Twilight Boundary

Chapter 269 The underworld official demands his life

"What days..."

Hu Ma didn't expect Miss Red Wine's attention to be on this issue. After being stunned for a moment, she remembered that she met this thing for the first time two days after leaving Dongchang Mansion, and whispered:

"So it's the sixth day."

"The first time I felt this thing appear was at midnight six days ago. I burned an incense array and hid."

"It has appeared a few times since then, but has been avoided."

"..."

Miss Claret suddenly fell silent.

Hu Ma vaguely felt that she must have guessed something, and felt slightly worried in her heart. While waiting, she heard Miss Red Wine suddenly say: "Do you believe us?"

"What?"

Hu Ma didn't expect that she would ask such a question.

Miss White Wine had said that the reincarnation of Anzhou was trustworthy, but her relationship with Miss Red Wine seemed a bit...

"You're in quite a bit of trouble."

Miss Red Wine's voice sounded faintly, but with a bit more solemnity, and she whispered: "It seems that we are going to receive this letter with our own hands."

"But I have to tolerate you a little. If you run a little more, tomorrow at a quarter of noon, you can come to the Liu'er Ancestral Hall between the two big locust trees in the south of Anzhou City, at the entrance of Xiuxie Alley, and I will have the knife burner there. I’ll pick you up.”

"Bring that letter here. If something happens, I will decide whether to tell you after reading the letter."

"..."

Hearing this, Hu Ma was a little surprised: "Take it in person?"

There are many ways to deliver letters between reincarnated persons, but receiving letters face to face is the riskiest.

It was also the first time that he had connected with them. Not to mention whether he could trust them, could they just trust him?

Or maybe the white wine lady's dignity prevented them from paying attention to the danger?

But after thinking about it again, I realized that her arrangement might be related to the slave ghost she mentioned. I quickly weighed it in my mind and replied: "Okay, I will go there tomorrow."

After exiting the Benming Temple, he thought silently for a moment, then sat on a chair and fell asleep.

So I got up the next day and started getting ready.

Guan Zhou's family was very nice. Although he was harboring bad thoughts along the way, he still told him honestly when I asked him about my job.

Among them are the most basic skills in magic, such as disguise and ventriloquism. Ventriloquism is not easy to practice, but it is not easy to learn the skill of disguise. However, you can usually deal with it for a while. Simple.

First, I went to buy some pieces of pigskin and some writing brushes early in the morning. Then I went to the pawn shop and picked up some old clothes.

When he returned to the inn, he did some good things and painted on his face, and he became an old man with a white beard. Of course, he could only see it from a distance, but up close, the flaws were quite obvious. Yes, there is nothing we can do but wear a hat.

First, I haven't studied these tasks carefully, and second, I don't have enough time.

If you really want to make the kind of human skin mask that Butler Zhou mentioned, you have to make molds and traces, and you have to use silver needles to change the direction of the texture. It's troublesome.

But from what he said, there are masters in the art world who know how to draw skins.

That's really turning into a completely different person.

After making these preparations, he ordered Xiang Yatou, left the inn, and headed all the way to the Xiuxie Alley in the south of Anzhou City. Seeing that he was so busy, Xiang Yatou saw that he was doing something serious, so she didn't dare. Excuse me, just wait patiently.

All the way to the south of Anzhou Prefecture, I first pretended to be an old Jianghu and wandered around for a while, then found the embroidered shoe alley, but at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He came to the south of the city and to the entrance of the alley. He even saw the two big locust trees that Miss Red Wine mentioned, and even saw the ancient well, but he did not see the Liu'er Ancestral Hall that they were talking about.

It's empty here, except for a small shrine. How can there be any ancestral hall that can accommodate people?

After searching around, I stared at the shrine for a long time. I gradually understood something in my heart. I was slightly doubtful, but the quarter of noon was almost here.

"No matter how careful you are, you still have to make a decision."

"Since you want to come here to ask for help, it would be bad if you show doubts..."

"..."

He thought to himself, so he simply pretended to be a passer-by taking a rest, and sat down gently in front of the shrine. His bamboo hat blocked the sun, and his peripheral vision illuminated the pedestrians coming and going.

But after waiting for a long time, not many people were seen, let alone suspicious people.

Time passed slowly, and it seemed that a moment had passed. The sun was making people feel warm, and the water in the well next to it was cool again. The strange fragrance of flowers floated in, and the flax was actually a little tired, vaguely, as if I heard the charming and breathless laughter of a woman.

When he turned his head, he couldn't help but be surprised, and saw that in the small shrine next to him, there seemed to be many little people with long fingers, playing the piano and flute there.

"Brother Lao Baigan, you are too careful, come in and talk!"

Hu Ma suddenly heard a smiling call from the small shrine, and felt a lightness in her body. Unexpectedly, she arrived in a spacious and exquisite hall, with exquisite decoration and fragrant fragrance.

There are warblers and swallows around, wearing tulle, rubbing their hands next to them.

The voice calling him came from the front, and he saw a man wrapped in a stretched black robe, lying lazily on the steps, smiling and waving to him.

Hu Ma was in a semi-awake, semi-puzzled state, slightly surprised, and said: "This is..."

"Miss Red Wine's Yellow Liang Technique..."

The man who was wearing a black robe had a vaguely handsome face, but for some reason, the more he wanted to look at him, the less he could remember his appearance. He smiled and said, "Although it is an illusion, she will not cast it casually. "

"In reality, you have to be more careful when meeting and obtaining trust, so I borrowed this technique."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to Hu Ma and said, "Here's the letter. Take it over. I'll hand it to Miss Red Wine first."

Now she was in a fantasy world, but Hu Ma groped her chest and actually found the letter. But before she was about to hand it over, she suddenly became a little wary and glanced at the man in black robe.

The man in the black robe was startled for a moment and said, "I don't know where Miss Red Wine's birthmark is. I can't get the code right."

"...I don't dare to be right!"

Hu Ma said: "I want to ask you, what is the name of the dog that the lady keeps?"

"..."

The man in black robe was startled for a moment, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face: "She must have a cat, and its name is Ash... How could she like dogs? She hates dogs the most."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ma finally felt relieved.

It wasn't that I was too vigilant, but I really needed to be more careful about this kind of thing. Then I handed over the letter with a smile, but I saw the man in black robe took it, and just handed it to the woman next to me. Convenience and lightness floated away.

The man in the black robe sighed and smiled at Hu Ma: "As expected of someone who is with Miss White Wine, he is so cautious."

"But please sit down for a moment, I have something important to tell you."

"..."

"What?"

Hu Ma vaguely guessed it and looked up at the other party's serious eyes.

"Do you know why we are so anxious to see you during the day?"

The man in black robe whispered: "Tonight is the seventh day. The ghost will definitely find you, which will cause trouble. Brother, I am not trying to scare you. If you don't make preparations tonight, you might not be able to survive." "

Hu Ma let out a low breath. The matter was indeed not simple. They noticed it when they asked themselves yesterday.

"Gui ghosts are not human beings."

Shaodaozi whispered: "That thing is not something ordinary people can command, but once you invite it out, you will definitely find someone."

"From the first day it started looking for you, you have been unable to escape."

"Within seven days, let alone using the incense array, even ordinary people may escape as long as they pay attention in advance, or hide in a dirty place, behind a statue, or even hide under the bed. You can get through it, but you can only avoid it for the first six days.”

"On the seventh day, no matter how hard you hide, it will find you."

"..."

Hu Ma thought of that weird thing, and couldn't help but feel enlightened.

No wonder, in the past few days, although I could avoid it with the incense array, I never felt relaxed in my heart.

He immediately said: "Then...what can we do now?"

"We are here to help you now!"

Shaodaozi sighed and said: "If you want to deal with this thing, you can only ask Miss Red Wine to take action in person. Moreover, after you meet her in reality, she will help you deal with it."

"That is to say, you have only connected once, and she will appear in front of you and even reveal her identity."

"..."

"this……"

Hu Ma suddenly felt enlightened and understood why the other party was facing a formidable enemy.

For the reincarnated person, this is indeed an extremely risky and embarrassing thing. He himself remained slightly silent and said to him: "Then Miss Red Wine..."

"She definitely doesn't want to refuse, such a careless person..."

Shaodaozi sighed and said: "I don't know how many reincarnations heard about her before and came to ask for her help. She didn't refuse, but we have to persuade her to be careful."

"That's why we need to read the letter first."

"Only after reading the contents of the letter can I decide whether I really need to spend so much effort and take such a big risk to help you in reality."

"..."

The other party said it calmly, and Hu Ma felt relieved.

Counting the time, the letter had been taken away for a while, and then he whispered: "What about the result?"

Shaodaozi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he saw a light fragrance wafting around him. All the orioles and swallows around him disappeared at the same time, and the surrounding became extremely quiet.

"Miss Claret has read the letter."

Shaodaozi sighed and said with a wry smile: "It seems that Miss White Wine has made a guarantee for you in the letter. You are the type worthy of our best efforts to help you."

"Now, your matter is our matter."
