Chapter 145 Divine Weapon
On the other side, the ‘passing traveler’ did not seem anxious.
Li Qi sat by the inn, teasing the little fox, looking very relaxed.
Shen Shuibi was busy, and the rabbit was carving spells all over the inn, arranging formations, burying different qi, and muttering to herself.
“Six inches for one breath, four to two feet and four inches for one knife, two feet and four feet, four gui, two hundred and forty feet, six zhu…Yinwen fire for one hundred and eight breaths, Wuji fire for sixty-four, Jiabing fire for seventy-two…Ah, it’s wrong.”
Then she was busy knocking it off and redrawing it, running around the whole room, making it uneasy.
Fortunately, she was cute.
So no one had any objections.
However, even if there were any opinions, no one dared to say anything.
Everyone knew that this cute and confused girl was actually a hermit who almost killed an eighth-grade existence.
But in fact, there were not many people, all of them were the original servants and helpers, without a single guest.
The entire inn had been cleaned up long ago. After returning that day, Piaoxu asked all the guests to leave one by one and gave compensation. After that, she refused to receive any guests.
Even Piaoxu knew that her place might become the center of the vortex, so she quickly vacated the inn.
As for the guests, they had already wanted to run away.
Knowing that there was an eighth-grade master with a hidden identity living next to her... This feeling was really bad, especially when she had offended someone.
So, now there were only two guests in the inn, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi.
Li Qi held a little red fox with smooth fur in his arms and said, "Don't worry, Qiya, we also know that this matter was caused by me, and we won't just pat our butts and leave. Why are you worried so much?"
The little fox he teased was named Qiya, and she was Piaoxu's sister. Of course, she was not her biological child, but a little fox that had been picked up and had awakened.
Although she had awakened, she had not turned into a demon. For the time being, she still had some beast habits and could not speak.
Monsters don't care about blood relationship, they only consider the same clan based on intelligence, so their relationship is no worse than that of real sisters.
It is said that the two foxes, Hu Xian'er and Hu Mei'er, from Qingwu Sect are not their own children, because monsters don't care about such things at all.
Qiya heard what Li Qi said, shook his tail, bit Li Qi's sleeve lightly, and looked very happy.
Li Qi also liked this little red-haired fox very much. While rubbing the fluffy red-haired big tail, he pondered what to do next.
In fact, Li Qi has not been idle these days.
Shen Shuibi is responsible for things like protection, and he has obtained a lot of information from the people who come to visit through asking or some means of witchcraft.
First of all, Jin Buhuan's identity has been confirmed again by many parties. Many people who come to visit and ask for an audience say that Jin Buhuan is the most valued son of the Green Mountain God.
This man was arrogant and domineering, with a capricious mood. He relied on the power of his father and claimed to be the son of God. He kept countless concubines and was extremely licentious. He often raped girls to be his concubines, and sometimes he didn't even touch them, just for fun.
He also gave away his harem lavishly and invited people to banquets. If someone liked a girl, he could take her away without any offense.
In addition, he also built a lot of gardens. In Qingwu City alone, he had three or four gardens, each of which was luxurious and extravagant, with countless gold and jade, and countless natural treasures.
However, he basically left all these gardens idle, locked and closed all year round, and ordered several old servants to guard them. In the past 20 years, no one has ever been there.
He also liked exquisite objects and beautiful jades. In short, he liked anything that cost money. He didn't do his job and left everything to his maids. He either feasted, had sex in the harem, or went out to participate in gambling every day. He was arrogant and extravagant, a typical second-generation rich.
Everyone who heard it cursed.
But Li Qi saw something else from it.
Even though he was so extravagant, he didn't seem to be getting poorer. Instead, he was more generous.
Most of the people who came to visit him, when asked by Li Qi, had cursed Jin Buhuan for using insidious means to rob and rob, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
And he also noticed that more wealthy merchants in the city did not come, and even Qingwu Sect seemed to have not seen him and did not come to the door at all.
All kinds of signs made Li Qi sigh.
Although no one said good things about him, Li Qi still summed up some things with the help of various clues.
First of all, although Jin Buhuan was arrogant and even willful, killing people indiscriminately, and dared to burn down a small market just for a moment of anger, in fact... this man seemed to be very capable. It was true that he was extravagant, but he also made a lot of money.
No matter what he bought, he used floating wealth, which was liquid money.
Some people who learned from him also played cards and gambled, collected beautiful maids, traveled on rivers and lakes, and played all kinds of games. No matter what kind of gentry, as long as they gave up their studies to compete, their wealth would be gone in a few years. Only he seemed to be getting richer and richer no matter how he squandered, and there was no sign of his property being emptied.
Because he never touched the means of production, that is, the real "industry", lightly, and each one was well preserved and never used easily. The bottom line was very clear.
In addition, his style offended many people, so Li Qi just had a little conflict with him, took advantage of him, and got the upper hand in an encounter. It was just a small matter, but someone came to the door immediately and tried to recommend Li Qi to stand on their side to fight against Jin Buhuan. Obviously, these people had been at odds with Jin Buhuan for a long time.
However, there are other wealthy businessmen who are firmly on his side.
The act of giving concubines is said to be lewd, but in fact, isn’t it really a show of goodwill and bribery?
He often plays a lot and runs to various shops, spending a lot of money and squandering, but what if this is just a means for him to express his attitude?
And, no matter how you look at it, the industry associations controlled by Jin Buhuan have tied another group of people firmly to Jin Buhuan.
He is not a lonely second-generation ancestor who is hated by people and ghosts, but a real big force in Qingwu City.
Again, that is the attitude of Qingwu Sect, which is very subtle.
It is true that the Green Mountain God is of the sixth rank, but the local snake is the Qingwu Sect after all. Hu Xian'er and Hu Mei'er are both of the seventh rank. This Qingwu City is also a city designated by the Lord of Green Mountain. Here, the Green Mountain God may not be too presumptuous.
But up to now, I have not heard that the Qingwu Sect has responded to all of Jin Buhuan's previous actions. It has neither shown goodwill nor made enemies. It is completely invisible.
What does the Qingwu Sect think?
Layers of clues are entangled together, so Li Qi did not rashly make this bird. He originally wanted to leave and go to other places, but since Piaoxu was involved, if he left, she would definitely die without a burial.
This violated Li Qi's righteousness and prevented him from packing up and moving forward.
"Well... I still have to keep watching. While ensuring my own safety, I will continue to see Jin Buhuan's reaction." Li Qi thought for a long time and finally decided to wait and see.
Now, there is one more goal in Qingwu City.
That is to help Piaoxu escape.
After finishing this, run away quickly.
No matter how bad the local tyrants here are, they are just local tyrants. If you run out of Green Mountain Country, you may not see them again in this life.
"Old Ma's skills, help Piaoxu escape danger..." Li Qi silently recited his goal, and then remembered it in his heart.
Old Ma's skills can be slow, and skills are everywhere, so you don't have to do it here.
Just as he was thinking about this, a huge noise suddenly sounded outside.
It was not the kind of explosion, but... musical instruments.
First there was a drum, then a trumpet, then a drum, and then a string, and then a festive music sounded.
The rabbit shivered all over, and carved another wrong one, and shoveled it away bitterly and started over.
For things like arranging formations, unless it is a magic weapon such as a formation plate or formation chess that has been prepared long ago, it can be quickly changed according to the time and place, otherwise it can only be like Shen Shuibi, honestly surveying Feng Shui, checking the ground veins, determining the celestial phenomena, and then slowly arranging different formations according to the specific situation.
As for the formation, although there are things like formation diagrams and design drawings, in fact, that kind of thing is similar to a formula. How to really apply it to a specific environment and implement it still requires a lot of effort to study.
Rabbit buried his head and continued to carve.
After hearing the sound of the music, Li Qi frowned, put the begging tooth aside, stood up and walked out.
Piaoxu, who heard the sound, also hurried out, but Li Qi waved his hand and signaled her to go back.
Piaoxu had to step back and lean against the door to watch Li Qi walk out.
Just after walking out of the door, I saw a row of motorcades at the door!
The motorcades were all pulled by two maroon horses, both of which were first-class spirit horses. The carriages behind them were full of red lacquered large suitcases, which looked heavy.
In front, there were also sedan chairs, golden lanterns, torches, torches, fruits, vegetables and wine, etc., surrounding the carriages.
There were dozens of people standing beside the spirit horse, singing and playing music, making a lot of noise, spreading tents and holding red ribbons, looking very happy. If Li Qi didn't know the purpose of the visit, he would have thought that they were here to propose marriage.
Li Qi went out and looked up, but saw a ceremonial officer standing at the door. When he saw Li Qi, he immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Li! I am a servant of the Jin family. I came here on the orders of the young master to present a gift for the last matter!"
Li Qi hadn't reacted yet.
But after speaking, he immediately stood up straight, and without waiting for Li Qi's reaction, he ordered the servants around him to unfold a long couplet.
The two servants each held one end of the long couplet, paced to the left and right, and slowly unfolded it.
But the red long couplet was three feet long, and it could not be unfolded without two people holding one end each, and one person would definitely not be able to finish it.
The ceremonial officer walked to the far right and read aloud: "Today, I present this to Mr. Li!"
"Gold, three thousand catties!"
"Six thousand pieces of colored satin!"
"Eight hundred spiritual flowers!"
"Twelve Xuan incense burners!"
"Fifteen carts of calligraphy and paintings!"
"Eight and a half carts of fruits, nuts and vegetables!"
"Three feet and three feet of iron pear wood!"
"One foot and eighteen feet of red coral from the East China Sea!"
"Thirty catties of stone!"
"Six beauty goblets!"
"Two peony species 'One Foot Snow'!"
"Twenty insect-wrapped amber beads!"
"Twelve jadeite ruyi!"
As he read one, someone came forward to open the box.
Every time a box was opened, it seemed as if there was a flash of precious light.
But inside the boxes in the carriage, hundreds of treasures came out, pearls turned into amber, white snow smoked, corals became trees, red clouds bloomed, pearls were like stars, jade seemed to be emitting green flames, like thousands of layers of fire, countless rare treasures piled up into mountains, and only the external treasure light could be seen, and it was difficult to see all the treasures inside.
Li Qi was also stunned.
He had never seen such a... such a fascinating scene.
This scene really stunned him.
Is this a rich man?
However, this is not over yet. The gift list is three meters long, and it took a quarter of an hour to read it.
The treasure chests were opened and lined up for half a street.
Finally, the ceremonial officer shouted again: "Incomplete eighth-grade gold energy, born with a divine weapon!"
The box at the end of the carriage was opened, and a long sword was placed in it. Just when it appeared, it seemed that blood and flesh were splattered all around, shouting and screaming, and broken limbs and bodies were scattered all over!
Then, in the sea of blood, a line of crystal light pierced out, and no matter how chaotic the thunder and rain were, it did not move, and penetrated the sea of blood.
Many treasures were eclipsed by this thing!
All the countless treasure lights before were overwhelmed.
Even Li Qi was shocked.
Eighth grade! ?
What a joke!
Can this thing be given away! ?
What is the concept of eighth grade? Even in a city like Qingwu City with a floating population of tens of millions, how many eighth grade can there be?
Li Qi estimated that there were only one or two hundred.
The entire Qingwu City.
If it is ninth grade, it is one in a thousand.
Eighth grade is one in a million!
One grade and one level is not a joke, and each upgrade is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Eighth grade things are completely different from ninth grade things. It is basically impossible to fight across borders, unless you are a big guy like Shen Shuibi who has fallen from the realm and has a high-grade magic weapon in your hand.
Li Qi boasted that he could beat dozens of miscellaneous ninth-grade masters without orthodox inheritance, but when facing a miscellaneous eighth-grade master who had learned by himself, he still had only one idea in his mind, that is, to run away.
This is absolute suppression, an insurmountable gap.
At the beginning, the ghost god he communicated with for the first time, the Li Weng in the Great Deer Kingdom, was the kind of extremely inferior eighth-grade master.
But his ability was enough to set up a game after his death, so that his memory would continue to exist, and he could switch to the ghost way, and he could easily curse a rich family to be ruined and die, and his luck would be cut off.
Li Qi couldn't do any of these now. He still kept the ghost energy given to him by Li Weng as a trump card.
With this thought in mind, Li Qi couldn't help but take two steps forward to look at the magic weapon.
It was a long sword.
The body was as strong as a snake's spine, bending and stretching, and the intention was furious.
The handle of the sword was like a scale claw grabbing, and it was unrestrained. The mane was needle-like, angry like a halberd, and seemed to have blood.
Just by looking at it, you can feel the sharpness contained in it!
