Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1464 Majia Village

Ma Liang only hated corrupt officials, and was very friendly to his fellow clansmen and villagers. Even though he knew that the fact that he possessed the magic pen was leaked by a few big mouths in the village, he did not feel any resentment.

The King of Qin fulfilled his promise to Deng Chanyu. Even though Ma Liang no longer had the magic pen and no longer displayed any supernatural powers, he still arranged for the family as agreed.

Ma Liang liked painting, so he was sent to study under a contemporary painting master, and all expenses were paid by the Qin Palace.

He wanted his village to become prosperous and strong, so the King of Qin selected several people with high IQs to be officials. In fact, it doesn’t matter if their IQs are not high. It’s not my dragon clan’s kingdom that is being destroyed. What should I worry about?

In this feudal society, technology may not necessarily make you rich, but becoming an official will definitely make you rich.

It is no exaggeration to say in Majia Village that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

Clan consciousness is strong these days. If you become an official and don't seek benefits for your clan members or provide some protection, you won't be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb after your death.

Life and death are the two most important things, and no one can avoid them.

Including Ma Wencai's father, their official status is more useful to Majia Village than the amulets of gods.

Majia Village is no longer the poor and backward state it once was. The village entrance has been built magnificently, and every household lives in a brick and tile house. The villagers don't have to worry about silk and satin, but at least it is much better than before when the whole family had to share one piece of clothing.

The Stone Monkey and Zhu Yingtai looked at each other, still wondering who was Ma Wencai?
You can't just shout at the entrance of the village, right?
The stone monkey didn't want to bother thinking about it. You point out Ma Wencai to me, and I will beat him up. If I can't marry you, then it's done. As for how to find this person, that's your business.

Zhu Yingtai could only go and inquire about information. In those days, the villages were very closed to each other, and the sudden appearance of an outsider would be very conspicuous.

Fortunately, Majia Village has produced several high-ranking officials in succession, and outsiders would occasionally come in. In addition, due to ancestor worship, there were even more people coming and going. If it were an ordinary day, a stranger like her would not be able to enter the village at all.

Zhu Yingtai's disguise skills were quite impressive, as she was able to deceive Liang Shanbo and her classmates in the academy.

The stone monkey watched from the side and saw Zhu Yingtai quickly apply some powder on her face, making it higher on one side and sunken on the other, making her eyebrows heavier and her nose bridge higher.

In less than an incense stick of time, he watched Zhu Yingtai turn into Liang Shanbo.

The stone monkey was shocked and asked, "Could this be the immortal's transformation technique?"

Zhu Yingtai found it both funny and sad, but she was wearing makeup, so her smile was a little stiff: "It's just a little makeup technique. I have never seen a fairy, and I don't know any magic."

She asked, "Monkey King, are you looking for a god?"

She had wanted to ask this question on the way, but before she could open her mouth, the stone monkey led the horse and galloped towards her.

You're just talking nonsense. What's the point of asking this? Now I finally have the chance.

The stone monkey nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with anticipation: "That's right, that's right! I left the Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain to seek the immortals and ask for the way."

Zhu Yingtai was very generous. She looked towards the direction of Majia Village and said, "Legend has it that the Ma family's child prodigy was favored by the immortals, and that's why he learned such exquisite immortal magic. If you are lucky, you may be able to see that child prodigy again soon."

Many people knew about Ma Liang's story, so it was no secret. In this day and age, the barrier between immortals and mortals was not that great, and people were full of expectations for immortals to descend to the earth. They all felt that immortals could change their destiny. It was probably similar to the feeling of buying lottery tickets in later generations, with little investment and huge returns.

The stone monkey secretly took note of this incident and prepared to see what the genius of this child prodigy was.

Zhu Yingtai put on her makeup and went to the village to inquire about Ma Wencai's news. The stone monkey was waiting at the village entrance.

On the other side, Liang Shanbo returned to the academy to continue studying. Looking at the empty room, he thought of the three years he had spent with his brother Yingtai. He couldn't calm down for a long time. He couldn't concentrate on the books he usually liked to read today.

Sometimes I think of my dear brother Yingtai, and sometimes I think of my ninth sister whom I have never met.

If a modern person found out that his girlfriend and roommate were about 70% similar, and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face, he would probably go from being terrified to being terrified.

Liang Shanbo did not have such an idea, all he had was longing and expectation.

After tossing and turning on the couch, he finally made up his mind to ask for leave! He wanted to go to Zhujiazhuang to visit his brother Yingtai and to see what his ninth sister looked like.

Liang Shanbo was definitely a handsome man. In those days, it was not safe for a handsome man to be alone outside. Man on man had always been a popular topic among the nobles, and the affair between King Wei and Lord Longyang had never been concealed.

Liang Shanbo had no such worries. He was just afraid that his life would be in danger if he went on the road alone.

He asked many classmates, Zhang San asked Li Si, Li Si asked Wang Wu, and finally he made an agreement with a scholar from another academy, and the two of them traveled together.

"Brother Liang!"

"Brother Liu!"

The two did not know each other before, so they asked a few classmates to help introduce them. They both thought the other was an honest person and had a good impression of each other.

Brother Liu’s name is Liu Yi. His academic performance is average. He plans to go home to rest and come back to the academy to study next year.

The two of them can walk together for a long distance and have someone to look after them along the way.

Above Majia Village.

The Immortal of the South Pole was still looking at the village.

Half of the Heavenly Dao Pen has already been in Deng Chanyu's hands, but he didn't know this information. There was no notification flooding the world channel in the prehistoric world, telling him that "Deng Chanyu has obtained the Heavenly Dao Pen!"

Through Ma Liang, he had recognized the identity of the King of Qin and was certain that the gaze that came from the depths of the East China Sea that day came from Zulong.

He believed that half of the Heavenly Dao Pen was still in Zulong's hands, so the question was, how could he get the pen back?

Zulong severely injured Huanglong with one move, leaving him stunned. After all, Nanji Xianweng was a quasi-sage and the eldest disciple of a saint. He calmed down and saw through the truth of the situation. He was still fooled. If he had persisted at that time, the Heavenly Dao Pen would never have been lost.

He planned to start with Ma Liang, but he needed to consider how to do it.

Three days passed and the ancestor worship ceremony in Majia Village officially began.

Ma Liang returned to the small mountain village where he had lived for more than ten years. Looking at the smiles of the villagers, he felt that he had done the right thing. However, compared to the hustle and bustle, he preferred to be alone and paint something he liked.

Zhu Yingtai was very good at gathering intelligence. Not only did she find Ma Wencai, she also pointed out Ma Liang's direction to the stone monkey.

Ma Liang was drawing on the ground, the stone monkey was observing him from afar, the Immortal of the South Pole was observing the village, and Patriarch Bodhi was observing everything from a high place.
