Chapter 522 The Dark Path

After saying goodbye to Jing's family, Li Qi continued on his way.

On the way, he chatted with Shen Shuibi.

"You said, after meeting you twice, how will her future path be?" Li Qi asked.

"Difficult." Shen Shuibi shook her head.

It is indeed difficult.

Jing Yan is sincere in her heart and diligent in her actions. This is the reason for her success and failure. She is too sincere and too diligent. She is a wooden head. If she grasps the art, she will practice it hard. If she grasps the qi, she will practice the qi hard.

In the future, if she grasps the divine will of martial arts, she will definitely get stuck in a dead end.

This also made Li Qi unable to help but reflect.

Can a person like Jing Yan really be blamed for anything?

Even in Tangguo and Wushen Mountain, Li Qi has never seen anyone more diligent than her. When she was at the ninth level, she could sense Li Qi's aura. To some extent, she can be regarded as a genius.

But...

Shen Shuibi has said in person that her future path will not go too far, and Li Qi's judgment is not much different.

"It's not okay to be diligent, lazy, stupid, or treacherous." Li Qi looked up at the sky.

It's really difficult.

He is very smart, and Zhu Fengdan's evaluation of him is: "Too smart."

Jing Yan is very diligent and upright, but the evaluation he got is: "Too diligent."

It's really difficult.

There are countless dangers on the road. If you take a wrong step, you may have no chance again, but if you don't move forward, what's the difference between having no chance?

You must have the courage to move forward, the wisdom to judge whether you have stepped on a pit, the confidence to firmly believe that you are walking on the right path, and the persistence to walk for a long time without results.

For example, Jing Yan, she actually didn't know that she had taken the wrong path, so how could she distinguish between: "I took the wrong path" and "I didn't work hard enough"?

The answer is that it can't be distinguished at all.

No one knows whether it is right or wrong, and no one knows whether they are working in the wrong direction or the darkness before dawn.

As the saying goes: A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, so who knows whether they have walked ninety miles or they have simply walked the wrong way?

And how could Li Qi know whether his current caution was good or bad?

Brave? Or reckless?

Cautious? Or cowardly?

Confident? Or arrogant?

Persistent? Or stupid?

Was Zhu Fengdan right? Was his own judgment right?

Li Qi suddenly felt that after seeing Jing Yan's experience, he seemed to have a new understanding.

At this time, he was in a trance and recalled the time when he first stepped into the practice. When he got the book "Zhu", he felt that there was a smooth road in front of him, and he just had to walk along it.

At that time, he felt that there was no bottleneck in practice, and it seemed very easy along the way. After all, he had already read through the signs of how to advance and the level.

But now, I just feel that this road has countless forks and thorns, and there is only darkness in front of me.

The whole road is a land of endless darkness. Although there is no thrilling fighting and killing, it is much more terrifying than fighting all the way.

Your knowledge, your background, your diligence, your talent, and your teachers are a lamp in the darkness, illuminating a limited area, allowing people to predict the road in the darkness.

The more knowledge, background, and diligence you have, the brighter the lamp will be, and you will see a little more of the road ahead.

But these lamps can never illuminate the entire dark land.

I am afraid that no existence can understand what the road looks like. All existences are sad and blind worms in the darkness called "Taotu".

So small, so insignificant, in the dark and unknown world, there are countless dangers hidden. Every exploration of the outside world is walking between life and death.

The worm itself does not know whether it will step into the darkness next time. Will it step on food or predators? It may even be a more indescribable and indescribable huge horror?

Li Qi named it Zhenzhi, but found that in the face of the real deep darkness, even Zhenzhi could not see anything.

Is this the truth of exploring the Tao? Desperate and deep.

And now the path is all the clear places, which are explored by countless predecessors in the dark continent. It is a safe path, which is much better than starting from scratch.

However, for individuals, it is still full of dangers.

Li Qi suddenly felt that even if he was as strong as the first rank, there should be no difference between him, right?

The essence of the pursuit of Wudao and the whole world is to see clearly and even illuminate the dark continent of "Daotu", right?

The future pursued by the human way is to completely master this dark continent and become the master of this thing.

The freedom pursued by the Taoist sect is absolute safety in this dark continent, and no longer in danger because of anything.

What about the Buddhist sect? Judging from their ideas and propaganda, it is "the awakening of all beings", which is the so-called great cause of Tathagata, "the awakening of the world of Tathagata". Do they want everyone to be able to awaken and recognize the essence of the dark continent?

Or do they want all beings to understand more? After all, Li Qi knew that he still had many truths that he did not understand, and what he knew at this moment was obtained through the existing clues and knowledge.

So, after understanding all of this, what should we do next?

Just understanding but not doing is equivalent to not understanding.

What should we do next?

Li Qi rode on an old horse, thinking about it on the way to visit the Lingxiao Flower God, and finally got a result.

He felt that since no one knew what was ahead in this dark continent, nor did they know whether they were going in the right direction, or even whether they were going in circles or in the wrong direction.

Then, the role of the teacher was very obvious. For example, Li Qi could use his knowledge to see Jing Yan's flaws, and Zhu Fengdan also pointed out Li Qi's self-centered cowardice and tried to stimulate him.

How did the teachers and predecessors see your path clearly?

It's very simple. Their "lights" are brighter, so they can definitely see farther.

Li Qi decided.

For the next four hundred to five hundred years, his energy will be here. He must see his future path clearly. If he finds his future path and knows how to act, then Zhu Fengdan will not force him.

If Zhu Fengdan does not force him, Shen Shuibi naturally does not need to go to the most dangerous front line.

Then, the next step is to go back and soak in the library of Wushen Mountain, let the knowledge soak yourself, and find a possible way from it.

If you can't find it, you must also improve your strength and other influence as much as possible to help Shen Shuibi get the best support on the front line.

After making up his mind, he flew another 100,000 miles and came to Lingxiao Country.

When he came to Lingxiao Country, there was no need to be so troublesome here. Li Qi just cast a spell into the sky.

The spell unfolded, turned into vitality, and slowly expanded, like clouds, releasing vitality continuously.

These vitality will be released slowly, improving the weather of Lingxiao State, making it windy and rainy, and it will last for about a year.

This level of magic is not a small consumption for Li Qi, but he still did it.

There are two main points. First, with such a big movement, Lingxiao Flower God will definitely notice it. This is a friendly way to knock on the door to the other party, and it is also a gift for a sudden visit.

Secondly, Li Qi saw the situation below, so he took action to ease the suffering of the people.

Lingxiao Country was actually saved by Lingxiao Flower God once. In Chang'an, Lingxiao Flower God used Lingxiao Country's national fortune to block a killing disaster for himself.

That time, Li Qi knew that Lingxiao Country would inevitably suffer many disasters in the future. There would be no rain, earthquakes, plagues, and frequent disasters. After all, when the national fortune is declining, there must be a price to pay.

The people of a country blocked the disaster for the king. This is also one of the classic evil methods of humanity. In the true humanity, this method is absolutely not allowed to appear.

Absorbing national fortune, devouring the power of the people, and even forming a "company" that purely uses the flesh and blood and life of the people below as a resource for cultivation, in the eyes of orthodox humanity, it is a root-digging operation and an evil method that must be completely eradicated.

Because doing so is out of the essence of humanity.

For the high-ranking people in humanity, they themselves are also part of "people".

This is the essence of humanity. Whether it is a high-ranking person or an ordinary person, they are a whole and cannot be separated from each other. When a high-ranking person helps the lower-ranking person, it is also helping himself. When the lower-ranking person contributes to the high-ranking person, it can also provide benefits for himself.

Everyone for me, I for everyone. This "for" is not just "for", but also includes the meaning of "to become". There is no essential difference between "everyone" and "I". We are all a whole, so the official position of humanity can borrow the power of everyone and let all humanitarian officials have dual status.

If you absorb the national destiny like the Lingxiao Flower God, it means that the two are completely separated. The king is the king, and the people are the people. I am not for the people, but the people must be for me. The meaning of the existence of the people is to serve as nutrients for the king.

In this way, what is humanity? It is more similar to many Shinto sects.

The difference is probably that the efficiency of humanity is higher and the speed of digging roots is faster.

Besides, even within the Shinto, the Dao veins that completely rely on believers to provide power are the lowest of the lowest. The real innate gods exist by themselves. It is the believers who need them, not the believers who need them. The blood-sucking believers is also the behavior of insects in the eyes of high-level gods.

Humanity does not approve of this practice. I think when Lingxiao Flower God used this trick, he had already decided to completely break away from humanity.

Li Qi did not approve of this method either. He would not use it himself, but everyone has their own methods, and he would not think that there would be any problem with others using it.

Witches, that's it. It's all right, it's all right, and you can accept it. Anyway, your existence itself is part of this world.

As the magic in his hand evolved, Li Qi's expression was slightly serious. After all, this matter is not so simple, and it is not something that can be done casually.

The vitality is getting more and more intense, but the true essence of vitality is all in the general trend, like the shape of the earth, sometimes hidden and sometimes clumsy.

These vitality will enter the circulation of the atmosphere and gradually flow into the entire Lingxiao Kingdom in a few years, which should reduce the diseases of the entire Lingxiao Kingdom by about 10%.

Lingxiao Country is not small, with a population of over one billion. It is already a remarkable magic to be able to reduce diseases by more than 10%. It is also because Li Qi is a witch that he can do this.

If Shen Shuibi were to do this, it would not be as convenient as Li Qi. She would probably have to manually bury the formations in various veins, and then stir up the earth's energy to transmit vitality. It would take three or four months to get results.

Of course, the effect would be better.

There are still differences in the methods of each orthodoxy.

It is said that in Buddhism, just a jade purification vase and a willow branch dipped in water can make a country disease-free. That is another set of methods.

As Li Qi's technique gradually unfolded, a few hours later, this cloud of vitality finally took shape, and then quickly joined the circulation of the atmosphere.

These few hours were enough for Lingxiao Flower God to react.

But after the cloud of vitality dissipated, a figure floated over.

A branch of fragrant flowers filled the road with fragrance. Suddenly I heard the sound of sighing. For a moment, the curtains were slightly exposed. I stood looking at them sideways, and the fragrance was full of resentment.

The person who comes is also a beauty, a noble lord, and a god. His shadow is graceful and drooping, and his steps are slow and slow.

With her arrival, suddenly, I felt that the smoke was hazy, my eyes were full of beauty, with light makeup and elegant look, leaning against the flowers, looking forward to the time, making me unable to move.

Shen Shuibi frowned and looked at the other party.

But I can't fault it.

I have heard of the beautiful name of the Goddess of Flowers, and it is...well-deserved. She is so beautiful that I am a bit unhappy.

But Li Qi was accustomed to it, and took the initiative to greet him: "The king of the country personally greeted him from afar. Li Qi was ashamed. By the way, this is my wife. We just returned from Penglai and happened to be in the Lingxiao Kingdom, so we came to see our old friend. "

"The virtuous couple are here, but Ling Xiao didn't check for a moment and asked the guests to knock on the door with gifts first. It's really rude. Why don't you go to my palace and prepare a banquet and pour wine to welcome the distinguished guests?" Lord Ling Xiao also said with great etiquette.

The words were clearly separated, and Li Qi's name was not even mentioned in his mouth. He responded directly to the two of them as one, which was extremely appropriate and made Shen Shuibi's expression relax.

After all, the flower god came out of Shangyuan's situation, so she naturally has a sense of proportion in what she says and does.

As for the incident with Liu Donghe in the past, clinging to Li Qi and pulling him into the water to support him, that was purely a matter of temper.

If not, how would Lingxiao Flower have such a reputation?

"No, no, I'm just passing by by chance and came to see what's going on. How's the king doing lately? I see that your injury is no longer serious?" Li Qi waved his hand decisively and declined.

Forget it, drinking with Lord Lingxiao, who knows what could happen.

"It turns out that the young master still has my concubine in mind, and even brought his wife to visit him, specifically to cure diseases and eliminate disasters for the hundreds of millions of people in Lingxiao Kingdom. What a great kindness." said the Lord of Lingxiao Kingdom.

Li Qi didn't want to talk about this anymore. Tutu would be angry if he talked about it anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm not here for this, but to ask the king about Buddhism."
