Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 380: Returning to Lanruo, Hard to Find Beauty

Lanruo Temple.

Although the tree demon that used to haunt this place no longer exists, the people of Jinhua County still regard this Zen temple as a forbidden place and allow it to continue to be abandoned and dilapidated.

Recently, some people saw flickering ghost lights and heard ghost noises in the temple from a distance. Subsequently, many new versions of absurd and terrifying legends spread, and fewer and fewer people approached them.

In the dim night, Ma Ji returned to Lanruo Temple alone. He walked through the completely collapsed temple gate and came to the temple with overgrown weeds and dilapidated halls. He couldn't help but think of what he had experienced here in the past, as well as the graceful figure who had disappeared and no one knew where she had been reincarnated. He couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Suddenly, two white figures shot out from the ruins on both sides without touching the ground, and two three-foot green swords pierced his body crosswise.

Although Ma Ji was a little distracted, he was not at all panicked by the sudden attack. He just raised his right arm and flicked his sleeve lightly, and the two figures went back to where they came from, and fell back into the ruins on both sides involuntarily.

Just as they dealt with the attacks from both sides, a strong wind suddenly blew in their faces from the front, and a huge black iron hammer came flying towards them like a meteor across the sky, carrying a terrifying force that could destroy mountains and split peaks.

Ma Ji remained calm. He just raised his right wrist, turned it, and then clasped his right thumb and middle finger together and flicked them lightly. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was trying to flick off a drop of dew on the petals.

The fingertips touched the hammer lightly, and the hammer was shaken back.

Ma Ji smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Brother Shi Xiu's 'Great Diamond Power' has become even stronger and more powerful. If you don't have the third-grade thunder tribulation cultivation, you would never dare to challenge his attack!"

"Dragon Media? You're back from overseas!"

A man walked out from the abandoned palace in front, his face full of surprise. It was Wang Shixiu, who had become close friends with Ma Ji, Li Hang and Ning Caichen in the capital in the past.

Previously, Ma Ji had intentionally used some tricks to make his figure blurry and difficult to distinguish. Wang Shixiu and his party were hiding in Lanruo Temple by pretending to be ghosts. Just now, they saw a black shadow with an indistinguishable appearance coming in, but they thought they had encountered a real ghost and acted rashly.

At this time, many figures walked out of the ruins on both sides, among them were the two people who had taken action before, they were Wang Shixiu's wife Fu Qingfeng and his sister-in-law Fu Yuechi, who were also the two daughters of the former Minister of War Fu Tianchou.

Seeing that everyone was armed, Ma Ji asked with a smile, "Brother Shi Xiu, with your current strength, it seems that you don't need to go to such great lengths to abduct Ling Yue, right?"

Wang Shixiu shook his head and sighed, "Long Mei doesn't know that the person sent by the court to capture my father-in-law this time is Zuo Yi, who has recently joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard and was appointed as a thousand households. This person's martial arts skills are not inferior to mine, and he has a large number of Embroidered Uniform Guard masters as his wings, so I have to be cautious."

Fu Qingfeng walked up to Ma Ji and bowed to him.

Ma Ji waved his hand to stop them and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, why are you like this?"

Fu Qingfeng's handsome face was filled with grief and indignation. "The emperor is now unjust, seeking immortality, close to evil monks, valuing treacherous people and keeping away from loyal people. Since the Grand Tutor is the backbone of Dayu, he should take action to restore order and bring peace to Dayu!"

Although this girl had a pretty face exactly like Nie Xiaoqian, their personalities were very different. With Ma Ji's current level of cultivation and concentration, he would naturally not be bothered by the appearance, so he would not feel anything strange.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Since I have come to find you, I will not stand idly by. Let's solve your father's problem first and then talk about other things."

After saying that, a beam of white light flew out from above his head, carrying the "Yujing Tower" with it as it flew through the air.

As everyone was stunned, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

One of them said in panic, "Captain Zuo, didn't we stay at the post station before? How come we are here in the blink of an eye?"

Another deep and rich voice said, "If you are not surprised by the strange, the strange will disappear on its own. Everyone just guard the good prisoner, and wait for me to find out who is causing trouble!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ji inside raised his hand to catch the "Yujing Chonglou" falling from the sky and said loudly: "Captain Zuo, please take Master Fu to the temple for a chat!"

There was silence outside for a moment, and then the sound of footsteps and metal collision came closer and closer.

A man with four straight-bladed long swords on his back, two swords on his waist, a long whip, and a long-handled saber in his right hand walked in slowly. He should be Zuo Yi, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard who made Wang Shixiu very afraid. In his left hand was a chain, and at the other end of the chain was an old man in shackles and chains, who was Fu Tianchou.

"father!"

Sisters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi called out and walked forward.

"Stop!"

Zuo Yi shouted harshly, and with a swipe of his saber, he placed it across Fu Tianchou's neck.

Ma Ji sighed, "Why do you have to do this?"

The "Yujing Chonglou" in his hand flashed white light, and Fu Tianchou immediately disappeared out of thin air. At the same time, he appeared next to the Fu sisters out of thin air, leaving only a pile of shackles in their place.

"Be bold!"

Zuo Yi was furious and pointed his saber at his horse from a distance, ready to strike.

Ma Ji waved his hand and said, "Captain Zuo, please be patient and take a look at this thing before deciding whether to take action."

After saying this, the "Yujing Chonglou" in his hand turned into the "Five-Dragon Jade Talisman" representing Li Geng, the first emperor of Dayu.

Zuo Yi saw the pattern of the jade talisman and the four characters "As if I were here in person" engraved on it, and then carefully identified Ma Ji's appearance, and asked in astonishment: "Are you... are you Grand Tutor Ma?"

Ma Ji smiled and nodded.

Zuo Yi's expression changed several times, and then he bowed down to the jade talisman, saying: "Zuo Yi, a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, pays homage to the Saint Taizu!"

Ma Ji said calmly: "No need to be polite!"

Zuo Yi bowed again and said "Thank you, Saint!" before standing up.

Ma Ji said, "I know you are escorting Master Fu to the capital by imperial order, and I don't want to embarrass you. Now that you have the Five Dragon Jade Talisman given by Taizu, you should be able to explain to the court. I will go to the capital in person to explain the matter to His Majesty later, so you should report it first when you return to the capital."

Although Zuo Yi is a strong-willed and upright person, he is not completely inflexible.

Since his own strength was far inferior to that of the other party, and the other party had offered him a chance, he also stepped down and immediately bowed to Ma Ji and said, "I will follow the orders of the Grand Master."

He did not stay here at the moment, but went out with his men and rode back to the capital on horseback.

At this moment, Fu Tianchou also came to meet Ma Ji, and he couldn't help but talk about the changes in Emperor Zhiping Li Hang, his expression and tone were full of resentment.

Ma Ji comforted him, "Your Majesty's temperament has changed drastically, and there may be something strange about it. When I return to the capital to meet him, everything will be clear."

Fu Tianchou was overjoyed and bowed solemnly, saying, "The whole country of Dayu and the people all rely on the Grand Master!"

Afterwards, Wang Shixiu, Fu Qingfeng, Fu Yuechi and his party escorted Fu Tianchou back to Jinhua County.

Ma Ji found a barely habitable room in Lanruo Temple and stayed there.

As the night deepened, he was sitting quietly in the room to cultivate his spirit, when he suddenly heard a clear and pleasant laughter.
