Myriad Paths

Li Qi's mission when he came to the outside world this time was to win over the world around Xinsu so that they can contribute to jointly resist humanity. And because of the magic formula given by the Shenyi Army, he can also try to communicate with the 'Fire'. If Being able to get the slightest hint of the star officer's direction will have a crucial impact on the battle situation.

Humanity would certainly do the same thing, though.

The relationship between Humanity and the Star Officials is also very good. Although they and Ziwei Tianting are at odds with each other, this does not affect the Xingguan from helping Humanity from time to time.

Moreover, there was a human emperor in the past who also served as a star official. Although I don’t know what happened to Mao Ni, he must have something, and he had to guard against it.

If the position of the Human Emperor could also serve as a star official, Li Qi wouldn't believe it if it weren't for the internal records of Wushen Mountain.

But let’s talk about it, we’ve already come here anyway, let’s go to this world first, find the leader of the spiritual silk world, explain our situation clearly, and then gradually spread out with the spiritual silk world as the center.

With this thought in mind, Li Qifei headed towards the World Barrier and started lining up.

It's really a queue. There are many, many merchant ships here, too many to count, all of which are here to transport the production of cassocks in this world. So if you want to get in, you have to queue up and have your qualifications checked one by one.

There are many teams ahead, mainly divided into three teams: motorcade and human team.

There are two convoys, which are large ships, magic weapons and the like. They are divided into commercial and civilian ones. The commercial ones are usually world-class giant ships, and they are all in another channel tens of millions of miles away.

The civilian ones are all small flying boats, lined up thousands of miles away. From here, you can see all kinds of strange and strange magic weapons floating there, waiting to enter the world.

Then there is the human team, which is from Li Qi's place.

Many, many people, probably...tens of thousands, were queuing up. Some were bringing their families with them, and some were alone like Li Qi, floating in the void. The tens of thousands of people in front were divided into two or three hundred teams. There are many local practitioners in the spiritual silk world verifying identity information.

Pretty formal.

This was Li Qi's first time coming to this kind of 'civilized' world outside the territory. He had been to uncivilized worlds before, so he was still a little bit fresh.

There were people lined up in front and behind, but the one in front couldn't be considered a human being. It was said to be a humanoid creature, but it looked like a cucumber, with green skin and no elasticity. He didn't know what species it was. Li Qi had never seen it before. .

However, behind him is a normal humanoid creature, which looks a bit like a shark in the world. However, the lower body is not a fish tail, but a normal leg. However, the characteristics of aquatic creatures can still be seen, such as the webs on the fingers. , and the gills behind the ears.

Finally, are gills useful in the air? That is naturally the same as Li Qi's nose. Although it does look like it, it is actually of no use in the void.

As a practitioner, these organs are more of a symbol of the inner heaven and earth, rather than what they are actually used for.

Moreover, they also speak in the elegant dialect of Tianxia, ​​which shows the influence of Tianxia on their culture.

In fact, Li Qi could see that the relatives of these races all spoke in their own languages, but to foreigners, they all spoke the elegant language of the world.

After all, the influence of the world is here, and it is convenient to speak in the same language.

There is no medium in the ordinary sense in the outer void, so sound cannot propagate normally. Therefore, everyone's conversations are carried out through specific Qi as a carrier. Anyway, as long as it can propagate sound, it is enough. Because of this, sound can propagate quite far, as long as you are willing. If you go to collect this energy, you can even hear sounds from more than ten miles away.

Li Qi listened to these people's words curiously, wanting to learn some knowledge and folk customs from outside the country that he didn't understand.

However, from what I heard, these people were basically talking about business.

Talking about which world group’s specialties are good, which place’s prices have recently increased, which place has recently experienced trouble, and which place has developed new technologies and new products.

However, after all, Li Qi was in this industry and had a chamber of commerce under him. He listened to some of the news with great interest and nodded slightly, but in other news, he could clearly hear the loopholes and he made it up as soon as he heard it.

True and false, false and true, all kinds of words are being spread. When the distance expands to the concept of light years, it is basically impossible to judge the truth and falsehood.

As he listened, the aquatic race person behind him suddenly took the initiative to talk to Li Qi: "Brother, why are you just listening but not talking? Which world are you from? You look so orthodox."

So orthodox, this standard of evaluation is actually based on ‘the world’.

Many humanoid races, or races that are not so humanoid, generally regard the creatures closer to the world as the so-called "orthodox".

Of course, they also have their own sense of belonging, but...after all, the world is indeed too high and out of reach for them. Except for those worlds of third level and above, everyone else basically still recognizes this difference.

But this orthodox term is not that serious, and there is no real distinction between high and low. It is probably similar to an adjective like "foreign style".

You look so stylish and dress so stylishly. You don't look like a local, but more like a celestial country on the other side of the ocean, or a cosmic lighthouse. Naturally, you look more upscale.

In fact, what is high-end is not you as a person, but the way you dress, and the collective advantages brought by your skin color and race are essentially a kind of colonized mentality.

But there is nothing we can do. The gap is indeed too big, and it is an all-round gap, not just in productivity, but also in terms of spiritual civilization and technology trees.

"Oh, I am from the world." Li Qi handed over his hand and admitted honestly without intending to lie.

This is Li Qi's character. When he was in Baiyue, he didn't change his name when he was wanted by the government. Now there is no danger outside the territory, so naturally he won't hide anything.

As soon as he said this, the surrounding area became quiet.

"Wow, really?" Another voice came, asking proactively, breaking the silence.

"Why are you telling this lie? I did come from the world, but I'm not a big shot, just a nobody. Don't worry about me." Li Qi waved his hand.

However, the reactions of these people were not like the fear, panic, or restraint that Li Qi expected.

In fact, they immediately surrounded us!

"Wow, buddy, are you interested in taking a look at this thing?"

"Look at me, look at me!"

In an instant, they placed many things in front of Li Qi and competed for quotations.

And, the price is surprisingly cheap.

It's like you go shopping in Southeast Asia with a red ticket.

It seems that for these people, the people in the world are not objects to be feared, but... taken advantage of?

Anyway, Li Qi felt that they seemed to have taken him for granted.

And...he felt, as if, indeed...it could be bought.

It's so cheap. Compared with the prices in the world, many of the gadgets here are simply ridiculously cheap. Li Qi can see that although the overall strength of these things is not high, they all have their own ingenuity.

For example, the product of the recent aquatic race is a set of illusion orbs. Of course, they are not as good as the mirage beads in the world, but the price is really ridiculously low. The most important thing is that the way this set of orbs realize illusion is very of novelty.

The world uses 'Qi' to create illusions. For example, the illusion of a mirage bead is transformed by the mirage Qi in it. The illusion of the Demon Prince is caused by his demonic Qi affecting the senses and then manifesting.

The realization principle of this set of illusion orbs is completely different. It is through another set of special techniques. The scarf is tied into a rabbit, and the grass is tied into a horse. They have no real entity, but they come into being by chance, like stars and lanterns. It means impermanence, so the body is like an illusion.

In human terms, this is a set of tricks that achieve the effect of illusion by deceiving the 'laws'. Through a set of techniques that Li Qi doesn't quite understand, the world itself is deceived, so the corresponding 'reality' is produced. But this kind of deception is not stable and will break when touched. But before it is touched, it is real and almost indistinguishable!

Of course, this method cannot be used in the world. The world's Tao is really solid and strict. It is almost impossible to deceive the world's Tao.

But outside the territory, it works really well.

Completely different ecology and different environments have created different spells, many of which are quite creative. In addition to this set of orbs that deceive the world, there are also martial arts-like spirits that can refine energy beads through eating. There are A pet made of exquisite pure mechanical structure.

Really, the moment he saw it, Li Qi felt that his heart as a man was touched.

So cool, a real automatic mechanism completed by a pure mechanical mechanism. There is no electronic technology, no magic, and no soul to be sealed. It relies entirely on exquisite mechanical parts, those gears, knobs, threads, and a small The semi-permanent power supply core can realize following, flying, recording and other functions.

So... Li Qi, the one who had been taken advantage of, finally paid.

It's actually quite cheap, isn't it? Much cheaper than in the world.

It seems that these people think that everyone in the world is stupid and has too much money, but isn't it good to spend a little money to buy some happiness?

Li Qi got a bunch of useless little toys. This group of people seemed to know that their killing weapons and offensive and defensive magic weapons would not be attractive to Li Qi at all, so most of them were toys. All very ingenious.

It can be seen that these people have some skills in dealing with people from all over the world.

However, Li Qi noticed that these toys seemed to be luxuries to them. In fact, they were not cheap, but they seemed quite cheap to him.

Similar to... Southeast Asia, jadeite costs two thousand yuan.

For Li Qi, two thousand yuan is nothing, just buy it for fun.

But for them, maybe it’s a year’s income.

The diversity of the world is revealed in these places.

While admiring the many wonderful ideas, they paid and the team moved forward smoothly. After a while, Li Qi was at the front of the team and arrived at the checkpoint.

The flow of people here is divided into hundreds, which means there are hundreds of diversion checkpoints, and here, he saw the same inspection equipment of Dongyu.

"Taoze reader, um... spiritual Tao?" Li Qi asked the inspector in surprise.

"Huh? From heaven?" The inspector looked up and was also shocked.

However, what really surprised the examiner was that Li Qi also scanned him in the same way.

"Comrade?" The inspector's expression looked surprised and happy.

Li Qi understood what the other party's expression was about.

Pure spiritual path will almost never appear in the outside world. They have almost no need for such things as 'mind cultivation' or 'experience', and think it is a waste of time.

A true spiritual practitioner can even be completely ignorant of the outside world, but at the same time master all the rules of the outside world.

This is related to their philosophy. In their view, crazy learning and understanding in the outside world is actually just stupid work, and stupid people have to do this.

The essence of so-called experience is just to observe and record various phenomena that have occurred, and then put these phenomena together to deduce the underlying principles that may exist. If there are many such examples, your own orthodoxy will become very profound. look.

But these are all superficial.

But in spiritual Tao, you only need to use your own wisdom to calculate a set of a priori rules without leaving home, and then the movement and changes of all things can be deduced through these a priori rules. This is the real 'Tao', this is the real Tao. It is the most superior orthodoxy.

Wu Jin and Li Dao, to explain all things, you need to cite 10,000 examples and prove the Tao through 10,000 examples. But to explain all things, spiritual Tao, a piece of paper with this set of transcendental rules written on it is enough. Take this Everything in the world can be derived from paper.

They like to deduce a set of "a priori rules" in their own minds. This set of rules is an objective, universal, and universal rule. It is the real "Tao" and cannot be summarized by other stupid methods. Out comes the rule of thumb.

A priori rules and empirical rules are, in their eyes, smart methods and stupid methods.

Therefore, spiritual practitioners rarely like to walk outside. Even if they have to walk outside, it is mostly to verify whether the a priori rules they have thought up are consistent with the existence of the objective world.

But there are always exceptions. Spiritual Dao is also divided into two groups. Some spiritual Dao practitioners may be stupid. They can't sum up this rule, so they can only come to the outside world and use stupid methods.

There are also some smart people who admit that there is a set of a priori rules, but they cannot be obtained from thinking in the mind, but should be combined with practice to use them. These people are the rare spiritual practitioners who walk in the outside world. .

The spiritual ways that appear in the outside world are all of this kind, and they can all be called "common ways", which is why the inspector is so happy.

Although I don’t know how he ended up living outside the territory, he should be very happy to meet his fellow travelers, right?

Unfortunately, I am not a spiritual practitioner.

But I'm still lucky. Since I'm a member of the world, it should be easier to communicate without wasting time explaining the talisman.

So, Li Qi said: "Brother, I admit my mistake. I am not a spiritual practitioner. By the way, please inform the Realm Master and tell him that the envoy from Wushen Mountain is visiting."

As he spoke, he took out the talisman.
