Wandao long distance

Chapter 994 Hook

Li Qi is still competing with the Demonic Path. Although the war has ended on the surface, the real, more dangerous war has arrived.

The demon posed a difficult question to Li Qi in order to advance, and Li Qi also gave his own response.

how to say……

What Li Qi did actually had a very big loophole.

It is a very attractive idea to view war and construction as a struggle against evil. Look, we make brave sacrifices to defeat evil, even paying the ultimate price of our lives. It seems sacred just to think about it.

Letting other people's children indirectly end the evil is enough to make people feel the same glory, and most supporters think so.

Being part of a group always seems like a smart choice and getting caught up in the spirit of the team is always exciting.

Even if people are more sober, not carried away by the group, and do not indulge in hatred and prejudice, the group can at least make people happy for a period of time.

It is always pleasant to see one's own group as superior to others, so anything that distinguishes "us" from "the enemy," including moral principles, can always unite people immediately.

But in fact, for the nine places in the world, this is nonsense.

Everyone knows that an organization is an organization and the Tao is the Tao.

For example, Wu Dao is Wu Dao, and Wu Shen Mountain is Wu Shen Mountain.

When we talk about Wushen Mountain, we are referring to the Wushen Mountain organization. Although the Wushen Mountain organization is the main sect of Wudao, it is not the whole of Wudao.

Many shamans do not recognize Wushen Mountain, such as the Chongli clan. Not only do they not recognize Wushen Mountain, they also support the existence of the Tang Kingdom.

It was the same with Buddhism in the past. The Tathagata represented Mahayana Buddhism, but there was also Hinayana Buddhism in the world.

The same is true for Taoism. Although Taoism is a sect, it is not a monolithic entity. Then there are sects like Penglai Mountain and Luofu Mountain. When Luofu Mountain met with misfortune, no one else came to help because they were not familiar with it at all.

The division of Taoist sects is essentially a tendency of thought, and because of this tendency, they prefer to be with people who get along well with them, thus forming organizations such as societies, sects, and masters and apprentices.

You can belong to a certain sect without joining any organization.

Daotong is not a strict organization with strict rules. There are indeed organizations within Daotong, but Daotong itself is not an organization.

Taoism is a classification, just like "human beings" is also a classification.

However, the classification here is not based on race, but on "thought".

  The Daotong itself is just the result of the convergence of ideas, not a rigid organization.

For example, there is an alien who studies mathematics fifty light years away from the earth, and there is a student in any university on the earth who also studies mathematics. It is obvious that they are from the same school, but they have no relationship at all.

The common point of the Taoist traditions is just the recognition of a fundamental concept. As for how to interpret the fundamental concept, that is one's own business. Whether there is an organization or not is also one's own business.

A sect can have its own rules and regulations, but the Taoist tradition itself does not have any.

Daotong is a 'school', and they may not even have any relationship with each other, or may even be hostile to each other.

Therefore, for the Taoist tradition, there is no such thing as a "group" and the relationships between groups are not close. Even the humanity is the same. The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty, and humanity is humanity. Not all humanitarian practitioners are Tang people. It's just that humanity pays more attention to organization and unity than other Taoist traditions.

Through the form of groups, many people will simply divide things into two sides and believe in it, but the real world is not like this. This kind of thinking cannot allow people to control themselves. On the contrary, it will make people entrust their destiny to those who manipulate them with war lies. Hatred and paranoia cannot bring people long-term satisfaction, they can only fuel anger.

This kind of emotion is what Li Qi provides to the Demonic Path.

This is the relationship between Daotong and Qidian.

The reason why Taoism is Taoism is that everyone feels that their goals are similar, so they spontaneously come together. This behavior is a completely spontaneous action and there is no division.

However, what Qi Dian is doing now is the exact opposite. He is intentionally bringing the power of the powerful to the group, making others mistakenly believe that the powerful are in the same group as themselves. This blindness, this obedience to the group, is the natural breeding ground for evil thoughts.

Everyone in Qidian has different "Tao". In fact, Li Qi and many people in Qidian have different concepts. The only thing they have in common is the action of "destroying demons". Li Qi is now showing the power of a powerful man, creating an impression that "the power of the powerful belongs to all of us". The blind "group spirit" that emerges when everyone has different Tao is a huge flaw for the Demonic Path.

This was something Li Qi deliberately left out to the Demonic Path.

Will you take the bait?

Li Qi didn't know, but no matter whether he took the bait or not, this trick could at least maintain the stability of Qi Palace for a period of time, so it was a win-win situation anyway.

This is usually the case with the battles between powerful people. Everyone has considered everything very carefully, but there is one problem...

Everyone is very thoughtful, because everyone knows what their core interests are, so all actions are for their own core interests. Generally speaking, unless there is too much of a gap in strength, the core interests will not be lost too much, and a situation of "no loss whatsoever" will occur.

But... Li Qi's purpose and core interests are clearly stated, but who is the opponent of Mo Dao playing against Li Qi? What are the opponent's core interests?

It is very likely that the things Li Qi has been coveting are things that the other party does not care much about, so it doesn’t matter if they are lost, and he will be in trouble at that time.

But there is no other way. Let's just leave it at that. When the enemy comes, we will fight back with our soldiers and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. We will analyze the specific situation after the demons take action.

So, time moves forward again.

These things are generally very boring, because when it comes to execution, there are always a lot of trivial matters, but generally there are no problems.

Construction is always better than war. Although it is not as direct and cruel as war, it allows you to intuitively watch what you have done grow little by little.

Qidian maintained this state——

So, planets were created one after another to provide a home for those civilizations that had destroyed everything.

Therefore, many people began to want to join Qi Dian, not out of hatred for the evil ways, but out of recognition or admiration for the construction of Qi Dian.

In this regard, Li Qi always chose to refuse.

Accommodating too many chaotic wills was a burden for Qi Dian, but although he appeared to be on high alert, he only gave orders but did not take care of the matter himself.

Without the second and third ranks to take charge personally, how the people below will carry out the work will all depend on their luck.

For the same command, how many people will understand it is something you can control. It's like a book. When it is written, the author has no control over how the readers will understand it.

No matter if they really didn't understand, thought they understood, or pretended not to understand, when no one was in control, how the same order was executed was almost entirely up to people and luck. Li Qi's order was one way when it was passed to the fourth rank, another way when it was passed to the fifth rank, and another way when it was passed to the sixth rank. When the same order passed through thousands of people's hands, it was hard to say whether it was still the same order when it was finally implemented in the hands of the executor.

There are countless loopholes in the middle.

Fortunately, Li Qi knows the rhyme. This rhyme inherited from the devil can sense almost all information, and Li Qi can control it easily.

It depends on whether the devil can see through it.

Regarding this point, after breaking through the second level, Li Qi also had a new understanding of Zhen Zhiyun.

This is also... a characteristic of the demon, right? I really know that Yun is really the eye of the demon, and now Li Qi has an eye of the demon, and this eye can also "open", open in the form of the forehead eye, and take everything into the eye.

Although Yipin confirmed that this eye was safe, its essence would not change. This was also a manifestation of the Heavenly Demon's 'absolute self'.

  How does the demon know that others are also himself? How does he break the "high wall"?

You should know that there are high walls in the hearts of all living beings, and other people cannot cross the walls to 'empathize' with you. This is also the boundary for distinguishing 'self'.

Inside the wall, it is 'myself'.

Outside the wall, there are 'others'.

Each of us is born alone in the world.

Everyone belongs only to himself, and everyone has a "world" that only he can see.

That is your inner world.

In the eyes of the devil, the inner world is all a person has. There is no external world at all. This inner world is the only reality.

Therefore, those who want to communicate with the outside world are all pitiful people. They want to tell others what they are thinking in their hearts, but... there is no one outside.

Even if we take a step back and there is something out there, but other people don’t have the ability to accept it, it’s just like you yourself don’t have the ability to accept other people.

One person can never truly understand another person.

If there is a person who can understand one tenth of you, that is a 'confidant', a good friend whom you will hardly meet in your lifetime, and something you cannot desire.

Therefore, human beings can only walk alone. Although they are close to each other physically, they are not together. They neither understand others nor can they be understood by others.

Everyone seems to be living in a different world.

All the separated people can only shout to each other from a distance, but cannot really see or touch each other.

But for Tianmo, he has a way.

The way is to truly understand rhyme.

If you really understand rhyme, you can break down the walls and truly achieve 'empathy'.

No matter what it is, I can drill through it and then completely understand all the feelings of the other person, as if I were the same person.

This power is very terrifying. It is not mind reading in the ordinary sense, because mind reading cannot allow you to read the other person's thoughts. Thoughts are an extremely secret, extremely subjective, and extremely private matter that can never be known to others.

Reading memories, reading minds, these cannot break down the walls.

But true knowledge in its complete form can.

The complete form of true knowledge, which is one of the eyes of the devil, can completely understand the other party and feel all of the other party's thoughts with almost no gap.

Just as Li Qi was thinking about this, the sound of a teacup being placed on the table suddenly came from in front of him.

Li Qi woke up from his thoughts and looked at the person in front of him.

Before my eyes was a girl as bright as the full moon.

Of course, in terms of age, they are definitely not young girls. They are an old couple, but she still looks to be in her early twenties, no different from when we first met.

"Don't put too much burden on yourself." Shen Shuibi walked to Li Qi, stood behind him, looked at the table full of documents, and said so.

Ever since the Qi Dian incident began, Li Qi has basically been responsible for handling all matters, signing various documents, and making various decisions.

In Shen Shuibi's opinion, the burden given to Li Qi by others was too heavy. These people took it for granted that Li Qi was a second-grade man, and that he naturally possessed extraordinary power and sufficient wisdom. His power and wisdom were enough to bear all of that, and they believed that he could handle these problems perfectly.

But Shen Shuibi knew that this was not the case. Li Qi also had his own limit of endurance, and fighting against the evil was a difficult task.

"As it should be, they look at me like the same way I looked at the Witch God." Li Qi said with a smile.

Yes, Li Qi was actually like this at the beginning.

They believe that the witch god is omnipotent, so they trust his actions almost completely.

"Alas." Shen Shuibi also knew the current situation, so she did not persuade Li Qi, but just asked: "Do we have to be the enemy of the demon?"

In fact, from Shen Shuibi's point of view, there is no need to go to war with the entire demonic sect.

Even though she had been toyed with by the devil before, this kind of thing happened all the time. If she had to pursue "revenge", it would be foolish. After all, the devil was not easy to deal with. If this happened every day, Shen Shuibi was worried that her current peaceful life would soon disappear.

Who knows, something big might happen one day, causing Li Qi's hard-earned life without anyone's control to fall into turmoil again after he was promoted to the second rank.

"This is not revenge, Yu'er. Do you think that at this point, the conflict between me and the Demonic Path is still as simple as hatred?" Li Qi asked.

"Then what's the point? There's no conflict between you and the Demonic Path. Now that everything has been settled after the reconstruction, is there anything else you need to do?" Shen Shuibi didn't understand.

Li Qizhe held Rabbit's hand and said to her: "The demonic path is a huge obstacle to this world. You and I have both suffered through it. Now that we are free from it, it does not necessarily mean that all living beings are free from it."

“So, what I want to do is to prevent all living beings from being disturbed by demons.”
