Chapter 215 Peace of Mind

Returning to Guangyang City again, Li Qi rushed to Sikong Mansion without stopping.

Without even paying a visit, he just opened the door and walked in.

Pushing the door open, he saw Guangyang Sikong already waiting in the courtyard.

With seventh-grade perception, Li Qi probably felt someone coming while he was still flying in the air.

When he met Li Qi, although there was still a trace of disgust and fear hidden in his eyes, he still looked respectful and grateful on the surface. He bowed his hands and said, "Young Master, I wish you a favor, come to this lowly land, and confer blessings on this place. There is so much disrespect. Please forgive me!”

"It's just that although my official position is low, I'm a little older, and I don't dare to do the courtesy, lest the young master be criticized, so I just stand and bow!"

He is courteous and considerate, his words are respectful, and his attitude is not picky. Overall, he highlights a desire to survive.

After all, he was standing in front of someone whose words could determine his life or death.

A young master from Wushen Mountain has great authority.

They are the reserves of the great witch, the next generation of rulers of the Wushen Mountain. The purpose of their existence is to succeed or even surpass their master. In order to accomplish this, the Wushen Mountain will clear all obstacles for them.

Although they generally use these permissions very carefully and are unlikely to abuse them, are they sure that they will make the other party angry?

In this regard, Guangyang Sikong is very self-aware.

He was unwilling to serve when they met for the first time, but he was still ready to escape the second time. It was not until Wang Baiyan saw the two young masters appearing at the same time that he returned to fight.

This behavior has completely offended people. When he returned later, although rewards based on merit should be indispensable, the two young masters would probably be really fed up with him.

For example, now, he just opened the door and walked in without even announcing it, which shows that he still has some emotions in his heart.

So as soon as they met, Guangyang Sikong kept his attitude very low, for fear that he would offend these second-generation ancestors.

However, even if he had thousands of opinions in his heart, he had to admit one thing...

That is, these second-generation ancestors indeed have the ability to deserve the title of 'Master'.

Without the help of the power of the mountain sect, just two ninth-grade people, they were able to mediate in the local area for a month and a half, and then they killed a seventh-grade person by force. Such a record... Such a mind, not to mention their talents.

If these two people were targeting him...even if the other party didn't go home and bring in reinforcements, but simply dug a hole for him behind his back, he would probably fall into it.

However, Li Qi didn't think as much as the other party thought.

He was just simply anxious.

You don't need to keep someone like Guangyang Sikong in mind. He is just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He cannot make any trouble. If he has no adventures in this life, he is probably unlikely to advance to the sixth level.

"Sikong, there is no need to be polite. By the way, does Sikong know the recent situation in Guangyang's ground?" Li Qi asked directly when he came up.

These words made Guangyang Sikong's teeth sore.

Because... before Li Qi came, he was already packing up his belongings and preparing to run away.

The land in Guangyang is rotten. It is useless to stay here. It is better to run away quickly. This is the right way.

He is a dignified seventh-grade man who practices Taoism and is familiar with craftsmanship. Where can he go without making a living?

It’s okay if you don’t want to take this vacuous position!

So, at this time, this young man came out and said this... What does it mean?

"I know, I know, but... why did the young master bring up this matter?" His teeth were sore and his face was wrinkled. He barely maintained a subtle smile and asked Li Qi.

"Nothing special, I just hope Sikong can help me with two things." Li Qi said.

"Young master, you only have to do what you are told. If you can do it, I will never refuse to serve you, even if I die!" He immediately expressed his loyalty.

"You don't have to die. The first thing I want you to do is to help me forge an altar. The upper part can reach the sky, the lower part can connect to the earth, and the middle part can see ghosts and gods." Li Qi said: "The wages will be paid, and I will only carry the necessary materials. It needs to be perfect, and it’s best to be able to shrink it and take it away.”

Guangyang Sikong immediately agreed: "It's a small matter. No need for the young master to contribute. I can prepare the materials myself. Just treat it as a gift to the young master. Please don't refuse it. What about the second favor?"

"The second task is also very simple. In the Guangyang officialdom right now, the person with the highest official position is Sikong. Sima Situ is dead, and the prefect has fled long ago. Only Sikong can take charge of the overall situation."

"Sikong heard that I wanted to build an altar. I'm afraid he already knows what I want to do. I also asked Sikong to coordinate for me and prepare the official power of the Guangyang family. It is best to have each family send a representative. I Talk to them one by one and have a small meeting," Li Qi said gently.

"That's natural! Leave this matter to me, sir, but don't worry!" Guangyang Sikong answered immediately, without hesitation at all.

He already knew what Li Qi was going to do.

Really...

He is worthy of being the Master of Wushen Mountain.

Taking over the grand festival of a state...is it really something that only a ninth-grade person can handle?

Nothing can go wrong, right?

Forget it, that has nothing to do with me.

Since the other party has something for him to do, it means that even if he holds a grudge, he won't settle the matter now. He still has a good night's sleep, so there is no need to be too alarmed.

After receiving Guangyang Sikong's assurance, Li Qi nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then turned to leave.

Time to find the next one.

The next one is Wang Baiyan.

Riding the old horse and accelerating all the way, he quickly arrived at Wang Baiyan.

Still just push the door open and enter.

Wang Baiyan was sitting in the courtyard with a pile of scrolls and documents in front of him, and seemed to be busy.

Others did not dare to stop Li Qi. They all knew that this was a figure that even his boss would treat with courtesy, so they could only watch as Li Qi walked quickly towards the yard.

However, this time, before Li Qi could speak, Wang Baiyan raised his head first and started the topic: "Ah, Brother Li is here? Come, I'm just ready for you here."

As he spoke, he handed over a scroll.

Li Qi frowned, took it over and opened it, only to find that it contained detailed arrangements and plans for resettling scattered refugees.

Very detailed, down to the individual level.

How many people go to a certain village, how many people go to a certain township, how many people are in which county, their respective journey plans, and resettlement situations are all written very clearly.

Li Qi watched and listened to Wang Baiyan's explanation.

Wang Baiyan stood up, opened the folding fan, and said while shaking it: "I am not going to send those 100,000 victims to the small world. In the current situation, sending them to the small world is not good."

"Today's Guangyang, the landscape is in ruins. I think Brother Li will definitely not leave this situation alone, so I guess in advance that Brother Li will definitely solve this matter in his own way."

"Brother Li is wishing people. The best way to solve this problem is to hold a sacrifice."

"So, I feel that a sacrifice of this level would require the mobilization of a huge amount of manpower and the cooperation of the lower levels."

"Guangyang Sikong, as an original official figure, can coordinate the power of the government for you, but in the final analysis, you still have to mobilize the people at the lowest level."

"Baiyue is no better than the Tang State. The Tang State had extensive education and prosperous humanity. Whether it was education or laws, it could effectively mobilize the masses. However, the people in Baiyue were ignorant and the government did not have much prestige. They relied more on family and neighbor relationships. Clan and gang forces are what the people of Baiyue believe in more.”

Li Qi nodded after listening to Wang Baiyan's statement.

There was nothing wrong with what he said. He was from a lower-class background, so he naturally knew that the people in Baiyue actually believed in the government. To them, the government was just a tax collector.

Although without the government, it would be difficult for the people to maintain a stable living environment. After all, it is the government that eliminates demons and regulates the earth's energy. But if you really want to say how responsible the Guangyang government is... it is definitely out of the question.

However, what does Wang Baiyan mean by saying this?

Li Qi's expression gradually turned into confusion, and he was ready to wait for Wang Baiyan's next explanation.

Wang Baiyan didn't show off, and said directly: "I divided those 100,000 people and sent them to various places in Guangyang. Before leaving, I kept promoting the Lord's kindness to them. I even organized them to observe the battlefield before leaving, and rewarded them. I got a few people who took the initiative to build a shrine for you and pay homage to you, which made them famous."

"In this way, the 100,000 people will have the concept of the young master's kindness in their hearts. When they spread around, it will take at most a month to spread the praise of the young master's kindness. One person will spread it to ten, and ten will spread it to a hundred people. By then, hundreds of people will be able to spread the word. Everyone can know the name of the prince, which is much faster than the official summons."

"If the young master wants to hold a big sacrifice, the support of all the people is indispensable. In this way, it can save the young master at least half a year, and the support of the people can also be increased by more than 50%. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

After listening to Wang Baiyan's explanation, Li Qi sighed.

It’s still comfortable to deal with smart people.

As expected of a descendant of a Tang family, his brain is easy to use, even better than Guangyang Sikong's. He does things appropriately and is always prepared in advance.

"Brother Wang, you have taken the trouble. Yes, I came to you for this very reason, but it seems that you have completed it ahead of schedule. You are worthy of being a talented person in the Tang Dynasty." Li Qi sighed.

Wang Baiyan replied: "Brother Li, I, the Liang League and the Xiajiumen in your hands, control countless gangs, and their roots have spread to the people. They can be regarded as the middle channel between the government and the people. I will also contact the government, and I will definitely help you." After all, this is for our own good.”

"If Guangyang is really devastated, it will not only be the people who will suffer, but us as well."

When he said this, he raised his hands and saluted Li Qi: "Without the skin, how can the hair be attached? Are there intact eggs under the overturned nest? Of course I understand the truth of dying lips and cold teeth. If Guangyang really becomes a dead place, we who are attached will People in Guangyang are not feeling well either. Brother Li, please do your best to save Guangyang."

Li Qize nodded solemnly: "No need to say more about this matter, leave it to me."

Both of them were smart people, so they said no more and left to do their own things.

Then, Guangyang's military, civilians, government, and Jianghu forces all have someone to coordinate.

The only thing left is the sacrifice that he is responsible for.

On the way back, Li Qi asked himself.

Can I really... hold a grand ceremony in a state with a ninth-grade body?

Disaster.

It's really not that difficult.

This is different from those sacrifices in the past.

It's probably... the difference between elements and compounds.

Elements are very pure, but compounds are very complex and can cause big problems if you move them even slightly.

If you don't understand it this way, you can also think of it as a question.

In the past, Li Qi just followed the specific forms and situations step by step, and then applied the patterns recorded in the book. It was as if the formulas were already there, and he only needed to calculate the answers to the word problems based on the formulas.

Although there are some difficulties, generally speaking, it is step-by-step. They are all application questions at the end, and at most they are a bit over the top.

But now, what needs to be solved is not an application problem.

But you are really asked to build a bridge.

Field survey, data calculation, ritual arrangement, wire planning, even altar placement, and sacrificial speech application, each point is entangled and affects each other. If one point is wrong, it will lead to a series of chain reactions.

What means should be used to treat heaven, earth, ghosts, gods, and people? So that there will be no favoritism?

How to deal with so many different types of qi without causing chaos?

You know, if there is one more element, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

For example, there is only one kind of qi, Shenqi, and there is only one solution, "Shen".

There are two kinds of qi, Shengui, and there are two solutions, "Shengui" and "Ghosts and Gods".

Five kinds of qi will become 120 solutions

Add more, such as 26 kinds of qi, only 21 more, but there are 1413720 combinations.

A full 1.4 million, more than 10,000 times more.

How many qi are involved in a big sacrifice?

But there are more than ten kinds of mountain gods.

How many kinds of Qi are there in Guangyang?

Even if we break it down to the basics, there are no less than a thousand.

The full arrangement of thousands of Qi is a number that cannot be enumerated by exhaustive enumeration.

Even using 100 million as the unit is not enough.

He must choose an available option from this endless choice. If he chooses the wrong one, the backlash of the great sacrifice may cause him to reincarnate directly.

It's difficult, really difficult.

But... it's difficult, but you have to do it.

Since this is the way to practice your own Tao, there is no need to hesitate, just do it.

Unlike the little boatman who only needs to take care of his own safety.

Now I can and can take the safety of others.

Li Qi can now vaguely understand Shen Shuibi's feelings.

The so-called "Tao" is your own principle.

Only by following your own Tao, this long life will be meaningful, otherwise you will just be a walking corpse.

So Shen Shuibi was so angry when she saw the Jing family girl in Shewei County calling herself a kendo.

It is indeed too superficial to call a mere skill Tao.

Then the next step is to prepare for the grand sacrifice.

The first step is to walk all over Guangyang, patrol the mountains and explore the water, and explore the mountains, rivers and humanities.

If you want to host the grand sacrifice, understanding the context of this place is the most basic and most important part.

If you don’t understand it, how can you host and dispatch it?

Having decided what to do, Li Qi will not hesitate. He immediately packed his luggage, said hello to Shen Shuibi, and then rode on his old horse to patrol the mountains.

The old group exploded again, and the new group is 317175348
