If a native, and a very ordinary native at that, can think of things that Li Shiwei can't think of, then why does Li Shiwei look down on the light of collective wisdom of civilization?
Therefore, in the eighteenth year of being a self-proclaimed hero, Li Shiwei finally realized what a "normal mind" means.
The so-called normal mind means not being humble when encountering others, and not being overbearing when encountering difficulties.
Do not blindly worship those who are stronger than yourself, nor blindly despise those who are weaker than yourself.
The key point is 'blindness'.
Strength and weakness are actually very stupid classifications. If one is judged simply by killing power, the number one sect in the world should be martial arts. After all, martial arts are famous for being invincible at the same level.
A top martial artist from an orthodox martial arts background, his fists are as strong as the sun. When he punches out, he will destroy all methods, and he will most likely be invincible at the same level.
Humanity is already at the top of his combat power. He holds an official position of the same level and has his own cultivation level. He is a double-level person who is hard to find in the world. However, after being approached by warriors of the same level, he can still only hope to "escape intact" .
But martial arts can always only be a second-rate Taoist tradition. The reason is that fighting and killing are not the Taoist tradition's highest pursuit. Although combat power is the foundation of a foothold, fighting is not what Taoism requires.
Killing power and combat power are to help you follow the path, and they are a great help, but they are only means, not ends.
Li Shiwei got this wrong.
She looked down upon this world. It was just a seventh-level world. Even those so-called seventh-level experts could not defeat Li Shiwei even if they came one or two.
Of course Li Shiwei is no match on her own, but the stack of talismans in her pocket are not just for nothing. They are made by Shen Shui Bi Hua, and even a seventh-grade talisman would be fatal if hit twice.
Therefore, Li Shiwei felt that this world was nothing. Anyway, as long as she was not surrounded and killed, she could kill him.
But after being knocked on the head by Lu De and reminded by the stone, she realized what the commonality she was looking for was.
The commonality is actually the manifestation of the Great Way in many civilizations.
So, this is what it looks like now.
Two years passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past two years, she has traveled to various places, traveled to various countries, and searched for the subtle commonalities and the existence of 'Tao' among the customs, customs and folk traditions.
Shitou, on the other hand, continued to stay with Lu De. He quite liked this kid. In the past two years, Lu De used Shitou's knowledge and his own efforts to become the youngest high-level mentor in history. , attracted the attention of the entire country.
Everything seems to be on track.
One day two years later, Li Shiwei waved goodbye to some farmers and smiled softly to thank them for the fruit wine.
This is a very interesting custom. They would use girls' feet to stomp local fruits, and then use the broken pieces to make wine. Li Shiwei was invited to participate in local activities, and after stomping on them, she received some fruit wine as a reward.
Then, she took the fruit wine, washed her feet and put on her shoes, said goodbye to the enthusiastic villagers, and prepared to embark on her journey again.
However, this time he didn't go far when he saw a villager carrying an ordinary iron sword walking towards him.
The corners of Li Shiwei's eyes twitched.
Then, she acted as if she hadn't seen him and walked over as if nothing had happened.
However, when we passed each other, the villager smiled and said, "The wine at Duolunda Winery is quite good. Can you buy me a drink?"
"Okay, wine is something that must be shared to be delicious." Li Shiwei was not stingy either. She took out the fruit wine she just got from her pocket and placed it on a tree stump by the roadside.
Then, she made a seal with her hands, and the soil on the ground flew out and was shaped into a cup by an invisible force. Then Li Shiwei took a breath, opened her mouth, and spurted out a mouthful of real fire from her chest.
As the daughter of Shen Shuibi and a Taoist monk, she is of course also good at Taoist traditional skills, such as alchemy, and the real fire required for alchemy is naturally not lacking.
The real fire burned and the soil melted quickly. It was not something like burning glaze, but it directly reached the melting point and turned into glass.
Then, she used the water trick to spurt out some spiritual springs. Under the quenching of water and fire, the originally ordinary soil instantly turned into a set of crystal clear and exquisite wine glasses.
If you are a person in the world, you will be able to see the magic of her hand. This is the two methods of water and fire of the Taoist sect.
Li Shiwei can use the water method, fire method, thunder method, Taoist special skills with style.
Of course, the villager didn't have this knowledge, but he instinctively noticed the extraordinary nature of this hand, so he said: "Isn't it a waste to use this method to make cups?"
Li Shiwei placed the cup on the tree stump and began to pour the wine. While pouring, she said: "The means are for use, as long as they can be used, why should there be any distinction between high and low? Compared with killing people and making cups, I think It’s better to make cups.”
This is true. These two years of travel have made Li Shiwei understand and appreciate the importance of a normal mind.
"Such words...sound quite peaceful. They don't sound like words from someone who invaded the world at all." The villager picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere became much more depressing.
The wind blew past the two of them, and the temperature of the air seemed to drop by two degrees, causing the birds around them to shrink.
"This is not an invasion, and I am not planning to invade." Li Shiwei said with a smile, then stretched out her hand, and saw that the surroundings began to warm up.
"It can be seen that you are not hostile, but the countries are about to start a war because of your invasion." The villager said.
This is true.
In the past two years or so, due to the technology of the Triangular Eye, relations between countries have rapidly deteriorated, and the 'beasts' have also launched a large number of attacks. The situation in the entire world has become confusing, conflicts have become more and more serious, and even war seems to be On the verge of breaking out, the new technology brought by Li Shiwei still has a huge impact on the original society.
Such drastic technological changes will inevitably give rise to brand-new social contradictions, and these social contradictions are unlikely to be resolved peacefully, and will ultimately involve the intertwining of iron and fire.
Li Shiwei shook her head and said, "That is your business. I have never provoked a war."
But the villager asked: "Does it really have nothing to do with you? Those technologies were brought by you, right? The triangular eye must also be a lie concocted by you?"
"You make these mistakes, and then pretend to be nonchalant and peace-loving, wandering around this country, a visitor from outside the world, do you really take it for granted?"
"I have been following your footsteps for three months. I admit that you are a peaceful existence and have a love for everything. You treat everyone equally, whether it is a poor guest house or a wealthy palace. I asked about the places you passed by. Everything, everyone, everyone says that you are a friendly and kind person, and everything proves your gentleness and kindness, which is why I drink with you so peacefully."
"Visitor from outer space, please tell me, what is your purpose? Why do you want to stir up disputes in this world, and then enjoy peace as if nothing has happened." The villager said.
While he was speaking, he had taken off the sword from his back and placed the rusty sword on the tree stump. He stared at Li Shiwei closely, waiting for the answer from this extremely dangerous guest.
Li Shiwei originally explained something, but when she started to speak, she stopped again.
Then, she took a sip of wine in silence and said, "That was an accident. I originally wanted to destroy those things, but one of you noticed me, so I had no choice but to leave."
The villager nodded, seeming to agree with this statement, so he continued: "In that case, now, I... No, it's not just me, we hermits want to destroy these technologies, these foreign The technology is not a good thing, it has hindered the development of our original techniques, and is about to lead to a war that will sweep the world."
"Do you need my help?" Li Shiwei asked.
"No, I need you to die." The villager said frankly: "In this world, there are already a group of supporters of the Triangular Eye, supporters of your technology. If I want to eliminate them, I am afraid it will directly trigger a civil war. , this is not what we want to see.”
"However, if we eliminate you during the battle, then we can openly declare that your technology is wrong and has fatal weaknesses, and then we can naturally eliminate those technologies and get everything back on track."
"You are a good person, but this is for the sake of all sentient beings."
"Do I need to die? Why can't I embrace such changes? The technology I brought has no weaknesses. If it can be accepted and integrated, it will have many benefits." Li Shiwei shook her head.
"The benefits may not be there, but the disadvantages are obvious. If there is civil war at this moment, even extinction is not impossible." The villager said.
Having said this, the two of them almost understood the source of the conflict.
This kind of conflict has nothing to do with personal hatred. It can even be said that the other party seems to admire Li Shiwei a little, but he still has to take action because he cannot destroy the technology brought by Li Shiwei without destroying Li Shiwei.
Thinking of this, two words suddenly popped into Li Shiwei's mind.
'Tao Zheng'.
The two of them had different understandings of the world, so an irreconcilable contradiction arose.
After realizing this, Li Shiwei was in a daze.
But at the moment when she was in a trance, the village man clenched the hilt of his sword, and the martial arts spirit poured out from his back, condensing into a shadow, which was the dharma of a warrior.
Of course, it is still different from other Taoist laws, because this is actually the manifestation of the divine will of martial arts.
But there is actually no difference. After all, the dharma of other Taoist traditions is also the manifestation of one's own Taoism, but the martial arts... is just a little bit special.
The long sword was originally unsheathed and could not be unsheathed. However, the moment the sword was unsheathed, all the rust on it was peeled off, and the sword instantly turned into a bright brilliance and stabbed straight into Li Shiwei's body!
The energy surges into the clouds and waves, destroying mountains and seas wherever the attack reaches!
Li Shiwei did not resist, but was hit directly on her body and flew backwards. Her body was picked up and thrown away by the air waves like a leaf, and half of her body was torn apart by the sword energy!
However, her voice remained.
"Indeed, the Triangular Eye is my fault, so I won't resist this time, but I can't die yet, so I will resist next." Li Shiwei's voice was slightly trembling, and it could be seen that after enduring the seventh-grade first The blow was still too forced for her.
She was a little scared.
Fortunately, the opponent is a reckless warrior. If it were a magic technique, he might really die.
However, she suppressed her fear and decided to face it all.
The half of her torn body also turned into lunar energy and quickly returned.
"Elemental creature?" The villager's pupils moved.
Impossible, it was all flesh and blood just now, why did it suddenly turn into an elemental creature?
"I don't know what an elemental creature is, but... I'm just not made entirely of meat." Li Shiwei said, showing off her second trait.
She is the daughter of the moon spirit, so she naturally has the nature of the moon spirit. She has never been a real flesh and blood body.
But the sword energy continued to prevent her recovery like a tarsal maggot.
She took out a box of pills and swallowed one, only to see that the seventh-grade sword energy was easily eliminated, and her body recovered quickly.
The next moment, another sword struck.
But Li Shiwei no longer defended passively, but waved her hands, and a large number of talismans spilled out!
The thunder method is revealed, and the sky roars!
The noise and trembling of electricity suddenly erupted! A huge thunderstorm cloud composed of dark clouds suddenly appeared, and the thunder and lightning was furious!
The dark clouds accumulated in the sky glowed because of the lightning inside, the air was dissociated, and the surrounding area began to be filled with ozone. Lightning flashed across the clouds, and the roar of lightning resounded in the sky.
However, it was another sword.
A sword light suddenly appeared in front of Li Shiwei's eyes!
Before the sword arrives, the sword energy arrives first. The fierce sword intention is enough to make any enemy in this world fearful and dare not take the sword lightly!
She was not in a hurry, the talisman in her hand flashed, and the thunder struck the sword light fiercely. While canceling the sword energy, she began to set up a large formation nearby.
Moreover, it is a landscape formation!
This is what her father taught her!
She already understands the world quite well. At this moment, using the talisman as the base of the formation, herself as the formation eye, and the many treasures on her body, she can almost instantly gather the favorable weather, time and place around her to strengthen herself and weaken the enemy.
But the opponent is a warrior.
Warriors don't have so many bells and whistles.
He just caught the sword and struck again.
The sun was turning over the pond, and the stars were flying with the light, but I saw that the martial arts spirit behind the villager continued to rise, and the aura bursting out of it even reached the point of dazzling.
With such a dazzling light, Li Shiwei had to face the other party's aura.
"...Is that, protection?" Li Shiwei looked at the other party's martial arts spirit. It was a guard, a gentleness hidden in the shadows, and an insistence on vowing to guard everything in front of her after gaining eternal life.
This is the opponent's martial arts spirit.
No wonder he took the initiative to find Li Shiwei to do this.
The other party must have taken the initiative to assume the role of guardian of the world.
His arrival may even start a world war, so he must let himself die.
It's just, it's not possible.
Li Shiwei thought, the talisman in her hand condensed, the virtual dharma took shape, and the landscape formation started!
Value cannot be measured by strength or weakness, Li Shiwei has learned this.
However, these natives... are indeed weak.
However--
The next moment, three seventh-grade figures suddenly appeared from all around.
It was a siege from the beginning!
