Chapter 769 Negotiation

Establish a country in Baiyue?

Li Qi immediately realized the other party's purpose.

As mentioned before, the symbolic meaning of many things is powerful. For example... Dalu Kingdom was once Daluze, the place where the ancient saint emperor abdicated. Although the ancient saint emperor was only a fifth-rank at that time, this symbolic meaning itself was enough to attract the competition between humans and witches.

Just like being an official, will your power change in any way after you become an official?

The answer is that ordinary people are still ordinary people after becoming officials, but just a "title" is enough to suppress others, or even make others voluntarily work for you.

Correspondingly, there is a big difference between inserting a nail in Baiyue and directly establishing a country.

This is to give the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord the power to "create a country".

Quan means zhu, liang, jin, jun, and shi, so we can weigh things evenly and know the weight. It is also a scale, which can be used to weigh the weight. Du means a foot and a ruler, which can measure the length. Everything should be weighed and measured to know.

There are things and things. Only after weighing them can we know the importance; only after measuring can we know the length. This is true for all things, especially the heart.

It is said: "The nine hexagrams of the Book of Changes end with Xun to exercise power. Power is the great use of sages. If you cannot establish yourself and talk about power, it is like a person who cannot establish himself and wants to act, and he will rarely fail."

The so-called "power" actually refers to the ability to judge and measure, so it is said that someone "holds great power" for this purpose.

At this moment, the power of creating a country is the ability to judge Baiyue.

This can be regarded as asking Wushen Mountain to cede land.

"You are asking too much, Demon Lord, this may not be appropriate, right?" Li Qi responded immediately.

"Inappropriate? That's right. After all, Wushen Mountain may not fulfill its promise. I wonder if they are willing after the human way annexes Baiyue?" The Devouring Heaven Demon Lord said very calmly, his constantly flickering face completely concealed his expression, and his expression and mood could hardly be seen.

"Monster Lord, you may not always win when you place a bet. Once you place a bet and let it go, if you lose, you may not even be able to keep what you have now." Li Qi said.

The Heaven Devouring Demon Lord's tone fluctuated slightly: "Oh? Sir, you mean that even if I vote for the human side, you can still win, right?"

"Monster Lord, you are really brave. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now, so that both the human and the witch side will not have you as a variable." Li Qi said in a gentle tone.

The Sky Devouring Demon Lord showed no fear, but continued: "But you need variables, don't you? The total strength invested by humans and witches is about the same. Every variable is precious to you and may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"The current situation, young master must be very clear. Whether it is human or witch, they have the ability to completely destroy the Baiyue area. Even if you take action, it is very easy to refine the entire Baiyue from the ground to the underground for 100,000 miles into bullets in a quarter of an hour."

"But if you do this, it is equivalent to losing, because you can't get the Holy Emperor's ruins, which is equivalent to destroying the treasure yourself, and wasting a lot of combat power in vain."

"So, you need We must stop the other party from doing so, and restrain ourselves from doing so. As long as the situation is not irreversible, then a double-lose situation is an unwise choice. "The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Lord said: "In this case, any neutral force will accelerate this process. First of all, the strength of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Realm is not strong, and it has not reached the point where entering the field means forcing humanity to overturn the table. You can accept us with confidence without worrying that humanity will give up the fight directly, but at the same time, I am here, and I can provide enough help. "

"Looking at the current Baiyue, there is a suitable force like the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Realm, but it is hard to find it even with a lantern. Isn't it worth paying some price?"

The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Lord said this, and at the same time, he was also looking at Li Qi's appearance.

Li Qi still looked indifferent, with a smile on his face, and remained calm.

It is normal to remain calm. He has reached the fourth grade, and no matter what, his capacity is enough. Perhaps some fourth-grade people will be happy and angry, and do everything in a big way, but that is only because the other party's personality and path are unwilling to hide their emotions, which does not mean that they cannot restrain themselves.

After watching for a while, he couldn't see anything, so he continued to say: "Young Master, you must know that human hearts are like flowing water, with grass and trees in it. They flow away without looking at each other. The front does not look back, and the back does not look forward. The grass and trees flow, each as before, and the human heart is the same. One thought comes and one thought goes, just like the grass and trees do not look back and forth."

"But, the grass and trees have a direction to flow after all, and this direction is the 'big trend'."

"And where the big trend is going, in fact, it depends on the air flow floating on the surface. Now, under the balance of the big trend, I am just a straw to lay the foundation for the victory for you, right? After all, my joining is not just a few dozen fifth-grade combat forces, this is Wanchi Da The movements of the Saint and the Great Saint who Moved Mountains, right? "

At this time, Li Qi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and said: "The Tao is to make the people agree with the Lord, so they can die with him and live with him without fear of danger. With the Tao as the leader, how can we worry about people's hearts? How many people can help depends on whether the Tao is compatible, not on the people's hearts. "

The Devouring Heaven Demon Lord immediately responded: "For us, the nine lands of the world, this is naturally the case. The Tao is like bones. If grass has bones, it will not be blown by the wind or hit by the rain. The world flows by without moving, but among the billions of creatures in this world, how many have bones? Doesn't that mean they have no power and cannot become a big trend?"

"Of all the creatures in this world, in the final analysis, most of them are just bigger, smarter, bugs of different shapes."

"Insects are poking and hopping around, and unprincipled people are also poking and hopping around. They will stop crying if it is useless. If crying is useful, they will continue to cry. If practicing is useless, they will not practice, because The benefits of practicing will give you the motivation to practice. These creatures will constantly adjust their attitudes based on the feedback, and decide what they want to do in life based on the simplest things like 'good food' and 'bad food'."

"For these people, the general trend is the only credible 'Tao', and now, sir, let's see, in the entire Baiyue, how many people can be led by Tao?" The Sky-Swallowing Demon advocated opening his hands, surrounding him The accretion disk naturally expands, moves out, and then spreads out.

As a monster who has been working in the Baiyue area for tens of thousands of years, he knows very well that among so many people in Baiyue, even the leaders of the Baiyue Kingdom have no "Tao" to speak of. They are just large paramecia.

This is often the case for unethical people and an unethical world.

If you can't find your own way, you will naturally drift with the tide, with your heart like grass and trees. The former does not care about the future, and the latter does not care about the front. At that time, the arrival of the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord will naturally guide people's hearts and increase Li Qi's winning rate.

The Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven thought a lot, and finally got this result.

As long as this point is grasped, Li Qi will still compromise in the end. The nation-building power obtained from Wu Shenshan will be enough to verify Yaodao's plan...

The Great Sage Yishan has been planning this for a long time.

However, at this time, Li Qi suddenly said: "If that's the case, then Demon Lord, please come back. The power to build a country is not trivial. I can't decide it with just one word. Demon Lord can ask humanity how to choose."

This answer made the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord stunned.

"Young master, are you sure?" Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven asked, saying that he was asking Li Qi if he was 'sure', but his own tone became uncertain.

Does Li Qi still have a trump card? Where do you get the confidence to say this?

Li Qi smiled and replied: "What the Demon Lord said is certainly reasonable. If the situation remains unchanged, it will be the same as what the Demon Lord said, and there will be no flaws."

"As long as you don't treat people as human beings, nothing will change. The rise and fall of Baiyue through the ages, all kinds of tragedies, leading beasts to eat people, and fighting in various directions are nothing more than the word 'innocent'."

Having said this, Li Qi stood up and walked forward, walking in the air, and approached the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven: "So, if they are ignorant, I will give it to them. I will spread the people's wisdom in Baiyue, build academies, and spread the light." The Dharma door allows them to break away from the world and start to think about their own way. In this way, they can lead it and achieve what I said before. "The way is for the people to agree with the superiors, so they can die with it and live with it. Instead of being afraid of danger. "

"What does the Demon Lord think of such a decision?" Li Qi asked: "So, should the Demon Lord seek refuge in humanity, or should he stay here?"

Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven's eyes flashed, he straightened up, and looked at Li Qi carefully up and down without any regard for etiquette.

This young master from Wushen Mountain is very courageous.

Because Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven knows that this is actually a humane approach.

However, although this is a humane approach, Humanity will definitely not do this. Even if he goes to Humanity, Humanity will definitely not be able to educate Baiyue.

From the humane point of view, Baiyue is the enemy, and there is no need to show mercy to the enemy. From the humane point of view, if he wins, Baiyue will definitely be the spoils of war, and it doesn't matter if he gives some to Yaodao, so he can basically It is certain that the human side will definitely agree to it, and the power to build the country that the two great sages want will be at their fingertips.

On one side is Li Qi's rejection, on the other side is humanity's almost inevitable agreement.

From a profit perspective, there is no doubt that we should turn around and go to the humanitarian side.

only--

I just said one thing.

If you can't find your own way, you will naturally drift with the crowd, with your heart like grass and trees. The former does not care about the future, and the latter does not care about the front. Like a paramecium, they decide what they want in life based on the simplest "tastes" and "untastes". How to do it.

However, if you find your own way, you will naturally have muscles and bones, know where to go, and where to go. At this time, interests are not the only consideration. In fact...interests are the most likely to be given up. , the least important thing.

As a result, the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven burst out laughing, and then asked, "Sir, are you so sure that I will agree?"

"If you agree, that's for the best. If you don't agree, then it's natural that we have different ways and don't want to work together." Li Qi said very plainly.

Because humanity does not treat people as human beings, but the demon clan greatly appreciates Li Qi's attitude. The demon clan and the witchcraft have a consensus, that is: "all things have animism."

In the eyes of demons and witches, although all things are different due to abilities, they are all fundamentally equal.

But humanity does not recognize this.

To humanity, the people of Baiyue are no different from pigs and dogs. Regarding this, Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven is actually quite unhappy. Although he may not be a good and merciless monster, no matter it is good or bad, in the final analysis, he is still Treat other living things as the same kind.

But humanity is far more cruel than this. Humanity does not take living things other than 'human beings' seriously at all, and treats them completely as some kind of resources or tools.

And Li Qi's idea of ​​​​preparing to 'preach' is obviously much better than humanity.

Even if we lose money, even if our interests cannot be maximized, if we can get along, what does it matter?

The Sky Devouring Demon Lord said with a bow: "That's good. As long as you promise me that you can build a school and allow me to join you when you preach, then even if you don't want the right to create a country, the Sky Devouring Demon Territory can contribute to you."

"Okay, then it's a deal." Li Qi nodded, and while speaking, he finally walked in front of the Sky Devouring Demon Lord and stretched out his hand to him.

The Sky Devouring Demon Lord hesitated for a moment, and then he also shook Li Qi's hand.

The two shook hands and swore an oath. After that, the Sky Devouring Demon Lord turned and left, turned into a stream of light, and prepared for war.

After all, he had to face humanity. Although he said it with confidence, it would be a lot of pressure to do it.

After watching the other party leave, Li Qi looked at Shen Shuibi.

"The Sky Devouring Demon Lord is really broad-minded and courageous. He dared to stand on your side in this situation." Rabbit said so.

"He doesn't have such a broad mind. Wanchi Great Saint and Yishan Great Saint wouldn't think so highly of him. He must not be a profit-seeking person to be entrusted with important power by the two great saints. To persuade them, we can't rely on the exchange of interests, but on the path to get closer. In this regard, Wu Dao has a natural advantage. After all... Wu Dao and Lich Dao have once united." Li Qi said so.

"But interests are also indispensable. After all, the other party is not a fellow Dao. If it really comes to the moment of life and death, it is impossible to die for Wu Dao. These also need to be calculated in advance." Shen Shuibi reminded.

"I will save it." Li Qi nodded: "Then, Yu'er, I'll trouble you to supervise. The Lord of Baiyue is restless. Although the human army is pressing on the border, their minds are suppressed, but the human will certainly not attack directly, so they may have second thoughts while doing it. You still need to keep an eye on them."

"Okay, leave it to me." Shen Shuibi did not refuse and nodded and left.

As for Li Qi, he stayed where he was.

He needed to think about the entire strategy.

And... he also planned to personally meet the fighting power of the human side.

Just like when he went to find Liu Junyi, he went to see who his enemy was in advance. Even if he might expose himself, he could see the other party clearly.

Because Li Qi's own background must be completely exposed to the human side. He is quite famous, and many of his methods have been leaked. He is not afraid of being leaked, but as long as he looks at the other party, he can see through the other party if he really knows Yun.

Moreover, even if he knows this, the human side will never refuse to meet.

This is the human side, whether it is a tyrant or a king, they are like this.
