Chapter 497: Worship the Stone Horse and Hang Red Lanterns

"I didn't expect that I could earn two big animals in addition to the skills by coming here for one cent..."

Originally, Hu Ma wanted to harness Master Ma to the cart, and let Bai Shanzi take the two horses he taught him for one cent, but now Master Ma was very dissatisfied with him and ignored him, so he had to drive him away.

He left Shima Town with a clatter, and the seventh son of the Sun family, Master Hong, Bai Shanzi and others behind him also stayed after sending him to the town entrance and watched him go away. Hu Ma could sense that there were more than just a few people in the town watching him.

Thinking of the exchanges in the past few days, he smiled bitterly in his heart. There were many things he wanted to know, but he had no way to answer the questions asked by the senior brother.

You asked what it meant to not eat cattle, what can I say?

Thinking that since this not eating cattle already had its own ideas, he had to say it along with him. Who doesn't know what seems to be true? But I never thought that the elder brother seemed to be deeply touched when he heard it...

Very good, keep this style, otherwise if you make it more profound, I really don’t know how to give you an answer...

"Huh..."

After leaving Shima Town, Hu Ma also breathed a sigh of relief. Because the copper coffin was heavy, he didn't whip it, and let the two horses slowly pull forward. On the way, he looked at several villages and farmlands in the mountains and looked at them carefully.

I found that most of the houses were intact and there were people, and it seemed that they were not affected by the Lantern Festival of the One-Cent Sect.

Think about the past few days, General Yin, the hall officials, and the various tribes fought, and the evil magic and strange methods were in chaos.

These ordinary people were lucky to be able to preserve their property in such a chaos.

However, it was a little different from when I came here. I saw red lanterns hanging in several villages, and the pages were bright, obviously just pasted.

When passing by a village, he saw a peddler with a bamboo pole on his back, on which he was selling more than a dozen red lanterns. He taught the naughty children from the nearby village who were playing around him, and coaxed them to sing a ballad with candy:

"Worship the stone horse, hang red lanterns, and use a copper coin to invite the ghost soldiers."

"Invite millions of ghost soldiers to take back the money and food to provide for the ancestors."

"..."

"?"

Hu Ma was shocked when he heard it. It has only been a few days, and even such a nursery rhyme has been made up?

This nursery rhyme sounds simple, but it may be able to kill people...

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the cart passed by, he took a closer look at the peddler. He saw that he had healthy legs and feet, and was smiling. He seemed to be unaware of Hu Ma's gaze, but after Hu Ma passed by, he suddenly turned around and smiled at him.

Hu Ma immediately knew what was going on. He might be a disciple of the sect of not eating cattle.

With their participation, it makes sense. The disciples of Bushi Niu, such as books hidden in fish belly, stone men in sand river, and foxes crying at night, are all basic operations.

And this is also their way to expand the influence of Lantern Blessing Association as much as possible, but who would have thought that the Red Lantern Goddess also occupies a place in it, and even ranks higher than the One-Coin Religion?

Looking at these red lanterns hanging in the mountains, there is a tendency for the spread of wildfires. Although the name of the Red Lantern Goddess is not clearly mentioned, what kind of impact this will bring, even I can't say for sure...

"Anyway, the Red Lantern Goddess built a temple, and it is the time to recruit believers. I am helping her..."

"..."

I simply stopped thinking about it, just drove the carriage and went straight to my own blood-eating mine.

"Grandmaster, I only ask you one word..."

When Hu Ma left Shima Town and rushed back to the Blood Mine, Lao Suanpan, who had returned two days earlier, was in his own hut at the mine, killing a chicken, taking flowers and fruits, setting up the incense table, and taking out the flag he usually hid in his crotch.

He respectfully inserted it on the top, and then prayed sincerely: "This guy is really good at causing trouble. With our little ability, we can't stop him..."

"Originally, I calculated that his fate was quite bad, so I followed him to make some benefits. Who would have thought that his ability to cause trouble was so terrible, and he also mixed with the monster who didn't eat cattle. I think it's hard to turn the situation around in his family..."

"Now let's not say anything else. The old rules, you nod twice, and I'll go back quickly, okay?"

"..."

While mumbling for a long time, he shook the copper coins in his hand a few times and sprinkled them on the ground, but they were all upside down.

He was unwilling to give up, so he picked it up again and sprinkled it three times, but it didn't happen once.

The old abacus's face changed, and he picked it up again, put on a smile, and prayed: "Nodding twice is too tiring, let's nod once, and the disciple will understand."

He threw it ten times in a row.

But ten times in a row, it was the opposite, and the old abacus was angry. He suddenly jumped up, took down the fat chicken on the incense table, and cursed: "Don't eat you, you didn't nod after ten throws, is this reasonable?"

"According to the evil spirits back then, this is not in line with probability theory. I provide you with good food and drink every day, but when it comes to things, you insist on pushing me into the fire pit?"

The ancestor ignored him, but there was a slight breeze, and the flag seemed to sway.

Old Suanpan fell down in fear and started crying: "No one would cheat his disciples like you, could it be that you..."

"...accepted benefits from the Hu family?"

"..."

The flag waved, still silent, but Old Suanpan suddenly thought of something: "Or do you think this family still has a chance of winning?"

He quickly grabbed the copper coin and tossed it several times, but he was dumbfounded.

Still the opposite.

Just as he was sitting in the room, not knowing what to do, he heard a noise outside, but it was Hu Ma who came back. He also hurriedly collected the copper coins and put the plate of fat chicken in front of the ancestor to enjoy. Lift up your robe and go out.

"Put the coffin under the shade of a tree at the edge of the valley, dig a hole and bury it. Surround it with jujube branches and put eye-catching red paper around it. Don't let anyone bump into it after drinking too much."

Hu Ma was arranging for people to drag the cart over there to unload the coffin, bury it in the soil, and invite it out when needed. He also asked people to tie the two big animals he earned into the stable and feed them, and then he carried the coffin. The baggage comes into the hall.

I happened to see the old abacus coming out, so I smiled, squinted my eyes and said, "Brother, you are not serious. We went to the town for a walk together. When something happened, you didn't wait for me and ran back early. ”

After hearing this, the old abacus was even angrier than him, and said with a sad face: "You have the nerve to say that I am not real, but you are not!"

"You guys who watch the New Year's Eve run fast, but I don't run fast. That night was so dangerous. There were people worshiping lamps, demons who didn't eat cattle, and officials from the Hall of Watching the New Year's Eve attacking the town. I was so scared. I hid in the coffin all night and didn’t see you helping me!”

"..."

"……Fine!"

Hu Ma originally wanted to use words to try to persuade her, but she didn't expect that she would be even more aggrieved.

On the surface, everyone seems to be doing the same thing, so no one can tell anyone else.

Just letting the artificial rice come to eat, he invited the old abacus into the hall, and even took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea. He said with a smile: "Actually, I was quite worried about this time. I saw you running away. I didn't expect that the old man would run away." Brother is still kind, stay and help me.”

The old abacus was suddenly hit in a sore spot, and he tried to ask: "How about you pay off my salary during this period, and I will find a young accountant for you?"

Although the Patriarch refused to let him go, if someone insisted on forcing him to leave, that would be reasonable and justified, wouldn't it?

"Need not."

After hearing this, Hu Ma immediately refused with a smile, and looked closer than before. She smiled and said: "It is said that if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. Although you are my old brother and a peer, you are also old, right?" ?”

"Actually, on the way back this time, I just wanted to discuss something with you. Do you understand the art of cultivating the human soul?"

"..."

"ask me?"

The old abacus was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you learn a lot from Yi Qian's teaching?"

“I only know what it is, but I don’t know why it is.”

Hu Ma said: "I did learn something. I can feel that my soul is strong and I have enough energy, but I don't understand the mystery. It's okay to go straight, but it's a bit difficult to do it accurately."

"This is the way to keep the year old, just pay attention to the time you are alive and don't care about death..."

Old Abacus was thoughtful, sighed lowly, and said slowly: "But the soul is much more complicated. What do you want to know?"

"I have a friend……"

Hu Ma looked into his eyes and had already thought about it all the way. Now she asked without any politeness: "Originally, the family still had some foundation, but the enemy forced him to do it and almost killed his only seedling. Later, It was saved."

"But the enemy was not so kind and let him go. It seemed that he was rescued, but his soul seemed to have been tampered with. Now that he has discovered the problem, he has the confidence to force this thing out... "

"But I still don't quite understand how to get into this business. Brother, you are well-informed. Do you have any good ideas for me?"

"..."

After saying these words, he looked at the old abacus seriously, with a smile on his face, and took out the knife from the bag, admiring it slowly while waiting for the old brother's answer.

This old guy hides his head and shows his tail, and he has some abilities that he can't be sure of, but the senior brother who doesn't eat cattle is very discerning. No one can hide the things in the town these days from him, and he is careful. Talked to myself.

Normally we are all buddies, and things got over in a blur, but now the situation has been revealed, and if you still refuse to talk about it, then...

"this……"

Seeing the seriousness of Hu Ma's question, Old Abacus panicked slightly. He really should have left early. The ancestor refused to let him go. Could it be that he was dealing with such a troublesome thing?

I have the intention not to get involved in this part of karma, but I am a person who keeps track of the year.

The old man holds a knife in his hand, is close at hand, and asks me for advice with a smile on his face. How can anyone be embarrassed to refuse?

"unacceptable!"

Lao Abacus was filled with indignation, slapped his thigh heavily, and said: "That friend of yours is in trouble..."

"God is fair, who can bear this?"
