In the entire Panlong Village, there are only three families with surnames: Ma, Gao and Sun.
The previous patriarch was from the Sun family, whose full name was Sun Yaowu.
The new patriarch is called Ma Boliang, and he and Ma Tingyou are brothers from the same clan. Among the five people who were killed that year, there was a cousin of Ma Boliang, so Ma Boliang would be extremely angry when Ma Tingyou was mentioned.
Although Panlong Village has inherited the practice method, due to different personal qualifications, only a few dozen people can really achieve some success.
What Yang Haoran didn't expect was that Ma Boliang had a very high opinion of Ma Guoxuan, who brought Yang Haoran here.
"Ma Guoxuan is a loyal person and is not afraid of hardship. Moreover, he is very consistent with the spiritual practice of the witch god lineage. His future achievements will definitely be higher than mine.
After a few years of hard training, the future position of clan leader will fall on him."
Yang Haoran was slightly surprised, but he was a little mistaken. If Ma Boliang hadn't mentioned it, he would have just regarded Ma Guoxuan as a strange person with natural supernatural powers.
"Let's see, when you go to look for traces of evil spirits, I'll ask Ma Guoxuan to take you there.
With his ability, as long as he does not enter Majia Lake, there will be no danger. Moreover, he is naturally active, and he has been to all the nearby mountains, big and small, and is more familiar with them than others."
"Then I'd like to thank you in advance."
"Thank you, this is also a big problem for us. If it can be completely eliminated, it can also prevent future generations from making the same mistakes as Ma Tingyou and Gao Xinpei."
Yang Haoran stayed in the temple. Someone brought Ma Boliang food in the evening. It was Ma Boliang's wife, a very simple mountain village woman.
The woman felt a little restrained when she saw Yang Haoran. When Ma Boliang mentioned that Yang Haoran was Li Yaochen's friend, the woman smiled and said hello.
Ma Boliang also asked his wife to prepare a few more days of dry food for Yang Haoran to take on the road.
Because in this vast mountain, if you want to find a place that you don’t even know where it is, who knows how long it will take.
In the evening, after understanding it, he called Ma Guoxuan to the temple and told Yang Haoran's story. Ma Guoxuan readily agreed.
Early the next morning, Ma Boliang's wife took the prepared dry food bag to the temple, and Ma Boliang handed it to Yang Haoran.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, be very careful when you go there, and remember not to enter the depths of Majia Lake to avoid danger."
Ma Guoxuan interjected from the side: "Okay, patriarch, I know all this, and I will take good care of Brother Yang."
Ma Boliang glared at Ma Guoxuan: "I just said it because I don't trust you. Remember, you must not wander in out of curiosity. You know how powerful Majia Lake is!"
Half an hour later, Yang Haoran and Ma Guoxuan had climbed over a hill, and there was no trace of Panlong Village at all.
Gao Xinpei once told Yang Haoran about the general path, but it was not very clear. There was still a main direction. Yang Haoran described Gao Xinpei's words to Ma Guoxuan exactly.
"The mountains are different from other places. There are no roads here at all. It was a complete accident. Especially after more than thirty years, except for the direction, the rest is probably difficult to find.
But according to the characteristics you described, it looks like a group of caves I once visited, close to Majia Lake. Maybe we can go there and try our luck.
But the distance is not close, so we definitely don’t have enough dry food with us, so we can only think of ways to save some and eat some on our own on the way.”
Yang Haoran laughed: "You don't have to worry about dry food, I will find a way. Fruit or game, you can choose whatever you want."
"Hey, the game in the mountains is not that easy to fight. They run away very fast and disappear in a short while."
As soon as Ma Guoxuan finished speaking, he saw Yang Haoran pick up a stone from the ground and throw it out.
With a whooshing sound, Yang Haoran's body also followed. Weizun Academy
Just when Ma Guoxuan looked surprised, Yang Haoran had already come back carrying a dead rabbit.
"Why are you so powerful? If I have skills like yours, I won't have to worry about hunting in the future. Can you teach me?"
Ma Guoxuan's eyes were burning, and he looked straight at the hare in Yang Haoran's hand. He was really envious.
"It's okay to teach you, but this thing can't be learned in a day or two."
Ma Guoxuan nodded vigorously: "I know this. The clan leader also told me that this is called water dripping over time. With your ability, we won't starve to death even if we stay in the mountains for several months."
The two of them continued on the road, and Yang Haoran taught Ma Guoxuan the trick of breaking stones from time to time, which was not boring at all.
Because Ma Guoxuan had a rough location, they rushed all the way. After two days of walking, the two finally arrived at the place Ma Guoxuan thought.
Yang Haoran stood on a high place and looked around, then compared the characteristics that Gao Xinpei had mentioned, and found that many places overlapped.
Ma Guoxuan pointed to the location halfway up the mountain in front of him.
"This is the cave entrance you mentioned. I have only discovered this place before, but I have never seen any evil spirits or anything like that."
Yang Haoran looked in the direction of Ma Guoxuan's finger.
"Have you ever been inside?"
"Of course I have been there, but it was like a maze inside. I didn't dare to go deeper. I walked out after walking for a while. Are you sure this is the place?"
"I can't confirm it, but it sounds very similar to what Gao Xinpei said.
It is indeed a maze-like cave. The two of them were chasing a pangolin into it at that time, so they should be very deep. Go over and have a look."
Yang Haoran jumped off the stone and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, Yang Haoran stopped.
"Wait for me outside. I'll go in and take a look. Remember not to run around."
Ma Guoxuan glared: "Why do you want me to wait for you outside? I'd better go in with you."
"I'm afraid of danger."
"You're not afraid, so why should I be afraid? I'm much more familiar with this place than you are."
As he spoke, Ma Guoxuan had already dived in.
Yang Haoran did not persist. He had specifically tested Ma Guoxuan's strength before, which was equivalent to the peak strength of An Jin. He was also an incredible figure outside.
If you encounter any danger, you won't be helpless.
It wasn't until he actually arrived inside the cave that Yang Haoran truly understood the meaning of the maze.
There were at least five branches, which made Yang Haoran completely unable to choose. In the end, he could only do what Ma Guoxuan said, just choose one and try his luck.
At worst, it's just a matter of quitting and walking through it all over again.
This was also a hopeless method, and the two of them kept going deeper into the cave.
Fortunately, both of them have the ability to see in the dark, otherwise it would be really difficult to move forward in this pitch-black environment.
After walking for forty minutes, Yang Haoran suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.
