Myriad Paths

When Li Qi was talking to himself and couldn't help but sigh, Shen Shuibi choked him back with just one sentence.

"Ah? Is there still a threshold for ninth grade?"

The stupid rabbit tilted his head and asked in surprise.

Li Qi was so choked that he couldn't speak, and was speechless for a moment.

Forget it, don't worry about it, just because someone is a high-ranking person with a good personality, it doesn't mean that they don't have the ability.

"Miss Shen, thank you very much this time. However, I have one more thing I want to ask you." Li Qi raised his hand and bowed sincerely to Shen Shuibi.

I really have to thank this person. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for me to reach the ninth level.

Only by standing at the top, with a commanding position, could he easily help Li Qi think of a way to use thirty strands of water vapor to break through to the ninth level.

If it weren't for Shen Shuibi, other fifth-grade masters might be able to do it, but why should they help you for free?

If he wants to spend money or use rewards to get the other party to take action, what does Li Qi have that is so valuable that it is worth the other party spending their brains to think about this problem that has no profit for him?

Definitely not.

Therefore, Li Qi was full of gratitude for Shen Shuibi's help, and he was determined to help her find Empress Luofu.

If you appreciate a favor, you should repay it.

The best way to repay Shen Shuibi is to help her find Empress Luofu.

"Ah? What else is there?" Shen Shuibi was not impatient at all. She immediately came over and continued to listen to Li Qi's doubts.

After all, this kind of thing has happened many times. Whether Li Qi is reading the "Blessings" book, encountering any problems in practice, or chatting in the wild, he always asks Shen Shuibi to improve himself. With her experience and knowledge level, Shen Shuibi was also used to Li Qi's questions.

"That's what happened today, about the cursed piece of gold——"

Li Qi began to talk about all the things he encountered today.

Including things about the old woman of the Wang family, their agreement, and a series of things they encountered after handling the gold.

After finishing these narrations, Li Qi asked: "Miss Shen, this matter makes sense logically, but does it make sense from a Taoist perspective? I heard that most practitioners have some weird methods that cannot be judged by common sense."

After hearing these words, Shen Shuibi tilted her head.

"It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it, but this is what Lao Ma's life experience turned out to be. Why didn't he tell me?" Shen Shuibi didn't care about the truth of the matter, but instead cared about Lao Ma.

"The country is ruined, the family is destroyed, and the old master is dead. It's better not to bring up such things. It will make Lao Ma sad in vain. He has not yet transformed. Even if he is enlightened, his wisdom is limited, so don't bring it up." Li Qi said .

"Yeah!" Shen Shuibi nodded without thinking much.

In fact, she never thought much about it. She basically believed whatever Li Qi said.

And Li Qi did think so.

The matter has come to this, there is no need to uncover the scars and make Lao Ma feel guilty.

Without transformation, even if he has a spirit, he doesn't have much wisdom. He is just like a child. Why should he be required to tell the sad things?

Just solve it yourself.

Now that he had Shen Shuibi's approval, Li Qi continued to ask how to deal with the enemy.

How to deal with that ghost, or to communicate with him?

But Shen Shuibi heard this question and asked with some doubts: "You have the peach charm of Togami on your body, the aura of Shen Tu and Yu Lei, and the willow branch given by Da Zhu on your waist, you still wish people "When a ghost meets you, he should be afraid of you. What are you worried about?"

Okay, that makes sense.

Now that he got confirmation, Li Qi felt relieved.

Then, he continued to practice.

Practice the exercises first, then read.

If you keep working hard every day, you will eventually be rewarded.

——————————

The next day, Lao Ma and Shen Shuibi were still waiting in the woods, while Li Qi wrapped a long knife in cloth and pretended to be a walking stick and went into the city.

Walk all the way to the palace.

But he did not go in. Instead, he found a small vendor who set up a stall nearby. He first bought a women's hairpin, which was made of copper wire. It was very beautiful and not expensive. It was made by country craftsmen. As long as Fifty dollars.

After buying the hairpin, Li Qi put it away and used it to talk to the hawker: "Brother, I see this house with stone lions standing all over the door. Look at this house that is so rich. Why is the door so deserted? There is not even a servant sweeping the house." No."

"Ah? Are you talking about the Wang family? Hey, I don't know what's going on with this family. The business was booming before, but it seems that since last year, it has been having bad luck every day." The hawker seemed to be a talker, and he started to get excited when he talked about gossip. .

"Just a few years ago, the Wang family had a batch of goods that they wanted to send to the city. They found the most reliable escort agency, but the escort was robbed on the way! The escort agency was trustworthy. They paid the money according to the contract and bought all the goods. One batch was compensated, and an additional ten gold was paid, but it seemed that time was of the essence and that batch of goods failed to arrive as promised. The boss of Zhoucheng demanded fifty gold as liquidated damages, and the Wang family member was yelling outside the escort agency! For an hour, there was a lot of noise.”

"There is also the matter of servants. His servants seem to have bad luck and fall every day. The worst one even broke his leg after being run over by a carriage. It took Wang Jia just to treat the injuries of these servants. 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, but later I had to send them all away.”

"Let me tell you... this family is so rich and unkind that God can't stand it!" the vendor said proudly, as if he was the one who did it.

"For the sake of being rich and being unkind, what bad things did his family do? How did they receive this divine punishment?" Li Qi asked again with a curious look.

"Uh...well...it doesn't seem to be the case. The old lady of the Wang family has always been kind, and Yuan Wang is also an upright person. Their family also gives out porridge every year, but how many rich people are good? What a good person, how did he become rich? ?" the vendor said simply.

Li Qi nodded, didn't talk much, continued to talk a few words, then took the hairpin and left.

I walked around a street and asked a few neighbors and vendors.

The rhetoric I got was pretty much the same.

Li Qi thought thoughtfully and walked around again. This time, he came to the gate of Wang's house and knocked on the door.

Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang had been waiting behind the door for a long time. As soon as they knocked on the door, the door opened immediately.

"Senior brother, have you had breakfast? I have prepared some snacks. After eating, how about going to the tomb?" Mrs. Wang said hello.

"That's fine." Li Qi agreed and walked into the Wang family gate.

Sure enough, food has been prepared. It is said to be snacks, but it is actually very rich. There are meat porridge, egg soup, pickles, and a plate of fried fish. It is quite good as a breakfast.

Li Qi was not polite and ate as soon as it was put on the table.

"Have you eaten yet?" Li Qi asked.

"After eating, senior brother, just eat." Mrs. Wang said.

It was already approaching noon, and the food was a little cold. Li Qi didn't doubt him and started to make breakfast.
