Chapter 517 Conversation
After understanding the 'cultivation' of Taoism, what is true nature, and what is self-isolation, Li Qi sighed while activating the Immortal Road. Through the Immortal Road, he instantly crossed a huge distance, from Huliang to Penglai.
Knowing the situation of Daomen, his expectation for Penglai has disappeared, but he still has a considerable degree of curiosity.
After all, this is Penglai.
The poem goes: Penglai is well-known in both modern and ancient times, but there is no place to find it in the vast mist. The sea is long and the wind is so strong that Penglai Island is invisible.
This is the most mysterious place of Taoism, and it is also the real core.
It is recorded in the book Li Qi had read: "Penglai is facing the northeastern coast of the East China Sea, going back five thousand miles. Outside there is a round sea surrounding the mountains. The round sea water is black, so it is called the Underworld Sea. There is no wind but huge waves hundreds of feet. No communication is allowed.”
Stepping out of the immortal road, Li Qi looked around.
All around, there is a piece of black sea water, which seems to be floating in the Bei Quezhu Palace. There are groups of monsters tumbling, Feng Yi waves are stirring, the clouds are vast and howling, the roaring whales are rushing into the sky, Penglai is also there!
But suddenly I saw the wind in the sky, shining brightly on the sun and the moon, and a ray of light descended, illuminating the misty terraces and misty clouds in the fairy palace. Among them, I saw the flying luan and the phoenix, the egret and the heron wandering, the high and low Kui worshiped, and the tiger chased after me.
Compared to the unattended Huliang, Penglai still cannot compare to the magnificence of Chang'an, but the natural terrain here is amazing enough. The surrounding sea area is called the "Sea of the Underworld". . The whole world is black, its waves are hundreds of feet high, and there are countless sea beasts scurrying in the rolling waves, which is extremely dangerous.
And in the black sea water, a pure white fairy mountain is suspended above it.
Black and white support each other, just like the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram, blending together in perfect harmony.
That is Penglai, near the Fairy Mountain, with countless flying peaks circulating around. There are no special decorations inside, but... there are many, many, many, many treasures.
It's really a lot.
The Taoist sect's various magical instruments, palaces, formations, gardens of Yao Ying, treasure urns and grand pictures, elixirs, incense and seals lingering, Yuyi and green chariots on the road, thousands of pearls and branches shining brightly, countless treasures seem to be revealed from here.
There is no "artistic flavor" to these, and it even smells a bit like Zhu Fengdan, which is just a bunch of good things piled on top of it.
However, what is better than Zhu Fengdan is that these treasures have been processed accordingly, so although the treasure light can be seen, they will not affect each other.
It seems... Penglai is much richer than Huliang.
Also, Huliang is just a station and has a small permanent population, but Penglai is the base camp. It must have a lot of secrets, and the core magic weapon of the Taoist sect may be placed here.
Just thinking about it makes me crazy.
Shen Shuibi also forgot to get angry with Li Qi at this moment. Her real body pricked up her ears and widened her eyes, looking at the Penglai Immortal Island at this moment.
As a member of the Taoist sect, it is impossible to say that I have no ideas about Penglai.
That's Penglai. In the Taoist saying, the four words "to and from Penglai" are used to describe those who have achieved Taoism.
That is to say, if you are very powerful, you can travel to and from Pengying, and you can come and go here at will.
Peng is Penglai and Ying is Yingzhou.
The three islands of Daomen are Penglai, Yingzhou, and Huliang. Huliang is a station. Not to mention the small permanent population, the remaining two are the real core.
When she came to Penglai, she also paid great attention to it.
Therefore, she transformed into a human form, no longer making trouble, but pulled Li Qi and said: "Li Qi, let's go in."
"Yes." Li Qi nodded, and the two of them walked in hand in hand.
Lao Ma lay quietly on Li Qi's shoulder and continued to pretend to be dead.
You can't talk at this time, or you'll get beaten.
————————
Li Qi and others boarded Penglai, wanting to find a place to sit down and wait for the Demon Prince to start.
However, what they didn't expect was that just after they landed on the island, they saw a black figure standing on the coast of Penglai, on the edge of the black ocean.
He wears a black cloak with gold embroidery on it, a dark robe with some faintly shining seal characters, a black jade mask, and a black golden tiger jade pendant hanging around his waist.
He limped and leaned on his cane, slowly walking towards Li Qi.
It was the Demon Prince.
He walked up to Li Qi and said to Li Qi and Shen Shuibi in a familiar voice: "Hello... Li Qi, and Shen Shuibi, we meet again. I'm very happy. I didn't expect you to really come. "
His mask completely concealed his expression, but there was clearly a smile in his voice.
The Demon Prince seemed to be in a good mood.
"What do you mean by 'unexpectedly coming'? Since the Demon Prince wrote a letter to invite him, how could he not come? After all, the Demon Prince has very few friends, and I can barely count myself as one. If I don't come, who else can Are you here to cheer me up?" Li Qi immediately handed over and replied with a smile.
Shen Shuibi slightly nodded at the Demon Prince, and then hid behind Li Qi. Once they entered social mode, their roles would be reversed.
Li Qi will start talking good, and Tutu will start pretending to be dead.
"Haha, but my reputation is not very good. To be precise, the reputation of the entire Demonic Path is not good." The Demon Prince said, then he found a rock, sat down, and put his staff across his knees.
Even if he is already at level seven, his lameness will still have a certain impact on his movements, so he probably prefers to sit and talk.
Li Qi naturally also sat down with Shen Shuibi, and then said: "Of the nine places in the world, which place has a better reputation?"
"Humanity is strong and overbearing and goes to war everywhere, spirituality lives in isolation and does not care about worldly affairs, demons are a mixed bag of fish and dragons, good and bad are mixed, real dragons are aggressive and bloodthirsty and like to promote fights and fights, witches are secretive and mysterious, Taoism is arrogant and indifferent, and Buddhism is everywhere The Shinto regards all living beings as food for ants, and the Demonic Dao is one of the nine places in the world, so it is normal for it to have a bad reputation," Li Qi said with great emotional intelligence.
"Well, there is some truth in what you said. It's just that the Demonic Way is a little different from the other eight Taoist traditions. After all, the foundation of our Taoism is the suffering of the world. The devil likes to play with the world, and the devil of troubles feeds on the heart of the Tao. Five The evil spirit obstructs people's sight and hearing, and the evil spirit of death wants to push the world into death."
"The devil is a path that is parasitic on other paths, taking away wisdom and life, and destroying the merits and virtues of the path. That's why it is called a devil. Our reputation is particularly bad." The devil prince said without any taboo.
Yes, this is the fundamental reason why the devil is hostile.
When it comes to scandals and scandals, all the great sects are pretty much the same, so why is the devil's path particularly resisted, and even the four demons who are the ancestors of the devil's path are expelled from the world?
This is because the foundation of the Demonic Path is actually the foundation of other Dao systems.
The Tao foundation of the Demon of Trouble is built on the troubles of all living beings. Damaging the Taoist mind of others is his way of practice. The same is true for the Demon of Five Aggregates, and the Demon of Death is even more extreme.
Even Li Qi knew it, because Buddhism preached the horror of the dead demon everywhere, and those Buddhas, through Buddhist scriptures and other monks who preached, made public the method of transcending the dead demon.
The Death Demon, the way to transcend the first level, and his opportunity for the great avenue, is to destroy everything known, everything will die, and even reincarnation itself will be completely extinct.
In this way, the path to death can be achieved.
This is undoubtedly a declaration of war against all existences in the heavens and the world. The Buddhas directly made it public and tried to stifle the path of the dead demon. This was considered a huge hatred.
"It's blocking the road..." Li Qi sighed, looked up at the sky, and was speechless for a moment.
Seeing him like this, the Demon Prince chuckled: "I understand that things that hinder the path are everywhere, not just the Demonic Path. Even the Demonic Path itself is also blocked everywhere. For example, the previous Death Demon was blocked by all kinds of things. Heaven hinders, and at the same time hinders all heavens. If the two sides of things are successfully reconciled, then one can go a step further, but if the raw materials are not enough, how can one reconcile them?"
As he spoke, the Demon Prince stretched out his hand and looked at the palm of his hand. In the palm of his hand, his palm prints spread out.
If there is someone who is good at divination and fortune-telling, you can see that in his palm prints, the ground lines are snake-shaped, with a little trace at first, and then gradually become lighter, wider, and lighter in color.
This is a dangerous sign of premature death.
According to the prediction of this palm print, he should have died long ago.
Li Qi looked at the Demon Prince and knew what he was thinking about.
The body of an ordinary person is divided into yin and yang, which are the basic components of all things in the world. The path of yin and yang is a road to the sky, and the path of the sun and the moon is an important part of it.
But there is only Yang Qi in the Demon Prince's body, and no Yin Qi at all, so he does not have "two sides", he only has one side.
Therefore, there is no such thing as reconciling yin and yang. This must be a hurdle in his future.
At this time, Li Qi said: "Why bother to reconcile? Since everything has two sides, then the existence of one side means that the other side already exists."
The Demon Prince turned his head and glanced at Li Qi.
Then, he nodded: "Yes, everything on the road is an obstacle, and it may also be a help. Unexpectedly, Li Qi, you see this more clearly than me. Although you are cowardly, you are indeed O wise man.”
"As friends, let's give each other some advice. Your words inspired me a lot. Your wisdom is indeed better than mine, but in terms of bravery, you are weaker than me." The Demon Prince seemed unhappy. He was used to receiving favors from others, so after being reminded by Li Qi, he immediately offered to repay the favor.
Li Qi wanted to decline politely, but when he heard the other party mentioned courage, he immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.
This is indeed his most serious problem at present, and it is also the reason why Zhu Fengdan wants to force him. If he can get the answer from the Demon Prince, then Shen Shuibi's matter may be solved.
"You are too smart and your perception is too strong. Standing in front of you, I can still feel a strong gaze on me and everything around me, as if wanting to incorporate all information into your "Head, so much information makes you cautious," the Demon Prince said.
What he said was almost exactly the same as Zhu Fengdan, which made Li Qi admire him a little.
Being able to make the same judgment as a great Zhu is enough to prove that the Demon Prince's insights and suggestions are worthy of attention.
"So, my suggestion to you is to take off your Daoyun and experience the feeling of being a 'blind man'." The Demon Prince said, and then he pointed at himself: "I don't have any innate Daoyun. I also found the bamboo stick later.”
"Compared with you, the proud men of heaven, I have nothing, and even I am still very deficient, but this does not prevent me from walking up step by step. Maybe you should experience the feeling of a mortal, so that you can know what it means to be brave. ." The Demon Prince suggested to Li Qi calmly.
Take it off and really know the rhyme? Li Qi was stunned.
He had never thought of such a thing.
After all, he has long been accustomed to knowing rhyme, just like a person is accustomed to having eyes.
This habit has been rooted in the heart, just like when a person opens his eyes, he can see things as a matter of course. If he can't see, he will be scared to death.
Li Qi is similar. If he really knows that the rhyme has disappeared, his first reaction will definitely be scared to death. No one would think of finding a time to remove his eyeballs, right?
As the Demon Prince spoke, he supported his chin with his fingers and shook his head slightly: "Well, removing the innate Dao rhyme seems too painful for you. So, I know a demon cultivator from the Five Elements Demon lineage who is good at covering the mind with evil spirits. If you trust him, you can ask him to cover your Dao rhyme."
"Covering Dao rhyme... can this be done?" Li Qi was a little surprised.
"Everything is always connected. The essence of the senses is to detect and return. As long as the process can be terminated, it will be fine, and the Five Elements Demon lineage is best at this." The Demon Prince said so.
The essence of the senses is to detect and return. For example, the eyes see the photons emitted by the outside world, and the ears perceive mechanical waves.
Illusion is actually to make you detect the wrong things, and the Five Elements Demon is more advanced. He directly tampered with your receiving end, so that you will see different things.
And if the receiving end directly blocks the true rhyme, it can indeed make Li Qi lose this sense.
"Maybe, it's feasible." At this time, Shen Shuibi, who pretended to be dead, suddenly spoke.
It involved Li Qi, and she actually talked to a stranger.
Li Qi turned his head to look at her, and the eyes of the Demon Prince also turned to Shen Shuibi.
The Demon Prince knew this person. It was this woman who came to save Li Qi in hell.
But Shen Shuibi didn't care about the gaze, but continued to say: "There is only one question, can the person you called really be trusted?"
Tampering with the Five Elements is equivalent to letting others perform surgery on you. If you don't trust them, who dares to operate on others casually?
"Well... I do have this concern. Then let's do this. You wait for me for a while. After a period of time, my foundation should be established. When I am promoted to the sixth grade, I will have the ability to operate the Five Elements. I should be trustworthy, right?" The Demon Prince said so.
Li Qi nodded. Indeed, if he hadn't been reminded, he would have forgotten it.
The Demon Prince was actually a practitioner of the Four Meridians. He possessed all the characteristics of the Demonic Path.
