Myriad Paths

Chapter 454 On the Ship

Li Qi stayed on the boat for seven days.

The old horse even sired once during this period, and Li Qi didn't even know who the other party was. It seemed to be a wild seahorse.

Seahorse! Female!

Reproductive isolation?

Forget it... I can't ask for anything more...

In addition, Li Qi taught at least eight hours a day.

The Dao Reader is an extremely complex and sophisticated thing. It is not something that can be taught in a day or two. Just wanting to block the interference of the five aggregates is incredibly difficult.

Fortunately... the rationale is deeper than Li Qi imagined.

They really found a way to temporarily block the five aggregates, and it is safer than the five aggregates of magic blood, so they don't have to gamble their lives to get rid of the influence of the five aggregates.

That is, the Buddha's aura from the Buddhist master.

Li Qi has never seen the master, but they were thinking about how to suppress the five aggregates in the first two days. On the third day, Wang Dun suddenly left, and when he came back in the afternoon, he brought back a wisp of Buddha's aura.

That Master Jingmo was actually a Buddhist. He had the Buddha's Qi of Amitabha in his hand, and he generously lent it to Wang Dun to help them study the state of being free from the five aggregates.

This Buddha's Qi can make people enter a state similar to "enlightenment". That mysterious state does not consume the Buddha's Qi, but can make people temporarily forget the five aggregates.

This state is called... meditation, or Zen.

Li Qi was shocked by this.

Zen, so this is what it is.

You know, although Li Qi often retreats, he has never entered the mysterious state where his cultivation level is improved by opening and closing his eyes.

He always thought that this state was nonsense, but the Buddhist Zen can really do this.

As long as you seriously accept the guidance of that ray of Buddha's Qi, the Buddha's Qi will guide your true spirit, ignore the five aggregates, and immerse yourself in a complete spiritual experience.

This is a very wonderful experience, and it is not painful or dangerous.

Li Qi almost died after covering up the five aggregates. The reason was that the five aggregates of demonic blood were too violent, directly covering up the five aggregates and making Li Qi face the terrifying information flow from the outside world.

Therefore, Li Qi had to use his fragile spirit and mind to face this terrifying and complex world. He had to build a buffer structure to continue to observe the world, and rely on willpower and mind to forcibly write a temporary operating system to replace the five aggregates in the void to take over the body, so that he could recover his mind.

But in front of this ray of Buddha's energy, it seemed that all of this was blocked. The state of meditation was not pleasant, but not painful. He could clearly perceive his own state of mind and get many situations of the "pure spirit".

It was very strange. Li Qi's previous retreat was actually to find a place to lock himself up, similar to closing the door to refuse visitors, no longer talking to people, and concentrating all his time on research.

But this kind of retreat now is more in line with Li Qi's imagined retreat, the kind of retreat where the cultivation level rises as soon as the eyes are closed.

In fact, this is true. After thoroughly experiencing their own spiritual state, they generally have a certain understanding of "pure spirit", and with the help of Li Qi, they began to construct a formula that can describe pure logic.

This formula is the predecessor of the Dao Reader.

With the help of this formula, the ethereal information flow of the outside world can be converted into understandable abstract features, and then correspond to the concrete features in reality. Thus, the Dao Reader is initially formed.

After that, it is to establish the underlying protocol for the common language.

Everyone's formula is different, and they are all built based on their own understanding, and they cannot communicate with each other.

Therefore, another set of languages ​​is needed for mediation, that is, to communicate with the mouth in the material world. Everyone agrees to build the same formula and unify these formulas into the same one.

In this way, everyone's Dao Reader can communicate through the common language, and then confirm the existence of each other's mind.

This is a kind of... quite wonderful experience.

When you really understand the abstract nature of the world, it is not difficult to understand why Lingdao thinks that the material world is meaningless.

When pure spirit and logic can refer to all material entities and can express all the properties of the material world, then whether the material world continues to exist is no longer important.

Each of us, and even all existences in the heavens and the world, is essentially spiritual. Our memories and consciousness are spiritual. No one will say that if I change my body, I will not be myself.

People's cognition of self is always based on the spirit. If there is only the body, it is a vegetable. I am afraid that no one will think that a body that can only breathe is "alive" and has rational thinking.

No one will think that after leaving the body, they are no longer themselves. Even if they leave the body, they are still themselves with only the spirit.

This is also an important criterion for the spiritual way to judge the self.

I am me, this question is very simple for the spiritual way. Everything in the material world can be replaced. Only the spirit can represent itself, and the spirit is an absolute abstract expression with unique properties.

The ship of Theseus is meaningless because the abstract nature of existence cannot be replaced.

For example, the classic abstract existence: numbers.

Every number is unique.

It is true that other combinations of numbers can represent other numbers, such as 1+1 equals 2, but 1 is always 1 and 2 is always 2, and nothing will change.

This is absolutely unique. There can't be two 1s. In the infinite number, each one is unique.

For the self, perhaps other things can behave like the self, I am 2, but 1+1 can be the same as 2 in nature, but it can never become 2.

Under these consensuses, the Dao Reader finally took shape.

This is definitely very different from the Lingdao, and it may even be a big gap. After all, they are professional and may have developed a complete system.

But for the people of Lidao and Li Qi, this thing can directly read the abstract information flow and convert it into information that can be understood by themselves and others, which is enough.

For Li Qi, this can greatly enhance the reading ability of Zhenzhiyun.

For the people of Lidao, this perspective can help them reconcile other paths and examine their magic weapons from another perspective.

After a week of study and debugging, the Dao Reader finally became temporary.

But Li Qi and others were not idle.

Soon, the identities of teachers and students were reversed.

Li Qi started to learn the Dao of Principle, not to learn the law, but to learn their ideas, their understanding of magic weapons, and some special techniques.

This is also an agreement reached by both parties, which is an exchange of knowledge.

However, such teaching has not yet begun, and it must be temporarily suspended for one day.

There is no way.

The ship is about to sail, and everyone in the Dao of Principle, including Wang Dun, will help start the treasure ship, and then do some simple inspections and maintenance work, so they agreed to give lessons the next day.

At that time, it will be Li Qi's turn to learn the knowledge of the Dao of Principle. However, during this free time, Li Qi can stroll around the ship or visit the library on the ship.

It has been more than fifty days since leaving Chang'an, and it is finally time to set off for the deep ocean.

In the deep ocean, Li Qi's ideas can be implemented and implemented, and he can also help Cooking Sea Pot collect ingredients.

The ingredients that Cooking Sea Pot needs will not be available in Dongyu.

Dongyu is just a small fight here. The real treasures of the East China Sea are all in the deep ocean, on the sea with violent storms and on the endless seabed.

Moreover, the real dragon will also be there. Li Qi is sure that his arrival will definitely alarm the real dragon, and... maybe it has already alarmed it now. The dragon may be the real dragon's man.

After all, apart from the real dragon and the flood, Li Qi does not think that other things can impress a fifth-grade dragon. That is a fifth-grade dragon.

If there is no special situation, a fifth-grade dragon in the world will basically not encounter any life-threatening danger, because the world prohibits the existence of fifth-grade and above from fighting. This is the rule.

The case of the emperor personally taking action is an exception. After all, the rules are discussed and decided by those people, and they have the final right of interpretation.

Well...

Therefore, Li Qi speculated that the dragon Tianhong Jun was actually instructed by the real dragon.

However, it is just right.

This is the purpose of coming here. Finally, it is on the right track. I hope to contact the real dragon quickly and end this test as soon as possible.

But that is also a matter of going to the deep sea. Now on this rare day of leisure, I will take an hour or two to stroll around the ship, and then read books and prepare for the rest of the time.

I am really looking forward to seeing the collection of books in Li Dao.

Thinking of this, Li Qi stretched himself. He had been stuck in the room of the society for the past few days and had not taken a good look at the ship.

At this moment, the ship had actually gone out to sea and was some distance away from Dongyu, but it had not yet completely accelerated, so Wang Dun and others were still needed to take care of this matter.

Li Qi stood on the deck, holding the railing with both hands, looking at the sea.

Dongyu had completely disappeared. It was far away, and there was nothing around, only the boundless sea and the whistling sea breeze.

This ship was like an isolated island, floating alone on the sea, rushing towards an unknown direction.

Although the speed of this ship had not yet accelerated, it was already faster than that of Lao Ma. At this speed, it would only take two to three days to reach the deep ocean area.

After all, it was a fifth-grade treasure ship, which was not something that ordinary people could have. If it had not been connected to Li Dao's line, Li Qi would probably have had to rent a seventh-grade treasure ship and slowly rush in.

There were other people on the ship, about four or five thousand people, only half of them were from the Way of Reason, and it seemed that they all had quotas and could bring their friends up.

However, Li Qi was a little strange. He had heard the name of Master Jingmo many times, but he had never seen this Master Jingmo in person. He was quite interested, but for some reason, he never met him.

However, everyone was on the ship, and they would meet sooner or later, so Li Qi was not in a hurry.

This ship was only a few miles long and wide. With such a small area, it was impossible not to meet unless the other party deliberately avoided him.

Sitting on the deck, Li Qi took a deep breath of the sea air, which was very salty.

The sea was magnificent and majestic, with sparkling waves, reflecting the morning light and sunset afterglow in the sky.

That's right, it has both morning light and afterglow, because there are no obstacles in the sea, and the world is a flat continent, so in the East China Sea, the land of sunrise, you can clearly see the different brilliance of the sun.

The Gangfeng layer is hidden deep in the sky, with beautiful rainbows, countless colors like a gorgeous kaleidoscope, embellishing the sky. If your eyesight is good enough, you can see the Gangfeng in the Gangfeng layer, like countless huge ribbons, dancing and pulling up a long rainbow in the sky.

The surroundings are calm and there is nothing to disturb. Li Qi had seen all kinds of strange life in the shallow sea area, but now there is nothing.

The reason is not difficult to understand. After all, this is a fifth-grade treasure ship. This ship alone can suppress all sea monsters, making all ordinary beasts tremble and lose all will to resist.

Just when Li Qi was admiring all this, suddenly, an old man shouted beside him: "Little brother, you look like this, is this your first time here?"

"Well, it's the first time to come to such a deep place. After all, it's the ocean. I didn't dare to go there before because of my low cultivation." Li Qi smiled.

"Yes, you are self-aware. I have seen many little brats who dare to go to the deep ocean at the ninth level. They also said that this is a challenge for the brave. Only the brave can overcome the wind and waves. They are really a bunch of fools... They will only seek death. By the way, can you come and help me? Help me assemble this platform." The old man said with a smile, pointing to a row of parts in front of him.

"Is this... a fishing platform?" Li Qi looked at the pile of parts. Through the shape of the parts, the formation on them, and the iconic extended telescopic rod, Li Qi immediately recognized the use of the parts.

"That's right. How can you not fish in the deep ocean? A man can't not fish. Come, help me build a platform. Seeing your calm and steady appearance, you must be a good material for fishing. I will teach you!" The old man smiled and threw out another platform.

Uh... did you prepare one for yourself?

Well, since I have free time today, let's go fishing.

Anyway, the bait and props are provided by the other party, so it is natural to fish on the sea boat.

Li Qi thought so and walked forward. Zhen Zhiyun quickly scanned the parts, identified the function of each part, and then assembled the platform in just a few seconds.

However, Li Qi was a little surprised.

The grade of this platform was not low, it was a seventh-grade magic weapon. This old man, at first glance, was only an eighth-grade magic weapon, but he was quite rich.

"As expected of the ship of Li Dao, you are just a bit skilled. You can assemble the platform much faster. Install yours too. A calm young man needs to fish to polish his temper." The old man urged.

Li Qi nodded slightly. With the experience of the last time, he was even more agile this time and assembled it in half the time.

However, after assembling it——

Suddenly, he felt that the time around him slowed down.

Illusion?
