"Naihe Bridge, it's the Naihe Bridge!"
Meng Po looked at the bridge, her lips trembling with excitement, and her body involuntarily walked over.
The Naihe Bridge is a very simple bridge, in the shape of an arch bridge, but there are no handrails on both sides of the bridge. It is precisely because there are no handrails that people who go up the bridge have to be very careful, and dare not push or shove each other. Once they fall, they will have to float in the underworld again.
Meng Po walked over slowly, but saw that at the front of the Naihe Bridge, the stone tablet that was originally buried in the soil was slowly emerging. On it, there were two blood-red and ancient characters printed on it - Naihe!
She looked dazed, hunched over, and slowly stepped onto the bridge.
Standing at the highest point of the arch bridge, you can see the entire Yellow Spring.
Once you get on top, take a good look at the Yellow Spring water, recall the past, and then drink a bowl of Meng Po soup and set off.
This golden light is like the warm sun in winter, and wherever it shines, the ruined underworld slowly recovers its vitality. Seeing
this scene, many ghost messengers couldn't help but shed hot tears and cried bitterly.
Hei Wuchang stammered: "Granny, this golden light is, it's luck...luck."
"Yes, it's luck! The luck of my underworld has actually returned!" Meng Po was full of emotion.
"Mother-in-law, I found out that these merits come from the City God Temple of Luoxian City. Yes, yes..."
Bai Wuchang's eyes were filled with incomparable excitement, and he said, "It was the master who wrote the inscription for the City God Temple! It was the master who built the City God Temple, so that the Heavenly Dao recognized it!"
"I guessed it, I guessed it!"
Meng Po laughed so hard that tears came out, and her joy was beyond words. "At the last moment of destruction, my underworld was lucky and got help from a real noble!"
Just as the golden light was about to dissipate, it shone on the two stone sculptures at the gate of the underworld.
"Wow wow wow!"
Cracks began to appear in the stone sculptures, and then pieces of rubble began to fall, revealing a horse face and a bull head.
After a while, their eyes slightly blinked, as if filled with confusion.
The Black and White Impermanence flew over excitedly and said, "Bull-Head, Horse-Face!"
"Old Black, Old White?"
The Bull-Head and Horse-Face were both stunned, their pupils bulged, as if they had a big dream, and rubbed their eyes together, "What's going on? What happened? I remember that we...seemed to be sealed forever."
"I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Tears flashed in the eyes of the Bull-Head and Horse-Face, they were scared.
When they thought about being sealed forever, it would be a lie to say that they were not afraid, but they suppressed their fear and faced it calmly, and sealed it!
Now that they have recovered, they are still scared and cry when they think about it.
Bai Wuchang hugged Niutou and Mamian and said excitedly: "Hahaha, you're back, it's good to be back."
"Welcome back, but now the underworld is in a state of disrepair. We are worried. You will be busy when you come back, hahaha..." Hei Wuchang also laughed.
Niutou and Mamian grinned at the same time and said: "A state of disrepair? We like it!"
...
In front of the City God Temple, Li Nianfan put down his pen and stood.
The winter wind was icy and biting, blowing slowly, blowing everyone's hair. The couplet calligraphy was placed on the table, also swaying slowly with the wind.
The calligraphy was very light, but it was extremely stable, as if the wind did not dare to blow it away.
Li Nianfan looked him up and down, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am a little nervous about writing an inscription for the City God. What do you think of this inscription?"
Luo Huang blurted out without hesitation, "Good inscription, very correct! Master Li is really talented!"
"You are the only one in the world who can write this inscription. Just based on this inscription, you will be passed down through the ages!"
"Your talent is a blessing to the people and the country!"
Everyone knew the importance of it and did not flatter him, but this was indeed from the heart, making Li Nianfan laugh out loud.
"Hahaha, forget about being passed down through the ages, I don't have that much in mind."
"Master Li's state of mind is really shameful."
"I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself."
Everyone took the opportunity to flatter him again.
Luo Huang and Zhou Yunwu each carefully picked up a copybook, respectfully unfolded it, and faced the crowd.
"I don't know when the eight hundred miles of lakes and mountains were painted, and the fireworks of a hundred thousand families all return to the pavilions here."
Many people read it silently, and suddenly burst into endless applause.
The charm of poetry lies in that it can convey a kind of artistic conception. Even if you are not educated, you can still feel the power of poetry when you listen to it.
This couplet resonated with everyone in an instant, and everyone was amazed at Li Nianfan's talent.
"Young Master Li is still alive. I would say that it would be an honor for our Luoxian City if Young Master Li was the City God!"
"Yes, that's right! Who else can have the qualities of Young Master Li, who is both virtuous and talented? I feel relieved if
Young Master Li is the City God!" "I beg Young Master Li to be the City God."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Luo Shiyu quickly stood up, "Shut up!"
Zhou Yunwu and Luo Huang were also shocked at the same time, and shouted loudly: "How dare you! Don't be rude!"
How bold! How can a mere City God compare to such a great master? The skills of these people in courting death are simply appalling!
Li Nianfan also looked a little embarrassed. This group of people did have good intentions, but the City God had to be dead before he could take the title.
Kneeling and begging me to take the title was like begging me to die. It was touching, but it was a bit of a trap.
He coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, forget it, the villagers have no bad intentions."
Meng Junliang said respectfully, "Sir, I will have someone frame this couplet and put it on the pillar of the City God Temple."
Luo Huang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, be careful, it must be of high quality, I'd better ask the immortal cultivator to do it."
Li Nianfan smiled, "You guys can do it, I just happened to be here, I have to go."
Everyone immediately said, "I'll see you off."
In the City God Temple, the phantoms of the Black and White Impermanence and a group of ghost messengers slowly emerged, and together bowed respectfully to Li Nianfan's back.
Li Nianfan did not leave the Immortal City, but went to the east of the city and looked at the old locust tree.
After not seeing it for such a long time, the growth rate of the old locust tree was beyond Li Nianfan's imagination. It had grown to more than one person's height, and the half-dead old trunk at the bottom had gradually fallen off and was replaced by a new trunk.
The branches grew straight, unlike ordinary trees. Although it was winter now, there were still some green leaves on it, and a thin layer of white snow covered the branches.
Li Nianfan was not surprised. He smiled and said, "Old tree, long time no see. You are indeed a spirit. You can grow leaves even in winter."
"Wow wow wow."
The branches of the tree swayed, and the layer of white snow on the tree fluttered with it, like flowers scattered by a fairy, slowly flying and circling among the crowd, adding a bit of romantic and beautiful atmosphere.
This is certainly not a coincidence.
"Old tree, you are quite naughty." Li Nianfan smiled and patted the old locust tree. If he brought a girl with him, he might be the best wingman.
After a few simple greetings with the old locust tree, Li Nianfan said goodbye.
It is appropriate to visit these old friends after returning from a long trip.
Long'er lowered her head, pouted her lips, and whispered, "Brother, we are not going back now, are we?"
She felt that they had just come out and had not played much. It was just a casual walk around, which was not interesting at all.
Nannan also nodded and said, "Yes, the City God Temple is so lively and fun. Let's go there again."
"We definitely can't go to the City God Temple."
Li Nianfan raised his hands and rubbed Nannan and Long'er's heads respectively. "I just became famous there. If I continue to stay there, it will only make both parties embarrassed. Instead, it is the best choice to leave directly, so that we can maintain our image."
Nannan and Long'er seemed to understand and seemed a little unhappy.
Li Nianfan suddenly changed the subject and said, "But it's still early today, why not go to Jingyue Lake and enjoy the winter lake view."
Now that I'm a member of the Youyun Clan, I can travel very fast, and I have much more time than when I usually have to walk.
"Okay, okay." Nannan and Long'er nodded hurriedly.
Long'er rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, why don't you stop by my house?"
"Your house?"
Li Nianfan's eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea. "Where is your house?"
"My house is not far from Jingyue Lake, just under the sea at the estuary." Nannan immediately started to promote her, saying coquettishly, "My house is so beautiful and fun, let's go."
Li Nianfan's interest suddenly became stronger, and he said, "Under the sea? It's really good, but I'm afraid that good deeds don't have the effect of avoiding water."
"Brother, it's easy to avoid water, and the water-repellent beads are not worth much."
Long'er was so happy that he was in high spirits and urged: "There is no time to waste, hurry up and go to my house~"
Li Nianfan looked at Daji and asked: "Little Daji, what do you think?"
"I listen to you, young master." Daji put her hand around Li Nianfan's arm and leaned against him, her intention of following the husband's lead was obvious.
"Hahaha, then let's go enjoy the underwater world!" Li Nianfan laughed, and golden clouds appeared under his feet, and he rushed towards Jingyue Lake at lightning speed.
In just a few minutes, he arrived at the lake.
Except for some ice and snow on the lakeside, the entire Jingyue Lake has not changed much. The huge lake surface is still calm, and there is no frost. Only when the wind blows, the lake surface will be wrinkled.
Long Er took out a nearly transparent blue bead in her hand. As she cast a spell, the bead immediately emitted a halo of light, floated in the void, slowly rotated, and sank into the water bit by bit.
As the bead entered, the originally calm lake water slowly separated to both sides, forming a vacuum zone. The range was not small, it was a sphere with a radius of five meters.
"Brother, let's go!" Long Er waved excitedly, and immediately drove the escape light into the water.
Li Nianfan smiled slightly, and followed in the same way.
Entering the water, Li Nianfan looked at the underwater world, and suddenly felt like he was looking at the underwater world in an aquarium in his previous life. Of course, the feeling here is much better.
The water of Jingyue Lake is extremely clear, and entering the water makes this clearness even more vivid. Except for the occasional ripples, it is almost the same as outside. Looking up, the whole underwater world seems to be bright.
This beauty is very different from the shore, and even makes Li Nianfan's heart slightly touched.
As they went deeper, various fish began to appear, colorful and of different sizes. They swam around curiously and then quickly fled.
They could also see the mud and reefs under the water, and the green water plants in the mud swayed with the waves.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but come to the edge of the vacuum zone and stretched out his hand.
Suddenly, a cold feeling spread through his body along with his hand, and the water waves seemed to have life, flowing around his palm.
Li Nianfan quickly retracted his hand and covered it inside his clothes to keep warm. "It's really cold."
At this moment, his eyes paused and fell on a piece of mud. He said excitedly: "Big crab?"
Daji waved her hands in a very tacit manner, and the giant crab that was quietly curled up in the soil was wrapped in a circle of water and slowly pulled in front of everyone.
It raised its two large claws and looked at everyone anxiously.
"Wow, what fat big-breasted crabs!" Li Nianfan's eyes brightened and he couldn't help licking his lips. "The big-breasted crabs taste the best at this time of year."
Long'er frowned slightly. "Can this be eaten? It's far inferior to my seafood."
"You don't understand this. The big-breasted crabs are famous for their tender and fragrant meat. In terms of deliciousness alone, they are truly unique! You will be the first people in the world of immortal cultivation to eat crabs."
Li Nianfan was looking forward to it and continued, "How could I forget about the big-breasted crabs! Now that I suddenly remember it, I feel even more hungry."
"Young Master, there's another one over there." Daji said as she raised her hand and caught another one easily.
"Well done!"
Li Nianfan said with a smile, "Don't leave in a hurry, catch more and take them with you. Since we are visiting Long'er's house, it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed. I think Mr. Ao will not refuse this big crab as a delicacy."
...
At the same time, in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea,
an old man with messy hair stood in the main hall.
The old man had a pair of dragon horns on his head, but one of them was broken in half. His face was pale, his breath was weak, and he looked anxious.
Ao Cheng walked over quickly, and his face suddenly changed when he saw the old man, "Brother Yun, how did you become like this?"
"Brother Cheng, the South China Sea Dragon King Ao Yu has already betrayed the dragon clan. I risked my last breath to tell you to be careful!"
Ao Yun grabbed Ao Cheng, his tone was sad, and he actually spit out a mouthful of blood while coughing. He took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Now my dragon clan, the North China Sea Dragon Clan was destroyed in the catastrophe, but the South China Sea Dragon Clan colluded with the demon clan, causing the entire dragon clan to suffer heavy losses in the catastrophe! Now I can't do it anymore, the dragon clan can only rely on you!"
Ao Cheng's face sank, "Ao Yu actually betrayed the dragon clan?!"
"Ahem!" Ao Yun was almost paralyzed. He grabbed Ao Cheng and said hoarsely, "I'm definitely not going to survive. You should be careful."
At this moment, a big carp swam over quickly with its tail wagging.
"Urgent report, urgent report!"
"What's the matter?"
"The princess said that the master is coming to visit, and asked me to come quickly to inform and make preparations."
Ao Yun waved his hands repeatedly, "Send him away, send him away quickly, can't you see that we are reminiscing? This is the last moment of my life. Brother Cheng will not let anyone disturb me? It doesn't matter who comes!"
"The master is coming to visit?"
Ao Cheng suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, his face full of excitement and anxiety.
"Get ready! You must be well prepared!" He began to pace hurriedly in the hall, and suddenly looked up at Ao Yun who was already in a daze, and said: "Brother Yun, it's really unfortunate today. I'm sorry that I can't accompany you, the distinguished guest. How about you hold on for a while and take your leave first?"
"Puff!"
Ao Yun spit out blood again, trembling and pointing at Ao Cheng, almost unable to believe his ears, obviously hit hard.
He was betrayed and had nowhere to go to seek refuge with his old friend, but he got such treatment.
The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not the same as before!
He couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "You have changed, you have all changed!"
