Li Nianfan looked at the crowd and couldn't help but shake his head. This was the power of knowledge.
After all, the mastermind had suffered a loss due to his lack of knowledge.
He didn't need to think to know that someone most likely wanted to frame the bull demon and put the crime of murder on the bull demon, but … they were one step behind.
The bull and the cow were silly and couldn't tell the difference.
Gao Yue was a little excited and said, "Ah Niu, you really didn't kill my father?"
Ah Niu?
Li Nianfan's mouth twitched. This name was really appropriate.
Was this the transvestite version of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?
Ah Niu was wronged and said, "Yue 'er, I definitely didn't!"
Seeing that Gao Yue was about to walk towards Ah Niu, the elegant young man's eyes flashed. He grabbed Gao Yue and said, "Yue 'er, this matter is still very strange. The bull demon still can't be trusted!"
After a pause, he continued, "Master Gao's wound was caused by the bull's horn. There is no doubt about this. Even if the bull demon didn't do it personally, it might have been another bull demon. In short, there are still many suspicions!"
Hearing this, Gao Yue's face changed again. She was somewhat at a loss.
Li Nianfan looked at the elegant young man, but his eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
As a modern person who had been baptized by various melodramatic plots in his previous life, his brain quickly sorted out some things. Although it was just a guess, it should be close to the mark.
After all, this was only the world of immortal cultivation. Strength was the most important, and the skills of using methods were much lower. It wasn't that Li Nianfan was arrogant, but some schemes in his eyes were as simple as children playing house.
This bull demon wasn't a big shot. The only thing that could be coveted was probably the Miss of the Gao family, Gao Yue, who was in love with it.
From the beginning to the end, the elegant young man was obviously splashing dirty water on the bull demon and couldn't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible. He was always by Gao Yue's side, and his purpose was obvious.
Was this a bitter drama of a triangular palace fight?
"Miss, the bull demon is a demon after all. It's better to be careful."
The old housekeeper next to Gao Yue spoke. Then he looked at Li Nianfan and Nanna and reminded with a smile, "Miss, we have to thank this young master and young lady. Otherwise, we would have wrongly killed a good person."
"Right, right."
Gao Yue nodded and walked over. With red eyes, she said, "I am Gao Yue. Greetings, Young Master Li. Thank you, Young Master Li, for speaking up for me. Otherwise, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
Li Nianfan smiled and cupped his hands. "Miss Gao, nice to meet you. It's nothing much."
Gao Yue asked again, "Young Master Li looks unfamiliar. He's not from Gao Village, is he?"
Li Nianfan said, "I'm from the Fallen Town. I've been sightseeing, so I came here because of your reputation."
Gao Yue immediately understood and said, "Young Master Li, if you don't mind, you can stay with the Gao family for a few days."
Li Nianfan did not stand on ceremony. "That's great. Thank you for your trouble."
"Fellow Daoist, you are truly experienced and knowledgeable. You are observant to the smallest detail. To think that there is a theory of male and female ox horns. This is truly an eye-opener."
The elegant young man walked over and smiled like a gentleman. "My name is Sun Yun, a disciple of Clear Spirit Mountain. May I ask where your master is from?"
Li Nianfan felt that he had seen through everything. He was about to say a few perfunctory words to Sun Yun when he heard Nanna speak first. "My brother and I do not belong to any sect. Because of a chance encounter, we obtained a super great opportunity. That's how we were able to cultivate to this stage."
It's here, it's here again.
The time to test humanity has arrived.
Li Nianfan was silent.
Sun Yun's eyes lit up involuntarily, but it quickly faded and turned into a cold light. He sneered in his heart.
What a foolish child. How dare he ruin my plans. He's courting death!
He smiled and said, "I see. Fellow Daoist Li, you must stay with the Gao family. We can also thank you properly!"
Then, Li Nianfan stayed under the Gao family's arrangement. The ox demon was imprisoned.
For the next three days, the Gao family was hung with white silk. They were holding a funeral for Old Master Gao, and at the same time, they were looking for the real murderer.
Through the information gathered in these three days, Li Nianfan was basically certain that this Old Master Gao's family was the family that Zhu Bajie carried his wife on his back.
Good heavens, it's been so many years, and it hasn't declined. It's really incredible.
Naturally, Li Nianfan wanted to properly appreciate the elegance of this place. His first stop … was the back field!
However, when he arrived at the back field, Li Nianfan discovered that there were quite a few people in the field. And if he wasn't wrong, they all seemed to have cultivation.
All kinds of farming tools were scattered on the ground.
"Found it!"
At this moment, an excited voice sounded. A cultivator covered in mud excitedly raised the … rake in his hand!
All the magic power in his body surged and poured into the rake. "Nine-toothed rake, quickly show your spirit. It's urgent!"
"Bang!"
The rake shattered without any suspense. Then, someone came forward to take care of the record. "One tael of silver each. You can't go back on your word."
"Heh, idiot!"
On the other side, a cultivator mocked mercilessly.
Then, his gaze suddenly focused on a stick leaning against the wall. "Nine-toothed rake, don't think that I can't recognize you just because you turned into a stick. Hurry up and show yourself!"
In addition to these, there were also people digging three feet into the ground, desperately digging. Their whole body had sunk deep into the ground, and they could only see the mud coming out with a "huhuhu" sound.
Of course, pits could be seen everywhere. Each one of them was like a treasure-hunting mouse.
Li Nianfan speechlessly turned his head. It seemed that he couldn't stay here any longer. It was ruined. A good tourist spot was ruined.
Coming out of the back field, Li Nianfan even saw signs on the roadside. They said, "The road where Zhu Bajie was carried by his wife" and "The pavilion where Zhu Bajie and his wife played hide and seek" …
It can't be, they really turned it into a tourist spot?
Li Nianfan was shocked. He couldn't be bothered to look anymore and just wandered around the Gao family's house.
"Creak."
A soft sound came. He happened to see Gao Yue walk out of a room. Her eyes were red and she was wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Miss Gao."
"Young Master Li."
Gao Yue hurriedly bowed. She was like a flower in the wind, weak and sad. The sudden change could not be said to be a small blow to her.
Li Nianfan curiously asked, "Miss Gao, many of the settings of the Gao family really opened my eyes. May I ask who made them?"
Gao Yue bitterly said, "There's nothing to be surprised about. I had no choice but to do this."
Li Nianfan was surprised. "You had no choice?"
Gao Yue was originally a gentle woman, and her attitude towards Li Nianfan was very good. Therefore, she calmly explained, "It's all because of 'Journey to the West' …"
It turned out that because many people knew that this was the Gao Village, many people came to seek treasures. The Gao family was annoyed, but they couldn't fight against the cultivators. Gao Yue came up with this idea.
It was better to let it go.
She might as well turn it into a tourist spot. Didn't you want to come? Come, just pay, and you can come and go as you please.
In this way, it really suppressed many cultivators' thoughts of using force.
It had to be said that Gao Yue was really a strange woman.
Gao Yue continued, "Fortunately, my Gao Village has the protection of Clear Spirit Mountain. That Sun Yun is actually the young master of Clear Spirit Mountain, and he personally suppressed this place. This is also the reason why many cultivators don't dare to be presumptuous."
Sun Yun?
That guy's game was much more sophisticated. He was just casting a long line to catch a big fish.
However, Li Nianfan only thought about it in his heart. If he said it out loud, Gao Yue would definitely not believe it. She might even turn hostile.
Li Nianfan said, "Miss Gao is really amazing. You can even think of this kind of method."
"What's the use of this? My father is still dead. "
Gao Yue pursed her lips and said sadly, "My Gao family has always done good deeds and has never made enemies. My father's death must be because someone coveted the treasures in 'Journey to the West'."
Li Nianfan was silent.
He didn't expect that this matter was actually related to him.
If he didn't talk about 'Journey to the West', Gao Village would probably still be a carefree village, and Old Master Gao wouldn't have died.
He didn't need to think to know that although Gao Yue didn't say it, she must be full of complaints about him.
Looking at Gao Yue's appearance, he felt a little guilty. He must help her in this matter.
"Young Master Li, I won't say anymore. Goodbye, Gao Yue."
Gao Yue bowed to Li Nianfan and turned to continue to keep vigil for Old Master Gao.
Li Nianfan looked at her back and opened his mouth. Finally, he sighed and said, "Miss Gao, please wait."
Gao Yue turned her head in confusion. "Young Master Li, do you have any other orders?"
Li Nianfan said, "Miss Gao, do you want to see Old Master Gao again?"
Gao Yue's eyes widened and she said in a daze, "Young Master Li, you … what do you mean?"
Li Nianfan said, "I can take Miss Gao to the Underworld to see Old Master Gao."
Gao Yue's face suddenly showed an excited expression, and then she said in disbelief, "Re, really?"
"Miss Gao only needs to answer, yes or no."
"Yes, of course I'm willing!" Gao Yue was looking forward to it and nodded hurriedly.
"Good!"
Li Nianfan smiled and then raised his foot and stepped on the ground three times. "Land, land, why don't you show yourself quickly?"
Gao Yue looked at Li Nianfan, and Li Nianfan looked at the ground and tried to remain calm.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't panicking. After all, this was the first time he summoned the land.
If he failed, or if there was no land at all, then it would be a big joke, and his operation would seem a little stupid.
Fortunately, the land didn't disappoint Li Nianfan.
Not long after, a small old man with a crooked back and a walking stick in his hand emerged from the ground, swirling in the air.
He was very nervous, and he bowed to Li Nianfan seriously and said, "This little god pays his respects to the Lord Sage."
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his body was still trembling, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He didn't even dare to look at Li Nianfan.
There was no other way, the name of the Lord Sage was too famous, and even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother of the West had specially instructed that the Lord Sage was an existence that far surpassed them, an existence that was simply unimaginable. No matter who saw him, they had to do their best and use all means to please him. They must not neglect him, and they must not make the Lord Sage unhappy!
Li Nianfan curiously looked at the land. His hair was very long, all white, and dragged like withered grass. "You are the land lord here?"
"Yes, Lord Sage, this little god is the incarnation of the local ginseng spirit, and has a natural nourishing effect. If the Lord Sage takes a fancy to this little god's part, just say the word, and I will immediately cut it off and offer it to the Lord Sage."
The land lord didn't even think, and directly said his origins, and showed his sincerity without hesitation.
"Cough, cough, no need, you are too enthusiastic."
Li Nianfan coughed lightly, and then said, "Okay, take us to the nearest City God Temple, we are going to the underworld."
The land lord didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said, "Lord Sage, please follow me."
Li Nianfan looked at Gao Yue, who had fallen into a daze, "Miss Gao, we are ready to go."
"Ah!"
Gao Yue suddenly quivered, and covered her mouth in shock. She said blankly, "God … God?"
"Not really, I am just a mortal with good luck."
Li Nianfan smiled and waved his hand. Then, clouds began to form under his feet, and he dragged Gao Yue and the land lord into the sky.
The City God Temple was set up in a small city not far from here. With Li Nianfan's speed, they appeared in sight in about five minutes.
The land lord stood on the merit golden cloud, and his legs were trembling. He felt that he had never been at such a peak in his life.
So much merit, just looking at it makes me want to cry ….
He pointed with a trembling voice, "Young Master Li, it is in front."
"Mm, thank you."
Li Nianfan nodded. In order not to cause a commotion, he slowly landed on a wasteland outside the city.
The land lord waved his hand and said in fear and trepidation, "Lord Saint, you are too polite. If you have any other orders, this god will definitely be at your beck and call!"
Li Nianfan looked at him and thought for a moment. Then, he took out a honey peach and handed it over. He said embarrassedly, "I don't have anything on me. I only brought some food with me. Although it is not a treasure, it tastes very good. You can try it."
He knew that because of his identity as the Deluxe Merit Saint, and because he was more popular, the gods were very polite to him. However … merit could not be given away casually. If he only asked for help without anything in return, his reputation would not be good, and it would not be beneficial in the long run.
Good food was his own sincerity, and the taste was enough to conquer the masses. It would not disappoint the people who helped him.
The way to deal with people, to put it bluntly, was to do it properly ….
The land lord looked at the honey peach in front of him, stunned.
His eyes were wide open, and he was almost in a daze.
This, this, this ….
This is called having nothing on me? This is called not a treasure?
This is clearly the biggest and most precious treasure in the world!
It is too precious. I don't even have the right to look at it!
Li Nianfan saw the land lord in a daze and said awkwardly, "If you don't like it, then forget it."
"I like it, I like it!"
The land lord felt a chill run down his spine. His legs almost gave way and he knelt down. He hurriedly said, "My mind was not clear just now. I am a little senile. Please be magnanimous and don't blame me. I love eating peaches the most, really!"
"Hahaha, as long as you like it."
Li Nianfan smiled and handed the peach to the land lord. "Then I will bid you farewell."
The land lord looked at Li Nianfan's departing figure, then looked at the honey peach in his hand. The hand holding the peach began to tremble violently.
In his excitement, he took a deep breath and raised his hand to slap his old face.
"Slap!"
This slap was merciless. It even left a palm print on his face.
However, his mouth was wide open. He smiled until his face was full of wrinkles. He was so excited that his whole body was shaking.
This is not a dream, this is not a dream!
I am rich, I am rich.
I am just leading the way and he gave me such a spirit fruit. Sob sob sob, this is too extravagant. It is too touching.
No wonder they say that the Lord Sage is a monstrous figure. To be able to accompany the Lord Sage is a monstrous blessing. Even if it is just a few words, it is a kind of opportunity!
There are so many gods. To be able to meet the Lord Sage, the probability is too low. However …. I never thought that I would have such an honor. I am so lucky. It is like winning the lottery!
I became rich overnight.
This is too blissful!
No! How can I be the only one to enjoy such happiness? I have to find the land lord next door and let him be happy too.
Not long ago, he got an acquired spiritual treasure and was showing off to me.
This time, I have to let him watch me eat ….
