"It's open! It's open!"

Everyone was delighted and looked at Lin Mufeng in surprise.

Taoist Tianyan was also shocked. His dim eyes suddenly became bright. The chess game appeared in his mind. He kept muttering, "So that's it, so that's it, I understand, I understand!"

Lin Mufeng looked into the secret realm and said, "Daoyou, come in with us."

"No, I've got what I want, I'll wait for you outside." Taoist Tianyan waved his hand. He was a little absent-minded. He found a corner casually, sat cross-legged, and kept deducing the chess game in his mind.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist." The others said a few polite words to Lin Mufeng, then turned into a light and hurriedly walked into the secret realm.

Lin Mufeng and Old Man Sun looked at each other and said solemnly, "Let's go in too. The master has helped us here, but if we still can't complete the task he asked us to do, we will be too ashamed to see him!"

...

Five days passed quietly.

On this day, the sky was already dark, but Li Nianfan took Daji out, contrary to his usual behavior.

Because today is the annual Shengyuan Festival, and the night is also the most lively time.

Standing on the mountain, Li Nianfan looked down and saw that countless lights had been lit up in Luoxian City, like a red ocean. The festivity could be felt from a distance.

"Let's go." Li Nianfan took Daji and went straight down the mountain.

"Ding ding ding——"

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from Luoxian City.

Entering Luoxian City, every household is decorated with lanterns and there are stalls along the road. The colorful lanterns illuminate the whole street. There are also many small toys for children to play with and snacks such as candy.

The children are surrounded in front of the stalls, their eyes are shining, biting their fingers, showing their eager eyes.

The adults follow behind them, showing helpless bitter smiles, but still pay money readily, in exchange for the children's happy smiles.

Continue forward, in an open space in the middle of the road, there are six-person juggling groups, as well as lion and dragon dance teams, attracting countless people to watch, and cheers one after another.

Li Nianfan smiled and said to Daji: "How is it, lively, right?"

I remember that when I came here for the first time, Li Nianfan was really fascinated by the liveliness of Shengyuan Festival. It was much more interesting than watching the Spring Festival Gala at home in my previous life.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that mortals could live so comfortably." Daji looked at all this curiously, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

This was her first time in the human world, and such a big scene really shocked her.

Li Nianfan shook his head and said: "That's wrong, what's wrong with mortals? It is precisely because we only have a hundred years of time that we understand the beauty of life better and will work hard to make our lives happy and wonderful. How you want to live depends on yourself, not on your identity."

He wanted to correct Daji's idea.

In the world of immortal cultivation, people naturally envy the high and mighty immortal cultivators, but ordinary people also have their own way of living, so they should not envy anyone.

A trace of shock appeared in Daji's eyes. She looked at Li Nianfan with her beautiful eyes, took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Daji will remember the young master's teachings."

There was a turbulent wave in her heart. Li Nianfan's words were like thunder, constantly echoing in her mind, making her vaguely grasp something, but it was not quite real.

The master's state of mind has indeed reached an extraordinary level. Being able to follow the master, even if it is just to listen to one or two words of teaching, is an incomparable gain.

"It's not a lesson, just a few words, just treat it as chicken soup." Li Nianfan said casually.

"Chicken soup?" Daji was slightly stunned, not knowing why.

She was a little frustrated. It seemed that her understanding was not enough. There was still a long way to go. I couldn't understand many of the master's words.

Walking along the street, a river in front of me passed through Luoxian City and meandered into the distance.

Above the river was a stone arch bridge, surrounded by many lanterns of different colors, and under the bridge was a lantern cruise ship. Countless men and women were reciting poems and making couplets here, pretending to be elegant.

"Sir, would you like to have a cup of tea?"

"Hey, sir, come up and listen to some music."

The chirping voices came from the tower opposite the arch bridge, which aroused endless reverie.

Daji looked at the tower with flashing lights and couldn't help frowning. She felt a little unhappy and asked curiously, "Sir, what is that place?"

Li Nianfan's mouth twitched, and then said, "Uh... a place for men and women to discuss cooperation."

The top floor of the tower.

An old man in a black cloak was squinting his eyes and looking at the people coming and going below with a gloomy look.

His thin and long fingers held a wine bottle and tasted it carefully.

Behind him was a big red bed, on which lay a naked girl. Her eyes were wide open, still showing the fear and unwillingness she felt before her death. She had already lost all life.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes suddenly focused, staring at the woman in white in the crowd, his eyes flashing with greed, licking his tongue and said, "I didn't expect that there is such a beauty in the mortal world!"

Behind him, a disciple also saw Daji, and was immediately shocked. He said quickly, "Master, I will go and catch her now!"

The old man sneered, "The best cauldron, of course, can't be taken away by mortals."

But the next moment, his brows suddenly wrinkled, his eyes flashed with doubt and uncertainty, "Wait a minute!"

The disciple was also stunned and said in surprise, "That mortal boy actually knows Emperor Luo?"

The old man said in a low voice, "Follow him and watch what happens!"

...

Luo Huang was visiting the lantern festival with Zhong Xiu and Luo Shiyu. When he saw Li Nianfan, he was immediately delighted and hurried over to greet him.

"Young Master Li, Miss Daji, you are here to visit the lantern festival as well."

Li Nianfan nodded and said with a smile, "Well, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."

"Hahaha, yes, what a coincidence!" Emperor Luo laughed and seemed a little excited. He presented a treasure and said, "Young Master Li, I know a place that is high above the ground and can overlook the hustle and bustle of the whole city. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Li Nianfan pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said, "No, I heard that a sect will come to recruit disciples today, and I want to go and have a look."

Emperor Luo nodded and said, "So that's where Young Master Li wanted to go. I just happened to be planning to go there too. Why don't we go together?"

"Thank you for the trouble." Li Nianfan nodded with a smile.
