From what the old man said just now, Ma Xiaoquan thought that the haunting of Mingsha Village was just a myth. Why did the old man say it was haunted when it was related to the granary?
"Well" Ma Xiaoquan thought to himself while dragging his chin, "It seems that it is really necessary to stay a few more days."
After bidding farewell to the old man, Ma Xiaoquan led a group of brave Cao soldiers to the center of Mingsha Village and saw the big granary that the old man mentioned.
"Oh, this is it..." Ma Xiaoquan walked around the granary several times, carefully looking at the structure of the granary.
It seems that this large granary has been repaired recently, but the repair marks are not obvious.
Ma Xiaoquan used to be a special forces soldier, and later joined the Extreme Force. Naturally, these small traces cannot be hidden from Ma Xiaoquan's eyes.
Feeling the traces of repairs, Ma Xiaoquan concluded that the so-called haunting incident should be caused by someone pretending to be a ghost.
A Cao soldier stepped forward and said in a nonchalant voice: "Master Shangxian, did you see something?"
Ma Xiaoquan was secretly happy in his heart and decided to tease these Cao soldiers, so he pretended to say: "Well, I didn't see it, but I smelled a demonic aura!"
"Demon...evil spirit?" Cao Bing swallowed after hearing this, "Master Shangxian, I think we should get some food and leave quickly?"
Ma Xiaoquan frowned: "What are you talking about? Who had the courage to say that he wanted to come in with me?"
Cao Bing said: "That's because others pushed me out. I didn't want to come myself..."
Ma Xiaoquan: "...Okay, if you are afraid, just go out first."
When the Cao soldiers heard this, they sighed and ran outside the village with their spears in hand. However, before they could get far, the Cao soldiers came back again.
"Lord Immortal"
Ma Xiaoquan was delighted: "Why are you back?"
"I thought Master Shangxian was short of manpower, so I came back, hehe!"
Ma Xiaoquan did not expose his timidity and waved his hand to let Cao's soldiers join the team.
"Give me the order. Watch this granary first and don't take action. Whenever I have an idea, you can take action again."
"yes!"
...
At night, Ma Xiaoquan led a group of Cao soldiers to warm themselves in front of the granary.
"Take the torch far away and don't set the granary on fire. If you make any mistakes, I will not spare you!"
All the Cao soldiers laughed and took the torch farther away. They also built a rack with iron weapons and placed them in front of the torch as a blocker.
A Cao soldier came forward and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Master Shangxian, it's almost the second watch, why haven't you seen ghosts yet?"
Ma Xiaoquan kicked Cao Bing: "You bitch, you were moaning and groaning to escape during the day. Why, now you are unwilling to see a ghost?"
Cao Bing chuckled and scratched his scalp: "I just want to ask, if the ghost comes out, wouldn't you be there with Master Shangxian? Hehe. Besides, what if it is a beautiful female ghost?
?Right, Master Shangxian, hehe..."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Go, go, go, get rid of the glib guy..."
"What about you, Lord Immortal?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I am a god. I can rest or not. You can go and rest."
"Alas alas"
Cao's soldiers lay down to rest one by one, leaving only Ma Xiaoquan sitting quietly cross-legged by the fire with his eyes open.
"It's been a long time since I stayed up late..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, remembering what happened when he was a special forces soldier:
One time, he went on a mission to a certain border. In order to ambush a gang of ruthless bandits who often crossed the border to commit crimes, Ma Xiaoquan lay down in a hidden place for three days and two nights without eating, drinking or sleeping...
Thinking of what happened in the past, although it was painful, Ma Xiaoquan still smiled happily because he could be with his companions.
Even now, since joining the Extreme Raiders, my teammates in the team have become as close to me as family...
"I wonder if those guys are okay? Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head and was about to stand up when suddenly, a cold wind hit behind his head.
"There's a situation!" Ma Xiaoquan quickly fell down professionally and threw himself to the side.
As soon as he left the spot, he heard two "whoosh" sounds, and then, there was a "boom" sound where Ma Xiaoquan had been sitting before, and a wooden stick with a sour smell suddenly hit the ground.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan took a closer look and used the firelight to see. It turned out that there were a few sour fruits stuck on the stick.
Cao Cao's soldiers reacted quickly. They woke up as soon as Ma Xiaoquan left the place.
Yi Cao Bing drew his sword and ran over: "Sir Shangxian, what's going on?"
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand, meaning not to speak.
At this time, there were two more "swish" sounds, and two more small wooden sticks appeared from the ground.
Ma Xiaoquan easily pulled out a wooden stick, held it in front of his eyes, looked at it and smelled it carefully.
Although there was a sour smell on the stick, based on experience, Ma Xiaoquan judged that the sour smell was not poisonous.
"Yeah!" Ma Xiaoquan threw away the wooden stick and yelled: "Your Excellency is hiding your head and tail, why don't you come out and see me?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a woman's voice floating in the distance: "Why do you want to come here?"
The woman's voice sounded very ethereal, and Ma Xiaoquan could not determine the source of the voice, so he could only continue to yell: "We are just passing by here because we are short of food. If you are interested, you can sell some to us."
"Sell? What do you use to buy it?"
Ma Xiaoquan pointed to a treasure drive behind him: "The car is full of treasures. If you like, you can take them away. However, if you do this, then I will have to take away all the food in the entire granary!"
No response.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "I wonder if that's okay?"
Still no response.
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "In that case, I will take it as your acquiescence!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the female voice sounded again: "You can change it if you want? What if I want your life?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "You can kill me, but you have to let my men go. How about that?"
"Ah ha ha ha... It's my business whether to let you go or not. You are in my hands now, and your lives are under my control. Why do you want to negotiate terms with me?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed, and when he concentrated a little, his right hand suddenly burst into flames.
"Why should I? Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan slowly walked towards the granary and stretched out his right hand. The crimson flame on his hand was less than a foot away from the granary. "If you don't let them go, I will kill them."
Fire will burn this place down!"
The female voice roared: "You don't need to threaten me. What will happen if you burn down the granary?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Did I say we would only burn the granary? Didn't you hear clearly? I mean, I will burn all of this place, Mingsha Village, and so on, so that you, a lonely ghost, will not harm the people every night.
!”
"How wanton!" As soon as the female voice finished, the trees in all directions began to rustle.
There is no wind tonight, and the trees cannot rustle.
Ma Xiaoquan had seen a lot of pretense before, so he was not surprised. However, this group of Cao soldiers were usually very powerful in battle, but the trees here were making noises, and everyone was scared to death.
A Cao soldier was the first to kneel on the ground and cried: "Spare my life, spare my life... I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a three-year-old child..."
When one coward opens his mouth, more cowards will soon join him.
At some time, a large number of voices begging for mercy rang out from the center of Mingsha Village.
Ma Xiaoquan knew that he could not control the thoughts of these people, so he was not too pushy. After all, people in this era still believed in ghosts, gods and demons.
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "You can scare the common people. If you have the ability, why don't you come to me?"
"I'm an immortal?"
Ma Xiaoquan shouted: "Yes, I am the Immortal. I am the third disciple of Huang Shigong. Zuo Cizuo Gong is also my master!"
Ma Xiaoquan told the truth in the first half of the sentence, but she made it up in the second half.
However, just because of Ma Xiaoquan's words, the other party seemed to be quiet.
After a while, the female voice asked again: "Huang Shigong has already gone to the west, and he has only one disciple. He is the founder of the great ancestor Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang. You said that you are Huang Shigong's third disciple. Then, I
Let me ask you, who is Huang Shigong’s second disciple?”
Ma Xiaoquan frowned and suddenly remembered something.
Theoretically speaking, Zhang Liang is indeed regarded as Huang Shigong's student, and the second in line should be Ma Xiaoquan's young wife, Ling'er.
However, Ma Xiaoquan once talked about this matter with Ling'er, and Ling'er's answer at that time was that before her, the master had one disciple besides Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang. If the order is followed, Ma Xiaoquan should be regarded as the fourth disciple.
But Ling'er married him, and the daughter followed her husband, so Ma Xiaoquan took away Ling'er's third disciple status.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Who are you, Mr. Huang Shi?"
No response.
Ma Xiaoquan continued helplessly: "Actually, after calculation, I should be Master Huang Shigong's fourth apprentice, but Master's third apprentice, ah, is my senior sister, um, now she is my daughter-in-law, and she married me
, I am the third disciple..."
The female voice shouted: "Let me ask you, who is Huang Shigong's second disciple?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "To be honest, I don't know either!"
"You lied!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xiaoquan felt like someone had slashed his face.
I touched it with my hand, and sure enough, there was blood.
"What a fast knife!" Ma Xiaoquan lowered his head alertly, protecting his vitals.
"Stab" was heard again, and Ma Xiaoquan's right arm was slashed again.
"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt surprised.
Judging from the strength of the wound, it was absolutely impossible for the other party to injure him with a hidden weapon from a distance. Either there were several people on the other side, or the other party must have incredible abilities.
For example, superpowers that have always been banned in the underground world.
"Impossible!" As soon as he thought of this, Ma Xiaoquan immediately rejected this unrealistic idea.
Mingfa once said that all the superpowers formed in the underground world are all due to the source of time, and the heart of time in his body is also a companion product of the source of time. Moreover, the underground world is modern, not ancient.
If we must say that people in this era have super powers, then the probability can be said to be one in a billion. However, Ma Xiaoquan must have concluded that someone is pretending to be a ghost.
"You are not a ghost!" Ma Xiaoquan shouted.
"Why do you think I'm not a ghost?"
Ma Xiaoquan did not answer, he just stretched out his hand and ordered the frightened Cao soldiers to withdraw.
These Cao soldiers couldn't wait any longer. As soon as Master Shangxian gave the order, they all didn't even want their weapons, picked up their trousers and grabbed their clothes and ran away.
In the empty center, only Ma Xiaoquan was left.
"Okay, they are all gone, can you come out now?"
"Hahaha..." The female voice laughed, and her smile seemed miserable.
"Okay! Since you insist on thinking that I am not a ghost, then I will kill you!"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "I'm afraid you can't kill me!"
"presumptuous!"
...
With the enemy in the open and the enemy in the dark, Ma Xiaoquan was unable to determine where the opponent was. Within a few rounds, Ma Xiao's body had been scratched several times.
"How is that possible?" Ma Xiaoquan clearly felt that the aura was around him, but every time he made the right judgment and tried to catch it, he couldn't catch anything.
"Pfft" came out again, and Ma Xiaoquan's thigh was scratched.
Ma Xiaoquan's lower body is invincible, so he doesn't feel any pain at all.
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan smoothed his pants, he heard the female voice say: "Okay, I've had enough fun, you should be able to die too!"
