Li Nianfan kept the map and smiled, "Nanna, let's go. Let's go on an impromptu trip."
Nannan's eyes lit up and she said, "Okay, brother."
The two of them did not have much to pack. They packed lightly and soon left the courtyard house.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Xiao Bai, if anyone comes to look for me, just tell them that I'm out for a sightseeing tour."
Xiao Bai sent the two of them to the door in a gentlemanly manner, "Got it, my honorable master."
Nanna asked curiously, "Brother, where are we going?"
"According to the map, I'm going to Gaolao village first. After crossing the quicksand river, we'll go to Womanland. As for the last stop … it's naturally the Fifth Village Temple!"
Li Nianfan had already made a plan in his heart. He continued, "But before that, let's go to the Fallen Town first."
He definitely had to go to the Fifth Village Temple. After all, it was directly related to his lifespan. Although he knew that there was no hope, Li Nianfan still did not want to give up. He wanted to make it the last stop. He also wanted to leave some hope for himself.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Nanna did not have any objections. She nodded. As long as they were going out to play, it did not matter where they went.
The two of them walked and soon entered the Fallen Town.
Walking along the streets of the town, there were many tourists. There were also many familiar faces. They all greeted Li Nianfan.
"Young Master Li."
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the crowd. It was the fish boss who ran over.
Li Nianfan smiled, "Fish boss, you didn't set up your stall today?"
The fish boss smiled embarrassedly, "I've been fishing less recently. I also closed my stall earlier. It's up to fate."
Li Nianfan said in surprise, "Wow, you're so open-minded now?"
"Hahaha, it's all Little Yu 'er's fault. She just came back not long ago and brought me a lot of things. She's so considerate and told me not to work so hard in the future. This girl is still so young, but she's already started to care about my affairs after learning some skills."
Boss Yu laughed, and his tone was filled with pride. He then said in an extremely courteous manner, "Young Master Li, it's all thanks to you. I've heard from Little Yu 'er that this is all thanks to you and Miss Nanna for taking care of me."
Although he was only a mortal, he had been doing business for so many years. Naturally, he had seen a lot and was not stupid.
Little Fishy had just joined the sect. Even if her aptitude was very high, it was impossible for her to have the privilege of returning in such a short period of time. Furthermore, she had even brought back a pile of valuable items. The sect was treating her too well.
And according to Little Yu 'er, Nanna's cultivation was very high. The sect was no longer just taking care of her, they were trying to curry favor with her.
Sure enough, he had long known that Young Master Li was not an ordinary person.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "So it's because your child has made a name for herself. This is a good thing. Congratulations, Boss Yu."
Boss Yu did not allow any explanation. He took out two large carps from the bucket in his hand and said, "Young Master Li, I left two large carps behind when I closed up my stall today. Since you came across them, you have to accept them no matter what."
"You deliberately left these for your home, right?" Li Nianfan smiled and shook his head. "I can't accept them."
"Hey, I'm just a fisherman. I have plenty of fish at home. Young Master Li, I'm really grateful to you for Little Yu 'er's matter. Please accept them." Boss Yu's eyes were filled with eagerness.
Li Nianfan did not refuse and raised his hand to accept them.
Seeing Li Nianfan accept them, Boss Yu's face immediately lit up with joy and gratitude. It was obvious that Li Nianfan's identity was extremely extraordinary. However, he was still willing to accept his fish as usual, without the slightest bit of disdain.
He still treated him as a friend!
Young Master Li was still that Young Master Li.
After bidding farewell to Boss Yu, Li Nianfan looked at the two fish in his hand and could not help but shrug. Great, the journey had just begun and he already had two more fish …
He continued to walk on the streets with Nanna.
Not long after, they arrived at the East Gate.
The locust tree was growing very well. It was already more than three meters tall and had luxuriant branches and leaves. It was enough to cast a huge shade on the ground.
Seeing Li Nianfan come over, the locust tree immediately swayed in the wind. The tree trunk slowly protruded and turned into the face of an old man. Immediately after, the old man seemed to grow out of the tree trunk and slowly appeared.
During this time, the old locust tree used a camouflage technique to conceal it so that the surrounding people did not notice anything strange.
The old locust tree's human form was short and small. It quickly walked over and bowed respectfully. "This little god pays his respects to Lord Saint."
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Old locust tree, congratulations on becoming a Mountain God."
Thinking back, when he heard that the old locust tree was struck by lightning and collapsed, it did not hurt a single person and quickly sprouted new seedlings, he sensed that the old locust tree was not ordinary.
He did not expect that it would become a Mountain God in the blink of an eye as he expected. Although it was the most basic god at the time, it was still a Deity Position. It was always convenient to make friends.
The old locust tree immediately said humbly, "Haha, this little god's cultivation is shallow. This is all thanks to Young Master Li."
He knew very well that this Deity Position was given to him by the Heavenly Palace because of Li Nianfan's face. Otherwise, he would at most be a small mountain spirit.
Although the Heavenly Palace was short of people before, it was impossible for them to be so hungry that they would not pick anyone who was ugly.
"Cultivation is only secondary. If it's not enough, you can still cultivate. However, your heart is precious."
Li Nianfan smiled and continued, "You've always been in the Fallen Town. I've come to see you a few times, but I haven't had the chance to have a proper drink. Today, I'm here to congratulate you. No matter what, we should have a drink."
As he spoke, Li Nianfan picked up the Purple Gold Gourd at his waist and poured a glass of wine for the old locust tree. "Here, a toast to you."
The old locust tree's old face trembled. He was a little dazed. He tried his best to suppress his wildly beating heart and slowly raised his hand to take the wine glass.
He carefully held the wine cup, his hands trembling slightly.
The quality of the wine was far beyond his imagination. Moreover, he knew more than others because of Li Nianfan. Naturally, he knew that this wine was something that even the Jade Emperor and the Empress of the West treasured.
However, the expert just casually poured a glass for him.
If it weren't for the people of the Heavenly Palace repeatedly stressing to him about his mentality, he probably would have collapsed at this moment.
How could he maintain his sanity after receiving such treatment?
Too generous. The expert was too generous!
He was so generous that he could not maintain his composure.
It was like a rich man casually tipping you a hundred million dollars while you were walking on the streets. Just thinking about it was unbelievable.
He took a deep breath. He did not dare to delay. To cover up his loss of composure, he quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Although it was just wine, after drinking it, his cheeks flushed red. His forehead was boiling hot. It was as if smoke was going to come out of it.
He hurriedly channeled his magic power, and almost used all of his strength to forcefully suppress the reaction after drinking.
He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Good … good wine."
Li Nianfan then said, "Oh right, old locust tree, I have a question to ask."
The old locust tree immediately became serious and said, "Lord Saint, please ask away. I will tell you everything I know!"
Li Nianfan asked, "When I arrive at a place, how should I summon you Mountain Gods and Earth Gods?"
He had forgotten to ask the Jade Emperor this question. He only remembered it when he left.
He did not know if it was like what was described in Journey to the West. All he had to do was to step on the ground and shout 'Earth God'.
Since he was going on a long journey, he naturally had to ask.
"Oh, that's easy."
The old locust tree smiled and said, "Lord Saint, you have the power of merit. As the Heavenly Court's Merit Saint, all you have to do is step on the ground and shout 'Earth God'. Naturally, there will be a response."
Li Nianfan smiled. "That's good. That's convenient."
After saying goodbye to the old locust tree, Li Nianfan walked out of the East Gate. He followed the map's guidance and headed north.
As for the old locust tree, it heaved a sigh of relief. Its body trembled, and its face turned red. Green smoke rose from the top of its head.
In order to suppress the phenomenon after drinking, it did not want to expose itself in front of the expert. It was suffocating. It almost exploded.
However, even if it really suffocated to death, it was willing to do it!
He hurriedly jogged and directly sank into the trunk. In an instant, the entire trunk of the old locust tree became somewhat red. At the same time, the roots and branches that were rooted in the soil began to slowly grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
…
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
In a forest, Li Nianfan and Nanna walked at a leisurely pace. It was as leisurely as if it was their own garden.
This trip was meant to be a vacation. They were not in a hurry. Naturally, their first choice was to walk. Moreover … one of them had a high cultivation level, and the other was a Deluxe Merit Saint. There was basically no danger.
On the contrary, along the way, Nanna had harmed many people.
Outside, Nanna finally let Li Nianfan see the strange side of her, Gu Ling.
In just seven days, they had encountered six robberies and seven attacks by demons. All of this was attributed to Nanna's operation. It was an eye-opener for Li Nianfan.
He saw that Nannan was wearing gold and silver, completely dressed like a nouveau riche. Her little face was very innocent, just short of writing the words harmless to humans and animals. She looked like a well-behaved and obedient little girl.
In this wilderness, it was difficult not to arouse the evil intentions of others.
Imagine this —
Whether it was a robber or a demon, just a moment ago, they were excitedly thinking that they had defeated Nanna and Li Nianfan. The next moment, they could only watch helplessly as the little sheep flew away on a cloud. What kind of feeling was that?
Oh my God.
Their mentality collapsed!
As for Nanna, she seemed to be enjoying this moment …
She liked to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. Could this girl be the template of a main character?
Li Nianfan complained in his heart. However, he had to admit that the other party's confused and desperate expression at that moment was indeed very funny. It added a lot of fun to the two of them on their journey …
Nanna was still somewhat dissatisfied. She sighed and said, "Sigh, what a pity. If only I could be as beautiful as Sister Daji. It would probably be more fun."
"Da da da."
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves slowly came from the forest …
