Myriad Paths

If a native, and a very ordinary native, can think of something that Li Shiwei can't think of, then why does Li Shiwei look down on the wisdom of the collective civilization?

So, in the eighteenth year of claiming to be a hero, Li Shiwei finally realized what "normal mind" means.

The so-called normal mind is not to be humble when meeting someone better, and not to be arrogant when meeting someone worse.

Do not blindly worship those who are stronger than you, nor blindly despise those who are weaker than you.

The key lies in "blindness".

Strong and weak are actually very stupid classifications. If you simply judge the level by killing power, then the first sect in the world should be martial arts, after all, martial arts is famous for being invincible at the same level.

The top martial artists who come from orthodox martial arts have a fist like the sun, and when they punch out, all laws are broken, and they are likely to be invincible at the same level.

Rendao is already at the top of the combat power. He has an official position of the same level, and he has his own cultivation. He is a rare double grade in the world, but after a martial artist of the same level gets close to him, he can only hope to "retreat unscathed".

But the martial arts can only be a second-rate sect, the reason is that fighting and killing are not the highest pursuit of the sect. Although combat power is the foundation of survival, fighting is not what the sect wants.

Killing power and combat power are to help you to pursue the Tao, and they are a great help, but they are only means, not the purpose.

Li Shiwei got this wrong.

She looked down on this world. It was just a seventh-grade world. Even those so-called seventh-grade masters, in fact, could not beat Li Shiwei.

Li Shiwei was certainly not an opponent if she relied on herself, but the stack of talismans in her pocket was not vegetarian. They were drawn by Shen Shuibi. Ordinary seventh-grade masters would be deadly if they were hit by two shots.

Therefore, Li Shiwei felt that this world was nothing. Anyway, as long as she was not surrounded and killed, she could kill through it.

But after being hit on the head by Lu De and reminded by Shitou, she realized what the commonality she wanted to find was.

Commonality is actually the manifestation of the Tao in many civilizations.

So, it is what it is now.

Two years passed in a flash.

In the past two years, she has traveled to various places and countries, looking for subtle commonalities and the existence of the "Tao".

And Shitou continued to stay with Lu De. He liked this child very much. In the past two years, Lu De, with the help of Shitou's knowledge and his own efforts, became the youngest high-level mentor in history and attracted the attention of the whole country.

Everything seemed to be on the right track.

One day two years later, Li Shiwei waved goodbye to some farmers and thanked them for the fruit wine they gave her with a chuckle.

This is a very interesting custom. They would use the feet of young girls to step on local fruits and then take the broken pieces to make wine. Li Shiwei was invited to participate in local activities and got some fruit wine as a reward after stepping on them.

Then, she carried the fruit wine, washed her feet, put on her shoes, said goodbye to the enthusiastic villagers, and prepared to embark on the journey again.

However, this time she didn't walk far, but saw a villager carrying an ordinary iron sword coming towards her.

The corner of Li Shiwei's eyes jumped.

Then, she pretended not to see it and walked past as if nothing had happened.

However, when they passed by, the villager smiled and said, "The wine from Duolunda Winery is pretty good. Can you buy me a drink?"

"Okay, wine is something that really only tastes good when shared." Li Shiwei was not stingy. She took out the fruit wine she had just taken from her pocket and placed it on a tree stump by the roadside.

Then, she pinched her hands together, and the soil on the ground flew out and was shaped into a cup by an invisible force. Then Li Shiwei took a breath, opened her mouth, and blew out a mouthful of true fire from her chest.

As the daughter of Shen Shuibi, and a Taoist monk, she certainly knew the traditional art of Taoism, alchemy, and the true fire needed for alchemy was naturally not lacking.

The true fire burned, and the soil melted quickly. It was not something like burning glaze, but it directly reached the melting point and turned into glass.

Then, she used the method of spouting water to spray out some spiritual springs. Under the quenching of water and fire, the originally ordinary soil instantly turned into a set of crystal clear and exquisite wine glasses.

If people in the world were here, they would be able to see the magic of her trick. This is the Taoist method of water and fire.

Water method, fire method, thunder method, the Taoist's signature skills, Li Shiwei also used them in a very good way.

The villager certainly didn't have this insight, but his instinct also sensed the extraordinaryness of this trick, so he said: "This method, it's a waste to use it to make cups, right?"

Li Shiwei placed the cup on the stump and began to pour wine. While pouring, she said: "Methods are used. It's good to be useful. Why do we need to distinguish between high and low? Compared with killing people and making cups, I think making cups is better."

This is the truth. The two years of travel have made Li Shiwei realize and experience the importance of a normal mind.

"This kind of words... sounds quite peaceful, not at all like the words of someone who invaded the world." The villager picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

After saying this, the atmosphere seemed much more depressed.

The wind blew over the two people, and the temperature of the air seemed to be two degrees lower, blowing the surrounding birds to shrink their heads.

"This is not an invasion, and I am not planning to invade." Li Shiwei said with a smile, and then stretched out her hand, and saw that the surroundings began to warm up.

"It can be seen that you have no hostility, but the countries are about to fight because of your invasion." The villager said so.

This is true.

In the past two years or so, due to the technology of the Triangular Eye, relations between countries have rapidly deteriorated, and the 'beasts' have also launched a large number of attacks. The situation in the entire world has become confusing, conflicts have become more and more serious, and even war seems to be On the verge of breaking out, the new technology brought by Li Shiwei still has a huge impact on the original society.

Such drastic technological changes will inevitably give rise to brand-new social contradictions, and these social contradictions are unlikely to be resolved peacefully, and will ultimately involve the intertwining of iron and fire.

Li Shiwei shook her head and said, "That is your business. I have never provoked a war."

But the villager asked: "Does it really have nothing to do with you? Those technologies were brought by you, right? The triangular eye must also be a lie concocted by you?"

"You make these mistakes, and then pretend to be nonchalant and peace-loving, wandering around this country, a visitor from outside the world, do you really take it for granted?"

"I have been following your footsteps for three months. I admit that you are a peaceful existence and have a love for everything. You treat everyone equally, whether it is a poor guest house or a wealthy palace. I asked about the places you passed by. Everything, everyone, everyone says that you are a friendly and kind person, and everything proves your gentleness and kindness, which is why I drink with you so peacefully."

"Visitor from outer space, please tell me, what is your purpose? Why do you want to stir up disputes in this world, and then enjoy peace as if nothing has happened." The villager said.

While he was speaking, he had taken off the sword from his back and placed the rusty sword on the tree stump. He stared at Li Shiwei closely, waiting for the answer from this extremely dangerous guest.

Li Shiwei originally explained something, but when she started to speak, she stopped again.

Then, she took a sip of wine in silence and said, "That was an accident. I originally wanted to destroy those things, but one of you noticed me, so I had no choice but to leave."

The villager nodded, seeming to agree with this statement, so he continued: "In that case, now, I... No, it's not just me, we hermits want to destroy these technologies, these foreign The technology is not a good thing, it has blocked the development of our original technique, and is about to lead to a war that will sweep the world. "

"Do you need my help?" Li Shiwei asked.

"No, I need you to die." The villager said frankly: "In this world, there are already a group of supporters of the Triangular Eye, supporters of your technology. If I want to eliminate them, I am afraid it will directly trigger a civil war. , this is not what we want to see.”

"However, if we eliminate you during the battle, then we can openly declare that your technology is wrong and has fatal weaknesses, and then we can naturally eliminate those technologies and get everything back on track."

"You are a good person, but this is for the sake of all sentient beings."

"Do I need to die? Why can't I embrace such changes? The technology I brought has no weaknesses. If it can be accepted and integrated, it will have many benefits." Li Shiwei shook her head.

"The benefits may not be there, but the disadvantages are obvious. If there is civil war at this moment, even extinction is not impossible." The villager said.

Having said this, the two of them almost understood the source of the conflict.

This kind of conflict has nothing to do with personal hatred. It can even be said that the other party seems to admire Li Shiwei a little, but he still has to take action because he cannot destroy the technology brought by Li Shiwei without destroying Li Shiwei.

Thinking of this, two words suddenly popped into Li Shiwei's mind.

‘Tao Zheng’.

The two of them had different understandings of the world, so an irreconcilable contradiction arose.

After realizing this, Li Shiwei was in a daze.

But at the moment when she was in a trance, the village man clenched the hilt of his sword, and the martial arts spirit poured out from his back, condensing into a shadow, which was the dharma of a warrior.

Of course, it is still different from other Taoist laws, because this is actually the manifestation of the divine will of martial arts.

But there is actually no difference. After all, the dharma of other Taoist traditions is also the manifestation of one's own Taoism, but the martial arts... is just a little bit special.

The long sword was originally unsheathed and could not be unsheathed. However, the moment the sword was unsheathed, all the rust on it was peeled off, and the sword instantly turned into a bright brilliance and stabbed straight into Li Shiwei's body!

The energy surges into the clouds and waves, destroying mountains and splitting seas wherever the attack reaches!

Li Shiwei did not resist, but was hit directly on her body and flew backwards. Her body was picked up and thrown away by the air waves like a leaf, and half of her body was torn apart by the sword energy!

However, her voice remained.

"Indeed, the Triangular Eye is my fault, so I won't resist this time, but I can't die yet, so I will resist next." Li Shiwei's voice was slightly trembling, and it could be seen that after enduring the seventh-grade first The blow was still too forced for her.

She was a little scared.

Fortunately, the opponent is a reckless warrior. If it were a magic technique, he might really die.

However, she suppressed her fear and decided to face it all.

The half of her torn body also turned into lunar energy and quickly returned.

"Elemental creature?" The villager's pupils moved.

Impossible, it was all flesh and blood just now, why did it suddenly turn into an elemental creature?

"I don't know what an elemental creature is, but... I'm just not made entirely of meat." Li Shiwei said, showing her second trait.

She is the daughter of the moon spirit, so she naturally has the nature of the moon spirit. She has never been a real flesh and blood body.

But the sword energy continued to prevent her from recovering like a tarsal maggot.

She took out a box of pills and swallowed one, only to see that the seventh-grade sword energy was easily eliminated, and her body recovered quickly.

The next moment, another sword struck.

But Li Shiwei no longer defended passively, but waved her hands, and a large number of talismans spilled out!

The thunder method is revealed, and the sky roars!

The noise and trembling of electricity suddenly erupted! A huge thunderstorm cloud composed of dark clouds suddenly appeared, and the thunder and lightning was furious!

The accumulated dark clouds in the sky glowed because of the lightning inside, the air was dissociated, and the surrounding area began to be filled with ozone. Lightning flashed across the clouds, and the roar of lightning resounded in the sky.

However, it was another sword.

A sword light suddenly appeared in front of Li Shiwei's eyes!

Before the sword arrives, the sword energy arrives first. The fierce sword intention is enough to make any enemy in this world fearful and dare not take the sword lightly!

She was not in a hurry, the talisman in her hand flashed, and the thunder struck the sword light fiercely. While canceling the sword energy, she began to set up a large formation nearby.

Moreover, it is a landscape formation!

This is what her father taught her!

She already knows the world quite well. At this moment, using the talisman as the base of the formation, herself as the formation eye, and the many treasures on her body, she can almost instantly gather the favorable weather, time and place around her to strengthen herself and weaken the enemy.

But the opponent is a warrior.

Warriors don't have so many bells and whistles.

He just caught the sword and struck again.

The sun was turning over the pond, and the stars were flying with the light, but I saw that the martial arts spirit behind the villager continued to rise, and the aura bursting out of it even reached the point of dazzling.

With such a dazzling light, Li Shiwei had to face the other party's aura.

"...Is that, protection?" Li Shiwei looked at the martial arts spirit of the other party. It was a guard, a gentleness hidden in the shadows, and an insistence on vowing to guard everything in front of her after gaining eternal life.

This is the opponent's martial arts spirit.

No wonder he took the initiative to find Li Shiwei to do this.

The other party must have taken the initiative to assume the role of guardian of the world.

His arrival may even start a world war, so he must let himself die.

It's just, it's not possible.

Li Shiwei thought, the talisman in her hand condensed, the virtual dharma took shape, and the landscape formation started!

Value cannot be measured by strength or weakness, Li Shiwei has learned this.

However, these natives... are indeed weak.

However--

The next moment, three seventh-grade figures suddenly appeared from all around.

It was a siege from the beginning!
