Myriad Paths

Regardless of Guangyang Sikong's attempts to stay, Li Qi left directly.

Everything is temporarily under his arrangement.

Guangyang Sikong is weak and cherishes his life, but he is not really stupid.

If you really try to recruit this kind of person, you won't be able to trust him or help him.

So stop there.

First point out your self-confidence and show your attitude. The other party will definitely look down on you and then make up a lot of things for you.

It's most useful if you don't explain it clearly.

The five words "Master Wushenshan" were enough for this man to figure out a lot of things.

Then, he told him some things about monk Zenzhi, and then mixed in some lies that could not be distinguished.

For example, Li Qi said that Chanzhi knew the location of Sikong in Guangyang, and his concealment was meaningless.

is that true?

The devil knows.

Anyway, Guangyang Sikong couldn't verify it. People who are weak, suspicious and cherish their lives are most afraid of this kind of thing.

Plus his final departure.

Also, Guangyang Sikong didn’t know how he found him.

The two elements combined, combined with Li Qi's words, are enough to make a cowardly and cunning person scare himself and then think about it for a long time.

Li Qi was very confident that this person would come to him on his own later.

Of course, if he doesn't come, Li Qi has other options.

So, two of the four forces he mentioned at the beginning have already taken refuge in him.

That is, the local forces in Guangyang, and Wang Baiyan, who belongs to humanity.

The remaining two forces are monk Zenzhi and the Jianghu forces headed by Zhengjian Palace.

Monk Zen Zhi is hostile, needless to say.

And the Jianghu forces headed by Zhengjian Palace are also fast.

Li Qi returned to the secret manor of Xiajiumen.

He sat next to Shen Shuibi.

Shen Shuibi was in a daze, but when she saw Li Qi coming back, she tilted her head and gathered some energy: "Back? Have you finished handling it?"

"The only thing left is the Zhengjian Palace. However, I left a letter to Zhang Lan before I left. It shouldn't take long." Li Qi nodded, then lay down next to the rabbit and stretched.

Rabbit also fell back and slept next to Li Qi. Then he turned over, turned sideways, looked at Li Qi, and said to him:

"By the way, I've been thinking about that wisp of demonic charm for a long time and searched for a lot of information. Although I haven't found anything that can be confirmed, the desires of mortals often appear in dreams. This is a sure proof of delusions and confusion."

"When you hide that thing, be careful in your dreams."

"Okay, I'll be careful." Li Qi remembered it in his heart.

Regarding the magic rhyme that day, one cannot be too careful.

"So, are you okay now?" Shen Shuibi asked again.

"It's okay for the time being. Monk Zenzhi can also take a rest for the time being." Li Qi replied.

"That's it." Rabbit heard this, stopped talking, and then closed his eyes.

She was ready to sleep.

Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, it was time to rest.

Therefore, Li Qi, who had not slept for a minute in the past ten days or so, directly pulled a quilt over, covered the two of them, and began to sleep.

The main body in the fifth-level pagoda naturally began to sleep.

A long-lost rest.

In the trance of sleep, Li Qi vaguely felt that his body was light and airy.

But this is also normal.

He slept for four or five hours until he woke up naturally.

After a good sleep, I feel refreshed.

After getting up, Rabbit had already woken up and was meditating next to him.

The posture is quite nice, sitting with his hands on his knees.

Li Qi did know that this was a part of her practice, called 'The Xuan of Negating the Sun'.

When the sun is fine and the wind is calm, sit under the south window with the sun behind you. Your spine will feel slightly warm, which can make your whole body smooth. The sun is the essence of the sun, and its light strengthens people's yang energy and is extremely beneficial.

By collecting yang energy, is she preparing herself to condense the yang spirit?

That's all, don't bother her anymore.

Li Qi also got up.

Counting the time, it should be coming soon.

After getting up, there was no need to say much about washing. The followers of Xiajiumen also prepared Jiliang water for him to wash his body.

Jiliang water, which means precious grains, is mixed with high-grade fragrances and brewed for the essence of grains. It can be used to wash the body in all directions. The fragrance can benefit the orifices and relieve vitality. Therefore, those who use it can remove dirt without lacking essence. Nature is better than anything else.

Pretty particular about it.

Of course, Li Qi usually didn't care much about this. He usually didn't care about eating and sleeping in the open. He could at most just wash it off with clean water.

But now in the city, when these people start to fawn over him, there are more tricks.

Not only water is important, but other things are also important.

Such as food.

In Guangyang, the taste is sweet, so dates, chestnuts, malts, and honey are indispensable in daily meals. Eat sweet meals. According to the chef, this is called "sweet to please the spleen, smooth to soothe the spleen and yang." The ointment is used to benefit spleen yin, and it can be used as a medicinal bait after taking it. ’

Today's breakfast is like this. It is deer tail porridge in the morning, plus some side dishes.

Take the best quality deer tail, then air-dry it, remove the fat film, and there is coagulated blood in it, like tender liver. You can tell it is a treasure at a glance. Chop it into pieces and cook it into porridge. It is clear but not greasy, and has a unique fragrance.

Another side dish is jujube soaked in sugarcane pulp. Eating it nourishes the spleen, calms stomach qi, moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, nourishes the five Tibetans, and harmonizes with hundreds of medicinal herbs. It is as tender as egg white, decoction is twice as sweet, and it can also relieve polydipsia.

I am so particular about what I eat, and even more so after the meal.

After eating, there will be a slight dripping between the teeth, which is the most tired. Xiajiumen specially uses willow wood to cut sticks and tie them with tiger whiskers, then boil strong tea, wait for it to cool and rinse it out.

If Li Qi hadn't strongly asked them not to have anyone serve him, it would have been possible for Li Qi to have someone responsible for his food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and a few beauties would have to be responsible for picking his teeth after meals.

Unfortunately, Li Qi is not very interested in this kind of thing.

He didn't bother to use the prepared things, such as toothpicks. He didn't stuff his teeth, so why use toothpicks?

After eating and rinsing his mouth, he lay down in the yard and closed his eyes to meditate.

In fact, it’s not about closing your eyes and resting your mind, but about freeing up energy for your true body.

On the other side, his body began to get up again, studying the demonic thoughts of monk Zen Zhi.

The more you study, the more you will know about Zen wisdom.

Li Qi was making preparations intensively.

Guangyang City seems to have returned to normal, and people are living as normal as ever.

The blood sacrifice and the invasion of the Sky-Swallowing Demon Nest seemed to have nothing to do with these people.

Li Qi's life continued for another day.

Then, someone finally came looking for him.

Still in the secret manor of Xiajiumen, Li Qi, who was lying dead, suddenly opened his eyes.

A guard suddenly rushed in from outside, knelt on one knee, and reported to Li Qihui with his hands raised: "Sir! According to what you said about Long Ju, we have found the person. He is waiting outside now!"

Yes, in the past few days, Li Qi has been mobilizing the power of the Nine Gates to find Lao Ma.

The old horse is the mark left by Li Qi to Zhang Lan. With the old horse, it will not be difficult to find Zhang Lan.

Li Qi had already thought about this step when he made this decision.

"Bring him in quickly." Li Qi stood up while distracted, and after finishing speaking, he walked out quickly without waiting for invitation.

Waited for so long! Zhang Lan is finally here!

But before he could go very far, Li Qi heard a clicking sound after he only took two or three steps and walked out of the door.

This is the crisp sound of horse hooves stepping on the stone slabs.

Then, there was the sound of Lu Lu Lu.

Li Qi felt happy.

This was Lao Ma's voice, and he was very familiar with it.

So, he stood in front of the door.

Soon, I saw Zhang Lan walking around the corner holding the old horse.

When Zhang Lan saw Li Qi, his face was full of surprise.

But Lao Ma was not surprised, but pleasantly surprised.

His big horse face twisted with joy, he broke away from Zhang Lan's reins, accelerated his speed, and ran towards Li Qi.

When Li Qi saw this, he smiled widely.

It has to be a horse that I raise, it’s such a close family member!

Li Qi stood there waiting for Lao Ma.

The old horse came running at lightning speed, with traces of green thunder lingering around him. These green thunders were the manifestation of the old horse's acceleration.

Li Qi smiled and stood in front of the door, waving his hands at the same time to ask everyone around him to move away.

Everyone from Xiajiumen withdrew.

Then, Lao Ma glanced at Li Qi, didn't slow down at all, and directly knocked him out of the doorway.

Zhang Lan stopped and covered his eyes.

It hurts to look at it.

Li Qi's golden body was shattered! The whole person flew out, and was burned black by the blue thunder emitted by the old horse!

If it were his body, this would only make him embarrassed at most, but he was distracted and had no ability to resist, and was directly knocked out by the old horse. Fortunately, the old horse didn't use any force, so he could still repair it.

As for Lao Ma, he knocked Li Qi away, swung his butt and went in to find Shen Shuibi.

The rabbit was awakened by the sound outside and woke up from his trance.

She looked at the old horse rushing over.

Lao Ma also braked repeatedly and stood still in front of the bed.

Then he took out a basket of carrots from the mustard bag.

One for myself and one for the old horse.

The old horse raised his head and neighed happily, and Shen Shuibi touched his mane.

Then the horse and the rabbit started to eat the carrots on the spot.

He actually looked very happy!

Zhang Lan was overjoyed and laughed loudly. He walked forward and helped Li Qi up from the ground: "Haha, brother Li, you don't usually take care of the horses, right? Miss Shen does it for you?"

Li Qi's golden body healed naturally and quickly returned to normal.

After all, it is just transformed by the scent of incense, and actually has no physical body. As long as the scent of incense is not injured, it is just a minor injury.

Li Qi could only laugh awkwardly: "Hahaha... I'm usually busy and I can't take any time out, hahaha."

However, he got up from the ground and coughed twice: "Ahem, okay, don't talk about that, don't talk about that, Brother Zhang, have you read the things in my letter?"

When it came to business, Zhang Lan was no longer in the mood to make fun of Li Qi. He also said:

"The people have been settled in the small world, and I have arranged for the White Rhinoceros Army to be broken into pieces and dispersed among the people."

"Brother Li is thoughtful and thoughtful, and what he said makes perfect sense, so I have completed all the arrangements. But I don't know why, why don't you let me go find the chief swordsman?"

"The opponent is the seventh grade. If we don't find an equal seventh grade to help us fight, there will be no fight at all." Zhang Lan sighed.

The gap between the seventh and eighth grades is too big. Although it seems that there is only one grade difference, if it is placed on a specific path, it may be five or six realms different.

It's like the ninth level of martial arts and the eighth level of martial arts. Although there is only one level of difference, there is actually a gap in the three major realms of training one's mind, training one's heart, and training one's spirit.

Only by crossing three major realms and condensing martial arts and divine will can one be considered to be at the eighth level.

The difference is not as simple as a grade.

Grades are just for convenience of classification, and you need to clearly understand the huge differences.

But Li Qi said: "Brother Zhang, don't ask. It's best not to inform the people in Zhengjian Palace at this time. I understand your concerns, but now is not the time."

"Why isn't it the right time? I'm afraid you don't know the strength of the chief swordsman of my Zhengjian Palace. He has reached the seventh level of martial arts. His mind, body, spirit, mind and skills are integrated into one. Although he is still far from the sixth level. He is only one level away from the unification of the world, but he is definitely a strong person in the seventh level. He is just a monk. If he comes, it will definitely not be a problem," Zhang Lan said confidently.

"How does the chief swordsman of Zhengjian Palace compare with Guangyang Sima?" Li Qi asked.

"We can win even with 30% of our strength." Zhang Lan raised his head and was extremely proud: "If all the sword masters gather together and set up a star sword formation, even two Guangyang Sima will be no match for him!"

"Then let me tell you, three Guangyang Sima-level masters besieged the monk together. The result was that one died and two escaped. The dead one was refined into a puppet, and the monk was unscathed and not even injured. Are you still prepared? Call the chief?" Li Qi said again.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly turned cold.

Zhang Lan's expression became serious, he thought about it for a moment, shook his head, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, they are both seventh grade, no matter how strong they are, there is only a limit to how strong they can be!"

"Then what do you think of my strength among the ninth ranks? How many ninth ranks can I kill at once?" Li Qi asked again.

Zhang Lan replied: "Brother Li, you are mistaken. The ninth-grade realm is too low, and the strength is uneven. It is normal for monks with orthodox methods to have a big gap with the casual cultivators of the Zajia. But by the seventh-grade, the Zajia monks have been eliminated." It’s almost the same, everyone has their feet, the gap won’t be too big.”

Li Qi asked back: "What if the orthodox method you think is also a miscellaneous family? In the eyes of that monk's orthodoxy, do you think those of you who can only practice to the sixth or fifth level are very advanced?"

This sentence stopped Zhang Lan.

He seemed to have never thought about this problem.

He travels around the world and travels to more than a dozen countries. At a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles, Zhengjian Palace's method cannot be said to be the top, but at least it is in the middle and upper reaches. No matter where it is, it can be considered to be on the stage. power.

but……

What Li Qi said seemed to make sense.

"The monk's heels have been found to be directly inherited from Mahakala's lineage. For him, the ordinary seventh-grade is to deliver food." Li Qi said.

There was one thing Li Qi didn't say. The terrifying record of one against three, killing one and escaping two, was achieved when Monk Zenzhi was haunted by demonic thoughts and in extremely poor condition.

In other words, unless Li Qi went to move a sixth-grade person over, otherwise he would casually go to a seventh-grade person for help, which would be just looking for someone to die.

Guangyang Sikong was in the local area and Monk Zenzhi also knew of his existence, so it didn't matter whether he was found or not, he was in the game from the beginning.

But the people in the Zhengjian Palace were outsiders. If the outsiders were pulled out rashly, the news of the arrival of the seventh grade would alarm Chan Zhi, and Li Qi was even more afraid that it would be useless if they came.

Therefore, Li Qi did not prepare to summon the seventh-level outsiders.

Zhang Lan gritted his teeth and said, "What if the palace master comes? It should be possible, right?"
