Myriad Paths

Two quarters of an hour later.

Li Qi, Boyue, and Le Ya all sat together in the secret manor of Xia Jiumen.

However, to this day, most people in Guangyang City don't know what happened, so apart from the earthquake and the flash outside the horizon that caused some disturbance, it was actually... quite peaceful.

Of course, the leaders of the major forces should have known about the matter of the Master of Wushen Mountain. After all, Le Ya saluted in public, which could not be faked.

However, more ordinary people were only at a loss about this. They didn't know that they almost died just now, nor did they know that another group of people fought hard to save their lives.

Died unclearly, lived in confusion, this is probably their current situation.

However, Li Qi did these things, and he didn't plan to publicize them loudly, so he didn't care much about them.

What he cares more about now is that he finally got in touch with Wushen Mountain...

Really... I want to cry.

Sad.

Someone backed me up.

As for the sadness, it was because I was the one who came by the way.

Le Ya came because he sensed that Boyue was in danger.

Although Li Qi had this in mind when he called Boyue over at the beginning, thinking that Boyue should have a protector... But now that he saw it...

Indeed, he felt a little unbalanced.

But those were all trivial matters.

As soon as he sat down, Li Qi spoke immediately.

"Senior Le Ya." Li Qi bowed.

However, Le Ya waved his hand to stop Li Qi from continuing.

Li Qi was stunned, but still kept silent.

Boyue was vomiting blood with a pale face beside him. The backlash of the mountain and water formation being forcibly interrupted was too severe. He had not recovered yet and could only listen but not speak.

The little world of the human body was torn apart, and half of his life was gone. Fortunately, there were some precious spiritual medicines on his body. He took them to keep his life, otherwise he might really die on the mountain.

But while wiping the blood casually, he still pricked up his ears and listened to Le Ya's words.

Both of them knew that although Le Ya respected them very much, he would greet them and call them Young Master when they met, but the other party was a fifth-rank person and he had to be respected.

If he was so arrogant that he could not recognize his true situation just because of his status and potential, he would be a mediocre person among mediocre people.

Le Ya saw that the two young masters had stopped talking and were ready to listen to him. He nodded slightly and said, "First, Young Master Boyue, my appearance this time means that you have failed this time."

Boyue smiled bitterly.

He spit out blood while laughing, looking miserable.

"But--" Le Ya immediately changed the subject.

This startled speech made Boyue cough several times, his face turned two points paler, and he quickly took out the medicine bottle and drank another sip.

Li Qi, who was standing next to him, felt sympathetic and couldn't help feeling a sense of grief for the rabbit's death.

"However, I have a general understanding of what happened. This time, you two joined forces, relying only on some simple local resources, and almost did not rely on the mountain gate. You just raised a name to scare people. You used the body of the ninth rank to fight against the seventh rank. This kind of record is really rare and can be regarded as a model of the weak defeating the strong. In the end, the other party's master came and the fifth rank came in person. There was nothing you could do, so the failure was excusable."

These words made Boyue's face rosier, and Li Qi was not so nervous.

"But!" He immediately frowned again.

Li Qi reacted quickly and hurriedly stepped forward to support Boyue, using the wood energy of the big forest to help him relieve his blood and qi, so that he would not die here in a startle.

If he didn't die on the battlefield, but was scared to death by his own people, it would really go down in history.

Fortunately, Boyue couldn't speak now, otherwise he would probably curse.

But Le Ya seemed not to see it, and said to himself: "But this battle is still considered a loss. Gongzi Yue lost by accident, which is understandable, but this young master..."

"I am Li Qi!" Li Qi immediately let go of Boyue and bowed his hand to say his name.

Le Ya's expression became serious, and he said with a straight face: "Well, Gongzi Qi, Gongzi Yue followed your actions and encountered force majeure. His failure is understandable, but you have no reason to explain."

"The ninth rank went against the seventh rank, with good spirit and courage, but didn't you assess the risks? Taking risks to prove yourself is definitely not what a wise man does."

"What you do is layout and planning, and you are a wise military advisor, but you only focus on showing off your skills, calculating people's hearts, and calculating strategies, but you made a mistake that a wise man should not make at the beginning."

"You should have expected that the fifth rank would come, why didn't you prepare in advance? Why did you have to hold on to your dignity? Where is your protector? Why don't you invest more resources?"

"What a planner should do is to unify Plan and dispatch resources, put the most suitable things and people in the most suitable place, predict risks, judge the situation, and then make the most strategic decision. "

"You have done well in other aspects, whether it is dispatching or commanding, and it is difficult to do better in prediction, but tell me, why didn't you predict the arrival of a stronger person? Why didn't you make a plan? If I didn't come, would you two die? And whether I come or not is not up to you. "

"There is no plan for the worst case scenario. You obviously have resources in your hands, but you choose to put yourself in danger for your own glory and achievements. It is the act of a brave man, not a wise man. Now, Gongzi Qi, do you have anything to defend yourself?"

Le Ya frowned and waited for Li Qi's answer.

Li Qi, on the other hand, only smiled bitterly after hearing this, but he didn't offer any excuses. Instead, he handed over his hands and replied: "Senior taught me a lesson."

Seeing that Li Qi had a good attitude, Le Ya's expression also relaxed a little, but he still said earnestly: "You are all the proud sons of heaven. In the future, you will climb to the third level. You are different from people like me who have reached the end of their journey." Same."

"I also know that you have outstanding abilities and amazing talents, so you are very ambitious and always want to prove yourself."

"That's why you have to pay more attention. No matter what you do, you must plan every step. On the road, if you take a wrong step, you will make mistakes every step of the way. Now that you are still young, you must pay more attention and don't be deceived. eyes."

It was clear that he was a ninth-grade person, and planned to attack the seventh-grade through planning. Such a shocking thing, but in the eyes of Le Ya, he still failed.

This requirement... is incredibly strict.

However, Li Qi still nodded: "Thank you, senior, for your advice. Li Qi will keep it in mind."

Seeing Li Qi's sincere look, Le Ya nodded with relief: "Then please, Master Qi, step back for a moment. I'm going to heal Master Yue's injuries. After all, it's not a problem to keep vomiting blood."

"Okay." Li Qi stood up and patted Boyue on the shoulder: "Then I'll go out first, and then I'll talk to you alone."

Boyue was patted by him, and he spat out another mouthful. His eyes were already in a trance when he opened them.

Seeing this, Le Ya waved his hand, and Li Qi was pushed out, knocked open the door, and landed smoothly outside.

He shrugged helplessly and went to find Shen Shuibi.

There are still a lot of things to do to deal with the aftermath, and we can't stop now.

Wait until Li Qi leaves.

Le Ya put a hand on Boyue and began to heal his injuries.

Reconstruct the personal world.

All the cracks were quickly repaired.

The horrific injuries that could cut off the path in places like other Zhengjian Palaces were dealt with within two minutes.

"Huh..." Boyue breathed a long sigh of relief, and his breathing became smoother.

Le Ya did not stop, but stared at Boyue and said: "Okay, now that we have finished talking about Gongzi Qi's problem, it's time to talk about your problem, Gongzi Yue. Didn't you realize that you were invited by him to do this? ——”

Boyue interrupted Le Ya's words and shook his head helplessly: "Wait, Grandpa Le, you blame the wrong person, I am embarrassed for you... Why don't others call on more resources? Do you know that his master who is it?"

"Who is it?" Le Ya frowned.

Boyue made a three sign with his fingers, and then whispered: "Wish..."

Then, he stopped abruptly and did not continue.

But Le Ya was stunned.

Then, he stood up, clapped his hands violently, and suddenly realized.

I see!

No wonder!

He also thought that Young Master Qi took risks for the sake of glory and achievements, and to show his abilities.

Now he learned about his master.

I see--

No wonder, no wonder, Young Master Qi was cautious in all his plans. Although he took risks, he minimized the risks as much as possible and incorporated every variable into the plan as much as possible.

The person who can make such an arrangement is probably not the type who likes to take big gambles.

I thought he was young and energetic and wanted to prove himself, but I thought I was wrong about him.

He is not young and vigorous.

He has no other choice!

So, bringing Gong Ziyue over was also part of his arrangement? The purpose is to have a helper and a guarantee when recruiting Gong Ziyue.

That guarantee is yourself.

And he did come here because of Young Master Qi's arrangement, and blocked the final danger for him.

Linked together.

Wonderful!

I had wrongly blamed him. Instead of being careless, he had calculated everything very carefully!

However, he really had no other choice but to risk his troops.

After all, he was that disciple, so he must have suffered a lot, right?

Seeing Le Ya's appearance, Boyue curled his lips: "It's a good thing that others didn't expose you to your face, otherwise you would be embarrassed."

"I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. I'm afraid of misunderstanding him. No, I have to go to him quickly to apologize. I can't misjudge others." Hearing this, Le Ya quickly stood up, opened the door and prepared to walk out.

Boyue slapped the table from behind: "Hey! You are my protector!"

Le Ya was not angry, stroked his beard and said, "You can't die here!"

After saying that, he hurried out, leaving Boyue sitting alone in the room.

He didn't dare to move either.

The injury has not yet healed, and he will probably have to sit there for an hour or two to wait for the tiny gap in his small world to close on its own.

Damn it, you don’t even know how to help me lie down!

This old man!

——————————

As for Li Qi, he was still walking on the road.

But he saw Le Ya suddenly running out from behind, running up to him, and then solemnly apologized to him.

Li Qi didn't even expect this.

He waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, senior, I was serious. It was indeed my fault that I failed to prepare in advance. Although it seemed like a complete victory this time, in fact, the process was full of luck and guesswork, and the casualties were also very serious."

Thinking of this, Li Qi sighed:

"Tens of thousands of mountains and rivers in Guangyang were seriously injured or even dead. Nearly half of the White Rhinoceros Army and other Guangyang armies were destroyed. Guangyang Sikong was seriously injured and the Rat King was slightly injured. The mountains and rivers formation collapsed. Reconstruction is far away. Guangyang Earth Lines If it is cut off, I am afraid that the food harvest will be cut off for ten years. During this period, the wild animals will be infertile, the rivers will dry up, and the fish and insects will not grow.”

"They say they saved Guangyang, but...is Guangyang really saved?"

Li Qi sighed and looked up at the street.

The people of Guangyang had no idea what was about to happen.

In the future, if Guangyang does not flee to other states, they may all starve to death.

Le Ya, who had just apologized, slightly nodded when he saw Li Qi like this, and then said: "In that case, does the young master still remember the duty of blessing people? Can he still remember the path he decided?"

Li Qi immediately handed over his hand and solemnly replied: "Communicate between heaven and earth, people, gods and ghosts, communicate what is needed and what is not, mediate in the middle, and achieve justice."

After receiving the answer, Le Ya nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to the street outside the yard: "At this moment, in Guangyang Prefecture, the weather is scarce, the earth's energy is exhausted, the gods are severely injured, and the demons and ghosts are seriously injured. Only people can be saved. At this time What should the situation be like?”

Li Qi was so excited!

yes!

Why didn't he think of it before? ?

Blessing people is not just on their side.

What he wants to maintain is the balance of the entire world and the entire 'Tao'. This is a situation that is good for everyone.

If the world itself tilts, it will only lead to destruction.

The way of balance is the key to the survival of all things!

Li Qi's reaction was like an enlightenment.

He quickly handed over his hands and said seriously: "Thank you, senior, for the tip. I'll make preparations now!"

He was going to coordinate all the people, gather popularity, perform great sacrifices to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and replenish the vitality of Guangyang.

This is also for the good of everyone.

If Guangyang is really allowed to have no harvest for ten years, will the people living here be able to survive alone?

The entire ecology, the entire world, are inherently complementary to each other.

The right path is the way that can make the whole world run smoothly.

Seeing that Li Qi was still so alert and could get through with just a tap, Le Ya touched his beard and nodded: "Young master, go ahead. However, presiding over the sacrifices of people from a state is still too much for your cultivation. If you need help, feel free to come to me. I have been here recently. As compensation for wrongly blaming the young master, please accept the bodies of the two monks and use them as sacrifices. After all, popularity alone may not be enough. ah."

"Thank you, senior. I'll take care of it right away." Li Qi bowed solemnly and left in a hurry.

Leave the finishing touches to Wang Baiyan. Although this guy will definitely take advantage of the situation and make profits, if something goes wrong, just beat him until he vomits everything out.

The top priority is what Le Ya said.

He was going to prepare a sacrifice.

A grand festival with at least tens of millions of people participating, gathering popularity to give back to the world and bring back the destroyed mountains and rivers!
