Chapter 165 Encounter

Shen Shuibi took a nap on the roadside.

But it wasn't like she was really dozing off, she just didn't tell Li Qi what she was doing.

In fact, her spirit is traveling far away to observe the situation at the border.

That's right, Yin Shen, she has returned to the eighth level.

After that night, she and Li Qi talked all night and talked about many things, which made her feel much better.

Then the next day...she took apart the piece of moon soul that carried memories and ate it.

The memories have been spoken, and they are no longer unique to her. Therefore, the thing that carries the memories is no longer unique. So what is the point of keeping this moon spirit?

Shen Shuibi knew the difference very clearly, so she simply ate the Yue Soul fragments, and used the rich lunar energy in them to make up for some of the cracks in her body, paving the way for her to return to the eighth level.

Shen Shuibi also knew that this was Li Qi's intention. The moon soul itself could help her repair her body, but only for now. Later, such useless materials would be useless.

If you don't use it now, Li Qi's thoughts will be wasted. Shen Shuibi doesn't want this.

I don’t know where he knew it from, but he seemed to have seen through this, so he found this piece of moon soul.

In short, after that day, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer, because in Shen Shuibi's view, Li Qi was the only person besides Yue Po who inherited his memories in Luofu Mountain.

After recovering to the eighth level, nothing special happened along the way. Li Qi's progress was very rapid. He seemed to be naturally good at mediating among the crowd.

However, we are about to arrive at the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Nest. It is said that there is a treasure in Minghu Lake there that can help Li Qi condense his soul.

Dao sects also have this thing called Yuan Shen, but it is different from the Yuan Shen of Wu Dao.

Yuan originally means "human head". The word Yuan evolved from the shape of the head, meaning "head", "first" and "beginning".

Because of this, Taoism has the term "Yuanshi", which means the first cause of the creation of the world and the promoter of all the 'effects' of all things.

Therefore, there is "the origin, the beginning of Qi", "the Qian Yuan, the beginning and prosperity", "the one who is the origin, regards the great beginning and wants to correct the origin." ’ these statements.

And when this word is used in practice, it generally refers to the first, particularly important part.

Therefore, the "Yuan Shen" of Taoism is the beginning of one's own cultivation and the beginning of the divine treasure among the three treasures of Jing Qi Shen. Correspondingly, there is Yuan Qi, and Yuan Jing is called the Three Yuan.

When these three elements come together, there is "the origin of Taoism, from the beginning, from the beginning, from the traces, from the wonderful one, from the wonderful one, divided into three elements, and from the three elements into three qi, and from The ability of "three qi to transform and give birth to three talents, and when the three talents are nourished, all things are prepared" is the root of the Taoist body's small world, and can be extended to all things in the world.

Corresponding to the reflection of the small world of the human body and the large world of the outside world, what is reflected is the three elements, which are the three lights of the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the three essentials of water, fire and earth on the earth, and the three things of energy, energy and spirit in humans.

This view and way of practice have nothing to do with the basics of witchcraft. If someone doesn't understand the principles, just gets a few books and starts practicing, and then mixes them together, he will definitely go wrong in his practice and get himself killed.

For example, the ghost god Li Weng I met in the Dalu Kingdom was a dignified eighth-grade man who died at the age of fifty or sixty.

The soul of witchcraft is more pure, which refers to the "god in the head".

The ancient meaning of Yuan is the head, and the meaning of Yuan Shen is naturally the god of the head. Its function is to control the brain, and also serves as the central dispatcher of all the gods in the body. It is the leader of the gods in the body, just like the brain controls the rest of the body. Parts are the same.

The first god in the body represents different directions of emphasis in the eighth stage.

If you give priority to condensing the sun, moon and gods, your eyes will be bright, you will have synesthesia, your sixth sense will be very effective, and you will occasionally be able to suddenly perceive good or bad luck.

People usually condense this statue first.

If you are the first to condense the God of the Five Mountains, your body will be more solid, your physical endurance will be greatly increased, your small world will become tougher, and you will also have many earthly magical powers, such as escaping from the earth.

This was Li Qi's original choice. After all, he was from the Earth branch, and condensing this one would make it easier to travel.

By choosing the first one to condense the Four Water Gods, the small world of the human body can accommodate more originally incompatible qi. The Sidu Master can connect the qi of the four directions, which can strengthen the power of the witch in magic and provide some manipulation. Magical powers over water.

If you choose Yuanshen, your ears and eyes will be clear, your mind will be clear, your body will operate more smoothly and harmoniously, you will be able to coordinate the power of all the gods in your body, your control over your body will be greatly improved, and your reaction speed will also increase.

Li Qi took the lead in condensing the soul. He probably wanted to perfectly control the two golden energies at the ninth level. However, it is more difficult to condense the soul. If he had condensed the other gods in his body first, he would have successfully condensed them in the past six months. One statue.

The first statue only represents emphasis, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, it just depends on Wu Jin's own preference.

Li Qi took the lead in condensing his soul, probably because he wanted to perfectly control those two golden energies.

Naturally, Shen Shuibi also fully supported him, so he followed him all the way. After running for half a year, he was finally about to enter the sphere of influence of the Sky-Devouring Demon Nest.

Crossing the border of Bailin Kingdom, we arrived at the Heaven-Devouring Demon's Nest.

Shen Shuibi's Yin Shen spanned hundreds of miles and was observing the situation near the border.

However, she suddenly felt someone shaking her body.

"Hmm? Li Qi is back?" Shen Shuibi noticed this, and her Yin Spirit no longer resisted the pull of her body.

A hundred miles away, it was over in a flash.

In just a moment, her Yin Spirit returned to her body.

"I'm back~." Shen Shuibi opened her eyes, looked at Li Qi who had returned, and said with a smile: "Is everything done? Then shall we set off?"

Li Qi nodded: "It's all done, let's go to the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Nest."

The two spoke briefly, and then Li Qi rode on the old horse, Shen Shuibi sat on the back seat, and set off towards the border.

Talking about some irrelevant things along the way, the old horse soon arrived at the border.

After all, the old horse at this time is already considered a 'demon'. Although it has not yet entered the grade, the dragon blood in its body has been stimulated, and the speed has skyrocketed two or three times. Now it can travel two thousand miles a day, and travel four thousand miles day and night, which is very fast.

No wonder Master Zhu said that it would not take ten years at all.

As long as Li Qi is making progress, these three million miles don't seem to be that far away...

"By the way, Li Qi, when I was traveling with my Yin spirit before, I saw that the Devouring Heaven Demon Nest seemed very quiet. There was nothing special about it. It was very quiet."

"Quiet?" Li Qi was stunned.

How could it be quiet?

"It's quiet at the border battle site? Isn't there a war?" Li Qi asked.

"No, it seems that there is not even a garrison. The city is empty." Shen Shuibi replied.

As soon as these words came out, Li Qi sweated.

Wow, it won't fall, right? What the hell, I just arrived and found that the border town is an empty city?

"Well... I saw people evacuating on the road. They should be soldiers, all sergeants, but they don't seem to be attacked. They should be evacuating peacefully. Go and ask?" Shen Shuibi asked.

"Okay, go and ask. Which direction?" Li Qi said.

"West." She pointed the way.

The old horse didn't say much, and took off directly, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and ran away quickly.

Galloping, great luck... cough cough, anyway, the old horse ran quickly towards the west.

Only about a quarter of an hour later, a legion did appear in front of Li Qi.

The legion had neat formations, strict discipline, excellent weapons, and good spirits. The symbol of the military flag was an eagle.

As for cultivation, most of them were mortals of low rank, but basically they all had skills. There seemed to be nine ranks at the level of a thousand men.

I didn't see the highest commander directly, but there was a general flag and a carriage, which should be inside, so Li Qi couldn't see the cultivation of the highest commander.

This legion, with a total of about 10,000 people, was not a large army.

These soldiers gathered together and hurried on their way slowly. There were no wounded and no abandoned baggage, so there was no feeling of chaos, but rather an ordinary march.

However, when Li Qi passed by, the army seemed to have discovered him.

After all, Li Qi was a little too ostentatious now.

He was not bad looking to begin with, seven and a half feet tall, well-proportioned, handsome, neatly dressed, and a flying dragon horse under his crotch.

When the dragon horse moves, there are auspicious clouds following and thunder surrounding it. Mortals may not notice it because it is too far away, but practitioners who have entered the ninth level will hear the whistling sound, just like the humming sound after an airplane flies over.

If you look up, if your eyesight is good enough, you can also see a beautiful woman sitting sideways behind him. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a young nobleman going out for a trip, with a chic demeanor.

At this moment, it is natural for a person with this style to be noticed when passing by the army.

After seeing that he was noticed, Li Qi said to Lao Ma: "Go down, I'll talk to them."

Hearing this, Lao Ma landed on the ground, snorted, and neighed. Suddenly, a group of electric snakes swam around. The frightened soldiers immediately picked up their spears and formed a formation.

"Wait here for a while, I'll go and ask about the situation." Li Qi lowered his voice, turned off the horse, and then walked slowly towards the army.

After walking about a mile, Li Qi bowed to the alert army and said, "My warriors, may I ask if this is the Bailin Kingdom's pass?"

The army suddenly started to whisper, but soon quieted down under the rebuke of officers at all levels, and continued to form a formation.

After the army formed a formation, you can see the military spirit floating, the red air blocking the sun, and a circle of spiritual light around the military flag, like a melon vine connecting, forming an illusory giant eagle with claws like a sharp blade, staring at Li Qi.

Soon, a military monk of the thousand-man level came out, with a ninth-grade cultivation and impressive strength.

The captain held a spear and said to Li Qi: "The front is the Bailin Kingdom Pass. What do you want, sir?"

"That's good. I'm just afraid that I've gone the wrong way. I'm Li Qi. I want to go to the Devouring Heaven Demon Nest and cut off a few demon heads as a training. I just found that there was no one at the pass, so I was a little suspicious. But the warrior said that this is the pass. Since I'm not wrong, I'll continue to move forward." Li Qi bowed and turned to leave.

However, as Li Qi expected, the captain immediately spoke to keep him: "Young man, please stay!"

Li Qi naturally knew that the other party would keep him.

An army that was evacuating its original defense zone saw someone about to go to the war zone. If there was no expression, it would be too abnormal.

If the other party really didn't keep him, Li Qi would follow this army to see the specific situation.

Seeing that the captain kept him, Li Qi turned around: "I don't know, warrior?"

"Young hero, are you going to the Heaven-Devouring Demon's Nest? Do you know what happened there recently?" the captain shouted from the air.

"Has there been any change in the Sky-Swallowing Demon Nest?" Li Qi frowned, walked forward quickly, and directly approached the army.

The soldiers raised their guns nervously, but no one made any move without the officer's order.

The captain was also a little wary, and was about to make a sound to ask Li Qi to stop and not to come over casually, because this could easily cause misunderstanding.

The other party is a monk, who knows if he is a demon in disguise? The general hasn't spoken yet.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the carriage behind him, and the general spoke.

The voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the surrounding mountains and fields: "You said your name is Li Qi? But is it Li Qi, the witch who has become famous recently?"

"Ah? Famous?" Li Qi was stunned. He had never heard of his reputation.

But it's understandable, after all, he came all the way and never looked back.

"I have also heard on the front line that the wizard Li Qi has become famous in the Bailin Kingdom. He often performs chivalrous deeds without asking for anything in return. He walks along the way without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the ultimate goal is to swallow the demon nest and kill the demon. It is really admirable. "A general came out of the carriage, wearing armor and more than nine feet tall. Li Qicai only reached his chest.

Not only tall, but also strong, with a strong back and strong waist, muscles are knotted, and blood vessels are running like snakes under the muscles. He is full of evil spirit, and the martial arts energy is almost gushing out.

Li Qi could tell at a glance that this was the eighth level of martial arts! He is indeed the leader of an army.

This was the first time he saw a living eighth-level martial artist!

The reason is not difficult to understand, because the path of martial arts is extremely difficult.

To be honest, Li Qidu abolished his martial arts training after preparing to condense his soul. Without him, it would be too hard.

Practice boxing every day, and if you don't practice for one day, your cultivation will regress. It will also test your understanding to the extreme, and it is a pure ox-horse path.

Later, there would be a conflict with Wu Dao, so Li Qi was ready to just abolish it.

Therefore, seeing a living eighth-level martial artist at this moment made him very surprised.

Who is this? Oh no, who is this?

Facing the Eighth Grade, Li Qi still showed respect. He immediately raised his hand and asked: "I dare not boast in front of the general. I wonder why the general called me to stop?"

"Nothing, I just want to meet the famous young hero. By the way, I would like to remind you that there have been changes in the Sky-Swallowing Demon Nest. Going in recently may not be a good choice."
