The middle-aged man chuckled, shook his head and said: "Everything is unknown. Perhaps, the man who is about to come will help me fulfill my long-cherished wish that I have never fulfilled. Tingting, you are not young anymore. Maybe from this moment on, you have already
If you don’t have the same ability as your father, you will slowly grow old. My father thinks, you might as well find a good man to marry. It’s been all these years.”
"Father"
"Hey, silly girl." The middle-aged man lovingly touched the head of the woman in white shirt.
...
At the foot of Guangming Mountain, Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and squinted at the top of the mountain.
"Sir, Guangming Mountain is still Guangming Mountain, but when I come back, my mood will be different."
"Haha, yes, you can't go back to your home, and you can't see your parents, right?"
"Oh, my husband, you see what you said is true."
The old horseman raised his head and looked towards the top of Guangming Mountain. After looking for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Sir, this Guangming Mountain doesn't look like anything special?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Since you came with me, I won't hide it from you. Just leave with me in a while."
Beiming Shuangxue said: "Ms. sir, I always feel something is wrong."
"Well, I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong. Okay, let's go up the mountain first. We will adapt to the situation in the future."
"Um"
...
Halfway up Guangming Mountain, in front of a hidden place, Ma Xiaoquan gently pushed aside the thatch, and a small cave appeared in front of him.
"Sir, where is this place? Do we want to drill this small hole?" asked the old man, "What about the carriage at the bottom of the mountain?"
"I don't want the carriage anymore. Go down and scatter the horses, so as not to arouse suspicion."
"yes"
...
After the old man came down the mountain, Beiming Shuangxue worriedly said: "Ms. sir, do you really want to bring that person into the secret realm?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Three people are better than two. Even if he has ideas, he will still be very wary of unknown things. Besides, the old immortal is also interesting. Keeping him with us may be useful."
"Oh well"
...
After Ma Xiaoquan waited for the old man to come up again, the three of them ducked in together from the entrance of the cave.
After a brief period of darkness, there was light.
The old man opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him. He shook his head in disbelief and said: "There is still such a scene in this mountain. I have lived for more than fifty years, so I have gained a lot of experience."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "How about it, is it interesting?"
The old man nodded: "Sir, do you know where this place is?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I don't know, um, but if you regret it and want to go out now, it's still too late, I know the exit."
The old man shook his head: "I'll take care of myself now that I've come. I have nothing to rely on, so why don't I just follow the adults?"
"Okay" Ma Xiaoquan nodded, waved and said, "Then come with me and take you to a better place."
...
The three of them walked all the way and looked at the scenery along the way. At this time, the old man finally understood that the place Ma Xiaoquan took him to was not the scene in the mountains, but like another place, a new place.
of heaven and earth.
Involuntarily, the old man began to worship Ma Xiaoquan.
After walking for nearly an hour, the three of them rested under a big rock.
Ma Xiaoquan took out the kettle and handed it to Beiming Shuangxue. The old man prepared the kettle himself, opened the spout and took a sip of water.
"Sir, there should be a name here, right?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "This should be called the secret realm."
"The Secret Realm is indeed a mysterious place, and the Secret Realm is a perfect name."
The scenery in the secret realm is more pleasant than the last time Ma Xiaoquan came. However, the secret realm is just a passage to that unknown place. Ma Xiaoquan is actually going to that unknown place.
After walking for about two hours, the three of them stopped to rest. Beiming Shuangxue took a sip of water, pointed at a big stone not far ahead and said, "Mr., is that there?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Yes, there is a secret passage under the stone, okay." As he said that, Ma Xiaoquan took out a token from his arms.
This token was given to Ma Xiaoquan by Gu Qingmei when he went to Shenyang City. With this token, Ma Xiaoquan can go through the secret passage to his destination.
After a short rest, the three of them approached the big rock.
At this moment, the sound of someone talking was heard not far away.
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand, the three of them immediately hid behind the stone.
"It's really strange...Master Wenyi said that this place must be guarded no matter what, but I don't understand. There's no one here."
"Yes, yes, we have patrolled many places these days, and no one comes in at all. Even those intruders from outside rarely come in again."
"Hey, in my opinion, Master Wenyi is probably too cautious."
"Well, don't you know? It is said that the king summoned all his children and said something, and then Young Master Wenyi's temperament changed drastically. He said that he must find Ma Xiaoquan and kill him in order to get Goddess of Fire..."
Behind the rocks, Ma Xiaoquan heard the conversation between the two patrols and couldn't help but trembled.
Vulcan Empress, Zhao Wenyi? Why are they related?
Beiming Shuangxue also looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise, thinking the same thing as Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan made a gesture, intending to wait until he passed the secret passage before talking. Beiming Shuangxue nodded in understanding.
...
After the two patrolmen had gone away, Ma Xiaoquan and the other three walked out from behind the rocks.
"Ms. sir, the two people who just said 'Vulcan Empress' are Sister Qinghan?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded uncertainly and said: "As far as I know, the people who can be called the 'God of Fire' are very cold. But I don't know why. There is also Zhao Wenyi. Listen to those two people." Tell me, why does he seem to be related to Qinghan?"
Beiming Shuangxue guessed with some uncertainty: "Is it possible that Sister Qinghan left you and fell into the arms of that Zhao Wenyi?"
Ma Xiaoquan's whole body was shaken. Although he felt sorry for Li Qinghan because of Feng'er's death (in fact, Feng'er did not die), he never dared to think that Qinghan would fall into Zhao Wenyi's arms. Even if it was true, Ma Xiaoquan still felt Feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, don't leave without any basis. Take this opportunity and let's go in."
"Um"
...
The three of them walked around to the back of the stone. Ma Xiaoquan gently knocked on a certain stone wall. With a click, the stone wall dented, revealing a cave that could fit a person into.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and got in first. Beiming Shuangxue then looked at it, hesitated, and then got in too.
The stone is hollow inside, with not much space. One side has words engraved on it. Below the words, there are three grooves, two of which are exactly the same size, and the middle groove is slightly larger.
Two grooves of exactly the same size were used by soldiers to pass through. Ma Xiaoquan had used this before, but it only opened the passage, but did not allow entry.
The slightly larger groove uses another pass token...
Ma Xiaoquan blew the fire fold and carefully looked at the slightly larger groove. After making sure that there was no problem, he took out a token from his arms.
This quick token was given by Gu Qingmei. Ma Xiaoquan gestured and found that the size was just right. It seemed that Gu Qingmei did not lie to him.
Aim the token at the groove and press it in gently. After hearing a few clicks, the stone wall opposite instantly opened a crack that could allow a person to pass through.
The old man was very surprised and couldn't believe what he saw. He rubbed his eyes vigorously to make sure he saw correctly, and then followed Ma Xiaoquan and Beiming Shuangxue in.
It was dark for a moment, and then quickly became bright again.
The sudden change in light and darkness made the eyes of Ma Xiaoquan and the others a little unbearable. They all covered their eyes to avoid the strong light. Then, after slowly adapting, they put down their hands.
"Wow, it's really warm here." Beiming Shuangxue stretched out his arms and felt the comfort of the new place. Because of the habit he had developed over the years, when he saw the beach and stream around him, he immediately took the kettle.
Went to water.
Ma Xiaoquan did not expect that the scene in front of him would be like this. According to his expectations, the scene here should not be much worse than the secret realm. After all, the secret realm already has mountains and water.
And here, not only are the mountains and waters green, but what’s more rare is that not far away, there are several houses with green smoke rising from them. In other words, there are people living here.
Beiming Shuangxue also saw the house with green smoke not far away, approached Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Ms. sir, what should we do?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't rush in. After all, we are outsiders here. We might be inconvenienced if people notice us, so let's explore the situation first." At this point, Ma Xiaoquan turned to the old man and said, "You followed me here, I
I won’t limit you. If you want to follow me, you can, or you can go shopping first.”
The old man put the stopper on the kettle, stood up and nodded: "I want to see the surrounding situation for myself first."
Ma Xiaoquan and Beiming Shuangxue looked at each other and said, "That's fine, then you have to pay attention to your safety. If we are destined, we will meet again."
The old man nodded, bowed his hand to Ma Xiaoquan, then turned around and left first.
Watching the old man leave, Beiming Shuangxue whispered: "My husband, aren't you worried that there is something wrong with that old guy?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "In this unknown place, even if he has problems, he has to consider his own survival first. Come on, let's go and explore the situation."
