Everyone nodded in realization. "Sure enough, it's a good idea to harvest leeks."
"Bring us along, bring us along." Nanna and Long 'er's eyes lit up. They wanted to participate in such a fun thing.
Daji said, "There's no need to rush. The leeks are there anyway. We'll participate to ensure that they're harvested perfectly."
Pei An nodded in agreement. "Yes, yes. We'll listen to Goddess Daji's instructions."
He was overjoyed. His conjecture was approved by Goddess Daji. This was equivalent to gaining face in front of the expert.
Meanwhile, Li Nianfan walked over with a bunch of Chinese chives. He even had a small basket in his hand. The basket was filled with green Chinese chives.
He smiled and said, "Old Pei, since you like leeks, I've harvested more for you to bring back."
Pei An was moved to tears. He said, "Thank you, Young Master Li. Thank you so much!"
Li Nianfan smiled. "It's nothing. Let me tell you. Leeks have to be harvested harshly. The harsher you cut them, the faster they grow."
Pei An said immediately, "Thank you for your advice. Young Master Li is right."
The others took note of it. In short, when faced with leeks, harvesting them was the end of it.
The hot pot meal was finished in a lively atmosphere. This was Li Nianfan's first hot pot meal since it snowed this year. It was a memorable meal. After all, it was a hot pot meal with immortals, phoenixes, and monsters. It was a lively meal that transcended species.
Pei An wiped his mouth and said emotionally, "It's so delicious. Thank you so much for your hospitality today, Young Master Li."
Gu Xirou was deeply in love with hot pot. He said, "I've lived for so many years and I've never thought that I could eat it this way. Young Master Li, can I eat it this way when I go back?"
"Hahaha, Goddess Gu, you're asking too much. This hot pot is just a way to eat it. You can eat it yourself when you go back." Li Nianfan couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly said, "Oh right, if you like hot pot, I'll bring you some hot pot base. It'll be convenient for you to eat it."
"Young Master Li, this … this is too embarrassing."
Pei An and the other two suddenly felt a bit uneasy. The food was naturally good, but they were really embarrassed to accept it. Every flower and grass in Young Master Li's place were treasures, not to mention that they had tasted this hot pot. This meal was far more precious than their own bitter cultivation. After all, many insights couldn't be obtained through bitter cultivation.
"You're treating me like an outsider. It's not something precious. Take it."
Li Nianfan waved his hand. He looked at Gu Changqing and asked curiously, "Oh right, Old Gu, do you know how the war is at the front line? I went out recently and haven't paid attention to it for a long time."
"The war is much more stable. Ever since the Southern Barbarians' attack was blocked, the Xia Dynasty has been pursuing the victory. There are continuous reports of victory. Now, they have entered the stage of counterattack. I heard that for some reason, Tu Jiu's physique suddenly deteriorated. He seems to be seriously ill. Morale is even lower."
Gu Changqing paused and said, "The Demons are being restrained by the Buddhists. Their movements seem to be much quieter recently."
Li Nianfan was surprised. "Did the Buddhists develop so quickly?"
He couldn't help but be shocked. After all, Buddhism was spread by the Yuetu. The Yuetu came into contact with Buddhism from him. He even gave her a Diamond Sutra. How did it develop so quickly?
Was the vitality of Buddhism so strong?
Li Nianfan suddenly thought of another point. Logically speaking, since this was a world of myths and legends, there should be Buddhism and Tathagata. How did it disappear? Could it be that Buddhism was destroyed after the Journey to the West? That was a little scary.
Gu Changqing smiled and said, "Young Master Li, the expansion of Buddhism is somewhat unexpected. Recently, there are rumors among the people that the Underworld has appeared. Many ghosts and monsters have wandered into the mortal world and caused a lot of disasters. Buddhist cultivators have the Light of Buddha, which has a strong restraining effect on ghosts and monsters. Buddhist cultivators roam the mortal world and can easily recruit fated people. “
Li Nianfan nodded. He was curious. How did the Yuetu cultivate the Light of Buddha? Could the Diamond Sutra he gave her really have the effect of exorcising evil? It didn't seem impossible.
After all, the Yuetu was an immortal. Her starting point was very high. It was reasonable for her to use the Buddhist Sutra to do some tricks.
But no matter what, the Diamond Sutra was a Buddhist Sutra. Giving it to her was like returning it to its rightful owner.
Pei An also said, "Young Master Li, Buddhism has an immortal in charge after all. Its foundation directly surpasses that of ordinary sects. Now it is growing stronger day by day. I heard that they are already preparing for the establishment ceremony."
He still had one more thing to say. This Buddhism was backed by an expert and had a treasure of destiny. He and the others would definitely take care of it. It was normal for it to take off in a short period of time.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid the momentum will not be small."
Pei An nodded. "Yes, maybe a lot of immortals will be invited."
"That's another prosperous event."
Everyone chatted for a while more. Pei An and the other two stood up and said goodbye. Under Li Nianfan's enthusiasm, they finally shamelessly accepted the chives and base ingredients.
Holding it in his hand, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds. How was this chives and base ingredients? This was clearly the expert's kindness to him!
Pei An and the other two held back their tears that were about to overflow. They said respectfully, "Young Master Li, we have really disturbed you today. We will take our leave now."
"Okay, goodbye."
…
Walking out of the courtyard house, the three finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Their tears were like a waterfall, forming waves and flowing down their cheeks. Because they couldn't control themselves, even their shoulders were trembling.
Pei An was so touched that his voice was hoarse. "Sob sob sob, the expert is so nice to us. He really sees us as people!"
Gu Xirou also said, "From what we've heard of so many big shots, which one of them isn't high and mighty? They don't have any friends and live a lonely life. The reason is that they have too high of a standard. The expert's realm is so much higher than those so-called big shots. He's willing to become a mortal and treat everyone and everything with a normal heart. He completely sees us as friends! It's just that … our status is so low. What do we do to deserve this? "
Gu Changqing said, "Although the expert treats us well, we have to be clear about our own position. We are just pawns. The value of our existence is to solve the expert's problems!"
Pei An immediately praised, "Well said, you are indeed my grand disciple! This is the awareness we should have! "
However, Gu Changqing suddenly looked at his grandmaster and then looked at the chives in his hand. He had a strange expression. "Grandmaster, are you eating this chive to … Hmm, strengthen your body?"
Pei An's old face was embarrassed. He coughed softly and said, "You don't understand your grandmaster's pain!"
He said unnaturally, "Cultivators of my generation all have the heart of Dao. The longer we live, the stronger our cultivation, the stronger our heart of Dao. Gradually, we reach the state of Heart as still as water, and many things become less important to us. This chive just happened to help me find the feeling I had before."
Gu Changqing said, "Grandmaster, you don't have to explain. I understand."
Pei An said indignantly, "You don't understand sh * t! I've lived for more than ten thousand years. My hair and beard are all white. Think about it … How much pain have I suffered? "
"Shut up, you two old bastards!" Gu Xirou looked disdainfully at Pei An and said, "Let's go back to the Immortal World first. We'll check out the growth of our chives."
Pei An's expression was extremely calm. He said, "You guys go first. Xiao Zhu and I have some conflicts again. I have to go back and comfort her."
…
After sending Pei An and the other two away, Li Nianfan's side was a little free. Naturally, it was impossible for him to wash the dishes. He did not hand it over to Xiao Bai either. Instead, he gave it all to Long'er and Nanna.
When it came to children, it was better to discipline them more so that they could calm down.
"That's enough. Don't the two of you know Dharma? It's just washing the dishes. How much effort can it take?"
Li Nianfan looked at their pitiful faces and could not help but laugh. Then, he said, "Hurry up. After you're done washing, I'll bring you to the Fallen Town for a tour."
He wondered if there were any changes in the Fallen Town after traveling for so long.
Nanna and Long'er were instantly energized. They were full of energy. "Really? That's great! Let's go now. "
Half an hour later, everyone packed up and headed to the Fallen Town.
As Li Nianfan now knew how to ride a cloud, their journey was much faster than usual. However, they did not attract too much attention. They landed at a place outside the Fallen Town and headed towards the Fallen Town.
As soon as they entered the Fallen Town, Li Nianfan could not help but raise his eyebrows. He was surprised.
Compared to the bustling Fallen Town in the past, it was obviously much quieter today. There were only a few people left on the streets. It could be said that it was empty.
Nanna could not help but ask, "What's going on? My mother, she usually likes to wander around here the most. "
The little red bird on Li Nianfan's shoulder raised its head slightly. Then, it spread its wings and flew into the sky. After flying one round casually, it landed back on the ground.
Huo Feng said calmly, "There are a lot of people gathered in the center of the town."
Li Nianfan was instantly interested. "Oh, so they've all gone to the center of the town. Let's go and join in the fun."
Everyone could not help but quicken their pace.
As they got closer to the center of the town, there were indeed more people. Moreover, there were noises coming from the crowd. It was extremely lively.
"Young Master Li, you're here too." Just when they arrived at the periphery of the crowd, they heard a familiar voice. They did not expect it to be Boss Yu.
Little Fishy sat on Boss Yu's shoulder and looked at the crowd curiously. When she saw Li Nianfan, she said softly, "Hello, brothers and sisters."
Li Nianfan smiled and nodded. He passed her an orange. "Hmm, Little Fishy, you're so obedient. Do you want an orange?"
Little Fishy immediately said, "Thank you, brother."
Boss Yu said, "Young Master Li, did you really go out of town? I was worried about you for a while. You're finally back safe and sound. "
Li Nianfan smiled and shook his head. "Hahaha, what danger could I be in? Thank you for your concern."
Boss Yu could not help but say, "Young Master Li, ghosts and monsters have been causing a lot of trouble recently. Anyway, it's good that you're back safe and sound."
In the cultivation world, mortals had to be extra careful when they went out.
"Boss Yu, what are you doing?" Li Nianfan asked the question that was on his mind.
"This matter is quite mysterious." Boss Fish kept him in suspense, and then said, "I heard that recently, some great scholars with literary talent, and some well-known virtuous people have been receiving messages from the ghosts and deities of the underworld in their dreams. Some people even received messages from their own ancestors, telling them to build a City God Temple and worship it, so that in the future, they would be able to live in peace and contentment."
"Messages from the City God in their dreams?"
Li Nianfan looked as if he was deep in thought. The Underworld's actions were really fast. It had already started.
Boss Fish nodded and said, "Yes, even the Holy Emperor of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty is here. He is preparing to set up the Shing Wong Temple here. However, it seems like they are discussing something. Everyone is here to join in the fun. Let's burn some incense for the Shing Wong and pay our respects."
"I see." Li Nianfan nodded.
He looked at the crowd in front of him. Naturally, he wanted to go over and take a look. He was hesitating whether to fly over on a cloud. However, he was worried that it would be too shocking and make him seem like he was not keeping a low profile.
"Young Master Li!"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the crowd. It was the stall owner who was selling breakfast.
He squeezed out of the crowd with difficulty and shouted, "Everyone, make way, make way. Make way for Young Master Li! Don't you need someone to write the words? In the entire Fallen Town, no one is more suitable than Young Master Li in terms of virtue and talent. "
As he said that, he opened the way for Li Nianfan with Boss Yu. "Young Master Li, hurry up. I heard that you have not been around recently. If not, someone would have gone to look for you."
In the crowd, most of the people heard that it was Young Master Li and instantly made way for him.
"If Young Master Li is around, he would be the most suitable candidate."
"Hahaha, what a coincidence. Just nice that Young Master Li is back. You don't have to think about it anymore."
"Let me tell you, Young Master Li's literary talent is definitely the best. With him writing the words, the City God would definitely be happy."
"Hurry up, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and make way!"
Although Li Nianfan did not stay in the Fallen Town for long, he still had a lot of prestige. After all, with his talent, even if he revealed a little bit of it, it would be a shocking thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
As he walked forward, Li Nianfan gradually saw a temple in front of him. It looked like an original house that had been modified. It was simple and majestic. There were 19 steps at the bottom and it was solemn and majestic.
At the top of the temple, there was a plaque that was black in color. On it, there were three big golden words, City God Temple.
At the bottom of the temple, Li Nianfan saw many familiar faces.
Emperor Luo, Luo Shiyu, Zhou Yunwu and Meng Junliang. It could be said that all the famous people in the Fallen Town had come in contact with were there.
When they saw Li Nianfan, their hearts instantly tightened and their faces became serious. Then, they quickly made way for the crowd and came down to welcome him personally. They walked quickly.
