Monkey Master called seven or eight souls in one night, and they all turned into moths in his lantern, flying around, and then he and Hu Ma quietly left the village.

When he arrived outside the village, the monkey jumped on his shoulder, and his voice finally became louder. He proudly showed off his unique skills to Hu Ma, but Hu Ma was just calm, looking absent-minded, and didn't think much about it.

respond to him.

"You..."

The monkey master actually didn't seem to care, he just smiled and said to Hu Ma: "I'm still too young to understand!"

"Doorway, doorway, once you enter the doorway, you are no longer the same as the people outside..."

"..."

He may have seen Hu Ma's vague resistance to him, but he didn't know that Hu Ma had already had several murderous intentions towards him. He just knew that he was still being stared at now, and he was outnumbered and it was not time to take action.

.

Now that I have returned to Wutong Town with patience, someone has been meeting the old monkey at the entrance of the town for a long time, planning to take him to have a drink. He asked Hu Ma to go with him, but Hu Ma refused directly.

They took Hu Ma back to the inn to rest, and then went to Qianfeng Restaurant with Old Monkey. The eldest young master of the Lu family had prepared a table of wine and food. When Old Monkey came back, he saw seven or eight moths flapping in his lantern.

His face suddenly looked much better.

"How about it, Mr. Monkey, can that boy do it?"

But after sitting down and putting away the lantern, he was still worried and looked at the old monkey intently.

"There is no one more suitable than him."

The old monkey smiled, drank a cup of wine, and said, "Don't worry, I can read people accurately."

"This is just a young kid who has just come out of the world. He seems to know some rules and was taught by his elders. He has never really come out."

"And although he endured it, it was obvious that he really couldn't accept my unique skill. This shows that he is definitely not in the treasure-holding industry. Otherwise, even if he has never done it, he has seen it before.

, the reaction wouldn’t be so big.”

"..."

Listening to what he said, Master Lu also lost his doubts and became a little hopeful: "Have you got the eight-character hair?"

"That's not true."

The old monkey shook his head and said: "After all, he is a watcher of the year, and he is very cautious. I can't go up and snatch it away? These old bones are not enough for him to tear apart."

Young Master Lu looked a little regretful, shook his head, and whispered: "What's his name?"

The old monkey chuckled and called for paper and pen, but did not write.

Master Lu laughed helplessly, pointed out three fingers, and said, "Old Monkey Spirit, three hundred taels is enough, right?"

"Enough is enough."

The old monkey agreed with a smile, wrote a few words on the paper, rolled it into a ball, threw it to Master Lu, and said with a smile: "This is a real name. I asked about his brother, and his name is the same. I heard

They look like they are of the same generation..."

"That's good. If you can keep a New Year's Watcher by your side, why not help Master Qingyi? I'll remember this favor."

And Young Master Lu also opened it to take a look, put it away happily, picked up the wine glass, and said: "Here, let me toast you."

"Let's start tomorrow, just hope everything goes well."

"..."

"..."

"They should take action tomorrow."

Similarly, in the inn at this time, Hu Ma seemed to outsiders to be in a low mood and depressed for a while after returning.

Xiao Hongtang next to her looked up at her several times, tentatively asking if she wanted to beat up the monkey squatting on the roof next door, but Hu Ma also shook his head to stop it, and after venting his anger, he still lay there silently.

Went back to bed and slept.

But in the dream, the activity started immediately.

Diguashao has been waiting here for a long time. When he explained these things in detail, Diguashao was obviously a little surprised: "It's called Soul Technique?"

"The old man with the monkey...does one of his eyes look cloudy?"

"..."

Hu Ma nodded: "It's him."

"Hey, it turns out it's this old guy..."

After hearing this, Diguashao sneered and said: "He is also an old man and a scumbag. He was in Mingzhou Mansion earlier and did several major cases, but he was kicked out later."

"I heard that he later joined the Tsing Yi Gang to make a living. However, his reputation was too bad and he had many enemies. Even in the Tsing Yi Gang, he did not dare to reveal his identity. But since he can call souls and is so familiar with it, I think it is probably him.

.”

"He called this soul to break my technique."

"And they call for souls, and they can call up to ten people in one night. If he only called eight, he couldn't be kind-hearted and let the remaining two go."

"There is only one possibility, that is, they have called enough."

"So, I know my senior brother's plan. They will definitely go up the mountain tomorrow."

"..."

"It would be nice if I could let you analyze the information."

Hu Ma and the old monkey were together, although they were passive, but they would ask questions from time to time, trying to find out the time of their actions so that they could burn sweet potatoes.

I didn't expect it, and I didn't ask, but I guessed it from the number of the soul.

He took a low breath, then became a little more solemn, and said to Digua Shao: "By the way, are you familiar with this blind man? Tell me about his weaknesses."

"..."

Diguashao smiled and said: "I'm not familiar with him, but his method is a side sect from our sect, so I can tell you about it."

"What he used, in fact, our sect's superficial knowledge is not as advanced as mine and my senior fellow apprentices. It's called the Impermanent Soul Retention Technique. It can summon the soul of a person and use it to cast spells, but his method is far from perfect."

"If you succeed in learning, you can secretly memorize a person's name and birthday, or even just trace a picture in secret, and burn three sticks of incense at night, you can invite Master Impermanence to summon the soul, and tie a chain around your neck, no matter how big it is.

There’s no point in using my skills.”

"What's even more powerful is that if I shine something on you, I will know your name and date of birth. If you want to use any trick on you, then use whatever trick you want..."

"But before that, there is something important... your name and horoscope haven't been touched by him yet, right?"

"..."

Hearing this, Hu Ma quickly shook his head and said, "He doesn't know."

Because I had suffered a loss in Dayangzhai earlier, I was even more careful when I went out.

Look now...you have to be even more careful in the future.

"That's much better."

Di Guashao said: "Senior, although you are a veteran and must be very capable, you must remember not to let these people know your name."

"Even from this moment on, you have to forget your own name."

"They may not be able to get your horoscope, hair and beard, let alone your essence and blood, but just by knowing your name, they already have many tricks they can use to plot against people."

"..."

"So evil?"

After hearing this, Hu Ma was startled for a moment and said, "Then what if we are acquaintances and face people from the Torture Soul Sect?"

"Hey, let's put it that way!"

Di Guashao said: "Neither of us knows the name of the master until now. Moreover, although the master is nominally an old worshiper of the Tsing Yi Gang, he has always been a loner and lived in isolation. Even if he is a good friend, he does not want to let him go."

My master is close to my husband and doesn’t want to eat at the same table."

"As for my senior brother, he was originally a wealthy family, so the master and I both knew his name at first, but he was also frightened. In the past three or four years, he changed his name three or four times, and asked the maids and servants to call him a different name every day.

.”

"As for me, when I was a child, I lived on the streets and was picked up by my master. I actually remembered my original name, but I just said that I didn't remember it, so my master gave me another name."

"But I have never recognized it in my heart, so of course it cannot be regarded as my real name."

"..."

Hu Ma found it a bit strange: "Do people in your sect have such a hard life?"

Diguashao smiled helplessly and said: "Because we know how to treat others, of course we are careful about others using the same method to treat us."

"Anyway, it's not just ours. There are many more in Xinghun. You just need to pay attention to them all the time."

Immediately, the two chatted about some specific plans for the next day, including what Hu Mah saw and heard at Mr. Lu's place that day, and even the clothes, looks, words and deeds of everyone around him, even their dialects and accents, and the relationship between them.

The names were all mentioned one by one, and then he exited.

At dawn, Hu Ma got up. Before he could finish his breakfast, he heard a commotion downstairs and it was Old Monkey who entered the inn. However, he was dressed in rags and was immediately expelled by the shopkeeper and the waiter.
