Li Nianfan pulled Daji to sit down.

Soon, a basket of steamed buns and two bowls of tofu pudding were placed in front of them.

The hot aroma hit their faces, drifting with the wind, making them hungry.

"Hula."

After taking a bite of the steamed bun and a sip of tofu pudding, their whole bodies were instantly warmed up, completely dispelling the early morning cold, and they felt indescribably comfortable.

At this time, the boss came over with a few plates with boiled eggs and some side dishes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, these side dishes are for you."

Li Nianfan couldn't help laughing and said, "Boss, you are too polite."

The boss said quickly: "Mr. Li, what are you talking about? Isn't it your guidance that makes our store so prosperous? I also hope that you can come to eat more often, so that our store can be influenced by your culture, so that my son can also become a cultured person and bring honor to the family." "

Hahaha, of course."

Li Nianfan laughed and said curiously: "Boss, I heard others seem to be talking about thunder and lightning. Did something happen?"

"Mr. Li, don't you know about such a big thing?" The boss sighed first, and then said: "Just yesterday, a bolt of lightning struck the old locust tree at the gate of Luoxian City!"

Li Nianfan frowned slightly, but heard the boss continue: "Hey, that old locust tree has watched several generations of people in our city grow up. I remember I climbed over it when I was a child. Who would have thought that a bolt of lightning would fall from the sky and split it in the middle. Two sections! According to people who saw it, the thunder was thicker than a bowl, and it was rare to see it in life!"

Li Nianfan asked, "But what about the old locust tree at the east gate of the city?"

The boss sighed, "Yes, but this is strange. Although the old locust tree fell, such a big branch did not crush anyone, nor did it damage any building. It just happened to avoid it. Some old people said that the old locust tree is spiritual!"

"Boss, do you have any wine?" Li Nianfan asked suddenly.

"Yes, Mr. Li, please wait." After a moment, the boss secretly took out a pot of wine from under his stall, "I have it from my private collection, I take a sip occasionally, and I'll give it to you! But Mr. Li, it's not good to drink so early in the morning."

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "I know, thank you for telling me, boss."

"It's a small matter, a small matter." The boss laughed.

Li Nianfan wiped his mouth, "Little Daji, are you full?"

Seeing Daji nod, Li Nianfan casually put some silver coins on the table, stood up and said, "Let's go."

Not long after walking out, he heard the boss calling from behind, "Mr. Li, your silver!"

"No, it's your silver!"

Li Nianfan made a playful joke, and his mood became even better. He picked up the wine pot and walked quickly towards the east of the city with Daji.

Daji asked, "Sir, are you going to see the old locust tree?"

"Yes." Li Nianfan nodded, "The old locust tree is indeed old. I was really shocked when I saw it for the first time. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Walking through the long street, stepping over the arch bridge, passing the gate where men and women talk about cooperation.

Soon, the two walked all the way from the west of the city to the east of the city.

Although it happened yesterday, the place is still full of people. There is a sense of emotion in everyone's eyes. They surround the old locust tree with regret and keep talking and sighing.

Most of them are old people and children.

"This old locust tree must be thousands of years old. It has been here since my great-grandfather's generation."

"Oh, what a sin! Why did the lightning strike this old locust tree when there are

so many other places to be struck by lightning?" "Don't you know? There have been a lot of thunders recently. My son, who is on a caravan, said that there have been lightning strikes in many places, especially in the deep mountains. Even though there are no clouds in the sky, you can still hear thunder!"

Li Nianfan stood aside, listening to the conversation of several elders while looking at the huge old locust tree.

The roots of the old locust tree have emerged from the soil, growing and protruding along the ground, forming a network like a path that crisscrosses under people's feet. The trunk is so thick that it would probably take more than a dozen adults to hug it.

What was shocking was that the thick branch was now split in two from top to bottom in the middle, falling on both sides, blocking a large area of ​​the surrounding roads, and there was a charred mark in the center.

From this piece of debris, we can see the original glory of the old locust tree.

Li Nianfan couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the fallen trunk of the old locust tree. The bark was rough and thick, with clear textures, as if recording its years of vicissitudes.

He casually swept it, but his eyes were fixed.

In the center of the charred black, there was actually a tender new bud poking out from it. This touch of green was extremely conspicuous in the charred black, giving a feeling of destruction and rebirth coexisting.

Suddenly, Li Nianfan smiled knowingly.

"Old locust tree, if you really have a spirit, I toast to you! I wish you to break and then stand up, and be reborn in Nirvana!"

He drank a sip of the wine in the pot, then raised it slightly and poured it under the roots of the old locust tree.

In the world of cultivating immortals, Li Nianfan did not think it was strange to be able to cultivate spiritual wisdom. Regardless of whether it has a spirit or not, it deserves respect just because it has protected Luoxian City from wind and rain for so many years and did not bring any harm to Luoxian City before its death!

Just when Li Nianfan was about to turn around, a familiar voice came from the side, "Mr. Li is here too?"

Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "Mr. Fish?"

This man turned out to be the stall owner who sold fish.

Li Nianfan said with a smile: "Didn't Mr. Yu set up his stall today? I was thinking of buying two fish."

"I just came here to join in the fun. If you want to buy fish, just follow me back." Mr. Yu was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile: "The monster problem in Jingyue Lake has been solved. I have many kinds of fish there. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

"Oh?" Li Nianfan showed a look of surprise, "The monster problem has been solved?"

"Yes, I told you, I was almost eaten by that monster!"

Boss Yu's face was flushed, and he said excitedly, "That monster was so terrifying. You can never imagine that it was actually a baloney monster that was bigger than a human! It opened its mouth and sucked me in. It was so scary! But I was lucky and happened to meet a cultivator who was fighting against monsters. I was able to save my life at the critical moment. You don't know how dangerous it was at that time. I was only 0.01 centimeters away from the baloney monster!"

Boss Yu gestured with his hands from time to time, and he was gesticulating and spitting.

Li Nianfan smiled and followed without saying a word.

Abalone monster?

Could it be the one that Qin Manyun and Luo Shiyu brought last time?

He looked at Mr. Yu strangely and said, "You were almost eaten by the abalone spirit, but I ate the abalone spirit.

I won't brag about this, I'm afraid you won't believe it."
