Myriad Paths

In the carriage, four young masters from Wushenshan were chatting.

To be precise, there were only three chatting, and one of them only said one sentence.

Boyue seemed to be unable to listen anymore, and finally interrupted the topic: "Stop talking about me, I want to smash the table when I talk about this. Li Qi, what on earth did you do? Why do you have to choose a few people to accompany you?" Are you studying abroad?”

Li Qi glanced at this unfortunate guy.

Yes, he seems to not know the specific situation yet.

However, Yan Ke spoke at this time: "Okay, the wizard didn't tell me the reason. Can Li Qi tell me? It's not a bad thing to come to Taixue to study abroad, so don't worry so much."

When Boyue heard this, the rest of his words were stuck in his throat.

Indeed, the great witch didn't say anything, so Li Qi probably couldn't say it either.

Li Qi smiled bitterly.

I really can't say.

say what?

Are you talking about the Chenji Golden Pill Method?

If we want to talk about this, we have to uncover a lot of things that happened between Wushen Mountain and Tang State because of this.

With so much to say, it’s better not to say anything to avoid getting into trouble.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Li Qi, tell me that the woman who was always with you in Guangyang is the real Yuezhong?" Boyue waved his hand and asked again.

Hearing this question, Li Qi was a little confused.

what happened?

"No, you all seem to know the real person in Yuezhong. Is he famous?" Li Qi asked with a frown.

The two of them spoke and spoke like Zhenren Yuezhong, making it seem like they all knew each other.

Is Shen Shuibi famous?

Why hasn't he heard of it?

"Ahem, junior brother, have you really never heard of it?" Yan Ke coughed twice and asked Li Qi curiously.

"I have never seen her name on the Tang terminal. How could I hear about it?" Li Qi said helplessly.

"Then let Boyue introduce it to you. He is relatively familiar with people in this field. I have only heard about it." Yan Ke spread his hands and looked at Boyue.

Throughout the whole process up to now, Zhong Minglou has been sitting next to him without saying a word, just with a faint smile.

Boyue sighed and said: "There is nothing to introduce. The doctor has written "Lingshu Examination", "Eight Meridian Examinations" and "Qihai Tongshi". There are also some very useful unique elixirs in the divination method. The new structure of Qi Men Jiu Gong and the four new algorithms of divination were studied.”

"As for the farmers, they developed cultivation methods including Fantaozhi, Huangluzi, and Shenghuomu, and successfully grafted a wormwood spirit. In terms of practice, they wrote the "Luofu Flying to the Moon Contemplation Method" and improved the appearance of the Chenji Golden Pill method. Alchemy."

"Among them, especially the two books "Lingshu Kao" and "Luofu Flying to the Moon Contemplation", their reputations are widely spread. "Lingshu Kao" has even been named by humane doctors as the "Acupuncture" below the sixth grade. "

"In fact, her "Lingshu Kao" became famous because she took the initiative to give it to someone else without asking for anything in return. That person later spread the book, and her reputation grew accordingly."

"If that's all, then she should be famous among the fourth and fifth grades. What really makes her famous is her mysterious behavior. She does not seek fame and has never appeared in any public place."

"In the past nine thousand years, she has not appeared outside once. Almost no one has seen her appearance. There is no information except her works. Apart from knowing that she is from Luofu Mountain, nothing else is known."

"Mysterious, talented, and rumored to be a beauty, what do you think will happen with fame?" Boyue looked at Li Qi and said.

Then, Boyue sighed again: "Such a rumored existence basically only appears in rumors and author signatures, so now you say that the real person in Yuezhong is your wife, do you think I believe it or not?"

Yanke laughed awkwardly beside him.

Obviously, he didn't believe it either, so he asked Li Qi what was going on in a circumstantial way.

"Aren't you a divination person? Don't you know whether it's true or false?" Li Qi was confused.

"I am a fifth-grade person, and you are a heretic. Calculation is nonsense. Do you think I am a magician? Divination requires calculation and data!" Boyue was furious and showed extreme anger towards Li Qi when he questioned his professional level. displeasure.

Next to him, the real magic stick still had that smiling face and said nothing.

"Then believe it or not." Li Qi spread his hands, his face full of innocence.

"Okay, let me take a step back. Even if what you say is true, then tell me what it is that Master Yuezhong likes about you?" Boyue got excited and asked Li Qi.

"Maybe it's because I'm handsome?" Li Qi touched his chin.

"Pfft..." Yan Ke next to him couldn't hold it back and suddenly laughed.

Li Qi glanced at Yanke.

Handsome in appearance and dignified in appearance.

White clothes beat the snow, and the jade hall has golden horses.

He has a virtuous temperament and is cool and elegant.

Li Qi's face turned dark at this glance and he stopped talking.

Zhong Minglou also chuckled.

Boyue suppressed a smile on the side.

The room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

In the room, while several young men were talking nonsense, time passed quickly.

The atmosphere among everyone is becoming more and more relaxed. Although everyone is not familiar with each other, they are of the same age and can be considered as classmates after all. As they chat with each other, the relationship naturally becomes familiar.

Not to mention Li Qi and Boyue, who had teamed up before. They were already quite familiar with each other.

It's all nonsense here, except for the magic stick who has been silent, the other three are basically familiar with each other, to the extent that they can be regarded as friends.

Li Qi also got to know the other two better.

For example, Yan Ke discovered that Zhu Ren, a man of human-ghost origin, was actually a know-it-all, as if he knew who his teacher was. He could naturally tell a lot of things that were not considered secrets, but he could tell them without asking specifically. He doesn't know much about things, and he is very humble and reserved in his manner and speech, just like his appearance.

Boyue is just the opposite. Boyue has a typical "unhappy" character, and he likes to argue with others, and most people who argue can't talk to him, because as a divination person, his calculation ability is amazing, which is used when arguing with others. The effect on this matter is very significant.

As for Li Qi, he has an ordinary character and can't have any conflicts with these people.

Time passed in the midst of their banter.

Soon, it was afternoon.

At this time, the great witch came back.

There was still blood on his clothes, so he pushed the door open and walked in naturally.

The few people who were talking and laughing immediately fell silent and sat upright.

Boyue even retracted his legs.

When the adults came back, the children immediately became serious.

The great witch nodded: "It's almost time. We will leave for the banquet immediately. There may be some conflicts tonight, but they won't be too big. There may be things like acting, so do your best."

"Yes." Li Qi and others handed over their hands, stopped playing, and prepared to follow the big boss to the banquet.

Let's go to the banquet. Li Qi knew he couldn't run away.

This banquet was probably the second test between the two parties. I definitely couldn't miss it. The big witch arrested me for this reason.

It just so happens that we can also take this opportunity to see Tang Guo's attitude.

As well as Yanke Boyue and their methods.

However, what worries Li Qi is that he doesn't know what the great witch did when he went out. There are blood stains on his body. Can't he wipe it off? Or is there some other reason?

Unfortunately, there is no use worrying. What can he do about the great witch?

The car started up again, and the real dragon in front slowly started running, and then quickly took off at a specific place.

On the way, Zhong Minglou, who had been staying all day, actually handed in a report!

I don't know when he wrote it.

The great witch put it away without looking at it, but just gestured with his head that he had received it.

Zhong Minglou then stepped back, and neither of them said a word from beginning to end.

The car continued to fly in the air.

At this time, the great witch suddenly spoke: "Four of you, sit over here. Before setting off, I want to tell you something."

Li Qi and others quickly moved their stools and moved them in front of him.

After everyone sat down, the great witch looked around and began to speak: "It's not convenient to say the specific reason for coming to Taixue to study this time. However, three people from the Tang Dynasty also went to Wushen Mountain for further study, so this opportunity is not Come for nothing.”

"Wushenshan and Tang State have exchanged some young people this time. The apparent reason is to enhance exchanges and promote friendship between the two sides. However, in fact everyone knows that it is unlikely. However, this is a time for you young people to grow up. Opportunity."

"Whether it's the Wushenshan Library or the Imperial Academy, they are secret locations that neither of us have access to. You'd better cherish this opportunity and learn more before going back."

"The more you understand, the more you know, the wider the road in the future will be, and the less likely it will be a dead end. This is a God-given opportunity for you. If you waste it, you will regret it in the future."

The four of them raised their hands together and said, "I would like to express my sincere words of witchcraft."

Then, the great witch continued to speak, but this time he spoke to Li Qi.

He said: "Young Master Qi broke away from the team this time and acted without authorization, so I asked you to take the exam yourself to fight for the opportunity to enter. If you fail, you will naturally lose this opportunity and can only leave Taixue and waste time in the Tang Kingdom. If If it succeeds, then the previous events will be wiped out and treated as if they never happened.”

"Your master is Zhu Fengdan, so I can understand if you do some ridiculous things, but this is the Tang Dynasty after all, so restrain yourself and don't cause any big trouble, which will end badly."

Li Qi was ashamed.

What does "your master is Zhu Fengdan, so I can understand if you do ridiculous things"?

Sir, I am very reliable!

However, even though he thought so in his heart, this was not the time to defend himself, so Li Qi nodded honestly and replied: "Qi Ming will keep it in mind."

"Gongzike, you are the calmest. I am not worried about you. Gongziyue, I know you are dissatisfied. However, after tonight's dinner, you will probably want to stay in Tang Kingdom, so hold on now and don't be too anxious. "

After admonishing these two people, he looked at Zhong Minglou again.

"As for Young Master Minglou...well, I don't have anything to say. You know your way best, so I don't need to say anything."

"That's all. Tonight's banquet is very important to you. Behave better."

After saying this, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

It turned out that while talking, the destination had been reached.

After getting off the bus, he found that he and others had reached the middle of the road that ran through Chang'an.

When I came to Chang'an before, I saw this huge river, which was eight hundred miles wide.

It is normal for such a big river to have some islands in the river.

The destination for myself and others is on an island in the middle of the river.

This island in the river stretches for fifty miles and occupies a large area.

The buildings on it are gorgeous and extravagant.

The splendid Immortal Palace, with faint divine sounds, the dancing pavilion and the singing stage, all perform the Peach Blossom Music Mansion.

The lanterns stretch across the long thoroughfare, the trees and fire flicker, and the light lasts all night long.

But after all, Li Qi and others have seen the big world, and they will not be frightened by this little decoration.

The group of five people had no attendants, so they just got out of the car, landed on the ground, and then walked in naturally.

Walking all the way into the building in the center of the island, there are already people waiting here.

Some waiters led the crowd to visit the Three Terraces, and they saw green pines and wild cranes hanging high and high on the roadside.

Further forward, there are lush vegetation, trees, birds and animals, peach trees and plum paths, green shades, golden apes and green deer, often in groups, flowers, trees, birds, animals, fish and insects are innumerable and innumerable.

For forty miles around, pavilions and halls are built, winding and circling, thousands of rooms in a vast area, extremely gorgeous in the world.

Moving forward again, we came to a large hall.

It was very lively here, with dancers, musicians, some red-robed officials from the Tang Dynasty, and the purple-robed minister whom I had seen during the day.

One of the only two third-grade people present, the Minister of Honglu Temple.

There is a couplet hanging next to the main hall, which reads:

Left-hand couplet "The wind and smoke on the river are lovely".

The right couplet reads, "The sky and the earth are wide in the middle of the drunken country."

Horizontal comment on "Depths of Immortal Palace".

Li Qi looked around, the green curtains were open, and from a distance, the eaves were reflected in the pine trees, and the windows were high and bright mirrors were in front of them.

The bright mirror stabbed Li Qi for a moment, feeling dizzy and feeling that his magic power had been suppressed.

...is it a magic weapon?

Despite Ming Jing's suppression, the five of them walked all the way to the front of the palace.

The official called out loudly: "The envoy from Wushen Mountain has arrived!"

Then, someone else came forward to lead the way.

The great witch sat down on the table.

Li Qi and others were led to sit at the side seats, and it seemed that they were deliberately separated from each other and did not sit together.

Li Qi looked next to him.

Don't know anyone.

When he was seated, the banquet started normally.

With the sound of the gong, the etiquette officer sang and drank, and suddenly many dishes, bowls and chopsticks floated outside the venue, each flying to different tables.

Looking again, a lot of essence flew in, fell into the dish, and turned into delicacies.

In an instant, there were dozens of delicacies of land and water on one table, steaming as if freshly made.

At this time, the minister of Honglu Temple, who was sitting above the main seat, stood up, served wine with a glass of wine, and toasted to others.

Naturally, although Li Qi didn't like drinking, he immediately toasted with the others.

This is considered the banquet.

After the banquet begins, it’s time for the chief guest to make a speech.

Everyone was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at Honglu Temple Qing, waiting for him to speak.

But I saw the purple-robed minister looking at the great shaman from the Witch God Mountain and said to him:

"I have heard that Baiyue is in chaos, is suffering from bandits, and the people are hungry. I don't hear the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking. Mr. Mi must have never seen this prosperous scene in Chang'an, right?"

Li Qi covered his face.

Broken, it started.
