In the quadrangle.

Li Nianfan held the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand, brewed tea in the cup, stroked the water with the lid of the cup very particularly, and then blew lightly into the cup, and then took a sip slowly.

He sighed with emotion: "In the winter, it is still comfortable to drink a sip of hot tea, and at this time it is basically goodbye to popsicles and happy water." ”

Of course, this sentence is naturally not applicable to the two little ghosts, Nan Nan and Long Er, who are holding a popsicle in their mouths and licking them happily.

At this moment, Long Er seemed to remember something and said, "Brother, the gourd vine in the backyard has produced another gourd." ”

"Oh, really?"

Li Nianfan put down the teacup, and then walked to the backyard.

"It's really coming out!" he approached with a smile on his lips, only to see a golden gourd hanging from the gourd vine.

The golden halo reflects the light in the sun, the size is similar to the purple gold gourd on Li Nianfan's waist, but the appearance is not the same, this golden gourd sells very well, and at first glance, you will definitely feel that it is an ornament made of gold.

Li Nianfan took it off and took it in his hand, but he didn't feel much weight.

"This gourd vine gourd is very powerful, it can't be some kind of powerful spirit plant, right?"

Li Nianfan had a whim, "This is the seed that the Gu Fairy gave himself, and it is normal for the gourd to be a little extraordinary, and it is okay to force it, but it shouldn't be too awesome." ”

Back in the courtyard, Li Nianfan was thinking about what to do with the golden gourd.

"Squeak. ”

The door of the courtyard opened.

Daji and Huofeng quietly walked in.

Li Nianfan couldn't help but smile and said, "You two, you sneaked out early to play crazy?"

"Hee-hee, Childe, we've brought you something back. ”

Daji smiled, then raised his hand, took out the golden stone, and handed it to Li Nianfan.

"Gold?" Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, took the stone and looked at it in his hand.

"It's quite heavy, it's denser than gold!" Li Nianfan frowned slightly, then turned the stone in his hand, and looked at it carefully in the sun.

The surface of this stone is very smooth, although there are no edges and corners, but it is not regular at all, the lines are crooked, undulating, but it does not look messy, and it is somewhat comfortable.

Li Nianfan was curious: "Where did you get it?"

Daji said: "I feel a little interesting, so I exchanged it with others." ”

"It's really interesting, and I don't know if this stone is naturally formed or acquired. Li Nianfan smiled and nodded, "It's quite amazing." ”

He put away the stone and couldn't help but say, "Little Daji, I found out that after you started cultivating immortals, you couldn't be idle. ”

Daji's cheeks were slightly red, and she said shyly: "I just want to do more to relieve my son's boredom." ”

"Hahaha, human nature, don't talk about you, even I can't be idle now. Li Nianfan laughed heartily and said: "If you have a big ability, you naturally don't like to stick to one place, if you keep being bored in this courtyard, it will not be beautiful." ”

The traffic in the world of cultivating immortals is underdeveloped, and it is dangerous everywhere, before he was just a mortal, so he could only stay in one place, and he also moved around the three points of the courtyard, Jingyue Lake and Luoxian City, but now he has become a Youyun clan, and he can't be idle.

Thinking of this, Li Nianfan couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately he had become a holy body of merit, otherwise it would be difficult for some strong people to forcibly let Daji accompany him to nest in this small courtyard.

Daji hurriedly spoke: "Childe, this is the most beautiful place in the world, even if I stay here forever, I am willing to enjoy it!"

The tone is sincere, and the voice is extremely sincere.

Long Er and Nan Nan were also taken aback, thinking that Li Nianfan was going to drive them away, tears broke out in their eyes, and they quickly ran over and hugged Li Nianfan's thighs, "We too, my brother's courtyard is a hundred times better than the whole world combined!

"What a stupid thing to say. Li Nianfan was amused, and he was also very touched in his heart, scratched the noses of the two of them and said with a smile: "How can the small courtyard be compared with the vast and vast world outside, the canary is trapped in a cage and still depressed, let alone a character like us who can soar in the nine heavens?"

He stood up and continued: "Actually, I can't be idle, so let's go out in a group." ”

This is the same as ordinary people who have a car and don't have a car, when they don't have a car, they can only be bored in one place, but if they have a car, it's convenient, where can they stay.

"Hang out?

Nan Nan and Long Er suddenly came to their senses again, laughing so much that their teeth bared out.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Let me think about where to go first." ”

In the past, I was waiting for guests to come to the door, but now I can take the initiative to go out and play, and this moment shows the importance of networking, because I have a wide range of friends, there are more places to go, and I can also visit old friends.

The carp palace just went some time ago, so I didn't go, the Qianlong Immortal Dynasty was too close, and I didn't go, and there was ...... Linxian Dao Palace, Qingyun Valley, or Xia Dynasty.

"By the way, let's go to the Xia Dynasty! ”

Li Nianfan's eyes lit up slightly, "Look at what Zhou Yunwu has put the country into, and Meng Junliang, didn't he go to open a school?

Moreover, the Xia Dynasty is a mortal country, looking at the people in it, it will make Li Nianfan feel more cordial.

No matter where they went to play, Long Er and Nan Nan nodded without thinking about it: "Okay, okay." ”

Daji also smiled and said, "I listen to Childe." ”

"Let's go, then. Li Nianfan's body began to have the light of merit condensed, "Come on, come on, go to the clouds, take off." ”

Golden auspicious clouds soared out of the courtyard and shot straight into the sky.

Everyone is their own person, Li Nianfan naturally can't be treated badly, so the golden auspicious clouds have risen greatly, which can be described as Fang Yun, which is more than enough for everyone to lie down.

Meritorious, capricious.

On the clouds, Li Nianfan's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Daji, you gave me a golden stone, and a golden gourd happened to grow on my side, this is fate, do you like this gourd?"

Daji looked at the golden gourd, there was a flash of light in her beautiful eyes, she could feel that this gourd was extremely important to her, and said, "I like it." ”

Li Nianfan smiled, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

"This ......" Daji took the gourd flattered, and said movingly: "Thank you, thank you, childe." ”

Her eyes are very good-looking, but at this time, she is smiling into a line, and the eyeliner is very long, which makes her look suddenly a lot more feminine, which suddenly makes Li Nianfan's heart beat faster.

Li Nianfan smiled and said, "What's polite with me." ”

After a pause, he continued, "Okay, since I'm idle, why don't we play my latest invention game together." ”

While speaking, Li Nianfan took out a pile of square wooden strips from his arms, the wooden strips are very thin, the workmanship is very exquisite, and it is not the kind of hardwood, it is the kind of cork veneer that can be twisted and turned, and it feels very good.

In the past few days, everyone knows that Li Nianfan is tinkering with this thing, but after watching it for a long time, he can't see what is the reason, but he guesses in his heart that this thing must be extraordinary.

Nan Nan was curious: "Brother Nianfan, what kind of game is this?"

She looked at the wooden strip and saw that it had strange stripes carved on it, and she couldn't read it at all.

Li Nianfan said with a smile: "Playing cards, a very simple game, you will be able to teach it as soon as you are taught." ”

Speaking of which, he is also helpless.

Li Nianfan has never met an opponent when playing chess, even if Daji plays chess with him now, it is not enough to make him serious, which is very painful, and he can only redevelop a game, which is the birth of playing cards.

Due to material constraints, playing cards were much more complicated to make than chess pieces, but fortunately it was finally completed.

After a while, bursts of playful laughter began to be heard on the golden auspicious clouds.

The speed of Xiangyun is not fast or slow, when it arrived at the Xia Dynasty, it took more than half an hour, in order not to cause a sensation, Li Nianfan still stopped at a place outside the city, and then walked into the city.

The Xia Dynasty has changed greatly from the last time it came, and the degree of prosperity can be described as a day and a place.

The last time Li Nianfan came, because of the impact of the plague and war, the entire city seemed to fall into a dead silence, only those who escaped from the city, but did not enter the city, and there was no hope on everyone's faces.

Nowadays, even if the weather is cold, the caravans and people at the city gate are still continuous, and it is not difficult to see from their eyes that they love this country deeply, and when they talk about it, they are full of expectations for outsiders.

On the city wall, there are still some soldiers standing, but the number is much less, just maintaining a simple order, in the high sky, from time to time there are immortal cultivators shuttling by, obviously with the Xia Dynasty has a good friendship.

Even the city gate has been renovated, and the atmosphere is magnificent, the city gate is wide open, and there are two soldiers standing at the gate, who can enter the city after a simple interrogation.

Entering the city, the streets are full of traffic, and the stalls on both sides are very lively.

This kind of liveliness is different from the liveliness of Luoxian City, the stalls are not arranged randomly, most of them are shops, which appear more standardized and neat, the roads are clean and smooth, and eighty percent are similar to the existence of 'chengguan' in management.

Along the way, Li Nianfan couldn't stop nodding his head, and couldn't help but praise: "Zhou Yunwu's guy is really good at governance." ”

Today's Xia Dynasty actually gave Li Nianfan a feeling of being a metropolis in the immortal cultivation world, prosperous and prosperous.

While walking, Li Nianfan's footsteps paused slightly, and his face showed an interested look, "Xia Dynasty Bookstore? What kind of bookstore is the Immortal Cultivation Realm?"

He smiled and stepped into the bookstore.

The bookstore is not big, and the owner is an old man with half-white hair, holding his beard in one hand and a book in the other.

Seeing Li Nianfan and the others coming in, he got up with a smile and greeted him: "Welcome, are you buying books or reading books?"

Li Nianfan said: "Just take a look." ”

He noticed that many people in the bookstore were sitting on the floor with books in their hands, looking at them in fascination.

This bookstore gives him the feeling that it is a free library, and the owner is not afraid of losing money in this way.

Li Nianfan asked curiously: "Old man, if you give people to watch it for free like this, aren't you afraid that others will just look at it and not buy it?"

"Hahaha, I'm really not afraid. ”

The old man smiled slightly, and said: "Those who can stay here for a long time to read books are also locals, now that the Xia Dynasty is prosperous, and there are constant merchants coming and going, they don't have time to stay here all day to read, so if they want to read all the time, they can only buy books and go back, and I promise the old man, if they read my books here, eighty percent of them will voluntarily pay for them." ”

I didn't expect this old man to be a businessman, and he knew that it was free first and then charged, which was amazing.

Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly, "So confident?"

"That's right, who made my book here!" said the old man with a smile on his face, "You are outsiders, I might as well show you around." ”

The old man looked old, but he was quite energetic, and soon took Li Nianfan to the bookshelf.

On the shelves, there are many duplicate books, and there are not many types of books.

"Childe, look at this "Journey to the West", the author of this book, Wu Chengen, is definitely an immortal, otherwise how could he write such a fascinating story of gods and ghosts?"

"There is also this "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra", this Shennong is a saint in the world, I don't know how many lives have been saved, if it weren't for him, where would the Xia Dynasty have today? It would have become a dead city a long time ago!

"Needless to say, "The Art of War", written by an anonymous god, this is the key to my Xia Dynasty's victory in a hundred battles, buy it back for children to learn, and you will definitely be able to be a general in the future!"

"There is also this "Westward Journey", which is the perception and harvest of the westward journey written by my Xia Dynasty military advisor and contemporary Confucian, and it also makes people benefit a lot from reading it. ”

......

The old man is particularly respectful of these books, and he is interested in introducing them one by one, and I don't know if he is so diligent in introducing them, and his eyes are flashing with the brilliance of pilgrimage.

Li Nianfan breathed a sigh of relief, he noticed that eighty percent of the books on the bookshelf had something to do with him, either they were told by themselves, or Meng Junliang processed them according to what he said, but he also obeyed his own instructions, did not mention his name, and knew that if he used an anonymous name instead, his son could be taught.

The old man finally sighed and said excitedly: "It is these books that have saved the Xia Dynasty and the people! They are the foundation of inheritance!"

Li Nianfan nodded thoughtfully, and exclaimed, "Old man, you said it well." ”

The old man hit the railroad while it was hot: "Do you want to buy a few copies?" ”

"Hehe, that's not necessary. Li Nianfan shook his head.

The old man immediately fell into a stupor, obviously not expecting Li Nianfan to refuse.

He was stunned and couldn't help but say: "Childe, respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue that everyone praises, I'm so old, I'm so old, I've done everything to tell you, there is no credit and hard work, if you don't buy some, it really makes me a little difficult to do." ”

"Old man, just kidding. Li Nianfan laughed, and then said: "Give me a set of each of these books, support the genuine version, and start with me." ”

"Childe is magnificent, Childe is bright! I can see at first glance that you are not an ordinary person!"

The old man's spirit suddenly became more sufficient, and he began to wrap up in high spirits.

Li Nianfan accepted the book, left a souvenir, and prepared to go out.

At this moment, an old man stepped in and said to the bookstore owner: "Old man Lin, it's almost time to get out of school, let's go, let's go and pick up my grandson together!"

The bookstore owner smiled with a smile on his face: "Let's go, let's go." ”

"Yo hoo, you're doing a big business. The old man laughed and quipped, then looked at Li Nianfan, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he watched Li Nianfan and the others walk out in a daze.

The bookstore owner frowned slightly, "Old man Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"It's him, it's him, it's definitely him!"

Old man Sun hurriedly rushed out, constantly looking for it in the crowd.

"Who is he?"

"It's Shennong! can't be wrong, it was here in the first place, my son was going to be arrested and quarantined, I didn't want to, he just appeared!" Old man Sun was so excited that his eyes were red, and he muttered: "He told me that he is not an immortal, he is a mortal, but a plague...... He can save!"

"Are you sure you're right?"

Old man Lin's pupils widened suddenly, goosebumps instantly bulged all over his body, and he looked at the direction of Li Nianfan's disappearance like a statue, regretting and excited, "I actually talked to Shennong, I actually collected money from my benefactor, I ...... Hey!"
