Chapter 701: Capacity

In the Guanghan Palace, accompanied by countless small boats, the Milky Way, and the huge silver tree, a beautiful scene is presented.

Under the treetops of the silver tree, countless Taiyins are hanging. The quiet and cold air emitted by these Taiyins turns into a breeze of light dust, lingering beside the running Tianhe floating in the void, setting off countless small boats, and no one knows where they are going.

These small boats will disappear from time to time, and no one knows which world's Taiyin they have gone to, but they will always come back.

Dew appears in the sky, and no mortal flowers fall.

So cold, we are all in the high and cold place.

Look at the sky flowers falling, floating on the Milky Way, the sky is high and the dew is cool, the ice wheel turns the shadow, the cold light is soaked, and it overlaps. Suddenly I don't know where I am. The moonlight is like snow, the moonlight is clear, the moon waves are bright, the osmanthus palace is fragrant, the Guanghan is cold, and the snow is bright and frosty.

In such a scene, in the Guanghan Palace, the banquet began.

A fifth-rank official from Mount Luofu reached out and clapped his hands, and saw all kinds of fruits and tableware materialize, arranged into a mountain, the banquet was about to begin, the flowers were like brocade, shining in the morning light.

Another person stood up, took out a pair of scissors, and cut out paper figures on the talisman twice, then threw them into the sky, and they immediately turned into countless maids and waiters, serving the banquet, a scene of fairy brocade, all in harmony, the group of waiters moved the colorful banners, all wearing red makeup and jade belts, the embroidered banquet was just about to begin, the incense was rising, the colorful clothes were light, and the wine was recommended by the jade bell.

Another person used his magical powers, and countless musical instruments suddenly floated in the air, including bells, chimes, drums, zithers, panpipes, pipa, qin and zither.

The musical instruments were not played by anyone, but they swayed in the air by themselves, playing beautiful music. The strings were filled with dragon fragrance and the sound echoed to the orioles under the flowers. The sound of metal, stone, silk and bamboo reached the top of the mountain. The rhythm and style were all smooth, clear and turbid, and the rhythm called out, echoing on the pond, and the sound waves stirred the water, as if there were fish jumping.

Then Lord Chang Xi tapped his fingers gently.

With a light sound, I saw a moon in the sky above the palace suddenly tilted.

The moonlight fell from the sky like water, but halfway down, I could already smell the aroma of wine. A river in the sky just happened to come here, and it merged with the moonlight. Suddenly, a strong fragrance came out. Some of the poorer cultivators on the scene suddenly had red faces from the wine, and were already drunk from the cigarette smoke.

But another fifth-rank monk stood up. He was pot-bellied and looked wealthy and kind. He was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a gourd in his hand, with a red nose and big drooping ears. His body began to grow larger, becoming as big as a star. The gourd in his hand naturally grew larger, and then he caught the river of wine that was enough to drown the world.

The gourd seemed endless, catching a sea of ​​wine.

Some people below were dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "Old Wang, do you want to eat alone?"

The wealthy Taoist laughed: "This is the wine brewed by Changxi Niangniang with the moonlight to carry the thoughts and sorrows of all living beings. How can I not drink enough this time?"

But as he said this, some people also stood up and competed with him. Several fifth-rank monks stood up to fight, and all kinds of magical powers that did not cause any harm but were interesting shone in the sky. Although fierce, it felt like a drinking game.

After finally driving the wealthy Taoist away, several people scrambled for the wine, and even played the magical power drinking game.

The younger generations below don't have to worry. The remnants of the long river of wine are enough for them to enjoy. Fighting for them is the adults' business.

The fourth-rank people like Grandma Mei are not in a hurry. They have their own special meals.

Since the great witch Changxi has already made a move, the goddess Luofu is not stingy. She also waved her sleeves and burst out with vitality.

Yin and Yang are transformed, and the air enters the layers of the sky, so the trees are shaken, the wind and the shore are wide, the waves are clear, and the fish are startled. In the sky, thousands of golden lotuses bloom in an instant, and the lush forests and bamboos are soaring. There are spiritual flowers blooming. In the tender bud season, the red calyx is moistened with dew, and the flowers are spitting out. The fragrance is transmitted from afar, as if in a different world.

Spiritual flowers, spiritual herbs, Ganoderma lucidum, spiritual bamboo, all kinds of plants and trees are in full bloom. Some are bearing fruit, some are blooming, some are leafing, and some are growing stems. All can be eaten raw. Bamboo shoots are peeled and sliced ​​by themselves, spiritual flowers are flying, and fruits are washed. A table is not shabby, and it can even be said to be a very luxurious vegetarian banquet. Everyone can reach out and eat.

The banquet started, and everyone was enjoying themselves. Even Li Shiwei was trying to defeat other seventh-rank disciples and compete with others for the wine and water falling from the sky. Many seventh-rank young people were flying in the air, passing by the Dharma images of the powerful, as if they were on an adventure. If they succeeded, they could get these wine and spiritual materials, and then they would get everyone's cheers and envious eyes.

Yang Ning was not idle either. She also joined the fifth-rank disciples in the drinking game, and her level was quite high, and she drank a lot. Others couldn't compete with her, and they joined forces to drive them away.

Shen Shuibi didn't go to compete. She just sat next to Luofu Niangniang and talked occasionally, just like the marginal people she always did.

As for Luofu Niangniang and Yue Mu Changxi, the two looked at Li Qi next to them.

Li Qi seemed to have entered the vast and boundless mist, and his expression seemed to be in some kind of... inexplicable sadness.

Unlike the joy of other people at the banquet, Li Qi was feeling the many things he had told Changxi in the past. Li Qi's feelings at that time were reappearing at this moment.

He seemed to be experiencing those things again. They were clearly things he had experienced before, but like brewed wine, the raw materials were the same, but the taste was different.

The ‘happiness’ and ‘joy’ of those times, when he savored them again now, there was a kind of… faint sadness.

Because Li Qi found that these joys seemed so insignificant.

It can only be described as insignificant.

The ecstasy when Shen Shuibi accepted him, and her many affairs in Chang'an, An Ning who taught Li Qi to play the flute in the Holy Flame Realm, and even almost missed the event because of staying in bed, including the experience in the underworld, the tension when giving birth to Li Shiwei, so many things, so many accumulated emotions...

These emotions have not changed, how Li Qi felt at that time, how he feels now, Lord Changxi's wine completely reproduced Li Qi's emotions at that time, allowing Li Qi to feel and recall every bit of his psychological activities at that time.

Yes, these emotions at that time have not changed, it is Li Qi who has changed.

The intense emotions at that time, feeling them again at this moment, only feel... the matter is too small.

Yes, the matter is too small.

Even if the ecstasy Li Qi felt at the moment when Shen Shuibi agreed to be with Li Qi, feeling it again, can't make him wave again.

The emotions have not changed, it's just that Li Qi's world has become bigger.

Children will cry or be happy because of a quarrel with the girl next door, but when they grow up and think about it again, they will probably just smile with relief.

Students are impulsive because of a temporary entertainment star, but middle-aged office workers rarely do so.

It's not because who is smarter than who, but because for children, the girl is half of his world, while for students, the star is all his entertainment life.

His world is so big, and when such a big world fluctuates, the reaction must be very big.

Office workers may not be smarter than students, but their world is bigger than that of students, so these things naturally occupy a smaller proportion of their world.

Li Qi suddenly realized that this is "capacity".

To put it bluntly, all human emotions are ultimately due to insufficient capacity.

These emotions and events have not changed in themselves, but the proportion they occupy in your world has become smaller. When you come a few more times, you will find that the emotions that once touched you 100% are no longer interesting to you, including the so-called suffering and hatred. This change can be called numbness, but it's probably the case.

The earth can accommodate the joys and sorrows of all people.

But many people cannot accommodate their own joys and sorrows, so there are so many things.

As for Li Qi, his capacity has grown a lot unconsciously, so that he can not only accommodate all the joys and sorrows of a certain person, but also will not cause any waves.

In other words, his emotions are no longer matched with his capacity.

The longer Li Qi spends in the distorted time and space, the more time he is retraced, and his previous short life, those love, hatred, and hatred become less and less important.

Li Qi really realized one thing, that is-time can smooth out all emotions, whether it is love or hate.

And...

Now he does not have enough love and hatred to support his empty capacity. All the life he has experienced, minus the retracing and distorting time and space, is only about a thousand years.

How can the accumulation of a thousand years be comparable to the nearly 100,000 years of retracing and distorting time and space?

Li Qi raised his head and woke up suddenly.

The disadvantage of distorting time and space is not only closed-door, but also smoothing people's Tao heart, causing Li Qi to be like this now.

Li Qi didn't want this to happen. What's the difference between this and being a walking corpse? The so-called supreme forgetfulness is not forgetfulness in essence.

But at this time, Empress Luofu attacked again. This time, she was no longer gentle, but knocked her finger and knocked Li Qi's head.

This time it was quite heavy. It was not a joke, but really a little angry. She repeated again: "Li Qi, don't think about those things anymore. This is a family dinner."

Li Qi was terrified and immediately stood up to apologize.

But Shen Shuibi pulled Empress Luofu's sleeve at this time.

Luofu Niangniang glanced at the rabbit and sighed: "Alas, Li Qi, you are a smart child, but too stubborn. You always like to use some insignificant things to force yourself, and Zhu Fengdan doesn't like to care about you..."

"I don't want to say too much about you, but I hope you can think about it carefully. Can you really see the whole picture of the world if you are entangled in one thing? If you can't see the whole picture of the world, how can you speculate about the world?"

"Just like now, you are obsessed with the thoughts in your mind, but do you think that what you think is more important than this family dinner?" Luofu Niangniang asked.

Li Qi didn't know the answer, but at least he knew that he shouldn't consider these things now.

So, he threw away these thoughts, stood up, and invited Shen Shuibi to go and watch the chase of the younger generations. Li Shiwei and other seventh-grade were in the sky not far away, following the gravitational ring of Taiyin to shuttle and leap, competing to chase the wine drops that naturally evaporated and condensed when they fell, shrinking their volume.

Of course, the volume was reduced, but a wine drop was still the size of a human head. Thousands of them fell together, like a heavy rain, and the aroma of wine was overwhelming. It was actually quite difficult for the seventh-rank people.

On the one hand, they didn't need to drink it, the smell alone made them drowsy and their faces flushed. They also had to find a way to catch the wine drops, which was indeed quite difficult. From time to time, you could see someone being hit by a wine drop, and then falling down. The sleeping people piled up in a row and were laughed at.

But some people opened their magic weapons and used their magical powers to take the precious wine back. Some even scrambled for it, because the density, speed, and even quality of the wine in different places were different. There were naturally many people in places that were easy to take and of good quality, and only a few people went to some difficult places.

This was the fine wine brewed by Moon Mother Changxi herself. Even if you don't drink it, you have to pack more to take back. It's not easy to take a third-grade thing.

The atmosphere was quite lively, and there was no real fire. It was just that everyone was fighting and laughing. Some people who were not strong enough were knocked unconscious by the wine and fell into a beautiful dream.

Shen Shuibi didn't hesitate, just got up and followed Li Qi.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi took their leave and went to a place not far away to watch how Li Shiwei performed.

This feeling was a bit like a parent visiting a child's school sports meeting.

Watching the two leave, Luofu Niangniang looked a little helpless.

"Girls don't stay when they grow up. Just get used to it. You have another one." Changxi joked.

"Another? Forget it." Empress Luofu looked at Yang Ning, who was already drunk and punching someone not far away, and the helplessness on her face became more serious.

On the other side, Shen Shuibi and Li Qi walked side by side, found a small boat brought by Guanghan, sat on the boat, and watched the farce of the banquet next to them.

Even now, the two of them are still marginal people at the banquet.

However, Li Qi looked at the noisy scene over there and suddenly said: "Yu'er... your weight in my heart has become lighter."

"Everything has become lighter in your heart, not just me." Shen Shuibi replied.

This answer made Li Qi turn back and look at Shen Shuibi.

This is really... So, did she know it all along?

However, Shen Shuibi leaned on Li Qi at this time: "But don't worry about these little things. Everything will eventually return to normal. You've been out for too long, it's normal, just stay at home for a while, it's fine."

"Is that so? Well, I've made a great contribution this time, it should be enough for our family to escape the war for a long time. When the time comes, we will go to Yunfang Dawu. After all, he is Shi Wei's master. Although he has never been a disciple, he is still very careful in teaching. We will stay there for a while and teach Shi Wei." Li Qi said so.

"If you have decided, that's good." Shen Shuibi did not raise any objections, she didn't care about this kind of thing.

That's good. (End of this chapter)
