Chapter 151 Paper Man Exploring the Path (1st update)

The one hiding in the ancestral hall must be Sweet Potato Shao, right?

 He said that he had already taken action in advance, which corresponded to what Young Master Lu said.

It’s just that this guy is actually a woman?

Earlier, I heard that her voice was a bit shrill, more like a female voice, but I thought she had changed her voice on purpose and didn't think about it further. Now it seems that she really used the original voice...

 …These newbies are so unprofessional!

Of course, even if she concealed this information, Hu Ma couldn't say anything.

She has already told her everything about her background and the things she needs to pay attention to. Gender is not a big deal.

However, his slightly meditative look was caught by Young Master Lu. He suddenly turned his head to look at Hu Ma and said with a smile:

 “Brother Zhou, do you have something to say?”

　　　…”

Hu Ma was also slightly startled. She met his gaze and said simply: "Since we are about to set off, what are the regulations? Could you please tell me what the regulations are?"

After asking, he seemed embarrassed and said: "It's not that we don't understand the rules, but I just know it better so that I can help my boss."

“Just like yesterday, we didn’t understand anything, but we were frightened by the old gentleman.”

　　　…”

  “Also good.”

Young Master Lu glanced at Hu Ma and saw his magnanimous expression. He also glanced at the other people he invited, many of whom showed suspicion and hesitation, and said, "I said earlier that I asked you to come here to help me." Take a treasure."

"To be honest, this treasure was planted by my master more than ten years ago."

"And in order to prevent the treasure from being targeted by others before it is completed, or an accident, some measures are deployed around it."

“Now, junior sister and I will seize this treasure and do a good job.”

"But our master has said that he is not partial. Who of us can take this treasure depends on our own abilities."

“It can be said that he has three unique skills. Junior sister learned two of them, but I only learned one.”

“In addition, I, my junior sister, are really the few shameless, despicable and cunning women I have ever seen in my life. They know how to coax the old man..."

“…The master is very happy. He has already figured out the situation around his treasure, and he rushed there three days earlier than me.”

"Now that I have lost the initiative, I have no other option."

"I have to get there before she succeeds, I also have to be prepared to defeat the tricks left by the master, and I have to guard against the dirty tricks my junior sister has laid for me. The reason why I invited you here is to take advantage of everyone's skills. , broke her insidious tricks for me."

　　　…”

After hearing this, everyone felt that the rules of this sect were very evil.

Huma compared them one by one and felt that what he said was similar to what Sweet Potato Shao said before.

It can be seen that this young master Lu is not a simple person.

 People in previous lives have already figured out the formula that lies are divided into seven parts truth and three parts falsehood, but he certainly didn’t know it, but relied on his own shrewdness to learn it without any teacher.

Now when he talks about these things, he only appears to be magnanimous, angry, and unwilling. No matter how seasoned a charlatan is, he cannot see any flaws in his words.

The only thing that makes me a little surprised is, what did Sweet Potato Burning do? Why did he make this senior brother so angry?

“Since you guys are helping me, I won’t be stingy.”

Seeing that no one had any objections, Lu Da smiled and said, "Although I feel a little tired after eating these in the morning, you guys should bear with them!"

While he was talking, the servant outside had already brought out a small tray, with small blue and white bowls placed on it. They were full of meat cut into strips, mostly lean meat.

 “Is this Qing Tai Sui?”

The small bowls were placed in front of them. Someone took a breath, and his face suddenly changed: "Young Master Lu is so generous."

The young master Lu smiled and said, "What's this? After we've done this, I'll treat you all to a drink of the best secret blood wine."

While everyone was a little excited, only Hu Ma and the dull-looking man showed no special behavior. The dull-looking man smashed it with chopsticks and didn't seem to know what it was.

The other people could no longer hold themselves back and started eating. Hu Ma watched from the side and got a general understanding of this "jianghu".

It seems that people who live in the world are not as wealthy as they think. A bowl of green food like this is naturally a good thing.

 But I didn’t lack much of these in Zhuangzi. Even Zhou Datong could have a bowl of this to satisfy his cravings from time to time.

 But they didn’t seem to eat much, and they all regarded it as rare supplements.

 The old monkey and Young Master Lu ate a few mouthfuls and then started to pack their things.

Hu Ma paid attention. They led a donkey cart into the yard and put a few bundles on it, as well as a few lifelike paper figures. However, there were no eyes in the eye sockets. They looked hollow and pale, with blush on their cheeks. Bright and strange.

 The other is a white lantern, exactly the type that Old Monkey mentioned yesterday, only larger.

 It is not lit now, but I don’t know if there are any moths inside.

Seeing how serious the preparations were by the boss, a few workers also pretended to prepare.

The two men with sallow faces had sharpened their weapons, but they were both swordsmen.

The wielder of the flying knives opened his waist pouch and checked, only to find two rows of throwing knives inside, with a total of eight knives in total. They looked very sharp.

 Only Hu Ma and the dull brother looked at each other, then lowered their heads to eat.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher, everyone wiped their mouths and followed Mr. Lu out. They surrounded the donkey cart, but it was full of things and no one got on it. They just followed behind. , step by step out of the town, walking towards the west. After walking for about twenty or thirty miles, we saw that the road was becoming more and more desolate. There were traces of farmland around it, but it was already overgrown with weeds.

Looking up, I saw that I was already at the base of a mountain. It was not a mountain range as big as Laoyin Mountain. It was just a small patch of earth, but it looked shady and lush.

There is a large pine and cypress tree planted on it. It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, but it does not feel full of vitality. Instead, there are mostly weeds under the feet, withered and withered, which makes people feel a little scared just looking at it.

Over the head, at some point, a dark cloud floated, even covering the sun.

　　Everyone followed the donkey cart to the foot of the mountain. Looking ahead, they saw a path that was almost submerged in grass winding up the mountain.

I don’t know why, but I feel a little nervous in my heart.

 “The Ma family ancestral hall is on the mountain.”

 That Young Master Lu also stopped and said to everyone: "Although it is daytime, everyone should be more cautious."

“My junior sister’s skills are amazing even during the day!”

　　　…”

As he spoke, he took out a black cloth belt from his arms and covered the donkey's eyes.

The donkey held its head high at first and refused to be covered, but in the end he slapped its mouth and tied it to the donkey's head.

After covering the donkey's head, he took down a copper basin from the cart.

Hima took a closer look and saw that there were a lot of dirt and black spots on the copper basin. It looked like it had been used for a long time.

Looking at it carefully, there was an uncomfortable yin feeling, and I knew in my heart that this must be an old object. If I took it, it would be quite useful for practicing the techniques in the book on New Year's Eve...

 …The torture of souls has a lot in common with wandering ghosts.

 Booking.

The copper basin was placed in the middle of the mountain road, and Young Master Lu took another paper figurine from the car.

One hand lifted it, and the other hand took out a simple ink cartridge from his arms, took out a pen from it, dipped it in the ink that was half black and half red, and didn't know how to make it, and wrote it on the paper figure. There was a slight tap in the two white eye sockets.

 “Go and explore the mountain!”

Putting away the ink cartridge, he reached out and took the blowing fire stick from the old monkey, and lit the paper man on fire.

The paper ashes flew up and fell into the copper basin in front of him.

 Until it was half burned, he put the paper figure completely into the basin, then squatted down and looked at it carefully.

　　Until the paper figurine was burned out, he picked up the basin, faced the ashes in the basin, recited something silently, and then tipped the basin downwards.

 Seeing him, he saw bursts of paper dust flying towards the mountain, following the wind in the mountain. After he finished doing this, he stared at it without blinking.

Those with short eyesight will see the ashes fly away with the wind, and they will fly away.

But those with a keen eye can see that some of these fly ash flew with the mountain wind and never landed.

　　It was floating and drifting, as if it was flying towards the top of the mountain.

But it only flew more than a dozen feet, and before turning around the foot of the mountain, a sudden gust of cold wind blew down from the mountain. The fly ash was immediately swept back, and it suddenly blew into Master Lu's face.

He hurriedly waved his sleeves to brush away the fly ash, almost falling, and his face looked gloomy and terrifying.

"My junior sister, her spiritual practice is getting deeper and deeper..."

He gritted his teeth, stared in the direction of the mountain, and whispered: "Gentlemen, let's go!"

No one knew what he had just asked the paper man to explore the road and what he had discovered, but looking at it clearly, they knew that it was not going well, so Ai Ai kept moving every time.

On the other hand, the eldest son of the Lu family quickly reacted and turned around.

His face softened slightly, and he looked at the person behind him, but he was the one who was good at throwing knives, and said: "Master Qiao, I will rely on your skill of throwing knives later. Let's go up the path. If When something appeared next to him, I stabbed him with a knife."

 “Give me the throwing knife first.”

　　　…”

The man who wielded the flying knife hurriedly agreed and took off his belt bag.

Young Master Lu took it over, scratched it with his fingers, and wrote something on the flying knife, then handed it back to him. No changes could be seen.

 The man who wielded the knife lowered his voice and said, "Master, what kind of talisman did you draw?"

 “It’s not a talisman, it’s a curse.”

Young Master Lu said: "I cast our soul-torture spell on the flying knife. If my junior sister sends something, your flying knife can hit it, but it can't hurt it. If I add it, The curse can hurt those things."

“However, my skill is still weak after all. I can only maintain it for one stick of incense at most, and then I have to cast the spell again. You must be more accurate later.”

"Yes Yes."

The man who threw the knife nodded repeatedly and hesitated: "It's done, I don't want the money. Can you pass this curse on to me?"

Master Lu looked at him in surprise and said calmly: "Let's discuss it later."
