Chapter 566: A Novel Queue

Li Qi's mission to come to the outer domain this time is to win over the world around Xinsu, so that they can contribute to the joint resistance against humanity. Moreover, because of the spell given by Shen Yijun, he can also try to communicate with the "big fire". If he can get a little bias from the star officials, it will have a crucial impact on the war situation.

However, humanity will definitely do the same thing.

The relationship between humanity and the star officials is also very good. Although they are at odds with Ziwei Tianting, this does not affect the star officials from helping humanity.

Moreover, there was a human emperor in the past who served as a star official. Although the situation is unknown, there must be something fishy, ​​so we have to guard against it.

If it weren't for the internal records of Wushen Mountain, Li Qi would not believe that the position of the human emperor could serve as a star official.

However, let's talk about it later. Anyway, we are here. Let's go to this world first, find the leader of the Lingchou world, explain our situation clearly, and then gradually spread out with the Lingchou world as the center.

Thinking of this, Li Qi flew to the world barrier and started queuing.

There are really long queues. There are many merchant ships here, too many to count. They are all transporting the robes produced in this world, so if you want to enter, you have to queue up, and be examined one by one to verify your qualifications.

There are many teams in front, mainly divided into three teams: the fleet and the human team.

There are two fleets, which are large ships, magic weapons and the like, divided into commercial and civilian. The commercial ones are generally world-class giant ships, and they are all in another channel tens of millions of miles away.

Civilian ones are all small flying boats, lined up thousands of miles away. From here, you can see all kinds of bizarre and strange magic weapons floating over there, waiting to enter the world.

Then there is the human team, which is Li Qi's team.

Many, many people, probably... tens of thousands, lined up, some with their families, some like Li Qi alone, floating in the void, tens of thousands of people in front were divided into two or three hundred teams, and many local practitioners in the Lingchou world were verifying their identity information.

It's quite formal.

This was the first time that Li Qi came to this kind of "civilized" world outside the domain. Before, he had only been to the uncivilized world that had never stepped out of his own world, so he still felt a little fresh.

There were people lined up in front and behind, but the one in front could not be considered a human. He was a humanoid creature, but he looked like a cucumber, with green skin and no elasticity. He didn't know what species it was. Li Qi had never seen it before.

However, the one behind him was a normal humanoid creature, which looked a bit like the mermaids in the world, but the lower body was not a fish tail, but normal legs, but the characteristics of aquatic creatures could still be seen, such as the webbed fingers and the gills behind the ears.

Finally, are the gills useful in the air? That's naturally the same as Li Qi's nose. Although it does have a function, it is actually useless in the void.

For practitioners, these organs are more of a symbol of the inner world, rather than what they actually need.

Moreover, they also speak in the elegant language of the world, which shows the influence of the world on their culture.

In fact, Li Qi could see that these races spoke their own languages ​​to their relatives, but to foreigners, they all spoke the elegant language of the world.

After all, the influence of the world is here, and it is convenient to speak in the same language.

There is no medium in the void outside the domain in the usual sense, so the sound cannot be transmitted normally. Therefore, everyone's conversation is carried out through a specific air as a carrier. Anyway, as long as the sound can be transmitted, it will be fine. Because of this, the sound can be transmitted quite far. As long as you are willing to collect these air, you can even hear the sound more than ten miles away.

Li Qi listened to these people curiously, wanting to learn some knowledge and folk customs outside the domain that he did not understand.

However, after listening to them, these people are basically talking about business.

Talking about which world group has good specialties, which place has recently increased in price, which place has recently had an incident, which place has developed new technology and has new products.

However, Li Qi is also in this business after all, and he also has a chamber of commerce under him. He listened to some news with relish and nodded slightly, but in other news, he could clearly hear loopholes and heard that they were made up.

True and false, false and true, all kinds of words are spreading. When the distance is expanded to the concept of light years, the truth and falsehood are basically impossible to judge.

As he was listening, the aquatic race behind him suddenly took the initiative to talk to Li Qi: "Brother, why are you just listening and not talking? Which world are you from? You look so orthodox."

Orthodox, this criterion is actually based on the "world".

Many humanoid races, or not so humanoid races, generally regard the creatures that are closer to the world as the so-called "orthodox".

Of course, they also have their own sense of belonging, but...after all, the world is really too high for them. Except for those worlds of the third rank or even higher, the others basically still recognize this difference.

But this orthodoxy is not such a serious statement, and there is no real distinction between high and low. It is probably similar to the adjective "foreign".

You look so foreign, dress so foreign, don't look like a local, but more like the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, or a cosmic beacon, so you naturally look a little more upscale.

In fact, it's not you who are upscale, but your dress. The collective advantage brought by skin color and race is essentially a kind of colonized psychology.

But there is no way, the gap is indeed too big, and it is an all-round gap, not only in productivity, but also in spiritual civilization and technology.

"Oh, I'm from Tianxia." Li Qi bowed his hands, and he didn't intend to lie, and admitted it honestly.

This is Li Qi's character. When he was in Baiyue, he didn't change his name when he was wanted by the government. Now there is no danger outside the domain, so naturally he won't hide anything.

After saying this, the surroundings were quiet for a while.

"Wow, really?" Another voice came and asked, breaking the silence.

"Why tell this lie, I am indeed from Tianxia, ​​but I am not a big shot, just a nobody, don't care about me." Li Qi waved his hand.

However, the reaction of these people was not the fear, panic, or restraint that Li Qi expected.

In fact, they surrounded him instantly!

"Wow, buddy, are you interested in seeing this thing!"

"Look at mine, look at mine!"

In an instant, they put many things in front of Li Qi and competed to quote.

And the price was surprisingly cheap.

It's like you go to Southeast Asia to buy things with red notes.

It seems that for these people, the people of Tianxia are not something to be feared, but... a fool?

Anyway, Li Qi felt that they seemed to treat him as a fool.

And... he felt that it seemed that it was indeed... worth buying.

It's so cheap. Compared with the prices in Tianxia, ​​many things here are simply outrageously cheap. Li Qi can see that although the overall strength of these things is not high, they all have their own ingenuity.

For example, the aquatic race recently took out a set of illusion beads, which of course cannot compare with the mirage beads in Tianxia, ​​but the price is really ridiculously low. The most important thing is that the method of realizing illusion with this set of beads is very novel.

Tianxia uses "qi" to create illusions. For example, the illusion of mirage beads is transformed by the mirage qi, and the illusion of the demon prince is manifested by his magic qi affecting the senses.

The realization principle of this set of illusionary beads is completely different. It is achieved through another special method. Tie a scarf to make a rabbit, tie a grass to make a horse. There is no entity, but it is born out of delusion, like the illusion of stars and lanterns, all of which are metaphors for impermanence, so the body is like an illusion.

In human terms, this is a set of illusions that achieve the effect of deception by deceiving the "Dao". Through a set of methods that Li Qi can't understand very well, the world itself is deceived, so the corresponding "reality" is produced, but this deception is not stable, and it will break at the touch, but before it is touched, it is real and almost indistinguishable!

Of course, this set of methods can't be played in the world. The Dao of the world is really solid and strict. It is almost impossible to deceive the Dao of the world.

But it works really well outside the domain.

Completely different ecology and different environment have created different techniques, many of which are quite creative. In addition to this set of beads that deceive the world, there are also spirits similar to martial arts that can refine gas beads by eating, and pets made of exquisite pure mechanical structures.

Really, the moment he saw it, Li Qi felt that his heart as a man was touched.

It's so cool, a real automatic mechanism completed by a pure mechanical mechanism, without any electronic technology, without any magic, and without sealing the soul. It relies entirely on delicate mechanical parts, those gears, knobs, threads, and a small semi-permanent power supply core to achieve functions such as following, flying, and recording.

So... Li Qi, the sucker, finally paid for it.

It's actually quite cheap, isn't it? Much cheaper than in Tianxia.

It seems that these people think that everyone in Tianxia is stupid and rich, but isn't it good to spend a little money to buy some happiness?

Li Qi got a bunch of useless toys. These people seemed to know that their killing weapons and offensive and defensive magic weapons would not be attractive to Li Qi at all, so most of the toys they took out were actually toys, all very ingenious.

It can be seen that these people have some means to deal with people from Tianxia.

However, Li Qi noticed that these toys seemed to be luxury goods for them. In fact, the price was not low, but they were quite cheap in his opinion.

It's like... two thousand yuan of jade in Southeast Asia.

For Li Qi, two thousand yuan is nothing, just for fun.

But for them, it may be a year's income.

The disparity of the world is reflected in these places.

While admiring many wonderful ideas, while paying, the team also moved forward smoothly. After a while, Li Qi was at the front of the team and came to the checkpoint.

Here, the flow of people is divided into hundreds of checkpoints, and here, he saw the same inspection equipment as Dongyu.

"Daoze reader, um... Lingdao?" Li Qi asked the inspector in surprise.

"Huh? From the world?" The inspector looked up and was also stunned.

However, what really surprised the inspector was that Li Qi also scanned him in the same way.

"Fellow Dao?" The inspector looked surprised and happy.

Li Qi understood what the other party's expression was.

Pure spiritualists rarely appear in the outside world. They have little need for things like "cultivating the mind" or "experience" and think that it is a waste of time.

A true spiritual practitioner can even be completely unaware of the outside world, but at the same time master all the rules of the outside world.

This is related to their philosophy. In their view, crazy learning and understanding in the outside world is actually just stupid work, and stupid people have to do this.

The essence of so-called experience is just to observe and record various phenomena that have occurred, and then put these phenomena together to deduce the underlying principles that may exist. If there are many such examples, your own orthodoxy will become very profound. look.

But these are all superficial.

But in spiritual Tao, you only need to use your own wisdom to calculate a set of a priori rules without leaving home, and then the movement and changes of all things can be deduced through these a priori rules. This is the real 'Tao', this is the real Tao. It is the most superior orthodoxy.

Wu Jin and Li Dao, to explain all things, you need to cite 10,000 examples and prove the great truth through 10,000 examples, but to explain all things in the spiritual way, a piece of paper with this set of transcendental rules written on it is enough. Take this Everything in the world can be derived from paper.

They like to deduce a set of "a priori rules" in their own minds. This set of rules is an objective, universal, and universal rule. It is the real "Tao" and cannot be summarized by other stupid methods. Out comes the rule of thumb.

A priori rules and empirical rules are, in their eyes, smart methods and stupid methods.

Therefore, spiritual practitioners rarely like to walk outside. Even if they have to walk outside, it is mostly to verify whether the a priori rules they have thought up are consistent with the existence of the objective world.

But there are always exceptions. Spiritual Dao is also divided into two groups. Some spiritual Dao practitioners may be stupid. They can't sum up this rule, so they can only come to the outside world and use stupid methods.

There are also some smart people who admit that there is a set of a priori rules, but they cannot be obtained from thinking in the mind, but should be combined with practice to use them. These people are the rare spiritual practitioners who walk in the outside world. .

The spiritual ways that appear in the outside world are all of this kind, and they can all be called "common ways", which is why the inspector is so happy.

Although I don’t know how he ended up living outside the territory, he should be very happy to meet his fellow travelers, right?

Unfortunately, I am not a spiritual practitioner.

But I'm still lucky. Since I'm a member of the world, it should be easier to communicate without wasting time explaining the talisman.

So, Li Qi said: "Brother, I admit my mistake. I am not a spiritual practitioner. By the way, please inform the Realm Master that the envoy from Wushen Mountain is visiting."

As he spoke, he took out the talisman.
