Myriad Paths

On the East China Sea, on the small fishing boat that Li Qi casually pulled out, the two of them looked at each other.

Li Qi didn't expect that when he went fishing, the person he caught was actually the old man Shen Yijun who taught him how to fish.

how to say……

Those who fish for people will always fish for them?

The Shenyi Army has been really miserable these years. After the hell incident and Li Qi's escape, I'm afraid things are not over yet.

The dragon-slaying team must have been caught by Ao Guangxiao. Ao Guangxiao didn't seem to let them go, but ripped them apart and removed all the things related to the real dragon in their bodies.

Although I didn't kill them, it was no different from killing them. I don't know what kind of price was paid to keep them alive.

Li Dao must have taken action, otherwise Ao Guangxiao would never let them go.

After that, I'm afraid they will be imprisoned thousands of miles deep under the sea? Until this time, Li Qi threw the fishhook, probably to the side, and happened to rescue him.

When Li Qi thought of this, a bunch of thoughts came to his mind, but he still suppressed it. He walked over, sat down, and said to Shen Yijun: "Old man, it is really fate to meet at this time. What's going on, the whole story, and Let me tell you."

Shen Yijun sighed: "Oh, it is indeed fate, how can you say it? Cause and effect, I killed the real dragon and got this result, but I never thought that when I spent two days with you on the boat, I would get this result again, and still It’s really...things are unpredictable.”

"So, how did you get caught by me?" Li Qi was curious.

"That's a long story. Do you have any wine?" Shen Yijun leaned back.

"I don't drink much, so I didn't prepare any good wine, but ordinary wine, freshly brewed is fine." Li Qi smiled, and then took out a bunch of spiritual herbs from the mustard bag.

The reason why wine is intoxicating is because of the qi of the rice wine.

As the saying goes, when the qi of the qujiang disappears, it turns into water, and in this way it turns into wine. Li Qi twisted these spiritual grasses to dry them slightly, mixed them with the qujiang, and began to use magic techniques to catalyze them.

This is definitely not as good as the Xianjia Lingjiu brewed by the brewing masters, but it can be considered a good product used in witchcraft rituals. It is also considered good, and the materials used are not bad.

However, Shen Yijun looked at Li Qi's technique and said: "The rice must be ready, the rice must be in season, the wine must be pure, the water must be fragrant, the pottery must be good, and the fire must be perfect. If the six are perfect, you will get glutinous rice." , you kid, you didn’t say you knew how to make wine when you were fishing.”

"Witches, they are more or less good at it. This is the skill of taking care of food." Li Qi explained while operating the spiritual grass.

Li Qi knew how to make wine, because many sacrificial rituals required the use of wine, and all required it to be new wine, which would not be good if aged, so it had to be brewed at any time, so Li Qi would make it on site.

Shen Yijun didn't answer. He seemed a little tired. He leaned against the mast and snored, as if he had fallen asleep.

Li Qi didn't rush him either.

We are all immortals, so we don’t lack this little time.

Li Qi slowly made wine like this, mixing the spirit grass, beans, koji, and polygonum together, pounding it into chyle, grinding it for a day, and then using magic to catalyze it, using the method of the human body's small world to rotate through the four seasons to speed up the brewing of the wine. It only takes half a day to complete.

Li Qi then placed the wine cups and opened the altar.

He kept the wine cup with him, and the witchcraft silkworm still has it at that time.

When the altar was opened and the aroma of wine came out, Shen Yijun's nose twitched. He woke up from his sleep and was not polite. He grabbed the wine cup, picked up a cup, and drank happily. He drank thirty-nine cups in a row, and felt that The qi and blood are flowing smoothly, all diseases are eliminated, the body is light and healthy, and he praises again and again: "Yes, good wine, good wine!"

He asked again: "Okay, now there is wine to go with it, but there is a little taste missing in the mouth, but is there meat?"

Li Qi smiled and said: "There is no meat, there are two fish."

After saying this, he threw out the big fish that he had not eaten for more than forty days, and even took out the seventh-grade beast and the eight-hundred-mile-long fish from the fish basket.

When Shen Yijun saw this, he laughed loudly, jumped deep and jumped onto the big fish. Although it was eight hundred miles long, he took a sharp breath and swallowed the whole big fish into his belly.

Looking at the big fish that Li Qi had already grilled, his body suddenly expanded and turned into a giant. He caught it, bit it in one bite, and finished it in two or three bites. Then his body shrank and returned to normal.

After eating and drinking, his martial arts energy was greatly replenished. His face became much rosier and he shouted many times: "Okay, okay, okay!"

"Thank you, brother. I remember your kindness. By the way, what did you want to ask just now?"

"Oh, I just want to ask what happened to the old man these years, and how did he end up like this?" Li Qi asked.

"It's okay to talk after we've had enough wine and food. In fact, after you left, brother, a few of us were arrested, and then what you saw, that bastard Ao Guangxiao——"

Shen Yijun cursed and began to talk about his experiences in the past few decades.

It's pretty much the same as what Li Qi guessed.

The dragon-slaying team of the Shenyi Army was finally forced to face Ao Guangxiao. With the help of Li Dao, most of them escaped, but in the end Ao Guangxiao took a fierce breath, and the Shenyi Army blocked the blow for his brothers. , the real dragon part in the body was quickly peeled off.

Ao Guangxiao then used his magical power to bind him to the bottom of the sea and said: "You like fishing, then wait for someone to catch you! Let's see if you have such luck!"

It turned out that the magical power used by Ao Guangxiao was actually a curse from the witchcraft.

But it's normal. As perfect creatures, true dragons have almost no Taoist disputes. It is said that their inner world can be reshaped at will, and they can do whatever they want, so they can practice all magic, although they cannot master the real Tao. , but the simulation technique is unique, so real dragons have countless forms and areas of expertise. Each real dragon is highly customized, some have wings, some don't have wings, and some even look like turtles. .

The so-called "antlers like a deer, head like a cow, eyes like a shrimp, mouth like a donkey, belly like a snake, scales like a fish, feet like a phoenix, beard like a human, ears like an elephant" are actually the abilities of a true dragon. reflect.

However, the result of this is also visible to the naked eye, that is, the inner world of the real dragon can be used as equipment and embedded in the body of the practitioner without any rejection reaction. This is what the old man Shenyi Jun likes to do.

There is nothing special about the way a real dragon masters curses.

The Shenyi Army was cursed and suppressed in the sea. The way to relieve the curse was to be fished up.

How vast is the East China Sea? He was seriously injured and sealed so that he couldn't move at will. He just stayed in the water waiting for a fishhook. If he was unlucky, it would take thousands of years.

Once buried in the water, it will last more than seventy years.

However, he was lucky. It was not until today that Li Qi swung the pole down and finally found a fishhook. He opened the seal with all his strength, held the hook tightly, and was caught.

But the backlash of the curse was also the source of his misery. His cultivation level collapsed, and he was knocked down by a passing patrol angel before he calmed down.

After saying this, Shen Yijun reached out and struck the sea.

A dark force rushed downwards, and a sea beast was hit in the spine and floated up with its belly turned white.

He caught the sea beast and devoured it again. Hundreds of tons of meat were eaten in, but his stomach didn't move at all. While eating the meat, he got some wine and drank it in big gulps. Although he was an old man, he still looked like he was eating. But extremely chic.

This is a warrior who really relies on food. Everything they eat will be converted into their own martial arts energy. Not to mention flesh and blood, they can even eat magic. As long as it is the energy they need, they can easily digest it.

I heard that many unscrupulous warriors... would eat other practitioners, jokingly calling it cannibalism, directly devouring the other person's cultivation level and using it for their own use.

However, although this kind of behavior improves quickly, the requirements for the warrior's heart are correspondingly high. After all, cultivation requires the support of the Taoist heart. If the Taoist heart is unstable, the cultivation will only self-destruct.

Li Qi looked at Shen Yijun and fell into deep thought.

This old man obviously has a background in the Shinto heaven, and may be the descendant of a certain heavenly god.

Um……

"Old man, you are out of trouble now, is there any way out?" Li Qi asked.

Shen Yijun took a sip of wine, swallowed it down, and replied casually: "There must be no room for me in the world. I have been hanging out in the East China Sea before, and my roots are in the East China Sea. Now that the real dragon is thinking about it, I will definitely not be able to survive. I plan to try my luck outside the territory.”

"That's a coincidence, old man, I still have some properties outside the territory -" Li Qi said with a smile.

"What? You want me to work for you? Can you afford the wages?" Shen Yijun put down his food and joked.

"I definitely can't afford the wages. I might have to ask you to bring your own dry food and do voluntary labor. But, if you help me, the real dragon might just turn a blind eye." Li Qixiao road.

"Do you have a great background?" Shen Yijun curled his lips.

Li Qi didn't say much, but turned his hand outward, and a talisman appeared in his palm, slightly curved, with some small characters engraved on it, telling Li Qi's identity and mission.

Shen Yijun's expression changed, he looked at the talisman carefully, and even reached out to touch it, but in the end he took it back and did not dare to touch it.

He recognized it. This was the Witch God Mountain Talisman. If it was true, the amount of information in it would be too great.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to obtain unless you are an orthodox person.

"Real product?" He looked at Li Qi seriously and asked.

"Could it be fake?" Li Qi said.

Shen Yijun nodded: "Well, it's a good thing to go outside the territory to avoid the limelight. If I come back in a hundred thousand years, the younger generation of true dragons won't be able to remember me anymore."

After saying that, he sighed again: "Brother saved me from trouble, saved my life, and now you are trying to hide me from the limelight. I don't have anything to offer you now, so I really can't repay you for the time being. I can only say that I will do my best for you outside the territory. I have defeated a few more world groups, and I am still somewhat confident in terms of killing power.”

Li Qi waved his hand: "Why do you need to say this, old man? No need. My property outside the territory is not an organization that fights and kills. Let me go, it is actually just to relax. If there is any trouble, just pay attention to it. Peace is the priority. , don’t engage in robbery.”

Shenyi Jun nodded slightly: "That's right. I know from my personality that I am not a person who likes killing. Then I will take care of you for a while and help you take care of your business. I will only be a thug and not intervene in the operation."

Then, he continued: "By the way, look at this talisman, the place I am responsible for is the heart, right?"

"It's near Xinsu, what's wrong?" Li Qi was curious.

"Isn't it a coincidence? The sixteen world groups near Xinsu are all influenced by the natural divine fire. There is an extraterrestrial wonder here called the Great Fire. Have you heard of it?" Shen Yijun asked.

Of course Li Qi had heard of the fire. This was an important area on the star map.

After dusk in autumn, the fire moving down to the west is called "Flowing Fire". The "fire" in the so-called "July Flowing Fire" refers to the fire. It is said that this place is the core foundation of an ancient star official. It is also a wonder that can be named outside the territory.

The fire is said to be the heart of Canglong.

The Canglong, one of the four phases, has the center of the heart, and the star of the heart is the fire. When the ancient star officials set up the star map of the sky, they placed the fire here, which shows its importance.

"I have a piece of magic here that I gained from an unexpected encounter in the past. However, I am a warrior after all and am not very familiar with these things. I just remembered that I couldn't use it."

"This method is said to be spread from the fire. It can capture a trace of the true meaning of the fire. I have not tried the specific effect, and a rough guy like me can't learn it. Anyway, brother, you are about to go to the heart, so why not try it? Try it, if there is a chance encounter, it can be regarded as my heart." Shen Yijun said.

This actually made Li Qi a little excited.

If it can really be related to the fire, then it can be related to the star officials, one of the top sects of Shinto.

Similar to the Hundred Schools of Humanity, the Three Lineages of Witchcraft and Taoism, and the Three Islands of Taoism, Shinto also has its own internal divisions of Taoism.

There are a few who occupy the main positions. The first is of course the well-deserved Ziwei Heavenly Court. The ancient innate gods headed by the Emperor of Heaven are the innate gods when the world was born.

The second one is the ancient star officials, which are also known as the four phases, the five buckets, the nine rays, the twelve yuan chen, and the twenty-eight constellations.

But no matter which one they are, they all have a good relationship with the witchcraft. After all, even the four phases are actually allies of the witchcraft.

But it is different for Humanity. Humanity has a very good relationship with the Star Officials and often relies on their power.

But the human realm and Heavenly Court are really like fire and water. In the past, Ziwei Heavenly Court once wanted to chop off the Human Emperor and devour all of Humanity. Humanity was not inferior either, having done things like "shooting into the sky" and "killing gods".

The Human Emperor once made puppets and called them gods. Betting with it makes people behave. If the gods are not victorious, they will kill and humiliate them. It is a leather bag that holds blood. When it is shot, it is called "Shoot to the sky".

Therefore, for Li Qi, if the advance arrangement of Xinsu can gain a little advantage on the star official's foundation of fire, and even affect the star official's position in the human-witch war, it will be huge. The harvest!

Therefore, Li Qi naturally could not refuse, but directly handed it over: "Thank you, brother, then I will be disrespectful."
