Chapter 2 Half a Jade Tiger

The west of Lin Yuan City is close to the countryside, and the streets here are a little lively when the crops are in the market, and the Majia Iron Shop is located here.

Farmers who rush to the market have generally heard of this iron shop, which sells agricultural tools that are not only beautiful and durable, but also very reasonable.

The Majia Iron Shop has two large rooms, a forging room and a sales room. In the spacious sales room, there are five or six rows of wooden shelves, on which are neatly arranged exquisite farm tools.

There was a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old woman sitting in front of the counter by the door, her clothes and scholarly temperament complemented each other, and she was fiddling with her abacus at this time, it was Ma Chuan's mother, Wen Xinyu.

There is a hidden back door in the sales room, and when you walk into this door, there is a unique yard, the main house, the inverted seat room, the east and west wings, all available. The yard is planted with flowers and trees, a piece of verdant and gorgeous, and there is a large tree outside the east courtyard wall with white and red apricot blossoms, so that the whole yard is full of birds and flowers.

Suddenly, the white and red apricot blossom tree trembled, and a teenager slowly climbed up the big apricot tree, stepped on a branch and climbed the wall a little high, it was Ma Chuan, who was panting.

There was a bamboo ladder next to the wall of the courtyard, and Ma Chuan was about to follow the bamboo ladder back to the courtyard.

A young "woman" who was beautiful and wise walked into the courtyard, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Ma Chuan standing at the head of the wall: "Xiaochuan, you really ran out." Be careful, don't touch those things, they don't know yet. ”

"Sister-in-law!" Ma Chuan fell down the bamboo ladder into the courtyard, and exclaimed with some weakness in his heart.

"I'll have dinner in a moment, and I'll go back to my room first. The woman who looks like a "young woman" is Ma Chuan's sister-in-law Yu Ling, who has just passed the door.

Ma Chuan saw Yu Ling turn around and enter the house, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and walked quickly towards his room.

Smoothly returned to the house, Ma Chuan's nervous mood weakened a lot, his body relaxed, a wave of tiredness hit his heart, and he fell asleep on the bed.

I don't know how long it took, the afterglow outside the window gradually faded, and Ma Chuan took a rest, and the tension and fatigue during the day were relieved.

"Chuan'er, come out to eat. Wen Xinyu shouted outside the door.

"It's coming. Ma Chuan hurriedly got up, walked out of the house, and followed his mother to the dining room.

"Chuan'er, you haven't been out much lately, do you know?" Wen Xinyu said with a worried face.

"Mother, those people are coming to the door again?" Ma Chuan was both resentful and afraid.

"One or two people were just wandering around outside, and they went to eat first. Wen Xinyu stopped and touched Ma Chuan's head.

"How are you reading?" In the midst of the inquiries of the eldest brother and his father, Ma Chuan absentmindedly finished dinner.

After dinner, Ma Chuan plucked up his courage and said in front of the whole family: "Dad, I want to ...... Want to go to Longquan Villa...... Bow...... Division!"

"Say it again!" The middle-aged man was dressed in plain civilian clothes, and he couldn't hide his bronzed skin and strong muscles, which was Ma Chuan's father, Ma Ingenuity.

"Dad, I ....... Ma Chuan's voice was almost inaudible, but the whole family looked at him.

"Rebel, have you forgotten the house rules!" Ma Jingxin pinched the arm of the chair with his palm, and the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged and made a gurgling sound.

"I ...... I haven't forgotten. Ma Chuan lowered his head, his hands and feet trembling a little.

"The descendants of Tianqiaomen have studied the ancestral arts, and can they remember if they don't learn the side door. Ma Qiaoxin's voice seemed to calm down a bit.

"Yes. Ma Chuan's palms were sweaty, and he was careful to even gasp.

"Go back and reflect!" Ma got up and walked out of the dining room.

Ma Chuan felt uncomfortable, held his breath in his chest, and slowly walked into the hazy courtyard at night, where a teenage girl blocked his way.

"Xiaoqi, while playing. Ma Chuan felt a headache when he saw the little girl pursing her lips and two small dimples on her pink face.

"Second brother, I saw you running out over the wall. The little girl shook her little white hands.

"I'll buy you a string of rock sugar gourds tomorrow. Ma Chuan bypassed the little girl and walked towards the room.

"Second brother, don't you know how to count, don't give five strings, hum. The little girl Joan wrinkled her nose and snorted.

"Here you in a few days. Ma Chuan was full of grievances, his chest became more and more panicked, and he felt that his little sister was incomparable with the girl he met today.

Ma Chuan returned to the room, sat quietly at the desk at the window, lit the oil lamp, and thought about the girl he met during the day.

Ma Chuan naturally didn't forget the gift given by the girl, but he didn't know that it was given to him by the girl, he was stunned by the amazing scene at that time, and he didn't have much impression of what happened in the outside world at all, but it didn't affect his mood full of anticipation at this time.

Ma Chuan gently placed the stone-like object on the desk, and then slowly unwrapped the cloth outside.

"Doll!" Ma Chuan said to himself disappointedly, this is a tiger doll, but the weight is very heavy, about three inches long, about an inch high, in a standing shape, flat head, and cocked tail. Under the light of the candlelight, the whole body is covered with jade, which seems to be carved from beautiful jade, but when you look closely, you find that only the right half of the body is there.

Thinking that the two met in Pingshui, and they were both fun-loving ages, it was reasonable to give him a doll.

"No, I've seen a lot of dolls, but none of them are jade. Ma Chuan picked up half of the jade tiger and looked at it carefully, in his young thoughts, the girl must not have given him a simple doll, because in the martial arts stories told by the storyteller, the dolls generally hide very powerful martial arts secrets.

Ma Chuan took the half of the jade tiger and looked over and over again, the half of the tiger's body was very smooth, without any symbols or pictures. Except for the discovery that this half of the tiger body has a female mouth, which can be combined with the mouth of the other half of the tiger's body, there are no other finds.

Ma Chuan was very disappointed that he didn't find the imaginary martial arts secrets, and today he heard his mother's words again, and his father's stern veto just now, he desperately wanted to practice powerful martial arts from other ways.

The qi in Ma Chuan's chest did not dissipate because he got the doll, but gathered more and more, he held half of the jade tiger in his hand like this, and involuntarily began to fantasize, thinking that the girl's elders would take him as an apprentice and call him the girl's senior sister.

I don't know how long it took, the girl's voice and smile became clearer and clearer in his mind, before this he couldn't form a clear picture in his mind at all, just when his mind was stirring, his consciousness gradually blurred, and a burst of sleepiness hit his heart. It is a vague space, surrounded by a curtain of light in the surrounding sky, with a mountain peak standing in the center. In addition to a pure and transparent palace on the summit, there is also a high platform that seems to be small and not small, full of aura.

Ma Chuan opened his eyes and found himself in a transparent palace, and when he was thinking about what kind of place this was, three people walked in: "Da Sima, there is a strange treasure born outside!"

"Who are you?" Ma Chuan wondered when he saw that the three people who walked in were exactly like himself.

"We are you too. The three of them said in unison.

"Go out and have a look. Although Ma Chuan was full of doubts, he was calm.

Ma Chuan followed the three of them to climb up to a high platform, and as far as the eye could see, he couldn't see the end of the sky at all.

It seems to be a mysterious space, with a vast land, divided into seven areas of different sizes: red, green, white, black, orange, yellow, and purple.

"Where's the treasure?" asked Ma Chuan casually.

"The treasure is there. One person pointed to the sky and said.

"Doll!" Ma Chuan looked up at the sky, dark clouds were thick, but above his head, there was a seven-colored cloud, which was half of the jade tiger that had turned into hundreds of zhang in size, and it was glowing with strange light.

Just when Ma Chuan was confused, half of the jade tiger was full of colorful mangs, bathing the entire mysterious space.

A quarter of an hour later, Ma Chuan's body became transparent, and he knew many things inexplicably. Red, green, white, black, orange, yellow, and purple, the seven regions correspond to the seven vassal states of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire. The four kingdoms of joy, anger, sorrow, and fear are small countries, each with an army.

Love and Hand are sub-kingdoms, each with two armies.

If you want the country to be a great power, not only do you have three armies of your own, but you also have to add the six armies of the kingdom, a full nine armies, which are above all the nations.

Among them, joy and anger are the main thoughts and wisdom, sorrow, fear, and love are the main actions, and evil and desire are the main bodies and strong of the two countries.

Five people are in the team, and there is a captain. Twenty-five people were two, and there were two horses. Hundreds of people are pawns, and there are pawn chiefs. Five hundred people are brigades, and there are brigade commanders. Two thousand five hundred people are teachers, and there are divisions. Ten thousand people are an army, and the army is a general. He himself is the Great Sima and is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. That is to say, ordinary people have 17 armies in their hearts, a full 170,000 troops, but generally they can only mobilize one army to one or two, so everyone knows that people's potential is unlimited, and they occasionally explode, but they don't know how to use it.

Ma Chuan was ecstatic, he had 170,000 horses for no reason, and Puqingmen, the largest force in Caixia Island, was only 50,000 disciples.

The colorful clouds changed for a while, and the images of parents, sisters-in-law, little sisters and other relatives appeared successively, and then the light gradually dimmed......

The next day, the morning light shone into the room through the window, and Ma Chuan felt dazzling and woke up. Thinking about it last night, he actually fell asleep on the desk, still holding half of the jade tiger in his hand.

Ma Chuan sat up straight, vaguely remembering that he had a dream last night, but it was not that he had practiced peerless martial arts in fantasy, but that he vaguely had many subordinates, too many to count.

"Chuan'er, get up. Wen Xinyu's voice came from outside the door.

"Oh. Ma Chuan stood up suddenly, rewrapped half of the jade tiger, and walked to the side of the bed and put it under the pillow.

Ma Chuan rubbed his face with his hands, and then opened the door.

"Good looks, it looks like I didn't kick the quilt last night. Wen Xinyu looked at Ma Chuan with concern.

"Mother, I ....... Ma Chuan was puzzled, he slept on the desk last night, but his mother said that he looked good.

"Let's go eat first. Wen Xinyu's face was slightly haggard, obviously not sleeping well.
