Myriad Paths

As soon as this treasure came out, Li Qi could even feel that there were eyes from all over Qingwu City.

"One...two, three, four." Li Qi counted silently in his mind.

"ninety."

"Twenty-four, twenty-five." Li Qi opened his eyes and finished counting.

A total of twenty-five glances, and it was estimated that they should all be of the eighth grade, otherwise he would not have such a frightening feeling, so much so that his body and the world began to tremble.

This is not a good sign.

Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Please ask this old man to send the gift back. Your young master and I just have a small misunderstanding, and we don't deserve such a precious apology."

These treasures look astonishing. If it were anyone else, they would have been blown away by them.

It's as if a distant uncle suddenly left you a legacy of 200 million for you to inherit. I'm afraid not many people can stay calm.

But Li Qidao had a clear mind and was not moved by external things, so he refused almost without thinking.

Money is not important to him, and besides, the long knife is not important to him either.

He doesn't know how to use a knife at all...

No matter how good the weapon is, what will happen if you don’t know how to use it?

Now he can only do boxing.

So, what does it mean that Jin Buhuan suddenly gave him so many things? Are you really afraid of yourself, so you come to apologize?

No need, Li Qi himself didn't believe this statement.

"This..." The courtesy officer looked embarrassed, bowed quickly, and said tremblingly: "Sir, please don't make it difficult for me. If I can't let you accept it, then I will definitely be punished by the young master."

"Punishment is your young master's business. I can't interfere, but I will try my best to plead for you in front of your young master." Li Qi replied seriously.

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a handwritten letter.

He always carries paper and pen with him to record his thoughts and experiences. After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Daily practice is not a blind practice, but requires thinking.

Even a stupid game like martial arts requires understanding, and you have to integrate your own thinking when practicing, let alone the witchcraft he practiced.

This path is notoriously demanding on the brain, and the things to memorize are much more than ordinary people.

Fortunately, he has a plug-in, so he doesn't have to put too much effort into endorsement, but the time saved cannot be idle, and he still needs to deepen his understanding.

Cultivation itself is a process of learning and improvement. Mechanical dead training will definitely not achieve success.

After writing these things, he wrote down the page and handed it to the courtesy officer: "Old man, please accept it. If your young master punishes you, show this to him. In this way, he will not blame you." to your head."

The courtesy officer became even more panicked: "Mr. Li, you don't know something... Young Master -"

However, before the old official could finish his words, he suddenly trembled all over, and then a burst of flames rose up and engulfed him!

Li Qigang wanted to rescue him, but before he could mobilize the energy in his body, the old man, the Li Qigang, was swallowed up by the flames, turned into fly ash, and scattered all over the ground.

Li Qi's expression suddenly darkened.

However, at this time, a middle-aged man with red beard and red hair fell from the sky.

Astonishingly, it was that ‘Mr. Yan’.

I saw that Lord Yan's left sleeve was empty. It was the hand that was forced to be cut off by Shen Shuibi.

He saluted with one hand and said calmly to Li Qi: "Mr. Li, you'd better accept it. The young master has an order. If Mr. Li refuses, it must be because of the lack of etiquette. For such a slave who offends a nobleman, I have to kill him in front of you to apologize, otherwise we don’t know how to control our servants.”

Li Qi looked at this eighth-grade being, and his anger rose in his heart.

Therefore, his tone became stiff: "Jun Yan, there is nothing rude about him, but I really cannot accept this gift at will..."

Before Li Qi finished speaking, he saw another person standing up tremblingly next to him. She was a woman in her forties with gray hair. Her whole body was shaking like chaff. Her teeth were chattering, but she gritted her teeth and bowed to Li Qi. : "Sir, please accept the gift."

Li Qi took a deep breath, turned around and left.

Yan Jun waved his hand, and the woman wailed and was immediately swallowed up by the fire.

In the gift-giving team nearby, a young man immediately rushed out and called his mother in a mournful voice, wailing endlessly.

At this time, there were countless onlookers on the entire street.

Some people couldn't bear to cry and sighed softly.

Some people were angry but did not dare to curse, so they could only glare at Mr. Yan.

Some people looked at Li Qi with interest, wondering what he would choose next.

Some people left anxiously, as if they didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, or even look at it.

But more people are just watching here as spectators, without any unnecessary emotions, just watching the show.

After all, this kind of thing is rare.

In Piaoxu's inn, Qi Ya was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. The hair all over his body stood up. He huddled in Piaoxu's arms, shivering.

Piaoxu also looked worried, looking at Li Qi with anxiety in her heart.

Even he could tell that the person coming was evil.

Rabbit was still carving his own runes and spells, without reacting to anything outside. He was still holding a compass and a pen and paper, writing and calculating, and calculating the numbers of yin and yang. After all, things like formations still had to strictly rely on magic. It can only be established by numbers.

She didn't seem to feel anything at all, and she didn't react at all, just like always.

Outside, Li Qi had a gloomy expression, but he didn't say anything. He walked straight back into the inn, slammed the door, and closed it with a bang.

Yan Jun looked outside, shook his head, and then indicated with his eyes, who was next.

Another young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, hurriedly walked out of the queue, kowtowed to the inn, and begged Li Qi and Shen Shuibi to accept the gifts.

She was so frightened that she cried hoarsely, her forehead was bruised, and blood flowed all over her face.

Li Qi had no reaction, his expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard.

Without him, no one would dare to go out and open the door. The waiters and Piaoxu in the inn all looked at each other and stood stiffly.

The girl prayed for half a quarter of an hour, but Li Qi ignored her. Lord Yan waved his hand again and burned her.

Then, comes the next one.

The next one was a young man who was killed after pleading to no avail.

Next was a middle-aged man in his forties, with his two still-frail children dragging him desperately. He was also wiping away tears and hesitated to move forward.

The two children hesitated because of him, and were killed directly after Yan Jun said he was in the way.

The man was stunned, then roared and went to fight Yan Jun desperately.

However, he has not yet entered the eighth grade, how can he defeat the eighth grade? Just one look turned him into ashes.

Eighth grade, this is enough to become the master of a world in the earth oil world, a powerful person who commands hundreds of millions of people and is aloof.

After killing four or five more in succession, Mr. Yan seemed to be a little tired of killing. He looked at the inn: "Mr. Li, doesn't he claim to be kind and even save a tiger monster that took away the body of a fox? Why now? Let them die?"

Li Qi still had the gloomy expression on his face, but when he spoke, he deliberately made a relaxed and meaningless tone: "I don't save people because of my kindness, I just do it casually, but not all the people who died just now are A slave of Master Jin's family? You have your own reasons for killing your own people, and I can't comment too much on it. After all, I'm just an outsider, so how can I interfere with Master Jin's execution of family law?"

Li Qi said this and then sat down.

Two things were clear to him now.

First, if you want not to be threatened, you must not be soft-hearted.

Second, if you want more people to survive, it's best to ignore it.

When human life becomes your weakness, your opponents will only threaten you with more human lives. In the end, you will either get involved yourself, or more people will die.

Of course Li Qi knew exactly what to do.

However, there are still a few questions.

First of all, the number one issue is face.

To be precise, it’s not face, but the ‘reason’ on face.

As I once said, only by being straight can you be strong.

When a husband establishes affairs and establishes righteousness, everything must be done without reason.

The transformation of heaven and earth is the principle of Tao.

The legal system is the right thing to do, and the principle of things is also.

The propriety of etiquette is the basis of righteousness.

The cardinal of human feelings is the principle of love.

The essence is based on rationality and harmony, and the combination makes it clear, so it can become a "principle".

Li Qi adheres to righteousness, and he also needs to pay attention to the word "righteousness". The principle of righteousness is to comply with the rules of the public. This is the basis of faith and the foundation of his shamanism. The other party's "apology" is "the appropriate etiquette".

Li Qi already knew what the other party planned to do.

If you accept such an apology, it means that you have forgiven the other party in terms of logic. If the other party does anything after that, there will be no such thing as "justification".

This is not some metaphysics, but something that definitely exists. Liqiu represents the human heart, and the human heart is also a kind of power, and it is more likely to affect Li Qi's path.

Obviously, Jin Buhuan had seen that Li Qi followed the witchcraft path, so he deliberately used this method to disgust people, causing Li Qili to suffer, and even affecting his credibility with some gods.

Li Qi could even hear Jin Buhuan mocking him through this play.

"Help, you saved the person I wanted to kill in the market, weren't you kind? I wanted to see how many you could save!" Jin Buhuan was using this drama to say to himself ridicule.

Moreover, Li Qi had every reason to suspect that the gift was tampered with. After he accepted it, there might be other tricks behind it, which would only cause more trouble.

He didn't want to bet on whether his vision could see through the flaws in the gift, although Li Qi was very confident in his knowledge and had Shen Shuibi to help identify the goods.

But he is no longer the young bird he was when he first came out. He already knows the truth of ‘never underestimate the world’s heroes’, so he will not take it lightly.

In addition to the above problem, there is a secondary problem.

That is, if you really let the other party continue to kill like this, and kill to a certain extent, then you may be in the wrong.

He could even feel resentment hanging on him.

That was the resentment of the deceased, resenting why he didn't agree.

‘As long as you agree, so many people won’t die. Why don’t you agree? ’

'You are responsible for our deaths. ’

‘You hard-hearted person, why do you just watch us die without doing anything? ’

He seemed to hear ghosts, although he didn't.

Because Lord Yan's flames will burn out even the soul, and there will be no ghosts. These sounds are just the resentment he feels.

Li Qi stood up and shook his shoulders.

These resentments were shaken off and dissipated.

He is already at the ninth level, transcendent and otherworldly, and these resentments cannot be tainted on him at all.

Ordinary people are like this all the time, they usually blame those who don't stand up for them instead of blaming the real perpetrator.

Just like when women and children are sold, people will feel sad, but the direction is usually to blame the authorities for not solving the problem earlier, rather than pointing the finger at the evildoers.

So he doesn't blame this kind of thing for happening.

However, Jin Buhuan also thought a little wrong.

This drama will not make Li Qi feel wronged, and the gods will have objections to Li Qi because of this kind of thing. To be honest, Li Qi despises the other party and doesn't bother to talk to him at all.

Everything that happens now has only one impact.

That was to ask Li Qi to add one more item to his Qingwu City goal: "To overthrow Jin Buhuan."

What he originally wanted was for Jin Buhuan to let Piaoxu go, and then leave quickly, not wanting to cause trouble.

But now I'm afraid I can't just leave like this.

"Miss Shen, how is the formation arrangement going?" Li Qi turned his head and looked at Shen Shuibi who was carving the spell.

"Three hours, give me three more hours!" Rabbit raised his hand, and then continued busy knocking, writing and drawing in various places, running around the whole room.

Li Qize nodded, then looked at Piaoxu: "Miss Piaoxu, I'm afraid there will be some fighting here, which may damage your inn. Let me tell you in advance that I will compensate you according to the price afterwards. I'm afraid now I need to ask you to leave for a while to avoid harming your life.”

But Piaoxu resolutely refused. She said: "Sir, he offended Jin Buhuan just to save my life. How could I ask him to compensate me? Please take back this statement. Although the little girl has nothing to do with it, My abilities are not as great as my master’s, but I still have some ambition.”

Then, she held out a small flying knife: "The little girl is not good at martial arts, but she still has some adventures. This is the magic weapon I transformed from a ray of golden energy I got in the Green Mountain when I was transforming into a demon. It is the tiger demon." Left after death, it can move according to the heart, and can travel two miles in a moment. It has reached the ultimate level in the ninth level. If it is destroyed by a one-time explosion, the power can be increased tenfold. My cultivation level is shallow and my strength is low, so I can't When I go into battle, I would like to offer this to you, sir, to fight against the enemy.”

Li Qi looked at the flying knife. The golden light flashed and the evil spirit was overflowing. It was indeed the top grade among the ninth grade, and the quality was as good as his own Tang knife.

It's just that this knife always looks familiar...

I always feel like I've seen something similar somewhere.

But he didn't think too much here, but said: "Then I will accept it, this may come in handy."

Li Qi pointed to the back door: "You should hide in the backyard. Miss Shen's formation in the backyard should have been completed, and the aftermath will not affect you."
