Twilight Boundary

‘West Kunlun? ’

Hu Ma's heart moved. He had already entered the mansion and was not easily confused. Now he had cultivated the Dharma form and his soul was strong. He was just like a guest in the hall. Even if he didn't pay attention for a moment, he had already reacted with a slight change of mind.

But he knew there was something wrong, but he didn't point it out immediately. He just looked at him and said with a smile: "The name of my hometown is nice, but it doesn't sound like it's close..."

"Not far, not far..."

When the white-bearded old man heard this, he immediately waved his hand with a smile and said: "On the mountain behind, on the hill where large red jujubes grow, there is a dried pond. They grow there. Later, he was brought to the house by my young master."

"Back then, the young master was naughty and chose random names. The mountain in the west was called Xikuncang, the bare Donghua Mountain in the east, the pond in the south was called Yaochi, and the pavilion on the top of the mountain in the north was all named after Where is Lingxiao Palace..."

"We don't know what it is, but it sounds pretty good."

"I also watched my young master grow up from a young age, until he committed a crime later, which affected the whole family and everyone was cursed to death. However, no one cared about me, so I survived."

"Later, the town became desolate, but some of the young master's friends and disciples came here a few times, and gave some rags and broken bits to me for safekeeping. Later, it was this group of people who exchanged tung slabs for blessings. Ze's came over and moved into this house."

"I don't know why, but in the past year or two, the town has become lively again. I look at them and feel happy. It seems that the place has become lively, and the young master will come back again... "

"..."

After listening to the words of the old man with the white beard, Hu Ma understood something in her heart. She took a deep look at the old man with the white beard and saw that his face was also blurred and he was looking at her with a smile.

There seemed to be a bit of closeness and a very familiar feeling in those eyes, which made my heart skip a beat.

"The old man has always lived here?"

He shook his head calmly, throwing away this unfamiliar feeling of familiarity. He just looked at the old man, slowly pondered, and said, "Then you should know this Shima Town very well, right?"

The old man with a white beard smiled and said: "If you talk about understanding, I know it best. There have been several generations of people in this town, but I am the only one who has always been here to guard you."

Hu Ma's heart moved slightly, and she looked at him and said, "So, have you ever heard of the legend about the stone horse in this town?"

"Stone horse?"

The old man with a white beard also looked at Hu Ma with a smile and said: "It's just a mud tire, what kind of legend does it have?"

"Of course it's the old general who resigned and returned home, riding a horse to kill plague ghosts..."

Hu Ma looked at him and slowly told the legend he heard from the old abacus, and said: "Now that the old general has returned, he can't even find his grave, but this stone horse still guards this town. Isn’t it?”

"Is there some way to wake up this stone horse again, and it will even continue to follow the old general, kill the plague ghosts, and benefit the people?"

"..."

"You're talking about this..."

Facing Hu Ma's serious inquiry, the white-bearded old man laughed, waved his hand, and said: "This was originally made up by the naughty young master back then..."

"I remember clearly that there were no old generals or horses to kill plague ghosts. These stone horses were originally built to guard the tomb of a wealthy gentleman in the town when he was relocating. They were a pair at first. But then the other one broke."

"The person who carved this stone horse is also a rural craftsman. He is not a master craftsman. How can there be any magic in it?"

"..."

"Um?"

After Hu Ma heard this, she was suddenly a little surprised. As a result, things were indeed a little different from what she had thought before.

If it is just a clay sculpture, how can it be awakened?

Dahongpao was so anxious at the time and wanted to leave this news to himself. Could it be that he was confused and didn't really understand the matter, or that he didn't make it clear?

Hesitating in his heart, he looked at the old man with a white beard and said, "But why did I hear people say that this stone horse can be awakened?"

"Then I can only ask the young master. He made up these words in the first place. My young master has been clever and smart since he was a child. When he was young, he would say things that people didn't understand, but they made sense afterwards. "

The old man with a white beard said with a smile: "Just like at that time, there was a plague ghost in this town and in the mountains next to it, which caused disasters. But the young master made up this story, so everyone went to worship the stone horse. Unexpectedly It’s true that apart from the plague, the people are at peace.”

"Later, people in this town have died twice, but I don't know why, but the saying of worshiping the stone horse has remained. As long as there are people in the town, there will be people who will burn incense."

"..."

The old man's voice was a little garrulous, which made it difficult to tell the truth from the lie.

Hu Ma just listened silently and asked him slowly: "So, what did you say someone asked you to keep before? Who gave it to you?"

"It's just some old things used by the young master."

The old man with a white beard said: "After the young master committed a crime, the whole family died, and everyone in the town fled. However, two or three years later, some of the young master's friends came here to pay homage to him, leaving behind those few Something old.”

"Afterwards, people came one after another, and some of them kowtowed to me, as if they wanted to beg for these old things, but I can't make the decision!"

"This belongs to the young master. Of course, the young master can only take it away. How can I give it to anyone casually?"

"..."

Hu Ma frowned and looked straight at his face, only to find that she couldn't see clearly, but the feeling of familiarity was getting stronger and stronger, and there was an inexplicable depression in her heart. She exhaled slowly and said in a deep voice: "Then you What if the young master can’t come back?”

"I'll be back..."

The old man with a white beard said with a smile: "The people who sent the young master's things back said that the young master will definitely come back, because the world will become lighter and lighter, and those people will always realize his importance."

""People need him. "

"It's just that he also said that he hopes that the young master will not come back too late, otherwise, there will be nothing he can do if he comes back..."

"..."

"Will the world become lighter and lighter?"

The inexplicable words made Hu Ma's heart suddenly tighten: "What does this mean?"

The old man with the white beard smiled and shook his head, saying: "I'm just a janitor, so I don't know these things anymore, but I think the young master will definitely understand when he comes back..."

Looking at Hu Ma, he seemed to want to ask again, but he waved his hand and suddenly said: "I would like to say more, but there are guests coming to this town. The young master is not here now. Can you please help me take care of him?" "

"..."

"guest?"

Looking at the smiling old man, Hu Ma seemed to see many familiar things on his face. She calmed down slightly, but before she could answer, she felt the cool breeze blowing on her face, and she woke up.

Slightly surprised, he saw that the door in front of him had not been opened. The old man with the white beard and so on just now were just an illusion. He was moved, stood up, opened the door, and saw Outside there is a big tree that blocks out the sky and the sun.

The treetops were trembling in the wind, and the few things hanging on the top of the treetops were also rising and falling, as if they were about to fall.

"There is falsehood among truth, and truth among falsehood."

Hu Ma looked at the big tree intently for a long time before sighing and saying: "The Yiqian Sect seems to be a trick sect, but even within the trick sect, there are nine falsehoods and one truth..."

"You gave me this mighty God's General Seal from the very beginning. Could it be that you were waiting for me from then on?"

"And the guests..."

"..."

"..."

"Leader, ah no...Uncle Master, Uncle Master..."

I was standing under the old elm tree, thinking quietly, but suddenly I heard a burst of joy and shouting from outside. I turned around and saw the Miaoshan Fairy Girl coming again. The expression on her face was both a little surprised and a little confused. Some excitement.

Hu Ma frowned: "What?"

When he saw this, Immortal Miaoshan immediately seemed more honest, but she still couldn't restrain her excitement and said: "Here we come, I didn't expect so many people to come..."

"Um?"

Hu Ma was also slightly surprised. He followed her out of the house and went up to a high ground. When she looked out, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She saw that the sun had risen long ago, shining brightly all around.

On the mountain road leading to this town, I don’t know when there were many groups of people. Some of them were in ragged clothes, some were pushing carts, some were leading skinny donkeys, carrying children and girls, carrying the elderly and the weak on their backs. , from a distance, it looks like a swarm of ants, heading towards the town.

There were already a lot of people in Shima Town, but now it looks even more bustling and crowded. The number of people seems to have suddenly increased ten times, not to mention that there are more people who are constantly pouring in. Come to this town.

Hu Ma also changed his expression immediately, and said in surprise: "Isn't the road outside already closed?"

"yes!"

Immortal Miaoshan said hurriedly: "No one can go out, but I didn't expect that it would be okay to come in. We have already publicized the lantern blessing party we held before. Now that there are powerful enemies outside, we originally planned to keep a low profile." ”

"But because the news inside couldn't get out, the people outside didn't know, so they came here just in time for this day."

"What we didn't expect is that people from hundreds of miles around came here. Just looking at it now, this lantern festival is ten times more lively than we imagined."

"..."

"We have made an appointment for three days, and the lobby officials from outside are about to come in. With their ability, it is not difficult to disperse the people who want to come in, so why do they have to let them in?"

Even Hu Ma felt a little surprised. He concentrated for a long time and looked at the vast crowds of people around him. He exhaled in a low voice and said: "Let me go out and take a look. Whatever you want to arrange, I will arrange it myself..." "

"Yes, yes, the matter of the guardian spirit on the altar..."

"...wait!"
