The Book of Heaven

Chapter 9

Why did the Ma family's army not fear death on the battlefield?

It's not because they are naturally brave, but because they are driven by the male instinct in their bodies. They want to fight for the chance to continue their blood, fight for peace for their wives and children, and exchange their lives for a surname for their offspring!
If Ma Jing, like many of the Ma family's children, died on the border after heroically killing the enemy, then Ma Zheng would not be kicked out of the middle gate and survive on the periphery. Of course, Ma Zheng might not be the same today.

No one can tell what the chance was, but Ma Jing's death is suspicious. There are rumors among his disciples that Ma Jing committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, but the court did not say so because of the Ma family's face.

Because of this rumor, Ma Jing's wife was kicked out of the house on a pouring rainy night while holding the infant Ma Zheng.

Originally, they were going to be driven out of the fort gate. Fortunately, some of Ma Jing's life and death brothers joined forces to protect the helpless mother and child, but they could only survive on the periphery.

In the beginning, Ma Jing's brothers were still able to help Ma Zheng's mother and son from time to time, so Ma Zheng could barely eat until he was six years old. Gradually no one took care of them.

When Ma Zheng was ten years old, a serious illness took his mother's life. Ma Zheng became a real orphan. It is already a miracle that he survived to this day.

The three walked out for a long time, the silence was broken by the third uncle's sneer.

"It's only meaningful to survive. There are many martial arts geniuses in this Langlang universe, but I am a lunatic." The third uncle laughed at himself, and Ma Zheng's eyes became more and more confused.

"It is said that people have five elements, and superficial kung fu is nothing more than superficial kung fu. Anyway, there is no obvious difference between strength and weakness, but martial arts at such a high level as the frightening mind method are a bit mysterious. Not only will it exclude others, but it will also affect future generations. .”

The third uncle also mentioned last night that Ma Zheng, who should not have tolerated Lie Yang's sword qi, did not die. According to those statements, this is simply impossible.

"Third Uncle, can you be more specific. You want me, as a child of the Ma family, to practice martial arts that do not match my attributes, so as to prove your point?"

Ma Zheng, who was paralyzed in the chair, had nothing else to do. He was full of despair. Apart from the idea of ​​seeking revenge from the crazy woman, the unrealistic idea of ​​becoming a martial arts master was supporting him to survive. .

In fact, Ma Zheng didn't want to die, but he could only move from the neck up, so what's the point of being alive?If he could only be a "master" lying on the bed for the rest of his life, Ma Zheng felt that he would be as happy as dying now.

"There is still a mile to go, let's talk about it when we get to the ground." The third uncle raised his hand and stroked the hair that was fluttering on his forehead. After walking down the mountain road for a few hours, the smell of sweat on the mandrill's body could make Ma Zheng faint. Uncle didn't even have a single drop of sweat.

In order not to let himself be burned to death by curiosity, Ma Zheng could only take a deep breath, close his eyes and calm down.In the eyes of his third uncle, he couldn't help admiring Ma Zheng secretly, thinking that Ma Zheng was a man of talent, and being able to manage his emotions without being anxious in such a situation was really rare at this age.

Unknowingly, the third uncle looked at Ma Zheng with fanaticism, like a man who is about to sink into the water, seeing a life-saving straw, the last chance bestowed by God, even if it is desperate, he will go hold onto.

Ma Zheng didn't know that his third uncle was looking at him.When he closed his eyes, he was immediately shocked by a strange picture.

"This unscientific!"

Deep in Ma Zheng's heart, he suddenly shouted!

Just as the third uncle judged, Ma Zheng's mind is indeed far superior to that of his peers. Even if the scene in front of him is grotesque, beyond Ma Zheng's imagination, he can still close his eyes tightly and maintain a peaceful mind.

It's just that if you pay attention to Ma Zheng's eyelids, you will definitely find a slight tremor under them, which is the result of the high-speed movement of the eyeballs.After a long time, Ma Zheng didn't deliberately control his breathing, and his eyelids finally calmed down.

"This is the third secret I can't tell."

In his heart, Ma Zheng told himself secretly that under any circumstances, he could not tell what he saw just now, even if it was the third uncle.

It was at this time that Ma Zheng felt his body tremble, and he heard his third uncle say that he had reached the ground.

Ma Zheng quickly opened his eyes, at this time the mandrill was unloading the chair, as if setting a bundle of firewood.

"This is……"

According to the crevice of the cliff, a log house with a rough appearance was built close to the cliff. The doors and windows were opened facing the south. The doors and curtains were nailed with thick yellow bamboo sheets. A solid feeling.

"Third Uncle, you are... raising a foreign room?"

"Bullshit."

The third uncle held back a smile and tapped on Ma Zheng's forehead: "This is my shelter in the early years, let's go in and see if it can still be used."

Looking at the wooden house from a hundred steps away is different from looking at it from a few steps away.

The main body of the house is constructed of peeled logs. Although the height is less than one foot, it is enough for ordinary people. The door is almost as high as the roof. beam.

Originally, Ma Zheng thought it would be a mess inside, but when he came in, he only smelled a faint musty smell. The room was fairly clean. Only when he was indoors did he find that the logs that make up the walls looked rough but were actually tightly connected. Nature cannot flow, blocking dust and rain.

The ground is irregular cyan touchstone slabs, the big one is comparable to a round table, and the small one is not as good as a human head. Although it is not polished everywhere, the saving grace is that the inlays are tight.

The wooden house in the mountain is not to mention the number of people entering and leaving. It is roughly divided into three big rooms, two small rooms and five rooms with different functions. The big house where the mandrill enters with Ma Zheng on its back has an adobe-like platform.

Ma Zheng was put on the platform, and after touching it, he found that it was a complete stone. He couldn't help but feel happy, and wondered to himself, could there be something mysterious about this stone?
"It turned out to be an ordinary big rock."

After Ma Zheng patted and patted, he felt disappointed, and put aside unrealistic fantasies such as "thousand years of mysterious ice" and "thousand years of warm jade".

Just as he was looking at the room, the third uncle's head broke into his sight, sighing about the stubble and wrinkles on his face, and his slightly nervous smile, getting farther and farther away from the figure of the peerless master in Ma Zheng's mind.

"Do you feel dizzy, feverish, want to vomit or something else?" The two rows of porcelain white teeth opened and closed in front of Ma Zheng's eyes, which seemed to be another part of Third Uncle's body that was not like an ordinary person besides his eyes.

Ma Zheng secretly complained why he didn't pay attention to his third uncle's teeth before, and then thought that he had never seen his third uncle smile. If a person didn't have a sad face for many years, how could he be as wrinkled as old tree bark?
"Hey, are you deaf?"

"No. None of the feelings you asked me about." Ma Zheng said.

"In that case, do you want to hear about Lieyang Jianqi and the Zhao family?"
