Chapter 431 Gift (Part 1)
Actually, what Li Qi wanted to say was that if the world is not good, then change it.
Unfortunately, it can't be done.
Everything has a reason. The reason why Baiyue is so chaotic is the dispute between humans and witches. As a buffer zone, it has been squeezed by two kinds of Taoism.
In addition, because of the special existence of the "king", a large number of unsuccessful cultivators have gathered.
Li Qi wants to "change the world", which is really difficult. At least he must be able to suppress the entire Baiyue to be qualified to say this.
So, it is better to leave. He plans to send the Paibo Gang to Songguo.
Songguo has been governed by the human way. Although it has not been directly incorporated into the territory, the human way is prosperous. The original witches have basically been driven out of Songguo, but other Taoisms including the Shinto are still retained.
Send them to Songguo to see another world.
Then... wait for Li Qi to come back from the East China Sea, and then send them to Annan.
In this way, the Paibo Gang will naturally make their own choices.
They have become like this because the world is like this.
Therefore, Li Qi decided to show them other ways of the world so that they would have choices.
If anyone wanted to return to Dalu Kingdom, Li Qi would send them back.
If anyone wanted to stay in Song Kingdom, Li Qi would not force them.
If they wanted to continue to follow Li Qi to Annan, that would be just fine.
The most important thing was that Li Qi would give these old brothers a gift, a gift that was extremely precious and most suitable in Li Qi's eyes.
It was not a magic weapon, not a technique, not wealth or beauty.
It was an opportunity to choose.
This was actually a very precious thing.
In this world, how many people have the opportunity to choose at the critical moment of their lives?
Even Li Qi himself had no choice.
See more ways of the world, and then choose your own way, so that even if you return to Dalu Kingdom or go to something else, it's fine.
Li Qi did not expect these old brothers to make the right choice, but only hoped that they could all walk out of their own way, instead of being dragged by this "world" and becoming something they didn't even recognize themselves.
This was the most precious gift that Li Qi could give.
It was more precious than all magic weapons and techniques.
Even Li Qi wanted this gift.
He also wanted a chance to choose, but no one would give it to him, no one had the ability to give it to him.
From the moment he provoked the demon, Li Qi had no choice at all.
With many thoughts swirling in his mind, and thinking about the practice of many Taoist methods, it was dawn before he knew it.
Before dawn, the whole mountain gate was filled with the sound of hey ha hey ha, which was the shouting when practicing.
Even the people of Pai Bo Gang got up to practice, even if they were drunk yesterday, but no one dared to stop practicing in the morning.
This is the foundation of life and the foundation of all martial artists.
Practice boxing every day, practice in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and you must not slack off for a day.
If you slack off for a day, you will practice in vain for three days, so naturally no one will be lazy.
Even playing mobile games as a daily routine can motivate so many people to do it every day, not to mention practicing martial arts. As long as there is a little bit of martial arts persistence in your heart, you will not be vague about practicing martial arts.
Li Qi quietly waited for their daily homework to end.
After the meeting, Uncle Six dismissed the ordinary disciples and only brought the most trusted brothers.
Most of them were the original Paibo old men, and only a few were newcomers who had recently gained trust.
Uncle Six was anxious to get everyone together and said to them: "No one is allowed to leak out what happened today, understand?"
Uncle Six was not a member of the rank. In fact, his Li Liuyi was not very good. Everyone present could basically beat him easily, but no one would question Uncle Six's authority, although he was very weak.
As the leader of the Paibo Gang, his work has always been visible to all.
He is not partial, does not seek profit for himself, and even now, he has never married.
In fact, Uncle Six had a wife before, but after his wife died, he never remarried and has no children until now.
In the eyes of many people, if you don't even have children, what is there to be partial to? After all, you can't bring anything with you when you are born, and you can't take anything with you when you die. Without children, there will be no heirs, and it's useless to be greedy.
With such a relationship, plus the trust of the old Paibo Gang in Uncle Six, he became the undisputed leader of the sect.
Therefore, facing Uncle Six's warning, everyone immediately bowed: "Understood!"
"I have dismissed the irrelevant people, so do you know why I called you here?" He asked the others.
At this time, a strong man came out.
His name is Liu Bo, a congenital warrior of the Pai Bo Gang, and he is not an old member of the Pai Bo Gang, but a newcomer, who is a martial artist.
"Uncle Six must have a reason to ask us to come here, but it is so ostentatious, and he also pulled the inner door deacon and the elders council here... Is it because of the person who came yesterday?" Liu Bo asked.
Liu Bo looks quite rough, with a fat body, big shoulders and a big waist. You can't see muscles, but you can only see layers of fat. His skin is white and shiny, as if he just climbed out of the water.
His whole face is round, his long hair is combed into a ponytail, he has two small mustaches, squinting eyes, and thick lips. He is a fat man who is pampered and has fair skin.
However, if you fight him, you will know that under this fat body, there are all hard muscles. His physical body tempering level surpasses that of everyone in Paibo Sect. If it were not for Li Liuyi's double explosive ability, Paibo Sect would be No one can compete with him. Even the current Paibo Sect, his combat power is firmly ranked in the top three.
"Yes, that's the man who came yesterday. His name is Li Qi. He was our former sect member, and he has a very high status. He is from Paibo Sect." Uncle Six raised his index finger.
This is a slang term, and the local meaning is similar to a think tank.
"So that's it. I understand. No wonder there was so much mobilization of troops yesterday. It turns out that the plotter is back. Please come out quickly and let me see him too. There were so many people here yesterday that I didn't even have time to see him!" Liu Bo said with a smile.
But Uncle Liu patted his fat belly and said: "I came back suddenly yesterday because I was in a hurry. When everyone was happy, they forgot about these things. I didn't mean to neglect you. Don't take it to heart. Take a closer look today. Chapter 1 Someone found you, and everyone didn’t treat you like an outsider.”
Uncle Six had already noticed that Liu Bo was sulking because of yesterday's grand banquet. He thought he was one of the Paibo Sect members, but someone he didn't recognize suddenly appeared.
But this person was very familiar to all the old gang members, and they immediately felt like "it turns out that everyone in the Paibo Sect had a tacit understanding of hiding this from me."
With this feeling, no matter what you say, you will always have a grudge in your heart. Uncle Liu saw this, so he talked about the matter straightforwardly, so that he would not dwell on all the things.
The result was the same. Liu Bo had already said this, and Liu Bo was embarrassed to say anything else. Naturally, he was also embarrassed to say anything else. He just nodded and stepped back.
Secretly hiding his grudge, he wanted to see what the Paibo Sect's 'strategist' looked like.
"Then everyone knows why they came today, and they all know it in their hearts. They tie their mouths tightly and take a good look at who brought the good days now. They keep their heads down and think about it. What Li Qi will say next will be in their hearts. Let’s think about it,” Uncle Liu told everyone.
I saw some rough guys shouting loudly: "What are you thinking about, Uncle Six! Isn't Brother Li smarter than us? He has a plan, we just listen!"
"That's right!"
"Does this need to be reminded? Everyone keeps it in mind when practicing every day!"
There were constant echoes. Everyone in the Paibo Sect now knows that the exercises they practice every day were brought back by Brother Li desperately. For this reason, Li Qi left in a hurry after handing over the exercises. It must be Afraid that I and others will be implicated.
Now that Brother Li is back, it's too late for everyone to be happy, and they have no intention of causing trouble!
"That's good, then let's go see Li Qi, remember what I just said." Uncle Six said, and then led everyone into the courtyard.
Liu Bo, who listened to the previous conversation, became more and more curious.
He knew the strength of the Paibo Sect, and they were all a group of brave and ruthless people. They fought not only for their own lives, but for the lives of their opponents. There was absolutely nothing wrong with saying they were poor.
What kind of person can convince people in Paibo Sect and respect him like this?
With this curiosity, he followed everyone into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, the original meat, grease, and leftovers from the banquet had been cleaned up, but Li Qi was seen standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking at them.
Li Qi smiled and said: "You are here? Uncle Six, is this all left?"
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little disappointed when he saw that only a little more than a third of the Paibo Gang was left.
Dozens of brothers wait until death for a chance to make a choice.
"Is such a huge family fortune just for nothing? We have taken care of their wives and children. We have left seeds behind. Even those who have bachelors have found nephews to renew their incest. For those who have no nephews, we have also found orphans. , inherited their surname." Uncle Liu stepped forward and comforted Li Qi.
In the early days of the Paibo Gang, they didn’t dare to fight hard. How could they have the good life they have now, with so many servants and wives?
Isn’t it just for now that so many brothers have died?
"Forget it, let's do that." Li Qi nodded, passed by Uncle Six, and looked at the people at the Paibo Gate.
He cleared his throat and used a technique to use the wind to spread his voice farther and louder.
"Brothers, I have something to tell you."
Everyone listened quietly, even Liu Bo did not speak at this time. He wanted to see what this planner named Li Qi was capable of.
"I want to take you to Songguo and stay for a while. If you are not satisfied, you can come back. If your stay in Songguo is good, then I will send you to Annan. This will take about four or five years. After everything is over, what do you want to do? Anything is fine," Li Qi said.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other.
Not to mention Pai Bo helped everyone, even Uncle Six frowned.
"Brother Li, it's not that we don't believe you, but you have to have a reason for asking your brothers to abandon their families and careers, right?" At this time, an innate warrior stood up next to him.
The ninth level of martial arts is called Xiantian in Baiyue's "Jianghu".
Li Qi knew this man, and he was also an old man from the Paibo Gang. His name was Zhang Erdi, but he didn't have much presence before, but he didn't expect that he would become the ninth grade now.
The parents of the Pai Bo Gang members were not well educated, so most of the names of the Pai Bo Gang members were numbers, such as the second brother, Huang Si, and the sixth uncle. The six also came from their names.
"Zhang Er, when have I ever done things without a reason? Don't worry, sit down and listen to me." Li Qi waved his hand.
Zhang Erdi nodded, took two steps back, and waited for Li Qi to explain the reason.
"Do you know how big the Dalu Kingdom is?" Li Qi asked the people around him.
Everyone naturally didn't know, and shook their heads.
But at this time, Zhang Bo, an outsider, stood up: "The Dalu Kingdom has thirteen states and one hundred and sixty-nine counties. We are in Lizhou. The entire Dalu Kingdom is more than one million miles long and short. I don't know why Brother Li asked this?"
Li Qi was a little surprised when he heard the correct answer, and looked at Zhang Bo: "Yes, that's right."
Li Qi was originally going to explain after everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, but he didn't expect someone to really answer it.
So he looked at Zhang Bo with some surprise, and then said: "Yes, the Great Deer Kingdom covers more than one million miles. Do you think it is big?"
"Of course it is very big. The farthest I have gone now is Yi County. I also want to go to Baishezhou later. I heard that Baishezhou is very big, and Baishe Mountain is as spectacular as Lishui!" Huang Si said immediately.
He has a lively personality, just like trying hard to marry a wife. He also wants to travel and see the world after he has money.
"Look, that mountain." Li Qi pointed to a mountain four or five miles away. It was a quarry. It seemed that a master had imprisoned the mountains and waters over there, making it a dead land, which can be used exclusively for quarrying, without worrying about the harassment of mountain gods and wild beasts in the mountains.
Everyone didn't know why Li Qi's topic jumped so quickly, so they had to look at the mountain covering an area of two or three miles.
Someone immediately reminded Li Qi: "Brother Li, that's the quarry of Qianjimen. What's wrong? What does this have to do with the size of Dalu Kingdom?"
"Watch it." Li Qi said, stretching out his hand.
Suddenly, a Dharma image appeared behind him.
It was an extremely fragmented Dharma image, with limbs not on the body, but just barely attached, like a puppet with dislocated joints, held up by a strange force.
The left hand held a flower with Buddha's light, and the right hand held the heart with a devil's claw.
The head sat upright with the witch's soul, and the eyes showed the light of the sun and the moon.
The body exuded a lot of humanity, and the feet stepped on the yin and yang fish.
This Dharma image symbolized Li Qi's fragmented path, but it was also a manifestation of his power.
When the Dharma image appeared, everyone in the Paibo Gang felt suffocated!
But the Dharma image stretched out his hand and turned his palm over.
A mountain covering an area of two or three miles was directly flattened!
Then, before everyone could speak, they heard Li Qi say: "But if you ask me, this Dalu Kingdom is too small."
