Chapter 748 Cai Renge
“In the past, our ancestors would indeed pretend to be confused, but this is the first time that we have spoken so truthfully…”
Faced with Hu Ma's eyes that didn't seem to care much, Lao Baanpan even became a little anxious and said in a deep voice: "Besides, even if you don't read this hexagram, you know that those monsters will definitely not let you go."
"Actually, even if Master didn't tell me in detail, I could still detect something. It was Master and the people in the Hu family who caused those monsters to suffer a big loss twenty years ago."
“Now, the evil spirits are on the bridge and showing up again, and the heaven and earth are unstable.”
“Since Master has agreed to show up in Shangjing, you are also going to Shangjing. Think about it and you will know that the Imperial Master will join forces with the Hu family again. How can those evil spirits be able to sit still?”
"The principle of traveling in the world is to avoid enmity. If you do have an enmity, you should find out the opponent's background clearly before taking action. Those evil spirits are even more ruthless. If they want to take action, they will not only find out the details, but also find out the details for eighteen generations of ancestors."
“Don't you know how the old man of the Yan family in Guazhou died?”
"They have come here twice to trouble you. I think they are all temptations. This third time, I am afraid they are going to get serious."
Hu Ma could see that now was the worst time for her relationship with the Daluo Sect, but as a disciple of the Daluo Sect, this old abacus was the most honest with herself.
Knowing that what he said was true, he just smiled and said, "I'm going."
“I used to listen too much to others' advice. Looking back on the past three years, I didn't take many steps on my own.”
“Now the only way to go to Shangjing is the one I should take.”
When thinking about this, I couldn't help but think of the bardo. When my fingers touched the old book in the hand of the monster with eyes, I heard a sudden message in my heart and narrowed my eyes slightly.
Lao Abacus stopped talking: "Are you still thinking of taking this opportunity to break the barrier of life and death and practice Taoism?"
Hu Ma glanced at him and said with a smile, "Isn't it just right?"
“Just a big-headed ghost!”
Lao Abacus whispered: "It is extremely difficult for a person to pass the test of life and death once. You have passed it twice in just a few days?"
“What about playing house?”
"Entering the realm of life and death to practice Taoism is to compete with heaven and earth for one's life. But everything has a certain destiny. Repeat it over and over again. You have already taken advantage of it twice. Do you want to enter the bardo a third time and regain another destiny?"
Hearing what he said, Hu Ma actually thought that the monster would be very angry when it appeared in the bardo for the second time.
You have to be prepared. Will it already be on guard when you go in for the third time?
Looked at Lao Baanpan seriously: "Then what do you think will happen?"
"have no idea."
The old abacus shook his head and said: "That's not what a person like me, who has a light life and a low life, should consider. I only know that if you go forward, those monsters will probably give you a powerful one, and they won't let you do it again. There is a chance to turn around.”
“Besides, if you want to break through the life-and-death barrier again, big trouble will definitely happen. The dark things have their own plans, and you may not be able to come back.”
Facing his serious warning, Hu Ma was slightly silent. Just when Lao Baanpan thought he had finally listened to his advice, Hu Ma suddenly looked at him and whispered: "The number of life-saving numbers, can you only win one pillar at a time? "
“Ah this…”
To Lao Baanpan, this question was clearly out of line. He said blankly: "This is not a question of how much to seize at one time. In theory, it should be impossible to seize it..."
Hu Ma thought about the strange information that flashed through her mind when she came into contact with the book of life and death, and slowly said: "It's just that I really need a better opportunity..."
“Only capturing one pillar at a time is indeed a bit disrespectful to that thing...”
After pondering for a few words, Hu Ma excused himself that it was late and went back to the car to rest.
The next day, he didn't mention turning around and going back. Although Lao Abacus was worried, it was hard to say anything.
The group of people continued on the road in silence, but there was something different. Yesterday, Miss Zhou helped Fairy Miaoshan catch the disaster, and afterwards, Fairy Miaoshan also gave Miss Thursday a pair of her new shoes.
The two of them had reconciled their relationship and sat in a car again. The **** Thursday said, "You are actually a very nice person."
“How fresh is it?”
Xiangu Miaoshan rolled her eyes and said: "Every day you scold us as monsters in the world, so are we really just hurting God and not doing justice?"
“Do you know why we call it the non-eating cow?”
“Our leader said it well, the common people are like oxen and horses, they travel around the world, they can carry people, they can also overwhelm people, they must be inedible, but they really don't dare to eat…”
After listening to this, Miss Zhou felt that she understood at first and nodded. Then she was suddenly startled and thought deeply for a while.
It is certain that these are some new principles, different from what was taught at home, but this principle is so great that it can overwhelm all thoughts.
When he spoke again after a long time, he already had a look of wonder on his face: "Is this... what he can say?"
“Of course!”
Immortal Miaoshan became interested, sat upright and said: "Sister, you don't understand, our leader is familiar with three volumes of heavenly books and is full of compassionate principles. When we were in Shima Town..."
This opened up the conversation, and he spoke freely, telling all his admiration for Hu Ma.
Wise and powerful, with astonishing knowledge and extreme distortion.
It happened that Fairy Miaoshan was too serious when she spoke, and Miss Zhou was too absorbed in listening. She gradually became leisurely and fascinated, and her face was filled with a look of admiration before she knew it. On the other hand, Xiao Douguan, who was following him, clenched his fists in anxiety: "My Aunt Miaoshan, do you know what you are doing..."
"When the doctor left, he did leave a message, saying that the one who comes back next time will be their senior..."
"Who could it be? The previous generation still stayed in this world and used tea as a code name?"
“Or maybe…”
“…Tieguanyin?”
As they gradually went north, Hu Ma and others inquired about the route and found out that they had already walked most of the way. This road was mostly war-torn and rarely populated, but if they went further and passed a pass, they would be able to see the capital city in the distance. .
It's just that somehow, the closer you get to Shangjing, the harder it becomes to get food. Most of the guys who are responsible for exploring the road and buying food from all over have recently returned empty-handed.
Thanks to the fact that half of the food in the car was left, this group of people would not be without rice to cook.
And that night, several of the explorers did not return for a long time. It was not until midnight that there was the sound of horse hooves. The resting people rushed to meet them, and saw that their pockets were empty, but they had brought a pair of ragged horses with them. Grandfather and grandson are coming.
The old man threw himself on the carriage and waved his hands vigorously: "I don't want to go forward, I don't want to go forward."
“The food-foraging team in Niuxin City is out, so don't run into it…”
“Looking for food army?”
Because Mingzhou also has a food security army, just one word difference, Hu Ma also became interested and listened carefully.
After careful questioning, I found out that there were three groups of Caotou Kings ahead, besieging Niuxin City for half a month. I don't know how many people died. There was a lack of food inside and outside the city, and they were so hungry that they didn't know why.
The old abacus next to the car saw the little girl who was following the old man looking eagerly at the fire, so he gave her a bowl of the porridge left in the pot for the spy, and then asked someone to start another stove to cook another half of the pot.
He asked curiously: "Old man, they are short of food, so you want to run away? I see you don't have any money with you, how can you find food?"
“We have come all this way, but it's not easy to buy food within a few hundred miles.”
“Why are you looking for something to eat? This is someone who has escaped and just wants a way to survive...”
The old man shed tears when he saw that his granddaughter had food: "If I don't leave, I might become their food."
"The food-seeking troops in the city and outside the city are all going crazy with hunger. There are two roads, Yin and Yang. People on the Yin Road dig graves, take the burial utensils of the dead, exchange them for gold and silver, and buy food everywhere. On the way to Ming Dynasty, he caught people everywhere, bled them, dried them and ate them!"
“We are not running away from famine, we are running away for our lives…”
Everyone, especially Miss Zhou, suddenly changed their faces when they heard this: "Are you actually going to eat people?"
“Is it possible that there is another army of hungry ghosts?”
Hu Ma was also moved in her heart, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the old abacus's expression as black as an abacus, and she understood.
This is not that another army of hungry ghosts has appeared. Instead, I am afraid that the world is full of hungry ghost armies.
They gave the two of them a full meal and gave them some rice. They watched them helping each other and heading south. Everyone was speechless for a while. Once upon a time, dusk was the boundary, and the saying of yin and yang was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
No one dares to travel at night if they don't have the skills.
But the grandfather and grandson couldn't care less. They just wanted to get further away from the battlefield. It seemed that no matter what ghosts they encountered at night, they were not as scary as the food team.
“Since there is a town ahead, let's not sleep in the wilderness. Let's go!”
Everyone packed up their bags, got on the carriage, and continued to move forward, but the atmosphere suddenly became much silent.
Walking in the night, it was shockingly silent, the sky was gloomy, and there was no moon.
Behind the weeds on the roadside, a quiet wind blew by, rustling and chilling, and suddenly there was a sharp and resentful voice, shrill and hoarse, singing:
“It is better for the couple to go to the vegetable market if they both starve to death every year.”
“If you get three thousand pieces of money, you can travel one mile with one piece of gold.”
“The texture of hibiscus makes it fragrant when cooked, and the milk is used as ravioli and people are eager to taste it.”
“The two arms are first cut off and hung in the butcher's shop, and then the thighs are cut off and held to make soup.”
“If you don't order fresh meat, you will be hungry.”
“The meat of men is too fishy to be eaten, and the fat of women's skin is condensed and there is less sweat.”
“After three days, my body has been exhausted and only one soul remains. I ask my husband where I can go, where the sun is setting and the sun is fading.”
"A woman who is born a good cook can make her husband live a long life."
“A few people were buried alive with their stomach full, but luckily the black kite didn't peck them early.”
The voice was so horrifying that everyone present had their backs slightly straightened, their hair was numb, and they were covered in cold sweat.
Hu Ma got out of the car, walked across the grass with Miss Zhou, and looked towards the place where the song came from, but he only saw a woman covered in blood, with pieces of flesh missing from her body, revealing horrific wounds. Holding a pipa, singing softly.
After the song was finished, she sighed deeply, a breeze blew, and then she disappeared completely.
All that was left were a few broken bones.
