Suburban villages,
"How are things going?"
Liu Xiaojiang soon returned to the village with Feng Baobao. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Erzhuang sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for himself.
"I can't convince him." Seeing Liu Xiaojiang coming back, Erzhuang immediately got up from the sofa, shook his head and said:
"Because of what you have said to him before, he obviously understands how dangerous it is to repair the body furnace... And destroy the population red line. Therefore, even if you have your orders, if you don't stand in front of him, I'm afraid no one can make him do stupid things again."
"Should I say that his trust is my honor?" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head somewhat reluctantly, but when he thought about it carefully, he was not surprised by Ma Xianhong's caution.
After all, after the biyou village incident and several conversations with himself, if Ma Xianhong still hasn't changed as before, the Ma leader is not the so-called honest man, but a really stupid fool in all aspects.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious, as long as you don't overdo it.
"Where is he?"
"Although he is much more cautious than before, he still believes my words. Now... He should have made preparations and is waiting for you behind his earthen house."
"Well, I'll go and find him." Liu Xiaojiang nodded and then turned to the outside.
"The jingling noise just now is not small. Even because of Miss Hu Li's array, it is difficult for ordinary people outside to notice, but other people may have noticed it." Er Zhuang didn't stop Liu Xiaojiang from standing in front of the sofa, but he hurried before Liu Xiaojiang left and asked:
"Can I help you?"
"No need." Liu Xiaojiang stopped and looked back at Erzhuang. "Although it's not because he doesn't trust them, it's best not to let too many people know about it, so as not to accidentally spread out many changes many years later."
"Then... What about Ma Xianhong, who is responsible for casting the self-cultivation furnace?" Er Zhuang nodded to show understanding, but then asked again.
"There's no problem with the old horse." Liu Xiaojiang smiled.
"Although he always contradicts me and even pinches a lot more than before, if he really cares, he... May be the only guy who won't have any selfishness among all of us."
"If he knew about the self-cultivation stove later, in addition to being able to easily destroy the population red line, plus several other unique skills, he could still do things to this extent. Most of them would only be more nervous than us about the consequences of the disclosure of this matter."
"He is honest, but he is not stupid. The reason why an honest man is called an honest man is mainly because his own nature is kind enough. As long as he is not extreme... An intelligent, kind and rare honest man like Lao Ma will never be cheated and will not take the initiative."
"Because, as long as it is not extreme..."
"Old ma can easily see most things. He knows everything, but he won't do anything to deceive people. He has a lot more conscience than us."
"I know Ma Xianhong's character very well, and I know that he is really a good man." Er Zhuang hesitated to show his frown.
"But everything in the world is afraid of an accident. Even if he won't take the initiative to reveal the secret, he will be cheated by someone in the future..."
"Again?" Liu Xiaojiang smiled and shook his head.
"You can think about it carefully. Now who else besides us will cheat him for the self-cultivation stove... You know, even the people in the company only know that the self-cultivation stove will destroy the red line of the population. They don't know anything we do today."
"Others..."
"In addition to a few well-informed ten people, who else knows what happened in biyou village before?"
"Therefore, as long as Lao Ma doesn't say it himself, no one will know what's going on today, and no one will want to appreciate the company's iron fist by breaking the population red line."
"... since you know it all, let it go." Er Zhuang was obviously persuaded by Liu Xiaojiang and gave up the extreme idea of keeping secrets.
"Well, don't worry, I know." Liu Xiaojiang certainly understands Er Zhuang's meaning, but he is not willing to adopt such extreme ideas.
"After all, you can't rely on killing to promote everything."
……
Not far away,
On the field behind the old house,
Originally, my family came from a half mu of land for self-sufficiency. Because Ma Xianhong's lease obviously did not plant any crops, he was even carefully paved with bluestone boards that were not too difficult to deal with, and set up a warehouse completely composed of wood and iron sheets.
Squeak
Liu Xiaojiang followed his perception and came to the warehouse door. Pushing the door into the interior, he saw Ma Xianhong sitting on the ground, surrounded by more than a dozen dolls with terrible makeup and dull eyes.
"Are you ready?"
"The self-cultivation stove is very dangerous, and it is even more taboo to destroy the population red line..." Ma Xianhong slowly got up from the ground and walked to Liu Xiaojiang with his hands in his arms, saying:
"You told me all this before. Now why do you suddenly want me to recast the self-cultivation stove?"
"I'm not using it to turn ordinary people into aliens." Liu Xiaojiang ignored Ma Xianhong's doubts, but took out two phagocytes from his arms as he spoke.
"Is the appliance used to carry the furnace core ready?"
Say,
He manipulated one of the sachets in his hand, knocked out the two sheep he had bought in the village but had not been slaughtered. He put them on the ground directly through the ability of magic tools, and tied them with ropes in the warehouse before they woke up.
"It's always been made by my sister, but if it's just a vessel for carrying the core device... It's not difficult." Ma Xianhong looked at Liu Xiaojiang's behavior suspiciously, then took over the spherical metal appliance in Ruhua's hand and handed it to Liu Xiaojiang in front of him.
"Iron has the best effect of transmitting energy, and its firmness is acceptable. The material of the appliance is only thickened and shaped wrought iron."
"It can drive the effect of the self-cultivation stove." Liu Xiaojiang took the iron ball handed by Ma Xianhong, then looked at each other strangely and said:
"Old ma, I have inevitably seen your experience in recent years when restoring your memory. Do you know... What is the core device of the self-cultivation stove?"
"I don't know." Ma Xianhong shook his head truthfully and said, "my sister never let me open the equipment carrying the core, and... You know, it was difficult for me to resist my sister's requirements at that time."
"In addition, just before it got better, the self-cultivation stove that I gradually improved was destroyed by you before you could use and observe it."
"What do you think it is?" Liu Xiaojiang stared into Ma Xianhong's eyes as if Ma Xianhong must have noticed something in his tone.
"I don't know..."
"You don't know, but you can see that it... Is a living creature."
“…………”
"In other words." Liu Xiaojiang smiled at Ma Xianhong and said:
"The reason why the self-cultivation stove can be driven is that it doesn't consume physical energy such as electricity at all. If you insist... It is more similar to a kind of bioenergy."
"After all, what it consumes is life, but it is not the life of the stove holder, but a living creature 'artificially made' with unprecedented vitality to some extent. It should not be... It should be said that it is a biological operating organ, because it makes the self-cultivation stove a living creature."
"What are you going to do?" Ma Xianhong frowned.
"Let's go." Liu Xiaojiang smiled and said, "you can let the flowers around you do it. I am personally responsible for making the core of the self-cultivation stove. You are responsible for the overall construction of the self-cultivation stove. The faster, the better."
With that,
Ignoring Ma Xianhong's doubt and confusion, he turned and walked to the two sheep tied to the ground.
next,
Ma Xianhong witnessed a strange scene that he would never forget.
I see,
Liu Xiaojiang stood in front of two live sheep who had just awakened and seemed to feel something bleating. A large amount of strange black smoke suddenly began to spread around him, and gradually gathered into three big black hands in the air.
The next second,
The two big black hands directly grabbed the two sheep, and just touched, took the lives of the two lambs in a short time.
Liu Xiaojiang's move not only made them completely quiet, but also made them dry quickly on the ground, looking like two balloons that had just been let out.
The blood gas taken from the two lambs also gradually flows slowly along the two big black hands, and finally converges into a mass in the palm of the other big black hand... A mass of organs that seem to be beating alive!
last,
This mass of internal organs, which beat orderly like the heart, was carefully put into the appliance under the control of Liu Xiaojiang.
Click!
After a crisp sound, the spherical metal appliance closes instantly, and because of the thickness of the iron wall of the appliance, anyone holding it in his hand... Can hardly feel its beating in it!
"This... This is the core of the stove?" Ma Xianhong witnessed the manufacturing process of the core device of the self-cultivation furnace with his own eyes. Even if he didn't feel nausea, he inevitably had some resistance.
"How long can two sheep live together? How can their vitality support the self-cultivation stove..."
"The self-cultivation furnace converts vitality into energy for its own operation..." Liu Xiaojiang turned to Ma Xianhong with a spherical instrument and said:
"Or..."
"It is only the vitality consumed directly through this form. Do you know what this kind of thing actually represents?"
"What?" Ma Xianhong obviously did not see any specific doorway from it.
"When a person is born, he is born with one energy, which can transform all parts and bones..... Do you understand what I say?" Liu Xiaojiang had no choice but to explain.
"Innate energy?!" When Ma Xianhong heard this, he naturally understood Liu Xiaojiang's meaning, but his heart was greatly shaken:
"What is consumed by the operation of this self-cultivation furnace, is actually the innate energy of the living body itself?"
"That's right." Liu Xiaojiang nodded.
"It's not accurate to say vitality, but it's not wrong, because the innate energy represents the root of life and is closely related to the energy used by our practitioners."
"Every human body has a innate energy. People who are very sensitive to this part of energy can often 'habitually' simulate this energy, and finally wake up to become the so-called congenital alien outside."
"People who are sensitive to this part of energy, but not enough to become congenital, but need to detect its existence through static work, and even call part of it to run around the body to get energy... Are the acquired alien."
"Energy practitioners strengthen the innate energy through energy practice. Their vitality is often reflected not only in their life span, but also in the level of physique and strength..."
"However, they didn't wake up and become a congenital alien, nor did they perceive the innate energy through cultivation, and finally become ordinary people who become an acquired alien. Can you say that there is no innate energy in their bodies?"
Speaking of which,
He shook his head and said, "of course not, because everyone is the same, not only the so-called human beings, but also other creatures in the world."
"We are born with innate energy, because it can even be called the origin of everything to some extent. The only difference is that human beings have more powerful innate energy than other creatures in the world."
"After all, if you want to maintain this figure, you have to have a life span of about 100 years and its own good strength. It is obviously not possible without a strong innate energy as the basis..."
"Other creatures in the world..."
"Those who live longer than humans are often inferior to humans in terms of size, strength and so on."
"Those who live shorter than human beings are often superior to human beings in one way..."
"In contrast, between humans..."
"If the cultivation has not reached a certain degree, the strength of the innate energy in most different human bodies is also reflected in the level of life and strength, but the essence of life has not changed to any extent."
"The innate energy in two sheep... Is worth a human life?" Ma Xianhong tried to ask.
Liu Xiaojiang looked down at the ball instrument in his hand, "if only in terms of life expectancy, two sheep are really not as good as one human life, but if they are excluded from their advantages as such creatures, the gap... Will be small if there is no innate energy in the body that turns into four limbs and hundreds of bones."
"However, as the energy for running the self-cultivation stove once, even if they are really not worth a human life... It is enough."
Say,
He motioned to Ma Xianhong in front of his eyes and said:
"If it weren't for our goal this time, we would put Feng Baobao into the furnace. I'm afraid one sheep would be enough to make the self-cultivation furnace run dozens of times."
"Old ma, I've solved your doubts. It's time for you to cast the frame of the self-cultivation stove. It's best to deal with the problems of Feng Baobao quickly, so that you and I won't stay here all the time..... Long dreams at night."
