Myriad Paths

The merchants breathed a sigh of relief and praised Li Qi one after another.

"That's right, I was ready to take the knife, but brother Li Qi turned out to be even more powerful. Unexpectedly, he actually fooled me!"

"I think most of the monsters are unconscious. They should be like Po Xiong, who behaves in an orderly manner."

"Indeed, I have also heard that some monsters knock on the door at night. If you don't open it, he won't come in, but if you open it, he will eat you. These monsters have some weird habits. I'm afraid this monster is The same is true. If we really use weapons, we might not be able to get out. Li Qi is still smart! "

It turned out that after Li Qi, Ba Kui and others noticed something was wrong with the woman, they immediately realized that she was a monster.

What if it’s a monster?

Everyone else was immediately on alert, ready to fight.

Li Qi, on the other hand, saw something was wrong with the monster, but remained calm, and even tried to communicate using rules, but he didn't expect that he actually ran out.

What luck! That monster is also a preacher!

This kind of situation is not uncommon, for example, in legends such as Xiong Ga Po, Monkey Show, Starving Ghost, Wong Tai Sin, and House Snake, most of the monsters in them have some logic. If taboos are not violated, there is actually a glimmer of hope.

Li Qi thought of this and forced himself to calm down and talk to the monster.

That's a monster that can change shape! If there really was an outbreak, Li Qi had no doubt that none of his group would survive.

As for the fact that Li Qi brought the monster back, no one cared much about it.

Who knows if she would have killed him if he left immediately?

What if you don't save your life, then the monster will kill you?

It would be better now. To put it nicely, it can even be said that he has formed a good relationship with the monster and everyone is happy, so Li Qi will not be blamed.

As mentioned before, although these merchants are not afraid of good and evil, they still have small righteousness. Li Qi and them have gone through life and death, and they will not turn their backs and disown people because of trivial matters.

When everyone was happy, they finally arrived at the edge of the city.

We have arrived in Feng County, and it should be safe anyway.

There are demon slayers and guardians around the city. Even in the countryside, there are many witches and wizards who can do something to exorcise demons.

Therefore, the edge of the city must be safe. If the edge of the city is not safe anymore...

Then just wait for death. What level of existence must a demon be able to break through the county?

After everyone finally relaxed, Li Qi was about to leave with everyone.

We all just met each other, but we were on the same road for one night. Everyone had their own things to do, so it was impossible to stay together all the time.

"Brother Li, I'll leave first. The place I'm going to is far away and things are still important, so I'll leave first." Adu took the lead in saying goodbye.

This was normal. He was the one who chose to travel alone in the vast winter. It was normal for him to have some important responsibilities. No one wanted to leave him alone. After saying goodbye, he left.

As for the merchants, they all carry baskets on their backs, which are full of goods that need to be sold or have been ordered by others. They need to deliver them, and they all have to go to work.

Ba Kui said to Li Qi: "We will leave at noon tomorrow to go to Lianxia. I agreed to treat you to a drink, but we can't do it tonight. We will still meet here tomorrow morning and I will make sure you drink enough!"

Lianxia is a section of the canyon through which the Lishui River flows. It is also where many ships gather. It is natural for traders to go there.

Li Qi naturally had no objection. Anyway, it would be a good thing to have a free meal and make some friends. He agreed wholeheartedly and said goodbye to the merchants.

Everyone on the road had just become acquainted, but they were about to be separated in an instant.

Except for Ba Kui, no one else said what they were going to do. Everyone had their own things to do, and there was no need to reveal all the secrets.

Most things in the world are like this, there are always more people passing by than meeting each other.

After everyone parted, Li Qi walked alone at the city gate and did not enter the city for the time being.

Mainly, he saw a notice board not far away, on the side of the city gate. Someone was hanging a notice on it, and many people were watching, so he was ready to go over and take a look.

I walked over and looked at the notice board. There was indeed a new notice on it.

This notice said that there was a group of twelve merchants who encountered demons on the road and all of them died. Now the notice is hung up in the hope that relatives and friends can come and claim the bodies.

Li Qi's hair stood on end.

Could it be... people like Ba Kui, must they have encountered ghosts? ?

However, before he could successfully scare himself, his doubts were solved because there was a portrait hanging below.

If you look closely, you will see that they have nothing to do with Ba Kui and the others. They are just another group of unlucky people.

Only then did he settle down and read carefully.

However, the more he looked at the portraits, the more familiar those people seemed to him.

After thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered that the people hanging up were one of the two merchant groups he met at the same roadside tea stall!

Ba Kui's group managed to escape, but they all died on the road. After being discovered by passers-by, they informed the government!

After sorting things out, Li Qi shook his head.

He once again realized the dangers of going out alone.

No wonder no one is willing to travel far away. If someone travels alone, they will treat them like tigers and leopards, and they will be scared to death.

However, as Li Qi continued to look down, he saw a wanted notice.

It says:

"Arrest document, Lizhou Prefect has an order!"

"Today, the rebellious Empress Luofu of the Tang Dynasty, as a demon god, was rewarded by the emperor. However, on the herdsman side, she has no virtue and no conduct, causing trouble for the people and using villains, causing great chaos in one side."

"The governor of Jiannan Road ordered him to self-examine, but he did not respect the emperor's orders, was arrogant, and acted rebelliously. The emperor was merciful and ordered him to correct his mistakes behind closed doors. However, this stubborn man had no orders from the emperor, openly humiliated the emperor, refused to listen to orders, and wanted to Rebellion to Tianzhu."

"If you commit such a serious crime, you should be punished. However, Empress Luofu has great magic power and extraordinary powers. She attacked and killed angels, betrayed the country and fled. Now she has escaped into Baiyue and is nowhere to be found. Our Dalu Kingdom is one of the Baiyue Kingdoms and has been friends with the Tang Kingdom for generations. Okay, we become brothers. If my brother's country rebels, he should rebel for my country, Dalu. If there are any clues about Empress Luofu, I will give you a hundred gold. If you can kill the person, you will be given a second-level title. The land of the state is crowned as king."

This wanted notice was different from the others. It was written in yellow cloth. It had been hanging on the edge of the city for some time, but it was still at the forefront. It was obviously a very important thing.

"A wanted order for treason... That's true." Li Qi scanned it and skipped it.

Has anything to do with him? A tough guy of that level, oh, no, a tough guy, why bother killing him?

The effect of this notice is probably to warn the world that such a rebellion has occurred.

That's all. How could he be killed by the power of the people?

Ignoring this, Li Qi continued reading.

Then he saw himself.
