Myriad Paths

After understanding the Taoist's "cultivation of truth", what is the true nature, what is self-improvement, Li Qi sighed and activated the immortal road. Through the immortal road, he instantly crossed a great distance and came to Penglai from Huliang.

Knowing the situation of Taoism, his expectation for Penglai has disappeared, but he still has a considerable degree of curiosity.

After all, this is Penglai.

Poem: Penglai is famous now and then, and there is no place to find it in the vast smoke and water. The sea is vast, the wind is strong, and the Penglai Island cannot be seen with eyes.

This is the most mysterious place of Taoism and the real core.

The book that Li Qi has read records: "Penglai is opposite the northeast coast of the East China Sea, with a circumference of 5,000 miles. There is another round sea around the mountain, the water of the round sea is black, and it is called the dark sea. There is no wind but the waves are hundreds of feet high, and it is impossible to travel."

Stepping out of the immortal road, Li Qi looked around.

All around, there is a black sea, which seems to be floating in the pearl palace, with a group of monsters tumbling, Fengyi waves surging, clouds and mists whistling, crocodiles roaring and whales running into the dark sky, that is Penglai!

Suddenly, the wind in the sky shines the sun and the moon, and a light descends, illuminating the misty layer of the platform, and in the clouds of the fairy palace, there are phoenixes flying, egrets wandering, Gaoyang Kui bowing, and tigers chasing after them.

Compared with the unattended Huliang, although Penglai is still not as magnificent as Chang'an, the natural terrain here is already magical enough. The surrounding sea area is called the "Nether Sea", the sea water is extremely black, and thousands of waters and waves are filled. The world is all black, and its waves are hundreds of feet high. Countless sea beasts are running in the rolling waves, which is extremely dangerous.

And in the black sea water, a pure white fairy mountain is suspended above it.

Black and white support each other, just like... the yin and yang fish in the Tai Chi diagram, blending together perfectly and harmoniously. That is Penglai, near the fairy mountain, countless flying peaks circulate around, there is no special decoration inside, but... there are many, many, many, many treasures. It's really a lot. Various Taoist instruments, palaces, formations, Yaoying Garden, Baolu Hongtu, Danlu Xiangzhu Xuying, Yuyi Qingche Xiaolu, Wanqian Zhuzhi Yaohua, countless treasures seem to be revived from here. These don't have any "artistic atmosphere", and even have a bit of the flavor of Zhu Fengdan, just a bunch of good things piled on it. However, what is better than Zhu Fengdan is that these treasures have been processed accordingly, so although you can see the treasure light, they will not affect each other. It seems that... Penglai is much richer than Huliang. Yes, Huliang is just a station, and the permanent population is not large, but Penglai is the base camp, I think there must be a lot of background, the core magic weapons of Taoism may be placed here. Think about the people of Duha. Shen Shuibi also forgot to be angry with Li Qi at this moment. Her original body pricked up her ears and widened her eyes, looking at the Penglai Fairy Island at this moment.

As a Taoist, it is impossible to say that she has no idea about Penglai.

That is Penglai. In the Taoist idiom, the four words "going back and forth between Peng and Ying" are used to describe the Taoists.

That is to say, if you are very powerful, you can go back and forth between Peng and Ying, and you can come and go to this place at will.

Peng is Penglai, Ying is Yingzhou.

The three islands of Taoism are Penglai, Yingzhou, and Huliang. Huliang is a station. Not to mention that the permanent population is not large, the remaining two are the real core.

Coming to Penglai, she also attaches great importance to it.

So, she changed into a human form, stopped making a fuss, and pulled Li Qi, saying: "Li Qi, let's go in."

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded, and the two walked in hand in hand.

Lao Ma lay quietly on Li Qi's shoulder and continued to pretend to be dead.

You can't talk at this time, or you will be beaten.

————————

Li Qi and others boarded Penglai, originally wanting to find a place to sit down and wait for the Demon Prince to start.

However, what they didn't expect was that they saw a black figure standing on the edge of the black ocean on the coast of Penglai just after they landed on the island.

A black cloak embroidered with gold threads, a dark robe, some seal characters flickering faintly, wearing a black jade mask, and a black golden tiger jade pendant hanging around his waist.

He limped with a cane and walked slowly towards Li Qi.

It was the Demon Prince.

He walked in front of Li Qi and said to Li Qi and Shen Shuibi in a familiar voice: "Hello... Li Qi, and Shen Shuibi, I meet again, I'm very happy, I didn't expect you to really come."

His mask covered his expression tightly, but his voice clearly revealed a smile.

It seems that the Demon Prince is in a good mood.

"What do you mean by 'I didn't expect you to come'? Since the Demon Prince specially wrote to invite me, how can I not come? After all, the Demon Prince has very few friends, and I can barely be counted as one. If I don't come, who else can come to support you?" Li Qi immediately bowed and replied with a smile.

Shen Shuibi nodded slightly to the Demon Prince, and then hid behind Li Qi. Once they entered the social mode, their roles would be reversed.

Li Qi would start to talk, and Tutu would start to play dead.

"Haha, but my reputation is not very good. To be precise, the reputation of the entire demon path is not good." The Demon Prince said, then found a reef, sat down, and placed his cane across his knees.

Even if he was already a seventh-grade, his lame leg would still have a certain impact on his movements, so he should prefer to sit and talk.

Li Qi naturally took Shen Shuibi to sit down, and then said: "In the nine lands of this world, is there any place with a good reputation?"

"Humanity is strong and domineering and goes to war everywhere; spirituality lives in isolation and does not care about worldly affairs; demonism is a mixture of fish and dragons, both good and bad; real dragons are aggressive and bloodthirsty and like to promote fights and fights; witches and demons are secretive and mysterious; Taoism is arrogant and indifferent and solitary; Buddhism is everywhere The Shinto regards all living beings as food for ants, and the Demonic Dao is one of the nine places in the world, so it is normal for it to have a bad reputation," Li Qi said with great emotional intelligence.

"Well, there is some truth in what you said. It's just that the Demonic Way is a little different from the other eight Taoist traditions. After all, the foundation of our Taoism is the suffering of the world. The devil likes to play with the world, and the devil of troubles feeds on the heart of the Tao. Five The evil spirit obstructs people's sight and hearing, and the evil spirit of death wants to push the world into death."

"The devil is a path that is parasitic on other paths, taking away wisdom and life, and destroying the merits and virtues of the path. That's why it is called a devil. Our reputation is particularly bad." The devil prince said without any taboo.

Yes, this is the fundamental reason why the devil is hostile.

When it comes to scandals and scandals, all the great sects are pretty much the same, so why is the devil's path particularly resisted, and even the four demons who are the ancestors of the devil's path are expelled from the world?

This is because the foundation of the demonic path is actually the foundation of other Dao systems.

The Tao foundation of the Demon of Trouble is built on the troubles of all living beings. Damaging the Taoist minds of others is his way of practice. The same is true for the Demon of Five Aggregates, and the Demon of Death is even more extreme.

Even Li Qi knew it, because Buddhism preached the horror of the dead demon everywhere, and those Buddhas, through Buddhist scriptures and other monks who preached, made the method of transcending the dead demon public to the public.

The Death Demon, the way to transcend the first level, and his opportunity for the great path, is to destroy everything known, everything will die, and even reincarnation itself will be completely extinct.

In this way, the path to death can be achieved.

This is undoubtedly a declaration of war against all existences in the heavens and the world. The Buddhas directly made it public and tried to stifle the path of the dead demon. This was considered a huge hatred.

"It's blocking the road..." Li Qi sighed, looked up at the sky, and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing him like this, the Demon Prince chuckled: "I understand that things that hinder the path are everywhere, not just the Demonic Path. Even the Demonic Path itself is also blocked everywhere. For example, the previous Death Demon, he was blocked by all kinds of things. Heaven hinders, and at the same time hinders all heavens. If the two sides of things are successfully reconciled, then one can go a step further, but if the raw materials are not enough, how can one reconcile them?"

As he spoke, the Demon Prince stretched out his hand and looked at the palm of his hand. In the palm of his hand, his palm prints spread out.

If there is someone who is good at divination and fortune-telling, you can see that in his palm prints, the ground lines are snake-shaped, with a little trace at first, and then gradually become lighter, wider, and lighter in color.

This is a dangerous sign of premature death.

According to the prediction of this palm print, he should have died long ago.

Li Qi looked at the Demon Prince and knew what he was thinking about.

The body of an ordinary person is divided into yin and yang, which are the basic components of all things in the world. The path of yin and yang is a road to the sky, and the path of the sun and the moon is an important part of it.

But there is only Yang Qi in the Demon Prince's body, and no Yin Qi at all, so he does not have "two sides", he only has one side.

Therefore, there is no such thing as reconciling yin and yang. This must be a hurdle in his future.

At this time, Li Qi said: "Why bother to reconcile? Since everything has two sides, then the existence of one side means that the other side already exists."

The Demon Prince turned his head and glanced at Li Qi.

Then, he nodded: "Yes, everything on the road is an obstacle, and it may also be a help. Unexpectedly, Li Qi, you see this more clearly than me. Although you are cowardly, you are indeed O wise man.”

"As friends, let's give each other some advice. Your words inspired me a lot. Your wisdom is indeed better than mine, but in terms of bravery, you are weaker than me." The Demon Prince seemed unhappy. He was used to receiving favors from others, so after being reminded by Li Qi, he immediately offered to repay the favor.

Li Qi wanted to decline politely, but when he heard the other party mentioned courage, he immediately sat up straight and listened attentively.

This is indeed his most serious problem at present, and it is also the reason why Zhu Fengdan wants to force him. If he can get the answer from the Demon Prince, then Shen Shuibi's matter may be solved.

"You are too smart and your perception is too strong. Standing in front of you, I can still feel a strong gaze on me and everything around me, as if wanting to incorporate all information into your "Head, so much information makes you cautious," the Demon Prince said.

What he said was almost exactly the same as Zhu Fengdan, which made Li Qi admire him a little.

Being able to make the same judgment as a great Zhu is enough to prove that the Demon Prince's insights and suggestions are worthy of attention.

"So, my suggestion to you is to take off your Daoyun and experience the feeling of being a 'blind man'." The Demon Prince said, and then he pointed at himself: "I don't have any innate Daoyun. I also found the bamboo stick later.”

"Compared with you, the proud men of heaven, I have nothing, and even I am still very deficient, but this does not prevent me from walking up step by step. Maybe you should experience the feeling of a mortal, so that you know what it means to be brave. ." The Demon Prince suggested to Li Qi calmly.

Take it off and really know the rhyme? Li Qi was stunned.

He had never thought of such a thing.

After all, he has long been accustomed to knowing rhyme, just like a person is accustomed to having eyes.

This habit has been ingrained in the heart, just like when a person opens his eyes, he can see things of course. If he can't, that person will definitely be scared to death.

The same goes for Li Qi. If he really knew that Yun had disappeared, his first reaction would be to be scared to death. No one would think about finding a time to remove their own eyeballs, right?

As the Demon Prince spoke, he propped up his chin with his fingers and shook his head slightly: "Well, it seems too painful for you to take off the innate Daoyun. So, let's do this. I know a Demon Dao of the five-aggregate demon lineage. The monk is good at covering the mind with bad energy. If you can trust it, you can let him come and cover your Taoist charm."

"Covering the Dao Yun...can this be done?" Li Qi was a little surprised.

"Everything is always connected. The essence of the senses is to detect and return. As long as this process can be terminated, it is enough, and the five-aggregate demon lineage is best at this." The Demon Prince said.

The essence of the senses is to detect and return. For example, what the eyes see are photons emitted from the outside world, and what the ears see is mechanical waves.

Illusion actually allows you to detect wrong things, while the five-aggregate demon is more advanced. He directly tamperes with your receiving end, making everything you see different.

And if at the receiving end, Zhen Zhi Yun is directly blocked, Li Qi will indeed lose this sense.

"Maybe, it's feasible." At this time, Shen Shuibi, who was pretending to be dead, suddenly spoke.

The matter involved Li Qi, and she actually talked to a stranger.

Li Qi turned to look at her, and the Demon Prince also cast his eyes on Shen Shuibi.

The Demon Prince knew this person. It was this woman who came to save Li Qi when he was in hell.

But Shen Shuibi didn't pay attention to his gaze, but continued: "There is just one question. Can the person you called really be trusted?"

To do something to the five aggregates is to ask someone else to perform an operation on you. If you don't trust someone, then who would dare to operate on someone casually?

"Well... I do have this concern, so let's do this. You wait for me for a while. After a while, my Dao foundation should be laid. By then, I will be promoted to the sixth level, and I will have the ability to operate the five aggregates. My words , should be trustworthy, right?" the Demon Prince said.

Li Qi nodded, indeed, he would have forgotten it if he didn't remind him.

The Demon Prince is actually a fellow practitioner of the Four Meridians, and he has all the characteristics of the Demon Path at the same time.
