"What's going on?"
Zhuge Qing and Wang also frowned.
"This is too much trouble to explain. Come with me, three of you."
As he spoke, Ma Xianhong turned around and led the way.
Wang Ye, Zhuge Qing and Liu Dang were walking on the mountain road into the mountain while listening to Ma Xianhong's explanation.
"As you just saw, Liu Dang is just an ordinary person..." Ma Xianhong looked back at a few people, "He is a guy who is obsessed with fighting skills. He is quite famous in their circle. If he is not in boxing, I met that young student in the gym, I’m afraid he is still fighting for the rankings in various fighting competitions.”
"Little student?" Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing asked with some confusion.
"Hehe, that's a strange kid..." At Ma Xianhong's signal, Liu Dang smiled awkwardly and explained to the two of them, "When he first entered the boxing gym, that kid was still a pure layman, but he has made progress. Extremely fast, just one month later, he challenged me..."
At this point, Liu Dang's expression became a little heavy.
"What's the result? Did he defeat you?" Zhuge Qing guessed.
He probably knew what kind of story Liu Dang wanted to tell. It was just that his body, which he had worked hard for several years to train, was no match for a gifted child, so he had doubts about himself, so he came here.
If he guessed correctly... the young student in the story was probably an acquired talent with a talent for Qi training.
And this is indeed the case.
"No, of course I won at that time, but that's not important. The important thing is..." Liu Dang raised his head, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, "Obviously he is just a skinny monkey who has learned fighting skills for a few days. But in actual combat, I felt unprecedented pressure! When I calmed down, I realized... I actually used all my strength to beat a novice who had just started! And it was not easy..."
"Well... what happens next?" Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing looked at each other. The expressions on their faces did not change much. They just continued to ask. The matter itself is not important. What is important is why Liu became an ordinary person. People will know about the aliens and come here.
"Later, I learned from that kid that he actually had a master, so I kept asking questions out of curiosity. At first, the kid was reluctant to tell me, but after all, he was just a kid. I took him out to play and sing for a few days. While drinking, I found a few girls to join in the fun, and he was moved by my sincerity..."
"Uh hehe..." The corners of their mouths twitched. Their god's sincerity was just Chi Guoguo's bribe, wasn't it?
"He took me to see his master, who was an old knifesmith who forged knives by hand..." Liu Dang continued, "But no matter how I asked, the old man was unwilling to tell me what skills he knew. He just said He was teaching that boy how to blacksmith, which of course I didn’t believe, so I stayed there, and I learned whatever the boy was learning.”
"So what did he teach you?"
"Blacksmithing." Liu Dang replied, "The old man didn't lie to me. He was indeed just teaching the boy to blacksmith, and I was also learning. But the special thing was that he asked me to use the breathing method he taught me to complete the forging. Hitting action. He said that only in this way can a good knife be forged. No matter how stupid I am, I should know... This breathing method is probably the real key thing, so I diligently completed the task according to the old man's requirements every day until A month later... the old man said to me... 'Go back, you are not this material. You will not get what you want here.'"
"So you left?"
"Of course, otherwise, what else could we do?" Liu Dang smiled bitterly, "People have already made it so obvious. I am not a fool. I came here just for the sake of these two people's skills. I have been pestering them for a month, but They really haven’t done anything strange except forging swords, and I can’t just stay idle like this, so I have no choice but to leave.”
"But you didn't give up, right..." Wang Ye sighed.
"Yes, after returning to the boxing gym, I trained harder than before... But unlike the joy I felt after realizing the progress before, the stronger I became, the more powerless I felt... because such strength is different from those two people. It was not on the same level at all, and I realized what I was missing...so no amount of wins since then could fill that missing piece.”
Liu Dang's face gradually became painful, as if it was a very uncomfortable memory for him, "So... what have I been missing all this time? I started looking for answers, but no matter how I searched, I could no longer find anything about it. The boy who answered this question has never been to the boxing gym since then, and the old blacksmith has also moved away. Everything seems to have nothing to do with me anymore..."
Actually...this is the best ending, right? Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing looked at each other and remained silent.
For ordinary people, coming into contact with issues about aliens would only be a disaster, and the old blacksmith probably wanted to protect Liu Dang when he took his apprentice away.
But since Liu Dang appeared here, it meant that the matter did not end like this.
"Maybe it's fate? I'm lucky. Just when I wanted to give up drinking in the bar, I met Master Jin Yong from Biyou Village."
Speaking of this, Liu Dang chuckled and scratched his head, "At that time, I drank too much and had something on my mind, and I had a bad temper, so I had a conflict with Master Jin Yong... At that time, I didn't even have the strength to punch him. , hit him directly in the face! Most people would have fainted when faced with such a punch from me, but he was indifferent and even said "I'm sorry" to me. At that time, I knew that this person must be with that kid. The old blacksmith is one kind of person. Fortunately, Master Jin Yong has a lot of people who don’t care about me, and..."
"And brought you here?"
Zhuge Qing covered his face helplessly.
He didn't know whether Jin was a master or not. He only knew that this guy was really brave. If you dare to involve ordinary people in the world of aliens, are you not afraid that people in the company will find out about it and be punished?
"Well, hehe. I was a little skeptical at first, but after I came here, I realized that the world I knew before was really just the tip of the iceberg of the real world." Liu Danghan smiled, "I saw the tricks of the two of you today. After that, I became even more convinced of it.”
"well……"
Wang Ye sighed helplessly, wondering what exactly was going on in Ma Xianhong's mind? Is it possible that he really wants to involve ordinary people in their circle?
"Brother Dang, one of the two people in front of you is Taoist Wang Ye of Wudang, and the other is the legendary Qing of the Zhuge family of Wuhou... Through these two people, you may have personally felt that part of yourself. ?" Ma Xianhong asked indifferently when he saw that several people had finished their exchange.
"Yes, just from the surface, I can't imagine that I will lose to them..." Liu Dang looked at his well-trained muscles and showed unwillingness, "But this is indeed the case, whether it is the two of them or the previous The other people I have met, there is something about you that I cannot understand. Is this the 'qi' you are talking about? Is there really no way I can be like you?"
"There is no way, you have no qualifications..."
Zhuge Qing poured cold water on him mercilessly, "Aptitude is something you are born with. The breathing method that the old blacksmith taught you is probably their own breathing method. It can make people quickly detect the Qi in the body." He probably really wanted to accept you as his disciple, but unfortunately you couldn't feel Qi at all for a month, so he had to give up. I started it when I was 7 years old, and I got Qi within two days, and some people don't need anything. The method is to be born with the ability to feel the existence of Qi... With correct guidance, we consider people who cannot feel Qi within two weeks to be unqualified. However, this is normal. After all, aliens are a minority among the human population. , it takes most people decades to feel it, or they may never feel it in a lifetime...but..."
As he spoke, Zhuge Qing's tone began to become uncertain as he seemed to recall something.
Logically speaking, qualifications are indeed destined, but...he has indeed seen someone transform in a single thought...not just him, but Wang was also present at the time.
The two looked at each other and saw a little bitterness in each other's eyes.
Yes, the person they met was Sun Haoran who experienced the inner scene that night and suddenly had an epiphany.
To this day, they still remember the aura emanating from this guy at that time. It didn't look like a guy who had just gained energy. He was simply a monster.
However, this person's example is too special. After all, even if he does not have Qi Sense, Sun Haoran, who is a mixed race, cannot be considered an ordinary person, although blood and Qi training qualifications have nothing to do with each other...
At least what they can be sure of is that Liu Dang next to him at this moment will never have such an adventure.
Most ordinary people can only be ordinary people if they are extremely poor.
this is the truth.
"But what?" Ma Xianhong caught the bitterness in their eyes and asked with interest, "Have you ever met an exception?"
"Don't ask, the probability of this kind of thing is so low that it's almost impossible." Wang Ye's eyes turned cold, "Why give people unrealistic hopes?"
He really didn't understand why Ma Xianhong would let an ordinary person come here and learn about these things.
"Taoist Master Wang, don't be so absolute in everything. You are a Taoist who knows destiny and gains and losses. You should also know that... things like fate are changeable." Ma Xianhong chuckled, "Just like you were in Luo at that time. The words given to Zhang Chulan on the Tiandajiao - the past cannot be undone, the future..."
"It can be changed..." Wang Ye looked at the guy in front of him speechlessly, "Good guy, have you been paying attention to us since then?"
"Of course, if I don't pay attention to you, how will I know if you can help me?" Ma Xianhong led a few people to a temple.
The plaque on the roof is engraved with the three characters "Xiushentang".
He smiled and pushed open the crimson wooden door, raised his head and looked at the things in the hall, "I want to ask you two to help me, just to-change the future."
"Change...the future?"
Zhuge Qing and Wang also followed his gaze, a little confused.
The object inside is a strange instrument. The device itself is spherical, with various wire tubes and instruments connected around it. There is also a door on it, which seems like people can enter.
"As you know, I am a weapon refiner." Seeing the two people's confusion, Ma Xianhong walked up to the device and explained, "In my opinion, the greatest weapon refiner is 'creation'... Everything in the world is Weapons refined by the creation of heaven and earth, whether humans, birds or animals, are all weapons! Since they are weapons, why can't they be refined?"
"Do you want to..."
When Wang Ye heard this, Tong Kong shrank suddenly, "Seizing the fortune of heaven and earth, using humans as weapons..."
"That's right, heaven and earth can refine people, why can't I?" Seeing that someone could understand, Ma Xianhong seemed very happy, and a smile appeared on his face, "People are also tools and can be refined. This is what I built - the self-cultivation furnace! "
"Refining people...do you want to use it to change people's qualifications?" Zhuge Qing also realized what this meant.
"Yeah, how else can we call it changing the future?" Ma Xianhong smiled and spread his hands.
"Indeed..." Wang Ye frowned slightly.
If something like this is really completed, it will definitely affect the fate of many people.
He's a nice person, and he's friendly to others, but he's just...a willful lunatic.
He immediately labeled the guy in front of him appropriately.
No wonder it felt like something bad was about to happen. It turned out that such a madman had come up with such a dangerous thing. It seemed that Biyou Village was destined to be in trouble.
"Interesting, but... isn't this too ugly?"
Zhuge Qing touched his chin and looked at the objects in front of him with a smile on his face.
"????"
Wang Ye turned to look at Zhuge Qing next to him with a confused look on his face. Hey, hey, are you crazy too? Is this a question of whether it is ugly or not? If the outside world knew how much trouble this thing would cause, you should know it without even counting it!
"Okay, I've finished what I need to say." Ma Xianhong didn't care what the two of them thought, but looked at Liu Dang who was walking at the back, "Liu Dang, I've said everything I need to tell you, no. A hint of concealment... Do you wait, or accept it?"
"I accept." Liu Dang answered without hesitation.
Then, he walked into the so-called 'cultivation furnace' without hesitation under the surprised gazes of Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye.
"Hey, hey, don't you want our help? Then this thing shouldn't be finished yet, right?" Wang Ye reached out his hand hesitantly, as if he wanted to stop it.
Using living people for experiments, is this guy really crazy?
"Who told you it wasn't finished?"
Ma Xianhong smiled confidently, "It's just not perfect yet. Now all it can do is turn some ordinary people into strangers, which is far from meeting my requirements."
"this……"
This is already outrageous! Wang Ye was speechless for a while.
It's not a good place to stay here for a long time, he wants to moisten it now, otherwise there will be no good results if he gets involved in trouble next time.
"Jin Yong, you brought Liu Dang to the village, so you can hold the stove."
Ma Xianhong gestured to the man standing by the self-cultivation furnace.
"Copy that." After receiving the order, Jin Yong jumped into a cabin outside the stove without hesitation.
Card——Card——
With the sound of two metal collisions, the door of the slimming furnace and the door of the operating cabin connected to the outside were closed together.
"drink!"
Jin Yong's loud shouts came from the operation cabin, and then a stream of energy began to flow along the line pipe towards the self-cultivation furnace. The entire device started to operate, and it seemed that some incredible 'chemical reaction' was taking place.
"Ma Xianhong...you..." Wang Ye opened his mouth, not knowing what to do.
Prevent? This is someone else's territory. If he really can't be persuaded, then he can only choose to moisten it quickly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Ma Xianhong thought that Wang was also worried about Liu Dang's safety. "Although the current self-cultivation furnace is not perfect, I can still guarantee the safety."
"First Evolution"
"I'm not concerned about safety issues..."
"What are you focusing on? Results?" Ma Xianhong was a little confused, "That is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory. Although I am a little unwilling, the current self-cultivation furnace cannot achieve the effect I want. All the root tools that enter the furnace now are For the inferior... Their abilities and achievements depend entirely on the person who holds the furnace... So to ensure that the people who go in are qualified enough, the candidates for the person who holds the furnace must be people with excellent qualifications and talents... But don't worry, I I will definitely complete the perfect Slimming Furnace! For this purpose, I need enough and rich types of examples to analyze the shortcomings of the past... You two..."
As he said that, Ma Xianhong stretched out his hand towards the two of them, "Help me? There is no warlock around me yet... Become a furnace holder and help me complete the cultivation furnace! All furnace holders are also high-grade root weapons! I wish You guarantee that when the perfect self-cultivation furnace is completed, as long as you are willing... you can use it to elevate yourself to unimaginable realms!"
Faced with such solicitation, Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing looked at each other in silence, without immediately giving an answer.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened.
Liu Dang also came out of the self-cultivation furnace. As Ma Xianhong said, there is no danger, and there are no side effects seen from him for the time being. The only regret is that even though the current Liu Dang has indeed completed his transformation and become a real Stranger, but because of the limitations of the self-cultivation furnace itself, the upper limit is destined not to be too high.
In the evening, Ma Xianhong hosted a banquet for the two of them to celebrate.
"How's it going? You two. You have also seen that the Slimming Furnace and the flowers around you... are all my creations." Ma Xianhong pointed to the 'Ruhuas' who were busy serving tea and water, raised their glasses and smiled. He said, "This is the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. As discussed before, if you are willing to stay and help me, when the perfect self-cultivation furnace is completed, you will not only have the power to use it, but I will also make the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements I leave it to you too. Having seen its wonders, you should also be interested in it, right?"
"Are you not interested? This is one of the eight magical skills..." Zhuge Qing laughed and teased without hesitation, "But then again, you are so generous, leader..."
