Chapter 775 Falling Out
A few hours later, it was already midnight.
Li Qi sat on a tall building in Chang'an, looking up at the sky.
This is the tallest building in Chang'an, located in Shangyuan. It is where the high-ranking flower gods usually entertain guests. However, as a fourth-grade man, Li Qi is naturally considered a distinguished guest here.
This high-rise building has a different flower god coming to do business every night, so different people gather here every day. It is a place of sensuality in Chang'an.
The flower god here tonight is Tie Haitang. Perhaps it was a coincidence that Li Qi actually knew this flower god.
She was the former enemy of Lingxiao Flower God, but...at the last moment, she gave Lingxiao Flower God a helping hand and helped her leave Shangyuan (see Chapter 377 for details)
However, Li Qi did not listen to Tie Haitang's performance below. He just sat with Qiu Zhi in a small corner on the roof, overlooking Shangyuan below.
Chang'an is very prosperous at night, and Shangyuan is even more prosperous among the prosperous. However, under the high-rise buildings, there are flower arrays and wine ponds, fragrant mountains and medicinal seas, and Yan Pavilion and Song Towers.
In addition to the pavilion, there are also a variety of opera boats and boats, with gongs and drums playing, music and flags dancing, and golden and jade colors shining on each other. There are paved paths with brocade stones, ponds built with treasures, rainbow bridges with willow locks, and phoenix boats lingering with flowers. Pedestrians are walking around. Full of energy, laughter and fun.
However, unlike the hilarity in Shangyuan, Li Qi was silent here.
At this time, some time has passed since we were in the canteen of Taixue.
Qiu Zhi seemed to feel a little bad and said, "Master is so silent, do you blame me for clarifying the rules?"
"No, I just don't know what to say." Li Qi shook his head and continued to look at the sky.
A few hours ago, in Imperial College, Li Qi was not allowed to tell the final opportunity of the great road.
Li Qi did not force it and chose to give up.
Qiu Zhi explained: "Looking at the good side, the awakening of the sea pot is the fourth level, so there are no dangers, no worries, people have words but don't believe them, good things are not in the right way, expenses are not in the right way, and trust is not This person follows the rules and has no ambition to work hard. He is confused and willing to fail. You have given him a head start and let him think about it. It is not necessarily a bad thing, is it? "
Li Qi ignored the other party's words, but asked: "You, humanity, for the sake of rules, do you even want to hinder people's paths? Who is that person? An appendage of the rules?"
"Wrong, rules exist for people, how can they hinder people? However, sometimes, there must be choices. If Guo Penghai wants to take over this opportunity, then he must bear the corresponding cause and effect. Now it is In troubled times, this cause and effect may have many impacts." Qiu Zhi said calmly.
"If he is willing to take responsibility, then it is natural for him to take this opportunity. If he cannot take it, there is nothing wrong with giving up. All of this is Guo Penghai's choice." Qiu Zhi said.
As if he felt that these were not convincing enough, he immediately added: "Or... Master, do you think it is a better choice to let him directly inherit this kind of cause and effect without thinking clearly about anything?"
Li Qi was speechless after saying this.
It was really difficult for him to refute this statement, but he still felt that giving up the opportunity to follow the road in order to comply with the rules was obliterating human nature.
This may be the shortcoming of human nature. People are always tied up and cannot be as free and free as witches. Many witches, such as Zhu Fengdan, have no worries and can live freely in this world as they please. Practice your own way the way you like.
It’s just... is it really good to be free and free?
Li Qi recalled Shen Shuibi and Li Shiwei, and he was also a bound person...
well.
Cause and effect.
Li Qi raised his hand, and a thread appeared in his palm. He pulled it gently, and saw that a large network of cause and effect was pulled out with himself as the node.
But under his feet, the large formation that suppressed the entire Chang'an immediately activated the part under Li Qi's feet. An invisible force pressed on Li Qi's shoulders, knocking off his spell.
Chang'an, level 5 and above, are not allowed to do anything at will, even simple spells.
Li Qi shook his head and did not go any further. Instead, he stood up and said, "Okay, it's almost done. I've almost finished my stay in Chang'an. I've also eaten. My old friends have also settled down, so I'll take my leave."
"Let's go together, I also want to go back to the border." Qiu Zhi stood up.
Li Qi nodded and walked down.
All the way down from the top floor to the hall below, I saw that Tie Haitang's performance in the hall had ended, and now a seventh-grade flower god was performing in the middle, which was considered a guest performance to maintain the popularity.
However, the scene was still very popular, and people kept coming. After all, this was a fifth-level performance venue, and Tie Haitang's popularity was not low, at least it was much more popular than the original Lingxiao Flower God.
Li Qi carefully passed through the crowd, but as he walked, he saw a young flower demon quietly walking over and tugging at Li Qi's clothes.
"Young Master...my flower god invites you." The flower demon whispered, handing over a token.
There is Tie Haitang's mark on the token.
Li Qi smiled and said: "If you go, you won't go. Please help me tell your flower god that Ling Xiao is doing well. There is no need to worry. It's just a war between humans and witches. She is in Baiyue. It is indeed a bit dangerous, but there are many things in the world. In this case, there is nothing we can do.”
After saying this, he did not accept the other party's invitation, but directly walked away quickly.
The little flower demon held the token in her hand, not knowing what to do for a moment. After all, she didn't dare to really stop Li Qi, because that was... a fourth-grade witch.
If it was a fourth-grade human, she would still dare to go up and pull him, but witches can be said to be notorious...
In the human world, everyone knows that witches are actually impossible to judge by good or evil. They don't like to follow the rules and can even kill people at will.
That's right, in the eyes of humanity, witches are much more evil than themselves.
Human expansion and aggression outside the domain are all in accordance with the rules. There is a set of criteria to judge these behaviors. There are rules and regulations for how to invade, how to place prisoners of war, and how to deal with civilians.
In other words, whether it is killing, saving, or releasing, how to deal with it is determined by the rules, not by people. The good and evil of an individual cannot have an effect on the law, and the rules serve the majority of people to ensure that it is beneficial to humanity as a whole.
But witches are different.
Witches kill and save people with one heart.
This is terrifying from a human perspective.
The law can execute the death penalty, which is a matter of course. The law represents justice. After going through the procedures, collecting evidence, confirming, and retrial, the death penalty is not a problem.
But if a person kills and saves people at will based on his own likes and dislikes, then this person, in the eyes of humanity... is a synonym for evil and terror.
Just as the witches see humanity.
Humanity in the eyes of witches is just as terrifying.
What witches see is that humanity is screened outside the domain, and then slaughtered in a large-scale, systematic, and assembly-line manner, just like a chicken farm will directly grind up a newly born rooster.
The act of slaughtering the world is like manufacturing parts on a factory assembly line, and the soldiers of humanity are the craftsmen who produce parts.
In the meantime, no one bears the guilt, and everyone is "doing their job impartially", but the killing caused is immeasurable.
This assembly-line slaughter makes witches shudder, and it can be said that they despise it to the extreme.
Both sides are like this.
Human beings think that witches wantonly play with life with their own likes and dislikes, and witches think that human beings' massacres are even more vicious...
But how to say it.
Li Qi thinks that none of them are good people.
After all, although witches and shamans are both good and bad, the good ones, such as the great witch Yun Fang, can protect the stable development of many world groups and protect many lives.
If you encounter a bad one, for example, Li Qi has heard that some Gu masters invaded many worlds and made the entire world into Gu cups to make Gu for themselves.
Some ghost witches will actively cast curses in order to cultivate big ghosts or resentful ghosts, causing people to fall into extreme despair and suffer all kinds of torture. In the end, their loved ones are robbed, their families die, their friends are implicated, and they are unlucky. In the end, they are abandoned by everyone, die without a burial, and turn into resentful ghosts, which are collected by ghost witches and become part of the magic weapon.
In Li Qi's eyes, these two behaviors are not good things.
Li Qi doesn't want to argue about right and wrong, but... at least there are good people among witches and shamans.
The high cohesion of humanity means that even if there are good people among them, they will be bound by the system and rules and be dragged together to join the endless expansion of humanity outside the domain.
As for the endless lives outside the domain...
Alas, living is suffering in itself.
Immortals accidentally step on people to death when passing by, demons eat people, ghosts eat people, and even people eat people.
That's why Buddhism says -
The world is a sea of suffering, people float and sink in it, sinking in it, without hope, difficult to get out, and suffering unspeakably.
Buddhism believes that only by relying on one's own enlightenment can one get out of pain.
Humanity hopes to directly create a universe where everyone is free of suffering.
Shinto and witchcraft believe that all this should exist, and there is no need to deliberately change it. The suffering will eventually come out on their own.
The magic way and the real dragons don't care about this so-called suffering at all, and they themselves are even part of this suffering.
When thinking about this, Li Qi has arrived in Nanjiang.
Outside Nanjiang, Li Qi walked into the wilderness.
"Then, General Qiu, goodbye. We will meet again on the battlefield. I will not hold back." Li Qi said with a smile.
"Sir, take care. But... I have one last word for you." Qiu Zhi bowed his hands and said seriously.
"All ears." Li Qi immediately focused his attention.
He said to Li Qi solemnly: "Sir, you have seen the prosperity of Chang'an. When you are young, you should remember that you may have foreseen the subtle signs at that time. The witches and shamans were happy for the warning from the heavens, and they were eager to reflect on themselves and pray for eternal life. However, if they prayed to the heavens and the earth, how could the country's prosperity last long? Looking at the Baiyue countries, the kings who founded the country in the past generations did not make any contributions to the people and had no virtues for the country. How could they have a chance to win?"
"When the opportunity comes, I will give you a piece of advice. War is not caused by heaven or earth, but only by human success. The supreme human nature drives out the barbarians. In addition, he took back China, re-expounded the ancient ethics, and re-established the world. Since the creation of the world, the supreme merits and virtues have never been seen before. What witches and sorcerers have done is just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. "
After listening, Li Qi shook his head: "If you just say this, then I can only tell you... the truth will be revealed on the battlefield."
Qiu Zhi said: "Then... this is the battlefield now."
"Oh? It seems that General Qiu has been patient for a long time, outside the domain? Or here?" Li Qi turned around and looked at Qiu Zhi, and a Dharma image suddenly rose behind him.
This time, the Dharma image was not as magnificent as it was outside the domain. It was only two or three miles high, with four arms and two bodies. The left body was entangled with demonic energy, and the right body was filled with Buddhist light. The yin and yang of the Taoist sect were mediating, and the human and spiritual paths provided constraints. The gods in the body confronted humans and maintained a balance, and the most important "nature" filled the entire Dharma image.
At this point, Li Qi's Dharma image was no longer a situation of "human-witch confrontation". The witch path had harmoniously filled the entire Dharma image.
Whether it was Buddha, demon, or human god, or the Taoist sect and the spiritual path as a harmonizer, all of them were in a "natural state".
Li Qi did not deliberately adjust their state, unlike when he was at the seventh level, Li Qi carefully controlled the proportion of these Taoist sects in his body to keep them in a precise and subtle balance.
Today's Li Qi does not need so many, he just maintains nature itself, so these Taoist sects... all exist in his body, they are just byproducts of nature, and cannot occupy the main position of his body.
This is his current cultivation. If he wants to control a river, he doesn't need to precisely manipulate every drop of water. He only needs to dig a river channel, and all the water will flow along the river channel obediently.
Li Qi used to think about precisely controlling every drop of water, but now he has long given up that approach, which has also increased the limit of his mana that he can control by tens of millions of times.
Along with Li Qi's Dharma image, Qiu Zhi also spoke.
"Let's do it here. It's a little more difficult." He said softly.
As he spoke, behind Qiu Zhi, the military spirit bloomed, and a picture of the battlefield slowly unfolded.
The flags fluttered in the north wind, and the frost and hail chased the south geese.
But he saw countless soldiers, wearing spears and halberds, and on the battlefield, there were bloody clouds and rain, and fat winds and fat fields.
The vast wilderness was as different as the sky, and the horses stopped and looked around. The climate was tortuous and the autumn sky was majestic.
The yellow sun was about to set, and there were so many weapons and weapons, and things were seen in the daytime. On both sides of the road, there were many bones of war.
Looking up, the ground was as red and blue, full of blood.
Qiu Zhi's Dharma image is not a human form, but a scroll. This scroll is so vivid that it almost forms a real scene, replacing the real world and becoming a new reality.
But Qiu Zhi took two steps and pulled out a rusty long spear from the scroll.
"Come on, young master, let me see the ability of Wushen Mountain."
"The ability of Wushen Mountain or the Tang Dynasty court is not something that can be determined by the victory or defeat between you and me, but... I'm thinking, if I kill you here, will I win?" Li Qi tilted his head, and the oppressive feeling of the Dharma image became fierce.
