MTL - Twilight Boundary

Chapter 10 Become a Master

 Blood Tai Sui…

What I have been eating for so long is actually the blood Tai Sui that the man mentioned?

Shouldn’t this thing be so rare that ordinary people don’t even have to think about it? Have you been eating this whole time?

 Is this village too rich, or is my mother-in-law actually an invisible old rich woman?

 I also became very curious about this extremely precious blood Tai Sui.

 What's the use of eating it?

 You don’t feel any changes in your body at all?

 …But the injury healed faster than usual.

However, although she was shocked in her heart, Hu Ma could only hold back the shocked expression on her face. Theoretically, she was still in a state of being incapable of remembering things, so she should not know the preciousness of the Blood Tai Sui.

Just lowered his head, tried hard to control his slightly trembling hands, and helped his mother-in-law wrap up the bundle. Along with the two roosters beside him, hemp ropes were tied to his legs to carry them.

He said "Oh" nonchalantly, then angrily changed the subject and said, "Mother-in-law, where are we going to pack these things?"

 “I’ll take you out to become a master and learn some skills.”

The mother-in-law did not look at Hu Ma and said slowly: "The ancestors in the village don't recognize you, so we will think of some other way to help you avoid evil spirits."

 “Learn skills?”

Hu Ma then realized that her mother-in-law had prepared these things as a ceremony to become a master.

 He was also busy taking advantage of this opportunity to divert his attention.

 Don't think too much about Xue Taisui, for fear that the shocked look on your face will be seen by your mother-in-law.

After returning from Laohuotangzi in failure and rejecting the shady marriage, my mother-in-law has been worried about her condition. In addition to using Tai Sui meat every day... or the best blood Tai Sui... to help herself stabilize her condition, she seems to have been unable to Thinking of other ways.

So, the master she is taking herself to worship now must be the third method she thought of.

 But what kind of master is she taking herself to worship?

 As for ability, in this weird world, she seems to be very capable.

 Is there anyone here who is more powerful than her?

 But even though he had many doubts in his heart, he didn't ask a single question.

He had already summed up for himself a set of rules for survival in this world and around his mother-in-law, which was to ask less, inquire less, read more and ponder more when something happened. After all, he couldn't make it in this world now, so what else could he do? The choice?

I could only act obediently, changed my clothes, supported my mother-in-law, and walked out one step at a time.

Looking at this direction, it turns out that we are not entering the village, but walking towards the outside of the village step by step.

 “Not from the village?”

When they arrived at the edge of the village, Hu Ma was also slightly surprised.

 She really wants to take herself out of the village?

Having been awake for so long, Hu Ma has also learned that there are many more evil spirits outside the village than inside.

Now, this is the first time he has left the village since he came to this world.

Looking at those towering giant trees from a distance and the profound scenery, my heart trembled for a moment.

I don’t know how many evil spirits like upright sheep and white-faced monkeys are hiding in this deep forest...

 But then I thought about it, with my mother-in-law and Xiao Hongtang beside me, should she be fine?

Out of the village, you can see a path that has been trampled by people, leading to a tall forest full of weeds.

The surroundings were so quiet, it was as if the chirping of birds could not be heard.

 The woods are too deep and dense.

I don’t know what this world has been through, but the deep mountains now have a suffocating lushness.

It was obviously noon, but the forest was dark and depressing.

 There is thick grass under the feet, covering a path that has been walked by countless people, making it almost invisible.

The fine and winding branches on both sides are intertwined and intertwined. When passing by, they seem to be alive, always stretching out silently, quietly climbing up to one's shoulders and wrapping around one's legs.

 But when he turned around and looked around, he saw nothing unusual on both sides.

He could only suppress the faint uneasiness in his heart, followed his mother-in-law closely, and went deeper into the forest little by little.

 As we go deeper into the forest, the surrounding trees seem to be getting denser and denser.

 Branches and vines were intertwined in front of them, making them feel as if they were walking into a bush of thorns.

 In the depths of the dense forest, there always seemed to be some eyes peering at me.

 “Stop first.”

At this moment, the mother-in-law who was walking in front suddenly stopped and said silently.

Huma immediately stood still, holding her breath.

As soon as I glanced at both sides of my eyes, I suddenly felt horrified. I found that the place where I was was unknowingly filled with scattered branches. They were so dense that they almost wrapped around me and the body of my mother-in-law in front of me. .

 But looking forward or backward, I found that the path that had been trampled by people was as clear as ever, and there were no such dense branches.

 “Are these branches alive?”

Huma felt chilled in her heart for a moment. They entangled herself and her mother-in-law, and unknowingly they became more and more tightly entangled. What did they want to do?

"This is my little grandson. Everyone, recognize him. Don't flood the Dragon King Temple in the future."

While thinking about it, the mother-in-law suddenly spoke in a cold voice, and then slammed the crutch in her hand to the ground.

There was a "crash" sound, and suddenly a gust of wind blew past.

The thin branches entangled around Hu Ma and her mother-in-law seemed to have been cut by an invisible sickle and fell to the ground.

There was a faint sound like something was hurting, with a kind of miserable moan. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after this gust of wind, the surrounding branches swayed, as if they were afraid, and they stepped aside one after another.

 In front of Hu Ma and her mother-in-law, the road was obviously much wider.

"Amazing…"

Felum causes temporary numbness in the scalp.

I don’t know if I am amazed by the majesty of my mother-in-law’s cane, or I am frightened by the fact that this forest seems to be really alive.

I had heard that there were dangers outside the village before, but I didn’t know there were so many dangers.

 Fortunately, I didn't really escape from the village, and fortunately this time, I followed my mother-in-law.

In such a world, Hu Ma's rationality in his previous life and his world view of not believing in ghosts and gods were gone. He did not dare to speak loudly, so he could only silently follow his mother-in-law, walking all the way into the deep mountain forest, being cautious and not daring to touch to anything.

This world awed him, especially since even his mother-in-law seemed to be very careful.

In addition to the branches and trees that exude an evil nature, the forest is filled with all kinds of weird things.

There was a small puddle that looked nothing weird on the surface. When it appeared in front of the path, my mother-in-law frowned and led Huma around. As a result, she didn't go far and saw this puddle again. The small puddle is exactly the same as before.

 After another detour, this small puddle turned out to be extremely stubborn and appeared again.

The mother-in-law sighed helplessly and asked Hu Ma to hand over the live chicken he was carrying.

 Hit his nails on the chicken's neck and cut its throat.

　　Throwing it into the puddle, Hu Ma turned around and didn't look at what was happening in the puddle.

 Not long after, there was a weird chewing sound behind him.

 A few minutes later, the mother-in-law said: "Turn around!"

Hu Ma turned around and saw that the small puddle had disappeared, and they continued to move forward on the smooth road.

Another example is when passing by a broken wooden pile that seemed to have been struck by lightning, the mother-in-law also stopped.

She asked Hu Ma to bow to the wooden stake, then walked fifteen steps and waited for her in front.

She herself stayed behind, muttering as if communicating with the wooden pile.

 “Are there so many evil things?”

 Hu Ma found it difficult to understand these strange phenomena. It was vaguely scary, but also brought a little bit of freshness.

He couldn't help but ask Xiao Hongtang next to him: "How do the people in our village dare to come out?"

Xiao Hongtang seemed to be very careful when she entered the forest and didn't talk much.

Hearing Hu Ma ask, she stuck out her little head from behind the nearby tree and said, "You won't see so many of them when you go out. They are full of yang energy and carry the ashes from the pond."

 “Brother Hu Ma is more fragrant, different from others.”

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Hu Ma couldn't help but tremble in her heart, and couldn't help but said: "My mother-in-law is so capable, can't she drive them away?"

 “My mother-in-law is a ghost.”

Xiao Hongtang said: "Ghost walkers generally don't chase away evil spirits, they only attract evil spirits."

 “A ghost?”

Hu Ma thought silently: "Is this an identity, or is it the name of a certain skill?"

Not far away, he saw his mother-in-law still chatting with the tree stump struck by lightning, so he took the opportunity to ask:

“Do you know which master my mother-in-law is taking me to worship?”

　　　…”

 “Leave the woods and walk south...”

Xiao Hongtang thought and said, "Then the mother-in-law must have taken Brother Hu Ma to find the second master!"

Hu Ma was slightly moved. If the "Second Master" lived outside the village, he should be quite capable.

He asked curiously: "Which one is more capable, this second master or my mother-in-law?"

"have no idea."

Xiao Hongtang said honestly: "Xiao Hongtang is close to her mother-in-law, but she is afraid of the second master."

“Xiao Hongtang helped her mother-in-law deliver something to the second master, but Xiao Hongtang didn’t dare to enter the house, so she threw it at the door and ran away.”

　　　…”

Hu Ma thought silently: "It seems that Xiao Hongtang has some ability to make Xiao Hongtang so scared..."

I was suddenly startled. My mother-in-law didn't see my problem. Then, would someone with a more serious problem see it?

 “Let’s go!”

At this time, the mother-in-law finally came back, looked ahead and said: "We met an acquaintance, catching up with old times, let's hurry up!"

 “One more stick of incense and the time has come.”
