Myriad Paths

It's day two now and I'm resting on the road.

Li Qi was seizing the time to practice in a small way. It didn't consume too much physical energy, but he could slowly digest some water vapor, and at the same time, he was able to concentrate on reading.

And Shen Shuibi is bullying Squirrel.

She was digging a squirrel hole.

The squirrel next to me dared not speak out in anger.

The main thing was that she suddenly became interested in nuts yesterday. She seemed to like the fragrance of nuts very much. Because Li Qi told her about the crowd eating melon seeds, she became interested.

But there are no melon seeds here. In the white snow of White Snake Mountain, there are only acorns and pine cones.

Where are there more acorns and pinecones?

It's easy to say, of course it's in the pine tree hole.

So, she did something heinous.

That's robbing the squirrel.

She succeeded, and after a fierce struggle, the squirrel lost.

Chirp, chirp, chirp, she was sitting under the tree chewing the winter food that the squirrel had worked so hard to collect. Her expression looked relished and she was so cute.

Unfortunately, the squirrel doesn’t think so.

But nature is so cruel, and in this competition between small herbivores, rabbits won.

Good thing, good thing.

Regardless of these episodes, Li Qi was not ready to rest. After exercising every day, he continued on his way.

It was still peaceful along the way. After all, there were only two people on the road, and one of them was a high-level master.

Since there is no goods to rob, it will also provoke experts. Not many people with brains would do this.

Robbery also depends on the person's choice, just like a pack of wolves, you must be fast, accurate and ruthless. Even if you miss, you can't let yourself suffer too much damage.

Wolves are walking in the mountains and forests. Although they are majestic and not afraid of tigers, they do not dare to attack at will, because after being injured, others will be thinking about you, and the situation will become more serious.

In this way, large caravans are more suitable targets. Just grab one or two cars and run away, with little loss and gain.

Facing two people who are alone and still have the power to fight back, they are like hedgehogs, with no meat and many thorns, which the wolves don't like to eat.

Therefore, it was a safe journey and we returned to Shewei County the next night after traveling all night.

Li Qi thought for a while and decided that he should go back quickly, prepare some food for the old horse, and then set off quickly.

Although I don’t know if the county magistrate knows it, but it is not good to keep it.

County magistrate, what a big official that must be.

According to Li Qi's current understanding, the scope of a county, at least thousands of miles away, was almost as big as a province in the previous world.

He is said to be the county magistrate, but in fact, the actual power lies with senior officials. There are tens of millions of people in the county. Counting the surrounding villages, various scattered cottages, etc., the population must be in the thousands.

The county magistrate should be the secretary.

It is better to do less than to do more. Although running away a day early will prevent the old horse from getting fat properly, it can avoid possible troubles. Generally speaking, it is still profitable.

At worst, I'll go to the next county to gain weight again.

At the speed of the old horse, we can reach the next county seat in one day.

Li Qi made up his mind, returned to the city, and ran to the door of the inn without stopping.

"Store, check out." Li Qi knocked on the door and went in. He was straightforward and didn't intend to say anything more.

"Okay, Sir, will the money you paid for stables and feed in advance be converted into money for you, or will I send you a private message directly?" The store owner didn't say much, but simply checked out.

Tenants who have stayed for seven days have been here for a long time, and it is normal for them to check out. They have already made preparations.

Besides, this was the order given by the shopkeeper himself, saying that he should try his best to meet this master's request and not to offend him.

Although I don’t know why the shopkeeper said this, there must be a reason.

The accountant and the waiter quickly compared the bills, recorded the specific expenses in notes, and showed them to Li Qi.

Li Qi calculated it once and confirmed that it was correct. Then it was time to give the money and check it. Then the groom took the horse and handed it to Li Qi.

Li Qi didn't say much, got on his horse and prepared to leave.

Lao Ma still looked reluctant.

It's probably because life has been going so well lately.

"Okay, it's been a week, what else are you thinking about? Are you tired?" Li Qi lightly kicked the old horse and scolded him with a smile.

"Week? What is that?" Shen Shuibi heard a term she didn't know and asked curiously.

"Uh...it's nothing, it just means seven days." Li Qi said casually.

"Oh..." Shen Shuibi nodded thoughtfully, not sure what she understood.

He pulled the old horse out of the stable and came to the street.

Li Qi, as always, hung up his backpack, climbed onto the horse with Shen Shuibi in his arms, and then climbed onto the horse himself.

Get ready to run away!

But before the horse's hooves clattered, the old horse suddenly stiffened and made a posture ready to run at any time, but did not move.

Shen Shuibi also immediately became alert and tugged at the corner of Li Qi's clothes: "There is a voice, Li Qi."

Li Qi held the knife with one hand and the willow branch tied around his waist with the other: "What direction? I didn't feel anything."

There is no other way. In terms of perception, apart from the progress bar, he really has nothing to praise.

"It's a ghost, and it's a ghost that has deliberately hidden its figure. It's four steps in front of us." Shen Shuibi immediately reported in a low voice.

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it was a ghost.

I'm still a little nervous about beating people.

When it comes to beating ghosts, you can definitely hit them one at a time.

Now that Shen Shuibi figured out the location, Li Qi pretended not to notice and urged Lao Ma to take a few steps forward.

Then, he suddenly pulled out the willow branch and whipped it forward!

There was a snap, and a wailing sound echoed all around.

The ghosts were running around in pain, and the yin energy was overflowing!

This time, Li Qi, who turned on the Qi View, also saw a ghost.

Baring teeth and dancing claws, green face and fangs, the whole body is not only full of yin energy, but also evil spirit!

This is not an ordinary ghost, but a fierce ghost!

It has transformed into five elements, a fierce ghost that can hurt and eat people.

Of course, Li Qi would not leave any chance of survival. Since the sneak attack had been successful, he would give him another whip.

The second whip was filled with the spirit of Shen Tu Yu Lei.

A ninth-level ghost can be whipped to pieces with just two whips.

The willow branch given by Da Zhu himself is a crushing advantage to the people below.

But this whip failed to hit.

This ghost was suddenly enveloped by some strange power and flew backwards. It didn't look like it was flying by itself at all, but rather it seemed like it was tied up with a rope and pulled back forcefully.

Li Qi looked in the direction where the ghost was flying back.

But there was an old man in brocade robes over there, holding a jade box in his hand. It was this jade box that took away the evil ghost.

The old man who suddenly appeared looked at Li Qi and said, "Young hero, why do you have to be so ruthless? You just took a look at it, and you want to beat my ghost slave to death here?"
