Twilight Boundary - Chapter 418

Chapter 418 The Missing General Yin

“Master Ma, will you continue to raise me here, or will you go with me to the town for a walk?”

On this day, Hu Ma packed up her gear early in the morning, walked around the valley, and looked at Ma Ye lying in the valley.

Ma Ye turned his big eyes to glance at Hu Ma, then turned away again, not bothering to pay attention to him.

“Then if you don’t go, I will lead the donkey.”

There was nothing he could do about it. Mr. Ma had experienced several near-death encounters in this valley before, and he was in a bad mood. Perhaps his frustration was too serious.

 It was obviously such a dangerous time, and the valley was full of dangers that could kill people at any time, but for such a big thing, I just didn’t encounter it at all. This was simply a worse blow than if someone started a business and failed to achieve anything in thirty years.

He allowed the donkey to rest in the valley, and Hu Ma went to the stable to fetch the donkey.

During this period of time, she did nothing. She just hid in the stable and admired the mares leisurely. Her eyes were wretched, and her body seemed to have gained weight. If she didn’t take him out for a walk, I’m afraid it would be in the mine next year. Just a few more mules.

I took it out and was about to leave the valley when I suddenly saw old Abacus also put on a new set of wrinkled clothes, carrying a tobacco bag in his hand and wearing a black fox fur hat on the head, and followed him out.

Hu Ma then smiled and said, “If you don’t stay at the mine, why are you following me? If something happens, at least there will be someone in the mine to talk to!”

 With the Red Lantern Lady Club, which was known to everyone in Mingzhou as the most harmful group in the past, now it has become a law-abiding group.

“I went to help you check things in, so that you don’t have much experience in the world and get tricked into the religion and have no way of getting out.”

　　　…”

“You are young and dealing with them. If you are fooled into making trouble, won’t it affect our well-behaved red light society?”

 “What can happen?”

“No matter how lax it is, your junior brothers are quite smart in my opinion…”

　　　…”

 “Did you solve that?”

Hu Ma was surprised when he heard this: “That was given to me by Lao Qi from the Sun family…”

After saying that, he waited for the old abacus to go to the stable to bring the horse out. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ma, who had not moved the horse just now, saw the old abacus come out. He slowly climbed up and looked deeply with his big eyes. He looked at the old abacus and looked like he wanted to follow.

“If I hadn’t started this conversation at that time, would their family have given it to me?”

 The key point is that judging from those who are in contact with me now, there seems to be nothing wrong with this statement.

Old Abacus said confidently, “Don’t think of abandoning me this time. I have to follow you. During this period, I have found out the details of the Yiqian Sect. There is a lot of trouble in the Xiling area.” Still waiting.”

 “That’s okay…”

 Lao Abacus suddenly felt a little embarrassed: “I promised it something last time, but it hasn’t been completed yet…”

Hu Ma was surprised: “What’s going on?”

Hu Ma asked curiously: “What’s the matter?”

“The congregants were restless and wanted to rebel.”

The old abacus said: “My old man has settled the matter of money and food. Most of the meat cutters in the mine have also been paid and returned to farming. Now the flesh and blood of Tai Sui in this mine are still withering. Even if they want to be greedy, there is no profit.” .”

 “…Except the one who loves to use forks!”

Hu Ma thought to herself, maybe the world is really going to be in chaos.

Mr. Ma immediately turned his head and glared at Hu Ma with an unkind look. Hu Ma had no choice but to wave his hand and said, “No more questions.”

The two of them, a donkey and a horse, wandered out of the valley. Hu Ma sat on the donkey’s back and walked along the path in the mountain. Mr. Ma followed beside him, and Lao Abacus carried his own small baggage. , followed behind Ma Ye.

After walking for a few miles, Hu Ma couldn’t help but become curious again, and said, “The horses have already followed, why are you walking behind again? Are you still reluctant to ride?”

Old Abacus had a dark face and jogged hard, panting and saying: “Isn’t it because I didn’t get what I promised him last time and I’m unhappy? If I ride on it now, it will throw me down…”

　　　…”

Then if you take this horse with you, it is better not to take it with you…

Hu Ma was a little speechless, but after all, he didn’t understand the grudge between the two of them, so he just rode on his own donkey.

 Lao Abacus hesitated several times, his eyes hinting to Hu Ma to let the donkey out, but Hu Ma just pretended not to see him.

 At any rate, I was just walking slowly. I thought Lao Baanpan was still strong enough to keep up.

This journey took most of the day, and we were all in the mountains. There were continuous hills as far as the eye could see. Occasionally, we saw one or two villages by the streams in the valleys. They were just small villages with a few dozen households. I thought It’s not surprising that they moved in to avoid the disaster outside.

But Lao Abacus, who followed Hu Ma out, seems to be very interested in the people in these mountains. Every time he sees a village, he has to stop and look left and right. Sometimes he has to go to the village to look at the chicken coop. , look at the pig pen and stuff.

Leng Buding was seen by a peasant woman who had a baby in her arms. She was so frightened that she took a rolling pin and looked at her from a distance. She thought it was a chicken thief who ran into the village.

Hu Ma did not follow him in, but only waited outside the village. When he saw him being chased out of the village by a dog again, he smiled and said, “What are you looking for?” “Isn’t it the same General Yin?”

Old Abacus said angrily: “Those from small households don’t have any discernment. I was just saving their lives, but they thought I came into the village to steal chickens…”

While cursing, he put the eggs hidden in his sleeves into his arms.

　　‘This is really a thief who can’t get away with it…’

Hu Ma looked at it, speechless, and said, “Are you worried that General Yin will come to the village to harm people?”

“Didn’t we organize people to look for it before, but couldn’t find any movement at all?”

　　　…”

Such a thing ran out of the mine, and I was very nervous for a while. Zhou Datong and Zhou Liang both led teams to search and patrol near the Blood Food Mine. Later, it was said that Mr. Sun also arranged for people to go into the mountain. I looked for it several times.

Of course, Mr. Sun did not say it was “General Yin”, he only said that a demon corpse ran out. The people in their mine didn’t know what it was, but they just wanted others to be careful.

 But after searching for so long, there was no trace at all. Gradually, everyone became more relaxed and even forgot about this matter.

 “This is what makes people feel uneasy.”

After listening to Hu Ma’s words, Lao Baopan frowned and whispered: “General Yin has not taken shape, but his nature is still there. How ferocious and crazy was he when he first ran out? And it should not be able to escape even after it ran out. How far away is it, how could there be no movement at all?”

There was some doubt in his voice as he said: “The nature of this thing is similar to that of a zombie. Driven by instinct, it eats people and drinks blood. It stands to reason that it cannot hide so tightly.”

　　Seeing that he couldn’t find it earlier, and he had a lot of things on his mind now, Hu Ma didn’t take it too seriously. After hearing the reminder from Lao Baanpan, he frowned slightly and said: “Zombie Hanba has the habit of seeking vengeance and blood debt.”

“This thing was transformed by Zhuang Erchang’s eldest disciple. Will he be attracted to it and harm his family?”

　　　…”

“No.”

 Lao Abacus frowned and said, “I asked before. Zhuang Erchang’s eldest disciple’s surname is Cao. There is only one old woman in the family. She is living well now. I don’t know about the death of her son.”

“Besides, the habit of seeking vengeance and blood debt is formed by the zombie’s own bloodline, but this business is different. It is affected by the evil spirit in Tai Sui’s flesh and blood. This evil spirit overpowers his own blood instinct, and it does not necessarily harm him. Relatives.”

　　　…”

Hearing what he said, Hu Ma also became confused and said with a smile: “Then according to what you said, this matter is getting evil?”

“Is there anything related to Mr. Tai Sui that is not evil?”

Old Abacus also clapped his hands, looked at the mountains and forests, and sighed: “Anyway, looking at it now, it is indeed missing. There are only two possibilities. One is that this thing is more fragile than we thought, and it ran away.” When it came out, it melted, and I don’t know where it died.”

“another kind…”

He shook his head slightly and said, “Tsk, it’s unlikely, but it’s not impossible.”

“If he acquires Taoism in the mineral vein, he will emerge as General Yin. Although he is evil, he is still a good person. But since he has not taken shape, he may have turned into a monster.”

“When a person dies and becomes a spirit, he will also become a dry pile. Just find it and burn it. But not all dry piles are so easy to deal with. The hair on the body becomes more and more powerful. The demon corpse and the evil corpse are not If it turns into bones, it will be a disaster.”

“You are all too big-hearted and ignore everything. I am working hard. I am looking around to prevent it from changing like this.”

　　　…”

Hearing what he said carefully, Hu Madu was shocked: “Wouldn’t it be very powerful if he became that thing?”

 “Hey, the red land is thousands of miles away, and there are no living things left…”

 Lao Abacus chuckled twice and said: “But this matter is still pending. It has been in the mine veins before, and it was supported by Tai Sui’s flesh and blood, so it became such a evil person in a short period of time.”

“Now that I have escaped, it will be difficult to change. If you can’t get Tai Sui’s flesh and blood, you have to eat people and drink their blood. But this doesn’t mean just eating one or two. It’s not an exaggeration to think that there will be corpses floating in the river. The movement is bigger, There’s no reason why you can’t notice it.”

　　　…”

“Then you should pay more attention to it later.”

Hu Ma also nodded and said: “However, if we continue to search, we will have to arrange more manpower. Just relying on you to look around like this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach Shima Town even if it gets dark.”

 “That’s it, that’s it…”

Old Abacus waved his hands: “I just wanted to see if there are any traces of that business in these villages. Now it’s time to go to Mr. Sun’s place for a meal.”

As he spoke, he quickened his pace and continued on his way. The two of them, one horse and one donkey, clattered away along the mountain road. Only the vast mountains behind them were left, with dark forests running through them, and the undulating tree crowns, vaguely like a certain place. The breathing sound of something mysterious.

There were flocks of crows in the forest, circling and flying from time to time. There were lonely graves and barren grass on the roadside, and there were faint shadows looming. It was not until they had walked far that they suddenly rushed to the mountain road from both sides.

They knelt down on the ground, stretched out their long tongues, and licked greedily on the road they walked.
