The Book of Heaven

Chapter 344 Master's Honor and Servant's Honor
"Ma Zheng, I haven't seen Lord Guan soon."

Your Excellency?
Why are there still court officials in the church?But Ma Zheng immediately understood that this "official lord" was not an official appointed by the imperial court, but the "Guan family"'s "Guan lord".

Ma Daoming once said that the current head of the church is the Guan family, so the person in front of him must also be a member of the Guan family, no wonder he was able to let Uncle Qi salute.

"Hello, Mr. Guan."

Although Ma Zheng didn't like to call others "Master" in his heart, it felt like he was inferior, but right now he could only do as the Romans did, after all, he still hadn't figured out what the meaning of "Master" was.

"Master Guan, do you want to take Ma Zheng to see the hall master?"

Uncle Qi looked at Master Guan with a smile on his face and asked.

"There is no need to disturb the hall master for such a trivial matter, Ma Zheng, since you have come in, then accept the test first, give you twelve hours to rest, and then start the test, he is your guide."

"Yes."

Ma Zheng turned his head and glanced at Uncle Qi, then nodded slowly.

Didn't see the change in Ma Zheng's face, a strange look flashed in that Master Guan's eyes, but he turned around and left without saying anything to Ma Zheng or greeting Uncle Qi.Instead, the old man on his left stayed behind, and said arrogantly to Uncle Qi: "Let's go, I'll take you to his temporary room."

Before passing the test, Ma Zheng can't be regarded as officially entering the holy hall, so naturally he is not qualified to own the room, so the man said it was a "temporary" room. Uncle Seven pushed Ma Zheng lightly, and then replied: "Then There's Mr Lausu."

After walking for a while, Ma Zheng just learned from Uncle Qi that the usable area of ​​the entire sanctuary is not too large, so those young people gathered together to practice martial arts without any shyness, and the daily living place is basically based on this With the huge space as the center, high and low caves were dug out of the surrounding walls.

"The cave?"

Ma Zheng looked towards the four walls, only then did he realize that he had indeed neglected it just now, and did not pay attention to the dots of light on the surrounding mountain walls.At this time, if you carefully observe, it really is a cave that is less than one foot high.

These caves have three floors from low to high, and the highest floor is more than two feet above the ground. Fortunately, the people living here are not ordinary people, so even if there are no ladders or ropes, people who want to live on the top floor will not Can't go up.

Of course, Ma Zheng is not qualified to live "above" other people. Seventh Uncle's two companions also left separately after Master Guan left. Only Seventh Uncle accompanied Ma Zheng and Mr. Su to the southwest corner, an inconspicuous cave. before.

"The third room inside."

This location is probably the area with the worst conditions in all aspects of the room. Whether it is light or temperature, it is not as good as other places, and the air circulation is not enough, and a faint odor can be smelled from a distance.What made Ma Zheng even more depressed was that the doorway in front of him was just the entrance and exit of a passage, and after he walked in, there were other doorways on the left and right sides, each of which was not only narrow, but also dark.

Fortunately, Ma Zheng's eyes are special, so even without lights, he can see clearly that these small caves are less than one foot deep. Some caves are covered with mats, and there are also empty caves with nothing in them.

"Mr. Su, here." Uncle Qi was dissatisfied, but unfortunately, Mr. Su didn't give Uncle Qi and Ma Zheng a chance to tell each other. He pretended not to hear Uncle Qi's words and turned around to leave.

"Forget it, Uncle Qi, isn't it just a temporary residence, after passing the test, it should be changed?"

"Hey, Ma Zheng, it's hard to say. According to the rules of the church, if you just pass the test, you may not be eligible to change the room unless you perform well in the test, but how can this be guaranteed? "

Although the environment is harsh, fortunately the temporary cave allocated to Ma Zheng is still covered with mats and oil lamps are hung on the mountain wall. Uncle Qi took off the lampshade and rubbed the wick to light up. The pale yellow light gradually illuminated the entire cave. .

Even though Ma Zheng could see things in the dark night, people always like to live in the sun. As the oil lamps gradually brightened, Ma Zheng even felt that the temperature in the cave seemed to rise a little.

"Sit down and talk."

The mat should have just been replaced, but there is nothing necessary for sleeping. Ma Zheng can understand this. Temporary accommodation, twelve hours of rest, and bedding are also meaningless.

"Uncle Qi, what is going on in this church? It seems that I am not welcome here?"

Ma Zheng took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the mat, and looked at Uncle Qi calmly.

Uncle Qi also sat down, shook his head and said: "You don't have to misunderstand, you are not the only one who is not welcome here now, hey, since the hall master has changed, the management personnel of the temple have also changed. Either the Guan family or the subordinates recruited by the hall master, these people have eyes on the top of their heads."

"Like that Mr. Su just now?"

Ma Zheng curled his lips. Although he didn't think he could evaluate the martial arts of a holy temple god, at least from the feeling, Mr. Su's martial arts should be inferior to Uncle Qi, and even Lord Guan might not be as good. Seventh Uncle, it's just because he has a backer that he can be arrogant in front of Seventh Uncle.

Perhaps this is the so-called "one person attains the Tao and ascends to heaven", or it can be said to be "the prime minister's concierge seventh-rank official". Even people like Uncle Qi are suppressed and have no temper at all. What can I say?It's just that Ma Zheng secretly vowed in his heart that as long as he can stay, one day he will pay back what he has endured today doubled.

"Don't talk about these unappetizing things, let's talk about the next test."

"Uncle Qi, is the test just a martial arts competition?"

In Ma Zheng's view, isn't that what a test is?
"Why do you think so? Oh, yes, Dao Ming can't pass on the content of the test in the church, no wonder you think so." Uncle Qi stroked his long beard under his jaw and said: "Anyway, time It’s still enough, so let me chat casually with you, and you should know by now that the existence of the entire sanctuary is inseparable from that huge holy object, right?”

"Ok!"

Ma Zheng nodded, for a thing as big as a meteorite outside the sky, anyone who is not blind should know what's going on, Uncle Qi's words are really superfluous.

"Then do you know when the holy object appeared?"

Seventh Uncle asked again.

"I don't know." Ma Zheng said truthfully.

"If I told you that this sacred object fell from the sky 700 years ago, what would you think?" Uncle Qi squinted his eyes, as if he was recalling, but also seemed to be waiting for Ma Zheng's answer.

"700 years ago?"

Just talking about 700 years ago, I'm afraid Ma Zheng wouldn't think of it a lot, or if he were an ordinary person, he would only feel emotional that he saw an "antique" from 700 years ago, but Ma Zheng was different after all. He is responsible for the "scary mind method" and "scary stick method", and at the same time knows that the family martial arts of the five kings with different surnames all come from a "book from heaven".
