Wandao long distance

Chapter 621 Seeing Old Horse Again
After that, Li Qi chatted with Shen Shuibi about some common topics.

These are all private conversations between husband and wife, not enough for outsiders to understand.

After a short rest for two or three days, Li Qi finally recovered. After all, he had sufficient resources and his blood energy hadn't been infiltrated for too long, so it wasn't difficult to recover.

There is also the vanity of cause and effect, this is not something that can be done in a day or two, take it slowly, anyway, Li Qi can't continue to use it, it should be restored in a few hundred years.

During this period, the battle lines have also leveled off.

Humanity slowly shrinks, witchcraft slowly advances, but after this bloody battle, both sides no longer have the power of a decisive battle in a short period of time.

But having more people is good.

Although Wu Dao's overall quality is uneven, they have enough people to change shifts.

Humanity has shrunk the overall front, so there are fewer places to defend, and it is barely possible to change shifts. As long as there are two shifts, there will be time to rest.

But it's not so much a 'rest', it's better to say it's a 'take a breath', so as not to be exhausted, the mental pressure is still extremely huge.

In comparison, the soldiers of the Wu Dao are much more comfortable. Their shifts are extremely long, and once they are stationed, it may take two or three years before the next turn.

After all, the front is so big that it can't accommodate more people.

All in all, the two sides have been at a stalemate for the time being.

Li Qi also knew that with such a shrinking of humanity, they must be waiting for an opportunity. They must have a backup, maybe it's... Liu Junyi himself.

Once Liu Junyi breaks through to the fifth rank, anyway, according to Zhu Fengdan, he can gather half of Li Qi's combat power in the battle zone by himself and give it to A.

There may be hyperbole, but what if there isn't?
Therefore, we should speed up as much as possible, but we can't speed up now, so let's continue to grind each other.

When the human nature is exhausted and reaches its limit, it is time for the final attack.

After formulating the strategy, Li Qi started the actual operation.

And Shen Shuibi also left again.

Her injury is still not healed, and she needs to take good care of her.

The first is the body, with the existence of a complete Yang God, it is not difficult to reshape the body based on this, but it still takes a little time to warm up to the original strength and fully fit the soul.

Her inner world is also riddled with holes, but fortunately it still exists, it is not broken, and it just needs to be warmed up slowly.

Anyway, there are no dropped items this time, which is much better than when I fled.

If there is Emperor Ointment from the Monster Race, it is estimated that only a small bottle can fully restore it, but it is a pity that Li Qi does not have that thing.

Then you can only raise it slowly.

Shen Shuibi went to recuperate, while Li Qi continued to command the war.

It's so peaceful... It doesn't seem too peaceful, anyway, the war is still going on, and more than one billion people are still killed every day.

Yes, every day.

But compared to the previous war, when the five ranks fell together, it was indeed peaceful.

Two or three months have passed since then——

At this time, Li Qi, who was presiding over the formation and commanding the dispatch of the army, suddenly received an inexplicable news.

A world lord reported directly to him that there was a dragon colt who practiced demonic arts asking to see him. He called himself 'Ma Ji' and said he was Li Qi's brother, and he also produced a proof.

This made Li Qi stunned for a moment.

To be honest, he hadn't heard of this name for more than 400 years, and even the memory that this name represented seemed a little blurred.

At the beginning of his cultivation, there was still such a dragon horse who always accompanied him and called him his brother.

However, the road is different. For the sake of the other party, he sent Longju to the outside world, forcing him to prove longevity.

But after being sent outside the territory, Li Qi never saw Ma Ji again.

Now, four hundred years have passed.

For Li Qi, this is probably...a middle-aged uncle in his thirties, suddenly a friend from kindergarten came to his door.

This is really...

I miss it.

Four hundred years, after thinking about it, is the lifespan limit of a dragon colt, right?

Without the certificate of longevity, even a dragon colt can only live for a few hundred years. Of course, this is already very long.

Compared with the insect monsters who live and die in the morning and evening, Longju is considered to be unique and talented.

But it's not necessarily the limit of lifespan. Maybe Ma Ji has achieved longevity?
Thinking so, Li Qi decisively asked the other party to send Ma Ji to his world of command.

After a few days, Ma Ji came.

An extremely aging dragon horse, led by a strutting Qipin, rewarded this place through the column.

When the seventh rank saw Li Qi, he immediately saluted and said respectfully: "Commander, Ma Ji has brought you here."

His eyes were full of admiration and awe.

The ordinary man in front of him is the commander of this war zone.

The Wushen Mountain is directly connected to it, and with a wave of hands, hundreds of millions of worlds are driven by it, and countless five-rank people will die for it.

To be honest, even though he has already achieved longevity, lived for more than 2000 years, and has seen countless imaginations and great achievements, the man in front of him is still the "peak of power" he can understand.

His imagination can't support him to imagine a greater existence, even if he knows that Wushen Mountain always talks about Wushen, Dazhu and other existences.

However, he couldn't even imagine and understand the state of Wushen and Dazhu.

Just like Cthulhu Outer God, you can describe Cthulhu Outer God, but can you imagine what Cthulhu looks like?

You may be able to say a bunch of words like 'infinity', 'spiritual pollution', 'body of the ancient god', but can you really understand it?You just say it, but you can't imagine what it should be like at all.

Therefore, for a rank seven, Li Qi's current position is the most noble position in the world that he can imagine and understand.

Therefore, he couldn't help being disrespectful, just standing in front of Li Qi, the seventh rank immediately became respectful.

However, at this time, he saw the Ma Ji he had brought.

Ma Ji has cultivated into a human form, with the appearance of an old man, but at the moment he is a little absent-minded, there is no respect on his face, but a complex expression.

This made the Qipin who brought him suddenly feel angry.

She's just an eighth-rank goblin, how dare she be disrespectful to Zhu Ren in front of her? !

But before his anger could escape, he saw Zhu Ren get up suddenly.

This is rare. In his impression, I wish people will always be immersed in the formation, surrounded by the halo of the formation, never leave, always under the guidance of the formation, commanding thousands of worlds war.

But at this moment, he actually came out from the center of the formation?

This made him unable to help but look at Ma Ji.

At this time, I heard Li Qi say: "Back off, I'll talk to him alone."

Hearing the words, the seventh rank put away the emotions in his heart, then saluted again, and left through Lie Su not far away.

After watching the other party leave, Li Qi looked at the old horse.

As a monster, he has also learned illusion, and can transform himself into a human form, but...but he is very old.

That is, what an old face.

Age spots are all over the face, the hair is not the snow-white of the fairy, but the gray of decay, the back is not bent, after all, he is a practitioner, but the blood has withered, and he can hardly feel the heartbeat.

The most important thing is the dead breath on his body.

The strong death air even formed the 'old man's smell', just getting close to him could feel that he was being caught by death anytime and anywhere, dragging him into hell.

After more than 400 years, the old horse has not been promoted to the seventh rank, and has already entered the end of his life.

Shouyuan is exhausted, qi and blood are withered, unless someone reverses the time, or forcibly infuses vitality with something like Yangshou Pill to prolong his life, otherwise it will be impossible to save his life.

Life and death are the avenues of heaven and earth, and not just the avenues of natural existence.

Naturally existing avenues are extremely vulnerable to modification and influence. For example, travelers outside the territory basically modify the limit of the speed of heaven every day, otherwise they will not be able to go at all.

Using the inner world to influence the outer world is basically a means that everyone has, it's just a matter of level. Witchcraft is of a particularly high level, so high that others can't match it, but it doesn't mean that others can't.

As for the reincarnation of life and death, in addition to being natural, it has also been forged by several Daoist traditions.

Buddhism builds the six realms of reincarnation, Taoism builds the Ten Halls of Yama, shamanism carries the back soil of reincarnation, ghost dao is responsible for the operation of hell, and divine dao heaven stabilizes life and death.

Other orthodoxy, except humanity clearly does not care about reincarnation, shows that he does not participate in the construction of reincarnation, and he will die if he dies. Everything else is more or less mixed with the reincarnation of life and death.

Therefore, life and death are almost irreversible, and life extension can be done, but as long as one does not reach the seventh rank, there is always a limit to one's lifespan.

And after reaching the seventh rank, you will still enter death due to things like death in battle, but there is no life limit.

So, at this moment, the old horse...

His lifespan is approaching, unless he breaks through to the seventh rank, there is no way to save him, even if he prolongs his life, he will only die later.

Judging by his appearance, his lifespan is only three to five months old.

Three to five months...

For a long-lived person like Li Qi, it really is a blink of an eye.

Li Qi opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But after he really spoke, he didn't know what to say.

400 years ago, he sent the old horse out of the region, and told him to work hard to cultivate, and he would never be able to be promoted to the seventh rank by Li Qi's side.

But today, 400 years later, Lao Ma still has not broken through that hurdle.

After all, he is just an ordinary dragon colt with not very good personality and not very talented, but luck is good to meet Li Qi.

But Li Qi could only provide him with food and exercises, and he couldn't help him with anything else.

On the road, you can only walk by yourself. At most others will help you, but if you can't take a step by yourself, no one can save you.

Just like students in school.

If the family is poorer, they can cook by themselves every day, read and study on the bus by themselves, and cannot afford a tutor, so they can only work harder on their own.

Parents are capable. They can prepare a bright study room for you, buy a bunch of top-level reference books, invite excellent teachers, use the best stationery, and don’t care about the family’s food and drink. You just need to concentrate on your studies.

But no matter what the situation is, the premise has to be 'you have learned it. '

If you can't learn it, no matter how powerful your parents are, they can't help you.

Of course, for Datong, they can also brainwash you directly.

But what's the point of that?

After the brainwashing, you still can't say whether you are you or not.

If you can't chase the Tao, but give you longevity, it would be better to kill you.

Practitioners all over the world have seen too many people who forcibly promoted themselves at the expense of their path in order to pursue longevity.

In the end, most of them chose to commit suicide.

The length of life is not the deciding factor.

Clay is not more radiant than gold because of its abundance, nor is life superior because of its greater length.

Chao heard that, Xi can die.

What's the point of living a thousand-year-old bastard if you can't hear the Tao and follow the Tao?
Therefore, Li Qi was only sad and regretful, but he was not going to help the old horse prolong his life.

This is still the case for more than 400 years, and life extension will not help.

Seeing Li Qi hesitate to speak, Lao Ma gave a wry smile, dispelled the illusion on himself, and returned to his original form.

It was still the majestic dragon horse, surrounded by green thunder.

It's just... thinner, shorter, and hunched, and the originally handsome mane has also lost some of it, and it is also mixed with gray.

He strode up to Li Qi's side, and said with a wry smile: "Boss... I'm embarrassing for you."

Li Qi didn't know what to say, he just reached out and stroked the old horse's mane: "It's nothing, everyone has their own way, in the next few months, will you stay with me here? Do you still want to go somewhere?" go?"

"I'll stay here with you." The old horse said, bent down and fell asleep.

"Well, take a good rest." Li Qi said so, got up, returned to the formation, connected to the world group again, and began to deal with those "problems that can only be encountered once in a lifetime".

To be honest, I'm already familiar with the road.

Two months passed quickly like this.

Two months later, Shen Shuibi has almost healed, except for some difficult-to-handle dark wounds and the fact that the new body has not yet fully fit.

This is due to a large number of treasures from heaven, materials and earth. She opened a furnace to make alchemy by herself, and ate a wave of it so hard that she even ate erysipelas.

However, they are all within the controllable range, at least what can be dealt with has been dealt with.

Then, she came to Li Qi immediately.

But I saw that the old horse was resting here.

Seeing Shen Shuibi, the old horse immediately got up and went to meet him.

More than 400 years ago, when he was in Guangyang, the old horse and the rabbit were eating a basket of radishes together. Of course, he remembered the sullen and timid rabbit at that time.

only……

Now that Shen Shuibi, who had recovered his cultivation base, was stunned when he saw the old horse.

However, she also immediately realized the situation of the old horse.

But she didn't say anything.

In fact, Shen Shuibi's understanding of life and death was much deeper than Li Qi's.

She didn't give Lao Ma any special treatment, but talked and laughed with him as always, and gave Lao Ma some pills by the way, so that he could be more energetic and not always sleepy.

Not long after that, the old horse died, and Li Qi buried him on a hill in this dying world.

Looking at the old horse's grave, Li Qi was silent.

The way is your own way, only you can walk, no one can help you.
