Chapter 361 Fengde Temple

It's hard to say...

How to confess?

Li Qi also fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, just like his reaction just now, Ling Xiao Hua Shen did not urge him.

Thinking and consideration are still very important.

Li Qi did need to consider, because he didn't want to tell Ling Xiao Hua Shen that his main purpose was to take advantage of the other party's momentum to return to Tang State and join Tang State's high-level social circle at once.

After all, the Lord of Ling Xiao State is not a fool. Everyone uses each other. Things on the scale should be equal. After Li Qi's main purpose was exposed, she didn't need to pay more favors to invite those big monks.

Fengde Temple was not opened by her. It was her favors that persuaded the monks to welcome Li Qi and check the Buddha sculptures.

So if Li Qi didn't say it, the matter of taking advantage of the other party's momentum to return to the social circle was equivalent to freeloading.

After a while, Li Qi raised his head and said, "It's really hard to talk about this matter directly, but what I can say is that I have encountered some troubles and want to find a method at least at the level of clairvoyance, so that it may help me overcome this difficulty."

"My teacher intervened in this matter, but he only gave me some tips and gave me a lesson, and did not help me personally, but these tips almost made my brain explode. Just when I was entangled, I met a little monk."

"The little monk has the prototype of clairvoyance, so I came to see it, just want to know clearly, and see if it can be used for my troubles."

"As for what this trouble is...please forgive me for not telling you the truth. If I tell you, unless Lord Lingxiao is like me, there is a powerful teacher behind him." Li Qi said so.

"Is that so..." Lord Lingxiao listened to Li Qi's words completely.

Then, the two fell into a long silence again.

This time, it lasted for a full hour.

Li Qi was not idle during this time. He observed the expression of Lord Lingxiao, guessed her psychology, and then tried to persuade her with more powerful words.

Li Qi really wanted to know what that thing was, to see if he could use it for himself.

You know, according to Li Qi's existing knowledge, if you want to learn the Sky Eye, you must be at least the fifth rank or above to be qualified to carry this magic.

Otherwise, with the complexity of this magic, the human body with insufficient strength can't withstand it at all.

The little monk was able to open the prototype of the Sky Eye with the eighth rank of cultivation, which means that if Li Qi can get this secret, maybe he can also open part of the Sky Eye when he is at the seventh rank, and then he will have a little bargaining chip to fight against the demon.

So, if possible, Li Qi doesn't want to give up easily.

According to Li Qi's observation of Lingxiao Flower God in this hour, she... probably doesn't want to give up the opportunity brought by Li Qi.

Li Qi speculated that Lingxiao Flower God wanted to use Lingxiao Country to accumulate foundation, and then come back one day.

Of course, this comeback does not mean to kill back.

Kill back? Dreaming, who can she beat? Even if she cultivates for another 10,000 years, she will be killed by the famous scholar who wrote the poem to criticize her.

The other party is a person with the same name as Liu Donghe, a great scholar. Li Qi is not sure about his specific cultivation, but Liu Donghe is a fourth-rank Confucian, and he is a very, very strong one among the fourth-rank. If he wants, he can take over a high-ranking official position at any time.

Being as famous as Liu Donghe, it can be seen that she is not much weaker.

Therefore, Li Qi believes that her comeback is probably to prove with practical actions that Lingxiaohua is not a climber, so that the person who wrote the poem at the time will find out that he was wrong and apologize to her.

To be honest, this choice is a bit embarrassing. She is humiliated by the other party and has to prove it to the other party.

With the character of Lingxiaohua God, it is probably difficult to accept.

Although it is not that difficult to accept in fact.

Because, if a Confucian can reach the third rank, he is an upright person. This is not the level that some sour Confucian scholars can reach. If the other party realizes that he is wrong, he will really apologize.

This is considered the "sincerity" in Confucianism.

If even this cannot be done, it means that the other party's third rank is either a fake, or has cut off the path of Taoism and changed his mind, and is definitely not a "famous person".

Cultivation, cultivation, in the final analysis, is to fall into "action". It is impossible for someone to go against his own path. He can go so far in the Confucianism of humanity, which means that he must be very consistent with the Confucian thought, and he recognizes it from the heart.

People choose the path, and the path also chooses people.

If you really have a special thought and cannot fit these existing paths, then open a path for yourself. Anyway, you can't do anything shady.

Gongfa will not dictate how people act, but Taoism will, and there is no need for supervision. As long as you violate the Tao you follow and believe in, you will naturally pay the price.

Li Qi's ability to profile is enough to make him a detective in the mortal world, or a top-level detective.

But now he is a seventh rank, so this ability is naturally not presentable.

After Li Qi's calculation, finding someone to challenge the famous scholar and defeat him thoroughly is the most suitable for Ling Xiao Flower God's character, and it is also the best result under the restriction of "possibility".

Ling Xiao Flower God may refuse, but the reason for refusal is definitely not "dislike" or "unacceptable".

So, the chance of success is very high.

Sure enough, after more than an hour, Ling Xiao Flower God finally responded.

She looked at Li Qi seriously, pursed her lips first, and then released them.

She was obviously the fifth-grade with an advantage, but now she was not as relaxed as Li Qi. It was obvious that she was getting more and more nervous.

The reason was very simple in the opinion of Lingxiao Flower God.

Li Qi was not in any danger.

He was the son of Wushen Mountain. In the Baiyue territory, no one dared to do anything to him. As long as he gently called out the name of his teacher, a terrifying force would descend from the sky and instantly destroy all enemies.

Even if there was no teacher, there would definitely be a guardian hidden in the dark around him to escort them and prevent these geniuses from dying halfway.

Even in the Tang Kingdom, no one dared to take his life. He could do whatever he wanted without scruples. Even if he did something bad, he would only be scolded and he would have the opportunity to repent.

His bottom line was the bottom line of Wudao, and Wudao had no requirements for good and evil.

So when Li Qi did these things, at most he would fail and waste a little time, but there would never be any other additional losses.

But Lingxiao Flower God was different.

If she failed, she would lose miserably.

She was already miserable, having been driven from Tang to Baiyue, but if she lost this time, she would be even more miserable, and she might not have a chance to turn over again.

At the gambling table, people who bet heavily have different mentality from those who don't bet.

Li Qi can calmly analyze the pros and cons and read the information, but even if she has a much higher cultivation, she has to be affected by emotions.

She stared at Li Qi with jealousy and heavy breathing.

Li Qi was also looking at her.

Li Qi knew what she was thinking, because he had been trying to understand Lingxiao Flower God, although there was only a few hours.

Of course, she didn't know...

Li Qi bet more than her and faced something more terrifying than her.

She was just facing a great scholar, while Li Qi was facing the self-transformed demon.

Moreover, calling Zhu Fengdan's name would not only not have any response, but even the guardian could not be called out. Li Qi didn't have a guardian at all.

But anyway, Li Qi noticed that her cultivation was a little scattered, exuding a strong sense of oppression, almost suffocating Li Qi.

Physical suffocation.

As for the psychological suffocation... To be honest, the fifth rank is not enough. Although the fifth rank can crush Li Qi with one finger, Li Qi has seen too many big men, so he has established enough advantages psychologically.

Knowing this, Li Qi forced himself to take a long breath.

This is difficult to do, because in the opponent's scattered momentum, Li Qi's throat seemed to be strangled by something, and he had to encourage his cultivation to complete a sigh.

So, facing the Lingxiao Flower God who was tight-skinned and silent, Li Qi continued to encourage his cultivation, pulling his vocal cords and said: "Don't treat me as a death warrant, Lord, I am here to help you, you can treat me as a friend."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a transaction between us, but mutual help. You help me solve the trouble, and I will help you solve the trouble. This way, a lot of trouble can be saved, and nothing will be lost."

Li Qi advised.

If possible, he hopes to solve the problem with words as much as possible.

After all, the secret of the Sky Eye is very important to him, and returning to the Tang Kingdom is also very important to the Lingxiao Flower God.

"Then let's do this." The Lingxiao Flower God seemed to have finally realized her own loss of composure. She put away her unintentional aura, stabilized her cultivation, and regained her composure.

After she regained her composure, she said, "I will take you to see the monks of Fengde Temple in Zunfo Mountain and introduce you to them, but whether you can ask the reason depends on you."

"Similarly, I don't count on you to pass on a message to me. It's my fate. What do you think, sir?"

"Great, let's do this. It's just a small favor for everyone, and no one will be in the way." Li Qi nodded immediately.

The Lingxiao Flower God immediately said, "Then let's do this. You go to Zunfo Mountain first, and then we go to Chang'an together. Don't ask each other about each other's situation, just do what we agreed on."

"Okay, but..." Li Qi stretched out his hand.

"Here is the certificate. Go to Zunfo Mountain, and they will naturally recognize you." The Lingxiao Flower God pulled out a hairpin from herself and handed it to Li Qi.

The hairpin was made of wood, and it seemed to be made of the stems of flowers and trees.

"Thank you, Lord. I will be back in seven days at most. I will take you to find Liu Canzhi then." Li Qi nodded and walked out the door without delay.

However, at the moment of leaving the door, Li Qi's eyes were stern.

Without stopping, he quickly went to the horseman to take away the old horse that was eating a lot, and quickly left Ezhou and headed towards Zunfo Mountain.

It was not until he left Ezhou that Li Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a trick. Lingxiao Flower God knew I was coming..." Li Qi rode the old horse and talked to himself in his heart.

Lingxiao Flower God, you have been entangled for too long and struggled for too long.

This is very abnormal.

Because this matter is not worth her putting on a look of risking her life.

If this matter fails, she will just be driven back to Baiyue. Can the famous scholar who wrote a poem to criticize her at the beginning still hunt her down?

There must be other reasons for her to act like that.

Li Qi has two guesses.

First, that speculation that lasted for more than an hour was just a posturing.

In this way, she still pretended to think, which meant that she had made up her mind a long time ago, but she just wanted to delay it for a while. This itself represented a lot of things. There must be something else behind it, but she was just doing it for herself.

The second thing was that the entanglement and consideration were not pretended. She was really afraid and really felt that she had bet a lot.

That meant that she had bet on things she didn't know about, which were much more than what Li Qi saw, enough to make her, a fifth-rank official, terrified.

Anyway, in Li Qi's opinion, the things on the table now were far from enough for him to show this look.

The old horse didn't understand those twists and turns. Anyway, wherever Li Qi asked him to go, he would go there, leaving Li Qi alone sitting on the horse and thinking hard.

However, the clues were limited, and no matter how much he thought, he couldn't draw many conclusions.

The conclusion that can be drawn from the current information is that the matter of the clairvoyance should not be a coincidence, but someone deliberately arranged it for him.

Sure enough, only those grassroots who no one cares about can encounter such a coincidence.

As the son of Wushen Mountain, I can't encounter coincidences.

Good adventures are arranged by elders.

Bad adventures are arranged by opponents.

How could I let the so-called "adventure" that I don't know the truth or the details hit me...

However, no matter what, I have to go and see this clairvoyance.

Because I don't know whether it is "good" or "bad", I will do what I should do before the matter is revealed.

Thinking of this, Li Qi soon arrived at Zunfo Mountain.

Not far, less than a day's walk.

At the current speed of Lao Ma, it only takes a few days for him to travel through all the states of Lingxiao Country. I think it only takes two thousand miles to walk out of a state. It's very fast.

Zunfo Mountain is a distance from Ezhou, but it only takes less than a day and a night to get there.

From the outside, Zunfo Mountain is nothing special. It is just an ordinary mountain, about a thousand meters high, covering an area of ​​40 to 50 miles. It is not deep, but full of people.

This circle is full of villages and towns, with a radius of 40 to 50 miles, but there are millions of people gathered here, forming an urban circle.

Li Qigang was also curious when he came, so he went down to ask these local residents.

The reason is very simple.

There is no other reason. Living in other places is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may encounter some mountain spirits and water monsters, and be eaten by demons and hungry ghosts. Even if there are witches and sorcerers in the village, they will inevitably fail.

But near Zunfo Mountain, there are those big monks, and no demons dare to make trouble in this area. Even if there are really bold and brainless ones, most of them will not have a good end.

The big monks do not kill, so if they catch such demons, they will not kill them, but leave them in the mountains, tie their heads with tight bands, let them do some hard labor in the temple, welcome guests, farm work and other things. In addition to working day and night, they do homework and learn Buddhism. This method is used to encourage them to turn from evil to good.

This is really effective, so the guardians in the temple are demons, ghosts and monsters, all of whom are devout to Buddha.

As a result, the residents at the foot of the mountain also respected Buddhism very much. They burned incense day and night and often raised money to erect a golden statue in the temple and repair the temple. It can be regarded as a courtesy.

When I figured out these things, I was ready to climb the mountain.
