Summary of the previous chapter: Just when Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan were approaching the secret location, two people jumped out. It turned out that they were the people of the Ma family who were responsible for guarding the secret location...
"That...what is that?" One of them widened his eyes and asked in horror.
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips and said, "Master Tai Sui, come out and say hello to those two people."
"Gulu" A green tentacle as thick as a finger came out of Ma Xiaoquan's lapel. On top of the tentacle was a one-eye the size of a soybean. The one-eye was spinning, and the tentacle was swaying back and forth.
Ma Xiaoquan patted his chest and murmured: "Okay, Tai Sui, go back and rest. Thank you for helping me."
"Gulu Gulu" the green tentacles bent slightly, as if in return, then retracted, and retracted into Ma Xiaoquan's lapel in an instant.
Li Qinghan stepped forward, gently grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's sleeve, and said, "You really scared me to death. I thought..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, patted Li Qinghan's jade hand, and turned to look at the two people.
"How's it going? If you have any other moves, just use them, I'll be waiting."
The two of them looked at each other, then suddenly fell to their knees with a thud and said in unison: "We brothers are willing to submit to the first generation head of the family, and I hope the first generation head of the family will forgive me!"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, stretched out his hand and said: "Come on, you are all members of my Ma family. Well, by the way, your master is still Ma Ruiqing. Well, I have other things to be busy with. Well, I'm here today."
I came here just to see what kind of secrets there are in this secret place where my Ma family is stationed. By the way, you two can tell me what is the secret in this secret place in my Ma family?"
The two looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"Huh? Why, you don't know either?"
One of them said: "Back to the original head of the family, we really don't know. Although our two brothers have been guarding that secret place, we have never entered it."
"Oh? Never went in? Could it be that Ma Ruiqing didn't let you in?"
"It's not that...it's that...you can't get in at all..."
"What? Can't get in? What's going on?"
"Back to the first generation of the family, we don't know what happened. As soon as we stepped into the area of the secret place, it was as if someone was pushing us out and shutting us out."
Ma Xiaoquan frowned. Although the expressions of these two people were not very appropriate, the matter was very suspicious. Although they were responsible for guarding, they never went in? What on earth is going on?
"Has Ma Ruiqing been in there?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads: "The head of the family wants to go in, but the situation is the same as what we encountered."
Li Qinghan interrupted: "Ma Xiaoquan, is there any kind of forbidden curse?"
"Forbidden curse? That won't happen, but we are here at the right time. Qinghan, let's go and see together."
"Um"
...
Half an hour later, Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan were led to a tree. This tree was a bit strange. Its trunk and branches grew a little differently. The branches formed a strange shape. What exactly was Ma Xiaoquan's answer for an hour and a half?
I can't understand either. As for the leaves...the shape and color of the leaves are different from those of the big trees next to them.
"Is this here?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.
The two nodded: "Going back to the first generation head of the family, this is the place..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and just as he was about to reach out, Li Qinghan pulled him back and whispered: "Ma Xiaoquan, although those two people are from my Ma family, I'm afraid they still have doubts. What they said was so ambiguous. I am
I didn’t understand, well, if you reach out rashly, could it be... could they be lying to deceive you?”
Ma Xiaoquan frowned, nodded, retracted his hand, and said to the two people: "You two just said that as soon as you enter this secret place, you will be shut out. Okay, then you give me a show."
look."
"This..." The two of them were in trouble.
"What? Are you unwilling or afraid?" Ma Xiaoquan's face darkened.
"No, no, it's not that we are unwilling, we just..."
Li Qinghan snorted: "There is no just, and there is no but. If Ma Xiaoquan asks you to do it, you do it. If you have a grudge, then you must be hiding something from us..."
The two of them were stunned and looked at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "Qinghan is right. I agree with her point of view. You two, hurry up and don't force me."
The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and knelt down with a thud: "The first generation head of the family, please spare my life."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Spare my life? You didn't seem to do anything to me, right? What? You still want me to spare my life? It seems... you two did hide something from me."
Yiren said: "My lord, the first generation of the family, we did it out of necessity. This was all arranged by the lord of the family. This tree is not what we just said."
"Master? Oh, you said Ma Ruiqing... Huh, sure enough, Ma Ruiqing has always doubted me."
Li Qinghan didn't understand very much and said: "Why does Dad doubt you? Does Dad think you killed Fourth Master Ma?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and curled his lips and said: "This matter is not impossible, but I am very happy that Ma Ruiqing can be so cautious. At least the men of my Ma family still have brains, well... you two
, get up”
Ma Xiaoquan said, reaching out to touch the strange tree.
"Danger..." The two of them screamed when they saw Ma Xiaoquan's actions.
Ma Xiaoquan stopped and asked: "What, is it even allowed to touch it?"
Yiren said: "The first-generation head of the family, it's not impossible, it's absolutely impossible... I have seen many people because I touched this tree by mistake, and then... then...
....."
"Then what happened?"
Another person interjected: "Then he was sucked into the tree. When he came out again, he was either missing arms or legs."
"Sucked it in?" Ma Xiaoquan snorted, circled around the tree, and murmured, "There aren't any holes in this tree? Sucked it in? How did it get sucked in?"
"The little one... I don't know even the little one."
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan looked at each other, and the latter nodded. Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and reached out to touch the trunk of the tree.
