Chapter 469 The Real Dragon Arrives
Suddenly, this fifth-grade treasure ship suddenly burst out with powerful energy, as if the defensive formation was activated! ?
Li Qi and Monk Jingmo stopped talking and looked at each other.
The Lidao people nearby have already rushed out. They are the staff on the ship. When the ship encounters something, they will definitely be the first to go out and face it.
Li Qi coughed twice: "The treasure ship has a fifth rank. High-ranking experts in the world will not break the rules at will, so it is safe for the time being. However...someone dares to attack the treasure ship. This is very strange in itself. Let's go out and take a look?"
"Little monk, I have an ominous premonition, please wait for me to make a divination." Monk Jingmo said and began to divination.
"How are you going to do divination? Turtle divination?" Li Qi asked curiously.
"No." Monk Jingmo shook his head: "The turtle breathes vitality, is bright and long-lived. But after killing the turtle, peeling off the flesh, drilling into the real carcass, the essence has been dispersed, but you have to find the sealing image from the scorched turtle bones. It can be seen that It is absurd and unreasonable. According to the witchcraft, the fortune teller should be in harmony with the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the order of the four seasons, the evil and good luck with the ghosts and gods, kill the spirit tortoise, and use the dead shell to decide. Suspicion is neither in accordance with one’s virtue nor with one’s wisdom.”
When Li Qi heard this, he was a little stunned.
This monk actually knows so much about witchcraft?
Facing Li Qi's surprised expression, Monk Jingmo added: "You don't need a corpse for sacrifice. The corpse can be discarded, and the tortoise can also be discarded. In ancient times, when bells and drums were made, dog and pig blood and other utensils were used to ward off evil spirits. If you don’t use the rituals now, and you haven’t heard that the utensils are bad, it’s all nonsense to clean the altar to pray for blessings, and it’s also ridiculous for the farmer woman and the silkworm woman to worship the plants and animals.”
After saying this, Li Qi became a little unhappy.
"If it is a ridiculous move, how can it be useful? Master, your words have included both Shinto and witchcraft." Li Qi reminded.
"The virtues of understanding the gods are similar to the emotions of all things. They are both superior wisdom and difficult to understand. Using this as a teaching is the ultimate skill in the world. How can it be scolded? However, all living beings need to be awakened. The meaning of awakening is to break away from worship and belief. What you learn is from the shallow to the deep, and you can reach everything. If you don't know how to recognize fire, you can't do it, and if you can't do it, you can't call it true knowledge. "Monk Jingmo clasped his hands and said to Li Qi seriously.
Li Qi did not refute, because he knew that this was the Buddhist point of view, and the other party seemed to want to preach to him.
The central idea of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures is to let the world form its own understanding of the world. The so-called "enlightenment and seeing the truth" actually means that you can put aside the appearance of things and think about the essence behind them, and "the Tathagata is in your heart." This is how this sentence comes about.
The core concept is actually to urge people to think, all living beings think, all living beings see the original mind, and see the Tathagata in the heart. In this way, all living beings are liberated, all living beings are free, and ultimately all living beings can become Buddhas.
Enlightenment is when a person reaches great wisdom after constant thinking and is freed from all causes of suffering.
All living beings confuse right and wrong, mistake falsehood for truth, and sink into a sea of suffering, unable to extricate themselves.
The fundamental reason is that almost every life and every person is like a slave, fettered by many relationships in the world. These heavy shackles enslave and constrain. No living being can be his own master and can truly be himself. owner.
Just like employees are bound by their bosses, children are bound by their parents, lovers are bound by each other, and families are bound by each other.
Endless constraints are pressing down on them, so they are not free, they can't control their own life, they can't control their own death, they can't control their own love and hate, they can't control their own love and hate, they can't help but run around and work all their lives. They don't know why they are like this, and they don't know. How can we get rid of all this? We are just living a habitual life, growing old, getting sick, and dying. We are bound by shackles, driven by many things, and will never be free.
Of course Li Qi can understand Buddhism's views.
However, he just doesn't approve of it.
For Li Qi, lovers, family, and teachers are neither constraints nor burdens, so he does not admit that he has fallen into a sea of misery, although he is constantly drifting because of this. For example, he is rushing to the East China Sea because of the Luofu Mountain incident. Come, but Li Qi doesn't feel any pain.
Buddhists feel suffering and think this is the 'cause of suffering', but Li Qi doesn't think so.
So, he shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this, how are you going to do divination, master? I will wait until you finish the divination, look at the results, and then make a decision."
But Monk Jingmo shook his head and said, "I have completed the divination."
"Huh? When!?" Li Qi was stunned. When did the divination end?
He didn't see anything, not even the fluctuations of the spell in the information flow field of view. Zhenzhi Yun only noticed normal fluctuations in the monk, and there were no abnormal or extra energy fluctuations.
Is there any divination technique that can cause no fluctuations?
However, Monk Jingmo said naturally: "Since it is self-enlightenment, learning must be useless. If you chant sutras behind closed doors and don't get rid of the chronic disease, you will not be able to awaken. The Bodhisattva's teachings and the Buddha's enlightenment are all called Empty talk. If you have a lot of experience on paper, you will have very little experience in the world. If you place your hope on Mo Ling's longevity and kill him when he is young, his flesh will be drilled into his body, his essence will be restored to nothing, and his regret will be caused by burnt decay. Isn't this a vain act? Therefore, as mentioned before, the art of divination lies in oneself, just like the enlightened mind only exists in oneself, so there is no trace of it naturally, and there is no need to use other instruments. Orbital assistance, just think, you can still predict.”
Li Qi was noncommittal.
This monk is still preaching.
Buddhist instinct? I heard that Buddhism is famous for preaching everywhere and convincing others to join them, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
It’s just that Li Qi didn’t feel anything about Buddhism, so he didn’t answer, but asked: “I see, what is the result of the master’s divination? Can you tell me something?”
Monk Jingmo did not show off, but said directly to Li Qi: "The young monk only divined dangers, which seemed to be life and death, but... it was not mine, but yours, the donor's, but there was more that I couldn't see. ”
"Can you predict me?" Li Qi frowned.
There should be clouds covering his body, and coupled with the specificity of his identity, he should not be able to be divined. He asked Monk Jingmo about the divination results. He actually wanted to know what the ship would encounter, but I never expected to hear the divination results about myself.
"No, when it comes to divination, you never target anyone. Things develop naturally, like a web of cause and effect, intertwined with each other. Who belongs to whom? When the young monk divined the things here, he only felt that it was extremely dangerous, and among the dangers, there was exactly one There is only one person in this whole ship who appears in such a fog, and that is you, the benefactor," Monk Jingmo said.
"So, the young monk asserts that the person facing this danger is you, the donor."
Following Monk Jingmo's words, suddenly, violent sounds and vibrations erupted outside again.
At this time, both Li Qi and Monk Jingmo felt something was wrong.
You know, the first shock was excusable, it could be said to be an accident.
But the second explosion and vibration showed that after everyone went to deal with it, something was still trying to shake the ship.
This is a fifth-grade treasure ship! Who is so brave?
With this in mind, Li Qi decisively sealed the altar where Lao Ma was sleeping, and then walked out, ready to see what was going on outside.
However, as soon as he walked outside, Li Qi saw... a real dragon.
The scales, claws, and horns of the hyena are all in place, the light shines brightly, and the fragrance attracts people. The two beards hang down from the dragon's beard, and the gold and green complement each other.
There are many graceful figures, the scales are like rock drapes, the keels are loose and turning, changing from left to right, wind and clouds are rising, ghosts are coming out and people are in a state of trance.
The dragon's head is held high with murderous intent, and the mist of the clouds penetrates the blue sky. It is majestic and majestic, with black scales and clean jade. There are white seals all around, and its eyes are as bright as stars and as gloomy as clouds. At first glance, it seems to be extremely auspicious. The march of peace and prosperity!
This is a real dragon! No kidding, and it seems to be of extremely high grade, at least fourth grade.
A fourth-grade true dragon can be regarded as a superior person even in the world, capable of commanding a party.
Now, this true dragon is hovering around this fifth-grade treasure ship, seeming a little angry.
But that's all. The huge pressure released unconsciously around the real dragon is the reason why the surroundings are constantly vibrating.
The real dragon's huge body was dozens of miles long, circling around the sea. The golden thunder and lightning snake shook, and boundless pressure fell from the sky. At the same time, the real dragon spat out human words: "Are you still unwilling to hand over those seven people?"
Hearing this, Li Qi was stunned, and then realized, seven people? Is it the Shenyi Army's dragon-slaying squad?
Isn’t it right? There are eight people in the dragon-slaying team, right?
Did someone get hurt?
Before Li Qi could think clearly, he heard a powerful Li Dao man on the bow of the ship, who seemed to be confronting the real dragon: "You want to find someone, but how come you find a scientific research ship? I, Li Dao, have never participated in all parties. In matters of orthodoxy, we must abide by neutrality, Ao Guangxiao, you have overstepped your bounds.”
A closer look revealed that the body of this great master of reason was not made of magic weapon, but made of flesh and blood. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, but there was a certain pressure of 'reason' faintly exuding around him.
"Dharma..." Li Qi vaguely noticed that a Dharma that he couldn't see was standing in the center.
Li Qi took the initiative to turn on the rhyme of true knowledge and observed the Dharma of the powerful one.
By really knowing the rhyme, he really saw a Dharma image.
However, this dharma image is intangible and has no substance. It is not as majestic and huge as Li Qi or Shen Shuibi's dharma image, which intuitively demonstrates its own power, but is more secretive.
This Dharma statue has no human form, but is more like a special "aura".
In this "qi field", there is reason first, and then there is qi. There is no reason outside the qi, and reason is the basis, and the reason is the source of life.
When things are organized, they are principles, that is, principles are in things. If the principle is in things, then regulating the qi and the heart is actually one thing. Heavenly things are called heavenly principles, human things are called human principles, and physical things are called physics.
After understanding the 'aura' around him, Li Qi immediately understood why the real dragon just circled and surrounded the treasure ship instead of attacking directly.
Under the protection of this aura, if you launch an attack at will, I am afraid that the energy that makes up the body will collapse together due to the collapse of 'reason'.
Is this... an absolutely defensive stance? If you do it easily, the energy and principles that make up the true dragon's body will betray the true dragon itself, and no matter how strong the defense is, it will probably collapse in an instant.
This is not harm, but a modification from the underlying rules, an application of Tao.
Is this... a scene of confrontation between the fourth-grade existence?
But...it shouldn't be possible to fight, right? The world does not allow beings above the fifth level to fight. This is an iron rule. These two fourth-level beings are most likely to confront each other, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to take action.
So Li Qi wasn't too worried.
As for divination... He never believed in his own divination. Even the eye of the demon and the legendary ancient mirror of three lives could not trace his past and future lives. In addition, with the cover of the great wizard Yun Fang, all divinations were paper tigers for Li Qi. They could only see a cloud of mist.
Thinking of this, Li Qi stood steadily on the deck, carefully watching how the two fourth-grade beings were going to solve the matter in front of them.
"The people you took on board killed a real dragon. Now they have escaped. Even I can't trace them. Tell me, in this situation, where else can it be if not on your ship? Except for this ship, nothing within a million miles can escape perception. Li Dao adheres to neutrality. I believe this sentence, so just let go of the cover and let me take a look. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave immediately."
"Ao Guangxiao, this ship sails in the East China Sea. It is the result of the discussion between the mentors and the Dragon King. Everything has procedures and certificates. If you want to search arbitrarily based on willfulness, I am afraid you will die." The great man of Li Dao said lightly.
"A junior has already lost his life because of the people on your ship. He was killed at the ghost gate. I didn't even have time to stop the reincarnation. I was caught in the reincarnation on the spot. My soul was torn apart... I just want to tell you now, whoever stops me will die now." The real dragon exhaled some smoke, and the sound was rumbling.
Li Qi could see that these smoke were some kind of extremely condensed water vapor, which seemed to be... the water of the sky?
Li Qi felt his scalp tingling
Did this real dragon drink a sky river into his stomach?
In human terms, he refined a sky river by drinking it, so that when he exhaled, he could have the power of a sky river descending from the sky, which could easily wash away most of the existence in the world.
The real dragon... is worthy of being the master of water.
The great man of the Way of Reason shook his head: "Talking about those nonsense, can you take action under the suppression of the Way of Heaven? Or are you ready to risk your life for your nephew? Believe me, if you dare to take action, Chang'an's law enforcers in the Way of Heaven will probably be happy to pull out dragon tendons and peel off dragon skin."
"Of course, I will definitely not take action in the world." The real dragon shook his head.
"So... Demon Lord, I leave it to you. This is the Ghost Gate. The world barrier is weak, and the Ghost Emperor has agreed. Is it okay?"
At this time, a sinister voice sounded: "Don't worry, I will take care of this."
With these words, the real dragon spread out its dragon claws and said: "Please, everyone, go to the outer domain together."
Li Qi was shocked to find that the space around him began to distort-
There is still one day left for the double monthly ticket. Everyone, please vote.
