Wandao long distance

One hundred and seventy years have passed.

For one hundred and seventy years, the entire city of dreams can be said to have taken on a completely new look.

This is still an industrial city. After all, there are so many people to feed, and farming cannot feed so many people. Productivity must be maximized.

However, the distribution efficiency has been greatly improved, and the magic way has almost disappeared here. Li Qi used the magic way to manage this area, and began to cultivate the great source of heaven and earth in a way that is 'suitable' for this hot sand land. , balance the natural cycle and let everything run smoothly.

The so-called 'recycling' actually means turning waste into treasure. Many times, some people's waste is actually other people's treasure. For dryads and other creatures, the septic tank is a buffet.

And what the tree demons think is meaningless, the dead skin that falls off or the products of the menstrual period are the delicacies of other creatures and even the treasures of cultivation.

Mineral creatures, such as mountain gods, sometimes have body surface secretions that are certain alloys or precious crystals, and many of the resources that humanoid creatures like may also be by-products of others.

In the final analysis, everything in this world is just 'energy'.

The ecosystem itself is a process in which various substances are obtained from the atmosphere, water, soil and other environments, and are transformed into the ecosystem through link by link, where they are reused by other organisms and finally returned to the environment. This process includes biological and non-living things.

To put it romantically, that is... we are all stardust.

The raw materials of every cell in your body are billions of years old, and the elements that make up "our" body are all made of stardust, so "we" are much older than we think. And because other people's cells or microorganisms on the body also play a role.

And these stardust are constantly circulating, constantly becoming a part of others, and then returning to ourselves. The only thing consumed in this process is 'energy', and the matter itself is immortal. When meat is eaten, it is only transformed into other people. body, rather than disappearing out of thin air.

So, does the city of dreams lack 'energy'?

There is no shortage at all, there is too much, there are countless 'artificial suns' here, providing endless energy for these people.

Then, Li Qi is also spreading Buddhism, hoping to use part of Buddhism to suppress the expanding desires and evil thoughts here.

This is difficult, because the human body is a large collection of desires, and the whole body is full of desires.

Desires always want to be satisfied, but... the satisfaction of a certain desire means the disappearance of a certain desire.

Therefore, all enjoyment is necessary, such as eating, and eating delicious food, but it only stays on the tip of the tongue for less than a second, and it is over after swallowing three inches of the throat.

Appetite and taste are like this, but what about other desires? Instant gratification means it disappears immediately.

This is how the so-called sage time comes about.

What follows is more emptiness and more new desires that need to be filled. This is the reason why "desires are hard to fill" and are endless.

There is a saying that goes: "If you are not full, you will only have one trouble; if you are full, you will have many troubles." This is what it means.

Therefore, controlling the satisfaction of desires is an important means to curb evil thoughts.

Li Qi promoted Buddhism and even went to the Buddhist Kingdom of the West to invite some monks to help spread the Dharma in order to suppress the devil.

This is the 'helper' Li Qi mentioned before.

Since we want to completely transform this place, it is better to directly introduce Buddhism and let those monks deal with the devil. They specialize in this and are full of motivation.

Now, Li Qi is discussing with Shariputra.

That's right, Li Qi went to Xitian to ask for help from a monk. Instead of looking for anyone else, he directly found Shariputra.

He went to find Shariputra about a hundred years ago.

As Li Qi expected, Shariputra agreed without any hesitation when he heard that he was going to deal with the City of Dreams. He also gave Li Qi a surprise. He brought his friend Moggallana with him.

Among the Buddhist disciples, Shariputra is famous for his wisdom and is called "the first in wisdom", while Moggallana is famous for his supernatural powers and is called "the first in supernatural powers".

At this moment, Li Qi was discussing with Shariputra and Moggallana about spreading Buddhism.

"You two, this is the recent situation. I have written a summary. The recent situation is very good, and the demonic thoughts are suppressed very well. In the past one hundred and twenty years, almost everyone has changed. I followed your suggestions. Buddha treasures have been placed at each of the 2.6 million nodes to form a formation to suppress the evil thoughts. The monks who came to help have also been placed, and they are basically evenly distributed. There are also many fewer people who have become possessed recently."

Li Qi gave Shariputra and Moggallana a summary of their recent work.

If you use spoken words, it would be too slow. Let’s summarize it directly to facilitate communication.

Shariputra is still the same as before, his hands are longer than his knees, and he looks tall and thin.

Moggallana, on the other hand, was very tall and looked like a villager. His skin was bronze and there were traces of labor on his body. He was a fisherman before he became a Buddhist disciple. These are all leftover from that time.

Both of them are of the fourth grade, have attained the fruit of Arahantship, their six sense organs of body and mind are pure, their ignorance and troubles have been eradicated, they have escaped from life and death, and have entered Nirvana.

Before that, Li Qi had never known what the Buddhist term "liberated from life and death" meant. Now that he had read it at the fourth level, he realized that the so-called "liberated from life and death and achieved Nirvana" actually means gaining reality.

At this moment, Buddhist practitioners are able to transcend the real world and feel at ease forever.

Facing the summary delivered by Li Qi, both Moggallana and Shariputra bowed respectfully to Li Qi.

"Thank you. Your Majesty is so dedicated to Buddhism and has such profound research. It is really admirable." Shariputra bowed, and then took Li Qi's summary with both hands.

"Yes, I am really grateful to you, Master, for being able to help the two of us spread Buddhism in the city of dreams. We must work harder." Moggallana was also very humble, clasped his hands and bowed his head to Li Qi.

Both Buddhist disciples have a good impression of Li Qi. This young master has the courage to attack the city of dreams, and dares to take the lead in bringing them here to carry out transformation. He is indeed astonishingly courageous and powerful. It is not that they did not want to overdo the demonic path. , but the City of Dreams is still too difficult to obtain, and the challenge is too high.

Now Li Qi didn't know how to make all the fourth-grade demon kings give up guarding this place, so that their transformation seemed so logical and everything went smoothly.

"I asked you two to help me, but you two saluted me instead. Your help is very great. I believe that in about a hundred years, the city of dreams will be completely transformed. By then... ... If the demons want to get it back, they will have to fight us in a fourth-level battle." Li Qi smiled and said: "If there are less than twenty ordinary demon kings, it will be difficult for us to be our opponents."

"Young Master, please do not take it lightly." Shariputra said: "The Demon Lord has not taken action, so he must have a back-up plan. If they haven't taken action now, they must be planning something big." "I know, and their affairs... are planned. Most likely it will be my daughter, I am fully prepared and there will be no mistakes," Li Qi said.

"Although this conversation seems to have happened...but I'm still a little worried." At this time, Moggallana said proactively.

"The last time we met, I had already mentioned this matter to the young master, but the young master also said that he was prepared, but after all, preparation is preparation. If the devil has any unexpected means, let the young master use his own My daughter is really too dangerous as a bet, so over the past few decades, I have been developing magical powers to observe this dream city with my clairvoyance."

"Having been brewing for decades? That's really... a waste of time for Buddhist disciples." Li Qi glanced at Moggallana and was a little surprised. He didn't know about this move. These Buddhist disciples really have a profound background.

Unlike Shariputra, who was indifferent, Moggallana had a fiery and straightforward personality, so he was quite proactive about these things. For example, this time, he actually planned it for decades to show off his magical powers.

When Li Qi saw this, he didn't refuse. He was indeed worried. The reason why he said he was "completely prepared" was that besides the fact that he had actually made preparations, it was also part of calming people's minds.

Moggallana laughed: "Then let me see what clues there are under this dream city."

As he spoke, Moggallana did not hesitate and walked out directly, leaning on his right shoulder, kneeling on the ground, clasping his palms towards the Buddha, and using his magical power.

Clear ears and eyesight

Moggallana is famous among the Buddhist disciples for being the first in supernatural powers. Now he personally uses the divine eye, one of the six magical powers of Buddhism, and combines the divine ears. The two are combined, and his strength is enriched, his power is increased, he is vigorous and brave, and his supernatural powers are doubled. Win!

The Buddha's energy goes straight to the Trayast Trio Heaven, and with the power of supernatural power, it goes up and down from the Trayast Trio Heaven!

When it descends, it turns into three treasure steps, among which a series of phantoms ascend the seven treasure steps in the middle.

Moggallana recited loudly: "Such feelings, thoughts, formations, and consciousness are impermanent, and impermanence is suffering. Suffering is not me, and what is not me is not mine. Such a watcher is called true contemplation. Such a watcher, in the matter of form, Liberation, liberation from feelings, thoughts, formations, and consciousness!”

Between the words, I saw his clairvoyance and saw through the illusion in an instant!

Liberated from form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness, the five aggregates are all empty. His eyes and ears suddenly flooded with the past, present, and future of the dream city!

Li Qi was amazed next to him.

Moggallana... is indeed the number one in supernatural power. With this hand, even the five aggregates of demons cannot be covered up. All demonic thoughts have no escape, and all sentient beings and everything are reflected in his eyes!

The Arhat sees with the heavenly eye and senses the power of heaven and earth. Everyone has his or her own mind, and each mind has its own vision. The heavenly eye is penetrating, and it can be seen without any limit. In the eyes, it can see the pure colors of the four great creations of the form realm.

The eyes of heaven see all sentient beings and objects in the six realms of the earth and below, whether they are close or distant, whether they are thick or thin, and all the colors cannot be illuminated.

Li Qi definitely couldn't do this kind of magical power.

You know, this is the world.

In the world, all magical powers and techniques will be suppressed, and the same is naturally true for Moggallana. Moreover, the nature of the world is very high. You may be able to easily penetrate the world and swim in the stars outside the world, but in the earth of the world, you can escape from the earth. , maybe after running away for thousands of miles, I have to take a breather.

Earth escape is like this, and detection spells are even more so. Li Qi's Zhenzhiyun will be suppressed in the world. Different from the "light-year" unit of exploration outside the territory, it is a bit difficult for Zhenzhi to scan a hundred thousand miles here. .

But Moggallana broke through this limitation...

No, it’s not that it broke through this restriction, but that the tyrannical supernatural power withstood the suppression and penetrated the entire southernmost part of the world!

The dream city of Demon Dao is one of the nine lands in the world. Although Demon Dao doesn't care much, as long as the land is not lost, everything else doesn't matter, but it is still in the world and occupies nearly one-ninth of the world's territory.

After decades of preparation, Moggallana gathered his strength and used his great supernatural powers to see through all of these nine-tenths!

Together with the 30,000 miles underground, everything is nowhere to be seen.

The clairvoyance and celestial ears scan through it like a radar, and everyone's face, everyone's causal line, from a speck of dust to the structure of the entire continental shelf, everything is known.

All this lasted only a few dozen seconds before Moggallana's eyes began to bleed, a large amount of golden blood spilled from the cracked eye sockets, and his ears began to twitch.

But he persisted for about one hundred and fifty seconds, and finally withdrew his magical power, breathed a long sigh of relief, then closed his eyes and ears.

Li Qi was also unambiguous and immediately took out a few valuable pills and handed them to Moggallana.

If someone took the initiative to do this, he couldn't be allowed to take all his medicine.

Moggallana picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp. He waited for a while, about an hour.

Fortunately, for the fourth grade, an hour is not very long, and they are still very patient.

An hour later, Moggallana opened his eyes again and said, "There is indeed a problem. The demonic energy suppressed by the comrades we brought has actually become one under the ground."

"Underground? Below thirty thousand miles?" Li Qi asked.

"No, in the city of dreams, we must act immediately. There are four nodes here, corresponding to the demon of heaven, the demon of death, the demon of five aggregates, and the demon of troubles. The four pulsations are connected into one. Our action of 'eliminating the demonic thoughts' will instead It has become a point for them to take advantage of!" Moggallana said.

Shariputra nodded slightly: "In that case, let's set out to stop them."

"Is there no fraud?" Li Qi asked.

"There must be fraud, but... we are the fourth grade, and we still have the ability to withstand risks in the world. Do you want to try it?"

Li Qi, Jingwu Zhen, Shariputra, and Moggallana are exactly four fourth grades, corresponding to four.

"I am the most skilled in the purification method, and my mind is the purest among us. Just leave the nodes of the demons to me," Shariputra said.

"I have been exposed to the blood of the Five Yun Demons before, and I am most familiar with the Five Yun Demons." Li Qize said, and sent a message to Jing Wuzhen to explain the situation.

By this time, Jing Wuzhen had already arrived.

"I am the most lethal, so leave the death demon to me." Jing Wuzhen said.

"Then, I have the strongest magical power and am not afraid of any of the four. Those of the troubled demon lineage will be left to me." Moggallana nodded. (End of chapter)
