Ma Xiaoquan wanted to stand up to greet him, but the old man saw that Ma Xiaoquan had not yet recovered his strength, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Young master, just rest for a while. Don't dare to force yourself. You and I can do whatever we want."
It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Ma Xiaoquan nodded and lay back again.
"I heard from my disciple that the young master is also from Yuyang?"
Ma Xiaoquan was also puzzled. Let's talk about Yuyang. Actually, no, he just said a sentence in Mandarin. Of course, there are some differences between ancient Mandarin and modern Mandarin, but the overall tone does not change too much.
, it’s just the pronunciation of some words.
After hesitating for a long time, Ma Xiaoquan still thought it was better to tell the truth, so he replied: "My benefactor is too polite, but I am not actually from Yuyang."
"Eh?" Upon hearing this, the old man glanced at the girl next to him and lectured, "Ghost girl, why did you lie to become a teacher?"
The girl was reluctant to hear this: "Master, when did I lie to you? Listen to what this young man said in Yuyang dialect..."
The old man shook his head helplessly and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, who also shook his head.
After a moment of silence, the old man asked Ma Xiaoquan: "What happened to the young master earlier? Why is he so weak?"
Ma Xiaoquan lied and said: "Don't mention it, I escaped from Puyang City. Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting in Puyang City. I took the opportunity to escape with my family. I didn't expect that I was the only one who came out..."
The old man asked again: "Where are the young master's family now?"
Ma Xiaoquan's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: Damn, this is wrong. My family members are all well in Dongjun, so... how can I write this down?
Ma Xiaoquan hesitated and fell silent.
The old man thought that Ma Xiaoquan was in grief, so he comforted him: "Master, don't be anxious. Otherwise, Ling'er and I are going to Puyang. Why don't you tell me the names of your family members, and I can help you find out."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Thank you, senior, my family members are called..."
Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to make up a few names, both male and female. The old man asked Ling'er to write them down, and then asked: "I see that the young master looks handsome, but is he a married man?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I'm so tired of running around, how can I have time to get married?"
"Oh?" The old man felt incredible, "How old is the young master this year?"
Ma Xiaoquan secretly thought: How old is it? I came here during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to pretend to be a great immortal. Well, let’s be honest, I, Ma Xiaoquan, am actually only 27 years old, but I have been here for several years. Well...
No matter how you calculate it, you are over 1030 years old...
After some ideological struggle, Ma Xiaoquan decided to tell the truth to the old man. After all, the old man saved his benefactor when he was extremely weak.
"To be fair to seniors, juniors are twenty-seven this year."
The old man nodded, touched the goatee on his chin, thought for a moment, and said: "Sir, I have something to ask of you. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"
Ma Xiaoquan said without thinking: "Senior, no matter what you say, as long as the junior can do it, we will definitely do it."
The old man nodded, looked at the disciple beside him, and said faintly: "I am very old, and I don't know when I will return to earth. I have lived for more than a hundred years, and everything is clear to me, but
I am a Ling'er girl, I am not at ease at all. Master, if I return to earth one day, I hope that you will take care of my disciple..."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Ling'er beside him said coquettishly: "Master" Ling'er said, her pretty face turned red.
"Haha..." The old man smiled and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, "I wonder if the young master can agree to this?"
Ma Xiaoquan was surprised. This was his first meeting. Why did the old man ask for help?
"Senior, what are you..." Ma Xiaoquan was speechless for a moment.
The old man said: "Sir, I have lived for more than a hundred years. I have never seen anyone or experienced anything. In the eyes of ordinary people, I can't see 100%, but I can also see 70%.
As for the young master, the old man felt very strange from the first moment he saw the young master, as if...well, the young master does not belong to this era..."
Ma Xiaoquan also understands the old man's words. As the saying goes, the more you live, the more refined you are. The old man in front of you claims to be over a hundred years old, so he has certainly seen all kinds of people.
Ma Xiaoquan asked the old man: "Since the seniors have such trust in each other, the juniors will not refuse. The juniors have agreed to this matter."
When the old man heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Sir, speak quickly, good, good, good!"
Ma Xiaoquan cupped his hands and said, "I still don't know the name of my senior..."
The old man chuckled: "I forgot the name, but I do have a nickname, well... this nickname seems to have been around for a long time..."
"The senior's nickname is..."
"Hmm...Old Mr. Huang Shi."
"Holy shit!" Ma Xiaoquan was so frightened that he fell down from the bed.
The old man chuckled, and Ling'er girl obediently stepped forward and helped Ma Xiaoquan to the bed.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Huang Shigong, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: This damn old man is the legendary master of Zhang Liang. This old man is not only a hundred years old, but hundreds of years old, this damn old man is the real god.
Compared to the real god, Ma Xiaoquan, the pretended god, was immediately more intimidated. Originally, he thought about taking the opportunity to show off his skills later, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
After much thought, Ma Xiaoquan decided to tell the truth and told the old man the whereabouts of his real family members.
After hearing this, the old man not only did not get angry, but burst into laughter and said: "I have guessed this a long time ago. It is really commendable that the young master can admit his mistake in time. But I have a question to ask the young master. What exactly does the young master do?
of?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and described what he was looking for to Huang Shigong.
After hearing this, Huang Shigong pondered for a moment and said, "I seem to have seen what the young master said..."
Ma Xiaoquan was amused and quickly said respectfully: "Senior, where is that thing now?"
Huang Shigong chuckled and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Young master, you have to tell me first, what do you want that thing for?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded lightly and said: "Senior, please prepare two boiled eggs for this junior."
Huang Shigong felt strange, but still told Ling'er to prepare to go.
After burning the incense, Ling'er came back with two hot boiled eggs.
"Slow down, I'll blow it for you, huh." The obedient Ling'er pouted her little mouth, looking very cute, which made Ma Xiaoquan's heart itch.
"Here, take a bite!" Ling'er brought the peeled eggs over.
Ma Xiaoquan took a shallow bite, and it was still a little hot.
"Senior, where did these eggs come from?"
Huang Shigong chuckled and said: "My soul also likes to eat this, so when you travel with me, you always have it ready..."
"Oh!" Ma Xiaoquan said, having already eaten an egg.
After eating an egg, Ma Xiaoquan immediately felt energetic and regained a lot of strength. He nodded gently to Ling'er and took another egg from Ling'er's hand.
Their hands touched inadvertently. Ma Xiaoquan thought it was nothing, but Ling'er's pretty face turned red again.
Ma Xiaoquan opened the other egg without thinking and ate it slowly.
After eating two eggs, within ten breaths, Ma Xiaoquan felt that his physical strength had almost recovered. He got out of bed and bowed respectfully to Huang Shigong.
Huang Shigong was also very surprised. After all, he had lived for so many years and had seen many strange people and strange things. Today, he saw such a young-looking junior with such ability...
"Interesting," Huang Shigong chuckled and said, "It's a miracle that you can rely on eggs to recover. This old man is really eye-opening today."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, sat on the side and said respectfully: "Senior, can you talk about that object now?"
Huang Shigong nodded and told Ma Xiaoquan exactly what he knew.
From Huang Shigong's words, Ma Xiaoquan learned that when Huang Jingming's entity traveled back through time, he should have had a relationship with Huang Shigong. At that time, Huang Jingming also showed the solar recorder to Huang Shigong. Of course, Huang Jingming
There is also something concealed. After all, if a modern person asks about modern things, he has to conceal something no matter what.
"That's it..." After Huang Shigong finished speaking, he hummed twice.
"Hmm" Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and thought: This Huang Jingming... I really can't understand him.
"Senior, where is this object now?"
Huang Shigong counted with his fingers, frowned and said: "I can't calculate the specific location, but the approximate location, it should be in Nanyang."
"Nanyang?" Ma Xiaoquan's eyes lit up.
The first thing Ma Xiaoquan thought of was Yuan Shu, the governor of Nanyang. After all, Yuan Shu still had the final say in Nanyang.
But soon, Ma Xiaoquan thought again, it doesn’t have to be Yuan Shu, what if someone else in Nanyang gets it?
...
Nanyang, Yuan Shu's residence.
Yuan Shu sat in front of the desk. In front of him was a rosewood box. Next to Yuan Shu stood a subordinate dressed as a counselor.
The subordinates were very happy to see Yuan Shu, and struck while the iron was hot: "My lord, this box is made of fine rosewood. After finishing it, I specially invited a Taoist priest to put a talisman on the box. It is said that this talisman has the power to ward off evil spirits."
Guixie, what about the effect of avoiding calculation..."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he laughed and said: "Well, you did a good job, I am very satisfied, haha..."
After laughing, Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Then Mr. Lu hasn't come back yet?"
The subordinate replied: "Reporting to my lord, Mr. Lu has not returned yet."
Yuan Shu clicked his tongue twice and said, "Okay, well, let's put this aside for a moment. I heard that in Puyang City, Lu Bu gave Cao Cao a scare?"
The subordinate nodded and replied: "Yes, my lord, but it seems that Cao Cao escaped."
Yuan Shu laughed again: "Then Cao Ah Man has only so much ability. He can't even beat Lu Bu. I see, in the future, the people who will compete with me, Yuan Jiuji, for world supremacy will definitely not be Cao Cao."
The subordinate said respectfully: "My lord is wise and my lord has a clear conscience!"
