Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 227 Golden Silk Tai Sui
Hu Ma’s heart fluttered for a moment.
In Ming Prefecture, the four of them working together had already brought many conveniences and garnered a lot of information.
If they went to the big city of An Prefecture, where there were more Reincarnators, how much more information would there be?
For him to understand this world and gather information, it could be said to be an extremely beneficial thing…
Moreover, just sending a letter to An Prefecture was something he could do easily.
But even though he was already tempted, he still remembered his previous agreement with Miss White Wine, and he said softly, "Then this matter, and Xiang girl’s matter…”
“The two are not the same thing, but they can certainly be done together."
Miss White Wine said, “The Reincarnator organization in An Prefecture is not simple. In fact, it’s a bit stronger than ours here. You’re sending someone back to the Big Stone Cliff in Lingshou Prefecture, which is perfect for helping me send this letter back. After you deliver the letter, you'll also be in contact with them."
“If the affairs of the Ghost Cave Li family are easy to handle, then just take care of them.”
“If you really get involved in some trouble, then having the Reincarnators there to help you, whether it's to escape danger or make other plans, will be easier.”
“…”
“Ah…”
Hu Ma was slightly surprised to hear this.
His identity as a Reincarnator could really help him. It seemed that he was all alone in An Prefecture, but in reality, it was full of acquaintances…
He was slightly tempted and quickly asked, “Is sending this letter an obligation, or…?"
“…”
“Since I'm asking you to do something, of course, I have to pay you.”
Miss White Wine said, “Besides, after this letter is delivered, the people there should be the ones paying you. We don't need to save them money.”
“There's no need to talk about blood food. You can think about what you need in terms of cultivation techniques. When you get to An Prefecture, deliver this letter for me, and I think whether it's the key to entering the Shousui path, or the secret techniques for ascending to the next realm, they can satisfy you…”
“…”
Hu Ma was a little surprised, "The key to entering the path is so easy to get?"
Miss White Wine smiled and said, "In this world, cultivation methods are the most difficult to obtain."
“But in our Reincarnator circle, this stuff is cheap.”
“…”
“That's true…”
Hu Ma thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
Now, in the small circle of Reincarnators in Ming Prefecture, the awkward thing is that the four people have all entered four different paths. For example, Erguotou is a Ghost Walker, Sweet Potato Burn is a Soul Punisher, and Miss White Wine has been very mysterious, but now it's obvious…
…She is a Siming? (Controller of Fate)
Because the paths are different, everyone can only exchange other things.
Of course, there is also a problem: Ming Prefecture City is too small. Erguotou once said that he didn’t understand the Shousui (Year Keeper) methods, so he could only help create opportunities and try to learn from Shopkeeper Wu Hong.
But even if he understood, it wouldn't be easy to give it to him directly, because these things have a lineage. You learned from which teacher, who are your fellow disciples, one question and it would be known.
If Reincarnators pass it on to each other easily, how will they explain the origin if something goes wrong in the future?
But An Prefecture is different. It’s so far away that you can just make up an excuse and it will be difficult for others to verify.
He slowly exhaled, then said solemnly, "With this, sending this letter is helping myself. Even if there wasn't this, I would still have to send it."
“I just don't know where the letter is, and who to give it to after I go?”
“…”
“I will have the ghost messenger give you the letter.”
Miss White Wine said, “And the recipient is… Miss Red Wine.”
“Holy crap…”
Hu Ma was surprised to hear this: there really was someone codenamed Red Wine?
Are she and Miss White Wine… the Red and White Harms?
He thought silently in his heart. Only now did he feel that this matter was clear. He relaxed and said, "After saying so much, we still haven't said the key point. Can you really cure this girl's injury?"
“Curing it is troublesome, but just helping her keep her alive is actually simple.”
Miss White Wine smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to look for me. You can cure her too."
“Ah?”
Hu Ma was very surprised to hear this.
“Once you understand her situation, the cure is simple. You just need to nourish her with soul-nourishing objects.”
Miss White Wine said, "And the best soul-nourishing object is Jinsi (Gold Filament) Tai Sui. You still have the Jinsi Tai Sui that we split after our cooperation, right?"
“The girl's problem now is that the nail has injured her soul, and because her living soul is separated from her body, the injury is compounded. Pulling out the nail is indeed troublesome, but if you use Jinsi Tai Sui to nourish her soul, there will be no problem in the short term.”
“Jinsi Tai Sui?”
Hu Ma also immediately thought of the most special item among the blood food he had earned before.
Now, among the blood food he had earned, he had almost eaten all the blood food pills, and even the ones Red Lantern Niangniang (Lady) had rewarded him with were gone. He used them to exchange for the Five Viscera ability, and the Green Food and White Food were not worth anything, so he didn't keep them specifically.
Only that piece of Jinsi Tai Sui, knowing it was valuable but not knowing what it was for, had been kept all along.
…Wouldn’t it have gone bad?
“It’s still in my hands…”
After hearing Miss White Wine’s words, he was slightly puzzled: “But the things in my hands can’t be exposed to the light, right?”
“It can’t be exposed to the light in your hands, but it’s perfectly justified in my hands.”
Miss White Wine smiled and said, "I've already refined my share. It's just right to take it out. Of course, I won't let the Ghost Cave Li family get it so cheap. I'll let you do a great favor along with it."
“After all, you've already done them a favor by saving someone casually. Wouldn't it be better to make the favor even bigger?”
“Later, you can just replenish my share.”
“…”
“It can be done like this?”
Hu Ma understood what she meant as soon as he heard it.
He vaguely felt that there was a lot of room for maneuver, but he wasn't in a hurry to get excited. Instead, he paused slightly and smiled, "Then what do you gain from this matter?"
Miss White Wine's personality is different from Erguotou’s. She pays more attention to rules, so it's best to discuss these things in advance. She's helping him treat someone and taking out the Jinsi Tai Sui to help him do a favor.
If there was nothing to gain in the middle, not to mention whether she would be willing, he himself would feel that this matter was unreasonable…
“Naturally, I won’t suffer a loss.”
Miss White Wine said, "If you stay, you were supposed to help me do something, but since you have the opportunity to go out and gain experience, helping me send the letter is not to mention, seeing the world is also good."
“But you must remember this big favor. The major thing I asked you to help me with before, when you come back, you must help me properly."
“…”
“I remember it.”
Hu Ma took a low breath and temporarily agreed. He silently sorted things out, and what was originally a somewhat complicated matter was now very clear in his mind.
Of course, how to do it specifically would depend on the performance the next day.
Returning to his dream, he slept until dawn.
The old butler got up early and waited anxiously. Hu Ma knew that the Cao Xin (Grass Heart) Hall was probably not open yet, so he wasn't in a hurry. He ordered some rice porridge at the inn and ate it. When the sun was high in the sky, he paid for the room and went to the Cao Xin Hall with the old butler.
Along the way, seeing him limping and looking anxious, he was also a little helpless. He stopped slightly in front of the shop and said, "I didn't want to say this, but seeing you limping, it's also uncomfortable."
"I have some money, and we're right in front of a clinic. You should have your leg injury looked at. Otherwise, if you delay it, it will really be ruined."
“…”
“This…”
The old butler was slightly stunned. Meeting Hu Ma's stern face, he was a little ashamed. He had been enduring it all along because he had no money and didn't want to ask for help, but now that he heard Hu Ma say it, he felt even more guilty.
“Thank… thank you, benefactor.”
He said in a low voice, "But now I'm worried about it, I still… I still want to see how Miss is doing now…”
“That’s up to you.”
Hu Ma didn't say much. He already knew the result, so he wasn't in a hurry. He and the old butler entered the Cao Xin Hall one after the other, only to see Shopkeeper Wu Gui (Five Ghosts) already waiting there.
Seeing them come, he sighed, “Little Shopkeeper has already given his idea!”
“The young lady you sent is in really bad shape. We can’t pull out that nail, but we can help her guard her Yuan Soul and nourish her Awakening Soul, at least to save her life, and perhaps she can hold on until your family comes or she is sent home.”
“…”
The old butler was already excited when he heard this: “That’s good, that’s good. Once I see Master, everything will be fine.”
It seemed that he had judged this from the beginning. Coming to the Cao Xin Hall was for this purpose.
But Shopkeeper Wu Gui frowned slightly when he heard this and interrupted his words of gratitude, "Don't rush, old sir. There are always some things to say first."
“Helping her stabilize is not difficult. This longevity lock is given in consideration of the Ghost Cave Li family’s face, but to nourish her spirit, we need extremely precious Jinwen (Gold Pattern) Paste!”
“This thing is extremely precious. Look at this matter…”
“…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay…”
The old butler hurriedly said, "Use it as much as you need. This old man guarantees with his life that the Ghost Cave Li family is not a reneging party."
Shopkeeper Wu Gui waved his hand when he heard this, "Don't rush to say that, old sir. It's not that I don't believe you, but you have no token. You just came and said you are from the Ghost Cave Li family. Whether you are or not, whether the Li family recognizes this debt is hard to say..."
“To let us use the most precious Jinwen Paste without any proof, I’m afraid this is not appropriate, right?”
“…”
Hearing his words, the old butler was suddenly stunned, wanting to explain, but he didn't know how to speak.
At this time, Hu Ma, who had been listening silently, sighed and said, "Since that’s the case, then put it on my account!"
“Save someone to the end. I have a connection with Xiang girl. I can’t really watch her lose her life…”
