Chapter 178 Sacrifice to Heaven
Three hours later.
Li Qi rode out of Guangyang City with a gloomy face.
There is no doubt that he was driven out by the Zhang family.
All signs indicate that what Wang Boyan said is true.
Guangyang Sima is a useless waste who is idle and neglects his duties.
Guangyang Situ is a rubbish without humanity. He can actually do such a thing as blood sacrifice to the town, and the reason is just to "guard against possible demons".
This Guangyang Prefecture is already rotten.
The Zhang family naturally cannot sell him food. He was driven out.
Thirteen hours have passed since I set out.
One day.
There is not much time left for me to waste, so Wang Boyan's proposal is my only choice at this moment.
Li Qi doesn't think Wang Boyan really wants to help me. He must have his own little calculations, but it doesn't matter. I can't ask everyone not to have their own thoughts.
As long as the other party can really get 300,000 stones of food, then I can accept it.
Li Qi rode his horse, galloping in the wilderness, thinking about the next arrangements and what precautions to take.
But he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped in the middle of the road while running.
It was quiet and surrounded by woods.
Li Qi sighed: "Who is it? Someone sent by Guangyang Situ?"
As Li Qi spoke, the atmosphere around him changed, and a middle-aged man in gray came.
"You have already entered the innate state at such a young age. It is true that heroes emerge from youth. However, how can you compare with me, who has just entered the innate state?" The middle-aged man in gray stood on the treetop, holding a piece of tender grass in his mouth, holding a sword in his arms, and looking down at Li Qi.
"Who are you?" Li Qi raised his head and looked at the man in gray.
His face was vicissitudes, his beard was untidy, and he wrapped the sword with some rags of linen. He stood on the leaves on his toes, but the leaves did not fall.
"You haven't heard of me? That's right, young people don't know the martial arts world, it's normal." The gray-clothed man shook his head: "I am Liu Sanlong, the Piaoxu Sword." "I learned sword at the age of three, refined bones at the age of five, killed five bandits in the deserted mountain with five swords at the age of seven, became famous within a radius of five thousand miles at the age of twelve, and entered the innate realm at the age of twenty. It has been twenty-three years to this day." "Twenty-three years, I have been in the martial arts world for too long. You are also in your twenties. You should also be a genius, just like me, but I have accumulated twenty-three years more than you." "Originally, I should have protected you to grow up for a junior like you, but unfortunately, you provoked people you shouldn't have provoked and did things you shouldn't have done. Today, I am entrusted by someone to come and take your life. Do you have anything else to ask?" The gray-clothed man said a series of words deeply. Li Qi was looking around. Only this one person? "Looking around in the face of a strong enemy, it seems that I overestimated you." The gray-clothed man shook his head. In this case, I have to take his life. The long sword in the gray-clothed man's arms was unsheathed.
The sword flashed, and only a crisp popping sound was heard.
A golden line passed by, and the half-drawn sword and the man were broken into two halves.
"I thought there were other people hiding... I didn't expect it was just one." Li Qi muttered, urging Lao Ma to continue running.
As for the other party's self-narration, he didn't even listen.
He was just a martial arts practitioner who had just entered the ninth rank. What kind of threat could he have.
I thought it was a siege, but I didn't expect it was just one person.
I was really underestimated.
Then, the whole journey was peaceful and uneventful.
It wasn't really peaceful and uneventful.
There were still some small flies.
But two golden lines were wrapped around Li Qi, following him like a shadow, beheading all the sneak attackers, and killing about ten people along the way, about two or three of them were ninth rank, and the rest were basically all small fish.
But it can be considered peaceful, even Lao Ma's steps were not hindered.
After that, no one came.
Soon, he returned to the manor of Jinlangmen.
He got off the horse and shouted, "Brother Wang, I'm back. When are we going to leave?"
Wang Baiyan came out and said, "We're ready! We'll leave right away!"
The two of them responded and set off together without any delay.
Not long after they left.
In Guangyang City, Situ Mansion.
The scenery here is beautiful. There are yellow stone walls all around, more than ten feet high, with dozens of houses in the middle, slanting the river wind and shattering the moon in the stream. There are three rooms in the front and three rooms in the back, with a small alley in the middle, corridors through trees, long strips and short lines.
At this moment, in the central room.
Guangyang Situ clenched his fists after listening to the people below report the situation.
"Piaoxu Sword, Shannan Brothers, Lu Tieji, He Yuxiu...are all dead?" Guangyang Situ asked.
"Yes..." The spy below reported tremblingly: "The bodies have been collected..."
"How is it possible? Isn't this person also a ninth-grade? I see that his cultivation is just entering the first grade. As a sorcerer, how is it possible that he doesn't have a god in his body?" Guangyang Situ was puzzled. He even put two "how is it possible" in his sentence, which was enough to show that he was very surprised.
An ordinary ninth-grade sorcerer, without a god in his body, and no special magic weapon, could actually kill several ninth-grades in a row!
You know, those ninth-grades are all famous people in the martial arts world of Guangyang Prefecture. They are not mediocre. At least they are the heads of a sect. They are also considered top-grade among the ninth-grades and have extraordinary strength.
"This person still has a trump card, so don't let others die. By the way, let the ancestor of the Zhang family take action. He is just a little bit closer to condensing martial arts and divine will. He has already reached the ultimate level of the ninth level. He should be able to stabilize Eat this person.”
"By the way, where is he now?" Guangyang Situ asked.
"I don't know, our other manpower hasn't returned yet." The spy below replied.
"Not back?" Guangyang Situ frowned.
Because he knew that if he hadn’t come back at this moment.
Then he probably won't be able to come back.
"Tsk, okay, okay! I said what's going on? It turns out there is someone behind him. The direction he went to is the granary outside the city at Jinlangmen. Is that the 'owner' standing behind him?"
"I thought this person really just wanted to save people with good intentions. Although he was ignorant, he was still a good person. I didn't intend to kill him. I didn't expect that he was just an outside dog. He wanted to hinder the formation of the formation. He had a wishful thinking. Go ahead! Forget it, don't give the order, I'll go there myself!" When Guangyang Situ thought of his boss, he became furious and immediately stood up and walked out of the door.
The spy was left wiping cold sweat on the spot, fearing that he would be angered.
When the spy saw Lord Situ walking away, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really difficult to build this big formation..."
After saying that, he recited a spell, his body turned into illusion, and he secretly left the place.
A good spy will not act casually.
————————
Not to mention those things, Li Qi, on his side, rode a dragon horse and rushed quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already entered the cave.
It is worthy of being the cave abode after the seventh-level powerhouse left. It contains a cave sky. Entering it, the sky is high and the sky is wide, just like a paradise.
It's just that it's empty inside. Everything has been emptied out a long time ago, and nothing is left. Even the potted plants, lawns, fish, birds and other things are gone.
Really digging three feet into the ground...
"In a place like this, Brother Wang can actually discover the hidden small world. He is really... keen." Li Qi raised his head and looked at the scene in the cave that seemed to have been scratched. The corners of his eyes twitched.
"Haha, how could we have found that small world without this search? Brother Li, come with me, it's right here." Wang Baiyan walked forward with a smile and stood in front of a picture on the wall.
Li Qi followed and took a look, only to find that the mural was painted with a picture of a hundred scenes.
There are oceans, deserts, cities, mountains, rivers and mountains, armies, and celestial phenomena.
The world is vast, the world is prosperous, the natural wonders are magnificent, and all kinds of beautiful scenery are all in it.
Before he had time to finish reading, he saw Wang Baiyan wave his hand gently, and the picture broke open. There was a vortex in it, and a tearing force appeared, trying to pull Li Qi into it.
However, his strength was not strong, and Li Qi easily stabilized his body.
But Wang Baiyan took the initiative to take two steps forward, walked in, and disappeared into the whirlpool.
Li Qi saw this and felt it.
His sixth sense told him there was no danger.
Then he believed it.
After all, Wu Jin's sixth sense is not a joke, but a real feeling.
Therefore, Li Qi also stepped forward and walked in, and Lao Ma followed suit.
After walking out, Li Qi felt dizzy.
Then, he appeared in a desert.
In the desert, the scorching sun shines on the sand, setting off waves of heat that make people unable to open their eyes.
If you stay here for a while, even your skin may be blown open and cracked.
The blazing sun in the sky, the hot wind around you that can blow your skin off, and the hot sand under your feet that can be used for barbecue, all make people feel like they are walking in hell.
It was noon at the moment, and the blazing sunshine overhead made all the creatures in the desert hide except for cacti or sea buckthorn. Even bugs hid under the thick sand dunes to escape the heat.
"Here..." As soon as Li Qi arrived here, he felt a repulsive force.
"It turns out that this is how it feels." Li Qi recalled, comparing the difference between this place and the oil industry.
The Earth Oil World did not reject them. The Heavenly Way of that world had been refined, so it was well restrained.
But the way of heaven in this world is different. It is still full of wild and barbaric atmosphere, and the way of heaven here is frantically trying to exclude them.
However, this is just a small, unworthy world, so it cannot be pushed out. It only suppresses part of Li Qi's power.
According to the classification of the outside world, the world is classified according to the highest level of practitioners it can bear. The way of heaven cannot support the existence of another thing of the same level.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao in this world is generally one level higher than the world level. In other words, in an eighth-grade world like the Earth Oil World, the Heavenly Dao's ability can reach the seventh level.
In such a non-ranked world, the way of heaven is the ninth rank.
The Tiandao here is at the same level as Li Qi and others.
However, Li Qi also knew one thing, that is, the way of heaven is the most top-notch in any grade.
They are truly the best. The book says that in this world's way of heaven, except for a few favored ones, they will generally crush them when facing opponents of the same level.
What is crushing?
This is probably what Li Qi looked like when he killed the other ninth-grade men at noon today.
Of course, Heavenly Dao has spirit but no wisdom, so it usually won't take the initiative.
After confirming the surrounding situation, Li Qi no longer thought about anything else, but turned to look at Wang Baiyan:
"Brother Wang, how much fighting power do you have left?" Li Qi asked.
Wang Baiyan clenched his fist, tested his strength, and then replied: "50% left."
"I'm better than you, 80% left." Li Qi said.
Wang Baiyan nodded after hearing this: "That's good, it's right to ask you. Wusha has a natural affinity with heaven and earth. Although the heavenly way of this place hates outsiders, it is still more tolerant of you."
Then, he continued:
"Then please Brother Li set up a heavenly sacrifice ceremony to communicate with the heavenly way of this place for me. I was excluded before and couldn't do anything here. The crops I planted here would die. If I plundered the country here, there would be a son of destiny to oppose me, and I would always lose. Even if I was mining minerals or hunting animals, there would be accidents. There is really no way to deal with this world."
"I'll try it first." Li Qi nodded.
I guess all this is in the other party's consideration, including the fact that I am a witch.
So, it seems that Wang Boyan has been eyeing him for a long time?
Li Qi was thinking about what Wang Boyan was planning in secret, but he didn't stop working.
The ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven requires offering wine, adhering to the etiquette of reporting, sweeping the floor and offering sacrifices, offering the best pickles, frying salt, burning firewood on the altar, and then reporting to heaven.
Li Qi also offered sacrifices to heaven in the oil industry, but he didn't prepare anything that time, just going for ridicule, so he didn't need to prepare extra sacrifices.
But it's different now. This time he is really ready to have a good chat with the heaven of this world, so he still needs to prepare sacrifices and offerings.
Fortunately, Wang Boyan seems to have been prepared.
Whatever Li Qi wants, he can actually take it out.
"Brother Wang, aren't you a little too prepared..." Li Qi was a little uneasy, glancing at him.
Wang Boyan explained: "I sell food after all... It's normal to carry these in the mustard bag, aren't they all food?"
"What about the firewood for the burnt offering? Can this be prepared in advance?" Li Qi asked while preparing the altar.
Wang Boyan opened the folding fan and laughed: "Haha, coincidence, coincidence, I picked it up before, and I didn't expect it to be useful at this time."
Li Qi did not comment.
He continued to arrange the altar.
However, at this time, a strong wind suddenly blew.
"The sandstorm is coming... Hey, you see, I said, if you are rejected by the way of heaven, you will always encounter such things." Wang Boyan sighed.
The sandstorm has no killing power for them, but it can hinder the progress of the sacrifice. Obviously, Wang Boyan is powerless against this natural phenomenon.
But Li Qi is different.
"It doesn't matter." Li Qi said.
Then, he gently pressed on the ground and pressed out a sand pit.
