Chapter 521 Farewell to the Mortal World

In Songguo, in the wild, there is a Feng Shui treasure land. Here, there is a cemetery.

Songguo did not have a cemetery before, but after the human beings came, they found a Feng Shui treasure land and built a cemetery to ensure that the people buried here would not give birth to resentful ghosts and ghosts, and could be well reincarnated.

After all, if they were buried randomly, it would be easy to breed all kinds of ghosts, and then all kinds of forces would be needed to clear them out, which was also inconsistent with the stubborn rules and concepts of the human beings.

After finding the cemetery, the people of Paibo Gang still had a conscience. The tombstone of Uncle Liu was still quite luxurious. Although the area of ​​the cemetery was restricted by the human beings, at least the tombstone was carefully customized and carved by craftsmen.

Li Qi stood in front of the tombstone and held a sacrifice quietly.

Music changed nine times, and people and ghosts could be treated with courtesy. Wine and food were set up in the suburbs, and the ghosts who had no one to rely on were sacrificed, which was called remote enjoyment.

Originally, sacrifices were done by the people of the human and ghost lineage. As a person of the earthly lineage, Li Qi should deal with various mountain and water gods and natural spirits.

But it is not necessary to have people of the human and ghost lineage to come. The earthly gods are just different professionals.

Mortals are easily bewitched by various gods and do not understand the truth. When they see that the temples have spiritual responses, they think that the temples are sacred temples of heroes and that the ghosts and gods worshipped there must be smart and upright people.

Little do they know that there are twists and turns in this kind of thing: the same is rich and powerful people, such as Bo Youwei Li, Zichan said: "The more essence of things you use, the stronger the soul."

But in fact, this kind of human ghosts are very different.

Some are heroic and die in their prime, so their heroic souls do not dissipate. This kind of specializes in ghosts, and it is very simple to practice. The ghost messengers also like to recruit such newcomers.

Some are born with thick energy, strong spirits, and are not easy to dissipate after death. This is also the type that the ghost messengers like.

Some are when people make statues of people, they catch a live bird of prey, such as a monkey or a crow, and hide it alive in the belly. This creature is killed alive, but its soul does not disperse. People burn incense and pray day and night, and it will become spiritual. The spirit is the spirit of this creature, not the ghost.

Others are that people think it is spiritual, and everyone's spirit is concentrated on the statue, so it will naturally become spiritual, such as the white king.

Some are also people in the world who have souls and spirits that have died without a proper life, and have not been able to dissipate. Sometimes they may do strange things, but they will disappear after a long time.

However, there are also some people who have not been avenged, and they often do strange things, such as the female ghost in the post station in some legends, and various unjust ghosts come to claim their lives.

Others are built as temples, and souls and spirits that are buried under the grass and trees come and attach themselves to them. This is a common method used by mountain spirits and wild monsters to practice Shinto.

Others are the spirits of mountains and rivers. Temples are located in the majestic mountains and rivers, and they are spirits made by air. This is the true god of mountains and rivers.

Humans and ghosts are of the same lineage. It is said that if a person's heart is extremely sincere and respectful, his spirit will be gathered. The things he divinations have their own connections, and he will naturally sense them. Good or bad luck is not wrong at all, just because they are all of the same principle and energy. The so-called "be careful to show your virtue to the gods" means this.

And the sixth uncle...

does not belong to any of the above categories.

He is just an ordinary old man. After his death, his soul resides in his body. After dark, he is taken away by the ghost messenger who came.

Because his soul can't even leave his body, it will be blown away by the external yang energy and wind. He can't see the light and can only be taken away by the ghost messenger at night.

Even if Li Qi gave him the complete "Blessing" book, he couldn't practice. He didn't have enough talent and character.

Finding some natural treasures for him to improve his body is actually a drop in the bucket. He has long suffered from bone marrow failure and his body has dried up. In this case, it is better to create a new body in Wushen Mountain. After all, the price of repair is more expensive than a whole new one.

And for Li Qi, what's the use of forcibly extending the life of the sixth uncle?

Li Qi's ability could not help him break through the limit of his life. Even if he used natural materials and treasures to extend his life for decades, it would only make him linger on. Moreover, this kind of thing was considered "going against the will of heaven", and Li Qi did not like this kind of thing.

Let everything go with the flow. Uncle Six's life just passed by naturally, which was good.

Leaves turned into mud, birth, aging, illness and death were all part of nature, and he had enjoyed his life.

Let him die like this, and make this sacrifice as a final farewell.

This sacrifice put all the karma of Uncle Six on Li Qi, so that he would no longer suffer after falling into hell, but could directly enter reincarnation, and he could be reborn in a good life in the next life.

After doing this, Li Qi turned and left.

The matter of the Paibo Gang was over, so let it be.

Flying in the sky, the old horse was humming and shriveling on the road. Li Qi and Shen Shuibi sat on his back. The two of them and the dragon talked to relieve their boredom, and they were in the normal time of rushing on the road.

Li Qi finished his work in Song Country, and then he was going to visit Lingxiao Flower God... Oh, now he is not the Flower God, but the Lord of Lingxiao Country.

After the visit, he can go home.

However, while the two were chatting, Rabbit suddenly realized something and looked down.

Li Qi followed her gaze.

He saw... a trade road.

On the trade road, there was a line of caravans.

The two people and the dragon had good eyesight and could clearly see the sign hanging on the caravan.

The sign read: "Respect."

"Familiar breath, respect for my family." Li Qi said immediately, he had already sensed that there was an acquaintance down there.

It really is fate.

Shen Shuibi also nodded: "Do you want to go down and take a look?"

"It doesn't hurt to take a look, let's go." Li Qi nodded, and then jumped off the old horse.

Shen Shuibi also floated down, and Lao Ma also remembered what happened at the beginning, so his figure changed to the size of a thumb and hurriedly followed.

The two landed on the side of the road and waited for the caravan to arrive.

But after a while, the caravan came over here.

Dozens of vehicles, including horse carriages and ox carts, were fully loaded with goods, heading towards the interior of Songguo. It was obvious that a lot of good goods were imported from the outside and were ready to be sold inside Songguo.

The caravan was not very vigilant, and even the guards were talking and laughing, very relaxed.

Yes, Songguo has now been taken over by human beings. Although it is only a small part, there are no general highway robberies or various demons and ghosts, so the guards are very relaxed.

If it was in Daluguo, it would definitely be on full alert, fearing that something would rush out.

Li Qi stood by the road, not hiding his figure. In fact, he was not prepared to go up and talk.

He just wanted to get closer to see what was going on. After all, it was just a chance encounter at the beginning. Now that he saw it, he was curious to take a look.

If we can have a chance to talk, that would be good. If not, then just leave after watching.

Li Qi stood by the road, with Shen Shuibi beside him.

Li Qi's original intention was to watch quietly without attracting attention, but Shen Shuibi also wanted to watch. She stood here, and when the caravan passed by, everyone in the caravan looked over here, as if they had seen something strange.

Li Qi held his forehead.

It should have been expected that the rabbit would remove the invisibility spell, which would indeed be very eye-catching in the mortal world.

Moreover, there were old friends in this caravan, so he recognized them at once.

But a fat middle-aged man came out of the caravan, smiling, and approached Li Qi and others.

Li Qi also leaned over and said, "Manager Jing, I didn't expect to see you today. It's fate."

The chubby Manager Jing laughed and said, "Oh, isn't it? When I saw you on the road, I rubbed my eyes. I never thought it was you, but your sister is so dazzling that I can't help but look at her."

When he said "your sister", he squinted his eyes.

Li Qi then remembered that he called Shen Shuibi "sister" at the beginning, but they hadn't confirmed their relationship at that time.

Really, I miss her a little, although it was only about ten years ago.

Li Qi looked emotional and didn't say anything, so Manager Jing immediately took over and said, "By the way, do you still call me sister now?"

"Hahaha, I don't call you that now. I call you my wife now." Li Qi hugged Shen Shuibi and expressed his feelings.

"Since we meet again, why not come sit in my caravan? You are a master, you were a ninth-rank before, and I believe your cultivation is even deeper now?" Shopkeeper Jing said with a smile: "When we parted, you already had the demeanor of a master, and now I see you again, I just feel that you are unfathomable."

He looked at Li Qi and could indeed feel an unfathomable demeanor, which was the vision he had developed from years of business.

It was not his cultivation, because he could not see through Li Qi's cultivation at all, he was just a low-rank cultivation, but Li Qi obviously did not care too much about the caravan behind him.

You know, his caravan has several ninth-rank escorts, and it has traveled across several countries without any problems, and there are masters like Jing Yan among them.

The head of the family said that Jing Yan will definitely enter the eighth rank in another ten years, and his future is limitless.

And Jing Yan was defeated by the man in front of him, and his talent is even more terrifying.

So, Shopkeeper Jing made a blind guess, and the old friend in front of him might have reached the eighth rank, right? If we can establish a relationship, it will be a good thing for the Jing family.

"Forget it, we won't go, but Miss Jing Yan, I do miss her a little bit. Her persistence in swords really makes me respect her, so I'm waiting for her here." Li Qi said.

"So that's the case. You're here to visit Jing Yan. I thought, heroes appreciate heroes. Ah Kuan, go and call your Aunt Yan and tell her that the old friend she has been thinking about is here." Shopkeeper Jing instructed the child who came with him.

Although the child was curious, he didn't ask much and went back quickly.

Li Qi didn't feel it was abrupt, because everyone present knew that even if the caravan stopped, Jing Yan probably wouldn't notice it. She might still be practicing swords. If there was no danger around, she would not come out.

He continued to chat with Shopkeeper Jing, but after all, they had only met once, so there was not much topic. However, after all, they were traveling merchants, so they still had the ability to find something to talk about. Li Qi didn't resist him, so they chatted well and there was no dull moment.

After a while, Li Qi suddenly stopped talking and looked towards the convoy.

There, a middle-aged woman came over, about 40 years old, with a straight back, sharp eyes, a sword hanging from her waist, and neat and clean clothes.

Her hair was short, maybe she was too lazy to tie it up, so she just cut it short.

There are not a few women with short hair in the world, but the aesthetics of Songguo generally do not like this kind of dress, but Jingyan doesn't care much about other people's comments now.

Her value lies in the sword, not anything else.

"Miss Jing." Li Qi took the initiative to greet him, bowed his hands, and said hello.

Jingyan glanced at Li Qi, did not reply, and put her hand on the hilt of the sword, as if she wanted to draw the sword.

Li Qi smiled and waited quietly.

But Jingyan held the hilt of the sword and was silent for a full three minutes, and then she let go.

"You've become so strong, I can't find your Qi." Jing Yan shook her head and said with a sigh.

Li Qi put away his smile, his expression changed, and his face became stern: "From sword to Qi, it's a lot of progress, but you've taken the wrong path."

The first time Li Qi saw Jing Yan, he was fully devoted to the sword, as if he wanted to pursue the ultimate swordsmanship, and even called it "Kendo".

This irritated Shen Shuibi, who stood up and said that it was not Tao at all.

Yes, the ultimate swordsmanship is actually very simple and ordinary.

All swordsmanship is essentially just the path of a three-foot-long rectangular object in three-dimensional space. What's so difficult about it?

Li Qi can even enumerate all the swordsmanship in the entire universe, and it won't take long.

Swordsmanship is something that can't be any smaller. Even martial arts will not specialize in swordsmanship. Even if they use swords, they will choose a more advanced Qi intention and use the sword as a carrier.

Whether it is a sword, a knife, or a fist, it all depends on whether it can carry their Qi intention.

What is Qi intention?

Qi, that is naturally what makes up Li Qi's cultivation. By observing the Qi and perceiving the other party's Qi, one can feel the gap or the other party's attributes to a certain extent.

After all, the Qi required for cultivation is different. If one is good at fire magic, then there must be more fire in the body, after all, fire must be stored for performing magic.

The sword can naturally carry these Qi and exist as a kind of magic weapon to strengthen a certain type of magic.

And the intention is the foundation of the warrior, the martial arts divine intention.

The warrior does not have too many means, but the martial arts divine intention can suppress many forces. Using the weapon in hand to show one's own Qi intention is the most common way of fighting for the warrior.

And Jing Yan in front of him, although he practiced sword hard, he took the wrong path. The sword in his hand was full of sword Qi, and he could even detect the Qi in Li Qi's body without any flaws with the ninth-grade Qi.

But just like he was specialized in art before, he is now specialized in Qi, but ignores the existence of divine intention.

If you can't comprehend the martial arts divine intention, it is useless even if you invest more time in Qi.

That's why Li Qi said she took the wrong road.

Jing Yan nodded: "I will reconsider."

"That's good, goodbye then." Li Qi bowed and left with Shen Shuibi.

We have already met, that's enough, if we really want to stay and talk, we are not very familiar with each other.

We are no longer from the same world.

Be well.

So, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi said goodbye to them and rode away on the dragon.

Only the caravan with countless frightened horses was left behind.
