Chapter 867: The Real Monkey
Desire Realm, in the void, at the bottom of a golden mountain.
Li Qi originally thought that when he came to the Desire Realm, he would encounter strange spirits, strange waves, and be washed in the sea of desire, facing the onlookers and gazes of many third-grade demons, and even a fight or something.
After all, he came to the Desire Realm to end his many connections with the demons, so that he could safely advance to the third grade and no longer be bound by the demons.
He expected various situations, such as now, no one paid attention to him and left him in the Desire Realm.
But what he didn't expect was that he would meet a strange demon monkey.
To be honest, Li Qi really had a sense of déjà vu.
Sun Wukong, this name is so familiar to Li Qi that it is unbelievable. Compared with those unfamiliar names like the mountain, Sun Wukong is the real one.
However, like everything in his memory, it is completely specious. It seems to be, but in fact, it seems not to be.
For example, the demon monkey in front of him gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, and even the "golden mountain" in front of him looked like a stick...
But it was a seal, and it didn't look like the Five Finger Mountain. Moreover, this was the Desire Realm, not the real world. Everything here was transformed by desire, whether it was spiritual or material, it was actually the manifestation of desire, including the boundless void. The reason why there was boundless void was because the creatures in the outside world believed that "there should be void outside the domain."
In Li Qi's cognition, this was the collection of the imagination of all living beings.
Although this kind of imagination sometimes made some mistakes.
Imagination actually needs to be trained. The so-called "having a plan in mind" actually means being able to imagine a complete bamboo.
This is actually quite difficult. When you imagine something, the probability of it coming out is some kind of "impression", a "feeling", rather than a detailed picture. In fact, if you really think about it in detail, you will find that it is completely unrecognizable.
A simple little game can illustrate this point, asking you to imagine a "future wife".
Your first impression will be a realistic "impression", and then you will start to add details to this "future wife".
What color are the eyes? What shape are the eyelashes, what hairstyle, clothes, personality, what is the habit, where do you work, what education, hobbies, what do you like to eat, what does she like about you?
These things are added one by one, and when they are finally added, you will find that there is a huge gap between the impression you imagined at the beginning, and your initial "fuzzy impression", if it is materialized, is actually a mess of mosaics that are completely unreadable.
In Li Qi's estimation, the desire world is a dangerous sea composed of this kind of "mosaic".
But now it seems that the nature of the desire world is stable, not too different from an ordinary world, and the demon monkey in front of him is even more vivid. Although the demonic aura is heavy, it does not seem to be imagined.
This makes him quite confused.
"Hmm? Why are you stunned? You haven't told me why you came here. I was born here and have never seen any visitors. I can't get out. Now I finally have a visitor, but why is he still a fool?" The monkey ran out from the bottom of the mountain and circled around Li Qi.
Li Qi finally came to his senses, so he shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about something, Brother Monkey. You said you were born here and don't know your name. So is your current knowledge all derived by your own deduction? Is it the same for your cultivation method?"
The monkey said, "Yes, it's all like this. I'm also curious about my current situation. When I was just born, I thought that everything in the world was like me. But later I reached this state, created the world, observed the operation of it, and created civilization out of thin air. I gradually learned these things. You are the first outsider I have seen. Why don't you tell me about the outside world?"
He looked very curious and was looking forward to what Li Qi could say to him, which was why he took the initiative to appear.
In fact, Li Qi was as curious as he was.
A magical existence with the essence of the third grade, a demon monkey full of demonic energy, was born here and had never seen any external objects, but relying on the wisdom of the fourth grade, he created things from the void, created the world and civilization, and then observed his own creations and civilization, thus stepping on his right foot with his left foot, from knowing nothing to what he is now.
Very wonderful.
But it is really like this, the so-called "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things" is like this.
As an existence born with the essence of the third grade, this demon monkey was born in the boundless void where there was nothing. If he were a mortal, he would probably not even be able to give birth to self-consciousness.
However, as a great thing with reality and qualified to be the "first cause", he directly took himself as the starting point and forcibly created one, creating a "world with nothing", and then in all the worlds around him, a long time, and the "Tao" itself, began to evolve.
In absolute nothingness, there is the existence of "Tao", that is, there are "rules" themselves. Based on the rules themselves, and the nature of the three-grade existence that can "create something out of nothing", life began to evolve here, and finally civilization appeared.
That is to say, the surrounding worlds, although in Li Qi's opinion, the intelligent life in those worlds are all monkeys, and the homogeneity is very serious, they are complex enough for the most basic civilization.
As a result, the demon monkey produced civilization, and civilization fed back to the demon monkey. The demon monkey took advantage of this to take a step further, stepping on the left foot and the right step by step, forcing this demon monkey to reach the fourth level of cultivation by its own strength.
Although his essence is third grade, his cultivation and essence are two different things.
This is simply unbelievable, can it still be like this?
Can the wisdom born under this model really reach this level?
"Hey, I asked you to talk about the outside world, why were you stunned again?" The demon monkey yelled at Li Qi dissatisfied.
"Oh, I'm observing the world around me. Sorry, I'm sorry, then I'll talk to you. Please listen." Li Qi said with a smile, and then started to perform.
He mouthed the words, and scenes of what he was describing began to appear around him.
Daoyin's information density is extremely high, it can convey more things, and the surrounding visions are constantly showing scenes from the outside world.
Li Qi continued to show the reality of the outside world to the monster monkey in front of him.
The demon monkey looked straight in the eye.
As if he felt that his eyes were not enough and his ears were not good enough, he suddenly gave birth to three heads, with a total of six eyes and six ears, each extending in different directions, controlling all six directions.
Upon seeing this, Li Qi also increased the information density and began to narrate the history of civilization and even many major events outside the territory at a faster speed.
In this way, six eyes and six ears are no longer enough.
He scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and then grabbed a few monkey hairs. With an idea, he suddenly blew the monkey hairs and transformed into thousands of clones. Each clone looked at one side, so a massive amount of information was absorbed into his mind.
How should I put it? Li Qi wanted to complain when he saw it, but after thinking about it, he let it go.
Is this magical power...this expressive power really what I think it is? But something doesn't seem right. All in all, it feels specious.
But Li Qi did not stop performing, but continued for about a month.
This month, Li Qi told an epic about life outside the territory.
Along the way, there are thorns, frost and dew, so we don’t have to be sad alone. We turn into grains and millet and sigh in this generation. Even if the regulations are scattered and destroyed, the tragedy of the burning of elegance in the school hall has been recorded. The emperor’s picture and the emperor’s book are the theme, even in ancient times. As a result, Xi Yan has come since the beginning of the article, and now, the five fortunes and rules have been accommodated, sorted out, and narrated by Li Qi's vast knowledge base.
When searching for similarities and differences, we must mention all the strange things. The articles on the charter and ancient history are collected and recorded in Qi Zong. The rhetoric is overly interesting, the meaning is broad, and the reasoning is old. It mostly refers to Zhenxiang's books, and it is based on the things of gods and immortals, and all the wonderful things are described in it.
Various civilizations and world groups are like various cells in biology that constitute the life of the universe. They are constantly dividing, generating, aging and annihilating, and constantly cycle. "Existence", "death", "speed" and "eternity", in such a huge Over time, the meaning of these words is no longer their "original meaning."
Even if all of this is actually just Li Qi's 'knowledge', which he has reproduced based on his current known knowledge, the future may not be like this, and the universe may not be like this. There are infinite things in the universe. Various civilizations have been excavated, but all of this is shocking enough.
The demon monkey even cried at the last moment.
For a being who is actually at the fourth level of cultivation and is essentially at the third level, this is really weird, but if he thinks about it carefully, his living environment does not allow him to have a deep understanding of the city. He was indeed shocked and moved.
So, he cried loudly, freely releasing his emotions after being shocked and moved by all this. With his tears, the world around him was also shaking.
In the picture painted by Li Qi, the demon monkey saw a fact that moved him but also left him dead.
Every life is a spark in nothingness.
For the long history, even the immortals can only be a flash of light. What can be left behind? As powerful as the ancient holy emperors, didn't most of them die in the ancient times?
They briefly lit up the boundless void, and there might still be warmth in the air, but it would eventually cool down.
"Since everything must die, why must it be born again?" the demon monkey actually asked.
Li Qi heard this question, but smiled and said: "The birth just happened to be born, it has no meaning. The meaning is what you and I want to do at this moment."
"Then...is there any difference between the desire world we are in and the outside world?" The demon monkey already had basic common sense about the outside world, so he asked again.
"I don't know either. My purpose of coming here this time is to find this answer." Li Qi said with a smile.
"If you find it, can you tell me?!" The demon monkey immediately approached Li Qi.
However, with basic common sense, he immediately realized that his behavior was slightly inappropriate, but he did not give in, but shouted as if to cover up: "I will reward you!"
"There's no need for compensation or anything like that, I'll tell you." Li Qi smiled and waved his hand.
This attitude greatly satisfied the demon monkey, so he became even more excited: "You are really a good guy, why don't you and I sworn brothers, and treat each other with sincerity from now on, just like the story!"
Looking at the other party's excited face, Li Qi felt...if he refused, the monkey might turn against him on the spot and turn from brother to enemy.
But...does he really understand what 'sworn brothers' are?
Li Qi was a little skeptical.
So, Li Qi suddenly frowned: "Brother Monkey, do you really know what 'sworn brothers' represent?"
Li Qi's sudden change from smiling made the demon monkey a little at a loss, but he heard what Li Qi said and immediately laughed: "Isn't it just sharing life and death, happiness and misfortune? What's the difficulty?"
"Promises are very important. This kind of cause and effect, brother Monkey, can't be taken lightly." Li Qi said: "If you are serious, I will welcome it. If it is a joke, don't mention it again."
This made the demon monkey angry: "Li Qi, do you think I am a joke? Although I have no name, I am also a man who stands tall and upright. I don't want you to despise me! Let's make a bet-"
"No need to do this, brother Monkey, if you are willing, I will accept the title of brother." Li Qi saw the other party's excitement. I don't know why, maybe the name of Sun Wukong still has some emotional influence on him, and he actually agreed.
Seeing this, the demon monkey turned from anger to joy, and pulled Li Qi, insisting on swearing brotherhood.
Perhaps because of his life experience, the demon monkey was straightforward, and his emotions were obvious, but now Li Qi was not so easy to trust others.
Being straightforward on the outside may not be really straightforward.
However, he felt that the demon monkey was really simple and ignorant of the world, and the other party's style was so similar to Sun Wukong, Li Qi seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with this... Moreover, his sixth sense kept encouraging him to do so.
The sixth sense of the witch is very metaphysical, and Li Qi usually believes it.
So, the two really became brothers here, and what surprised Li Qi even more was that when they swore blood, the demon monkey actually showed his true body openly.
Li Qi could clearly see that when they swore blood, the true body shown by the other party was "devil thoughts".
And it was pure devil thoughts.
However, it has been said before that not all evil thoughts are malicious.
Just like the current Desire Realm, the devil thoughts are a thing, the vacuum is wonderful, it is empty and it is real, it is true and it is false, it is almost in a superposition state, and it cannot be distinguished between good and evil.
Devil thoughts cannot be binary opposition. After all, in the Desire Realm, mind and matter are one, and the consciousness and karma of billions of sentient beings form a common karma, including all living things, even heavenly beings and the world, etc., a world woven by a common dream.
Devil thoughts can also be very pure and kind.
The demon monkey in front of him seems to be the same.
After the sworn brotherhood, the demon monkey was overjoyed and had to pull Li Qi to talk non-stop.
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and suddenly clapped his hands: "Brother, what name do you think I should give it?"
