Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 676 I Really Am
Listening to Miss Red Wine's words, Hu Ma was speechless at her perfunctory attitude, even though he was mentally prepared.
He paused and said seriously, "Miss Red Wine, I don't know if you understand, but I really am a descendant of the Zhenchui Hu family (Hu family specializing in suppressing evil)."
"Yes..."
Miss Red Wine said, "I didn't say you weren't. So what?"
"No..."
Hu Ma said, "I am a descendant of the Hu family..."
"The one from the Ten Families, who beheaded the Five Fiends, fought the Guan Prefecture Lord, and participated in the first Reincarnator purge..."
"..."
Miss Red Wine interrupted him impatiently, "Didn't I already express my surprise?"
Hu Ma immediately deflated. That's right, she already expressed her surprise...
He sighed softly and said, "Actually, it's because I am the master of the Zhenchui Manor that I was able to defeat the Meng family's ancestor down there. Of course, Mr. Longjing also helped, and even the dignified Master Meng of the Tongyin Meng family..."
Before he could finish, Miss Red Wine sighed and said, "You don't need to tell us that. We already know."
"You know?"
Hu Ma was genuinely surprised this time.
"Don't forget I'm a Xiaotangguan (low-level official) of the Baximen (Acrobatic School). Half the Jianghu (martial world) are my disciples and grand-disciples."
Miss Red Wine chuckled and said, "When the Seven Arrows appeared and destroyed the Dragon Lair, the Jianghu became chaotic. All kinds of news, true and false, were endless."
"And among so many pieces of news, the most shocking and most reliable was that the descendant of the Zougui Hu family (Hu family who walks with ghosts) used the Twenty-Four Flag Altar to defeat the Master Meng of the Meng family, shocking the entire Jianghu."
"From then on, we knew that the Hu family's descendant had appeared in the City of Wrongful Deaths."
"..."
Hu Ma was quite surprised to hear that.
This was true, but he had only just returned to the Yang world, and Brother Erguotou wasn't around. Whose mouth was so fast?
Not only had this news spread, but it was also guaranteed to be true?
Miss Red Wine smiled meaningfully as she said this, "We of the Baximen rely on our own skills to make a living in the Jianghu, and secondly, we rely on being well-informed. So, I am very concerned about such a big matter."
"Brother Hu, why don't you tell me how the Twenty-Four Flag Altar was set up and how Master Meng was defeated? It would be good for me to earn some pocket money."
"..."
Hu Ma was a little embarrassed. He really couldn't explain it...
Miss Red Wine wasn't surprised that he couldn't explain it. With her many years of experience in the Jianghu, she could hear Hu Ma's embarrassment from his silence.
She smiled again and said, "Also, at the last meeting, we all knew that the Zisui (Purple Taisui) is now the foundation of the Ten Families and the key for the Reincarnators to cross the bridge. Why don't you show some generosity and give us some more?"
"Ah?"
Hu Ma was embarrassed again. "I really don't have any at the moment..."
"That's it then."
Miss Red Wine smiled and said, "You don't have it, but we already have it in our hands."
"Of course, we are being cautious, and we haven't rashly distributed it. We first found Little White to check if there were any problems with the Zisui. Once it's confirmed that there are no problems, do you know what this entire gourd full of Zisui represents?"
Without waiting for an answer, she said softly, "It represents that the foundation of the Ten Families is about to be broken by the Reincarnators."
Hearing this, Hu Ma felt the heavy weight of the words and remained silent.
Miss Red Wine sighed softly as she said this, "What a great contribution this is to the Reincarnators..."
"Brother Hu, since you told me your identity... well, let's assume you are... but you don't need to feel so much pressure, and you don't need to hide yourself."
"We haven't figured out the details of the first Reincarnator purge yet. Although it's said to be related to the Hu family, there's no tradition of animosity between the Reincarnator community and the Hu family."
"In the end, it's strange that no Reincarnators have entered the Ten Families."
"After all, the Ten Families have been famous for over a hundred years, with a large family and many clansmen in each generation. There was once a Reincarnator who entered the Zhang family of nobles, but was crushed into minced meat by the Zhang family. So why haven't new Reincarnators appeared in the Ten Families?"
"...Or maybe they are just too cautious, and even if they are reborn into the Ten Families, they don't dare to take the risk?"
"..."
"I..."
Hu Ma didn't know how to respond to her words.
Wait, he was originally planning to guide her a little, but why does it seem like there's no need for guidance at all...
But with Miss Red Wine's heavy "trust," he felt even more at ease. In the future, wouldn't he be able to use the identity of the Zhenchui Hu family more freely in the Reincarnator circle?
If he were to hide it like before, things wouldn't be done smoothly, and he wouldn't be able to maximize the benefits. Now, this hurdle has been cleared at just the right time.
Thinking this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I feel much more at ease now that I've said it. By the way, Miss Red Wine, I heard that someone kidnapped Meng Family's Old Mistress?"
"I'm so angry!"
Miss Red Wine's voice suddenly became emotional, more emotional than when she was talking about the Hu family's descendant. "Those guys from Mijiu (fermented glutinous rice wine) are really going to cause trouble. Why did they kidnap her for no reason?"
"They even wanted to send her to me to exchange for Zisui?"
"It would be good if I only fined him twenty pounds of blood food."
"..."
"I was wondering who was so strange, it turns out it's this old brother..."
Hu Ma couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "You don't have to worry, just send her here later!"
"?"
Miss Red Wine suddenly became alert and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Although we are regarded as evil by this world, there are some things that still need to have a bottom line..."
"..."
"?"
Hu Ma was stunned for a moment before realizing what she meant by "don't do," and quickly said, "You're thinking too far. That's not what I meant."
"Mainly, now that Master Meng of the Meng family is in my hands..."
"..."
"?"
It was Miss Red Wine's turn to be dumbfounded. "Did you guys agree to keep the couple together?"
Hu Ma laughed and said, "I was just thinking, isn't the Meng family the perfect opportunity for the Reincarnators to rise?"
"Their ancestor has suffered a loss and may not be able to show his face in a short time. In addition, the two masters in the Yin mansion and the Yang residence have fallen into our hands. It is the right time to deal with the Meng family. Furthermore, the Meng family's ancestor is indeed terrifying, but..."
He paused before saying, "Mr. Longjing told me its biggest weakness."
Miss Red Wine was slightly surprised and said, "Tell me quickly."
Hu Ma also knew the importance of this information, so he told her about the weakness of the Meng family's ancestor, who couldn't look at two people at the same time, as well as the method of cultivating the Zisui that Mr. Longjing told him, the betrayal of the national teacher, and even the former Shangjing Ancestral Altar.
Every piece of news was valuable and far-reaching, shocking her.
The Tongyin Meng family had deep foundations, and the Meng family's ancestor was only injured and not fundamentally damaged, so it was still extremely terrifying. However, there were always extraordinary people in the Reincarnator community. As long as they knew its weakness, they would always be able to think of a way to deal with it.
In addition, the Meng family had lost two masters, so it would be difficult for them not to be in chaos, which was the Reincarnators' opportunity.
And in this process, he didn't even need to do anything else. As long as the Meng family suffered a loss, the Hu family would benefit.
Finally, he finalized the handover of Meng Family's Old Mistress with Miss Red Wine and said, "Also, I need a few methods to make the Yin spirits speak obediently."
"Make the Yin spirits speak obediently?"
Miss Red Wine immediately understood what Hu Ma meant, smiled, and said, "There are many methods. The most professional one is of course the Xinghun School (punishing souls), but it has become a tradition for the Meng family to go down to serve their ancestors, so they must have been guarding against Xinghun a long time ago."
"If you really want to be safe, I suggest you find someone and ask her for a method."
"..."
Hu Ma was slightly stunned. "Who?"
Miss Red Wine laughed and said, "Of course, it's Little White."
"Whether it's saving people or harming people, nurturing people or torturing people, the Siming School (governing fate) has always been very good at it."
"..."
He was originally just thinking about finding a Xinghun method. He didn't look for Digua Shao (sweet potato liquor) because Digua Shao's current skills were not enough, and he was afraid that he couldn't deal with existences like Master Meng of the Meng family. But after being reminded by Miss Red Wine, Hu Ma suddenly realized.
However, asking a doctor for methods of torture?
Although it was strange, it was indeed quite relevant.
He was already planning to look for Miss White Wine on this trip back, so Hu Ma agreed. After briefly taking stock with Miss Red Wine and confirming that all the information and handover matters were in order, he cut off the connection.
"Descendant of the Hu family?"
After cutting off contact with Hu Ma, Miss Red Wine pondered for a moment and then contacted Zhu Ye Qing (bamboo green) through her natal spirit temple, and sighed:
"That old brother really knows that his identity can't be hidden, but he pushed out this honest little brother under his command to take the blame."
"But his idea is also incomprehensible. Although he has been secretive, he has been doing things for the Reincarnators in a down-to-earth way, but he always refuses to reveal his bottom line. Why?"
"..."
At the other end of the natal spirit temple, Zhu Ye Qing pondered and said, "Could it be that he himself has some things that he doesn't understand?"
Miss Red Wine nodded and said, "Most likely. From Lao Baigan's (old white liquor) suggestion, it can be seen that they now intend to use the name of Zhenchui Hu to pull Tongyin Meng down from the altar. We have no reason to refuse."
"Now that the Reincarnators are just getting started, it is even more impossible to create suspicion because of these guesses."
"Since he refuses to say, then we can only pretend not to know for the time being, but we must be careful. Pass the word out that in the name of Zhenchui Manor, we will harm the Meng family, distribute Zisui, and prepare to seize the bridge!"
"Then, find the Houseliang Shen (house beam god) and ask about that old brother's situation!"
