Chapter 679 Choice
Seven days later, the banquet was held as normal.
Eight hours before that, Ling Xiao came back first.
When she came back, she was in a very bad state, listless and tired.
"Senior... I'm back." She patted her face, forced herself to cheer up, and bowed to Li Qi.
This etiquette was very sloppy, not only because she was very tired, but also because she knew that this Tongtian Realm senior would not even look at her.
However, to her surprise, Li Qi actually raised his head at this time.
After raising his head, he said: "You look very bad, and the invitation is not going well?"
Having said that, Li Qi raised his hand, and a stream of Yang Qi emerged from his fingers, and then drilled into Ling Xiao's body, making her feel refreshed.
Li Qi could clearly see that her Yang Qi was thin and her spirit was not good, so he just needed to replenish it, it was very simple.
The health of the human body depends on the balance of Qi. For witches and sorcerers who make the human body into an open system, they only need to absorb the external Qi to maintain the balance in the body, so they basically will not get sick or tired, except for mental fatigue.
But Ling Xiao is obviously not only mentally tired, she is also physically tired.
If Li Qi didn't know the reason, he might think that this person went to mine.
Ling Xiao felt that her body was gradually recovering, and a warm feeling rose in her heart, but more doubts shrouded her heart, so she didn't suppress it, but said directly: "It's going well... But I don't understand, senior, why do you make the invitation anonymous?"
Yes, Li Qifa's invitation is anonymous.
There are a total of 3,000. Whoever gets it can go to the upper-level banquet. Those who don't get it can go outside to eat the buffet.
"Why? Isn't this very convenient? I don't know who will come, and I don't know how many people want to come. Isn't it difficult for me to write down their names one by one? So I just send anonymous invitations. Anyway, there are more than 3,000 invitations, so there shouldn't be any omissions, right? I think there are more than enough." Li Qi said so.
However, Ling Xiao shook her head vigorously: "No, it's not like that. Senior, you must know this situation!"
Ling Xiao didn't believe that Li Qi really had this idea!
Because, she knew very well that Li Qi once said, 'The amount of resources is not important, but the percentage of resources is important. '
Only when the percentage is high can you become the main body of the group, which has nothing to do with the total amount of resources.
Just like Li Qifa's invitation.
Three thousand invitations are indeed more than enough, enough for everyone.
But if everyone comes, what's the difference between that and no one coming?
So, facing three thousand anonymous invitations, a conspiracy and chaos broke out in the city within these seven days.
It is really difficult to describe the degree of chaos in these seven days.
Conspiracy, betrayal, purge.
Spy, loyalty, assassination.
The city was full of undercurrents, and everyone had their own agenda. Countless people racked their brains for an invitation, whether it was robbing, deceiving, or seducing, all kinds of unsightly means. In seven days, thousands of suspense dramas were staged in the city, and the scripts of each one were extremely exciting.
Even Ling Xiao was exhausted after spending seven days like this, so much so that she came like a dead person, and Li Qi had to help her refresh herself.
Ling Xiao absolutely did not believe that Li Qi did not know about these things.
She even felt that all this must be manipulated by Li Qi behind the scenes, and the reason he sent out the invitation was to watch such chaos happen.
But Li Qi just shook his head and said, "My motive is indeed just that I am too lazy to write my name. As for what happened, it was your choice."
"You know what will happen..." Ling Xiao's face wrinkled.
"Of course I know." Li Qi nodded calmly: "But to be honest, I know more."
Li Qi stood up and patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder: "You have many choices. You can choose to do it like the other day, or you can choose to split it equally, or you can choose to bid. There are many choices. I know how to do each choice."
"I know many possibilities for the future, but the only thing I don't know is which future you will choose."
"So, when I said I don't know, it doesn't mean I don't know what will happen, but I don't know how you will choose. I haven't interfered with your choice. It's your own choice to become like this, and it has nothing to do with me."
After Li Qi finished speaking, he touched the other person's head: "Have a good rest, don't think too much, this matter is their own choice, and it has nothing to do with you and me."
Zhi Zhu once told Li Qi that the future is unpredictable. Once the future can be predicted, then the future becomes the present.
There is no real prediction of the future.
So Li Qi doesn't know what will happen in the future.
He knows every road in the future, just like a crossroads. Li Qi stands high in the sky and can clearly see every detail of the crossroads.
Choices must be rooted in reality. As long as you understand reality, you can see people's choices clearly, just like seeing where the crossroads lead to.
However, when a person stands in the middle of the crossroads, Li Qi doesn't know where he will go.
He really doesn't know how these people should choose.
Just like now.
Li Qi sent out the invitation, which just put a crossroads in front of these people.
No matter how they choose, Li Qi knows the subsequent development.
Only at the moment of choice, Li Qi was unsure.
Before they make a choice, the four possible directions at the intersection are in a superposition state, and the superposition state cannot be explained.
In this superposition state, there is also a difference in probability. The probability of going to the left may be greater than that of the right. Observing and confirming this probability is the original meaning of 'divination'.
Facing Li Qi's answer, Ling Xiao was speechless.
She couldn't find a way to argue with that.
"Don't blame me for not stopping you. There is essentially no difference between me stopping you from doing bad things and forcing you to do bad things. You also know that I am just observing and I don't actually want to interfere with you." Li Qi said.
"Yes...it's just, senior, did you get what you wanted?" Lingxiao looked at Li Qi, feeling a sense of panic in her heart.
The man in front of me——
It's too alienated and too lofty, which makes people feel a sense of fear.
It’s like facing——
God.
God pays attention to the world, but never interferes.
But what Lingxiao didn't know was that Li Qi really could become God's will.
Moreover, Taoism has a saying to describe this.
Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as stupid dogs. They are empty but not yielding, and the more they move, the more they speak. It is better to stay in the center than to talk too much.
It's better to stay in the middle.
When Li Qi began to try to imitate God's will, his level of thinking would naturally rise to the level of God's will.
But for mortals, this way of thinking is a bit too cruel.
But...this is Li Qi.
The influence of Shen Shuibi, some thoughts from Taoism in his body, and his own witchcraft have all shaped him. The more he knows, the more he can understand the importance of this silent attitude.
Living beings cannot achieve true happiness before they truly understand their own way, so imposing happiness on them is a form of coercion.
Facing Lingxiao's question, Li Qi smiled and said, "You can't give me what I want."
"However, I can spell it out bit by bit myself."
Hearing this, Lingxiao let out a long sigh: "In other words... Senior, do you want to use our performance to piece together something great that we ourselves have never imagined?"
"You are quite poetic, but that's about it. I will find the answer I want from you...at least some fragments of the answer." Li Qi smiled.
"I understand, so...can I continue to draw portraits of my seniors?" Lingxiao asked again at this time.
"Of course, I was the one who entrusted you with it, so I'll trouble you." Li Qi nodded slightly.
The conversation with Lingxiao ended, and there was silence between the two again. Li Qi continued to do his own thing.
Eight hours passed after that.
The banquet was held as scheduled. As for the location, it was in the wilderness in the suburbs. There were still mines nearby. It was smoky and the environment was quite poor.
Lingxiao led more than 3,000 people, lined up one by one, and each used their own methods to arrive at this wilderness in the most glorious way.
Someone was riding a mount, and the huge spiritual beast was waving its tail and making a loud noise.
Someone came in a sedan, and there were a lot of servants under the carriage. Everyone had invitations, as if they were free of charge.
There are people coming together, all dressed in magic weapons and jewels.
But when they came here, their expressions were a little stiff.
what happened?
There is nothing in this wilderness but stones.
"It seems that everyone has arrived and the banquet has been set. Please take your seats." At this time, Li Qi came out.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Li Qi who came out.
It was this invitation, the invitation to Tongtian Realm, that caused a series of troubles.
In the final analysis, everything, all the brutal fights carried out by the invitation holders are just to be able to see each other in person, hoping to pry away a little bit of each other's body.
Many people have already drafted it thousands of times, and have prepared various explanations.
Just wait until you see this Tongtian Realm, then you can rush up and impress him.
However, many people thought well and planned well, but when they saw Li Qi, they all stopped.
Feeling of oppression.
It was obvious that the other party did not cast any spells, nor did he show any hostility, and even deliberately restrained his aura, but there was still a terrifying sense of oppression coming over him.
Just feeling the pressure from the Tongtian Realm made them cower. This was pure personal suppression. Facing each other was like facing a monster that was ready to move.
So they all stopped. No matter how many times they drafted the draft, they just felt... afraid to move forward.
But not everyone is like that.
However, the city lord came out at this time, bowed to Li Qi calmly, and said: "My lord, the city lord of Shuiling City, Ling He Zhou, has met your senior. I haven't seen you these days. Is your senior okay?"
"Fortunately, I quite like the person you arranged." Li Qi smiled: "It looks like everyone is here."
"Yes, there are three thousand people in total, not many people, not many people. They are all here, but... don't know where the banquet is?" City Lord Ling He Zhou asked.
"Right at your feet." Li Qi said.
After speaking, Li Qi took a step forward.
In an instant, a world unfolded.
The scenery of this world was blocked, and a brand new world was forcibly inserted, replacing the scenery in front of them!
In an instant, everyone suddenly found themselves in a bamboo forest.
Qing Xiao Bi Xiang, Kuaiji Yunmeng, there are thousands of hectares of bamboo, the wind in the wilderness is thousands of miles away, the mountains are covered with fresh green, and when you stand up and look, you can see the smoke and green everywhere.
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, many people stood up, walked, stood, ran, and jumped, only to feel the mountain light brushing people, the frosty courtyard and the moon threshold, the sound of Xiao Sao, and the soul wandering in the green bushes.
The orchid wind is light, the oriole sings cleverly, and everyone seems to be startled and looks back, fearing that the good dream will not continue.
All this in front of them is too dreamy, so that they feel that they are in a dream or an illusion.
Although the scenery is beautiful and fantastic, it is not shocking to them. What is really shocking is the terrifying background of these bamboos, mountains, forests, and even the land.
Such pure air, extremely high quality, and very easy to digest. If you practice here for a year, it is far better than practicing in the outside world for ten years!
Not far away, twenty sacred mountains were specially erected by Li Qi.
The sacred mountain is ten thousand feet high, and the sound of Taoism resounds in the mountain. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the land is spiritual, and the sky is precious. When the Taoism resounds, light dust and snow are flying in the air, like falling fairy flowers.
This must be an illusion, right?
What kind of hand is this?
Everyone saw that there were a full twenty different Tongtian Realm auras on the twenty sacred mountains!
In other words, there are more than twenty Tongtian Realms, or corresponding treasures!
This--
It must be fake! !
Everyone used their own methods to distinguish the true from the false.
They used all kinds of methods, various spells, and magical powers, but soon, they found...
That was true.
It was indeed true.
Some people even lay on the ground, absorbing the earth's energy here, using it for cultivation, and then found that it was really useful.
This means...
It is true, whether it is the extremely pure air around or the twenty sacred mountains not far away, they are all true.
And, it is indeed true.
Twenty sacred mountains were formed by the twenty Tongtian realm masters that Li Qi ate, and one sword master. Li Qi really couldn't learn the martial arts spirit of the other party, so he couldn't keep it and could only let it dissipate.
But for the others, Li Qi did keep a part of the other party. Although he couldn't use it, he could use it as a trophy and give it to people to comprehend the breath.
For Li Qi, comprehending these is meaningless, but for the sixth and seventh rank masters, comprehending the breath of the fifth rank is simply a great opportunity!
Everyone, including Ling Xiao, their breathing became heavy.
They didn't expect that such a gift would appear at this banquet!
Yes, they directly determined that the senior in front of them could not be aimless.
