Chapter 57 Destiny in One Word

 I really thought about it.

Hu Ma had been waiting for this day. Earlier, he was in the village and wanted to kill Cui Xie'er, but he didn't say anything to Erguotou, just to keep this favor until the critical moment.

Now that I heard his voice, I felt much more relaxed.

Erguotou felt quite happy after hearing this and said with a smile: "It seems that the journey of seeking the Dharma is not so smooth?"

 “It seems to be going very smoothly...”

Hu Ma smiled and said: "I did burn green incense, and as I wished, I came to work with an old shopkeeper who has unique skills. Now, he has even begun to teach us his skills. However, I can't help but have some questions. The Red Lantern Lady Is this the case for everyone who knows how to teach others?"

 As he said that, he told the story of how he learned the style.

 “This is inevitable…”

Erguotou laughed when he heard this: "Not only the Red Lantern Club, but other Blood Food Gangs also only teach these false moves in the early stage. What if you run away?"

Hearing this, Hu Ma was slightly startled: "A false move?"

"good."

Erguotou smiled and explained to Hu Ma: "Anything that has nothing to do with the Sui Shouman method is just a false move."

"You guys, you are the way to watch the year, you can't do without blood food. How can you make the stove burner with only your own firepower?"

"Unless you never lose your virginity in this life, you not only have enough firepower, but you can also break hundreds of poisons. However, the price is a bit high. What will happen to the others?"

"Then blood food is indispensable. With the blood food as an offering, the furnace will be strong, and those techniques can produce amazing power to kill evil spirits and destroy evil spirits!"

“But the premise is that you have to stay in the Red Lantern Lady Club and have blood food to support you.”

"If you run away and don't have blood food, you won't be able to use these moves you have learned. Once you use them, your life will be consumed. If you use it once or twice, you will pay it off. If you use it too much, it will be like burning out a candle. , there is nothing in the body, isn’t it worse than death?”

　　　…”

“There are indeed many connections in this kind of gang that has been around for many years.”

Hu Madu sighed: "If I lack blood food and practice this style a lot, I'm afraid I will be like those Hongxiang guys."

 But one thing to say is that it’s not that the Red Light Society deliberately dug holes, it just borrowed this feature.

 The style that Er Ye taught him is essentially the same.

After thinking about this clearly, Hu Ma said: "If that's the case, how can I learn the real method of the old man?"

 “That won’t be easy.”

 Brother Erguotou sighed and said: "You have to be able to sell your face and serve others, and even pay a lot of price."

“These old shopkeepers all have unique skills, but they will never teach them to others easily. After all, this is their job and the ability to make a living.”

"With this unique skill, all the Blood Food Gangs have to support them. How can they be willing to pass on this skill for no reason?"

“What if you fall out in the future and come back to compete with them for food?”

　　　…”

"this…"

　　 Hu Ma had anticipated this earlier, and now he couldn't help but sigh.

 This phenomenon is not uncommon.

Even in his previous life, he had heard the legend that a country boy who went to the city to learn cooking would have to wash the chef's feet, do odd jobs, and compete for all kinds of work. He would fall under the chef's eye, but the other party wanted to do it. To teach him, you have to establish three rules.

The first is to hand over the wages, and the second is that the cook can scold her if he wants to. If someone says, "I'll **** your mother," you still have to respond. Go in quickly and wait.

 The most terrible thing is the third one, doing it every night.

  After all, they are all skills that can make one's life stable, and it is so difficult to learn them.

 And this is just learning how to cook. Now I have to learn the skills of a watcher. Isn’t it going to be even more difficult?

Hu Ma thought seriously and had a clearer understanding of what he was planning now.

 “Of course, you found a good place and a good time.”

Brother Erguotou said at this moment: "The steward who sent you there is an honest man. Shopkeeper Wu is in a very embarrassing situation now."

"He originally trained a few disciples to help him, and they were very important. They were sent to guard the blood food warehouse there. As a result, when the blood food was put into the warehouse last year, evil spirits coveted it. , an accident caused a big mess."

"Not only did the disciples around him die and go crazy, but the old shopkeeper's family also suffered. The most important thing is that the batch of blood food from the Red Lantern Society was robbed, and the loss was considerable."

"The incense owner above is actually very dissatisfied with his fault. Thanks to him taking care of everything, and having acquaintances who tried their best to help him put in good words, he had this opportunity to repay his crime and make meritorious deeds. Now he wants to kill this Zhuangzi Let’s get back into business and make up for last year’s mistakes!”

"So, he must retrain a few helpers, otherwise he may be unable to support himself!"

"Logically speaking, in his situation, it would be best to pick a few mature old people from other places in the club and let him train them. But he is not willing to teach the people sent by others. He only chooses from newcomers. .”

　　　…”

 “Is there still this one?”

Only then did Hu Ma understand why, apart from the family of the old shopkeeper, there was no old clerk in this village.

 In my heart, I felt deeply that the gift from the second master was really not in vain. Mustache was a good manager. He first asked himself if he wanted to learn the skills before sending him here.

 It’s because this is where you have the greatest chance of learning skills.

"Of course, he has no idea who he will choose to teach." After Erguotou finished speaking, he smiled and said: "He can't teach everyone in your group. You have to behave well and interact with many people. Only by getting close and being seen among the crowd can you earn this opportunity."

 “One thing is certain...”

Hu Ma thought silently, isn't that what the young man in brocade clothes in Zhuangzi did?

 He undoubtedly also knew the news that Erguotou shared with him, so he also came to that method.

 He ordered his men to excel in every aspect in order to show his ability.

He targeted himself because he had accidentally fallen into his limelight and was worried that he would fall into the old shopkeeper's eyes, so he didn't even give himself a chance to show off.

He is really careful. He stole his limelight when he first arrived. He has been still wary for more than half a month.

 After he returned a little slowly, Erguotou noticed it and said with a smile, "Is there a problem?"

 “I’m afraid it’s not easy to get ahead.”

Hu Ma let out a breath and told the story of the young master in brocade clothes.

 “That’s true.”

Hearing this, Erguotou immediately laughed and said, "Brother, does this man have a red wooden sword?"

Hu Ma was slightly startled and said, "Indeed."

 “Then you will definitely not be able to compete with him.”

Erguotou smiled and said: "That is the child of the Xu family. His father is an old priest of the Red Lantern Society who prepares blood food pills. He has accumulated a lot of furniture and knows all the shopkeepers."

"Now I have spent a lot of money to keep him in good health, and I have purchased this old thing. I have packed it up, given instructions, and sent it to the village, so that he can learn some skills from the old shopkeeper."

“Perhaps, the family members have already made an agreement before they go there.”

 “You came up from the village, how can you compare with others?”

　　　…”

"this…"

Hu Ma's heart sank slightly. The truth was really heartbreaking. He felt a little confused when he heard it.

Erguotou smiled and said: "Of course, there is no way."

Hu Ma hurriedly said: "What?"

Brother Erguotou smiled lightly and said, "Since his family has a good background, then I'll deal with his father, right?"

"Um…"

Hu Ma agreed smoothly, but was suddenly startled: "What the hell?"

 “Get rid of his father…”

Erguotou smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of those with backgrounds. Just let them have no backgrounds."

“I see that his father has been greedy for ink in the past few years. He also wants to have an operation on him. If it doesn’t work, we will do it to him.”

“Once his father falls, it’s too late for others to distance themselves from him. Who dares to take care of him?”

　　　…”

 “What the hell?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was dumbfounded, and her outlook was a bit shattered: "Can it still be like this?"

 “It’s just a matter of words to me.”

Erguotou heard Hu Ma's surprise, and his voice sounded very proud, and he said: "Brother, you have not interacted with the reincarnated people much. This kind of favor is the easiest to help anyway. I just need to pass a few words."

"What's more difficult than this is that I directly promote you, or even directly help you find a method."

　　　…”

Hu Ma listened carefully and wrote down the experience taught by this old man one by one.

But I can’t help but feel a little curious: Brother Erguotou, what is your position in the Red Lantern Society?

It's a pity that although I was curious, I didn't take the initiative to ask.

Earlier, Erguotou said that he would see him during the few days he was in the city, but they looked different.

 Is that the owner of the incense? Some steward?

 Or a certain gang member who passed by him?

Speaking of which, if you really want to find him, you can find him. All you need to do is ask who had entered Laoyin Mountain three or four months ago, or disappeared for a month or two, and they were inseparable.

But Hu Ma didn’t really intend to do this. The reincarnated person knows his identity very well. If he can’t expose it, he won’t expose it, just like white wine.

Although Erguotou is a rough-tempered person, if you ask yourself, he might say the same thing, but you have to be sensible.

Not only him, but also because of his relationship with white wine, and the fact that the method is now more important, his identity has not been hidden. But now that the matter here is over, he has to find a way to hide his identity.

but…

Just like this, after a few secret discussions, you directly brought down an arrogant and domineering young master's backer?

The other party probably has no idea what is going on with this sudden disaster, right?

Hu Ma couldn't help but sigh in her heart: She now vaguely understands why reincarnated people are regarded as the most powerful evil spirits...
