Chapter 137 Sudden Accident
In this elegantly decorated inn, Li Qi asked curiously:
"Strive? What grade is this innate golden energy that can actually be used as a word?"
He also knew that Green Mountain would indeed breed an innate magic weapon from time to time.
Innate means that it is born naturally without any changes.
It is said that everything about destiny is innate; the behavior of people is acquired.
Theoretically, most things in the world can be called "innate", after all, everyone is born this way.
However, there are also innate differences, just like some people are born smarter than others, born stronger than others, and some rocks are born harder than others.
These people or things are born with special characteristics, so they are called innate things.
Just like the current innate magic weapon, it is naturally conceived from the rich gold energy of the Green Mountain. Without any carving, it is naturally formed into the shape of a weapon. It is magical and is the best weapon among warriors. No matter what happens in the future, Whether it is warmed up or continued to be tempered as raw materials, it can surpass ordinary weapons.
The fox heard the words and chuckled at Li Qi: "When the golden energy was first born, the sky was filled with brilliant colors. Then the light converged and burst out again. The red light belonged to the sky, like the sun in the middle, and the power of Qingwu Sect started to look up. , said, "The essence of gold can shine, but the filth cannot. This light shines without filth." So he concluded that he was born with the eighth grade."
The essence of gold can be revealed, but the filth cannot be revealed.
Li Qi nodded after hearing this evaluation. This thing is really highly praised.
Zhao means that the light is conspicuous. The so-called Zhao Zhao in the daytime means this. This sentence means that only the essence of gold energy can emit light, while impurities cannot shine. Looking at the pure appearance of this gold energy, it must be No impurities.
It is indeed quite rare to be born with the eighth grade, pure and flawless golden energy, and to become a magic weapon by oneself. There is really no problem in saying "fight".
"Sir, do you want to ask about some rumors about this matter? Although our store is not big, there are always rumors in the market. You might as well buy more food. I will tell you in detail." The fox demon said in a gentle tone. Gentle, although there is not much temptation, but when talking, there is always a little charm exuding.
Although he has restrained himself a lot, Li Qi is still a ninth-grade warrior with keen senses and can still detect it.
However, what he felt was not a deliberate showoff, but the slightest trace of it still leaking out even after trying hard to restrain it.
Looking at the elegant surroundings and the conservative dress of this fox demon, she must have chosen it herself, right?
But in the end, it had nothing to do with Li Qi, so he shook his head and replied with a smile: "My cultivation level is low and I am not strong enough to fight for those things. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself after hearing too much."
The fox demon naturally understood his polite refusal, so he kept silent and checked in with a smile. After ordering the meal, he called the waiter to take the old horse away, and then went to entertain the guests at other tables.
Li Qi and others sat in the center of the lobby, waiting to go to their rooms after eating.
Although there is only one room, to this day, after sleeping in the open air and living in various places for a year, two people only have one room. They have often encountered this situation, and they have long been used to it.
After sitting down, Li Qi poured a cup of tea for himself and Shen Shuibi, and said with some emotion: "It wasn't until I left the Dalu Kingdom that I realized that all spirits can live together in such harmony."
"Look, in Qingwu City, demons and humans live together, and spirits are everywhere, but everyone doesn't realize they are strange, and instead take them as normal. This is something you will never see in Dalu Country, which regards demons as a disaster."
Hearing what Li Qi said, Shen Shuibi covered her mouth and smiled and said: "After all, we have entered the sphere of influence of the Witch God Mountain. Witches don't care about race. I heard that beyond the witch path, there is the Buddhist Kingdom to the west. Equality is implemented more thoroughly, and witchcraft will still judge superiority based on strength, but the Buddhist country is said to advocate the equality of all living beings, and even the lives of livestock are equal to those of practitioners. "
"Then the Dalu Kingdom is like this because it is influenced by humanity? Because humanity doesn't like monsters?" Li Qi asked curiously.
"That's true, but it's not entirely true. Humanity is distinct. Unless you think you are a humane, there will be a relatively stable promotion path internally, and there will not be too much discrimination. But if you are not a humane, then you are not of my race. , His heart must be different." Shen Shuibi recalled it and commented.
She is a victim of the idea of humanity.
After being regarded as an enemy, Emperor Tang did not hesitate to order the annihilation of Luofu Mountain without any mercy.
"What do you think?" Li Qi was a little surprised when he heard this description.
"Well, as mentioned before, humanity is not limited to race, but only recognizes your self-identity. If you agree with its concept, then even a monster is a companion. If you don't agree, even if you are a human, That's the enemy too."
"That's why humanity is extremely united, can easily gather the power of everyone, and expands very quickly." Shen Shuibi sighed.
Upon seeing this, Li Qi immediately changed the subject: "Miss Shen, there are so many ways in the world. Apart from the ones we often hear, are there any other powerful traditions?"
"Being of a powerful person? Hmm...that's hard to say." Shen Shuibi pondered for a moment, and then said: "As the saying goes, the horses have uniform hair, the jade is of different colors but all are beautiful, and the Hualiu, Lili and Qiji are all the same. A thousand miles away, how can you tell what is good and what is bad?”
Li Qi heard this and nodded in agreement.
Horses have different coat colors, but they can all be fine horses. Jade has different colors, but they can all be beautiful jade. No matter whether it is Hualiu, Luli, or Qiji, these horses can travel a thousand miles a day. So no matter what Taoist school it is, it has its own unique features.
"So, you must not be complacent because you are born in a Taoist school. Oh, Li Qi, you have seen through this point, so I won't say anything." Shen Shuibi subconsciously reminded him when she said this, and then realized that Li Qi had actually stopped being bothered by arrogance, so she stopped talking.
While the two were talking, food was also delivered, all of which were exquisite dishes.
The first thing delivered was half a soft pig. The soft pig was a small pig weighing five or six pounds, fed with rice, and its bones were all soft and crisp. It was roasted as a whole, and the pepper fragrance was fragrant. It tasted very good when sliced and eaten.
There was also fried bamboo shoots with fat meat. The fat meat can be sweet, and the sweetness goes into the bamboo shoots, so the sweetness is not seen, but the freshness is felt.
The staple food is a bowl of Four Beauties Soup, which is made of mushrooms from land and water shield from water, and is mixed with crab roe and fish ribs, so it is called "Four Beauties Soup".
Mushrooms are formed by the qi of mountains, rivers and plants. Eating them is like breathing the qi of mountains, rivers and plants.
Shield is crispy and smooth, a little like fish marrow and crab fat, but much lighter.
Add the freshness of crab roe and fish ribs, and the taste is wonderful.
The meal was extremely delicious, and Li Qi was very satisfied. Although there were only two dishes and one soup, and the ingredients were not expensive, they were sufficient and delicious, so he didn't say anything about the two or three thousand coins for the meal.
After dinner, Shen Shuibi returned to the room and began to meditate and practice, while Li Qi sat by the window to watch the night view of Qingwu City.
The lights were like stars, and the world was vast. Although it was getting dark, the glazed tiles in the city reflected the light of candles and night pearls.
From here, overlooking the city below, there are network roads all around.
The city is supported by a dense network of interlaced networks, located in the middle. Sometimes there are people who are too proud to ride horses on the gorgeous street scenes, singing and dancing, so lively.
At night, Qingwu City will show its true appearance.
The beautiful scenery supported by various magic methods is all over the city. Li Qi also saw the means of attracting customers with mechanical puppets and illusions, and he could also see many monsters walking in it.
They don’t seem to worry about their monster characteristics, so you can often see a bunch of animal ears, fur, and tails.
But all this is not a fairyland. The monsters have unique styles, and their transformations are not completely good-looking. Some have not yet shed their animal forms, some are weird, and some have not even refined their cross bones. They speak in babbling and gesture with their hands and feet.
And these are considered to be intelligent, and there are some strange beasts that have no intelligence at all. They are purely animals. Even monsters don’t regard them as the same kind. They eat their meat and wear their fur, without any pressure.
For monsters, intelligence is the way to distinguish their own kind. Only those who have awakened their intelligence are considered to be of the same race. Otherwise, they don’t care much even if they give birth to the beast that gave birth to them.
For them, the beginning of life is the moment of awakening their intelligence, not the moment of birth.
But to be honest, humans seem to be the same, the only difference is that humans have innate intelligence.
Speaking of this, Li Qi has also read in a book that it is not only humans who have innate intelligence in the world. For example, the Four Seas True Dragon is also born with intelligence. Many spirit beasts, including Shen Shuibi and other natural alien species, are born with intelligence.
This is just the world. Looking at the countless worlds outside the domain, the number is even greater.
There are many people with innate intelligence, and there are even more people without innate intelligence.
After realizing this, Li Qi completely lost the idea of the word "special".
In this world, no one is special, and nothing is special.
The same is true for himself.
There is nothing new under the sun, and there will be no unique people.
While looking at the scenery outside, he was thinking about these things.
Thinking has now become Li Qi's habit. Almost every moment of his free time, he is thinking, reading, and looking up different knowledge.
And now, the book "Wish" has been read by Li Qi.
After reading it, the progress bar directly gave him the knowledge of the whole book, as if he had memorized the whole book, and his memory was still very deep.
This is the power of Tao Yun.
Just when Li Qi was immersed in his own world, suddenly, he and Shen Shuibi woke up from their own world at the same time and looked behind the door.
"Death Qi, someone died?" Li Qi said.
"Not only that, there is also death intention, which means that he is not dead yet, but he will be dead soon." Shen Shuibi frowned and said.
The two people immediately got up and went out to see what was going on.
When they walked out of the door, they saw people coming out of other rooms, and they all seemed to feel the death.
Looking at the place where the death intention was emanating, they saw a fox demon lying underneath, breathing in less and breathing out more, and it looked like it was about to die.
There was a bewildered man next to him, desperately covering his wound and yelling at his wife.
To Li Qi's surprise, no one came to save him.
"It's strange. I didn't feel the murderer. This wound... is a curse from the Wu Dao, but I don't know if it was from a fortune teller." Li Qi frowned and said.
After all, it is the territory of Wushen Mountain. Although there are few people who practice the orthodox Wu Dao, there are still many people who practice some side branches of Wu Dao. It's normal that some of them are good at cursing.
"What should I do? It seems that no one is willing to save me." Shen Shuibi looked around.
"We can't watch people die. Let's go and see." Li Qi made a decision.
No matter what the boss lady did, even if she did something heinous in secret, after she is rescued, she should be dealt with as she pleases. She cannot be left here to die.
After making a decision, the two immediately turned over and jumped directly to the hall downstairs.
At this moment, the panicked man was holding the fox demon's belly and shouting in a trembling voice: "Madam! Hold on! I asked Begging Tooth to find the doctor! Hold on!"
"Get out of the way and let me do it." Li Qi stepped forward and pulled the man away.
The man was stunned, but immediately realized that someone was wrong.
Li Qi took a look at the wound and then felt the surrounding Qi.
"It is indeed a curse, the work of ghost witches." Li Qi checked the wound and found that it was indeed the case.
"The wound has the energy of the five elements, which is the curse of the five ghosts. Someone sends five powerful ghosts to arrange five kinds of talismans to restrain people according to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They curse first, and then send the ghosts that are in conflict with each other to control people. Human soul, that’s why there was such a sudden outbreak,” Li Qi said.
"I arranged the spirit energy to drive away the ghost energy, but the injury is still better for you, Miss Shen. You can take care of it." Li Qi said.
Shen Shuibi nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, the two began to divide the work and collaborate.
Li Qi began to arrange the protective spells. In addition to the divine energy of the four seasons, he also had the divine energy of the five sacrifices in his body.
What are the five sacrifices? It is called door, household, well, stove and middle passage.
Offering sacrifices to households in spring, stoves in summer, doors in autumn, wells in winter, and mid-year sacrifices in June coincide with the five elements.
Therefore, at the beginning of his practice, Li Qi worshiped Tu Yulei, the household god, whose spirit can drive away ghosts. He lived in a large peach tree, so he belonged to the tree of wood. This is why he worshiped the household god in spring.
The stove is fire, the door is gold, the well is water, and the middle is like earth.
Li Qi arranged the spirit of the Five Sacrifices to offset the energy of the five ghosts and prevent the other party from hurting others again.
On Shen Shuibi's side, he checked the wound and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, it's really a five-element ghost. When five evils enter the body, the wound on the outside is just a small hole. The five evils interact with each other, hurting both the inside and the outside. The qi flows in the opposite direction, which is why you vomit blood. It is really vicious. The qi of the five evils will not disappear after death, but will also pollute the soul. This is to eliminate the roots and destroy the soul. "
