Founding the country in Baiyue?
Li Qi immediately realized the other party's purpose.
As mentioned before, the symbolic meaning of many things is powerful. For example... the Dalu Kingdom was the former Daluze, and was the place where the Ancient Holy Emperor had his Zen throne. Although the Ancient Holy Emperor was only at the fifth level at that time, But this symbolic meaning itself is enough to attract competition between humans and witches.
Just like being an official. If you become an official, will this change your power in any way?
The answer is that ordinary people are still ordinary people after becoming officials, but just a 'name' is enough to suppress other people, or even make other people voluntarily do things for you.
Correspondingly, there is a big difference between inserting a nail in Baiyue and directly establishing a country.
This is giving the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord the power to 'build a country'.
Quan means baht, liang, catty, jun, and stone. Therefore, when weighing things flatly, one can know the weight. Quanheng is also the weight, and it can be used to weigh the weight. Degree, also known as zhangchi, can measure the length and length. Everything can be known by weighing it.
If there are things and things, grasp them, and then you will know the importance; measure, and then you will know the length.
There is a saying: "The Nine Hexagrams of Yi are finally implemented by Sunda. Power is the great use of saints. If you fail to establish your power, you will still be unable to establish it and want to practice it. It is rare that you will not be a servant."
The so-called 'power' actually refers to the ability to make decisions and measures, so that's what it means to say that someone 'holds great power'.
At this moment, the power to build a country is the ability to make rulings in Baiyue.
This can be regarded as letting Wushen Mountain cede territory.
"The lion opens his mouth, Demon Lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate?" Li Qi immediately responded.
"Isn't it appropriate? Yes, after all, Wushen Mountain may not necessarily fulfill its promise. Then I wonder if they will be willing to do so after Humanity annexes Baiyue?" Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven said calmly, his expression completely covered by the flashing face. , His expression and mood can hardly be seen.
"Demon Lord, you may not always win if you place a bet. If you place a bet and the bet leaves your hand, if you lose then, you won't even be able to keep what you have now." Li Qi said.
The tone of Demon Lord Swallowing Sky had some fluctuations: "Oh? Young Master means that even if I vote for humanity, you can still win, right?"
"The demon lord is really very courageous. Don't you be afraid that I will kill you now, so that both humans and witches will not have you as a variable." Li Qi said in a gentle tone.
The Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven showed no fear at all, but continued: "But you need variables, don't you? The total amount of strength invested by human witches is almost the same, and every variable is precious to you, and it may be a pressure. The final straw."
"Young Master must be very clear about the current situation. Whether it is human or witchcraft, they all have the ability to completely destroy the Baiyue Zone. Even if Young Master takes action, give Young Master a quarter of an hour to move the entire Baiyue from the ground to the ground for a hundred thousand miles." It’s very easy to refine everything into projectiles.”
"However, if you do this, it will be equivalent to losing, because you will not be able to get the Holy Emperor's relics. It will be equivalent to destroying the treasure and wasting a lot of combat power."
"So, you need to prevent the other party from doing this, and at the same time restrain yourself from doing so. As long as the situation is not irreversible, then losing-lose is an unwise choice." The Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord said eloquently: "In this case Next, any neutral force will accelerate this process. First of all, the strength of the Sky-Swallowing Demon Realm is not strong, and it has not reached the point where entering will force Humanity to overturn the table. You can safely accept us without worrying about Humanity giving up directly. Fight, but at the same time, my presence can provide enough help."
"Looking at Baiyue now, there is a suitable force like the Sky-Devouring Demon Realm, but it is difficult to find it even with a lantern. Isn't it worth paying some price?"
Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven said this while also looking at Li Qi's appearance.
Li Qi still looked calm, smiling and calm.
It's normal to be calm and composed. Even if you're at the fourth level, no matter how thoughtful you are, it's enough. Maybe some fourth-level people will have clear moods and anger, and do everything in a big way, but that's just because the other person's character and path don't bother to hide their emotions. That's it, it doesn't mean they can't restrain themselves.
After watching for a while, he couldn't see anything, so he continued: "Young master, please know that the human heart is like flowing water, with grass and trees in it. They flow separately without looking at each other. The former does not care about the back, and the latter does not care about the front. The grass and trees flow in the same direction. Each one is the same as before, and so is the human heart, one thought comes and one goes, just like grass and trees without looking at each other."
"It's just that the grass and trees eventually have a flow direction, and this flow direction is the 'general trend'."
"As for where the general trend will go, it actually depends on the air current floating on the surface. Now, under the general trend balance, you need me as a straw to lay a chance for the young master to win, don't you? After all, my participation is not just for dozens of people. It’s just a fifth-level combat power, this is the movement of the Great Sage Wanchi and the Great Sage Yishan, isn’t it?”
At this time, Li Qi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and said: "The Taoist has made the people agree with the superior, so he can die with him, and he can live with him without fear of danger. With Tao as his guide, how can he worry about the human heart?" What about this kind of thing? How many people can help? It only depends on whether it is consistent with the Tao, rather than following the flow of people's support."
The Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven immediately responded: "For us and other nine places in the world, it is naturally like this. The Tao is like bones and muscles. If grass has bones, it will not be blown by the wind, the rain will not fall down, and the world will flow without moving. But this How many of the billions of creatures in the world have muscles and bones? Does that mean they have no power and cannot achieve great things?"
"Of all the creatures in this world, in the final analysis, most of them are just bigger, smarter, bugs of different shapes."
"Insects are poking and hopping around, and unscrupulous people are also poking and hopping around. If crying is useless, they will stop crying. If crying is useful, they will continue to cry. If practicing is useless, they will stop practicing, because The benefits of practice give you the motivation to practice. These creatures will constantly adjust their attitudes based on feedback, and decide what to do in their lives based on the simplest things like 'good to eat' and 'unpalatable'."
"For these people, the general trend is the only credible 'Tao', and now, sir, let's see, in the entire Baiyue, how many people can be led by Tao?" The Sky-Swallowing Demon advocated opening his hands, surrounding him The accretion disk naturally expands, moves out, and then spreads out.
As a monster who has been cultivating the Baiyue area for tens of thousands of years, he knows very well that among so many people in Baiyue, even the leaders of the Baiyue Kingdom have no "Tao" to speak of. They are just large paramecia.
This is often the case for unethical people and an unethical world.
If you can't find your own way, you will naturally drift with the tide, with your heart like grass and trees. The former does not care about the future, and the latter does not care about the front. At that time, the arrival of the Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord will naturally guide people's hearts and increase Li Qi's winning rate.
Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven thought a lot, and finally got this result.
As long as this point is grasped, Li Qi will still compromise in the end. The nation-building power obtained from Wu Shenshan will be enough to verify Yao Dao's plan...
The Great Sage Yishan has been planning this for a long time.
However, at this time, Li Qi suddenly said: "If that's the case, then Demon Lord, please come back. The power to create a country is not trivial. I can't decide it with just one word. Demon Lord can ask humanity how to choose."
This answer made Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven stunned.
"Young master, are you sure?" Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven asked, saying that he was asking Li Qi if he was sure, but his own tone became uncertain.
Does Li Qi still have a trump card? Where do you get the confidence to say this?
Li Qi smiled and replied: "Of course what the Demon Lord said makes sense. If the situation remains unchanged, it will be the same as what the Demon Lord said, and there will be no flaws."
"As long as you don't treat people as human beings, nothing will change. The rise and fall of Baiyue through the ages, all kinds of tragedies, leading beasts to eat people, and chaos in all directions, are nothing more than the word 'innocent'."
Having said this, Li Qi stood up and walked forward, walking in the air, and approached the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven: "So, if they are ignorant, I will give it to them. I will spread the people's wisdom in Baiyue, build academies, and spread the light." The Dharma door allows them to break away from the world and start to think about their own way. In this way, they can lead it and achieve what I said before. Rather than being afraid of danger. "
"What does the Demon Lord think of such a decision?" Li Qi asked: "So, should the Demon Lord seek refuge in humanity, or should he stay here?"
Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven's eyes flickered, he straightened up, and looked at Li Qi carefully up and down without any regard for etiquette.
This young master from Wushen Mountain is very courageous.
Because Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven knows that this is actually a humane approach.
However, although this is a humane approach, Humanity will definitely not do this. Even if he goes to Humanity, Humanity will definitely not be able to educate Baiyue.
From the perspective of humanity, Baiyue is the enemy, and there is no need to show mercy to the enemy. From the perspective of humanity, if he wins, Baiyue will definitely be the spoils of war, and it doesn't matter if he gives some to Yao Dao, so he can basically It is certain that the human side will definitely agree to it, and the power to build the country that the two great sages want will be at their fingertips.
On one side is Li Qi's rejection, on the other side is humanity's almost inevitable agreement.
From a profit perspective, there is no doubt that we should turn around and go to the humanitarian side.
only--
I just said something.
If you can't find your own way, you will naturally drift with the crowd, with your heart like grass and trees. The former does not care about the future, and the latter does not care about the front. Like a paramecium, they decide what they want in life based on the simplest "tastes" and "untastes". How to do it.
However, if you find your own way, you will naturally have muscles and bones, know where to go, and where to go. At this time, interests are not the only consideration. In fact...interests are the most likely to be given up. , the most insignificant.
So, the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven burst out laughing, and then asked, "Sir, are you so sure that I will agree?"
"If you agree, that's for the best. If you don't agree, then it's natural that you have different ideas and don't want to work together." Li Qi said very plainly.
Because humanity does not treat people as human beings, but the demon clan greatly appreciates Li Qi's attitude. The demon clan and the witchcraft have a consensus, that is: "all things have animism."
In the eyes of demons and witches, although all things are different due to abilities, they are all fundamentally equal.
But humanity does not recognize this.
To humanity, the people of Baiyue are no different from pigs and dogs. Regarding this, Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven is actually quite unhappy. Although he may not be a good and merciful monster, no matter whether it is good or bad, in the final analysis, he is still Treat other living things as the same kind.
But humanity is far more cruel than this. Humanity doesn't take living things other than humans seriously at all, and treats them completely as some kind of resources or tools.
And Li Qi's idea of preparing to 'preach' is obviously much better than humanity.
Even if we lose money, even if our profits cannot be maximized, if we can get along, what does it matter?
The Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven raised his hands and said, "That's fine. As long as you promise me that you will build a school and allow me to join you when you preach. Then even if you don't need the power to build the country, the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven can still dedicate it to you." force."
"Okay, then it's settled." Li Qi nodded, and while speaking, he finally walked up to the Sky-Devouring Demon Lord and stretched out his hand to him.
Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven hesitated for a moment, and then held Li Qi's hand.
The two shook hands and swore an oath. After that, the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven turned and left, turning into a stream of light to prepare for battle.
After all, he has to face humanity. Although he said it with all his heart, it would be quite stressful to actually do it.
After Li Qi watched the other party leave, he looked at Shen Shuibi.
"The Sky-Swallowing Demon Lord is indeed very generous and courageous. He actually dares to stand by your side in this situation." Rabbit said.
"He doesn't have such a big heart, and the Great Sage Wanchi and the Great Sage Yishan don't think so highly of him. To be given important power by the two great sages, he must not be a mercenary person. To convince them, they cannot rely on exchange of interests, but To get closer on the road, the witch path has a natural advantage in this regard, after all... the two witch paths themselves have united before." Li Qi said this.
"However, interests are also indispensable. After all, the other party is not a comrade. If it is really a matter of life and death, it is impossible to die for the witchcraft. These also need to be calculated in advance." Shen Shuibi reminded.
"Of course I don't have to." Li Qi nodded: "Then, Yu'er, I'll trouble you to supervise the work. The leader of Baiyue Kingdom is impetuous. Although their thoughts are suppressed now that the Humanity army is approaching, it is definitely impossible for Humanity to attack directly. , so they are likely to have second thoughts while doing it, so you still need to keep an eye on them."
"Okay, leave it to me." Shen Shuibi did not refuse, nodded and left.
As for Li Qi, he stayed where he was.
He needs to think through the entire strategy.
And...he is also planning to personally meet the fighting forces on the human side.
Just like when he went to find Liu Junyi, he went to see who his enemy was in advance. Even if he might expose himself, he could still see the other party clearly.
Because, Li Qi's own heel must be completely exposed to humanity. He is relatively famous and many of his methods have been leaked. He is not afraid of leaking, but he can see through the opponent just by looking at him and knowing the rhyme.
Moreover, even if he knew this, humanity would never refuse to meet.
This is human nature, whether it is a tyrant or a king, this is how they are.
