Myriad Paths

Chapter 748 Consequences

In Li Qi's opinion, Buddhism has never flowed in the Buddha Kingdom.

What really made the Buddha Kingdom what it is now is the kindness of Yunjing and the other three demons, but in order to maintain this kindness, Yunjing paid too much, even his own kindness.

He exchanged a kind result at the cost of his own no longer being kind.

Even Li Qi couldn't answer this answer.

After all, Yunjing did a lot of bad things.

If we don't talk about the purpose, but only the means, then his means of attacking dissidents are actually no different from those of those enemies with ulterior motives. He did not conquer these people with Buddhism, but conquered them with the simplest and crudest force.

In Li Qi's words, that is... what he practiced was not Buddhism, but martial arts.

The Buddha Kingdom cannot be established by relying on Buddhism. Even if Buddhism is promoted, people will not believe in Buddhism.

They will only believe in martial arts, that is, to explain everything with power.

Just like now.

Li Qi has seen the future scene, which is not the real future, but the possibility calculated by Li Qi.

Among the many possibilities, Li Qi saw countless rebellions and the fall of the Buddhist Kingdom.

The reason is very simple... Yunjing built the Buddhist Kingdom with his own power, so naturally there will be others who will subvert the Buddhist Kingdom with their power.

"Oh, no need to calculate." Li Qi glanced outside the palace.

A few seconds after Yunjing's death, someone had already noticed it.

The people outside were about to come in, and the usurper had arrived.

Li Qi shook his head, put one hand on Yunjing's body, and then disappeared.

The rebels broke in the next moment, but did not see Yunjing's body.

Before they could take action, another rebel army followed, and the two sides immediately started fighting for control of the city.

The forces that originally belonged to Yunjing also took action immediately. No matter what... there are still many people who firmly believe in Yunjing. They do not trust Buddhism, but trust Yunjing itself.

This may also be the sadness of Yunjing.

Yun Jing believed in Buddhism, but what he did was not in accordance with Buddhism. The Buddha Kingdom that he did was naturally not the one that believed in Buddhism.

Everything was determined by fate.

When Li Qi disappeared, Yun Jing's body also dissipated, and his true spirit was reincarnated.

Li Qi was a little confused.

Is Yun Jing Sariputra?

However, Yun Jing had neither the perseverance to continue for a long time nor the wisdom to practice himself. All he had was Buddha nature, and this Buddha nature was covered by his increasingly deep obsession.

Obsession, delusion, and the kind of obsession with Buddhism even made Yun Jing lose his composure in front of Li Qi before he died.

Even the most powerful Buddha nature was blinded by this and lost its brilliance. The natural great mirror of light was covered with dust and useless from then on.

There was nothing originally, so where could dust come from?

When there was no obsession, the state of mind was perfect and there was great wisdom. When obsession came, he could no longer see the people around him.

"Alas, if this group of people do this, when will Shariputra be found?" Li Qi returned to Shen Shuibi's side and lamented in the boundless void.

"If you can't find it, just say you can't find it, or you can call the Bodhisattva or Buddha directly now and let them find it, after all, it is already in this world." Shen Shuibi suggested casually.

Li Qi shook his head and said no.

He said: "It is not so easy for the demons to cover up. Unless I really find Shariputra without a doubt, it is very likely that Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva will come in person, and Shariputra will be placed in front of her, but she will turn a blind eye."

Now Li Qi is the fourth rank and Shen Shuibi is the fifth rank, so Shen Shuibi actually doesn't know as much as Li Qi about the magical powers of many powerful people.

In the past, it was Rabbit who popularized science for Li Qi, but now it is time for Li Qi to popularize science for Rabbit.

The power of the powerful is incredible. As long as the logic makes sense, it can be realized no matter what the reality is. The magic is a "setting" for them, and the "setting" can be rewritten by themselves. All they have to do is to make the "setting" fit their logic, that is, "their own way".

However, after hearing this, Shen Shuibi tilted his head, thought about it, and then said: "Well... If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the demon must be behind the scenes?"

"Not necessarily pay attention, but these things will be automatically affected. The demon has covered up too many things. In fact, according to my understanding, most of the things related to Buddhism have been intervened by him, just like... me." Li Qi said, and suddenly couldn't help sighing.

That's right, it's Li Qi.

Or, Li Qi is the same as Buddhism...

In this universe, any Taoist, person, or thing that is targeted by the demon will be treated like this. The demon has a very small mind.

The Buddha had a feud with him, so the entire Buddhist sect is the target of the demon. The dispute between Buddha and demon has been passed down since ancient times.

Li Qi attracted his attention, and the result was the same.

The demon didn't seem to pay special attention to this kind of thing, but he would definitely intervene. Through some automatic mechanism that Li Qi didn't know, the demon would always make all kinds of strange arrangements during the time when he was sealed in the formless world.

The demon might still know nothing in the formless world, but his arrangements in the outside world would automatically help him deal with these and lead everything into the future he wanted.

"Wait, if that's the case, we should start from other directions. I think if it is really arranged by the automatic mechanism of the demon, then it is absolutely impossible to just leave it like this and let you slowly search for possible targets. "Shen Shuibi said.

Li Qi shook his head: "Otherwise, what else can I do? Can I fully activate my senses and directly search for souls and read minds on a large scale? In that case, I'm afraid there will be a lot of fights. This is a second-grade world after all, and there are dozens of fourth-grade people. Well, I have already fought with someone, so that Changqiao can move unimpeded. If he is any more arrogant, he may be attacked by a group. "

"No, I'm not asking you to do a forcible search. I'm just saying that the reason why the demon asked you to investigate this matter must be because... you can do what he wants you to do. If you think about it from this perspective, Maybe we can find an opportunity?" Shen Shuibi said.

These words made Li Qi fall into deep thought.

indeed.

Buddhism couldn't find it, and it definitely couldn't find it. Even the Bodhisattva and even the Buddha couldn't find Shariputra. The final result was that Li Qilai could only be responsible for this matter.

Searches ordered by Li Qi can be found, but others who make their own decisions will never be found. This is due to conceptual obstruction. Only Li Qi can break through, or in other words, the demon only gave Li Qi permission.

In other words, it must be Li Qi who comes to find Shariputra, and the demon believes that he can accomplish his ulterior purpose through Li Qi's hands.

From this perspective, if you want to find Shariputra, you need to guess the attitude of the demon.

Why did the demon force Li Qi to come? What can Li Qi help him? Or to put it another way, what should Li Qi do to disgust Buddhism?

After being reminded by Shen Shuibi, Li Qi started to think from this perspective.

From the perspective of motivation, the essence of this matter is the game between Buddhism and demons.

Buddhism believes that if it is left to him, there should be no problem. Shariputra can be found, and the demon will not have much impact, and may even cause him to stumble.

The demon, on the other hand, must have felt that he could use Li Qi's hand to complete his arrangement and cause Buddhism to suffer a big loss.

So, in this matter, which party has benefited from what I have done so far?

Li Qi began to review and calculate the consequences of everything he had done now.

He began to repeatedly observe every second of his past two hundred years and every consequence, taking them all out and savoring them carefully.

What are the consequences he caused?

Two deaths of puppies, and two wastages of wisdom.

The obsession of Ergou.

And now, Cloud Whale's Buddha nature has been obscured and his obsession is deep.

Li Qi suddenly felt terrified!

His grandma’s! A possibility suddenly occurred to him!

As we all know, it is impossible for Shariputra to be possessed by a demon! Everyone agrees on this.

Shariputra's Buddha-nature, wisdom, and Taoist mind are all equally strong, and it is impossible for him to fall into the devil under any circumstances.

However, what if the Buddha nature, Tao mind, and wisdom were separated and experienced tribulations alone?

Li Qi suddenly realized this.

Yes, the two dogs are not Shariputra, the cloud whale is not Shariputra, and the puppy is not Shariputra, but they are most likely parts that were taken apart by Shariputra!

Shariputra was reincarnated and split into three parts, representing his wisdom, Buddha nature, and Taoist heart respectively!

Could it be that...Li Qi personally crushed Shariputra's Buddha nature and Taoist heart?

Without the support of wisdom, Buddha nature cannot clear away the confusion.

Without the help of wisdom, the Taoist heart will lose its direction.

Without a firm Taoist heart, wisdom can only see the road but cannot walk through it. People will say things like "I always know what the right path is, but I just won't go because it is too painful!"

In the same way, if one has wisdom but does not have Buddha nature, it is still unclear where he will eventually go. Li Qi also has wisdom, but he does not think Buddhism is right.

Of these three, Buddha nature determines the path to be taken, wisdom sees where the road leads, and Tao mind is the legs that open up.

Indispensable.

But now, under Li Qi's interference and temptation, the puppy died and reentered reincarnation, the cloud whale's Buddha nature was covered in dust, and the two dogs became possessed by demons!

So, is the only thing left that is ‘wisdom’?

Li Qi thought of this and stood up immediately!

The fourth-grade Buddha statue that he once put away as a clue may also be a symbol of some kind. Li Qi's previous cultivation was only a crack when he poured all his cultivation into it. He had been taking time to study and ponder this thing for the past few hundred years.

Now it seems that this thing... may be reminding him, and may even be the key to Shariputra's appearance!

All these conjectures are just a possibility, but they cannot be ignored.

Now that I have finally made a guess, I have to try it, not to mention that it may be too late!

He said to Shen Shuibi: "Yu'er, you reminded me that there may be something fishy about this matter. I'll go take a look."

"Well, be careful." Shen Shuibi nodded. Since Li Qi has an idea, he can just support it.

Li Qize immediately accelerated, and in an instant, he had arrived at the location of the puppy's true spirit.

Li Qi didn't know where the puppy was, but he could forcibly calculate the other party's location, and then determined that no matter what he did next, he would meet the puppy soon.

The calculated result is that he only needs to walk two million miles to see the puppy.

It's really interesting. The outer world is so vast. Logically, without Li Qi controlling reincarnation and manipulating reincarnation, the puppy would most likely be reincarnated in some unknown corner after death, and might even be reincarnated in those worlds billions of light years away from Li Qi.

But in fact, this did not happen.

The puppy was still reincarnated in the Yao Wanchi Realm.

This made Li Qi more suspicious, so he accelerated slightly.

Two million miles, but in a blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Li Qi had already arrived at the puppy's side.

The puppy was a golden crow in his previous life, and in this life, he was already very old.

In this life, he was a man, reincarnated as an ordinary human race, living in this world full of monsters.

The monster race has no racial concept and believes that all things have spirits, so there are also humanoid races here.

However, the current puppy is not a humanoid race, but a genuine "human race", that is, an immigrant from the world.

The world is so big, there are always some people who can't make it, or don't want to be in the world, or just go out on business. In short, for various reasons, they came to the outside world and left their bloodline or even a whole immigration team.

Some of them simply didn't go back and took root outside the domain.

Now the human city in the Yao Wanchi world is the same.

Li Qi was anxious, so he didn't delay, and didn't say hello to the local snakes here, and broke into it directly.

Fortunately, his movement was very small, and almost no one noticed.

The puppy in front of him, oh... No, after Li Qi read his mind, he found that the other party's name in this life was Chen Jilang.

Chen Jilang in front of him is already a hundred years old, which is considered a long life among the human race who have not practiced. Now this old man has been trapped all his life, and it seems that his luck is not very good.

Li Qi counted with his fingers and easily deduced the other party's life.

Chen Jilang, born ordinary, ordinary, just like most people, nothing special, neither miserable nor glorious.

He still inherited the natural wisdom, but like most ordinary people with some talent, his wisdom was not well utilized.

As a baby, he learned to walk and talk at a very fast speed. When he was young, he was smart and clever. He could recite poems at the age of three and make couplets at the age of five. He was a famous genius in the surrounding area, but his family did not have enough money for him to practice, so he could only study.

When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he began to inherit the family's farmland, and he was no longer as smart as he was when he was a child.

He was smart when he was young, but his wisdom would not be good when he grew up without cultivation.

So, he lived a mediocre life, but he was also healthy and free from disasters.

"Chen Jilang." Li Qi walked up to the old man.
