Chapter 116 Fighting (First Order Request)
"No, you have made great achievements this time. It is against the rules not to reward you. Although I cannot give you a reward on my behalf, I still have to show something." The star said.
"Although you have excellent talents, you are still young, only in your early twenties, and your cultivation is still shallow, so you are not suitable for generous rewards. I can't think of anything good at the moment. Why don't you tell me what you want?"
Da Bu threw the choice to Li Qi.
He looked quite relaxed.
But Li Qihan came out.
If you tell the other party something that makes him unhappy, will he die?
But you should answer immediately at this time. If you think twice, you may be thought by the other party that you are not speaking from the heart, but thinking carefully to please.
Therefore, Li Qi just thought about it for a moment, then bowed and said: "I have no other wish, but I would like to trouble you to inform my teacher. I have fulfilled my mission and successfully found Empress Luofu. That's all."
After saying this, Li Qi glanced at the fortune teller.
It's a pity that the other party is just a star now, with no expression at all and unable to detect words and emotions.
"Okay, what's your teacher's name?" Dabu asked.
Bad food.
Li Qi sweated on his forehead.
What is Mr. Zhu's name?
I do not know.
However, he immediately reacted and presented the willow branch: "I don't dare to ask the name of the teacher, and I don't dare to call him directly, but this willow branch was given by the teacher, and the fortune teller should be able to tell it."
It was a big divination. He glanced at Li Qi's willow branch and shook it: "Oh, it's this boy. He actually accepted a disciple? Are you an apprentice or a disciple?"
"Of course I'm an apprentice." Li Qi replied.
"That's right. This kid has never had an apprentice. Even if he is an apprentice, you have made a start. Okay, I have already informed him, so I will take Luofu away first."
Before leaving, he asked Shen Shuibi again: "Yue Jing, do you want to go back with Luofu?"
"Is the empress... okay? I hope the divination will tell me how long it will take for the empress' true spirit to revive." Shen Shuibi heard this question and asked in return.
"Of course it's fine. Don't you think our Witch God Mountain can't even protect Luofu? As for the recovery of the true spirit, it can take anywhere from ten years to a hundred years. We have to go back and figure it out slowly." Dabu replied proudly.
Hearing this answer, Shen Shuibi glanced at Li Qi and whispered: "Li Qi, do you want to go back to Wushen Mountain to practice?"
"I have lost my cultivation. I have to start over from scratch anyway. There is not much difference in my cultivation wherever I am." Shen Shuibi whispered, glancing at Li Qi as he spoke: "If you want to go back to Wushen Mountain, we will go back together. If you don't go, then I... still want to stay by my mother's side and wait for her to wake up. "
What else could Li Qi think when he heard this?
If you don’t go to Wushen Mountain now, why don’t you wait until you die before going?
I’ve been a disciple for so long, so it’s normal for me to return to my disciples, right?
Li Qi quickly said: "Dabu, can you take me back to your master's door together?"
"It doesn't matter, you can make your own decision." Dabu looked very casual and had no airs.
However, at this moment, a voice came.
"Who said you can go back? Is he your teacher, or am I your teacher?" Mr. Zhu's body emerged from the void, still looking like a scholar.
Dabu just informed him, and he appeared directly here.
"Sir." Li Qi saluted immediately.
He didn't dare to call him teacher, so he still called him son.
"The mission was completed very well, but if I want to go back to the mountain now, I feel a little hopeless." Mr. Zhu appeared and said to Li Qi.
As soon as he appeared, everyone present looked at him.
Before anyone could answer, Mr. Zhu looked at Da Bu and said dissatisfied: "Old man, what do you mean? Are you taking my student back to the mountain now to ruin his future?"
"You're a sharp-tongued kid. I won't argue with you. I'm your student anyway. Do whatever you like." Da Bu, on the other hand, saw Mr. Zhu coming and left directly.
gone……
Hey, you still left Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning where they are! Also, what do you mean by ruining my future?
Li Qi, Shen Shuibi, and Yang Ning all looked confused.
So unreliable? Why did you just leave!
"Okay, you two, please leave. I'll have a few words with my student alone." When Mr. Zhu suddenly appeared and waved his hand, Li Qi felt that his body was out of control.
In an instant, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed and turned into a chaotic space like the altar.
However, Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning have disappeared, leaving only Li Qi and the smiling Young Master Zhu.
Li Qize bowed his head respectfully and waited for the other party to speak.
"Well, you did a good job. Although you are a heretic, I can't guess what you have been doing these days, but you were able to find Empress Luofu and summon the great fortune teller against two sixth-grade demons. It shows that you are indeed You work hard, and your abilities are not bad. No, you haven't entered the first grade yet, you should be said to be very good." Mr. Zhu said to Li Qi with a smile.
"Young Master is so complimentary." Of course Li Qi had to humble himself.
"No need to call me Young Master, you can call me Teacher now." Zhu Young Master said.
"Disciple pays homage to the teacher!" Li Qi immediately bowed and shouted without hesitation.
This thigh can be regarded as a hug!
After accepting Li Qi's gift calmly, Mr. Zhu said again: "Do you know why I don't let you go back to Wushen Mountain directly?"
Of course Li Qi didn't know, so he answered truthfully, "Disciple doesn't know."
"Now you go back to Wushen Mountain. Because of my seniority, you will not practice slowly like ordinary disciples. Instead, you will go directly into the mountain. And there is the moon spirit Shenshuibi around you, which is very attractive to the wind. Your current cultivation level is not enough. , he will be beaten to death when he goes back. Even if he doesn't die, he may lose his moral integrity and become a useless person." Mr. Zhu explained.
Li Qi felt ashamed and asked boldly: "Teacher, may I ask... are you very popular?"
Mr. Zhu's expression remained unchanged: "There are too many mediocre people in Wushen Mountain, so it is normal for them not to get along with me."
Li Qi wiped his forehead.
Okay, got it.
You have offended too many people. As a student of yours, your level is not good enough. It is easy for something to happen when you go back...
"After that? What plans does the teacher have for me?" Li Qi asked.
As a teacher, you have to make some arrangements.
"Of course! This place is about three million miles away from Wushen Mountain. I'll give you a magic book. You can walk all the way back to Wushen Mountain from here and learn the magic book on the way. After you go back, you won't be afraid of them anymore!" Mr. Zhu clapped his hands and said proudly: "With this arrangement, it will be very safe for you."
After hearing this, Li Qi was stunned.
Sir, walking 1.5 million kilometers, an old horse can travel 800 miles a day, and it will take ten years.
Do you want me to die?
"Why are you looking at me with that expression? Can you only travel eight hundred miles a day on the road forever? Can't you make progress? Okay, that's it." Master Zhu saw Li Qi's expression and immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, how can we really let you walk on the road for ten years? If nothing happens, you will be able to travel with the wind after you enter the first grade. This distance, after you reach the eighth grade, you can leave in one or two years. It’s over.”
"Teacher, do you think I can reach the eighth rank in two or three years? I have also heard on the way that some people are stuck in the ninth rank for their entire lives..." Li Qi was speechless at first, and then said to Mr. Zhu.
"That's some people, not you. You have a heretic Dao Yun to help you. How difficult is it for you to be in the eighth rank?" Mr. Zhu raised his eyebrows and didn't care.
Li Qi, on the other hand, felt like he was almost dehydrated.
"Heretic... Taoist rhyme?" He repeated in a hoarse voice.
"What? You didn't notice it, right? I feel it?" Mr. Zhu came over and stretched out his hand to grab it.
Li Qi suddenly felt snowflakes starting to appear in front of his eyes.
The progress bars that I was used to existing all began to flash violently!
Then, it was forcefully pulled out from his sight!
"Do you feel any change? You see, this is your heretic Taoist rhyme. It is a trace of innate Taoist rhyme that you accidentally acquired across the world. Generally, it will exist in a way that suits your own thoughts. It is considered a good one. It's a strange encounter. It can be considered as miraculous even if you are at level 6 or below. Once you reach level 5 and you can cross the boundary, this kind of thing will be nothing. You can get it by bowing your head." Mr. Zhu grabbed a ball of Li in his hand. Kai said easily as he couldn't see anything at all.
Then, he moved forward, and Li Qi felt a trance again. After opening his eyes, he recovered.
Well, sure.
My golden fingers are indeed hairless, so they are just rubbed casually.
Is it true that other people's cheats are the kind that even the top bosses fall for? How come my own essence has been analyzed by others, and my teacher has commented that I am "submissive".
Adventure...the plug-in that I hid is actually just an ordinary adventure.
Sure enough, there is no protagonist in the world.
"In compliance with the teacher's wishes, I will set off from here and rush to Wushen Mountain." Li Qi replied respectfully.
"Don't panic, I haven't given you a reward yet." Mr. Zhu stopped Li Qi.
"Although I don't know what you went through on the road this time, you actually faced two sixth-grade demon kings and still managed to hold on. Yes, you did a very good job. You are worthy of being my student." Master Zhu praised.
It's like you taught me...
Li Qi cursed in his heart.
Boom, Li Qi's head was suddenly hit by a stone, which made him dizzy and almost lost his balance.
However, there was no injury.
"You should be beaten for slandering the teacher. Although I have never taught you, you can't say it out loud, and you can't even think about it in front of me. Don't you know that for practitioners above the seventh level, your inner voice is like a I shouted loudly in my ears, if you dare to think like this in front of people above the seventh level in the future, you may not be able to return to Wushen Mountain. This can be regarded as a lesson for you," Mr. Zhu said nonchalantly.
As he spoke, he extended his hand.
Suddenly, the chaotic space separated directly!
"When heaven and earth first opened, there were no characters in either world, so it was called chaos."
"Later, Qingqing ascended. There was the sun, the moon, the stars, and the chen. Therefore, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the chen were called the four phenomena." Mr. Zhu said in a low voice.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that the primitive and chaotic sky around me suddenly cleared up, and the sun, moon and stars hung in the sky and circled the earth!
Then, the sun, moon, stars, and stars collapsed again, each turning into a wisp of fresh air and falling into his hands.
"I will give you the energy of the four phases of the sun, moon, and stars. Each one has a ray, and each has its own magical uses. If you understand it in detail, you may gain something. You can also use it directly when you are in danger. It can help you get rid of four life and death crises. How safe is your journey?" Mr. Zhu said to Li Qi, and then waved his hand.
Four wisps of fresh energy were seen pouring into Li Qi's body and lurking inside him.
After doing this, I saw Mr. Zhu drifting away, leaving Li Qi with his back.
He left without even saying hello.
Li Qi stood in the chaotic space, respectfully bowed to the back, and stood there for five minutes.
Then, he raised his head, and the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally came out.
Damn, there is a reason why you are not popular!
Should I leave? Didn't you hear it?
This teacher is really unreliable!
——————————
However.
Master Zhu is not completely unreliable.
As a reward for Li Qi's good work, and for his smooth journey, Master Zhu gave Li Qi four strands of divine energy, which came from the sun, moon and stars, and should be very powerful.
Then, with these four strands of divine energy, Li Qi also got his master's inheritance, the magic given to him by Master Zhu, and a new book in his mind, full of different magic, a full 120 kinds, which is estimated to be learned in the next ten years.
Then, Li Qi left the chaotic space and returned to the White Snake Mountain.
Standing on the mountain, there was no one around.
It seems that Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning should have gone back, right?
"But... it's a good thing, right?" Li Qi said to himself with a bitter smile.
Compared with those high-ranking gods, he is really as humble as dust. He has to thank his cheap teacher Zhu Gongzi for being able to be related.
He seems not to have told me his name yet.
Forget it, just call him teacher.
After that, I have to walk to Wushen Mountain alone.
No, there is also Lao Ma. Brothers are caring, not like women who leave at any time.
Wait, where is Lao Ma?
Damn, where is Lao Ma!
Li Qi panicked. He looked around and found that Lao Ma was really gone!
This is bad.
Can't he really walk 1.5 million kilometers?
Damn, the distance between the earth and the moon is only 300,000 kilometers. Does he have to walk five times between the earth and the moon?
Li Qi hurriedly looked for Lao Ma everywhere. Could he have fallen down?
However, he just looked down and saw Lao Ma carrying Shen Shuibi, walking slowly from below.
Shen Shuibi was still the same, in a daze, with a kind of erratic temperament, as if she was not in this world.
Li Qi looked at the old horse, and then looked at Shen Shuibi above.
The two looked at each other.
Then the old horse ran over happily, rubbed Li Qi, and snorted, as if he was very happy that Li Qi was okay.
And Li Qi also found that the old horse seemed to have grown some scales on the mane of his neck?
But that was not important, the important thing was that Shen Shuibi was still there.
"Miss Shen... why didn't you go back to Wushen Mountain with Miss Yang Ning?" Li Qi suppressed his emotions and asked Shen Shuibi politely.
"Ah... that, I asked that great master what he was going to do with you." Shen Shuibi seemed a little embarrassed, and said while twisting her hair with her fingers, sitting on the horse: "He said he was going to let you walk back to Wushen Mountain as a training for you."
"I asked, how long it would take."
"He said, about four or five years."
"Then, he said, it doesn't seem to be very long, and the queen will also wake up in ten to a hundred years, so he suggested that I don't go to Wushen Mountain for the time being, just walk back with you, it doesn't seem to delay anything?" Shen Shuibi didn't know what to say, so the logic was a little confusing.
"I thought about it, it seems so, so I agreed."
Shen Shuibi finished speaking and looked at Li Qi.
"Is that so." Li Qi, after listening, nodded calmly: "Then let's go."
Calm ghost, it was my fault for criticizing the teacher just now! You are really my great benefactor! It must be their fault for others to be against you!
"Yeah!" Shen Shuibi nodded, and the two looked at each other in silence.
However, he smiled again, Li Qi led the horse, Shen Shuibi sat on it, and the two went down the mountain together.
Li Qi didn't know what to say, he felt confused, probably because he was beaten stupid by Master Zhu, and his usual agility and intelligence were gone.
He didn't even ask why the old horse had some more scales on his body, but he thought that he should have gained some benefits, Master Zhu shouldn't be so stingy, right?
No, right?
Just going down the mountain, halfway down, he saw flags waving not far away, and there was actually a team of carriages!
The carriages were extremely gorgeous, with four horses, all eight-foot dragon horses, decorated with bundles of silk, cinnabar, paint, silk, cotton wool, big bamboo, small bamboo, and gold.
The so-called "four horses are called a carriage", this is considered a carriage, which can be regarded as the etiquette of a nobleman.
There is also a whole team of carriages lined up behind, forming a complete set of ceremonial frames, which seems to be waiting for the nobleman.
"What is that?" Li Qi raised his head and his eyes became clear again.
With such stimulation from the outside world, his lost IQ immediately regained the high ground.
"Look at that flag, it seems to be the carriage of the governor, wait, the governor of Baishezhou?" Li Qi frowned, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
But before he could make up his mind, a voice suddenly came.
The voice sounded out of thin air beside his ear, saying: "I have come to welcome the young master in person. Now the two great fortune-tellers and the great priests have come to my humble state. The wine and food are crude, and the greetings are sloppy. I feel ashamed and have no face to keep you two. But I see that the young master is still there and has not left. I think the young master must have a kind heart, a good character, a kind heart, and a broad mind. I don't think you will blame me for this. I have specially prepared a humble banquet and dare to welcome you and the lady to sit down here!"
Li Qi understood it when he heard it.
Well, the teacher is so proud.
He just passed by and didn't even stay. He had already frightened the White Snake Prefect to death. He must have rushed frantically to come here to greet him.
Therefore, Li Qi said: "You don't have to be like this, Governor. The two of us are just passing by, so let's skip the banquet!"
Just as he finished saying this, Shen Shuibi suddenly bent down and said to him: "This kind of banquet will have many natural and earthly treasures..."
Li Qi blinked when he heard this.
But at this time, the voice said, "Young master, you don't have to be humble. I think you must go to Wushen Mountain. Why not take the same ride with Beizhong? Not only will it be faster, but you can also let Beizhi show his friendship to the landlord and express his feelings!"
Li Qi couldn't help but sigh after hearing the other party's tone.
Is this what it feels like to have someone behind you?
Although it seems that Wushen Mountain is at war with the Tang Dynasty, which makes me very scared, in this place governed by witchcraft, no matter what, I have a teacher Da Zhu, and this generation is instantly different.
However, Li Qi was also very capable and knew that the person the other party respected was not him, but the person behind him who feared him.
Therefore, he did not dare to be too arrogant. In addition, Shen Shuibi reminded him, so he softened his tone and said: "Since the prefect has been prepared for it, the boy can only be disrespectful!"
"Haha, why did the young master say this? It is my luck to be able to go with the young master." came the voice of the prefect.
Li Qi pouted.
Just now they were in a humble position, but now they have become an old man. These people are really good at taking advantage of their situation.
However, now that it has been decided, there is not so much futility.
Li Qi waited where he was.
After a while, the frame came up the mountain.
At this time, Li Qicai saw that the frame was really... big.
Rather than saying it was a carriage, it was more like carrying a small single room of fifty square meters up the mountain.
Four dragon colts that are slightly shorter than the old horses pull the cart, and there are beasts of burden below. There are flower charm patterns on the frame, which seem to be guiding the existence of some 'qi', making this gorgeous small single room very stable.
At the rear, there is an honor guard accompanying them. They are well-ranked and set up camps. Some hold flags, some hold musical instruments, some hold umbrellas, and some dance fans. They prepare flags, dragon umbrellas, clothes, flags and flowers to encourage and greet. The roads are embroidered with jewels and jade, the costumes are ingenious, the songs are elegant and beautiful, and they are bright and neat.
There are more soldiers behind him, holding bows, arrows, knives, spears, crossbows, and axes. Their armor is made of patent leather, and their arrows are made of bones. Each one is nine feet tall, with majestic faces. They all stand upright, and their movements are filled with dust. Fog, majestic.
Just by looking at it, you can tell how majestic, rich and glorious the prefect is.
Another official led the way, came to Li Qi, stopped the carriage, put down the carriage, and opened the door: "Sir and lady, please get on the carriage and go with the prefect!"
Li Qi asked: "What about my horse?"
"The young master's mount will be handled by his own horseman, so there is no need to worry."
Hearing this, Li Qi helped Shen Shuibi get off the horse and walked into the carriage with his head held high without taking his luggage.
After entering, Li Qi felt like he was in a trance.
Damn it, where is this small single room? This is a big villa!
The inside of the carriage is much larger than the outside. From the outside, it looks like a single room of fifty square meters, but from the inside, it looks like a gorgeous carved building.
The crystal light shone inside, and Li Qi seemed to have stepped into a grand hall. Inside, there was a branch of a redwood tree about ten meters high, decorated with pearl flowers, viburnum flowers, and agate flowers, a dazzling array of flowers.
Looking around again, there are windows covered by lattice and railings surrounding them. The five-color crystal light is dazzling, and there are also jewels, each of which looks strange.
There are layers of green light and greenery, and there are all kinds of flowers and plants. They are so beautiful that they cannot be reached at a glance.
Walking among them, a dozen maids saluted respectfully and shouted: "Welcome to the young master!"
There are more than a dozen beauties, all of them are very elegant in appearance, with fragrant cherry blossoms, smiling faces, red skirts and blue hats, the fragrance is overflowing, their eyebrows and eyes are flowing, as if flowers are everywhere in the sky.
Looking at the hall, there is a long table that is already full of people. Some are civil servants, some are military generals, and some do not look like they have official positions, they should be from practicing sects.
On the long table, many delicacies were placed in rows, the aroma was fragrant, and there were maids serving them, serving them in abundance.
On top of all this, there is a book table. There is a middle-aged man with a majestic face, wearing an official uniform, sitting at the head of the long table, extending his hand to invite Li Qi: "Come, sir, please sit down!"
Li Qi stayed where he was and did not move.
To be honest, he was shocked by this scene.
However, Li Qi had seen countless CG movie special effects and had the slightest ability to resist this kind of fantasy scene. He was only dazed for a moment. The moment the White Snake Prefecture governor spoke to him, he returned to normal.
"Thank you for the invitation, Prefect." Li Qi handed over his hand, and then took Shen Shuibi to sit on the other side of the long table, looking at each other across the table from the Prefect, which seemed very natural.
Li Qi sat down and others also said:
"I am extremely happy that the young master can attend the banquet in person!"
"I have read about the power of great blessings in ancient books. When I saw it today, it was really shocking!"
"The cursed demon, the two bear-killing demons, has been entrenched in White Snake Mountain for a long time. Fortunately, my respected master eliminated the two demons, which really solved the problem of hundreds of millions of residents of White Snake State!"
All kinds of flattery words came towards Li Qi.
This scene is like the mayor visiting the neighborhood committee for inspection.
Fortunately, Li Qi was able to cope with it. While exchanging pleasantries, he said, "I'm a newbie here. I still don't know the names of the princes of White Snake Prefecture? Can you tell me a few things so that we can move around in the future."
"Why do you have to call yourself a lowly official? How can we deal with this? I am the thief supervisor of Baishe Prefecture, Tan You." One person spoke first.
"That's right. If you call yourself a lowly official, how can we have the face to sit here? Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for me who don't have an official position? My Beimen Gang is just doing some running effects." Someone echoed and pointed out his identity.
For a while, Li Qi was besieged more.
He mediated and talked among them, and responded appropriately. Even if he occasionally acted impolitely, no one would care.
The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone, and everyone added fuel to the fire. After such a scene, even if Li Qi was a waste without a rank, he seemed to have really become a noble person at this moment.
Shen Shuibi shrank aside. She had lost all her power and body. If she didn't have enough eyesight or unique detection skills, it would be difficult to find that her essence was as high as the fifth rank.
She was very beautiful, but now she was shrinking her head and looked timid, and she was not decorated or made up, so compared with those beautiful maids, she was not noticeable and was only regarded as the maid of Mr. Li Qi.
Therefore, no one cared about her, just like no one paid attention to the maids around.
She also had the opportunity to look around.
However, the one she looked at the most was still Li Qi.
Although Li Qi was surrounded by a bunch of people and seemed to be floating, Shen Shuibi could sense that Li Qi was very capable. Although he seemed to be lifted up very high, he always kept his eyes clear and was not overwhelmed.
This made Shen Shuibi quite happy.
At least it was better than the previous look of being hit by a stone.
However, Shen Shuibi still looked at the White Snake State Governor from time to time.
Except for inviting Li Qi at the beginning, he did nothing else and kept watching the greetings below.
Well, Li Qi is still inexperienced. Is he looked down upon now? If Li Qi cared too much about the people below, he would appear to be a bit frivolous.
Shen Shuibi was thinking about these things in her mind.
But it didn't matter, there was no need to have any intersection with these people.
After talking for a while, Li Qi was a little tired.
These people were very enthusiastic in order to build relationships, but no matter how enthusiastic they were, no one really paid for gifts or anything.
It was okay to chat, but it was really annoying to have so many people talking endlessly.
Fortunately, the people who came here were all smart people, and they quickly let Li Qi go, not letting him be the one who attracted bad feelings.
Seeing this, the prefect clapped his hands: "How can we always chat? Let's eat first, and we can chat while eating!"
Everyone answered yes, and then the banquet began.
As the prefect made a gesture, the maids who were serving beside him moved, began to pick up dishes and pour wine, and serve the guests.
In addition to the maids, a row of girls came out, dressed in gorgeous clothes and made up, like willows and flying flowers. Looking far away, they all had beautiful faces, as if they were fairies.
Dozens of dancers bowed and danced together, with respectful postures, and then stood in groups, each wearing a long-sleeved palace dress, graceful and graceful, with delicate faces, lotus steps and gentle voices.
After sitting down, they began to play music slowly and dance slowly. Seven or eight girls were like butterflies flying through flowers, each doing their own thing.
First there were musicians, a row of beauties, some played and some blew, straightened their sleeves, slowly stretched out their slender hands, tasted the jade flute, knocked the sandalwood board, held the jade harp, and sang melodiously and played in tune, and the music was endless.
Then there were the dancers, who were happy to hear the elegant music, and the dancing girls, with flying skirts, lifting their clothes and sleeves, appeared or disappeared, and laughed loudly.
Sometimes there were bluebirds crying, elegant music and tunes, and then there were girls dancing in the field, as if they were floating in the wind.
When the young dancers get close, sometimes they feel cool all over, like ice jade in midsummer, helping people calm the fire in their abdomens, but the cooler they are, the bigger the fire becomes.
Sometimes, their skin is very warm, like spring, making people angry.
The girls are like seagulls flying through flowers, and the treasures are also shining brightly, dancing with the girls. Under the lights, there are thousands of colorful clouds, rippling with them, and countless lights are lit, which is beautiful, like stars hanging down, like colorful clouds, flickering.
There is music again, and the beauties and the countless treasures placed before are driven at the same time, like a piece of crystal, gorgeous and full of eyes, I don’t know where to look.
Suddenly, the huge coral in the center of the hall just now suddenly shook, and countless flower buds grew on it.
The bright flowers bloomed, with five colors, and they were as big as a bucket.
In the blooming flowers, a beauty appeared in each flower heart, in various postures, playing the jade flute, or stroking the jade harp, or blowing the jade flute. In an instant, the fragrant wind spread, and the ground was full of flowers. There were butterflies like orioles, flying among the flowers, shining like a pile of brocade.
In an instant, the whole hall seemed to be added with special effects, with light spots flying, petals scattered, and butterflies interspersed among them.
A closer look at these butterflies, but they are all small beauties, each carved out of jade, except for the size and the butterfly wings behind them, they are no different from humans, and they are also extremely beautiful, naked, dodging in the air, making people not very real, but arousing the desire to grab them, hold them in your hands, and take a closer look at their bodies.
Li Qi was very surprised.
At this time, the maid beside him said at the right time: "Sir, please look, this thing is made by Tang Guolidao, from the East China Sea, it is called 'Mirage Tree', it can emit a phantom like a real person, it is perfect for banquets and entertainment."
Li Qi nodded, indicating that he understood.
This thing... if used on the battlefield, is it holographic invisibility?
It's a bit of a waste for the governor to use it for entertainment.
In addition to these, the many delicacies on the table also made him dazzled.
This made Li Qi sigh.
The boatmen and these superiors really have a different life.
While enjoying the singing and dancing, they also tasted the food.
Li Qi found that he had never seen most of the food on the table...
Long before the banquet, the piles of slaves had already laid out the tableware, which was very ancient and interesting. There were no plates or other things, but the wine cups, wine bottles, wine jars, and wine cups that Li Qi often saw in sacrifices.
There was even a small bronze tripod in front of each table, in which an unknown meat was cooked, emitting a fragrant aroma.
On the table, there were all gold and lacquerware.
The carvings were red lacquer, the workmanship was exquisite, the wood base was red, and it was decorated with gold skin.
As for the food, it was really a hundred kinds of delicacies and exotic delicacies.
Li Qi knew all kinds of meat, such as cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, pigs, fish, donkeys and horses.
In addition, there were more things that tasted better but could not be identified, which should be some rare ingredients.
But just looking at the organs of these creatures, there were wings, feet, fins and scales, and it was obvious that they were from all kinds of habitats.
This banquet clearly caught all the creatures flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, and all the beautiful things from all over the world were stewed into delicacies.
There were so many delicious dishes, the maids took turns to hold the cups, the wine and fruits were arranged, the table was full of delicious wine, and the clear songs and dances were like a fairy day.
But Li Qi still politely refused the maid who wanted to come up and pour wine and pick up dishes for him.
He still felt it was not good, and besides, Shen Shuibi was still next to him.
Seeing his eyes, the maid knew what was going on, and quickly withdrew to leave a place for Shen Shuibi.
Shen Shuibi was not polite either, she sat next to Li Qi and began to instruct him how to eat.
Li Qi picked up a piece of meat that he didn't know what it was, and she explained.
"This is Feiyi, which looks like a quail, with a yellow body and a red beak. Eating it can kill the poisonous insects in your body. When you walk in the mountains, you can get some of it. It's good to eat it to get rid of hidden diseases."
"Don't eat that, it's Danmu, it tastes good, but eating one can make you full for three days, save it for the end."
"This is a sauce made from sedge, you can dip it in it, and it can make people feel less sad. It's placed at the banquet in case anyone of you is in a bad mood, but don't eat too much, it's easy to lose your composure."
"This is a 鸸, eating its meat can prevent people from having nightmares, and it can also ward off evil spirits. Eat more, you have been entered by the evil spirits of the two sixth-grade demons, I'm afraid there will be sequelae."
"The round one, yes, that's the one, it's the fruit of the cup wood, if people eat it, they can increase their strength, you have martial arts skills, you can eat more."
Li Qi listened while picking up chopsticks, and sometimes used a knife and fork, picking up useful things to eat.
He not only ate himself, but also picked up what Shen Shuibi wanted, so that everyone at the table praised him for being kind to his servants and Shen Shuibi for her beauty and understanding.
Hearing these compliments, Li Qi looked at them again and found that, as expected, the maids only served but did not eat a single bit.
Although these people praised Li Qi for his kindness, no one seemed to follow his example, which showed that they still did not care about it.
After the meal, there was another round of greetings.
After so long, Li Qi began to get a little tired of this endless flattery.
Don't these people need to practice?
How did they enter the rank?
This lasted for a while, and about an hour later, Li Qi suddenly felt that the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Okay, we have arrived at the place, and our opportunity has also arrived. Will you go with us, sir?" At this time, the governor suddenly said with a smile and looked at Li Qi.
"Of course we will go together." Li Qi bowed and looked at these guests. They all suddenly didn't care about the beauties and delicacies. They all stood up and rushed outside quickly.
Even the governor stood up and walked side by side with Li Qi: "Young Master is generous and gave me an opportunity. Alas, we all owe you a favor."
Ah?
Li Qi didn't understand.
However, when you don't understand, you should pretend.
He immediately replied: "You don't have to be polite, Governor."
"Haha! Young Master is indeed a person sent by the big door. He is so generous! I will express my gratitude when I come back. I won't delay here. Young Master can wait for us here. After that, we will go to the state capital together!" The governor laughed, then ran out in a hurry and disappeared in front of Li Qi.
Li Qi was a little confused.
However, he also got out of the carriage.
Then, he understood.
Why are these people so diligent, and why does the governor also want to please him.
Because the place where they appeared was not a city, but the previous battlefield!
On the battlefield, there is a round mirror, which is a hundred miles in radius.
This is the trace of the great fortune teller who suppressed the cursed demon bear and killed the two demon kings. This finger pressed the hundred miles of land into a mirror-like smoothness, but if you look closely, you can see the fingerprints on it.
Now, those big shots that Li Qi once thought were high and mighty are all sticking their butts out, desperately observing the fingerprints on it, and even fighting for it, discussing with each other, and being very excited.
The greetings with Li Qi just now seemed to have been suppressed for a long time.
"Ah! So that's it!" Shen Shuibi next to him suddenly knocked his head and suddenly realized.
"Those with advanced cultivation have their own Tao charm in their bodies. They come here for the fingerprints left by the divination!" Shen Shuibi also realized.
Wow, for these people of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, a fingerprint left by a big divination is probably an adventure and resource that they can hardly find in this life!
However, they were afraid that coming over without permission would offend Dabu, so they brought Li Qi with them, so that even if Dabu sensed it, he wouldn't make an attack.
Li Qi smiled bitterly, thinking that these people were sycophants, but in the end they all came prepared. Was he... being wrapped up again?
Alas, I have suffered the loss of being uneducated.
"...Forget it, if we let them go now, we probably won't be able to drive them away. Why don't we recoup our losses? Miss Shen, you are also a fifth-grade person. Why don't you go check it out?" Li Qi immediately decided to stop the loss.
Dabu fingerprints, you can use them, but I can’t?
"I can't use it. The fortune-teller's cultivation is weaker than that of the empress, but I have studied the Taoist charms on the empress day and night in detail. This fingerprint is of no use to me."
With that said, Shen Shuibi began to explain.
For Empress Luofu or the unknown fortune teller, their existence can modify the 'Tao' of a world, and their small world of human bodies can already tamper with reality.
Their beards and hair, even just a fingerprint, are all external manifestations of this "Tao Yun". Although it is only a very superficial point, less than one trillionth of their true connotation, for those with low cultivation level, If you just take a look at it, you will benefit a lot and your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds.
The officials and prefects in front of them are probably all witches, so the fingerprints are very useful to them.
But Shen Shuibi, as the orthodox Taoist priest, and Empress Luofu herself have been available for her to consult at any time for thousands of years, these are meaningless to her.
It's like... owls will fight for dead mice, but phoenixes only eat solid ones.
This is the difference.
