"Hiss——"
"Please stop hissing, is this ever going to end?!" Pei An's scalp tingled and he was holding back his anger, "Calm down, calm down! Are you going to die with me?"
Gu Yuan hurriedly said, "Master, the main reason is that the news is too shocking, we really couldn't help it."
"Master, I think what you said is not right."
Gu Changqing suddenly spoke, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Have you forgotten the existence of the masters? Whether it is the courtyard or the entire world, their growth should all be the work of the masters!"
Pei An and Gu Yuan looked at each other at the same time, and then nodded.
"You make a lot of sense."
"That should be it."
At this moment, accompanied by a sound, Li Nianfan stood up and said with a smile, "It's done!"
The Fire Phoenix's eyes lit up slightly, and it instantly turned into a human form, landing beside Li Nianfan, expectantly saying, "Let me see."
In Li Nianfan's hand, there was a lifelike phoenix, dark red in color, the same size as his palm, with its head held high. Both its posture and appearance were exactly the same as the Fire Phoenix just now. In addition
to the appearance, it seemed that even the Fire Phoenix's eyes were carved out, extremely vivid, and invisibly, a breath of air came from the statue. If you stare at it, it really seems to be alive.
Li Nianfan was still very confident in his carving skills, and asked with a smile: "How is it?"
"Too... too beautiful." Huo Feng held the statue and was actually a little dazed for a moment. The love on her face could not be concealed at all. This statue seemed to be born for her, and there was a feeling of inseparability.
She was very satisfied, holding it carefully in her hands and constantly wiping it.
I couldn't help but murmur, "Sir, you carved it so well."
Li Nianfan smiled modestly, "I'm glad you like it."
"I'm very satisfied with this statue. You can..."
Huofeng paused. She wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to the master. She wanted to ride me, but she felt that this progress was too fast and it was not like what a phoenix would say to a mortal. She changed her words and said, "You can make a request to me."
It's really hard for me to cooperate with the master.
Look at the dogs, mortals, lighters, etc. in the yard. It's not easy for everyone!
"Really?" Li Nianfan's eyes lit up, and he said unceremoniously, "Thank you in advance!"
When it's time to hug someone's thigh, hug him decisively. If you are polite, you are a fool.
Daji stood aside, looking at the phoenix sculpture with an extremely envious look in her eyes, "Sir, can you carve one for me? I...I want it too."
"Hahaha, no problem! I'll give it to you tomorrow!" Li Nianfan stretched out his hand and gave Daji a pat on the head, "Little Daji wants it, I'll give it to you no matter what."
Daji squinted her eyes and enjoyed it, her joy was beyond words, "Hehe, thank you, sir."
Then, Li Nianfan walked towards Gu Changqing and the other two.
Seeing Li Nianfan coming, the three of them all looked nervous and stood up a little stiffly.
"Sit down, everyone, why are you being so polite?" Li Nianfan showed a casual smile, and then lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, the phoenix is easy to talk to, don't be too nervous."
The phoenix is easy to talk to?
This is only relative to you.
The corners of Gu Changqing's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly said, "It's my first time meeting the legendary phoenix. I lost my composure, really lost my composure."
Li Nianfan smiled and asked curiously, "Mr. Gu, who are these two..."
Gu Changqing introduced, "Mr. Li, this is my grandfather, named Gu Yuan, and this one is my ancestor, and also the first generation master of Qingyun Valley, Pei An."
Grandfather?
Ancestor?
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned.
"Master Gu, are they... immortals?"
Gu Changqing nodded, "To be honest, Master Li, they just came down to the mortal world from the immortal world not long ago."
"They are really immortals!" Li Nianfan was extremely shocked, and quickly stood up and bowed, "Excuse me, excuse me!"
Gu Yuan and Pei An also stood up and returned the greeting, "Master Li, you are too polite, immortals are just a nicer name, in fact, they are just cultivators with higher cultivation."
These are immortals, who were extremely sacred in their previous lives, and they actually appeared in front of him like this, which was really dreamy enough.
Fortunately, he met the phoenix first, so he was very stable and did not lose his composure too much.
Immortal cultivators are awesome. The master, grandfather, grandson, and great-grandson can actually live at the same time. It's really chaotic.
But I have a thousand years to live now. If I have a baby with Daji now, then a thousand years later... Oh, I don't want to think about it. I feel embarrassed...
Come to think of it, even if I become immortal, I can still be so friendly. The character of this family is really beyond reproach.
Li Nianfan's thoughts flew for a while, and he said sincerely: "It's really enviable to be able to ascend."
Pei An and the other two didn't say anything, mainly because they couldn't respond.
Who is enviable? Just tell me clearly.
"By the way, since you are here, what gifts did you bring? So many chickens, it's too polite." As he spoke, Li Nianfan looked in the direction of the group of firebirds.
Suddenly, the fire sparrows straightened their bodies as if they were being inspected, and at the same time, they raised their buttocks. With a "poof", eggs fell from their buttocks one after another, neatly arranged into six.
Looking at these six chickens laying eggs obediently, Gu Changqing and the other two couldn't help but feel complicated.
Arrogant as the fire sparrow, it eventually suffered a beating from society, and became a chicken willingly for the sake of licking dogs.
Pei An smiled and said, "Mr. Li, they are just some chickens, nothing special. I thought one chicken alone would not be enough to lay eggs, so I took the initiative to send five more. Please don't mind."
"Mr. Pei, you are too polite." Li Nianfan said, "To be honest, one chicken is not enough. Look at that chicken. It has been laying eggs frequently recently and has lost weight. You are really thoughtful."
Pei An was overjoyed and said with a smile, "As long as Mr. Li likes it."
Li Nianfan shook his head and suddenly changed the subject, "But I am just an ordinary mortal. What virtue do I have to deserve you? Is there something wrong?"
He was indeed a little confused. It was okay for the immortal cultivators to come to visit, because he was on good terms with them, but it was a bit strange for the grandfather and ancestor of the immortal cultivators to come to visit together, and their identities were immortals who came down to earth.
Could it be that they also admired his talent? That wouldn't be exaggerated, after all, the other party was an immortal.
Did he come here because he heard that there were delicious foods here? That's not the case.
Li Nianfan just asked casually, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of Pei An and the other two. Their brains went blank and they were almost scared to death on the spot.
"What should we do? What should we do?"
In an instant, their backs were completely soaked with cold sweat and their bodies were shaking involuntarily.
It was a mistake, it was my own mistake!
Because I was too excited and couldn't wait to visit the master, I didn't think it through and didn't have a suitable reason for the visit.
Could it be that we know you are a hermit master and we came down to take advantage of the opportunity?
I guess the master slapped me to death before I finished speaking.
Since the master likes to play the role of a mortal, if we come here so rashly, wouldn't it be disturbing the master's meditation? The master was definitely angry.
Such a simple question involved a life-and-death test!
Living with a master is like living with a tiger, it is really scary.
Pei An and the other two held their breath, their brains working at high speed, wishing they could burn all their potential to come up with a solution.
Think, think quickly!
Their hearts were about to jump out, and at this moment, Pei An trembled all over, but suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Grit his teeth and fight!
He said respectfully, "Mr. Li, we are here because of Journey to the West and the Golden Crow."
Li Nianfan's heart was slightly moved, "Oh?"
Pei An organized his words and said, "To be honest, Mr. Li's Journey to the West is really fascinating, especially the various gods and monsters in it, which made us suddenly enlightened, as if we had seen a new world. As for the Golden Crow, I also heard about it in an ancient relic, which is why I wanted to visit it."
Since the master has said all this, it means that he is not very shy about it. I will use this as an opportunity, at least I won't disgust the master.
"I see." Li Nianfan nodded and fell silent.
I didn't expect that even the immortals have become fans of my books.
But he suddenly felt a little empty.
Since phoenixes exist in the fairy world, there might really have been golden crows. These stories I told were fictional in my previous life, but here, they are serious stories of immortals. Regardless of whether they are true or false, they will definitely attract the attention of immortals.
I'm out of control!
I originally wanted to keep a low profile and spend my life in peace. I wouldn't let a story disturb my peace.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but glance at the fire phoenix and relaxed a little.
He said, "Mr. Pei, actually those are just stories, fictional, and can't be taken seriously."
Pei An continued, "I am truly amazed when I heard this story. Although Mr. Li is just a mortal, your talent is far beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Thank you, Mr. Pei." Li Nianfan said modestly, cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Please keep this matter a secret for me, Mr. Pei."
Pei An said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. Everyone only knows that "Journey to the West" was written by a strange man named Wu Chengen, and only a few of us know about the Golden Crow Picture. We are not talkative people!"
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan also nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we will definitely not spread it!"
This is something the master has instructed, and we will never tell it even if we are beaten to death!
"That's good, that's good." Li Nianfan smiled, and then said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, quickly add some tea for the guests, and get some more fruit."
Pei An and the other two were all delighted and breathed a sigh of relief.
Phew -
passed!
And it seems that the master is very satisfied with our answer!
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan were really convinced by their ancestor this time. He is worthy of being an old immortal who has lived for more than ten thousand years. It is really not easy to be so quick-witted.
If it were them, they might have knelt down on the spot, crying and begging the master to spare their lives.
