Chapter 367 Fox

At some point, the few strands of hair that the middle-aged swordsman had pulled off had already reached Li Qi's hands.

Li Qi held the hair and muttered something in his mouth.

The middle-aged swordsman's pupils shrank, then he raised his sword with both hands and thrust forward!

The martial arts internal energy instantly tore Li Qi's body apart, and his body was directly chopped into dozens of pieces!

But the chopped body quickly turned into flowing water and seeped into the ground.

It was still a god in the body, but this time it was a water god.

The spirit of the water god was seriously injured.

The martial arts internal energy is to refine countless kinds of energy into one. No matter what kind of energy a martial arts practitioner absorbs, the final condensation is the martial arts internal energy.

Therefore, the martial arts internal energy also has the nature of devouring and eroding other energy, just like the martial arts' appetite.

Therefore, the martial arts internal energy can destroy all magic, has a special attack effect on all defenses, and can also dissolve the opponent's attack when used in defense.

In addition to not having those special features, in terms of attack and defense alone, the martial arts internal energy has no shortcomings.

Unlike martial arts, witchcraft is completely the opposite.

The qi absorbed by witchcraft is complex and abundant, which is completely different from the martial arts' emphasis on tempering and purity. Therefore, witchcraft has many tricks, but it is much weaker in serious attack and defense.

For this reason, Li Qi's two gods in his body were severely damaged in just two attacks.

A seventh-grade warrior is so close, which is very dangerous.

However, Li Qi is not an ordinary seventh-grade witch.

After the swordsman realized that Li Qi had escaped, he became more anxious.

But it was useless to be anxious. Li Qi's gods in his body had all appeared and blocked him.

The mountain gods and water gods joined hands, the sun and moon gods were suspended in the air, and strange phenomena appeared frequently around them. There were countless gods surging, and the mountain qi and water qi were frequently mobilized.

The swordsman took a deep breath and made a sword flower with his long sword.

He did not speak, nor did he call out the name of the move.

Not everyone would call out the name of the trick when fighting, that would be too stupid.

But not shouting doesn't mean he didn't try his best.

He has realized the danger!

Because Li Qi's real body is hiding two miles behind the god in his body, and is performing a ritual!

Li Qi held up the hair he had just stolen while the swordsman was not paying attention, and made a wick out of the hair. In front of an illusory lamp, he kept repeating words.

This is the curse of the witch!

The wick of the lamp is the swordsman's hair, which is burning!

The swordsman knew that he had to stop the witch from performing a ritual!

The long sword was unsheathed again, the sword light was like a dragon, and the internal energy of the martial arts was like a wild rush, trying to destroy all obstacles in front of him!

But seeing Li Qi's side -

The more urgent the curse, the darker the lamp, and the black shadow lingered under the lamp.

The last shadow, the color is dark, reflecting the only true one on the ground, standing still, the candlelight suddenly brightened, the black shadow was imprinted on the ground, like light ink, and Li Qi raised his hand to burn it with fire.

At this moment, the swordsman's sword also arrived as promised.

Li Qi's god in his body was completely shattered!

In front of the internal energy of martial arts, the spirit of the god in the body has almost no defense ability!

However, his sword energy only rushed out fifty steps.

As the candle burned out, the next moment, the middle-aged man who attacked with all his strength was directly stiff, lost his fighting ability, and interrupted all actions.

His veins bulged all over his body, his whites were full of bloodshot, his lips were purple, and he wanted to breathe but it seemed as if something was strangling his throat.

Even his heart stopped beating. A pair of invisible hands pierced into his chest, pressed his heart, pinched every blood vessel in his body, and stopped all physiological operations in his body.

The attack that seemed to be able to shatter a mountain stopped because of this.

This is a curse.

Li Qi's frontal combat power is very poor.

However, if you give a witch a hair, the witch can take your life.

The lamp in his hand is the life lamp of this swordsman. If it is completely swallowed by the black shadow, that is, Li Qi's spell, the swordsman will die immediately, and there is no cause of death.

If I had to say it, it was probably sudden death caused by cardiac arrest.

But Li Qi was not going to kill him.

The next second, the illusory lamp in Li Qi's hand disappeared.

The swordsman suddenly knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, and big drops of sweat dripped on the ground.

He stopped because his hands kept shaking and his eyes were erratic.

But then, the swordsman looked up in disbelief and stared at Li Qi.

How is it possible! There was actually a witch who reacted within a hundred steps? ! And defeated him? !

He was a seventh-grade martial artist, and facing a witch within a hundred steps, he should be a sure win!

However, what he didn't know was what kind of enemies Li Qi usually faced.

When he was in the Imperial Academy, those heavenly prides who practiced martial arts were faster than him, stronger than him, and more sophisticated than him. The refinement of martial arts internal energy was ten times more than these "jianghu knights".

Although Li Qi didn't go there often, he would occasionally communicate with them.

In most cases, Li Qi, who is not good at fighting, will be beaten to the ground by warriors or other Taoists.

After all, witches are really not good at fighting in the ring, and they will not go to the ring. They will hide thousands of miles away and draw a circle to curse you, and then you will really die.

But such a fight is also a good thing for Li Qi. At least, he has learned how to buy enough time for himself in the fight.

So Li Qi did not get complacent. He waved his hand, and the invisible force directly threw the swordsman out, flying three miles away, and rolled on the ground with a bang.

As for the others, they had already run away.

You can curse, but you have to run away, and the people of Baiyue are the best at this.

Only the Zen Master Kaiwen, who came slowly, seemed a little unhappy with Li Qi's domineering behavior, but did not say anything.

But Li Qi didn't care. He just stretched out his hand and drew a simple flat map of the vicinity in the air, only drawing the terrain of two or three miles nearby.

But it was enough.

After confirming the direction on this suspended flat map, Li Qi stretched out his hand and drew a circle with a diameter of about 500 meters at the location of the Buddha sculpture on this map.

This circle is quite regular, because Li Qi's control over his physical body is now quite outstanding. After all, he is also a seventh-grade.

Just after he drew this circle, the scene around him suddenly changed. An invisible barrier enveloped the surroundings, and a transparent barrier that blocked everything stood in front of everyone. This barrier stipulated that only exit was allowed, not entry.

A circle drawn on the map was projected into reality and directly changed reality.

This is the magic of witches and shamans. When it comes to treacherous means, witches and shamans are ranked among the best in the world.

However, it seems magical to outsiders, but in Li Qi's opinion, this is actually the same principle as piercing a villain.

Pierce a straw man, write the name and birth date, and then prick it with a needle, the person will be injured and in pain, or even die.

It's the same now. Draw a map, then draw a circle on the map, separate this place on the map, and then it is really separated.

So, this place is separated from the outside world, and only Li Qi and Master Kaiwen are alive in this area.

However, it seems complicated to say, but in fact, it took less than a minute for Li Qi to rush here and expel everyone here, and the battle only took more than ten seconds.

Facing all this, Master Kaiwen frowned and said, "Donor, you seem to be a little too anxious. What did you find?"

"Danger, the danger of this Buddha sculpture." Li Qi said so.

"What do you mean? Dajini is kindhearted. Although she used to like to eat human hearts, she has become a guardian deity now. It is impossible for her to make something particularly dangerous and spread it out." Master Kaiwen said.

He was correcting Li Qi, because it was very impolite to say that something Dajini personally arranged was dangerous.

"It's not that dangerous. Dajini may not have any bad intentions, but it doesn't mean that this thing is safe. That's why I have to drive everyone away, otherwise they may die." Li Qi said.

He didn't continue to explain, because it was useless to continue to explain. It's better to see it with your own eyes.

This time, Li Qi sat down and began to observe the Buddha sculpture with the thirty-two phases as before.

Undoubtedly, a new visualization picture appeared in front of him again.

But Li Qi did not use this visualization picture, he just ignored the thirty-two phases.

First visualize the thirty-two phases, and then combine it with the Buddha sculpture to form that visualization picture.

After that, Li Qi smiled.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as he guessed.

The characteristics of Buddha are the thirty-two phases.

Then the question is, is the one with thirty-two characteristics a Buddha?

Li Qi slowly stood up and recited a verse: "Clay sculptures, wood carvings, silk paintings, piled with green and gold, if you say this is the appearance of the Tathagata, Namo Guanyin will laugh to death."

If the Tathagata is viewed with thirty-two characteristics, how many Tathagatas are there?

This Buddha sculpture is not the "Buddha sculpture" that he saw in front of him!

Li Qi suddenly understood a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures he read, called "attachment to appearance".

In the past, Li Qi joked to others that "you are attached to appearance".

But now I know what is the real attachment to appearance.

If you cling to the thirty-two characteristics themselves, you will never be able to touch the real Buddha sculpture.

The ordinary appearance of the Buddha sculpture, which leads to the disease of attachment to appearance, is a level of confusion. Saying that it is so, is the second level of confusion. Saying that the Buddha is viewed with thirty-two characteristics is another level of confusion.

In this way, the Buddha sculpture is further away from the truth, and the purpose of the Buddha sculpture is achieved.

When Master Kaiwen heard Li Qi say this, the surprise on his face was overflowing.

He glanced at Li Qi in surprise and looked at him carefully.

Then, Master Kaiwen chanted a Buddhist name, and then said to Li Qi solemnly: "If you view the Tathagata with the thirty-two characteristics, the Wheel-Turning King is the Tathagata. Although the Wheel-Turning King has thirty-two characteristics, how can he be the same as the Tathagata? The Buddha used words to dispel subtle doubts, so that the sentient beings of later generations can see without error. Today I will tell you the words of the Buddha."

"Thus I have heard: sound, color and appearance are originally born from the mind. The mind of discrimination is all in the wrong way."

"The Buddha is not a color, you are falsely a color. The Buddha is not a form, you are falsely a form. If you view the Buddha with nine colors and seventy-two characteristics, you are free from attachment to existence. You cannot hear the supreme meaning."

"The Buddha said: The Wheel-Turning King has a dignified appearance and is complete with thirty-two characteristics, but he does not understand the Buddha nature. He only enjoys stubborn blessings, which will end at some time. He has the self-image and cannot be free."

When Li Qi heard this, he was startled before he finished listening. He immediately stood up and listened carefully.

The words begin with "Thus I have heard", and the Buddha is mentioned in the words.

These are the words spoken by the Buddha, the Vairocana Buddha, the legendary Buddha!

Similar to the teachings of the Wushen Mountain!

So Li Qi did not dare to miss a word, listened carefully to every word, and then remembered it firmly.

However, like the language written and spoken by all the powerful, these words are clear and easy to understand, and can be easily remembered, written, recorded, and spread.

However, they also contain some deep-level avenues that can give people profound guidance.

Li Qi pondered over this word, and at the same time, he also wondered why Master Kaiwen would suddenly tell him what the Buddha had said.

This kind of words should be absolutely confidential, and only a very few people are qualified to listen.

The meaning of this word is very simple.

All forms and appearances are born from the mind. If you want to distinguish their behavior, you have already fallen into the evil way, and it is difficult to hear the supreme meaning.

Just like the Holy King of the Wheel of Reincarnation, the Holy King of the Wheel of Reincarnation has a dignified appearance and has the thirty-two appearances like the Buddha, but he does not understand the true meaning, so he will eventually come to an end. Although he has my "appearance", he will not get great freedom after all.

This is what the Buddha said, so... Why did Master Kaiwen say this to Li Qi?

There must be a reason.

What effect did he have when he said this?

This is easy to understand. What he said was to affirm Li Qi's statement, saying that Li Qi's thinking had touched the truth.

So he used the words of the Buddha to recognize Li Qi and gave Li Qi a hint.

Li Qi did not answer him.

Instead, he looked at the Buddha statue again.

If the above ideas are all true, then...

Li Qi closed his eyes again. This time, he even put away the true sense of the rhyme and no longer sensed the outside world in any form.

Then, he used the method he had just realized.

Li Qi pinched his hands together, and the small world of the human body unfolded.

Suddenly, the strange vision of Buddhism suddenly appeared around him.

There was a heart light, emitting five-color light, covering the sky like a canopy, covering the sun and reflecting the crowd.

Li Qi closed all his senses.

He found that even so, he could still clearly "see" the Buddha statue.

He couldn't tell whether this sense was "vision", but in the darkness, the Buddha statue did exist there.

However, it was not a Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue is just a superficial appearance. Clinging to the superficial appearance of the Buddha statue is essentially the same as clinging to the superficial appearance of the thirty-two aspects of the Buddha statue. They are all confused minds.

Everything seen by the senses is superficial. Clinging to the world seen by the senses is "attachment to appearance".

If you want to get out of this...

Li Qi closed his eyes and began to try.

After a few minutes, Li Qi opened his eyes.

And the Buddha statue had disappeared.

Instead, there was a drop of blood floating in Li Qi's hand.

The blood of the Five Aggregates Demon was mixed with some blood of the Affliction Demon, the Death Demon, and the Heavenly Demon, but the main part was the blood of the Five Aggregates Demon.

Chan Master Kaiwen finally couldn't hold it anymore, his elegance was swept away, and in shock in his heart, he chose to bow down devoutly. After bowing down, his face began to turn into a fox face, and four fox tails stretched out from his back.

"Under the throne of Dajini, Kaiwen, meet the Buddha!"

He is a fox!
