"It's open! It's open! "
Everyone was overjoyed. At the same time, they looked at Lin Mufeng in shock.
The Heaven's Fall Daoist's body also trembled. His originally dim eyes instantly brightened, and the chessboard involuntarily appeared in his mind. He could not help but murmur, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, I understand, I understand!"
Lin Mufeng looked into the Mystery Land and said, "My friend, let's go in together."
"No, I've already gotten what I want. I'll wait for you outside." The Heaven's Reach Daoist waved his hand. He was a little distracted as he casually found a corner and sat down with his legs crossed. His mind was still constantly simulating the chess game from earlier.
"Thank you so much, my friend." The rest of the people greeted Lin Mufeng. Then, they turned into light and walked into the Mystery Land.
Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun looked at each other and said solemnly, "Let's go in too. The expert has helped us so much. If we can't do what he asked us to do, we won't be able to face him!"
…
Five days passed by quietly.
On this day, the sky was already dark. Li Nianfan brought Daji out, which was out of the ordinary.
That was because it was the annual Shengyuan Festival. At night, it was the busiest time.
Standing on the mountain, Li Nianfan looked down the mountain. He could see that the Fallen Town was lit up with countless lights. It was like a red sea. He could feel the festive atmosphere from afar.
"Let's go." Li Nianfan brought Daji down the mountain.
Clang, clang, clang!
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the Fallen Town.
Entering the Fallen Town, every house was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. Along the way, there were stalls with all kinds of colorful lanterns that lit up the entire street. There were also many toys for children to play with, such as candy figurines and other snacks. It was a dazzling array that was too much for the eyes to take in.
The children gathered in front of the stall. Their small eyes were sparkling as they nibbled on their fingers, revealing a look of longing.
The adults followed behind them with bitter smiles on their faces. However, they still took out their money in exchange for the children's cheerful smiles.
Continuing forward, there was an open space in the middle of the road. There were groups of six acrobatics, as well as groups of lion and dragon dancers. They attracted the attention of countless people, and cheers rose and fell one after another.
Li Nianfan smiled and said to Daji, "How is it? Isn't it lively?"
Li Nianfan remembered that when he first came here, he was mesmerized by the Shengyuan Festival. It was much more interesting than watching the Spring Festival Gala at home in his previous life.
"Mmm, mmm. I didn't think that mortals could live such a carefree life." Daji looked at all of this curiously, her eyes flashing with excitement.
This was her first time coming to the human world, and such a big scene really shocked her.
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, "You're wrong. So what if we're mortals? It's because we only have a mere hundred years that we understand the beauty of life. We'll work hard to live a happy and exciting life. How you want to live depends on you, not on your identity. "
He wanted to correct Daji's thinking.
In the cultivation world, it was natural that everyone envied the high and mighty cultivators. However, mortals also had their own way of living, so they shouldn't be envious of anyone.
Daji's eyes revealed a trace of shock. Her beautiful eyes looked at Li Nianfan, and she took a deep breath and said seriously, "Daji will remember Lord's teachings."
Her heart was in turmoil. Li Nianfan's words were like thunder, constantly echoing in her mind. She vaguely grasped something, but it wasn't very clear.
Master's state of mind had indeed reached an extraordinary level. To be able to follow Master, even if it was just to listen to one or two teachings, it was an incomparable gain.
"It's not much of a teaching, just a few words. You can treat it as chicken soup." Li Nianfan said casually.
"Chicken soup?" Daji was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant.
She was a little frustrated. It seemed that her comprehension was indeed not enough. There was still a long way to go. She couldn't understand many of Master's words.
Walking along the street, there was a river in front of them that passed through the Fallen Town and flowed into the distance.
Above the river was a stone arch bridge. There were many colorful lanterns placed around the bridge. Under the bridge, there were lanterns and boats. Countless men and women were reciting poems and making couplets, pretending to be cultured.
"Guest, would you like to have a cup of tea?"
"Aiya, sir, come up and listen to a song."
The voices of orioles and swallows came from the tower opposite the arch bridge, causing endless reverie.
Daji looked at the tower with flickering lights and could not help but frown. She was a little unhappy and asked curiously, "Master, what is that place?"
Li Nianfan's mouth twitched, then he said, "Uh … It's a place for men and women to talk about cooperation."
At the highest level of the tower.
An old man in a black cloak was squinting his eyes and looking at the people coming and going below.
His thin and long fingers were holding a wine bottle, tasting it carefully.
Behind him was a big red bed. On the bed, a naked young girl was lying. The young girl's eyes were wide open, still maintaining the fear and unwillingness before her death. She had already lost her life.
Suddenly, the old man's eyes focused and stared at the girl in white in the crowd. His eyes were shining with a greedy gaze. He licked his lips and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a beauty in the mortal world!"
Behind him, a disciple also saw Daji and was shocked. He quickly said, "Master, I'll go and catch her now!"
The old man sneered, "A good cauldron naturally can't be given to a mortal."
But in the next moment, his brows suddenly furrowed, and his eyes flickered with bewilderment. "Wait a moment!"
The disciple was also stunned and said in surprise, "That mortal boy actually knows Emperor Luo?"
The old man said in a low voice, "Follow him and observe the situation!"
…
Emperor Luo was strolling around the Lantern Festival with Zhong Xiu and Luo Shiyu. When he saw Li Nianfan, he was delighted and quickly went up to him.
"Young Master Li, Miss Daji, you're also here for the Lantern Festival?"
Li Nianfan nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you here. What a coincidence."
"Hahaha, yes, what a coincidence!" Emperor Luo laughed and seemed a little excited. He offered a treasure, "Young Master Li, I know a place where you can have a panoramic view of the city. Do you want to take a look?"
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said, "I'd better not. I heard that there will be a sect accepting disciples today. I want to take a look."
Emperor Luo nodded and said, "So Young Master Li wants to go there. I'm also going there. Why don't we go together?"
