Myriad Paths

Li Qi's body is in Chang'an at the moment.

Li Qi, who was in Chang'an, cultivated to the eighth level.

However, for Li Qi, the moment he became the third level, he had already reached the third level in all time and space. He could even let himself go back to the past and completely modify his life.

Although this doesn't make any sense.

This can neither make up for the regret nor make oneself feel better. For the third grade, their life itself is part of the path.

If a third-grade person is willing to compromise on everything, is willing to not interfere in every decision in reality, is willing to bow his head no matter what happens, does not care about his past, and just lies down, then he will definitely Will not die.

As long as you don't fight, you won't die.

Unfortunately, those who can practice to the third level basically have some things that they absolutely cannot make concessions on, and there are even reasons why they must force others to make concessions.

If both sides are unable to make concessions, then they can only decide between life and death.

Therefore, when he first arrived in Chang'an, Zhu Fengdan's horse Dapeng had just left, and Li Qi was standing alone on the street, and a bunch of people had already appeared around him.

"Hey, Li Qi." A smiling old man in plain clothes walked up to Li Qi.

As he arrived, people were standing around him.

About ten or so people.

Li Qi also knew one of the women from all three ranks.

It looks a lot like Yuzao, and it should be the third-grade miscellaneous family member who fought with Li Qi a few days ago.

In other words, those standing here now are all third-grade members of the Miscellaneous Family, right?

"I've met my senior. May I ask who your senior is?" Li Qi bowed his hands and looked at the old man who led him.

From the respect that other people around him showed to him, as well as Li Qi's probing of the other party, he could tell that the other party was actually a second-grade person.

I am surrounded.

"Me? My surname is Jiang. You can call me Jiang Lu, or you can just call me senior. After all, I am a little better than you and can barely bear the title of senior." He gestured with a gentle smile.

"Senior, why don't you take action? With so many people surrounding me, this is a good opportunity." Li Qi said.

There were humane streets all around, but they had been cleared, and only a few of them existed.

"If you don't carry the lingering sound of the Changqin, then I will definitely take action. But now, it's useless to take action anyway. Why don't we chat with you more, let's spy on each other's intelligence, and compare our words, what do you think? " Jiang Lu said.

"Is that nature, right here?" Li Qi asked.

"Let's just sit here. I happen to have some home-brewed wine to add to the fun. Sit down." As soon as Jiang Lu stretched out his hand, some more seats appeared around him.

Everyone took their seats, and Li Qi also gave a half salute, and then found a seat to sit down.

Seeing Li Qi's half salute, Jiang Lu asked, "Why are you saluting suddenly?"

Li Qi replied: "Wine is a ritual, I dare not not bow down."

"Then why only do half of it?"

Li Qi replied again: "I am forcing others to be disrespectful, so I won't worship."

Jiang Lu laughed loudly, but did not answer or defend. Instead, he simply skipped the topic and poured a glass of wine for Li Qi: "I said it was a competition of verbal skills, but you are not forgiving. By the way, you had no chance of coming, so why did you choose to go into danger alone? Even if you have Changqin’s protection, it’s not 100% safe, right?”

Li Qi picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. I'm here. Look, there are more than a dozen third-grade people and a second-grade person coming to greet you. With this kind of treatment, you can just find a place to hide." Can I get it?"

"Moreover, you don't dare to take action yet, because you probably can't make up your mind, right? Even if you are a second-grade person, you don't know whether it is good or bad to take action here. In that case, why not come and take a look? And it can also appear I am wise and courageous, brave and resourceful, and courageous. Isn't this good?" Li Qi said.

As he spoke, the aroma of the wine was fragrant. This wine should have been brewed by the God of Flowers. The scent of the flowers and the aroma of the wine were mixed together. The wine was said to be cloudy wine, but in fact it was as clear as a mirror, with a body similar to a beautiful stone and a radiant brilliance.

"The fragrance of peony, is this the craftsmanship of the peony flower god?" Li Qi asked.

"You have a good tongue. Is this wine no worse than Chang Xi's?" Jiang Lu said with a smile.

"Each has its own flavor. What Chang Xi the Great Witch brews is not wine, but longing, so it is intoxicating. And what the Peony Flower God brews is really wine, but it seems to be mixed with many things. I can't taste it, but ...It tastes good and is not intoxicating," Li Qi commented.

While he was talking, the miscellaneous family members next to him were also doing what they were supposed to do. They were drinking, and setting dishes, and they were talking and laughing. They didn't seem to be nervous at all.

Li Qi also relaxed. When it was time to pick up the food, he would pick up the food when others turned the table. It was just a show off.

It’s time now, eat more.

It's a pity that although the wine is good, the food is really not that interesting.

Maybe it's because he doesn't want to let Li Qi eat too much. After all, good food is very expensive. It's a waste to give it to Li Qi. It's better to give him some bad food.

Although it is not actually a bad dish, and it can be regarded as a delicacy in the eyes of mortals, it is a bit shabby for the third grade.

But Li Qi didn't care.

He can eat anything. Li Qi likes to taste all kinds of food, so he enjoyed this meal and didn't feel like he was being slowed down.

During this period, the conversation with the ancestor of the Za family named Jiang Lu never stopped.

"Although there is no difference between him and Chang Xi, his level is still different from that of 'Xi', right?" Jiang Lu said.

"Senior is joking, I have never met Xi, how would I know? If I have a chance in the future, I would like to taste it." Li Qi laughed.

Jiang Lu didn't seem to care and said, "Did you know? Xi is good at brewing wine, mainly because the water is good. She has a spiritual spring in her hand, from which the sun and moon come out."

"I've heard that that place is called Tang Valley, right? It's also called Wenyuan. In the past, when there were ten days in the sky, people would fall into Tang Valley to bathe every day when they rested."

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that bathing in the sun in the valley and bathing in the moon are common.

"And it's not just the tenth day, it's December as well."

Xi's twenty-two children, ten sons and twelve daughters, all bathed in that place, and even Xi himself bathed in it.

The water there is sweet, so it is also called "Ganquan" and "Ganyuan".

Where there is good water, there will naturally be good mountains. The name of that mountain is 'Nie Yao Huo Fang', and there is a sacred tree called 'Fusang Tree' growing on it. The homes of Emperor Jun and Xi are there, and the homes of Emperor Jun and Xi are also there. that place.

However, nine Tokaru have been shot to death.

Xi was also split into Chang Xi and Xi He, and Di Jun was almost removed from the group of emperors. No new news about him has been heard for many years...

Only December still exists in this world, but... they are no longer the 'moon'.

The current moon is the 'Twelve Moon', not the 'Twelve Moon'. They are no longer the moon in the world, they have become free bodies.

I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it’s definitely better than being shot to death.

but……

Why did Jiang Lu say this?

Li Qi didn't know, but he had to answer the question. He also wanted to know some things about humanity. The so-called lip service was now reflected in it.

Hearing Li Qi say that he had heard about it, Jiang Lu seemed very satisfied, and then said: "I heard that you recently wanted to resurrect Xi. You know that for Xi He and Chang Xi, this is equivalent to killing them, right?"

Li Qi's expression was a little subtle.

In fact, he didn't know or understand it, but he could imagine it.

For Chang Xi and Xi He, they are separate existences, and trying to resurrect 'Xi' requires killing them both and using their corpses as sacrifices to complete the resurrection ceremony.

This is probably the reason why Di Jun has been reluctant to take action.

With Di Jun's ability, it should be a matter of course to resurrect Xi, but if he does this, he will have to kill Chang Xi and Xihe, but for Di Jun, he can't do it?

So, Li Qi said: "Why kill them? It's not necessary, right?"

Li Qi was not prepared to please Di Jun. In fact... this might anger Di Jun. Judging from Li Qi's ability to save others, Di Jun himself was probably very conflicted. He didn't know whether Chang Xi and Xi He counted. His own wife.

If you kill these two rashly and then merge them into Xi, Di Jun will knock your head off.

As if he had expected Li Qi's words, Jiang Lu's expression became lively: "But think about it, Li Qi, if Xi is not resurrected, what will you use to steal the sun and moon's journey?"

"Look, the sun-moon journey is originally the most suitable path for Xi, right? Think about it, Xi, as the god of the sun and moon, also formulated the calendar, is also the mother of the sun and moon, and the wife of Emperor Jun, if she If you are resurrected, Shinto will have enough reason to join the war, and Xi can also fight for the sun and the moon, won't the water be more muddy, which will be good for you. "

"That's it." Li Qi nodded, noncommittal to this statement.

Whatever you say, it's impossible for him to kill the great witch Chang Xi just because of this.

"However, senior, I have another problem. The things of the sun and the moon are too weak. In today's world, the lunar sun is nothing more than that. As for the various worlds, they don't even have the lunar sun. For them, It is said that the sun and the moon are just stars, and they cannot be considered powerful. "

"Then, why do the sun and the moon travel, and even things like the sun god and the moon god, rank so high in power?"

Hearing Li Qi's question, Jiang Lu glanced at him, but he didn't seem to mean to hide it, but said: "Ha~, that's the disadvantage of being young. You haven't seen what happened before, right?"

"In the past, the universe was not so big. At that time, there was only one continent in the world. That was already...before the universe reopened many, many times."

"There is only one continent in the world?" When Li Qi heard this sentence, he couldn't help but glance at his feet.

Is it ‘the world’?

Jiang Lu admitted directly: "Well, it's right here. At that time, there was only 'Haotian' in the first rank, and Haotian was neither willing to go back nor interfere with everything easily, so at that time there was no such abstract battle as it is now. "

"At that time, it was very simple. Tens of thousands of tribes on the continent were fighting for each other. Most of the methods they used were magic, martial arts and the like. Their skills were also very simple. They could move mountains and seas, which was considered a great supernatural power. ”

Jiang Lu seemed to be caught in some kind of memory and began to take the initiative to describe to Li Qi what the world was like in the past.

In that world... no other products were born, and the universe was never reopened.

At that time, there was only one ‘Emperor of Heaven’, who was the master of all living things. He had no name.

Gods call their leaders ‘emperors’. Gods are also divided into many factions and tribes, so the leaders of these factions and tribes are ‘emperors’.

Emperor Yao, Emperor Gaoyang, Emperor Shun, Emperor Jun, etc. were all leaders of gods. Some of them were gods of heaven and others of earth.

As the supreme being, the ‘Emperor of Heaven’ is the leader of the emperors.

Later, mortals were born.

After development, mortals called their leaders ‘emperors’.

For example, the Wa Emperor, the Xi Emperor, the Sui Emperor, the Farmer Emperor, the Ancient Emperor, the Demon Emperor, etc.

Some of these ‘emperors’ are also gods, because humans themselves respect gods, and some gods are willing to lead them.

For example, the 'Nong Huang' is also the 'Di Chi' or 'Di Yan', a god of heaven.

But there are also some 'Emperors' who are pure humans, such as the 'Sui Emperor', who is a completely pure-blooded human race.

Others are of mixed blood, such as the ‘Sacrificial Emperor’. Although he is not an emperor, he is also the son of the God of Thunder, a hybrid of human and god.

Even Taiyi once led mortals and was respected as the 'Emperor Tai'. Of course, you can also call him 'Emperor Tai' or something like that.

At that time, there was no lunar sun star.

There are ten days in the sky and twelve months in the night. They are all descendants of Emperor Jun.

All races stand side by side, walking on the only continent. They eventually call the person in charge of everything, the ‘Emperor of Heaven’, ‘Hao’ with their greatest respect.

Hao means vast, because Hao is the most vast thing in the world. Even the universe itself seems so small compared to 'Hao'.

All living beings called him 'Hao', and he accepted this title happily.

Then, he looked at all living beings tenderly, watching all living beings create all kinds of new things.

He saw sentient beings inventing all kinds of novel things, and saw thousands of races competing for hegemony. At that time, there was no such thing as "Tao", and everyone was running around fighting for the survival space and survival interests of the ethnic group.

For a hunting ground, for a mountain that can produce medicinal herbs, for a large lake with water, all races are competing for living space on that continent.

Various beasts, demons, humans, and even different types of life, together created the harmony and turmoil of the original universe.

Compared with Taoism, the war at that time seemed so friendly, just like a child's play. As long as there was enough food to eat and enough resources for practice, no one would quarrel.
