Chapter 453 Abstract Characteristics (Yang)
As the two sides talked, they finally arrived at the ‘learning place’.
In this conversation, Li Qi learned more about the truth, and even hinted at some information about the cardinals of the worlds.
However, Li Qi also knew that all of this was an exchange.
The other party seemed to be very generous in telling him these things, but this was an investment.
Investment, in the final analysis, wants to have a return.
And the return is also very simple, that is, Li Qi’s knowledge, this is an exchange.
As a person who upholds ‘righteousness’, Li Qi certainly will not play tricks, and will pay as much as he gets, so he will not hide anything when he learns the Dao reader.
Of course, many things related to life and property are impossible to say, but you can pay more in other knowledge to make up for it.
Arrived at this learning place.
Li Qi can see that the base of this learning place... is actually on the ship.
It is a very large treasure ship, but it is carved with red carvings, green cover and red robe, and it is as majestic as a bull. It looks like a mountain. There is a gallery on it, which can carry six or seven thousand people and tens of thousands of things.
There is a stone drum on the bow, with a big word "alert" engraved on it.
Li Qi has heard of this kind of drum.
"Linhai Ji" says: "When the stone drum sounds, there will be bandits and chaos. If this drum is repeatedly sounded, there will be thieves. There are many mountain spirits and water ghosts, so you can't climb up lightly. Min Wang Zhi offered sacrifices to the mountain god and asked for the drum, and then he got it. He caught and beat the drum, and the whole village heard it, like the sound of gold and jade. He fell ill and died when he came down the mountain. It seems that climbing the mountain invites disaster, and beating the drum is suicide.
This is a warning drum, which uses the strange method of witches. This thing relies on consulting the opinions of mountain and water gods or spirits in various places. If there is danger, an invisible spirit will beat this drum to warn people.
Of course, if you beat this drum casually for no reason, it will also make a scene to the mountain and water gods, and you may be retaliated.
This is not an ordinary quarrel, because the stone drum has a subtle connection with the mountain and water gods. If you beat it casually, they will be seriously shocked and will naturally retaliate.
In addition, the ship is also shrouded in a layer of precious light.
Li Qi recognized the hull, which was made of the trunk of the Fusang tree.
The Fusang tree has leaves like tung trees, and is edible when it first grows. Its fruit is like a pear but red. Its skin can be made into cloth, clothes, and brocade. It bears fruit once every nine thousand years. When you eat it, your body will turn into golden light, and your heart will soar.
Moreover, this thing has an ancestor, which is the Fusang sacred tree where the sun rests.
The ship in front of him is definitely not made of the branches of the Fusang sacred tree, but it should be made of Fusang wood of a high grade. The whole thing exudes a strong yang energy, which is enough to suppress the evil in the water.
Moreover, there are tall buildings on the bridge of the ship, with eight corners and eight sides, each hanging eight treasures, and Li Qi recognizes them all.
One is called the "Xuanhuang Fu", which is shaped like a hu, more than eight inches long and three inches wide, round on the top and square on the bottom, and has a hole near the circle. It is yellow jade, the color is better than steamed chestnuts, and the pool is like condensed fat. It can ward off war, epidemics, and evil plagues in the world.
The second is called the "Jade Chicken", with complete fur patterns, and white jade. If you govern the world with filial piety, it will appear.
The third one is called "Gu Bi", which is white jade. It is five or six inches in diameter. The grains on it grow naturally, just like carvings. If you use it for sacrifice, the five grains will be abundant.
The fourth one is called "Yao Yu Huan". It is also white jade. It is six inches in diameter. Its jade color is twice as good as flesh, and its luster is more and more unique. Holding it can make a tiger body majestic, and others will feel attached to it when they see it.
The fifth one is called "Ruyi Pearl", which is the Ruyi Pearl in the "big pearl" mentioned earlier. It is round in shape, as big as a chicken egg, and its luster is clear. Put it in the hall, it is as bright as a full moon.
The sixth one is called "Hong Mohe", which is as big as a giant chestnut and as red as a red cherry. It can be broken at the touch of a hand, but it is hard and unbreakable when touched, and thousands of gold cannot hurt it at all.
The seventh is called the 'precious jade seal', which is as big as half a hand, and its pattern is like a seal of a deer trap. If it touches an object, its shape will be revealed, which can break illusions.
The eighth is called the 'thunder god stone', two pieces, axe-shaped, four inches long, about an inch wide, without holes, smooth as green jade, can suppress demons and evil, like thunder god hammering and pushing a sledgehammer.
These eight treasures are hung in all directions. From Li Qi's perspective of observing the qi, he saw that the whole ship was filled with white qi and the candles were shining like the moon. The method of warding off evil was so profound that even Li Qi didn't know it.
"It's worthy of being a fifth-grade treasure ship... Is your society on it?" Li Qi looked at Wang Dun.
"Well, we all live here now. After all, this Dongyu was built by us. Now we are temporarily responsible for the construction, maintenance and upkeep of this Dongyu. Someone will come to take over the shift later. We will change shifts every two hundred years. It's actually okay." Wang Dun replied with a smile, and then took Li Qi on board.
The fifth-grade treasure ship has countless treasures on it. These guys in Li Dao have too many things to do. It is said that poor students have more stationery, but the stationery of this group of good students is simply...
Is this the prop flow?
Sure enough, the weapons of the manufacturing profession are so many that they can be sold, which means that they must have hidden better ones. As a prop flow known to the whole world, Li Dao’s level is really not to be underestimated.
With just such a treasure ship, Li Qi knew that the magic weapons of the human way may be many, but they are definitely not as good as the rational way in terms of quality and creativity. The rational way has collected all the many techniques of many Taoist traditions through analysis and copying, and can be used at any time.
With just such a ship, Li Qi has seen the shadows of many Taoist paths. Of course, what he is most familiar with is the witch's method of exorcism just mentioned, but even this thing, he can't see the details.
Then the others are even more incomprehensible.
Li Qi has been on the road for so long, and he rarely encounters things that he can't understand at all. The treasure ship in front of him has expanded a large amount of unseen inventory.
However, this also made him have other questions.
"By the way, I heard that the limit of the magic weapon assembly line is the sixth grade, that is, the magic weapons of the sixth grade are mass-produced. If Li Dao cultivates to the fifth grade or above, can it still maintain such a comprehensive and flawless state?" Li Qi suddenly realized this and looked at Wang Dun.
But Wang Dun did not answer directly, but smiled and said: "For example, in this East China Sea, Li Dao sells seventh-grade ships, and the price is very fair. Basically, you only need a world of the corresponding grade."
"But ships above the fifth grade are not for sale. Only we have them."
Li Qi understood.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the society.
There were many people in the society. Li Qi looked around and saw that there were more than a dozen people. Wang Dun greeted them one by one, and then said in a strange way: "Hey, where is Master Jingmo? Left?"
Li Qi also observed these people. They should all be from Li Dao, but...to Li Qi's surprise, not all of them had transformed their bodies with magic weapons. There were still many ordinary flesh bodies.
It seems that the Li Dao is not all that kind of transformation school, and there must be many divisions within them.
At this time, one of them nodded, and then looked at Li Qi curiously: "The master said that there are some things to deal with, so he left first. Who is this person behind you?"
"Haha, this is brother Li Qi. He came here today to explain the Dao Reader to us! After looking for him for several days, he finally invited him here!" Wang Dun patted his chest and said.
As soon as he said this, many people around him stood up immediately, their eyes shining!
This is the person who understands the Dao Reader? !
Li Qi was like a roast chicken, coming to a group of hungry ghosts. The hungry ghosts immediately stood up and surrounded him, wrapping him in the middle.
This sentence has two meanings.
However, Li Qi coughed twice: "Then... do we need to wait for the master to come? Or should we start now?"
He was not surprised by this reaction, because through the previous chat, he had already understood the importance of the Dao Reader to these people in the Li Dao.
Everything that Li Dao has done so far is based on the analysis and dissection of other Daos, and then applied to reality, and there must be no conflict.
Therefore, for them, how to unify the conflicts of other Daos is particularly important, because Li Dao cannot examine other Daos from the perspective of the Dao of the parties involved.
For example, he wants to use a human Dao technique and a witch Dao technique to blend together to make a set of arrays.
At this time, he can neither use the principles and perspectives of humanity nor the perspectives of witch Dao, because using these two perspectives and principles will inevitably lead to incompatibility.
Therefore, at this time, there must be an impartial third-party perspective to ensure that these methods can be used at the same time, so they need to master as many third-party perspectives with good compatibility as possible.
And this third-party perspective is not so easy to get. This thing is a means for Dao Dao to understand the world, and most of them are very complex and sophisticated.
The Dao Reader is obviously the way for the Spirit Dao to know the world. For these Li Dao, the Dao Reader of the Spirit Dao, and the improved version of the Wushu, is simply a brand new perspective and a very useful thing. Through this perspective, they can integrate more magic.
So, it is no wonder that Wang Dun was so anxious and even paid a lot of other knowledge and the ticket of this ship to exchange this Dao Reader for Li Qi.
Moreover, this exchange of knowledge is far from over.
Li Qi came here to listen to the class, not just to give lectures to others. He will learn a lot of things here before leaving.
It is not easy to get in touch with the Li Dao, how can he just leave casually?
On the other side, Wang Dun urged: "Let's start now without further delay!"
"Okay!"
"Let's start quickly! Sir, please take a seat!"
"Tea is ready here, let's start, the teaching aids are ready, what kind of illusion will be used for explanation? Flat or three-dimensional?"
A bunch of people in the Tao of Reason couldn't wait to turn on the projection. This kind of thing can show different pictures through illusions according to the operation, which is lifelike and very convenient for teaching and giving examples.
And Li Qi stood in front of everyone, coughed twice, and said: "Ahem, then I will use a flat one, sorry for the joke, if there is anything wrong, please correct me, let's learn from each other and make progress together!"
After speaking, he began to show and explain his Tao Reader.
The Tao Reader is the sense organ of people in the Spiritual Dao.
As pure spirits, they don't even have a soul.
Because the soul is also a material, it can be sensed, touched, and even destroyed by powerful forces. It is just a mysterious material that can exist as a thinking organ.
Pure spirits are more mysterious and profound. They do not rely on any material and cannot be perceived in the material world, just like you cannot perceive the number "one" in the material world.
You can perceive things that are very similar to "one", such as a glass of water, a bowl of rice, a tree, a horse, a building, and a ship.
But there is no "one" itself.
"One" is an extremely abstract, extremely symbolic thing that only exists in pure logic. There is no corresponding thing in the real world, and this is true for all numbers.
However, in the Tao Reader, you can clearly feel the "one", and you can directly read the abstract logic in this concrete world.
Lingdao calls these information flows and abstract logic "Tao", and believes that this is the foundation of the existence of all things, so they call the ability to observe these abstract logics "Tao Reader".
The foundation of all this comes from abandoning the five aggregates and letting your senses directly accept the impact of external things.
Because external things are material, concrete matter must have its abstract side, just like there is light and there is shadow, abstraction is the necessity of concreteness.
For example, it's like painting and text.
Painting, what is drawn is not the material itself, but you can still see the painting and understand what the painting represents, even if the painting looks completely different from the original material, but you can understand it.
You can also see the text, which can be said to have nothing to do with the material, but you can still understand what material the text represents.
Because you don't understand the material itself, but the abstract characteristics of the material.
This is the 'abstract quality' of matter. People can extract this abstract quality and then reproduce it, and then they can reproduce the matter itself in other people's minds.
This is why the Dao Reader can identify concrete matter. Concrete matter must have abstract qualities that can be understood by the mind.
Through the description and description of abstract qualities, a language similar to the 'Dao' is generated.
This is also the way for the spiritual way to confirm the inner existence of others.
Through the understanding of the abstract characteristics of matter, the 'Dao' is transformed into a language, because there is no private language in the world, and all languages must have publicness, and then through this publicness, the existence of other people's minds can be confirmed, and at the same time, the abstractness of other people's minds can be obtained, and then they can be materialized and communicated.
This is the fundamental principle of the Dao Reader.
"So, if you want to understand and use the Dao Reader, you need to first abandon your inherent understanding of the material world. A stone is not a stone. There is something completely different behind it. This thing is another layer of the essence of the stone, which is its more peculiar essence beyond mass, material composition, and spectrum."
Under Li Qi's words, everyone in the Li Dao began to try to contact the Dao Reader.
The class is still going on.
And, because Li Qi will go to the deep ocean with them, this class will not be a one-day or two-day thing.
