Myriad Paths

Hearing Zen Master Kaiwen talk about the origin of this strange stone Buddha sculpture, Li Qi felt a headache.

Theoretically speaking, being held by Mahakala in the palm of his hand means that the demon blood in it should have been completely subdued. Otherwise, would Mahakala have the guts to drink it?

The blood of the four demons in his hand should have nothing to do with the other demons after it drips out.

In other words...this was actually arranged by Mahakala?

It’s hard to say that Li Qi and Mahakala have no grievances. He is just a Zen wise monk. To Mahakala, existence or non-existence does not matter. There is no need to specifically plot against Li Qi because of this, right?

Moreover, Zen Master Kaiwen also said that this was not just Mahakala. In fact, Mahakala didn't care about this strange stone Buddha sculpture at all. It was Dajinitian who put it away.

Now, who knows how long after the stone was put away, Genius Dujini ordered Zen Master Kaiwen to send the stone to Baiyelai...

Tujini Tian is also a great Buddhist master. Did the incident happen because of Tujini Tian?

confusing.

To be honest, Li Qi couldn't tell the difference at all.

It may be a celestial demon, or it may be the demons of five aggregates, afflictions, and death, it may also be Mahakala, or it may be Dajini.

There are not enough clues to judge.

So Li Qi simply gave up the idea. There was no need to look for this, since he couldn't find it anyway.

So, Li Qi raised his head and asked again: "May I ask Zen Master, I have studied this Buddha sculpture before and learned a lot from it. Is this the characteristics of the Buddha sculpture, or is it the result of your deliberate arrangement on it?"

"I found that what I realized was different from what other people realized. It can be seen that this Buddha sculpture does not have only one inheritance. In fact, just a few hours ago, I had realized from this Buddha sculpture I have found seven or eight different visualization diagrams, and I have also seen other people find the power of the Vajra White Elephant in them. That is not a visualization diagram, which shows that besides visualization diagrams, there are other ways to touch the Buddha sculpture. Power, what is this?"

Li Qi's question was quite straightforward. Generally speaking, he would not ask this question.

However, this time Li Qi felt that he could ask more directly. After all, the matter involved demons, and it was easy to be fooled by being vague.

"It turns out that the donor is struggling with this. Has the donor ever heard of the five-aggregate demon?" Zen Master Kaiwen asked.

"Of course I know." Li Qi nodded.

As a top scholar, Li Qi has read many, many books and knows more than most people in the world.

He immediately realized that Zen Master Kaiwen was saying that the drop of demon blood was related to the five evils.

The so-called five aggregates are the aggregate of form, the aggregate of feelings, the aggregate of perceptions, the aggregate of formations, and the aggregate of consciousness.

The form aggregate is all forms, the feeling aggregate is all moods, the perception aggregate is all thoughts, the formation aggregate is all motives, and the consciousness aggregate is all cognition.

According to Buddhism, it is the five aggregates that make up the world that people know.

Because, Buddhism believes that people cannot see the ‘real’ world.

Your eyes can see many colors, but are colors the reality of objects?

Obviously not.

You can eat salt and taste ‘saltness’. So, is saltiness the essence of salt?

Obviously, no.

People can only use their weak senses and limited perception to understand the world. The world that people see is ultimately shallow, one-sided, and false.

How people understand the world is how the world appears to them.

A blind person feels that the world has no light, and a deaf person feels that the world has no sound. This is the same.

The so-called "no worries, all four elements are empty" is such a portrayal.

The five aggregates are the reflection of limited perception on the human mind. People receive information from the outside world and then project it into the five aggregates, and finally understand the world through the five aggregates.

People themselves cannot detect what the real world is like. They can only understand the world one-sidedly through the five aggregates.

Only through enlightenment and Buddhism can we see the essence of the world, allowing people to see the truth even if they don't have the corresponding organs.

This process of pursuit is the process of practice.

The five-aggregate demon is a demon rooted in the five aggregates of all living beings. It can interfere with people's perception of the outside world and prevent people from understanding the real world.

Wait, in this case——

Li Qi's eyes suddenly widened.

In other words, the five aggregate demons are, to a certain extent, the demons who are good at illusions.

Then, what the demon said is true, and my previous understanding of the demon was wrong.

The Desire Realm is not an illusion, the things in the Desire Realm are real!

If you think that the realm of desire is false, you will fall into the tricks of the devil.

The things created by the Five Aggregates Demon are fake, and they do not have an objective entity.

Objective entity!

Li Qi immediately closed his eyes and thought of something.

At this time, Zen Master Kaiwen said with some sigh: "The donor is really amazing. He can actually realize seven or eight kinds of things. No wonder he can become the Master of Wushen Mountain. Such a talent is really outstanding."

"But -" Zen Master Kaiwen seemed to want to say something more, but he found that Li Qi had closed his eyes, so he suddenly stopped.

Because he found that Li Qi suddenly fell into some kind of thinking state.

Therefore, Zen Master Kaiwen did not disturb him and allowed Li Qi to think.

This is a common thing for immortals.

It is common for immortals to discuss Tao together for decades.

Especially when discussing Taoism with friends of level five or above, it is not uncommon for one party to suddenly fall into deep thought and wait seven or eight years before uttering a single word.

But Zen Master Kaiwen was still a little surprised.

What kind of talent is this? Even if he is the Master of Wushen Mountain, that’s a bit outrageous, right?

He just said the five aggregates. What on earth did this young man of rank seven think about?

It stands to reason that enlightenment is just an appearance. In essence, it is the accumulation of countless things in the past that can lead to that flash of inspiration. Therefore, no matter what kind of genius, it should be accumulated first, then ignited, and finally sublimated.

If thought is a brilliant fire, then knowledge is the firewood below. No matter how much inspiration you have, you must have enough foundation to support it.

How much foundation can there be in the seventh grade?

His age was clearly discernible in Zen Master Kaiwen's eyes, but he was only in his early thirties.

Even if it takes thirty years, twelve hours a day, non-stop, and all the time is spent studying and accumulating, how much can you learn?

Compared with those who have been studying for hundreds of years, his background is too shallow to support his epiphanies again and again.

That's why Zen Master Kaiwen was so surprised.

In fact, Li Qi has been under his watch since he arrived at Buddha Mountain.

He saw with his own eyes that this man had an epiphany more than ten hours ago. Just yesterday, he realized many profound methods from the strange stone Buddha sculptures.

And now, he has realized it again?

What kind of qualification is this? Is he a Buddhist?

However, what this monk doesn't know yet is that for Li Qi, the matter of the strange stone and Buddha sculptures is not considered 'enlightenment' at all.

It's nothing more than searching for things based on the existing information.

The so-called "enlightenment" is to deduce something that is not available but is very important to you from the existing information. For example, there is a mathematical conjecture. You first have this conjecture, and then one day, you suddenly realize the answer and convert the conjecture into a mathematical conjecture. became a theorem.

As for piecing together the thirty-two phases, Li Qi did it as a daily routine.

Turning a mathematical conjecture into a mathematical theorem can be regarded as an epiphany.

However, just solving a somewhat difficult math problem is far from being called an enlightenment.

For geniuses, it's that simple.

And the most frightening thing is that it is difficult for a mathematical epiphany to have practical significance, but in the world of personal power, such an epiphany brings a terrifying improvement.

It takes many years of hard work to transform a mathematical formula into a practical mechanical tool. How to transform the principles of the formula into tool production is a huge challenge.

However, in terms of personal power, this process is almost non-existent. Almost all the work is actually done in the brain. As long as the practitioner completes the moment of enlightenment, he can make the principles he has enlightened play a huge role in reality. The effect is that the instrumental part is omitted.

Therefore, the specific strength improvement of geniuses who can often become enlightened is also quite astonishing.

So Zen Master Kaiwen looked at Li Qi with envy.

For Li Qi's repeated promotions, he could only attribute them to Li Qi's qualifications. After summing up, he sighed... He is indeed the master of Wushen Mountain.

The geniuses who can be compared with the disciples of Buddha, the most elite geniuses in the world, the geniuses who are second to none in all the worlds, are really incomparable to me.

However, this time Li Qi woke up very quickly.

Because he was just thinking about the differences between the thirty-two phases.

He separated the thirty-two phases separately, and then compared them one by one using Buddhist thinking.

Thirty-two different phases can be spliced ​​together to produce many combinations, and then these combinations can be arranged into tables...

Usually this kind of work requires the use of pen and paper, but now Li Qi can perform deductions through pure mental arithmetic.

Reaching the seventh level not only brought about changes in his lifespan and magical powers, but his thinking speed also accelerated a lot.

If this continues, soon, the quick endorsement effect brought by true knowledge of rhyme will be ineffective. At that time, he will be able to achieve photographic memory without true knowledge.

Not to mention those things, about a quarter of an hour passed. .

After carrying out such complicated work, Li Qi came to a conclusion.

If it is a five-aggregate demon, then the thirty-two signs should be put aside.

Because if everything in the world cannot be understood correctly and can only be observed from the side through the five aggregates, that means one thing.

The thirty-two signs are also false and what Buddhism calls ‘emptiness’.

It is empty to doubt that all living beings exist, but ultimately it does not correspond to the pure original mind.

Li Qi suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and said to Zen Master Kaiwen: "Master, can you come with me to see the Buddha sculpture?"

Zen Master Kaiwen suppressed the surprise in his heart and said calmly: "It seems that the donor has gained something, so it doesn't hurt to take a trip, please."

"Okay." Li Qi stood up, left here on his own initiative, and went to the Buddha sculpture again.

This time he didn't try to keep a low profile and just flew over.

The speed was extremely fast, Li Qi was almost running at full speed, and his body turned into a ray of light. In only ten seconds, he hit the strange stone Buddha statue hard.

This was so loud that everyone around him was startled. Many people who were meditating were interrupted and looked at Li Qi angrily.

There are some who have bad tempers among them. They want to start a fight with Li Qi just because of their troubles.

However, Li Qi was in a hurry and was not in the mood to reason with them, so he simply waved his hand.

But he is already at level seven.

But he saw countless spiritual energy pouring out of Li Qi's body, condensing into a rock giant several feet tall!

This is the mountain god in his body.

The rock giant suddenly appeared and punched the ground.

But the ground suddenly seemed to turn into water. The earth tamely followed the mountain spirit in Li Qi's body and surged. Rows of waves of mud instantly knocked away all the people rushing around, many of whom had their muscles broken. Broken bones, but no one died.

Li Qi still controlled his strength.

This time no one took action anymore.

Everyone felt Li Qi's class.

Seventh grade.

Taller than almost everyone present.

"Clear the place, everyone, please leave." Li Qi opened his mouth and said calmly.

For a moment, no one answered, but no one left. Almost everyone turned their attention to the other person present at the same time.

It was a middle-aged swordsman. Li Qi Qiyun scanned it and found that this man was the only seventh-grade person present besides himself.

This man must be very famous. Everyone present probably knew him, so they all looked at him.

Being attracted by everyone's attention, the middle-aged swordsman seemed to feel that it was not good not to stand up, so he walked out: "Your Excellency is too domineering. Even Fengtoku Temple has never said that other people are not allowed to watch, and you are just a visitor. That’s all, why be aggressive? It’s not like this thing can’t be shared, so why bother driving people away just to provoke public anger?”

Hearing his words, Li Qi shook his head.

If it was normal, Li Qi would probably explain it to him patiently, and then say that he had his own reasons and difficulties, and that although this thing has advantages, the disadvantages may be greater.

But now Li Qisheng was afraid that the ray of inspiration that flashed in his mind would dissipate, and his inspiration might not last long.

He finally managed to pull out a thread from the mess of thirty-two phases, but this thread could disappear at any time and at any time.

Therefore, the mountain god in the body immediately burst out! He rushed towards the other party.

He wasn't going to kill, but he had to clear the place, and instead of spending minutes talking, a fight would only take seconds at most.

The middle-aged swordsman frowned slightly. He didn't expect the man in front of him to be so domineering and actually attack directly?

However, a mere shaman possessed by a spirit wants to fight him?

The sword box behind him was unsheathed directly, and the sword flashed, facing Li Qi's body.

Only a roar was heard! The mountain god in his body was directly chopped into pieces!

The collapse of the mountain god only caused the middle-aged swordsman to lose a few hairs.

The people around him cheered loudly, and then ran away quickly while cheering.

When fighting at the seventh level, they would naturally run far away.

The middle-aged swordsman smashed the mountain god, didn't stop, and accelerated his pace!

The martial arts inner energy explodes!

The swordsman's sword tip burst out with a destructive edge and stabbed Li Qi without hesitation.

However, Li Qi's hands had a few more hairs at some point.
