Chapter 74: Evil spirits in the countryside
Chapter 74 Evil spirits in the countryside
It's time to reassure and comfort, and it's time to warn.
Hu Ma deeply remembered what the second master said to her before he left. She did not use the arrogance unique to reincarnations to understand the world. She accepted the favors from the village calmly, but the second master told her to take care of the others. These words also
Do your best.
After all, the treasure left by the second master has been used as a favor by himself, so he can't turn his back on it.
As for this village, of course there are some things that Hu Ma doesn't like either.
But that's what the village is like.
They are the ones who are greedy and stupid, and turn their backs on others just for some benefit. They are the ones who don't need to call out when something happens and just come to help directly.
They are the ones who only recognize people who are close and distant without being reasonable, and they are the ones who come to fight with someone regardless of the reason.
People born in the village are like this, whether they are good or bad.
I do have a choice now. As a reincarnated person, I can abandon them and focus on myself, but I can also help each other if conditions permit without affecting my own goals. Hu Ma has temporarily chosen
the latter.
After all, my mother-in-law said that Dayangzhai is the root of the Hu family.
Of course, Hu Ma's understanding is one thing. On the face of it, with the help of the brothers in Dayangzhaizi who work together, many things will indeed be easier to handle.
In this outer courtyard, Hu Ma, as the manager, took over a dozen of these guys, some of whom he didn't know at all before and are not familiar with now, and a few who were left over by Xu Ji, who were even in a state of hostility with him before.
.
It actually takes a lot of energy to arrange all the big and small things in this outer courtyard.
In the past, I could arrange things well because I wanted to show off and go all out. But now, I have to leave enough energy for myself to practice the method of staying up late. I focus on these things every day, work hard, and occasionally make troubles.
Impatient things.
But with Zhou Datong and the others taking the lead, things were much easier to handle.
Watching at night and sweeping, feeding the horses and buying grain, fetching water and chopping firewood, all done step by step.
With their help, during this period of time, Hu Ma turned on the fire every day to refine her left hand.
The key to the secret of being a New Year's Eve watcher is between life and death.
Now, as the fire of his refining method gradually deepens, there are also some wonderful changes.
This left hand was cold at first, and I couldn't even feel his presence. However, as I practiced the refining method, I gradually felt a slight warmth in this hand.
Later, the warmth became more and more intense, and I gradually began to feel the soreness and pain in this hand. After a while, I was able to test it, move my fingers little by little, and clenched my fist a little...
…
"Being born from death is such a magical feeling..."
This was the first part of Hu Ma's cultivation, and he paid special attention to it, remembering every detail.
He could feel that his left hand was coming to life, but it was different from the feeling of being alive before.
First of all, this hand is alive, but it is not the kind of anger that Xue Taisui forcibly aroused.
Furthermore, refining this left hand actually made him feel some wonderful things that he could not imagine before.
The energy, blood, bones and flesh are all full and powerful, as if some mysterious power has been inspired.
I think I was greatly tempered between life and death.
With his daily practice of martial arts, this left hand, like a furnace hammer, has been tempered over and over again, and it has gradually developed abilities that are different from ordinary people.
"How's your training going?"
As for the shopkeeper, he seemed to be a cold-faced person. He didn't teach the Dharma and just ignored everything.
At least every two or three days, I still call Hu Ma over to ask about the progress of my practice.
And Hu Mabian also answered honestly: "It was cold at first, not like my own, but gradually it became a little warmer."
Of course, it just looks honest.
In fact, Hu Ma does not have to "transform into death" and has the statue of his natal deity to see him, which saves many detours. In addition, with the three pillars of Taoism, he can practice Qigong to his heart's content. The speed of his practice is far faster than that of ordinary people.
Come on, now you have three fingers that can move.
But these cannot be told truthfully.
If I entered the country too quickly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and I would not be able to explain it later.
"It's not bad."
The shopkeeper asked him several times, and there was progress every time. He seemed to be quite satisfied. He nodded lightly and said, "It seems that he has put in a lot of effort to be able to enter the country like this."
"But it's not a good thing to stay in Zhuangzi all day long and practice martial arts. It's not a bad thing for you to learn more about things outside Zhuangzi now. If you have the ability, you have to accumulate some experience."
"There has been some trouble in Shiya Village, seven miles away, and the village chief came to look for me yesterday."
"Go over and take a look and let them deal with it!"
"..."
Hu Ma thought of Zhuangzi's responsibility and nodded in agreement: "Let's go now."
The Red Lantern Lady Guild is set up in Zhuangzi all over the country, and they often have the ability to get rid of evil spirits. The original intention is just to clear away the evil spirits around so as to avoid trouble in the spring. But the villagers see that they are very capable, and if something happens, they often come to their homes.
Come ask them for help.
In the past, it was all the shopkeeper's job, and the guys didn't have this skill yet.
But now, I wanted to be the shopkeeper and wanted to practice myself, and since I was already the manager of the village, I agreed.
"Datong, ask Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu to go out with me!"
After asking about the reason, Hu Ma left the inner courtyard and called some of the people he trusted most.
Zhou Datong was sitting on the millstone bragging. When he heard this, he knew it was a good thing and hurriedly came over.
Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu didn't ask anything else. One took a stick from the yard, and the other picked up a manure fork.
Now is the free time, and the guys in Zhuangzi are not equipped with weapons. Next spring when Zhuangzi eats blood, they will be equipped with weapons. So now, the only few swords and guns in the hands of the guys in Zhuangzi are them.
I brought it with me when I came to Zhuangzi.
For example, Zhou Datong had one, which was passed down from his ancestors, and Xu Ji's two followers also had one each.
You could borrow some flax from them, but Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu didn't covet their little thing.
Especially Zhao Zhu, who loves to use dung fork.
He said that his father liked to use this when fighting with people in the village, and it had unexpected and wonderful effects.
The four people left the village one after another, not knowing what to do. The guys next to them didn't say anything when they saw them.
Although Hu Ma is not as aggressive as Xu Ji in normal times, he is willing to take care of those who should be taken care of.
Zhou Datong naturally took charge of the important and outstanding job of night patrol.
Of course, Xu Ji's two lackeys were responsible for the boring chores in the outer courtyard.
Even Li Wa, who had been injured before and was now very ill, was arranged by Hu Ma to light the fire under the stove and do some light work.
eccentric?
Really biased.
But we came from the same village, why should I not think of our people in advance?
Not to mention the people in Dayangzhai take this kind of thing for granted, even the other guys in the outer courtyard think this behavior is reasonable.
Even Xu Ji's two followers, although they had to do more chores every day and were tired, they didn't complain at all.
After all, Xu Ji was dead and Hu Ma was in charge. They didn't push him out, they didn't target him in everything, they didn't withhold all his monthly blood and food, or they blackmailed him in private.
This is a good thing that can make you burn your head and kowtow to the Buddha.
Now their mission is to try their best to flatter Zhou Datong, hoping that Hu Ma and others can forget the previous unpleasantness.
…
There were horses in the stable, but Hu Ma and the others didn't lead them out either.
Firstly, I haven't learned how to use public tools for private use yet, and secondly, the distance is short and can be reached in just a few steps.
Following the yellow mud path in the countryside, they arrived at the Shiya Village that the shopkeeper mentioned in just one stick of incense.
From a distance, you can see that the houses here are scattered and built against the mountains. They are blocked by the trees in the mountains. The sun is not visible for half of the day.
Now, at the head of the village, there were already elderly people from the village leading the villagers to greet them. They hurriedly came forward, but when they saw Hu Ma and others, the villagers looked a little surprised.
I thought it was the old shopkeeper who came, but when I saw a few young people, I felt a little guilty.
However, among the crowd watching the excitement, a man from Huanggou Village came to visit. When he saw Hu Ma walking in front, his eyes suddenly lit up and he whispered to the surrounding villagers: "You must have some idea in mind, the one walking in front will
The young master is so awesome!"
"It's not that you don't know how powerful the business in the well in our village was earlier, it was this young master who took care of it."
"..."
After hearing this, the villagers looked at Hu Ma with a little more awe, and hurriedly invited Hu Ma and others into the village.
"Brother Hu Ma, you have to do something nice and give them a show of strength."
Zhou Datong followed Hu Ma and whispered to Kongzi: "It was done beautifully the first time, and everything in the future will be convenient!"
"You know a lot."
Hu Ma glanced at him and smiled in her heart.
Zhou Datong is really not talking nonsense. The village outside Laoyin Mountain is very different from the village inside Laoyin Mountain, but they are essentially the same.
The people in the village can either respect themselves like the old shopkeeper and show the simplicity and kindness of the villagers, or they can work in secret in front of them and let themselves feel the warmth and warmth of people in the countryside. It depends on how it is.
own performance.
"Is this the place?"
Surrounded by the villagers, he soon arrived in front of a house in the village.
It seems that the family is well off. They have built three large tile-roofed houses and built a stone yard. There is a big pigsty inside, and a plainly dressed woman with her head covered is feeding the pigs. When she sees people from the village coming, she cries.
, threw away the wooden spoon and hid back in the house.
Hu Ma glanced at it and saw that everything was normal, then said: "What's going on here?"
"Nothing during the day."
The elders in the village were mysterious and said: "Someone comes over at night to steal pig food!"
"What the hell?"
Hu Ma was stunned when she heard this: "Is there anyone who secretly eats this?"
