Myriad Paths

Li Qi is a heretic, Shen Shuibi has known this for a long time.

But she doesn't care. After all, heretics are heretics, and it's not a sin not to be born in the world.

She stood here and looked around.

To her left was the playground, where several little boys were chasing and playing.

The sky is blue and blue, not very transparent, and there still seems to be some smoke and dust. It should be the thick fog in the industrial area, but it does not affect the view of the scenery.

Big clouds piled up in the sky, outlining the horizon outside the school in an extremely broad way. The wind blew from far away and was not covered with dust. The leaves were shaking, mixed with the distant sounds of playing ball on the playground. in the sound.

Comfortable silence.

This is Li Qi's 'state of mind', the most comfortable place in his memory.

In other words, Li Qi can feel most relaxed and comfortable in this situation. Every practitioner will have such a memory, such as Shen Shuibi. Her scene is in the former cave of Luofu Mountain.

This is the place where they feel most secure. Generally speaking, it is their hometown when they were young. After all, it is instinct to be attached to the place of birth.

However, there are also some people who have nothing good to say about their hometown. In such a state of mind, they will find other places they like.

And if there is no such safe state of mind, this person is likely to be suspicious, irritable, insecure, and wary of the external environment.

In other words, this is the 'root', the place where the true spirit rests. With this, no matter where you are, you will feel less anxious and uneasy.

"This is... a peaceful world." Shen Shuibi sighed.

Most of the world outside the territory...is not peaceful.

Therefore, it is really great that Li Qineng lives in a peaceful world.

In this state of mind, Shen Shuibi found a chair next to him and sat down.

Sitting on a chair, under the warm sunshine.

After a while, another person sat next to Shen Shuibi.

"Are you awake?" Shen Shuibi turned to look at the person sitting down.

Surprisingly it was Li Qi.

And it was... Li Qi who was dressed quite strangely.

Shen Shuibi is now wearing a blue and white dress, which is dignified and elegant, with an antique style. However, the only thing that seems not so elegant is that her hairpin has been pulled out, and her hair is now disheveled.

Loose hair is very unsightly. Except in the boudoir, only some crazy people or unscrupulous people would do it. For Shen Shuibi, who has always been conservatively dressed, her loose posture can only exist in the former case. .

Li Qi, on the other hand, has short hair and wears a T-shirt and jeans, which looks a bit weird when paired with the ancient-style Shen Shuibi.

"No, but I'm about to wake up." Li Qize said: "It's really strange. There is no treatment, but you are here, but I am about to wake up."

"It's easy to not wake up if you are immersed in your own world. After I came here, I made it clear that this place is fake. Naturally, you will wake up soon." Shen Shuibi said with a smile: "What, don't you want to wake up?"

"It's not that I don't want to... It's just that I miss it a little. I thought I had forgotten this place. I didn't expect that after I fell into coma, my mood was still here." Li Qi looked at his hand, and then took out a mobile phone.

Click on the screen to see a familiar screensaver.

"You look so ugly now, like a monk. I see that those monks who have returned to secular life have the same hairstyle as you. By the way, what is this?" Rabbit tilted his head and leaned over Li Qi. , looking at his phone screen saver.

"This thing is similar to a humane terminal, but its performance and versatility are far behind." Li Qi weighed the phone and then touched his head.

How can I put it, short hair is really not good, and he is already used to wearing long hair, and I have to say it is still very elegant.

"Then who is she?" Shen Shuibi pointed at the person on the screen saver.

"Oh... this is a star, similar to the Flower Goddess of Chang'an. It is the kind of profession that shows beauty and talent to get more people to like it." Li Qi explained.

"So... you like it too?" Rabbit looked at Li Qi.

"Ahem, it all happened when I was young. I had not yet come to the world at that time." Li Qi coughed twice and turned off the screen saver.

Anyway, this is his state of mind, and the phone is actually his memory. He knows exactly what is in it, and he only takes it out to remember it.

"I'll explain it when I wake up." Rabbit said, his figure gradually fading away.

It's almost time, she should leave, otherwise, as Li Qi wakes up, this place will gradually disappear, but she won't be able to leave.

She didn't tell Li Qi how difficult it was for her before. There was no need. As long as he could wake up, that would be the best.

And Li Qi also got up from here.

He breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Shen Shuibi was well-informed and didn't feel strange about this world. After all, there were too many worlds outside the territory, and there was nothing strange about them.

Even mythological stories are like this, because... the stories of the world themselves are spread far and wide. Stories about the nine places in the world, the original god, and the ancient times are spread in many worlds.

"Then it's time to wake up." Li Qi stood up, and the memory world around him collapsed.

He was a little nostalgic, but he didn't hesitate.

Although the world in his memories is very beautiful, he does not need to escape from reality. The real world is a beauty that needs to be protected even more. His wife and daughter are outside, and the war between humans and witches is an unavoidable responsibility.

Only a coward would hide deep in his memory and seek a sense of security, but Li Qi's Taoist heart was enough for him to face all difficulties calmly.

Thinking this, Li Qi opened his eyes——

"Cough cough cough cough cough!" He just opened his eyes and was about to say a few nice words when he suddenly felt severe pain and weakness. His lungs were filled with miscellaneous gas, which made him cough.

He had an unbearable headache and severe pain all over his body. The organ failure caused by the death of the god in his body left him at a loss. His physical body was almost completely exhausted, the inner world was in turmoil, and his cultivation was almost gone.

"Ahem... I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight with people like this." Li Qi reluctantly supported his body to sit up, and then activated his Yuan Shen, using his Yuan Shen to take over all the work of other gods in his body.

In addition to the most useless function of summoning the gods to fight, the other main ability of the gods in the body is to regulate the inner world and the earth. As Li Qi's manifestation of the great road, they can help Li Qi automatically balance the inner world and the earth at the normal level. status.

Just like a healthy person, blood pH, blood sugar, blood lipids, uric acid and other indicators are all normal and will not affect the body. And you don't need to care about it. Don't ignore your body. It will adjust itself anyway. It will be hot. Sweating, shivering and producing heat when cold, everything goes as it should.

But now that the spirit in his body is gone, Li Qi's huge and heavy inner world has become a burden. The energy required to maintain this terrible system is amazing.

Why do some people self-destruct due to excessive cultivation?

It was because they could not support so many cultivations and the existence of this level of orderly and low-entropy system that they broke out into riots and exploded.

The difference between a hydrogen bomb and a nuclear power plant lies in the word "controllable". There is a big gap between controllable nuclear fusion and pure nuclear fusion. If you can't control it, it's a hydrogen bomb. If you can control it, it's endless energy.

And the same is true for Li Qi now. His inner world is very powerful, but the stronger it becomes, the more it needs to be sorted out.

If the spirit in the body is gone, then the soul can only take care of these things...

All the conditioning pressure comes to Yuanshen...

This gave Li Qi a headache.

With Yuan Shen's condition, it's pretty good to be able to stay 'alive', but it's impossible to do anything about it.

However, after seeing Li Qi wake up, Shen Shuibi handed over a pillow and placed it on his back so that he could sit more comfortably on the bed.

Immediately, Rabbit said: "Now you are in a very troublesome situation. Your cultivation is in turmoil. The inner world is almost unusable. It is all supported by the soul. My acupuncture can only help you with temporary relief. I am afraid that it will not be able to heal you in a short time." Take action."

"It can be seen that I am prepared, but don't worry, Qiu Zhi probably won't be able to move." Li Qi said with a smile.

However, Shen Shuibi looked at Li Qi who woke up, feeling a little worried. She said, "You still have to make some preparations. Just wait."

After saying this, she took out the alchemy furnace again and started refining the elixir.

Li Qi watched her working, then looked at the medicinal materials, and suddenly understood.

As mentioned before, when the organs are not failing, indicators such as blood pH, blood sugar, blood lipids, and uric acid are all normal and will not change casually.

But now that the spirit in Li Qi's body has dissipated and his organs have failed, he can only rely on his soul to barely maintain it. When placed on an ordinary person, that is, he relies on manual operations to control his heartbeat and hormone secretion.

This will greatly occupy his thinking ability. If he moves even a little, his various organs will become disordered, his inner world will be disordered, and he will lose his ability to fight.

But...if you take medication to control your hormones, it's different.

If you take hypoglycemic medicine beforehand, you can ignore your blood sugar for a short period of time because the medicine is helping you control it.

What Shen Shuibi is currently refining is a pill corresponding to every out-of-control energy in Li Qi's body.

About four hours passed before she started dispensing the medicine.

Taking out a small jade bottle, she filled it with about four hundred different elixirs. Each one had a different effect. It could suppress a certain condition in Li Qi's body, and could also work together to make the medicine more effective. Increase.

Just this method of dispensing the right medicine and combining the drugs to take effect has already demonstrated Shen Shuibi's profound pharmacological skills. She is indeed an alchemist who can sell a sixth-level world with just one pill.

Then she filled another bottle, making two bottles in total.

She put two bottles of medicine in Li Qi's hand and said: "One bottle at a time, remember to finish it in one bite, and then use a silver needle to seal the four major acupoints of Fengfu, Silence, and Tianding. They should be able to regulate your health." The body can temporarily suppress the riot, allowing you to temporarily restore 10% to 20% of your combat power."

"I don't have enough medicinal materials here. I only made two bottles. Use them sparingly. At least they won't be counterattacked by those kings."

Shen Shuibi said this. It was obvious that she could not trust those leaders of Baiyue Kingdom.

"Okay, I understand." Li Qi nodded, put the two bottles of medicine into his pocket, and then stood up with barely enough support.

Shen Shuibi supported him and walked out of the palace into the clouds.

Shen Shuibi's thoughts moved slightly, and the clouds became solid.

This is the 'Soaring Cloud' technique, which is one of the more basic Taoist techniques. It has two forms, one is to turn the clouds into ones that can be stepped on, and the other is to make the clouds light enough to be blown by the wind. Walking form.

The former is used now.

Walking up to the clouds, white clouds were floating, and below was the stretching forest. In the forest, the monsters had changed.

The timid ones have already moved their families and run away.

Those who stay are those who hope that the majestic palace in front of them can bring great opportunities.

Li Qi just glanced at it and said without paying much attention, "Let's go, let's go to the front line to have a look."

Shen Shuibi nodded, and the two of them began to speed up.

As Li Qi said before.

When you can see the palace, it doesn't mean that you are half closer to the emperor.

Even if the monsters below move here, the distance between them and Li Qi will not change at all.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi accelerated, and after a while, they arrived at the front line.

It's just... something's slightly wrong.

Li Qi frowned: "No... this shouldn't be the front line."

Shen Shuibi nodded: "There is something wrong. The front line should be Songguo, but... where is Songguo?"

When this question was asked, the two people looked at each other.

Couldn't it be... lost? How long has it been?

In front of them was a silent land with no traces of magic, but at the same time there were no signs of life. All the trees and plants seemed alive, but in fact they were dead.

In the same way, there are no living things in various mountain water veins, no fish, no shrimps, no birds and beasts, not even bacteria and mushrooms.

"It looks like... all the earth spirits are dead." Li Qi took a look and judged.

After the earth spirit dies, everything on it will die. This trick has already been used on Li, but... if it appears here...

Could it be that Qiu Zhi's injury wasn't that serious?

No way! ?

When Li Qi was surprised, Shen Shuibi, who was next to him, quickly pulled out a row of spells and fired them forward. He saw countless light spots turning into a flow of information, which instantly entered the minds of many kings.

A large communication network was immediately established with Shen Shuibi as the core.

At this time, a burst of noisy sounds suddenly came out, just like a vegetable market, with a bunch of people talking to themselves.

However, although Li Qi was injured, his mind was still clear and he could still clearly distinguish the voices of each country leader.

They are shirking responsibility, blaming each other, and hoping that Li Qi will punish each other severely.

This made Li Qi take a deep breath.

He never expected that these kings would still be fighting among themselves at this juncture.

Following the self-evident words of these people, Li Qi leaned forward.

Shen Shuibi frowned slightly when he saw this, took out the silver needle, and swished it a few times to calm his current turbulent mentality.

At this time, Li Qi also deduced the reason behind it.

"Lingxiao Flower God..." Li Qi read out four words.
