Myriad Paths

Li Qi, who was worried about Zhu Fengdan, came to Zhu Fengdan. Unexpectedly, after being educated about what happened to him, he waved him away.

This made Li Qi smile bitterly, with a slightly helpless look on his face.

There's nothing I can do, it seems like I really can't help.

However, Li Qi is not like Li Shiwei, who thinks there is something wrong with him because he can't help, so he takes things as pressure on himself.

If he really wanted to do this, he would have gone crazy a long time ago. Imagine that from when Li Qi was young, when he was still not a good grade, to now, although Zhu Fengdan seems not to care about anything, just think about Li Qi What kind of monsters and monsters we encounter, you know how much Zhu Fengdan has contributed to them.

It can be said that everything Li Qi encountered was watched by the teacher, otherwise it would be impossible for him to grow up steadily until now.

And now, he has learned some things about the nature of the third grade from the injured Zhu Fengdan, so he can't say that this trip was not in vain.

However, he was not ready to leave just like that. Instead, he sat down and said, "Teacher, you can leave at any time. But before you leave, can you tell me how you and Humanity ended up like this?"

"How did it end up like this? Didn't I do it in front of you?" Zhu Fengdan seemed reluctant to say.

"Do you think I could see clearly at that time?" Li Qi sighed: "If you tell me, I might be able to call you back."

"Is this true?" Zhu Fengdan immediately became energetic and jumped up from the dying look of illness just now.

"Hey, do you really want me to go to the General of Zhennan Mansion for a duel? That's a double or third-level one. What if I die outside?" Li Qi immediately used his spell and pressed down Zhu Fengdan who had jumped up. .

"What does it have to do with me if you go find your own death?" Zhu Fengdan returned to his half-dead state again, lying on his elderly rocking chair and turning into a corpse.

"Oh, you are obviously very concerned about me. You have done so many things behind your back. Why do you act like this in front of her? This is not flattering. By the way, where is my wife?" Li Qi looked around.

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, he saw Fu Dou suddenly appearing outside the cave.

"You are very good at talking, haha! I like you like this, unlike your master who looks like a dead person." Fu Dou walked in happily.

Sure enough, Li Qi knew that although he did not search here, nor did he use his true knowledge, it was the master's cave after all, and respect was still necessary, but he knew with his brain...

Zhu Fengdan disappeared because after the battle in Baiyue, he was facing off against General Zhennan Mansion, and both sides suffered losses.

So, it was absolutely impossible for Fu Dou, who was by his side at that time, to stand by and watch. It was natural for her to be by his side while Zhu Fengdan was recovering from his injuries.

However, it was also because Li Qi was here, so she avoided going out for the time being.

Well... even though Fu Dou is said to be a disaster beast, she is surprisingly polite when it comes to matters related to Zhu Fengdan.

It seemed that he noticed that Li Qi stood up and saluted Fu Dou, so Zhu Fengdan's body moved a little and stared at Li Qi blankly.

That look seemed to say: "If you and Hu Dou continue to be here, I will die for you."

Li Qi could only sigh.

Why bother.

As long as you, teacher, pretend that you are deceiving Fu Dou, and Fu Dou pretends that you have deceived him, and everyone can be happy once you know the right amount, wouldn't that be great?

Why should you reject people thousands of miles away?

However, this kind of thing is not something that Li Qi can comment on. Beware of Zhu Fengdan jumping up and expelling him from the school.

Therefore, after Li Qi saluted Fu Dou, he said: "Senior Fu Dou, let's not disturb the teacher's rest and go outside to talk."

"You just called me Master Wife." Fu Dou was a little dissatisfied.

"Haha, it doesn't count if I shout. Whether things can come true depends on the teacher's wishes." Li Qi smiled and fooled him, and then made a gesture to invite Fu Dou to leave the cave.

Fu Dou glanced at Zhu Fengdan who had turned into a corpse——

It's really a corpse. Zhu Fengdan's body is now in a 'dead' state. If it is handed over to the Fifth-Rank World for an autopsy, they will find that this is undoubtedly a dead person.

Zhu Fengdan's 'pretending to be dead' is literally 'pretending to be dead', a death without any flaws.

"Oh, forget it, I really don't know how I could fall in love with someone like you. Let's go, little apprentice." Fu Dou held his forehead, sighed, and walked towards the door.

"Haha... Although the teacher looks very ugly now, he must have been very charming back then." Li Qi said as he followed Fu Dou.

These words made a pair of ears suddenly appear on Fu Dou's head, and then the pair of dark red animal ears moved.

She turned her head happily: "Well, boy, you understand very well."

"For now, my wife and daughter are very cute, so I can understand a little bit." Li Qi replied with a smile.

Hu Dou nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed... you are a senior in this aspect."

As they spoke, the two people walked out of the cave and came to the outside world.

At this time, Zhu Fengdan's corpse in the cave suddenly opened his eyes, his expression slightly indescribable.

In his mind, he suddenly recalled his experiences many years ago.

At that time, he was very high-spirited. As a famous genius in the nine places in the world, as the third son of Zhu Rong, he would often drive Zhu Rong's chariot.

In layman's terms, as a young genius, he liked to go out racing in his father's luxury car.

Unlike his elder brother who was calm and fond of music, and his second brother who had a bad relationship with his father and was away from home all year round, he was quite favored by his elders at that time, just like Li Qi.

But unlike Li Qi, Fengdan was a very flamboyant person. Li Qi was a man of low profile, paying attention to his etiquette everywhere, not wanting to make enemies, and respecting mortals.

But Zhu Fengdan was completely different. He completely inherited the arrogance of the gods. He often drove his chariot across the universe. Where he passed, the clouds were as bright as day. There were eight hundred tribes around him, all singing in unison, spewing clouds and smoke. Where the wheels rolled over, strange fire would be born, accompanied by the sound of thunder, and they would turn into rhinoceroses, elephants, lions, dragons, snakes, dogs, horses, or tigers and rhinoceroses, and infinite worlds would be born in their mouths, and gods and monsters would appear suddenly, which was extremely gorgeous.

At that time, the places he drove past would even become "outside wonders".

After all, it was Zhu Rong's vehicle.

At that time, Zhu Fengdan, who was too proud of himself, noticed a wild dog that always followed the frame.

When Zhu Rong's wheels passed, thunder and fire would burst out from the wheels and fill the sky.

The poor wild dog followed carefully behind, swallowing the thunder and fire into his mouth to fill his stomach. Although he ate happily, he would hide his head carefully from time to time, fearing that he would be seen by the gods on the frame.

But he was still discovered by Zhu Fengdan.

So, he stopped the frame and walked towards the red-haired wild dog who was scared and curled up in a ball because he found himself exposed...

"Tsk." Zhu Fengdan waved his hand to dispel the memories of the past.

I didn't expect that I would be reduced to the point where I needed a wild dog to take care of my injuries, and I couldn't go out to support my beloved disciple.

It's really embarrassing to be like this today...

——————————

At the foot of the mountain outside the cave, Li Qi walked behind Huodou, chatting with Huodou about the past.

"So, the teacher was very dazzling in the past?"

"You should have heard that those who are polite, dignified, respectable, and loyal are called 'Zhu'." Huodou said.

Li Qi nodded. Of course he knew this. In fact, he was told this before. (See Chapter 219 for details)

Although it may not be very modest, it takes talent to become a Zhuren, and one of the requirements is 'not ugly'.

As a Zhuren, you must at least be handsome. This handsomeness does not necessarily mean appearance, but also temperament, but at least standing in the crowd, you will naturally become the most eye-catching and shining one.

When Li Qi was a boat tracker, he was the most handsome guy in the boat tracker gang.

As for Zhu Fengdan, even now, he looks romantic and unrestrained, although he is a bit unkempt, unkempt, and has thrown all manners away. His reputation is even worse. He steals things, breaks windows, sneaks into doors, picks locks, and robs people. He is a bad person among bad people.

But judging from his appearance, he is definitely a beautiful person, and he is much more handsome than Li Qi.

It is like this now, so what about the past?

"In the past... he was known as the 'rising star that all the heavens compete to see'."

When Zhu Fengdan was still young, he must have been beautiful and talented, and he was born as a god, and he also had an attitude...

He was unrestrained and unworldly, and he was able to speak thousands of words while riding a horse. His talent and magnanimity filled the world, so he was the 'rising star' that all the heavens competed to see what he looked like. '

Although no images have been passed down, Li Qi can imagine that when Zhu Fengdan got serious, he was definitely a heroic and powerful person.

"The heavens are competing to see the rising star..." Li Qi repeated, and then looked back at Zhu Fengdan's cave.

From a supernova that all the heavens and the worlds are paying attention to, to what he is now.

"Don't just look at him, you know? The attention you are receiving now is no less than what he received back then." Huodou said so.

As they spoke, the two walked to a balcony at the foot of the mountain.

Some pedestrians were resting on the balcony, and their cultivation was not low, at least at the eighth level, and they looked like the farmers next to them.

But it was also normal, this was the hinterland of Wushen Mountain, with abundant spiritual energy and extremely active sources of heaven and earth. Even if you just do ordinary physical exercise here, do some push-ups, dig the soil, grow vegetables, etc., it is easy to upgrade to the ninth level.

That's right, the ninth level, the kind that can split mountains and rocks outside the domain, and can travel thousands of miles a day in the world.

You don't even need to do anything, just grow vegetables and eat vegetables every day. Here, your "upper limit" is different, and the power that your muscles can burst out is completely different.

"The attention I'm getting now? To be honest, I don't really feel it. In fact, although it seems that everyone has heard of me, few come to see me." Li Qi sat down, then poured tea and gave a cup to Huotou and the farmers who were resting around.

"How could they find you?" Huotou shook his head and drank the tea in one gulp: "Those who want to know about you almost know it. Sanpin is not a street thug, it's impossible for him to really surround me and chatter."

"That's right." Li Qi said, and filled Huotou's tea again: "But, Senior Huotou, you suddenly told me all this, is there any deep meaning?"

"It's just chatting. How can there be so much meaning in this world." Fu Dou leaned on the balcony: "It's just that I saw Zhu Fengdan's youthful appearance in you, and I was a little moved."

"So you want to talk to me more? Well... This is actually a deep meaning, but it's very strange." Li Qi said with a smile.

"That's right. You, a kid, have encountered too many things. I'm afraid you rarely have the opportunity to talk to people like this." Fu Dou said, "By the way, don't pour tea. I don't like drinking it. It's wet and boring."

"Then eat some of this." Li Qi took out his Smoldering Fire, and then took out some sacred trees.

Regarding sacred trees, Li Qi actually has a lot of collections. Whether it is things like the world tree from outside the territory or the 'big peach trees' in the world, he has collected some. Even overseas where Shentu Yulei lives, and He has some collections of fairy trees in Penglai, which he collected during his daily travels.

In this regard, maybe he is really similar to Zhu Fengdan.

However, Teacher Zhu usually takes it without asking, while Li Qi usually collects or buys it himself.

Li Qi took out the sacred tree and the smoldering fire that symbolized "Fire Virtue", ignited it, and burned it into red charcoal. He blew it with wind and thunder, and then pinched it with magic to make it hang. In the air: "Just treat it as some snacks, please use them."

Li Qi couldn't touch the charcoal with his hands. Even he would be burned. If it was placed on the table instead of hanging in the air, it would probably melt immediately and fall to the center of the earth.

The charcoal of the sacred tree can be lit by a third-grade fire virtue certificate and taken outside the territory, which can change many worlds.

"This is pretty decent." Fu Dou picked up the charcoal with his bare hands and ate it like chewing jelly beans. This kind of thing suited her taste.

The two continued to chat, and the topic basically revolved around Zhu Fengdan and what he was like when he was young.

This conversation lasted for about two-quarters of an hour. It was obvious that Fu Dou would not usually talk to others about this. After all, it seemed inappropriate to talk to other people about this, but it was no problem for Li Qi, so he seemed quite happy.

As the topic progresses——

"Speaking of which, I would like to ask Senior Fu Dou to do me a favor." Li Qi suddenly said.

"Huh? What do you say at this time? What should I say? Do you have any big plans?" Fu Dou swallowed the last charcoal and looked at Li Qi curiously.

"I recently did some things in the Desire Realm and learned a lot about the Demonic Way, but there is one thing I'm curious about."

"As the word 'demon' is often said, why are demons and demons called together? Senior Fudou, as a great demon, should know some reasons, right?"
