MTL - Twilight Boundary

Chapter 35 Three pillars of life

The second master endured his grief and went out of the cave first.

He just thought that this was his mother-in-law's last words, and it was not convenient for him to listen here.

And Xiao Hongtang also obediently went to the entrance of the cave and stood guard there. She was also very worried at first, but after seeing her mother-in-law, she felt relieved, but she didn't understand other things and didn't think her mother-in-law was at this time. There's something wrong with the status.

 Perhaps in her perception, her mother-in-law at this time was actually getting closer to her.

Huma, on the other hand, held her mother-in-law's already weak palm, silent and speechless.

 He could feel the old man's closeness to him, and he was glad that he had not made another choice just now.

 Just feeling the weakness of my mother-in-law, some inexplicable emotions surged in my heart.

 “Son, my mother-in-law is leaving.”

Mother-in-law looked at Hu Ma tenderly, but as soon as she spoke, Hu Ma's heart trembled slightly and she raised her head in disbelief.

"You do not have to worry about."

The mother-in-law noticed the worry that flashed across Hu Ma's face, and saw that it was true, she felt even more relieved, and smiled softly: "I don't really want to leave you alone, I just have to go back to the ancestral temple, so I'll go there in advance. The road is paved.”

"The Meng family failed this time and failed to wipe out our descendants, but they went too far and affected many people. If I don't go back, I'm afraid they will do something even more outrageous."

“But you don’t have to tell outsiders, not even Mr. Qi, they don’t understand...”

　　　…”

Looking at her mother-in-law's gentle eyes, Hu Ma felt a little relieved, and vaguely felt that what her mother-in-law said seemed to involve something powerful.

 With my current knowledge, I still don’t understand this.

 “What a pity…”

The mother-in-law sighed and said softly: "I will suffer a lot from you when I go back."

“My grandson, your mother-in-law will leave you to live alone in Laoyin Mountain until your problems are solved.”

　　　…”

 You can hear the embarrassment and reluctance in her words, as well as the strong self-blame.

Hearing this, Hu Ma also felt a little moved in her heart. This time she came to see her mother-in-law. He originally wanted to find out what was wrong with him.

Is it possible that I really want to keep eating blood like this and die in Tai Sui?

“You, you were hurt too much by the Meng family...”

The mother-in-law saw his thoughts and sighed slowly: "Or, really, he is dead..."

　　When it comes to the word "death", she is obviously somewhat resistant. It seems that she still cannot admit this fact until now.

He paused for a moment before continuing: "But our Hu family, including your father and your mother, we have done nothing wrong. Why should we be killed and exterminated?"

"So I don't believe it, mother-in-law. No matter what, mother-in-law must save you..."

　　　…”

Hu Ma just listened silently, not daring to interrupt randomly at this time.

“However, in the end, it’s my mother-in-law’s fault. She’s not moral enough and she’s a little forced..."

The mother-in-law looked at Hu Ma with a pair of guilty eyes, and said slowly: "I can only bring you back, but this method of resurrection from the dead is only half completed."

"Logically, my mother-in-law should stay and continue to treat you."

"But the Meng family is pressing too hard, so I have no choice but to go back to the ancestral temple to deal with the matters there. The remaining half needs to be completed by yourself..."

 Actually, after hearing this, Hu Ma felt a little confused.

 But he had seen all the hard work his mother-in-law had done before, and now that he saw her feeling so guilty, he felt even more uncomfortable.

 Hurry and whispered: "You have done a lot for me, mother-in-law."

"well…"

The mother-in-law just touched the palm of Hema's hand. Just now, Hema started the fire and killed the baby spirit, but now the fire has not been extinguished.

The warmth of this palm seems to make my mother-in-law feel at ease and warm.

She sighed slowly and said, "It's not enough. Your father is gone. I just want to raise you, but I can't even do it..."

“If it were you before, I would never have the heart to go back to the ancestral temple, but now...”

　　　…”

As she spoke, she felt a little unbearable. She paused and then said, "It's not good to be sensible. Sensible children always suffer more."

 “Don’t endure hardship, mother-in-law.”

Hu Ma listened, and his heart trembled slightly. Not to mention anything else, just out of sympathy for such an old man who had spent all his efforts, he also subconsciously said: "You help me drive away evil spirits, and find such a person for me." Duoxue Taisui has done a great job."

“I have only been here with Erye for a month, but my temperament is stronger than anyone else, and Erye has taught me all his skills...”

“The second master is very surprised. He said that I have been lighting the stove for a month, but I am even better than his sixty-year-old boy skills!”

　　　…”

 “Isn’t that right?”

Mother-in-law also laughed, her brows full of pride: "After all, you are a descendant of our Hu family!"

 “The second brother is just a meat cutter...”

　　　…”

 The most pleasant thing is talking ill of people behind their backs together, and the atmosphere in the cave seems to be more relaxed.

The mother-in-law had a smile on her face, but looking at Hu Ma's appearance, she gradually became soft-hearted and said softly: "Good boy, my mother-in-law also believes you can do it."

“But you must remember what my mother-in-law said to you.”

　　　…”

Hu Ma quickly cheered up and nodded.

The mother-in-law said solemnly: "First of all, you need to bring your mother-in-law back to Laohuotangzi. No matter who asks, they will only say that your mother-in-law is gone. From now on, don't mention your mother-in-law to anyone, let alone the Hu family, until I come here in person. The day I ask you to go back.”

“Wouldn’t it be necessary to enter the old fire pond…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in her heart, and suddenly felt worried.

 “My mother-in-law is different from you.”

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "It's just a remnant. It's no longer useful. It's easier to throw it away."

Hu Ma couldn't understand this yet, but she looked into her mother-in-law's clear eyes and made sure she wasn't trying to coax her, so she could only nod her head seriously.

"When your mother-in-law enters the old fire pond, my grandson, you should heal yourself as soon as possible."

The mother-in-law sighed, looked at Hu Ma, and said softly: "How many pillars do you have now?"

 “How many columns?”

 Listening to her words, Hu Ma suddenly thought of the incense stick she saw in her dream.

Originally, I only had less than two fingers, but later, as I ate more blood Tai Sui and practiced Qigong diligently, I actually made a breakthrough.

Now, there is one and a half sticks of incense.

So, tentatively, he replied softly: "Just the night before yesterday, there seemed to be some changes when I was doing the exercises..."

He did not describe the changes in the dream, but only described the feeling of "burning something" at that time.

"Yes."

The mother-in-law showed a happy smile on her face, nodded, and said: "Then you already have one and a half pillars of Taoism."

 “This shows that our approach is correct.”

The mother-in-law sighed softly: "My mother-in-law cannot do the second half of this method for you, but as long as you have the three pillars of Taoism, you can solve the problem of your semi-yin body."

 “Three pillars?”

Hu Ma's heart moved slightly: "When I have three sticks of incense, can I relieve the coldness in my body?"

"One life is one pillar. If you have three lives of others, if you can't get back to this, then God is being unreasonable..."

The mother-in-law sighed in a low voice: "I asked you to learn skills from your second master with the thought of this day. In fact, the skills he learned are the right way, but I am reluctant to teach him."

 “But you have to keep learning.”

　　　…”

As she spoke, she turned around with some difficulty, as if to take the baggage next to her.

Hu Ma hurriedly took it over for her and handed it to her, but she pushed it into Hu Ma's arms, just opened the bag and said: "You should keep these things, but be careful not to let others see them. Then A red one…”

She pointed to a piece of paper inside that looked like a talisman and said, "This is Xiao Hongtang's eight-character sticker. If you keep it from now on, Xiao Hongtang will follow you all the time."

 “Well, she is also a poor child, don’t be mean to her in the future.”

　　　…”

"of course not…"

Hu Ma shook her head repeatedly and looked at the entrance of the cave, holding Xiao Hongtang with a dazed face: "I really like Xiao Hongtang."

“You used to like to bully Xiao Hongtang and even coaxed her into stealing things…”

The mother-in-law couldn't help but laugh, but Hu Ma couldn't handle the words. She laughed twice, pointed to a jar in the bag, and whispered: "You can't live without Tai Sui. "

“My mother-in-law has cut off all the blood in this old Yin Mountain, Tai Sui, but I don’t know if you can hold on to the Three Pillars, but there is nothing I can do for the time being...”

　　In addition to shaking her head repeatedly to reassure her mother-in-law, Hu Ma could not say anything.

The mother-in-law didn't seem to give him a chance to say anything more. She used all her strength and took out an ancient book from the bottom of the bag. Hu Ma saw that it seemed to have "Qingyuan Hu Family" written on it. And words like "Zhen Sui".

“This is the New Year’s Book of our Hu family…”

Mother-in-law solemnly stuffed the booklet into Hu Ma's palm.

Speaking of this, even her expression seemed to become a little majestic: "We are the only ones left in the Hu family in Qingyuan. Mother-in-law, I want to go back and stop those things from the Meng family. My abilities are limited, and I don't know if I can stop them." The Meng family is only looking forward to your grandson."

“Sooner or later, my grandson will learn a skill, and let’s settle the accounts with the Meng family together…”

　　　…”

Looking at her mother-in-law's serious expression, Hu Ma actually felt great pressure in her heart.

 A subtle emotion made him dare not accept the booklet.

 There is a vague feeling, as if taking over this booklet also takes over some kind of huge grievances.

But facing his mother-in-law's expectant face, he finally just sighed secretly in his heart and took the booklet with both hands.

"I will."

 He assured his mother-in-law seriously: "It will definitely happen."
