Twilight Boundary Chapter 504

Chapter 504 It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs

"what is that?"

After waking up, it took Hu Ma a while to slowly dissipate the fire of ignorance rising in her heart. However, the feeling of boredom and trouble and the strange scenes she saw in her dream still lingered in her heart, as if she was attached to it. The ghostly shadow of the dead body.

This feeling is very strange. It's not that I've been harmed by someone, nor is it a malicious curse, or a spell. There's no real harm, it just makes me feel unhappy, and my mood is always ups and downs.

He also realized that this didn't seem to be a good dream, but he didn't know who to ask for interpretation.

And after waking up, what I saw in the dream suddenly faded away. I forgot what I dreamed and heard, but I felt a little depressed.

Let's not think about it for now. He also knows that taking good care of his body is the most important thing now. Now that his whole body is alive, theoretically, even if there is no blood food supplement, he can slowly restore the first three sticks of incense...

…The premise is that you will not take food, get hurt, or fight ghosts, nor will you break your body when you are so weak, or over-consume.

Now that he was in the Blood Food Mine and recuperating carefully, he would naturally not do any of these things that were detrimental to his Taoist conduct. He only thought that within a few days, he would be able to recover the first three pillars of his Taoist conduct, but he did not expect that since then, From the beginning of the day, strange dreams appeared one after another.

Every now and then, he could hear the vague murmur, and the jumping flames and white flags in his dream were always dazzling in front of his eyes.

These few days made him increasingly restless and mentally weak. The first three pillars of Taoism, which should have been successfully restored in three or four days, were actually missing a lot.

Zhao Zhu had a reckless temperament, and he had just strengthened his hands. He couldn't control his strength. When he saw the old abacus secretly moving the chess piece, he grabbed it and broke his arm.

"No hurries?"

I had a very bad premonition in my heart, so I walked out and consulted with Lao Abacus. When I got outside, I saw Lao Abacus playing chess with Zhou Datong. Zhou Datong's left arm was wrapped with cloth and hung around his neck. The abacus's right arm was wrapped in cloth and hung around his neck.

Hu Ma looked a little embarrassed, so she could only smile again and said: "There is nothing we can do, let's talk. Haven't you been thinking about the good tea that the seventh son of the Sun family sent over? I'll make a pot for you to try today!"

"Need not."

Hu Ma was far away, smiling and saying hello to Lao Abacus.

Lao Abacus distanced himself directly from him and refused sternly: "Playing chess with you is the most boring thing. If I win, I don't dare to beat you, if I lose, I can't afford to lose. I will suffer from both inside and outside!"

It is so difficult to recover the first three pillars of Dao Xing, so there is no room to make up for the fourth pillar of Dao Xing. This kind of unexpected fate is inherently more difficult to make up for than the first three pillars of Dao Xing.

As soon as he heard his movement, Lao Baopan's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to scratch the chessboard: "Suddenly I remembered that I have something to do, and I can't play today."

Zhou Datong was stunned: "No, I won right away..."

　　“Do you still need to make me a pot?”

Hu Ma couldn't hold himself any longer. When he saw that the old guy was toasting and refused to eat, he put away his smile and said, "Datong, go back to the inner room and take out my knife."

But of these two people, one has reached the stage of refining his left arm. After cultivating this arm, he has reached the stage of refining the five internal organs.

“Brother, are you having fun?”

Sometimes, when everyone is awake, the white flags are still waving.

Old Abacus looked at Hu Ma with strange eyes: "I have hands and feet, but it's not like I can't steal by myself..."

Hu Ma blocked the path of Lao Abacus and said with a smile: "Brother, there is nothing going on in the mine. I will accompany you to the next game."

The other one regretted playing chess with Zhao Zhu, and was pinched by Zhao Zhu when they were fighting for chess pieces...

In response to this, the old abacus extorted ten taels of silver from him for medical expenses. Zhao Zhu was so angry that he stopped playing chess and only focused on practicing fork skills.

“It's dark and windy tonight, so it's a good time to practice swordsmanship.”

Zhou Datong was heartbroken about the two taels of silver he had won away from the old abacus. Seeing that the old abacus was defeated, he laughed and jumped up: "I'll go right away."

Lao Abacus suddenly softened and said awkwardly: "Look, the thing about raising the knife again..."

“…How about we sit down and talk for a while?”

“I thought so too.”

Hu Ma smiled, sat down with him, and said, "Brother, you have traveled extensively and experienced a lot. Do you know how to interpret dreams?"

Old Abacus was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of dream interpretation?"

Hu Ma was also a little surprised and said, "Are there any different ways to interpret dreams?"

"of course!"

The old abacus said: "One kind of dream interpretation is from the world of martial arts. I used to interpret it when I told people's fortunes. Anyway, if the other party is willing to give money, I will say the best. If he dreams of a dead person, I have to say that he will be lucky. Coffin to make a fortune.”

“If the other party is not willing to give money, then he dreams of lying naked on the bed with his wife. I think this means that he is powerless and almost breathless..."

“…In short, I make a living, not shabby, but I have a sharp tongue.”

Hu Ma was a little speechless by his frankness, and then said: "So, what kind of real dream interpretation? Through dreams, you can understand what happened?"

Old Abacus said: "That won't happen." "?"

Hu Ma couldn't help but gnashed her teeth and Hanako asked, “Are all those who travel in the world so thick-skinned?”

“I thought you were going to ask about that friend of yours again…”

Old Abacus rolled his eyes at Hu Ma first, and then showed a slight expression of interest. His old face was full of curiosity: "I'll leave aside the incomprehensible things. What dream do you want to ask me about?"

“Very weird…”

Hu Ma said slowly: "As soon as you close your eyes, you will dream of a group of people taking white banners and chanting incantations, as if they are summoning spirits..."

“That can't be…”

Lao Abacus said: "Your fate is so important, who in this world can move you..."

“It's really not like calling a ghost, it doesn't stick to my past intentions, and it doesn't harm me like a nightmare spell. I didn't even hear my name. It was just a group of people casting spells there and shouting some strange words..."

Hu Ma also frowned and slowly told the story. It was indeed the first time for him to encounter this kind of problem, and it was difficult to analyze it clearly.

However, as he told it, Lao Abacus's face changed slightly. He took a deep look at Hu Ma and whispered: "I don't know how to interpret dreams, but what you are encountering now may not be a dream. Maybe someone is actually calling you with a banner..."

“But I don't care about this!”

He stood up from the table next to him, shook his head, and sighed: "No one can take care of it. It's hard for an upright official to take care of household affairs..."

“Is it difficult for an upright official to take care of household affairs?”

Hu Ma was slightly startled by what he said, and her brows furrowed tightly. The shadow of the white banner, the strange fire, and the strange smile of the old abacus seemed to flash in her heart. It matches what Mr. Meng said.

I was stunned for a while, maybe because I was in a state of confusion and my reaction was slow, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

It was already getting dark, and when it was time to turn on the lamp and eat, Hu Ma hadn't thought about it yet, but she didn't want to do it, when a gloomy wind blew into the valley.

From this wind, he actually vaguely heard the sound of suona gongs and drums, and the sound of blowing and beating. As the dark wind came closer and closer, he looked up in a daze and saw a procession of people in festive clothes outside the valley. Came over.

The team was surrounded by jumping little ghosts in front and behind, and they came to a stop in front of the valley.

"Eh?"

The guys in the valley, those who were cooking and washing clothes, all stuck their heads out to look at it and thought it was very fresh.

Hu Ma also frowned. Normally, this blood food mine would easily attract evil spirits, but now it does so again?

It happened that Zhou Datong was excitedly holding the knife over to him, so he picked up the knife and walked out of the valley, facing the empty and blurry ghosts there without any fear.

However, as he got closer, he felt the existence of the sword that punished officials. Although it was in the sheath, it slightly released a ray of energy, which suddenly made ghosts and wolves howl outside.

Those little devils couldn't care less about the sedan chair. They threw away the gongs and drums and dispersed with a bang. The wedding sedan chairs were all thrown on the spot.

Hu Ma was about to go over and pick out the curtain with a knife to see which kid was so blind and causing trouble in the mine.

But it didn't matter. Before he even touched the curtain, a cry came from the sedan: "I have never seen such rude people..."

“Uncle Huma, who is Uncle Huma? Come and make decisions for the slave family...”

Hu Ma was stunned. He took back his knife and said, "I am Hu Ma. What did you say?"

Inside the sedan, the bride cried: "I was married from Laoyin Mountain, just because a tiger master asked me to go here to deliver a message to a flax uncle. He just said that someone from the mountain over there is coming. There are a few uninvited guests, please go back and take care of them.”

“I'm thinking of my neighbors, and I'm not afraid of missing an auspicious moment and coming here to deliver this message. Instead of thanking me, you're so cruel that you draw your sword at the slightest disagreement.”

“If you scare away my servant, is it possible for me to run over and get married on my own two legs?”

"ah?"

Hu Ma heard that she mentioned Mr. Tiger and knew that she had misunderstood.

Seeing people crying and expressing sadness, I hurriedly glared at the official sword to make it take away its evil spirit...

…You are a punishment official, how can you be so cruel to ordinary people?

Then he bowed hurriedly and said, "It's true that I was reckless. Hu thanked the bride for sending the message."

“Don't worry, I also know how to deal with ghosts. I'll just call those little ghosts back for you.”

With that said, he set up a simple altar, burned incense, and made offerings. He forcefully recruited the little ghosts who had scared away and ordered them to lift the sedan and send the bride there on time.

It wasted a good time, and everyone's legs were broken.

This made the bride feel better, and asked Hu Ma if she wanted to go over to have a wedding banquet. Hu Ma didn't go, but gave her a share of the money.

After sending off the bride, Hu Ma returned to the valley. After receiving the letter from the tiger, her mind, which was still confused just now, and the doubts in her heart became clear.

When he came back, he said to Zhou Datong and others: "It seems that I have to prepare to go back to Mingzhou."
