In the courtyard.

Li Nianfan and Daji were packing.

This was the first time in five years that they were going on a long trip, and they were a little excited.

"Little Daji, prepare some more clothes to change into, so you don't have to wash them on the way, it's a hassle." Li Nianfan said, "I'll go to the backyard and prepare some fruits. What do you like to eat?"

Daji brushed her hair while packing clothes and said, "I'll listen to you, young master."

"Don't always listen to me, you should have your own opinions." Li Nianfan shook his head with a wry smile, "Pears and oranges are good in this season, I'll prepare some more."

Anyway, there is system space, so it's not a problem to carry more things with you.

Li Nianfan waved to Dahei, "Dahei, let's go, pick some fruits."

"Woof woof woof!"

Dahei stood up immediately and ran to the backyard impatiently.

Li Nianfan smiled and couldn't help but cursed: "You are always lazy, and you are only full of energy when eating and picking fruits. What's the point of raising you?"

Xiaobai also came over, "Master, do you need help?"

"Go and help Xiao Daji. Think about the things you want to bring and don't leave anything behind." Li Nianfan said casually, and he had already walked into the backyard.

In addition to the pond and a field in the backyard, the most common thing is trees. There are many kinds of trees, and they are all tall and big, with lush branches and leaves. Along the outer perimeter of the backyard, they wrap the entire inner courtyard.

And the most eye-catching thing is the fruit trees full of fruits.

Dahei's favorite thing to do is to wander around the orchard in the backyard, lying on the trees and staring at the fruit trees in a daze.

In fact, it is so greedy that it often drools. If Li Nianfan had not forbidden it, it would have destroyed many fruits.

The ten-mile pavilion leans against the green hills, and the cuckoo sings in the depths of the flowers.

The spiritual energy of the cultivation world is overwhelming, and with Li Nianfan's careful care, these fruit trees naturally grow very well. No matter what kind of fruit tree it is, they are all tall and big, with thick branches. Moreover, unlike in the previous life, these fruit trees all have flowers and fruits on the same branch, with fruits hanging high and flowers adorning them, which is beautiful.

As you get closer, you can see the orchard full of colorful flowers. The apple trees, peach trees, pear trees and other fruit trees are all in full bloom, like a large patch of morning glow falling from the sky. With the breeze, you can even smell the fruity fragrance.

Walking in the orchard, the various fruity fragrances are refreshing, penetrating into your nostrils and into your heart.

Under the sun, these fruits are shining as if they are alive, and the leaves and flowers are floating in the air with the breeze, just like in a painting, like a dream.

Li Nianfan stood in the backyard, looking around, feeling like he was in a painting. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Comfortable!"

He couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. The reason why the backyard is so beautiful is all due to his own efforts.

"Dahei, go pick some pears!"

As soon as Li Nianfan finished speaking, Dahei turned into a black shadow, nimbly jumped onto the tree, and jumped around between the branches.

Li Nianfan put the backpack under the tree, waiting for Dahei to catch the pears when he took them down.

Nothing to do, he looked around the inner courtyard, and when he saw the old turtle lying by the pond, his eyes lit up slightly.

Immediately, he waved his hand and said attentively: "Old turtle, come here!"

The old turtle lazily opened its eyes, looked at Li Nianfan, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly crawled towards Li Nianfan.

"Puff puff puff!"

Its body was huge, and every movement made a sound.

"Okay, stop there first." Li Nianfan smiled slightly, and immediately climbed up to a high place along the old turtle's shell. He could reach the oranges on the tree with a slight raise of his hand.

The old turtle was so huge that it was like a moving ladder. It was so convenient!

"Move forward, that's right, stop." Li Nianfan was relaxed and comfortable, and he also stood on a high place to enjoy the scenery.

Not knowing how long he would be away this time, Li Nianfan simply picked some more pears and oranges, filling two baskets. Although these can be sold outside, they are not as fragrant as those at home.

"Woof woof woof!"

Dahei called to Li Nianfan, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail quickly from side to side.

The old turtle also looked at Li Nianfan eagerly.

"Okay, you guys can't be left out!" Li Nianfan was helpless and threw the pears to them.

Dahei opened his mouth wide and jumped up quickly.

The old turtle also stretched his neck and opened his mouth to wait.

"Crack!"

The pear entered his mouth and he chewed it violently. It seemed to explode immediately, and the juice flowed everywhere. The turtle and the dog immediately showed expressions of great satisfaction.

"Oh, and bring some side dishes, since we'll probably be cooking outside."

Li Nianfan picked some more dishes in the field before leaving the backyard. He was slightly startled when he saw the rockery. "I remember, I have to bring some jelly to satisfy my hunger."

...

Three days passed in a flash.

On this day, Luo Huang, Luo Shiyu, Qin Manyun and the second elder came to the gate of the courtyard early and waited respectfully. The

second elder's face flushed, he was full of energy, his excitement was beyond words, and he looked like he had won a big prize.

"Lucky, so lucky! The Palace Master is in seclusion to overcome the tribulation, and the Great Elder needs to stay behind to guard the Linxiandao Palace. I was lucky enough to win over the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder, so I got the chance to accompany her this time. Hahaha, I want to laugh just thinking about it. There is no higher peak in life than this."

Being able to accompany a master is the blessing that I, Zhou Dacheng, have cultivated for eight lifetimes. I must perform well and try to leave a good impression on the master!

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the door of the courtyard rang, and Li Nianfan and Daji both walked out.

Li Nianfan smiled at everyone and said, "Good morning, everyone. You are too polite. In fact, you don't have to wait here specially."

Qin Manyun and the other four also hurriedly said respectfully, "Mr. Li, good morning."

Qin Manyun introduced, "This is my elder, named Zhou Dacheng. The spiritual power for driving the spiritual boat still needs to be provided by him."

It turned out to be the driver.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I have met Mr. Zhou."

He turned around and said to Dahei beside him, "Dahei, I am going on a long trip this time, so I won't take you with me. Go back."

"Woo woo woo." Dahei's dog eyes were full of reluctance, and he rubbed his head against Li Nianfan's trousers.

Li Nianfan patted its head and said with a smile, "Okay, go back. It's not good for you to follow us alone. Be good and look after the house."

Then, under Dahei's reluctant gaze, they walked down the mountain with everyone else.

When they could no longer see Li Nianfan, Dahei shook his head. The reluctance and sadness on his face disappeared instantly. He became energetic and almost laughed out loud.

He turned around and entered the courtyard.

However, in the courtyard, the dragon fire beads were rolling and spewing fire everywhere, the sword Buddha rushed out of the demon-killing sword and was still chanting sutras and praising Buddha, the thousand-year-old black ice and ice crystal were competing with each other, the cold air was chilly, the whole stream began to freeze, the preaching relics were constantly playing the content, and the Tianxin bell was shaking wildly.

In the backyard, bursts of excited laughter came from the forest, and the trees began to grow wildly, twisting their waists.

In the pond, a golden figure was circling in the pool water. On the side, the old turtle was lying on the shore, closing his eyes, and a peaceful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Dahei twisted his butt and opened his mouth wide, "Brothers, the master is gone, let's have fun!"

And by the pond, at the place where the very special seed had been planted before, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and a tender sprout poked out from it!
