Chapter 281 The Path of the Rabbit
Yes, Li Qi wants to start a war.
"War...?" Shen Shuibi seemed to want to frown.
Unfortunately, the body and face of the Holy Flame Clan were very stiff, without any expression, so she couldn't frown.
"Well, war, after all, it's impossible to take back this world through negotiations, right? And if you want to take action, it's impossible to leave it all to us, right?" Li Qi smiled.
"If they want to take back their own way and rebuild their own way, they can't rely on others. They can only take it back with their own strength, and we can only help them."
"The person before will definitely not be willing to give it up directly, so they can only resort to violence."
"War is inevitable, and we can't help them fight. This war is a disaster for the Holy Flame Realm and an obstacle to their way."
Li Qi said in a relaxed tone.
Shen Shuibi nodded.
Indeed.
What Li Qi said is right.
The way of the Tao can only be walked by oneself, even for the world and the race. If you want to get rid of the Tao disputes of the immortals, you must fight for yourself.
"If that's the case... then how do we make money?" Shen Shuibi was puzzled.
If Li Qi had such an intention, then the speed of making money was too slow.
Just selling skills and magic weapons, not to mention where these goods should come from and how to price them, this kind of thing can't be faster than directly occupying the Holy Flame Realm by force and then enslaving them.
If you really want to make money, what you should do now is to find out the other party's power, and then see if you can start, or find a way to drive the other party away and then seize the Holy Flame Realm.
Now what about arms dealers? There is really no pattern, and it's slow to make money.
"Don't understand, Yu, war, famine, disease, are always the most profitable situations, there is no exception." Li Qi smiled and said: "Look, what is the source of wealth?"
"Labor." Shen Shuibi replied.
She also knew this. The source of all value comes from labor. Even if it is raw materials, someone has to dig them out and process them to be valuable.
"We plunder, but we are just plundering the wealth accumulated by their previous labor. That is a matter of digging roots. It is too much of a loss for us who are empty-handed now, but we also have no ability to run a world by ourselves." Li Qi spread his hands.
"The best way, of course, is to do what the immortals in the Holy Flame Realm do, and directly erode this world with their own Tao, so that it can completely become their vassal, but this is not what we can do now. We don't have so many preachers, nor do we have a complete set of Tao that can be used to implement the invasion." Li Qi said.
While talking, the two found a stall on the roadside, ordered some food casually, and continued to chat.
However, the content of their chat was completely inaudible to others.
Li Qi gestured his meaning.
First of all, they did not have the conditions to preach on a large scale.
If you want to preach on a large scale, you need many followers who can understand and follow your Tao, or disciples, who understand your Tao and are willing to take it as a criterion.
The Taoism comes from this.
If many small sects gather together to form groups because of interests, then these or large sects gather together because of similar ideas.
Fellow Daoists are closer than fathers and sons.
Even fathers and sons may turn against each other, but as long as fellow Daoists are still fellow Daoists, there will definitely be no gap.
Li Qi and Shen Shuibi, two lonely people, certainly don't have so many disciples and younger brothers to support such a large-scale event that will last for one or two hundred years.
Even in reality, a hundred years is not long.
Li Qi explained: "So, if you want the Holy Flame Realm to still maintain its labor capacity to produce Holy Flames, you must preserve the original production mechanism and operation of the Holy Flame Realm. This is the fundamental reason why we want to support their resistance. If you plunder directly, you can only plunder the wealth of the past, but you can't earn the wealth of the future."
"But there is another problem. If the Holy Flame Realm maintains the original rules of the Great Dao, then they will not be able to use us. They will use resources and wealth for their own development. In this way, we can't achieve our goal."
Shen Shuibi listened quietly beside him without expressing his opinion.
Although she is very smart, she is not familiar with this aspect, because she has been squatting in Luofu Mountain for the past 9,000 years, and her Taoism is inherited from Luofu Mountain.
Luofu Mountain is one of the branches of Taoism, the hidden branch.
Taoism is also divided into two large branches and many small branches. The two large branches are Huang Lao School and Lao Zhuang School, that is, the worldly school and the hidden school.
At present, the worldly school of Huang Lao School advocates the three points of "cultivation, worldly affairs, and practical application". It has a strong purpose and will take the initiative to transform the world, that is, "worldly affairs and practical application". At present, for unknown reasons, it is fully supporting the expansion of humanity and is a guest of the emperor and the nobles. The emperor even built a Taoist temple for them in Chang'an and granted them the official position of national teacher.
Luofu Mountain is a hermit sect. This sect advocates tranquility and inaction, opposes struggle, follows the laws of nature, and is free and easy. Currently, this branch is distributed in various places. One branch is studying the "mathematical universe" with the Arctic Spiritual Dao, and there are many more who live in seclusion in the mountains, quietly doing what they are interested in. They have no demand to change the world and live a free and easy life.
For the Taoist hermit sect, what Li Qi said was not her scope of knowledge, and she did not understand these things, so she could only listen to Li Qi's analysis silently.
She was very clear that she should not talk nonsense about things she did not understand.
But she was still a smart person after all, so she could still understand what Li Qi meant.
Li Qi continued to explain: "So we need to create an external enemy, and it is ready-made."
"You see, this immortal, his avenue erosion has not yet fully taken effect, and there are still a group of people who maintain a rebellious heart. If we support the Holy Flame Clan in resistance, we can force the Holy Flame Clan to continue to produce Holy Flame for us."
"We don't have much demand for other materials in this world. Holy Flame is the only valuable thing for us, and Holy Flame is a product that the Holy Flame Clan actively produces."
"Once the war starts, not only will they give us the Holy Flame they stored before to buy military supplies, but they will also continue to actively produce Holy Flame in the future to pray for our help. We just need to find a place to sit and wait for them to deliver the Holy Flame to us."
"As for what we have to do, in fact, we only need to pay some skills and magic weapons, and prevent the opponent's fifth-grade masters from intervening. To maintain the balance of this war, we don't need too much investment, and the Holy Flame Clan will complete those trivial matters by themselves."
This is Li Qi's idea.
In fact, it is very simple. If there is no external enemy to put pressure on, the Holy Flame Clan will not honestly contribute Holy Flame.
There are only two of them, and it is impossible for them to swallow all the resources and capabilities of the Holy Flame Clan in one go. They have to do it slowly.
If they want to accumulate initial funds, they still need to use technology to exchange for capital.
Get the first batch of Holy Flames first.
Then use the Holy Flames to exchange for the magic weapons or low-level skills they need in Tianxia.
Going back and forth in the middle can earn at least a hundred times more.
As a world specialty, Li Qi used the method of Shinto to value the Holy Flame. He thought that if this thing is scaled up, the price in Tianxia will not be cheap, at least not for Shen Shuibi, a fifth-grade.
If they really completely occupy this sixth-grade world, it will be a considerable fortune.
This is the first pot of gold.
Although it is still a long way to pay off the debt of Luofu Mountain, if you want to earn one trillion, the first small goal should be to earn 100 million.
Take it step by step.
After understanding Li Qi's arrangement of the following steps, Shen Shuibi nodded and asked, "So... what should we do next? You will go to the Imperial Academy in less than 20 days, right?"
"And the Saint King rejected your proposal. I don't think he regrets it. Can it be supported like this?" Shen Shuibi asked.
Did she not see it? Or did the Saint King really want to regret it?
"No, from the way he looked, you can tell that even his bones were broken, although the Holy Flame Clan has no bones." Li Qi shrugged.
The Saint King probably really couldn't think of resisting.
Now he is in a state of being unwilling to surrender and not daring to resist. He can't stand up properly.
If you want to cure his mental illness, you still need to take it slowly.
"What are you preparing?" Shen Shuibi was confused.
"There is more than one person who resists. There will always be people who are angry. Let's eat something, and then... go kill people tonight." Li Qi said in a brisk tone.
That is to say, the body of the Holy Flame Clan has no expression, otherwise, it must be seen that he is smiling.
Li Qi is not a saint.
He has principles, but he has never been soft-hearted when killing people. This is what he must do to repay the debt to Rabbit.
If there is karma, then it will be accepted together. The cycle of heaven is like this.
Rabbit sat on the other side and nodded slightly.
"Killing people... How to do it?" She nodded, without too much resistance, and accepted it directly.
She didn't think there was any problem.
Rabbit was originally a person without good or evil.
She would not take the initiative to do bad or good things. Most of the time, she was like all the hidden sects, honestly immersed in her own world, and only did her own things.
But if she wanted to do good or bad things, she would not be too resistant to both sides.
This is the way of the hidden sect.
Neither good nor evil, true as self-nature.
Don't care about the outside world, just pursue your own perfection and progress. When everyone makes progress, the whole world will naturally become beautiful, and there is no need to deliberately do anything else.
This is the "doing nothing and doing it" that the Hidden World Sect pursues.
As for interference with the outside world?
A true immortal of the Hidden World Sect once said: "Doing good will not bring you fame, and doing evil will not bring you punishment."
Meaning, doing good will not make you famous immediately, and doing bad will not make you punished immediately.
Good and evil are just your own choices. The world doesn't care what you do, you just need to be yourself.
"It's very simple. We have to wipe out the myth of the invincibility of immortals." Li Qi said.
"The reason why the Holy Flame Realm has not resisted now is very simple, because those immortals can indeed suppress this world. There are only two generations of people with ambition. In another hundred years, the "refining" of this world will be over."
Refining means replacing the other party's way with your own way.
From this point of view, although the way of heaven in this world has not changed, the civilization in it has been "refined".
Li Qi continued to make arrangements: "We didn't find the fifth rank when we came here, which means that the remaining suppressors are basically the ones we can deal with more easily."
"I just asked someone to do divination and found one of the weaker ones. He is the target tonight."
"Just asked someone to do divination? Where did you ask someone?" Shen Shuibi was a little curious.
"This." Li Qi took out the terminal and clicked on the chat record: "I asked Boyue and Zhong Minglou to help me. Although there is some delay, the terminal can still be used in this place."
"Wait, that is to say, it is humanity that wants to invade this world? They extended the cardinals of all realms here!? Otherwise, how can there be a signal?" Rabbit was shocked.
"No, I looked at the mark of the avenue. Although there is some human breath, the foundation is still the divine way. How can there be a signal in the terminal?" Rabbit thought, and then quickly took out her terminal.
Then, she was surprised to find that there was really a signal.
This shows that there is a split base station of the cardinals of all realms in this world!
Seeing Shen Shuibi's surprise, Li Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the other party is not a force of the Tang Kingdom. It's just that he needs a branch of the Cardinal of All Realms to communicate, so he should have spent money to rent a base station of the Cardinal of All Realms to use."
"What do you know?" Shen Shuibi looked up when she heard Li Qi's words.
Li Qi is playing tricks, what does he know?
No, Shen Shuibi knows that he has always been by her side, so she has no time to collect intelligence, right?
"It's not that I know anything, but it's really familiar. It's hard not to recognize this breath." Li Qi shook his head and said jokingly.
"Woo——?" Rabbit was at a loss, she tilted her head and made a puzzled gurgling sound.
What is this Li Qi still keeping?
However, this time Li Qi did not explain to Rabbit.
This made Rabbit angry.
But she didn't dwell on it for too long, and soon regained her composure, curiously following Li Qi, waiting for him to solve the mystery.
After all, no matter how hard you hide, you can't hide it tonight.
After the two finished their meal, they were ready to leave.
The meal was a common diet in the world, but the ingredients were local.
Even the diet had been eroded to this extent.
It was like never eating braised pork again, and eating steak in the future.
Fortunately, their diet was also meat. Although they didn't know what kind of meat it was, it might be a bit problematic for ordinary people, but the bodies of Li Qi and Shen Shuibi were far superior to ordinary people, so they didn't need to worry at all.
For them, eating was purely a desire for food, not a necessity.
