Myriad Paths

Chapter 730: Seeing Xinming Again

The Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom is located in the Taksashila Kingdom.

The Taksashila Kingdom is more than 2,000 miles in circumference, and the capital city is more than 10 miles in circumference.

The royal family in the country has died out, and the chiefs are competing with each other. In the past, they were vassalized by the Kapisa Kingdom, and recently they have become vassals of the Kashmir Kingdom. The land is fertile, the crops are thriving, there are many springs, and the flowers and fruits are flourishing.

The climate is harmonious, the customs are light and brave, and the Three Treasures are revered. Although there are many temples, they are very desolate, and there are few monks, and they all study Mahayana.

Li Qi and Shen Shuibi took a short rest here.

In fact, Li Qi came here following the guidance of his sixth sense. He himself didn't know why he ended up here, but this is the witch.

Witches always do things this way.

This is a relatively wild country. There is only one eighth-grade monk, but there are many eighth-grade warriors, and even some primitive witches, or shamans. There are wars and killings inside the country, and there are constant chaos and wars, and there is no Buddha nature at all.

As mentioned before: the customs are frivolous and brave, although there are many temples, they are very desolate and there are few monks.

But after all, it is in the Buddha's kingdom, and there are often monks passing by to preach the Dharma. Therefore, what is believed here is not the dual cultivation of Buddha and Demon, but the Mahayana Buddhism.

Shen Shuibi and Li Qi took a short rest in this Mahayana Buddhist temple.

Mainly because Shen Shuibi had just woken up from the deduction and fell into the same state as Li Qi before, that is, the kind of daze from time to time, and occasionally began to think.

How to say...

They are worthy of being husband and wife.

Not from the same family, not from the same door, the signs before these two breakthroughs are so similar.

"Then, the two donors rest here, I will leave." A kind-looking old monk put his hands together and said to Li Qi.

Li Qi immediately stood up, left Shen Shuibi, came to the door, and said, "Thank you for taking me in."

"Don't be polite, sir. I just want to stay for a while, so there's no reason to refuse. By the way, there's a bell every morning and noon. When the bell rings, you can go to the main hall to have some vegetarian food. The monks in the temple don't eat after noon, but there's no such rule for pilgrims, so if you're hungry at night, you can still go." The old monk said to Li Qi.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master." Li Qi performed a Buddhist salute.

The old monk returned the salute and said, "It's just that the donor has a female family, so it's better to stay away from the backyard. There are young disciples there, and they're impatient. You still need to be careful."

While speaking, he glanced at Shen Shuibi.

What a beautiful female donor, those little monks will inevitably be upset when they see her... So it's better to keep those guys from seeing her, it's better to have less trouble than more.

Thinking of this, he closed the door for Li Qi.

Li Qi turned around and looked at Shen Shuibi.

The rabbit was still in a daze, in an energy-saving state.

"Yu'er." Li Qi patted her head.

Rabbit forced herself to wake up: "Well... what's wrong? Oh, we are out of Dajini Heaven now, right?"

"Well, I found a secluded place where I can rest for a while. It's still in the Buddha's Kingdom and it's relatively quiet." Li Qi said.

"That's good... By the way, Dajini Heaven, she asked you to find Shariputra, right?" Rabbit asked.

"Yes." Li Qi nodded.

"Then we should go on this trip, but in my current state... I may need to wait for a while. I have to find a clue to calm down at least..." Shen Shuibi said.

"Take your time, don't worry." Li Qi touched her hair: "There is plenty of time. We will rest here for a few days. You can just stay at home. Nothing will happen."

In this case, you really need to find the clue. You don't have to find the answer, but at least you need to have an idea.

Otherwise, probably no practitioner can stay calm.

This is an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Shen Shuibi still can't find the idea. She is trying to find her own thread from the endless tangled mess.

This still requires some time or inspiration.

Some practitioners are stuck at this step, going crazy and confused, and there are not a few who end up in the mortal world.

Of course, in some rumors and stories, they may be awakened by the words of a young man unintentionally, and then suddenly realize it, ascend to heaven again, and their cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and their grades will also be improved.

Of course, these two types of people are definitely a minority.

Most of them are like Shen Shuibi, who thinks seriously, turns all the previous background and thinking into the driving force for moving forward at this moment, and finally finds his own answer.

If you can't find it, then it is naturally a waste of this opportunity. Come back next time.

Of course, there are also some like Li Qi, who are too smart, so a lot of answers will come up, all of which are placed in front of you for you to choose.

At this time, the problem is actually very big, and this is also the most difficult thing that geniuses encounter.

So many forks in the road? Which one is the right one?

If you go wrong, the road is cut off, which is not a joke. At that time, you can only risk being completely hopeless and reincarnating to solve it.

This was what happened to Shariputra this time. The demon prince defeated him through debate, making him realize the problems in his practice, and finally he was reincarnated.

Fortunately, Li Qi did not encounter these things for the time being.

Shen Shuibi did not reply, but continued to think seriously.

Li Qi rested in the Buddhist temple and donated some incense money. He could not eat, drink and live for free.

After that, he wandered around, but still paid attention to Shen Shuibi at any time.

However, as he walked, Li Qi suddenly saw an old monk.

It is not so accurate to say that he saw it. In fact, the other party was sitting in the mountains about 200 miles away. Li Qi sensed it through the breath.

That was really an old monk.

He was hunched over and skinny. The dust on his body almost condensed into stone, and some plants grew on it.

It can be seen that this old monk has been sitting here for at least a hundred years.

Li Qi jumped lightly and came to the side of the old monk.

Li Qi knew this old monk. He had seen him before.

Once, in Baiyue, there was a young monk who claimed to go to the Western Paradise of Buddha, but passed by a place where demons and humans fought and prayed for the dead.

Li Qi did not know his name, but his Buddhist name was "Xinming" (see Chapter 354 for details)

The young monk at that time has really walked to the Buddha's country now, and he is still in deep thought here.

And it seems that it is the same situation as Shen Shuibi.

The other party was already at the seventh rank, and it seemed that he was stuck at the limit of breaking through the sixth rank. This thought lasted for a hundred years until dust formed on his body, and the dust gathered into stone, and soil piled on the stone, and flowers grew in the soil, and vines grew out, almost covering the whole person.

"Master Xinming, I didn't expect to meet you again after more than a thousand years." Li Qi came to the side of the stone and smiled at the old monk in front of him.

The old monk moved slowly, but there was no other movement. He just slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Qi. He was obviously confused.

But he thought about it, and soon he dug out the long-forgotten impression from the pile of miscellaneous items in his memory.

So, the old monk said: "It turned out to be the senior... It's really predestined. After a thousand years, I can still see the old friend."

"Your progress is quite fast. I heard that there are only eight rank here, and I didn't expect there is a hermit master like you." Li Qi smiled.

"Compared to the senior, I am not a great man. When I saw the senior in the past, I only felt that he was a mountain, like standing by the river and the sea. Now, when I see him again, it is like dust floating in the galaxy. I can't tell the difference anymore." The old monk sighed.

At the same time, Li Qi could also see that the other party's eyes changed from turbid to bright.

Divine Eye, this is the real Divine Eye.

After a thousand years, he has gone from a rudimentary form to truly mastering the "Divine Eye", so... even Li Qi was seen through by him, and he could even see Li Qi's cultivation.

After all, it is one of the six supernatural powers, which can see the life and death, suffering and happiness of sentient beings in the six realms, and see all kinds of forms and colors in the world without any obstacles.

Subtle and extraordinary, enlightened and clear, in the infinite and boundless worlds of the ten directions, all forms, colors, images and lights, no matter how coarse or fine, near or far, the Divine Eye can see everything.

After illuminating the good understanding and good vision, he also saw that all sentient beings who were born in various realms, except for the colorless heaven, continued to have karma and birth and death, and if the karma and karma were distinguished, all the roots were known without omission.

Appearance, color, life and death, karma, subtle roots, all causes and effects are in the eyes.

"No wonder you want to close your eyes and live in seclusion in the mountains. Everything you see with the divine eye must be painful, right?" Li Qi saw the other person's eyes, felt the looming gaze on him, and sighed.

The power brought by the divine eye, normally, can only be felt by the fourth or even third grade, but Monk Xinming has obtained this power now because of a coincidence...

This is not a good thing. When you open your eyes, you can see the infinite worlds in all directions, and the vast scenery outside the endless domain rushes into your eyes...

This is even more terrible than the true knowledge of the rhyme. After all, the true knowledge of the rhyme has a range limit, and Li Qi can also actively control the size of the convergence range. Generally speaking, he usually just looks at the surrounding circle, and he has become accustomed to the feeling of this information flowing through his brain.

But for Monk Xinming, he only needs to open his eyes to see the life and death, suffering and happiness of all beings in the heavens and the worlds.

All this will disturb his Tao heart.

Sometimes, knowing too much makes it difficult to take a step.

When there is only one choice in front of him, people can often move forward without hesitation, and he will look very determined.

But when there are millions of choices, this is the time to truly test his firm will. He needs to truly understand what he wants before he can move forward firmly.

And now, the choices given to Monk Xinming by the divine eye are too many for him.

So he closed his senses, closed his eyes, and retreated here, quietly digesting these powers.

"The power you have is about the same as mine, right? I can see your Daoyun, which is greedily collecting all the information nearby, and then throwing it to you regardless. You are the same as me, unable to control it." Monk Xinming sighed with sympathy.

"It's OK, I'm almost used to it. Do you need me to teach you some methods? Maybe I can help you control this state."

When Monk Xinming heard this, he was stunned at first, then he put his hands together and made a Buddhist salute: "Senior, are you serious?"

"You and I are in the same boat, why should I lie to you? I have also encountered your situation, but if it can help you, I do have a favor to ask for." Li Qi said so.

This is what Li Qi just realized.

The sixth sense was verified.

"Senior, you have done me a favor before, and I will repay you. Whether it succeeds or not, just tell me." Monk Xinming said so.

Li Qi nodded, and then, around him, the inner world quietly appeared, and he began to perform the law.

The method that Li Qi performed is a statistical method.

This statistical method was originally taught to Li Qi by the chief priest at the Imperial College in Chang'an. It can coordinate many messy data in the body and deduce many usable methods.

Now this algorithm has been modified a lot by Li Qi and is specifically used to handle the accumulation of large amounts of data.

It is also very simple, just simplify it.

For example, countably infinite points cannot be connected into a straight line, but only by simplifying the points into line segments, the entire number axis can be filled with rational numbers without affecting practical applications.

These conveniences are not complete for "reality" and will also cause information distortion, but they are very valuable and even necessary.

For example, to calculate pi, 3.14 is enough. At most, 3.1415926 is used. There is no need to use more.

The error of calculating the circumference of the earth with 7 bits will be less than 1 meter, the error of calculating the horizontal area of ​​the Milky Way with 42 bits will be less than 1 square meter, and the error of calculating the circumference of the observable universe with 62 bits will be less than 1 Planck length.

Therefore, as long as this simplification is promoted and classified, smooth deduction can be achieved.

Li Qi performed the method, and Monk Xinming listened carefully.

He had the clairvoyance, so he didn't need to worry about whether he could receive information, he just needed to understand it.

Fortunately, this set of methods was obviously within his scope of understanding.

As Li Qi performed the method, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and even at the end, those eyes gave people a melting metal texture.

Li Qi even felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was seen through.

It is worthy of being one of the six magical powers of Buddhism...

Being able to control this level of magical power at this level, he is also worthy of being called a "Buddha's son", right?

As the sermon continued, about half an hour later, suddenly, the aura of Monk Xinming changed violently!

His foundation was already enough, and now with Li Qi's advice, he broke through on the spot and became a sixth-grade!

The information given by the clairvoyance is no longer oppression, but his help!

However, he quickly suppressed his aura and did not get up.

"Why don't you get up?" Li Qi stopped performing the method and asked curiously.

"There are still living beings on my body. If I stand up, wouldn't that be killing them?" Monk Xinming replied in a very good mood.

"Haha." Li Qi just laughed, looked at the dirt, stones, flowers and plants on his body, and said, "Then you may have to sit until winter."

"I can sit for a thousand years, so what's the harm in sitting for another winter? It doesn't affect me, but it can save lives, so I should do it." Monk Xinming said, "Let's not talk about this. Thank you for your kindness in performing the Dharma. May I ask what help you need from me?"

"You have the clairvoyance, I want you to help me see the reincarnation and find someone." Li Qi said.

It's a coincidence, but... it's Li Qi's coincidence.

Now, Li Qi is also a powerful person who can create coincidences.
