The Book of Heaven

Chapter 85 Chapter [-] Candlelight
In the middle of the night, Ma Zheng took the time to get up and wander around in the side hall, but he saw that the soldiers outside the side hall were still sticking to their posts. During these nine cold days, standing guard in the courtyard with no shelter, the armor would be covered with snow in a short while , as white as jade, it makes people feel sorry for its hardship.

Seeing these soldiers, Ma Zheng couldn't help but think of his time in Zhuangziying in March, when it was hard and fun, but when he recalled it now, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his chest, and the more Ma Zheng thought about it, the more he looked up to the sky The impulse of howling.

A gust of cold wind suddenly swirled around him, but he didn't know where it came from. It alarmed Ma Zheng to look back into the hall, but saw that more than a dozen lanterns, the oil lamps in the paper curtain, were also shaking.

Ordinary wind can't get into the lantern at all, unless it is.
"Uncle Third?"

A withered and familiar figure was sitting in front of the table. On the table was a booklet of secret books, and a withered yellow hand was slowly flipping through it. If Ma Zheng had just walked into the side hall, he would have thought that the old man had been sitting there all the time. , read all night.

"You did a good job. You have obtained the second level of mind so quickly. I am very satisfied with the third uncle."

Unlike Ma Zheng who wanted to comprehend carefully, the third uncle flipped through the secret book very quickly, almost turning a page after saying a word, and Ma Zheng couldn't believe that he could memorize it verbatim?

"I promised third uncle at the beginning, and it is a good thing to be able to complete it as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

The third uncle nodded softly, but his eyes never left the secret book for a moment, and his right hand always kept an even speed, turning the pages page by page.

"Shocking mentality is indeed one of the five unique skills. The second level alone is already so exquisite, not bad, but unfortunately my cultivation base is not enough. I can't rely on the second level of mentality to deduce the third level, so I still have to It’s hard work for you, Ma Zheng, to get the third level of mind as soon as possible.”

"Zheng naturally dare not forget for a moment."

Ma Zheng bowed his hands towards the back of the third uncle solemnly, but the third uncle seemed to be able to see it, and said:
"We didn't need to be so polite before. If you can learn the third level of mind, you will naturally become a master of Megatron. Hey, Ma Daoming would accept you as a foster son. I didn't expect that."

Seeing that the third uncle didn't turn his head, Ma Zheng frowned slightly, and muttered:

"Zheng also found it strange. I thought it was an agreement between my third uncle and Ma Daoming."

"How could there be an agreement between me and him? Oh, you want to talk about the waist card? The waist card is a favor he owed me by Ma Daoming back then. After giving you the waist card, it's clear, so you don't have to Doubt that there is any friendship between me and Ma Daoming."

"Then, what about Princess Qingping, does Third Uncle know her?"

"Princess Qingping? Is she here?"

The third uncle who had been flipping through the book suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng felt a "thump" in his heart, secretly thinking that he might be wrong to ask this recklessly.

Ma Zheng still doesn't know much about this world, probably because it is far from the history in his memory, especially some important figures, Ma Zheng is not even sure whether they have appeared.

For example, he only knows that the Han Emperor's orthodoxy has not been interrupted for 800 years, but Ma Zheng has no idea who is today and who is his ancestor. If Princess Qingping Liu Xu did not suddenly appear in his life, Ma Zheng would not have time Go take care of the royal business.

The third uncle in front of him had a surprised expression when he heard the name "Princess Qingping", which made Ma Zheng a little puzzled. He had suspected more than once that the third uncle and Princess Qingping were in the same group.

If it weren't for the third uncle's obsession with obtaining a complete set of mind-scaring techniques, Ma Zheng would even add Ma Daoming's name to it.

"It turns out that she is Princess Qingping. It seems that I am really old, and I can be mistaken."

After saying something like talking to himself, the third uncle shook his head, not even mentioning it, and continued to study the secret book.However, the secret book with more than a dozen pages and thousands of words was quickly flipped through by the third uncle, and what surprised Ma Zheng was that the third uncle only read it once, and didn't even read it a second time.

"Third Uncle, have you written it all down?"

"It's not difficult. It was painful when I was forced to endorse by my father."

"Oh?"

Hearing the third uncle open up the topic like this, Ma Zheng secretly slandered, from the incident of Ma Zhao being poisoned, Ma Zheng had already become wary of the third uncle.

"Ma Zheng, you've been lucky recently. You can even encounter something like chalcedony. How do you feel after taking it? Fortunately, it's water-based chalcedony, otherwise you're going to suffer more."

"Third Uncle, have you met Ma Zhao?"

Ma Zheng felt that only in this way could it make sense, otherwise only three people would know about it, how did the third uncle know about it.

"I don't have time to meet that idiot. Well, you are not in the realm, so naturally you feel good. Ma Daoming is also not deep enough in cultivation. Otherwise, if you let him know that you have taken chalcedony, I'm afraid he won't accept you as a Yizi, even at the risk of offending the princess, he will arrest you."

"Catch it? Uncle, don't you grab it and eat it?"

"It's almost the same. If you are arrested and you are not allowed to practice, chalcedony will exist in your body for a long time. Use your blood to make some pills, and the effect will be very good!"

"Then I have become a Tang monk?"

Ma Zheng slandered in his heart that there would definitely be no Journey to the West in this world, so Ma Zheng didn't dare to say it, but whispered: "Then what should I do?"

"It's a bit troublesome. Ma Daoming is not good at skills, but it doesn't mean that you won't be noticed after you go to Tianshui City. Well, fortunately, he gave you time to be alone, and just let the old man solve this problem for you."

Unexpectedly, the third uncle would take the initiative to help him. Ma Zheng was really touched at this moment, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the third uncle was also worried that he would not be able to get the last level of mentality, so he spared no effort.

Before Ma Zheng could figure it out, the third uncle had already moved over, sat Ma Zheng on the ground with both hands, and asked him to close his eyes at the same time, and adjust his breath as usual when he was practicing.

When Ma Zheng gradually entered the state, the third uncle's palms began to slap Ma Zheng. Even though he also closed his eyes at this time, he was always able to slap an inch in front of Ma Zheng's breath, as if he was doing it for him. Ma Zheng's internal qi cleared the way.

They seemed to be slapping Ma Zheng's body lightly, but strangely they didn't make any sound. One of them meditated while the other kept waving his hands, but the whole scene was silent, just like a scene in a silent movie.

As time passed, the skin wrapped by Ma Zheng's clothes was actually red in patches, as if someone had just scraped vigorously, and dots of black marks gradually emerged, and it even felt like they were about to drill out of the skin .

Ma Zheng, who was intoxicated by the smooth movement of breath in his body, didn't pay attention to the passage of time at all. When he opened his eyes and woke up from the state of trance, the sky outside had already brightened, and as for the third uncle, there was no trace of him.

First of all, Ma Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the performance of the third uncle last night, he probably didn't realize that Ma Zheng had discovered the problem in the bath potion. silence.
