Myriad Paths

Li Qi's answer is obviously correct.

The Human Emperor does have such a situation.

As the absolute supreme human being, a first-class man in the world, and a first-class man in every generation, and the ultimate macho man with the first-class official title of "Tiance General", the Human Emperor is definitely one of the most powerful and terrifying among the first-class people.

But such an ultimate macho man was unexpectedly short-lived.

Each generation of Human Emperors did not live long, and it could even be said that they might not be able to survive without Li Qi.

This situation directly led to the situation that although the Emperor was strong, he might not understand, so the Hanlin Academy appeared and a bunch of Hanlins were appointed as the Emperor's think tank advisors.

The Hanlin Academy encompasses everything. It has been said before that "the Hanlin, where the public is located, must have scholars of literature, poetry, and Confucianism, ranging from divination to medical skills. They are all placed in other courtyards to prepare for Yan to see them. This place is the world's Wherever one is called upon by one’s art and skill.”

Their duty is to accompany the Emperor, and when called upon, they will immediately go to provide him with useful advice and knowledge.

The existence of the Hanlin Academy is equivalent to telling the whole world that the Human Emperor does not know much and his life span is not long.

Because if the Human Emperor has a long enough lifespan, all this will not be needed at all, and Hanlin will no longer have the meaning of existence. The Human Emperor can learn all kinds of skills by himself and become the most knowledgeable people in the universe. one.

Moreover, if nothing else, let’s just talk about the past few hundred years.

It really only took a few hundred years. To a high-level practitioner, it was just yesterday.

That was a huge rebellion in humanity. The previous Human Emperor died there, and it had only been a few hundred years since the new Human Emperor took office.

All of this indicates one thing.

The Human Emperor is a consumable.

It may be a bit hip to say it, but as the absolute supreme and only leader of humanity, the Human Emperor is actually just a consumable, and will be used up and die every once in a while.

And it’s real death. Don’t even think about reincarnation.

Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva sat opposite Li Qi and said with a smile: "The Human Emperor is a first-class person, but he dies so easily, and even lives shorter than some fifth-class people. Do you have any guesses? Don't be afraid, just talk casually. , Human nature would not be so stingy.”

"Junior doesn't know." Li Qi shook his head decisively.

How dare he guess such a thing? He is only a small sixth-grade person. Even if he is bold and dares to guess, he will definitely be wrong.

Who knows what happened to the Human Emperor?

Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva still looked indifferent: "I still want you to guess, but since you don't guess and don't know, how dare you come to me?"

"It's because I don't know that I dare to come. If everyone knew, I would never be able to leave the Witch God Mountain in this life." Li Qi laughed at himself with a wry smile.

"Really? It is indeed possible. Well, since you have come here and are so determined...then I still can't tell you directly. I'd better ask you first. Come here, What do you want to do? Don’t say I can see it. Sometimes you know... what you think in your heart is different from what you say. "

Li Qi immediately raised his hand and said: "This junior is absolutely consistent with his words and has never deceived me."

"I believe you are not lying, but sometimes, what you think in your heart may not be what you really think. Only when you say it, you will know whether you really think that. If not... you will deny it yourself." Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva said this. At the same time, a plate of cherries suddenly appeared in her hand, and she ate it by herself, waiting for Li Qi's answer.

Sakura lips, cherry lips, these two words are probably used to describe such a scene.

Looking at the beauty who looked nothing like a Bodhisattva, Li Qi calmed down and felt that what the other party said made sense.

Sometimes, you think you think so, but in fact you don’t, and you won’t even be able to tell what you are thinking.

That's why you need to think, think first, then examine, pull out the many thoughts in your heart, torture them one by one, fight between heaven and man, and finally get what you really want.

Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva asked Li Qi to speak out, not because he really wanted to hear what he had to say, but because he wanted Li Qi to clarify his thoughts and figure out what he wanted to do.

Only with a firm mind can Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva cooperate with Li Qi.

Otherwise, Li Qi himself would not be able to make up his mind. When the cooperation is decided, Li Qi regrets it, and the harm will not be as simple as one or two.

After understanding the meaning of Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva, Li Qi closed his eyes and began to consider his sentences.

What do you want?

There is no doubt that Li Qi came here for two purposes, which he had already thought of.

First, visit the West to find Buddhist methods of suppressing demons, and strive to suppress your own demonic thoughts to a certain extent. In this way, you can suppress the interference of the demons on you.

After all, no matter how powerful the demon is, it is still under the suppression of the Qing Jing Law and the Colorless Realm Heaven. It is impossible for Hengjiao to go out and come in every day, and he will really be beaten.

Second... this time the fight is against humanity, and it may even be a complete human-witch war, and there are real dragons intervening, so Li Qi wants to find a powerful person who has a grudge against humanity to help him. As a hidden weapon, insurance can greatly improve Shen Shuibi's safety factor.

That should be all, right?

Li Qi thought about it again and again, and then said everything he was thinking, without hiding anything.

After listening to Li Qi's words, Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Is that all?"

"I myself don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, but when I think about it now, that's all I have. I hope the Bodhisattva will make it clear." Li Qi answered directly.

Bodhisattva, please clarify. This is very straightforward. It is tantamount to telling the other party directly: "You can figure out what you want to do. If it works, then withdraw."

"Okay, then I'll make it clear. It's actually very simple. I just want to know, do you really have the courage to fall out with humanity? You know, I actually really want to join forces with Wu Dao, especially with someone like you. Young Master, after all, there is a dispute between witchcraft and humanity. If it were not for some reasons, I would not want to contact the great witches directly, otherwise I would not wait until now. "Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva is really straightforward and directly chooses. Clearly.

She looked at Li Qi and said seriously: "If you do this by yourself, then there is actually no grudge between you and humanity, only a dispute between Tao and Dao. But if you drag me along, then cause and effect will be involved. Young Young Master, do you really have the courage...to stand on the opposite side of humanity?"

After Li Qi heard this, he felt angry in his heart.

Even when facing the third grade, he could not hold back his anger.

courage.

Courage again.

Teacher Zhu Fengdan mentions it every day, and now Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva also mentions it.

Is it possible that Li Qi is really a soft-shelled egg? Does anyone have to be suspicious?

Li Qi was furious, but he was also rational. Now he is no longer affected by emotions.

Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, on the other hand, glanced at Li Qi curiously. She could clearly see the anger in Li Qi's heart.

Did it irritate him?

Hmm... But, fortunately, at least I didn't do anything reckless out of anger.

Bravery is not recklessness.

What is recklessness?

If you are excited by someone's words and rush out to challenge a powerful enemy, then you are not brave, you are just controlled by anger.

In this case, if the enemy scares you, you may be frightened again, your blood will become cold, and you will be controlled by the emotion of fear, and you will become a deserter.

Therefore, reckless behavior can appear to be brave, but it is not truly brave. It is very likely that at the critical moment, as well as being controlled by anger, it will be controlled by fear. How can it be achieved by going back and forth like this?

Fortunately, although Li Qi does not have real courage, his reason is more than enough. He will not be controlled by anger, which means that he will not be controlled by fear.

Is this the edge of courage?

When Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva thought of this, Li Qi suddenly spoke.

"Bodhisattva, my master has also told me your suggestion, but... Li Qi is stupid and has not been able to think about what true courage is." Li Qi clasped his hands together and made a posture of worshiping the Buddha.

Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva did not speak, but looked at Li Qi seriously, waiting for his answer, because Li Qi was obviously not ready to plead guilty and leave.

"It's just that, although he doesn't know what courage is, Li Qi also knows that there are specialties in the art industry. Some people are born to be fearless. They have courage in their chests and are not afraid of strong enemies or life and death." Li Qi said.

When he said this, he thought of his old friend from Zhengjian Palace, Zhang Lan.

He just belongs to the type who has a natural chivalrous spirit in his chest. Even if he challenged Monk Zen Zhi as an eighth-grade person, he never had the slightest fear and was always free and easy.

Li Qi couldn't do it because it was the other person's characteristic, not Li Qi's.

"But -" he changed the topic: "Although Li Qi doesn't understand what it is, I also have my own characteristics, which is that I am good at meditating. Although I am slow, I will never make mistakes."

"I don't know if I have the courage to completely stand on the opposite side of humanity. However, this decision is something I have carefully considered. It is a plan I have thought about for more than ten years. This is not a decision made because of courage, but because I made a rational decision, and I felt that only by doing this could I possibly protect my wife’s life.”

"So, Bodhisattva, don't worry that I will shrink back."

Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva glanced at Li Qi, and then said to him: "I understand your reason, but do you know? The reason why I want to ask you about courage is because sometimes the result of reason is to retreat. "

"When you rationally weigh everything and choose to retreat, what then?"

Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva pointedly asked this point.

Li Qi smiled freely, canceled the posture of worshiping the Buddha, raised his head and said: "Then we have to ask the Bodhisattva about his courage. Is the Bodhisattva willing to take this risk? I can't bear everything, right? Does the Bodhisattva have the courage? To bear the consequences of my escape?"

As soon as Li Qi said this, Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva smiled.

"Well, of course I have it."

—————————

One day later, Li Qi bid farewell to Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva. He was exhausted by the third-level test.

Just a little trick before starting made Li Qi exhausted, but... fortunately it was settled.

At the same time, he also learned the reason why the Human Emperor was short-lived.

Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva said something to him.

"If you accept the country's filth, you are called the master of the country; if you accept the country's misfortune, you are the king of the world."

As the Supreme of Humanity, enjoying the combined power of the entire Humanity, and being able to be promoted to the first level the moment he takes the throne, it is not without cost.

To accept the power of the entire humanity is to bear the weight of the entire humanity.

We must single-handedly carry the entire human world, including the dragon veins, the cardinals of all realms, the entire imperial court, and even all the people, and the countless human worlds in the heavens, all tied to the shoulders of the Human Emperor.

Just to say a little bit——

Hundreds of years ago, Humanity encountered a major rebellion. The rebels even reached Chang'an, forcing the previous Emperor to self-destruct his dragon veins. In the end, everyone worked together and paid a huge price to finally preserve the remaining foundation of Humanity.

This happened only a few hundred years ago, but now in Chang'an and today's humanity, can we see any signs of weakness?

Li Qi personally went to Chang'an and stayed in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. He could not feel the slightest breath of disaster, even among those who had lived for tens of thousands of years and even those who had personally experienced the great turmoil. There is no decadence to be seen, but everything is full of vitality.

The reason for all this is because of the death of the previous human emperor.

The previous generation of human emperors died of exhaustion.

According to Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, the previous generation of human emperors made choices one by one at nearly infinite historical turning points and completed unspeakable and exaggerated tasks, which were quite exaggerated even for a first-class person.

He was seriously injured and even self-destructed the dragon's veins, but the Human Emperor still did it. In the end, he died of exhaustion, and the current Human Emperor inherited his position.

Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva did not say directly how this was accomplished, but her original words were: "History is composed of countless choices. As long as you interfere with all choices, you can interfere with history."

Li Qi didn't dare to think about what happened.

Of all the choices, who owns them?

All in the world? Or... everything in the universe?

Does the package include other items?

Forget it, there is no need to care about these things. After all, when the other party said this, he probably just wanted to see that Li Qitui did not flinch.

Fortunately, although Li Qi was scared, he did not retreat.

As a result, the two parties formally reached a cooperation, and Li Qi also obtained some secret knowledge, some secrets about the Humanitarian War Department, which may be useful on the battlefield in the future.

Li Qi also contributed corresponding knowledge to this, mainly including some of the humane conditions he saw in Chang'an, mainly matters in Shangyuan.

After all, Shangyuan is the romantic center of Chang'an, and there are still many things that can be used.

This information is of little use to Li Qi, and it will never involve any secrets, but the clues may give Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva a little inspiration, allowing her to make a better judgment.

After finishing the work here, Li Qi got up and prepared to visit the "all heavens".
