Chapter 421 Sisters’ Communication
In the Holy Flame Realm, in the cave where Li Qi lived in seclusion, Yang Ning was bored and pecking at the seeds of a plant.
It was a native plant in the Holy Flame Realm. Li Qi didn't know what it was called, but Yang Ning seemed to like it very much. She often put a bunch of them on the table, then transformed into the form of a bird, and pecked out the seeds like a woodpecker. Eat the nut-like kernel inside.
While pecking the nuts, she said to Shen Shuibi next to her:
"I don't quite understand why you go to so much trouble to refine the heaven here, and then spend more than ten years to let the new generation voluntarily worship and reproduce in large numbers, and then turn all entertainment activities into dojos, using illusions Help them condense the Holy Flame, which is much more efficient, easier to manage, and won't cause so many casualties."
"That...would hurt Tianhe." Shen Shuibi weaved the formation and said softly.
Compiling formations and formulating formation diagrams is what she has been doing recently, and visual inspection is also what she has been doing for decades or hundreds of years to come.
Hearing Shen Shuibi's words, Yang Ning raised his head and swallowed a seed, and said disdainfully: "Is it harmful to Tianhe? Cultivation is an act that goes against heaven. Cultivation of you and me is a creation that conquers heaven. What is Tianhe?"
"Those who go against heaven are innate and do not go against the Tao. Because of their innate ways and innate ways, they can go against heaven and go against heaven. Those who disobey heaven can always escape. This does not mean that they have to go against heaven. "Shen Shuibi immediately corrected him.
Those who go against heaven are congenital and do not violate Tao.
Shen Shuibi revealed the core idea of the Taoist sect with a single word. If he was preaching outside, just this one sentence would be able to make countless people achieve breakthroughs in their cultivation.
Taoist practitioners use external objects to temper their bodies and absorb and plunder the vitality of heaven and earth. This is indeed an act against nature, but the point is that it is 'innate and not contrary to Tao'.
Tao is more essential than any ‘heaven’.
The unnatural act of cultivating oneself is to become an innate person.
This is the goal of Taoism, freedom, liberation, and not being restricted by anything.
Life span, suffering, and even this world, the universe itself, all things in the world, and all existence will not be bound.
Entering and exiting the realm of life and death, being free inside and outside the world, just follow the inner Tao itself, follow your heart's desires, and no longer be fettered by the slightest.
Immortals regard their reputation as morning dew, ride through the flames without being burned, tread lightly on mysterious waves, use drums to clear the dust, fly in the clouds, tower over Ziji, and perch in Kunlun. The only criterion for their actions is themselves.
For example, a situation like Gaga is what Taoism hates the most.
Being pushed by fate, bound by ‘destiny’, and becoming a practitioner of ‘destiny’, his seemingly majestic life turns out to be just a series of farcical plays that have already been written on a predetermined path.
However, being unfettered does not mean that you have to be enemies with the sky. What Xian is better at is ignoring and leaving directly, which is the so-called "Dun", Dunjia, Dunyi, this is what he is talking about.
"But there is no need to care so much about Tianhe. Too much time is wasted for this so-called Tianhe." Yang Ning said.
She didn't blame them for causing too many casualties at all, because Yang Ning knew that this was all to let more people survive, and sometimes you had to choose, just like the seniors who stayed in Luofu Mountain to break up the family.
"Li Qi is a wizard. He always wants to do better and not rebel too much." Shen Shuibi said.
"That's why I don't like him. I don't understand what you're thinking. A witch is always docile in his practice, but he will not achieve transcendence in the end." Yang Ning flew up and circled twice in the air, as if to eliminate food.
"Following heaven and earth will help you, obeying people will bring you peace, obeying benevolence without loss, following the road will be virtuous, there is nothing wrong with it. Since everything is in harmony, what difference does it make if you are detached or not?" Shen Shuibi replied. road.
"The difference is huge. It's a huge difference whether you have the choice or not." Yang Ning landed on Shen Shuibi's shoulder and pecked her face with his beak.
"Then you want to argue with him?" Rabbit did not continue the argument, but asked directly.
"He can't talk to me. He is still young and only in the seventh grade. Yes, this is also a strange thing for me. You should find a husband, not a son. The way you treat him now is like a mother to a baby. You even have to control your strength at all times to avoid hurting him." Yang Ning returned to the table boredly.
"It only took him less than five years." Shen Shuibi said: "Moreover, he is a qualified husband. Don't forget that in the world you are in now, Luofu Mountain's breaking point outside the territory was taken by him. He did it These are for Luofu Mountain.”
"Yes, I admit, it's amazing that Qipin can actually do these things, especially since his cultivation level was built from nothing in a few years. But you don't need to marry him. Luofu Mountain doesn't need you to make such a sacrifice. !" Yang Ning seemed a little angry.
"This is not a sacrifice, Yang Ning, he is my love." Shen Shuibi said calmly. She kept making formations in her hands. Runes popped out of her dexterous fingers and were engraved on the base of the formation.
Then, she continued: "I only care about him because he still needs time to grow, just like the time he waited for me to recover. At that time, he could also kill me easily, but he didn't."
"With his talent, it won't take long, at most two to three thousand years, to reach the fifth level. Even when he climbs to the fourth level, maybe you and I are still standing still."
"Hey, you and I were born at level seven." Yang Ning interrupted Shen Shuibi's words unhappily.
"Yes, he was born at the seventh rank, and it took nine thousand years to reach the fifth rank, and this was with the full education and assistance of the queen, not to mention that we directly inherited part of the master's rhyme... and he, as a mortal, is likely to do this in two or three thousand years. Isn't this enough to explain the situation? Don't judge people by their cultivation. If that's the case, what qualifications do we have to stand beside the queen and talk? What does our cultivation mean to the queen?" Shen Shuibi asked back.
"But how do you know? Everything you said is speculation. After all, he is just a mortal, and he is also a lecher. He took advantage of the opportunity and even forced his way to the mountain gate, making a mess!" Yang Ning spread his wings and transformed into a woman with long golden red hair. She sat at the table and patted the table and said.
"And, I admit that he is gifted, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that he seems to be doing you a favor. In the final analysis, he didn't even have any cultivation when he first met you--"
"Cultivation is accumulated, like stones piled up to form a mountain, water piled up to form a sea. There is no one in the world who can achieve success without accumulation. Those who accumulate morality are given by heaven, assisted by earth, and assisted by ghosts and gods. Phoenixes fly in their courtyards, unicorns roam in their suburbs, and dragons live in their swamps. Therefore, the world is governed by Tao. Tao is the origin of virtue, the root of heaven, and the door to happiness. All things are born, grown, and at peace when they wait for it. Have you forgotten what the title of Tao Ancestor is? How can you refute people in this direction?" Shen Shuibi said so.
This remark choked Yang Ning back.
The title of Tao Ancestor.
All Taoist practitioners in the world know it. It's an introductory course.
The Lord of Morality.
This is not the 'morality' that ordinary people say. That kind of morality should be renamed 'customs'.
This title represents something even greater.
The one who walks through all things is Tao.
Those who are connected to heaven and earth are virtuous.
The weight of this honorific title is self-evident.
Shen Shuibi even brought this up, what else can Yang Ning say?
Looking at the speechless Yang Ning, Shen Shuibi put down the tools in her hand, moved her position, and sat beside her.
"Besides, I know your concerns... Yang Ning, this is not a transaction, nor an exchange of interests. I do those things for him because I am willing, and he takes on these debts for Luofu Mountain just because he is willing."
"Everything goes with the flow, things are natural, nothing comes from oneself, there is no action and no creation, all things govern themselves, it comes from the heart and comes from the emotion, it's nothing big, don't think so complicated." Shen Shuibi said, picked up the tools again, and began to compile the formation.
There is nothing special, just that both parties want to do this, there is no transaction, it is not an exchange of interests, and it is not a sacrifice.
Rabbit is as calm as ever, doing her own things indifferently.
Compared with the helplessness when Luofu Mountain was first destroyed, she now seems calmer.
However, Yang Ning stared at her back, uttered an unhappy grumble, and suddenly transformed into a golden-red bird with wings, and flew out of the cave.
On the other side, Li Qi was writing a plan.
Not everything can be thought through in the mind, especially when it comes to the cooperation between many forces in a world, even Li Qi has to make a detailed plan and then fine-tune it bit by bit.
Help the Son of Destiny to walk on his predetermined path. When the Son of Destiny reaches the top, the contract made at the beginning will take effect.
At that time, no one can regret it. This is a contract reached by using the heavenly sacrifice ceremony and the way of heaven. The fate of the Holy Flame Realm was determined at that moment.
Therefore, Li Qi must ensure that Gaga can successfully complete his destiny and become a veritable "Son of Destiny".
However, he himself is a little sad about this.
The Son of Destiny has received great help. The whole world is helping him, but he must fulfill his destiny. This is the price of help from the way of heaven.
The way of heaven is ignorant and unaware, but it has spirit. It knows what it wants. It will instinctively give a person a "destiny", and this person will walk on the predetermined path in the dark. During this period, he will get a lot of investment from the world, but in the end, all this is for the world itself.
But for a "free" person like Li Qi, this destiny is really like a joke. He loses more than he gains.
Of course, for more people, they are eager to become the son of destiny, because this way they can get a good life and quickly improve their cultivation.
Having seen the world, feeling good about themselves, and being accustomed to living a life that is almost unearned, this lifestyle is often enviable, which makes them feel no need to liberate themselves.
Different pursuits.
Just as Li Qi was busy doing this, he looked up in astonishment as a flame descended.
"Ah, Yang Ning?" Li Qi stopped his work and looked at the falling golden crow.
No matter how you look at it, this is a very beautiful bird.
There is fire on the feathers, and the whole body is golden red. It is clever and agile, and it is also very strong.
Much stronger than Shen Shuibi.
Li Qi had heard that Rabbit was very curious, good at research, very peaceful, and had studied medicine, alchemy, formation, Qimen Dunjia, musical instruments, painting, etiquette, history, and even weaving and silkworm breeding.
But Yang Ning was not interested in any of these.
Yang Ning was only interested in one thing since she was a child, that is, becoming stronger.
She studied martial arts, focused on improving her cultivation, and liked to fight with others. Shen Shuibi had been beaten by her since she was a child.
Of course, Luofu Niangniang would fight back afterwards. Rabbit had told Li Qi about this before, just a short time after leaving Qingwu City.
The result... naturally, Yang Ning was very strong in fighting, and there were few opponents among the fifth-grade.
Li Qi had no doubt about this, as he had been beaten several times.
I really hope that this sister-in-law will have a better temper in the future.
But Li Qi's hope was obviously dashed.
The moment Yang Ning fell, the shock wave directly twisted a wall in the air, and Li Qi was knocked down by the wall unexpectedly and was directly blown away!
This made him feel chest tightness and dizzy, and stars appeared in front of his eyes.
But the next second, Yang Ning, who had turned into a human form, waved gently, and Li Qi felt a huge force coming again, holding him and flying in the direction of Yang Ning.
The hilltop collapsed in this impact, and Li Qi finally stood in front of Yang Ning unscathed.
It was just a little dizzy and nauseous.
Li Qi knew what was going on.
Yang Ning seemed to want to beat herself up, but she knew she couldn't do it, after all, Li Qi could be beaten to death by her easily.
So she could only use this method when she was angry, as if to... vent?
Li Qi smiled bitterly, forget it, the sister-in-law would always feel a little uncomfortable, and no one's sister would feel too comfortable if she was abducted, unless it was in those unspeakable books.
That would be too shameless.
"Okay, what's the matter? Yang Ning?" Li Qi looked at Yang Ning, took a few deep breaths, and returned to normal.
After all, he was a seventh-grade, and there was no real injury. Although his body was weak among the seventh-grade, this kind of behavior could still be considered a "joke".
What really made Li Qi nervous was Yang Ning's face.
The sister-in-law looked very unhappy.
However, soon, Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your plan requires the participation of people from Luofu Mountain, right? I am just the first step. Next, you are going to set your sights on other world groups, expand your business, accumulate money, and then repay Luofu Mountain's debts. This is your plan." Yang Ning looked at Li Qi and said so.
"Well, I did prepare so. In fact, I have done some preliminary work and a lot of preparations have been made." Li Qi said uncertainly.
Does Yang Ning have any questions about this plan? Or does she oppose this?
If that is the case, it will be difficult to deal with.
But what Li Qi did not expect was that Yang Ning took a long breath and said to Li Qi: "Then, if you need me, feel free to use me."
After speaking, she disappeared on the spot.
