Myriad Paths

Mu Xiulan did not ask about the origin of the tea.

Because it's not necessary.

Being able to take out this tea leaf says a lot in itself.

This is Penglai Immortal Tea...

That is something that is only available on Penglai Island. The opponent is Wu Jin, but he can still get this kind of thing...

This already explains the identity of the other party.

A disciple of Wushen Mountain, and also a seventh-level disciple.

Orthodox witchcraft.

Maybe it's the person from the Three Meridians.

If such a person wants to visit the king, the king will most likely not object.

Of course, he never thought about the possibility of 'gongzi'.

That's too far away.

Besides, if the young master wants to visit a king, there is no need to find someone to introduce him. He can just walk over in a swagger, and the king even has to come out to greet him.

Just like the original leader of Dalu Kingdom.

Therefore, Mu Xiulan never thought about it and left voluntarily, said goodbye to Li Qi, and went to contact the Lord of Lingxiao through her own connections.

Li Qi was left alone in this garden, and he was asked to treat this place as his own home and just say what he wanted.

Of course, Li Qi was well aware of the young master's identity and the fact that he could visit him directly.

But he has his own considerations.

The Lord of Lingxiao Kingdom is different from the ordinary Lords of Baiyue Kingdom. The other Lords of Baiyue Kingdom are cut off from the road. They have no choice but to go sideways and rely on this method to advance to the fifth rank.

But the Lord Lingxiao was different. She couldn't stay in the Tang Kingdom any longer, so she came to Baiyue. As the flower goddess in the world, the fifth rank was not difficult for her.

Even the existence of Lingxiao Kingdom is just dispensable to her. It doesn't matter if Lingxiao Kingdom is destroyed. She will not lose items because of this, but at most she will lose some strength.

But... Li Qi raised his head and glanced at the surrounding decorations.

There are traces of Lingxiao Flower everywhere.

Li Qi got up, not planning to stay in the Prefect's Mansion for too long, but planning to see the customs and customs of Lingxiao Kingdom.

Anyway, it will take a day or two at least for the other party to report it.

When he walked out, he was also thinking about the ranking of the flower gods.

The most precious flowers are orchids, peonies, and plums, which are the best among flowers.

Next are peony, lotus, clove, and jasmine.

Again chrysanthemum, apricot, berry, pear, peach, pomegranate.

Then it was the turn of Ziwei, Ling Xiao, Haitang and others.

As for cockscomb, sunflower, dianthus, papaya, and camellia, they are inferior.

In other words, Lingxiao flower is a medium-sized flower god. Compared with dianthus and papaya, which are considered inferior, it is naturally much stronger. It is said to be a "flower outside the screen".

The outer screen is outside the door, which means a tree wall.

Tree wall means erecting a barrier to divide a certain range.

The flower screen probably means "the wall of famous flowers". The goalkeeper in the flower barely reaches a certain level and will not fall to the bottom.

However, because of a poem by a celebrity from the Tang Dynasty, she directly lost her status as a goalkeeper and fell directly to the status of a low-level flower god.

Then, restoring and maintaining her status is probably Ling Xiaohua's most urgent need.

As for climbing up...that's not something Li Qineng can interfere with.

The battle for the ranking of the Goddess of Flowers is a battle between hundreds of beautiful women with many loyal fans.

Three women in one drama, not to mention so many beautiful women.

Flower gods are like celebrities, they have many admirers, and there are definitely not a few high-quality practitioners involved.

It is said that if peony can become the king of flowers, it means that it comes from the royal palace.

What about Lingxiao Flower?

Who are the original fans of Lingxiaohua?

I really don’t know this, I guess I have to ask Lingxiao Flower God himself.

Li Qi was walking alone on the street, thinking about these questions.

At this moment, Li Qi suddenly saw a large number of people coming to the street.

Originally, Li Qi wouldn't care about this kind of thing, but he still stopped, maintaining a natural posture, and looked at the group of people on horses curiously.

Because they all had a bouquet of Lingxiao flowers pinned to their chests.

This made Li Qi observe these people carefully.

They were all riding horses, and each one was as proud as a little rooster. There were men and women, but one thing in common was that they were all young people, no older than Li Qi, basically under thirty years old.

They wear the same uniforms, have many followers, and are all practitioners with ninth-level cultivation.

This made Li Qi make some guesses.

These should all be genius disciples, right? There were quite a few, forty or fifty people.

Genius disciples gathered together? It should be an activity.

The genius disciple of Lingxiao Kingdom...

It's really sad to see them showing off their skills and thinking that they are extremely talented.

Li Qi was somewhat interested in them because they all had Ling Xiao flowers on their chests, which meant that it was at least related to this. He wanted to see how Ling Xiao's country viewed Ling Xiao flowers during such a large-scale event.

Along the way, these people received a lot of attention, and many residents nearby looked at them with envy and whispered.

There were many dung pickers following them, constantly picking up the horse dung.

Horse manure is a good thing, and you can't usually pick it up, because it's rare to see so many smart horses.

Li Qi followed them and listened to the comments about them from the people around him, but no one could see him.

This made him feel ridiculous. Was it possible that when he was a tracker, there was such a seventh-grade person who walked up to him and listened to him talking to himself?

However, he couldn't find it at all.

Just like what I do to others now.

But no matter what, Li Qi still learned about the origins and some situations of this group of people through this method.

It turns out that this is the swearing-in meeting in Caizhou.

These forty or fifty young geniuses will represent Caizhou, go to Lingxiao Kingdom, listen to the sermons of the king himself, and then stay there to get the best education.

Well, Lord Lingxiao really pays attention to education.

Li Qi followed these little roosters with their heads held high all the way to an altar in the center of the city of Caizhou.

When they came to the altar, there was an old eighth-grade shaman on it, who seemed to be presiding over the sacrifice.

Seeing people gradually arriving, the shaman began to preside over the sacrifice.

Li Qi was not interested in the process of offering sacrifices. They were simple things that could boost their morale and give these young people some combat power and spiritual blessings. Nothing special.

However, after watching it for a while, Li Qi immediately noticed something special.

This sacrifice incorporates the elements of Lingxiao flower.

Li Qi saw that the old shaman was waving a large number of Lingxiao flowers and chanting: "The clouds seem to have the ambition to reach the sky, facing the sun rather than holding the center of the sun, climbing up the red sun to fight for the enlightenment, like a dragon armor entering the pure void!"

The meaning of this poem is very simple. I hope these young people will have the ambition of a flower in the sky, and dare to race with the sun like Kuafu Zhuri, instead of pursuing the sun. This climbing sky is like you, like a straight line soaring into the sky. Real dragon.

It's a bit of a patchwork, but that's basically it.

It seems that this is the accusation and rebuttal of Lord Lingxiao.

She is not a clinging flower, but tenacious and vigorous.

This element was incorporated into the sacrifice, coupled with other links, allowing Li Qi, an orthodox shaman, to interpret the meaning of this sacrifice.

The founder of this sacrifice wanted to say: 'The most respectable person among the vine flowers is Ling Xiao'.

Flattery and clinging to the powerful?

Working hard and being tenacious?

Um……

Lord Lingxiao is very unconvinced.

After Li Qi witnessed the entire sacrifice, Li Qi left quietly and returned to the prefect's mansion.

He releases himself from nature and allows others to see him.

Then, he waved his hand to summon the attendants from the Prefect's Mansion.

"Does the Lingxiao Kingdom have a historian?" Li Qi asked his attendants.

The attendant smiled and said: "My lord, you are joking. How can any country not remember its history? Of course there are historians, but your lord, you want to summon the historian?"

Li Qi shook his head and said: "No need to summon me, I just want to see the history of the country. There shouldn't be any taboos about this, right?"

"Of course not. It's just that you can't read the National History before it has been revised. After all, there are many omissions in it and it is inconvenient for others to see. But if it has been revised, adults can read it at will."

"Then let's look at the revised version." Li Qi replied.

"The revised version was ten years ago. Can I get it for you?" the attendant said immediately.

"Well, thank you." Li Qi nodded.

This thank you made the attendant a little at a loss. As a big shot, Li Qi couldn't bear the thank you.

But he left quickly and brought dozens of books to Li Qi in less than half an hour.

This is the national history of Lingxiao Kingdom.

Li Qi thanked him again, then closed the room and started reading.

He was going to make a profile of the Lord of Lingxiao, using what he knew and what he was about to know to see what kind of person he was.

He began to read history.

By now, Li Qi's reading speed has been very fast. He can quickly chew through even extremely complicated and difficult documents, let alone these simple records of national history.

There are no difficult sentences or complicated information in the history of the country. Everything is simple and clear.

What happened in a few years, months and days, it ended.

In this format, dozens of books have been written.

There is no personal emotion in it, it is just a diary record. It does not write stories or feelings, just what happened.

This narrative method makes Li Qi's reading much easier.

As long as you know what happened, you can naturally draw other conclusions.

As he read, he also learned about the major events of the Lingxiao Kingdom hundreds of years after its founding.

It turned out that the Lingxiao Flower God was initially despised and suppressed, and left the Tang Kingdom angrily, originally planning to go to the Western Regions.

Because the fans of Lingxiao Flower are not students, literati, or anything else, but monks.

That's right, Buddhism is the supporter of Lingxiao Flower.

There is a poem that says:

The osmanthus plant first reaches the ground, and the vines attached to it also reach the sky.

The leaves are as round as baobao, and the tall flowers are as bright as burning.

Therefore, it can be opened and continued, and it becomes more and more falling and fluttering.

If there is wood, I want to plant it, and I will beg for seedlings from the monks.

The Lingxiao flower is considered by Buddhism to be the flower that blooms in front of the Buddha's seat, so it is planted in large numbers in Buddhist temples.

In the White Horse Temple, which is known as the "Buddhist Source of China", the walls and roof are covered with Lingxiao flowers. (Note 1)

Therefore, when Ling Xiaohua left Tang State, the first place she wanted to go to was the Western Regions.

Then, before heading to the Western Regions, she was taught by the eminent monk of White Horse Temple.

If we go to the Western Region this time, although the Lingxiao Flower will not be in danger of life, it will be reduced to a mere scenery.

Hearing this, Lingxiao Flower God immediately said: "Since you have the appearance of Lingxiao, why would you be willing to act as an ear and eyesight for others?"

I am a flower in the sky, trying to reach the sun, how can I be reduced to a mere plaything?

So, she changed her mind.

At that time, Lingxiao Hua was at the sixth level. In order to continue to improve, she thought of a quick way to upgrade from the sixth level to the fifth level.

That is to become the leader of Baiyue Kingdom.

This is the path to the founding of the Lingxiao Kingdom.

Of course, Li Qi felt that there might be some beautifying plots, but it didn't matter.

Generally speaking, it shouldn't be wrong.

After that, there were many difficult and difficult things for the Lingxiao Flower God to establish the Lingxiao Kingdom.

It is not easy to build a country in a place like Tianxia, ​​not to mention that she was only at the sixth level at the beginning.

There are many incredible problems in the process, such as facing provocation, oppression, and persecution from many neighboring countries.

There was constant civil strife and natural disasters.

Resources were scarce, so she had to spend her own savings in the Tang Dynasty to settle down. She also relied on a lot of external help and asked the eminent monks of the White Horse Temple to help.

Perhaps the White Horse Temple was thinking of the kindness of the flowers blooming in front of the Buddha, so it did not refuse.

After that, White Horse Temple dispatched several eminent monks to teach the Dharma, and built the most famous buildings in Lingxiao Kingdom to this day, Zunfo Mountain and Fengde Temple.

At this point, Lingxiao Kingdom has finally overcome the difficult preliminary construction and is on the road to development.

"Buddha Mountain..." When Li Qi read this period of history, he recalled the address mentioned by the little monk Xinming he saw on the road.

That Buddha sculpture is in Buddha Mountain.

Is it the Buddha statue built by Fongtokuji Temple? Built now?

Anyway, it must not have been built before, because there is no mention of large Buddhist sculptures in historical materials, and if it was really built, it would definitely be written down.

This is no small matter. A statue that can carry clairvoyance will write a lot about it and cannot hide it.

The explanation must be a recent thing.

With such help, Lingxiao Kingdom's future development has been smooth, and it has also been quietly accumulating strength. Judging from the history of the country, basically every hundred years, the leader of Lingxiao Kingdom can bring back a high-quality world from outside the territory as a resource world.

These worlds are not far from the world, similar to the earth and oil world in the Dalu Kingdom. Even if you are in the world, you can rush there quickly, and you don't even need to use transportation like Jintai or Liesu.

The Holy Flame Realm is too far away in comparison. If you want to rush to the Holy Flame Realm, you need to stay there and it will take several hours to get there. So in the future, when Li Qi takes control of the Holy Flame Realm, he will also need to move the Holy Flame Realm. Yan Jie dragged it to a location relatively close to Tianxia so that it could be easily transported.

From this point of view, the leader of Lingxiao Kingdom is really a diligent and motivated person. He is a model worker after dragging one person back every hundred years. He works tirelessly, right?

Li Qi continued to analyze the situation.

About three or four hours passed.

Suddenly, Li Qi put away the History of Lingxiao Kingdom and raised his head.

I really know that the rhyme is starting to tremble.

The breath of the fifth grade.

The Lord of Lingxiao has arrived.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a female voice came from beside Li Qi: "Young Master is really keen, you can actually detect my arrival."

Note 1: Lingxiao flowers are widely planted in Buddhist temples. In reality, Fengde Temple and Baima Temple have Lingxiao flowers that are more than a thousand years old.
