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 Tian Mo.
After all, he is the Buddha's old enemy. 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 Daitaojiang.
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. By creating an impeccable body, destroying the Buddha's true Dharma, and destroying the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, in the next world, demons will transform into ascetics and enter the Sangha to speak all kinds of heresy. They will cause many sentient beings to fall 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 the bodies of arhats and buddhas.
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 immediately 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 tainted by the demonic blood of the Five Aggregates and had some involvement with the demonic path, so I want to go to the West to find a way to suppress the demonic path, and I would like to ask the Lord 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, 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 its 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 clan members are very strict and don't even think about going through the back door.
Although Wushen Mountain is not as strict as Humanity, it still has its own set of rules, otherwise everything will be chaotic. However... if the king just needs resources, I have another method. "
"Another way?" Lord Ling Xiao blinked, and then said, "Master, please speak out. 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 Kingdom heard this, he chuckled: "If the young master has this intention, then it is naturally good, and joining it is naturally a good thing. I believe that the young master is capable and will not suffer losses, so it is settled like this, 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?"
"When our respective kings join forces, our power will inevitably increase, and we will be able to reach more world groups. However, in the past, we had different identities. It was easy to get into trouble if we were too arrogant. Now that we have the endorsement of the young master, there are more places where we can reach out. So As a result, within a hundred years at most, the territory we can control will probably exceed 100,000 worlds, among which there will be at least seven or eight worlds that reach the sixth level. What do you think, Master?"
It is indeed a good idea to endorse Li Qi's identity, and then the kings of the country work part-time, and everyone shares the profits. Anyway, there is no fear of causing trouble.
But Li Qi shook his head: "No, I can't trust Tuntian, nor can I trust other kings. Of course, the purpose of expanding the world is for material resources, but we can't lose our original intention because of this. Their methods are too cruel, and the power of refining the world I don’t like the method either, no, I have no intention of refining the way of heaven in any world, I just want to get what everyone needs.”
"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 be charitable in his heart. He will not be as cruel as Tun Tian. I can trust the king to cooperate with him. But he is extremely 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 Lord Lingxiao, waiting for his answer.
"It turns out that the young master cannot trust Tun Tian. I am really lucky to win the young master's heart. In this case, it doesn't matter. I agreed. I also asked the young master to send me a letter when he wants to take action. But, whatever the young master wants to know, I will definitely tell you everything." The Lord of Lingxiao nodded, and the deal was concluded.
It seemed that she and Li Qi had to rely on transactions to do things, and there was never any talk of personal relationships. Perhaps this was due to the personality of the Lord of Lingxiao.
Next, there was a conversation across a distance. The Lord of Lingxiao refused to get close to Li Qi. He just talked from a distance, talking about some precautions for going to the West, as well as the Lord of Lingxiao's own connections.
These are very important, especially connections. When you go to a new place to do business, if you are not traveling, but you really want to do something, the help of some local people is definitely very important.
Including taboos in various places, intertwined forces, etc., Li Qi didn't think Xitian would be a good place.
Monk Zenzhi had already warned him. Coupled with his understanding of the demon, Xitian might be a huge demon nest.
It’s really hard to go if you’re not prepared.
This conversation lasted ten hours in total.
In ten hours, Li Qi got a lot of information about Xitian, which was enough.
So, bidding farewell to Lingxiao Flower God, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi set off again.
This time I didn’t plan to delay on the road, and wandered all the way to Liesu.
Start the list,
Almost in a blink of an eye, he was back at the door of his cave.
How convenient.
Taking a deep breath, the rich spiritual energy is refreshing. Compared with any place in the world, Wushen Mountain has a better environment. After all, it is a place where stones can become spirits.
The old horse shrunk his body and ran away in a flash. He was probably bored and looking for fun. He has always been lively and active, but this trip was really boring for him.
Although he should feel that it was not a loss, after all, he saw the Demon Prince fighting against the Little Heavenly Master with his own eyes. This is not something that can be seen casually. The boredom of being on the road is just the ticket.
Li Qi and Shen Shuibi glanced down the mountain. Everything was so peaceful and peaceful.
The village lives as always. The people in it are not as colorful as the people in Tang Dynasty, but they still have their own fun.
Li Qi also saw a young man with an eighth-level cultivation who had already 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 he had mastered his skills, he was ready to venture outside.
There is almost absolute freedom under the rule of Wushen Mountain, so there are also so-called "big cities", but they are relatively few, but there are more people from the outside world there, similar to those Dongyu Islands in the East China Sea, which are responsible for connecting and communicating with the outside world. , where, like Dongyu, you can see people from all walks of life and all walks of life.
This young man must also be going to a big city like that, maybe even farther away.
Um……
After seeing so much and understanding so many paths, I am still a wizard after all.
Thinking of this, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi walked into the cave and closed the door of the cave.
Next, do whatever you have to do.
——————————
In this way, time passes.
In the blink of an eye, seventy years have passed.
These seventy years were the most peaceful period in Li Qi's life.
For seventy years, he did almost nothing and devoted himself to cultivating himself.
What he does every day is study, practice, and occasional entertainment.
In the early days, he still had many thoughts, either laziness or something else, thinking about going out and doing something.
In short, my mind is impetuous, thinking about good things and bad things.
However, he used his self-control to suppress it and insisted on going to the library in Wushen Mountain every day to clean up, read and study day after day, increase his knowledge and learn skills.
Among these seventy years, the first decade
As a young master, almost all books and information are open to him, except those that are dangerous.
However, Wu Shenshan’s books are really 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.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
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 accumulation, 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.
