Chapter 295: Backtracking Talisman
Li Qi's cultivation was shaken, and his body began to tear apart.
The demons have many methods.
To deal with greedy people, they arouse their greed.
To deal with irritable people, they arouse their anger.
To deal with pure and kind people, they deceive with lies.
To deal with cunning and scheming people, they use sincerity to influence.
They can always find the weaknesses in people's hearts, and then make targeted adjustments. This is almost a thing deeply rooted in the instincts of all demons.
To deal with a pursuer like Li Qi, the best way is to refute his path and make him doubt the path he is pursuing. Then Li Qi's cultivation and Tao heart will naturally crack.
Even if this wisp of demonic energy of the demon is not conscious now, with enough energy and knowledge provided by another sixth-grade, it seems that it can easily point out the flaws in Li Qi's Tao heart.
Because it is not the demon who is speaking, the demon does not speak.
Li Qi knew that he was essentially talking to himself. The demon didn't understand the human way or witchcraft. The demon just forced him to face the cracks in his Dao heart and then expand them more and more.
The many 'Li Qi's' that appeared in front of him were essentially his Dao heart flaws, and they were just the reflections of the demon.
The demon was like a mirror, reflecting all the flaws in Li Qi's Dao practice, and then targeting them.
Wait, a mirror!
Li Qi was shocked. He no longer tried to stabilize his cultivation, but turned his head to look behind him.
Behind him, the Three Lives Ancient Mirror emitted a faint light.
After such a long time of looking back, Li Qi's 'present life' finally emerged.
The Three Lives Ancient Mirror easily marked all the flaws of Li Qi, not only in his Dao heart, but also in his magic and body.
Four inches below his left armpit, there was a slight blockage in the blood, and a slight loophole would be revealed when he moved.
There were small scars on the kneecap of his left leg left by pulling the rope, which Li Qi had not even noticed before.
The first knuckle of the middle finger on his right hand was slightly crooked. It was caused by a blow when he was carrying goods for others. He thought he had recovered, but he didn't expect the bone to be crooked. It seems that if the force is more than 200,000 pounds, the force will deviate by one millimeter.
In addition, there are many small scars. Li Qi always thought he was very healthy, but when he was reflected by the Three Lives Ancient Mirror, it seemed that there were flaws all over his body.
The same is true for magic.
He originally thought that the Buddhist magic he used to resist the demon was perfect, but when he reflected it by the Three Lives Ancient Mirror, he saw that there were obstacles everywhere in the subtle operation. Nearly more than 10% of the energy was consumed in the internal running-in, and there were a lot of redundant mechanisms wasting capacity and limiting the output, which could be completely streamlined.
But if you look closely at the magic taught to him by Wushen Mountain, although he still used it very roughly, there were also many obstacles in actual application because of his control ability, but it was flawless, without the slightest redundancy, and the structure of each magic was so precise, one more point of redundancy, one less point is not enough.
Li Qi understood it immediately.
The magic I created and the magic that Wushen Mountain taught to his disciples... are completely different in level. It's ridiculous that I was so complacent before.
As for the flaws in my heart of Tao, there are fewer of them.
That demon actually knew how to use the flaws reflected by the Three Lives Ancient Mirror!
No, not using...
This demon is cooperating with the Three Lives Ancient Mirror!
It's as if the demon itself is meant to fit the Three Lives Ancient Mirror!
The weaknesses reflected will naturally be known to the demon!
Li Qi didn't know what to say...
Should I say it's worthy of it?
After all, the demon is from Buddhism, and so is the Three Lives Ancient Mirror. It's only natural that the two are related.
Is this also the plan of the Imperial Academy?
This assassination against me is really a big deal.
However, Li Qi also came to his senses.
The other party probably wanted me to die at the hands of the demon, so he didn't launch a violent attack.
Because I died at the hands of the demon, and the Imperial Academy died at the hands of the chaotic cosmic light, it was an accident, and there was no evidence.
But if he died violently, even if the Imperial Academy Minister died immediately, he would definitely find out that there was something fishy behind it, which would inevitably involve many people, so he couldn't let himself die in a violent attack no matter what.
In this case, Li Qi calmed down again and faced the demon in front of him.
And opposite him, outside the chaotic cosmic light, the Imperial Academy Minister was concentrating on assisting the demonic energy of the demon.
He felt that Li Qi seemed to have given up resistance and allowed the cultivation in his body to continue to be chaotic.
This young master of Wushen Mountain could not solve the conflict of Taoism in his body, and the demon took effect.
He continued to put pressure on Li Qi, and after a while, the other party would naturally explode and die, or fall into the devil's way to survive, and use the devil's way to control the two Taoism in his body.
The demon continued to preach.
What he said were things that Li Qi could not refute, but could not admit.
As long as these things continued to play a role and continued to echo in his mind, the rift between the human way and the witch way in Li Qi's human world would become larger and larger, until he was torn apart.
As a sixth-rank official, the Imperial Academy Chancellor could not solve the problem by himself, let alone intervene. The dispute between humans and sorcerers has been going on for a long time. Just a random young man wants to bridge the two sides?
It's ridiculous. He overestimates his own abilities and leaves such a huge flaw. He is simply giving food to the demons.
On the other side, Li Qi fell into deep thought.
He looked back at the Three Lives Ancient Mirror. Although it helped the demon to easily find the flaw in his Dao Heart, the Three Lives Ancient Mirror had no intelligence and naturally no inclination. It would show weakness to the demon and Li Qi.
He didn't care about his cultivation gradually becoming violent, because he knew that if he couldn't find a solution, temporary suppression was not a solution, and he would die in the end. It would be better to put all his energy into thinking about solutions.
The conflict between the witch and the human way is completely different in many places, from the details of the rules to the values, and even the cognition of the world, and even the development of the skills of the magic. The two sides do not even follow the same set of physical laws, because the rules of different worlds will be subtly different, and the transformation of the world between the two great schools is also different.
The only thing that both sides abide by is the only "Dao", which is the only thing in common among all the heavens and worlds, and it truly runs through countless worlds.
However, whether this Dao exists is a mystery, or... it only exists in the imagination of each Dao school. Each Dao is interpreting the "Dao" in its own way to explain the root of the existence of this universe, and they all think they are right.
If this unique "Great Way" does not exist, it is impossible to explain why everything in the universe exists, so all Taoists assume that it exists.
Just like when we were on Earth, we assumed the laws of mathematics. Regardless of whether these laws exist or not, we assume that they must exist, and then all scientific theories are extended from these "assumptions" and then correspond to reality.
This is also the "Tao" of the Earth. Scientific thinking is itself a kind of Tao.
"Then... I also assume a great way that can unify people and witches." Li Qi muttered in his heart and began to save himself.
It is useless to just assume, and it needs to be filled in.
Why can this great way unify people and witches? What is the nature of this great way?
These not only need to be assumed, but also practiced, and use actual situations to verify your assumptions.
However, there is no time for Li Qi to practice slowly now.
Li Qi believes that it is impossible for him to assume and verify now. If he really does that, he would have died long ago.
Then, we should accept the "Great Way" assumed by other Taos, because what other Taos assume must have been verified by a lot of evidence.
But it cannot be the way of humanity and witchcraft, it must come from a third party that can mediate between them.
This means that Li Qi must have a good understanding of it before he can adopt and apply it to himself. Otherwise, if he uses it with only a half-understanding, let alone the Dao struggle at the moment, even an intact body may explode due to random messing.
Practitioners can control the great power in their bodies, all relying on the "Dao" to control. If the Dao is messed up, these qi will be out of control.
As for the exercises, it is just an auxiliary role and belongs to the category of skills.
Skills are the last use of Dao. Dao is the core guiding ideology, and skills are the actual application methods.
If the Pythagorean theorem is Dao, then making a rangefinder is a skill.
The small world of the human body must also follow the guidance of Dao to operate. Introducing other Dao paths to guide the body randomly is like changing the position of the heart at will, which will cause a big mess.
Li Qi used to manage the world through witchcraft and the flow of qi through humanism, and they were classified into different categories to achieve the coexistence of the two paths, and used this to dissolve the Baiyue Dao in his body and successfully refine Guangyang.
But now, this superficial coexistence has been broken by the demon.
Li Qi, who was transformed by the demon, had previously preached about the differences between the human and witch in understanding the way of heaven, and proposed that "the law of heaven is the law of man", making it difficult for Li Qi to govern heaven with witchcraft, otherwise the two would conflict violently.
"Mediate... How to mediate?" Li Qi thought anxiously.
After several minutes, the Three Lives Ancient Mirror began to emit a painful humming sound, as if it was about to collapse, and the power outage outside had reached 504 miles.
And Li Qi's body was already overwhelmed. You can see that his blood vessels were bulging, his muscles were cramping, his qi and blood were rolling, and his five qi in his body were in a mess.
At this time, there were already six Li Qi preaching in front of him, each of them was different, and they were talking confidently, and the sound of preaching continued to come.
The Imperial Academy Minister outside was methodical, supporting the demon little by little to gradually collapse Li Qi's human world.
He was not impatient.
It was just a death anyway, and he had no way to survive after the situation became like this.
Then the only way was to let the son of Wushen Mountain be buried here to repay his teacher's kindness.
However, Li Qi did not seem to be in a hurry at all.
He was very familiar with the avenue that had been verified a lot... the avenue that could be applied here.
Indeed, there was one.
Li Qi calmed down. Prepare to give it a try.
Now it was a matter of life and death, so it was impossible to stop.
Li Qi directly drew out the last of the Great Blessing Spirit and put it into the Three Lives Ancient Mirror as energy!
He wanted to speed up the Three Lives Ancient Mirror!
Speed up to the part of the second wisp of the True Knowing Rhyme, get the second wisp of the True Knowing Rhyme, and then start Li Qi's self-rescue plan.
The energy of the Great Blessing Spirit was extremely refined, far higher than the quality of the dragon vein tributaries, just like putting a nitrogen tank into a car engine, instantly turning on the nitrogen acceleration!
It started to speed up like crazy, the Three Lives Ancient Mirror accelerated its retracing, the mirror surface even began to shake, and even cracked!
During this time, Li Qi sat down cross-legged, thinking and waiting quietly, and suppressing his chaotic body.
However, suppression has its limits.
About a minute later, Li Qi's body began to tear apart.
The Tao struggle reached its limit, and he could no longer suppress it.
The human body's small world collapsed, the demon devoured his body, and the cracked Tao heart could no longer control his cultivation!
His body made a violent sound, and a large amount of Qi no longer controlled by Tao scattered out!
Even the gods in his body began to crack, and the gods in their bodies were in chaos, attacking each other, and all turned into ashes.
The demon made a piercing whistle, and the "Li Qi" who was constantly preaching around him all dissipated into demonic energy with a bang, and then turned into chains, continuing to accelerate the tearing of Li Qi.
The Taixue Cheng who was constantly supporting the demon outside finally felt at ease.
At this point, Li Qi was dead.
And he died of a cracked Tao heart and a demon devouring his body, which had nothing to do with him. The only way to trace it back to the demon was to let Wushenshan go to him and talk to the demon.
Next, as long as the Imperial Academy Minister also died, everything would be dead without evidence, and it was completely an accident.
"In this case, Li Cike, I bid farewell to my teacher here, and I have avenged part of the Shangshu Minister, but I can't help with the grudge between the academy and the Great Zhu." The Imperial Academy Minister knelt down in the direction of Nanshan Academy, kowtowed, and chanted.
The third-rank official who was killed by Zhu Fengdan had a great favor to the Imperial Academy Minister's branch.
Then, he rushed into the chaotic cosmic light, wanting the chaotic cosmic light to tear him apart, so that all traces could be completely erased.
But just before that, the Imperial Academy Minister suddenly braked.
Because he saw that Li Qi, who had exploded, suddenly began to change strangely around him.
It was as if time was going backwards.
The shattered human body and small world naturally recovered, and everything seemed to be going back. Li Qi's collapsed human body and small world quickly returned to a quarter of an hour ago, and his body, which was already on the verge of death, actually recovered to its previous state.
This is the life-saving method given to Li Qi by the Great Witch, the Backtracking Talisman!
"Damn it! Delaying time!" The Imperial Academy Minister was furious and gnashed his teeth!
He saw Li Qi's plan at a glance. Li Qi wanted to use this thing to delay time!
This thing couldn't save Li Qi. The Backtracking Talisman couldn't save Li Qi's broken Dao heart.
Now Li Qi could only recover his body, and then continue to collapse because he couldn't control the cultivation in his body.
But collapse takes time!
This Master of Wushen Mountain must want to use this time to do something. What method did he think of? !
The Imperial Academy Minister was anxious. He was afraid that Li Qi had a backup plan!
