Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 372: Womei Mountain, Yaksha Country

Seeing that tiny child could make a grown man stagger backwards involuntarily, and dared to face these strangers, showing extraordinary courage, Ma Ji couldn't help but become interested and looked the child up and down carefully.

With his current cultivation and vision, he was able to see through the child with just a few glances, and therefore he exclaimed with some praise: "You are a boy with a well-trained body. If you can get guidance from a wise master to practice martial arts, you will soar to the sky in no time."

Hearing Ma Ji speaking in fluent Chinese, the man showed surprise and excitement on his face, and hurriedly called out, "Sir, are you from the Middle-earth? My name is Xu Qing, also from the Middle-earth. I went out to sea for trade several years ago, but was caught in a storm and drifted here."

Ma Ji smiled and said, "It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign land. My name is Ma Ji, and my courtesy name is Long Mei. May I ask where this place is, Brother Xu?"

"This island is named after the mountain, called 'Womei Mountain'." Xu Qing first answered Ma Ji's question, and then asked tentatively, "Several years ago when I was still in the Central Plains, I heard that there was a young man named Ma Ji who was excellent in poetry and calligraphy, and was known as 'the first talent in Jiangnan'..."

When Ma Ji heard the location of "Womei Mountain", he had a rough idea of ​​it.

He did not tell the other party that what he knew was old news and how great he was now. He just smiled and bowed, saying, "I am ashamed. It is just me."

Xu Qing was somewhat confused and doubtful.

When he went to sea, Ma Ji was famous in the south of the Yangtze River and was about to go to Beijing to take the exam.

In his opinion, Ma Ji should have passed the imperial examination and became a successful official, so it was impossible for him to appear in Womei Mountain, tens of thousands of miles away from the Middle-earth, on a strange pleasure boat.

Although Ma Ji saw that he was full of doubts, he did not intend to explain. He just looked behind him and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, is the person over there looking for you?"

Xu Qing's face suddenly changed, and he turned around hastily, just in time to see a tall figure flying through the forest and across the stream, and it was approaching him in an instant.

Lin Jin and the other four girls were also a little curious. When they looked carefully, they saw that there were two people, one big and two small.

The big one was a woman who was about ten feet tall. She was wearing a short animal skin skirt, barefoot, with a loose shawl. She had a green face, fangs, and eyes like golden lamps. She was full of anger and looked even more ferocious.

The woman was holding two children, a boy and a girl, under her arms.

The boy looked exactly like the children around Xu Qing, both had chubby heads, thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was obvious at first glance that they were brothers.

Although the girl's clothes were slightly dark, she had delicate features and looked like a little beauty.

The woman came in front of Xu Qing, ignoring Ma Ji and others beside her, she put the two children on the ground, put one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Xu Qing, roaring and shouting, but she only mumbled something inaudible.

Xu Qing was first terrified, his face turned pale and his body felt like a sieve.

Later, the woman's anger turned into sadness and she spoke with tears in her eyes. The two children also rushed over, one on each side hugged her thighs with tears in her eyes.

Xu Qing's expression changed from fear to shame. He looked down at the two children, tears streaming down his eyes.

After watching this drama which obviously had extremely heavy ethical aspects, Ma Ji's family didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

After a long while, Xu Qing seemed to have finally made a decision. After a long sigh, he said a few words to the woman who seemed to be tired of scolding and stopped talking, but his words were still incomprehensible.

The woman's face showed an ecstatic expression. She took a step forward, stretched out her big hands to pull the two children apart, then grabbed Xu Qing and held him in her arms.

Because of the height difference between them, although Xu Qing's feet were off the ground, his head only reached the woman's chest, and his entire face was buried between two extremely majestic peaks.

Ma Ji and others were just watching with laughter when the boy who came earlier came up to them with the two children who came later. His little face was full of gratitude and he said, "Thank you. If...if you hadn't delayed...delayed for a while, Dad would have abandoned Mom and my brother and sister and taken me away on a boat." He must have learned Chinese from Xu Qing, but he didn't speak much and was a little awkward at first, but he became much more fluent later on.

Ma Ji waved his hand and smiled, "Your parents' fate has not yet ended. Even if I hadn't come, they would have been separated for a few years at most. There will be a day when they will be reunited."

These words were a bit strange. Not only were the three children confused, but Lin Jin and the other four girls were also confused.

At this moment, the strange couple over there finally calmed down their excitement, and came to Ma Ji hand in hand. Xu Qing spoke and invited Ma Ji and his family to his home as guests.

The so-called "home" is actually just a huge cave on a steep cliff in Womei Mountain.

There were many caves on the cliff, densely packed like a beehive. When the group arrived, people came out of many caves to look around, including men, women, young and old, and their appearances were as ferocious as Xu Qing's wife.

When they arrived at Xu Qing's home, his wife took out some smoked meat to entertain the guests, and Xu Qing also took the initiative to tell them about his own story.

It turns out that there is a tribe called "Yaksha" living in Womei Mountain. Although they have their own language and customs, they are accustomed to eating raw meat and drinking blood, just like savages.

After Xu Qing drifted here, he was taken in by a Yaksha family because of his barbecue and cooking skills, and then he married and had children and became a member of this family. Later, he was appreciated by the Yaksha King, the ruler of the "Yaksha Kingdom", and was rewarded with many precious treasures.

But he was always thinking about his homeland. Although he was not completely without feelings for his wife, he was always afraid of losing her love. That's why he abandoned his wife and children and tried to go home by sea.

At this point, Xu Qing turned around and looked at his Yaksha wife who was standing by his side, and sighed, "I was indeed wrong this time. I have just apologized to my wife and promised that even if I return home, I will definitely bring her and the children back with me."

Ma Ji clapped his hands and laughed, "As the saying goes, 'One night of marriage brings a hundred nights of love'. Mr. Xu should have chosen this."

As everyone was talking, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and Xu Qing and his wife both showed surprised expressions on their faces.

After a while, the strong wind stopped, but two Yakshas staggered in and said something to Xu Qing in a mumbled voice.

Xu Qing's expression of surprise became even more serious. He turned to Ma Ji and said, "Master Ma, the gust of wind just now was the arrival of the Yaksha Heavenly King. He sent someone to tell him to invite you to come and meet him."

Ma Ji was slightly startled, then nodded calmly and said, "Since the owner of this place has summoned me, I will go there."

After saying this, he asked Lin Jin and the other three girls to wait here, and he followed the two Yakshas out.

The four girls knew his strength and abilities, so they were not too worried.

When they got outside the cave, the two Yakshas leading the way ran as fast as they could, crossing mountains and hills as if they were walking on flat ground.

Ma Ji followed behind slowly, not lagging behind at all.

Soon they arrived at a forest, where a majestic figure, twice as tall and big as an ordinary adult Yaksha, stood with his hands behind his back, as towering as a mountain.

The two Yakshas crossed their arms in front of their chests, bowed respectfully and said a few words.

The big yaksha answered a few words and waved his hand, and the two yakshas turned and left.

When they were alone, the big Yaksha slowly spoke in Chinese with a Qin accent: "I am here to welcome you, my Lord!"
