Beautiful mayor's wife

"With this map...you can find the... road to the Heavenly Palace..." Ma Xiaoyao read the words on the jade piece while comparing the ancient books.

"Gone?"

"That's a lot of words."

"Isn't someone playing a prank?"

"It doesn't look like it." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "First of all, this piece of jade is written in ancient characters, and secondly, this piece of jade is hidden in that mysterious stone. It turns out that the glowing stone is not ordinary. Therefore, this piece of jade should not be an ordinary product... Not to mention the words and maps on it, the material alone is very precious, and it can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver at least if it is taken out at auction."

"So, do you think it's true?" Ouyang Zilan asked.

"It should be true." Ma Xiaoyao just intuitively believed that what was recorded on the jade tablet was true.

"Since you think it's true, let's go find it and find out what this so-called Tiangong is." Ouyang Zilan suggested.

"I want to look for it, but the map on the jade piece is incomplete... I can't find it." Ma Xiaoyao said regretfully: "This Tiangong is very likely to be a place where treasures are hidden, but the map is incomplete... oh... ..."

Ouyang Zilan frowned and thought for a moment: "We can find other jade pieces? As long as we complete the map, can't we go to Tiangong?"

"It's easier said than done." Ma Xiaoyao smiled wryly, "Do you know where the other pieces of jade are?"

"This... we can inquire slowly. As long as we are willing to search with our hearts, we should be rewarded." Ouyang Zilan said.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded noncommittally: "Okay, you can look for it if you want, I hope we will be lucky and find other jade pieces."

"I'll go back and ask my grandfather. He has lived a long life and has seen many things. Maybe he knows where this Tiangong is." Ouyang Zilan said.

"Okay, go back and ask." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.

"I'll take the jade piece and ancient books first, and I'll come to you when I have news." Ouyang Zilan picked up the jade piece and ancient books and left in a hurry.

Ma Xiaoyao sat alone on a chair, drinking tea, thinking secretly: "The map of Tiangong... Tiangong... ancient texts... According to legend, it was created by immortals... Tiangong? Immortals? Could it be that there are really gods in this world?" Ma Xiaoyao Xiaoyao pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out why.

Forget it, don’t think about it, I can’t figure it out anyway, let’s go to dinner, and slowly ponder this Tiangong map when I have time.

……

Early the next morning, Ma Xiaoyao was pulled out of bed by Ouyang Zilan.

"What are you doing? I haven't woken up yet." Ma Xiaoyao reached out and rubbed his swollen eyes. He has a problem. As long as he doesn't wake up, his eyes will be sore and swollen, which is very uncomfortable.

"There is a major discovery!" Ouyang Zilan's expression was serious.

"What important discovery?" Ma Xiaoyao asked casually.

"It's the Tiangong map."

"Eh? Map of Tiangong? What did you find?"

"Didn't I go home yesterday and ask my grandpa? I originally wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect my grandpa to know something..."

"What? Your grandpa knows about Tiangong? Tell me quickly, what's going on!" Ma Xiaoyao suddenly regained his energy.

Ouyang Zilan took a deep breath, and then told the story. Yesterday she went home and found her grandfather Ouyang Wuwei directly, and then handed the jade piece and the ancient book to Ouyang Wuwei to watch. After reading the content recorded on the jade piece, Ouyang Wuwei , directly frowned, and remained silent for a long time. Ouyang Zilan asked what was wrong, and Ouyang Wuwei told Ouyang Zilan that he seemed to have heard of Tiangong before... It’s just that the interval was too long. Can't remember where I heard it again.

As soon as she heard that there was a door, Ouyang Zilan suddenly regained her spirits, and kept urging Ouyang Wuwei to think about it quickly, and she must think about it.

After thinking hard for a long time, Ouyang Wuwei finally remembered that decades ago, he heard a friend mention Tiangong. At that time, his friend said that Tiangong is a very mysterious place, and there are immortals living in it. At that time, Ouyang Wuwei regarded this as a myth Listening to the story, I didn't take it to heart at all, but after decades, Ouyang Zilan mentioned the matter of Tiangong again...and even brought a map of Tiangong, which surprised Ouyang Wuwei. Could it be that Tiangong really exists?

"What? Immortals live in the Heavenly Palace?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened.

Ouyang Zilan nodded solemnly: "That's what my grandfather said, but he just heard what his friends said, and he doesn't know if it's true."

"Who is his friend?" Ma Xiaoyao hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, my grandfather has already gone to find his friend, and there should be news soon."

"There are immortals living in the Heavenly Palace... This is simply too... shocking... How can there be immortals in this world."

"I don't believe that there are immortals in the world, but how can the map of Tiangong explain it?"

"...No matter what, I don't believe in the existence of immortals."

"When my grandfather finds his friend, he will know the truth of the matter."

……

Ma Xiaoyao nodded, but did not speak.

Ouyang Zilan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Xiaoyao, if there really are immortals in the world... what would you do?"

"Eh?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Why do you ask such a question?"

"I'm just... a little curious. It is said that immortals have boundless magic power. Not only can they fly to the sky and escape from the earth, but they can also live the same life as the heavens and the earth. If one day I meet a real immortal, I will definitely worship him as my teacher and let him pass on the power of immortality." With my supreme spell, I can also fly into the sky and escape from the ground, and I can also live forever." Ouyang Zilan's eyes were shining.

Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Stop daydreaming, there can be no immortals in this world."

"Actually, I've been thinking about one more question."

"what is the problem?"

"Pangu, Nuwa, Jade Emperor... Are these characters really illusory?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I suspect that Pan Gu and others really exist."

"You're not crazy, are you? They're just mythical characters, fabricated by people's imagination. How could they really exist?"

"What evidence do you have to prove that they are not found? Just because you have never seen them, you think they don't exist?"

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that they are real?" Ma Xiaoyao asked back.

Ouyang Zilan shook her head: "I can't produce evidence, but you can't produce evidence either. Since we can't produce evidence, we can't jump to conclusions."

"You..." Ma Xiaoyao really didn't know what to say. He found that since the appearance of the Tiangong map, Ouyang Zilan became nervous, and seemed to be a little possessed. It seems that the attraction of immortals to Ouyang Zilan Super big.

"Xiaoyao, don't you want to live forever?" Ouyang Zilan asked.

"Of course I want to live forever, but it's impossible." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "As long as you are human, you will die one day."

"An ordinary person can live to be a hundred years old, but an ordinary warrior can live to be 150 years old, and an advanced warrior can even live to be more than 200 years old. According to books, there is an emperor in the secret realm who lived a full three hundred years. Have you seen that? How big is the difference between an ordinary person and a warrior?" Ouyang Zilan said in a deep voice.

Ma Xiaoyao did not refute Ouyang Zilan's point of view this time, he nodded: "Practicing martial arts can indeed strengthen the body and increase life expectancy."

"You are also a warrior, and you should also know that there is no end to martial arts." Ouyang Zilan stared at Ma Xiaoyao with piercing eyes: "It is said that warriors are divided into ten levels, and a warrior at level ten is the apex. This is complete nonsense. Level ten Warriors are not at the peak, and they can continue to improve their strength." Speaking of this, Ouyang Zilan paused for a while: "Tenth-level warriors are already terrifying. If you continue to improve your strength, what realm will you reach? Is it really possible to be like How about immortals flying into the sky and escaping from the earth? How about living as long as the heavens and the earth? These questions are worthy of our deep thinking."

"How do you know that a tenth-level warrior is not the pinnacle?" Ma Xiaoyao asked with a solemn expression. Since he came to the secret realm, he has learned that warriors are divided into ten levels. Ouyang Zilan said that the tenth-level warrior is not the apex, but there are still realms above, which surprised Ma Xiaoyao.

"My grandfather told me."

"Your grandfather? How would he know this? If I'm not mistaken, your grandfather is only a fifth-level warrior, right? He hasn't reached the tenth-level warrior himself, so how would he know that there are still realms above?"

"My grandfather also heard from others."

"Who?"

"My grandpa's grandpa."

"Your grandpa's grandpa? Why am I a little confused?"

"Let me tell you this, hundreds of years ago, our family had a tenth-level martial artist, who almost became the emperor at that time."

"What?" Ma Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Your family has produced a tenth-level warrior?"

Ouyang Zilan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, that's what my grandfather said. Later, I asked other people, and they all said the same thing."

"I really didn't expect that your family has a tenth-level warrior. It's not easy, it's not easy." Ma Xiaoyao sighed.

"My ancestor was a rare genius who had already cultivated to a tenth-level martial artist at a young age. At that time, he also thought that a tenth-level warrior should be the pinnacle of his life, but when he really became a tenth-level warrior, he realized that there is still a lot to do. There is room for improvement, but it is very difficult to continue to improve the strength. My ancestor had already touched a little bit of the door. When he was about to retreat, he was plotted against by the enemy, and finally died of hatred. However, my ancestor stayed behind before he died. In the next diary, it will be recorded that a tenth-level martial artist is not the pinnacle of life."

"Is that diary still there?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

Ouyang Zilan shook her head: "There was a fire in the manor decades ago, and the log and many ancient books were burned down. This is a great loss for our family, and it is a pity to mention it now."
