Myriad Paths

The first floor of the five-level pagoda.

Now, a full eight hours have passed since Li Qi arrived here.

Li Qi was observing the one hundred and eight demons with a mesmerizing expression, obsessed with it and unable to extricate himself.

He had even forgotten now that he was in danger.

So...so wonderful.

One hundred and eight demons, each with different techniques, methods, ways, different magical powers, different forms, and different emphases.

It seems that as long as you study these one hundred and eight demons thoroughly, you will be able to understand a path to heaven!

Li Qi's curiosity and desire to seek truth were completely stimulated by these demons.

He seems to be back in school again. He doesn't need to care about intrigues or office politics. He only needs to devote his full attention to the topic in front of him, so that he can get the greatest sense of accomplishment and be appreciated by everyone. .

Li Qi has already studied the fifty-second devil.

There were only ever-deepening mysteries in his eyes, and he seemed to have understood the six interests of life and death.

He worked bravely and diligently along the way, and with every secret and puzzle solved, his mind became more enlightened, more peaceful and joyful, but at the same time, his curiosity became stronger.

I really hope I can keep studying.

continue on.

If you continue to delve deeper, you will be able to truly understand the appearance of all dharmas arising from others, and truly understand the characteristics of omnipresence, and you will be able to truly understand all dharmas without forms.

If you continue to study deeply and truly understand the appearance of other phenomena, you will be able to truly understand the appearance of all defilements.

If you continue to study deeply and truly understand the complete reality, you will be able to truly understand all the pure and peaceful phenomena.

If you continue to study deeply, you can truly understand the formless dharma based on other phenomena, and you will be able to eliminate the defiled dharma. , can cut off the defilements. That is to say, one can realize the pure Dharma.

Such is the virtue.

Knowing the formless dharmas, the mixed dharmas, and the pure and tranquil dharmas as they really are, knowing the formless dharmas as they really are, eradicates all the tainted dharmas, and eradicates all the tainted dharmas, and realizes all the pure and tranquil dharmas...

Li Qi felt a sudden realization in his heart.

Then, he will achieve the fruition status and be named the Bodhisattva Skillful in All Dharma Appearances.

As long as we continue to solve the puzzles in front of us, as long as we continue to uncover the true face of these demons and understand their techniques, methods, and ways, then the great position will be in front of us.

Just keep going.

Just keep going.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Qi had even forgotten that time was passing. He didn't know how long it had passed.

Seventy-five heads.

Eighty-two heads.

One hundred and three heads.

Until the end, number one hundred and eight.

Li Qi walked to the side of the last demon.

As long as I analyze this last one, I can...

That's it, you can defeat the first demon.

Li Qi walked up with clear eyes, and the consciousness that had been suppressed before unfolded. He really knew that Yun had shown his power at this moment.

There were runes flickering all around, and Li Qi put his hand on the demon statue.

But the statue quickly came to life!

It was an ugly-looking demon head that exuded the smell of decay. Its skinny body was covered with leathery black skin. Behind its protruding ears, a huge curved horn rose from behind its skull. A mouth with jagged teeth occupies half of this ugly face.

Its hands and feet were long and slender. Where its sharp fingers pointed, an inexplicable energy spread out. All the curiosity and desire in Li Qi's heart suddenly exploded at this moment!

The inner demons that have accumulated one hundred and seven demons are unprecedentedly powerful!

From Li Qi's mouth and nose, some energy flow was forced out.

Li Qi's pupils instantly turned dead white, like cataracts.

His 'curiosity', 'path-seeking heart' and 'memory' were forcibly extracted at this moment! .

The energy flow formed into a sphere in the demon's hand, and was then eaten by it.

then--

The demon began to bleed from his nose uncontrollably, his body trembled, and he howled in pain.

The pain that the devil could not suppress surged into his heart and covered his body at the same time!

Its skin cracked, and the severe pain began to surge, as if boiling water had been poured into its belly, and its internal organs were scalded! Then pour red iron slurry into the wound to melt the muscles and internal organs! It feels like you are really in a sea of ​​magma and fire!

"Ah——!" It couldn't help but howl in pain, kneeling on the ground, tearing its skin!

But in an instant.

The pain suddenly disappeared.

Because, the devil's head exploded like a watermelon.

On the other hand, Li Qi took a deep breath and returned to normal.

He opened his eyes with a wry smile on his face: "Is this just a demon? It depends on his courage to take the initiative to swallow my Dao Yun and strangle him to death."

Yes, one hundred and eight demons, it took him a whole day to finally analyze one.

This also allowed him to master some Buddhist techniques.

And it is mastered through Zhenzhiyun.

"The Demon of Desire, not only has evil thoughts, but can also devour my memory and stimulate the deepest desires in my heart. If I didn't really know the rhyme, I would really fall here."

Li Qi shook his head and sighed.

If you want to achieve balance, you must first know the specific situation.

Just before, using the rhyme of true knowledge that had just returned to its original state for unknown reasons, Li Qi discovered that he could analyze the weaknesses and strengths of these demons, as well as the power behind them.

Yes, the power behind it.

These demons seem to be just... tentacles.

Li Qi didn't know if this was an appropriate description, but from the perspective of Zhen Zhi Yun, these demons were just tentacles emanating from a certain great being.

There are countless such tentacles, and they are all branches of that great existence.

Analyzing these demons is analyzing the great existence itself.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult and dangerous.

This time to analyze the demon of desire, Li Qi risked his life to take these demonic thoughts into his heart bit by bit, and then fought back at the last moment.

Before that, he was really confused, really indulged in a false sense of satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment that his thirst for knowledge was satisfied.

Even Li Qi's mind couldn't resist, and he could only win with Dao Yun's backup.

And there are exactly one hundred and eight such demons.

No wonder Zen Zhi monk went crazy.

You know, these demons have already been killed and eaten by Zenzhi.

He used the heart-eating method to eat 1,808 demons.

The demon left here now is just the demonic thought rooted in his heart.

Li Qi seemed to have won one, but in fact, there were still 108 demon statues here.

Demonic thoughts are deeply planted in the Buddha's heart of Zen wisdom. Zen wisdom will never die, and the demon will last forever.

And if the devil dies, Zenzhi may not survive either.

Difficult to handle.

No wonder he even came to Baiyue from the Buddhist Kingdom of the West just to seek the way of natural balance in witchcraft.

I'm afraid Monk Zenzhi has no other solution.

"It's really, really difficult." Li Qi rubbed his temples.

His original plan was to analyze these demons and then understand the Zen monk himself.

Because these evil thoughts have been integrated with Zen wisdom. If you can understand all these evil thoughts, you can not only accumulate a lot of foundation and knowledge, but also understand the weaknesses of Zen wisdom.

At that time, it will be time to turn away from customers.

However, Li Qi underestimated the difficulty of doing these things.

Zenzhi could safely let Li Qicai do this, I'm afraid he had already expected this.

Li Qi simply did not have the ability to do this in a short period of time.

"Let me see, it's been...eight hours. Let's rest first." Li Qi shook his head and sat down. He took out some bacon and dry food from his mustard bag, and condensed the water vapor into water droplets. Come, then control the heat and boil it, make a pot of bacon porridge, and eat it together.

After eating, he started to sleep.

Anyway, there is a long way to go, and all the backhands have been eliminated. All that is left to do is to protect yourself and wait for rescue.

Until then, see what you can do.

Li Qi started to sleep.

Time passed. Anyway, although there was an hourglass in this tower, the sun and moon were not visible, so it didn't matter when to sleep.

However, while he was sleeping soundly, Li Qi suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wu Jin's sixth sense is disturbing crazily!

Wave after wave of whims reminded him to wake up quickly, wake up quickly!

Li Qi followed his inner reaction without hesitation and immediately opened his eyes.

However, after waking up, he found that the scene around him had changed.

The ground under my feet is so frivolous. It is no longer a solid ground, but...

The intestines of some creature?

The entire passage is the intestinal tract of some kind of creature. There are some yellow-green viscous objects in it. I don't know whether it is gastric juice or something, and it is full of a stomach-churning stench.

The scene around him completely changed. The large intestine-like passage was squirming rapidly, and the yellow-green gas emitted made Li Qi's body feel tingling.

I am being digested!

"I'm super!" Li Qi cursed loudly, waved his hands, and two streaks of golden energy immediately shot out.

And this time, there's no cool gold thread.

The afterimage of the golden thread itself was caused by poor control. Now with Yuanshen, Li Qi's control over himself has reached an extreme, so the golden thread disappeared, but the speed was a full 30% faster!

The golden energy tore open the internal organs, and Li Qi flew out of the opponent's stomach.

I don't know when, he was actually eaten by someone.

However, as soon as he came out, he saw a terrifying scene.

Indescribable, numerous and strange monsters.

There were low roars and roars from all directions, and the sound of sharp claws and scales scraping against the ground sounded particularly harsh.

With blood and flesh splattering everywhere, this pagoda has become annoying.

Limbs were scattered everywhere, and there was blood-like serous fluid and mucus everywhere, as if a baby that had just learned to crawl was playing around, splashing the ground with the monster's body fluid paint.

One hundred and eight demons are alive!

The one hundred and eight Arhat statues, with their golden bodies and gray bodies, were entangled with the aura of corruption. They no longer had any power, but were suppressed by demons!

At this moment, Li Qi was among the activated demons.

He had just ripped open the belly of a demon and burst out of it.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he saw a hundred and seven demons surrounding him, looking askance at Li Qi.

The two sides looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, big eyes and small eyes.

Li Qi's face immediately fell.

Gold sparkles!

But seeing countless tentacles swooping towards him, Li Qi reacted very quickly. He immediately moved, rolled and crawled, and dozens of tentacles flashed past in an instant.

At the same time, two golden auras around him began to rotate, cutting off more than a dozen tentacles.

The howls of the monsters resounded all around!

The demons chased Li Qi!

Li Qi's face turned bitter. At this time, the first-level pagoda was covered with a lot of mucus and exuded a stench like death.

Even a fool can see that this place is poisonous and he cannot stay here any longer.

Demon heads kept being chopped into pieces by Li Qi, and the wounds were covered with green blood like mustard.

Li Qi could see countless piles of flesh all around. They were huge and swollen and had no human shape at all. They were just balls of flesh with human faces on them.

Li Qi's attack seemed to sting them, causing the faces on the pile of meat to start howling, which looked particularly terrifying.

The monster kept howling, and Li Qi shuttled among them to escape, in a panic.

Second floor! The target is only the second floor!

Only the second floor can save yourself!

Although it is said that these demons were all surrendered by Zen Zhi during the ninth-level period, and their strength is all ninth-level, if one or two demons can still fight, give it a try.

One hundred and eight will hit you on the head.

Wait to die!

The only way to survive is on the second floor!

The second floor is the Bodhisattva Heart of Zen wisdom, which was cultivated after suppressing these one hundred and eight demons.

Only there is safe!

Fortunately, although the pagoda is large, it has a limit after all, which is only one or two hundred meters horizontally.

Li Qi was already considered a master among the ninth level. Under the protection of the golden energy, he quickly broke through the siege of the demons and rushed to the second floor.

The entire escape lasted only a few seconds, but Li Qi was already in danger.

More than a hundred demons showed their magical powers and almost nailed Li Qi to death.

"Damn...it's a good thing I didn't waste my martial arts training, otherwise I would have ended up here." After the disaster, Li Qi happily looked at the scene downstairs.

Downstairs, it still looks like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

The second floor, however, was filled with brilliance and peace.

"This pagoda is the manifestation of monk Zen Zhi's cultivation... Looking at it this way, Zen Zhi's situation is really serious." Li Qi murmured to himself.

In this pagoda, hundreds of ghosts will appear at night and suppress the Arhat!

Then will the next step be for hundreds of ghosts to attack the Bodhisattva Hall?

As soon as Li Qi came up with this idea, he saw the Buddha's light on the second floor flicker.

Then, the Bodhisattva statue shed tears of blood.

The white Bodhisattva statue turned into red and white.

The surrounding Buddha light began to flicker crazily, like a broken light bulb.

Li Qi couldn't help but tremble! Breaking into a cold sweat.

He quickly increased his speed, climbed up to the fourth floor, and returned to the fifth floor.

I'm afraid it's not safe down there!

However, we have just reached the fifth floor.

Monk Zenzhi has disappeared.

Instead, there was a demon god sitting cross-legged.

His oily and terrifying body panted in the air, and countless tentacles filled with hook-toothed suckers replaced his lower body.

Each of these tentacles writhing like maggots has a human face. The human face is full of cruelty and distortion, but unexpectedly has a trace of clarity.

Now this demon god looked at Li Qi who was catching up with malice.

Li Qi's body froze on the spot, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and his heart stopped for a beat.

Bad food.

It’s the last day of March, so give me your monthly passes that are about to expire.
