Myriad Paths

It was still the same street.

The atmosphere was very wrong. Because Li Qi had already arranged the venue in advance, it looked gloomy and made people feel uncomfortable.

But Jin Buhuan seemed to feel nothing, walked straight up, clasped his hands, and smiled: "Haha, Brother Li, how are you? I see you are not in a very good mood? Is there any trouble recently? Why not tell me, I have some insignificant power in Qingwu City, I can definitely help."

Li Qi saw the other party, smiled, walked out, but did not salute, but nodded, and then replied: "It's not a special thing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."

Jin Buhuan was very impolite. He led people directly into the inn, looking around, and said to Li Qi: "This Qingwu City, I am the host, Brother Li, you can tell me what troubles you have. Even if I can't help, I can listen to you. It will feel better if you say it out!"

After walking in, Jin Buhuan looked around and made sure that he didn't find anything, so he sat down with peace of mind.

As soon as he sat down, he said directly: "Why don't you accept the gifts outside, brother Li?"

Li Qi also walked in.

He didn't pour tea, nor was he polite. He even seemed to have not seen Si Lao and the maid, and didn't say hello. It seemed that he was the only one in the whole inn.

Li Qi didn't even sit down, which made Jin Buhuan look stupid.

This can be said to be a very rude situation. If it happened in a formal occasion, it might even cause hostility between the two forces, but both sides seemed to be unaware of it and didn't seem to mind.

After hearing Jin Buhuan's question, Li Qi replied in a relaxed tone: "These gifts are too expensive. I don't think there is anything worth Brother Jin's spending so much, so I definitely dare not accept them."

"Hey, Brother Li, you are wrong. Last time on the street, I suddenly attacked you, which was very rude. Logically, I should compensate you well. Otherwise, if you tell others, others will think that I, Jin Buhuan, have no father and no mother, don't know etiquette, and have no education." Jin Buhuan said with a smile.

Li Qi also smiled when he heard this.

The two laughed together, and the scene was quite harmonious.

It can be seen that Jin Buhuan was very unhappy with Li Qi's rudeness, so he made sarcastic remarks without hesitation.

For them, no matter how embarrassing the fight was, they had to save face. If they couldn't save face, it meant that the fight was almost rotten.

Li Qi's behavior was actually equivalent to tearing his face apart.

It was just a matter of time before the final blow, so both sides were still somewhat restrained, at least they didn't fight in person.

Just when the scene was awkward, Li Qi waved his hand and took the initiative to start the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about those things that spoil the fun. Brother Jin, do you know what I invited you to do this time?"

"Of course I don't know, Brother Li might as well tell me." Jin Buhuan also changed his face again and leaned over with interest.

"Brother Jin, you are in trouble recently, but if you handle it well, maybe you can turn the danger into a blessing?" Li Qi said in a serious tone.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Jin Buhuan looked surprised.

"Do you know that recently another breath of gold was unearthed in Green Mountain? And it is of the eighth grade, and it is still a long sword." Li Qi said.

Jin Buhuan certainly knew about this matter. Qingwu City was in a frenzy during this period. Many people went to Green Mountain to "hunt for treasures", and the news spread widely.

In fact, when Li Qi first arrived in Qingwu City, he came to Piaoxu's inn to stay. At that time, Piaoxu asked Li Qi if he came for this reason. (For details, see Chapter 135)

"Of course I know about this, but what does it have to do with me? Green Mountain's gold gas is unearthed every ten years, which is not uncommon. Even my father would not monopolize it, but let the destined person take it. In this way, these have nothing to do with me." Jin Buhuan replied, waiting for Li Qi's explanation.

He knew that Li Qi was just keeping it a secret.

However, what he said was not completely true.

In fact, the Green Mountain God basically only allows ordinary ninth-grade gold energy to flow out. If it is an eighth-grade natural divine weapon, he will most likely intervene, but he will not force it. If someone is really capable, he will give it away as an opportunity to make a good relationship.

As for the seventh-grade and above, it is also a treasure for him. How can he give it to outsiders? No matter what, it will not flow out.

For example, the eighth-grade gold energy he gave to Li Qi actually belonged to him. He got it after his father intervened, but his father did not do it himself that time, so a tiger demon took the opportunity to take it away.

Later, Jin Buhuan hired a master to kill it and brought the gold energy back, but found that the gold energy was damaged and the tip of the knife was broken.

Later, that is, now, he recruited Si Lao, who found out through divination that the tiger demon was still alive. Under the curse, he accidentally provoked Li Qi.

However, he was not going to tell Li Qi these inside stories.

One of Li Qi and the fox demon must have his gold energy fragments on his body.

It will come back sooner or later.

Jin Buhuan thought so.

But Li Qi didn't know what he was thinking, and just continued: "Brother Jin, you don't know this. More than ten years ago, didn't Lushan export an eighth-grade long sword?"

Jin Buhuan's eyes darkened and he said, "Of course that is, but that mouthful of gold energy is damaged and its value has plummeted. In fact, it was the mouthful I gave to Brother Li. Didn't you notice?"

Li Qize replied: "Yes, I also discovered it. This is also the reason why I don't accept this thing. Brother Jin, please listen to me. In normal times, how long does it take for Green Mountain to produce a mouthful of eighth-grade gold energy?"

It involved his own treasure, so Jin Buhuan thought for a while and replied seriously: "It takes about two hundred years to produce one, but it is not fixed. After all, the production of gold energy is just like the fruit of trees, it depends on God's will."

"Look, isn't this coming? Green Mountain has produced two eight-grade gold qi in a row. In the past fifteen years, two of them have been eight-grade. Do you think this is normal?" Li Qi asked.

Jin Buhuan frowned: "What does Brother Li mean?"

"What I mean is that these two mouthfuls of eighth-grade gold energy are originally just one mouthful!" Li Qi asserted.

"The sky is round and the place is made of yin and yang. All things are born from yin and yang, but yin and yang are originally one body, just like there are yin and yang qi in everything, just two sides of the same body. But now, Green Mountain produces two ports of gold qi, and yin and yang are in different places. , the two are separated, this is a bad omen! That’s why I said, Brother Jin is afraid that he is in trouble!”

Li Qixin said firmly.

When Jin Buhuan heard this, he was noncommittal at first, and secretly pondered Li Qi's words in his heart.

At this moment, he didn't care about Li Qi's rudeness, because what the other party said did make some sense.

After pondering for a while, Jin Buhuan immediately raised his hands and asked, "What's Brother Li's opinion?"

He asked for insights first, and then looked at other things, because he was not thinking about any difficulties now.

But because, if what Li Qi said is true, then these two golden qi are the two sides of yin and yang, which are originally one. If they can be combined into one, wouldn't the quality be greatly improved! ?

Maybe even reach the level of half-step seventh level?

This couldn't wait for a while. Even if Li Qi was just making nonsense, he had to verify it carefully.

The stakes are high and one has to be careful.

"My opinion is what I just said, the separation of yin and yang, although it is a big omen, there are also opportunities. You see, between the clear and turbid yin and yang, it is called the middle qi. The middle qi is the pivot of the rise and fall of yin and yang. If Brother Jin combines yin and yang, and then finds a way to harmonize it, then this thing will definitely turn evil into good luck, and become a sign of good luck for Brother Jin," Li Qi said with his hand in hand.

After Li Qi's words reached this point, Jin Buhuan couldn't pretend anymore.

He simply stood up and walked towards Li Qi: "Since it's all about talking about it, Brother Li must also know the reason for my coming. I don't believe that you haven't understood my intention after seeing the gifts outside. mean."

"That's natural. Brother Jin must be here for this." Li Qi said with a smile and took out an irregularly shaped flying knife.

"After getting this thing, Brother Jin can not only have a natural magic weapon that is considered to be the top grade among the eighth grades, but also with the other half, the yin and yang become one, and the quality and power can be further improved, even if it is For my father, they are all treasures. If you can collect them and present them, he will not only be extremely happy, but may even reward you directly. You will gain love and gain a treasure at the same time. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone."

Li Qi held the flying knife in one hand and said so.

Obviously, everyone knows that this is very tempting.

Even if there is just a little hope, Jin Buhuan attaches great importance to it, not to mention that he already knows the power of his golden energy after repair.

"Well, Brother Li still knows about the existence of this thing. I thought you didn't know." Jin Buhuan smiled.

Li Qi also responded with a kind smile: "I didn't know before, but Brother Jin hinted many times, how could I still not know? Therefore, if I didn't accept the gift before, it was not because I didn't want to, but because I really couldn't. Ah, if you accept it, is there still a chance to talk to Brother Jin here?"

Jin Buhuan suddenly realized: "So that's it. I misunderstood Brother Li. Now that everything is clear, I won't do those things that only make people laugh. In a word, if Brother Li can use this thing Leave it to me and you will be richly rewarded."

Li Qi was also very happy: "That's natural. If it weren't for this matter, why would I call Brother Jin here? Now that he's here, the property will definitely be returned to its original owner. But Brother Jin, I still have A heartless request.”

"Brother Li, please tell me!" Jin Buhuan replied in a very cheerful tone.

"I want to compete with Brother Jin and use that weapon." Li Qi said.

"Brother Li wants to challenge himself? It seems that he wants to concentrate on his path. No wonder there are many strange things. I thought it was something else. I think it's just that Brother Li simply didn't care." Jin Buhuan took Li Qi's hand from him. He took the flying knife and pointed one finger at it.

The long knife moved.

Then, only a harsh buzzing was heard!

The sound is like silk, splitting rocks and piercing clouds! It was so sharp that all the surrounding stones and porcelain exploded, and Li Qi could even feel the strong killing intent in it!

Madness, murderous intent, excitement, rage, and joy, all kinds of emotions surged out of the body of that magic weapon!

It is obviously a dead thing, but it seems to be some kind of inexhaustible emotional whirlpool. The sharp roar actually contains the will of a living thing, as if it can allow people to see some kind of scene.

However, it is just as if.

Li Qi just felt like he saw something, just like how people feel when listening to music, but he actually didn't see anything.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be the ‘atmosphere’ presented by the sound of Jin Ge.

Li Qi covered his ears and thought silently...

It's the sound again.

The first time was the sound of Xiao, then it was the sound of listening to the heart, and now it was the sound of fighting.

Even the opponent's Taoist rhyme is related to sound.

Li Qi watched all this.

Sure enough, that natural magic weapon was under the opponent's control from the very beginning.

As long as you accept these gifts, you will not only be 'justified', but you will always be passive in the future, and you may even be killed by the opponent's magic weapon.

Li Qi looked at Jin Buhuan in front of him. Although he used a knife, it was actually just a cover-up. The foundation of his technique should be the same as what the White Snake Mountain God said, which is the 'golden sound' among the eight tones.

The eight tones are gold, stone, silk, bamboo, gourd, earth, leather, and wood, these eight.

There are eight tones in the sky, and their natures are different, so they are hostile to each other. The sage uses this nature to make eight instruments, using the sounds to summon the qi, and the eight winds follow the rhythm, and the eight tones are based on this.

The sound of gold is clear and elegant, and its instruments include cymbals, cymbals, bells, chimes, and flutes. As the saying goes, "the sound of gold vibrates in the valley, and echoes in the sky. ’

Especially because of its clear and clear sound, it is often used in battlefield killings. There is a saying of "fighting after hearing the sound of gold".

Now, Jin Buhuan is using this method to put the broken pieces back into his knife.

There was a clanking sound, and the golden energy was constantly devouring the body that he had left.

The little flying knife seemed to want to struggle, but it had no resistance in front of the main body. After a while, it was completely integrated into the long knife, and the two became one again.

Jin Buhuan was very satisfied.

After truly obtaining this natural magic weapon, his status in the family was truly stabilized.

The conflict with Li Qi was the result of his careful consideration. Even if the opponent was at the sixth level behind him, the backstage behind him could still suppress him.

As the second generation ancestor, all his goals should be based on this. He wants to maintain his status. This is fundamental.

As for the other party's backstage being fifth grade, how is that possible? If he was really at this level, he would have received a warning long ago when he provoked him.

The fact that his father didn't come to remind him meant that he could handle it.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the father cannot investigate the other party's background, and can only find out that this person actually has no background, his methods are mysterious, and maybe it is just a chance encounter.

However, just thinking about it made him laugh.

His own father couldn't find out his background, so who is he? Fourth grade? Third grade?

is it possible?

Compared with that tiny probability, consolidating one's own power and status is more important.
