Myriad Paths

In the darkness, Jing Wuzhen, holding the Zai Sword, swung the sword again.

Zai Sword is a ritual instrument for dividing sacrificial sacrifices, not a killing weapon like the eight-sided heavy sword before.

Sacrifice is the most important part of the sacrifice. It is said that: "Let the Prime Minister, Zhu, Shi Shuai Li surname, offer sacrifices, offerings, jade and silk to the gods, without praying."

Rendao once said: "The husband takes the man of heaven to attack the city of heaven. This is to assassinate the people of heaven, deprive the position of Zhen Shen, overthrow the Sheji, and kill the sacrifices. This is not the benefit of heaven."

In this sentence, the importance of "killing the sacrifices" is ranked next to "depriving Zhen Shen of his position" and "overthrowing Sheji", which shows its importance.

Sheji, in fact, originally meant "the residence of gods", and the so-called "Shrine" is the same. She is the temple of gods, and Ji refers to the five grains, which is a general term for food. The two together refer to the situation in ancient times when gods and humans lived together.

In other words, the sword in front of him no longer divides things in reality, but the power that can kill and sacrifice and divide power.

The demon kings also realized this.

They also realized that Jing Wuzhen's martial arts divine will is not simply bombardment.

This warrior is so treacherous that he actually used a secret method to hide his true divine will, making himself look like a brainless reckless man, but in fact he is rough and delicate.

Her martial arts divine will is not bombardment, but "sanction".

Sanction is divided into two parts.

The violence just now is "judgment". "Judgment" means killing, so there are such terms as "self-judgment" and "judgment", which means killing oneself.

With the power of "judgment", it is the violent bombardment just now, showing unparalleled killing power. This is the "power" necessary for punishment, and it is a way to maintain divine will with violence.

But the most important thing is another meaning.

Control is also called judgment. Things have taste, which can be judged, and it is also called stop. Control and judgment are actually transpositions.

The word "regulation" has a more profound meaning.

Just like the power of the sacrifice divided by the sword, the power of "regulation" is not only killing, but also using killing to regulate everything.

This even has a shadow of humanity, because "regulation" is actually the predecessor of "rules", and even has the term "regulation" and "system".

However, it is a bit too early, and "regulation" is a thing before the coexistence of humans and gods.

However... who still remembers that when humans and gods coexisted, the human race in the world did not have various methods of cultivation, and made many efforts to survive in the wilderness of the ancient times. (For details, see Chapter 257)

The two most important measures are witches and martial arts.

In the wilderness era, the human race declined and lived in the shadow of various gods. There were witches and shamans who mediated between those friendly gods, but there were also warriors who went to attack those unfriendly gods. The martial arts was born from this.

The martial arts refers to the conquest itself, which is the way for the human race to fight against those so-called "enemies".

The shamanic way was the way people at that time communicated with friendly gods.

Although now it seems that friendly gods are not necessarily good, and evil gods that eat people are not necessarily bad, for the human race at that time, survival was the first priority, and good and evil were naturally divided in this way.

Li Qi, who was behind, was also slightly stunned.

When Jing Wuzhen's martial arts divine will was fully unfolded, the breath was very ancient, so ancient that it could be traced back to the beginning, when the human way and the shamanic way were not separated.

At that time, the shamans were the main leaders of the human race, and even the kings of the people had to listen to the advice of the shamans. After all, the shamans were the most educated group of the human race at that time.

And those who assisted the shamans were the warriors at that time.

At the beginning, the earliest group of warriors in the human way were the original "guardians" of the shamans.

And now, I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, a martial arts divine will directly inherited from the ancient warriors, plus Li Qi, the orthodox shaman, happened to be connected together.

Just like how the witches and warriors ran together in the wild land for the human race to find a way to survive under the gods countless billions of years ago.

Although now it is not for the gods, but to fight against the devil.

The swinging of the sword is not open and close, on the contrary, the swinging of this sword is very slow and very "useless".

This is not suitable for fighting at all, only suitable for watching.

However, this sense of ritual is not for others to see.

When slaughtering the sacrifice, the ritualist must clearly perceive that there is a life in his hand that is disappearing. This life has weight, and the ritualist must perceive this weight and bear it.

This is also the origin of the original concept of "cause and effect". Although killing is inevitable, killing itself is still a means that should be respected or even avoided.

For the ancient human race, the intense shock brought by cutting the flesh with a sharp weapon in the sacrificial ceremony is their way of keeping awe of this world.

Of course, humanity no longer cares about such things. Humanity does not believe in retribution, nor does it believe that the lives of all things have weight. The monsters coming out of the assembly line in the slaughterhouse have proved this.

Even the witches and shamans have become contemptuous because of their current power. Although there are still witches and shamans like Zhong Minglou, people like Li Qi, although they cannot be said to kill innocent people indiscriminately, they really cannot be said to have any respect for life.

But in front of Jing Wuzhen, it is not like this.

She took this battle seriously, just like every previous battle. She faced her enemy with an almost pious attitude. When she killed the opponent, she would feel sad for him.

This is not hypocrisy, this is a necessity.

Killing is necessary in this world, and someone must do it. This is to maintain and open up new paths, but this does not mean that killing is right.

For Jing Wuzhen, taking action against the devil was for the greater good, but this did not mean that her killing was just.

Killing is not right in any way, it is just the lesser of two evils.

Therefore, burdened with this kind of sin, but still using martial arts to clear certain obstacles and 'sanction' certain things in this world, this is what Jingwu Zhen's martial arts divine will expresses.

In Li Qi's view, this kind of martial arts divine will was very awkward.

It's like killing someone and then kowtow to the other person's body to apologize.

Everyone is already dead, what’s the use of kowtow?

However, after all, the Tao is different, and everyone's values ​​are also different. It is normal to have differences, and we need to understand each other.

Because this does not hinder the lethality of the sword of sanctions.

The devil is not afraid of the killing sword, but it avoids the 'killing sword'.

Nothing else, just because of the 'burden' displayed by her martial arts and divine will. This heavy but restrained state of mind made it difficult for evil thoughts to invade.

The battle lasted for a few seconds. The three demon kings looked at each other and then quickly retreated.

They were ready to abandon the Demon King and run away.

Because Li Qi's ultimate reading move has been completed, and it doesn't seem to be too powerful!

The other party is offering sacrifices to the Buddhas, using the power of the Buddhist heavens in his body to obtain the true Buddha energy!

The first thing that can be seen is that Li Qi used the power of the Buddhist heavens to bless Zai Jian's sword energy, forming an extraordinary restraint on the devil. Zai Jian itself is a method of restraining desires and worries.

Demonic thoughts entered Jing Wuzhen's mind and thoughts.

The ears, eyes, limbs, five palaces and hundreds of bones were cut into pieces and divided into items one by one.

However - although it is useful, it is not of much use.

This is just the practice of ‘Zai Jian’.

You should know that a person's ears, eyes, limbs, and five senses, when combined, form one mind.

The heart is indeed the master of form, but the heart is not outside the form. Every organ and function of the human body has its own possibility.

If a person can be as sharp as the above-mentioned ears and eyes, and can fully exert the reason why the world is in this body one by one, and bring out the highest possible performance of each of them one by one, and make them all reach the extreme, then this can be called the exhaustion of nature. .

In fact, it is not difficult to do your best, you just need to be able to "practice it". The so-called person who practices form means that a person has one body, one form, and must have one nature. Man can shape what God has given him, practice it one by one, and try to develop it to its highest possibility.

Everyone has the same form, and everyone has the same mind. If you practice the form with all your heart, everyone should be able to know and do it. If a person is hungry and wants to eat, he must eat.

In other words, it’s actually very simple——

For a warrior, the body is the ‘mind’.

If the devil wants to invade Xian Wuzhen's 'heart', her body must be broken.

But in front of him, her body was like Mount Sumeru!

At this moment, he saw the Buddha energy rising in her body.

Under Li Qi's blessing, he saw that 129,600 acupoints all over his body were opened, and in each acupoint there was the aura of the Buddhist heavens!

The power of the merit heaven, the eloquence heaven, the Brahma heaven, and the Tujini heaven, the Buddhist heavens that Li Qi once saw in Buddhism, poured into his power.

In the eyes of many demon kings, Jing Wuzhen's body can be seen reappearing like a spiritual mountain! Countless virtual images of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas emerged from the acupoints all over the body!

In the acupoint, there are all kinds of Buddhas with various appearances and deacons, auspicious gods, wearing flower crowns on their heads, wearing heavenly clothes, hanging necklaces on their necks, and they are elegant and noble, and they are sitting in the center.

Both hands are guarded by Brahma and Sakyamuni. Behind the two gods there is a Qibao Mountain, and five-color auspicious clouds appear above the head. There is a six-tusked white elephant in the cloud. The trunk of the elephant twists an agate bottle, and the bottle continuously pours out the sounds of all living beings. As if in the ear.

Qi and blood gush out from the head, forming the phantom body of Benzaitian, with six arms holding objects, holding fire wheels, swords, bows, arrows, axes, and ropes respectively. The middle two arms clasp their hands together, and there are lions, tigers, foxes, jackals and other animals at their feet.

The lower body sees the Precious Light Heaven, with bodhisattvas stationed in the acupoints.

In his right hand, he can see the moon, palace and sky, and all the acupuncture points are full of real people.

All the monks stay in the temple, each in his own order.

Wei Tuotian is supported behind him, with six heads and twelve arms, holding a bow and arrow, and riding a peacock.

Under the influence of the heavens, a pagoda emerged. Inside the pagoda was Vairocana Buddha, with three sides and eight arms, and three different faces.

To be honest, at this moment, Jing Wuzhen, in cooperation with Li Qi, has evolved to the point where the fourth-level demon king cannot break through the defense.

Originally, warriors were the best in defense and attack, but now they actively opened their bodies to accommodate the Buddhist heavens, suppressing the demonic energy to the point where they were almost unable to move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the demon kings immediately wanted to escape.

They don't have the dignity to fight to the death. In fact, the devil rarely fights head-on. They are all shady people behind the scenes. The devil prince is the exception among the exceptions.

At this time, it's time to make a decision.

Jing Wuzhen turned to look at Li Qi.

Let the person in charge of thinking decide what to do, should we keep them or let them go?

If you keep them, you will have to pay a higher price. After all, if you want to defeat four orthodox practitioners of the demonic path with two against four, you will never be able to do it without injury, so you still have to leave something behind.

However, Jing Wuzhen is confident that before he loses his fighting power, he can definitely beat the three opponents to death and send him to reincarnation.

That's right, if you want to annihilate the true spirit after being sent into reincarnation... it's still too difficult. She is only 30% sure that she can destroy the other party's god, but she is 100% sure about sending the other party into reincarnation.

It was such a pleasure to cooperate with this wizard. Although I didn’t know who the other party was, the fact that he was able to come to the hot sands of the devil’s path to defeat these devils showed that he was an upright person, and he could be considered clean and tidy in fighting.

Although it can be seen from the methods that the other party is actually a bit indecisive, it doesn't matter, they are Wu Jin after all, and I heard that they are both mothers-in-law.

No one is perfect.

Oh, there may be some on the human side, but that kind of perfect person... doesn't matter, it's better to have some flaws.

Jing Wuzhen's mind was racing, waiting for Li Qi's reply.

Li Qi, on the other hand, thought about it for a while.

It's not impossible to beat those demon kings to death. In fact, that was Li Qi's plan from the beginning.

In fact, according to his expectation, if one fights four and kills all the opponents, it is quite certain. There is at least a 90% chance of winning, and the other 10% is due to some special accident.

But even if there is such a small accident, Li Qi can guarantee that he will be fine. Although he may be injured, but his body is gone, what other injuries are worth caring about?

However, now it seems that it is not necessary.

There is no need for those, it is completely meaningless, but letting the other party go is more in line with Li Qi's future plans.

So, Li Qi waved his hand to signal a truce and let the three demon kings leave.

Seeing this, Jing Wuzhen put down his sword, and the energy and blood around his body dispersed.

Everything is calm.

The Endless Outer Territory is still in darkness. The battle that just spread out for many light-years is just a faint flash of light judging from the vast area of ​​the Endless Outer Territory.

"Li Qi, the demon king has been beaten away. What do you say about the demon king in your body?" Jing Wuzhen returned to Li Qi's side.

"It's a trivial matter, don't worry. The Purity Dharma was created by Buddha, and he cannot get rid of it." Li Qi waved his hand: "Let's talk about other things, such as... Jing Wuzhen, why do you want to deal with the devil?"

"Why?" Jing Wuzhen smiled: "I come here regularly to sweep it. That city makes me feel sick, how about you?"

"My daughter is possessed by a demon." Li Qize said.

"Look, this is the disgusting part, so what about you? After this battle, do you want to go? It's quite fun to fight with you." Jing Wuzhen said.
