After the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhao State, the next day, Chengsheng went to the palace of Daliang State and met the purple-robed man who came to buy candy at his stall that day.

This person is none other than Zhao Yuan, the emperor of Zhao State.

Facing Zhao Yuan, Cheng Huo used exactly the same rhetoric as when he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion:

Chengsheng instructed Zhao Yuan to practice, and in return, Zhao Yuan needed to help Chengsheng find a different life, and he had experienced great wealth and wealth in his life, and he had also experienced poverty.

In addition to the emperor and the prime minister, after surviving, he met several powerful officials in the city of Daye one after another.

With the help of these many people, he can meet three to five people almost every day, and his life is destined to have great ups and downs.

By observing the lives of these people, Cheng Sheng will live a variety of life, and the way of fate he has comprehended, all of which are painted in his sugar man.

This has made his skills even more and more impressive. During this period, more than a dozen people who bought sugar paintings were destined to attain enlightenment.

Time flies.

Nearly a year has passed in a flash.

…

Winter.

Snow.

Light Feather Star Heavenly Gate Station, the top of the mountain.

Nangong Yongchang sat cross-legged on his knees, and after refining the trace of 'Qi Luck Power' he had just absorbed, he suddenly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be a flash of thunder in those eyes, and there was an indescribably powerful aura in their eyes.

Nangong Yongchang's side.

The monks surnamed Yun, the monks surnamed Li, and the monks surnamed Murong who felt this breath all opened their eyes and looked towards Nangong Yongchang.

After feeling the momentum of Nangong Yongchang's whole person, and began to skyrocket over time, the monk surnamed Yun, who was wearing a dual-core Yunxia Dao robe, couldn't help but speak: "Nangong Daoyou, congratulations, congratulations, I didn't expect that it has only been a year, and you have broken through from the early stage of the Yuan Infant to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant." ”

When a practitioner cultivates, every time he ascends to a great realm, his lifespan will be greatly extended.

For example, during the Qi cultivation period, the monk only lived for more than 100 years, which was not much more than that of mortals.

But after the foundation building period, the lifespan can be directly extended to more than 200 years old, which is directly doubled.

The monks of the Jindan period lived for 500 years, which doubled again.

In addition to extending the lifespan of the monk when he breaks through the great realm, he can also extend his lifespan slightly every time he breaks through the small bottleneck and spends the early, middle and late stages of a realm.

For example, Nangong Yongchang's breakthrough this time.

This breakthrough will at least allow him to live for another fifty years or so, which is very important for Nangong Yongchang, who has little life left.

Mountaintop.

Nangong Yongchang let out a breath of turbidity, looked at the three Yuan Infant Daoists beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Although it only took me a year to break through to the middle Yuan Infant stage, but. There's still so little time left for us! ”

"In the past year or so, there have been natural and man-made disasters all over the Light Feather Star. Even though we have taken a ruthless step to collect the luck of the 'Children of Destiny' and try to maintain the balance between heaven and earth, the Light Feather Star is still developing in the worst direction step by step. ”

"Indeed." The monk surnamed Yun, who was wearing a dual-core Yunxia Dao robe, echoed: "Now that the situation of Guangyu Star is deteriorating step by step, almost one-third of the entire planet has been affected, and then Wang Hu Daoyou, who took the lead in resisting this catastrophe, has disappeared again. ”

"Alas, if this continues, the Light Feather Star is really going to end."

…

At the same time.

Zhao Imperial Palace, inside the Golden Light Palace.

At this moment, Emperor Zhao Yuan was sitting on the dragon chair.

He put his hand on his cheek and listened helplessly to the recital presented by the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, this flood has flooded almost all places in the five counties and thirteen counties of my Zhao Kingdom, and our Daye City has survived because of its high terrain."

"After the people's grain was flooded, it was freezing in the cold, and they couldn't find anything to eat in the wild, so they all went south and fled to our Great Cause City."

"Okay, I got it." Zhao Yuan said weakly: "Those people who have fled, how long will it take to come to Daye City." ”

"The batch closest to our Daye City will come outside my Daye City in no more than ten days." The minister bowed to Zhao Yuan and said, "Therefore, please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order quickly, so that people can prepare rice and grain for soup soup relief to the victims." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means!" As soon as the minister's voice fell, he saw another person in the court stand up, bow down and say: "As the saying goes: people do not suffer from widowhood but from inequality. ”

"At present, the number of victims coming to my Daye City is afraid that it is as high as 10 million, and with the food stored in our Daye City first, we can only save 12 of them at most. And the most taboo thing about this disaster relief is to save one group of people and abandon another group of people at the same time. ”

"Doing so is very likely to provoke public anger and inevitably lead to bloodshed and conflict in the end."

"Fei Yuanqing!" Seeing that this person retorted, the courtier who put forward the disaster relief proposal at the beginning said angrily: "You old puppet is really shameless!" Don't you know that human life matters? Although there is not much food in my Daye City, it can save nearly a million people and help them survive until the beginning of spring next year. ”

"Heh," Fei Yuanqing sneered: "Lord Lile, what you said is light, this disaster relief proposal was put forward by you, and the benefits and reputation have earned you, but how do you plan to solve the conflicts and riots caused by disaster relief?" ”

"You've said all the good things, but you don't think about the consequences, in my opinion, you're just a fame and reputation! You can't do real things! ”

"You!" Lile was furious.

"Alas"

Dragon chair.

Seeing the two ministers under his command arguing, Emperor Zhao Yuan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

If it were in the past, with Zhao Yuan's temper, he might have already angrily reprimanded these two, but since he embarked on the path of cultivation because of eating sugar people, Zhao Yuan is no longer interested in Jiangshan Sheji.

He only wants to become an immortal now.

Zhao Yuan quietly watched the performances of the two ministers, Lile and Fei Yuanqing.

It wasn't until the two attacked each other until their mouths were dry and they were both silent that Zhao Yuanfang looked at Bai Haosi, the prime minister who was among the top hundred officials.

"Bai Aiqing, what do you think differently about this disaster relief?"

——The relationship between Zhao Yuan and Bai Haosi was not very good, but since Zhao Yuan stepped into the path of cultivation and Bai Haosi also got on the line with Chengsheng, the two had no intention of continuing to fight for power and profit, so the relationship warmed up again.

Nowadays, Zhao Yuan is in the court, and occasionally takes the initiative to ask the opinion of Prime Minister Bai Haosi.

Sometimes, he even fantasized that Bai Haosi would suddenly burst out, snatch his position and ascend the throne as emperor.

In this way, Zhao Yuan will be able to live happily.

However, Bai Haosi didn't have the slightest idea of this now, and he didn't even want to be the prime minister.

In the court.

Seeing that the emperor threw the question to himself, Bai Haosi looked at his nose and nose, and said respectfully: "Everything is up to Your Majesty!" ”

"Alas," Zhao Yuan sighed again.

Just when the ministers were helpless, an official in the team suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, why don't we go and ask the old fairy to try?" ”

"The old immortal can help people have an epiphany and gain the Tao on the ground, I'm afraid that even the immortal cultivators of the famous sect can't do it, so come to think of it, the old immortal must be a person with great ability and magical powers, maybe he can solve this trouble for us."

Zhang Lao Immortal

Hearing what this official said, Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Bai Haosi: "Bai Aiqing, then please go to the East Market to find it."

Saying that, Zhao Yuanhu felt that this could not show his sincerity, so he hurriedly changed his words: "It's not appropriate for you to go alone, it's better for me to go over in person, and you will accompany me on the side!" ”

Under the poor skills of the donkey, Zhao Yuan took the ministers who could speak in the court and had a certain status, and hurried towards the sugar man stall where Chengsheng was located.

After more than a year of fermentation, almost everyone in Daye City knows about the deeds of survival.

At the beginning, countless people went to the survival booth every day to watch.

But over time, after people got used to it, they rarely went to the stalls, and only occasionally glanced at them when they passed by.

Some people who have spare money and fantasize about taking a step to the sky will try to try their luck by buying a living candy man

East Bazaar.

After some preparations, Zhao Yuan wore a dragon robe and walked on the street of Dongbazaar with hundreds of officials.

This situation quickly attracted the attention of the people in the city, so the people followed suit, and in a short time, Zhao Yuan's team grew to more than 2,000 people.

Under the gaze of countless people, Zhao Yuan came to the street of Dongbazaar, where Chengsheng was located.

In the face of Chengsheng, he didn't care about his status as an emperor at all, and immediately respectfully bowed to Chenghuo.

After a salute, Fang spoke: "Old Immortal Zhang, recently, there have been floods in all parts of Zhao Kingdom, and the people have been displaced, and they are now coming to Daye City. ”

"According to preliminary estimates, the total number of these victims is about 10 million, but my treasury can only save about a million people at most, and it must be a careful budget."

"I really have no choice, so I brought hundreds of officials to ask the old immortals, and asked the old immortals to help the people of Zhao State through this difficulty!"

Sugar Man stall.

In the face of Zhao Yuan's request, Emperor Zhao of Zhao State, Chengsheng was silent, just concentrating on painting sugar figures on the stall.

——After more than a year of polishing, the skill of painting candy people alive is not what it used to be a year ago.

Nowadays, the sugar man he paints does not need to be approached at all, even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the infinite avenue contained in it.

Some people with high understanding can vaguely see their future destiny from it.

Seeing that Chengsheng didn't speak, Zhao Yuan and the others didn't dare to continue to speak.

Everyone stared blankly at Chenghuo painting, looking at the unfinished sugar man on the bamboo chip, and for a while, they were all immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

And it's not just the emperor and officials of Zhao State.

The people who followed the periphery of the procession, those who were closer, were also intoxicated by every move of Chengsheng.

Everyone present was immersed in the 'Avenue of Destiny' that they were comprehending.

This is the path that can only be comprehended when a monk has broken through to the primordial infant stage and is ready to touch a higher realm.

This path would even be intoxicated by the Yuan Infant Monk unconsciously, so what about a group of mortals?

About half an hour passed like this.

He didn't speak until the candy man in his hands was finished.

This opening woke up a group of onlookers outside the world: "It's not difficult to save those disaster victims, but even with my means, I can only save the people for a while, but not for a lifetime." ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials and the people all looked at Chengsheng together.

Emperor Zhao Yuan was even more puzzled: "How can the old immortal say this? ”

Cheng Huo looked up at the sky and said as if muttering, "Didn't I tell you before. The luck on the Light Feather Star is out of balance, so there will be a catastrophe coming in the future, and this flood is just the beginning. ”

Zhao Yuan said: "I don't care what the future holds, just ask the old fairy to make a move, and help my people get through this difficulty first." ”

"All you're asking for is food rations for the victims, right?"

Seeing Zhao Yuan's repeated requests, Cheng Sheng put his hand on the space gem on his chest.

A few seconds later, a scarlet, wriggling lump of flesh appeared in the palm of the living hand for no apparent reason.

Cheng Huo shook the meat ball in his hand and said to Zhao Yuan: "Take this thing, and then prepare a larger tank, put the meat ball in it and soak it in water." ”

"It will only take three days at most for this ball of meat to start growing like crazy, and the more water you add, the faster it will grow."

"Theoretically, as long as you add enough water, you can fill the stomachs of tens of millions of victims."

As he spoke, Cheng Huo threw the meat ball in his hand towards Zhao Yuan

The Light Feather Star is occupied by unspeakable creatures that feed on the 'power of luck', while the meat ball comes from the Xuanwu Star.

From territory occupied by other unspeakable creatures.

Therefore, due to the different camps, at this moment, in the eyes of Emperor Zhao Yuan, the meat ball turned into a dark black and a strange thing that constantly emitted a foul smell.

Zhao Yuan looked at Cheng Huo, his face was ugly, and he said, "Old immortal, this black lump you gave, can this thing really be eaten?" ”

"Yes."

Cheng Huo said: "I know that this thing may become strange or even disgusting in your eyes. ”

"But where I used to live, this thing was the food ration that many people at the bottom relied on for their livelihood."

"The people there call this edible thing 'Tai Sui Meat', but as for how 'Tai Sui Meat' came from, then I don't know, after all, as long as this kind of meat is added with water, it can multiply indefinitely, so no matter who it is, it is difficult to figure out where the original piece of Tai Sui meat is and how it appeared."

Okay

Since Chengsheng said so, and Zhao Yuan really had nothing to do now, he had to temporarily believe that the dark black strange thing in his hand was edible.

Zhao Yuan held the meat ball in his hand, turned around, and glanced at the ministers.

"Li Aiqing."

Zhao Yuanchong was in the court before, and Lile, who took the initiative to put forward the disaster relief proposal, ordered: "I will be fully responsible for this disaster relief matter. ”

As he spoke, he handed the meat ball in his hand to the eunuch who was with him.

The eunuch solemnly handed over the meat ball to Lile.

"Minister, obey!" After the latter received Zhao Yuan's will, he hurriedly left the crowd.

I guess it's to test the characteristics of meat balls.
