Chapter 370: Exploring the Bamboo House at Night, Ma Xianhong Discusses Taoism in the Secret Room
Ma Xianhong put down the teacup, looked at Su Chen and others, and asked.
"us……"
Zhang Chulan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Su Chen.
"We're here to find someone."
Su Chen looked at Ma Xianhong and said slowly.
"Looking for someone?" Ma Xianhong's eyes flickered slightly.
"Who are you looking for?"
"A girl named Chen Duo." Su Chen said.
"Chen Duo..."
Ma Xianhong showed a meaningful smile on his face.
"Are you here for her?"
"That's right." Su Chen nodded.
"We are her friends. We heard that she came to Biyou Village, so we came to see her."
"I see." Ma Xianhong said,
"Chen Duo did come to Biyou Village, but she has already left."
"Left?" Zhang Chulan and others were shocked when they heard this.
"Where did she go?" Zhang Chulan asked hurriedly.
"I don't know about this." Ma Xianhong shook his head.
"She didn't tell me when she left."
"Village Chief Ma, please stop playing tricks on us," Hei Guaner said.
"This is your territory. How could you not know where Chen Duo is?"
"My friend, what you said is wrong." Ma Xianhong's face darkened slightly.
"Although I am the village chief of Biyou Village, I don't know everything."
"Chen Duo is an independent individual. She has her own freedom. I have no right to interfere with her whereabouts."
"But……"
Zhang Chulan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Chen again.
"Village Chief Ma, we don't have any other intentions." Su Chen said,
"We are just worried about Chen Duo's safety, so we came to find her."
"Since she has left Biyou Village, we will take our leave now."
"Everyone, take care." Ma Xianhong said,
"I won't give it away."
Su Chen and others left the bamboo house and returned to the inn.
"This Ma Xianhong is indeed not a simple person." Hei Guaner said.
"He must know where Chen Duo is, but he just won't tell us."
"What should we do now?" asked Lao Meng.
"We can't just go back like this, can we?"
"Of course not." Su Chen said.
"We must find Chen Duo."
"But we don't even know where Chen Duo is, how can we find her?" Wang Zhenqiu said.
"We can think of another way." Su Chen said.
"If it doesn't work, we can only use extraordinary measures."
"Extraordinary measures?" Xiao Zizai's eyes flashed with excitement.
"how do you want to do it?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Su Chen said.
"Now, everyone, take a break and recharge your batteries."
Night fell again, and Biyou Village fell into silence again.
Su Chen sat alone in the room with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He stood up, opened the window, jumped out, and disappeared into the night.
His figure, like a ghost, moved around the village without making any sound.
He came to Ma Xianhong's bamboo house and stopped.
Su Chen flashed and sneaked into the bamboo building silently.
It was pitch black inside the bamboo building, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Relying on his extraordinary perception ability, Su Chen groped around in the bamboo building.
Suddenly, he stopped and he felt a faint breath.
He followed the scent and came to the basement of the bamboo building.
The door to the basement was tightly closed with a lock on it.
Su Chen sneered, reached out and pushed lightly, and the lock broke.
He opened the door and walked in.
It was dark in the basement, with only an oil lamp emitting a faint light.
Su Chen saw that in the center of the basement, there was a giant workbench, on which were scattered various parts for refining equipment.
Next to the workbench stood a man, it was Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong had his back to Su Chen, seemingly concentrating on refining something.
Su Chen looked at Ma Xianhong's back without saying anything to disturb him.
There was a faint metallic smell in the basement.
It is mixed with the smell of some herbs, but it is not pungent, but has a strange calming effect.
The light of the oil lamp flickered, stretching Ma Xianhong's figure very long and projecting it onto the wall, like a silent giant.
Ma Xianhong seemed completely immersed in his own world and was unaware of Su Chen's arrival.
The tools in his hands flew up and down, his movements were skillful and precise.
Like an experienced craftsman carving a fine work of art.
Su Chen's eyes swept over the parts on the workbench. The parts were of different shapes and materials.
Some sparkle with metallic luster, while others are as warm as jade.
He vaguely felt that these parts seemed to contain some special energy.
Time passed by minute by minute,
Ma Xianhong finally stopped what he was doing.
He let out a long sigh and turned around.
When he saw Su Chen, there was no surprise on his face.
Instead, he showed a faint smile.
"You came."
Ma Xianhong's voice was very calm, as if he had already anticipated Su Chen's arrival.
Su Chen looked at Ma Xianhong with a hint of inquiry in his eyes:
"You knew I would come?"
"of course."
Ma Xianhong nodded, with a hint of confidence in his tone.
"Although Biyou Village is not big, any disturbance will not escape my eyes."
"It seems that my evaluation of you is still too low." Su Chen said slowly.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ma Xianhong smiled.
"I'm just an ordinary weapon refiner."
"An ordinary equipment refiner would not let 'Nadutong' mobilize such a large force." Su Chen said.
"That's because they don't understand me." Ma Xianhong's eyes flashed with disdain.
"They only saw my divine power, but not my ideals."
"What's your ideal?" Su Chen asked.
"What is your ideal?"
"My ideal is to create a world without disputes, oppression and equality for all," said Ma Xianhong.
"A true 'New Jiejiao'."
Su Chen was silent for a moment and said:
"Your ideals are great, but they are difficult to achieve."
"I know." Ma Xianhong nodded.
"But as long as there is hope, I won't give up."
Under the dim light, the shadows of the two people were stretched out and intertwined.
It seems to symbolize the collision of two completely different concepts at this moment.
"I'm curious," Ma Xianhong suddenly changed the subject and looked at Su Chen with burning eyes.
"You came to me because of Chen Duo's matter?"
Su Chen did not deny: "That's right."
"What is your relationship with Chen Duo?" Ma Xianhong asked.
"Friend." Su Chen replied simply.
"Just friends?" Ma Xianhong seemed a little unconvinced.
"As far as I know, Chen Duo is very important to Nadutong."
"She is also very important to us." Su Chen said,
"We don't want her to come to any harm."
"Don't worry," Ma Xianhong said.
"Chen Duo is in Biyou Village, she is safe."
"She has left." Su Chen said.
"That's right." Ma Xianhong nodded.
"She wants to find her past, and I respect her choice."
"You really don't know where she went?" Su Chen asked.
"I don't know." Ma Xianhong shook his head.
"But my intuition tells me that she might come back and choose to stay in Biyou Village."
