Twilight Boundary

"To find out the other party's background, you have to go into the forest and take a look, right?"

Hu Ma stood outside the forest and looked inside. She didn't know how deep it was, let alone what was inside.

Even though it's bright now, there seems to be a permeating yin energy inside. Now he wants to learn more skills, and his curiosity is more intense.

But after thinking about it, I might as well forget it. I would just watch Aunt Zhang more often and learn more about it, but it would be bad if I don't listen to other people's arrangements and cause trouble.

However, speaking of it, I am even more curious about Aunt Zhang.

Not only can she make incense arrays, but she also seems to be able to directly use some kind of power, such as using the residual smoke from the incense array to create a curtain, covering everyone from the evil eyes. If you think about it, she That hand is quite magical.

But think about it, ghosts have a lot of work, but they can't all rely on living.

If you want to build a doorway, you must have some real stuff in your hands.

From the beginning to now, he has gradually gained an understanding of the art of ghost walking. There are different levels of ghost walking. They mostly rely on experience and various activities to deal with evil spirits. Moreover, most of them do not stick to any art and have useful things. , can be used.

And many of their own skills have been learned from others, such as raising little angels, which is the most typical example.

But no matter how much you learn from others, there are always some things that others cannot learn. It is these things that support the door.

"Each doorway has an entrance sign."

Hu Ma thought silently in her heart: "Before we, the Sui Shou people, just started eating Tai Sui, building up strength, and practicing postures, once we understand the key to 'death' and start refining a part of the body to become death, that's when we enter." doorway."

"The same is true for the Ming Secretary. Before he entered the Dao, he only worked as a doctor, prescribing medicine and diagnosing diseases. But after he gained the ability to help people who were dying to live longer, he entered the Dao."

"The sign of the entrance to the Jig Sect is that among their fake jobs, there is a real one?"

"..."

Now I am getting more and more curious: "Then what is the sign of the ghost walker's entrance?"

I have also thought about whether I should ask Aunt Zhang directly about these questions. I feel that she is an honest person and she might tell me if I ask.

But considering that this kind of thing is very taboo in the world, I decided not to ask.

As for stealing lessons, Hu Ma didn't feel the least bit embarrassed.

Didn’t the Tiger say that the Hu family are the ancestors of the ghost walkers? So what's the point of secretly learning something of your own?

While thinking about it, I waited for Aunt Zhang to eat before asking her if she wanted to rest. After all, she was busy all night yesterday and didn't close her eyes.

Agu Zhang said, "It doesn't matter if you take a break or not, I'm used to it."

"But I burned all the incense yesterday, so I still have to find a place to buy some and replenish some paper."

"..."

"That's easy to say, just go to the town ahead and buy some."

Hu Ma agreed and went back to say hello to Chao Shi and Butler Zhou.

Go to a town ahead, take a short rest, and replenish some water.

No one else had any objections, including the most anxious among them, Butler Zhou. Counting the time, they had already set out for five or six days.

Hu Ma was well prepared, and Aunt Zhang was very capable. Although everyone followed her and followed the rules, which was a bit restrictive, they also avoided a lot of trouble. Overall, the speed of the trip was actually very fast.

Now they have left the boundaries of Mingzhou Prefecture and arrived in Gunzhou.

After going all the way, crossing the Shajiang River and passing through Dongchang Prefecture, you can take the Pingnan Ancient Road, and then take the road straight to the big stone cliff of Lingshou Prefecture.

During this time, Butler Zhou also noticed it.

He was originally from an acting family, and logically speaking, he was no stranger to this world. However, when he was in his twenties, he suffered a disaster and was rescued by the Li family of Dashouya. Almost sixty.

I haven't been involved in the world for nearly forty years, and those experiences have long been unfamiliar. Now I still talk less and just listen to the arrangements of Hu Ma and Aunt Zhang.

I thought about going to the town ahead to rest, but unexpectedly, after walking for several hours, I couldn't find a decent place. I also passed two villages in the middle, but they were sparsely populated. The few living people were hiding here. It's so tight that you can't even scream.

There was no smoke from cooking in all the villages, let alone a paper-making shop that could help with incense, candles, and yellow paper.

Everyone was a little surprised for a moment, and Hu Ma looked at the map with some doubts. Logically speaking, this place shouldn't be so desolate.

Fortunately, after noon, they met a caravan with more than a dozen big horses and mules. Hu Ma followed the rules of the river and lake and went up to salute and asked, only to learn unexpectedly:

"It's a hundred miles around and it's desolate. I don't know, but a few months ago, there was a banditry here. There was a ruthless bandit who killed a lot of people. He pulled up a large team of thieves and charged and looted everywhere. The momentum was astonishing. .”

"All the people around are dead or running away!"

"However, those group of thieves also committed many evil deeds. Some expert who couldn't stand it took action. They led the village and killed them all overnight. I heard that the corpses were piled up in a hill on Niangdanzi Mountain. From now on, no one dares to cause trouble..."

"But those who escaped just escaped. Such a large area was left deserted."

"If you go forward, it will be even more desolate. You should speed up your journey as soon as possible. When you reach the Shazi River, you will see a living person."

"..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Hu Ma originally thought about going to the town twenty miles away to have a look, but after hearing this, he gave up the idea.

I just accompanied Smiley, took the money, and exchanged some food from these caravans. I also asked for a few packages of incense, candles, and yellow knives. After all, the world is so troubled now, no matter whether there are people in this caravan. The people are equipped with the corresponding things.

Although this caravan saw that he was a supporter and didn't want to get into trouble, after all, he was so nice and they were all traveling, so he gave it to Hu Ma and the others without charging more.

They walked south by themselves and could quickly find a place to replenish their supplies.

Both sides were happy. Hu Ma carried the food and other supplies to the car, then opened the donkey cart and let them pass.

Continuing forward, we found that it was becoming increasingly desolate, with few living people to be seen, and from time to time there were white bones on the roadside, staring at them with two black holes in their eye sockets, watching them pass by.

It seems easy to say that, but the banditry here is really quite serious.

Speaking of it, it is different from the world he was in before. This is a troubled, evil, and demonic world.

If in his last life, he had encountered a situation like this, while the emperor was skinned and the officials did not dare to show their heads, whenever there was a disaster somewhere and they could not survive, someone would immediately raise a banner to rebel and conquer the world.

But in this world, there is a mysterious power that just stabilizes the situation.

Just like the man who killed all the thieves overnight...

...What kind of person does it take to kill an entire village in one night?

These things are just hidden in Mingzhou Mansion, but there is really no way to imagine them.

However, now that they had been reminded, they did not dare to be careless. They all cheered up and sped up their journey to leave this place.

This night, of course, there was no need to think about resting. I found a deserted village to stay and set off again at dawn.

But seeing that this wasteland was about to pass, Aunt Zhang became a little uneasy. She looked back from time to time. Hu Ma noticed something and also looked back.

There was nothing there, just a few wild dogs on the roadside, squatting in the grass, watching them pass with red eyes.

In this kind of wasteland, wild dogs are really not uncommon, and they live in packs, almost like wolves.

If you really meet them alone, maybe they can really eat people.

"Auntie, do you have a problem?"

Seeing Aunt Zhang turn her head several times, Hu Ma leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Aunt Zhang also frowned, seeming a little unsure, and said, "Look at those wild dogs, how many are they?"

Hu Ma was startled for a moment, looked back, and couldn't see clearly, and said, "There seem to be three or four of them?"

Aunt Zhang asked: "Did they scream just now?"

This stopped Hu Ma from asking, thought for a moment, and said: "I called twice at first, but then it seemed like I just kept following behind..."

Aunt Zhang suddenly had a worried look on her face.

Hu Ma became curious and didn't ask, but he paid attention to the wild dogs, and saw that they kept stalking from a distance, never getting closer, but never moving far away, until there was a guy who was stared at by it. Feeling furious, I threw a stone at them.

The wild dog was not afraid, and gave them a sinister look, then continued to follow them when they were farther away.

"The wild dogs here are no longer afraid of people..."

Hu Ma also thought silently, feeling more and more strange in her heart: "Dogs like to bark to kill people, but why don't they bark? Why does Aunt Zhang care about this?"

He was already a little suspicious, but unexpectedly, he stopped and quickly looked forward, and saw the handlebar figure waving a whip and shouting loudly.

But on the road in front of the car, at some point, a few wild dogs appeared again. They squatted in the middle of the road and barked at the car from a distance. Following the sound of whips, they were also afraid, so they arrived again in despair. side of the road.

Aunt Zhang looked a little ugly when she saw him.

Hu Ma also cheered up immediately: "What's going on?"

He didn't understand what this meant, but he also knew that something was definitely wrong.

Aunt Zhang sighed lowly and glanced at the empty and desolate surroundings. Behind the grass, there were countless dark red eyes. She whispered: "The barking dogs and the non-barking dogs are both normal, but they only bark twice." If you follow me all the time, it’s so evil..."

"Looking at it, we should have encountered a cadaver dog."

"..."

Hu Ma was startled: "What is this?"

"Wild dogs that eat dead people."

Aunt Zhang whispered: "They are used to eating corpses, and they are addicted to it. They also know that fresh food is delicious. When they see us carrying coffins, they come to beg for it. They want us to give them the dead people in the coffins to eat."

"I only barked twice, and then I kept following, just waiting for us to take the initiative to give them..."

"Now that we're blocking the road, I'm just a little impatient with the wait. If I don't give the body to them, I'm afraid they will rush up and snatch it away..."
