Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 142 Shocked to hear about Wu Ming

The crisis in "Thunderbolt Hall" this time came unjustly and went away easily.

Lei Wanting announced that after being introduced by the leader of the "Wanma Hall", the "Perak Hall" will cooperate with the Liaodong General Military Mansion and will soon send his eldest son "Little Thunder God" Lei Jin to lead a group of master craftsmen who make gunpowder firearms. Division, went to the outside of the Pass to open a branch of "Perak Hall", specifically to build firearms and ordnance for the Liaodong Army.

When the news came out, the Tang Sect, which was preparing to take further actions against "Perak Hall" and was bound to force it to submit, immediately restrained its minions, and other forces that were planning to further invade "Perak Hall" also stopped their efforts.

Although all Jianghu people look down on the government, it is the consensus of all Jianghu people not to provoke the government easily.

After all, people in the world of martial arts also need to eat. Apart from the truly carefree solo travellers, the people in the world of martial arts who have families and businesses, no matter how high your martial arts skills are or how famous you are, you still have to give some face to the government.

The reason why Ma Kongqun facilitated this matter was that Yang Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, had recently decided to retire, and his other identity, Ma Ji, had basically gotten through the joints, and the matter of taking over as commander-in-chief was almost certain. After taking military power in Liaodong, he was able to put some of his early plans into practice; secondly, he had not forgotten the unlucky thing about Tang Kong from the Tang Sect. Since Tang Kong had died under Mei Shuying's sword in Huashan, Then the means of revenge will fall on the Tang Clan behind it.

The matter here had just been concluded when he suddenly received an urgent letter from Wang Qiong through the "Xuanbu" channel of the "Wanma Hall". He only opened it and read it once. His face suddenly changed color and he sent all the accompanying Flying Eagle Guards. Abandoned, he rode the "Dark Lord" alone and rushed back to the outside of the pass as fast as he could.

He took advantage of the darkness to come to the residence belonging to "Ma Ji", sneaked into the house through a secret passage, opened the secret door in a study room that was always forbidden to others, and walked out. He also changed into Ma Ji's appearance.

After coming out of the study, he went straight to the courtyard where he lived. When he entered the door, he saw the old man Rui Xuan, whom he had not seen for several years, sitting leisurely in a rocking chair. His wife Wang Qiong held the child and sat beside him, talking quietly to him.

At this moment, although Wang Qiong tried his best to put on a happy face and said happy things, he could not hide the sadness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Before Ma Kongqun entered the door, old man Ruixuan had already turned his gaze this way.

"Master!" Ma Kongqun called and stepped forward.

"Husband, Master..." Seeing Ma Kongqun return, Wang Qiong's suppressed grief burst out immediately, and she burst into tears after only half a sentence.

Xiao Qingfeng in her arms seemed to sense his mother's sadness, and he curled up his little mouth and burst into tears.

Rui Xuan sat up straight, shook his head at Wang Qiong and said with a smile: "Silly boy, if you are a teacher of such an age, even if you die today, it would still be considered a joy and mourning. Why do you have to act like a child? You don't have to treat me." My little grandchildren were all shocked.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Qingfeng in his arms, shaking his arms gently a few times.

Xiao Qingfeng seemed to sense the old man's kindness and peaceful aura, and gradually stopped crying. He stared at the old man's hanging beard with dark eyes, and stretched out his little hands to grab it.

Instead of hiding, the old man deliberately brought his long beard close to the child and swept it across the child's face, making the child giggle.

Ma Kongqun put his arms around Wang Qiong, patted her back with his palms to comfort her, and asked in a deep voice: "Master, who can actually hurt you?"

The first time he saw Rui Xuan, he could see that the old man had suffered serious internal injuries. At this moment, he was just relying on the "Four-Illumination Magic Skill" that he had practiced for decades to barely suppress the injuries, but his body was also already damaged. Extremely weak.

Wang Qiong also gritted his teeth and said: "Master, you were unwilling to tell me about this before. Now that your husband has come back, with him by your side, you no longer have to worry about me acting recklessly."

Rui Xuan sighed: "I returned to Middle-earth with serious injuries because I wanted to warn you. What happened this time was actually caused by the teacher's curiosity that got me into trouble..."

It turned out that he had been drifting on the East China Sea and the South China Sea by boat in these years, looking for the location of the legendary "Fairy Gate". He would only find land or islands to anchor when he needed to replenish supplies and repair the ship.

Over the past few years, although the old man has not found any trace of the "Xianmen", he has seen a lot of overseas customs and customs, and also learned several foreign languages. He has gained a lot and is very interested. Once he was drifting randomly on the sea, and he saw several recently dead corpses floating on the sea. It seemed that they were all thrown into the sea after being infected by the epidemic. He only didn't know whether they were alive or dead when they were abandoned.

If they were the corpses of ordinary people, the old man wouldn't pay too much attention to them, but these seven or eight corpses were all children of seven or eight years old, including boys and girls. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they seemed to come from the Middle Earth, which made him feel a little weird. .

Curious for a moment, the old man calculated the direction and speed of the water flow, and asked the sailors on the boat to catch up to see what happened.

After chasing for a while at full speed, another sea ship appeared in front of us.

When the distance between the two ships was close, the old man used Qinggong to fly to the ship, and used some tricks to control everyone on the ship. Then he found more than thirty imprisoned boys and girls in the cabin on the bottom floor. The youngest was four years old and the oldest was no more than three years old. They are ten years old and most of them look sickly.

The old man was furious and interrogated the people on the ship one by one. He learned that they were peripheral forces of a mysterious island. Their duty was to search for qualified children in the Central Plains and send a batch to the owner of the island every year.

So far, they have sent six batches of no less than 200 children.

As for the identity of the island owner and the purpose of these children, they knew nothing about it. They just sent the children every time and the island owner's men would take them over.

Rui Xuan became more and more curious and wanted to know where the island was, who the owner of the island was, and why so many children were needed. So he sent these children to his ship and ordered the sailors to send them back to China to live a happy life. He stayed on the ship and forced everyone on the ship to take him to the mysterious island.

When he arrived on the island, the old man saw an extremely cruel scene. Some children, no more than ten years old, were playing the most primitive and cruel hunting game in a wild jungle on the island.

Seeing these boys and girls using various methods and killing each other as prey without hesitation, the old man knew that they had done the same thing many times.

Recalling that the people on the boat said that more than 200 children had been sent, but the number in front of him was only thirty at most, the old man guessed the fate of the remaining children. They had always been floating outside the world of mortals and rarely cared about the rights and wrongs of the world. He also had the urge to quickly get rid of the owner of the island.

However, before he could go looking for him, the island owner discovered his existence and took the initiative to show up to meet him. He was an amiable-looking little old man who called himself "Wu Ming".

Faced with the old man's questioning, Wu Ming frankly admitted that he was using this method of survival of the fittest to select talents to help him do something in the future.

Rui Xuan saw the other party's calm expression and his attitude of treating the lives of hundreds of innocent children as nothing, so he immediately took action with anger.

When Wu Ming calmly received the blows and fought back, the old man discovered that this man's martial arts were so profound and exquisite that it reached an unbelievable level.

If the old man's martial arts is still at its peak, even if he still can't do anything to the opponent, he can still escape calmly.

However, when he helped Wang Qiong open up his meridians and cultivate the "Four-Illumination Magic Skill", his own losses were actually huge, and even damaged his origin. Although he continued to practice and recuperate at sea for several years, he was never able to fully recover.

As a result, the old man suffered a big loss in the battle with Wu Ming. In the end, he had to bear his finger to escape, and he grabbed a boat at the beach and fled back to China.

After hearing the whole story, Ma Kongqun was greatly surprised: "If that little old man Wu Ming is indeed capable of hurting Master, why does he look like a little old man now?"
