Myriad Paths

Chapter 232: Banquet

Inexplicable...

Damn, all the charlatans in the world are the same.

However, Li Qi finally controlled himself, said goodbye to this person politely, and sped up to go to the teacher's cave.

After that, the road was smooth, but it still took several hours.

However, just as Li Qi was on his way...

——————————

"It's boring, really boring, a bunch of little bastards pretending to be polite, boring!" Zhu Fengdan shook his head in the cave, his tone was very unhappy.

But he saw thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in his hands, and every blade of grass and tree was clearly visible. He saw all the conflicts that Li Qi had with his fellow disciples before.

It's just really boring.

A bunch of children, like little adults, are calmer and more restrained than each other.

Fighting, what's the matter? Don't you have any youthful spirit?

Zhu Fengdan was very disappointed.

However, although he said so, he was actually satisfied.

The whole situation may be very subtle to the bystanders, and it feels a bit anticlimactic, but in fact it is just that Li Qi resolved it quite cleverly.

Zhu Fengdan remembered that the handsome man in white was called Yanke, and his path was quite interesting.

He was a human-ghost branch of the Zhu lineage. His temperament and ability made him naturally good at becoming a leader among the crowd. He could understand people's hearts and perceive the general trend. He was extremely talented, so he was accepted as a disciple by a great Zhu.

After accepting him, the great Zhu spent a lot of effort and paid a lot of money to find a small world with a special flow rate of cosmic light in order to help him go smoothly.

Then he asked someone to help him refine the heavenly way of this small world, overcome the special cosmic light in it, and allow the will of the outside world to descend into it through the arrangement of the great Zhu.

Then he gave this thing to Yanke, asking him to descend his will in it and control the "civilization" of this small world.

Through descending again and again, and shaking the direction of the civilization of the whole world again and again with only will and words, he gradually mastered the ability to manipulate the "general trend" in this way of learning.

There are also one billion people in a small world. They can come down with their will, without any ability, and influence history with words alone, so that one billion people can move in the direction they want.

Manipulating the course of history and artificially creating a trend is a special practice of the human ghost lineage, which is just suitable for Yanke's talent.

That small world is Yanke's foundation of Taoism.

Yanke proposed to fight with wisdom in this small world, in fact, he was preparing to ambush Li Qi. After all, he has been playing this for many years, but Li Qi is the first time to contact it, and he thinks he can't win anyway.

But Li Qi is more straightforward, saying directly that this kind of thing is not in line with his Tao, and he is determined not to accept it, and at the same time releases his own aura of the people.

How did Li Qi's aura of the people come from?

He accepted the cause and effect with the people, and received their gratitude and even worship. Although Li Qi is a lineage of the earth god, he did more things in the human ghost lineage, such as offering sacrifices to the heroic spirits of the White Rhino Army to help them return to reincarnation, and the worship he received for saving 100,000 people, plus the many causes and effects brought by a grand sacrifice.

It can be said that Li Qi has gone further than him in the lineage of human and ghost. He is still studying how to control the general trend in the laboratory, but Li Qi has actually affected the general trend of a state.

Therefore, after Li Qi showed his results, he said that he would never accept this method.

This is to deny his foundation from the root.

This is the root cause. Yan Ke has not really thought about his foundation.

This is his master, a great blessing, who gave it to him. He naturally thinks that it is right. This is his blind spot in thinking.

Originally, this is nothing. He will understand it naturally as he learns. It doesn't matter at all. When he slowly practices and understands all the cause and effect cycles of that small world, all these doubts can be answered. That is probably the arrangement of his master.

The future is all smooth.

But now it has been pointed out by Li Qi in advance.

It's similar to a person who has better grades than you saying that you did something wrong.

Then you will definitely think about it.

This thinking shook his original belief.

So, this shook his foundation for a moment, and he was cleverly forced by Li Qi to withdraw and go back to think about whether what he did before was right or not.

This is a good thing for him, so there will be no enmity after this incident, but it can also resolve the situation that blocked the road.

From Zhu Fengdan's perspective, this was all calculated by Li Qi, so he was very satisfied.

After meeting for only a few minutes, he immediately distinguished the other party's intentions and the different purposes and threats of the five people to himself.

First, he resolved the leading speaker and cleverly let the other party withdraw to anger the black and red man, and then defeated the man with force, so that the two women could be scared away.

So overall, Li Qi's vision and strategy are remarkable. Except for not dealing with the blind fortune teller, everything else is very good.

It was handled very well.

It's just that they didn't fight, which is really boring. If they fought, it would be more interesting.

Just when Zhu Fengdan was regretful, Li Qi finally came to the outside of the cave.

————————

After rushing for half a day, Li Qi looked up and finally saw the spiritual peak of his teacher.

To be honest...

It's no different from others.

It's not particularly unique, it feels ordinary, even more ordinary than others, just a bare mountain.

Others have very distinctive decorations, with all kinds of things.

But here...

Why is he just a bumpkin?

Is there a cave inside?

Li Qi walked into it curiously.

Walking into the mountain, Li Qi bent down and said, "Teacher! I'm here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery around him changed suddenly.

The surrounding area seemed to be endless void, pitch black, without any light at all.

But there was no feeling of falling, it was like floating in mid-air, unable to move.

Then, suddenly, a light lit up in front of his eyes, and Zhu Fengdan's figure appeared in front of him.

"Apprentice, are you here?" Zhu Fengdan appeared in this void.

Before Li Qi could say hello, he shook his head and sighed: "What's the matter with you? You've come back here and still think about being kind to others and solving problems every day. You can't do this. Why didn't you just beat them? Are you worried? Can’t I hold it?”

Li Qiquan pretended that he did not hear this.

He bowed obediently as a disciple, and then said to himself: "Teacher, in addition to returning to life this time, I have something important to inform you."

"Tch, serious, boring, tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Fengdan waved his hand, rolled his eyes, and waited for Li Qi to speak.

Who taught this apprentice how come he speaks and acts strictly without any trace of youthful passion?

He is only in his twenties. Even among ordinary people, he is still in the prime of life. How come he has become like this, without any anger at all.

But Li Qi didn't care about that and seriously told the story about the attack he encountered.

Then, he took out the dragon soul and the corpse of the man who called himself "Ji Ding" and presented them to Zhu Fengdan: "Teacher, please look at this."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Zhu Fengdan said with a bored expression: "There is something fishy behind this matter. Everyone knows it. Okay, just leave it to me."

He looked at Li Qi with an expression of hatred for steel: "Why do you, a child, worry about the country and the people every day? Should you worry about this kind of thing? Is it useful for you to worry? Really, not at all like me."

Li Qi lowered his head.

Although the exercises and techniques I practice are all given by my teacher... you have never taught me a day...

To be honest, all the common sense in my spiritual practice was taught by Shen Shuibi and I learned from reading books.

Basically, I rely on my own understanding throughout the process.

It's not normal for you...

After he finished cursing in his heart, Li Qi heard the teacher cough twice with an embarrassed expression.

Oh, I forgot he can read minds.

"Ahem, you kid is so unlovable. Forget it, I won't argue with you." Zhu Fengdan waved his hand.

Li Qi was ashamed.

No... can you still argue with me? I have a grand third-grade blessing, I don’t know how many years I have lived, and I am arguing with a twenty-year-old person?

No, you can't think about this in your mind.

Li Qi immediately put on a facelift and solemnly recited one, two, three, four, five silently, pretending that he had not thought of anything.

But at this time, Zhu Fengdan waved his hand.

But he saw the scenery around him changing.

Suddenly, Li Qi found himself sitting on a chair. There were many strange-shaped stones beside him, and he didn't know what they were used for.

Next to the stone, there were three tea trees, which were dying. The tea leaves were all bald, and they looked withered and yellow, as if they were about to die.

Li Qi picked two pieces and smelled them, and found nothing strange.

In the yard further away, there are many strange things piled up.

Magical weapons, utensils, rare objects, all kinds of weird materials, and my own game console are also listed. These things are almost piled into a hill, and I don't know how many there are.

This...is the teacher's residence?

Were those things outside stolen?

As soon as Li Qi thought this, an air cannon exploded on his head, leaving him stunned.

But there was no injury, just a thunderclap.

"How are you talking? Is that called robbing?! Treasures live in the world, and those who are destined to get them can get them. I am half-destined to this thing. I only played with it for a few days and then returned it later. It is not a robbery." Mr. Zhu held it in his hands. Holding a disc in his hands, he scolded Li Qi angrily.

After Li Qi returned to the country, he immediately bowed and replied: "The teacher is absolutely right, I am superficial!"

Mr. Zhu simply sat down with Yuan Pan in his hands: "Forget it, I won't talk to you about this. It's useless to talk like that. I might as well let you find some youthful passion."

"Are you worried about the Jade Rabbit now? I see that this is the only thing left in you that looks like a young man. I will give you a task. After completing this task, I will take you to visit Luofu's cave. How about ?”

After hearing this, Li Qi was excited and immediately stood up straight: "Teacher, please give me your instructions!"

"Go to the banquet." Mr. Zhu said, narrowing his eyes.

"The banquet I invited you to was not a lie. It was held by a dream teller. Its original purpose was to divine opportunities and dangers for you children, so that you can seek good luck and avoid disasters. It's just that those people borrowed this thing. You just want to trick me and make me lose face.”

"Since you have blocked those children's tricks, let us master and apprentice go to the banquet in a big way to gain some opportunities for you. We are not allowed to hide in the crowd, avoid disputes, and give verbal advice. If someone comes to provoke, then You smash his head!"

"If you do this, after the banquet, I will take you to visit Luofu's cave, and you can go find the rabbit by yourself, how about that?"

Zhu Fengdan said boldly, staring at Li Qi to see his reaction.

When Li Qi heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey my teacher's orders! It's just that, teacher, the mastermind behind the scenes..."

Zhu Fengdan was even more straightforward: "Why are you worried about those things? Don't I know better than you that there is a dark hand behind the scenes? Children should just enjoy their childhood honestly. If the sky falls, I will support you as your master. Just wait for the envoys to be formed and then go to study in Tang."

"As for those who want to plot against you, I will twist their heads off. You don't need to worry about it."

Li Qi was speechless and had to salute, then asked: "When are we leaving?"

Zhu Fengdan smiled happily when he heard it: "Right now! Let's go and slap them in the face!"

Zhu Fengdan has always been a man of swift and decisive actions.

He grabbed Li Qi directly and waved his hand. A large car drove over automatically. He threw Li Qi to the back seat and sat in the driver's seat. He whipped the whip fiercely, and two...

Uh, two iron-eating beasts appeared in front of the car.

Li Qi wiped his sweat. The teacher's aesthetic taste is really...

No matter what is pulling the car, the speed is still quite fast. The car began to move towards the target quickly.

Inside Wushen Mountain, fast flight is prohibited, and the space is also protected by prohibitions, making it difficult to fold the space for transmission, so most people have to rely on their legs or vehicles to travel.

Li Qi sat in the vehicle and watched the teacher happily spank the iron-eating beast's butt.

The meat shook.

A little cute.

I have to say, it is so fat and runs so fast...

Wait, this aura.

This iron-eating beast is a fifth-grade one! ?

Li Qi immediately put away his disrespect, sat in the back honestly, and fell into deep thought.

Since the teacher told me not to worry, he would handle these things, and I just enjoy my childhood, so let it be.

Don't think about the conflict between Wushen Mountain and Tang State, anyway, I can't control it, just leave it to the teacher.

Moreover, that charlatan...

It seems that he was right, and I actually went to the banquet.

Damn, I hate these riddlers.

Forget it, let's think about what I am most worried about now...

Miss Shen... What happened?

Since the grand sacrifice, her attitude seems to have changed a little.

Although it is only four or five days away from the grand sacrifice, many things happened in these four or five days, and each of them made Li Qi feel a little unfamiliar.

What is the reason?

Since it happened after the grand sacrifice, it means that the incident also happened during that period.

Before the grand sacrifice, Shen Shuibi even rushed to the altar to heal herself, which means that nothing has gone wrong.

After the grand sacrifice, was there anything important during that period?

When the third-grade attacked, the teacher and senior Yun Fang stopped him.

Then, senior Yun Fang said, "Wu Shenshan and Luofu Niangniang are not of the same mind."

Wait, is it because of this?

I also doubted whether I was a fellow practitioner with Shen Shuibi.

Shen Shuibi, did she also have this doubt?

And it was a more serious doubt.

For example... Wu Shenshan used me and turned her into a bargaining chip to persuade Luofu Niangniang... something like that?
