Myriad Paths

After coming here for several years, Li Qi had already learned the skill of falling asleep anywhere.

I had no choice but to pull the boat from day to night. At the end of the day, I was so exhausted that I just lay down on the gravel by the river and fell asleep.

Tracker, what can you do?

If you want to stay in a hotel, it will cost you twenty yuan a night. This is still a big hotel. If you want a single room, you can't afford it for forty or fifty yuan. He is still reluctant to be so luxurious.

Think about it, the world used to be like this.

Many farmers cultivate land for a year and bring it to the city. After selling it, they only have two to three thousand yuan left in their pockets.

Going to the city, making so much money, but staying for one night...not to mention big hotels, even those fast hotels, can easily cost one, two, three or four hundred yuan.

So they would rather sit on the roadside and stay up all night than stay in an express hotel.

Li Qi now falls into this category.

But fortunately, at least he had enough to eat tonight.

It is enough to huddle in a corner with the eaves covering you.

Li Qi closed his eyes and prepared to rest. After all, he had been on the road all day and night yesterday and was already exhausted. He tied the baggage to his hand and carried it in his arms. No one could think of carrying it without alerting him. Encountered baggage.

He is asleep.

However, there was a faint gaze, looking at Li Qi through the deep night sky.

"He has a decent temperament, plenty of wit, but also bravery, and is calm and collected. Even if he is wanted by himself, he will act as if nothing has happened. How does this kid look like a Guizhou tracker? Sure enough, is he a heretic?"

At the river viewing platform, the "Zhu Gongzi" who was on the same stage as the Lizhou Prefect, and even asked the prefect to salute respectfully, was standing in the guest room of an inn not far away, looking at Li through the open window. start.

"After all the hard work, a round of sacrifices was held, and the result was that heretics appeared, which would be very good for me." He said to himself: "It is difficult for heretics to predict, but I finally found a trace of it after all the hard work. Traces, but does this heretic refer to this thing...or that person?" Mr. Zhu was playing with the broken game console in his hand.

He has used many methods to test it, including earth, fire, geomantic omen, thunder and ghost, and divine light and will. He has all tried to contact this thing, and finally determined that this thing will only react to weak electric current.

But there was only a reaction. All the components inside were broken and could not be activated at all.

Is it the effect of this external object or the effect of this person?

Mr. Zhu was thinking.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" But at this time, a woman's voice came from the side, the kind of whining sound made after the mouth is blocked.

"Stop screaming, your power has been dissipated, and this silencing curse cannot be broken." Mr. Zhu put away the game console, turned around, sat on the stool, and looked at the beautiful woman on the bed.

If Li Qi were here, he would definitely be able to tell at a glance that this was Shen Shuibi, the demon that he had tried every means to escape.

"Empress Luofu's personal maid... Oh, what a big fish. The results of the festival are really good at all. The outsiders are so lucky for me. This kind of amazing work was delivered directly to my mouth. You can get it by opening your mouth and biting it," Mr. Zhu said to Shen Shuibi.

Shen Shuibi's face looked horrified. Although she seemed to have no restraints on her body, she seemed to be tightly bound. Her whole body was like a fish that had been fished ashore. She kept flopping around, but she couldn't stand up. Can't get out of bed.

Seeing her struggling, Mr. Zhu seemed a little bored and said to her: "I will untie you and let you speak, but you'd better cooperate well. Can you do it?"

"If you can't, don't blame me for taking you back to Wushen Mountain."

"Although I am not capable of divining the location of the Luofu Empress through you, there is always one of the many great fortune-tellers in Wushen Mountain who can do it. When the time comes, you will not even have the chance to cooperate with me." Mr. Zhu said.

"You are Empress Luofu's personal maid, and you are closely connected with her. Can you guess whether the fortune-tellers at Wushen Mountain can directly trace Empress Luofu's location through you?"

"When the time comes, she will die because of you."

After saying that, Mr. Zhu waited for Shen Shuibi's answer.

But she saw that Shen Shuibi was no longer fussy, but tears appeared in her eyes and fell down.

She sobbed for a while, then quickly wiped her tears on the pillow and nodded.

It seems that they have agreed to cooperate.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhu untied her restraints with a wave of his hand.

Her whole body was suddenly free, but she didn't move.

"This Da Zhu..." Shen Shuibi looked at Mr. Zhu tremblingly.

"No, I'm just a wisher, not a big wisher, but it doesn't matter, you can call me whatever you like." Zhu Gongzi said.

He still looks like a young boy and looks very kind.

"Shen Shuibi, right? Don't be so afraid. I restrained you before just because I was afraid that you might have some secret method. Now that you are determined to cooperate and you don't have any secret method, why should I embarrass you?"

"Besides, you should have noticed it, right? If I really wanted to take you back to Wushen Mountain, I would have gone back a long time ago. Why do you still want to stay now?" Master Zhu said.

After all, she is the maid next to Empress Luofu, so she should be able to appreciate her kindness.

However, Mr. Zhu did not expect that Shen Shuibi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in realization, and his trembling body relaxed.

ah? Why does this, Empress Luofu's maid, seem a little stupid?

However, just calm down, it's not the main thing anyway, it doesn't matter whether you are stupid or not.

However, seeing Shen Shuibi still stunned, Mr. Zhu spoke again: "Shen Shuibi, do you think that the land of Baiyue has become a humane world?"

Shen Shuibi was suddenly awakened and nodded quickly: "The Empress said... the Baiyue countries were so influenced by the Tang Dynasty that they no longer respected the way of witchcraft, but only the way of humanity."

These blunt words made Mr. Zhu's face darken.

"Ahem, although Empress Luofu is knowledgeable, she is not from Baiyue after all. She doesn't know enough about the current situation. Wushen Mountain is still the lord of Baiyue in the final analysis. The Hundred Thousand Mountains and the countries of Baiyue still obey the orders of Wushen Mountain. !" Mr. Zhu said with a gloomy face.

"Then why are there counties and prefectures nearby? Are there county magistrates and officials? Do you still rely on laws to govern the world? I heard that aren't these the characteristics of humanity?" Shen Shuibi asked doubtfully.

"Don't ask those useless questions!" Mr. Zhu said angrily: "Let's get down to business, Wushen Mountain is not just for free. We can still speak in the land of Baiyue. Empress Luofu was wronged in the Tang Dynasty and fled to Baiyue. Maybe she can come to Wushen Mountain. Holy Mountain, meet the witch gods."

"But... Your Majesty is not here, what's the use of telling me..." Shen Shuibi looked a little aggrieved.

"So, I am going to ask you to take the messenger to inform Empress Luofu." Mr. Zhu let out a long breath and regained his composure before continuing.
