Ma Liang used a branch to draw a sketch of something on the ground, and said absentmindedly: "No, but what you said, can you still eat it after so many years?" ”

"Ha, probably, I've eaten to increase my strength for n years or something." Liang Chengcheng did not continue to dwell on this topic, but looked at the sketches of Ma Liang's subordinates and suddenly laughed.

"I know that, map."

"yes, the map." Ma Liang squinted his eyes and watched the outline of the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou expand from under his hands, mountains, rivers, towns, and people...... "You are not the same as before." Liang Chengcheng glanced at Ma Liang and said, "Anyway, I always feel that you don't look like a child." ”

"I always thought I was a child, but the teacher told me that a person can't be a child for the rest of his life." Ma Liang sighed, pointed to the map under his men with a branch, and muttered, "Hedong County...... Changsan-gun ...... Jinghe ......"

Liang Chengcheng chewed the somewhat sour flesh and raised his eyes to look at Ma Liang: "I've always wanted to tell you, but I don't know how to say it, could it be that Dr. Yuan gave you the happiness of growing up?" ”

"What is the joy of growing up? Brother Liang, is it something from your hometown again? Ma Liang looked down at the map under his hand: "It's so complicated?" ”

"What's so complicated?"

Ma Liang broke the branch with some frustration, looked at the map under his hand, only felt that the more he looked at it, the stranger it became, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Drought and flood, chaos of the people, national policy, clan...... When the teacher told me, it was very simple, but I couldn't understand it, and I always felt that it was too complicated. ”

"You wouldn't have thought about it so much before." Liang Chengcheng nibbled on his wild fruit and did not follow Ma Liang's topic.

"In the beginning, I wanted to change things around me so that everyone could be happy. But then I realized that there were more people who were working hard where I couldn't see. I don't know how to say it, but I always feel like I can actually help more people. ”

"Maleonn...... How far do you think you've got? Liang Chengcheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Liang with strange eyes.

Ma Liang turned his head and replied, "Does it matter?" ”

"Of course it does." Liang Chengcheng threw away the kernel in his hand, stood up from the ground, stretched out a somewhat slimy finger and said:

"The dean of Aoyama can decide whether all the patients will eat steamed buns or go hungry the next day, but he still has the sponsorship group at his head; The sir in the police station can let the prisoner lie in front of him like his grandson, but he must also be like his grandson in front of the commissioner; The average old boy has to obediently bow his head and call the big brother when he encounters the red stick double flower, but the so-called gold medal fighters are just dogs that can be thrown out at any time in the eyes of those big guys...... That's the limit, you know? ”

Looking at the mottled juice in Liang Chengcheng's palm, Ma Liang was stunned, and only after a long time did he throw away the branch in frustration: "I understand." ”

"But I could have done better." Ma Liang looked at the big map at his feet and squinted his eyes: "Better than all of them." ”

A look that Liang Chengcheng had never seen appeared again in Ma Liang's eyes, and that brilliance was called ideal, or ambition.

"Haha." Liang Chengcheng laughed, pointed at Ma Liang's face and laughed: "Yes, I only found out today...... Haha, how did I not know about it before...... Ma Liang, you're really powerful......"

"I want to change the world, and I want the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou to change into what you want......

"You're going to ...... Are you trying to ......"

Even Liang Chengcheng was shocked by Ma Liang's idea, he saw the ambition that even Ma Liang had not discovered, and looked at Ma Liang's ignorant eyes with a curious eye to discover something new:

"Do you want to be emperor!?"

The emperor, the person sitting on the highest chair, the top of all mortals...... "Emperor ......" Ma Liang was stunned for a moment: "Become an emperor?" Can I change all that? ”

"Maybe." Liang Chengcheng smiled: "How is it, dare you?" ”

"Then ......" Ma Liang raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and for the first time this child showed his ideals or ambitions, he aimed at the highest place.

There was no timidity, no fear, no fear of violating taboos in ordinary people's hearts, as if it was the most natural thing, and he once again made a choice to change his life.

He stretched out his palm somewhere in the sky, grabbed the invisible object hard, and laughed, "So...... Let's become an emperor first! ”

Ma Liang said that he didn't know if he was trembling in Donglai Shenzhou, and the only one who responded to his words was Liang Chengcheng, who was crazy next to him.

Just behind them, an old man turned around and nodded slowly, a smile of hope in his face.

Could this kid really be the one I'm waiting for?

But that's not enough, at least one more ...... If I can save this era, even if I am captured back to Heaven again, what does it matter?

The butterfly named Liang Chengcheng flapped its wings, and the predetermined historical trajectory changed its course in the midst of various coincidences and mistakes.

Whether it will really affect the world, no one knows, this needs to be verified by time.

In this way, time passed in a hurry, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

-- Somewhere thousands of miles away from them, another old man was waiting in front of the Dan furnace, waiting for the final result.

In the cave that has begun to crumble, the corpse of the demon has been cleared out by the old man in the past few days. The only thing that could make a sound in the entire huge cavern was the silent burning Dan furnace.

Through the thick barrier, the old man could still hear the burning sound clearly.

For nine days, he waited here for the final result, a little restless at first, but after a long time he calmed down, the difference was that the fire in his heart burned more and more.

It almost burned him out in just a few days.

Waiting silently beside the Dan furnace, he listened to the sound of the flame burning. After listening to it for a long time, I suddenly had the illusion that the tide was rushing on the beach, and in that low sound, it was easy to ignore the temperature of the flames and want to plunge into it.

The old man took another breath of tobacco, slowly lowered the stick, and knocked it lightly on the stone. As a result, the ashes of the burned tobacco leaves scattered, leaving patches and mottled marks on the ground.

There were two hundred and seventy-one traces of white soot, and these somewhat crude tobaccos accompanied him through the nine days of difficult waiting.

In his early years, he liked to smoke these things, but when he was old, he quit in order to live longer. Perhaps knowing that after a few days, he would no longer have to worry about these problems, so he picked up his old hobby again.

In the quiet deep mountains, the old man waited silently. Sunlight shone down from the cracks above the cavern, and specks of dust appeared in the light and slowly fell.

In this incomparable silence, it felt like it was about to melt, and only the old man's coughing from time to time could be heard clearly.

After nine days, he thought about many things, childhood, adolescence, youth...... All the way to old age. Over the years, a lot has happened and there have been many setbacks, but he has survived until now.

And will continue to live.

His palm caressed the warm Dan furnace, impatiently waiting for the fire to slowly subside. He could almost imagine that in a place where he couldn't see, the white flames refined everything into the most essential materials, and after integrating into the vitality of the entire leyline, the dross turned into gas under the burning of the flames, and the most essential things formed a pill, shining in the darkness.

Smell it, live for ten years, taste it, and live for a thousand years...... That's the elixir I've dreamed of in this life...... For it, I gave almost everything.

He had never deceived Green Snake and his wife and killed them, and he was really sad, but why couldn't they understand? If they really love themselves, then they should die happily for the sake of their own good life...... No matter what happened, they all died, and they will live well with their blessings.

He laughed and looked up at the light above him, barely close.

Using the seven gourds produced by the innate spirit seed as the material, the Heavenly Realm Pure Fire was calcined for nine days and six hours to achieve a pill, and from then on, bid farewell to this weak body, eat and drink dew, and swim in the twilight of the sea...... It's a little bit closer...... He was about to jump for joy, dancing and waiting for the last moment to pass. The fire had slowly faded, and he could even hear the soft sound of the furnace as it was formed.

Finally, it's over!

He threw away the cigarette stick in his hand and stood in front of the Dan furnace, stroking the delicate and warm shell of the Dan furnace, and hallucinating the fetal movements like a baby.

With an impatient smile, the old man used all his strength to twist the center of the Dan Furnace, and it took a long time to unscrew the locked hub, and finally heard a soft sound from the hub.

He took a deep breath, calmed the flames in his heart that were about to burn him out, laughed and opened the door of the Dan furnace, and then his cheerful smile was interrupted and turned into a staccato sound.

A burst of heat rushed to his face, and the light shone into the darkness of the Dan furnace from behind him, allowing him to see an incomprehensible scene.

The midday light shot down through the crack above the cavern, piercing the darkness, and the light and darkness seemed to cut the Dan furnace, and the old man stood in the sunlight and saw the faint outline of the Dan furnace in the darkness.

Layers of ash were scattered on the Dan furnace, and traces of the struggle of the demon fetus in the flames could be faintly seen. Right in the very center of the Dan furnace, a glimmer of golden light pierced through the vague humanoid coke and fell into his eyes.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again: "Aha...... You're here......"

The fear in his heart vanished, and he laughed and stepped into the furnace, holding out his palm to the vague human-shaped coke. Just under the coke, there was a faint light, and it must be the light of the Seven Star Pill.

In the midst of his movements, a strange sound appeared, as if something under the charcoal of the human figure had awakened, and in the darkness, struggling to break free, the thin crust of charcoal that had bound him on the outside shattered.

An arm suddenly reached out from the charcoal and grabbed the old man's palm.

As if it was just a prank that had been waiting for nine days, the once severed right hand grabbed the old man's wrist, and the glimmer of light slowly expanded, finally revealing its original appearance.
