People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 266 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

An hour later, Li Qi strolled through the streets of Ming City, with Meng Shiyun leading the way and explaining the origins of various things in the city.

Architecture, customs, culture...

These things are complicated and fragmented, and most people, even those who grew up in this city, would definitely not be able to explain them clearly.

But Meng Shiyun is undoubtedly knowledgeable and has a remarkable memory, and everything has been shattered and integrated with her own views and opinions.

Undoubtedly, she is a very qualified tour guide.

As Li Qi listened, he also gained a spiritual connection, insight into reality, and a sense of harmony with heaven and earth. He also gained a general understanding of the atmosphere of Ming City. At this moment, when he observed the world again, he saw the destiny and fortune, and what he saw was more detailed than when he first arrived.

“Mingcheng is a place where all sorts of people mingle, a place that embraces all things, so it has a constant flow of new ideas and produces many talented people and heroes. On the other hand, the Tiannan region is basically settled, and there is not much room for advancement…”

At this moment, Li Qi had a different realization.

The place he knew best was Tiannan, but even though it was still the same world, changing locations felt like changing the entire world.

This is undoubtedly the result of a combination of various factors.

"In this world's court, there are undoubtedly true talents for governing the country. It is true that local troubles cannot be completely eradicated, after all, this is human nature. But precisely because of this, talented people flock to the center. People themselves are undoubtedly the greatest wealth in this world..."

Li Qi was contemplating the workings of humanity.

Originally, his level was still far from understanding the laws of heaven and man, but he had stacked up his buffs too much and had already touched that level.

Spiritual practice is undoubtedly about using the illusory to cultivate the true; in the later stages, if one cannot understand the laws of heaven and humanity, one will not go far at all.

It's undoubtedly a good thing that he has foreseen these things in advance.

Li Qi even knew that the foundation for becoming a saint was to understand the workings of heaven and man, to comprehend the vicissitudes of human life, and to gather the power of the times and the power of humanity, so as to achieve sainthood in one fell swoop.

This is also why sages are so powerful. Even a true immortal, how can one person suppress the overwhelming force of time?

As for the strongest among the saints, it is said that they carry the rolling tide of humanity with their hearts, condense the spirit of humanity from ancient times to the future, and connect countless eras into one, thus naturally becoming invincible.

The path of cultivation becomes increasingly terrifying and difficult the higher one goes.

It could even be said that if you don't lay a solid foundation, you have no chance of becoming a saint, unless some external force forcibly bestows divine power upon you.

Meanwhile, Meng Shiyun and Li Qi were chatting casually. After learning how capable the other was, even though they were the same person and talking about similar things, she felt a different way.

Undoubtedly, this is what is meant by cognition determining attitude.

Only Li Qi remained unchanged, not taking the various trivial matters that were currently in front of him or had been before to heart.

"This is the Mingzuo, the core of Ming City. It was originally built forty years ago, but the current one was rebuilt ten years ago. It can be considered a landmark building of Ming City. It is said that when the world was not yet settled, Xuanzu fought here, watered his horses here, and left behind the words 'The bright light shines on the earth, and the mountains and rivers are all red'..."

"So later, the Ming City was built here."

At this moment, Meng Shiyun pointed to a huge square and the commercial buildings in the area and said.

In this world, all the core cities today were built later, with the aim of breaking local monopolies, and so far, the results have been quite good.

"Indeed, the light shines brightly, creating a unique atmosphere."

Li Qi responded by carefully examining the object.

It is said that one should read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. Although he had only briefly left Tiannan, what he had seen and heard in the past half day had indeed given him a sense of enlightenment. However, Li Qi also knew that what was most important to him now was to hone his martial arts skills, rather than traveling all over the world. Focusing wholeheartedly on doing one thing well was the most important thing.

As they were talking, Li Qi had a sudden thought and felt something. He immediately strode forward, made a few turns, entered the alley, and then darted through the alley to reach a main road.

Just then, he stepped onto the main road and saw a woman in a black business suit walking hurriedly ahead of him.

"Sister Mu Tong, it's been a long time!"

When Li Qi greeted her, the woman turned around immediately upon hearing his voice. Her beautiful eyes scrutinized Li Qi, but the more she looked, the more puzzled she became, unable to find any connection to him in her memory.

"It's me, Li Qi. When we were kids, you were always the one who took us out to play during summer vacation."

Li Qi smiled and said, not wanting to keep anyone in suspense.

The woman in front of him was named Yan Mutong, who was six years older than Li Qi. Li Qi's family had a habit of going back to his maternal grandmother's house during the summer vacation, and each time they would spend almost half of the summer vacation there.

The Yan family has many children and is a large clan several times larger than the Li family. When they were very young, it was the woman in front of them who led them and their group of children to play.

However, that was six or seven years ago. About five years ago, Yan Mutong was admitted to a prestigious overseas university and lost contact with him. Li Qi suddenly realized that there was a cause-and-effect connection, which led to this meeting.

Otherwise, in the vast sea of ​​people, even if you are only separated by a street, you may not be able to meet them.

After all, many people live in the same neighborhood as another person, yet they might not bump into each other even once in decades.

"you……"

"You're Li Qi?!"

"Xiao Qi, you've changed so much!"

At this moment, Yan Mutong also saw a bit of Li Qi's former shadow. Her expression suddenly changed from blank to a bright smile, and a strong feeling of surprise arose at this moment.

After all, one of the greatest joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

She truly never expected to run into Li Qi in Mingcheng.

After all, although she used to play with Li Qi and a group of children, she really didn't know where their hometowns were.

"I never imagined that you would grow up to be so handsome, Xiao Qi!"

"By the way, is this girl your girlfriend?!"

As she spoke, Yan Mutong turned her gaze to Meng Shiyun, who had followed her.

This was naturally a misunderstanding, but when Meng Shiyun heard it, she not only didn't find it annoying, but also felt a strange sense of joy.

However, she wasn't one to make things mysterious, and immediately replied, "My father and Li Qi's elders are old friends. Li Qi has come from afar, so I'll act as his tour guide."

“It’s actually like this!”

Yan Mutong nodded. Although she was a little curious as to why Li Qi had come here at this obvious time when class was in session, she didn't ask any further questions.

After that, Yan Mutong took Li Qi and the other person to a coffee shop on the ninth floor of Mingzuo, intending to treat them to a meal.
