During this period, Liu Daye went to the Tutu Temple to offer incense every day. The verdict three days ago had a profound impact on him. Unlike Zheng Li, Liu Daye knew clearly that it was not a 'dream'.
However, the matter did not become a big deal in the end. Liu Yuanqi only informed a few old people in the village about the snake demon, and Liu Daye's wife also knew about it. In addition, the people in Daliuzhuang only knew that Liu Daye was in the forest that day. What kind of beast was encountered.
Because Liu Yuanqi and the others said to the outside world that there were monsters in the mountains next to Daliuzhuang Village. How could they dare to say such a thing?
"Brother Liu, it's useless for you to burn incense and make offerings to Lord Tutu every day." Fang Jian said to Liu Daye from the side.
Liu Daye turned around, looked at Fang Jian and said, "What's wrong? The land god doesn't like it?"
Fang Jian said with a smile: "The rules of heaven stipulate that all gods in heaven can only enjoy the worship of the Eight Festivals of Heaven and Earth. If you burn incense and offer it to the Lord of Earth, he will not accept it and will not dare to accept it."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, Liu Daye was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Xiao Fang, how do you know this? Is this true?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "I have read the book. Of course I saw it in the book. As for whether it is true, who knows?"
When Liu Daye heard this, he immediately said: "This may not be true, right? There would rather be more of this kind of thing. Even if it is true, the land master would not dare to accept it. At least I have what I want."
Fang Jian smiled slightly when he heard this and stopped trying to persuade Liu Daye. This is a very common human mentality.
Mortals don't care whether you, a god, accept incense or not. Anyway, I want to offer you incense. Even if you don't accept it, it's not my fault. My heart is very pious.
While Liu Daye continued to burn incense and make offerings, Fang Jian saw a flash of inspiration in front of the Tutu Temple, and then two figures fell outside the Tutu Temple.
One of them is a Nascent Soul female cultivator wearing a purple rhombus black gauze skirt with a willow waist and an oval face. She is none other than the snake demon Jiang Lan.
The other one is a Yangshen realm man wearing a colorful brocade robe of three colors, a golden flower crown on his head, a sturdy back and a broad face. It seems that this man is Jiang Lan's husband 'Xu Bao'.
Both of them used magic power to hide their figures, so Liu Daye didn't see them even if they were right in front of him.
However, Jiang Lan and her husband Xu Bao saw Fang Jian, and Xu Bao probably knew from Jiang Lan the situation of Fang Jian's 'fight' with her that day, so he was very polite to Fang Jian.
Xu Bao and Jiang Lan both bowed their heads to Fang Jian, and Fang Jian returned the bow.
As for Liu Daye who was offering incense below, Jiang Lan and Xu Bao showed deep hatred on their faces, but they did not do anything. Instead, they turned around and turned into a spiritual light and flew into the earth temple monastery.
Fang Jian stood outside and watched, with a smile on his face. Jiang Lan had already sent a letter to call her husband back. I am afraid that she came today to find the land god to fulfill the promise of 'returning the sun'.
Sure enough, half an hour after Liu Daye finished the incense and said hello to Fang Jian and left, Jiang Lan and Xu Bao flew out of the Earth Temple with solemn expressions. This time, they didn't even say hello to Fang Jian. , and then flew directly into the Longlu Mountain.
The Earth God Su Yan also flew out of the Earth Temple shortly after. He looked at the direction where Jiang Lan and Xu Bao left with a frown on his face.
When Su Yan withdrew his gaze, he happened to meet Fang Jian's eyes. Then he cupped his hands towards Fang Jian and said, "Fellow Taoist, why don't you come and sit in the monastery for a while? How about that?"
Fang Jian pointed to Daliuzhuang not far away and said, "I can't just disappear now."
Su Yan nodded and said: "Then I will go and sit in fellow Taoist's room. Fellow Taoist should not object, right?"
"How can a poor Taoist have any objection when the Lord of Land comes to visit this humble abode?" Fang Jian said with a smile.
Su Yan nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist, wait a moment."
Then Su Yan turned around and flew back to the monastery, and soon flew out again, "Fellow Taoist, please take a look." Su Yan stretched out his hand for Fang Jian to see, and Fang Jian looked into his hand, but it turned out to be a box of Lingcha tea leaves.
"Last time I went to the Taoist friend's house, I saw that there seemed to be no spiritual tea in the Taoist friend's house." Su Yan smiled and said, "I will prepare my own spiritual tea this time."
Fang Jiandao: "But Pindao is very poor and cannot afford to drink spiritual tea. Since the Lord of the Land has good tea, Pindao will have to be blessed by the God of the Earth today."
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking." Su Yan shook his head and smiled.
Earth walls, mud tiles, and fenced courtyards, this is Fang Jian's residence in Daliuzhuang.
In the hall, Fang Jian and Su Yan, the god of earth, sat opposite each other in front of a brand new octagonal table. Su Yan was making tea in a clay pot on the table.
With the blessing of Su Yan's magic power, a flame was burning brightly under the pottery pot, and the spring water in the pottery pot gradually began to boil.
"I'm riding a tiger this time." Su Yan said to Fang Jian while making tea.
"Oh?" Fang Jian said in surprise: "Is it about the snake demon?"
Su Yan nodded and said: "Mr. Zheng made a big promise to others, but how can I, the God of the Earth, do something like returning Yang?"
"Jiang Lan's fellow Taoist is also back. I think he must have seen him just now." Su Yan said.
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, there is a faint immortal energy coming out of this person. It seems that the day when he becomes an immortal is not far away."
"That's the trouble." Su Yan said: "The two of them came to me just now, and they had the same meaning in their words. They wanted their son to return to the world, otherwise they would definitely kill Liu Daye to avenge his son."
Fang Jian asked: "Aren't they afraid of heaven's laws?"
Su Yan said: "Jiang Lan's husband, that is, Xu Bao, said that if his son cannot return to the world, even if he does not become an immortal in this life, even if his soul is gone, he will destroy the entire Daliuzhuang to bury his son with him."
Fang Jian said: "Is this threatening you?"
"Absolutely." Su Yan said: "It can be regarded as a threat, but not necessarily."
Fang Jian looked at Su Yan, and Su Yan continued: "It's more like the desperate plan of parents who have lost their children to die together."
"And..." Su Yan said: "The fact that Xu Bao is expected to become an immortal shows that he is not a person who does many evil things. As an immortal official in heaven, I should do my best to help the creatures under my rule with a compassionate heart."
Fang Jian asked: "What is Tu Tu Gong's plan?"
Su Yan said: "I'm thinking of a way. Apart from the Ten Palaces of Yama, is there any other way to return the little snake demon to Yang without violating the laws of heaven?"
The tea was ready. Su Yan made a cup of tea for Fang Jian and handed it to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian took a sip of the spiritual tea from the teacup. The taste was naturally not as good as the spiritual tea he drank in heaven, but in the eyes of an earth god, this spiritual tea was already very precious.
"The worst-case scenario is that if this matter is not handled properly, Daliuzhuang will be destroyed by the couple. I will not be able to escape the involvement. It is inevitable that I will be detained and questioned by the heaven." Su Yan said.
Fang Jian said: "Then we can report to Nantian Mansion and ask Nantian Mansion to send a general to kill the two demons Xu Bao and Jiang Lan in advance."
Su Yan heard the words and said: "Demons are also creatures of the three realms, and they must not be killed indiscriminately. Besides, it seems simple to kill the two demons, but the long-term impact is detrimental to the heaven. Both the human race and the demon race are creatures under the rule of the heaven, so why? You can kill them at every turn, but favor one over the other?"
"..." Fang Jian opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
Su Yan saw that Fang Jian was hesitant to speak, and immediately asked: "Fellow Taoist, don't you agree with what I said?"
"No, I agree." Fang Jian said, "You are right."
After saying that, Fang Jian put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "The Lord of the Land generously invited me to drink tea, and I can't repay the kindness."
"Oh?" Su Yan was slightly startled, and was about to wave his hands to say goodbye, but suddenly realized something, and immediately looked at Fang Jian and asked, "Does Taoist friend have a way to relieve my worries?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "There is a way, but there is no guarantee that it will work. It depends on the opportunities of fellow Taoist and those two fellow Taoists."
When Su Yan heard this, he immediately stood up, bowed his hands to Fang Jian and said, "Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."
Fang Jian said: "Do you know about the Great Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin?"
Su Yan solemnly said: "Of course I know, this is the god in charge of the underworld in my heaven."
After Su Yan finished speaking, he immediately looked at Fang Jian and said, "What do you mean, fellow Taoist? Please ask Emperor Fengdu for a decree to return the little snake demon to the sun?"
Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin is in charge of the Underworld, and his status is only lower than that of Emperor Dongyue. If there is the decree of Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin, returning the little snake demon to Yang is not just a matter of words?
"No, no." Su Yan immediately waved his hand and said, "I am just a small earth god. I can't even see the Tenth Palace of Hell, let alone the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu? What's more, the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu is currently participating in the Peach Conference, and there is no way I can See you."
Fang Jian said with a faint smile: "Although fellow Taoist fellow Taoist can't see the King of Hell of the Ten Palaces and the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, you can go to Nantian Mansion."
"Huh?" Su Yan was startled when he heard this, then his eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his thigh and said, "Yes, I can go to Nantian Mansion."
As the immediate boss of the immortal officials in these states, he can go to Nantian Mansion.
Su Yan also immediately understood what Fang Jian meant. Fang Jian asked him to take Jiang Lan and Xu Bao to ask for the decree of Nanzhan Buzhou Tianjun Mansion. If there was the decree of Nantian Mansion as a guarantee...
"However, Nantian Mansion does not have the authority to issue decrees to return people to Yang, right? The Underworld and Nantian Mansion do not belong to each other." Su Yan said.
Fang Jian shook his head and said: "That's not what I mean. There is a 'Yang Body' in Fengdu. As long as there is a soul and soul, this Yang body can return Yang. If there is a decree from Nantian Mansion, go and ask for a Yang body, and then bring it back." When the little snake demon's soul merges with this Yang body, it can also achieve the purpose of returning Yang."
When he took the Ming Emperor's soul from the Purple Qi Star, he used the Yang body taken from Fengdu to return it to Yang.
It's difficult to use the underworld procedure to return Yang, but isn't it easy to ask a Yang body to come over and return Yang? And it will not violate the laws of heaven. Of course, the premise is that Nantian Mansion is willing to issue a decree.
However, Su Yan was already excited at this moment, "This method is good, this method is good!"
As Su Yan spoke, he bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your guidance. I will give these spiritual teas to you to express my gratitude."
After saying that, Su Yan apologized to Fang Jian and said, "Without further delay, I will take the two demons to Nantian Mansion immediately. Fellow Taoist, I'll excuse you for now."
Fang Jian chuckled and said, "Just go and do some business, Lord Landlord. There is plenty of time for tea, so this day is not enough."
Su Yan apologized again and again, then bid farewell to Fang Jian, picked up the Earth Escape Technique and flew towards Longlu Mountain.
Fang Jian waved his sleeves to put away the spiritual tea, then a fairy light flashed around his body, and the next moment he flew into the sky and arrived at Nanzhan Buzhou Tianjun Mansion.
