After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion of Zhao State, Cheng Huo went to the Liang Kingdom Palace again the next day and met the man in purple robe who came to his stall to buy candy.
This person is Zhao Yuan, the emperor of Zhao State.
Facing Zhao Yuan, Chenghuo used the same rhetoric as when he was at the Prime Minister's Office:
Cheng Sheng guides Zhao Yuan in his practice, and in return, Zhao Yuan needs to help Cheng Sheng find a unique destiny. He has experienced great wealth and poverty in his life.
In addition to the emperor and prime minister, after surviving, he met several officials who could be regarded as powerful in Zhao State in Daye City.
With the help of these many people, Chengshuo can see three to five people almost every day, whose destiny is destined to have ups and downs.
By observing the fortunes of these people, Cheng Sheng drew all the various aspects of life and the destiny he understood in his sugar figures.
This made his skills improve by leaps and bounds. During this period, more than ten people who were destined to buy sugar paintings became enlightened.
Time flies.
Time flies and nearly a year has passed.
…
Winter.
It's snowing heavily.
Guangyu Xingtianmen station, on the top of the mountain.
Nangong Yongchang sat cross-legged. After refining the "power of luck" he had just absorbed, he suddenly opened his eyes.
There seemed to be lightning flashing in those eyes, and there was an indescribably powerful aura in his gaze.
Next to Nangong Yongchang.
The monks surnamed Yun, monk surnamed Li, and monk surnamed Murong, who felt this aura, all opened their eyes and looked towards Nangong Yongchang.
After feeling Nangong Yongchang's aura, which began to skyrocket over time, the monk surnamed Yun, who was wearing a dual-core Yunxia Taoist robe, couldn't help but said: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, congratulations, I didn't expect that in only one year, you will It has broken through from the early stage of Yuanying to the middle stage of Yuanying.”
When practitioners practice, every time they advance to a greater realm, their lifespan will be greatly extended.
For example, the lifespan of a monk during the Qi training period is only over a hundred years, which is not much longer than that of a mortal.
But after reaching the foundation building stage, the life span can be directly extended to more than two hundred years, which is directly doubled.
The lifespan of a monk in the golden elixir stage is five hundred years, which is doubled again.
In addition to extending the lifespan of a monk when he breaks through a big realm, he can also slightly extend his lifespan every time he breaks through a small bottleneck and passes through the early, middle and late stages of a realm.
Just like Nangong Yongchang’s breakthrough.
This breakthrough will allow him to live for at least another fifty years, which is crucial for Nangong Yongchang, who has very little life left.
Mountain top.
Nangong Yongchang let out a long breath, looked at the three Nascent Soul Taoist friends beside him, and said with a wry smile: "Although it only took me one year to break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage, there is still too little time left for us. Got it!"
"In the past year or so, there have been constant natural and man-made disasters all over Guangyu Star. Even though we have been ruthless to collect the luck of the 'Destined Children' and work hard to maintain the balance between heaven and earth, Guangyu Star has It’s still developing in the worst direction step by step.”
"Indeed." The monk surnamed Yun wearing a dual-core Yunxia robe agreed: "Now the situation on Guangyu Star is deteriorating step by step. Almost one-third of the entire planet has been affected by the disaster. Then take the lead in resisting this disaster." Fellow Daoist Wang Hu, who suffered a great calamity, has disappeared again."
"Oh, if this continues, Guangyu Star will really be doomed."
…
At the same time.
Zhao Kingdom Palace, inside the Golden Light Hall.
At this moment, Emperor Zhao Yuanduan was sitting on the dragon throne.
He rested his chin on his hands and listened helplessly to the memorials presented by the ministers below.
"Your Majesty, this flood has flooded almost all places in the five and thirteen counties of our Zhao Kingdom. Only our Daye City was spared because of its high terrain."
"After the people's food storage was flooded, the weather was freezing and they couldn't find any food in the wild, so they all went south and fled to our Daye City."
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Yuanyou said weakly: "How long will it take for those fleeing people to come to Daye City?"
"The group closest to our Daye City will arrive outside our Daye City in no more than ten days at most." The minister bowed to Zhao Yuan and said: "So, your Majesty, please issue an order quickly and let people prepare for it." Good rice so that we can give porridge to the victims."
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" As soon as the minister finished speaking, he saw another person standing up in the court, bowing and saying: "As the saying goes: people don't worry about scarcity but inequality."
"The number of victims coming to our Daye City right now is probably as high as tens of millions. As we have food in stock in Daye City, we can only save one or two tenths of them at most. And the most taboo thing about this disaster relief is to save one One group of people while abandoning another group of people.”
"Doing so will most likely arouse public anger and ultimately inevitably lead to bloodshed and conflict."
"Fei Yuanqing!" Seeing this man's retort, the minister who first proposed the disaster relief said angrily: "You old man is so shameless! Don't you know the truth that human life is at stake? Although I don't have much food in Daye City , but talking less can save nearly a million people and help them survive until next spring."
"Ha," Fei Yuanqing sneered: "Master Lile, you are speaking lightly. You proposed this disaster relief proposal, and you gained both benefits and fame. But the conflicts and riots caused by the disaster relief, you How are we going to solve it?"
"You say all the good things, but you don't consider the consequences. In my opinion, you are just a person seeking fame! You can't do real things!"
"You!" Lile was furious.
"well"
On the Dragon Throne.
Seeing his two ministers quarreling, Emperor Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
If it were in the past, Zhao Yuan might have scolded these two people with his temper. But since he started practicing spiritual practice after eating the candy man, Zhao Yuan was no longer interested in Jiangshan Sheji.
All he wants now is to attain enlightenment and become an immortal.
Zhao Yuan quietly watched the performances of the two ministers Li Le and Fei Yuanqing.
It wasn't until the two of them criticized each other that their mouths were dry and they were both silent, then Zhao Yuanfang looked towards Prime Minister Bai Haosi, who was the leader of the hundred officials.
"Bai Aiqing, do you have any different views on this disaster relief matter?"
——The relationship between Zhao Yuan and Bai Haosi was not very good at first, but since Zhao Yuan entered the path of spiritual practice and Bai Haosi also got involved with Chengshuo, the two of them no longer wanted to continue fighting for power, so the relationship became warm again.
Nowadays, Zhao Yuan occasionally takes the initiative to ask Prime Minister Bai Haosi for his opinion in the court.
Sometimes, he even fantasized about Bai Haosi suddenly rising up in rebellion, taking away his position and ascending the throne as emperor.
In this way, Zhao Yuan can live happily.
However, Bai Haosi has no such idea at all now. He doesn't even want to be the prime minister.
In the court room.
Seeing the emperor posing the problem to him, Bai Haosi looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and said respectfully: "Everything is entirely up to your Majesty!"
"Alas" Zhao Yuan sighed again.
Just when the officials were at a loss what to do, an official in the team suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, how about we go and beg the old god to try?"
"The old immortal can help people realize their enlightenment instantly and achieve enlightenment immediately. I am afraid that even the famous immortal cultivators cannot do it. So I think that the old immortal must be a person with great abilities and great supernatural powers. Maybe he can solve this problem for us. Trouble this time.”
Is Mr. Zhang a fairy?
Hearing what the official said, Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up and he immediately looked towards Bai Haosi: "Bai Aiqing, I'd like to trouble you to go to the East Market to look for you."
After saying that, Zhao Yuan suddenly felt that this did not show his sincerity, so he quickly changed his words and said: "It's not appropriate for you to go alone. I'd better go there in person, and you can stay with me!"
At the end of his rope, Zhao Yuan took ministers with a certain status who could speak in court and hurried towards the candy man stall where Chengsheng was.
After more than a year of fermentation, almost everyone in Daye City knows about the story of survival.
In the beginning, countless people came to the survival stall every day to watch.
But over time, after people got used to this, they rarely went to the survival stalls and would only take a look when they passed by occasionally.
Some people who have spare money and dream of reaching the sky in one fell swoop will try their luck by buying a living candy bar.
At the East Market.
After some preparations, Zhao Yuan wore a dragon robe and walked on the East Market Street with hundreds of officials.
This situation quickly attracted the attention of the people in the city, so they followed closely. 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 East Market Street where Chengsheng was located.
When faced with Chengshuo, he ignored his status as an emperor and immediately bowed his hand respectfully to Chengshuo.
After a salute, he spoke: "Old Immortal Zhang, there have been floods in various parts of Zhao State recently, and the people have been displaced and are now heading to Daye City."
"Preliminary estimates put the total number of these victims at about tens of millions, but our treasury can only save about one million people at most, and this must be done with careful budgeting."
"I really have no choice, so I brought all the officials to ask the old gods for help, and asked the old gods to help the people of Zhao country overcome this difficulty!"
At the candy man stall.
Facing Zhao Yuan's request, Chengshuo remained silent and concentrated on drawing candy figures on the stall.
——After more than a year of polishing, Chengshuo’s art of painting candy figures is now different from what it was a year ago.
Nowadays, no one needs to get close to the candy figures he draws. Even if you look at them from a distance, you can feel the infinite avenue contained in them.
Some people with high understanding can vaguely see their future destiny.
Seeing that Cheng Sheng was silent, Zhao Yuan and others did not dare to speak any more.
Everyone stared blankly at Cheng Sheng's painting and the unfinished candy figure on the bamboo piece. For a moment, 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 were following the team, those who were closer, were also intoxicated by every move of survival.
Everyone present was immersed in the "Road of Destiny" that Cheng Sheng was comprehending.
——This is the avenue that can only be understood when a monk breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage and is ready to touch a higher realm.
Even monks at the Nascent Soul Stage would be unconsciously intoxicated by this Tao, so why not a group of mortals?
The appointment lasted for about half an hour.
He didn't speak until the candy man in his hand was completed.
This statement woke up the onlookers who were wandering in the sky: "It is not difficult to save those victims, but even with my methods, I can only save the people for a while, but not for the whole life."
As soon as these words came out, all the officials and people looked at Chengsheng.
Emperor Zhao Yuan was even more puzzled: "How can the old immortal say this?"
Chengshuo looked up at the sky and said as if muttering to himself: "Didn't I tell you before? The luck on Guangyu Star is out of balance, so there will be a catastrophe in the future. This flood is nothing more than a disaster. It’s just the beginning.”
Zhao Yuandao: "No matter what happens in the future, I just ask the old god to take action and help my people get through this difficulty first."
"What you are asking for is nothing more than food rations for the victims, right?"
Seeing Zhao Yuan's repeated requests, Chengshuo put his hand on the space gem on his chest.
A few seconds later, a scarlet mass of flesh and blood that seemed to be still crawling appeared in the palm of Chengshu's hand for no apparent reason.
Chengshuo weighed the meat balls in his hand and said to Zhao Yuando: "Take this thing, then prepare a larger jar and put the meat balls in it to soak in water."
"In no more than three days, this meat ball will start to grow wildly, and the more water you add, the faster it will grow."
"Theoretically speaking, as long as you add enough water, it will be no problem to feed tens of millions of victims."
With that said, Chengshuo threw the meat ball in his hand towards Zhao Yuan
The Light Feather Star is occupied by nameless creatures that feed on the 'power of luck', but the meat ball comes from the Xuanwu Star.
From the territory occupied by other nameless creatures.
Therefore, due to the different camps, in the eyes of Emperor Zhao Yuan, the meat ball turned into a strange thing that was dark black and constantly smelled.
Zhao Yuan looked at Chenghuo and said with an ugly expression: "Old god, this black thing you gave me, is it really edible?"
"able."
Chengshuo responded: "I know this thing may look strange or even disgusting in your eyes."
"But where I used to live, this stuff was the food that many people at the bottom relied on for their livelihood."
"The people in my place call this edible food 'Tai Sui Meat'. But as for how 'Tai Sui Meat' comes from, I don't know. After all, this kind of meat can multiply indefinitely as long as water is added. , so it would be difficult for anyone to figure out where the original piece of Tai Sui meat was and how it appeared."
Fine
Since everything has been said, and Zhao Yuan really has nothing to do now, he can only temporarily believe that the strange dark black thing in his hand is 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 earlier, and Li Le, who took the initiative to propose disaster relief suggestions, told him: "I will leave all the responsibility to you for this disaster relief matter."
After saying that, he handed the meat ball in his hand to the hand of the eunuch.
The eunuch solemnly handed the meat ball to Li Le.
"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" After receiving Zhao Yuan's order, the latter hurriedly left the crowd.
I think it was to test the characteristics of the meat balls.
