Myriad Paths

Li Qi and Zhang Zong were facing Xiang Liu, the ancient land creature.

These nine-headed serpents coiled around their bodies and exhaled poisonous gas.

The poisonous gas spreads thousands of miles, and the wheat fails to grow, the leaves wither and turn yellow, the grass does not sprout, and the turnips have no roots.

There are countless yellow miasma biting souls in nightmares. Hungry apes are not allowed to eat, and morning birds dare not fly. The miasma is extremely bad, and there are things in the air that cannot be seen in form. They make gurgling sounds, like poisonous soup, stifling heat, steaming.

However, these are nothing to Li Qi and Zhang Zong, they are just a bit of a pain to the lives within more than 10,000 miles around them.

Fortunately, on the Shinto side, there are very few real mortal beings, and most of them are those who have the qualifications to become gods, or are already at the seventh level. So, although Xiang Liu's breath is a bit dangerous, it can still be regarded as theirs. Opportunity.

If you can get something from it, it will benefit you throughout your life.

Moreover, it was also the territory of the Xiangliu clan next to them, which was a great benefit to them, so Li Qi did not ask the other party to stop breathing.

This was just a gasp. If Xiang Liu was to be bled according to the legend... no wonder every place where the blood touched had to be dug out and couldn't be left behind.

This is really...

"So, besides combat power, what else can you improve me?" Li Qi said.

"It's very simple. Today's Shinto is an ally of Wu Dao, right? Haotian has always had a good attitude towards you Wu Dao." Xiang Liu mentioned.

This is a fact.

Haotian is gentle to all living beings.

Although Wu Jin is not necessarily gentle, in the final analysis, Wu Jin also hopes that all living beings will exist. Wu Jin likes a more diverse universe. This attitude coincides with Haotian.

Therefore, Haotian has a good relationship with the wizards and gods, and the relationship between Wu Dao and Shinto is also okay.

Including the spiritual path, the demon path, the Buddha, and the Taoist sects. Although they do not coincide with each other, they do not conflict with each other.

In contrast, the human realm and the demonic realm actually do things that Haotian does not want to see, so that there is often a gap between the gods and the human realm. Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva is a typical example.

"However, Haotian also has things to do, especially many things that need to be discussed with 'Tai Yi'. The Xingguan lineage and some of the land are actually not so peaceful, are they?" Xiang Liu said.

"You don't understand the outside world, but you seem to know the inside of Shinto very well." Li Qi suddenly pointed out something.

Xiang Liu admitted frankly: "The reason I don't understand the outside is because Xiang Liu's family does not have other three grades. I can only understand the outside through Xiang Liu's. Without three grades, I cannot see the truth. This is no different from a blind man."

"However, the Xiangliu family is still of the Earth lineage after all, and I'm not really dead, so I can still understand a little bit about the internal affairs of the Shinto."

Li Qi nodded to express his understanding.

Without the third rank, there is no way to know many things. Xiang Liu can only rely on the people of the Xiang Liu family, such as Shen Yijun, to understand the outside world, so it is indeed impossible to know many things.

It’s just... it sounds like the Xiangliu clan is still connected to the high-level gods. Is it within the Earth lineage? The Xiangliu family is an earthly one. Could it be said that the earthly lineage is the one that wants to destroy mortals?

No, Li Qi is a Zhuren of the Earthly lineage. Many of the Earthly beings he has come into contact with are quite easy to talk to. Compared with the gods who are superior, the Earthly beings are usually closer to mortals and have better relationships.

We often hear of gods sacrificing themselves for mortals. Most of these gods are earth creatures, local gods of mountains and rivers.

There are really few people like Xiang Liu who are earthly creatures but want to destroy mortals.

"So, if you will unblock Haotian, it will be much easier. This should be more valuable than combat power, right?" Xiang Liu said.

But Li Qi raised his eyebrows and made an incredulous sound: "Just you?"

That's right, Li Qi was rude.

just you?

You are no more than a third-grade Xiangliu, why? If unsealing a third-level one can make the Shinto lineage give up the pressure on Haotian, then you are taking yourself too seriously.

To be honest, is it really that important to the entire Shinto whether Xiang Liu dies or not? The third level sounds powerful, but it also needs to be compared. In the confrontation between the two divine forces, Haotian's lineage and Miemen Mortal's lineage, Xiang Liu is definitely not a big force.

"Do you know who the leaders of our lineage are?" Xiang Liu asked.

Of course Li Qi shook his head, where did he know where to go? This is the secret of Shinto.

Of course Xiang Liu had expected this answer, so he immediately replied: "Di Huan Chaos, Gong Gong, Di Jun."

Li Qi took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

Although I was prepared, this answer was really impactful.

However, now that the three names have appeared, there is no need to say more about the rest. Li Qi has completely understood what Xiang Liu wanted to say.

The first thing I want to talk about is Emperor Chaos, the central emperor among the emperors.

As the Emperor of the Central Government, one can imagine with just this name that he is competing with Taiyi and Huanglong for food and food, about the ‘Central’.

However, what can be seen with the naked eye is that Emperor Chaos has never been able to compete, and it should be in the stage of losing power now.

Emperor Chaos... Also, are the Chaos among the four evils equivalent? I have heard it before, and the Four Evils seem to be supporters of this lineage.

And there is Di Jun.

Does Di Jun support the destruction of mortals? Li Qike had never heard of going back, but if you look carefully... it seems to be quite normal.

Emperor Jun had a descendant, the Ten Suns, which were ten golden crows.

The ten suns hung high in the sky, burning crops, killing plants and trees, and leaving the people with nothing to eat.

Like the floods caused by Gonggong, Emperor Jun also caused droughts for his descendants, all in order to destroy the mortals.

Later, Emperor Yao took action and ordered Yi to shoot them, causing nine of the ten suns to fall and quelling the drought.

And it didn't stop there. At that time, there were also monsters such as Yali, Zaochi, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushe who were ready to destroy the mortals. I think they were the same as Xiangliu.

But they were all shot by Emperor Yao and Yi, preventing the destruction from happening.

So, Emperor Yao supported the mortals, and Emperor Jun wanted to destroy the mortals... Then, there is no need to say more about Gonggong's lineage.

Floods, droughts, and... the man-eating beast Hun Dun and his cronies... Are these the forces that want to exterminate the mortals?

So, according to Li Qi's idea, if Emperor Hundun goes to fight for the position of 'Central' at this time, can he help Haotian? After all, the fight between Taiyi and Huanglong does not seem so peaceful. Will Emperor Hundun be beaten to death if he goes in?

However, from another perspective, this may be a variable. Taiyi and Huanglong may start to be wary of each other because of the emergence of variables.

When two tigers fight, one must be injured, but if there is a jackal watching next to them, then the two tigers may give up the fight.

As we all know, the most stable shape is a triangle. If Emperor Hundun joins in, Taiyi and Huanglong may really stop fighting, because if they start at this time, what if they are besieged?

Moreover, Xiangliu is Gonggong's subordinate, and Li Qi is Gonggong's nephew.

So, is rescuing Xiangliu a kind of goodwill from Zhurong's lineage to Gonggong's lineage? Is this a sign of a happy reconciliation between the two sides?

Emperor Jun, Emperor Yao...

Gonggong, Zhurong...

Emperor Hundun, Huanglong, Taiyi...

Li Qi felt that his head was beginning to hurt. He always felt that the involvement was too great and he was afraid that it would be difficult to make a decision.

If he helped Xiangliu and got the opportunity to ease the relationship between Xiangliu and Gonggong, and let the gods who wanted to destroy the mortals... call them evil gods.

If the evil gods were willing to help the witches, what was their reason? It could not be because of Xiangliu, nor could it be because of the relationship between Li Qi and Zhurong.

At this level, everything must be related to the "Tao". They must have a practical goal and cognition to form the Tao.

People of the second and third ranks cannot be bound by interests. Interests can only drive mortals. For these evil gods, common goals and visions are the key to cooperation and action.

Then, this matter must be related to "destroying mortals".

Can cooperating with witches and liberating Xiangliu help "destroying mortals"?

Li Qi's thoughts were spinning, and many clues were rolling in his mind.

Xiangliu did not speak either. He could see that Li Qi was thinking.

For a third-rank person, the words just now were enough. I think Li Qi could guess what was going on behind the scenes. He just needed to wait for the answer.

Li Qi was in deep thought.

However, at this time, Zhang Zong suddenly appeared behind Li Qi and patted Li Qi on the shoulder.

Li Qi turned around and glanced at Zhang Zong.

Zhang Zong immediately said, "Do you think it has anything to do with the Taoist sect?"

This sentence made Li Qi frown even tighter.

It was numb. If he joined the Taoist sect, it would make things more complicated. However, he did not know much about the Taoist sect, so he looked at Zhang Zong and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Zhang Zong replied, "The Taoist sect is not interested in participating in the internal disputes of the gods. The reason we are here is because some of the actions of the Xianshi sect involve too much, and we must stop them, otherwise the entire Taoist sect will be dragged onto the chariot of humanity, which Penglai does not want to see."

This statement obviously revealed another secret.

The Xianshi Sect, they have gone too far in the human way, so that they may even drag the entire Dao sect into it. Before that, the Yinshi Sect needs to stop the Xianshi Sect from taking further actions.

The Yinshi Sect is just like Shen Shuibi. This group of salted fish is not willing to participate in any form of struggle. They just want to seek Taoism and cultivate immortality by themselves, and no one should disturb me.

However, when the peace is disturbed, they don’t mind taking action.

So, the question is.

What did the Xianshi Sect do to force the Yinshi Sect to join the war? Is it something necessary?

Li Qi didn’t know, he was waiting for Zhang Zong’s answer.

And Zhang Zong said: "The Taiyin Star Lord is Chang Xi, do you know him?"

Li Qi nodded, Chang Xi, the great witch, of course he knew him, and he even drank his wine.

"She is not only the Taiyin Star Lord, she also has a half body which is Xihe. Her husband... is Dijun. It is she and Dijun who gave birth to the ten suns and twelve moons together."

The ten suns and twelve moons are all descendants of Dijun, and they are all born by the power of Dijun and Xihe... Changxi. Changxi is the moon god, and Xihe is the sun god.

"Wait, you said half body?" Li Qi keenly realized what Zhang Zong meant.

Lady Luofu once held a banquet with Changxi! *(See Chapter 701 for details)

The heel of Luofu Mountain lies in the Tao of Yin and Yang. The so-called "Luoshan" and "Fushan" combine to form Luofu Mountain. This is the combination of the two mountains of Yin and Yang. At the same time, the opportunity found by the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron is also the "Sun and Moon Journey".

The essence of the journey of the sun and the moon is movement, and Chenji is the fundamental core.

Does this have anything to do with ‘Xihe’?

Chang Xi and Xi He were once one and the same, but are they not one now?

Zhang Zong nodded: "Yes, Chang Xi and Xihe were separated. Her original name was 'Xi'. The record is: Xi, the person who created the calendar, admired the sky like the sky, and the calendar resembled the sun, moon and stars, and taught it to people." hour."

"Do you understand now?"

Li Qi's eyes were shaking, he really understood now.

That is to say...

Luofushan now joins the witchcraft and fights against humanity with Wu Jin.

The god named Xi was split apart for some reason and turned into two goddesses, Chang Xi and Xihe.

And Xi is Di Jun’s wife.

Di Jun... I just thought about Di Jun's role in unblocking Xiang Liu——

Damn, there are too many characters, the relationships are too complicated, and there are too many things involved. Li Qi’s brain is about to explode.

If there were so many relationships between mortals, that would be okay.

But when it comes to powerful people, behind each powerful person is a network of relationships, involving too many things. One powerful person can even affect many channels, and different channels will have different reactions. The people below, the involved world, the collision of many ideas, the choices of different people...

Tsk.

So, Li Qi gave up thinking alone and gestured to Zhang Zong, asking him to say a few words.

Zhang Zong did not irresponsibly ask Li Qi to think for himself, but said: "Personally speaking, I think Di Jun actually doesn't mind taking the Riyue Xinglu and giving it to 'Xi'. Xi can also use it.”

"So Luofu Mountain is related to Chang Xi? Is it because Luofu Mountain also wants to borrow power?" Li Qi guessed.

If Luofu Mountain wants to borrow the power of the gods, it is not impossible. They do not necessarily have to put their treasure on Wushen Mountain. Although it is a certainty that the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron will lose the Sun and Moon Walk, who will give this thing to? There is no definite number yet.

Zhang Zongze said: "I can't say, but as far as Xi is concerned, she has been separated now. Maybe she doesn't need to get the sun and moon travel directly. Is it enough to just let her see her once? Maybe, I can let her What about reorganization? The combination of yin and yang is the fundamental method of Luofu Mountain, isn’t it? Isn’t that what the essence of the sun and moon around you is like?”

Zhang Zong's answer made Li Qi lower his head and ponder.

What Zhang Zong said is not unreasonable.

If he did this, Di Jun... would be very willing to take action, right?
