Chapter 269: Talisman

Li Qi's reaction seemed to surprise the great witch and the Minister of the Honglu Temple, but the banquet had already begun, so they didn't say much.

Everyone still remembered what happened before, and there were even video records, but everything was "reset".

Except for the memory, everything seemed to have never happened.

The banquet officially started, and everyone ate normally.

Everything before had been recorded, and Li Qi had seen the corresponding news in the terminal.

The title of the news was: "The Master of Wushen Mountain and the students of the Imperial College had a friendly exchange, and both sides fought to a draw, showing the gentleman's demeanor"

There were also videos and photos of himself and others, but there was no three against hundreds, only the moment when Liu Junyi and the three of them collided and were evenly matched.

The scene of three against hundreds only existed in the text record, and this part of the video was cut.

Although there was no concealment of the facts, there was still some selfishness in it.

Start eating, put aside other things for the time being, after all, this is also a diplomatic state banquet, and the Minister of the Honglu Temple has personally come out, so there is no need to worry about other trivial matters.

However, while eating, Li Qi was also using some means to contact Yan Ke and Boyue who were sitting not far away.

The three of them ate and chatted expressionlessly.

"Did you feel anything special?" Li Qi asked first.

"Yes, I felt a special cosmic light, but... it was different from what I had mastered." Yan Ke replied.

His tone was a little confused, as if he didn't know how to explain it.

Boyue also said at this time: "It is a special cosmic light, and it is different from Yan Ke's. It is a bit similar to... me?"

"You?" Li Qi was surprised.

But he immediately remembered that Boyue actually had similar means.

Boyue's Tao rhyme, 'demon seed'.

"Wait, if it is similar to your demon seed, then it is to go back in time?" Li Qi recalled and realized what he felt.

Boyue's demon seed can 'cut off' the possibility of a period of time, and then develop naturally in it. If the development is in line with Boyue's wishes, he can determine that this period of time is true, and then everything that happened in the demon seed will become true.

If the development does not meet his expectations, he can cut off everything that happened and turn everything into an illusion. Except for the memory, other things seem to have never happened.

Li Qi ate a magic seed at the beginning. If Shen Shuibi hadn't reminded him, he would have almost not woken up.

"In other words, the refresh just now is a method similar to the magic seed. We have all been traced back?" Li Qi asked the other two for their opinions.

"I didn't. I felt very dangerous at the time. I opened the world barrier of the small world. This thing can't trace back the special cosmic light, but... the arrangement above is a little damaged. I'm afraid it will take half a year to recover." Yan Ke replied.

"I was traced back, but it's nothing, right? When I used the magic seed, I traced myself back every day." Boyue said.

Li Qi also said: "I also used some means to prevent myself from being traced back. I always feel very dangerous."

"It's my personal feeling. I'll ask the great witch and see what he says. After all, it should be them who did it." Boyue responded while chewing meat.

"By the way, did you use the magic seed on Liu Junyi?" Li Qi suddenly remembered something.

The activation of the magic seed is just a moment, and it ends in a moment. Others will not feel anything special, and there is no trace except for the memory.

"It was used, but it was ineffective. His Tao heart was flawless. He did not notice the existence of the magic seed, but he remained steadfast until the end. Even after it ended, I couldn't trace it back." Boyue said this with a helpless tone.

"There are such people? I have heard about your magic seed. Can someone be so strong?" Yanke was surprised.

"I heard about it again. How come you have heard about everything? Please don't do anything that is not good for your face? You are like a gossip all day long." Boyue was angry.

Yanke smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Li Qi laughed, and then stopped talking, just memorized Liu Junyi's appearance.

This should be the real genius of Tangguo.

All this happened in the mind. In reality, the three of them sat in their respective seats and enjoyed this delicious meal.

It was indeed delicious. This meal was extremely luxurious.

The staple food alone includes millet, millet, rice, sorghum, and yellow sorghum.

Orangutan lips, roasted badger.

Junyan jade, Shudang's stalks.

The promise of the elephant, the tendons of the real dragon.

Many rare treasures are on the table.

Condiments include pickled meat, roasted meat, mustard sauce, Polygonum, ginger, pepper, salt, soy sauce, glutinous rice, honey, etc.

Much better than what Li Qi bought himself.

But... Li Qi doesn't quite understand.

Humanity seems to have a special hobby of enslaving or torturing real dragons.

Whether it is the dragon car for himself and others to ride, or the dragon tendons in his mouth now, it is the same.

Is it because of the war with the East China Sea?

But even if they are fighting each other, why do they hate each other to this extent? Wushen Mountain and Tang Kingdom also have conflicts, but they don't eat each other's meat.

Moreover, these things remind Li Qi of something.

About... the young dragon soul on the attacker after he was attacked in Baiyue.

Is there any contact?

I'll just write it down for now.

Thinking about this, the time of the banquet passed quickly.

After eating and drinking, all the ceremonies were carried out normally until late at night, when the banquet was over.

Everyone left.

Li Qi and the other four also joined the Great Witch and left with him.

They returned all the way and came to their car.

In the car, the Great Witch naturally opened his small world, blocking all possible prying.

Then, before Li Qi and others asked, he nodded: "Young Master Qi, Young Master Ke, you two did a good job."

Li Qi and Yan Ke looked at each other, and then they both bowed and asked in unison: "Where is it?"

"Today's cosmic light retracing, you two used means to resist, which is good." The Great Witch found a place to sit down and said to the four people.

Boyue's expression immediately became solemn.

What's strange about this cosmic light retracing?

"Don't worry, it's harmless to you, and it doesn't matter to Young Master Yue." The Great Witch said casually, and then stretched out his hand to grab Li Qi and Yan Ke.

Li Qi and Yan Ke immediately felt something being drawn out of their bodies!

While drawing out, the Great Witch explained: "This kind of cosmic light retracing should be a very dangerous thing, just like Gongzi Ke's special cosmic light. If you are not used to it and get involved in it, many extremely strange things will happen to you, and it is easy to get into trouble. So when you encounter such a thing, you should try to avoid it or resist it like today."

"However, this is the magical power of the Minister of Honglu Temple after all, so it is within the controllable range and will not cause any harm to you. As for Gongzi Yue, he himself often uses the Dao Yun to retrace himself, and he has long had resistance, so there will be no harm."

Li Qi was confused, so he interrupted and asked: "Then why Why do you say we did a good job? "

"Being vigilant is a good quality, so I want to praise you."

"Especially Young Master Yue, even if your own Dao Yun is like this, if you encounter an unknown cosmic light backtracking, you must pay attention, otherwise you will die without knowing how."

"Moreover, this can prevent that guy's magical power from being fully utilized, resulting in incomplete backtracking, leaving causal clues, allowing me to trace the past and understand the basis of his surgical method."

"He had to show his skills, but he didn't expect that you, the eighth-rank juniors, had the means to resist, which caught him off guard, allowing me to take the initiative when facing him later." The Great Witch said with a smile.

The three of them immediately understood.

So, is this also one of the contents of the game between the bigwigs above?

Is it one of the ways for the Great Witch and the purple-robed nobleman to fight?

At this time, the Great Witch continued: "There is one more thing, which can be regarded as a reward for you."

As he said, his extraction action ended, and he drew out two... half-incomplete Dao Yuns?

Then, he took out two divine scrolls, introduced the two Dao rhymes into them respectively, and then used the spell to seal and carve them.

However, a mysterious fluctuation was faintly seen on it.

An unknown but dizzying character left a mark on it, and finally turned into two brand new talismans.

He handed one of them to Li Qi: "After all, it is just the remnant of the magical power, and it can only be used once, but after using it, you can trace back to yourself, the time is about a quarter of an hour, that is, you can retain your memory and restore your body to the state before a quarter of an hour, the effect is equivalent to the Honglu Temple Minister's personal performance, I set two trigger modes on it, one is you actively trigger, and the other is you trigger when you are dying."

"It's a life-saving thing, just right for you two." The witch said, and distributed the two talismans.

One for Li Qi and one for Yan Ke.

"What about mine? Where's mine?" Boyue raised his hand.

The witch ignored him.

Boyue put away his hand embarrassedly, pretending that he had never said it.

But Li Qi took the talisman and looked at it for a few times, then asked: "Great witch, has Zhong Minglou been traced back?"

As he said this, Li Qi glanced at Zhong Minglou next to him.

He still had that charlatan smile, and didn't say a word all night.

But the great witch said for him: "Don't worry about him, he has his own way."

After speaking, the great witch arranged three iron tokens: "By the way, except for Master Qi, the three of you come here, I will send you a human terminal. I have already made an introduction to this thing in it. You can use it yourself. Master Qi should already have it, so I won't care about you."

"Then, now there are more than 20 days before the start of the Imperial College. During this period, you can move freely. I have something to go. During this period, I will not be in Chang'an. If you have anything, please contact me through the terminal. Anyway, it consumes the power of the dragon vein. Don't waste it if you don't use it. Don't save it for them." The great witch said casually and sent the terminal out.

However, Li Qi, who was listening behind, was startled.

Wait, dragon vein.

His previous inertia of thinking made him not realize that there was anything special about the name of Dragon Vein.

But now he had just eaten a dragon tendon, watched a real dragon pulling a cart, and recalled a wave of young dragon souls he had met.

All of this was done by humanity.

Now, one of the foundations of humanity is called Dragon Vein?

Why not call it Human Vein?

Is there any deep meaning?

Fortunately, there was a great witch standing in front of him, so Li Qi waited for him to finish sending the terminal, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Great witch, I have something to ask you."

The great witch had finished explaining the matter and was about to do his own thing, but when he saw Li Qi coming up to ask questions, he stopped and said to him, "Hmm? What's the question, tell me."

For the Wushen Mountain Great Wizard, all the young masters are their juniors, so unless the two masters have a grudge, they are generally not too estranged.

"I want to ask why one of the foundations of humanity is called dragon veins." Li Qi asked with a bow.

The Great Wizard was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Haha! Good question, it seems that you noticed it, good, good."

However, after laughing, he shook his head: "But this matter cannot be said clearly, you are still too young, it is not good to know too much, as long as you know the name of this thing, you will definitely not call it wrong."

Li Qi got this answer, and his heart trembled, and then he immediately nodded.

Although he didn't say what happened, Li Qi had guessed a lot of things.

After saying this, the Great Wizard pondered for a while, obviously thinking about something.

After a few seconds, he seemed to have made up his mind, and then said to Li Qi: "However, you have thought of this level... Then in this case..."

"Don't act freely with them tonight, come with me, I will take you to a place to broaden your horizons. I see that you are familiar with the classics, and you have memorized almost all kinds of strange stories and miscellaneous talks, and you are quick-witted and good at summarizing intelligence and information. Let you see more things, which should be helpful for your growth."

"Yes." Li Qi immediately bowed and agreed.

The witch said it would help, then it must be helpful!

There was no need to care about anything else, Li Qi agreed without hesitation.

"Well, let's do it this way, each of you go to do your own thing, Li Qi will come with me later, and the others are free to do it. You can find your own place to live. As for money, you won't be short of money, right?" The witch asked.

In Li Qi's opinion, it is unlikely that other people will be short of money, because they look very straightforward when they agree.

Except Zhong Minglou.

Zhong Minglou just nodded slightly, and did not directly agree to anything.

To be honest, Li Qi was a little curious about the daily life of this charlatan. How did this kind of person usually eat, drink, defecate and urinate?

But since I had to go out with the Great Witch tonight, I'd better forget it. I'll go and see it later if I have a chance.

After a while, the dragon carriage arrived.

After arranging some trivial matters, everyone said goodbye and prepared to find a place to stay in Chang'an. After all, the Imperial Academy did not live on campus, and if you want to study, you have to find a place to live.

The four people separated.

Only Li Qi followed the Great Witch.

The Great Witch waved his hand: "Let's go, follow me, I'll tell you the details on the way."

"By the way, Master Qi, Senior Yun Fang told me about you, saying that you look like his disciple."

When Li Qi heard this name, he immediately remembered who it was.

Senior Yun Fang, the person who came to Baiyue with the teacher to pick him up.
