"The Gaojia Village?"
Li Nianfan nodded. He knew that was the current name of the Gaojia Village.
After all, it was not easy for the Gaojia Village to still exist after so many years. It was normal for it to change its name.
He thought for a moment and said, "Why? Did 'Journey to the West' make the Gaojia Village famous?"
"Exactly."
Ye Huaian nodded. "I don't know what kind of immortal wrote 'Journey to the West'. After all, it's a story about immortals. Not to mention mortals, even many immortal cultivators would study it. After many people investigated it and combined it with the description and terrain in the book, they finally came to the conclusion that Gao Jia Village is very likely Gao Lao Village!"
"You can do that?"
Li Nianfan was stunned. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not expect that a story he casually told would cause such a big commotion. It even caused cultivators to study it …
He had already confirmed from the map he got from the Heavenly Palace that the Gaojia Village was the Gaojia Village. He just did not expect that … the Immortal Cultivation World could do this.
Ye Huaian said, "After all, it has something to do with ancient times. Many people came because of it."
Li Nianfan was amused. "So, 'Journey to the West' created a tourist attraction?"
"Tourist attraction?" Ye Huaian was slightly stunned. He did not understand.
Li Nianfan explained, "It's a place for sightseeing."
"It's very appropriate."
Ye Huaian nodded, then said mysteriously, "But according to the news I received, the Gaojia Village might really be the Gaojia Village."
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Oh? What news? "
"Hehe, I'll give you this news for free. I won't charge you."
Ye Huai 'an laughed and continued, "For so many years, the Gaojia Village has always been peaceful. It has rarely been attacked by demons, and it has survived several disasters. Most importantly, everyone has died of old age, and the entire Gaojia Village is extremely wealthy. Isn't that very special?"
A healthy body, a worry-free life, and a long life. These were the most ideal pursuits of mortals. To be able to keep a place like this for such a long time, the Old Gao Village was simply a paradise. It was indeed very strange, especially in the world of immortal cultivation.
Li Nianfan said, "But it could also be related to the local environment. It's just a coincidence."
Ye Huaian shrugged. "Who knows? But this is a relic of a living immortal. Whether it's real or not, it will attract a lot of people."
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.
Could it be that Zhu Bajie had really returned to the Gao Lao Village after obtaining the scriptures and had cast some kind of immortal spell to protect this place?
This was very likely.
It was just that he did not know where he had gone.
Buddhism was destroyed by the Devil God. Sun Wukong turned into a Sarira and perished together with Wutian. Tang Sanzang and the others were all Buddhists. Their fates would not be too good. Li Nianfan did not want to think about it.
He had seen the Jade Emperor and Erlang Shen, but he had not seen Tang Sanzang and his three disciples, who had left the deepest impression on him. Li Nianfan could not help but sigh.
What a pity.
Then he would just go along the tourist attractions of their Journey to the West to pay his respects.
Li Nianfan let out a long breath and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.
The caravan continued to move forward.
Along the way, other than Ye Huaian who came to chat from time to time, they also encountered some trouble. However, they were not powerful characters. Ye Huaian and the others had some cultivation and could easily deal with them.
This made Li Nianfan and Nanna much more relaxed. This was the benefit of spending money. Although many trivial matters were small, it was still very annoying to deal with them one after another. It was much more comfortable to leave it to others and enjoy life.
Just like that, they continued to travel for three days.
On this day, the group arrived at a canyon that looked extremely steep.
The surrounding trees were clearly sparse, and the soil on the ground had also turned from soft to hard. There were gravel scattered all over the place. The caravan stopped here.
Li Nianfan noticed that Ye Huaian's caravan was not the only one who stopped here. Several other caravans also stopped.
Ye Huaian, who was in front, turned his head and said, "Boss, we can only go to this canyon at night. Let's rest here."
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Why is that?"
"Hehe, this canyon is called Black Wind Canyon. It is occupied by a withered tree spirit that has cultivated for nearly a thousand years. If we go there during the day, we will definitely die."
Ye Huaian settled the horses down and said, "However, this tree spirit will stop at night. As long as we don't wake it up, it will be fine. Boss, you don't have to worry. I have come to Black Wind Canyon more than ten times. I am a professional."
Nanna asked expectantly, "How powerful is that tree spirit?"
"I heard that it is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment!"
Ye Huaian's face was full of amazement, and his tone was heavy. "It is too powerful. It is the tyrant here! No one dares to provoke it. "
Nanna immediately became dispirited and waved her hand. "It is only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. What are we waiting for? Let's go."
"Aiyo, little girl, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know what the late stage of Foundation Establishment represents?"
Ye Huaian was amused. He pointed at himself and said, "You saw my heroic demeanor on the way here, right? Isn't it very powerful? That tree spirit is even more powerful than me! "
Nanna calmly looked at Ye Huaian. Just as she was about to speak, Li Nianfan patted her head.
He said, "My sister is not sensible. Don't blame her. Let's wait until night."
"Boss, there are some things I wanted to say to you on the way here. I am straightforward, but it is for your own good."
Ye Huaian paused and said, "You siblings are used to living like princes. You don't know the dangers of the outside world. You show off your wealth and don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. To put it bluntly, people like you won't live for more than three days in the outside world!"
Li Nianfan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I understand. It is fortunate that I met Brother Ye."
"No need to be polite. I am only doing this because I am paid to."
Ye Huaian waved his hand and said with a big tone, "I will let this tree spirit be arrogant for a while. After a while, when I have a breakthrough in my cultivation, I will come and take its life!"
Li Nianfan asked, "Do you have a grudge against this tree spirit?"
Ye Huaian smiled coldly. "Vanquishing demons and devils is the duty of us cultivators. Moreover, this tree demon has taken countless lives here. Naturally, it deserves to be killed!"
Li Nianfan nodded. "You are ambitious."
"Of course, Boss. Have you heard of the Heavenly Palace? It is right above us."
Ye Huaian raised his head, his eyes shining. "I heard that the Heavenly Palace has been recruiting immortals recently. What a pity. If I was born a few hundred years earlier, I would definitely be participating in such a grand event! However, I will enter the Heavenly Palace sooner or later. At the very least, I will be a heavenly general! "
Li Nianfan smiled and said nothing.
Ye Huaian patted his chest and said flatteringly, "Boss, you are so rich. Why don't you invest in me? You only need to give me a few dozen gold coins. When I become rich in the future, I will definitely repay you a hundred times, a thousand times."
Li Nianfan pretended not to hear. He closed his eyes and lay down on the goods.
"Hey, you missed a good opportunity. You will regret it in the future!" Ye Huaian curled his lips and left dejectedly.
Time passed and soon, night fell.
All the teams were preparing to enter the canyon. After all, this was a test of life and death for everyone present.
Ye Huaian took out a stack of talismans and surrounded the carriage. He said that it could conceal the carriage's aura. The other caravans did the same. However, there was no communication between the caravans. Everyone was used to it and minded their own business.
The sky was getting darker. Some caravans could not wait any longer and began to enter the canyon.
After a while, Ye Huaian also drove the carriage into the canyon.
He did not forget to remind him seriously, "Boss, when we enter the canyon, don't talk. Especially, take care of your sister."
Li Nianfan could not help but laugh. "Okay."
Nannan, on the other hand, rolled her eyes.
If it were not for her brother telling her to keep a low profile, she would have taken off on a cloud and fiercely shocked Ye Huaian.
"Da da da."
Under the night sky, only the faint sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling over the ground could be heard. Everyone carefully suppressed their breathing.
The canyon was very long and they did not dare to speed up. It would take them nearly two hours to cross.
Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. Unknowingly, they had arrived at the heart of the canyon.
At this moment, following a "bang", the ground seemed to shake.
Following that, a black shadow flashed past. Under the night sky, there was a soft "puchi" sound.
Not far ahead, one of the caravans had his chest pierced by a withered branch that suddenly shot out from the ground. He was hanging in the air.
The other caravans' faces changed drastically. Magic power surged in their bodies. Just as they were about to retaliate, withered branches shot out from the ground and pierced their chests one by one.
In the blink of an eye, the caravans were completely annihilated.
The withered branches twisted and wrapped around the caravans.
"We can't be that unlucky!"
Ye Huaian was stunned. He had already begun to silently control the carriage to turn around slowly. "That caravan is definitely a fool. They must have brought something that attracted the withered tree spirit!"
He cursed in his heart. He was about to cry.
Stupid teammates were harming others!
All the caravans tacitly did not make a sound. They braced themselves and silently left as if nothing had happened.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Many withered branches shot out from the ground again. These withered branches twisted in the night sky like terrifying pythons. Then, they pounced on the caravans with bared fangs and brandished claws.
"Oh my god, run! Go! "
Ye Huaian jumped up in fright and shouted. He began to run wildly with all his might.
"Boss, we can't afford to be distracted. Hold on tight."
He hurriedly cast a spell. The talismans around the caravans suddenly lit up. With the help of the wind, the carriage's speed increased by 30%.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Withered branches swam in the sky, on the ground, and in the surrounding rock walls. In an instant, the entire canyon seemed to have turned into a sea of withered branches. Several branches were everywhere. The soil was pushed away and gravel flew everywhere.
None of the caravans could escape unscathed. All of them were surging with magic power. Light shone in all directions. Under the night sky, they were constantly glowing.
"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky!"
Ye Huaian looked at the scene around him. His scalp was numb and his heart was trembling. He raised his hand again and wiped it around the caravans. Instantly, the surrounding talismans emitted flames and began to burn fiercely. The withered branches around them were forced to retreat.
Ye Huaian's eyes were red. They were burning money!
The caravans ran wildly in the fire.
"Whoosh!"
However, at this moment, the rock wall at the side suddenly exploded. Several huge withered branches turned into black shadows and lashed at the caravans like long whips!
"Block it with all your might!"
The twelve people in Ye Huaian's caravans cast their spells together. They did not dare to hold back. They gathered all their strength and cast a shield in the direction of the withered branches.
"Boom!"
The withered branches hit the shield. It was like a palm hitting a bubble. They shattered it easily. Then, the remaining force did not diminish and continued to lash at the caravans.
Demonic wind blew and flashed with a terrifying black light.
"It's over. We're dead meat."
Everyone was in despair. They had no choice but to wait for death.
Nanna sat calmly beside Li Nianfan. She pursed her lips and slowly extended a finger.
In the next moment, a monstrous aura descended. It was like a god descending to the mortal world. It was extremely terrifying.
The withered branches that were originally in a frenzy seemed to have been immobilized. They froze in the air and did not dare to move.
In the sky, the shadow of a huge finger slowly appeared. Then, like a meteorite falling, it crushed somewhere in the Black Wind Canyon!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
In the darkness, there was a scream of terror. Countless withered branches were retracted, forming one giant net after another in an attempt to block that finger.
However, no matter how many withered branches there were, it was useless. Even if there were a hundred thousand, a million, or countless branches, it was useless.
That finger was too strong. It pushed through everything as if it was crushing an ant. Suddenly, it landed on the Black Wind Canyon!
