Ma Xian is a continuation of Shamanism, a primitive religion, which trains elves and monsters to help the world and others. Choose one's disciples from the crowd and help others by doing good deeds.
Going out: in the north, it is called carrying a load, carrying incense and leading troops. In the south, it's called shelling, sitting down, setting the table, etc. There are many names depending on the region. But in the end it's all for the same purpose. A disciple (also called Ma Di) led the entrance of a fairy family to check things and see a doctor.
In ancient times, people believed in ghosts and gods, so there was a wizard industry that has continued to this day.
According to legend, wizards are people who can communicate with ghosts and gods and transmit information. It is a profession based on the exchange of information between mortals and gods. It is responsible for uploading orders, bringing God's will to mortals, and then conveying their demands to the gods. This culture has been passed down to today and evolved into the form of a horse.

The origin of ma xian
"Going out" refers to some animals, such as foxes, snakes and weasels. After hundreds of years of practice, lightning protection has been practiced faster and has been possessed. Among animals, Huang Hu pythons are the most common and have the highest morality, so they are called four big families by the world. According to legend, Great Grandfather Hu San and Nai Hu San are the most famous in the family. They are responsible for directing and supervising the world.
In order to practice, or because of accepting a task, the animal elves who want to start a class want to avoid lightning robbery and practice quickly. They deliberately chose some humans as incense, so there was another profession on the earth-Matou.
Humans have really taken the shortcut to practice, and it is faster and more efficient for people to practice without being struck by lightning.
