Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan plans to poach Gangzi to be his groom...
Although Ma Xiaoquan does not deny that the soul can be retained, he does not believe that the soul can travel through time. After all... even if the soul does exist, it is a strange energy in nature.
Since it is energy, it will definitely be consumed in the process of remaining in the world until it disappears completely. This... is the conservation of energy. This is the law of nature. No one can destroy the conservation of energy.
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and overturned himself and said: "Then how do you explain the reincarnation of the living Buddha? Why can the reincarnation of the living Buddha have the memory of the previous life?"
"No, even if the living Buddha has the memory of reincarnation, he does not fully possess it..."
After saying this, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly became enlightened.
Gangzi sat next to Ma Xiaoquan with a confused look on his face. He didn't understand a word of what Ma Xiaoquan just said.
...
Two days later, Ma Xiaoquan and his party came to a small town.
This town is not far from Ningyuan, and you should be able to reach it in another two or three days' walk.
In fact, there is a larger town not far behind this small town. The reason why I chose to settle here is entirely because the Dongfang Family has some business in this town, and I happened to listen to the Dongfang Family.
People said that they encountered some business difficulties in this small town.
It's better to meet by chance. Now that this happened, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't ignore it. On the one hand, it was also because of his friendship with Dongfang Qingxue. On the other hand, Ma Xiaoquan felt something strange here.
From the moment Ma Xiaoquan walked into this small town, the Heart of Time, which had been silent in his belly, suddenly became restless. Although this restlessness was not obvious, it aroused Ma Xiaoquan's vigilance.
The restlessness of the heart of time has happened more than once in this era. Except for this time, the other times have happened in the phantom forest.
Based on previous experiences, Ma Xiaoquan concluded that there must be something related to the Heart of Time in this town, otherwise, the Heart of Time would not be restless.
...
The trouble in the Dongfang Family's business was mainly caused by Wei Jinzhong. Of course, because of Dai Zheng's intervention, this trouble was no longer a trouble.
Seeing people from the Dongfang family thanking Dai Zheng constantly, Ma Xiaoquan remained silent.
"What are you thinking about?" Dongfang Qingxue walked over and asked softly.
"I was wondering...is this place the same as the Phantom Forest?"
"Huh? Ma Xiaoquan, why do you say that?"
Of course, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't tell Dongfang Qingxue the secret of the heart of time in his body, so he could only lie: "I have a feeling that this place is very similar to the Phantom Forest..."
Dongfang Qingxue pondered for a moment, then took out the device used by her Dongfang family to guide the way in the phantom forest, and waved it around a few times.
"Huh?" After waving a few times, Dongfang Qingxue was suddenly stunned, "Ma Xiaoquan, what you said is indeed right..."
When Ma Xiaoquan saw Dongfang Qingxue take out the utensil, he also took out the jade finger and flicked it casually a few times.
"Sure enough, there was a reaction... Where exactly is this place?"
"Ma Xiaoquan, should we look for it?"
Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and looked not far ahead. Li Qinghan, Bei Mingxue, Dai Zheng and others were standing together talking and laughing, and said: "Okay, but we can't let them know."
"Well, let's do it at night"
"good"
...
At night, after everyone had gone to bed, Ma Xiaoquan quietly left the inn.
"You came so late..." Dongfang Qingxue suddenly appeared behind Ma Xiao and whispered.
Ma Xiaoquan was not frightened by Dongfang Qingxue's sudden appearance. Instead, he chuckled and responded in a low voice: "Sorry, I had something to think about, so I was delayed a little. By the way, where are Qinghan and Bei Mingxue, they are asleep.
No?"
"Well, I went to bed. Where is Mr. Dai? Did I bother you?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "That's not true. This kid has been pestering Bei Mingxue recently, and I just have a few clean days."
"Ma Xiaoquan, aren't you afraid that Miss Beiming will be snatched away by Mr. Dai?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, but it's not because I like Bei Mingxue, it's because Dai Zheng is really not worthy of Bei Mingxue."
Dongfang Qingxue put her hands behind her back and murmured: "What if it's me?"
"Uh" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. We have to do business first."
In the darkness, Ma Xiaoquan could not see Dongfang Qingxue's expression clearly. At this moment, Dongfang Qingxue's eyes showed a trace of disappointment.
...
The two of them each held utensils and jade fingers in their hands, followed the direction of the induction, and quietly came to a well.
This well is located in the southeast corner of the town. It is relatively remote and few people seem to have visited it.
The well was dry and there was no water in it, but no one covered the wellhead with a stone slab.
The instrument in Dongfang Qingxue's hand and the feeling of the jade finger in Ma Xiaoquan's hand stopped abruptly when they reached the dry well.
Fortunately, it stopped suddenly, otherwise, the two of them might have fallen into a dry well.
"Really, if there are children coming to play, what if they fall in..." Dongfang Qingxue muttered quietly, picked up a small stone, touched the direction, and threw it into the well.
"Ding" The small stone fell to the bottom of the well and made a crisp sound.
"Eh? Wait a minute." Ma Xiaoquan reached out and pulled Dongfang Qingxue, "The voice doesn't seem right..."
"Isn't it right?" Dongfang Qingxue shook her head. She didn't hear anything wrong?
"Yes, that's not right. A dry well... If it is a dry well, if you drop a small stone, there should be a muffled sound, not like a sound like a hammer being struck." Ma Xiaoquan said, and he took the
Pick up a small stone and throw it down the well.
"Ding" came again.
"Sure enough..." Ma Xiaoquan looked around and said to Dongfang Qingxue, "Miss Dongfang, let me find some rope."
"Rope? Ma Xiaoquan, you don't want to go down, do you?"
"Well, yes"
"This...is there anything interesting to see in this dry well, and...and if you go down, I will be alone, scared..."
Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Yes, I need to find a rope. Even if you pull me, I'm afraid you don't have much strength and it won't be easy. Well, I'll let Xiaoshuang go down and take a look."
.”
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan called Xiaoshuang in his heart.
