Myriad Paths

In the sky in the wild land of Lingxiao Kingdom, under the strong wind layer, Li Qi was talking about something with the leader of Lingxiao Kingdom.

This is also the purpose of coming here.

Li Qi wanted to ask the Lord Lingxiao about Buddhism.

If he had time, he would like to visit the West.

Among the people he knew, the one who had the greatest connection with Buddhism was naturally Lord Lingxiao, who had grown up on the wall of the White Horse Temple when he was young.

Oh, no, that's not very strict. Among the people he knew, the one who had the greatest relationship with Xitian was probably Tianmo.

After all, he is the old enemy of the Buddha. When the Buddha became enlightened in the past, the demon personally stopped him and used three methods to destroy the Buddha's Taoist heart. These three methods were desire, violence, and the last one, which is still practiced now, Li Dai Tao Jian.

The first two methods failed. The Buddha resisted the chaos of the entire desire world, proved that he had no evil thoughts in his heart, and used his supernatural powers to fight against the demon and all his demonic armies. As a result, the Buddha became enlightened, and the demon did not stop him.

But the last method is still in effect today.

The devil will mix the demonic way into the Buddhist way, let the devil's descendants wear cassocks, and enter the monks' treasures in a grand manner. Wearing the cassocks, they will misinterpret the Buddhist scriptures, distort the Buddhist way, and finally make the Buddha and the devil merge into one.

Therefore, it is said: "The devil Bo Xun also behaves like this. He becomes a bhikkhu, a monk, a nun, an Upasaka and an Upasika. He also transforms into a sotapanna body, and even into an Arahant body and a Buddha body. The devil uses this form of leakage. If you create a body without leakage, destroy the Buddha's dharma, and destroy the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, in the future world, the demon will transform into a recluse and enter the Sangha, causing many sentient beings to enter into wrong views and speak wrong Dharma."

The demons make images of bhikshus, nuns, upasakas, and upasikas, and they also transform into sotapanna bodies, and even into arhat bodies and buddha-rupa bodies.

Bhikshus and nuns are ordinary monks.

Upasaka Upasikas are followers of Buddhism.

Sotapanna is the fruition stage of Buddhism and the precursor to the Arhat stage. Many monks are in this position.

The body of an Arhat is naturally easy to understand. From Sotapanna to becoming an Arhat, one can achieve Arhat status.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the Buddha’s body, that is, he has become a Buddha.

The demon will transform into the lowest level of believers, ordinary monks, practitioners, and even the enlightened Buddha. They may all be transformed by the demon.

It directly told the Buddha its purpose, then laughed and led everyone away.

Therefore, strictly speaking, demons and Buddhism are the closest, because after so many years of mixing, they can even be said to be one.

For example, the lineage of Zen Zhi monks...

However, when Li Qi went to Xitian, he originally wanted to find the secrets and... all the ways to restrain the devil, so the Lord of Lingxiao knew better.

After hearing Li Qi's question, Lord Lingxiao was slightly startled, then put his hand to cover his lips and chuckled softly: "Asking about Xitian, what are you planning to do?"

Li Qi saw her performance and suddenly understood.

This is also a sensitive topic for the Lord of Lingxiao, and he cannot tell others casually. Li Qi had better make everything clear, otherwise, the Lord of Lingxiao may not say it.

So, Li Qi said: "Last time, I was infiltrated by the demonic blood of the Five Aggregates and had some involvement with the demonic way. So I want to go to the west to find a way to suppress the demonic way. I also ask the king for some advice."

"Oh, so that's it. If I hide my secret, I'm afraid the young master will hate me to death. Then please come here and I'll tell you in detail. I just hope you remember one thing." Lord Lingxiao said.

"What's the matter?" Li Qi knew that the other party was making conditions, so he readily agreed.

"As for the clan members, I would like to ask you to give me a few good words. Lingxiao Kingdom has encountered a great disaster for the first time, and the national destiny has been jeopardized. Recently, I have also been considering grabbing more worlds from outside the territory to subsidize it. However, after all, I am only a fifth-grade person. I am a clone. I have no skills. If the clan has other arrangements, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue. If the young master just wants to say hello..." The Lord of Lingxiao said this and looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled and said: "The sect is strict and there is no need to think about such things as going through the back door. Although Wu Shenshan is not as strict as the human world, it still has its own set of rules, otherwise it will be chaos, but... if If the king just needs resources, I have another way."

"Another method?" Lord Ling Xiao blinked his eyes, and then said: "Master, please speak frankly, Ling Xiao is all ears."

"I also have some industries outside the territory. I am preparing to expand recently. My wife is still preparing the corresponding formation. This is the formation obtained from the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven. If the king is in urgent need of funds recently, you might as well give it a try. ." Li Qi said.

When the Lord of Lingxiao heard this, he chuckled: "If the young master has this intention, then it is naturally good. It is also a good thing to join it. I believe that the young master is capable and will not suffer losses. So it is settled, but , I still have a suggestion to make to the young master.”

"Oh? There are no outsiders here, but it doesn't matter." Li Qi nodded and said.

Hearing this, Lord Lingxiao looked at Shen Shuibi, and then looked at the old horse below who was pretending to be dead.

No outsiders...

Um……

Fine.

Lord Lingxiao continued: "My suggestion is that if you want to develop outside the territory, with the young master's identity and current strength, you might as well join the Demon Lord Swallowing Heaven among them. The demon Lord has also been outside the territory recently. I heard that he and Young Master There is some misunderstanding, but now we all have the same direction, why not join forces? "

"If our respective leaders join forces, our power will surely increase greatly, and we will be able to reach more world groups. However, in the past, we had different identities, and being too arrogant would easily cause trouble. Now that you have the support, we can reach out to more places. In this way, within a hundred years at most, the territory we can control will probably exceed 100,000 worlds, and even if there are worlds that have reached the sixth level, there will be at least seven or eight. What do you think, young master?"

Using Li Qi's identity to endorse, and then the leaders of the countries work, and everyone shares the profits, anyway, there is no need to worry about any trouble, it is indeed a good idea.

But Li Qi shook his head: "No, I don't trust Tuntian, nor do I trust other kings. Expanding the world is for resources, but we can't lose our original intentions. Their methods are too cruel, and I don't like the way of refining the world. No, I am not prepared to refine the way of heaven in any world. I just want to get what we need." "If the king can accept it, then I think we can cooperate happily, because I know that the king was born in a temple and should have charity in his heart. He will not be as cruel as Tuntian. I can trust the king to cooperate with him, but I am very reluctant to cooperate with Tuntian. You and I both know that no one in Baiyue can control him." After Li Qi finished speaking, he looked at the king of Lingxiao and waited for the other party's answer. "So you don't trust Tuntian, then I am really lucky to win your heart. If that's the case, then it doesn't matter. I agree. Please send me a letter when you want to take action. I will tell you everything you want to know." Lingxiao King nodded, and the deal was concluded.

It seems that she and Li Qi have to rely on transactions to do things, and there has never been any human relations. Perhaps this is also due to Lingxiao King's personality.

Next, it was a long-distance communication. Lingxiao King was determined not to get close to Li Qi. He just talked across the air, talking about some precautions for going to Xitian and Lingxiao King's own connections.

These are all very important, especially connections. If you go to a new place to do things, if you are not going to travel, then if you really want to do something, the help of some locals is absolutely very important.

Including taboos in various places, intertwined forces, etc., Li Qi doesn't think Xitian is a good place.

Monk Chanzhi had already reminded him, and with his understanding of the demons, the West Heaven might be a huge demon nest.

It would be difficult to go there without preparation.

The conversation lasted for ten hours in total.

In ten hours, Li Qi got a lot of information about the West Heaven, which was enough.

So, after bidding farewell to the Lingxiao Flower God, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi set off again.

This time they didn't plan to delay on the road, and drifted all the way to Liexiu.

After starting Liexiu, it was almost a blink of an eye and they returned to the door of their cave.

It was really convenient.

Taking a deep breath, the rich spiritual energy was refreshing. Compared with any other place in the world, Wushen Mountain was considered to have a good environment. After all, it was a place where stones could become spirits.

Lao Ma shrank his body and ran away. He was probably bored and went to have fun. He was always lively and active, and this trip really bored him.

Although he should feel that he did not lose out, after all, he saw the battle between the Demon Prince and the Little Heavenly Master with his own eyes. This is not something that can be seen casually, and the boredom of the journey is just the ticket.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi looked down the mountain, and everything was so peaceful and harmonious.

The village lives as usual. The people there are not as colorful as the lives of the Tang people, but they also have their own fun.

Li Qi also saw a young man, who was an eighth-grade cultivator. He had packed his luggage and was saying goodbye to the villagers.

A passionate young man was unwilling to spend the rest of his life in this village, so after practicing his skills, he was ready to go out and try his luck.

Wushen Mountain has almost absolute freedom under its rule, so there are so-called "big cities", but they are relatively few, but there are more people from the outside world, similar to those Dongyu in the East China Sea, which undertakes the function of connecting and communicating with the outside world. There, like Dongyu, you can see people from all walks of life and all kinds of paths.

This young man must also go to that kind of big city, and maybe he will go to a farther place.

Well...

After seeing so much and understanding so many ways, I am a witch after all.

Thinking of this, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi walked into the cave and closed the door of the cave.

Next, let's do what we should do.

——————————

In this way, time passed.

In a blink of an eye, seventy years passed.

These seventy years were the most peaceful period in Li Qi's life.

For a whole seventy years, he did almost nothing and used his whole body and mind to calm himself down.

What he did every day was to study, practice, and occasionally have fun.

In the beginning, he still had a lot of ideas, either lazy or something else, thinking about going out to do something.

In short, he was impetuous, thinking about good things and bad things.

However, he suppressed it with self-control, insisting on sweeping the library in Wushen Mountain every day, reading, studying, improving his knowledge, and learning magic day after day.

In these seventy years, the first ten years

As a young master, almost all books and materials were open to him, except those that were dangerous.

However, the books in Wushen Mountain are truly vast.

It can't be described as vast. Anyway, even if Li Qi had Zhen Yun to endorse it for him, he read it eagerly for ten years, but found that he hadn't even finished reading a drop of water in the ocean.

Too much, too much.

Wushen Mountain does not require all kinds of books. The books that can be included in the library are all very powerful books. They record techniques, principles, analysis of Tao, prescriptions, notes, local anecdotes, astronomy and geography, etc. Knowledge from countless disciplines is piled up there for anyone to use.

The knowledge contained in these books would require a person to spend a lifetime researching and summarizing it before writing it. Even an immortal would probably need to devote himself to it for many, many years to write a book.

However, there were so many books of this level that Li Qi was numb.

From the side, how many people are there in Wushen Mountain?

Li Qi also saw a lot of compiled questions and the solutions were very interesting. These things must be the 'tickets' for the overnight stay.

To use Liesu, if you need to help Liesu solve a problem, it will be used as a ticket.

The wisdom of countless people in the heavens is just here for Li Qi to absorb.

For a bookworm like Li Qi, of course he would not let it go. It was these books that helped him suppress his random thoughts.

After reading like this for ten years, the restlessness in his heart has completely disappeared. He has realized how much he knows and how little he actually knows.

It is important for people to have self-awareness. Obviously, Li Qi already had it. After ten years of precipitation, he became calm and no longer so impetuous.

Of course, Shen Shuibi also played a big role in this. During these ten years of getting along, Tutu taught Li Qi how to deal with long periods of time and how to persevere in doing something instead of getting irritated after a few years. Want to give up.

Adapting to a long life is something that needs to be learned, not something that can be done casually.

If a person directly obtains immortality without adapting and learning, he will probably be tortured by the endless life to the point of giving up thinking.

After all, people need to have goals in life. Life without goals is like a game without any goals, which is extremely boring.

After the first ten years passed, Li Qi's heart calmed down.

In the second decade, Shen Shuibi found out she was pregnant.
