed forward and pressed down on Hu Ma's arms and shoulders. The girl who served the tea gritted her teeth and pushed the tea in the cup forward fiercely. , poured into Hu Ma’s mouth.

Hu Ma sighed quietly, suddenly stood up and took a step forward.

The surroundings were full of palms coming forward, people squeezing up, and even a big girl who was hugged up, but he ignored them all and just took this step.

Then, twist your body and take the second step.

I felt that following my steps, there was a chaotic sound around me, like the sound of tearing cloth.

He took seven steps in succession without even looking at where he landed. If it was a table or chair, he would crush it directly. If it was someone's arms or legs, he would break it with his kicks. Even if there were iron nails under his feet, he would still let the iron fall. The nails penetrated the soles of my feet, but I still had to stand firm.

"Snapped!"

When he took the seventh step and stepped on the ground, he suddenly saw that everything in front of him was fading rapidly, and the white sunlight turned into a gloomy and dark wind.

Those extremely real faces became ethereal, distorted and weird.

Even the tea that was forcibly handed to her face by the big girl, the intact coarse porcelain tea cup turned into tattered tiles, the green tea leaves turned into a few black and stained teeth, the fragrant tea, It turned into dark red rancid blood.

There were pale and gloomy faces all around. The naughty boy's eyes fell to the side of his nose, shaking like snot.

Outside, there were no people grinding grain. There were only a group of gloomy little ghosts surrounding the iron box. They opened their big mouths and gnawed hard with all their strength. I don’t know how long they had been gnawing. .

"call!"

Hu Ma breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it: "This is the normal style of painting..."
