In February of the first year of Jianning, in a courtyard in Maoling, Fufeng, a young man frowned and wandered anxiously in the courtyard. While walking, he muttered, "Have you not born yet? Why are you so slow?"

The Han Dynasty was about twenty years old, over eight feet tall, with wide arms and round waists and a strange face and nose. It looked a bit like the Qiang people among the foreign races.

This person's name is Ma Teng, whose courtesy name is Shoucheng, and he is from Maoling, Fufeng. He is a descendant of Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, except for their ancestor, the Ma family has become worse than the next generation.

When Ma Teng's father's generation, although he was the county magistrate of Tianshui Langan for several days, he was finally dismissed from office. After his father lost his post, he stayed in Longxi and lived with the local Qiang people.

He was so poor that he had no money to marry a wife, so he had to marry a local Qiang woman as his wife. This is why Ma Teng looked like a Qiang man, because his mother was originally a Qiang man, and he had half of the Qiang man's blood.

Later, Ma Teng's mother died of illness when he was a teenager, and his father also left the world shortly after his mother passed away.

Before his death, his father called Ma Teng to the edge of the bed and said to him in a faint voice: "Teng'er, it's not enough to be a father. I think of what a hero my ancestor of the Ma family is. 'A man should die in the border and return to his body with horses'. What a heroic word this is! Unfortunately, my descendants of the Ma family are so desolate, so what are my faces to meet my ancestors!" As he said that, Ma's father couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Father, you can't blame you completely!"

"No, Teng'er, I am the sinner of the Ma family. Wuyan went to see my ancestors and felt ashamed of my Ma family's ancestors! But I never had the chance to do anything again, I can only give it to you. If you promise to be a father, you must recreate the former glory of my Ma family!"

"Father, I promise. I will do my best!"

"Okay, I believe you will succeed for my father. There is a box over there, which contains the things left by the ancestors. Now it is passed on to you. Teng'er, you must be self-righteous..." Before the last word was finished, Ma's father died.

"Father, father, father!" Although he was prepared, Ma Teng was still extremely sad when his father left. After kowtowed to his father three times, he stood up and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to his father as if he was: "I will definitely recreate the former glory of my Ma family!"

Later, Ma Teng prepared his father's funeral. Although Ma's father thought he had no face to meet his ancestors, as a son, he still had to bury his father in his hometown. As the saying goes, "A tree is a thousand feet tall, and leaves fall back to its roots." This is the reason.

Ma Teng sold all the things that could be sold at home, bought a coffin containing his father's body and took it back to his hometown in Maoling, Fufeng.

After burying his father, Ma Teng bought a house with the only money he had. Although the house was not big, there was finally a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which was already very good for a bachelor like Ma Teng.

Nothing was brought from Longxi, but there was still something, it was the box left by the ancestor Ma Yuan. Even if this thing was to beg for food in the street in the future, Ma Teng would not dare to sell it.

When he was moving the box back to his hometown, Ma Teng didn't think what the box was like. When he moved it, he realized that he was a big mistake.

The box looked inconspicuous and shabby, but Ma Teng moved the box to the car with great effort. He estimated that the box plus the things inside would have to be at least 400 kilograms.

Indeed, the box weighs about 470 kilograms, which is Ma Teng, and it is impossible for an ordinary person to move it. It is hard for ordinary people to carry more than 100 kilograms, let alone nearly 500 kilograms.

Ma Teng lived in Longxi since he was a child, where Han and Qiang lived in mixed places, and was next to the territory of the Qiang people, so the people were brave.

The Qiang people are also martial. It can be said that almost every family in the local area has weapons, so there is no need to mention the Qiang people, and the Han people must have them. After all, the place is not peaceful. If you want to live a good life and don’t know how to fight martial arts, you can only be killed by someone else.

Ma Teng grew up learning martial arts from the Qiang people. His mother is a Qiang people and he has half of the Qiang people's blood, so there is nothing to learn martial arts.

He has had a strong interest in martial arts since he was a child, and he studied and practiced hard every day.

Although his talent is limited, fortunately, he can make up for his shortcomings. Ma Teng's martial arts are much better than ordinary three-legged cat kung fu, whether it is right or wrong. By today's standards, he can still have the level of a second-rate general.

It is already very strong to have five hundred pounds on both arms. After all, there are only a few people born with divine power, and perverts like the overlord Xiang Yu only exist in legends.

Ma Teng moved the box back into the house and wanted to open it to see what was inside. But after a closer look, it was locked.

He thought: My father didn't give me the key to unlock the lock. It seems that it was probably lost by a certain generation of ancestors, and the successors never opened it again, so that the locks were so rusted. If you want to unlock the lock, you can only destroy it.

After thinking about it, he used his hand to break the lock. With a click, the lock broke and Ma Teng hurriedly looked into the box.

What caught my eye was a box of things, and there was a pile of bamboo slips on the left. I looked at it and found that there were a total of six volumes.

There is something wrapped in red cloth in the middle, there is something wrapped in cloth on the right, and there is something black like a stone.

There was a letter on the red cloth in the middle, but it was not a paper letter, but a silk book. Ma Teng picked up the silk book and opened it, and saw that it said:

I love two things I love most in my life. One is a golden hammer with drum beaters in my hand, weighing 320 kilograms. I hold this hammer and I will meet all the heroes in the world, but I have few rivals.

Second, I was wearing a thin purple gold armor with a fish scale that weighed about 30 kilograms. On the battlefield, I had resisted countless blades for me.

Now I will pass on these two things to my descendants. Those who are born with divine power and love hammers cannot use it. If no one of my descendants can use this hammer, I hope that they can pass it on to those who are destined to find someone who is good-natured and patriotism and the people.

At that time, I can give you a volume of hammer method that I made to learn. There is a volume of hammer method and five volumes of military books in the box. The hammer method was created by me for one hundred single eight-way drum and hammer beating techniques. This hammer method is a common hammer in the world, not just a drum hammer.

Military Books are my experience of using military forces through more than 300 battles in my life. I hope that later generations will understand it after learning it and expand the territory of the Han Dynasty.

If my descendants have thin armor, I can wear it, and I can be fully covered on the battlefield. In my later years, I accidentally got a piece of iron from the sky, weighing about 120 kilograms. Unfortunately, no one in the present can melt it, so I can only send it to my descendants for it.

A man should die in the border area and be buried in a horse's corpse and then buried in an ear! I hope my descendants will encourage him! The final signature is Ma Yuan.

After reading the silk book of his ancestors, Ma Teng was a little excited. This cannot be blamed. In the era at that time, no matter who thought that if he could expand his territory, he would probably have the same passionate blood as Ma Teng, not to mention that he was a young man and a passionate man.

Unfortunately, this is just thinking about it. Now Ma Teng can’t even eat food, so he can’t think about it any more. Before he could expand his territory, he starved himself to death first, so he didn’t think about it much, just thinking about something to make a living. It’s really not good to have no food to eat.

He began to chop firewood on nearby mountains for a living, and then sold the firewood to a nearby market, barely making a living, and just like this day after day.

Until one day he rescued a woman besieged by a wolf on the mountain. Fortunately, there were not many wolves at that time, and he ran very quickly, otherwise they might not have come back. But in this way, Ma Teng was still a little injured. The woman bandaged him when she saw that her benefactor was injured.

Afterwards, Ma Teng's injury healed, but the woman who was rescued still went to his house to visit him often. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as restricted as the Song and Ming dynasties, she did not have such a woman. It can be seen that this woman's boldness can be comparable to modern people.

After a while, the two of them sparked love. After the woman's parents found out, they were very opposed to being together.

The woman's surname is Liu, and she is only 28 years old. She is sixteen years old. Although the Liu family in Maoling is not a family, she is also a well-known family in the local area. How could she marry her baby daughter to a poor boy who has nothing to do?

But Liu Yuan was about to marry, and she cried, made a fuss and hanged at home. In the end, she was forced to force her mother to have no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Her mother agreed, but her father wouldn't say anything. Her father was a well-known wife, and her mother's words were better than imperial edicts.

In desperation, she had to marry her daughter out, confiscate the amount of the dowry, but instead compensated a lot of the dowry. Her father felt distressed for several days, but never gave Ma Teng a good face.

Life passed day by day, and more than a year passed in a blink of an eye. In February of the second year of Jianning, Ma Teng's wife Liu was about to give birth. Ma Teng was exactly twenty years old this year, and his wife Liu was seventeen years old.

The first time he wanted to be a father, Ma Teng seemed very nervous and anxious, because only the wife's cry came from the delivery room, but there was no sound of a child. Just as he was wandering anxiously, the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and something seemed to be brewing in the dark sky.

I saw a flash of lightning slashing straight towards the delivery room. After a loud crack, a big hole was slashed on the roof of the delivery room. Seeing this, Ma Teng was about to rush into the delivery room, but he heard a loud cry from the delivery room.

At the same time, an old voice sounded behind him, "A strange phenomenon came from the sky, it turns out to be true. Congratulations to Lin'er, your Ma family has a queen!"

Ma Teng was shocked and sweated coldly when he heard this. Why? Because when he turned around and looked at the person, the person coming was coming from the door. The door was at least ten steps away from where Ma Teng stood. The person came just after he finished talking about the strange phenomenon from the sky and the word "elephant" was already by his side. But Ma Teng didn't see clearly how this person came, as if he had taken more than ten steps. Isn't it scary?

I saw the man who came with a crane hair and a childish face, and his fairy-like appearance was not obvious from his face. Ma Teng quickly clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to visit my wife and children first. If there is any negligence, please forgive me."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Since you're here, let's go together, please." The visitor said.

Ma Teng felt very unhappy, was it your son or my son? Why did he say it like I went to your house to see your son? Although he thought so, he didn't dare to show it because he knew that the old man next to him was definitely not a good man, and was unfathomable, so it would be better not to mess with him.

"Just because of this, the old man asked first." As he said that, Ma Teng and the people came to walk towards the delivery room.

Just as we walked to the door, the midwife and Wenmo came out of the delivery room. When we saw Ma Teng, we quickly congratulated him, "Congratulations to Mr. Ma, he is a young master, and both mother and son are safe!"

"Okay, come here, take your two mother-in-law to rest and give it a reward. Come here, come here to repair the roof quickly!"

Now Ma Teng is not the poor boy he used to be. Now he has a lot of family wealth. After all, his wife's family is a landlord in Maoling. It is enough for them to spend a few dozen acres of land for Ma Teng. Even the current large mansion is a dowry for her parents' family.

When he entered the house, he saw his wife lying on the couch and patting her newborn child. When he walked to the couch, Ma Teng took his wife's hand and said, "Yuan'er, thank you for your hard work, you are the hero of my Ma family."

"Not working hard." Then his wife Liu picked up the child and said, "Shoucheng, look at how much our son looks like you, these eyebrows and these noses."

"But I think he looks more like his mother, much better than me."

"I'm better than you, and I'm also my son. I don't know how many girls I'll provoke when I grow up."

"Of course, the more, the better." Ma Teng said with a smile

"Why don't you teach your son well? How come you are the father like this?"

"It's not like this. In fact, this is also for the prosperity of our Ma family."

"You haven't named your child yet."

The sudden voice scared the couple. Ma Teng was fine, but his wife Liu was shocked. She didn't know how the old man appeared, but who brought it to him. Liu asked blankly: "Shoucheng, this person is..."

"He is, this, he is..." Ma Tengxin said, "I don't know who this old man is. He came here by himself, I don't know him."

"I am Nanhua." The visitor said, and then ignored them and stared at the child.

"I have already thought of the name of the child. I hope our son can achieve great things and surpass all his ancestors, so I call him Ma Chao." Ma Teng said with a smile at the child.

Maybe no one noticed that Ma Chao's expression now was actually wide-eyed and a surprised expression. If you want to talk about why Ma Chao was like this, of course there is a reason.

If you are a college student who just graduated from later generations, it rained heavily when you went out to find a job, and you hid under a big tree to shelter from the rain, and a lightning flash happened to fall on you, and you happened to be split and crossed, and traveled to the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The person you were reborn was your favorite Ma Chao, who happened to be the same name and surname as you, what expression would you have?
