Twilight Boundary

Chapter 507 Qingyuan Hu Family

 A red lantern will have red incense, green incense and white incense. Disciples can judge from this, and the same can be said for offerings.

 Because the belts tied around the waist are different, they are all called white waist, green waist and red waist.

Diguashao came over from the Tsing Yi Gang on the way. She did not receive any real salary, but was only rewarded with the position of a worshipper. However, her worship was not personally cultivated by the Red Lantern Society, so it was just a small sacrifice with a white waist.

Of course, unlike disciples, shopkeepers, etc., these people who joined the guild to earn a living mostly paid for themselves. Their status in the guild was not high, but it did not mean they were incompetent.

Moreover, we are not in Shima Town now, but back to Mingzhou Mansion. This is the territory of the Red Lantern Empress. Even the disciples in the guild, no one in the world dares to provoke her, let alone a worshiper who obviously possesses special powers.

 Under normal circumstances, once the name is announced, the other party will be busy trying to establish friendship. A white-waisted little priest can still scare people.

 “Red Lantern Festival?”

Unexpectedly, when the man under the green banner saw the kid under his hand burning sweet potatoes, he said obscene words and scolded him fiercely. When he saw the sweet potatoes burning, he applied for a position as a white-waisted little worshiper, but only his face showed A touch of sarcasm: "During the day, you can drive away ghosts, but the red light will be very crazy!"

It’s just early morning now, the mist has not yet dispersed, and the sun has not come out, but the rooster has certainly crowed.

The flax was just as bright as the sky, and it took the law, and the sweet potato burned was a journey. Until this, the ghost was not sent.

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he accused him of burning sweet potatoes. His words were harsh and condescending, which was a bit rude. From a vague glance, he seemed to have some official style.

　　　…”

Although Digua Shao didn't know what the other party was doing, he didn't show any fear. He also grabbed a handful of paper money in his hand and was about to show off. Of course, his eyes were wandering around, looking for the location of Hu Ma and looking at him. Not far away.

“If I can’t walk sideways here, what will I do if I enter a red light?”

“Stop for me on both sides. Don’t make any noise, let alone take action, so as not to scare the neighbors who come out to farm...”

"Grandma Qi is also familiar with your red lantern club, so I came here to advise you, a little lady, that they have strong soldiers and horses, and the big shots in your red lantern club are hiding away, so don't mess with them!"

 “Hey, this little lady is pretty…”

Grandma Qigu sat in a sedan chair and came to the sweet potato burning body. She looked her over and looked at her with a hint of drunkenness in her eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "The group of people just now were very arrogant. They came here every day to find trouble. They even took advantage of the darkness. Measuring the fields..."

The sedan was carried by two sturdy yellow leather men at the front and back, but sitting on top of the sedan was a skinny old lady, holding a pipe in her hand. She looked like she had just come back from drinking, and the sedan was swaying as she walked. She also walked and swayed.

After hearing this, Di Guashao immediately glared: "Yo? You're not talking too softly, you're causing trouble for me, aren't you?"

When he got there, he knocked on his pipe and said, "You guys usually hang around here, I don't care, but why are you so arrogant today and are you going to hurt people so early in the morning?"

As he spoke, he staggered across the official road and got into the dead grass on the other side.

Instead, only the sweet potato was left burning in a daze: "It's only been a few days, why can't we in the Red Lantern Club get crazy?"

Even Digua Shao was surprised. He muttered and looked at the old lady.

 As she scolded, the kid carrying the sedan next to her started scolding her even more.

While the two sides were at war with each other, they heard a series of shouts from the side, and saw a sedan emerging from the withered grass nest.

"Be careful. Grandma Qi usually lets you go, but she made me angry. You can't bear the soles of these shoes!"

While thinking about it, he was about to go find Hu Ma to discuss it, but when he looked up, he saw that the road ahead was clean and Hu Ma had disappeared.

The believers under the green flag didn't say much, they just pulled out a colorful flag from their sleeves, stepped forward indifferently, looked at it without saying a word, and then started to take action.

　　　…”

The person under the green flag sneered when he saw the old lady coming. He knew that her status was not easy to deal with, but he was unwilling to say soft words in front of her. He slowly put the flag back into his sleeve and snorted coldly. With a cry, he took people away.

　　　…”

“It seems like the person who came here is really evil this time…”

But Hu Ma also saw that the man wearing the green lotus banner was so arrogant and arrogant, and realized that what happened in Mingzhou today was not that simple.

At first, I was thinking about going into Zhuangzi to see how Li Wazi and the others were doing, but now I just saved the trouble and turned around and went directly to the direction of Laoyin Mountain. After entering the mountain, I burned three sticks of incense.

 “I respectfully invite the tiger to come…”

　　　…”

Before he finished his sentence, he noticed a fragrant breeze blowing from the mountain, and he felt his body floating up.

He recognized the wind, so he did not resist and allowed it to sweep him over. However, his body swayed, the sky and the earth spun, and his mind became confused for a while. However, soon, he smelled the aroma of wine and meat coming to his nostrils, and heard the sound in his ears. Some people were chatting and laughing happily.

 Opening his eyes, he found that he had arrived in a village. There were three or five wooden tables in front of him. Someone was changing cups on the table, but he was sitting next to an incense table.

Looking back, I saw the tiger sitting upright behind the incense table, with three glasses of plain wine in front of him.

 “Are you eating noodles again?”

Hu Ma looked around and saw that the banquet seemed to be full moon wine for children. There was a peasant couple holding a child to show to the wine drinkers. Among the sacrifices offered to the tiger, there were also three. Red eggs.

Of course, they were just paying homage and didn’t know that Tiger Tiger was really here. Sitting behind the case, they didn’t know that there was an extra Hu Ma here.

But Hu Ma was curious when he saw it. He knew that tigers like to be lively and would go wherever they offer sacrifices, but... the child also eats the full moon wine?

“They specially set up a table for me, and I have nothing to do, so what if I don’t come over to enjoy it?”

Tiger Tiger guessed what Hu Ma was thinking and answered calmly. As he spoke, he glanced at him and nodded slowly: "My skills have improved a lot this time, and I finally have the demeanor of a boy with the tenth surname!"

"ah?"

Hu Ma was surprised when he heard this.

 What does it mean to have a little bit of style?

This time, in just over a month, I have already entered the mansion, opened two doors in a row, built the seal of the mighty Tiangong General, forged a fierce sword to punish officials, and broke through the three pillars of Taoism...

 …This is not just a slight improvement, it is an earth-shaking change.

You can be described as two people before going to the blood eater. Your old man said that I was not an exaggeration to reborn. How can I perform so calm?

“The Hu family’s luck lies with you. With this kind of progress, isn’t it just what it should be?”

The tiger was enjoying the vegetarian wine offered by the people in the mountain. He glanced at Hu Ma lightly and said, "On the contrary, if you don't even make this progress and call you back this time, it will be my turn to worry about you. No." I know if you can handle it!"

"Yes."

Hearing what Tiger said, Hu Ma also became serious.

Thinking about how disturbed I was by the banner during this period, and thinking of the strange man I saw at the foot of the mountain, I looked solemn:

“Senior called me back and said that there was an uninvited guest at home. What do you mean...”

　　　…”

 “Of course it’s the Hu family.”

Tiger Tiger said calmly: "They followed the people from the Truth Cult to the capital city of Mingzhou. Needless to say, they came to find you. Have you felt a little uncomfortable in the past few days?"

"yes."

Hu Ma replied in a low voice, but she couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face: "How come there are still people in the Hu family? Aren't I the only one who is dead?"

 This is something he has been curious about since he heard the news from the second son of the Meng family.

Shanjun said: "The ten surnames are all common surnames. Since the time when Tai Sui came to the world, they have been blessed with the destiny of the world. They have procreated and descended. There are many people in the clan. The ancestral temple of one clan is comparable to the sum of the fire ponds in other states and counties. It is so vast. How could it be possible that you are the only one left in this huge clan?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma was already feeling weird.

 Such a question, he had thought about before, how decent and wealthy the people with the tenth surname were.

In the Meng family of Tongyin, even a descendant of the fifth clothing can command everything when they arrive in the capital city of Mingzhou. They are so majestic. Why do they choose the Hu family? With such ability, they are the ancestors of ghosts, but they end up being the only ones left. This single seedling?

But all the time, everyone I met told me that I was the only one left in the Hu family in Zhensui...

 …How do we talk about the inside and outside here?

"but…"

But just when he was full of doubts, the tiger sighed softly and said: "It is true that you are the only one left in the Hu family in Zhensui."

“Other people’s surname is Hu, and your surname is Hu, it is no longer the same Hu.”

"Even though they are not far from you in terms of blood relationship, they can even be classified as cousins."

　　　…”

Hu Ma was shocked for a moment: "Why?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　'

Tiger Tiger turned his head and glanced at Hu Ma, and said slowly: "And it is a complete separation of families. Even the ancestors are offered separately."

“So, your family is the only one who can control the Hu family, and you are the only one left in the Hu family.”

　　　…”

 “Split the family?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma's heart suddenly became even more bizarre.

 In rural villages, family separation is very common. There are several workers in a family, and when they get married, they have to live separately. This is how brothers settle accounts.

However, this type of family separation is often the most common among small families. Many large families live in different courtyards even when they are adults, but they still have to honor the elderly together. What's more, they are all from the same ancestor, so sacrifices are naturally required. together.

Nowadays, the Hu family has been so completely divided that even the matters of ancestor worship have been separated?

What’s even more bizarre is that the Zhensui Hu family is the largest of the ten surnames, so why are they separated?

I have seen people dividing families, but I have never seen people separate the pillars of the clan...

“They were unwilling to take on that responsibility, so they did not accept the decree in front of the Zhencheng Mansion. Therefore, theoretically speaking, they no longer belong to the Zhensui Hu family..."

Tiger Tiger also understood the doubts in his heart, and sighed: "But it is true, just like you, we are both from the Qingyuan Hu family..."
