In the courtyard of a quaint building, a boy of about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a cyan uniform, wielded a wooden sword under a large tree.The little boy waved very hard, and a trace of sweat oozed from his contoured little face, but he didn't care.Just when the little boy was dancing the sword, an old man wearing a Tai Chi Taoist uniform with a white beard mysteriously appeared behind the little boy, looking at the little boy's hard work, and nodded with satisfaction."
Makong, take a break."
Hearing the words of the old man behind him, the little boy immediately turned around and respectfully bowed to the old man, "Yes, Master." ”The little boy wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the ground and began to rest, while the old Taoist priest touched the little boy's little head lovingly and said: "Ma Kong, you are the most qualified one in this group of disciples, work hard, the future of Maoshan will depend on you in the future, if there is anything you don't understand, come and tell me, I will help you answer any questions." ”Hearing the words of the old Taoist, the little boy suddenly fell silent, lowered his little head for a long time before raising his head, his eyes were slightly red, and said: "Master, do you say that it is a mistake for me to learn the Tao, why are my parents and family so opposed to letting me learn a trade, and support my family in the future" Hearing the little boy say this, the old Taoist priest sighed slightly, squatted down and looked at the little boy and said: "Ma Kong, you have to understand that the thinking of mortals is different from that of us cultivators, and the reason why mortals are called mortals, It is because they only have survival and life in their minds, and they do not have the morality and responsibility of us cultivators, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and you don't have to take this matter to heart, and when you become a little successful one day and make a name for yourself in the world, then your parents will naturally understand you at that time. ”"Really" Hearing the old Taoist priest's words, the little boy's eyes flashed and he looked up and said.The old Taoist priest nodded and said: "Well, it will definitely be like this, you have been interested in Taoism since you were a child, and your future achievements must be limitless, if a person works hard to do something, and it is something he is interested in, then he will definitely succeed, I will watch you mature step by step, and the future of Maoshan will be handed over to you." ”More than ten years later, this little boy has grown into a handsome young man, and has been recognized by the old Taoist priest, who passed on the Maoshan missionary jade pendant and the Taiji Sword, the weapon of the master, to him, and listed this young man as the next Maoshan master.On this day, the old Taoist priest called the young man and another dumbfounded young man, looked at the two people carefully, and said to the young man in a serious tone: "Ma Kong, now with your strength, you can already be on your own, this time it is up to you and Ma Yuan to go down the mountain to investigate the whereabouts of the annihilation." ”The young man nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely find out the true identity and news of the annihilation, and then come back to report to you." ”The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, and suddenly sighed and said, "Ma Kong, in fact, there is another very important purpose for letting you go down the mountain this time, that is, a workout for yourself." ”"I've been calculating these days, calculating that you will have a calamity in the near future, if you survive it, then your Dao heart will be completely consolidated, and your cultivation and realm will climb to a peak, but if you can't get through, this calamity is likely to become your death calamity" Hearing the word death calamity, the young man's eyes instantly appeared a little flustered, and the dumb young man behind him said urgently: "Master, are you saying that senior brother will have a death calamity when he goes down the mountain this time, so why don't I go down alone, let senior brother stay in Maoshan to meditate with peace of mind." ”The old Taoist priest glanced at the young man helplessly and said: "Ma Yuan, you are kind-hearted, you have a rare pure heart, this is also a major force in cultivation, the Taoist heart has long been stable, nothing will happen, but your qualifications are a little dull, otherwise your achievements will not be worse than Ma Kong." ”As he spoke, the old Taoist priest raised his head and looked at the young man with a complicated face and said: "Ma Kong, you are born with a rebellious nature, your Dao heart is unstable, and you are destined to have this calamity, this time you can only rely on your own ability to deal with it, I can't help you, but before you go down the mountain, I have two things to tell you." ”"First, your junior brother Ma Yuan's strength is not good, if you encounter danger, I hope you can protect him."
The young man nodded solemnly and said, "Master, don't worry, I grew up with my junior brother since I was a child, and I will treat him as my own brother, and I will never let him have anything to do." ”The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, and then continued: "Second, I want to send you a word, there is true love in the world, if the world is really ruthless, then what is the difference between the world and hell" Ma Yuan's senior brother Ma Kong stood behind Ma Yuan tremblingly, and these pictures of the past kept appearing in his mind, and the heart in his body that had been contaminated with black gas and turned black gradually appeared a trace of blood.However, at the same time, Wang Xu and others were surprised to find that Ma Kong's pair of dark eyes, the black in the right eye actually gradually receded, but in a few seconds, Ma Kong's right eye completely returned to the appearance of a normal person, not only that, but even the right half of Ma Kong's face did not have a trace of evil spirit, if you only look at the right half of Ma Kong's face at this time, it is completely like a sunny boy next door.As the right half of Ma Kong's face returned to normal, Ma Kong's right eye suddenly flashed a trace of ferocity, and he actually raised his right hand directly and hit his left hand hard, directly breaking all the bones of his left hand "Senior Brother" Seeing Ma Kong's behavior, Ma Yuan hurriedly shouted, but then, Ma Kong seemed to be relieved, and said to Ma Yuan with a warm smile: "Senior brother, thank you for your hard work." ”Listening to Ma Kong's familiar tone, Ma Yuan could finally be sure that the senior brother he remembered who had been taking care of him had finally come back completely.And Wang Xu and Chang Feng naturally saw this scene, and they were also surprised in their hearts, but they didn't expect Ma Kong to actually stop the precipice and recover his heart and will at a critical moment.Ma Kong looked at Ma Yuan, whose eyes were slightly red, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Senior brother, since I was a child, I have always been helping you, and today you will also help me a favor, okay" "Okay, no problem, senior brother, if you have anything, just tell me" Ma Yuan reached out and rubbed his eyes and smiled.Ma Kong smiled slightly and didn't answer, stared at Ma Yuan's face for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the defenseless Ma Yuan aa2705221 without anyone expecting it:
