Chapter 850 There Is No Falsehood in This World
At this moment, on Li Qi's side.
Li Qi was dealing with the affairs of the Dream City, preparing to uproot the many arrangements of the Demon Dao here, but he was still a little worried.
Letting Li Shiwei be a bait and actively exposing her weaknesses so that the Demon Dao could "take advantage of the opportunity" was originally part of the plan.
However, after all, he was a little worried.
"Alas." He sighed.
"Why, do you still think that doing these things is meaningless?" Jing Wuzhen asked.
She almost understood Li Qi's attitude. In Li Qi's eyes, as long as the Demon Lords come back, what is being done now will be changed back immediately, which is equivalent to not doing it.
Meaningless.
But Jing Wuzhen is different. She thinks that no matter what, it is meaningful.
"No, I don't think these are meaningless now." Li Qi shook his head and said so.
"Oh? Is it the result of that epiphany?" Jing Wuzhen was curious.
For the fourth-grade, what they insist on is not so easy to change. Li Qi's sudden change of attitude is probably related to that epiphany.
Li Qi sighed and said, "Yes, it has something to do with that epiphany. By the way, do you know 'sequence'?"
"Sequence is the order in which things happen, right?" Jing Wuzhen was a little confused.
Li Qi put down the work in his hands, looked at Jing Wuzhen, and said, "In this universe, for the powerful, everything is actually nothingness, and it has been like this since the beginning. Think about it... the universe itself is something that was born out of nothingness."
"The birth of this universe has no purpose, and our existence has no purpose. The existence of all things has no innate definition or 'mission', so... we need to follow the Tao, because we must have a goal to live."
To live, we must have a goal.
This goal can be the very empty 'living', or it can be the appetite or other desires driven by pure instinct, or it can be a noble journey of following the Tao.
But it doesn't matter, these goals are essentially the same, they are all the power given to themselves by higher wisdom, looking for a reason for their own survival.
Life is meaningless, what is meaningful is ourselves.
Humanity reinforces this view, believing that everything is meaningless, only "people" are meaningful, so humanity will regard things outside of "people" as resources.
This is not discrimination, it is due to a very realistic reason, that is, this universe is indeed meaningless, and the meaning is given to this universe by "people", so this universe should naturally be defined by "people".
From this perspective, you will find that the logic of humanity is actually quite smooth.
Of course, in the nine lands of the world, there is no family whose logic is not smooth. Each Taoist "Tao" has many books and wise men who prove these from various angles, but... these smooth logics, once they collide with each other, conflicts will arise.
"So, what does this have to do with time sequence?" Jing Wuzhen didn't quite understand what Li Qi was sighing about.
Li Qi raised a finger: "Think about it, this world is empty and meaningless, so what is the only thing that exists?"
"According to the magic path, the only thing that exists is the 'subjective will' itself, which is indisputable, and everything else can be questioned. Similar views are held by Buddhism and Taoism."
"Buddhism talks about 'emptiness', Taoism talks about 'truth', and the Taoist saying of 'primordial spirit and consciousness' emphasizes that consciousness knows but does not keep, and the primordial spirit's true nature is mobilized to achieve the state of 'inaction and truth everywhere', which is the 'Supreme Way', and the only supreme way is real, and the rest are all derivatives."
"And Buddhism says that the four elements are empty, and there is no limit to the emptiness. This world is originally empty, and sentient beings need to realize this, and then still recognize their own significance in the nothingness, which is It is ‘enlightenment’. ”
“Spiritual Taoism is similar, but Spiritual Taoism recognizes the existence of other thoughts, and proves the ‘existence of public language’ through the ‘non-existence of private language’, and then confirms the existence of other subjective consciousnesses, and builds a world of ‘pure thinking’. ”
“At the same time, according to the human way, all things in this world are real, but only after ‘people’ give them meaning, these things can be separated from the abyss of meaninglessness. ”
“And the witch way is similar. The witch way recognizes the truth of this world, and also recognizes that every higher wisdom has the power to interpret and recognize this world. All of this is integrated into ‘nature’ itself. ”
Li Qi narrated what each Taoist school considered ‘real’ in this world of nothingness.
These may not be the true meaning of the major Taoist schools, but they are indeed what Li Qi has realized at this stage.
Li Qi continued: “Each Taoist school has its own ‘real’ things, but all these ‘real’ things have something in common behind them. ”
Yes, Li Qi has realized it. He had already noticed this when he had an epiphany last time.
All the ‘truth’ mentioned above, even including the ‘absolute subjectivity’ of the magic path, is built on a solid foundation.
“This foundation is ‘time sequence’.”
“Everything must be based on the premise of ‘what happened’.”
“When a world is born, even if it is traced back, it has been born.”
"A perfect love, even if it is erased from the source, has happened, and the story will not disappear. It is like a game where you can choose different routes, even if you choose a certain route at the beginning, when you Going back to the beginning of the game and starting a new story doesn’t mean that what happened before has never happened.”
"Everything is fixed by 'time sequence', isn't it? The reality of all these is based on 'time sequence'."
Li Qi said this to Jing Wuzhen.
This kind of communication is actually quite dangerous, because it is equivalent to discussing the "Tao" with the other party. If the "Tao" matches, you may become a close friend, but if you don't agree with each other, you may get into a fight.
However, Li Qi's words obviously aroused Jing Wuzhen's interest.
She was also lost in thought.
Although for martial arts, it seems useless to think about these things, after all, it is the fourth level, and stupidity is also relative to the fourth level.
"Interesting... Is this the path you plan to take next?" Jing Wuzhen thought for a while and then gave up. This did not coincide with her way, and of course, it was not against it, so she was a little indifferent.
"Well, if it works." Li Qi said.
"It sounds very powerful, but there is a question, why are you so obsessed with pursuing 'commonality'?" Jing Wuzhen looked at Li Qi curiously.
She was really a little confused. Judging from the power Li Qi showed, Li Qi had been pursuing the 'commonality' between various orthodoxy. This was actually quite thankless.
Why pursue commonality? Many orthodox traditions are inherently incompatible with each other. Blindly pursuing commonalities is a gamble in itself and will make the inner world unstable.
However, only Li Qi himself knows...
To say that he is unstable, his inner world is basically a bomb.
"Why? Then why do you want to go to martial arts again?" Li Qi asked.
"Me? Well... I didn't think about it that much." Jing Wuzhen shook his head: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I started practicing boxing at the age of three. I became good at boxing at the age of seventeen and practiced swordsmanship. I practiced swordsmanship at thirty-five, and then I just walked all the way, never thinking about why, and there is no need to have a why. There is no use in thinking too much, it will only increase annoyance. "
"It's very consistent with martial arts." Li Qi nodded.
The way of martial arts requires sincerity.
Honest to the heart, honest to oneself, pure but powerful.
Martial arts is not a complicated system. The birth of martial arts has a very simple purpose, that is: "fighting".
Whether it is conquest or protection, the essence is to fall into the simplest behavior, that is, fighting, and martial arts is to carry out fighting to the extreme.
They learn the concept of fighting and practice fighting skills. Everything they do and pursue is just for the battle itself and to win victory in the battle.
This is also the reason why people with complicated minds generally don’t practice martial arts.
If you are too smart, you will think about ‘why you fight’. When you start thinking about this question, any answer is possible.
You may very well be led to other orthodox traditions by this answer.
However, Li Qi heard that among high-ranking martial artists, after they had thought about this answer, they still insisted on martial arts itself.
Jing Wuzhen should be like this. They don't care about the truth of the world, and they also know that the world itself has no purpose. For them, if they can use the fighting ability mastered by martial arts to implement their own thoughts and survive in this world, then Will suffice.
Just like this dream city, Li Qihui was thinking about how to change it, how to 'cure the root cause' and 'change the path', but for Jing Wuzhen, it was just like the purpose of her coming here in the first place...
She just came to make trouble, and meeting Li Qi was an accident. Since she can make trouble better with Li Qi's help, she doesn't mind. As for more things... why bother to think about it, it's not important.
This kind of person should be the nemesis of evil. People who think too much will have more evil thoughts.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Then let's do things first. Since the timing will not change and what happened happened, then the so-called 'treating the symptoms' is absolutely meaningful."
"That's right, it seems you have figured it out." Jing Wuzhen was slightly excited: "Your previous thoughts were too nihilistic, it's better to be down-to-earth. You people just think too much and do too little. "
"That's so well said...I think too much and do too little. Thank you for your guidance." Li Qi stood up, bowed as a disciple, and accepted these words.
Indeed.
Li Qi thinks too much. He is thinking about those things all the time, many conspiracies, calculations, and various deductions, but he rarely really interferes with something. He has always been a bystander. The angle is high and high.
Because he knows that this world is nothingness, and changing some things is actually meaningless, so he will not change it. After all... Suppose now that a third-level person comes, with a wave of his hand, the dream city will return to its original state. look.
Everything is in vain, and what they do is actually meaningless. Li Qi realizes this, so he has no motivation to change.
If everything that happens is so illusory and just a phantom, how can you give people the motivation to change the world?
If it's a phantom you like, then that's fine. But if you don't know the phantom, it's normal to not care about it.
This sentence is indeed correct, but...
After realizing the ‘timing’, it is no longer necessarily the case.
What happens is what happens.
That is not a phantom. Even if everything is repeated, it is real. What happened has happened, and everything is real.
Once upon a time, Li Qi had wondered about one thing, and that was...how a super-light future war like the War between Humans and Witches would be fought. (See Chapter 631 for details)
For example, a third-grade person received a bunch of information about a future war and obtained war data from it. They planned to change the future and completely modify the past, so that the war would never happen...
So, what to do with this information?
Disappear suddenly? Now you have data for a future war that will never happen. So where did the information about that war come from?
At that time, Li Qi was only at the fifth level and was confused about this.
He was so horrified by the power of the second grade that he couldn't understand it at all. It was too unbelievable to infiltrate information from the future into the past.
Although manipulating time and space on this scale seems to be of great benefit to war.
But in fact, Li Qi also knew that humanity also had this ability, so this resulted in the War of Human Witches not being shortened, but reaching a stalemate and prolonging it.
The deeper the object of manipulation, the more complex the manipulation itself becomes. Sometimes a decision will affect many people. With just a wave of their hands, trillions of people may disappear, or in other words——
Let these people never exist and never will exist.
After reaching the fourth level, Li Qi had already understood the mystery of reality. He already knew that it was not so mysterious.
In fact, it can be explained by common sense.
If this kind of super-light communication causes a space-time conflict, then so be it.
In fact, nothing strange will happen, it's just that some information suddenly appears out of thin air, and this kind of information occurs or is erased anytime and anywhere in the universe.
For beings with reality, they can produce this information anytime and anywhere, although this information can easily affect the external world.
So this information is meaningless and can be rewritten anytime and anywhere.
But now, Li Qi's understanding of this is even deeper.
Every bit of this information is true.
They are all real. (End of chapter)
