Wandao long distance

Chapter 528 The Weird West Paradise
Li Qi didn't delay for too long. After dealing with the final matter, he set off for the West Paradise. This time, he traveled alone. After all, the scheduled itinerary didn't need to take too long.

Four months on the road, and the rest of the time to visit those high-ranking people in Xitian, get their advice, and then go home.

It's that simple.

As for Shan Xuanyu and Li Shiwei's failure to control their emotions, Li Qi told Shen Shuibi before leaving that Rabbit will take care of these things.

Who would have thought that a large stone that has been standing for 2000 years and has not practiced yet has a mountain Xuanyu hidden inside it?
In other words, Shanxuanyu is the real body, and it is the stones outside that cover his mind and make him look stupid.

really interesting.

But Li Shiwei is very boring. Although she is only half a year old, she still shows the traits of her parents who like to think, which makes Li Qi like it very much, but Li Qi found that she really can't control her emotions.

This may be called "children's innocence".

It is precisely because of innocence that it is particularly easy to be controlled by emotions.

I am very happy when I am happy, and I am very focused when I am meditating, so... when I am angry, I am also very manic.

Stone is her friend, but she completely forgot about it when she was angry.

Shen Shuibi has to teach her to control.

Li Qifei thought of it in mid-air.

But, thinking about it, he suddenly lost his mind.

Li Qi realized one thing.

If the childlike innocence is the reason for their unwise actions, then what is the reason for Li Qi himself who thinks twice before acting and is full of worries and speculations?

Children are because of innocence, so Li Qi's own conservatism...is it because of innocence?

Li Qi was good at thinking, and immediately thought of himself because of a little action of his daughter. If it is innocent to say that he cannot control his emotions, does being able to control his emotions mean that his thoughts are too heavy?
And the mind is too heavy to let the emotions seep in?If you can't experience emotions, will your emotions become lighter?Did those sources of power disappear?

Li Qi knows that emotions are the source of many things, and may even be... the source of courage.

However, without other clues and hints, Li Qi couldn't continue thinking.

Thinking is fire, and fire needs firewood to burn, and firewood is your knowledge, your insights, and your various experiences.

Thinking without experience is just fantasy, and experience without thinking is no different from a dead thing.

That's why human saints have a famous saying, which is called "learning without thinking will lead to death, thinking without learning will lead to death".

Li Qi is like this now, he wants to go deeper from this angle, but finds that he doesn't have the corresponding knowledge and experience, so he can't continue to think.

So he can only give up.

"Sigh, I still don't know much, life is too short, and I have seen too little." Li Qi sighed, obviously had a good idea, but unfortunately he was limited by his own knowledge and couldn't go deep.

Then keep these in mind, isn't the reason for going to Xitian to solve the problem of lack of knowledge?

Li Qi thought about this and continued to speed up.

Xitian is directly bordered by Wushen Mountain, so most of the time is spent rushing to Liesu.

Wushen Mountain is the land in the southwest, and Buddhism is the land in the extreme west. Which kind of direct contact is it?

Arrived at Liesu, activated it proficiently, and with a click, came to the border between Wushen Mountain and Xitian.

Across the border between Xitian and Wushen Mountain, Li Qi looked into the distance.

Wow……

desert.

It's really a desert, no...it can't be called a desert, because it's not pure yellow sand, there are actually simple grass blades and some gravel growing on it.

To be precise, it should be called... Gobi, right?

The world is a roughly circular continent, floating in the boundless void. There is no world barrier, but it is surrounded by the wind layer, which maintains the inner peace, and has downward gravity from nowhere. Outside the Gangfeng layer, there are two moons and suns of the same size floating around the world.

The topography of this circular continent is high in the west and low in the east, so the water will naturally flow towards the east and flow into the East China Sea, and then fall down into the void at the end of the East China Sea, forming a super-large waterfall that is rare in the world. Then it is rolled up by the wind layer and recycled to the whole world.

Therefore, Xitian is the highest place, and almost all the water flows down and flows into the Central Plains, southwest and northwest. It is not that there is no water here, but that the water will slip away quickly. After being washed away, this place naturally looks like a mixture of desert and grassland.

A thin layer of rock debris covers the ground, which is because of the traces of the massive water flow. Large areas of sandstone, limestone, and chalk make up the ground, and some tenacious grasses struggle to lift their heads from the gravel.

The scenery is desolate, if people live in such a place, I am afraid it will not be very comfortable, right?
This reminded Li Qi of the desolate plateau rock desert.

Buddhism... Didn't it mean that compassion is in the heart?Shouldn't it be the same as humanity, directly transforming the natural environment so that everyone can get joy?
For the powerful beings in the world, modifying the natural environment is not too difficult, is it?Humane weather forecasts are all yearly, and the weather can be seen every day.

Then...those merciful Buddhas, why don't they change the natural environment of the Western Paradise?Instead, let mortals suffer in this environment?

Oh, maybe I thought too much, maybe only the outside is like this, and when I go inside, I can see the land made of the seven treasures mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures.

Li Qi thought so.

So, he stepped forward and walked into the Western Paradise.

The surrounding area is barren, and some wild animals and vegetation can be seen, but there is nothing special in general. It is a very ordinary place, and the source of heaven and earth is not very strong.

Li Qi just walked in the Gobi Desert for more than a day, and finally saw a little bit of green. Is that...an oasis in the stone desert?

If there is an oasis, it should be populated.

Quickly moved towards that side, and after a while, Li Qi saw the body of the oasis.

It is roughly a few lakes, not big, only three or four miles wide. In Wushen Mountain, this kind of lake can only be called a bathing pond, but it is already very precious in this place.

Water is the source of life. For ordinary people, water is an indispensable thing.

Therefore, in this oasis, there are several markets surrounding it, forming a settlement.

It should be a market, right?Li Qi could see that many mortals with rough skin and abnormal blush were living in it.

Li Qi fell to the ground, and walked towards it in a form that blended into nature.

They are all mortals, so it is impossible to see him, so Li Qi just entered the market to observe their daily life.

This observation lasted for two days.

Li Qi shuttled through the mortal world like a mysterious ghost, looking around for the situation of mortals.

But, no matter how you look at it, these mortals... are very ordinary.

This is not a farming society, but a life of living by water and grass. Judging from their appearance, this oasis does not exist all the time, but only in this season.

When the oasis dries up, they will move to other places.

Regarding this point, Li Qi can see it from their houses. The houses they live in are not permanent residence types, but tents and some structures, which are easy to dismantle and take away.

At the same time, there are also a lot of livestock, obviously nomadic.

Among these people, there are naturally practitioners, but most of them are around the ninth rank, most of them are martial arts, and only a few monks practice the Buddhist way, or...the way of enlightenment.

The strongest person in the entire settlement is an eighth-rank warrior, a middle-aged woman called "Mum" by others, wielding two scimitars, and is quite powerful among the eighth rank, but in Li Qi's view, It still belongs to the category of mortals, and it belongs to the kind of people who practice by themselves and are promoted by talent and luck. If they can be promoted to the seventh rank, they may be able to get in touch with the world of real practitioners in the world.

That is to say, there is not a single truly systematic practitioner in this settlement.

Li Qi was very, very puzzled.

It is true that whether ordinary people can embark on the road of practice depends on whether the orthodoxy is willing to preach.

For example, humanity, their academy study is completely free, and it is compulsory study, everyone must go through the education of the academy, in which the idea of ​​humanity and the corresponding exercises will be transmitted, from the cultivation resources to the exercises and then to the students. From the teacher, everything is arranged by the imperial court.

In other words, as far as humanity is concerned, these residents are inherently aware of the existence of the world of practitioners, and everyone is a part of it, and they don't think there is anything unusual about it. Everyone can practice. Some people support it by violent plundering outside the entire domain and even in the world.

In Wushen Mountain, whether you can embark on the road of cultivation depends on your luck. Wushen Mountain does not prohibit the spread of any orthodoxy, even including humanity. You can get in touch with all orthodoxy in theory, as long as the other party is willing to accept you, Wushen The Tao did not take the initiative to spread, but it will not prevent you from practicing, so Li Qi can often see those mountain people who go out to worship teachers.

Humans and witches are like this, and other natural attitudes are different. The demon way is keen to enlighten all things and turn them into demons, while the Taoist school is extremely strict with mortals. It not only prevents other ways from preaching, but also does not want to cultivate new people. However, it is very difficult for mortals living in the scope of Taoism to practice.

Li Qi is still wondering what their talent screening mechanism is, it can't be... no, right?

On the side of Buddhism, it is even more strange.

Li Qi had never seen such a strange scene before, no one stopped him, there was really no one blocked him, Li Qi ran rampant nearby, and found that there are actually quite a lot of primitive practice orthodoxy in this place.

He saw some shamans who can communicate with spirits. This kind of shaman is actually the original shaman, but shamanism has long since left this primitive stage, and has already improved. I don’t know how the shaman inheritance here is preserved. .

He also saw a lot of Taoism, not the kind of Taoism, but a primitive skill similar to talismans, which is very similar to the prototype of talismans, but it is too different from today's Taoism gods, like single-celled organisms and blue whales. same difference.

This kind of situation reminded Li Qi of something that Shen Shuibi told him when he and Shen Shuibi first met a long time ago.

Preach the world.

In the past, many Dao traditions decided to preach to the whole world, but then there was a big disturbance, so they were cancelled, but this incident caused many fragments of Dao traditions to be scattered everywhere, and became the cultivation method that many ordinary people depended on for survival.

In those places where it is difficult to reach practitioners' Baiyue and Daomen, the productivity of ordinary people is almost entirely maintained by these fragments of exercises.

"No way, the Buddhist sect has compassion in mind, and is extremely keen on spreading the Dharma. They build temples all over the world, but why is their own territory like this?" Li Qi muttered to himself, feeling baffled.

Buddhism likes to teach the Dharma, which is known all over the world, and they even take pleasure in teaching the Dharma, so many people regard it as laying out cause and effect.

On the side of the monster clan, they created a Buddha child, and later cooperated with the heavenly court to forcibly turn a great sage of the monster clan into a Buddha.

On the human side, the eminent monk Kashe Moteng went to Luoyang alone, established the White Horse Temple, and established the famous "Zhongtu Buddha Source" to spread the Dharma in the Central Plains.

On the other side of Shinto, Buddhism also has a close relationship with Heavenly Court. The legendary Four Heavenly Kings, Jiguo Heavenly King, Zengzhang Heavenly King, Guangmu Heavenly King, and Duowen Heavenly King are the four guardian gods of Buddhism and also the guardians of the gate of Heavenly Court. The boundless magic power will forever protect the gate of heaven, and the connection can be seen.

There is no need to say more about the real dragon, the eight dragons are famous, and many dragon kings have become the power of the Buddhist sect. In the past, Li Qi even saw the visualization picture, which contained 57 billion real dragon thoughts.

Not to mention this, even on the other side of the Taoist sect, they also had a high-ranking Bodhisattva who went to pay homage to Tianzun, using the method of "Buddhas and immortals are also of the same origin, hanging the orb of Muni, concentrating on the spirit, and refining the golden pill to prove the fruit status", Let it achieve the position of Bodhisattva and celestial being at the same time.

In addition, let alone the entanglement with the magic way, the Buddhist scriptures are all over the world to publicize the weakness of the magic way, pointing out the heels of the magic way, even the heels of the four demons are all pointed out, and there are ways to break it.

This kind of style of sowing seeds all over the world, spreading the Dharma everywhere, wishing to pull a loudspeaker into the streets and shout, will they do nothing in their own territory and let these mortals just grow normally like this?
Li Qi didn't know what happened, but after observing for a few days, he couldn't see anything wrong.

Maybe if you untie the shackles of Zhenzhiyun, you can see something else, but it's not necessary.

These things should be answered when they meet real Buddhist practitioners.

Li Qi already knew where the Buddhist practitioners here came from. They all got it from an organization called 'Nyingma'.

The organization of Nyingma always wears a red hat and spreads the Dharma everywhere. Every once in a while, the monks of Nyingma will come to this settlement to give lectures. On the road of practice.

Li Qi was not going to wait for Ningma in this settlement.

He is ready to take the initiative to find.
