Chapter 146 Forced
As soon as this treasure came out, Li Qi could even feel that the entire Qingwu City was looking at it.
"One...two, three, four." Li Qi counted silently in his mind.
"ninety."
"Twenty-four, twenty-five." Li Qi opened his eyes and finished counting.
There were a total of twenty-five glances, and it was estimated that they should all be of the eighth grade, otherwise he would not have such a frightening feeling, so much so that his body and the world began to tremble.
This is not a good sign.
Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Please ask this old man to send the gift back. Your young master and I just have a small misunderstanding and we don't deserve such a precious apology."
These treasures look astonishing. If it were anyone else, they would have been blown away by them.
It's as if a distant uncle suddenly left you a legacy of 200 million for you to inherit. I'm afraid not many people can stay calm.
But Li Qidao had a clear mind and was not moved by external things, so he refused almost without thinking.
Money is not important to him, and besides, the long knife is not important to him either.
He doesn't know how to use a knife at all...
No matter how good the weapon is, what will happen if you don’t know how to use it?
Now he can only do boxing.
So, what does it mean that Jin Buhuan suddenly gave him so many things? Are you really afraid of yourself, so you come to apologize?
No need, Li Qi himself didn't believe this statement.
"This..." The ceremony officer looked embarrassed, bowed quickly, and said tremblingly: "Sir, please don't make it difficult for me. If I can't let you accept it, then I will definitely be punished by the young master."
"Punishment is your young master's business. I can't interfere, but I will try my best to plead for you in front of your young master." Li Qi replied seriously.
As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a handwritten letter.
He always carries paper and pen with him to record his thoughts and experiences. After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Daily practice is not a blind practice, but requires thinking.
Even a stupid game like martial arts requires understanding, and you have to integrate your own thinking when practicing, let alone the witchcraft he practiced.
This path is notoriously demanding on the brain, and the things to memorize are much more than ordinary people.
Fortunately, he has a plug-in, so he doesn't have to put too much effort into endorsement, but the time saved cannot be idle, and he still needs to deepen his understanding.
Cultivation itself is a process of learning and improvement. Mechanical dead training will definitely not achieve success.
After writing these things, he wrote down the page and handed it to the courtesy officer: "Old man, please accept it. If your young master punishes you, show this to him. In this way, he will not blame you." to your head."
The courtesy officer became even more panicked: "Mr. Li, you don't know something... Young Master, he——"
However, before the old official finished speaking, he suddenly trembled all over, and then a burst of flames rose up and engulfed him!
Li Qigang wanted to rescue him, but before he could mobilize the energy in his body, the old man was swallowed up by the flames, turned into fly ash, and scattered all over the ground.
Li Qi's expression suddenly darkened.
However, at this time, a middle-aged man with red beard and red hair fell from the sky.
Astonishingly, it was that ‘Mr. Yan’.
I saw that Lord Yan's left sleeve was empty. It was the hand that Shen Shuibi had forced to cut off.
He saluted with one hand and said calmly to Li Qi: "Mr. Li, you'd better accept it. The young master has an order. If Mr. Li refuses, it must be because of the lack of etiquette. For such a slave who offends a nobleman, I have to kill him in front of you to apologize, otherwise we don’t know how to control our servants.”
Li Qi looked at this eighth-grade being, and his anger rose in his heart.
Therefore, his tone also became stiff: "Jun Yan, there is nothing rude about him, but I really cannot accept this gift at will..."
Before Li Qi finished speaking, he saw another person standing up tremblingly next to him. She was a woman in her forties with gray hair. Her whole body was shaking like chaff. Her teeth were chattering, but she gritted her teeth and bowed to Li Qi. : "Sir, please accept the gift."
Li Qi took a deep breath, turned around and left.
Yan Jun waved his hand, and the woman wailed and was immediately swallowed up by the fire.
In the gift-giving team nearby, a young man immediately rushed out and called his mother in a mournful voice, wailing endlessly.
At this time, there were countless onlookers on the entire street.
Some people couldn't bear to cry and sighed softly.
Some people were angry but did not dare to curse, so they could only glare at Mr. Yan.
Some people looked at Li Qi with interest, wondering what he would choose next.
Some people left anxiously, as if they didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, or even look at it.
But more people are just watching here as spectators, without any unnecessary emotions, just watching the show.
After all, this kind of thing is rare.
In Piaoxu's inn, Qi Ya was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. The hair all over his body stood up. He huddled in Piaoxu's arms, shivering.
Piaoxu also looked worried, looking at Li Qi with anxiety in her heart.
Even he could tell that the person coming was evil.
Rabbit was still carving his own runes and spells, without reacting to anything outside. He was still holding a compass and a pen and paper, writing and calculating, and calculating the numbers of yin and yang. After all, things like formations still had to strictly rely on magic. It can only be established by numbers.
She didn't seem to feel anything at all, and she didn't react at all, just like always.
Outside, Li Qi had a gloomy expression, but he said nothing. He walked straight back into the inn, slammed the door, and closed it with a snap.
Yan Jun watched from outside, shook his head, and then signaled with his eyes, next one.
Another young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, hurriedly walked out of the queue, kowtowed to the inn, and begged Li Qi and Shen Shuibi to accept the gift.
She was so scared that she cried so hard that her forehead was broken and blood flowed all over her face.
Li Qi had no reaction, his face was indifferent, as if he didn't hear it.
Without his words, no one dared to go out to open the door. The inn's workers and Piaoxu looked at each other and stood stiffly in place.
The girl prayed for half a minute, but Li Qi ignored her. Yan Jun waved his hand again and burned her to death.
Then, it was the next one.
The next one was a young man, who was killed after his pleading.
Next was a middle-aged man in his forties. His two young children were desperately dragging him along. He was also wiping tears and hesitating.
Because he hesitated, his two children were killed by Yan Jun, who said they were in the way.
The man was stunned, and then roared to fight with Yan Jun.
However, he had not yet entered the rank, so how could he fight against the eighth rank? He turned into ashes just by being looked at.
The eighth rank was enough to become the master of a world in the oil industry, commanding hundreds of millions of people, and a powerful person who was high above.
After killing four or five people in succession, Yan Jun seemed to be tired of killing and looked at the inn: "Mr. Li claims to be kind and benevolent, and he even saved a tiger demon that took over the body of a fox? Why are you letting them die now?"
Li Qi still had that gloomy face, but when he spoke, he deliberately made a relaxed and indifferent tone: "I didn't save people because of kindness, but just did it by chance. But the people who died just now were all servants of Master Jin's family, weren't they? You have your own reasons for killing your own people, and I can't say too much. After all, I am just an outsider, how can I interfere with Master Jin's execution of family rules?"
Li Qi said so, and then sat down.
He is very clear about two things now.
First, if you don't want to be threatened, you can't be soft-hearted.
Second, if you want more people to survive, it's best not to care.
When human life becomes your weakness, then your opponent will only threaten you with more human lives, and in the end you will either be involved or more people will die.
Of course, Li Qi knows what to do.
But now there are still a few problems.
First of all, the number one problem is face.
To be precise, it is not face, but the "reason" of the face.
As I have said before, only when the reason is right can the spirit be strong.
To establish things and establish righteousness, everything must be determined by reason.
The transformation of the qi of heaven and earth is the reason of Tao.
The legal system is the reason of things.
The appropriateness of etiquette is the reason of righteousness.
The key to human feelings is the reason of feelings.
The quality is in accordance with reason, and it is clear when it is in accordance, so it can become "reason".
Li Qi holds himself in righteousness, and he needs to pay more attention to the word "reason". The reason of righteousness is to comply with the rules of the public. This is the foundation of faith and loyalty, and the foundation of his witchcraft. The other party's "apology" is "the appropriateness of etiquette".
Li Qi already knows what the other party is going to do.
If he accepts such an apology, then in terms of "reason", it means that he has forgiven the other party, and there will be no such thing as "wrong in reason" when the other party does anything afterwards.
This is not some metaphysics, but a real thing. The guilty represents the human heart, and the human heart is also a kind of power, which is more likely to affect Li Qi's path.
Obviously, Jin Buhuan has seen that Li Qi is a witch, so he deliberately uses this method to disgust people, making Li Qi guilty, and even affecting his reputation with some gods.
Li Qi can even hear Jin Buhuan's ridicule of him through this play.
"Save, you save the people I want to kill in the market, aren't you kind? I want to see how many you can save!" Jin Buhuan used this play to mock himself.
Moreover, Li Qi has sufficient reason to suspect that the gift is tampered with. After he accepts it, he is afraid that there will be other tricks, which will only bring more trouble.
He doesn't want to gamble whether his vision can see through the flaws of the gift, although Li Qi is very confident in his knowledge, and he has Shen Shuibi to help him identify the goods.
But he is no longer the fledgling who just went out. He has learned the truth of "never underestimate the heroes in the world", so he will not take it lightly.
In addition to the above problem, there is another secondary problem.
That is, if he really lets the other party kill like this, and kills to a certain extent, he will probably be in the wrong.
He can even feel that there is resentment hanging on him.
It is the resentment of the dead, resentment for why he did not agree.
'As long as you agree, there will not be so many deaths, why don't you agree? '
'We all died because of you. '
'You are a heartless person, why do you just watch us die and remain indifferent? '
He seemed to be able to hear the voice of ghosts, although there was actually no.
Because Yan Jun's flames will burn even the soul together, there will be no ghosts, and these voices are just the resentment he feels.
Li Qi stood up and shook his shoulders.
These resentments were also shaken off and dissipated.
He is already at the ninth rank, extraordinary and above the mundane world, and these resentments cannot affect him at all.
Ordinary people are like this all the time, they usually blame those who don't stand up for them instead of blaming the real perpetrator.
Just like when women and children are sold, people will feel sad, but the direction is usually to blame the authorities for not solving the problem earlier, rather than pointing the finger at the evildoers.
So he doesn't blame this kind of thing for happening.
However, Jin Buhuan also thought a little wrong.
This drama will not make Li Qi feel wronged, and the gods will have objections to Li Qi because of this kind of thing. To be honest, Li Qi despises the other god and doesn't bother to talk to him at all.
Everything that happens now has only one impact.
That was to ask Li Qi to add one to his Qingwu City goal: "To overthrow Jin Buhuan."
What he originally wanted was for Jin Buhuan to let Piaoxu go, and then leave quickly, not wanting to cause trouble.
But now I'm afraid I can't just leave like this.
"Miss Shen, how is the formation arrangement going?" Li Qi turned his head and looked at Shen Shuibi who was carving the spell.
"Three hours, give me three more hours!" Rabbit raised his hand, and then continued busy knocking, writing and drawing in various places, running around the whole room.
Li Qize nodded, then looked at Piaoxu: "Miss Piaoxu, I'm afraid there will be some fighting here, which may damage your inn. Let me tell you in advance that I will compensate you according to the price afterwards. I'm afraid now I need to ask you to leave for a while to avoid harming your life.”
But Piaoxu resolutely refused. She said: "Sir, he offended Jin Buhuan just to save my life. How could I ask him to compensate me? Please take back these words. Although the little girl has no big problem, My abilities are not as great as my master’s, but I still have some ambition.”
Then, she held out a small flying knife: "The little girl is not good at martial arts, but she still has some adventures. This is the magic weapon I transformed from a ray of gold energy I got in the Green Mountain when I was transforming into a demon. It is the tiger demon." Left after death, it can move according to the heart, and can travel two miles in a moment. It has reached the ultimate level among the ninth ranks. If it is destroyed by a one-time explosion, the power can be increased tenfold. My cultivation level is shallow and my strength is low, so I can't When I go into battle, I would like to offer this to you, sir, to fight against the enemy.”
Li Qi looked at the flying knife. The golden light flashed and the evil spirit was overflowing. It was indeed the top grade among the ninth grade, and the quality was as good as his own Tang knife.
It's just that this knife always looks familiar...
I always feel like I've seen something similar somewhere.
But he didn't think too much here, but said: "Then I will accept it, this may come in handy."
Li Qi pointed to the back door: "You should hide in the backyard. Miss Shen's formation in the backyard should have been completed, and the aftermath will not affect you."
