Summary of the previous chapter: Lu Zhan of the Lu family came to threaten the Ma family with the emperor's oral instructions and demanded the secret book of the Baiyi clan...
The housekeeper Ma Tong came out of the side room and waved to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan hummed, followed Mrs. Ma, and got in through the opening.
I thought the road would be very narrow, but I didn't expect that after walking through the opening for about ten meters, the two sides gradually became wider. Ma Xiaoquan roughly measured it, and it was enough for him to open his arms.
"I never expected that the Ma family would have such a magical secret passage. It's really amazing."
Mrs. Ma chuckled, turned around and said, "Quan'er, except Ma Tong and I, no other members of the Ma family have told about this secret passage."
Ma Xiaoquan was surprised and said: "Grandma, I am really flattered by you doing this."
Mrs. Ma shook her head: "I have already lost my beloved grandson, and I don't want to lose another grandson."
Ma Xiaoquan was very moved in his heart. Although he understood that this was Mrs. Ma's scheme to buy the flesh, Ma Xiaoquan was willing to fall into this scheme. After all, in terms of identity, Ma Xiaoquan was indeed a member of the Ma family. As a member of the Ma family, he
There is a reason and an obligation to contribute to the family.
"Grandma, please rest assured, even if I, Ma Xiaoquan, go against the world, I will definitely protect everyone in my Ma family."
Mrs. Ma nodded heavily and said: "Quan'er, I can see that you are a thoughtful person, and you are also a very strong person. Old lady, I have always had a question, who are you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly and was about to answer Mrs. Ma's words when a gust of cool wind suddenly blew from the secret passage and blew out the candle in the secret passage.
In the darkness, Mrs. Ma frowned and asked Ma Tong behind Ma Xiao: "Ma Tong, are there still some problems with the air outlet?"
"Madam, yes, since the vent was damaged by rain, it has not been completely repaired."
Mrs. Ma sighed and said to Ma Xiaoquan in an apologetic tone: "Quan'er, I'm really sorry, but it doesn't matter. We should walk about 100 meters and we should be there. You can follow me for these 100 meters."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Grandma, please wait a moment." Ma Xiaoquan said and called softly, "Xiaoshuang, can you come out and give me a light?"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, a light blue flame slowly shot up from the back of his neck, and the dark passage suddenly lit up.
"Woooo..." Xiaoshuang whirled around Ma Xiaoquan, seeming a little dissatisfied.
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I'm sorry, Xiaoshuang, did I hold you back, haha..."
"This... this is..." Mrs. Ma stared at the flame girl Xiaoshuang beside Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes, and suddenly realized, "There is a legend in my Ma family. It is said that the first generation head of the family
Able to control fire... And when the first generation head of the family finally killed Mr. Lu, he used a flame that looked like a woman... You... you... you
yes......"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Ma was so excited that she took three steps and two steps at a time, stepped forward and took Ma Xiaoquan's hand: "You are really the first generation head of the family, you are really the first generation head of the family. They say that the first generation head of the family is a god, so I will say
, I just said..." As she spoke, Mrs. Ma was speechless.
At this time, the three of them also reached the end of the secret passage.
At the end, there was a stone door. Ma Tong knocked lightly a few times, and the stone door opened with a few creaks.
Mrs. Ma pulled Ma Xiaoquan across the stone gate excitedly and entered the dark room at the end.
As soon as they entered the darkroom, Mrs. Ma said to Tong Ma: "Tong Ma, hurry up, come here and salute the first head of the family."
Ma Tong was stunned for a moment, looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and then at Mrs. Ma. Seeing that Mrs. Ma's expression was very serious, Ma Tong did not dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward to give Ma Xiaoquan a big gift.
"Uncle Tong, it's no need." Ma Xiaoquan held Ma Tong up, shook his head and said, "Uncle Tong, no matter what, you are still my uncle Tong."
Ma Tong looked at Mrs. Ma blankly, and when he saw Mrs. Ma nodded, he no longer thought about saluting.
At this time, Ma Tong was very confused. In the secret passage just now, Ma Tong heard the conversation between his wife and Ma Xiaoquan, and Ma Tong also saw the flame girl Xiaoshuang, but... Ma Tong was not
He still doesn't know many of the Ma family's secrets.
Madam Ma happily pulled Ma Xiaoquan to sit down, pointed to the wall in the dark room and said: "Quan'er...oh no, the head of the family...look, there is something on that wall."
Among all the documents and materials preserved by my Ma family, there is the Secret Records of the Baiyi Clan."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Grandma, I'm still used to hearing you call me Quan'er."
"How is that possible? You are the founder of my Ma family, and you are the Immortal. How can I take on the role of an old woman?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Grandma, I said you can take the responsibility, so you can take the responsibility, and..." Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp, "Let me tell you this, in fact, my age is really only
Twenty-seven years old..."
Mrs. Ma had a look of disbelief: "How is it possible? You, the first generation head of the family, were already over a thousand years old when you were in the late Han Dynasty..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Hey, what are those things?"
...
After arguing with Mrs. Ma for a long time, Ma Xiaoquan could not argue with her. In desperation, the two had to make an agreement: whenever outsiders were present, Mrs. Ma would pretend to be Ma Xiaoquan's grandmother. Whenever there was no one else, Ma Xiaoquan would be the first generation head of the family.
As for the issue of address, the two of them can just address each other as usual.
With such an agreement, Ma Xiaoquan felt relieved.
"Grandma, let me read the Secret Records of the Baiyi Clan."
Mrs. Ma nodded and ordered Ma Tong to bring the Secret Records of the Baiyi Clan to Ma Xiaoquan.
After receiving the Secret Records of the Baiyi Clan, Ma Xiaoquan immediately felt familiar.
"Qingyi..." Ma Xiaoquan held the Secret Book of the Baiyi Clan in front of his face and rubbed it for a few times before gently closing his eyes.
Madam Ma looked at Ma Xiaoquan's actions with red eyes.
"Grandma, I want to ask, is Lu Zhan a descendant of Lu Xian?"
Mrs. Ma nodded: "Not entirely, to be precise, Lu Zhan should be a descendant of Lu Wang..."
"Lu Wang..." Ma Xiaoquan gave a bitter smile, "When I let Lu Wang go, I didn't expect that Lu Wang would stand like my Ma family for thousands of years. By the way, grandma, the Zi family
