Myriad Paths

We arrived at Liesu very quickly, only a few days later.

Li Qi found a 'walker' in Liesu.

Pedestrians, like wishers and diviners, are a type of witchcraft and are also responsible for their duties.

Pedestrians, in the early days of the Kingdom, all the officials did not go out. Whenever something came up, they would send travelers to take charge of the duties of envoys. Whenever they were ordered to send envoys, they would say to receive orders when they went, and they would say to return orders when they came.

Obviously, the duties of pedestrians are very simple, that is, to run errands. Correspondingly, they have also mastered many methods of fast movement, and their combat capabilities are not low. They are a very powerful lineage.

Running errands is not simple, and the status is actually not low. Although it is said to be running errands, in fact, the official description should be 'handling external affairs'. It is a formal field worker and the most trusted fire-fighting expert of the sect.

He handed the three letters and a mustard seed bag to the passer-by and asked him to take them to Chang'an.

Three letters, one to Bo Hai Guo, and a mustard seed bag to Brother Guo, which contains all the ingredients and some remaining treasures.

It's a pity that some of these treasures were consumed during Li Qi's fight, but most of them are still left, so they are all returned in their original form, and you can't take advantage of others.

I just took part of it as the pedestrian's reward. After all, I was delivering goods to him. If I gave him more, it wouldn't be a problem, right?

The second letter was sent to the people in Luofu Mountain in Chang'an, asking them to evacuate and return to Wushen Mountain, and take away all Li Qi's shares in Wu Qi Silkworm in cash. Wu Qi Silkworm would have nothing to do with him from then on, so as not to implicate Liu Qi. Participate in them.

The third letter was sent to Liu Shenzhi, explaining to him the subsequent separation.

When he wrote the third letter, Li Qicai truly understood what it means to have "different ways and not to work together".

He and Liu Shenzhi do not have any personal conflicts. They have a good relationship and appreciate each other. They are very good friends. They have been very happy to cooperate with Wu Qishan during the years of studying in Chang'an.

However, Tao is different.

Just these three words, no matter how good the relationship is, will only become strangers in the future, leading to conflicts with each other.

However... I am afraid that these three words "different ways" cannot be described as "merely". This is the biggest difference. All personal friendships seem so insignificant in front of these three words.

Imagine that if Liu Shenzhi went to the Holy Flame Realm, then the Holy Flame Realm would probably be a slave world now. This is a fundamentally different worldview. Although everyone gets along well now, there will always be differences in some ideas.

Such disagreements, over time, will always tear friendships apart.

Let's not talk about these things. After writing three letters, Li Qi paid the pedestrian the reward and asked the other party to deliver it.

Naturally, the pedestrian agreed seriously. After all, it was a commission from a young master, and the reward was generous, so it definitely needed to be taken seriously.

Although Chang'an is far away, for a traveler who specializes in this kind of thing, the round trip only takes about ten days, which is nothing.

After doing this, Li Qi, Shen Shuibi, and Lao Ma started the constellation.

In just a moment, they arrived at Wushen Mountain.

Wushen Mountain is as peaceful as ever. Everyone is doing their own thing, making friends, having fun, working, practicing, studying, performing their duties and doing their own thing.

In order, the whole world operates according to nature and the most appropriate way.

Everyone has their own position, everyone has their own tasks, and everyone has completed their own things, so the world runs smoothly and long-term.

This is the world that Wu Jin pursues. Heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts all have their own places. If this naturally formed avenue is continued, the great source of heaven and earth can be strengthened, and everything can be self-sufficient, forming a perfect internal cycle. Everyone can even create something out of nothing. Just like the wizards, everyone can generate what they need out of thin air, just like the world itself.

What witchcraft pursues is the world itself.

The world itself is already perfect, you just need to get closer to this perfection and maintain this perfection.

As for the stupid thing about transcending the world...

How to surpass it?

You transcended a small world, such as those ninth- and eighth-level worlds floating outside the territory. Some of them transcended a small world and came to the outside.

Isn’t the outside world the world?

You continue to transcend, break through world after world, transcend endlessly, soar countless times, and break boxes after boxes.

so what?

Among these infinite boxes within boxes, which one is not the ‘world’?

You have transcended infinite times and broken through infinite boxes. In the end, you are still in the world, and even you are an integral part of the world from beginning to end, forever.

The world can never be transcended. It is said that it is transcendence, but in fact, it is just a small shackle that transcends. It is just that you have seen a newer and larger world, which is also a part of the world.

What the witchcraft has to do is to approach the limit of the infinite world and reach the point where the human body is as perfect as the real world. Until then, just maintain the laws that the world should have and mediate all things.

This is the dream that Wu Tao pursues, and it is the ultimate goal of the entire Taoism. It pursues the ultimate harmony between human body and nature, and the great source of heaven and earth is extremely powerful.

This is true nature.

Nature is never an animal or plant. It refers to the universe itself, all time, all space, and there is nothing other than this. Even if you transcend time itself, but... your own movement still has its own unique characteristics. Time for yourself?

You can never transcend yourself, so nature is the ultimate pursuit. There is no higher thing than this. If there is, it is part of nature.

Li Qi now has a deep enough understanding of Wu Dao, so when he saw Wu Shen Mountain, he couldn't help but sigh at the grand pursuit of Wu Dao.

Now that the witchcraft is like this, what is the ultimate pursuit in other places in the Nine Realms?

He knows the way of humanity, which wants to conquer everything and replace heaven with man.

Apart from that, he didn't know about other orthodox traditions.

There is still a lot to learn.

Thinking this, Li Qi took a deep breath in the hinterland of Wushen Mountain.

Hmm... This kind of pure, high-quality Qi makes even Luofu Mountain seem inferior.

A mortal can easily live two hundred years just by living in such a place. If one is willing to practice cultivation, getting food is as easy as eating. This is the benefit of the powerful source of heaven and earth.

"Li Qi, where are we... going now?" At this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly said to Li Qi who was in a daze.

"Ah? Where to go?" Li Qi reacted from his sighing contemplation, and then smiled: "Go to the teacher's cave, he should be waiting for us now."

"Da Zhu Cave Mansion? Yes, it's time to pay a visit. Until now, I haven't officially paid a visit to Da Zhu. It's indeed a bit rude. I should make up for it this time." Shen Shuibi nodded.

However, when she nodded, she remembered what happened when she was arrested by Zhu Fengdan.

Zhu Fengdan caught her and planned to use Shen Shuibi and Empress Luofu's induction to finally find Empress Luofu and hold the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron in her hands.

At that time, Zhu Fengdan... was not very polite. He directly grabbed Dingsei, tied him behind him, and dragged him away.

Shen Shuibi still hasn't figured it out, why he has to drag her behind when he can fly her away directly...

However, she had already heard that Li Qi's master was a weirdo, and it was not surprising that he did weird things.

But no matter what, she is a disciple's wife after all, and it's time for her to pay serious respects to her master.

In the world of practitioners, the word master is almost the same as father, and can even be said to be more important.

Your parents just gave you life, but your master wants to pass on the orthodoxy to you.

What does life mean in front of the road?

Therefore, the etiquette when facing the master is the most important. It is indeed rude for Shen Shuibi not to take the initiative to meet him for so long.

"Don't worry about these, teacher... well, how should I put it, I guess he won't care too much about these. Although etiquette is important, you don't need to take it too seriously. Just be casual." Li Qi said.

"Okay." Shen Shuibi agreed simply without any hesitation.

This is also her character.

Since Li Qi said that it can be casual, then just be casual, and she listened.

As for suspicion...? Or make your own decision?

It's not necessary, that's Li Qi's master. Treat him as Li Qi says, but he doesn't understand.

Li Qi also knew that Shen Shuibi was straightforward in this regard, so he did not rest after finishing speaking, but continued to introduce Zhu Fengdan's style of conduct to her.

From hobbies and life, to daily hobbies and some special rumors.

Shen Shuibi listened carefully, absorbed the information, and considered how to face Zhu Fengdan.

But, as she listened...she felt that something was not quite right.

"Li Qi, so to speak, your master..." Shen Shuibi's expression was a little subtle, and she didn't know how to describe it.

Are there really such deviant people in this world?

If this is true, how did he practice till now? With such an appearance, it must be extremely difficult to practice.

However... the other party is a third-grade person, and there must be a deeper meaning to being so wild. It should be because he is shallow and cannot understand the mystery.

"Actually, it looks normal at first glance, and it's not too rude. Don't worry." Li Qi comforted her.

In fact, he is almost used to it, it just depends on whether Shen Shuibi can get used to it.

Fortunately, Rabbit has always been a stable and calm person. After nodding slightly, he accepted the reality.

After all, no matter how strange he is, he is still Li Qi's master, and he is also a third-grade great blessing. He is on the same level as Empress Luofu. He is indeed an elder who should be respected.

While chatting like this, the two of them rode old horses and flew for about two days. Finally, they arrived at Zhu Fengdan's cave.

How to tell if it is Zhu Fengdan’s cave?

Quite simply, the grass doesn't even grow here.

There is a bare mountain, next to it, next door, and other places, there are all kinds of beautiful things. Not to mention the paradise of caves, at least it can be regarded as a place with outstanding people. This is the only place. It is as bare as a dead place, a place where birds don’t poop and insects don’t crawl. It seems that I never take care of it on weekdays.

Besides, even if it is never taken care of, according to the strength of the great source of heaven and earth near Wushen Mountain, even the seeds blown by the wind will be lush and green, and will not be so bald.

Seemingly seeing Shen Shuibi's doubts, Li Qi explained with a smile: "Teacher has accumulated a lot of strange things at home, and he didn't bother to seal them, nor did he keep them properly, so the auras of these things were mixed together. The interweaving and fusion creates a special 'position' around me. Even if I stay in it, I can't breathe, and it's impossible for ordinary life to survive in it, which is why it seems so deserted. "

"Uh... If you don't preserve it properly, even the best spiritual objects will leak their power, right? Besides, many treasures are mixed together and have their own effects, which will also affect their usage and lifespan..." Shen Shuibi took a look. The orchid in my arms couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Teacher, he doesn't care much about this kind of thing. As I said just now, those things are not his at all... he got them from various places using unknown means, so naturally he doesn't Why should you take it to heart?" Li Qi shook his head.

But he immediately thought of something and patted Shen Shuibi on the shoulder: "But don't worry, with the teacher's personality, there is a high probability that he will not keep us for dinner, which will only last two or three hours. After that, we will come out on our own. No need." too long."

"Well, okay." Shen Shuibi felt relieved after hearing this.

In this way, Granny Lan will not feel uncomfortable for too long. For two or three hours, there will be basically no impact.

After discussing it, two people and one dragon entered.

Then came the darkness that Li Qi was familiar with.

The surrounding area seemed to be an endless void outside the realm, with nothing and nothing existing.

But not long after, buildings began to appear around it. It was a large hall, which looked like a ruin. It had not been taken care of for a long time, and dust was everywhere. It was hard to imagine that the residence of a powerful person would be like this.

Because of dust removal, they only need a thought to be permanently dust-free. They don't even bother to think about it. This shows what the situation is...

Li Qi walked in the front, Shen Shuibi followed Li Qi, Lao Ma shrank his body, hid on Li Qi's shoulder, and walked inside together.

Shen Shuibi held the orchid and looked around curiously.

In the square outside the main hall, there are countless... rare treasures.

Those are really rare treasures. Shen Shuibi has a good eye, and there are many third- and fourth-grade treasures among them. However, these things are piled there like garbage, and no one is cleaning them up. Even the living spiritual grass among them looks wilted. wilted.

Li Qi was already used to strange things, so he knocked on the door of the main hall: "Teacher, we are here!"

After knocking on the door, after waiting for a while, I heard Zhu Fengdan's voice coming from the hall: "Oh! You're here as soon as you come, what kind of gift do you bring! Why are you so polite? Then I will be disrespectful~"

As she spoke, Shen Shuibi suddenly felt a huge force coming from the orchid in her hand, and it was snatched away from her arms!

Suddenly, the rabbit's eyes turned red!
