Myriad Paths

On the other side, the ‘passing traveler’ did not seem anxious.

Li Qi sat by the inn, teasing the little fox, looking very relaxed.

Shen Shuibi was busy, and the rabbit was carving spells all over the inn, arranging formations, burying different qi, and muttering to herself.

“Six inches for one breath, four to two feet and four inches for one knife, two feet and four feet, four gui, two hundred and forty feet, six zhu… Yinwen fire is one hundred and eight breaths, Wuji fire is sixty-four, Jiabing fire is seventy-two… Ah, it’s wrong.”

Then she was busy knocking it off and redrawing it, running around the whole house, making it uneasy.

Fortunately, she is very cute.

So no one has any opinions.

However, even if there are opinions, no one dares to say anything.

Everyone knows that this cute and confused girl is actually a hermit who almost killed an eighth-grade existence.

But in fact, there are not many people, all of them are the original guys and helpers, without a single guest.

The entire inn had been cleaned up long ago. After returning that day, Piaoxu asked all the guests to leave one by one and gave compensation. After that, she refused to receive any guests.

Even Piaoxu knew that her place might become the center of the vortex, so she quickly vacated the inn.

As for the guests, they had already wanted to run away.

Knowing that there was an eighth-grade master with a hidden identity living next to her... This feeling was really bad, especially when she had offended someone.

So, now there were only two guests in the inn, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi.

Li Qi held a little red fox with smooth fur in his arms and said, "Don't worry, Qiya, we also know that this matter was caused by me, and we won't just pat our butts and leave. Why are you worried so much?"

The little fox he teased was named Qiya, and she was Piaoxu's sister. Of course, she was not her biological child, but a little fox that had been picked up and had awakened.

Although she had awakened, she had not turned into a demon. For the time being, she still had some beast habits and could not speak.

Monsters don't care about blood relationship, they only consider the same clan based on intelligence, so their relationship is no worse than that of real sisters.

It is said that the two foxes, Hu Xian'er and Hu Mei'er, from Qingwu Sect are not their own children, because monsters don't care about such things at all.

Qiya heard what Li Qi said, shook his tail, bit Li Qi's sleeve lightly, and looked very happy.

Li Qi also liked this little red-haired fox very much. While rubbing the fluffy red-haired big tail, he pondered what to do next.

In fact, Li Qi has not been idle these days.

Shen Shuibi is responsible for things like protection, and he has obtained a lot of information from the people who come to visit through asking or some means of witchcraft.

First of all, Jin Buhuan's identity has been confirmed again by many parties. Many people who come to visit and ask for an audience say that Jin Buhuan is the most valued son of the Green Mountain God.

This man was arrogant and domineering, with a capricious mood. He relied on the power of his father and claimed to be the son of God. He kept countless concubines and was extremely licentious. He often raped girls to be his concubines, and sometimes he didn't even touch them, just for fun.

He also gave away his harem lavishly and invited people to banquets. If someone liked a girl, he could take her away without any offense.

In addition, he also built a lot of gardens. In Qingwu City alone, he had three or four gardens, each of which was luxurious and extravagant, with countless gold and jade, and countless natural treasures.

However, he basically left all these gardens idle, locked and closed all year round, and ordered several old servants to guard them. In the past 20 years, no one has ever been there.

He also liked exquisite objects and beautiful jades. In short, he liked anything that cost money. He didn't do his job and left everything to his maids. He either feasted, had sex in the harem, or went out to participate in gambling every day. He was arrogant and extravagant, a typical second-generation rich.

Everyone who heard it cursed.

But Li Qi saw something else from it.

Even though he was so extravagant, he didn't seem to be getting poorer. Instead, he was more generous.

Most of the people who came to visit him, when asked by Li Qi, had cursed Jin Buhuan for using insidious means to rob and rob, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

And he also noticed that more wealthy merchants in the city did not come, and even Qingwu Sect seemed to have not seen him and did not come to the door at all.

All kinds of signs made Li Qi sigh.

Although no one said good things about him, Li Qi still summed up some things with the help of various clues.

First of all, although Jin Buhuan was arrogant and even willful, killing people indiscriminately, and dared to burn down a small market just for a moment of anger, in fact... this man seemed to be very capable. It was true that he was extravagant, but he also made a lot of money.

No matter what he bought, he used floating wealth, which was liquid money.

Some people who learned from him also played cards and gambled, collected beautiful maids, traveled on rivers and lakes, and played all kinds of games. No matter what kind of gentry, as long as they gave up their studies to compete, their wealth would be gone in a few years. Only he seemed to be getting richer and richer no matter how he squandered, and there was no sign of his property being emptied.

Because he never touched the means of production, that is, the real "industry", lightly, and each one was well preserved and never used easily. The bottom line was very clear.

Furthermore, his style offended many people, so Li Qi just had a little conflict with him, took advantage of him, and gained the upper hand in an encounter. It was just a small matter, but someone came to his door immediately. They came and tried to recommend Li Qi to stand on their side to fight against Jin Buhuan. Obviously, these people had already been unable to deal with Jin Buhuan.

However, there are other wealthy businessmen who are firmly on his side.

The act of giving away concubines sounds debauched, but in fact, isn't it really just a show of favor and a bribe?

He often has a lot of fun, goes to various shops, spends a lot of money, and is extravagant, but what if this is just a way for him to express his attitude?

And, no matter how you look at it, the various industry chambers of commerce controlled by Jin Buhuan have firmly tied another group of people to Jin Buhuan.

He is not a lonely second-generation ancestor who is disliked by others, but a truly powerful force in Qingwu City.

Again, that is the attitude of the Qingwu Sect, which is very subtle.

There is nothing wrong with the Green Mountain Mountain God being of the sixth grade, but the local snake belongs to the Qingwu Sect after all. Hu Xianer and Hu Meier are two seventh-grade people. This Qingwu City is also a city sealed by the Lord of the Green Mountain Kingdom. Here, the Green Mountain Mountain God may not be too presumptuous.

But until now, I have never heard of the Qingwu Sect reacting to all of Jin Buhuan's previous actions. They neither showed favor nor turned against him. They just had an invisible attitude.

What does Qingwu Sect think?

The layers of clues were intertwined, so Li Qi did not rush to be the first person. Originally, he wanted to leave and go to other places, but since Piaoxu was involved, if she left, she would definitely There is no burial.

This violated Li Qi's righteousness and prevented him from packing up his things and moving on.

"Well...we still have to keep watching. While ensuring our own safety, let's keep watching Jin Buhuan's reaction." Li Qi thought for a long time and finally decided to take another look.

Now, there is one more target in Qingwu City.

That is to help Piao Xu escape from danger.

After you finish this, run away.

No matter how good the local snakes here are, they are just local snakes. If they escape from the Green Mountain Country, they may not be able to see them again in this life.

"Lao Ma's skills can help Piaoxu escape from danger..." Li Qimo thought about his goal and then remembered it in his heart.

Lao Ma's exercises can be slowed down. The exercises can be found anywhere, and they don't necessarily have to be done here.

Just as he was thinking about this, there was a sudden loud noise outside.

Not like a bang, but... an instrument.

First the drums were beaten, then the trumpets were played, then the drums were beaten, and then the trumpets were played, and then festive music sounded.

The rabbit was so frightened that he trembled and carved another wrong one, so he shoveled it out and started again.

When it comes to arranging formations, unless it is a formation board that has been prepared a long time ago, magic weapons such as formation chess can be quickly changed according to the time and place, otherwise one can only do the same as Shen Shuibi, honestly surveying Feng Shui and checking the earth's veins , determine the celestial phenomena, and then slowly arrange different formations according to the specific situation.

As for formations, although there are such things as formation diagrams and design drawings, they are actually similar to formulas. How to actually apply them to specific circumstances requires a lot of effort to study.

Rabbit buried his head and continued carving.

When Li Qi heard the sound of the music, he frowned, put the begging tooth aside, stood up, and walked out.

Piaoxu, who heard the sound, also walked out quickly, but Li Qi waved his hand and motioned for her to go back.

Piaoxu had no choice but to back away and lean against the door, watching Li Qi go out.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a line of motorcade at the door!

The convoys were all ridden by two maroon horses, both of which were first-rate and smart horses. The carriages behind them were all loaded with large red-painted leather suitcases, which looked heavy.

In front, there are large sedan chairs, golden lanterns, lanterns, torches, fruits, vegetables, animals, and sweet wines, all serving as attendants in front of the carriage.

Next to the spirit horse, there were dozens of people standing, singing and cheering, making noise and bustling, throwing tents and holding red flags, looking very happy. If he didn't know the purpose of his visit, Li Qi would have thought that he was here to propose marriage and marry a wife.

Li Qi went out and looked up, only to see a courtesy officer standing at the door. When he saw Li Qi, he immediately bowed down and said: "I've seen Mr. Li! I am a servant of the Jin family, and I am here to serve you as a young master." Life, give me a gift for what you did last time!”

Li Qi hasn't reacted yet.

But after saying this, he immediately stood up straight, and without waiting for Li Qi's reaction, he ordered the servants around him to unfold a long couplet.

The two servants each held one end of the long couplet, walked to the left and right, and slowly unfolded it.

But I saw that the long red joint was three feet long. It took two people each to hold one end to unfold it. One person was determined to be unable to take it all.

The ceremonial officer walked to the far right and read loudly: "Today, I present a special tribute to Mr. Li——!"

"Gold, three thousand catties!"

"Six thousand pieces of colorful satin!"

"Eight hundred spiritual flowers!"

"Twelve Xuan Lu!"

"Fifteen carts of calligraphy and painting!"

"Eight and a half loads of fresh fruits and vegetables!"

"Tie Li Mu is three feet tall!"

"The red coral in the East China Sea is eight feet long!"

"Shi Pu is thirty pounds!"

"Six beauty goblets!"

"Two flowers of the different species of peony 'Yichixue'!"

"Twenty insect-wrapped amber orbs!"

"Twelve handles of emerald Ruyi!"

As he read one, someone stepped forward to open the box.

Every time a box is opened, there seems to be a precious light shining.

But I saw hundreds of treasures coming out of the box on the car, amber turned into pearls, smoke from white snow, coral trees, red clouds blooming, pearls like stars, emeralds like green flames, like thousands of layers of fire, countless rare treasures. The rare treasures are piled up in a mountain, and only the light of the treasure can be seen, making it difficult to see all the treasures inside.

Li Qi was also stunned.

He has never seen such...such a shocking scene.

This scene really stunned him.

Is this a rich person?

However, this was not over yet. The gift sheet was three feet long, and it took only a quarter of an hour to recite it.

The treasure chest was opened and there was a queue for half the street.

Finally, the ceremony officer shouted again: "Withincomplete eighth-grade gold energy, you are a natural-born magic weapon!"

The box at the end of the carriage was opened, and a long knife was placed in it. As soon as it was revealed, it seemed as if blood and flesh were flying everywhere, shouts of death, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere!

Immediately afterwards, in a sea of ​​blood, a ray of crystal light pierced out, no matter the thunderstorms, storms, and chaos, it penetrated the sea of ​​blood without any change.

Many treasures, all eclipsed in front of this thing!

The countless precious lights before were all suppressed.

Even Li Qi was shocked.

Eighth grade! ?

What a joke!

This thing can be given away! ?

What is the concept of eighth grade? Even in a big city like Qingwu City with a floating population of tens of millions, how many eighth-grade cities can there be?

Li Qi estimated that there were only one hundred or two hundred.

The whole Qingwu City.

If it is ninth grade, it is one of a thousand.

The eighth grade is one in a million!

It is no joke to reach the first level and the highest level of heaven. Every time you rise to a level, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Eighth-grade things and ninth-grade things are completely different from each other. It is basically impossible to fight across borders, unless you are a big shot like Shen Shuibi who fell down and still has high-grade things in your hand. magic weapon.

Li Qi boasted that he could fight dozens of no-name ninth-level players without orthodox inheritance, but when faced with a self-taught no-name eighth-level player, he still only had one thought in his mind, and that was to run away.

This is absolute oppression, an unbridgeable gap.

At the beginning, the ghost and god he communicated with for the first time, Li Weng in the Dalu Kingdom, was that extremely inferior eighth-grade person.

But his ability is enough to make decisions after his death, allowing his memory to continue to exist, turning to the ghost path, and he can easily curse a wealthy family to ruin their family and their luck.

Li Qi can't do it now. He still hides the ghost energy Li Weng gave him and uses it as a trump card.

Thinking of this, Li Qi couldn't help but take two steps forward to see the magic weapon.

It was a long knife.

The body is as strong as a snake's spine, the body is bent and stretched, and the mind is full of anger.

The handle of the knife is like scaly claws grasping it, and the righteousness is unchecked. The mane lifts the needle, and it is angry like a halberd, and it seems to have flesh and blood.

Just by looking at it, you can feel the sharpness contained in it!
