As a ghost walker, since he was waiting for the other party to come to his door, how could he be so stupid as to just bring a knife and wait for the other party here?

Of course I wanted to set up the altar, but I just did it in a concealed manner so as not to be noticed by the other party.

It was precisely because he had set up an altar that Hu Ma could safely fight with his opponent. He borrowed the life evil spirit of one of the Five Evil Altar Envoys to practice the special skills of the New Year Keeper that he had recently practiced.

It is also because I am in my own altar that I can use my body to resist the other party's evil spirits. I have an intuitive and real understanding of the power of these five altar evil spirits. Otherwise, just relying on my own behavior as a person to watch the year, even if it is

Can't hold it.

As for the more important reason, it is to prevent the other party from being frightened and running away. There is no way to control it quietly.

Of course, after they actually fought, Hu Ma felt that the idea of ​​using the other party to try out his unique skills was miscalculated, and it was really impossible to try it out.

After all, I have tasted what it's like to be a New Year's Eve watcher like Ji Tang, and others seem a bit dull.

Now, things are going smoothly on his side. Looking at the Fate Messenger who was restrained by his shackles, Hu Ma also let out a low sigh, knowing that the first step of the plan has been completed, and the rest depends on others.

.

After a fight, I found that the Five Evil Altar Envoys were somewhat capable, but as long as they could guard against a single evil breath, they were not very powerful. How could they be their opponents?

The difference just depends on what kind of tricks they do, right?

…

At the same time when Hu Ma was pulling out the flesh demon for the village next to Niujiawan, many things were happening one after another in Mingzhou Prefecture, which was still calm on the surface.

To the northwest of Laoyin Mountain, there is Yuqian Village, which is located at the intersection of Mingzhou and Gunzhou. This village is not very wealthy. Most of the people are farmers and medicinal collectors, but it can produce people who live a long life.

In other places, if a person lives to be fifty or sixty years old, he or she is considered to be old, and to live to be seventy or eighty years old is considered a blessing. But in this village, old people aged seventy or eighty are not uncommon.

Several old people lived to be over a hundred years old.

Naturally, there are also some people in the community who are curious about whether the village has good feng shui, or whether there are any elixirs for extending life, and they often come to see it.

But after looking at it, I found that the feng shui of this village was only average, not the best. After all, it was surrounded by mountains. There were some herbs, but when they were picked and boiled into decoction, they didn't have any more medicinal properties than other places.

"Outsiders can't understand it."

Only some elderly people who are more than seventy years old will occasionally drink too much and tell their younger generations with a smile: "Our village has a spiritual preservation!"

"In the pond behind the village, we don't dare to let the dolls go there and cause mischief, for fear that they will collide with the Xian family!"

"We have seen that there is an old turtle the size of a millstone in the pond. It was chosen to practice in our village. It brought us the shadow and allowed the people in our village to live longer..."

"..."

Whether there really is such an old turtle in the pond behind the village, no one has seen it.

Many old people swore that it existed, and often brought incense and candles as offerings to worship, but no one among the younger generation had ever seen it. After all, the pond was only a few feet long. How could a turtle the size of a millstone be accommodated?

But on this day, several young people in the village suddenly fell ill. They couldn't drink the soup and were almost dying. However, a wandering doctor came over. When he saw the young people, his expression suddenly changed.

, and looked around anxiously.

Finally, as if facing a formidable enemy, he summoned someone and said: "Your village is in big trouble, and there is an old turtle who is borrowing his life..."

"I just want to ask you, are there any young children in the village who die young? There are often no illnesses and no disasters, but suddenly they are gone? Those are all people who have been robbed of their life..."

The villagers were shocked and asked how to explain it. The other party made a calculation and said: "Build a tower on the pond and give it a town. It will give us back the life it borrowed!"

…

…

There is also a small and prosperous village at the foot of a mountain ridge. It is said that the ancestors of this village were originally foot traders. When passing by this place, they were late on their way and rested on the mountain ridge.

When I saw gold and silver dolls playing at the bottom of the stream under the moon, I decided that this was a geomantic treasure land that would bring fortune, so I bought this piece of land from the government and started farming here.

Became Dazhuangzi.

And the descendants of the village are indeed living a prosperous and prosperous life. Many young people in the village go out to do mule and horse business. They are called mule and horse gangs by outsiders and are well-known good farmers in this area.

They remembered the legend of the gold and silver doll passed down orally from their ancestors. Although the gold and silver doll did not belong to the temple and no one had seen it, it was secretly kept in the ancestral hall and they were required to burn incense before doing business.

On this day, a gambler came and pulled two large carts and wanted to bet with others.

I don't think he had any special skills. At first he just guessed the date core in his hand. If he guessed correctly, he would be given a foot of cloth. If he guessed wrong, he would only lose a hard-faced steamed bun in his hand.

The villagers only thought it was a joke and they won twice, but they actually won the cloth. So word spread all of a sudden, and countless people came to watch the fun.

This man seemed stupid and clumsy, losing more than he won. He quickly lost a cart of cloth, then pressed the mules and horses pulling the cart onto it, and took out the copper coins and silver pancakes in the chain to continue gambling.

With.

The villagers were also attracted by this opportunity to make a fortune. A huge gamble was like sticks hitting sparks. The more they gambled, the more intense the gambling was. It lasted for two days in a row.

At this time, several elders in the village who could speak and take care of things fell ill, and they became increasingly unruly.

The people in the village did not know how much they benefited from winning from this gambler. They became more interested in gambling and began to gamble with each other. Instead, they lost and won again and again, all because of this gambler.

But little did they know that the overwhelming anger caused two children, one gold and one silver, to run out of the ancestral hall. They wanted to wash themselves in the stream, but they were caught by the gambler who came out with an excuse to let the water go, and a sack was placed over them.

On the head.

He found a quiet and uninhabited place, tied his mouth with hemp rope, and then whipped him into the sack with a whip.

Finally, when he heard the begging for mercy from inside, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he came back with the sack on his back to continue gambling.

He had lost all the two carts of cloth and other goods he had brought, so he put his hand into the sack and groped for a long time. He took out a gold lump and a silver lump and put them on the table.

Eyes, who cares what he brings.

As the gambling became more and more intense, the man began to win, winning back everything he had lost earlier, and winning an unknown amount of property. The people in the village became increasingly jealous and gnashed their teeth.

…

…

There is also a rich man at the foot of Laoyin Mountain. He built a large house with four rooms, married a three-bedroom wife, and gave birth to four or five children. He has hundreds of acres of fertile farmland and many mules and horses.

Everyone in the neighborhood was envious of him, and they often mentioned that his boss was just a cowherd boy when he was a child, but it was because of his hard work that he had such a large family business.

But on this day, a man came with a chain on his back. He praised the family for raising cattle and sheep well, and then he picked up and picked up. He fell in love with an old cow that was almost unable to get up.

Ask the rich man how much silver he is willing to pay to buy it.

The rich man refused, and just said: "There are many cows in the pen. You can pick them, sir, but these old cows are too old to walk."

"When I was young, I herded cattle for my employer. Later, when my employer moved to the city, I pooled my money to buy it. It was all thanks to its help in plowing the fields and clearing the barren hills that I became able to have this family fortune."

"Now it is old and can no longer work. I want to care for it until the end of its life, not to mention selling it. Now when my son sees it, he has to call him uncle. He can eat the crops in the field if he wants.

We won’t stop you!”

"..."

"Although you have many mules, horses, cattle and sheep, I really only like this one."

The man with the chain on his back said: "I am willing to give up ten taels of gold. If you nod, the cow will belong to me and the gold will belong to you."

The farmer was shocked: "You can't chew old meat, how can it be worth ten taels of gold?"

The man with the chain on his back smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, what I bought was not the cow, but the bezoar in the cow's belly!"

"This thing is a treasure, but only we can use it. You don't know the ropes and don't know how to take it. Even if you just take it out and take it out, you won't be able to sell it for a few taels of silver."

"..."

The dealer approached the letter, looked at the golden little ingot, and finally nodded.

The man with the chain on his back took the cow out on the spot, heated water in the open space, sharpened his knife, and disemboweled the cow.

Perhaps the old cow was so old that he didn't even have the strength to resist. He just knelt down on his knees. The cow's eyes were full of tears. The banker couldn't bear it, but as soon as he touched the twelve taels of gold in his arms, he responded cruelly.

into the house.

With this treasure, the family's fertile land can be added to dozens of acres, which is more than enough to marry a housewife. It's worth it!

He didn't see it, but according to outsiders, it was really eye-opening.

The man did not bleed. He disemboweled the live cow and pulled out its intestines. After a while of searching, he took out a black piece that looked like stone but not stone, and looked like jade but not jade. He left the cow and left it there, with blood flowing all over the floor.

, he kept his eyes wide open until he died.

But that night, in the entire village, the cattle and sheep were restless, the mules and horses were restless, and the windows made a rattling noise.

A long-term worker saw a dozen men in rags coming into the yard, holding bowls in their hands. They got into the farmer's granary and scooped out food one bowl at a time.

Another person got into the cattle and sheep pen and led the animals out.

The rich man hurriedly sounded the gong and called his neighbors and his family's long-term workers to catch the thief. However, when he entered the granary, he found that there was no one inside and the food was still there. There were also many cattle and sheep in the pen.

He fell asleep uneasily, but had a vague dream. He dreamed that the old cow looked at him silently, shook his head slowly, and turned around to leave.

I woke up in panic, and was about to dig out the cow bones, but suddenly I saw that the sky was darkening suddenly, and the fields were misty and ghostly. The cattle were suddenly plagued by plague. Half of them died in the first half of the day, and they died in the second half of the day.

At night, the neighbors' livestock could no longer be fed and began to die.

Immediately, the crops in the fields began to wither in large tracts, and countless rats swarmed out of the barn. The granary was full of holes, and baskets of those that had not been taken out rotted basket by basket.

The world is dark, the villagers are crying, and white paper money is flying everywhere.
