When they received the invitation call for the upcoming meeting of the first International Association of Magical Organizations, Ma Wei, Lu Xiangan, and Xiaobai were wandering around dozens of huge pairs of stones in the wilderness. 【Reading.com】

Here, on the plain north of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, some towering boulders stand in a ring in the wilderness, the whole Stonehenge covers an area of about ten hectares, composed of many giant blue sand stone blocks weighing dozens of tons, they are arranged in a circle, the highest stone is ten meters high, and many are attached to the two erected stone pillars.

According to archaeological experts, this Stonehenge is more than 4,300 years old.

It is amazing how people in ancient times transported so many huge stones to places where there was no blue sandstone, how they placed such heavy boulders on top of the stone pillars, and how those stone pillars weighing tens of tons were erected......

From ancient times to the present, countless scholars, experts have devoted themselves to the study of this Stonehenge, but it is still foggy, and the purpose and method of the ancestors to build this Stonehenge are unknown.

The reason why Ma Liang, Lu Xiangan, and Xiaobai came here is certainly not to uncover these historical mysteries.

They are only looking for the traces left by those ancient mysterious cultures that have been lost in the long river of human history.

Since this spring, they have been working on this long expedition.

From the magical scattered stone henge on the Tibetan Plateau in China, to the ruins of the Nazca Lines in Peru, Easter Island in Chile, the stone ball ruins of Costa Rica, the pyramids and sphinxes in Egypt...... and other mysterious historical sites that are famous all over the world.

In the words of Old Man Lu, they can touch the rudiments and even the peak of human magic culture in history through the ancient and mysterious relics of ancestors around the world.

Mysterious places, ruins, mysterious and strange phenomena..................

These cannot be solved only by a master of divination and prediction like Old Man Lu and an expert who is easy to learn. And with a master of magic like Ma Liang, and Xiaobai's unique celestial and human induction, the possibility of uncovering these mysteries will be magnified many times. After all, Ma Liang is proficient in the transcendent formation of magic, even if the formation is different, his perception and judgment can be called first-class; Xiaobai is directly able to integrate his thinking into nature, and any abnormality in details can be clearly sensed.

It is undeniable that formations exist in many historical sites.

The sacrifices, great gifts, funerals, customs, cultural inheritance, etc., of ancient wealth and waiting, are inseparable from the existence of magic.

From these ruins, you can discover the mysterious culture of ancient times, sense the mysterious power of various strange formations and the natural induction between heaven and earth, and use this to calculate and judge the historical environment at that time, the changing laws of nature, and so on.

As a result, Mr. Lu can have a deeper understanding and cognition of the art of divination and prediction.

The ultimate goal is to accumulate enough rich experience to improve one's understanding of the operation of the natural universe across the centuries. Then, the old man Lu Xiangan will make up his mind and start a prediction that shocks the past and the present.

This is his life's hope, and it is the proof that he has reached the peak of divination and prediction in his life.

And Ma Liang, although he has never had any grand ambitions, he is also attracted by this mysterious and great plan and wants to see the result, and is willing to be the person who will go down in history.

Perhaps, thousands of years later, when people talk about a certain mysterious tome, they will talk about the person who pushed the back is called Ma Liang - he woke up an old man named Lu Xiang'an who was sinking into the country, and then gently said something that can be called a eulogy: "The vast days are here, the rise and fall of the world is not free, and there are thousands of words, so it is better to push the back and return to rest.................."

Through the ages!

One sentence becomes a prophecy, and the road breaks through the thousand-year-old history.

How magnificent!

And for Xiaobai, she is purely fun, and has no other ideas - her goal is to travel the world.

Ma Liang squatted under a boulder as high as ** meters, pinched the spell in his mouth with one hand, and silently calculated in his heart with the other hand, sensing a trace of mysterious power that occasionally flowed out in Stonehenge. His heart was shocked.

The abilities of the ancients are far beyond what people today can imagine.

With the development of science and technology, who would have imagined that in the long river of human history, in fact, we are not only developing, we have also discarded the essence of many cultures. The ancients knew far more about the mysteries of the universe than they do today, and their knowledge was even higher.

They have explored and studied countless breathtaking laws of nature, and can use strange spells, spells, and formations to borrow the energy of heaven and earth for their own use..................

At this time, Old Man Lu also squatted aside, scattering more than a dozen bamboo sticks on the ground at any time, silently deducing......

The phone rings at an inopportune time.

Soon it broke.

Ma Liang retracted his mind, took out his mobile phone and looked at the missed caller ID, and then casually carved a few talismans in the void, and then dialed it - the magnetic field here is abnormal, so the mobile phone signal is extremely unstable.

Ma Liang's subtle technique can stabilize the magnetic field disorder in this formation in a short period of time.

The call just now was from Director Ma.

Although Director Ma disclosed to the entire Qimen Jianghu in China last year that his true identity was a descendant of the Lingnan Living Bodhisattva Shi Shouqian, he was later assassinated and discharged from the hospital, and after he was discharged from the hospital, he once again publicly stated that he would not change back to his original surname, his surname was Ma.

Because, he was not saved by the sitting Yama of the year, and the exquisite Chinese medicine techniques of the entire Shi family were also able to be passed down completely because of Ma Buwei, and he was not drowned in the moving dàng So, his surname is Ma!

Descendants, also surnamed Ma.

As for the subtle - thousand-handed Guanyin and other traditional Chinese medicine techniques, the surname is .................. The inheritor's surname is Ma, which is not in conflict.

"Xiao Liang, the first meeting of the International Association of Magical Organizations will be held in a week."

"Oh, you're going out of the mountains?" Ma Liang asked with a smile.

Last year, Director Ma was assassinated, and he was bedridden, lying quietly at home, watching the outside world bō waves and storms. It was only occasionally when someone contacted him to ask for something that he would put forward some opinions and suggestions seemingly randomly......

The real plan is implemented, and Director Ma has already arranged for his henchmen to do it.

He is like a master who retreats to the rivers and lakes to see Nanshan leisurely, listening to the rain beating plantains outside the window. A spark can start a prairie fire, and he is only the one who lit that fire.

"The Federation of Magic has just been formed, and it is not appropriate for me not to go to the first meeting to elect important presidents, spokespersons, and important council members." Director Ma said in a calm tone, and then said: "If you retreat, you will retreat, and naturally you will not go up again, but when the federation is just beginning, there must be someone to control the town, and you can really leave it alone after watching the federation become regular." ”

"Listen to the government, you have become a Lafayette."

"Stinky boy!" Director Ma scolded with a smile and said, "Are you with Old Man Lu?" Give me face this time, let's go and participate, and I can put on the title of honorary president or vice president......"

Ma Liang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't use it for anything else, right?" ”

"What?"

"Like, let me help get rid of a few disobedient .................."

"I don't know what your kid is thinking, don't worry, basically nothing will happen, but there will always be a few wisps of tiger power on this big banner. And even if you need to do this, you don't need to do it, there are only a few people in this world who can bother you as a legend to do it. ”

"Uncle Ma, you bury me."

Director Ma said happily: "After a week, the venue is Hamburg, Germany. ”

"Done."

After hanging up the phone, Ma Liang shrugged his shoulders and walked to the side of Old Man Lu not far away.

When he called just now, although Ma Liang also knew that he was a little suspicious and cautious, he felt that it was necessary. Because of Director Ma's person, don't look at him wearing a suit and tie and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he has a weak scholarly demeanor all day long, but in fact, this guy is ruthless, and the city government is very good at layout and planning.

This kind of person......

Fortunately, it is not an enemy, otherwise it would make Ma Liang unaware every day.

As a true friend and relative, he can let Ma Liang sleep a lot every day, and he doesn't have to worry about the sky falling.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another summer has arrived.

In a high-end villa community in Liangxiang, Fangshan District, a luxury Mercedes-Benz RV slowly drove into a European-style villa courtyard, and the door opened and two nannies in their twenties got out of the car first and hugged the little ones who were chattering and shouting.

Wu Qiong and Ma Liang got out of the car and picked up one by one.

Xiaobai jumped out of the car and walked towards the villa with his hands behind his back. At this time, Wei Miao and Jiang Biyun happened to come out to greet them, and when they saw the little ones jumping around, they were immediately overjoyed, and everyone also bent down to pick up the little ones, talking and laughing and walking towards the villa.

The living room is large, with a carpet as bright and soft as satin, and the air conditioning is turned on, so the indoor air is fresh and cool.

The six little ones in small kùs and vests are not naughty, and the eldest Ma Xianren struggles to climb the stairs under the careful care of the nanny; The second Ma Xianyi was fiddling with the remote control, looking curiously at the constantly changing TV screen; The third horse sits on the carpet and plays with blocks; The fourth horse squatted next to the third one, and whenever the building blocks built by the third base had a certain height, he pushed it down with his middle hand, squeaking and laughing happily; The fifth Ma Xianxin dragged the little nanny's hand, babbling and counting the nanny's fingers, and the childish children's voice in his mouth sounded: "One, two, three, four............"

The sixth Ma Xianhe came to Wei Miao and Jiang Biyun to act like a good baby, and listened curiously to the conversation of the adults with a pair of eyes that looked like Ma Liang.

After Xiaobai came here, he went into the study to play with the computer.

Ma Liang felt that the three women were in one play, and he couldn't interject, so he ran over to play with the third and fourth children. He sat on the carpet like a big kid, and sometimes snatched control of a block with the two children, and he was very happy.

"Xiaoqiong, your website has made a good pop-up advertisement for our company, and the company has decided to renew the advertising contract, but I hope that your website can add a few more pages of advertising color boxes.

"Well, I'll talk to the advertising planning department."

Wei Miao suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "By the way, among the people who came to sign a contract with us in your company a few days ago, there was a girl named Zhang Xintong, I was looking at the photo album at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect that girl to know Ma Liang............"

"Oh? Such a coincidence? Wu Qiong was slightly different and looked at Ma Liang.

Ma Liang was playing with the two children grabbing blocks there.

"I can see from that girl's eyes that she has a lot of admiration for Ma Liang, a senior." Wei Miao said as she looked at Ma Liang, who was sitting on the carpet not far away and pretending not to hear. "Senior Ma, that junior girl also said that she hadn't seen you for a long time, and she always wanted to see you again."

"Huh?" Ma Liang turned his head and said casually: "Cheng, if you have the chance, I'll see you, that girl is actually unlucky, if it weren't for me, she would have to let the little ghost be killed." Oh yes, Xiao Qiong also knows about this, I told her. ”

Wei Miao looked at Wu Qiong in surprise.

Wu Qiong thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it seems that there is such a thing, but I didn't expect such a coincidence to work in our company." ”

Wei Miao couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Ma Liang said happily: "Our person is not afraid of shadows, there is no secret." ”

"Yes, but this position must be guarded, what do you say? Little Joan. ”

Qiong blushed slightly and nodded in agreement.

Ma Liangda grinned and said, "Yes, you two are wearing a kùzi .................."

Jiang Biyun was confused when he listened to the side, but he didn't bother to pay attention to these three people - Ma Liang used to be a mysterious person, and now Wei Miao and Wu Qiong, who are contaminated, often say some divine chatter, and the relationship between the three of them always feels a little weird..................

The topic quickly diverged, no one paid any attention to Ma Liang anymore, and even the two children seemed to hate this father who grabbed toys with them, so they got up and ran to the side with their toys.

Ma Liang sat alone on the carpet and giggled happily, thinking about whether to add a few more babies?

At this time, the second child was tired of playing with the relationship between the remote control and the TV, so he climbed down from the sofa and ran to Jiang Biyun's side to snatch a toy gun with the sixth child.

The sixth child couldn't grab the second child, but he didn't cry, just stood there with a bitter face and pouted.

The second child held a pistol against the crotch of the sixth child's small kù, and said in a milky voice: "Don't move, bang bang bang!" ”

"Don't hit here!" The sixth child was a little shy, and he covered the little ** part with his hands as if he was afraid.

The second child raised his gun and waved it twice in demonstration, but he didn't bully his brother anymore, and turned around and ran towards his father with the gun.

The three women were amused by the shyness and nervousness of the sixth child's little expression.

Jiang Biyun even stretched out his hand to pull away the old six's pair of small hands, while mischievously picking open the kù of the little sixth, looking at the little ** inside, and said, "Little Liu, why can't you fight here?" ”

"It's gone, you can't pee."

"Haha." Jiang Biyun couldn't do it, and said, "Then can you give this to Auntie?" ”

Xiao Liu tilted his head and said, "Why?" ”

"Auntie likes it?"

Xiao Liu hurriedly took two steps back, as if he had encountered a demon, and said timidly: "I, I can't give it to Auntie, Auntie, if Auntie likes it, I, my father, there's a big one, you go and ask for him." ”

Quiet!

There was a burst of silence in the living room.

Burst............

Wei Miao couldn't help but laugh and bent over first.

Wu Qiong couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and laughing.

Jiang Biyun's face was red and white, and he didn't know what to do in embarrassment, but the little guy in front of him still looked pitiful and nervous, covering his little crotch and being aggrieved.

Ma Liang completely collapsed, and tears flowed down his heart - Liu'er, what a good son of his father.

When he was moved in his heart, Ma Liang found that Jiang Biyun's gaze turned to him, and he immediately jumped up from the ground, looking terrified, turned around and walked out, muttering in a low voice: "No, no, this thing can't be given away............"

"Bad horse, you give me death!"

The roar of the lion in Hedong suddenly resounded throughout the villa.

The six Diao and the guy were startled, and they all turned their heads to look at Jiang Biyun in a daze.

After a while, they found that Aunt Jiang Biyun was blushing and talking happily with her mother and Aunt Wei Miao, and the little ones suddenly felt that the thoughts of adults were too complicated.

This year, the world situation is unpredictable, and the major powers have frequently made strange moves, openly and covertly fighting, and the situation is complicated.

Several limited wars have broken out in the corners of the world.

Natural disasters are frequent, and people are worried - is it possible that a third world war is about to break out? Or, is the end of the earth coming?

Will the old prophecy come true?

Will the Fourth World War of humanity be made of sticks and stones?

On a snowy night.

In an ordinary second-tier city on the North China Plain, in an ordinary building in an old residential community with a history of more than 20 years.

There are no lights in the study.

Just two thick red candles were lit, and the flames jumped and sprinkled dim light.

An old man with white hair was sitting in front of the desk, pressing on a compass with his left hand, his five fingers moving rapidly, holding a carbon pen in his right hand, and sketching quickly on a notebook Ma Liang was standing beside the old man, his eyes slightly closed, his hands pinched in front of his abdomen, and his expression was solemn.

On the floor around the desk, there is a faint halo, and if you look closely, you can see that it is actually a real Tai Chi pattern, and the yīn yang fish is still circulating and moving. During the movement of the yīn yang fish, Ma Liang and Lu Xiang'an would constantly change the position of the fish's eyes in the yīn yang fish, sometimes from the yang point in the extreme yīn, and sometimes from the yīn point in the extreme yang.

Outside the study.

A girl who looked to be thirteen years old stood quietly in front of the window, looking out the window at the snow, as if she could see the end of the snow, where it was misty and hazy, sometimes colorful, sometimes black and white, the noise and silence were just the reincarnation of the beginning and the end in the blink of an eye.

When, when, when......

The old grandfather clock rings.

It's past one o'clock in the morning.

In a quiet study.

The rustling voice of writing is exceptionally clear, messy and hasty, and exudes a strange restlessness.

Ma Liang opened his eyes, parted his hands, walked behind Old Man Lu in one step, and leaned over to look at the hasty and messy handwriting and scribbled patterns on the notebook. Then, he raised his hands, gently pushed the back of Old Man Lu, and opened his mouth to let out a faint strange voice that seemed to come from the sky: "The vast days are here, the rise and fall of the world is not free, and there are thousands of words, it is better to push the back and go to rest.................."

Pen stop.

Cha......

Paper cracking.

Old Man Lu woke up from the entry, looked at the dimly lit study with some blankness, and turned his head to look at the smiling young man behind him.

Ahem!

Suddenly, Old Man Lu opened his mouth and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.

Ma Liang immediately pressed one hand on the back of Old Man Lu's heart, and crossed into a wisp of true qi wrapped in mental power, smoothing the anger in Old Man Lu's heart and the shock in the meridians.

After a long time, Old Man Lu's rapid breathing eased down, looked at the scribbled handwriting and drawings on the last page of the notebook, and smiled slightly: "It's okay." ”

Liang nodded.

"This life is enough." Old Man Lu sighed with emotion, as if he had suddenly aged a lot, got up and walked to the window, looking out of the window where the snow was fluttering and the night was heavy.

Ma Liang walked over, lit a cigarette, puffed on the smoke and said, "You have crossed that hurdle, I can feel it." ”

The old man's state of mind was unprecedentedly quiet and peaceful, and he said in a vicissitudes of tone: "Life is in a hurry for a hundred years, and there are gains and losses, and success or failure is not empty.................. Only the endless sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty can know the true five flavors of life. ”

"Don't mind, I'm not so vicissitudes, use your old state of mind to influence me."

"What do you think?"

"I don't want to think about anything except Wei'an and Gao Yuan, I want to .................. everything else" Ma Liang pouted and said, "I don't believe it, to be a high-ranking character, is it possible that you don't have to and pee after eating and drinking?" ”

Old Man Lu rarely felt helpless because of Ma Liang's extremely vulgar words, but nodded with feeling, and asked, "What do you think, what is the belief of human beings?" ”

"Yù-Wang!"

Ma Liang replied very simply.

The end of the book...
