"What if today is the end?"
“What do I most want to do?”
"Aha?"
The sudden question made Lu Ran stunned for a moment, then he raised his fingers and thought about it, "If I had a home, I think I would choose to go home."
"But do I have a home? I don't have a home, so I can't go home."
That puts a finger down.
"If I have a lover, then I will want to find my lover." When he said this, two vague shadows flashed past Lu Ran's heart.
"But do I have a lover? I don't have a lover either, so I can't look for my lover."
He lowered another finger.
"Then I will pursue my dream." Lu Ran laughed, "My dream when I was a child was to go to the other side of the sea to have a look. But this dream was realized two years ago. There is still no place on the other side of the sea. The sea, there may be a shore on the other side of the sea, but now, I don’t really want to go there.”
"So I don't have a dream. If I don't have a dream, I naturally can't pursue it."
Put down another finger.
"What about some tacky things, like money, food, or this glass of wine?" Lu Ran picked up the flask and put it down again, "No, wine is a good thing, but I don't want to be drunk at the last moment."
"So I can't go drinking. In fact, the world is so big that I actually have nowhere to go."
Put down another finger.
Then Lu Ran looked at Mandao Yuan with a touch of sadness on his face.
"But you still haven't put down one finger." Man Dao Yuan blinked and exhaled a breath of Yuan Yuan's fairy energy.
Lu Ran also blinked, "Yeah, the end is coming, I have to do something, right, so I still keep it, I have to think about it again, and while I'm thinking about it, I want to ask you first , what about you? How are you going to spend it? What are you going to do?"
After exchanging experiences with Zheng Zhi, Mandao Yuan had already thought about this issue.
The answer is self-evident, it just can’t be said.
She chose to come here to drink with Lu Ran.
Madoka Mandao tried her best to appear calm and indifferent, and said with a smile: "I will just let nature take its course. If I am working, then I will continue to work. If I am sleeping, then I will turn over and continue to sleep. If I am If you’re drinking with friends, let’s have another drink.”
After saying that, she picked up the wine bottle and poured two more glasses of wine.
"Ah, no more, these are the last two cups."
Mandao Yuan raised his wine glass with some familiarity and toasted Lu Ran with the last glass.
Not only was he calm and indifferent, but he also spoke his mind.
"But don't you have something you want, someone you love, a place in your dreams, nothing you will regret if you don't do it?"
Lu Ran took the wine glass.
Madoka Mandao shook her head without even thinking about it.
Lu Ran drank the last glass of wine.
Then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Madoka Manshima.
"How can there be an immortal like you in this world? How can there be a person like you? How can there be a person who lives solely for others and not for himself!"
Their eyes met and sparks flew everywhere.
"What do you mean...live for yourself?"
Mandao Yuan's heart suddenly trembled, and then he felt a small boat coming from a distance in his illusory sea.
In this secret room, there is the effect of the Fallen Immortal Tree. It is difficult for me to mobilize myself, let alone being brought in with just one word.
On the boat, there was an extremely handsome young man. His face looked a bit like Lu Ran, but it was not him.
The young man stretched out a hand, his smile was like the warm sun that melts people completely, his voice was like the refreshing breeze, and his two golden pupils were like two bright moons hanging in the sky at the same time.
He said: "Come with me to the outside world and have a look, okay?"
"Go and see the outside world?"
Madoka Mandao murmured this sentence repeatedly, and before she had time to think about it, she reached out her hand to accept the invitation.
He stretched out his hand, but it was too late.
The boy, the boat, and even the phantom sea suddenly became the flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water became a bubble.
Only the young man who was trapped here by himself still stayed in the same place, still looking at her and talking to her.
"What are you talking about, going to see the outside world?"
Madoka Mandao came to his senses, waved his hands, and said that he might be a little drunk and thought of something else.
My heart is full of surprises, and after the surprise, I have a lot of longing.
The word "longing" did not originally appear in my heart.
Who is that boy? Why does he appear? How could anyone in this world be able to come and go freely in the presence of a human being?
In a daze, he heard Lu Ran urging, "Hey, what did you think of? Drink this glass of wine quickly and let me tell you. I thought of it."
He flashed his little finger, which he had yet to put down, "I thought about what I would do if the end came."

The time when the rooster crows, also known as dawn, is the Mao hour.
Ma Xiaoyan finally waited for this moment, stood up calmly, picked up the black iron mask, and put it on his head.
Two feelings.
There was a small numbness, as if there were countless cat tongues on the mask, licking his face.
Then he forgot about himself.
When he walked out of the door, several roosters in the yard saw him first.
To be precise, I saw the black iron mask.
They were tamed immediately and then lined up neatly behind Ma Xiaoyan.
This was the case all along the way. Not only animals, but even people, and even the immortals wandering nearby were also like this. They were immediately tamed and followed obediently behind him.
The small house that Ma Xiaoyan rented was not far from Wanhuan Tower, but in this short half-quarter of an hour's journey, which only took three or five streets, Ma Xiaoyan was already followed by tens of thousands of immortals, people, Dogs, cats and various other spiritual animals.
These immortals, humans or spiritual beings were divided into several columns according to their race, and they were all in uniform, following the owner of the black iron mask. Like a huge parade, they soon surrounded all the streets leading to Wanhuan Tower. It's all watery.
Ma Xiaoyan walked downstairs to Wanhuan and raised his hand gently. The noisy and noisy team suddenly stopped, and then fell into a deathly silence, as if they were collectively frozen there.
For a moment, even the surrounding airflow froze.
From beginning to end, Ma Xiaoyan kept his black iron mask high and never turned his head once.
At this time, he finally raised his head and glanced at the top of Wanhuan Tower, and seemed to be looking at the sky.
Finally, he put his hands behind his back and slowly entered the Wanhuan Building.
Go straight to the ninety-eighth floor.
On the ninety-eighth floor, the Huanjiao group headed by Taoist Heitian all bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.
This is what they were waiting for.
As soon as the black iron mask appeared, it was the Master who came to Wanhuan Tower in person.
"We, all the young disciples of Huanjiao, respectfully welcome the leader of the sect!"
All the immortals shouted in unison, unable to bow down.
