Myriad Paths

Chapter 141 Xiao and Dan

There were three or four people in the box, a young nobleman in the lead, a hunchbacked old man, a middle-aged man with red beard and red hair, and a maidservant of the nobleman.

The hunchbacked old man heard the call of the nobleman, stood up from the chair, closed his eyes and sensed it, and then said: "Young master, it is indeed the evil spirit I raised. It did not return when I cursed it before. It seems that it was detained by someone."

The nobleman frowned: "Who is meddling in other people's business? You want to stop me from cursing a tiger demon? Do you have to make things difficult for me? You can tell who stopped me, let him come to apologize, and I will forgive him once."

"Young master, please continue to watch the show, I will deal with it now." The old man called Si Lao immediately stood up, put out chicken bones and tortoise shells on the spot, and began to divination.

But he was seen pushing yarrow and stepping on tortoises, digging with tortoises, and swiping yarrow and divination.

At first, he burned the chicken bones, but saw that the chicken bones cracked, the cracks opened wide, and they broke into two pieces.

Si Lao was shocked, and immediately changed to 49 thin bamboos, which were like the 49 heavenly rules, and divined again, but saw that the thin bamboos withered directly, turned yellow, and then turned into ash.

He was stunned, his eyes were solemn, but he did not stop.

He took another tile, hit it to split it, and looked at its texture, but saw that the inside of the tile was as smooth as a mirror, without any trace of knocking, as if it had been cut open.

He began to panic, and hurriedly took out the tortoise shell, bit his tongue, and spit out a mouthful of blood. With a serious face, he held the tortoise south and looked at it, and burned the tortoise shell with the energy of the fierce fire, but the tortoise shell seemed to be natural and did not change in the fierce fire.

He immediately held the tortoise shell and came to the other person in the room, holding the tortoise shell with both hands, and said solemnly: "Yan Jun, please help me."

The man called Yan Jun was a little stunned, but he also cooperated immediately.

However, the man made hand gestures and said, "I will burn this tortoise shell with fireworks from the human world, and use the luck of humanity to help you predict the result."

Then, he saw a ball of fire in his hand, fireworks lit up, and the entire Qingwu City was in the fire, and even the officers and soldiers, the dance bands, the merchants, and the street vendors could be clearly seen.

The entire Qingwu City was captured as a scene in the fire. Those who watched the fire were like seeing the entire Qingwu City. The fire entered the tortoise shell, but saw the light, shadow, smoke, and fire flickering and changing. I don't know whether it is the fire in Qingwu City or Qingwu City in the fire.

However, Yan Jun was surprised to find that the tortoise shell was still motionless.

"I'll add another code, and burn it with the spirit beast I raise!" Yan Jun said, and then he slapped the cage on his waist, and saw a few pigeons flying out of it.

The pigeons were flying, and the flames burned their bodies. There was a flame on the tip of each pigeon's wing, like a burning torch.

These pigeons spewed sparks and threw them into the fireworks, and the fire became more and more intense.

But the tortoise shell still remained motionless in the fire, as bright and clean as new.

"Human fire and animal fire are both insufficient, I will use earth fire again!" He said angrily, and then used all his strength to pull it from the void.

But a small crack appeared in the void, and the Yin Qi overflowed!

Yan Jun's face was flushed, and he was sweating like rain. He had used all his strength, but the small crack showed a hellish scenery!

Black clouds rose, smoke and dust rolled, and the sky rained continuously, but it was not water, but many fiery hail, with flames burning on it, fierce and hot.

There were also hell beings, countless ghosts, tied to death on the spot, unable to move, welcoming the hail, and being hit by the hail almost every minute and every second, burning the skin, burning the flesh, burning the tendons, burning the bones, and burning the marrow. The pain was incomparable, and the smoke and flames were huge, penetrating the body, burning the flesh and blood.

The hell beings suffered extreme pain in the fire and could not die.

Yan Jun ignored all this. He grabbed a hail of fire that had just landed from the small crack with his hand, and then the small crack was immediately closed, and the Yin Qi stopped leaking.

But he saw that his hand was burning immediately, and even his face was twisted and painful. The bones and flesh in the palm of his hand were scorched and almost burned through.

He grabbed this hellfire hail and quickly threw it into the tortoise shell.

The fireworks of the world, the heart fire of the spirit beast, and the fire of hell, the three combined to burn the tortoise shell together.

The tortoise shell could not withstand such high temperature and finally began to shake.

Seeing this, Yan Jun and Si Lao both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the tortoise shell shook again and again, cracked from the middle, and then exploded directly, blowing into several pieces!

It was still the maid who reacted very quickly. She raised her hand and waved it, and saw a roll of silk flying out, with brocades and silks flying out, going in and out, forming a circle, locking the explosion in it.

The explosion was not very powerful, but the flame of Yan Jun contained in it was quite powerful, which burned the silk roll and made Yan Jun and Si Lao covered in dust.

As for the fruits, dishes, soups, tablecloths, cushions, wine pots, cups and chopsticks in the box, they were all overturned by the aftermath of the explosion, and the whole box was in a mess.

But Si Lao didn't care that his face was covered with ash. He jumped up in shock, bowed quickly, and said to the nobleman: "Young Master! This person is either of a very high rank and I can't provoke him, or he has a treasure to protect his body and can't be used for divination!"

The nobleman frowned. He also watched the whole process and naturally knew what was going on.

Yan Jun and Si Lao were both eighth-grade strongmen, especially Si Lao. Although he had no chance to worship in Wushen Mountain, he was fortunate to have obtained some orthodox methods of witchcraft. Whether it was divination or curse, he had the style of an orthodox fortune teller, more than ten times stronger than ordinary witches, and was his most trusted subordinate.

"The rank is very high, which is unlikely. If that's the case, then your tortoise shell didn't explode, but you were directly spied on by the other party. But don't worry, if he really saw me, he would naturally stop. At least in Green Mountain Country, even if the king came, for my father's sake, he would only punish me once or twice, and it wouldn't be too much." The noble son knocked on the table and said so.

The Lord of Green Mountain, a fifth-rank powerful man, is already the strongest in this area. As for higher...

He didn't even think about it, it's impossible.

Above the fifth rank, he is already the lord of a country. His great power is amazing. He can shatter a small world with a wave of his hand. The aftermath of the battle can easily corrupt the area within a radius of thousands of miles. Picking stars and taking the moon is not a problem. As for the fourth rank, even he has never seen it.

What a powerful force that is, it has reached an unimaginable level, and that kind of existence will not bother with him.

"So, I think there must be a treasure protecting its cause and effect and lifeline, which caused your curse to fail, and divination could not predict it... Tsk tsk, such a treasure should be placed in the right person, which is just right for me, how could it fall into the hands of a tiger demon?" He stood up, not even watching the ever-victorious death battle that he liked in the past.

"Let's go down, no need for divination, just follow the ghost energy to see what's going on with the tiger demon, and take the dusty treasure by the way, which can also be regarded as letting it shine again, and not have to be wronged in the hands of the demon." The nobleman stood up and walked out of the box.

Yan Jun, Si Lao, and the maid followed and went downstairs.

————————

As for Li Qi, he didn't feel anything at the moment.

There was no way, he was an orthodox ninth-grade witch, extraordinary and otherworldly, with a small world in his body. Now he can go without food and drink for a year without any side effects, and breathing is not so necessary. He can hold his breath for four or five days and move normally, but he can't speak.

After all, if you don't breathe, there will be no airflow to vibrate the vocal cords, so there is no way to talk.

When the witch practice reaches a high level, the small world in the human body can even produce living things, and the body is a world of its own, free and eternal, without relying on any external objects.

To divine Li Qi is actually to divine a small world. Although it is indeed very small now, its rank is still much higher than that of a single life.

In addition, he is still an outsider, so divination is extremely difficult.

However, Li Qi has also learned some corresponding knowledge recently, and knows that not all outsiders are like him, and even the big divination is difficult to catch the trace.

To be precise, the farther away from the world, the more difficult it is to divine, because this will involve the heavenly way of the corresponding world, and divination does not have a super-distance effect.

For example, the oil world, the ninth-grade diviner can easily calculate and divine.

It can make it difficult for the big divination to calculate... Li Qi doesn't know how far away the earth is anyway.

However, these are all wild thoughts. Li Qi's main focus now is still on selecting the wind-traveling talisman.

Because... there are too many.

Yes, too many.

The learning threshold of the Wind-Running Talisman is low, and it is almost an entry-level product for talisman masters. Moreover, the cost is almost zero. It only requires ordinary talisman paper and ink, as well as the talisman master's own Qi. Basically, the money sold is the craftsmanship.

Therefore, almost every household in the store here sells Wind-Running Talismans, and the various effects are different depending on the style of the maker.

This is not written in the book. It is the first time that Li Qi knows that Wind-Running Talismans have different characteristics.

There are eight winds in the sky, and the nature of the eight winds is different. Therefore, the wind-running talismans will have different special effects depending on the types that the maker is familiar with.

Some are simply faster, some are more durable, some can add the ability to fly for a short time, and some even have two or three different special effects.

If a talisman master is proficient in all eight winds, he can even make a Wind-Running Talisman with eight different characteristics at the same time.

Of course, the price will definitely soar.

This is also the first time Li Qi has come to this kind of market. Since it is not written in the book, he definitely does not know, so he is also learning slowly.

Shen Shuibi, on the other hand, although she is not a talisman master, has a good eye and can always point out some flaws, which can help Li Qi choose.

Piaoxu often reminds people of the reputation of a certain store, which makes the selection process very smooth.

Soon, Li Qi picked three according to his needs, all of which were extremely accelerated, and he also used the shortcomings pointed out by Shen Shuibi to cut the price by nearly one-third, and bought them at the price of two golds each.

At this point, Li Qi only had one gold and a little change left.

But fortunately, it didn't overspend.

However, he also knew the cost of the wind talisman. The two golds for one were basically pure profit except for labor. The wind talisman was also very easy to damage and was considered a consumable. It would be gone if it was slightly bumped during battle or on the road. It was basically just a large quantity. A skilled talisman master could write 10 to 20 pieces a day.

But it was a good thing for him.

How good it is to be cheap.

But...

"Two golds is also cheap..." Li Qi said with emotion.

Just a year ago, he was still struggling for a few copper coins, but now he still thinks that 'two gold items are really cheap, and they are really good value for money'.

Two gold, but 20,000 coins.

Piaoxu glanced at Li Qi, a little puzzled. It was already surprising that such a master would bargain, and now he was sighing about what this meant?

Shen Shuibi didn't react at all. She returned to her usual dazed look and immersed herself in her own world.

It is probably because of this character that she has not left Luofu Mountain for thousands of years, so that she was deceived by Li Qi from the beginning...

"Well... I bought the Wind Travel Talisman. As for the skills, I am afraid that I don't have enough money. I have to find a way to make money. I don't have much supplies in my pocket. How about going to Green Mountain?" Li Qi was thinking about the next itinerary in his mind.

Things like skills must be ridiculously expensive, and gold probably can't buy them.

"Well, the things have been bought. Let's go back, so as not to delay your business. We have been out for almost an hour and a half, and it's just right to go back for dinner." Li Qi bought things and suggested so.

"Just as you say." Piaoxu also seemed much more natural, bowed, and then walked forward.

Shen Shuibi naturally had no objection. She had already activated the follow mode anyway, so she just followed and didn't need to care about anything else.

However, at this moment.

Shen Shuibi, who had been following absent-mindedly, suddenly moved, stepped forward and grabbed Piaoxu, scaring the fox.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Piaoxu respected the lady who saved her, so she asked hurriedly, thinking that the other party had something to say to her.

However, after Shen Shuibi grabbed Piaoxu, Li Qi immediately took action.

The Five Mountains Qi in his body surged out, calm and steady, like the roots of the mountain piercing the ground, forming a thick shield of the Five Mountains.

However, with a flute sound, the calm Qi formed by the Five Mountains Qi was penetrated.

Li Qi frowned.

The flute is the Qi in the middle, all things are born in silence and seen in the invisible, solemn, is the invisible killing Qi, the sound of the whistling sound, the main solemn killing, as the saying goes 'whistling sad', 'trees bleak', is taken from this meaning.

The other party was ready to sneak attack from the beginning? And it was a fatal move?

Just like the sound can penetrate a solid shield, the Qi of the flute can easily penetrate the Qi of the Five Mountains in Li Qi's body, and normal defense is useless against it.

But it didn't bother Li Qi.

He swung his fist violently and hit his liver and gallbladder!

The spirit of the gallbladder is the shock, and the anger of people is shaken out, and the voice of virtue is excited.

The spirit of the liver is life, and it feels the spirit of peace, and its origin is at the beginning of vitality.

Just as the vitality brought by thunder can dispel the bleak spirit, Li Qi beat his liver and gallbladder, and shouted loudly, shaking out: "Haha!"

Others around hurriedly avoided, and the sound of the flute was also dispelled by Li Qi's shocking sound with the spirit of the liver and gallbladder, but Li Qi also coughed slightly.

He punched himself, it hurt a lot, probably a minor injury.

"Who is it?" Li Qi dispersed the guards of the Five Mountains and looked at the source of the flute.
