Myriad Paths

Zhu Fengdan left very satisfied.

It was the next one's turn.

Wu Xian ordered another one, the next one was Sun Moon True Lead Ding.

This second-grade who had lost his way came to Li Qi.

"Father-in-law, I'm sorry." Li Qi bowed his head and apologized.

Yang Zhenqian said calmly: "There is nothing to apologize for. You have reached a peak that I never thought of. It is difficult to gain a foothold here. Also, you may feel that everything you have encountered is painful, but... it is all like this."

"Just a chess piece, who isn't?"

When he said this, Li Qi seemed to be able to empathize.

A second-grade genius, but in the end his way was cut off. Now he is running around and fighting for his life, just for the sake of his descendants and inheritance.

In terms of "misery", Li Qi is afraid that he can't compare with his father-in-law.

Yang Zhenqian's way was interrupted alive by someone.

"Everything is born from nothingness, including the universe itself, so nothingness is nothing. You were created by the demon, but just like your daughter, wasn't she also created by you from nothingness? Creation is nothing. The key is that your creation represents the existence of objective reality, right? Otherwise, where do you create from?" Yang Zhenqian said to Li Qi.

"I already have an idea about this." Li Qi said.

"That's what your master said, to rebuild, right?" Yang Zhenqian replied.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded.

"Okay." Yang Zhenqian didn't say anything more. This is also a choice and an answer.

Therefore, he also chose to leave.

Came to the next one, Prince Changqin.

He came to Li Qi leisurely, but didn't take the initiative to speak.

"Master, I'm sorry, I caused a lot of trouble, but I can't clean it up. About Xiangliu and Gonggong..." Li Qi just opened his mouth.

However, Changqin interrupted Li Qi: "These are all trivial matters. I just feel a little sad that his disciples have chosen the same path as him. Can the master and the disciple really be so similar?"

"Did the teacher also retake the course?" Li Qi asked.

"No, but after he became a demon, he broke his foundation and started over at the third level. However, I and the witch gods have advised him, but he didn't listen and insisted on taking his own path. Now... because of you, he has come back."

"In the end, what is right, what you think or what others say, is actually very difficult to say." Changqin sighed.

Zhu Fengdan in the past was extremely arrogant. He didn't listen to anyone except his own decision.

He ignored the advice of the witch god and the teachings of his brother and must find a path of his own.

Even if he successfully promoted to the second level under the arrangement of the witch god, he chose to break his foundation and fall back to the third level and walk again. He just didn't believe this evil.

After wasting so much time in the third rank, he finally returned to the path suggested by the witch god.

Changqin and Li Qi were both thinking at this moment... What was Zhu Fengdan thinking when he chose to come back?

He destroyed his foundation and wasted until now. In the end, the witch god was right, but... did he really think that the witch god was right? Or was it just for Li Qi?

Li Qi just thought about the struggle, and it seemed that... what he encountered didn't seem so outrageous.

Everyone has their own story, nothing special.

Yang Zhenqian, Zhu Fengdan, they actually encountered the same thing as Li Qi.

No one is easy.

Didn't the Buddha and the demons still entangled until now? The human and witch sides even plotted against each other because of this. I don't know how many such things have happened.

Li Qi's experience is not special.

No one is special.

The so-called suffering of all living beings is actually like this.

"So, you are not special. If you think this way, do you feel that the burden on your shoulders is much lighter? We are involved in too many things, so hard work is inevitable. If you think from this perspective, can you find that it is because you feel tired that everything seems so real?" Changqin said so.

"I will experience it myself, Master." Li Qi said sincerely.

"Reincarnation requires you to give up reality, which will be very dangerous." Changqin reminded.

"If there is no reality, there is no reality, which is enough to explain the truth of this world, isn't it?" Li Qi said so.

"Not wrong, it's good that you have an idea." Prince Changqin looked at Li Qi, and then said: "You don't need to worry about Gonggong's affairs, and he won't be entangled with you. Don't worry, I'll leave first. Oh, by the way, you played very well in the battle between humans and witches. Wu Xian did not lose this time to destroy Buddhism. Don't listen to his nonsense."

After speaking, Prince Changqin also disappeared.

Wu Xian shook his head, smiled bitterly, and then said: "The next one is me. I will put you last, the Jade Rabbit over there. You two can discuss the following matters by yourselves." Shen Shuibi naturally had no objection, and Wu Xian did not discuss it with her. So Wu Xian sat in front of Li Qi. He said straight to the point: "I did miscalculate about your matter. I did not expect your identity and the plan of the demon. However, it was not so bad. At least I still got the Desire Realm. Although I did not achieve the predetermined goal, I did not lose so much." Li Qi did not speak, but just listened quietly.

"All the plans on your body have disappeared. In other words, from now on, you are no longer a chess piece. Of course... you may be again anytime and anywhere. It depends on you. You can't help yourself, but at least It’s not that desolate anymore,” Wu Xian explained to Li Qi.

In response to this answer, all Li Qi could do was smile bitterly.

Wu Xian continued as if he hadn't seen it: "In the current situation, it's a good thing for you to rebuild. It can avoid many dangers in the future. As a compensation for the chess piece, I will let Datu help you keep an eye on your reincarnation to ensure that you are reincarnated this time." You won’t become a pawn, but it’s up to you whether you can succeed in re-cultivating. You must know that many re-cultivators end up doing nothing, fall back into reincarnation, and never come back to life.”

"I know all the risks, but what about the realm of desire in my body...?" Li Qi looked at Wu Xian.

Wu Xian replied: "When you reincarnate, I will help you take it off. After all, I want to take it away. As for your Tao Yun, do you still keep it?"

"Can I keep it? This belongs to the Demon, right?" Li Qi asked.

"If you can stay, this can be considered compensation." Wu Xian replied.

"Okay, then let's stay. Without this, I'm really not used to it." Li Qi smiled.

"Then when you are ready, call me three times and I will come to see you off in person." Wu Xian said, "I will leave the rest to you and your wife. You can go back to the cave yourself."

Wu Xian nodded to Li Qi and left immediately.

This inner world also disappeared without a trace, leaving only Li Qi and his wife.

Li Qi turned his head and looked at Shen Shuibi in front of him.

She still had short hair and looked at Li Qi, her eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of indescribable emotion, like complaints and helplessness.

Li Qi reached out and took her back to the cave in Xuanjing Mountain.

Xuanjing Mountain is still like that. After all, this is the world, and the world is very safe, at least compared to outside the territory.

Arriving at the door of the cave, Rabbit took the initiative and said, "I don't want to talk in silence inside, so let's take a walk around here."

Li Qi nodded, and Shen Shuibi began to walk around the cave.

He didn't use any magical powers, just walked on like that.

The two of them walked silently on the mountain road. They were obviously walking side by side, but they felt a little lonely and stood out from the crowd.

It was as if there was a wall separating the two.

The name of this wall is ‘Farewell’.

On this day of separation, the weather is still sunny, but it seems that it will rain soon. Some gloomy dark clouds are floating in the distance in the sky, as if heavy waves are rolling in the blue sky, indicating that it is about to rise. Wind, the couple saw the dark clouds spreading from a distance, colliding with the strong wind from time to time, breaking into waves in the distance, but immediately regrouped and moved towards this direction unremittingly.

The wind is blowing in the mountains, and even if the sun shines down, it can make people feel the chill that makes them shrink slightly.

Just like the atmosphere between the two of them at the moment.

After walking like this for a while, the two of them had to stop, because they had finished walking, and there was no more road under their feet, and there was an abyss ahead.

So, the two people sat down on a big rock next to the cliff. Since this was a high point, the view of the sea of ​​clouds rolling outside was very good.

It's like sitting on the beach, watching the sea water rising in the distance, and even the ground seems to be gradually rising.

The sea of ​​clouds, urged by the wind, slowly rolled up huge waves, which seemed to be the last echo of a terrible storm occurring elsewhere behind the horizon.

But the sinking water gently pressed down, so the deep sea of ​​clouds that she could see was forced to remain calm.

It was like she was forcing herself to stay calm.

However, Shen Shuibi kept looking at Li Qi in front of her, wanting to deeply imprint this shape, face image and Li Qi's breath into her memory, so that when he returns in the future and waits for him at the same place, he can Recognized from a distance.

"Why hold it down? You have to do it after all." Li Qi said, and then flicked his fingers to release the sea of ​​clouds suppressed by Shen Shuibi.

Then, some cloud waves began to surge from the horizon, rolling in regularly one after another, non-stop, uninterrupted, and surging repeatedly.

Sunlight can occasionally penetrate these dark clouds, shatter on the rocks, and spread on the earth, but in the end it cannot suppress the dull commotion of these dark clouds.

The collision between the sky and the atmosphere makes people feel very strange after a long time. The water vapor in the air becomes dense, as if there is too much water and wants to overflow.

Silence passed for a while. In the end, the sea of ​​clouds still couldn't hold on. Like a balloon with a hole in it, the water vapor condensed into raindrops and fell in a steady trickle.

At this time, there were squeaking sounds all around.

It turned out to be a monkey in the forest. He saw two people sitting here and came over to watch.

Li Qi took a look and saw that these monkeys had changed species.

It seems that all the monkeys have disappeared in the years since he went to war. There are no monkeys that can make wine at that time. Now these monkeys are much stronger than before.

"In the past, the monkeys here could make wine from a very bitter fruit. When I was fishing in the mountains, they traded the fruit with me for fish."

Li Qi talked about some insignificant and trivial things.

"Really? The Earth Spirit puppy I raised before seemed to know them, but the Earth Spirit existed for a limited time and has dissipated."

Shen Shuibi also responded to Li Qi, but the two of them spoke in a very low voice, as if they were afraid of scaring away the little time they had left.

However, time flew away at a faster speed.

Although Li Qi can control time, even pausing time has no meaning. There is nothing urging Li Qi, he is just constantly suppressed by the expanding sense of nothingness in his heart.

Li Qide entered reincarnation before he was crushed. Before that, he could not stop his subjective time.

However, they spent such precious time chatting.

What the two people talked about were the most meaningless trivial matters, but... when the two of them said it, it seemed that these nonsense became extremely profound and important.

Boom!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was even thunder.

Woohoo!

Woo...!

The howling of the wind came, the sea of ​​clouds shook furiously, the thunder was hidden in the dark clouds, and it made a low roar from time to time. When the wind swept the raindrops and rushed into the canyon, it would make a high-pitched sound. This is A thin, high-pitched sound that sounded like a wail.

The turbulent raindrops kept hitting the cliff wall, knocking down a few pieces of gravel.

The dark and cold rain seemed to be filled with madness. Many insects and small animals could be seen struggling in the rain. Large animals, including the humans in the villages below, also found places to hide.

The two were talking in the rain.

"It's better to grow your hair longer." Li Qi suddenly said.

"When you come back, it will grow longer." Shen Shuibi said.

Li Qize reached out and took the hair behind his ears in his hand. This light hair could not be matched with any jewelry at all, and the hairpins Li Qi gave him were naturally useless.

If Li Qi doesn't come back for a day, those hairpins won't be able to be worn for a day.

"By the way, even though I am in the second rank, I won't give it to you now. When I come back, I will give you the ninth hairpin." Li Qi said.

"It's okay, my hair is short now and I can't wear other hairpins." Shen Shuibi said, staring at Li Qi, unwilling to let go.

"It's okay, I can see you wearing it when I come back." Li Qi said.

Then he stood up and put his forehead against the rabbit.

There seemed to be a surge of anger in the rabbit's heart, and he wanted to push him away.

But when the hand was placed on his chest, it softened again, and he just grabbed the skirt of his clothes weakly, unable to say anything.

"I'm leaving." After saying that, Li Qi disappeared.

The rain stopped, the sun shone from the sky, and the animals looked up again.
