Chapter 124 Too Scientific
Why did the Heavenly Punishment aim at the wrong place?
It's very simple. When Li Qi was halfway there, he bent down and carved a 'substitute' made of his own blood and real name on the ground. In fact, the Heavenly Punishment was aiming at that place.
This trick can be used to circumvent divination, confuse the diviner's vision and hearing, and with the method of concealing the breath, it will make the enemy 'see wrong'.
Although it may not be useful, after all, experienced diviners must have their own way to crack it. At that time, it depends on who is more skilled.
However, for the Heavenly Dao of this world, which is already weak and dying, this substitute is the only coordinate he can get. He has no way to crack it, and he is not strong enough.
If you play this trick on the Heavenly Dao of that 'world', you will probably die miserably.
As for the method of this substitute, it is one of the 120 magics recorded in the book given by Teacher Da Zhu.
In that book, only two or three of the magics recorded are real big magics, and most of the others are small tricks like this. Master Zhu himself said in the book that it is "the art of chicken-stealing and dog-stealing".
However, it is very useful.
This is the "borrowing power from mountains and rivers" that Zhu people are good at. Zhu people themselves are the profession of communicating with the gods of heaven and earth. This communication is not just flattery.
Sacrifice is just a means of communication. As for the content of communication, it depends on the person. Zhu people do not think that they are inferior to ghosts and gods.
In most cases, there are things to discuss. Zhu people offer the sacrifices required by ghosts and gods in exchange for the help of ghosts and gods, but there are still "a small number of cases" after all.
I'm getting off topic.
Speaking of which, in the current desert convoy, except for Bai Di and Shen Shuibi, no one else can look at Li Qi with a calm look.
Although the atmosphere was destroyed by Shen Shuibi, it was actually harmless.
Under this heavenly power, no one can remain calm.
"You two, now you can understand that I really have no intention towards you, right? My purpose of coming here is very simple, that is to observe the operation of the heavenly way here, and there is no other intention."
"I have already said this, you don't think I really can't do anything to you, right? I have treated you with courtesy and respect so far, and I hope you can respect me as well."
"Whether it is a refusal or an agreement, there must be a clear reply. The current look is really not an attitude of willingness to communicate."
Li Qi said to Shar and Lu Li with a smile.
Lu Li, who was shocked before, didn't know what to say for a while.
But he didn't dare to make sarcastic remarks as before.
Because he could clearly realize that the "young master" of the immortals in front of him was a god-like existence to them.
It was their "luck" that this young master could communicate and exchange with them, instead of directly choosing to conquer by force like other immortals.
Although they didn't want this luck.
The lioness Shar, on the other hand, was calmer. After witnessing everything, she took a deep breath and said, "So... can I call you, Young Master?"
"Of course." Li Qi said.
Although he didn't really like this title, it was time to maintain his status, so he shouldn't do anything weird.
"I'm only speaking for myself, and maybe I can provide some help, Young Master." said the lioness Shar.
Her words were very cautious.
But Li Qi smiled, because that was enough.
Because, although he also cared about the reward of the Heavenly Dao, or the Dao rhyme after the Heavenly Dao dropped its grade, what he wanted to know more than this was -
Was there really someone plotting against him behind his back? Was there really someone trying to plot against him... or was he just fighting wits and courage with the air?
Still needed to be cautious.
Li Qi didn't have paranoia, but he felt that since he was flattered by so many people, he always felt uneasy in his heart.
It was not a good thing to not have the strength corresponding to his status, and even failed to enter the Wu Dao, but to be called the direct descendant of Wushen Mountain.
A tall tree attracts the wind. With the title on his head now, someone will definitely be eyeing him.
Just like someone will go around the map to kill elite monsters every day.
———————————
Let’s not talk about those things. Although Shar and Lu Li promised to help or provide some information, Li Qi and others would not delay their business for such a small episode on the road.
What is the business?
Of course, it is to observe the differences in the heavenly way of this foreign land, learn from it, and feel the different rhymes of the way.
This is the purpose of Li Qi’s coming.
Compared with this, fighting wits and courage with the air is not so urgent for the time being.
Li Qi just ordered the people of these industrial companies to collect information for him, let Bai Di spend some time to supervise, and then waited with great interest to observe the process of ‘heavenly way’.
Li Qi was still looking forward to it on the way. What exactly does it feel like? Is it the same as what is said in the book, as long as you sit in meditation, countless wonderful feelings will emerge, and then it won’t take long for your skills to increase greatly, and your feelings about the world will also increase many times, and suddenly you will improve a lot.
With this expectation in mind, Li Qi first came to a strange modern city, and then went straight to the headquarters of some "industrial company".
I encountered many strange things on the road. For example, although there is such a thing as "industry" here, due to aesthetic reasons, most of the cities have cornices, but the buildings are extremely high, which looks quite weird.
The roads are not all filled with cars, there are even vehicles powered by animals.
People also wear alternative ancient costumes, which are in line with the aesthetics here and are not too bulky. Only the models printed on street advertisements or the particularly solemn robes can be seen in statues.
A scene from another world made Li Qi look like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.
However, forget it after seeing it. These scenery are not the point. The point is to observe Daoyun.
When he arrived at the headquarters, he was greeted by a bunch of people along the way, all of them seemed to be senior executives, but Li Qi just said hello twice and left, heading to the oil mining site not far from the city.
But these people seemed to be flattered, and then they all followed Li Qi to the oil extraction well.
After arriving, start taking the elevator and go straight underground.
Deep underground, you can observe the most wonderful places in the foreign world.
However, when Li Qi stepped out of the elevator and came to the observation point, he was stunned.
What was placed in front of him was not a futon or a place for meditation.
But...in a basement, in the room, there are connected copper pipes and glass pipes all over, and an unknown liquid flows in the middle, dripping into the test tube through distillation.
There are copper pipes and test equipment, various materials, gems, arrays, herbs, and minerals all over the place. There is a strange smell in the air, which seems to be a mixture of many items.
Why does it look so...a laboratory?
"No, Miss Shen, what's going on here? To understand the way of heaven...is this how you do it?" Li Qi was a little stunned, with a strange expression.
Placed in front of him was a pile of equipment, blackboards, books, and... mathematical formulas.
"Ah? Otherwise, if you don't rely on these, how can you understand the way of heaven?" Shen Shuibi was even more surprised than him: "Can you detect the rhyme of the way of heaven on your own? Do you have the sense of rhyme?"
Seeing that Li Qi still had a puzzled expression on his face, Shen Shuibi took the time to explain. She first asked Li Qi: "Li Qi, what do you mean, Tao?"
"Tao is the law of movement of all things in the world..." Li Qi answered according to what was written in the book.
After saying that, Li Qiwan was enlightened and suddenly realized!
I see!
Seeing that Li Qi understood, Shen Shuibi was also very happy: "You see, you understand, Tao is the basis for the operation of this universe. Everything depends on Tao to operate. So, at the beginning, we did not have direct feelings. If you know the method of rhyme, you can only use tools to observe different phenomena. "
Having said this, Li Qi naturally understood what Shen Shuibi meant, and he had a deeper understanding.
Indeed, he doesn't know the existence of "Tao" at all now. He really just closes his eyes and meditates. What is the difference between that and sleeping? How is it possible to perceive the difference in Tao Yun?
Then, if you want to perceive the difference in the Taoist charm of a foreign land, you can only use phenomena.
If you use the same method to conduct experiments, depending on the difference in 'Tao', you will get two different results in the two worlds. Although the difference is generally very small, so small that it is invisible, this is the difference.
By observing this difference, we can figure out the subtle differences between the two worlds and then compare them.
Therefore, some worlds will have ‘specialties’, because such specialties can only be born under such rules.
Only, there's a problem.
Li Qi suddenly thought of it, and then asked Shen Shuibi: "In this case, the rules of different worlds are different, which means that the basis for the formation of matter is different. If you enter one, you will die, right?"
Imagine that if there is no electromagnetic force in a world, all matter will disappear, and Li Qi will collapse into a pile of atomic nuclei the moment he enters.
Hearing this, Shen Shuibi immediately explained to Li Qi: "Ah, don't worry about this. The universe has its own eternal 'Tao'. This is the avenue that supports thousands of worlds and even the movement of the universe itself. Even these The world itself also depends on the true avenue for its existence.”
"So, the different Taoist rhymes in each world only mean that there are very small differences, not even the material basis is completely different."
"I see, I've learned a lesson. Thank you, Miss Shen." Li Qi thanked her.
Now that you understand things, let's do the experiment honestly.
Moreover, when Li Qi really got started, he discovered that the experiment was not actually important, it was just a more intuitive performance for him to understand better.
Because...all the experiments that can reflect the differences between the world and the earth's oil world have been done by predecessors long ago, and all records and data have been completed.
Every civilization has a skill called ‘inheritance’.
The first wise men tried their best to solve simple things like the Pythagorean Theorem, or put forward some incredible conjectures.
Knowledge, that's it.
Just like the world Li Qi used to live in, when he was in junior high school, he learned the three laws of mechanics, the Pythagorean theorem, and two-dimensional geometry. How simple was it? How relaxing.
A few simple lines of words can probably be understood in just half an hour of reading.
But behind it, it took a top wise man in the human world decades, or even a lifetime, to explore and summarize, and only then did he come up with such a simple line of small words in the book.
Knowledge is this kind of thing.
When you don't master it, it seems out of reach, unknown and mysterious, as if it is some special, ultimate, and incomparable super secret.
But when you really master a certain knowledge, you will find that everything is just taken for granted, and the principle seems so simple.
Yes, so simple, you can understand it at a glance.
However, it takes unimaginable time, materials, and energy to complete such a simple thing.
These costs have been paid by the predecessors.
"These books... these data and records, is this the difference between the 'Tao' of the two worlds?" Li Qi read those documents, and the things that the predecessors had long summarized poured into his mind so simply.
Before coming, he was still thinking about how mysterious it was to comprehend the rhyme of Tao.
But now, at a glance, some things are really universal.
Experiencing the rhyme of Tao in another world... It's really too scientific.
However, just looking is not intuitive enough. Coming here, you still need to do experiments and summaries intuitively to find out what consequences the different ways of the two worlds have caused, where the differences are, and make comparisons.
Find the differences, then find the similarities, and understand these, and you will naturally have a clearer understanding of the only great way in the entire universe.
This is not something mysterious and unspeakable, but a clear experimental record, a clear summary and analysis, which can be seen at a glance. If you learn it, you will be closer to the truth.
Li Qi was reading and doing experiments, and he was constantly sighing in his heart.
This is the power of inheritance. The wise men and sages worked hard to open up a little bit of road, so ordinary people can also walk on these roads, and they can walk smoothly and simply, without paying the same price as the wise men.
Just like he is now performing some magic and sacrifices, he does not need to understand the principles behind the magic and sacrifices, and does not need to study what these things are. He only needs to pinch the formula, chant the spell, draw the air, and cooperate with specific methods to be able to perform it and exert power far beyond the limit of human beings.
The great ancient wise men and sages used energy that ordinary people could not imagine, and made incredible sacrifices to explore the laws of this world bit by bit, summed up the underlying "Tao", and then developed basic methods, and then spread it to the world.
Later generations only need to follow the steps and they can walk smoothly all the way.
Such inheritance truly established the civilization of "Tianxia".
