Chapter 512 The Ungreedy Little Ghost Checks In

"Huh?" Erguotou was clearly taken aback by Hu Ma's question, asking, "Why are you asking such a strange question?"

"If you were asking me about methods for moving wealth, there would be plenty. Five Ghosts Carry Wealth, Move Gold Steal Jade, Replace the Beams and Pillars, all sorts of bizarre things. But the moment blood offerings are involved, many of the techniques in those methods immediately become unusable..." He truly lived up to his title as a great wandering ghost of the mansion, rattling off explanations as soon as he heard Hu Ma's words. "Take 'Replace the Beams and Pillars,' for example. Other things can be easily swapped, but blood offerings are different. Even if you cast the spell ten times, you still couldn't exchange for it."

"Sometimes, not only will the technique fail, but you'll also suffer a backlash!"

"Or consider the wall-penetration technique. If you learn this method, wouldn't it be as easy as turning your hand to pass through walls and houses and take things? But blood offerings are the exception. You can go in, but you can't bring the blood offering out. Of course, there is one way: you could go through the wall, eat your fill, and then come out. Theoretically, that would work, but how much could you actually eat?"

"In all my years in this world, the only successful case I've heard of was a master of the acrobatics school who once managed to transport the blood offerings harvested by a blood offering gang."

"But that's the problem: when people from the acrobatics school cast spells, how do you know if it's real or fake? It's highly likely they bribed the guards, secretly moved the offering out, and then tricked you into thinking they used magic."

Diguashao was so moved he almost cried: "Junior, he's too bad for you, please tell me, you're willing to do anything."

"You're also free, planning to find that Biluochun junior you once met, inquire about information, and incidentally cross a bridge. You originally wanted to settle Mei Hua Alley before leaving, but..." Hu Ma listened, finding it all quite bizarre. This Diguashao who feared neither heaven nor earth, was actually showing a hint of worry in his voice? Da Hongtang's eyes lit up when she saw the round meatball. She stuffed it into her mouth in one bite, and her anger vanished instantly. She happily took Hu Ma's hand.

"I'm still in Ming Prefecture, just haven't gone far yet, when I received the letter Xu Xiangzhu sent me."

And Hu Ma, after carefully considering everything, directly called out to Diguashao again. The other party seemed to be waiting, responding immediately and anxiously, "I'm here, Senior, I've been here. I was just thinking about how to do this..."

"It's just..."

"...They've done this kind of shameless thing more than a few times. The tricks they have are mostly nine parts fake and one part real. You never know which is which."

She suddenly became a little worried, and timidly said, "But Senior, in that case, finding work, planning, the aftermath, even the execution, will all be done by you. Won't you be..."

"...Taking me along?"

First, he went to the north side of the town to check the location of the two blood offering warehouses mentioned by the Left Protector. He thoroughly investigated the surrounding terrain, layout, and manpower.

That night, the discussion went very smoothly. Diguashao thumped his chest, and Hu Ma felt relieved. The next morning, he got up early, had breakfast at the Left Protector's place, and then said goodbye.

Erguotou sighed and said, "Last time in Shi Ma Town, when I found out about these messages, Miss Bai Putao had already left Ming Prefecture, perhaps to An Prefecture, perhaps to the Imperial City. But she didn't tell me."

Da Hongtang turned her head away, huffing, and said, "Brother Hu Ma came back without waiting for me. I couldn't see you, and I searched for a long time without finding you."

Hu Ma immediately understood. Actually, the relationship between people and ghost servants wasn't always one of constant clinging. Many people only burn incense and summon the ghost when they need to give instructions.

"Alright, alright."

"After all, he's familiar with that noble, so he can help you keep an eye on the Red Lantern Society. Da Hongtang is timid, and Han Gangxi is just a brute..." An envoy ghost who doesn't crave blood offerings truly sounds like a fantasy, but the key was that Hu Ma also sighed along with him, but he secretly confirmed this point and couldn't help but jump a few times.

Diguashao took a deep breath, his admiration for Hu Ma welling up: "In such a short time, you've thought of a way to transport even blood offerings? Senior's abilities are indeed as Seven Erguotou and Miss Bai Putao said, unfathomable!"

"Brother, you're oversimplifying things."

"Then you don't need to worry. We're our own people, would I trick you?" But Da Hongtang was indeed used to following him every day. She could find him by the scent over short distances, but she couldn't find him if he was too far away. He had to burn incense for her to find him.

Da Hongtang immediately nodded vigorously, carefully putting the blood offering pill into the basket, showing no greed at all. She didn't even try to stuff it directly into her mouth, which immediately made Hu Ma even more uneasy.

"...Erguotou heard this and smiled bitterly, "I'm a wandering ghost, I've seen more little ghosts than you have. In all these years, I've never heard of a little ghost who doesn't crave blood offerings."

"That you do not have to worry about, I have just now thought of a way."

"1.p"

Hu Ma immediately put on an ingratiating smile and said, "Da Hongtang, how have you become even more beautiful?"

Hu Ma was speechless: "We don't need such ruthless people for now. We need to do this in a high-profile manner."

If Hongtang Jie could have delivered meals to him back then, then this transport of blood offerings...

"That violates the nature of little ghosts. Even the most obedient little ghost can't help but stuff its mouth when it smells the scent of blood offerings, and the more it stuffs, the more it loses control. Even the most obedient little ghost will become mad..."

"Besides, our Red Lantern Society is full of hidden talents. How could we let outsiders bully us?"

Back when he was still in Da Yang Village, Da Hongtang used to come to bring him meals for Grandma every day. It was a direct delivery, not even packed in jars. She would just carry it in a basket and smell the scent of blood offering all the way, but she could still resist eating it.

Erguotou heard this and smiled, saying, "Anyway, if you want me to tell you, the only way to get a batch of blood offerings is to rely on real ability, charge in openly and honestly, and take it back!"

"Why don't we just find a group of people and charge in? To be honest with you, Senior, I also know some friends in the martial world, ruthless people who lick blood from their blades..."

"If there was a way, how could the Blood Offering Gang's business be so profitable?"

Erguotou was puzzled by Hu Ma's strange questions and tentatively asked, "Could it also be related to that noble in Old Yin Mountain?"

"You see, there are many little ghosts, some born from souls, some from graves, some from grievances, and some from injustices. Some have more spiritual energy, some are more clumsy. Among so many little ghosts, can't we find one who knows how to transport blood offerings?"

Da Hongtang! As he said this, he sighed, feeling depressed about his bad luck, but now that things had come to this, he directly said, "But compared to our matters, the affairs of this prefecture are trivial. Now that you've returned to Ming Prefecture, then I won't turn back."

Feeling guilty, he hurriedly said, "I came back by magic, I couldn't wait for you. I'll pay attention next time."

"See, I know you're hungry. I prepared a blood offering pill for you?"

Da Hongtang was shocked and dared not believe it when another round blood offering pill appeared in front of her.

"Furthermore, I also thought about it, and there are still some small jobs you can do."

"..." Stable.

"..." And as Hu Ma handed it to her, he smiled and said, "It's not good to eat too much of this, so, let's go back to the manor first. After we return to the manor, how about eating then?"

And as Hu Ma looked at her, he took out the only remaining blood offering pill on his body and smiled, "One isn't enough, there's more!"

"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly think of this question?"

Although she also had an obsession with blood offerings and craved them like crazy when she saw them, she was clearly more sensible than other little ghosts! Feeling amused, he only smiled faintly and said, "We are both reincarnators, natural allies. This time, even if you contribute less, I would still bring you along. After all, it's good to get more practice."

"That matter doesn't need you to worry about. I just thought of a way."

"...Listening to his emotional sigh, Hu Ma also sighed and slowly began to probe, "Is there really no way?"

Hu Ma immediately felt a sense of respect, and then sighed, "Brother, you take care of your own matters. Don't worry about the situation in Ming Prefecture, we are all our own people."

"Usually, if I weren't watching over them, the two of you would be sold and still counting the money..." After some assurances, Qi Erguotou finally felt relieved. After more instructions, Hu Ma asked him about the Seven Ghosts Carry Wealth method, and he explained everything in detail. Only then did he go to the West Mountain Road. Hu Ma followed his words, paused for a moment, as if in thought, and then said, "What if we could find a little ghost who doesn't crave blood offerings?"

""."

"Yes..."

"My..."

There was one right next to him! "This matter doesn't need him to worry about, you just now still thought of a way."

"That matter you also don't need to control, I have just now already thought of a way."

Hu Ma's heart was filled with guilt, and he hurriedly said, "I came back by casting a spell, I couldn't wait for you. I'll pay attention next time."

"Did you see, I know you are hungry, so I prepared a blood offering pill for you?"

Da Hongtang looked at another round blood offering pill, and was shocked she did not dare to believe it.

"Moreover, I also had thought about it, and still had some small matters that could let him be doing."

“"."
After confirming the location, Hu Ma quietly left, rode his horse, found a secluded and uninhabited place in the wilderness, then lit incense, and silently waited for Da Hongtang to come over. This time, he waited for a full half an hour before Da Hongtang appeared dejectedly on the grave beside him.

On one side, the Xu Xiangzhu of the Red Lantern Society, worried about accidents, personally led the gang to guard this place.

As Zheli Jiao's followers came to Ming Prefecture, they were always guard the rules, and naturally did not will strongly occupy, but it seemed they was also worried about the Red Lantern Society will privately do some something, then here set up a few altar, watching you.

Hu Ma listened to you so careful, and was also unable to let out a smile, way: "A mere Jiao's a few altar of the soldiers only, at most involve in one or two Ru Fu, you probably will not has a problem right?"

On one side was the Red Lantern Society's Xu Xiangzhu, worried about accidents, and personally led a gang to guard this place.

As for the disciples of the True Logic Sect, since arriving in Ming Prefecture, they have always adhered to the rules, so naturally they would not forcefully occupy it. However, it seemed they were also worried that the Red Lantern Society would do something in private, so they erected several altars here to keep an eye on them.
