Sure enough!

You see!

Even before coming, Hu Ma was worried that if she sent someone back to the Li family in Dongzi, he would be favored by others and ask for her to be their son-in-law.

It is because of this worry that as soon as I arrive in Anzhou, I first contact the reincarnated people here.

Sure enough, what I was most worried about happened.

Just when he was dumbfounded, the girl Xiang suddenly turned red with embarrassment and pushed Mr. Li.

The Li family man also laughed and said to Hu Ma: "It's just a joke. Don't pay attention, young gentleman. I stay here all day long and don't have many opportunities to talk to others."

"Besides, since Yu'er will come back, it means that I have lost the bet I made before. Although she is the eighth generation, she will continue to pay off the debts of the ancestors of the Li family after all. If she wants to leave, I am afraid that her fate will

Not allowed."

"this……"

Although he was joking, there was still a hint of deeply hidden regret in his eyes.

Hu Ma was silent for a moment, then stood up and saluted, saying: "Old sir, I sent the young lady back because I just thought it was the right thing to do. When there is injustice on the road, I drew my sword to help."

"There are many poor people in this world. As a small shopkeeper of the Blood Food Gang, I can't control too many things. But she is destined to me and the brothers in my village. Since I have the opportunity to send her back to reunite with the master,

Then I sent it back."

"only……"

After a moment of hesitation, he smiled bitterly and said, "Why does it seem like I did something unnecessary and harmed the young lady?"

"ah?"

Hearing this, the Xiang girl was already a little panicked and eager to explain.

Mr. Li patted her arm and signaled her not to be anxious. He sighed softly and said to Hu Ma, "Young gentleman, please don't say that."

"I still understand the principle that human affairs and destiny should be discussed separately. Guidongzi refuses to let go of me, the eighth generation of the Li family. That is a matter in the dark and a debt of the Li family, but it is a matter of etiquette and justice.

The problem is sir, this is a favor to the Li family."

"..."

"Destiny for human affairs?"

Hu Ma's heart tightened slightly, and she thought about the previous conversation with Butler Zhou.

In my opinion, everything is just a coincidence. Even if I change my thoughts slightly, the fate of Xiang Yatou will be different.

But Butler Zhou believed that there was some hidden force driving these things, and if Butler Zhou was inferior in ability after all, this Mr. Li's family seemed to be more convinced than him.

Even I actually vaguely believed it.

"Ghosts and gods cannot be bullied!"

The master of the Li family also glanced at Xiang Yatou, with deep helplessness in his eyes, and said: "She can be rescued by you, and she has lived a comfortable life in your village for a few months, which is a rare lightness in her life.

"

"The fact that you worked so hard to escort her back is a testament to the virtue accumulated by the Li family of Dongzi who have guarded the ghost cave for generations."

"Actually, although I had this thought at the time, I regretted it afterwards. It is hard to disobey the emperor's order, and no ghosts or gods can deceive her. I was just afraid that because of me, she would not be able to escape, but would suffer extra pain and torture..."

"..."

As he spoke, he seemed to let go, and sighed softly, saying: "The Li family will never be able to live without this cave."

"This debt can be repaid in more than seven generations."

"..."

"debt?"

Hu Ma heard these things from Xiang Yatou before, but she wasn't very clear about it.

He looked up and could see that the inside of the cave was very deep, as if there was a huge deep well. When looking from the outside, he could see a huge round stone sitting on the mountain. Now inside, he could see it clearly.

.

It is more like the boulder is directly pressing on the well, and this cave connected to the outside world is the only hole that can lead to the outside world after being pressed on.

What debt are the Li family paying by staying here?

He kept saying that the emperor's orders were hard to disobey, but the emperor had been skinned, and now the government was in name only. How could the Li family be so determined to pay off their debts after they were prisoners?

Mr. Li could notice Hu Ma's eyes looking inside, and could feel his doubts.

He seemed to be pondering slightly, thinking about whether he should tell him. After thinking about it in his heart, he looked at Hu Ma and said slowly: "There is a reason why Dongzi's Li family stayed here. Mr. Xiao, have you ever heard of this?"

Are there evil spirits crawling out of hell and hiding in the human world, doing evil?"

"Evil ghosts, hiding in the human world?"

Hu Ma was startled for a moment, then her heart suddenly jumped: "Are you talking about us reincarnations?"

At this moment, Leng Buding felt a little numb, but he controlled his face and changed his expression to slightly surprised, saying: "Then it's true."

"Evil spirits are everywhere in Mingzhou. There used to be evil spirits in blue who wreaked havoc in the area, and the people suffered greatly from it."

"We in the Blood Food Gang make a living by harvesting blood food, but we are all responsible for controlling these evil spirits and preventing them from causing harm."

"..."

"Haha, that's not what I mean."

The master of the Li family did not become suspicious. He smiled faintly and said: "The evil spirits you mentioned are just some evil spirits in the world. They are influenced by Tai Sui and change. Some of them are indeed very harmful, but in the end they are

If you know its origin, you can restrain it."

"The evil spirits I'm talking about are the most difficult to understand and the most terrifying type."

"They are everywhere, hiding in the world. They are standing right in front of you. You can't see their true face, and you can't understand what they are going to do..."

"..."

As he spoke, he paused, sighed softly, and said, "Of course, it's a good thing that you don't know these things."

"These evil spirits are extremely vigilant. Once someone knows of their existence, they will kill them."

"..."

'Really you mean us?'

Hu Ma was extremely shocked. As she thought to herself, she also looked at the deep well hidden in the darkness in front of her with surprise. Endless shock and questions welled up in her heart.

Did the reincarnated person really crawl out of this place?

Is the Li family guarding the ghost cave just to prevent more reincarnations from coming to this world?

If so, what is at the other end of the ghost cave? Could it be the place where the reincarnated people come from, or their previous lives?

She was extremely shocked, but she tried to control her expression, pretending to try to understand, and slowly said to the Li family master: "Then what do these evil spirits have to do with the debts borne by the Li family?"

"The emergence of the ghost cave is related to the ancestors of the Li family. Of course we have to repay the debt."

The Li family master sighed lowly and said: "That year, when Tai Sui was born, evil spirits were spreading. The Imperial Master invited all the strangers to come to the capital for a grand ceremony, and set up thirty-six large altars in various places to offer sacrifices to the earth and heaven, and to ask questions about ghosts and gods.

I want to know the origin of Tai Sui’s flesh and blood.”

"Unexpectedly, the origin of Tai Sui was not revealed, but it caused great chaos in the world. Yin and Yang were out of order, evil spirits multiplied, and the world became as evil as it is now."

"The ancestors of my Li family were one of the people who participated in that great sacrifice."

"Having caused such a big disaster, I should have been beheaded, but these places still need someone to guard them. This is why I got a glimmer of hope and was sent here to guard them for generations."

"The Imperial Master once said before my ancestors of the Li family came here that this debt can be repaid in seven generations."

"But thinking about it, the Imperial Master also made a mistake in his calculations. It seems that this will last for more than seven generations, and it will last for eternity..."

"..."

"The Capital Festival?"

This was the first time Hu Ma heard this word, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

This ghost cave was one of the altars used for the great sacrifice that year?

Was it really because of that great sacrifice that the reincarnated people came to this world and struggled to survive?

For a time, the curiosity in my heart reached its peak, and I didn’t know how many questions I wanted to ask.

But the master of the Li family smiled helplessly and suddenly said to Hu Ma, "Young gentleman, you really don't want to marry Yu'er?"

"Seeing that you are curious, you will know all these things after you married Yu'er."

"..."

"ah?"

Hu Ma was stunned for a moment, why was this man joking again?

But it was also from his smiling eyes that he remembered what Xiang Yatou had told him back then.

Don't ask too much about the ghost cave. If you ask too much, you will be taken away by the things in the cave.
