Chapter 165 Chance Encounter

Chapter 165 Chance Encounter

Shen Shuibi took a nap on the roadside.

But it wasn't like she was really dozing off, she just didn't tell Li Qi what she was doing.

In fact, her spirit is traveling far away to observe the situation at the border.

That's right, Yin Shen, she has returned to the eighth level.

After that night, she and Li Qi talked all night and talked about many things, which made her feel much better.

Then the next day...she took apart the piece of moon soul that carried memories and ate it.

The memories have been spoken, and they are no longer unique to her. Therefore, the thing that carries the memories is no longer unique. So what is the point of keeping this moon spirit?

Shen Shuibi knew the difference very clearly, so she simply ate the Yue Soul fragments, and used the rich lunar energy in them to make up for some of the cracks in her body, paving the way for her to return to the eighth level.

Shen Shuibi also knew that this was Li Qi's intention. The moon soul itself could help her repair her body, but only for now. Later, such useless materials would be useless.

If you don't use it now, Li Qi's thoughts will be wasted. Shen Shuibi doesn't want this.

I don't know where he knew it from, but he seemed to have seen through this, so he found this piece of moon soul.

In short, after that day, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer, because in Shen Shuibi's view, Li Qi was the only person besides Yue Po who inherited his memories in Luofu Mountain.

After recovering to the eighth level, nothing special happened along the way. Li Qi's progress was very rapid. He seemed to be naturally good at mediating among the crowd.

However, we are about to arrive at the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Nest. It is said that there is a treasure in Minghu Lake there that can help Li Qi condense his soul.

Dao sects also have this thing called Yuan Shen, but it is different from the Yuan Shen of Wu Dao.

Yuan originally means "human head". The word Yuan evolved from the shape of the head, meaning "head", "first" and "beginning".

Because of this, Taoism has the term "Yuanshi", which means the first cause of the creation of the world and the promoter of all the 'effects' of all things.

Therefore, there are "Yuan, the beginning of Qi", "Qian Yuan, the beginning and prosperity", "Those who call themselves Yuan regard the Great Beginning and want to correct the origin." ’ these statements.

And this word, when used in practice, generally refers to the first, particularly important part.

Therefore, the "Yuan Shen" of Taoism is the beginning of one's own cultivation and the beginning of the divine treasure among the three treasures of Jing Qi Shen. Correspondingly, there is Yuan Qi, and Yuan Jing is called the Three Yuan.

When these three elements come together, there is "the origin of Taoism, from the beginning, from the beginning, from the traces, from the wonderful one, from the wonderful one, divided into three elements, and from the three elements into three qi, and from The ability of "three qi to transform and give birth to three talents, and when the three talents are nourished, all things are ready" is the root of the Taoist body's small world, and can be extended to all things in the world.

Corresponding to the reflection of the small world of the human body and the large world of the outside world, what is reflected is the three elements, which are the three lights of the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the three essentials of water, fire and earth on the earth, and the three things of energy, energy and spirit in humans.

This view and way of practice have nothing to do with the basics of witchcraft. If someone doesn't understand the principles, just gets a few books and starts practicing, and then mixes them together, he will definitely go wrong in his practice and get himself killed.

For example, the ghost god Li Weng I met in Dalu Kingdom was a dignified eighth-grade man who died at the age of fifty or sixty.

The soul of witchcraft is more pure, which refers to the "god in the head".

The ancient meaning of Yuan is the head, and the meaning of Yuan Shen is naturally the god of the head. Its function is to control the brain, and also serves as the central dispatcher of all the gods in the body. It is the leader of the gods in the body, just like the brain controls the rest of the body. Parts are the same.

The first god in the body represents different directions of emphasis in the eighth stage.

If you give priority to condensing the sun, moon and gods, your eyes will be bright, you will have synesthesia, your sixth sense will be very effective, and you will occasionally be able to suddenly perceive good or bad luck.

People usually condense this statue first.

If you are the first to condense the God of the Five Mountains, your body will be more solid, your physical endurance will be greatly increased, your small world will become tougher, and you will also have many earthly magical powers, such as escaping from the earth.

This was Li Qi's original choice. After all, he was from the Earth branch, and condensing this one would make it easier to travel.

Choosing to be the first to condense the Four Water Gods, the small world of the human body can accommodate more incompatible qi. The Sidu Master can connect the qi of the four directions, strengthen the power of the shaman in magic, and also provide some manipulation. Magical powers over water.

If you choose Yuanshen, your ears and eyes will be clear, your mind will be clear, your body will operate more smoothly and harmoniously, you will be able to coordinate the power of all the gods in your body, your control over your body will be greatly improved, and your reaction speed will also increase.

Li Qi took the lead in condensing the soul. He probably wanted to perfectly control the two golden energies at the ninth level. However, it is more difficult to condense the soul. If he had condensed the other gods in his body first, he would have successfully condensed them in the past six months. One statue.

The first statue only represents emphasis, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, it just depends on Wu Jin's own preference.

Li Qi took the lead in condensing his soul, probably because he wanted to perfectly control those two golden energies.

Shen Shuibi naturally also gave full support, so he followed along all the way. After running for half a year, he was finally about to enter the sphere of influence of the Sky-Devouring Demon Nest.

After crossing the border of Bailin Kingdom, we arrived at the Heaven-Devouring Demon's Nest.

Shen Shuibi's Yin Shen spanned hundreds of miles and was observing the situation near the border.

However, she suddenly felt someone shaking her body.

"Huh? Li Qi is back?" Shen Shuibi noticed this, and Yin Shen no longer resisted the pull of his body.

The distance of a hundred miles came suddenly.

In just an instant, her Yin spirit returned to her physical body.

"We're back." Shen Shuibi opened her eyes, looked at Li Qi who had returned, and said with a smile: "Have we finished dealing with it? Are we going to set off now?"

Li Qi nodded: "It's all done, let's go to the Sky-Devouring Demon's Nest."

The two spoke briefly, then Li Qi rode on the old horse, Shen Shuibi sat in the back seat, and set off towards the border.

They talked about some irrelevant things along the way, and soon Lao Ma arrived at the border.

After all, the old horse at this time is already considered a 'demon'. Although he has not yet entered the level, the dragon blood in his body has been stimulated, and his speed has increased two or three times. Now he can travel two thousand miles in one day, and four thousand miles day and night. , very quickly.

No wonder Mr. Zhu said it wouldn't take ten years at all.

As long as Li Qi is making progress, these three million miles don't seem to be far away...

"By the way, Li Qi, when I was traveling in Yin Shen before, I saw that the Sky Swallowing Demon Nest seemed very quiet. There was nothing special about it. It was very quiet."

"Quiet?" Li Qi was stunned.

How could it be quiet?

"The border fighting place is quiet? Isn't there a war?" Li Qi asked.

"No, there doesn't seem to be even a garrison. The city is empty." Shen Shuibi replied.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qihan came down.

Wow, you won’t fall, right? What the hell, when you first arrive you find that the border town is an empty town?

"Well... I saw people evacuating on the road. They should be soldiers, all sergeants, but they don't seem to have been attacked. They should be evacuating peacefully. Are you going to ask?" Shen Shuibi asked.

"Okay, let's go and ask, which direction?" Li Qi said.

"West." She pointed the way.

The old horse didn't say much, soared into the sky, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and ran away quickly.

Galloping at lightning speed, great luck... ahem, in short, the old horse ran towards the west very fast.

Only about a quarter of an hour later, a legion did appear in front of Li Qi.

The regiment is neatly organized, disciplined, well-armed, and in good spirits. The military flag is an eagle.

In terms of cultivation, most of them are ordinary mortals who are not of the highest rank, but they basically have their own skills. Those who are at the level of the Thousand Commander seem to have ninth rank.

He didn't see the top officer directly, but there was a general's flag and a carriage, which should be inside, so Li Qi couldn't tell the top officer's cultivation level.

This legion totaled about ten thousand people, so it was not a large force.

These soldiers gathered together and walked leisurely. There were no wounded and no baggage was discarded. Therefore, it did not feel like a chaotic war, but rather like an ordinary march.

However, when Li Qi passed by, the army seemed to have discovered him.

After all, Li Qi is a bit too ostentatious now.

He was not bad looking at all, he was seven and a half feet tall, with a well-proportioned body and handsome appearance. His clothes were clean and tidy, and under his crotch was a dragon horse flying in the sky.

When the dragon and horse move, auspicious clouds follow and thunder surrounds them. Mortals may not be able to detect it because they are too far away, but practitioners who have reached the ninth level will hear a whistling sound, just like the whine of an airplane flying over.

If you look up and have good eyesight, you can see a beautiful woman sitting sideways behind him. She looks like a young nobleman out on a trip, with a chic air.

It is natural for people with this style of painting to be noticed when passing by the army.

After seeing that he was noticed, Li Qi said to Lao Ma: "Go down and I'll talk to them."

Hearing this, the old horse landed on the ground, snorted and neighed, and an electric snake suddenly swam around. The frightened soldiers immediately picked up their spears and formed a formation.

"You guys wait here, I'll go ask about the situation." Li Qi lowered his voice, got off his horse, and walked slowly towards the army.

Walking all the way to a distance of about a mile, Li Qi raised his hand to the guarding legions and said, "Fellow warriors, may I ask if this is the town gate of Bailin Kingdom?"

Whispers suddenly appeared in the legion, but they quickly quieted down under the scoldings of officers at all levels and continued to maintain their formation.

After the army formed a formation, you can see the soldiers' aura floating around, and the red energy blocking out the sun. Around the military flag, circles of aura were produced, like melons and vines connected, forming an illusory giant eagle with claws like sharp blades, staring closely at it. Li Qi.

Soon, I saw a military monk at the level of a thousand captains coming out. He was a ninth-grade warrior with considerable strength.

The captain held a long spear and said to Li Qi: "In front of you is Bailinguan Zhenguan. What does this gentleman want?"

"That's good. I'm just afraid that I'm going in the wrong direction. I'm Li Qi. This time I wanted to go to the Demon Nest of Devouring Heaven and cut off a few demon heads as a practice. I just found that there was no one at the gate. I was a little surprised. But the strong man said this As long as it's Zhenguan, since we're on the right track, let's continue moving forward." Li Qi turned around and wanted to leave.

However, as Li Qi expected, he saw the captain of thousands of people immediately saying to stay: "Young hero, please stay!"

Li Qi naturally knew that the other party would retain him.

An army that was evacuating its original defense area saw someone about to go to the war zone. If there was no expression, that would be too abnormal.

If the other party really doesn't want to save him, Li Qi will follow this army to see the actual situation.

Seeing that the captain left him alone, Li Qi turned around and said, "I don't know what a strong man is?"

"Young hero, are you going to the Sky-Devouring Demon's Nest? Do you know what happened there recently?" the captain shouted from the air.

"Has there been any change in the Sky-Swallowing Demon Nest?" Li Qi frowned, walked forward quickly, and directly approached the army.

The soldiers raised their guns nervously, but no one made any move without the officer's order.

The captain was also a little wary, and was about to make a sound to ask Li Qi to stop and not to come over casually, because this could easily cause misunderstanding.

The other party is a monk, who knows if he is a demon in disguise? The general hasn't spoken yet.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the carriage behind him, and the general spoke.

The voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the surrounding mountains and fields: "You said your name is Li Qi? But is it Li Qi, the witch who has become famous recently?"

"Ah? Famous?" Li Qi was stunned. He had never heard of his reputation.

But it's understandable, after all, he came all the way and never looked back.

"I have also heard on the front line that the wizard Li Qi has become famous in the Bailin Kingdom. He often performs chivalrous deeds without asking for anything in return. He walks along the way without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the ultimate goal is to swallow the demon nest and kill the demon. It is really admirable. ." From the carriage, a general came out, wearing armor and more than nine feet tall. Li Qicai only reached his chest.

Not only tall, but also strong, with a strong back and strong waist, muscles are knotted, and blood vessels are running like snakes under the muscles. He is full of evil spirit, and the martial arts energy is almost gushing out.

Li Qi could tell at a glance that this was the eighth level of martial arts! He is indeed the leader of an army.

This was the first time he saw a living eighth-level martial artist!

The reason is not difficult to understand, because the path of martial arts is extremely difficult.

To be honest, Li Qidu abolished his martial arts training after preparing to condense his soul. Without him, it would be too hard.

Practice boxing every day, and if you don't practice for one day, your cultivation will regress. It will also test your understanding to the extreme, and it is a pure ox-horse path.

Later, there would be a conflict with Wu Dao, so Li Qi was ready to just abolish it.

Therefore, seeing a living eighth-level martial artist at this moment made him very surprised.

Who is this? Oh no, who is this?

Facing the Eighth Grade, Li Qi still showed respect. He immediately raised his hand and asked: "I dare not boast in front of the general. I wonder why the general called me to stop?"

"Nothing, I just want to meet the famous young hero. By the way, I would like to remind you that there have been changes in the Sky-Swallowing Demon Nest. Going in recently may not be a good choice."
