Myriad Paths

Chapter 749 The Devil Appears

The old man sat by the stump, with eye bags and bare chest, just like an ordinary old farmer.

If you don't read it, he is actually just an ordinary old farmer.

Li Qi walked in front of him and called again: "Chen Jilang."

Because he had called Chen Jilang's name before, but he didn't seem to hear it, Li Qi also realized that the other party's ears were not very good, so he increased his voice.

This time he heard it, raised his head with a puzzled look, and looked at Li Qi: "Young man, what?!"

He spoke loudly, obviously because of his hard of hearing.

"Chen Jilang, how do you think you are in this life?" Li Qi asked.

This question made Chen Jilang confused. Why did this young man who suddenly appeared ask such a strange question? This made him suspicious. He did not answer, but asked: "Young man, who are you? Why do you ask such a question?"

Li Qi smiled, waved his hand, and used magic to cover the surroundings so that outsiders could not see what was inside. Then he flicked it lightly, and saw strange phenomena around him. The wind was blowing, blowing sand and rocks, and the scenery changed suddenly between the dark clouds and white mist.

There were pavilions shaking, waterfalls and springs flowing, and the space around him expanded. When the pavilions rose, a beautiful pool appeared next to it, and a pleasure boat suddenly appeared under his feet. The smoke dissipated, the waves soaked the beautiful boat, the silver screen and the golden house, and the pool outside the pleasure boat also bloomed with many flowers, and the fragrance of flowers filled the body. Sometimes you can hear big fish jumping in the waves, and birds flying and singing on the shore. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden are bright and beautiful.

In just a moment, the surroundings have become a fairyland on earth.

Chen Jilang was stunned and immediately knew that he had met a fairy. He immediately stood up, knelt down repeatedly, and called the fairy, very excited.

Li Qi helped him up and said to him: "Get up and talk, Chen Jilang, how do you think about your life?"

Chen Jilang's mind immediately began to think a lot.

Unlike others, he liked to think about things since he was a child, and he thought about them very quickly. Unfortunately, the things he thought about were useless to reality. Although he always regarded himself as a "smart man" and could see through many things in advance, he could not change them.

An ordinary, slightly clever old man, this is the best interpretation of him.

And now, a fairy came to ask about his life!

Could it be that he had a fairy fate?

So, Chen Jilang immediately thought: "If I answer correctly, can I become a fairy?"

He had a very rich inner drama. Just with the appearance of Li Qi, he had already imagined what he would look like after becoming a fairy. At the same time, he was not idle, and was still thinking about what good or bad things he had done in his life to see if it could affect his becoming a fairy.

When he was a child, he was famous for being a child prodigy. He bullied his neighbor Zhang Daling's family. This should be considered a bad thing, right?

But he also earned a memorial archway for the village with his reputation. This is a tax reduction, isn't this a good thing?

Many memories flowed like water, and the good and bad things he had done in his life came to his mind. Chen Jilang began to consider which ones he could say? Which ones he couldn't say.

But, what can't be said, doesn't the immortal know? That's an immortal, he must know everything, look at this painted boat, it suddenly appeared, how incredible.

Should I say it or not? If I say it, I'm not a good person, but if I don't say it, the other party won't know?

Wait, what if the other party is just testing whether he is honest? At this time, he told everything honestly. Anyway, he didn't do anything harmful to the world. He felt that the most serious thing was to secretly look at the clothes that the widow Wang next door hung out to dry. At most, it was disrespectful to the elderly, so it should be okay, right?

Countless thoughts surged in Chen Jilang's heart, and all of them were seen by Li Qi.

All his thinking activities and mental movements were clearly seen by Li Qi.

Li Qi immediately realized that the other party's wisdom... had also begun to be covered with dust.

Regardless of whether this was the wisdom of Shariputra or other conjectures, the puppy's true spirit was indeed gradually covered with dust after experiencing three reincarnations.

The so-called wisdom is actually the ability to process information in essence.

Accepting information from the outside world, unraveling it, and then processing it into the content you need, this is the meaning of wisdom.

Knowledge and skills are not innate, but acquired through practice and learning. In other words, any skills and knowledge we master are also input by others or the outside world to people, but after integration and reorganization of our wisdom, they are used by me.

And now, after three lives in the world, Chen Jilang still has the ability to receive information, just like he recited poems when he was a child. People with high wisdom can easily remember a lot of information.

However, he has lost the ability to process and integrate information.

He remembered a lot of information, and he could even recall his childhood, but... this information was just stuck in his mind, unable to be smoothly output as useful information, and could not help him make effective decisions.

In this case, wisdom... might as well not be needed.

There are two situations in which people are the most mediocre.

One is when they know nothing, the most ignorant and ignorant stage.

The second is when they know everything and remember everything, but cannot process this information well, and can only let them pile up in their minds like garbage.

There is a disease called hyperthymesia, which is the ability to remember all the information from the outside world.

He remembered everything he said and did clearly. As long as he thought about it, the things that had happened would appear in his mind like a movie. Unfortunately, these memories were disorganized.

He could recall the knowledge in the books he had read, but it was difficult to understand. It was even more difficult to recall and extract knowledge points in the exam, and it was not easy to understand knowledge.

Because memory is not equal to understanding.

Swallowing memory in a hurry does not allow you to turn memory into knowledge. In other words, the food you eat must be digested to be nutritious. If it is not digested, it will only cause intestinal obstruction.

Only when the memory is completely broken down, abstracted, and understood can it be your own and applied to various places, and this process of collecting and disassembling is the embodiment of wisdom.

Li Qi only said one sentence, plus some mind reading, and he could see the problem at the moment.

Chen Jilang, his wisdom has lost half, so he is mediocre, that's it. The three reincarnations caused by Li Qi have caused problems for this unknown true spirit.

Seeing Chen Jilang hesitant, indecisive, not knowing what to say, but with a mess in his mind... Li Qi immediately made a decision.

First of all, no matter what, at this stage when Shariputra may have a demonic heart and Buddha nature is covered in dust, no matter whether the previous guess is right or wrong, wisdom must be preserved so as not to be completely lost.

And if he experiences the fourth reincarnation, it is hard to say whether he can awaken again.

Therefore, Li Qi decided that he could not let Chen Jilang die, and he must help him awaken the wisdom of his previous life.

Wisdom of the previous life... Tsk, it's a bit troublesome.

It is usually done when you are a minor to see through the mystery in the womb, but now he is already a centenarian, can he still do it?

Li Qi doesn't know, but he can try.

The method is very simple, just like in many myths and legends.

A mortal accidentally enters the mountains, sees a fairy, talks and communicates with the fairy, and then comes out of the mountain, but finds that hundreds of years have passed in the outside world without knowing it, and the mortal utensils in his hands have decayed.

So, Li Qi smiled and said to him: "It's just fate, so I asked the old man to talk about his life, that's all, come, let's eat and talk."

As he said, Li Qi clapped his hands.

Chen Jilang blinked his eyes, but found that there were many more maids around him.

These maids were like fairies, wearing green bird hairpins, pearl tassels, tassels, and dresses, shining with brocade and folds.

They came forward and moved, some of them brought wine to Chen Jilang and stood beside him.

Fruit plates, rice plates, wine cups, pots and bottles were placed.

All kinds of delicacies were presented one by one, which made this mortal old man stunned.

Li Qi picked up the wine glass and toasted him.

Chen Jilang quickly returned the gift and drank it all.

The banquet was filled with delicious food. A beautiful woman with new makeup and fragrant sleeves danced in the courtyard. She was dancing with a graceful figure and a zither.

Picking up a piece of delicious food with chopsticks, a strange taste filled his throat and tongue, and a spiritual light illuminated his lungs and liver.

A meal was like going to Tushita, singing and shouting to his heart's content. Chen Jilang had never seen such a scene before. He was immediately attracted and looked around, eating, drinking and watching, wishing he could grow two mouths, four hands and eight eyes.

All the things he had thought about before were naturally forgotten at this moment and disappeared.

Li Qi accompanied him to drink and drank 18 cups in a row, but he saw that Chen Jilang gradually became drunk. After a while, he fell asleep after eating and drinking.

Just after he fell asleep, he saw the maids, dancers, and singers around him, each of which changed with a bang. A closer look showed that they were mountain cats, wild foxes, and squirrels, revealing their true forms.

These are the local mountain spirits and wild monsters, who were ordered by Li Qi to come here to entertain guests. Now that the banquet is over, they naturally left.

Li Qi said: "You can go and clean up. The banquet items are your reward."

These mountain spirits and wild monsters thanked Li Qi one after another, and then hurriedly went to grab the plates, dishes, lamps, bowls, wine bottles and other things. These are all magic weapons with magical powers.

Li Qi ignored these, but walked to Chen Jilang's side and gently pressed his hand on his forehead.

Now that Chen Jilang fell asleep, let's dream... a thousand years.

Li Qi wanted to use his magical powers to stimulate his dreams, so that he could simulate reincarnation in his dreams. In this way, he would refresh the other party's wisdom and awaken his past wisdom.

Li Qi did what he said, and activated his magical powers and began to weave a dream.

This method should be effective, but the specific situation needs to be known after practice.

In the dream, Chen Jilang began to experience his new life.

In his perspective, everything began to change. He got up from the banquet and opened his eyes, only to find himself back in his childhood, in the cradle.

Is this... an opportunity given by the immortal?

So, he began his second life in a daze.

But outside...

After the banquet, everything was moved away by those mountain spirits and wild monsters, even the table was gone. After all, for them, even the leftovers were priceless treasures.

Being able to be ordered by Li Qi was an opportunity they could not ask for, and they could only encounter it once by sheer luck.

Li Qi sat next to Chen Jilang and experienced life with him.

Under Li Qi's arrangement, the dream gradually unfolded.

After a thousand years of dreaming, who can tell the difference between truth and falsehood? At least for Chen Jilang, all this is real.

In Li Qi's arrangement, he will continue to experience a new life, just like those protagonists who have unlimited rebirth ability, constantly trying new things.

In this process, he will not die, he will only continue to be tempered until he regains his wisdom in the past life, or shows that his wisdom disappears completely.

This illusion uses the means of the Five Elements Demon, the power of the Five Elements Demon, and Li Qi can now use it very skillfully.

However, at this moment-

Li Qi suddenly looked up and looked outside the barrier he arranged.

Outside, there stood a beautiful woman.

She had graceful eyebrows, a white dress, and her hair was hanging down, which was set off by the white dress, like ink splashed on the clouds. She was slender and tall, with a sword on her back, and she was heroic. When the wind blew, the white clothes fluttered and her hair fluttered in the wind. What a female swordsman.

But when he saw this person, Li Qi's mood sank and his expression immediately became serious.

Demonic energy.

The faint demonic energy has passed through his barrier and reached Li Qi's perception.

Heavenly demon!

"Li Qi, you rat!" The female swordsman looked angry and frowned, and it seemed that she had the tone and attitude of a warrior.

But the next moment, the female swordsman shook slightly and suddenly turned into a male monster.

That was-Ergou!

As a golden-winged bird, Ergou has now turned into a human form and greeted Li Qi, saying with a smile: "Senior Li Qi, do you still remember me? It was because of your arrangement that I became a demon. You see, I am now a demon and I came to find you again."

Listening to Ergou's words, Li Qi took a deep breath.

The real rhyme swept over the other party.

It can be confirmed that it is the real Ergou, not an illusion.

No! It may also be fake. The feeling of "it is real" may be made by the Heavenly Demon.

After all, this is the Heavenly Demon.

Li Qi did not dare to relax at all, and all the magic that could be activated in advance were ready.

However, the demon did not break in, but stood outside Li Qi's barrier, and continued to speak to Li Qi through the demonic energy that penetrated in: "What's wrong? Don't you want to talk?"

"That is to say... I guessed right, right? Shariputra was indeed split into three parts, namely Buddha nature, wisdom, and Tao heart. Now the true spirit of Buddha nature and Tao heart has been possessed by the devil because of my previous neglect, and fell into your hands, right?"

"Why, you won't take the last one? Or, you can't take it? You must use my hand to make Shariputra possessed by the devil?"

Li Qi stared at the other party and said so.
