Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 297 The Red and White Agreement (Another Update Seeking Tickets)
Seeing Miss Red Wine sitting among everyone like a martial arts alliance leader, steering the conversation, Hu Ma gradually understood and felt deep admiration.
The greatest seclusion is in the world. Miss Red Wine and the others aren't truly fearless and reckless. They are hidden in this martial world, deeply understanding the rules, stirring up trouble, and only giving a push at crucial moments.
Thinking like this, Hu Ma felt that perhaps Miss Red Wine and the others were more like the great evil lurking in this world.
The transmigrators in Mingzhou were just closing their doors to reap benefits, living their own little lives, happily chatting, and playing nurturing games.
But the Anzhou transmigrators, led by Miss Red Wine, had already begun to secretly build momentum and manipulate people's hearts.
However,
Wasn't it very risky to play like this?
Hu Ma suddenly understood why Miss White Wine had left them.
Playing with someone as bold as her must be very unsettling.
Furthermore, another question increasingly surfaced in Hu Ma's mind: Why was Miss Red Wine being so good to him?
He had only met her for less than half a month, but in that half-month, she had taught him about this martial world, helped him with the Dongzi Li family's affairs, helped him obtain the Shou Suiren (Night Watcher) inheritance, and pointed out his weaknesses.
Hu Ma also smiled and replied. Their eyes met, and he only saw her eyes curved in a smile. She blinked flirtatiously and then drifted away.
"Is this soul-searching method really reliable?"
In the end, the soul search lasted all night.
After all, even their own people needed to start as newcomers, but she seemed to have allowed him to access some of the core secrets of the Anzhou transmigrator organization in a very short time.
Was it really because of a letter from Miss White Wine that she treated him as one of their own?
Even if he was one of their own, there was no reason to be so generous, right?
Everyone present was filled with righteous indignation and made several decisions together.
Hu Ma watched from the side for a while and felt it was a bit bizarre. This was a major event concerning his entry into the Fu (mansion) cultivation method. What if the chicken claw scratched the wrong spot?
With a consensus reached, the martial world people chose a young-looking person dressed in brocade robes with an extraordinary identity. It was said that one of his beloved concubines had been kidnapped by the Beggar Gang.
He immediately had someone prepare a ten-foot-wide black cloth to surround the courtyard, lit a lamp beside him, took the Kongming lantern from Miss Red Wine's hand, released the moth, placed a sandbox in front of him, held a rooster in his arms, and began the long and mysterious soul-searching ritual.
"Yes, it's truly eye-opening."
It was said that Ji Tang's living soul confessed to many things, including the treasures hidden by the Beggar Gang over the years, some Beggar Gang members who had not revealed their identities and were still hidden everywhere as enshrined protectors, and some extremely unsavory secrets.
Looking at her back, Hu Ma couldn't help but wonder: Is this person a transmigrator, or are they interested in me?
Every so often, he would stare at the marks scratched out by the rooster and read them carefully, and then someone beside him would carefully record them one by one.
The moth fluttered in the Kongming lantern, and the rooster in his arms kept scratching the sandbox with its two claws.
"The Wei family of Weibei has been in charge of punishments for generations. Their inherited skills are truly remarkable."
While thinking about it, a plump woman wearing flowing gauze, who didn't look like she had a proper profession, came to his side and smiled, "He understands the art of questioning souls and is also skilled in netherworld script. He can ask everything in detail."
While silently wondering which of the various martial world people at these tables with tiger masks were transmigrators and which were just people who had been unknowingly influenced by transmigrators, the intense discussions had already reached a consensus.
Was she really naturally reckless?
If she was really so reckless, would so many people in the Anzhou transmigrator organization still be willing to play with her?
First, completely clean up this group of scum from the Beggar Gang, and second, search Ji Tang's soul, obtain his evidence, and hand him over to the government.
Now that he had seen too many at once, he felt a sense of paranoia.
Now, she even showed him the ambitions of the Anzhou transmigrator organization and their "methods" without reservation.
The most exciting thing was that, through Ji Tang's confession, a group of women and children who had not yet been sold, guarded by two beggars, were found in a mountain窝 (窝 wo: a small enclosed or sheltered place).
They chose to report to the authorities, resulting in a happy ending for everyone. Everyone was beaming with joy, feeling that they had done something extremely meaningful.
Clearly, usually, none of them put the government in their eyes, but when the head constable looked moved and thanked these martial world people for their righteous actions, they were all so happy that it seemed like flowers were blooming on their faces.
Hu Ma didn't see some of the last things with his own eyes.
The next morning, after receiving a scroll of things that Madam Han handed to him, he packed his things and embarked on the road south back to Mingzhou.
For these martial world people in Anzhou and some in Pingnan Prefecture, he was just a small shopkeeper from Mingzhou who had joined hands with Madam Han to eliminate the Beggar Gang, a major sore, and then declined the invitations of his martial world fellows and embarked on his return journey.
Leaving behind a reputation, waving his sleeves, and only taking away two large baskets of blood food
And a final message that Miss Red Wine had specially pondered for a long time in her natal spirit temple, asking him to memorize word by word, specifically to be told to Miss White Wine.
The content of the letter was quite embarrassing, but shouldn't it be said?
"That guy just left like that?"
Similarly, after Hu Ma left in a carriage, Miss Red Wine stood at the intersection of Niutou Town and watched him go. When his figure was already submerged in the dust, a man in black robes came to her side.
Smiling, he said, "He seems to be in a hurry. I wonder if our way of doing things scared him."
"After all, he's with Miss White Wine. I guess he's not used to our recklessness."
""
"Counting it, he's probably the luckiest newcomer in recent years, right?"
Before he finished speaking, a plump woman wearing thin gauze appeared beside him again and said with a faint smile, "He wasn't formally accepted, and he didn't have to pass three trials and kill four gates, but he was treated as one of our own."
"All the important skills were taught to him, and even our own secrets were almost completely revealed to him."
"Sister Red, although you are famous for being righteous in our circle, and we all trust you, I still think you're being a little too good to him."
"So, what exactly was written in that letter?"
""
Miss Red Wine was silent for a moment before saying, "Little White didn't say much, but just came up and asked me if I was dead, if my secrets had been leaked, and if the promise we made before, that if I leaked my secrets, I would destroy my own divine soul, still counted."
"Then she said that if the above problems hadn't occurred, then she would entrust me with something."
"The person who sent the letter is of great use to her. She has a very important matter and is still counting on him, and she also wants him to learn skills quickly."
"It's just that it's inconvenient for her to come forward herself, so she entrusted it to me to do, so that I can teach him more things so that he can live better in this world."
""
"That's it?"
The people on the left and right were a little surprised after hearing her words.
They were also working hard to cooperate with Miss Red Wine's behavior, which was obviously specifically training that newcomer later, even if some things already belonged to the scope that transmigrators were worried about revealing their secrets and would not easily agree to.
The reason was that they believed that Miss Red Wine's actions must have a reason, and she would explain it to them.
But this crucial letter only said these things?
"Indeed, it only said these things."
Miss Red Wine replied with a smile. Seeing the somewhat astonished expressions of the two people, she suddenly smiled and said, "However, there are some things you don't know."
"When Little White was dissatisfied with me doing things so high-profile and decided to leave, she actually made an agreement with me."
"She said"
""
After a pause, she looked at the two curious people and whispered, "She doesn't want to be involved in the second purge, so she doesn't plan to look for me again after she leaves."
"She even made me swear that if one day I leaked my secrets, I would destroy my own divine soul to avoid involving other people."
""
Hearing this, the faces of the two people beside her were slightly solemn. They knew that Miss Red Wine had this curse on her body and that it was related to Miss White Wine, but thinking about it carefully, they still felt that this agreement was a bit
Cold.
"However, although she said it very decisively and said that she wouldn't see me again after she left, there are two exceptions."
Miss Red Wine said, but then smiled again, her eyes curving, "One is that if I die, she will come to mourn me no matter how big the risk."
"The second is when she finds a way to save my life."
""
""
Similarly, when Hu Ma left Pingnan Prefecture, the Dongzi Li family in Lingshou Prefecture, Dashitou Cliff, had someone from outside the mansion holding a candle and entering the Dongzi, saying in a low voice, "The benefactor has successfully left Pingnan Prefecture and joined forces with Madam Han to eliminate Ji Tang of the Beggar Gang."
"That's good."
The Li family's master nodded gently and sighed, "Madam Han knows how to reciprocate favors. She knows how to help us, who are inconvenient to come forward, protect our benefactor. In the future, we can ask her for help if something happens."
"But after all, he is just a small shopkeeper who has not yet entered the Fu. Is it appropriate for the master to entrust the token to him and have him travel back alone?"
The person holding the candle said halfway and couldn't continue, obviously feeling that it was inappropriate.
But the Li family master was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly looked at him and smiled, "Liangzhong, do you believe in fate?"
"If I say that this little shopkeeper's fate is heavier than Xiang Yu's, would you believe it?"
