Myriad Paths

"Brother Li?!" Huang Si made a startled voice. Then, he turned over and dismounted in surprise and walked forward: "Brother Li, are you back?!"

He didn't even care about the injured entourage, or even the bride behind him. He took three steps and two steps at a time, the joy on his face almost overflowing, he was even happier than marrying his wife.

"Brother Li, have you told Uncle Six that you are back? Do the other brothers know? Or have you just arrived at the mountain gate?" He stepped forward and put his hands on Li Qi's shoulders, showing no sign of unfamiliarity.

This also gave Li Qi some relief.

After all, they are brothers who have died. When we were in the Paibo Gang, the gang was everyone's home. We lived and died together, and fought for a bite of food together. Each of them had a friendship that could entrust their lives. It seems that this relationship is still there. Didn't fade.

"Huang Si, I just arrived, are you...getting married?" Li Qi's expression relaxed, he smiled, and patted the other party's shoulder.

"Yes, it's a double happiness! I'm getting married today, and you're here to have my wedding wine. Come on, let's go up the mountain! I want you to see our new home. You won't leave this time, right? From now on, we brothers will be considered respectable People who are popular and drink spicy food are all thanks to you for bringing us new exercises!" Huang Si said with a smile, and stopped riding, pulling Li Qi to the mountain gate.

Then he gestured behind him: "Kids, let's go! No more riding, Brother Li and I are walking up the mountain!"

Li Qi, on the other hand, held him in place with his hands on his shoulders.

Huang Si looked at Li Qi doubtfully.

Li Qi said: "Getting married is a big event. If you don't know the person well, you will either be confused by the matchmaker or you will be arrested. How can you know the beauty of other women? If you make a mistake and get married, you will marry an ordinary woman. , I can’t back out, how important is this life-long event? If you want to get married, you have to introduce the girl to your brother, right? "

As soon as he said this, Huang Si slapped his head: "Ha, Brother Li is still thoughtful, as usual, but this time you have misunderstood. Nowadays, getting married is not considered a life-long event. This is my sixth wife." Don’t worry, just come and have a drink with me!”

Li Qi was surprised.

How long has he been away from here and he has six wives, one every half a year?

Besides, he left Li Liuyi to the Paibo Gang at the beginning. Although the Paibo Gang's previous Paibo Jin was a fragment of Li Liuyi, which means that they all have the foundation of Li Liuyi. The practice should be relatively smooth, but it will take several years to transition.

It takes a few years to practice cultivation and transition, and then start a career. It takes a few years to be able to establish a stable foothold. It is already amazing. Where can I have time to marry so many wives?

"Six? I can't leave for more than a few years. Why do you have so many wives?" Li Qi looked at the sedan chair behind him and asked.

"Men, after you get rich, you will naturally marry more wives and have more children. If not, what's the point of working hard outside? Okay, don't stand here, let's go up and talk while eating wine." Huang Si said with a relaxed look.

"Wait for me." Li Qi shook his head, pulled Huang Si's hand away, walked straight to the bride's sedan chair, and opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

This move made the surrounding followers furious.

The groom hasn’t even lifted his hijab yet, what is this man doing! ? Even if he is Mr. Huang Si's brother, he is too shameless and disrespectful to act like this.

If this spreads out, it will be a rumor of cuckolding, and it will take blood to wash it away.

"stop!"

"Stop!"

"presumptuous!"

Several people made noises at the same time, and even jumped out to try to stop Li Qi.

But at this time, Huang Si rushed out on his own.

The target was not Li Qi, but several other disciples and followers who took action.

Huang Si's kung fu is very impressive. Although he has not yet reached the top level, he is one of the best people in the original Paibo Gang who practices Paibo Jin. He has laid a solid foundation, so his practice of Li Liuli is also making rapid progress. , quite smoothly, which means that the efforts of the past ten years can be transferred to stronger exercises without much loss.

Therefore, after he took action, he made a crackling sound in the air! The whole person is not like a carp but like a thin snake in the water. It is at an elusive angle. It darts left and right in the air with just one move, but the followers and disciples who were just about to take action fell to the ground, wailing.

"Master Si, you...!" Someone wailed on the ground and looked at Huang Si in confusion.

He and others were so loyal, why were they beaten by their boss?

But Huang Si put his hands on his hips and shouted to everyone around him: "Presumptuous? Who are you talking about?! That's my eldest brother! Don't talk about my wife, I'll give it to him even if he wants my life! Don't blame me for falling out with anyone who dares to take action. Don’t recognize anyone!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked and fearful, and they all looked at Li Qi over there.

Who is this? Why have you never heard of it?

You must know that Paibo Sect has suddenly emerged in the past two years and has already conquered the city of Lizhou. With its powerful skills and courage to fight and kill, there are also several strong men who have advanced to the innate level. , replacing the previous position of the Boshan Sect, has become the climate.

Although their name is unknown, their technique can instantly unleash double the power without any side effects. It can even allow them to hold their breath in the water. This is enough for them to have a huge advantage over their opponents at the same level.

After all, Li Liuyi is actually Luofu Shan's technique. Even if it is just used by Luofu Shan to prop up the table legs, it is not comparable to ordinary martial arts techniques.

And Huang Si is the backbone of the Paibo Sect and one of the strongest. He is very likely to break through the innate and become an innate warrior within ten years, which is why he has so many disciples and vassals.

Now, a man who appeared out of nowhere and whom no one knew was called eldest brother by Huang Si, and threatened: "Don't talk about my wife, I will give you my life."

What kind of friendship is this? Who is this? Isn't he another innate strong man? !

Look at the horse next to him. That horse is already very strong. It must be an innate strong person who can tame it.

Everyone looked at Li Qi in horror and awe, guessing his origins.

But Li Qi didn't care about this at all. After he opened the curtain, he didn't go in, but squatted on the frame: "Girl, I won't ask your name, and I won't lift your hijab. Just tell me honestly." Me, what’s going on with this marriage?”

Before Li Qi finished speaking, the girl suddenly couldn't hold herself any longer, and she immediately started sobbing.

Seeing this, Li Qi cast a heart-clearing spell in his hand, and then mixed water vapor, winter air, yin air, and the divine energy of the soul to create a beam of pure and calming qi, which was injected into her head.

The girl only felt a coolness filling her heart. The sadness and fear in her heart were all suppressed by the coldness. Her whole mind was clear, there were no more distracting thoughts, and she was no longer troubled by other thoughts. .

Li Qi asked again: "What's going on with this marriage?"

"Reporting to your lord, my daughter's name is Zhang Quanlie. She is the legitimate daughter of a member of Zhangjiazhuang. Recently, Zhangjiazhuang has been included in the scope of the Paibo Sect. If you want to avoid being harassed by bandits and wild beasts, you have to pay the same amount as before to the Boshan Sect. Jin… It’s just that the Boshan sect’s method requires abstinence, so it’s never been like this in the past…”

"The Paibo Sect is different. Most of them are bachelors, and their skills do not require abstinence... Therefore, in recent years, women from villages and settlements over a hundred miles away have married into the Boshan Sect..."

The girl named Zhang Quanlie, with the help of the Qingxin Curse and Li Qi's soul energy, quickly clarified the situation, and explained in an orderly and clear manner what the Paibo Sect had done over the years.

The narration lasted about ten minutes.

Li Qi, combined with various clues and his own thinking, simulated the development trajectory of the Paibo Gang in the past few years in his mind, and came up with a clue.

It turns out that the Boshan sect, whose elder was killed by Li Qi, has now been wiped out.

The one who took action was the Paibo Gang.

The Paibo Gang was very excited after getting the Liliu Yi. Everyone practiced hard every day. With the help of the water vapor of Lishui and the foundation of the previous Paibo Jin, their cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. It took two years and everyone worked together. After going through all kinds of hardships and piling all the resources of the entire gang on one person, one person finally broke through to the ninth level.

That is the so-called innate warrior.

The ninth rank is enough to establish a foothold in Lizhou City. The prefect of Lizhou is only a seventh rank. Thinking about how big the entire Lizhou is, it is only a seventh rank.

After all, Lizhou City is just a city, and the strongest people should be around the eighth level. The ninth level is already considered to be the best, enough to dominate a force.

And their first target was the Boshan sect, which lost a ninth-grade elder.

Obviously, the final result was the complete defeat of the Boshan Sect. Liliuyi, as a skill that is eligible to be included in Luofu Mountain, is much more powerful than the Boshan Sect's skills, so its combat power is also stronger.

However, after successfully taking over the Boshan Sect's territory, it had only been a year or two before the Paibo Gang became the Paibo Sect. They had already completely learned the previous Boshan Sect's style, and they had intensified it.

After listening to the narration, Li Qi said: "Girl, do you still want to get married? If you don't want to, just say so. No one will be held accountable, and no one will be held accountable for what happened today."

"Sir...I was indeed forced, but I can't believe your promise..." the girl responded calmly.

With the blessing of Yuanshen Shenqi, her thoughts were very clear and she became bolder. Normally she would not dare to say such things.

In fact, just saying it scared the family next to her.

"Even if I am Huang Si's eldest brother, don't you believe it?" Li Qi said again.

"You can't stay here to protect us. When you leave...how can we protect ourselves?" The girl looked up and asked.

"After you said these words, you can no longer protect yourself and can only believe in me." Li Qi said.

The girl was stunned.

The Pure Heart Charm and Yuanshen Shenqi gave her calmness, but did not improve her IQ.

She was silent for a while and nodded: "Then I...believe you."

"Then leave it to me." Li Qi stood up, jumped off the carriage, and walked to Huang Si.

"Brother Li..." Huang Si frowned. He could see that Brother Li was very angry.

"You robbed civilian girls." Li Qi said to him, not as a question, but as a statement, but his tone was relatively calm and there was no fluctuation.

"What's this? Isn't this what we did before?" Huang Si was puzzled.

He had previously thought that Li Qi had fallen in love with that woman, so it wouldn't matter if he gave it to his eldest brother. They were both brothers, and their lives were tied together, let alone a woman?

If three people were trapped in a valley with no food, he would definitely kill the girl with a knife first, and then the two of them would eat it and then think of something else.

"Before? When have we done this before?" Li Qi frowned.

"Isn't there no chance? But Brother Li, look at the past, Shan Dazhuang has robbed it, right? The old Master Bai has robbed it, right? It's even said that Boshan Sect directly occupied Huafang before. Even now, look at Qianjimen Has this happened before? Everyone is like this, what's wrong?" Huang Si spread his hands and looked at Li Qi in confusion.

A series of rhetorical questions made Li Qi speechless.

Yes, everywhere.

In the land of Baiyue, humane laws do not exist, and there is no justice for witchcraft and magic. What is left is the so-called "human nature" that grows barbarically.

It's not their problem, it's the Great Deer Country that has turned them into this. In this land where the road no longer exists, what else can a group of trackers become like living with the flow? Do you expect them to have an epiphany on their own?

impossible.

"That's all, let the sedan chair disperse with these people. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. You and the other people who joined the sect will come with me. Let's go see Uncle Six first." After Li Qi sighed, he waved his hand.

When Huang Si saw this, he didn't say much. He waved his hand to tell the sedan chair and the wedding procession to go back. He tore off the big red flower on his chest and threw Sina's red robe aside.

"Although I don't know what you are worried about, Brother Li, but you have always been the smartest in the gang, so you must have a point. Then I will listen to you. By the way, Brother Li, what is your cultivation level? What was your Paibo back then? Jin is also very handsome, he should be very powerful now, right?" Huang Si's tone was not grudge at all, he threw off his clothes, walked over to Li Qi, and chatted with him happily.

"I'm... innate, and I'm a little stronger than the average innate." Li Qi opened his mouth, and finally decided to describe his cultivation in words that Huang Si could understand.

Maybe they had heard some clues about the nine-grade grading method, but they obviously didn't take it to heart. For them, an innate warrior was the pinnacle of cultivation.

"Haha! I knew that the gang now has another innate! Now it can expand again. Now it means that you are qualified to go inside the city, and you don't have to listen to the orders of those big gangs outside the city!" Huang Si was overjoyed when he heard this and tried his best Er patted Li Qi and kept praising him.

The two of them went up the mountain directly from the mountain gate regardless of the others. With Huang Si leading the way, they naturally didn't dare to stop them.

As they entered the mountain gate, many old people from the Paibo Gang saw Li Qi.

Suddenly, the entire mountain gate was happy, and everyone knew it.

‘Brother Li’ is back.
