Myriad Paths

Baishe Prefecture, Shewei County, on the street.

It was already dark at this time and the market had long been closed, so the streets were empty except for Li Qi and Shen Shuibi who were riding horses, and the old man in brocade robes who were confronting each other not far away.

Li Qi raised his head with an arrogant expression: "If you don't have eyes, you should be beaten."

He showed great confidence.

Because he knows that this is how he should behave now.

The old man's eyes twitched, then he silently put away the jade box, squeezed out a sinister smile, looked at Li Qi and said: "Young hero, if you act like this when traveling in the world, it is easy for something to happen on the road."

"I think there are not many people in Dalu Country who can make anything happen to me." Li Qi smiled, not afraid at all.

"You are only in the ninth rank, how dare you say such a thing?" The old man in brocade robes opened the jade box, and suddenly, more than a dozen ghosts poured out of it!

They are all evil spirits.

The ghosts are coming in droves, and they are so ugly that they cannot be described as ugly.

Some faces were cracked and exposed, and bleeding continued.

Some tongues are extended, their heads are as fluffy as baskets, and their hair hangs down to cover their faces.

Some corpses were scorched like fire, with endless crackling sounds, and oily fluids flowing across the corpses.

Some are about three feet long, wearing green clothes and white hakama, and their skin is stiff and purple.

Some have herpes all over their bodies, with pus flowing across them and making a sizzling sound.

Some had broken tendons and fractures, as if they had been beaten to death with wooden sticks, and could only crawl on the ground.

A group of ghosts appeared, but they saw a little bit of light, like a firefly, and there were thousands of them, countless in a blink of an eye.

Dozens of ghosts surrounded Li Qi, flying back and forth around him, leaving and reuniting, like a scene in purgatory.

Li Qi's heart went crazy when he saw it. He felt cold all over his body and his blood seemed to freeze.

This scene was not only horrifying, but the deathly will and gloom that filled the surroundings almost made him suffocate.

Most of these fierce ghosts are not of the highest grade, but three of them are at the ninth grade level!

They are water ghost, burn ghost and stick ghost.

"Now, look, can I let something happen to you?" The old man in brocade robes looked at Li Qi with a smile.

But Li Qi dismissed it: "That's it? Not enough!"

After saying that, he inspired the spirit of Shen Tu Yu Lei in his body.

In the vast sea, there is the mountain of Dushuo. There is a large peach tree on it. Its branches are bent three thousand miles away. The northeastern part of its branches is called the ghost gate, where all ghosts come and go. There are two gods on it, one is called Shen Tu and the other is Yu Lei. They lead all kinds of ghosts. The evil ghosts hold on to reed ropes and eat tigers!

Therefore, in ancient times, the sage kings performed rituals to drive away evil spirits. They hung peach symbols on the door, painted sacred tea and green barriers on them, and hung reed ropes to ward off evil spirits, so that all ghosts could not enter the door!

Shen Tu Yu Lei is the god who eats ghosts!

The aura of the two gods was like a fortress made of golden light in the eyes of the evil ghosts. In an instant, all the evil ghosts hovering around them howled and moved a full three feet away, daring not to get closer.

The face of the old man in brocade robes suddenly darkened.

But Li Qi didn't dare to act rashly.

The two sides fell into a strange confrontation.

The old man in brocade robes was wary of Li Qi's willow branches and Shen Tu Yu Lei's aura, and realized that the 'young knight' in front of him was not an easy master to deal with.

It stands to reason that ninth-level warriors are quite afraid of ghosts, because they are not strong enough to kill ghosts and gods with their Yang Qi or "Fist Intent" or "Sword Intent". Ghost, their ability to resist is not strong.

It was precisely because of this that the old man in brocade robes had the confidence to face Li Qi.

After all, it is basically impossible for a ninth-level martial artist to resist three identical ninth-level ghosts.

But he didn't expect that this 'young hero' could actually restrain ghosts!

Isn't he a martial artist?

Or does he have a magic weapon in him?

That seemingly ordinary willow branch can fight ghosts because of Shen Tu Yu Lei's divine energy, or can it fight ghosts on its own?

Where did Shen Tu and Yu Lei get their energy? Did he come here through his own practice, or is there some kind of treasure?

We don’t know, so we don’t dare to act rashly.

The same was true for Li Qi. As a Zhuren, he knew very well how powerful ghosts were. If he accidentally let the ghost energy penetrate into his body, he would end up losing his soul and wandering around, and he would definitely die.

And it seems that he has the aura of Shen Tu Yu Lei, but his blessings are not of the highest level!

If he were a ninth-grade Zhuren, he would definitely rush forward and smash the opponent's head. However, he was just a low-grade wizard. He was not sure whether he could really stop these ghosts with Shen Tu Yu Lei's divine energy.

After all, there are three ninth-grade ghosts!

He was really a little weak when he was swarmed up.

Both sides hesitated, so they froze in place for a moment.

Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, observed for a few seconds, leaned close to Li Qi's face, and whispered in a low voice: "Ghost Witch..."

Li Qi perked up after hearing this!

Then, he raised his head and said loudly: "I heard that witches contain yang energy, so most of the people in the Yang land are witches, and there are witches and ghosts, so witches are ghost witches, and ghost witches are compared to nursery rhymes, so witches are Judges can judge good and bad things, and those who can judge good and bad things are the ones who can judge good and bad things. Therefore, the demons of Shen Sheng are seen in witches——"

After Li Qi finished speaking, he saw the old man answering: "Witches are like that. They use the words of real witches without any reason. The good and bad come out of their mouths like a child's shake. Children's rhymes speak to themselves, witches. The words come from their own words..."

The two of them seemed to have a secret code.

After the exchange, the two of them seemed to be relieved and saluted each other.

But he saw the old man in brocade robes opening the jade box, and all the evil ghosts were inside, and they were put into the box.

And Li Qi also put away Shen Tu Yu Lei's aura and returned to normal.

However, Li Qi still held the willow branch in his hand, but the old man did not put down the jade box.

The old man was the first to speak, and he asked Li Qi: "You tell me where I am, but where do you learn from me?"

Li Qi, on the other hand, smiled and uttered three words.

"Witch, god, mountain."

The old man trembled and almost knelt down.

It's just that he is in the ninth grade, while Li Qi is not in the first grade. This gap allows him to barely stabilize his knees.

"Master... Junior Brother, if you speak nonsense, you will die. If you pretend to be an apprentice of Wushen Mountain, you will be noticed by the divination, and if you are not sure, you will be killed immediately." The old man's tone became much softer.

"Well, I've been saying this for four breaths, has senior brother ever been angry when he saw the fortune teller?" Li Qi asked again.

The old man looked up and down.

Then he bowed deeply and said in a respectful manner: "I don't know if the disciples of Wushen Mountain are coming, but I am not welcomed from afar. Please forgive me, junior brother. Is there any mission for junior brother to come here?"

"I was entrusted by Da Zhu to go look for someone. I was just passing by. I was about to leave, but I found out that you were setting up an ambush with ghosts, and that's when the conflict started." Li Qi said.

"I dare not stop the envoy of the great blessing. I am rude. I hope you will forgive me. The next time my junior brother comes to Shewei County, he will treat him warmly and show his friendship as a landlord!" The old man knelt down directly and gave a great gift.

Not to worship Li Qi.

Instead, I worship the identity of the Great Blessing Messenger!

Li Qi stopped talking and kicked the horse's belly with his heel. The old horse immediately rose into the sky and left quickly.

The old man was left looking at the flying horses in astonishment and exclaimed: "Dragon Colt!"

Then, he shook his head and murmured: "It really... saved a life."
