Myriad Paths

While listening to the introduction of the two men from Honglu Temple, Li Qi also looked at the streets along the way from the car window.

bustling.

There really is no other adjective other than that.

This is a huge city with a population of billions.

The huge popularity swept everything, making the heaven and earth surrender, the sun, moon and stars avoid, and the rules suppressed everything. Here, the wind must blow according to people's wishes, and the rain must fall according to people's wishes.

Li Qi could even see the 'weather forecast' on the terminal in his hand.

What’s outrageous is that this weather forecast directly predicts the entire year!

All the weather has been arranged for this year and everything is planned.

All natural phenomena must be regulated to ensure they are the most 'fit'.

Honglu Temple introduced some customs to Li Qi. About half an hour later, the car finally stopped after traveling for more than three hundred miles.

"Ah, are you here already? By the way, are you interested in attending the banquet tonight, sir? Some students who also come to study from other places happen to have a dinner under the arrangement of Honglu Temple. If you attend, you will definitely be able to take the place. Being a distinguished guest can also spread some reputation," Fang Yuanzheng suggested as he got off the car.

The Tang State was not the type that closed itself off to the country. In fact, there were many foreign students, but not many of them could enter the Imperial Academy.

In addition to Taixue, there are many schools in Chang'an, and their students are not even necessarily the best in the world.

Among all the worlds, the most top geniuses often have to choose one person from millions of worlds to come to the Tang Kingdom to study, which can be called a volume within a volume.

Being able to show your face among this group of people can indeed spread your reputation.

However, it's not necessary.

Li Qi shook his head: "That's all, it's just a bit of a false reputation, so I'll say goodbye. Chen Lingcheng, Fang's regular customer, see you in the future. Thank you for being with me today and introducing so many things to me."

"Young master, don't worry about your duties. Everything you need has been stored in your terminal. Admission procedures, precautions, and maps are all there. If you don't understand, or if you encounter trouble, you can also contact us. I'm waiting, the contact information has been stored in it, just contact me directly," Fang Yuanzheng said kindly.

"Thank you." Li Qi thanked him.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Young Master, please remember that although the Central Plains is large, it cannot tolerate people who break laws and disciplines. If you have a conflict or quarrel with others, you must not directly take action. Otherwise, under the law, even the Young Master will have to fight with others. The common people are all guilty." When Fang Yuanzheng said this, he became seriously serious.

"Thanks for the tip, Li Qi will keep it in mind." Li Qi nodded.

After saying that, the people from Honglu Temple said nothing more, got out of the car, said goodbye to Li Qi, and then drove away.

Only Li Qi was left, holding the rabbit in his hands, standing in the dormitory arranged for him by Honglu Temple.

Taixue cannot live on campus and there are no dormitories. Students find their own accommodation.

Li Qi definitely didn't have a place to live, so Honglu Temple arranged for him to live in a small courtyard, which was also called "entering the temple" before.

Although it is said to be a separate courtyard, it is actually no different from the ordinary residential buildings around it, covering an area of ​​about two to three hundred square meters.

The Tang State did not give Li Qi any preferential treatment. If Li Qi's status as a young master was taken into account, this arrangement could even be said to be "shabby".

However, Li Qi didn't care much about this, because he read the regulations issued by Honglu Temple and found that the specifications were exactly like this, and everything was done in accordance with the regulations.

If Li Qi wants to live in a better place, then he can find it by himself. Anyway, the only arrangement is this small courtyard, so it doesn't matter if he wants to rent it by himself.

"No money." Li Qi shook his head, hugged Shen Shuibi, and walked into this villa.

The door of this other courtyard is also a magic weapon. It cannot be opened by ordinary methods. You can only open it through the terminal issued to you by Honglu Temple. It contains your own personal authentication and has the authority to open this magic weapon.

All houses are magic weapons, which is a bit outrageous when you think about it, but...if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem that outrageous.

Just like primitive people living in caves, modern people live in reinforced concrete houses.

Primitive people thought industrialization was a miracle. There was so much iron and concrete, so endless. They could only use stone tools, and iron tools were beyond their wildest dreams.

But for modern people, living in reinforced concrete houses is simply natural. Who would live in a cave?

It's the same now.

For residents in the Baiyue area, living in ordinary wooden houses is normal, but living in magic treasure houses is unthinkable.

In the eyes of Chang'an people, isn't it natural that a house is a magic weapon for automation? This is how everyone builds it.

The gap between Baiyue and Tang is reflected in the most basic basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Compared with Baiyue, this is an all-round transcendence.

When Li Qi walked to the door of the other courtyard, he saw an old man taking a walk.

This should be my neighbor, right? He looks like a mortal, with some cultivation, but no real talent. He looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, with a straight back and good spirits.

Since they all bumped into each other, Li Qi said hello: "Good afternoon, uncle."

The uncle also responded: "Okay, okay, young man, have you just moved here? No one lived here before."

"Yes, I just arrived today, and I should live here from now on. How old are you?" Li Qi stopped with Shen Shuibi in his arms and greeted the old man on the crosswalk.

"I'm two hundred and five years old this year!" The old man replied in a loud voice: "What about you, young man? How did you move here?"

Two hundred and five years old! ?

Li Qi was stunned and glanced at the old gentleman.

Really, you can't tell at all.

The other party is not good at all, how can he live to be two hundred and five years old? And he's still in such good spirits?

However, it was only a moment of shock, and Li Qi immediately regained his composure.

The only things that can achieve this are a peaceful living environment, universal practice, and complete medical facilities.

Afterwards, Li Qi said to him: "The old man is so energetic that you can't even tell that he is two hundred years old. Well, I came to Taixue to study, so I live here."

When the old gentleman heard that Li Qi was a student of Taixue, his eyes immediately widened!

"Ouch! I haven't noticed that he is actually a prince student!" The old gentleman almost jumped up in shock: "Good boy, good boy, really good, really good."

He seemed a little excited: "This is really a good thing for my old Liu family. By the way, by the way, kid, just wait a minute." As he said that, he ran to the house next door.

That agile man doesn't look like he's two hundred years old.

Li Qi stopped in place curiously, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.

After a while, the old man came out with a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

Li Qi stared at the child...

This child has a demonic aura about him.

He's a half-demon, not a pure-blooded human.

But the child didn't seem to have any special feelings. Instead, he looked at Li Qi with reverence, holding a red envelope in both hands, and said to Li Qi: "Brother, this is for you!"

The old gentleman also urged: "Child, take it and ask for good luck."

ah? Are the people of Tang Dynasty so enthusiastic?

Seeing the other party's heartfelt surprise, Li Qi couldn't even refuse.

He could also feel that this was completely out of inner joy and blessing, plus some auspicious customs.

Although it was not very clear, Li Qi also accepted the red envelope, clasped his hands together, and responded with a smile: "Thank you very much."

To do this, he even squatted down and put the rabbit aside.

Fortunately, the rabbit has been silent from the beginning and is still in the red-warm silent state, so no one pays attention to her strange rabbit wearing a small skirt.

After receiving the red envelope, the old gentleman and his grandson chatted for a while.

I talked about how I would help my children with their homework when I had time, and if I needed anything, I would contact them, they were familiar with the area, whether the furniture was ready, and if I needed any help.

Li Qi naturally responded politely.

After the greetings, the grandfather and grandson watched Li Qi enter the house. Li Qi could still hear the old man educating the child in a low voice, saying, 'Watch carefully, and learn from this brother in the future. ’ something like that.

Li Qi listened to these words, walked into the courtyard, and opened the red envelope at the same time.

What was inside was not copper coins or silver coins, but pieces of red paper with many auspicious words written on them.

If you look closely, you will see that there are words such as "No disaster in the past, no harm in the future", "The son of the unicorn in the sky, the number one scholar in the world".

This made Li Qi happier than holding the money. He packed the red paper and put it in the mustard bag.

He knew more about the Tang Dynasty.

But...how to compare with Wushen Mountain?

Li Qi opened the door and looked around the small courtyard, comparing it with Wushen Mountain.

The conclusion is……

About the same level?

They are indeed similar, but there are too many differences in style.

When I went to the banquet, when I was in the cave, and when I was on the road and saw the decoration between the spiritual peaks, I could see that Wushen Mountain could be very advanced if it was willing.

However, apart from personal hobbies, Wushenshan is not willing to make too many changes to the nature of the world, nor does it want to improve everyone's lives.

Let nature take its course, which means that most people and animals are the same in the eyes of shamans. Their death and reproduction are part of the natural change.

If you can embark on the path of spiritual practice and live forever, it is the result of your own efforts, and the witchcraft will not deliberately stop you.

If you can't, that's a given and they won't go out of their way to help you.

The scene in Baiyue Zone is like this.

All living beings are equal, and so are people.

Humanity is just the opposite.

Ordinary old people can live to be two hundred years old and still be so energetic, which is enough to show that humanity actually cares about these ordinary people and will specifically provide them with universal medical care and education.

But Li Qi could also see the large-scale occupation carried out to support these people.

There is no shortage of large amounts of meat at street stalls and terminals, which must be the result of large-scale breeding.

The 'breeding' behavior that is invisible in the Baiyue land of witchcraft has obviously become a matter of course in Chang'an, the humane land.

The two orthodoxies have different understandings of the world, which directly leads to completely different changes in the social model.

Breeding is extremely cruel and unfair to the creatures being farmed, and witchcraft does not advocate it.

But breeding is very convenient and effective for the one being supported, so humanity has popularized this model on a large scale.

Li Qi once again understood what the struggle for orthodoxy was.

Taoists have different understandings of the world, and the things they do are also different.

Conflict comes from this.

Is it the humane thing to do? I am afraid that other species that have been farmed and occupied will not feel this way. Among these invaded races, there are definitely some types with innate intelligence.

Is what Wu Dao does right? How to explain the feudal era that lasted for countless years? Compared with the people of Chang'an, they don't seem to live in the same world at all.

In this matter, I'm afraid I can't tell the difference between right and wrong. All I have is what I think is the 'way'.

only……

Humanity does not seem to be limited to the species 'human'.

Because there seem to be some monsters and other races on the street who have human rights and terminals in their hands. Even the child from before was half-demon, and one of his parents should be a monster.

It shows that monsters also have human rights.

Extending it further, Li Qi guessed that human nature should be 'Those who agree with me are of the same kind. ’

If you don't recognize it...

The Tang State's tyranny and aggressiveness towards the outside world have been demonstrated many times, so there is no need to say more.

Continuing to think about these things in his mind, Li Qi sat on the chair in this room.

This was a desk by the window. He placed Shen Shuibi on the table. He continued to meditate and summarize what he saw and heard along the way, while taking out a pen and paper to help him think.

Normally, before I came, someone from Wushen Mountain would have told me some common sense about the Tang Dynasty, but...

This time I didn't come here under normal circumstances. In fact, I came here after doing something bad, so I didn't receive any pre-job training.

But it doesn't matter. Li Qi found it more interesting to outline a specific image of the Tang Dynasty bit by bit.

Because he rushed here suddenly, it was still a full month before the start of the Taixue term.

Besides, even after school starts, you can still go out for a walk.

There is still a lot of time for me to witness this country at the center of the world with my own eyes.

After sorting out the information and insights, he began to draw a mind map to help him better sort out clues.

As soon as you start thinking, time suddenly speeds up.

It went from noon to night in no time.

The sun sets and the moon rises.

However, Li Qi didn't feel anything was wrong.

Because while he was immersed in writing, Shen Shuibi had already silently turned on the light for him.

The red sleeves add fragrance and light the lamp at night, and the shadow of the candle floats on the screen and illuminates the distant wind.

The rabbit returned to his human form, leaning slightly on the couch on the other side, silently looking at his back.

In fact... I have been showing up in the shape of a rabbit all day today and I haven't spoken a word. It's not because I'm shy.

But because...

pain.

But you can't tell Li Qi about this.

Shen Shuibi had a hunch that if she told him, something bad would happen.

But it should be fine tomorrow, right?

Li Qi has already applied for medical treatment, and after he recovers from his injury, he will be able to do a lot more.

You have to start thinking about how to accumulate wealth after recovering from your injury. At least you have to pay off the debts of the people in Luofu Mountain and Yang Ning.

In this way, I will not become a drag on the empress.

In this way, one person and one rabbit fell into deep thought.
