Chapter 327 Unreliable Memory
Is there such a thing? Is there the influence of the demon in my body?
After being at a loss, Li Qi immediately realized one thing. At the same time, he became alert and asked Wan Wuheng: "How to deal with this thing, are you going to take me somewhere?"
Let alone whether there is the influence of the demon in his body, even if there is, Li Qi can't trust the Tang people.
Who knows if the place he takes me to will check the condition of my body, and maybe more things will happen at that time.
The demon is gone, but the human way has come in, and the problem is even bigger.
"Go to the White Horse Temple, the source of Buddhism in the Central Plains, and ask the monks there to help the young master expel the demon thoughts." Wan Wuheng said to Li Qi immediately.
Li Qi certainly knows this term.
He had learned about it before when he was in the Three Lives Ancient Mirror.
There is a monk in the Western Buddhist country named Jiashemoteng, who moved the scriptures with great perseverance, followed step by step from the Central Plains to preach, translated 200 million sutras of the monks, and with massive tributes and witty debates, the human emperor of that generation agreed to let him build a temple and preach since then.
After that, he built the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, another major city in the human world, where he spread Buddhism and was called the "Source of Buddhism in the Central Plains". It was called the "Ancestor Temple" by Buddhist monks in the Central Plains, the Southeast, and even further away.
"Go to the White Horse Temple? Now?" Li Qi asked after tidying up his clothes.
"Of course, the evil thoughts are deeply rooted in the heart, and you yourself certainly don't notice it, but your behavior, thoughts, and memories will be affected little by little, and you will slowly become unlike yourself, doing things you would never do before. This matter involves a great deal of seriousness. If you let the young master develop, not to mention your own safety, Chang'an will not let the devil hide here." Wan Wuheng explained to Li Qi neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Obviously, the latter is the key point. To be honest, what Li Qi is like only affects diplomacy, but if the last Sansheng Ancient Mirror happens again, the problem will be big.
However, Li Qi was very dissatisfied with this statement, and he was somewhat resistant to going to the White Horse Temple.
He was not sure whether he had any evil thoughts in his body, and he could not say for sure, because Li Qi knew that it was difficult to detect such things by self-consciousness.
Damn, he turned into a first-class free demon to target him, what could he do?
He did not even have the strength to resist.
But he did not want to go to the White Horse Temple, because Li Qi felt it was extremely dangerous.
So, Li Qi said: "The demon thoughts or the rhyme of the demon are silent and can sneak into an ordinary person's body at will. You can't prevent it. It is simply impossible to prevent it. Why do I have to act like this?"
Yes, if it is because of fear of risks, everyone will be sent to the White Horse Temple. The demon is simply happy. He just needs to cast a wide net and mess around. Anyway, no one can restrict him.
It is easy to paralyze Chang'an, as long as he keeps sending evil thoughts without a target.
He doesn't even need to send them, because the evil thoughts are rooted in people's hearts. No practitioner dares to say that he has no evil thoughts. Even the Buddha has them. Otherwise, he would not be invaded by the demon before he attained the Tao.
Otherwise, why is it said that he is scary when he transforms into a free demon...
How can he not be scary when he controls such a powerful force?
Wan Wuheng also patiently answered Li Qi: "Evil thoughts are hard to guard against, so there is naturally nothing we can do, but the damage caused is calculable."
"Even if ordinary people are eroded by evil thoughts, what they do is just what ordinary people can do, and killing two people is the limit."
"Cultivators may be able to destroy some roads and public facilities, but that's all, and they will be quickly subdued by others."
"However, at a higher level, such as the Sansheng Ancient Mirror, Chang'an, which was nearly half completed, was shrouded in the danger of being blown up."
"So, evil thoughts are scary because people affected by them are scary, and forgive me for being blunt, ordinary people can't cause much impact, but if something happens to you, it may be a big deal, so I still hope that you will care about the overall situation and don't make it difficult for both parties. After all...about the Chenji Golden Pill Method..." Wan Wuheng reminded Li Qi slightly.
Li Qi frowned.
This man was a little impolite, but the truth was right.
He came to Tang Kingdom, essentially to be a hostage, because Zhongyuan did not trust Wushen Mountain, and the two sides were still arguing about the ownership of Chenji Jindan Method.
In order to ensure that Chenji Jindan Method did not fall into the hands of Wushen Mountain, Li Qi came to Tang Kingdom as a hostage, saying that although he knew Chenji Jindan Method, he had not passed it on to others, nor had he given it to Wushen Mountain, so the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron was still safe and would not be forcibly taken away.
You know, as long as Li Qi is not in trouble, Chenji Jindan Method will not be in trouble.
Because Chenji Jindan Method cannot be taken away. For this level of skills, even if you search the soul and read the mind, you can't get the real divine will. You must learn it and pass it on to others through divine will.
Therefore, Li Qi must take the initiative to pass it on or announce it.
If Li Qi is eroded by evil thoughts and his brain is twitching and he announces Chenji Jindan Method...
Oh my goodness, I'm afraid the second-grade people will have to fight in person.
It's like there is a safe now, but if you don't know the password and there is someone guarding it, then naturally not many people will be interested.
But if the password is announced to the whole world...
Even if Wushen Mountain and Tang Kingdom don't want to fight, can you guarantee that there are no lone travelers who are stuck in the second level and can't make any progress and won't take risks?
Because everyone knows the Chenji Golden Elixir Method, it is equivalent to getting the opportunity of the Great Dao by getting the safe...
This group of people took a risk, and the forces in other parts of the world were eyeing them covetously. At that time, whether there would be chaos or not would not be decided by the Tang Kingdom and Wushen Mountain.
They can still suppress it now, but it will not be possible at that time.
Therefore, Li Qi's safety is the key to the stability of the two forces.
Therefore, Li Qi also felt that what the other party said made sense, and he would probably not refuse this matter.
Looking at the other party, he said that this matter was told to them by the great witch Mi Xin before...
This is probably true.
This is also very Mi Xin's style.
Don't tell Li Qi, let him figure it out by himself. If he is really slow and can't figure it out, then find someone to cover him up to prevent things from getting worse.
In fact, Li Qi felt that if he died or became a demon, and it would not have any substantial impact on Wushen Mountain, he would not notify the Tang people to come over, but would watch himself die.
Even if he could save himself with just a word, he would not speak.
Looking down on all living beings from a high position, not interfering with any of their choices and endings, this is probably the habit of this great witch, and it is also a habit of witchcraft.
There must be a reason for the death of the dead, even if the reason is accidental and luck, it doesn't matter.
There is no unnecessary good, nor unnecessary evil. Good and evil are unimportant things for witches, just do what you want.
Thinking of this, Li Qi sighed.
So looking at it this way, no matter how you guess, it is the best choice for you to go there.
Although Li Qi did not have any impression that the "Demon" exerted its power on him, he did not dare to gamble.
This kind of thing of the demon parasitism... should be the first time that happened to him.
Since it is something that he has no experience with...
Wait, is it really the first time?
Li Qi suddenly fell into a wave of indescribable confusion.
He covered his head, looked up and asked: "Sir, is this the first time I have been invaded by the demon?"
Wan Wuheng was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head: "I am not very clear about this, I am afraid that only the young master himself and his self-transformed demon know it?"
Li Qi heard this and took a deep breath.
Then, he said, "In that case, please inform the school for me, and I will go to Luoyang with you."
Wan Wuheng was relieved after receiving this answer, and then said, "It's good that you can figure it out, then, shall we set off now?"
"Let's go now, and I'll trouble you to testify for me at the school."
"Of course."
The two quickly reached an agreement and stopped talking.
Li Qi packed up his things, walked out of the courtyard, and closed the door.
After that, he followed Wan Wuheng away from here.
He knew in his heart that the place he was going to this time was Luoyang, and he had to leave Chang'an for a while, and for safety, he didn't plan to take public transportation, but a separate vehicle.
Leaving Chang'an and going to Luoyang...
He was not sure what this meant, but...
While walking, Li Qi examined himself, constantly checking his thoughts, consciousness, memory, etc., and constantly recalling every bit of what had happened, trying to see what went wrong.
But, he couldn't find it.
No trace was found.
Not only looking for it, but even thinking about it, there is no memory that can prove that this happened.
This made Li Qi shudder, and he couldn't help thinking about one thing.
Is his memory really credible?
This can even extend to another question, is his thinking credible?
Memory is the cornerstone of the existence of thought. If even memory can be tampered with, then what about thinking, his thinking, his free will, is it real?
Li Qi knew that many times, seemingly free choices are not free, and many decisions seem to be made by oneself, but in fact they are choices made under the influence of many factors.
Among these influences, memory is absolutely the main one, and if memory can be tampered with...
Wait, Li Qi, who was lost in thought, suddenly thought of something.
Memory itself can be tampered with!
He remembered that he had watched a very interesting movie commentary, and he still remembers it because it was too brainwashing.
On the second day, he went to listen to the sutra, stayed in a hotel at night, and on the third day, he went to the restaurant and watched a movie.
Just repeating these words can make up things that do not exist, and in the memories of others, the fictional things become real memories.
Memory can be tampered with from the beginning!
There is no need to tamper with it, because memory itself is not real. Memory is a brain supplement, and it is a reaction of the brain according to the stimulation it receives.
The memory produced by the brain is unreliable. Li Qi has taken biology classes and knows that even if the frog's brain is destroyed, the frog can accurately grab the piece of paper with sulfuric acid stuck on its belly through the spinal cord as the central nervous system.
Memory and will are not necessarily what you imagine. Sometimes after doing something, you convince yourself that it is the free will that is being implemented, but in fact it is not the case at all.
In other words, if you want to catch the traces of the demon, you can't rely on these unreliable things.
Memory is unreliable, so what is reliable?
Li Qi exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued to think.
Memory itself is unreliable, but there is one thing that is reliable.
That is the objective fact, this world.
If this world is no longer reliable, then there is nothing to believe in, and everything will lose its meaning. Therefore, Li Qi can only believe that this world is reliable.
And how to find evidence of the parasitism of the demon through this point?
Assuming that this point is credible, then make another assumption, that is, everything will leave traces.
Looking for traces left by the demon, not from memory and thinking, but simply looking for material evidence of the existence of the demon, can it be used to determine that you have been invaded by the demon.
So, what material will the demon leave as proof of his presence?
Can this material be detected? Does the Buddhist search for traces of the demon rely on such things?
Li Qi began to consciously look for such traces, even if it was in vain.
There should be no traces in the small world of the human body composed of material body and qi, after all, it is not material...
No!
Li Qi immediately realized something.
"Wait, Wan Wuheng." Li Qi, who was in a violent emotional fluctuation, even forgot to use honorifics for the other party, but called him by his name.
Fortunately, Wan Wuheng didn't seem to care about this matter. He just turned his head and glanced at Li Qi.
In the few minutes after walking out of the door, this young man had been silent, with a gloomy look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, but now he suddenly reacted so strongly, it seems...what did he think of?
Just like Wan Wuheng's guess, Li Qi immediately asked: "The means by which the demons usually erode are through demonic energy, demonic thoughts, and Dao rhyme, right? Is there any record in your Tang country's information?"
Wan Wuheng heard this and nodded: "That's true, but demonic thoughts are present in everyone, which is almost impossible to distinguish. Demonic energy is present in those who practice the magic way or have been exposed to the magic way, so it is not credible."
"As for Dao rhyme... the demon Dao rhyme is rare, but there are records. For some reason, the demon Dao rhyme is mostly harmless and has never left any traces. Only a few cases will lure victims and have negative effects."
After saying these words, Wan Wuheng asked: "Why are you asking this, young master? Do you have any ideas?"
"Dao rhyme is a fragment of the Great Dao, a part of the Dao, which can guide the operation of things and is a kind of law," Li Qi asked again.
Wan Wuheng nodded, but still a little confused. Why did Li Qi say this?
Li Qi raised his head: "In other words, if I have Dao rhyme in my body, then, is my little world in my human body guided by the magic way and running?"
