Chapter 526: Western Heaven Affairs
In Xuanjing Mountain, in Li Qi's cave, everyone clearly felt a spiritual energy coming towards them.
The source was... deep in the cave.
Li Qi didn't even say hello, and disappeared in an instant, landing directly in front of the bed.
Shen Shuibi came here faster than Li Qi. She covered her mouth with both hands and looked at the light in front of her with a trance.
Li Qi took two steps at a time and opened the light.
But he saw that there was a little girl inside, who looked 80% like Shen Shuibi and 20% like Li Qi.
This made Li Qi feel relieved.
Fortunately, she looked like her mother.
The child did not cry, and was already very big. She was not a baby. She looked about one or two years old. She could already walk upright, and her big eyes were blinking, looking at Li Qi.
Her mind was very clear, and she seemed to want to say something, but she opened her mouth and babbled a lot of words, but she could not say a complete sentence, and she was sweating profusely.
No matter how smart you are, you have to learn to speak.
Li Qi and Shen Shuibi said nothing, just watching her show her vitality and cuteness.
Mainly, they didn't know what to say.
What expression should be used to face such a little life?
Li Qi didn't know, and Shen Shuibi didn't know either.
And that little life was not weak. She had reached the peak of the ninth rank when she was born, and it could even be said that she could reach the eighth rank anytime and anywhere. She didn't understand the "Tao" around her, but these Taos had become her instincts.
She was not weak, and she could live freely in the world without Li Qi. What was the meaning of parents to her?
Li Qi couldn't help thinking about this in his mind.
If ordinary parents saw the birth of their beloved babies and imagined that "without themselves, the child would not be able to live", then for this child, there was no need for parents at all?
But at this time, this little cutie seemed to be frustrated that she couldn't speak, and simply sat on the bed, opened her mouth and wanted to cry.
But before she could cry out, Shen Shuibi had already stepped forward and stretched out her hands.
Seeing this, the little cutie immediately held back her tears, stretched out her hands happily, and took the initiative to embrace her mother's arms.
And Li Qi's train of thought was interrupted at this time.
Meaningless shit.
What happened at this moment, at this second, was meaningful.
So, he also took a step and walked over, and the three of them stuck together, teasing their daughter who couldn't speak yet.
After that, even Li Qi, who always disliked extravagance, weighed his own property and decisively chose to hold a banquet.
I don't know why, he always felt that he needed to do something to celebrate, otherwise his chest would be stuffy.
Since it was going to be celebrated, a grand banquet was a must.
He invited relatives and friends, his teachers, and the creatures of Xuanjing Mountain, and sent many invitations to celebrate the full moon.
It was an extremely luxurious banquet, and its cost could almost buy several seventh-grade worlds.
And at this banquet, some elders from Luofu Mountain and Wushen Mountain even quarreled over naming her.
There was no quarrel at first, but with Zhu Fengdan around, the atmosphere was unlikely to be good, and this guy almost flipped the table.
In the end, after brainstorming, this little guy also got his own name.
Li Shiwei.
The image of heaven and earth, the warp and weft of yin and yang. According to the correct position of Kunling, imitating the round square of Taizi, "Seven Strategies" said: Saints learn from heaven and earth, and follow the heaven, so the system of Mingtang has Taishi inside, which is like Ziwei Palace; Mingtang is south, which is like Taiwei. "Yuanming Bao" said: Zi means this, and Gong means the middle, which means the diagram of the gods, the opening and closing of yin and yang, are all in this.
Shiwei, is to imitate the actions of ancient saints and learn from Zigong. In this way, the diagram of the gods, the opening and closing of yin and yang, are all in this.
This name can be regarded as expressing enough expectations.
However, there is no such thing as a bunch of people blessing children, because everyone will not do such stupid things.
The road is always your own, and you can only walk it by yourself. You can give a hand at the critical moment, but if you give a child a Faraday at the beginning, the car will most likely be destroyed and people will die.
So at the beginning, it is like giving a bunch of blessings in fairy tales, usually to cause trouble.
Everyone gave it a name, which is already quite a pampering thing.
However, they have no feelings for Li Shiwei, so it is naturally impossible to pamper her so much right away. The reason for doing so still falls on Li Qi.
The importance that Li Qi showed to this child made the other sons a little creepy.
In the past few decades, Boyue and others have also returned from Chang'an, and one by one has been promoted to the seventh rank, and their relationship with Li Qi is still good, and they are still good friends.
Yan Ke saw Li Qi's pampering look and began to persuade him not to spoil the child.
Unfortunately, Li Qi now can't listen at all.
How can he not pamper?
I don't know, Li Qi just feels... I can't refuse. Obviously, he didn't feel anything before the child was born, and even felt that the child might be a bit annoying.
After all, Li Qi didn't like taking care of children since he was young. He wanted to hit other people's naughty children hard.
Of course, he still thinks children are annoying now.
Except for his own children.
After the banquet, Li Qi sent the others away, and then returned to a stable life.
This kind of life lasted for another half a year. During this period, Li Qi sent Lao Ma away and asked him to go outside the domain.
Outside the domain, the Lord of Lingxiao would let Lao Ma get lost.
This would be a bit dangerous, but Li Qi hoped that Lao Ma could really get some motivation.
However, when doing this, Li Qi suddenly felt that he seemed to understand Zhu Fengdan's meaning.
Zhu Fengdan probably looked at him like Lao Ma.
So he had to force him.
However, Li Qi chose to use Lao Ma's own life to force him, while Zhu Fengdan chose to use Shen Shuibi to force Li Qi.
But in the final analysis, the matter is the same.
For more than 70 years, Li Qi has always thought about these things. Now, he has calmed down a lot, can understand many things, and even understand why Shen Shuibi faced it so calmly.
It is inevitable to join the war, and what he has to do is not to fight against his own people.
Face the challenges that should be in front of you, don't let the situation affect your mind, no matter what you do, it should be for the ultimate goal, instead of wasting your energy elsewhere.
Li Qi has learned to be calm, to ignore fear, and to do only what he should do, just like the Demon Prince.
In the battle between the Demon Prince, the Little Heavenly Master Zhang Zong, and the Goddess of Wushan Yao Ji, no matter how tragic the battle was, he treated it indifferently, only doing the best solution, without any fluctuations, just like a machine.
But... Zhu Fengdan still said that doing this is not courage.
Real courage is to feel fear, but still not afraid, rather than ignoring fear and forcing yourself to become a machine.
Just like the years when Li Qi sealed the true knowledge, he was deeply trapped in fear, but still walked out, instead of directly sealing his heart and locking love.
Li Qi continued to meditate, meditating on his future path and how to act. This is his daily practice.
As an immortal, he is not afraid of things being difficult to do, he is only afraid of not knowing how to do it, so he spent a lot of time reflecting and thinking.
"Father, what are you thinking about?" At this time, a child's voice came to Li Qi's ears.
Li Qi looked up and saw nothing, but heard Li Shiwei approaching this side, and it seemed that she was carrying a bunch of little mice, weasels, and various birds behind her. Li Qi didn't see them, but he could hear the sound.
Now he has no true knowledge, and he can no longer do things like vision through walls.
But relying on sound, he can still make correct judgments.
Now Li Shiwei is the child king of the entire Xuanjing Mountain. She deals with various monsters outside every day, and the little monsters of the whole mountain obey her orders.
A veritable mountain king.
In half a year, she has mastered thousands of magic techniques, as well as language and writing at an extraordinary speed.
However, the speed has slowed down now, and the subsequent magic techniques are getting more and more difficult. Her innate talent has almost been used up, and she will soon reach the stage of hard work.
However, with Shen Shuibi and Li Qi teaching in person, the progress is still very fast.
"Nothing, what do you want to do when you suddenly come to me?" Li Qi put aside what he was thinking and looked at his daughter who rushed out from the corner.
She rode on a big wolf and rushed over, followed by a row of rat soldiers, cat generals, and a few bird scouts, as if they were going to fight.
"My mother asked me to come here. She said she wanted to find you! Let me come and call you over. Then I'll leave first!" Li Shiwei said that she didn't want to stay for a second, and rode the big wolf and rushed out of the cave.
She really just came to deliver a message, and didn't plan to say a few more words to her father.
Like all children who have just gained the ability to move, she is a little too active.
This personality is compatible with Yang Ning. Li Qi and Shen Shuibi are both quiet and don't like to move. I don't know how they gave birth to a little bully in the mountains.
Maybe it will be better when she grows up.
Li Qi watched her leave, watching her jump directly off the cliff and then fall into the pool in the river valley.
The height difference is at least 200 meters.
She is in great shape.
With these random things in his mind, Li Qi moved his feet and floated into Shen Shuibi's secret room.
Rabbit was sitting over there. When she saw Li Qi coming, she stood up immediately: "Are you here?"
"Well, is there anything you want the child to call me for? Don't you usually come by yourself?" Li Qi habitually reached out and touched Rabbit's head, saying so.
"You are going to the West, right?" Shen Shuibi got straight to the point as always.
"Well, I am going to go. After all, it has been delayed for decades, but it should be no problem. I have been to Penglai, so what's so special about going to the West? Now I am the best among the sixth-grade. The world is so big that I can go anywhere." Li Qi smiled.
Li Qi is no longer the same as before. The world is so big that there is basically no place he can't go.
Of course, if he goes outside the domain, it's hard to say. After all, the outside world is a lawless place, and it is impossible to be absolutely supervised like the world. Although the sixth-grade is not weak, it dare not say that it is rampant.
"The trip to the West was originally planned, and I will not stop you. However, as you know, Amitabha Buddha once attacked you, and your demonic clone is also somewhat involved with Buddhism. It is said that the Heavenly Demon regards you as an indispensable key to achieving a certain goal. All this means that if you go to the West, I am afraid you will attract a lot of attention."
"Besides, you should also know the news from the Lord of Lingxiao Country, right? You stayed in Fengde Temple in Lingxiao Country for a while in the past, and you also came into contact with the Five Elements Demon Blood. After you left, Fengde Temple was attacked by the demons, and many monks were killed and injured. I think this matter has something to do with you."
Shen Shuibi said these things, looking at Li Qi with some worry: "I am afraid that this trip to the West will also bring out these things. I originally wanted to go with you...but-"
Li Qi comforted: "Shi Wei is still young, now only half a year old, she can't be left unattended, and it's impossible to leave her to the teacher to take care of her. Otherwise, when we come back, I'm afraid she will be completely lawless. You should take care of the child, and I will go to the West. It will take at most one year to go back and forth, which is nothing."
"A few years is nothing, but Shi Wei really can't let go. If I let Da Zhu take over..." Shen Shuibi also smiled bitterly.
The child is in the period of developing intelligence. Zhu Fengdan may be able to guide her to a good path, but Li Qi and Shen Shuibi are definitely worried.
If she grows up like Zhu Fengdan, she will never live a peaceful life in the future.
"Don't worry, this is the world, and the security is tight. The demon has appeared several times seventy years ago, and even went to Chang'an once. I think he was seriously injured, and even one of his eyes was broken. And I'm going to the West Heaven. Unless he wants to face the Buddha in person, he will definitely not make trouble for no reason." Li Qi analyzed.
As long as the demon doesn't take action, Li Qi thinks nothing will happen in the West Heaven. After all, he has been to Penglai when he went to various places before. There is no difference between the road and tourism, just take it as a relaxation.
Just over a year.
"I know that the demon can't take action. I'm not only worried about this. Fengde Temple was attacked by the demons, and you have had conflicts with the demons. There are quite a few demons in Buddhism, but you have offended them..." Shen Shuibi expressed her concerns.
After this reminder, Li Qi suddenly remembered.
When he was at the ninth rank, he met the monk Chanzhi, who was a Buddha and a demon. His fifth rank master came to him and was cursed to death by a witch.
"Well... Buddha and a demon are one, that is, the Lama sect of the Tantric Buddhism. Their power is not that big in Buddhism, and I have never heard of the birth of a Buddha. Besides, Chanzhi is just a small follower, and he should not be involved in me. At that time, he attacked me, the ninth rank, and it made no sense. He should not be so narrow-minded." Li Qi said.
You can doubt the character of those in high positions, but you can't doubt their mind and pattern.
Shen Shuibi sighed. Didn't she understand these? Li Qi's trip should not be risky.
But she always felt uneasy.
Was it the seventy years of peaceful days that made her return to her previous appearance?
