Twilight Boundary

"So, in fact, the matter is very simple. The rude man ate the meat, and the wife and children were not hungry, so they cut the meat from him and ate it..."

"The neighbors couldn't stand the torture of the smell, so they ran to the man's house and saw that most of the meat on the man's body had been eaten by his mother-in-law and children, and they couldn't cut off a few pieces."

"But at this moment, he discovered that his mother-in-law and children also smelled so good?"

Hu Ma sighed in a low voice, and compared the scenes he saw from the tiger before, he had already guessed the cause and effect: "It's even simpler after that. The neighbors cut off the wives and children of the unruly men and ate them. Those Even those who ate it smelled like meat.”

"Of course, some people couldn't control it anymore and cut and ate these people who smelled like meat. So, you eat me, I eat you, and the village became like this in a very short period of time. "

"People are not people, and ghosts are not like ghosts."

"The living ones only want to cut off a piece of meat to eat. The dead ones don't even know they are dead, but they still want to eat it again..."

"..."

Hu Ma slowly figured out the logic behind this, and felt a troubling feeling in her heart. When she stayed in this village, she felt as if she was not in the human world.

If I stay here for even a moment longer, I feel as if I have been stained with some gray dirt.

Also when Hu Mali was following the logic, she heard bursts of crying in front of her, but it was the old men who were leading the way who were wearing shrouds and hats, with pale faces and gloomy aura, crying: " Why did this happen?"

"Our village is a rule-abiding place. Even though we are poor, we must be very strict in raising our children. For generations, we have never had any criminals, and there have even been a few high-ranking officials..."

"When you come to our village begging for food, you have to ask for soup and ask around. Who doesn't say that the people in our village are kind, honest, and unfilial and all those who are unfilial will be beaten out? How come something like this happens?"

"..."

Hearing how sad they were crying, Hu Ma didn't try to dissuade them.

I have never seen a living person come and persuade a ghost when he is crying.

But after listening to them crying sadly, I vaguely understood. No wonder this place is being targeted!

Places that guard some ancient traditions are often protected by the yin virtues of their ancestors. The yin virtues in this village are actually stronger than those in Dayangzhai. Even in Dayangzhai, the ancestors are mostly yin, ignorant and ignorant. Consciousness can only occasionally give people a dream to wake them up, and shake up evil spirits.

The ancestors here could even manifest spirits and invite Mr. Ghost to cure the evil spirits for future generations. Of course, because of this appearance, countless years of evil spirit were wiped out at once.

"It's a flesh evil spirit."

He didn't mind that these people were ghosts. He sighed and said, "There are evil sorcerers who use meat to refine evil spirits. Eating their meat is equivalent to using your body to raise ghosts."

"There are many evil things in the world, none more than cannibalism."

"He planted a flesh evil in your village, and made your entire village as dirty and cruel as a gangster's den. No matter how lucky you are, it can't withstand this torment, and it turned into a evil land."

"..."

Having said this, he sighed lowly and said: "But speaking of it, this village is full of outstanding people. It shouldn't have ended like this, but who let you be targeted?"

For a moment, I silently remembered the purpose of the Five Evils Altar Envoy doing this. This village is obviously blessed. If given the opportunity, it may not be impossible for him to have a good life and bring the whole village to prosperity, and chickens and dogs to heaven.

When he was in Laoyin Mountain earlier, he heard Tiger Mention that the people in this village had the rank of general.

Maybe he was the reckless man named Daniu. If he had joined the army, he might have charged on the battlefield and made great achievements, and could have protected the entire village.

But now it's better, fate has been ruined, moral character has also been ruined, not only can't get out of a good family, but the whole village has become a bad place, worse than any poor mountain and bad water.

If he hadn't come here by himself and allowed this place to continue, I'm afraid he would have raised a nest of man-eating demons within a few days.

"Even the Red Lantern Empress and the Tan'er Cult were not so blatantly harmful..."

Thinking about it carefully, Hu Ma's eyes couldn't help but condense a little: "How dare the Five Evil Gods in this hall to burn incense under their hands dare to do this? They are even familiar with each other, as if they have done it countless times?"

Are they really doing this just to invite the Five Evil Gods to come, or do they have some motives that they can't even guess now?

"That……"

While Hu Ma was thinking about this, the ancestors who were wearing shrouds were all anxious: "Please help me, Mr. Zougui, please use my magical power to help our village get rid of this evil..."

"Don't mention..."

Hu Ma stopped them in a hurry and said: "I am still alive and young. Death is a big deal. I cannot be called your master."

"But we are ghosts. If this happens, there is no reason to ignore it."

"..."

As he said that, he glanced at the wall next to him. Xiao Hongtang was squatting on the wall, looking at this weird village. When he saw Hu Ma's eyes, he realized that he had gone away. Not long after, he was riding on the wall. On the donkey's head, it came swaying.

The donkey led by Hu Ma was just shivering along the way. It had been frightened just now, and its big head got into the firewood pile. It refused to pull it out, and was slapped by Xiao Hongtang before it came. .

Don’t be afraid!

The people in this village are crazy. What if they peel off their skin and stew them in a pot?

There are dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground.

However, after shivering for a long time, I discovered that the people in this village didn't seem to know how to eat, and no one actually cared about me...

"Be brave!"

Hu Ma patted the donkey's head, grabbed a handful of dried meat from his arms, and stuffed it into its mouth. The donkey was scared at first, but became excited by the smell. He rolled his tongue and ate it all.

Then Hu Ma said: "Strengthen your strength and show your voice!"

The donkey didn’t know why he raised his voice like this, but he ate well every day in Zhuangzi, slept soundly, and didn’t do much work. Now he had a snack, so he was indeed full of energy. He raised his neck and said, “Son! "Son!" he cried.

The donkey's bray was already loud and loud, but now in the silent night, the sound suddenly shook the whole place.

The gloomy and strange atmosphere around them was instantly dispersed, and many of the people who were rushing around the village were suddenly startled and seemed to wake up.

Even the old guide in a shroud who was around a moment ago hurriedly covered his ears and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What Hu Ma wanted was their moment of clarity.

The donkey's braying is loud, high-pitched, and full of masculine energy. It can scare even tigers, and naturally it can also drive away evil spirits to a certain extent.

This is also one of the common tricks used by ghost walkers that Hu Ma learned from Aunt Zhang before.

Of course, in fact, if Hu Ma makes the five-thunder golden toad roar now, the effect will be better, but now he is just acting like a ghost, so of course he can't steal the limelight from the donkey.

"My fellow villagers, if your ancestors know that you are so greedy for meat, can they still allow you to kowtow in the ancestral hall in the future?"

Taking advantage of their brief awakening, Hu Ma said loudly, stepped forward, and snatched the large porcelain bowl from one person's hand. In this bowl, there was a red piece that was cut off from somewhere. Meat.

His words just now shocked many people in this crowded village, and they seemed to feel some extremely guilty emotions rising in their hearts.

But this kind of emotion belongs to normal people, but with Hu Ma's action of grabbing meat, many people suddenly became vigilant. There was a fierce light in their eyes, and they looked at him sinisterly:

"Who are you?"

In fact, Hu Ma has been in the village for a long time, but many people have not seen him yet. Now, someone is vaguely approaching him with a sickle in his hand.

Even Xiao Hongtang became vigilant, raised her lanugo hair, and stared at these people.

The donkey was even more frightened. It wanted to hide its big head under its belly. It was deeply annoyed because it brayed too loud just now...

"who I am?"

Hu Ma said loudly: "I am the ancestor of your village. Please ask me to come here to help you get rid of evil spirits and save people!"

The people in the village were confused, as if they didn't understand Hu Ma's words, but they still clenched their sickles and watched him carefully, approaching him little by little.

But at this moment, when everything was quiet and the night wind blew, a sigh suddenly sounded from the ancestral hall at the head of the village. It was so eerie and lonely that everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Uh-huh!"

This sigh of regret made many people's hair stand on end, but they actually came to their senses.

For them at this time, it was as if they were doing something with bad conscience, but they were suddenly caught by their majestic elders. Their heads, affected by the desire to eat meat, suddenly woke up. Many of them looked at each other blankly.

Quite a few people hurriedly dropped the bowls in their hands, knelt down and kowtowed to Hu Ma.

"After all, if you have deep moral character, you can still be saved."

Hu Ma felt slightly relaxed, sighed, and said loudly to these people: "The bad things have been done, and now it is too late to kowtow."

"If you don't want to kill off the incense of a village and cause your children and grandchildren to suffer, then go and prepare a big pot for me immediately, enough dry firewood, and fifty kilograms of oil. Bring it here, and I will help your village pull out this scourge. …”

"..."

The people in the village were in a daze, as if they could vaguely see the figures of their ancestors at the location of the ancestral hall. Seeing them stunned, they raised their crutches and wanted to knock them off on the head.

He hurriedly reacted and rushed to each house, reluctantly, one after another, gathering together what Hu Ma wanted.

Not long after, dry firewood was piled up in the open space outside Daniu's house and a fire was lit.

A large pot, usually used for stripping pig hair, was propped on the fire.

Fifty kilograms of oil was poured in. As the fire burned, it began to bubble.

"First...sir, what are you doing?"

There were people in the village who ate less meat, and because of the scolding from their ancestors, they were suddenly sober. They saw Hu Ma holding up a big bowl and sitting in front of the oil pan. They all asked curiously and fearfully.

Hu Ma only raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and said: "Fried ghost!"
