Myriad Paths

There is Mount Dushuo in the East China Sea. There are big peach trees on it, which are bent for three thousand miles. Its Beizhi Gate is called the Northeast Ghost Gate, where all ghosts come and go. There are two gods on it, one is called Shen Tu and the other is Yu Lei. They are responsible for watching over the evil spirits of the ghosts and harming people. They hold on to reed ropes and use them to eat tigers. "

Therefore, the ancient emperor Xuanyuan's method resembled it. After the beating was completed, peach stalks were set up on the door, and a green barrier was painted to hold a reed rope to ward off evil spirits. A tiger was painted on the door to serve as a food for ghosts.

This is the way to worship Shen Tu and Yu Lei. To worship the two gods Shen Tu and Yu Lei, Da Nuo is needed to praise their achievements in guarding the ghost gate.

It is necessary to imitate the appearance of the commander-in-chief Bai Li and the boy, use peach arcs, thorn arrows, earth drums, drum and shoot them, and scatter them with red pills and grains.

But obviously, Li Qi did not have so many people to hold the Nuo.

But it didn't matter. He stamped his feet, injected his divine energy into the ground, and used the method of commanding ghosts and gods to shout around: "The gods here are coming to meet you!"

Not long after, a local mountain god stood up and bowed to Li Qi: "The little god has seen Zhu Ren... I wonder why Zhu Ren is calling?"

"I also asked the mountain god to summon enough mountain spirits and wild monsters for me. I want to perform sacrifices. Afterwards, all the mountain spirits will be rewarded." Li Qi cupped his hands and said to the mountain god.

When the mountain god heard this, he immediately agreed and went to call for help for Li Qi.

Not long after, various mountain spirits, mountain birds including chickens, sparrows, eagles, and eagles, mountain animals including bears, tigers, wolves, and leopards, as well as some tree spirits, flower spirits, insect spirits, and many little monsters gathered around them. They came in a mess, each using their own etiquette to shout to Li Qi: "Welcome and wish you good wishes!" "Welcome to the Immortal!" "Meet the Immortal!" and other words.

Li Qi didn't bother to correct them. He just told them one by one what he had to do, and arranged for them to be responsible for different sacrificial positions. After the completion of the work, he would preach to them and teach them the Dharma to help them in their future path.

These monsters and mountain spirits naturally agreed. They were all happy, listened to Li Qi's words seriously, and dressed up in different ways.

The sacrifice begins.

Among them, Li Qi himself has four golden eyes, is covered with bearskin, is wearing black clothes and red clothes, and is holding a spear and carrying a cannon.

Twelve different kinds of beasts and monsters were found, each with its own hair and horns. The false Zhonghuang Gate was set up, and the twelve beasts were driven towards it. The servants shot at them to drive away the evil spirits in the prison. The water was leaked at night. There were also mountain gods dressed as courtiers, and there were attendants, ministers, censors, and visitors. , Huben, Yu Linlang, generals and deacons, all wearing red hats.

Huhu, went around three times around, held torches, sent the epidemic out of Duanmen, rode torches out of the palace, set up a false Sima Gate as a symbol, set up five battalions of knights outside the gate, passed the fire into the water, The guards were outside Duanmen, and there were five battalions outside the guards, forming three groups. They were also sent to a place with water. The three generations chased away the ghosts and threw them into the water. They went up to the Tianchi and cut off its bridges so that they would never return.

Then use hundreds of birds and poultry to dress up to look like hundreds of officials and officials. Each uses a wood-faced animal to serve as a teacher for the Nuo people. They set up peach stalks, green leaves, and reeds. On the day of Wu night, they sang three times, opened all the gates, and gathered the Nuo people. , being taken care of by the server.

Singing back and forth four times, the city gates were opened, and the Nuo people made noises. They entered the west gate of the palace and spread all over the forbidden area. They divided into two groups and performed a square phase and played with the twelve beasts and eagles. They shouted loudly all around and made noises in front and behind.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that Da Nuo finally came to an end.

As the sacrifice ended, Li Qi hung the peach wood portrait of Shen Tu Yulei on the altar. This is the so-called 'Peach Talisman'.

But when the Taoist Talisman was hanging, I saw a haze and strong wind, the mountains were roaring and the tide stood, and there was a faint look like a big crown and crimson clothes, riding on the clouds and walking eastward!

Li Qi immediately held up his hands, stood in awe, prayed at the altar, offered cakes and bait, offered peach charms with five-color threads, and then chanted a congratulatory message loudly.

"In the sky above Zhao, there is light below. It has five wings and travels all over the world. Whoever eats it will be praised by the people. The Yu Jing Xia Dian, this tribute has not been neglected."

"The altar of worship is worshiped, and spiritual tools are present. The clang of great music shakes the heart. When the gods descend, the clouds are gloomy. When the gods stop, the breeze is solemn."

"Enjoy hundreds of gifts and celebrate with hundreds of spirits. The upper row of doors is closed, and the cave enters the dark world. The high altar of jade is laid, and the firewood is burned in the wide courtyard. God's blessings, all nations are in Xianning."

This is sending a message to the gods, that is, saying to the gods you invited that the sacrifices are over, we have repaid your kindness through generous sacrifices, and the sacrifices are now over.

As a result, the many qi generated by the sacrifices around Li Qi suddenly disappeared.

But the mountain elves and wild monsters around him seemed to have sensed something, and they all bowed down.

Li Qi stood solemnly for a while, confirming that the ceremony was over, and then waved his hand, ending the ceremony completely.

Regarding the fact that Shen Tu Yu Lei did not respond directly, Li Qi had already prepared for it, so he was not very disappointed. These two bosses were the Eastern Ghost Emperors, and there were countless people who worshiped them. They all responded, so when will the response be given? Li Qi was very satisfied to be able to let the other party's spirit descend and be sacrificed.

In this way, you thank the other person for helping you.

Then, preach to these mountain spirits for one more day, and then go back to the ship. When the old man Shenyi Jun comes back, we can discuss the matter of going to the underworld to shoot two shots.

So, next, Li Qi sat cross-legged and began to preach to many mountain spirits and wild monsters.

These mountain spirits and wild monsters also sat down one after another and listened carefully. For a time, in the valley, the Taoist rhyme was heard, the Taoist sound was rumbling, flowers fell from the sky, and new grass sprouted from the ground.

However, at night, you can see the Yin Qi coming in and hundreds of ghosts starting to appear.

However, with the protection of Li Qi's preaching voice, many ghosts and ghosts could not rely on him, so the mountain spirits could continue to listen carefully.

After six hours, the golden rooster on the big peach tree began to crow again, golden light emitted, the Yin Qi receded, the ghosts disappeared, and Dushuo Mountain once again became a natural, vibrant and harmonious appearance.

Li Qi ignored these changes and just preached. A full twelve hours passed. By the evening of the next day, he finished his sermon without stopping and drifted away, leaving behind a pile of mountains that were still comprehending. Wild monster.

How much they can understand depends on them. Li Qi is ready to return to the ship.

Controlling the escape light, he quickly flew back to the ship without any delay.

On the way back, Li Qi stopped using the trick of stepping on flowers and flying in the air. Instead, he honestly controlled the light, so his speed increased a lot.

However, before Li Qi got on the boat, he heard the sound of Lu Lu Lu, and saw the sound of wind and thunder. It turned out that the old horse was stepping on the blue thunder and running towards him.

"Haha, Lao Ma, I used to see you being lazy. Why are you so anxious to greet me this time?" Li Qi saw Lao Ma coming and stepped forward to greet me.

But something seemed to have happened to the old horse, and he immediately circled around Li Qi eagerly, showing off his horse's back to Li Qi.

Li Qi was stunned, and then immediately became serious, because this meant that during the time he left the ship, Lao Ma might really have encountered something that he couldn't solve.

He immediately looked at the old horse's back, and saw that someone had tattooed a visualization diagram there.

On the visualization map, the scene of Jambudvipa is painted.

Among them, there are 5.7 billion dragon kings whose body light is called Suruka, and dragons who live in Jambudvipa.

The detailed painting shows that if the dragon Yu Kudani does not send down turbid water, people in Xizhou will die young if they eat turbid water. Danyue people hate cold wind, but dragons don't get cold. Fupoti Island does not make thunder or thunder light, so Dongzhou is evil. The sound of thunder is like the sound of singing in Tushita Heaven, and the sound of the waves in Jambudvipa. Its rains are Mani from the sky in Tushita, delicious food from the city that protects the world, rain from the sea like a continuous wheel, rain from the Asuras for military battles, and pure water from Jambudvipa. Hell one hundred and thirty six. The triangle has no memory of life and death. The situation of the various heavens of life and death.

This visualization picture depicts the scene of true dragons in Jambudvipa. A total of fifty-seven true dragons looked like when they converted to Buddhism.

The more Li Qi looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Are there so many true dragons? Fifty-seven billion? And this is obviously only a small part.

So, is this the same as what I guessed at the beginning, that there is actually no limit to the number of true dragons, "there are very few true dragons". This news was actually released by the Dragon Clan themselves. There are not many of them at all. As the top of the way of heaven, The legendary perfect creatures, the speed of reproduction cannot be their shortcoming. They are not the result of the great power like rabbits and golden crows, but true genetic replication. There are no restrictions, as long as they are copied If you do it, you will definitely become the seventh grade.

In other words, part of my idea is actually right. There are few real dragons, but this is actually a lie...

In addition to this, Li Qi also discovered that this visualization diagram is essentially a skill.

A technique for real dragons or demonic dragons, and it seems... quite suitable for Lao Ma.

Li Qi hasn't visualized this visualization picture yet, but with just a few glances, he can easily discover that this thing is a special skill for the dragon series of life, and may even include Got the magic.

It's just, a little weird.

Because this visualization picture is printed on Lao Ma's back, that is to say, Lao Ma himself cannot see this picture. Others must see it, understand the exercises, and then teach them to Lao Ma. Just fine.

"Where did this thing come from? I've only been out for more than two days, right? Why did this visualization picture suddenly appear? The quality is still so high, I'm afraid this is a fifth-grade or above skill." Li Qi said to Lao Ma .

Lao Ma made a rhythmic sound and told Li Qi what happened after he left.

Li Qi can now understand what the old horse is saying. It turns out that after Li Qi left, Master Jingmo, the mechanical monk, rode the old horse, and after that, he had this picture on his back.

However, Monk Jingmo did not say why. Lao Ma was frightened and did not dare to say anything. He just waited until Li Qi came back and ran all the way from the stable to come to him to find a solution.

"Monk Jingmo came to ride you? Damn it, why is there such a thing? Okay, let's go find him now, he should still be on the boat." Li Qi cursed, got on the old horse, and prepared to return.

Although Lao Ma does need a good skill, and Li Qi is also looking for one, he doesn't want to get involved easily with the source of this weird skill.

The visualization map in front of him is indeed excellent, but if it is unsafe, it is not uncommon. A mere fifth-grade visualization map is not qualified for Li Qi to take risks.

With this in mind, Li Qi rode his old horse and quickly returned to the ship. Then without stopping, he went all the way to the library on the ship and found Monk Jingmo.

"Master, the visualization picture on my friend's back is said to be made by you? Why?" Li Qi stepped forward decisively, without any delay, and entered the topic directly without hesitation.

But Monk Jingmo looked very calm. He clasped his hands and said in a reed-like voice: "Donor, I did not make this visualization. It is a gift from God."

"God-given? Which God?" Li Qi immediately asked politely.

sky? There are many heavens in this world, and there are traces of the heavenly ways of many worlds, the controllers of various worlds, and even the heavenly ways of this world.

Heaven-given? Which heaven? Which heaven is qualified to come and ‘give’ without consent? To put it bluntly, what qualifications does heaven have to say the word ‘give’?

Who is heaven? You know, the heavenly way of the world has long been refined. This world is ruled by the major Taoist sects. No heaven is greater than the Tao.

“Longevity Heaven.” Monk Jingmo put his hands together and said devoutly.

Li Qi was speechless. Ten thousand words were stuck in his throat, making him want to say something, but he still couldn’t say anything.

There was no way, this ‘heaven’ was indeed qualified.

Longevity Heaven, that is, the legendary one -

Infinite life, infinite light, infinite magical powers, infinite wisdom, infinite solemn merits, and widely saved countless sentient beings -

Amitabha, also known as the Buddha of Infinite Life.

The place where he was born was Longevity Heaven. Although he had left the ‘heavens’ and no longer called himself by this title, he had his own exclusive Buddhist name, and was in the process of casting the ‘Pure Land of Bliss’, the ultimate creation of Buddhism, but Longevity Heaven could still represent him.

This sentence made Li Qi choke and unable to say a word.

Changshoutian is indeed qualified to "bestow".

However, Li Qi did not understand why Amitabha Buddha would give Lao Ma such a visualization picture. Lao Ma was just an ordinary dragon colt. Although he had the talent to turn into a dragon, that was all.

If he had not been related to Li Qi, he would have been an ordinary dragon colt, living an ordinary life, sowing seeds every day, and giving birth to one or two hundred ponies.

"Why...?" Li Qi finally asked.

Apart from why, he really couldn't ask anything else.

"I don't know, maybe this is called Buddha's fate. Even the monk was very surprised. The monk also calculated that this donor Ma seemed to have power, so he went forward to sweep the dust for him, but he didn't expect to sweep out a visualization picture, so he said that this was a gift from heaven, not something the monk drew." Monk Jingmo stood up and bowed to Li Qi.

The whisk swept away the darkness, and then swept out a visualization picture. This visualization picture was printed by the power of Amitabha Buddha.

Li Qi found it hard to accept for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

What, questioning whether Amitabha Buddha had ill intentions towards him?

He wouldn't dare to do it even if he had ten courages. Besides, if he really had ill intentions, what can you do?

You just have to bear it honestly...

However, Li Qi gritted his teeth: "Since it is a Buddhist fate, how can I refuse? Old Ma, let me show you the skills in this visualization picture!"
