Myriad Paths

Chapter 527 Jade in the Stone

Shen Shuibi used to be suspicious, especially when she felt insecure.

When she was in Luofu Mountain, and when she and Li Qi were fighting against Monk Chanzhi, she felt particularly insecure at that time. She even felt anxious for a while. After going berserk, she went to the mortal gang to find people, and eventually dominated a large underground gangster gang in Guangyang and became a "horse king".

Li Qi touched the rabbit's head and said, "Don't worry, who can do anything to me? You see, my spiritual perception is stronger than yours, right? I don't have any ominous premonitions, just wait for me to come back, it's nothing more than a year or two, it's just a blink of an eye for us."

"That's right, but now is a time of trouble. All the major sects know that a war is about to break out, and they should restrain themselves. My spiritual perception is not as good as yours, so I should be too worried." Shen Shuibi rested her forehead on Li Qi's shoulder: "Then you go and come back quickly, Shi Wei is too lively, I'm a little...unable to bear it."

The child is too lively, and the rabbit likes to be quiet and not active, so naturally it feels very difficult to take care of the child.

In fact, compared to Li Qi's unrestrained pampering, Rabbit often wants to take care of the naughty child. If Li Qi leaves, the little rabbit may be beaten by his mother.

"Okay, I'll go and come back as quickly as possible. After all, this trip is just to verify a guess, and it won't take much time." Li Qi nodded.

After speaking, the two separated and began to do their own things. Shen Shuibi had her own business, so she continued to practice in the secret room.

When Li Qi was about to leave, he went down to find Li Shiwei and play with the child.

He couldn't leave quietly.

Li Qi came down quietly, but saw that Li Shiwei was leaning on the head of Niuhuang Mountain God, and there was a smooth and round stone next to her.

She seemed to be tired of the game of leading troops to fight, and now she was listening to Niuhuang telling stories with the stone.

Niuhuang Mountain God stood beside the stone and talked about some things in the mountain.

In fact, it was not a very interesting story. Li Qi knew all about it. It was just the family affairs in the mountains, a fight between a certain family and a certain family, a confrontation between a human village and a demon's lair for a piece of land, and all kinds of scheming stories, and which family had a promising person, and what that promising person did.

They were all gossips without any nutrition. Li Qi didn't like them very much. He preferred to talk about things that had a substantial impact on the path.

But Li Shiwei didn't like these. She preferred to listen to Niu Huang talking about meaningless words and wasting time.

But...

That's all. She was only half a year old.

Li Qi walked forward.

Niu Huang sensed Li Qi's arrival and immediately stopped telling the story, then lowered his head: "Hello, Zhu Ren! I am a little rude, please..."

"It's okay, I know Shiwei's temperament, and I am happy that you have a good relationship." Li Qi waved his hand, pulled him up, and then looked at Li Shiwei who was pouting.

The little girl was very unhappy because her father interrupted her story time, just like browsing Weibo to find new gossip, but she saw her father coming halfway.

"You guys continue, I'll listen too." Li Qi smiled and sat next to him.

"It's all useless gossip, I'm afraid..." Niu Huang was anxious and quickly explained.

But at this time, the stone suddenly vibrated, and then made a sound through this vibration: "If everything is useful, wouldn't you be exhausted to death?"

This made Li Qi laugh, he couldn't hold it back, and laughed: "Haha, you stone talk interestingly, but it's a pity that you are too useless in doing things. If you use your mind, why are you still a monster? You have become a monster long ago."

But the stone replied: "I don't want to transform, nor do I want to go the demon path. I'm fine staying here. If it comes to cultivation, I prefer the witch path!"

"You stupid stone, you have to learn to read before you go any way. You still can't even understand the skills, what are you going for!" Li Shiwei slapped the stone and laughed.

Then, the little girl ran to Li Qi and got into his arms, smiling and said to Li Qi: "Father, why did you come here suddenly?"

She was afraid of her mother, but not her father, mainly because Li Qi spoiled her too much, so that he had no dignity in front of the little girl.

Li Qi wiped her face, wiped off the dead grass on it, and then said: "I will be away for a while after today. You and your mother will be here by yourself. Remember to be obedient. No one will support you now, and you will be beaten."

As soon as he said this, the little girl was terrified and climbed directly onto Li Qi's shoulders: "Father...! Where are you going? Can you not go?"

"Can I not go? Guess?" Li Qi asked back.

This time she was stunned.

The stone next to her laughed loudly, making a dongdongdong sound, and the Niuhuang Mountain God lowered his head, hoping that this matter would not involve him.

Li Qi thought she would cry, just like all children who did not get the answer they wanted, and began to roll and cry and beg their parents to accommodate themselves.

However, she stayed still for a while, then suddenly frowned, touched her nose with one hand, and her whole face was tense, obviously she was lost in thought.

The Niuhuang Mountain God was stunned by what he saw next.

He had seen this expression on Zhuren Li Qi more than once. Every time he encountered trouble, Li Qi would make a similar move, which meant that he was lost in thought.

Li Shiwei's expression was almost exactly the same.

It seemed that Li Qi had seen this action for the first time. He was a little surprised, but he did not speak. Instead, he slowed down his heartbeat and movements, and at the same time cast a magic spell to block the surrounding sounds.

She was thinking.

Although this naughty child is only half a year old, when she encounters the problem of "probably being beaten", her first reaction is to meditate and think of a solution instead of rolling on the ground and crying.

So, Li Qi created a quiet space for her.

He suddenly realized something.

Everyone has their own way. Although he often talks about this sentence, he has never had such thoughts about his daughter. He has always been thinking about how to guide her to a good path.

Now, he seemed to have discovered something.

What he wants to do is not to think for his daughter, but to help her block out the noise around her when she is thinking.

So……

This should be what Zhu Fengdan wants to do, right?

Li Qi suddenly realized and looked at Li Shiwei intently.

The little girl, like her parents, was completely immersed in her own world of thinking, and she hadn't realized that the noise around her had subsided.

It was as if Li Qi didn't realize how much noise Zhu Fengdan had blocked for him unknowingly.

Yeah?

Is this the case?

Is this...the feeling of my father?

When Li Qi was thinking this, Li Shiwei next to him suddenly raised his head: "Then I understand, father, I want to go with you to what... Xitian!"

"This is not a good word... But forget it, is this the way you thought of?" Li Qi asked: "What do you think?"

"Well, I don't dare to offend my mother, but I feel that I can't help but make her angry. Then I might as well go with you. Then my mother will definitely not be angry. Father, you are never angry, and I will not be beaten. To everyone Isn't it good?" Li Shiwei said her judgment very logically.

"Well, from your point of view, that's indeed the case, but why should I bring you with me?" Li Qi asked again.

This question and answer reminded him of the question and answer Zhu Fengdan had with him in the past.

When he first thought about "I am me", Zhu Fengdan impatiently enlightened him about "I am me". Zhu Fengdan did not give any answers, but kept asking questions throughout the process, using various cases to answer questions.

Now that I think about it, this approach is actually a bit risky. It is actually denying Li Qi's wrong idea and guiding him towards his own answer.

But this is the fastest.

With the improvement of his cultivation, status and vision, Li Qi seemed to be able to understand the Riddlers more and more, so much so that he seemed to be becoming a Riddler himself.

It's all reincarnation.

The predecessors are the disciples of the successors. No one is special. They all come here. In the dark continent, the predecessors have paved a road with their bones. All you have to do is not go astray.

Of course, it’s okay to go astray. Maybe you can find a new path? But generally speaking, the consequences of going astray are not very good.

Only when you reach the front, the front, the front, and there are no more corpses to pave the way for you, then...you have to truly face this dark and vast continent and move forward.

Maybe it becomes the next skeleton to pave the way, maybe... it leads to a smooth road.

Li Qi was thinking about these things. After seventy years of hard work, he was no longer a fool.

You and my daughter asked each other, and I kept asking each other, watching the little cutie keep thinking, so that her head began to turn red. It was obvious that her brain power was running to the extreme, and she was starting to feel dizzy.

She had just thought of more than a dozen ways to persuade Li Qi to stay or take her with her. She spoke clearly and logically, but unfortunately, nothing worked, so much so that her brain was almost short-circuited.

So, Li Qi rubbed her forehead, then picked her up, put his hands under his armpits, picked her up, and said: "Okay, I will definitely not take you on the trip to the West, but I will I’ll bring you something small, tell me, what do you want?”

"Then, can you bring me some medicine?" Li Shiwei looked at Li Qi pitifully.

Li Qi sneered: "You are still pretending to be pitiful. Your mother has the most medicine for wounds. She can also keep making new ones and wrapping them up."

Then, he put Li Shiwei on Niuhuang's back: "Then you continue to play, and I will leave first."

"Congratulations." Niuhuang saluted immediately.

The stone didn't talk about any etiquette, but immediately began to laugh at Li Shiwei for being beaten. Li Shiwei was so angry that he hit her with a kick. She was already at the ninth level of combat power, and the stone almost kicked her into the sky. She rolled down the cliff. Go down.

Bezoar was horrified. Although the stone had become a spirit, it had no cultivation level, so it wouldn't be broken into pieces!

Although a spirit like a stone will not die even if it is broken into pieces, without the body, it may be difficult to follow the path in the future.

He quickly ran towards the bottom.

Li Qi also hurried over to take a look. He was faster, the bezoar was still running, and he had already caught up with Shi Shi.

But I saw that there was a crack on the stone.

Fortunately it didn't break.

Li Shiwei rode on Bezoar's back and followed quickly. Her face turned pale. She was very smart and knew that she was really going to be beaten now.

On the other hand, even though the stone was broken, he didn't seem to feel any pain. Instead, he made a confused voice in a muffled voice: "Huh? What's going on? Uh, I feel so awake."

"What do you mean by awake? Are you okay?" Niuhuang Mountain God came forward first and used his horns to push against Shitou to test whether his body was broken.

Shitou asked instead: "Mountain God, what did you teach me this morning? Do you remember?"

"My morning? I taught you "Bei" this morning. What's wrong? Why are you asking this? How is your body?" Niuhuang asked.

"I remember that there is a sentence in it, 'closing the door is called Kun, opening the door is called Qian. It is also said: Heaven and earth are positioned, and mountains and lakes are ventilated. Evil is life. Jia's trip to the east is where things are born, so the number starts with it', right? See if it is written like this?"

Shitou said, and began to draw strokes on the ground with vibration.

Others were surprised to see that Shitou actually wrote the right words.

Is there such a thing?

Niuhuang Mountain God, who had taught Shitou to write for hundreds of years, widened his eyes and was speechless with surprise. He could only look at Li Qi, hoping to get some inspiration from here.

What's going on? Did he raise his IQ after falling?

Li Qi, on the other hand, suddenly realized something.

Although he didn't have true knowledge now, his eyesight was not bad, so he walked forward and struck with a knife.

In Niu Huang's horrified eyes, Li Qi directly split the stone into pieces!

Zhu people dote on their daughters like this? ! This stone just said two words, but it was killed directly! ?

Niu Huang was scared to death, but he saw the stone cracked and burst out a burst of precious light. Among the countless broken stones, there was a piece of beautiful jade.

This piece of beautiful jade kept vibrating and made a sound: "Hey! I understand! So this is what you mean, Mountain God! I remember all the words you taught me before!"

The stubborn stone was broken, and the beautiful jade was complete.

Li Qi took out the beautiful jade, and saw that it was full of precious gas. It was a piece of top-quality jade.

This is a piece of... Shanxuan jade.

In the past, when he was in Chang'an, Li Qi bought a jade hairpin for Shen Shuibi, and said that among the jades, the best ones are water jade and mountain jade. Li Qi bought a piece of water jade for Rabbit.

"Haha, Xuanjing Mountain, Xuanyu Mountain, they really fit together." Li Qi laughed and handed the jade to Niuhuang Mountain God: "This is probably fate. I didn't expect that there is such a layer of stone. This is also an opportunity."

"Then, father, do I count this as merit?" Li Shiwei asked hurriedly.

Does this mean I don't have to be beaten?

"Whether it counts as merit or not, your mother has the final say. I will tell you about this matter. Leave it to her. As for me, after reading this interesting story, it's time to leave."

"Stone, give yourself a good name, haha!" Li Qi touched the jade.

Who would have thought that I would encounter such a thing before leaving.

It's really interesting.
