Fairyland.
On a fairy mountain, there stood a magnificent palace.
It seemed that there was a golden glow emanating from the palace, and the spirit was flowing.
Clouds were floating around the palace, and from time to time, immortals would fly through the sky on clouds, like a picture of a fairyland on earth.
Inside the palace, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe sat in the center of the palace.
His eyes were deep, and he looked majestic without being angry.
A heavy voice came out of his mouth, "So many things have happened in the mortal world recently, even the fairy world has been greatly affected, have you found out the reason?"
A woman in palace dress stepped forward two steps and said, "Master Qilu, according to the news, the changes between the immortals and mortals can be traced back to more than two months ago. At that time, an immortal named Liu Kuang was killed by an unknown force in the mortal world, and his body fell into the mortal world! And when another immortal next to Liu Kuang was about to take back the body, he was blocked and failed to bring back the body!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, "Oh? Is there such a thing! Could it be that there are immortals in the mortal world?"
The woman in palace dress nodded, "There are indeed immortals in the mortal world, but I don't know whether they came from the fairy world or were born in the human world."
"The road between immortals and mortals had not yet been connected. Even I could not have descended to the mortal world. This is impossible!" The middle-aged man shook his head, frowning slightly. "If I were born in the human world... it would also be impossible! The only possibility is that I was stranded in the human world before the road between immortals and mortals was cut off!"
"Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed the only possibility." The woman in palace dress showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and then said: "It seems that it was with the appearance of this person that the road between immortals and mortals began to gradually connect, until not long ago, when the Human Emperor returned to the throne, and the road was completely opened!"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, "To think that after a lapse of 100,000 years, the Human Emperor was reborn! Who is planning the human world?"
The woman in palace dress pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, there is one more very important thing. The phoenix from the Donglin Fairyland seems to... have come down to earth!"
The middle-aged man's brows suddenly frowned. This was too unusual!
He looked at the woman in palace dress, and there seemed to be a faint light flashing in his eyes, "You have overlooked one point. Haven't you noticed that the immortal aura of the immortal world has not been diluted by the connection between the immortal and mortal roads!"
"Hiss——"
The pupils of the woman in palace dress shrank, and her delicate body trembled, "This... How is this possible?"
"So, there has been a big change in the mortal world! The hand is not ordinary!"
The middle-aged man showed a thoughtful look, "The immortal world, the human world, and the demon world, is this going to make the three worlds meet again? Is it the law of the operation of the heaven, or has someone tampered with the law of the heaven? Interesting, really interesting!"
"Immortal Lord, what should we do?"
"The waters of the mortal world are too deep, don't act rashly for now. Now that we know the source of the matter, let's use it to investigate it first! Regarding the death of the immortal Liu Kuang, go to his sect in the immortal world to find out the situation, and also find out the sects in the mortal world related to him! In addition, don't miss the movement track of the phoenix before it descended to the earth!"
The middle-aged man licked his lips, "The world has changed drastically, and the fortune is overwhelming. This piece of cake must be grabbed!"
...
In the courtyard.
Daji stood beside a chair, her hands on her waist, her hair in a bun, and a graceful smile on her face.
The breeze blew her hair and skirt, making Li Nianfan very worried that she would become an immortal in the next moment.
With a "puff" sound, Li Nianfan put away the carving knife and smiled, "Okay! Little Daji, come and have a look."
Daji's face lit up, and she walked over quickly with lotus steps.
She took the statue in her hands, and the joy in her eyes could not be concealed at all, "Sir, you are so good to me!"
"It's good that you like it. We are the only two people here who depend on each other. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?" Li Nianfan smiled slightly, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "By the way, why do you have to choose this posture? There are obviously better and more comfortable postures."
With Daji's conditions, if she posed in the postures of the women in her previous life, she would definitely be charming.
Daji said, "Sir, why don't you carve one for yourself? When the time comes, you sit on the stool and I stand by. When we put our two statues together, you will know that I am serving you."
"Little Daji, you..." Li Nianfan was moved by the sudden warmth. Such a beautiful woman has always wanted to stay by his side as a maid. Anyone would be moved. How can
I be so virtuous?
In my previous life, such a woman could not even exist in a dream.
Li Nianfan took a deep breath and said, "I have said that we are equal. You are not allowed to think of yourself as a maid anymore."
On the side, Huofeng couldn't help but sneer. She
is indeed a vixen. Her means of seducing men are simply superb.
But you are just a mortal now, and you can't let the master ride you. But I am different. When the time comes, the master will ride me, so I will be more useful and naturally more pleasing to the master.
Li Nianfan was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Little Daji, let's go. I'll take you to Luoxian City for a stroll."
"Yes." Daji carefully put away the statue and nodded obediently.
Huofeng suddenly said: "The city in the mortal world? I'll go and take a look too."
Li Nianfan glanced at Huofeng and said with some difficulty: "I'm afraid your outfit will easily cause a sensation."
Huofeng's face was calm, and a flash of fire flashed on his body. He suddenly turned into a fiery red bird and landed on Li Nianfan's shoulder, "How about this?"
"No problem." Li Nianfan was a little dumbfounded, and at the same time a little envious.
It turns out that being strong can allow you to do whatever you want. I finally came to the world of immortal cultivation, but I can only rely on others to make a living. What a failure.
The two people and the bird formed a group and went down the mountain.
Soon, Luoxian City was in sight.
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "It's so lively."
Today, Luoxian City is more prosperous than before, with countless caravans coming and going. It seems that many people have come here on purpose, all of them are servants.
Entering Luoxian City, there are many new faces inside.
What happened?
The best way to find out the situation is to go to the market. Li Nianfan is familiar with the market and soon saw the fish owner in a familiar corner.
But this time he was not alone. There was a little girl with him, Xiao Yuer, squatting and playing with the fish.
The fish owner naturally saw Li Nianfan and smiled, "Mr. Li."
Xiao Yuer also raised her head and said sweetly, "Hello, brother."
Her eyes fell on the little red bird on Li Nianfan's shoulder, her eyes full of curiosity.
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Boss Yu, how's your business lately?"
Boss Yu's face flushed, "Thanks to Mr. Li, I've made a small profit lately."
"Oh? Congratulations." Li Nianfan said sincerely. Sure
enough, without Li Nianfan asking, Boss Yu told him everything that had happened recently.
"Mr. Li, you don't know that there are big fish everywhere in Jingyue Lake recently, and there are a lot of big carps! Once this net is cast, there will be a big harvest!"
The fish owner was a little excited, and then said mysteriously: "Many people say that this is the appearance of the Dragon King, and they are worshiping the Dragon King by the lake."
Li Nianfan was surprised and said: "There is such a good thing."
"That's right, I was scared myself, and I felt that the fish were going to be a disaster." The fish owner continued: "Mr. Li, why don't you try Jingyue Lake? With your fishing skills, you will definitely get a lot of fish!"
"Let's talk about it later when we have time." Li Nianfan smiled, and then said, "There seem to be a lot more outsiders in Luoxian City."
Boss Yu sighed, "Hey, there's chaos outside, and there are only a few safe places, so naturally many people will come to seek refuge."
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there a war?"
"Yes, there is a war!" Boss Yu was a little helpless, "I heard that they came from the southern border. The people there are all southern barbarians who believe in some kind of demon cult. There's no point in talking to them. They are so cruel."
"Demon cult?"
Li Nianfan was a little stunned, and then thought of the demons he met in the Xia Dynasty, and showed a look of sudden realization.
It seems that Zhou Yunwu has something to do.
"I heard that the southern barbarians are about to break out of the southern border. Several cities have been destroyed. I don't know if anyone can stop them." Boss Yu showed a worried look on his face.
Li Nianfan asked, "Boss Yu, isn't it a good thing for mortals to unify?"
"It is indeed a good thing, but it can't be the southern barbarians!" Boss Yu said repeatedly, "Not to mention that those people are cruel, the key is that they don't treat women as human beings. I heard that they treat women as goods and send them back and forth. If they come to attack us, what will happen? What should Xiao Yu'er do?"
"If I didn't feel sorry for Xiao Yu'er and her daughter, I would have joined the army too!"
Li Nianfan nodded. He had some impression of those demons. What they promoted was similar to a cult, not a good thing.
He looked at the stall and said, "Mr. Yu, your fish are really big. Let's take these two perches."
"Okay!"
Mr. Yu skillfully packed the fish and handed it to Li Nianfan, but he didn't take the money.
He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, you gave Xiao Yu'er a tiger fish last time. If I charge you for these two perches, wouldn't it be a slap in my face?"
"Thank you."
Li Nianfan didn't say anything polite and smiled and said, "Xiao Yu'er, goodbye."
"Goodbye, brother."
After walking out of the market, Li Nianfan walked forward for a distance, but saw a stall not far ahead. Several soldiers in armor were guarding on both sides. There were three soldiers sitting in the stall, responsible for registration.
It was obvious that it was a recruiting office.
The man sitting in the middle was still an acquaintance of Li Nianfan. He was the burly guard who followed Zhou Yunwu that day.
Behind him, nearly a hundred people had gathered, all of whom had signed up to join the army.
Either their relatives had been killed, or they were forced by life, or they wanted to make achievements, but no matter what the reason was, Li Nianfan admired them.
He would never dare to sign up to join the army, and he would do it if he could.
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and walked over.
He looked at the treatment, which was really high. Not only was food and accommodation provided, but the salary was 1.5 times that of a normal man. If you died in battle, you would also receive a subsidy. There was only one requirement, that is, to endure hardships and hard work.
"Name, age, physical condition, previous occupation."
Feeling someone approaching, the guard showed a look of relief and skillfully came to the basic fourth company.
Seeing that there was no response, he couldn't help but look up.
At this sight, the guard's eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up in a panic and said respectfully: "Mr. Li, it's you!"
