Chapter 496: What does it mean not to eat cows?

 “Senior, do you need my help?”

The sweet potato was burning with pride and feeling sad, but after hearing Hu Ma's words, Leng Buding was overjoyed: "What are you busy with?"

Hu Ma, however, pondered for a moment and said, "It's not time to tell, but in the past few days, just go to the woods to the east and meet me."

　　"Okay, okay, okay, senior, I will hit wherever you point me, I'm so good..."

Sweet potato was overjoyed by this unexpected joy, and immediately agreed: "In our Red Lantern Lady Club, the person I admire most is you, senior. A few days ago, the guy named Monkey Wine sent us a letter. When he talked about senior, you were in stone." If something happens in Ma Town, everyone will blame you!"

“You are said to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you look safe, but you are actually the boldest and most trouble-making one...I don’t agree with that!”

“Obviously, senior, you are the most courageous one...”

　　　…”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Hu Ma quickly stopped Sweet Potato Burning's flattery, made an appointment with her, and then disconnected herself.

 I feel a little helpless, what should I say? This little girl, Sweet Potato Shao, is really positive when something happens, but she's so excited that she's a little scared...

Earlier, not only Hu Ma, but also Miss Baijiu and Erguotou were subconsciously avoiding her, but now, it is different. The reincarnated people have encountered big problems, and such proactive people can no longer be excluded.

Of course, these most confidential information about the reincarnated person must be kept subconsciously. Otherwise, who knows what uncontrollable things she could do after hearing this excitement?

 The reason for making an appointment with her this time was not just to appease her, but also because he was afraid that she would attack someone from the Yiqian Sect.

 Speaking of use, flax is indeed useful for her.

First, Wu Ya is still sleeping and needs someone from the Xinghun Sect to come and take a look. Of course, Diguashao has not yet entered the mansion and her skills may be a little worse, but since she is from the Xinghun Sect, she must know about things in the Xinghun Sect. There are many people who are better than me.

 Furthermore, the things in my left arm also need to be dealt with properly.

Now this line of business is tightly suppressed by him, and he cannot escape or make any mistakes. However, Hu Ma only has some ideas on how to deal with it, and he also needs the cooperation of the people in the Soul Punishing Sect.

　　Shou Sui Ren is a straightforward and rough-tempered person, whether he is cultivating the physical body or cultivating the Dharma. He cannot do such fine work. Di Guashao should not have much ability now, but she can be used to gain more exposure to the soul torture sect.

After thinking about it for a while, Hu Ma withdrew from the natal temple. He opened his eyes and saw that it was still early, so he fell asleep again.

At dawn, I packed my bags. This time I came to this money sect and had a lot of experience. I even became the leader of the sect in name, but Hu Ma didn’t take away many things.

There are only the seal of the mighty Tiangong general, the painting that can be entered into the ghost cave, and the blank seal that fell from the old elm tree. According to senior brother, the former two are his own things, and the latter is his identity. symbol of.

　　I got up, cleaned my teeth, and asked the inn to bring some food. After I had full stomach, I fed the horse.

When it was time to set off, the seventh son of the Sun family rushed over, accompanied by a master and two apprentices wearing an apron, with bloodshot eyes and a burning aura on his body. After asking, he knew that it was that person. A master who helped him forge his sword.

Now the handle of the knife has been carved out and placed properly, with red thread wrapped around it.

This time he came with the seventh son of the Sun family to give him a knife.

 “Thank you for your hard work, master…”

When Hu Ma went to get the knife before, although he just rode a fast horse and passed by the window, he still had a vague idea of ​​what happened in the blacksmith shop when the murderous knife came out of the furnace.

He bowed politely to the old master, then took ten taels of silver from the bag and gave them three blood food pills... I really didn't have any money, so I still gave one tael to teach ten taels. After that, the rest.

The seventh son of the Sun family had given him blood food pills as a filial piety before, so he only gave them seven pills in total, so there were not many left.

 Usually when Xiao Hongtang helped with the work, he would be given blood food pills. This time, after being given a code for a long time, he only got Tanghulu.

 “No need, no need…”

Unexpectedly, the master didn't accept the offer. He just waved his hands and said, "It's a blessing to be able to serve this gentleman. It's my honor for the young master to give us this job. I accepted the money, but instead It’s hard to take the name.”

　　　…”

Hearing this, the two apprentices next to him couldn't hold back any longer, thinking that this knife would almost kill you as soon as it came out of the furnace.

 This is also a blessing, right?

Huma was also a little surprised. She glanced at the seventh child of the Sun family and saw him smiling and nodding, and knew that this master was the blacksmith raised by the Sun family. He would naturally be rewarded, but there was no need to force it.

So he put away the ten taels of silver again, and when he was about to take the knife, the master came close to him again and whispered to Hu Ma: "Young master, please lend me a step to speak."

Seeing that he was careful, Hu Ma took a few steps away from him, only to hear the master sigh lowly and warn: "Logically speaking, I am just a blacksmith, so I shouldn't talk too much. This knife is really not ordinary. So I still have to tell the young master a few words."

"This sword is not an ordinary thing. It has an extremely fierce aura, both demonic and evil. When the young master does not use it, do not bring it with you. It is best to find a temple with strong incense and enshrine it inside. It’s murderous.”

"When it's time to use it, prepare a live chicken and strong wine, first use it to test the knife to arouse its evil spirit. After using it, burn the knife with strong fire again, and then offer it to the temple again."

　　　…”

"Yes Yes."

Seeing that he was serious about what he said, Hu Ma also smiled and agreed, but in fact he didn't really take it to heart. This sword is certainly fierce and evil, but at least I can suppress it.

Although the master was a craftsman, he specialized in the business of Jianghu people and had a good eye for observing people's faces. Although Hu Ma spoke politely, he also saw that Hu Ma was a little perfunctory. He sighed longly and said, "Others don't know , I know it.”

“Young master, you are not an ordinary person, otherwise you would never be able to control this knife. Even if it went out and turned around, it suddenly became fierce and subdued, as if you were drunk..."

"But the young master also listen to my advice, you can control it, you can control it, but swords are also dangerous things after all. This sword is evil and evil. Old man, I have never seen anything like this in my whole life. "

"However, evil spirits can take away luck, but destroy blessings."

“My young master, as long as you can use this knife to control it, your luck will get better and better, but Fuze will also get more and more injured!”

“So, it’s better to keep as much as you can, lest it be too late to make up for it in the future.”

　　　…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was slightly startled.

 In my heart, there seemed to be some subtle doubts that had been there for a long time, which were aroused by these words.

So he paused slightly, but this time he was more sincere and said to the master: "I have written down the words."

 “I don’t know what to call the master?”

　　　…”

 “Easy to say, easy to say…”

The master master saw that Hu Ma was serious about his promise and asked his name again. This was a great respect for him.

If this sword becomes famous in the future, he will also become a famous craftsman.

Hurry and imitate the Jianghu people, he held his fists and said: "This little old man's surname is Hong, and his single name is Fang!"

Hu Ma said: "Master Hong is polite."

 Speaking, as a manager of Qingxiang of the Red Lantern Club, he exchanged names with the other party and became friends.

Master Hong Fang hurriedly asked someone to bring the knife and the scabbard together. The scabbard was carved from wood that had been growing for more than a hundred years on the Xiangyang hillside. It had not yet been painted. Look. The clothes are plain and unpretentious.

But the material is good, and the blade is tucked in half, but it obviously looks more suitable for enshrinement than wearing it on the waist.

From now on, if Hu Ma wants to take it out, he must either carry it in his hand or tie it on his back.

Besides the scabbard, there is also a wiping cloth and a whetstone, both of which are from famous people and can be considered gifts from Master Hong.

Hu Ma took it, and Master Hong asked curiously: "Manager Hu, have you ever given a name to this sword?"

Seeing that the master and his apprentices were all concerned about this issue, and the seventh child of the Sun family next to him also pricked up his ears curiously, Hu Ma smiled, thinking that the knife had just come out of the furnace, and followed him to cut off the grass head. God, drank the blood of the Meng family's children again.

Then he laughed and said: "I took one temporarily, but it didn't sound good, so I called it 'punishment officer'."

"ah?"

Master Hong knew people with his sword and recognized that Hu Ma was extraordinary. But when he heard the name, he was shocked in his heart.

At this time, from a distance, two tall horses with green manes and long legs were seen on the stone road at the other end of the town, dragging a large cart over.

There was nothing else in the car, only a copper coffin, and the person escorting the car was the white fan beside Fairy Miaoshan. Because of the flax, I made an appointment with Fairy Miaoshan and the senior brother yesterday, and everything was kept low-key, so they didn't have to come to see it off. .

It is their business whether others catch a glimpse of this Lantern Festival, but at least on the surface, Hu Ma is just the blood, food and mine manager of the Red Lantern Festival. If there is a chance, he will leave quietly.

Behind them, in the main altar mansion, Senior Brother and Fairy Miaoshan, although it is inconvenient to show up to see each other off, but etiquette is indispensable. They are standing far away facing the east to see each other off. Fairy Miaoshan turned back to look at Senior Brother several times and said, Zhang Qing's cold and aloof face was full of clarity and simplicity:

“Senior Brother, what have you been talking about with the leader these days? Why, as the leader, does he not stay to take charge of the overall situation, but instead wants to go back to the Blood Food Mine to continue being a small mine owner?”

　　　…”

“We talked a lot, and most of them were asked by the leader.”

The senior brother sighed softly and said: "Asking about the general trend of the world, asking about the martial arts, the pros and cons of the ten surnames, asking about the strange people who appeared in this town, and even asking about some difficult matters in cultivation, it seems that Study seriously."

"And I actually only asked him one question in total, why don't you eat cows?"

　　　…”

Immortal Miaoshan was startled after hearing this. Shouldn’t the leader be asking us this question? We are the ones who don’t eat cows…

 But he knew in his heart that it was not that simple, so he hurriedly asked: "What did the leader say?"

"He said…"

eldest brother paused and said with a smile: "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..."
