Chapter 516 Keeping to Yourself

The other side of the picture?

Li Qi couldn't help but glance back.

In other words, the back of the painting is blocked from the pot beam? Stop others from coming in?

Why is this?

"Senior, what do you mean, no one is allowed to come to Huliang now?" Li Qi asked.

"It's not that it's not allowed, it's just that there are too many people here and I'm tired of it. Put a cover over it. Passage is allowed on 1, 3, 5 and 2, 4 and 6 is prohibited. This way, half of the unlucky ones will be eliminated. If there are fewer people, everyone can sit down. Otherwise, the whole place will be packed by then, and a few people may be killed in the aftermath of the fight, which will not end well." The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said casually.

"Unlucky guy...that is to say, the person who was blocked?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

"If you are blocked, just block it. You are unlucky. It's not like I didn't leave any chance. The fact that you can't come means that you don't have enough luck. It's the two of you who have passed through the back of the paper and entered the painting. There is something. How do you do it? Arrived?" the old Taoist priest asked with a smile.

Facing the barrier set up by the third grade, it was really incredible that Li Qi and his group were able to pass through without knowing it, and even pass through the opponent's painting.

"Senior just said that we have bad luck and not enough fate. I guess the reason why we can get in is because we have the right fate." Li Qize replied.

This answer stunned the old Taoist priest for a moment.

Then he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Indeed, indeed, since you can come in, it is fate. Miaji, Miaji, poor Taoist Lu Jian, I have met these two little friends here. Since it is fate, How about we go together?"

Facing a senior who was probably the third grade, it was certainly impossible for Li Qi to say those disobedient words, so he said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. I also ask senior Lu Jian to go forward."

"You don't have to call me senior. Since you two are destined to be friends, you can just call me by my name. If you feel disrespectful, just call me brother!" The Taoist priest named Lu Jian was very free and easy. He waved his Taoist robe and said, He went out to the thatched cottage.

Li Qi pulled Shen Shuibi and hurriedly followed. Although the old horse could not change its size, it still twisted its body carefully, not daring to damage anything, and squeezed out from the door of the thatched cottage little by little.

As soon as he left the door of the thatched cottage, Lao Ma felt that the effect of the Dragon Suppressing Formation had disappeared, so he quickly shrank into a loach and hid in Li Qi's collar.

This place in Huliang is so dangerous!

There is actually a Dragon Suppressing Formation! Why put a Dragon Suppressing Array in the house? !

Li Qi knew this problem.

Because when Li Qi was in the room, he also felt that his cultivation was sluggish, and even Shen Shuibi felt this way.

In that thatched cottage, there was not a dragon-suppressing formation, but an all-things-suppressing formation! Including but not limited to dragons.

Anything that goes in will be sluggish. If the cultivation level is too low, it will be like Lao Ma. All magical powers are imprisoned and cannot even change the size.

When the old horse was trembling, Li Qi and Lu Jian walked out.

What comes into view is the real pot beam.

Well……

Isn’t the real Huliang just a desert island?

However, there are quite a lot of people on this deserted island, including Taoist priests, Taoist boys, monsters, various dragons from the East China Sea, witches, monks, practitioners of humane arts, warriors, Buddhist monks, etc., etc., there are many so many people.

If you look around, there must be at least millions!

There are so many people, no wonder Lu Jian wants to pass the 1, 3, 5, and 2, 4, 6, ban. If he does not control it, Huliang will really be crowded, and even Penglai will be filled with people. When the fight comes, it is estimated that the Taoist sect will be Not many people are willing to help clean up the aftermath. I'm afraid it will really kill two people.

As for the scenery of Huliang... it is indeed beautiful, but this kind of beauty, to put it bluntly, means good mountains, good water and good scenery. It is much better than ordinary places, and it also has the unique film filter of 'Daomen' Average effect, but...

That's it.

How can ordinary landscapes be so good? Compared with a place like Humanity, where even the sewer floor tiles in the entire city are paved with magic weapons, the shock is simply too weak.

Moreover, the great sources of heaven and earth are also very ordinary, unlike those at Wushen Mountain where you can feel the majestic pressure of heaven and earth and all kinds of monsters, poisonous insects and other things that are spawned anytime and anywhere.

Huliang, one of the three islands, is really ordinary...

However, after coming out of the thatched hut, Li Qi had already deeply understood the methods of Taoist masters, so he was in awe and was not too disappointed.

As Li Qi once said to Liu Shenzhi——

Whether it is brilliant, terrifying, solemn or simple, they are just decorative styles and do not represent the essence.

Come to think of it, this is just the decoration style of Huliang. It's not surprising. It's just that the decoration is a bit simple. It's like, everyone has laid the floor tiles, painted the walls, and applied seam glue, but only the Daomen side is still rough. house.

It's not that the rough house is unlivable, it's just that it's a bit shabby.

But these Taoist priests probably don't care.

For example, the thatched house just now is a real thatched house, not a magical palace pretending to be a thatched house. It is a shabby thing made of thatched grass. The old horse does not dare to toss it, for fear that it will fall apart and let those things fall apart. The real treasure falls to the ground.

Therefore, it is understandable that Huliang looks like this.

When she walked outside, Shen Shuibi's words became less frequent. Because there were too many people here, she was afraid of breaking the rules, so she hid behind Li Qi and almost returned to her original form.

Li Qi, on the other hand, looked very interested and said to Lu Jian in a familiar manner: "Brother Lu, how can this Huliang lead to Penglai?"

"You want to go to Penglai? Over there, there is a self-service immortal road. Every flash means that someone has left." Lu Jian pointed to a mountain on the other side, where light was constantly flashing.

"Just put it there?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

"What else? It can't be damaged, and it's quite convenient." Lu Jian smiled.

"Who built this... who built it? The Golden Terrace of Tang was built by the whole country, so there is a Golden Terrace in any large city. Then, is this Huliang also built by everyone's joint efforts?" Li Qi asked curiously.

Really curious.

Whether it is the human way or the witch way, there is a clear center that can call on everyone's strength and concentrate on doing things.

But the looseness of the Taoism is simply outrageous. Obviously, Penglai cannot command other branches. For example, Shen Shuibi's Luofu Mountain has nothing to do with Penglai at all. Everyone doesn't know each other. The person who died in Luofu Mountain was not even raised by Penglai.

In this case, there is no joint effort, so who built the immortal road in Huliang?

"Definitely not. If it were me, I would usually go to the human side and use their golden platform to travel. However, a true immortal said that if others have it, I should also have it, so he built this immortal road, the only one, and he is not responsible for maintenance." Lu Jian replied: "But it is indeed useful, so the maintenance work will be handed over to those who need it. If you want to use it in the future, remember to repair it, add some energy, and do a good job of maintenance. After all, you use it yourself and clean it up yourself, understand?"

"That's natural, I understand." Li Qi nodded.

Sure enough, it really fits the image of Taoism.

Use it yourself, clean it up yourself.

Do whatever you want to do, and bear the consequences yourself.

No one will care about you, and no one will restrict you. Everyone does what they want to do and makes their own friends.

The Ninth Blessed Land went to practice martial arts, the Seventh Cave Heaven Luofu Mountain closed its doors to practice self-cultivation, the Fulu Sect moved closer to the Shinto, the founder of the Maoshan Sect even had the blood of a real dragon and had already become a real dragon, and was also very close to the East China Sea, the Waidan Sects were almost as close to the Li Dao as a family, and the Xianshi Sect went to the human world to become a noble.

Everyone played their own games, except for the ultimate goal, that is, "eternal life and freedom", the others were completely unrelated and they didn't know each other.

They truly implemented the principle of "I practice mine, it has nothing to do with you."

Li Qi continued to post, and Lu Jian also smiled and continued to answer, pointing Li Qi in the direction, and talking about some interesting things that happened in Huliang.

Li Qi wanted to say a few more words to this new acquaintance, Brother Lu Jian, but the other party seemed to have lost interest. The previous fate seemed to be a consumable, and it was used up. Unconsciously, Li Qi suddenly found that the other party had disappeared.

It wasn't a sudden disappearance, but it was like chatting on a social software. Everyone was very happy, but after a while, his avatar turned gray.

On the dirt road in the forest, Li Qi scratched his head and said unconfidently: "Uh... did I make him unhappy?"

With no one else around, Shen Shuibi had the courage to speak. She took Li Qi's hand and said: "Maybe this is just going on a whim and returning on a whim. He got interested because he saw us, and now that his interest is gone, he naturally left."

"Really... cool." Li Qi shook his head: "It's really the style of a Taoist." He sighed.

When thinking about this, Li Qi suddenly shuddered.

Wait, is this dangerous?

He immediately looked at Shen Shuibi and said worriedly: "If the people in the Taoist sect are really like this, you won't be 'excited' to me one day, right?"

Shen Shuibi pinched Li Qi when she heard this and said angrily: "We are just casual acquaintances with Senior Lu Jian, but you and I are sharing life and death and the road of Taoism. You are telling me this now?"

As if she was not satisfied with the pinch, she leaned on Li Qi's shoulder and bit him, leaving a tooth mark.

After that, she shrank directly into her original form, turning into a rabbit wearing a skirt, with runes constantly coming out, with two ears covering her eyes, and no longer paying attention to Li Qi.

Li Qi held the rabbit in his hands and tried to comfort her, but she drooped her ears and refused to continue talking from beginning to end.

Old Ma couldn't help but chuckle in his collar, but the sound of his laughter was a little loud, and Li Qi heard it and pulled him out and beat him up.

Little guy, can't I beat you if I can't beat the rabbit?

Amidst the fighting and quarreling, the group finally arrived at the 'Immortal Road'.

Li Qi used to be called Hu Liang, but now he knows that this way of traveling in Taoism is called Xianlu, which sounds pretty good.

He held Shen Shuibi and watched the operation of Xianlu from the side, watching one traveler after another go to the place they need on Xianlu.

Li Qi watched for a whole hour, and Lao Ma fell asleep on his shoulder. He really couldn't understand why Li Qi was so idle, watching people coming and going at the station entrance.

But Li Qi saw a lot of things that made him think deeply.

He found that there were no restrictions to starting Xianlu, and anyone could go, but they needed to consciously replenish the consumed energy and damaged equipment.

It doesn't matter if you don't replenish it, no one cares.

And through his observation, no one really cares, everyone is very busy, and they don't have the mood to care whether you are conscious or not.

It is just strange that although there is no supervision, Li Qi found that almost everyone completed this task consciously.

Li Qi previously thought that the loose organization of Taoism was "self-improvement", so he felt that it was a bit inappropriate.

After all, everyone knows that it is best to concentrate on doing big things. Everyone supervises each other, and through the system and the norms of the masses, a good social cycle can be built.

The Taoist idea of ​​"I am the greatest in the world", "I do whatever I want, no one can control me", "I cultivate my immortality, you go away", in Li Qi's opinion, is quite irresponsible. At the same time, he also believes that the loose organizational form of Taoism is the evil result of this mentality.

However, after such observation, he found that self-improvement does not seem to be that simple.

The main reason is that these Taoist practitioners have truly achieved "self-improvement".

What is self-improvement?

Good means perfection. Self-improvement means to improve oneself alone and silently. Although it is also isolated from the world, the essence is to improve oneself.

Everyone is so far away from each other, but because they are "keeping themselves well", they maintain a special balance.

This reminds Li Qi of a sentence he heard before, which was also said by a Taoist elder.

The sentence is: "If you lose a hair to benefit the world, you will not give it; if the whole world serves you, you will not take it. If everyone does not lose a hair, and everyone does not benefit the world, the world will be governed."

I will not pull out a hair from me to benefit the world, but I will not take everything in the world.

I just need to do my best.

When everyone does their best, everyone has achieved the level of "the whole world serves you, and you don't take it", no one will take advantage of anyone, just like this immortal road, no one will think of taking advantage of the immortal road.

Chickens and dogs know each other, but they never interact with each other, but they keep themselves well, and everyone improves themselves silently.

Everyone is far away, but they do their own things well, and they can still build a peaceful and perfect society.

Li Qi was thoughtful, and felt that he had realized something. No one would harm a single cent, and no one would harm the world. It seemed that this kind of "self-improvement" was not without merit?

After standing for more than an hour, Li Qi nodded slightly and whispered: "The true nature is not disturbed, the myriad attachments are not attached, and there is no coming and going. This is called "cultivation". If you can achieve this, you can indeed see its "truth."

After speaking, he strode forward and started the immortal road.
