Chapter 523 Time Flies

In the sky of a wild land of Lingxiao Country, under the layer of strong wind, Li Qi was talking about something with the Lord of Lingxiao Country.

This was also the purpose of coming here.

Li Qi wanted to ask the Lord of Lingxiao Country about Buddhism.

If he had time, he wanted to go to the West to take a look.

Among the people he knew, the one who had the greatest relationship with Buddhism was naturally the Lord of Lingxiao Country, who had grown up on the temple wall of the White Horse Temple when he was young.

Oh, no, that's not quite accurate. Among the people he knew, the one who had the greatest relationship with the West should be the Heavenly Demon.

After all, he was the old enemy of the Buddha. When the Buddha became enlightened in the past, the Heavenly Demon personally stopped him and tried to destroy the Buddha's heart of Taoism in three ways. These three methods were desire, violence, and the last one, which is still being implemented now, using a substitute.

The first two methods failed. The Buddha resisted the chaos of the entire desire world, proving that there was no demonic thought in his heart. He also used his magical powers to fight against the Heavenly Demon and all the demon armies under his command. So the Buddha became enlightened, and the Heavenly Demon did not stop him.

But the last method is still effective today.

The demons will mix the demonic path into the Buddhist path, let the demons wear robes, enter the monks openly, wear robes, misinterpret the Buddhist scriptures, distort the Buddhist path, and finally make the Buddha and the demons mix into one.

Therefore, it is said: "The demon king Poxun is also like this, he takes the image of a monk, a nun, a upasaka, and a upasika, and also transforms into a Sotapanna, and even into an Arhat and a Buddha body. The demon king uses this leaky form to make an unleaked body, destroying the Buddha's true Dharma, destroying the Buddha, the Buddha, and the Sangha. In the future, the demon will transform into a monk, enter the monks, and preach all kinds of evil. Make many sentient beings enter the evil view and preach the evil Dharma."

The demons take the image of a monk, a nun, an upasaka, and an upasika, and also transform into a Sotapanna, and even into an Arhat and a Buddha body.

Bhikkhus and nuns are ordinary monks.

Upasakas and upasikas are believers of the Buddha.

Sotapanna is the fruition of Buddhism and the precursor of Arhat fruition. Many monks are in this position.

The Arhat body is naturally easy to understand. From Sotapanna to Arhat, the Arhat fruition is achieved.

The Buddha's body is naturally needless to say, that is, it has become a Buddha.

The demon will be transformed into the lowest level believers, ordinary monks, practitioners, and even the enlightened Buddha may be transformed by the demon.

It directly told the Buddha its purpose, and then led the crowd away with a big laugh.

So, strictly speaking, the demon and Buddhism are the closest, because they can even be said to be one in the mixture of so many years.

For example, the lineage of Monk Chanzhi...

However, Li Qi went to the West to find hidden cards and... all ways to restrain the demons, so the Lord of Lingxiao still understands it better.

Hearing Li Qi's question, the Lord of Lingxiao was slightly stunned, then stretched out his hand to cover his lips and chuckled softly: "What are you going to do to ask about the West Heaven?"

Li Qi saw her performance and immediately understood.

This is also a sensitive topic for the Lord of Lingxiao, and it is not something that can be told to others casually. Li Qi had better make everything clear, otherwise, the Lord of Lingxiao might not say it.

So, Li Qi said: "Last time, I was infected by the Five Elements Demon Blood and had some involvement with the Demonic Path, so I want to go to the West Heaven to find a way to suppress the Demonic Path. Please give me some advice, Lord."

"Oh, so that's the case. If I hide it, I'm afraid the Lord will hate me to death. Then please come close and I will tell you in detail. There is just one thing, I hope you remember it." The Lord of Lingxiao said so.

"What is it?" Li Qi knew that the other party was making a condition, so he readily agreed.

"As for the clan members, please say a few good words for me, young master. Lingxiao Country has just encountered a great disaster and its national destiny has been robbed. I have recently been considering grabbing more worlds from outside the domain to subsidize it. However, after all, I am only a fifth-grade person and I am unable to split myself. If the clan members have other arrangements, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue. If you can give me a call..." Lingxiao King said here and looked at Li Qi.

And Li Qi smiled: "The clan members are strict, and there is no need to think about things like backdoors. Although Wushen Mountain is not as strict as the human world, it also has its own set of rules, otherwise it will be a mess. However... If the king just needs resources, I have another way."

"Another way?" Lingxiao King blinked his eyes, and then said: "Please speak frankly, young master, Lingxiao is all ears."

"I also have some industries outside the domain, and I am preparing to expand recently. My wife is still compiling the corresponding formation. This is the formation I got from the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord. If the king is in urgent need of food recently, you might as well try it." Li Qi said.

When the Lord of Lingxiao heard this, he chuckled: "If you have this intention, then it is naturally good. It is also a good thing to join in. I believe that you will not lose anything with your ability. Let's do it. However, I have another suggestion to make to you."

"Oh? There are no outsiders here, but you can say it." Li Qi nodded.

Hearing this, the Lord of Lingxiao looked at Shen Shuibi, and then looked at the old horse who was pretending to be dead below.

No outsiders...

Hmm...

OK.

The Lord of Lingxiao continued: "My suggestion is that if you want to develop the outer domain, with your identity and current strength, you might as well join the Devouring Demon Lord. The Demon Lord has also been in the outer domain recently. I heard that he and the Lord have some misunderstandings, but now everyone is in the same direction, why not join forces?"

"When our respective kings join forces, our power will inevitably increase, and we will be able to reach more world groups. However, in the past, we had different identities, and it was easy to get into trouble if we were too arrogant. Now that we have the endorsement of the young master, there are more places where we can reach out. So As a result, in a hundred years at most, the territory we can control will probably exceed 100,000 worlds, and even if we reach the sixth level, there will be at least seven or eight worlds. What do you think, Master?"

It is indeed a good idea to endorse Li Qi's identity, and then the kings of the country will work, and everyone will share the profits. Anyway, there is no fear of causing trouble.

But Li Qi shook his head: "No, I can't trust Tuntian, nor can I trust other kings. Of course, the purpose of expanding the world is for material resources, but we must not lose our original intention because of this. Their methods are too cruel, and the power of refining the world must not be lost." I don’t like the method either. No, I have no intention of refining the way of heaven in any world. I just want to get what I need.”

"If the king can accept it, then I think we can cooperate happily, because I know that the king was born in a temple and should be charitable in his heart. He will not be as cruel as Tuntian. I can trust the king to cooperate with him. But he is extremely reluctant to cooperate with Tuntian. You and I both know that no one in Baiyue can control him. "

After Li Qi finished speaking, he looked at Lord Lingxiao, waiting for his answer.

"It turns out that the young master can't trust Tun Tian. I am really lucky to win the young master's heart. In this case, it doesn't matter. I agreed. I also asked the young master to send me a letter when he wants to take action. However, I will definitely tell you what the young master wants to know." Lord Lingxiao nodded, and the deal was concluded.

It seemed that she and Li Qi had to rely on transactions to do things, and there was never any talk of personal relationships. Perhaps this was due to the personality of the Lord of Lingxiao.

Next, there was a conversation across a distance. The Lord of Lingxiao refused to get close to Li Qi. He just talked from a distance, talking about some precautions for going to the West, as well as the Lord Lingxiao's own connections.

These are very important, especially connections. When you go to a new place to do business, if you are not traveling, but you really want to do something, the help of some local people is definitely very important.

Including taboos in various places, intertwined forces, etc., Li Qi didn't think Xitian would be a good place.

Monk Zenzhi had already warned him. Coupled with his understanding of the demon, Xitian might be a huge demon nest.

It’s really hard to go if you’re not prepared.

This conversation lasted ten hours in total.

In ten hours, Li Qi got a lot of information about Xitian, which was enough.

So, bidding farewell to Lingxiao Flower God, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi set off again.

This time I was not going to delay on the road, and wandered all the way to Liesu.

After starting the journey, almost in a blink of an eye, I returned to the door of my cave.

How convenient.

Taking a deep breath, the rich spiritual energy is refreshing. Compared with any place in the world, Wushen Mountain has a better environment. After all, it is a place where stones can become spirits.

The old horse shrank in size and ran away in a flash. He was probably bored and looking for fun. He has always been lively and active, but this trip really made him bored.

Although he should feel that it was not a loss, after all, he saw the Demon Prince fighting against the Little Heavenly Master with his own eyes. This is not something that can be seen casually. The boredom of being on the road is just the ticket.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi glanced down the mountain. Everything was so peaceful and peaceful.

The village lives as always. The people in it are not as colorful as the lives of people in the Tang Dynasty, but they still have their own fun.

Li Qi also saw a young man with an eighth-level cultivation who had already packed his luggage and was saying goodbye to the villagers.

A passionate young man was unwilling to spend the rest of his life in this village, so after he had mastered his skills, he was ready to venture outside.

There is almost absolute freedom under the rule of Wushenshan, so there are also so-called "big cities", but they are relatively few, but there are more people from the outside world there, similar to those Dongyu Islands in the East China Sea, which are responsible for connecting and communicating with the outside world. , where, like Dongyu, you can see people from all walks of life and all walks of life.

This young man must also be going to a big city like that, maybe even farther away.

Um……

After seeing so much and understanding so many paths, I am still a wizard after all.

Thinking of this, Li Qi and Shen Shuibi walked into the cave and closed the door.

Next, do whatever you have to do.

——————————

In this way, time passes.

In the blink of an eye, seventy years have passed.

These seventy years were the most peaceful period in Li Qi's life.

For seventy years, he did almost nothing and devoted himself to cultivating himself.

What he does every day is study, practice, and occasional entertainment.

In the early days, he still had many thoughts, either laziness or something else, thinking about going out and doing something.

In short, my mind is impetuous, thinking about good things and bad things.

However, he used his self-control to suppress it and insisted on going to the library in Wushen Mountain every day to clean up, read and study day after day, increase his knowledge and learn skills.

Among these seventy years, the first decade

As a young master, almost all books and information are open to him, except those that are dangerous.

However, Wu Shenshan’s books are really vast.

It is not enough to describe it as vast and vast. Anyway, even if Li Qi had Zhen Zhiyun to help him recite the book, he would have read it eagerly for a whole ten years, but he found that he had not even finished reading a drop of water in the ocean.

Too many, too many.

Wushen Mountain does not need all books. The books that can be collected in the library are all very powerful books, which record magic, principles, analysis of Tao, prescriptions, notes, local chronicles, astronomy and geography, and knowledge from countless subjects, all piled there for people to use.

The knowledge in these books requires a person to spend his whole life to study and summarize, so that he can write it out. Even if he is an immortal, it is estimated that he needs to devote himself to it for many years to write one.

However, the number of books of this level is so large that Li Qi is numb.

It reflects from the side, how many people are there in Wushen Mountain?

Li Qi also saw a lot of sorted questions and the like in it, and the solutions are also very interesting. These things must be the "tickets" of Liexiu.

To use Liexiu, you need to help Liexiu solve a problem as a ticket.

In the heavens, the wisdom of countless people is just here, allowing Li Qi to absorb it.

For a bookworm like Li Qi, of course he would not let it go. It was these books that helped him suppress his wild thoughts.

After reading books for ten years, the restlessness in his heart has completely disappeared. He has realized how much he knows and how much he actually knows.

It is important for people to have self-knowledge. Obviously, Li Qi has it. After ten years of precipitation, he has become calm and no longer so impetuous.

Of course, Shen Shuibi also played a big role in it. During the ten years of getting along, Tutu taught Li Qi how to deal with a long time, how to persevere in doing one thing instead of insisting on a few years and wanting to give up irritably.

Adapting to a long life is something that needs to be learned, not something that can be done casually.

If a person directly obtains eternal life without adaptation and learning, he will probably be tortured by endless life to give up thinking.

After all, people need to have goals to live. Life without goals is like a game without any goals, which is extremely boring.

After the first ten years, Li Qi's heart calmed down.

In the second decade, Shen Shuibi found out she was pregnant.
