Myriad Paths

A magic technique! ?

"Are you sure it's a magic technique?" Uncle Liu's expression froze.

"Well, it's a technique, but I don't know what happened. I... seem to have learned it too?" Li Qi rubbed his head.

Yes, in addition to the inexplicable extra progress bar in his mind, he also had another memory.

No, it can’t be said to be a memory, because it doesn’t contain any visual words, patterns or anything like that. It’s more like a kind of... perception?

"Have you learned it too? Can you teach it to the gang?" Uncle Liu's originally depressed expression suddenly turned into one of surprise.

"I don't know... I can't use it yet, and I don't know how to describe it. It seems like a feeling. I can't describe it without words. Give me some time." Li Qi didn't know what to say.

"It should be the inheritance of divine will. It's normal that you can't tell." Uncle Six nodded and agreed with Li Qi's statement.

"Uncle Six, do you know?" Li Qi was stunned.

"Who do you think founded the Paibo Gang? And who was the first to bring Paibo Jin here?" Uncle Six said with a smile.

Later, he comforted Li Qi: "It's okay. We have obtained the inheritance of divine will. Even if we make money in vain, there is only one question. How did the Li Zhuang Gang get close to the master?"

Li Qize explained, "I heard from the side that an expert divined that the Li Zhuang Gang could help him get a 'heretic object', so he hired the Li Zhuang Gang to look for it, and he actually found it, so The master rewarded them with a magic technique. I happened to see this scene and seemed to be affected. Uncle Liu, what is the inheritance of divine will? "

It was once again confirmed that Li Qi had mastered the inheritance of divine will. Uncle Liu's expression was completely relaxed. He first looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then continued: "I don't know what the inheritance of divine will is, but I know it. Yes, it’s like putting a book into your mind. As long as you practice regularly, you can learn the techniques in it. I also had the opportunity to learn Paibo Jin before, and that’s how I came to have the Paibo Gang.”

"You will teach us, right?" Uncle Six asked, looking a little nervous.

Although he trusted Li Qi very much, but...it was a magic technique after all.

"Don't worry, after I learn it, I won't forget to help others." Li Qi quickly promised.

The Paibo Gang taught him Paibo Jin no matter what, and it was Uncle Liu who saved him in the first place. He was not an ungrateful person, nor would he hide a secret technique.

Besides, if you teach the gang, if the gang is stronger, they may be able to do other businesses, and they will be able to live better at that time. Cooperation will benefit both sides, so there is no need to hide selfish things.

"That's good. You don't have to go to Kaihe. We will help you carry it. Your reward will not be less. Now go back and think about the divine intention in your mind to see if you can get the magic." Liu Shuyi Waving his hands, he was ready to let Li Qi go back.

But Li Qi shook his head: "No, we can't go back now."

"Although I have my face covered, someone from the Strong Gang did see me, and they will definitely not let it go."

"They will definitely chase after us. When they find out that someone did not go to open the river, they will definitely find something wrong just like us." Li Qi said.

Because the Li Zhuang Gang did not come to open the river, I and others went to find it. The people from the Li Zhuang Gang were not stupid, and they would definitely have noticed that there was something wrong with the people who returned.

"So, let's open the river as usual. When you came to save me before, you told the public that I had a cold and fever and suddenly fainted, and that I went to save him. The caliber must be the same. Uncle Six, go and tell them in person, remember "No one of us went out today. I fainted because of a fever."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm in a hurry, so I'll do as you say! You rest first, and I'll go talk to them." Uncle Six nodded repeatedly, then immediately walked out of the shed and walked quickly towards everyone in the Paibo Gang.

Li Qi, on the other hand, shook his head and sat down again.

Until the next open river relay.

Throughout the day, he continued his business on the river, hauling the boat all day long and exerting extra effort.

Until the evening, in the Lishui River in the city, the ice was crushed by the pressure, the water flow started to bounce, and the opening of the river was over.

But he showed nothing.

At the end of the day, he had realized...

I'm afraid, what's in my head is the little bit left of my game console.

The so-called "heretic thing" is the progress bar.

This was his guess, and it might not be correct, but after thinking about it for a day, it should be like this.

I guess this might be some residual game progress bar? Is it the only thing left of your game console?

Damn, if the game console was good, would he have a system by now? Rather than just a progress bar that seems to be of little use?

But there's no point in complaining, it's better to accept the reality.

As for the strange "reflection" in his mind, he also saw clearly what it was.

How do you see clearly?

Of course, you just need to pay attention to that insight, and the progress bar will pop up in front of you:

"Learning: Ox Power Technique, progress is 1%."

It turns out that this insight is called Niu Li Shu?

With the suffix "shu", it seems that it is indeed a "spell".

Originally it was 0%, but after he tried it, it seemed that he only needed to immerse himself in it and gradually move his body according to the rhythm inside, and he could begin to gradually understand the methods.

He just immersed himself in his insights and used the "instinct" in it to pull the boat. After pulling the boat for a whole day, it finally became 1%.

"The river crossing is over. Come here, the trackers. The governor will personally reward you!" An official stood by the river and shouted to a group of exhausted trackers.

When the trackers heard this, they got up one after another, even if they were sweating profusely and exhausted.

It’s been a tiring day, and even a lot of efforts were made to fight for the opening of the river. Isn’t it just for today’s reward?

It is not possible to open ships now because only this section of the ice has been crushed. The entire Lishui River is thousands of miles long. How can it be possible to open all of it to ships?

Opening the river is just a ceremony, a ceremony to pray that the river water will thaw as soon as possible.

However, after the river opening ceremony, it usually only takes seven or eight days for the entire river to be opened to boats.

Li Qi, on the other hand, threw away those unnecessary thoughts, ran over and stood in a pile.

He is not in a hurry. If he can delay for a while, then he will delay for a while.

After all, during the opening of the river, the Lizhou Armed Forces were here, and the Lizhou Prefect was also here. The young man I saw before should not dare to make trouble, right?

Although I know that this is actually of no use. If the other party really wants to cause trouble for me, then no one can save him, but there is no other way. I can hide for a while, right?

There were many people around, perhaps tens of thousands, lining up for two or three miles by the Lishui River.

The ceremony of opening the river is not only performed by trackers, but also by sailors, boatmen, weavers, etc. There are about dozens of groups that come together to hold a complete opening of the river.

Therefore, after the ceremony, the prefect of Lizhou would circle the river under the guard of honor and reward everyone who participated in the ceremony around the river.

Li Qi also looked at the progress bar of the river opening ceremony in front of him, which reached 97%.

It is estimated that when the rewards are over, it will become a hundred.

"The prefect has arrived! Pay your respects!" an official shouted loudly.

Following the order, everyone on the riverside knelt down one after another. Tens of thousands of people along the way within three miles of Lishui fell to the ground like wheat fields blown by the wind!

The governor of a state has such power.

Drums, carriages, ceremonial guards, and flags.

At the beginning, there was a group of black-armored warriors in front, each of them eight feet tall, extremely strong, with cold eyes. They looked at the trackers like pigs and dogs, and didn't care. They just silently held up their halberds and led the way.

Li Qi participated in two river openings, so he naturally understood what it was.

This is the armed forces of Lizhou.

Everyone was a humanoid Gundam. Li Qi had personally seen the commander of the Armed Forces cut off the Lishui River with his sword, causing the water in the river to stop for several seconds.

The black-armored warrior opened the way, with the carriage behind him.

The frame is luxurious, with mountains and rivers engraved on it. There are layers of red clouds, and steep rocks stand between them. The mist is hidden in the light, and the colors of the rocks are about to fly. Behind countless mountains and rivers, two towers confront each other, and there are layers of cliffs surrounding the outside, and a big river passes through it.

If you pay a little more attention, you can find that on the frame is a map of Lizhou.

The prefect was on top of the carriage, and a nine-foot-tall man with a handsome appearance was driving on it, driving slowly by the Lishui River.

Everywhere he passed, he recited a sacrificial inscription, and then officials came forward and put down the rewards.

Along the way, he came to the tracker on Li Qi's side.

A voice came from the carriage, full of energy: "In the Qinghua Palace, there is the God of Lishui, with forty-two Cao, and ninety million people. He is in charge of the affairs of Lishui thousands of miles and all spirits. You trackers are one of them. Cao, you pull up the boat and sail to relieve natural disasters, and relieve the troubled people below. Today is the grand ceremony of opening the river. You have used your energy to relieve the troubled water and eliminate the guilt. You should be rewarded!"

Following this ritual, three officials came forward and dragged up nine fat pigs, nine nets of fresh fish, two handfuls of copper coins, and two pieces of ice just fished out of the river, and placed them on the kneeling In front of the leader of the Water Horse Gang and Uncle Six.

The pig was estimated to weigh a thousand or two thousand pounds. It had black fur and sharp teeth, and the bristles on its body made it obvious that it was invulnerable, but now it was tied up tightly and could not move.

The fish are also nearly half a meter long, and some even have sharp teeth, which can be seen as ferocious at first sight.

There were two gangs on both sides, and the Paibo Gang, who was the leader, got the remaining share, five pigs and five nets of fish.

Both gangs took their rewards, but neither left.

Because we have to wait until all the rewards are over before we can leave together.

"What's going on...?" Li Qi, who originally just wanted to have a peaceful time, saw a progress bar pop up on the prefect's carriage: 'Ritual enhancement: 90%. ’

This progress bar progresses very quickly, and it ends after rewarding the tracker gang.

Li Qi did not continue to lower his head, but continued to stare.

Then, he saw with his own eyes that every time a person was rewarded and a different ritual was recited, the progress bar of this ritual enhancement would appear once.

All rewards have been distributed.

The prefect left without saying a word or showing his face from beginning to end.

But Li Qi suddenly thought of something.

This is what the young student said: "The way of humanity is to gather people for one's own use. All countries in the world are also in the way of humanity."

Is this kind of sacrificial ritual a form of humanity?

Li Qi guessed this.

Then, he looked at Lishui again.

This time, he was shocked to find a progress bar hanging on Lishui.

"River opening ceremony: 99% progress."

"It's not over yet? What's going on?" He discovered this unexpectedly.

In the past, after all the rewards were over, the river-opening ceremony was over and everyone else could leave.

If it weren't for the progress bar reminder, he would have noticed for the first time that the river opening ceremony was not over yet.

At this time, a tracker came up and called Li Qi.

"Brother Li, let's go! We have to find a butcher to kill the pig tonight!"

"Today's five fat pigs and big fish are definitely enough for us for a year!"

The trackers were in high spirits, some were preparing to take fish home, and a dozen others were carrying fat pigs, preparing to move them to the butcher to kill the pigs.

In this world, killing pigs is a technical job. Even if these trackers hold machetes, they cannot cut through the fur of such big pigs. They have to find specialized butchers. Their skills are powerful and powerful, and they are proficient in the vital points of pigs and sheep. Only they can kill such fat pigs and remove the meat.

Therefore, the butchers also formed a small group.

In this world, almost everyone must belong to a small group with Kung Fu as its core.

"You go back first, I won't go." Li Qi said suddenly.

"Ah? Not going? Then Brother Li, where are you going? There will be an eviction next to Lishui in a while." A tracker was confused.

But at this time, Uncle Six came out and gave him a kick: "Why are you asking so many questions! I have arranged things for Xiao Li, what are you pigheads asking for? Let's go, my mother-in-law is still waiting for the meat to be cooked!"

When Uncle Six said this, the others stopped asking and their thoughts turned to the fat pigs and fresh fish.

I don’t usually get to eat these!

Fish can be caught, but they are all small fish, but these big fish in front of them are frighteningly powerful in the water. If they are not good at it, they can be knocked out of breath immediately, which is not something that these trackers can always do. Delicious food.

So they gathered around Uncle Liu and Zhuyu one by one and left happily.

Uncle Six did not ask Li Qi what he wanted to do.

After all, Li Qi is still carrying a mission, which should be related to this aspect.

This is also a benefit of small groups.

Here, an individual is nothing without the group, so rules and trust are particularly important. After Li Qi made his promise, Uncle Six gave him equal trust without hesitation.

After Li Qi watched them leave, he was also ready to go out.

It’s impossible not to leave. Just like what the tracker said before, if you don’t leave, you will drive people away.

After the river was opened, no one was allowed to stay.

It was this rule, coupled with the constant 99% on the progress bar, that made Li Qi suspicious.

The humanistic method...relying on rituals to strengthen oneself?

The river-opening ceremony was not over yet, but the prefect began to drive people away.

This gave Li Qi a crazy idea.

Can he participate in the river opening ceremony? ?

You know, he is a participant in opening the Hetou Road and is also part of this ceremony.

Now that he has secretly learned the skills of the Strong Gang, according to the conventions of this world, he is a must-kill person!

Besides, he doesn’t want to be a tracker for the rest of his life!

The sudden awakening of the golden finger and the magic in his mind gave Li Qi the idea of ​​giving it a try!
