Myriad Paths

Li Qi's heart tightened, and then he immediately said in a panic: "I don't know, maybe the master saw it wrong? I'm exposing my soul, and I asked the master to take a look for me!"

He looked panicked, as if he was really worried about his soul being damaged.

Monk Zen Zhi was stunned.

Li Qi had always seemed smart and brave before, why was he suddenly so panicked now?

Moreover, reveal your soul to him?

Aren't you afraid of death?

There are many methods of witchcraft, magical techniques, and many miraculous methods, but the premise is based on the fact that their bodies are weak and their souls are also fragile.

The small world of the human body in the witchcraft can be said to be the most fragile among all the paths.

Taking the initiative to offer up his soul can be said to be completely putting life and death in the hands of others, and it is even difficult to prevent others from tampering with his soul.

If it is not forced, it is usually only possible for people with extreme trust to do so.

Monk Zenzhi frowned, unsure of Li Qi's attitude for a moment.

However, for Li Qi, this was no problem at all.

Doesn't it mean that if you don't show your soul, your life will not be in the hands of others?

What a joke, every second he stayed in this tower, his life was in the hands of Monk Zenzhi.

Therefore, he simply revealed his soul and did something that even a Zen monk would not dare to think of.

He incorporated the demonic thoughts into his soul!

But Li Qiqiao showed his soul, but in his soul, hundreds of ghosts were running rampant, and the demons were dancing wildly!

The dense black energy enveloped the soul, and it was these evil thoughts that were gradually eating away at Li Qi's soul.

After seeing this, Monk Zenzhi frowned: "My little friend, you are studying demonic thoughts for the poor monk, but you don't want to infect yourself. The poor monk can't do anything with these things, but they can help you suppress them."

Zenzhi did not expect that Li Qi failed to protect himself and was infected by the evil thoughts!

In this case, it is natural for the soul to be damaged.

I just hope this kid doesn't die here. It's best to wait until he finishes researching the method.

Zen Zhi immediately made a decision, clasped his hands together, and the Buddha's light shone around him: "My little friend, from now on you will enter the Rakshasa ghost country. They will lure you with food, sound, sex, and food. Be careful not to violate them. There are all kinds of evil obstacles, but be brave and never retreat. If you encounter a treasure pond and drink nectar, your physical strength will be doubled, and you will be ready to practice the wonderful place. Don't be greedy and go to it with all your heart. Only then can you suppress your evil thoughts and guard your mind. I will do it for you."

Li Qi nodded repeatedly, looking extremely panicked and distracted.

Then, Zen Zhi monk sat down to chant sutras, and suddenly he saw an upright figure in white clothes, and muttered something: "From hearing and thinking, you enter samadhi. From hearing, you enter the place of exile. What you enter is stillness, and the two phases of movement and stillness are incomprehensible. Birth, like this, gradually increases, what you hear is exhausted, and what you hear is unbearable, what you feel is empty, the feeling of emptiness is extremely round, what is emptiness is empty, it disappears, birth and death cease, silence appears before you, suddenly transcend the world and transcend the world, Li Qi Yuanming, In the upper part, it is the wonderful heart of the enlightened Buddhas of Li Qi, who has the same compassionate power, and in the lower part, it is the same compassion and admiration of all sentient beings in the six realms of Li Qi!”

When Li Qi heard the Buddha's message, his consciousness dissipated uncontrollably!

It was as if he was hypnotized, his soul shook, and he fell directly into sleep.

In confusion, he seemed to have fallen into some mysterious country.

There, he seemed to have experienced countless things.

He and a group of people seemed to be wading through mountains and rivers inside.

They passed through basins, hills, canyons, plains, and deserts.

There were fruits in the basin, and there were hungry people who left in search of food, never to return.

There were golden deer among the hills, and some greedy ones left to hunt the deer, never to return.

There are medicinal herbs at the bottom of the canyon. Those who are sick will leave to collect herbs and never return.

There was a bonfire on the plain, and some who were tired left to rest, never to return.

There are oases in the desert, and those who are dry will leave the water and never return.

Li Qi ignored them and let them leave.

He vaguely remembered someone reminding him.

If there are demons tempting you to eat, drink or sound, be careful not to do it.

Wherever there are all kinds of evil obstacles, bravely go forward without retreating.

If your physical strength is doubled and you are ready to practice in a victorious state, don't be greedy.

He took it to heart.

After walking for who knows how long, he became more and more anxious.

Maybe it was ten years, maybe it was a hundred years, Li Qi couldn't remember clearly.

His consciousness was blurred, and even his concept of time was completely shattered.

I have no idea how long has passed at this moment.

Although he felt empty, tired, exhausted, and had a bitter taste in his mouth, he still walked with all his strength.

He really tried his best, and every ounce of available strength was mobilized, even though he could feel endless pain coming with just a slight movement.

The real pain was as if his ears were filled with snickers and screams, and something was jumping around him.

The soul is being obliterated.

The oppression of the soul is more painful than any physical punishment.

This kind of pain lasted...for countless years?

How long exactly?

have no idea.

But it doesn't matter.

No matter if it is ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, or even one million years, it will always come to an end.

Can always...

Li Qi was already in a state of confusion, with only a little persistence supporting his actions.

At this moment, his behavior cannot be called a "conscious behavior" at all. It is more like the violent kick of a frog after being killed and skinned, an instinctive persistence.

Then he came.

Something tugged at him.

Something grabbed him, countless demons, suddenly grabbed his heart and tore it into pieces!

Severe pain strikes!

Every nerve ending is trembling and howling loudly!

Unbelievable pain swept through his whole body, making him shake like a shrimp just fished out of the water, and he could hardly move!

Under such pain, Li Qi suddenly woke up.

Then, he saw——

An extremely magnificent existence.

magic.

The real ‘demon’.

Through Zhen Zhi Yun's new senses, he saw a huge black sphere in the endless void.

A black ball of unknown size.

He stretched out countless tentacles.

Truly countless.

It is as numerous as the number of sands in the Ganges River.

It’s impossible to count even one hundred out of hundreds of millions.

Around him, even the stars seemed like dust.

The stars around it are also like caterpillars.

His countless tentacles penetrated countless worlds.

Li Qi felt a sudden realization in his heart, and six words came out.

‘He transforms into a free-spirited demon’.

Just after taking a look, Li Qi suddenly felt like he was being crushed, as if his heart had been pierced by something!

Then, he seemed to rise quickly from the deep sea, opened his eyes suddenly, and took a breath!

The sound of pumping air is like a bellows, and the lungs and heart are pounding!

After he finished smoking, he lay on the ground and coughed: "Cough cough cough cough! Cough cough! Grass!"

Even Li Qi couldn't hold back and cursed.

"What... is this?" Li Qi raised his head, his whole body was soaked, every nerve was trembling and moaning, his whole body was congested and turned purple, and he almost exploded.

At this time, the voice of Monk Zenzhi came: "My little friend is determined. I didn't expect that you could survive the pain of me suppressing your demonic thoughts. You just went to the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom and withstood the pain of the poor monk devouring your demonic thoughts." torture."

"I will help you seal your demonic thoughts with this method. The demonic thoughts will no longer affect you in the future, but it is a foregone conclusion that your soul will be damaged. After you leave my place, you can heal yourself with witchcraft methods. It should not be a problem." Leaves sequelae.”

Hearing this, Li Qi barely supported his body, stood up unsteadily, clasped his hands together, and said in a weak tone: "Thank you... Master for your help."

"It doesn't matter. You were infected by the demonic thoughts because of me. You can cultivate in peace. I won't disturb you. You don't have to study the method for me these two days, so that you can stabilize your soul and avoid irreversible sequelae." Zenzhi nodded, and then Went upstairs again.

After Zenzhi left, Li Qi wiped his sweat.

He was soaked all over, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Li Qi nodded his two fingers, and the water vapor surged out and turned into a big water ball, which hit him hard and made him sober up.

Then, he stumbled onto the bed, unable to move.

Finally... it got over.

Just now, in order to cover up his distraction, he directly infected his soul with his demonic thoughts, creating the illusion that his soul was not complete because of his demonic thoughts!

Although I don't know if this trick is useful, the situation was urgent and I had to come up with this strategy.

Fortunately, I kept it secret.

and--

"What is that...? He turned into a demon?" Li Qi was lying on the bed, his heart still full of surprise.

Incomprehensible, indescribable.

What kind of existence is that?

Li Qi felt it.

That devil was giving him hints.

Hint to give Li Qi an extremely important secret.

It urged Li Qi.

It aroused an unanalyzable emotion in Li Qi's heart.

It is indescribable, just like vaguely expressing a spiritual meaning in tangible things. This meaning is so strange that any intelligent creature can only express it with very imperfect symbols.

Li Qi seems to have found a beautiful pattern that belongs to himself and only to himself in the chaos of the universe, a beautiful pattern drawn by the tool of thinking.

But the pattern is so subtle that any clumsy attempt to trace it would be foolish.

The moment he saw the huge black sphere, Li Qi felt almost strangely that the weight of his body began to lighten, and a pure spiritual nature filled his body.

A spirit that makes people feel uneasy but also feels novel, leading their fantasies to a path they have never taken before, bringing themselves to a hazy and empty realm, a kind of exploration of novel mysteries, where only the eternal stars are there. Shining on, he felt that his soul had nothing to worry about and was experiencing various adventures.

"Don't think too much...Don't think too much, bury it, bury it..." Li Qi muttered to himself, and then buried his head in the pillow.

This is a demon.

It is an existence that devours the human heart.

Never take it seriously.

This feeling.

is fake.

but……

Li Qi raised his hand.

Suddenly.

The demonic thoughts that were still lingering in his soul were all dissipated.

These evil thoughts that he actively infected and used to confuse Zen wisdom took the initiative to leave Li Qi in an instant.

Even the demons suppressed by the Arhat statue not far away all changed their postures.

These demons went from being suppressed to kneeling in fear.

But even Zen Zhi monk did not notice this change.

It's like all the demonic thoughts and demons have surrendered to Li Qi.

But Li Qi knew that the person they surrendered to was not him.

Rather, it was a wisp of Tao Yun on his hand.

It was the physical manifestation of the wonderful emotion he felt, the spiritual meaning.

He transformed into the Taoist charm given by the Heavenly Demon!

For some reason, after he witnessed the black sphere with his own eyes, the other party actually gave him a wisp of Tao Yun!

Just relying on this breath of Tao Yun, you can easily suppress all the descendants of the demons, eliminate all the demonic thoughts, and solve the stubborn illness of the Zen Zhi monk in one day.

Same as fake.

Li Qi didn't want to take this seriously, but the existence of this thing was undeniable.

He huddled on the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

Li Qi hid this trace of Dao Yun.

Then close your eyes.

But seeing him not knowing how far away, he was distracted and opened his eyes.

Then he shouted loudly: "Miss Shen! Miss Shen!"

If you are in doubt, go to Shen Shuibi!

——————————

An hour later.

In the secret room of Xiajiumen.

Shen Shuibi's expression was serious and her eyes were full of distress.

She took a deep breath, finally spread her hands, and said, "I don't know. I've never heard of what you're talking about."

"Miss Shen, you don't even know?" Li Qi was stunned.

This was the first time, Shen Shuibi said she didn't know.

Shen Shuibi said:

"Judging from your description, it's very different from the demon recorded in the book..."

"My Majesty told me that he transformed into a demon of freedom, became a first-class Taoist, and had followers all over the endless world. He once caused great disasters and dragged several Buddhist disciples to the demonic path. He also attacked the Great Sun Tathagata. Later, he was suppressed and was sentenced to death. Expelled from the world, from now on it can only cause trouble outside the realm, but it will no longer have any influence on the world. Only a few relatives remain, which is the current demonic path. "

"So, in fact, I have never seen the demon, and...to be honest, I don't think you, Li Qi, are qualified to look at him and still be alive."

Shen Shuibi carefully considered his words and said to Li Qi: "First grade... what level of existence he is, I can't imagine it, and he is famous for confusing people when he transforms into a demon. It's not that I don't believe you, actually Yes, if you really saw it with your own eyes, I think you would be destroyed in an instant."

Although this sounded rude, Li Qishen took it for granted.

He nodded and said: "That's true. When I looked directly at the true form of the sixth-grade demon king, I almost died. If I really noticed the first-grade demon king, I would probably be wiped out in ashes."

"But I didn't come into direct contact with it. I saw it indirectly through my Tao Yun." Li Qi said.

"That's not clear. To be honest, your Dao Yun is also very strange. Anyway, I have never seen anything similar. Maybe Da Zhu knows." Shen Shuibi shook his head, saying that he was helpless.

Li Qi guessed: "Then...could it be a scam? This Tianmo Dao Yun was actually made by Monk Zen Zhi to deceive me. This thing is actually fake. Monk Zen Zhi deliberately made it. To confuse me or even spy on me?”

Shen Shuibi said nothing. She was not good at such intrigues and continued to be in a daze.

Li Qi also knew, so he could only smile bitterly and think about it himself.
