Myriad Paths

After Li Qi turned around, he felt extremely strange.

A man of reason... This may be true. After all, what the other party said is reasonable and reasonable, and you can't even tell the truth from the false by yourself.

We can only verify it from multiple sources at that time to see if we can find any flaws.

It should be impossible for Dongyu to be a mirage. The authenticity of this thing can still be guaranteed. The work of these reasonable people in Dongyu should also be practical and reliable.

Just a little bit.

Do these reasonable people know anything about it? Or were they just dragged into it?

Well, there is no point in thinking about these things, but the other party's understanding of spiritual ways and rational ways can indeed be learned from, and this alone has the value of making friends.

Even if it is fishing bait, this bait is sweet and delicious. After eating it, Li Qi is still quite confident in his ability to unhook.

If it doesn't work, just run away. With so many cards in his possession, it's more than enough to save his life.

Well, let's make friends first and see. As for the possible situation behind it, let's take it one step at a time. You can't give up eating because of choking, and do nothing because of being plotted by someone. Just like a hedgehog, be on guard every day.

However, the most basic safety issues still need to be paid attention to.

So be it, it’s decided for now.

After making the decision, Li Qi was ready to look for ships first.

Although I have no connections in Dongyu and basically no intelligence information, I still need to be prepared.

Look here first, and then look at Li Dao. If the relationship is okay, it will be safer to ask these locals to look for treasure ships for themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Qi walked to Lao Ma and truly entered Dongyu.

Dongyu has five discs. The hands, shoulders, and head of this giant puppet are all discs, which support many buildings to form a city.

He came to the disc on his left hand. Since everyone was walking this way, he came in directly. The local rules were not clear yet, so just follow the crowd and observe slowly.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Qi saw a large market where countless sea dwellers were selling various types of local specialties to newcomers to Dongyu.

It was still the sea here, but it was different from the violent East China Sea that Li Qi had experienced before.

Near the Yuanpan of Dongyu Island, the sea surface is unusually calm. There is a vast and easy-to-traverse calm sea with good and clean water quality. Around the Yuanpan are many strips of huge dead coral reefs.

The old horse was pacing slowly on the calm sea.

If you run too fast, you will easily bump into people. It’s not far anyway, so just walk slowly at this speed.

Near the rocks that Li Qi passed by, there were countless lights coming and going. Most of the sea dwellers were snails, clams, and sharks. They were noisy and laughing, hearing the sounds of pearls and brocades being sold, and the sound of counting money and things. Around the disk, There are thousands of layers of pavilions, all like five-colored glass, appearing and disappearing, and changing in a moment, as if they are in the water clouds.

However, although this scene is fantasy and beautiful, no matter how Li Qi looks at it... he feels that the sea market in front of him is a bit like the kind of people selling agricultural products in backpacks in the rest area under the highway.

It should be essentially the same, right?

Holding the old horse, Li Qi was about to cross the sea market when he saw a shark swimming towards him quickly and said in a skilled human language: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Do you want a pearl? They are both. The best pearl!”

The mermaid was female, with a delicate appearance. Her body was covered with some glowing blue-purple scales. Her lower body was a fish body, and she moved dexterously through the water. Her upper body was naked. Looking from afar, it made people look at her, recognizing the mermaid's flirtation.

The shark swam under Li Qi and held up a clam shell in both hands. The shell contained many white pearls.

The pearls are shining and shining, the big one is four or five inches, the small one is three inches, each one is like a light bulb. If you take it to Baiyue, each one will be worth a thousand gold.

The other party's call was true. It was indeed the best pearl. It had obviously reached the ninth level, but it could already be used as a raw material for magic weapons.

The pearls that go up are no longer at the level of bright pearls. They cannot be called 'materials used as magic weapons', but should be called natural magic weapons.

Just like mirage beads can produce illusions, oyster beads can create fire, and pearls spewed by tortoiseshell can avoid water. These are all powerful orbs, not raw materials.

There are even other powerful things, such as dragon balls and even a moon.

There is a poem that goes: "The clam contains the moon and floats in the sea, and the Pearl River also spits out pearls." In this legend, the moon is the pearl spit out by the clam shell.

Of course, the lunar moon in the world is definitely not the same, but the moon in other worlds is not necessarily the same. These pearls can really hang in the sky as the moon.

Li Qi looked at these pearls and felt a little moved secretly, so he got off his old horse, stepped on the water, squatted and said to the shark floating in the water: "How do you sell these pearls?"

"Except for not accepting silver, everything else is fine. What do you use to pay for it, sir? Whether it's pure Qi beads, or spells, magic weapons, or rare items that can be exchanged! These are just samples, there are more below. !" The mermaid girl introduced Li Qi with a smile.

Li Qi was curious, so he buried his head in the water and looked into the water.

Putting his head into the water, his eyes flashed, Li Qi could clearly see that there were many sharks, snails, clams, sea people and the like below.

At this time, Li Qicai discovered that those rocks grew directly on Dongyu's body, forming many buildings!

On the bodies of this giant puppet that sank into the sea, there is an underwater city!

The head, hands and shoulders hold up the city in the air, while Dongyu’s body is the underwater city.

Li Qi felt that his knowledge was still shallow. He actually thought that Dongyu was the five trays above, but he never thought that there were underwater inhabitants living inside the puppet's body.

Coral green, with dozens of branches per tree, without leaves among the branches, grows in clumps in the underwater body of Dongyu Island. Under the shelter of the reefs and corals, many sea dwellers living among them can be faintly seen, building houses in the water. , the algae cover is repaired, sleeping quietly, and the structure is exquisite.

Under these rocks, Li Qi also saw countless blue-white pearly clams, which seemed to be artificially cultivated clam fields, as well as some barnacles, and even farmed fish schools. There were sea shepherds driving the fish schools, but Instead of using violence, he sang softly, and the fish took the initiative to surround him and queue up to eat the bait.

Li Qi raised his head from the water and said with great interest: "I want your pearls. I'll use two ninth-grade magic weapons to buy a hundred of them. Isn't the price fair?"

Based on the quality of the pearl's inner energy, Li Qi felt that this was a very high price, definitely higher than the market price.

You know, the magic weapon in his hand is not a standard magic weapon, but an active magic weapon made by the magic weapon silkworm. The price is still higher than the standard magic weapon.

In fact, magic weapons are not that common outside of humanity. The magic weapon assembly line is a unique technology of humanity. Other places still do not have the luxury of using magic weapons to lay floor tiles at home.

After saying this, Li Qi turned over his hand and took out two ninth-grade magic weapons, a wine cup and a candle from the mustard bag.

Ahem... don't make fun, don't make fun, who said tableware can't be treasured? Both of these are genuine ninth-grade powers, okay?

With the magic weapon silkworms, Li Qi had too many magic weapons in his hands. He usually kept the ones that customers returned or wanted to recast.

The wine cup can hold a large amount of liquid, and a cup can hold a thousand pounds of wine. It can also perform illusions. When combined with wine, it can achieve a real and illusory hypnotic effect. It can entertain drinkers in Shangyuan of the Tang Dynasty, and it can also be used in other places. A magic weapon that comes in handy in various places.

Lamps and candles have the function of gathering light, and they can also burn light into flames and have the ability to control fire. They are used for light shows in Shangyuan, but as we all know... the spotlights on the Italian football field are also used on the African battlefield. It has a big effect.

For the sharks in front of them, this is definitely big business.

Sure enough, the mermaid girl looked surprised and her eyes shone.

It really shines, the biubiubiu sparkle is very bright.

"This...this is too much. One hundred beads, only one is enough." The shark girl said immediately.

Li Qi nodded here.

He estimated based on the higher price in Tang State. In a production area like the East China Sea, it should be cheaper, but this was also the reason why he took the initiative to quote a high price.

Then, Li Qi said: "Anything more will be considered as reward. Girl, I am new to Dongyu. Can you please lead the way for me, be my tour guide, and help me get familiar with Dongyu?"

"This is the reward for leading the way." Li Qi pointed at the lamp and said.

"Lead the way? That's possible, but how long will it take?" The shark girl was delighted at first, then suddenly realized something, and immediately asked again.

"It won't take long, just three days." Li Qi said.

"Three days!?" The shark girl was shocked.

Li Qi was stunned: "Is it long? But if it is shorter...I'm afraid I won't be able to finish shopping."

"No...no, three days. That ninth-grade magic weapon is too expensive. How about...seven days?" The mermaid girl considered it for a moment, wagging her tail and said, while her eyes became brighter.

Li Qi was stunned.

In the East China Sea, the folk customs are so simple?

Both high prices were pushed down by the seller, making it difficult for him to sell favors.

However, seven days is okay and within the acceptable range, so Li Qi nodded: "Okay, then seven days, these two will be together."

The mermaid girl patted her tail happily, then looked at the clam shell, picked out the excess, then put the excess away with the belt tied around her waist, and then raised the clam shell in front of Li Qi: "Sir, please accept it. As for the tour guide, when do you want to start?"

"How about starting from now on?" Li Qi said.

At this time, the mermaid girl was in trouble. She frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "But... I still need to go home and report something..."

"It doesn't matter, I haven't decided where to stay. I just go with you. After you take care of your family affairs, you can take me around as you like. The main thing is to introduce me to the operation and accommodation of Dongyu City. Don’t worry about it,” Li Qi said casually.

After he said this, the mermaid girl calmed down and nodded immediately: "That's just like what Mr. said, but is it really convenient for you? My home is in the water."

"What's the problem in the water? Old Ma, let's go." Li Qi said to Old Ma.

The old horse snorted and stomped lightly with its hoofs on the water. The whole horse fell directly into the water, but it did not choke. The dragon scales on his body flashed quickly, and his bright black eyes flashed. He quickly adapted to the water.

He is a dragon horse and can move freely in the water. In the water, his speed is much faster than Li Qi.

As a witch, Li Qi is self-sufficient in his small world. He does not need to breathe, nor does he rely on the external environment to survive. Therefore, although he is not good at water and will feel constrained when moving in the water, it would be better if he simply survives in the water. No problem at all.

Seeing Li Qi sinking into the water, the mermaid girl also entered the water and led Li Qi towards the water.

Li Qi himself is not good at water. If he is allowed to swim by himself, there will probably be two results.

Or in order to speed up, force yourself to turn into a jet, directly force the bricks to fly, make huge noises, force yourself to push yourself in the water, waste most of the power on creating spectacles, and only 20% of the 100% of the power can be used. When accelerating, everything else turns into a huge water splash spectacle, which may cause huge waves.

Either swim slowly, it's definitely faster than a mortal, but there's a high chance that you won't be able to swim with the shark in front of you.

That's why I brought Lao Ma here.

But he saw Li Qi grabbing the old horse's saddle with one hand. The old horse only moved its hoof tips slightly, and the surrounding water actively pushed the two of them forward, following the shark.

The mermaid girl was originally worried that Li Qi wouldn't be able to keep up, but after discovering Long Ju's ability to control water, she no longer worried and swam straight into the water.

Li Qi and Lao Ma followed downstream.

However, as we swam, the surroundings became darker and darker, but beautiful stars appeared. The sky turned into a deep night sky full of stars, and the stars changed with the rotation of the light.

Li Qi was stunned and couldn't help but observe the scene around him.

But these are nothing. The most eye-catching thing is the full moon above the head.

It's daytime now and there won't be a moon.

Moreover, the moon at this time should be a new moon, but... the bright and flawless moon that suddenly appeared was a round full moon.

However, Li Qi even felt that the ocean produced tides due to the gravity of the moon, but this tide did not bring any impact. The sea water only rose slowly and then fell.

The sky suddenly filled with stars and a full moon surprised Li Qi and Lao Ma.

But the sharks around seemed to have become accustomed to it.

So, Li Qi looked around at the stars and the full moon, and immediately realized that they were not the moon and stars.

That's... a pearl.

Countless pearl lights and shadows are projected on the sea above, forming the beautiful sky.
