Chapter 505: Visiting Zhu Fengdan

It was only a few days before they arrived at Lieshu.

Li Qi found a "traveler" in Lieshu.

Traveler, like Zhuren and Bu Ren, is a type of witch, and also a position of official.

Traveler, in the early days of the country, officials were not sent out. Whenever there was something, they would send a traveler to take charge of the job. Whenever they were ordered to send a traveler, they would say "obey the order" and when they came back, they would say "report the order".

Obviously, the duties of a traveler are very simple, that is, running errands. Correspondingly, they also mastered many methods of fast movement, and their combat capabilities are not low. They are a very powerful lineage.

Running errands is not simple, and the status is not low. Although it is called running errands, the formal description should be "handling external affairs". They are formal field staff and are the most trusted firefighters of the clan members.

He gave three letters and a mustard bag to the traveler and asked him to take them to Chang'an.

One of the three letters was given to Cooking Sea Pot, and the mustard bag was given to Brother Pot. It contained all the ingredients and some remaining treasures.

Unfortunately, some of these treasures were consumed when Li Qi was fighting, but most of them were still left, so they were all returned in their original form. He couldn't think of taking advantage of others.

He only took a part of it as a reward for the passers-by. After all, they were delivering goods to him, so it shouldn't be a problem to give more, right?

The second letter was to the people of Luofu Mountain in Chang'an, asking them to withdraw and return to Wushen Mountain, and to cash out Li Qi's shares in Wuqi Silkworm. From then on, Wuqi Silkworm had nothing to do with him, so as not to implicate Liu Canzhi and others.

The third letter was to Liu Canzhi, explaining to him the things that would be separated from each other.

When writing the third letter, Li Qi truly understood what it meant to "not be on the same path, not to make plans together".

He and Liu Canzhi had no personal conflicts, and they had a good relationship. They also appreciated each other and were good friends. During the years of studying in Chang'an, they had been very happy in their cooperation with Wuqi Silkworm.

However, different paths.

Just these three words, no matter how good the relationship was, they could only be strangers in the future, leading to war.

However... the three words "different paths" cannot be described as "only". This is the biggest disagreement. All personal friendships seem so insignificant in front of these three words.

Imagine that if Liu Canzhi went to the Holy Flame Realm, then the Holy Flame Realm would probably be a slave world now. This is a fundamental difference in worldview. Although everyone gets along well now, there are always some ideas that will cause differences.

This kind of disagreement will always tear apart friendships over time.

Let's not talk about these things. After writing three letters, Li Qi paid the reward to the passerby and asked the other party to deliver it.

The passerby naturally agreed seriously. After all, it was a commission from a young master, and the reward was generous, so it must be taken seriously.

Although Chang'an is far away, for a passerby who specializes in this kind of thing, it is only about ten days to go back and forth, which is nothing.

After doing all this, Li Qi, Shen Shuibi, and Lao Ma started the constellations.

In just a moment, they arrived at Wushen Mountain.

Wushen Mountain is still as peaceful as ever. Everyone does their own things, making friends, playing, working, practicing, studying, doing their own jobs, and doing their own things.

The whole world is in order, and it runs in a natural and most appropriate way.

Everyone has his own position, everyone has his own task, and everyone completes his own things, so the world runs smoothly and for a long time.

This is the world that witches pursue. Heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts all have their own positions. If this naturally formed avenue continues, the source of heaven and earth can be strengthened, so that all things can reach the point of self-sufficiency and form a perfect internal cycle. Even everyone can "create something out of nothing". Everyone, like the great witches, can generate what they need out of thin air, just like the world itself.

What Wudao pursues is the world itself.

The world itself is already perfect, and you just need to get close to such perfection and maintain such perfection.

As for the stupid talk of transcending the world...

How to transcend?

You transcend a small world, such as those worlds of the ninth and eighth grades floating outside the domain. Some of them transcend a small world and come to the outside.

Then what is outside is not the world?

You continue to transcend upwards, breaking through one world after another, transcending endlessly upwards, ascending countless times, breaking one box after another.

So what?

Which one of these infinite boxes inside boxes is not the ‘world’?

You transcend infinitely many times, breaking through infinite boxes, and in the end, you are still in the world, even you yourself, from beginning to end, are a part of the world, forever.

The world can never be transcended. It is said to be transcending by ascending, but in fact, it is just a small shackle that is transcended. That is just that you have just seen a newer and bigger world, which is also a part of the world.

What Wudao has to do is to approach the boundary of the infinite world and achieve the perfection of the human body and the real world. Before that, it is enough to maintain the laws that the world should have and mediate all things.

This is the dream pursued by Wudao, and the ultimate goal of the entire Taoism, to pursue the ultimate harmony between the human body and nature, and the great source of heaven and earth is extremely powerful.

This is the real nature.

Nature has never been an animal or plant. It refers to the universe itself, all time, all space, and there is nothing outside of it. Even if you transcend time itself, but... your own movement, doesn't it still have your own time?

You can never surpass yourself, so nature is the ultimate pursuit. There is nothing higher than this. If there is, it is also part of nature.

Li Qi now has a deep enough understanding of Wu Dao, so when he saw Wushen Mountain, he couldn't help but sigh at the grand pursuit of Wu Dao.

Wu Dao is like this, then what is the ultimate pursuit of other places in the world?

He knows about the human way. The human way wants to conquer everything and replace heaven with man.

In addition, he doesn't know about other Taoist traditions.

There are still many things to learn.

Thinking of this, Li Qi took a deep breath in the hinterland of Wushen Mountain.

Hmm... This kind of pure, high-quality air, even Luofu Mountain seems inferior.

Mortals can easily live to 200 years just by living in such a place. If they are willing to practice, entering the realm of cultivation is as easy as eating. This is the benefit of the great source of heaven and earth being strong.

"Li Qi, where are we going now?" At this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly said to the dazed Li Qi.

"Ah? Where?" Li Qi reacted from his sighing contemplation, and then smiled: "To the teacher's cave, he should be waiting for us now."

"Da Zhu's cave? Yes, it's time to pay a visit. Until now, I haven't formally paid a visit to Da Zhu. It's really a bit rude. I should make up for it this time." Shen Shuibi nodded.

However, when she nodded, she remembered the incident when she was caught by Zhu Fengdan.

Zhu Fengdan caught her and planned to use the induction of Shen Shuibi and Luofu Niangniang to finally find Luofu Niangniang and hold the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron in his hand.

At that time, Zhu Fengdan... was not very polite. He directly grabbed Ding Si, tied him behind his back, and dragged him away.

Shen Shuibi still hasn't figured it out. Why did he have to drag her behind when he could have just flown her away...

However, she had heard that Li Qi's master was a weirdo, so it was no surprise that he did weird things.

But no matter what, she was a disciple's wife after all, so it was time for her to pay her respects to the master.

In the world of practitioners, the word "master" is almost the same as "father", and it can even be said to be more important.

Your parents only gave you life, but your master will pass on the Tao to you.

What is life in front of the Tao?

So the etiquette in front of the master is the most important. Shen Shuibi has not taken the initiative to pay her respects for so long, which is indeed rude.

"Don't worry about these, the teacher... well, how should I put it, I guess he won't care too much about these. Although etiquette is important, there is no need to take it too seriously. It's okay to be casual." Li Qi said.

"Okay." Shen Shuibi agreed without hesitation.

This is also her character.

Since Li Qi said it's okay to be casual, then just be casual. She listened to it.

As for doubts... ? Or do it on your own?

No need, that's Li Qi's master, treat him as Li Qi says, and he doesn't understand.

Li Qi also knew Shen Shuibi's straightforwardness in this regard, so he didn't stop after he finished talking, but continued to introduce Zhu Fengdan's style of doing things to her.

From hobbies, being a person, to small hobbies, and some special rumors.

Shen Shuibi listened carefully, absorbed information, and considered how to face Zhu Fengdan.

However, as she listened... she felt that something was wrong.

"Li Qi, so your master..." Shen Shuibi's expression was a little subtle, and she didn't know how to describe it.

Is there really such a rebellious person in this world?

If so, how did he practice to this day? With this appearance, it must be extremely difficult to practice.

However... the other party is a third-grade, so there must be another deep meaning for being so wild. It should be that I am not very experienced and can't appreciate the mystery.

"In fact, it's still very normal at first glance, and it won't be too rude, don't worry." Li Qi comforted her.

In fact, he was almost used to it, it depends on whether Shen Shuibi can get used to it.

Fortunately, Rabbit has always been a calm and stable person. After nodding slightly, he accepted the reality.

After all, no matter how strange he is, he is Li Qi's master, and he is also a third-grade great blessing, at the same level as Luofu Niangniang. He is indeed an elder who should be respected.

Chatting like this, the two rode on the old horse and flew for about two days. Finally, they arrived at Zhu Fengdan's cave.

How to tell that it is Zhu Fengdan's cave?

It's very simple. There is not even grass growing here.

It's a bare mountain. Next to it, other places are all kinds of spiritual and beautiful. Not to mention the blessed land, at least it is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Only this place is bare and dead, where birds don't shit and insects don't crawl. It's obvious that it is never taken care of on weekdays.

Besides, even if it is never taken care of, according to the strength of the great source of heaven and earth near Wushen Mountain, even the seeds blown by the wind can be lush and green, not so bald.

Seemingly seeing Shen Shuibi's doubts, Li Qi smiled and explained: "The teacher has collected a lot of strange things at home, and he is too lazy to seal them, let alone preserve them properly, so the energy of these things is mixed together, intertwined and fused, forming a special "position" around. Even if I stay in it, I feel a little breathless, and ordinary life is impossible to survive in it, so this place looks so desolate."

"Uh... If you don't preserve it well, even the best spiritual objects will leak their power, right? Besides, many treasures are mixed together, each of which affects each other, and it will also affect the use and lifespan..." Shen Shuibi glanced at the orchid in her arms and couldn't help but worry.

"There's nothing I can do. The teacher doesn't care much about this kind of thing. I just said that those things are not his at all... He got them from various places by some unknown means, so naturally he doesn't care much." Li Qi shook his head.

But he immediately thought of something and patted Shen Shuibi on the shoulder: "But don't worry, with the teacher's personality, it is highly likely that we will not stay for dinner. It will only take two or three hours. After that, we will come out by ourselves. It won't take too long."

"Well, okay." Shen Shuibi was relieved after hearing this.

In this way, Granny Lan will at least not feel uncomfortable for too long. Two or three hours will basically not have any impact.

After discussing it, the two people and the dragon entered.

Then, it was the darkness that Li Qi was familiar with.

The surroundings seemed to have escaped into the endless void outside the domain. There was nothing and nothing existed.

But not long after, buildings began to emerge around. It was a hall that looked like a ruin. It had not been taken care of for a long time. Dust was everywhere. It was hard to imagine that the residence of a powerful person would be like this.

Because for dust removal, they only need a thought to achieve permanent dust-free. They were too lazy to even think about it. It can be seen what the situation is...

Li Qi walked in front, Shen Shuibi followed behind Li Qi, and Lao Ma shrank his body and hid on Li Qi's shoulder, and walked inside together.

Shen Shuibi held the orchid and looked around curiously.

There were countless... rare treasures on the square outside the hall.

Those were really rare treasures. Shen Shuibi had a good eye. There were many third- and fourth-grade treasures among them, but these things were piled there like garbage, and no one cleaned them up. Even the living spiritual herbs looked wilted.

Li Qi was no longer surprised, so he knocked on the door of the hall directly: "Teacher, we are here!"

After knocking on the door, he waited for a while and heard Zhu Fengdan's voice from the hall: "Oh! You are here, why bring a gift! Why are you so polite? Then I will be disrespectful~"

As she said that, Shen Shuibi suddenly felt a huge force coming from the orchid in her hand, and it was snatched away from her arms!

With a swish, the rabbit's eyes were red!
