Wandao long distance

What can become a demon?
Ignorant people may tell you that beasts can become monsters.

Those who read more may say that spirits can also become monsters, so there are tree monsters produced by plants, as well as water monsters, fire monsters and other monsters made of pure temperament.

But those who know monsters will know...

All things can become demons.

Therefore, the Buddha statue in front of you is also a demon.

So, Li Qi walked over and walked to where the Buddha statue was.

Few monsters believe in Buddhism, so the Buddha statue looks very lonely. On this busy street, he just sits silently in a small corner, motionless. There are some low-quality magic weapons in front of him, as if setting up a stall. Same.

Li Qi came to the Buddha statue and said, "Shariputra?"

He called out the name directly.

A voice came from the Buddha statue: "Are you calling me?"

"Well, I heard someone say that your name is Shariputra."

"Nonsense." Who knew that the wooden Buddha statue started to move: "Recently, some people always say that I am Shariputra. Who is this Shariputra? Also, if you don't want to buy something, don't stand here blocking the road. Damn my wealth."

When the Buddha statue opened his mouth to speak, his tone was vulgar, and he had the aura of a well when he spoke.

"I'll cover the price of these things for you," Li Qi said.

When the Buddha heard this, he jumped up happily and immediately changed his face: "Okay! Okay! What are you going to buy for me? Is it air beads or silver? All the money in the world is accepted here. If you have any Kung Fu or spiritual materials are all fine!"

"Spiritual materials." Li Qi said, finding a quick stone on the ground with his finger, tapping it gently, and then handed it to the Buddha statue.

When the Buddha saw this, he immediately yelled: "Where did you come from, you bitch?! You just grabbed a rock and lied to me?!"

"See clearly." Li Qi frowned slightly.

Is this demon transformed from a Buddha statue not very smart?

Shariputra was known for his wisdom, but Li Qi did not see any wisdom in him.

Moody, spontaneous, inattentive, and even unable to distinguish between good and bad, he was far from the Shariputra in Li Qi's imagination.

Isn’t it possible to endure the mystery of being born in the womb?

No, Shariputra was already at the fifth level before his death. For a fifth-level Buddhist monk, reincarnation should not be a problem.

Either this is not Shariputra, or there is something fishy.

Over at the Buddha statue, after being scolded by Li Qi, he took another look, only to find that the stone just now had turned into a black stone.

This is a spiritual material condensed from a large amount of rustic infusion, and its value is more than three times that of these low-grade magic weapons combined.

Then the Buddha statue beamed with joy. He hurriedly slapped himself several times, so hard that the Buddha statue cracked. Then he took the Xuanhuang stone and simply lay on the ground and kowtowed to Li Qi. He said apologetically. Extremely efficient.

Li Qi shook his head slightly and said, "Get up and put your things away. I want to go sit in your place."

"My residence? Master, do you want to catch them all?" The Buddha statue was stunned.

"If I want to, can you stop me?" Li Qi asked.

When the Buddha statue thought about it, it seemed to be the case, so he said simply: "That's true, then I'm relieved. Master, please accept it."

As he spoke, he threw the Xuanhuang Stone into his hollow abdomen, then tied up the cloth on the ground and wrapped it up to make a furoshiki. He packed the low-level magic weapons inside and handed them to him respectfully. Li Qi.

Li Qi took it, opened a crack and threw it into his inner world, and then said: "Then, lead the way."

"Yes, I will take you there right away. However, judging from your handiwork and ostentation, I am probably not interested in my family background. I am afraid it has something to do with that person named 'Shariputra', right?" The Buddha statue immediately Lead the way, lead the way and talk at the same time.

This scene is extremely funny, because the other person is a Buddha statue, and the carving is not bad. He looks solemn and kind, but he walks with a sinister look and talks in a mean manner.

With the solemn and calm appearance and posture of a Buddha statue, doing such a low-level behavior actually highlights a sense of comedy.

Li Qi couldn't hold it back and everyone laughed.

It's really funny after all.

But he immediately tensed up, coughed twice, and said seriously: "What's your name?"

"The younger one is called Ergou." The Buddha statue said with a smile.

Li Qi didn't hold back this time.

It is hard for you to imagine that the solemn head of Gautama Buddha said that he was called Ergou.

As if he thought Li Qi was amused by him, the Buddha statue named Ergou turned into a demon and laughed.

Li Qi couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

However, with a smile, his voice suddenly became softer, and then he looked at Ergou: "You are quite good at playing a clown. Isn't this your first time?"

Ergou was shocked. He had made many people laugh with his Buddha face, but no one could see through it yet.

However, what he didn't know was that Li Qi didn't need to see through it at all. He could directly read the other person's mind, directly see through the other person's thinking organ, and clearly see all the other person's superficial thoughts.

"What did you say? My face was born like this. I don't know how many rolls of eyes and jokes I got for it... Oh, it makes me sad just to talk about it." He looked gloomy again.

Of course, it must still be acting.

But Li Qi didn't expose it. He simply stopped talking and just walked.

Ergou also stopped playing tricks at the right time, but continued to lead Li Qi with the Buddha's face in his face.

The journey was naturally bizarre, and Li Qi also scanned the surroundings and took everything into his own perception.

He quickly left the city.

However, at this moment, Li Qi suddenly realized that he seemed to have left the mouth of a certain beast!
After realizing this, Li Qi's perception suddenly magnified!
He suddenly realized——

That street just now was filled with monsters.

This city is a monster, and the ground beneath our feet is also a monster.

However, these monsters seem to have very slow consciousness, so they are not so lively.

But obviously, in this world of demons and lakes, almost everything is a demon!

I just said it, but people who know monsters will know...

All things can become demons.

This is also the foundation of monsters!Everything in the world has spirit.

Life is an attribute of matter, matter must contain life, and life activities and spiritual activities exist in all matter!
People are material, stones are material, cities are material, and the land under our feet is also material.

Therefore, as long as it is material, it must have a 'spirit' and a spirit.

It's a weird point of view, but there must be some deeper understanding of the world hidden in it.

It’s just that Li Qi doesn’t know yet.

However, at this time, Li Qi patted his face.

Let’s talk about those things later, it’s not now to understand the demonic path.

The top priority now is to resolve Shariputra's matter.

Moving forward with Ergou, they soon came to a ruined temple outside the city.

The ruined temple stands in the wilderness, surrounded by a loess path, with mountains behind it and a few trees. The trees are also monsters, but they have not yet developed their intelligence, only their instincts.

Looking at the Buddhist temple, it is similar. This Buddhist temple is also spiritual, but it is temporarily unconscious. The practice time is too short. I don’t know when it will wake up and become a living building like the previous city.

Ergou pointed to the dilapidated Buddhist temple and said: "Okay, sir, this is my home. I usually live here~, by the way, sir, you just said that you are here to find Shariputra. This Shariputra is a Who is he? What does it have to do with me?"

Ergou's curious question reached Li Qi's ears, so Li Qi replied: "Why do you ask this?"

Ergou chuckled: "I am just an eighth-grade person who can be seen everywhere, struggling to make a living. Now that I can be associated with such a person, I don't feel at ease, right? I just want to know more about it, maybe I can return it I can help you find some clues."

Li Qi listened to him and read his mind.

However, the results of mind reading were very exciting. Li Qi discovered that he didn't care who Shariputra was at all, but Ergou was keenly aware that if he could continue to have a relationship with Shariputra, he might be able to gain a lot of benefits from it. .

Selfish, with little cleverness but no great wisdom.

Obviously, he had been completely dazzled by the benefits, and was completely unaware that getting involved with Shariputra would not only bring benefits, but also possible death.

The risk can be seen at a glance, but Ergou completely ignored this. All he could think about was 'This time he is prosperous! 'This idea.

Li Qi began to have some doubts.

Is this kind of person really Shariputra or the reincarnation?

Li Qi thought it was impossible. As a disciple of the World-Honored Tathagata, Shariputra was an excellent type even among many Buddhist disciples. He was famous for his wisdom and could not see through the mystery in the womb. He could still pass it on to the demons, but To become like this, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the devil, right?
Li Qi stayed in the dark for the time being and took a look first.

With this in mind, Li Qi walked into the Buddhist temple with his two dogs.

The Buddhist temple is in tatters, but it is kept clean.

Entering it, it is divided into three parts, the main hall in the center, and the side rooms on both sides.

It occupies a small area and is just a small, shabby rural temple.

Walking into the main hall, I saw two Buddha statues, a large Buddha carved in stone, a full three feet high. Judging from the position of the pit, there should have been two small Buddhas next to it, but now there is only one.

Li Qi glanced at Ergou.

Obviously, after awakening his spiritual wisdom, the third one stood up and turned into a monster.

Most of the murals and sculptures in the Buddhist temples have been damaged, but there is no dust.

"You quite like to be clean. It doesn't look like you look like it." Li Qi looked at Ergou. He thought that this person probably didn't have the habit of cleaning. Was he wrong?
"Hehe... Of course I didn't clean it myself." Ergou said, scratching his head.

This look is really unconventional, especially in a Buddhist temple, smiling with a Buddha head on his head.

But Li Qi must be used to it. When he heard the other party saying that he didn't clean it, Li Qi pointed to the side room: "Is that her?"

"I really can't hide it from the master. Yes, this is my sister." Ergou said immediately: "It's just that she doesn't know anything, and she can't do anything at ordinary times. She is just a parasite, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Oh, it's not good. Throw it away.”

He looked disgusted.

But Li Qi could see what he was really thinking in his heart.

He really treats the other person as his sister.

Although monsters don't pay much attention to blood relations, after all, for monsters, family blood relations are of little use. A demonized fox will not regard other parents and brothers who are still beasts as 'same kind'.

Most of the time, the relationship is calculated based on master, disciple, cave, and initiate. As for blood relationship, it is not very important.

Therefore, this kind of emotion is quite rare among demons.

Li Qi left the main hall and walked towards the side hall.

Ergou's heart suddenly rose and he hurriedly ran to Li Qi: "Master, Master, a little girl's film has not been chosen yet. What's good to see? Let's talk about Shariputra! Let's do it! No, I know something else!"

"Just find a place to sit." Li Qi said, then came to the side room and gently opened the door.

Ergou didn't dare to stop him and could only watch Li Qi push the door open.

When the door opened, there was a little girl inside, wiping the floor.

It's not quite right to say she's a little girl, because she has many characteristics of plants, such as leaves growing out of her skin, some branches, her body also has a woody texture, and she has a flower on her head, which looks like Hair accessories, but Li Qi could see that they grew directly from the top of his head.

Seeing the stranger, the little girl seemed a little confused and was stunned for a moment.

"Water lily demon, is it the water lily enshrined in front of the Buddha?" Li Qi asked Ergou.

"Yes, the master is really good at predicting things!" Ergou nodded repeatedly.

Li Qi slightly nodded his head, which is normal. Bodhisattvas like to sit on water lilies, which represent the solemnity of the Dharma.

"The Avatamsaka Sutra" says: "There are ten Buddha lands with as many lotus-shaped worlds as the motes of dust. The lands are solid and wonderful, and the vast treasure of pure light resides in the sea of ​​lotuses and treasures. Some may live in the sea of ​​incense, etc., in all lands. In the dust, you can see the Tathagata everywhere."

It is said that there are layers of worlds in the majestic world sea of ​​Vairochana Tathagata Huazang, and among the petals of water lilies, the lotus refers to the water lily.

Water lilies can carry the power of the Buddha. This is the saying of "all kinds of bright stamens and fragrant pillars, a world sea of ​​majestic flowers."

Therefore, there are basically water lilies in Buddhist temples. Even if there are no living ones, one will be carved next to the Bodhisattva.

In this dilapidated Buddhist temple, the Buddha statues have become spirits, so there is no problem if the water lilies turn into spirits.

At this time, the water lily in front of her finally came to her senses. She immediately stood up and called Ergou happily: "Brother!" Then, she looked at Li Qi again, confused: "Who is this?"

Different from Ergou's mean appearance, as a water lily flower demon, she still has a kind of natural solemnity. After all, the water lily itself is a flower that represents the solemnity of the Dharma. This can be regarded as a certain kind of 'nature'.

"Oh, I'm your brother's guest. I just came to see you. You do your thing." Li Qi smiled, then turned around and took Ergou to the square outside.

"Then, let's talk about Shariputra." (End of Chapter)
