Chapter 296 Three-in-One
What did Li Qi think of?
Of course, it was a way to solve the collapse of his current body.
He did have some ideas, but... he didn't know if it was a temporary solution or something else.
The only avenue he was most familiar with but had not introduced was the Taoist Hidden School.
Li Qi was very familiar with many things of the Taoist Hidden School, which he had learned from Shen Shuibi. Even his techniques had many traces of the Taoist Hidden School.
For example, the Five Sacrifices Spirit. Li Qi had used this trick to deal with many ghosts and demons, but the orthodox Five Sacrifices Spirit did not have the Five Elements. The Five Gods Responding to the Five Elements was added by Li Qi after observing Shen Shuibi's Five Elements Technique.
Li Qi began to apply it experimentally.
The Backtracking Talisman bought him at least fifteen minutes. Although it was not enough, it was enough for him to take a risk.
How does the Taoist avenue integrate humans and witches?
The hermit school proposed: "The one who runs through all things is the Tao, and the one who runs through heaven and earth is virtue."
The combination of the two is "morality", which does not refer to the morality of moral cultivation, but to the power that can run through all things and make all things give in.
This is also the title of the Taoist master who proposed the fundamental thought of the Taoist hermit school. His title is "morality".
In his mouth, without desire, the world is satisfied, without action, all things are transformed, deep and quiet, all living beings are settled, without heart, ghosts and gods are submissive.
There is nothing special about wanting to make the world better. As long as everyone can achieve "no desire and no action", as long as everyone's spiritual realm reaches this point, then the world will naturally become better.
There is no need to think about any system, any law and ritual like human Taoism, nor is there any need to plan any "position" for heaven and earth like witch Taoism, and then spend effort to maintain these things.
Doing so will cause chaos in the world and disputes about Taoism will arise everywhere.
As long as all living beings focus on improving their self-cultivation and abilities, everyone can live the life they want. Even if there are disputes, they will only be disputes between individuals, and will not set off the kind of Dao disputes that sweep across the heavens.
Just like Shen Shuibi, she is a typical Taoist hermit monk.
Since she was born, she has been squatting at home, not competing with the world, and only studying things according to her own preferences in her mind. Even the process of improving herself is to satisfy her own preferences.
If there is no external interference, she should have been immersed in the process of improving her academic level and perfecting her moral cultivation, without any conflicts with the outside world, and she can also get the peace and joy of her heart, without any distress and sorrow.
If all things in the world are like the Taoist hermit like Shen Shuibi, then the world can achieve "great governance", which can be called "all things are done when one is connected".
As long as this one thing is done, then everything is done.
This is the guiding ideology of the Taoist hermit in the general direction.
This moral celestial master believes that there is no specific heavenly way or great way to speak of, and there is no ultimate law that governs everything, and it is meaningless to discuss this.
That is the famous saying: ‘The Tao, which can be described, is not the real Tao; the name, which can be named, is not the real name.’
The Tao that can be specifically described and planned is not the real Tao and cannot control everything. If it can be described as controlling everything, it has been proved that it is not the so-called ultimate law.
The real Tao is incredible and beyond logic. It is wrong to think about it and even more wrong to say it.
So there is no need to explore this kind of nothingness, nor is there any need to interpret it. It is meaningless and futile.
We only need to focus on the actual existence of all things in the world, because all things in the world must be the side manifestation of the ultimate Tao.
“Tao”, or “law”, “reality”, or something else, is just a name given to that thing by all living beings. It cannot be described, and all descriptions of it are wrong.
“It” can unify all levels, micro and macro, the world and the outside world, time and space, reality and illusion.
Everything revolves around “it” respectfully, and everything is built around “it”. The whole world exists because of it. There is no theoretical conflict. The existence of “it” is the cornerstone of all rationality.
All natural phenomena are its presentation in different fields.
All principles and formulas are a little bit of description of "it".
All paths and techniques are just different aspects of this "reality".
All worlds are its presentation from different angles.
Just like an irregular geometric body, it looks different from different directions, but in fact it has never changed.
It's not that the shapes are really different, but that all these shapes exist on it at the same time.
But this kind of thing does not actually exist, because it is impossible for this kind of thing to exist. This is just a false reference.
Because everything in the world is this law itself.
Everything in the world is not based on the ultimate law, but everything in the world itself is this ultimate law.
"Nameless is the beginning of all things, and nothing can enter the void." Li Qi murmured the words in the Taoist classics.
"There is a thing, Kuncheng, born before heaven and earth. Xihe Muhe, independent and not hai, can be the mother of heaven and earth."
He understood.
Not only did he understand, he was also ready to do it.
How to use the Taoist thought to unify humanity and witchcraft?
It is very simple, the thought of inaction, coupled with the guiding concept of the nameless mother of all things, is used to guide the Qi in the body.
If the human way is to 'regulate' the qi in the body, and the shaman way is to 'arrange' the qi in the body, then the sect can only be called "guiding".
The key point of Li Qi's dispute between humans and witches is that the two sides have different interpretations of the way of heaven, which directly leads to the emergence of rifts.
However, in the explanation of Taoism, there is no need to focus on what Tao is, just focus on everything in the world.
"Both the tangible and the intangible exist without form. Their movement means cessation; their death means birth; their destruction means rising. This is not the reason for it. Movement and stillness, death and life, rise and fall, are not the place of the Tao. ”
"The Tao has no name, only traces of its transformation can be heard in human ears."
Li Qi muttered to himself about his understanding.
The meaning is very simple:
No one can tell what the ultimate avenue is, but none of the existences we know are him.
It is better to put it aside and concentrate on summarizing everything in the world.
Li Qi introduced Taoist ideas into his own Taoism to put aside the disputes between humans and witches.
He divided the Qi in his body into three categories.
The upper Qi is called witch, the middle Qi is called Dao, and the lower Qi is called human.
Shangqi is the weather, and the magic connects the heaven and the earth, and the heart of heaven does not change. This is the theory of "position".
The lower qi is the qi of the people, people kill all living beings, keep their minds straight, get rid of selfishness, clear the system, use reward and punishment as the two handles of the system, and the rules run through it.
The middle Qi is nameless, and disputes are put aside in the middle. Although people and witches each have their own image, they are relatively opposite. Just like a pair of opponents who are opposite in strength and softness, coldness and warmth, life and death, they must be opposites and become enemies.
But the bottom line is that they complement each other and never become enemies.
Heavenly principles and human desires are not antagonistic.
Heavenly principles and human desires are "the same body but with different functions" and "go together with different emotions." Tao cannot be independent of things and have its own way, nor can things have their own way without Tao.
The Tao has things, just like the wind has movement and water has flow, and they are interdependent.
Seeking Tao away from things is like seeking the movement of wind when there is no wind, or seeking the flow of water when there is no water. It is absurd and absurd.
It is even more nonsense to seek things apart from Tao. Things are the concrete embodiment of Tao, so how can they be separated?
From this, Tai Zhen cuts, connects two and becomes one, separates them and becomes two, each has its own specialization, which is called Yin and Yang. The middle Qi is harmonized in Yin and Yang, which is the power of Tai Chi.
Countless calculations, an incredible amount of data, hundreds of millions of qi began to be arranged according to different paths in Li Qi's body, and following different paths, different things were completed.
Deducing, calculating, and putting it into practice, what should be done when you are angry, and why you should do such a thing, everything needs to be carefully considered.
Fortunately, Li Qiping accumulated information from time to time and was used to processing a large amount of information brought by Zhenzhi Yun. This unimaginable workload was completed by him in ten minutes!
In this way, the small human world that collapsed in Li Qi's body began to gradually heal. It was not that humans and witches no longer conflicted, but that the conflicts were neutralized by the Taoism in the middle.
He took the risk to introduce Taoist ideas and succeeded.
However, Li Qi himself couldn't tell whether it was drinking poison to quench his thirst or what.
As of now, he already has three paths in his body.
Under the influence of the devil, the dispute between humans and witches almost cost him his life.
The Taoist Hidden World Sect does not fight and has no desires, so it can reconcile in the middle, but who knows what it will become in the future?
But now, it can be said that it has saved a life, and at the same time it has allowed Li Qi to improve the theoretical basis of what he has done in the Holy Flame Realm, and guide his future behavior.
However, there is another saying of the Hidden World School, which is: "The Tao does not want to be complicated. If there is too much complexity, it will cause confusion. If there is too much confusion, it will cause worry. If you worry, you will not be saved."
It is not advisable to mix things up in the pursuit of the Tao. Once it becomes complicated, it will cause a lot of troubles. Too many troubles will cause troubles, and too many troubles will be difficult to cure.
Li Qi is already too complicated, but he can't help it. I wonder what his path will be in the future.
But no matter what happens in the future, the demon's third move has also failed.
Tai Xuecheng's face turned completely gloomy.
He was even a little frightened.
This young master from Wushen Mountain actually won three moves against the sixth-grade martial artist.
Even if part of it is because he can't do his best and can only use the demonic energy, but with the huge gap between the sixth and eighth grades, he can actually lose?
"You can't win with only eighth grade..." Tai Xuecheng said in a gloomy voice.
No matter what, you are still eighth grade.
Since the Heavenly Demon cannot break through your Taoist heart, even the struggle between man, witch, and Dao has been resolved, but after all, the demonic energy of the sixth-grade Heavenly Demon has far more than that.
The demonic energy was brewing and seemed to be forming a spell, but Li Qi couldn't understand it at all and couldn't interfere with it.
That layer of eggshell-like chaotic light destroyed nine out of ten of Tai Xuecheng's strength, and also made it impossible for Li Qi to interfere with the outside world.
But Li Qi didn't reply. He also knew that his chance of winning was slim, but no matter how slim it was, he had to grab that glimmer of hope.
The Talisman of Retrospection has been used, and if he dies next, he will be truly dead.
What should we do now?
All his wisdom and mental energy were almost used up when he had just bridged the internal Taoist struggle. Now his head was throbbing, his heart was exhausted, and he was feeling dizzy.
But he still forced himself to cheer up and continue to take the attack.
However, at this moment, the Sansheng Ancient Mirror was trembling, and half of the mirror surface was broken.
Sansheng Ancient Mirror has tried its best, and Li Qi is finally coming to the place where the second ray of true knowing rhyme is.
Li Qi knew that if he continued to fight with the Imperial Academy, he would definitely lose. The opponent was a sixth-grade one, and even if he could only exert half of his strength, he had no chance of winning. He could win two or three moves by luck and impatience, but he could not win all the time.
He had to find variables, because there was life only with variables.
In this, the only variable could only come from the Three Lives Ancient Mirror, because there were no variables anywhere else.
And among the variables that the Three Lives Ancient Mirror could bring, the biggest one was undoubtedly the second ray of true knowledge.
So before, Li Qi did not hesitate to throw the last ray of the Great Blessing Spirit into it to speed up, just for this variable.
While the Imperial Academy outside was brewing magic, Li Qi also quickly took out his other savings to add bricks and tiles to the Three Lives Ancient Mirror, turning "almost there" into "already there".
After this round of tossing, he took out his most valuable item.
Two heads of former third-grade officials.
It is said to be a third-grade official, but in fact it is only a third-grade official position. Its own cultivation is fifth-grade, but it is also contaminated with some third-grade aura, which should also play the role of fuel acceleration.
But when Li Qi took out this thing and was about to throw it in, he saw the Taixue Cheng outside staggered, and part of the magic structure in his hand collapsed.
Obviously, he was so shocked that he couldn't calm down to construct a magic to give Li Qi a fatal blow.
The Taixue Cheng roared in anger: "Thief! How dare you!"
What Li Qi held in his hand was the head of Shangshu Cheng, a minister who had done a great favor to their line, and this time it was also to avenge him that he planned this assassination.
And now, his head was being held by Li Qi, ready to be thrown into the Sansheng Ancient Mirror to burn!
Bastard!
However, Li Qi rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Thief, how dare you?
Do you think I dare?
Without hesitation, he threw the two heads in. The Three Lives Ancient Mirror burst out again. As the mirror surface cracked, the speed of tracing back suddenly increased.
At the same time, Li Qi finally drove the Three Lives Ancient Mirror to the location of the second ray of true rhyme.
Although it was unknown how long it would take to get to Earth, the second ray of true rhyme had already arrived.
Li Qi only felt that he was traced back to that place, but his body was not there, but this did not prevent the two rhymes from merging.
Almost at the same time, the attack of the demon arrived.
Endless malice came in his face! The rolling black fog enveloped Li Qi!
All troubles, death and disasters were entangled and descended, blood broke through, and the demonic energy suppressed the earth.
There were many decadent sounds of sheng, flute, zither, flute, piano, harp, pipa, cloud gong, and castanets in Li Qi's ears, as if there was an endless demon dance, and the sound of the demon disturbed people's hearts!
However, the 100-foot Buddhist kingdom suddenly opened up again around Li Qi!
With the support of the universe rhyme, Li Qi's Buddhist demon-subduing spell took shape again.
Previously, this thing was easily crushed by the demonic energy.
But now, it actually blocked the arrival of the demon!
