"You are Cao Bao and Xiao Shen?"
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned and looked at the two of them carefully.
These two people were the direct cause of Zhao Gongming's death. It could be said that they were born to suppress Zhao Gongming.
During the Investiture of the Gods, Zhao Gongming had 24 Calming Pearls in his hand. It could be said that he could do anything under the Saints. He beat Randeng until he could not raise his head. However, on the way to kill Randeng, he passed by Wuyi Mountain and bumped into Cao Bao and Xiao Shen playing chess.
The two of them were just Itinerant Immortals, so their cultivation was not worth mentioning. However, they had the Treasurefall Coin, which was a Virtuous Treasure. Due to a strange combination of factors, they managed to knock down Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls and Dragon-binding Ropes, causing Zhao Gongming to lose two of his greatest treasures for no reason. He was instantly at a disadvantage.
However, he did not expect that the two 'small characters' who played the most important role in the myths and legends were actually in front of him.
Cao Bao and Xiao Shen were stared at by Li Nianfan and immediately felt a chill down their spines. They said uneasily, "Saint, do you know us?"
"I've only heard of it. Although I'm a Merit Saint, I'm just a mortal. You don't have to be so nervous." Li Nianfan could not help but smile. Then, he said, "You seem to be Zhao Gongming's subordinates."
In the myths and legends, Cao Bao and Xiao Shen both entered the Investiture of the Gods. Interestingly, they became Zhao Gongming's subordinates. It should be to repay the karma of the Investiture of the Gods.
Xiao Shen was the Heavenly Lord Zhaobao, and Cao Bao was the Heavenly Lord Zhen Zhen. They were in charge of receiving good fortune and merchants. They mainly managed the money of mortals. In the Heavenly Palace, they were considered a small official.
Xiao Shen said respectfully, "Lord Saint, we are the Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar's Lord … Zhao Gongming's subordinates."
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "What about Lord Xuantan?"
Cao Bao said, "Lord Xuantan was a disciple of a Saint back then, and his cultivation was much stronger than ours. He did not return in the great calamity."
Li Nianfan nodded. He could not help but have some doubts about the great calamity back then.
So many experts had died, and even the Saints could not escape. Order was chaotic... This was obviously much more terrifying than any previous calamity.
There was something fishy about this.
Li Nianfan collected his thoughts and asked, "Were you managing the wealth of the mortal world just now?"
"Replying to the sage, that's right." Cao Bao said, "If you harm others for money, you will be recorded in the negative karma. Of course, those who distribute money to atone for their sins can also offset part of the negative karma. At the same time, we will also control the fortune and keep it on the right track."
Xiao Shen said nervously, "Actually, we were just taking a break from our busy schedule. Unless the karma of an individual is too special, we don't need to care too much about it. Please forgive us, Lord Sage."
Okay, so it's during work hours … Watching videos?
Li Nianfan laughed out loud. "Alright, don't be nervous. I'm not your boss. I'm just looking around."
The God of Fortune's main job was actually to prevent the world's fortune from being in chaos. Wealth was the source of chaos. Once the fortune was in chaos, the mortal world would definitely be in chaos. But logically speaking … the job was still very easy.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Work hard, and I'll give you your salary at the end of the year."
After Li Nianfan left, Cao Bao and Xiao Shen finally let out a long sigh of relief. They silently wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads. Was this the aura of a big shot? It was too scary. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
But immediately after, Cao Bao was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "Xiao Shen, just now … Do you know what the sage meant by salary?"
Xiao Shen thought about it carefully, "Pay a salary? Why does it sound like a salary in the mortal world?"
"Salary?" Cao Bao frowned slightly, and then his eyes suddenly shone. He said excitedly in a trembling voice, "With the sage's identity, the salary he mentioned, no, it can't be referring to merit … merit, right?"
"Sss — Now that you mention it, it really does seem like it."
Xiao Shen's eyes widened, and he excitedly began to pace in the main hall. "We can be considered to be stabilizing the fortune of the mortal world. In any case, we have some merit. It's probably eighty percent! Work hard, we have to work hard, and strive to get more merit at the end of the year! "
"What merit, the sage said, it's called salary!"
"Yes, yes, yes, for salary, work hard, fight hard!"
… …
Walking out of the God of Wealth Palace, Li Nianfan strolled around the other immortal palaces, and gradually understood the work of immortals.
The existence of the Heavenly Palace was mainly to prevent chaos in the Three Realms. The various immortals didn't care about all the big and small matters. If they wanted to, they could, but it depended on their mood.
Their main responsibility was to make timely adjustments when things went in the wrong direction, to prevent a disaster from happening. Under normal circumstances, they were still very idle. But once an uncontrollable situation occurred, those who needed to act would act, and those who needed to send out troops would send out troops.
At the same time, in the Moon Elder Palace.
A young girl was holding a pile of red wool in her hands. Her eyes were wide open, and she was unraveling it one by one.
This pile of red threads had more than ten ends, and it was simply like a fried dough twist.
The young girl's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like she was about to collapse.
"Dead knot, dead knot, dead knot again! What's going on? "
She pouted and wanted to cry, but no tears came out. She sighed and said, "After so many years, what has this world gone through? Are emotions so complicated? I beg you, let me reseal it. "
After unraveling it for a while, not only did it not straighten it out, it turned from a fried dough twist into a ball …
"He loves her, she loves him, he loves her and her … Ah — Let me die!"
The young girl threw the ball away and completely broke down. She turned to look at the old man sitting at the door not far away.
The old man's hair was white, and he had very little hair, so little that he was about to go bald. He wore a red robe and was scratching his head with his hand. He was frowning as he stared blankly at a book in his hand. He looked like he was in a dilemma.
"Master —"
The young girl looked at the old man pitifully and said sadly, "I failed …"
The old man turned to look at the ball in the young girl's hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He waved his hand, and a pair of golden scissors fell in front of the young girl. "It's hopeless, cut it."
"Alright!"
The young girl excitedly picked up the scissors. Ka ka ka, she was in a good mood, and suddenly felt that the world was peaceful.
But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, two of the mixed feelings clay figurines had two red lines darting out of them, and then they were quickly tied together.
"After cutting the Gordian knot, he confirmed his true love so quickly?" The young girl's eyes lit up, but when her gaze fell on the two clay figurines, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth.
She composed herself, picked up one of the clay figurines, and touched the lump on the figurine to confirm. Then, she picked up the other figurine and touched it. There were still lumps …
"These two … actually have lumps!"
The young girl covered her mouth tightly, and her gaze was complicated. Disbelief mixed with fear, but more than that, there was … a faint excitement.
"It's changed, this world has changed too much."
Her voice trembled, as if it was caused by excitement. "Master, what should we do in this situation?"
"Do you even need to ask? Cut it."
"Cut? Cut where? "
"Cut the thread, where else do you want to cut?"
"Oh …" The young girl seemed a little disappointed.
The old man scratched his head, and suddenly realized that a few more strands of hair had fallen. His eyes instantly turned red, and he immediately said angrily, "Hurry up and cut it. After cutting it, follow me to the Underworld!"
The young girl was stunned. "Master, why are we going to the Underworld?"
"To find Ox-Head and Horse-Face to reason! They're too much of a bully! They're deliberately trying to make me bald! "
As he spoke, he brought the young girl and ran towards the door. But just as he reached the door, his footsteps paused, and he bumped into Li Nianfan.
"Lord … Lord Sage!"
The old man's pupils shrank, and then he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. "Little God Yue Lao greets Lord Sage."
Xiao Luo followed suit and bowed. "Xiao Luo greets Lord Sage."
Li Nianfan returned the bow, and smiled. "Yue Lao, you're in such a hurry, where are you going?"
"Sigh, Lord Sage, you came at the right time. Can you be the judge? Did the Underworld do something wrong?"
Yue Lao was filled with resentment and was extremely distressed. He handed the booklet in his hand to Li Nianfan and complained, "How can it be so easy to set up a Love Tribulation? They casually wrote the words' Love Tribulation 'and directly kicked the problem to me. What can I do?"
Li Nianfan opened the booklet and saw a paragraph written on it: After nine lifetimes of Love Tribulation, although each time there were many difficulties, the path of love was bumpy, and the obstacles were like a natural moat, the ending was perfect.
Hmm?
Why did these words sound familiar?
Was it Yun Yiyi and Jiese the monk?
"Look, look." Yue Lao was heartbroken and said with grief and indignation, "The obstacles are like a natural moat, and the ending is actually perfect. Isn't this contradictory? The key is … I want to prepare nine lifetimes for such a Love Tribulation! I don't even have enough hair. "
"That … I'm sorry." Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and said apologetically, "If nothing goes wrong, these two people are my friends. I asked the Underworld to help take care of them."
Yue Lao instantly turned into a statue. He was dumbfounded and did not move.
His mouth was gasping for cold air. His teeth hurt, his heart was cold, and his head was about to explode.
What did I just say? What am I doing? Am I going to die?
"Then what?"
Yue Lao's voice was filled with a sobbing tone. He was so scared that he almost burst into tears. He said with a trembling voice, "I suddenly feel that this paragraph is well written, too well written! As Yue Lao, I have always been looking for this kind of challenge. Isn't it a Love Tribulation? This is my forte. Such challenging content, interesting, too interesting. I am already starting to get excited. I will think about it carefully now. Lord Sage, don't worry, this matter will be guaranteed to be done properly. "
Li Nianfan could not help but laugh. "Yue Lao, you don't have to do this. I am not someone who forces others against their will."
"Force others against their will?" Yue Lao's lips were trembling. His little heart was trembling. He quickly said, "How can that be? It's not difficult at all. I am just too happy. I am too willing to do it from the bottom of my heart. "
Li Nianfan said, "Yue Lao, regarding this Love Tribulation, I have some ideas. You can refer to them."
Yue Lao said without hesitation, "Lord Sage, please speak. This god will definitely listen with respectful attention."
"Master, let's invite Lord Sage to come in and have a seat first."
At the side, Xiao Luo reminded in a low voice. She could not help but sneak a glance at Li Nianfan. Seeing that he had a friendly smile on his face, she did not know why her master was so afraid of him. He was too handsome.
"Right, right, right. Look at my brain." Yue Lao suddenly came to a realization and hurriedly nodded. "Lord Sage, please, please."
"Then I will have to trouble you."
Li Nianfan stepped into Yue Lao's palace. His eyes could not help but cast a glance at the pile of clay figurines and red strings. Some thoughts appeared in his mind, but he suppressed them for the time being.
Xiao Luo had already trotted over and made a cup of tea for Li Nianfan.
Li Nianfan said, "Yue Lao, the Love Tribulation does require technical content. I have a few short stories about the twists and turns of love here. I hope they can help you."
Yue Lao said sincerely, "Lord Sage, please teach me."
His hair really could not take it anymore.
"The first story, 'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai' …"
Immediately, Li Nianfan told Yue Lao about 'Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai', 'Xu Xian and the White Lady', 'Romance of the Western Chamber', and other famous love stories from his previous life.
They were basically short stories. They were not complicated to tell, but the love and hate stories were very accurate.
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Luo, who was at the side, did not stop crying. As for Yue Lao … the smile on his face never disappeared.
He even held a brush in his hand and took notes. He said excitedly, "Good, these stories are too good! Xiao Luo, don't just cry. Write it down, quickly write it down. These are all precious materials. In the future, they can be used in practice and let more people pursue love. "
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt a little strange. 'In the future … these sad and beautiful love stories won't be born because of me and then be passed down, right?'
"Lord Sage, you're really a great talent. These stories are all deeply moving. They're enough to be passed down as good stories. You've helped the Yue Lao Palace a lot."
Yue Lao's words were not flattering. They were genuine admiration and gratitude from the bottom of his heart. With these templates, it would be much easier in the future.
The expert was too amazing. Even the love stories were so deeply drawn. It was simply too godly. Was there any problem in the world that could stop him?
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble Yue Lao to worry about my friend's matter."
Yue Lao's expression turned serious. He immediately promised, "Lord Sage, don't worry. Leave this to me. I'll personally arrange it and give them an unforgettable experience."
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the battle.
Li Nianfan did not idle around. Naturally, he was prepared to go and see the grand scene of the "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" subduing the demons.
On this day, there were a total of 3,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals gathered at the entrance of the South-Heaven Gate.
Although some of the cultivators had yet to reach Immortal Ascension in order to make up the number of people, they still couldn't gather 3,000 people in three days.
However … the Jade Emperor's wave of operations once again opened Li Nianfan's eyes.
Out of these three thousand people, close to two thousand of them were created by him using the Scattering Beans Soldiers technique.
That was very impressive.
The leader, Daoist Tai Hua, was the incarnation of the Jade Emperor. More than half of the Heavenly Soldiers behind him were Jade Emperor's soldiers. This event was basically equivalent to the Jade Emperor putting on a one-man show.
In order to protect the face of the Heavenly Palace, he had put in a lot of effort.
