Mr. Ma's fingertips rubbed the complicated patterns of the Samsara Cauldron with an intoxicating expression, as if caressing the jade-like skin of a girl.
Que Xiu had goosebumps all over his body, "Hey, this is too immersive, too..."
Hei Wuchang gave him a sharp look, and he suppressed the word "pervert".
"The general's body and mind are connected to the Samsara Cauldron, which controls the life and death of mortals. This cauldron is undoubtedly his wealth and life, and of course he cherishes it doubly."
Ma Xi had not yet come out of the sad story just now, her eyes were filled with sadness, "Uncle Hei, did Xuan Su die like this? She should have had a life-or-death love affair with Lao Ma?"
"That is the tenderest and most painful place in the general's heart. Don't pry around if you have nothing to do."
Marcy pouted, feeling very dissatisfied.
At this time, Lao Ma's fingertips wandered to the bottom edge of the cauldron, and suddenly it felt like an electric shock. He looked carefully and his expression changed drastically.
"Seal this place immediately, and the relevant personnel will strictly interrogate you. I want to see Yan Jun."
He looked panicked and completely lost his previous elegance and calmness. Marcy was very curious and just when he was about to ask, Mr. Ma had already disappeared.
"What? You're in a panic, and you don't even have a bit of grace." Masi turned to Hei Wuchang, "Uncle Hei, what happened?"
Hei Wuchang first made small buckles on the tripod, and then raised his fingertips as if holding a torch. Maxi and Que Xiu came over to take a closer look. Maxi didn't see the way and scratched his head, "It's just some dust, what's all the fuss about?" of?"
"These dusts seem to be the remnants of the ink pad. Could it be that someone has rubbed the lines of the Samsara Cauldron."
Hei Wuchang cast an approving look at Que Xiu, "These lines imply the survival trajectory and numerology of mortals. By studying the rubbing lines, you can know a person's numerology or where he hides."
Maxi's curiosity arose again, "Who is it? Making Lao Ma so nervous?"
"This is unknown. You two should leave immediately. I will investigate this matter strictly."
After leaving the Reincarnation Hall, Ma Xi thought hard and couldn't get an answer. She was so angry that she hit Que Xiu in the chest with a small fist. The pain made him grin and said reluctantly: "Miss, why did you hit me?"
"You're just a big punching bag, what do you think?"
Que Xiu secretly complained, thinking about how to tease her, so he said seriously: "I heard that Mr. Ma is considering betrothing you to General Niu Lan. The lady will soon have a better punching bag, so there will be no need for subordinates."
Ma Xi believed it to be true and reprimanded: "I haven't tortured him for a while, and then he rebelled. The toad wants to eat swan meat, so it's just the right time to teach him a lesson."
Ma Xi turned around and left like the wind. Que Xiu was relieved all of a sudden, feeling relaxed and cheerful.
Walking to the Confused Forest, black energy surged around me, and the old horse appeared in front of me. "I want you to carry out an urgent mission immediately. Follow me."
Que Xiu guessed that it must be related to the rubbing of the Samsara Cauldron just now. He tested it many times with his eyes, but Mr. Ma had no intention of answering.
Black energy surged from his fingertips, and he scratched through the void. A dark hole appeared out of thin air. Que Xiu followed him and stepped in. The scene in front of him turned around and saw a huge manor. The sky was hazy and the night was dark.
"This mission requires you to possess someone, so I found a suitable skin for you."
Que Xiu thought of Zhu Yuye and blurted out: "Don't let me possess a girl's body anymore. I feel that my yin energy is too strong and that I am effeminate. If I continue like this, I will have to change my gender."
Lao Ma smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm a man this time and I won't let you down."
Que Xiu followed him and looked around. He was very unfamiliar. He thought to himself that this place looked like the human world and the underworld. It was both. It was very weird. It seemed that this old horse had many secrets!
When entering the courtyard, an old man came forward and saluted, and the old man asked: "Are you ready?"
"As per your orders, General, I am in the main hall."
After a stick of incense, Mr. Ma appeared in a dilapidated town. The land was barren and ruins were everywhere. A gust of wind stirred up dust, and several wild dogs barked and fled in haste.
Next to him was a young man with handsome features. He looked around, curious about this desolate world.
"Are you satisfied with this skin?"
Que Xiu raised his arm. His skin was firm and delicate, and the breath of youth permeated his pores. "The body is strong and the senses are sharp. I hope I can be competent in the tasks assigned by you."
Lao Ma nodded with a long look, but did not mention the mission situation. He changed the topic: "Do you know anything about the seven demon blood clans?"
"I just know a little bit about it!" He suddenly thought of Situ Ying, and his heart twitched.
"One of the seven demon-blood clans is very special. According to legend, the ancestors are the weapons of immortals and demons. They are constantly soaked in the blood of the other party, become spiritual, and transform into human forms. Everyone in this clan can turn into weapons, and some even have special abilities. Attributes. What a magical and mysterious clan."
Que Xiu suddenly realized, "You are talking about the Demon Soldier Clan, right? Could it be that this skin of mine belongs to the Demon Soldier Clan?"
Lao Ma smiled and nodded, and the two continued to move forward and came to the city square. In it was a broken Tai Chi figure, cutting the town into two parts. "After thousands of years of continuous evolution, the Demon Soldier Clan has gradually split into two tribes. One tribe is friendly to humans and will usually accompany the person they like and become his weapon. It is called the Sword Spirit Clan."
"The other group of people are very resistant to human beings. They live alone and are keen on cultivating their own fighting power. They call themselves an authentic demon soldier family."
"According to what you said, the sword spirit is inherently good, but the demon soldier must be evil?"
Lao Ma smiled and shook his head, "How can it be that simple? Good and evil are inherently complicated things. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, righteousness and evil!"
Que Xiu looked around and saw ruins everywhere, with no trace of people at all. "It seems that this place was once a prosperous place, but it was abandoned and deserted for some reason?"
Mr. Ma did not answer, but gestured for him to enter the center of Tai Chi, and then recited a spell. Silver light rose from the edge of the figure, getting stronger and stronger, reaching to the sky, like an elevator ascending to the sky. Suddenly, his eyesight dimmed and then brightened. Que Xiu looked at To another scene.
The sky was dark and dark clouds were looming, as if they would never dissipate. On the cliff, strong winds and deep cold hit, making people feel endless fear.
Under the cliff, there is no bottom, and the mist rolls, like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing everything. A chill ran down Que Xiu's back, "We're not going to go down to the bottom of the cliff, are we?"
"It's not us, it's you!" Lao Ma said: "This is the secret realm of the Demon Soldier clan, called the Sword Tomb. It is the place where Demon Soldiers were born and died."
Que Xiu stretched out his head and looked around, seeing dark vortices condensed in the mist, flickering on and off like eyes, as if penetrating the soul and making people fall into trance. His mind went blank and he almost lost his footing and fell off the cliff.
Lao Ma grabbed his arm, "You feel the call from the souls of your ancestors, and you can't wait? Don't worry, I still want to explain it clearly to you."
Que Xiu thought to himself, "Why can't the devil wait any longer? Let this weird thing end as soon as possible!"
"According to legend, the members of the Demon Soldier clan turned into weapons after death and were buried in the sword tomb below. However, newly-adult clan members have to go down to the bottom of the cliff, touch the bodies of their ancestors, and accept the shapes and attributes of the weapons gifted by their ancestors before they can transform into weapons. ."
"Remember, once you touch a weapon, it will inherit its shape and attributes. Never touch other weapons, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
"What would happen if two weapons were touched?"
"The two forces repel each other, and the body will be torn into pieces. I'm afraid there will be no chance of climbing up the cliff again."
Que Xiu nodded solemnly, stretched out the sleeves of the old horse's robe, and a dark vine grew under his feet, hanging straight to the bottom of the cliff. Que Xiu grabbed the black vine, followed it downwards, and quickly disappeared into the mist.
For a moment, the mist was stirred, boiling like a boiling pot, and several rays of silver lightning tore it apart. Then, red rays of light appeared one after another, surging like earthly fire, erupting upward at any time.
For a moment, the wind was calm, and Que Xiu climbed up along the black vine. His body was blackened, his hair stood up, and he looked quite embarrassed.
"Sir, are you trying to hurt me on purpose? It turns out that when I held the hilt of the sword, a thunderbolt hit me, and I was shocked to the point that my skin was charred and my skin was crispy. Also, a huge fire-breathing earthworm crawled out of the ground and almost burned me to black charcoal..."
Lao Ma said calmly: "If you can't overcome these difficulties, then you will let me down." He changed the topic: "Let me see your results."
Que Xiu's heart moved at will, and he jumped up. Suddenly it turned into a long red sword and fell into the hands of Lao Ma. He stretched it into the wind, and the hot sword energy immediately suppressed the coldness.
"The shape of the device is perfect and its properties are powerful. It's very good..."
A moment later, Lao Ma and Que Xiu stood on the top of another mountain. Milky white fog filled the air, and their eyes were filled with chaos. Mr. Ma said sternly: "I will use magic to open a gap in the barrier. You can quickly enter in the shape of a sword. Remember to stop completely before turning into a human form. The same applies when you come out."
"Why do you have to enter and exit in sword form?"
"This barrier is so powerful that any living thing that tries to cross it will be destroyed."
"What's inside the barrier?"
Lao Ma's face changed slightly, and he said seriously: "Those have nothing to do with the mission! You go back as soon as possible, don't delay, because the passage won't last long!"
Mr. Ma whispered to him again, and then used his full strength. The jet black robe moved automatically without wind, and the dark black light penetrated the milky white mist. He pulled with his fingertips, and a dark gap slowly opened in the white mist, like a strange eye. Que Xiu jumped up and turned into a sword, and a red light shot into the crack.
When he turned into a human form, he was surrounded by white clouds and mist, and an altar stood in the clouds. Nine black dragon-shaped statues are distributed in a circle, with the dragon heads facing outward, overlooking the sky. The place where the tail meets the tail is engraved with complicated seals, and the dense lines continue to the dragon body.
Que Xiu stepped forward, took out a golden talisman, placed it on the seal, and then recited the incantation silently. The talisman turned into golden light, blending into the seal and the veins of the dragon's body. The altar trembled, and then calmed down.
Que Xiu was still waiting for the earth-shaking movement, otherwise he would be a little disappointed in his heart.
He wanted to study the altar more carefully, but suddenly the storm rolled over, and the dark cracks flickered and seemed to disappear at any time. He quickly jumped up and turned into a sword, and went straight into the gap. At the same time, there was an explosion, rays of light, and then calmness returned...
