Myriad Paths

To be honest, visiting the heavens was just to increase his knowledge and knowledge, and nothing else was involved. Li Qi's real purpose had been achieved.

Of course, the heavens here are actually just the heavens of Buddhism. In fact, there are heavens in other places, otherwise there would be no such thing as "all heavens and all realms".

The heavens are all heavens, and all realms are all realms. It is the group of worlds outside and these heavens that form all that is known.

The famous Sanqingtian of Taoism is the collective name of Yuyutian, Dachitian and Qingweitian.

There are also general names such as Daluotian and Shenxiaotian, as well as practical place names such as Chiming and Yangtian, Yuanmingwenjutian and Xiandingjifengtian below.

The Shinto heaven, especially the many star officials of the Shinto, also have their own heavens, such as the "Zongdongtian" with three walls and twenty-eight constellations. In addition to the Zongdongtian, there is also the Yuanjitian. Chang Jing Tian, ​​Yue Lun Tian, ​​etc.

There are also witchcraft, which correspond to the four seasons of heaven, Haotian, Mintian, and the four heavens above.

There must be a demonic path, and that is the famous desire realm, which is also called the Heaven of Demons.

Of course, Li Qi couldn't go to any of these.

He went only to the Buddhist heavens, starting from the Tujini Heaven and passing through the Duowen Heaven, the Chiguo Heaven, the Growth Heaven, the Guangmu Heaven, the Great Freedom Heaven, and the Auspicious Heaven.

Then turn upward and visit the Ruyi Heaven, the Mighty Virtue Wheel Heaven, the Bright Heaven, the Mighty Virtue Flame Wheel Light Heaven, and the Wisdom Walk Heaven.

Heavenly beings at each level have different happiness and their own interests and hobbies, but the happiness itself remains unchanged. They enjoy the blessings they received in the past until the day when the blessings are exhausted. Fall into suffering, wait until the suffering is over, and then enter the world again as a mortal to decide whether there will be blessings in the next life, and so on.

Or, they can become enlightened in this endless reincarnation, choose to practice, and use practice to escape from this endless sea of ​​suffering.

The Tathagata has a great cause, which is called "enlightening the world".

The Tathagata wants everyone in the world to be awakened, to voluntarily and spontaneously have the desire to practice, and to no longer be content with the joys and sorrows of this world, but to have higher pursuits. Everyone should become a real person who will never shrink back, possess great wisdom, courage and perseverance. The seeker.

The world has all kinds of false names, fighting for some meaningless pieces of metal, but do the 'lives' they fight for, as well as those metal pieces or false names, really have reality?

Therefore, through reincarnation, we can make everyone aware of the vanity of temporary happiness and suffering, and the emptiness of their own lives, so as to temper them and enable all Buddhist practitioners to have an indestructible 'Tao heart'.

No longer shackled to worldly causes and conditions, no longer blinded by illusions, no controlled by demonic thoughts, no longer affected by emotions and delusions, step by step, always making progress, this is their goal.

With this feeling in mind, Li Qihuai read about the heavens. There were some places that he couldn't go to, so he didn't go there. The main thing was to observe the operation of the heavens and the lives of the heavenly people.

This is actually the most important thing, just like what he once said to the shark.

"What kind of rare scene can compare with the tradition that the Shark family has followed for thousands of years?"

If this is the tradition of a clan, what about the heavens and the beings in them that can be said to be eternal?

The great road exists in such ordinary things.

Storing all these things in his heart, he began to 'carve' Buddhist heavens one after another in the small world of his human body through the practice of shamanism.

This can be regarded as a way of practice for shamans. By deepening their understanding of the external world, they can deepen their own personal world.

The principle is also very simple.

Since the great road exists in these ordinary things, then I just move here. Although I may not be able to understand the great road, I can always imitate the cat and imitate the tiger and recreate some magic.

Of course, Li Qifu's engraving of these Buddhist heavens is not perfect enough.

In the past, he stuffed the entire Guangyang into his body. That was because after that great sacrifice, he already knew Guangyang well. The mountains, rivers, and humanities in it all turned into essence in his body and became It is an integral part of his small world, so he can exert 100% of Guangyang's abilities.

And now, after repeating the operation of Guangyang to the Buddhist heavens, my understanding of the heavens is definitely not as good as my understanding of Guangyang, so the reproduced heavens are definitely not restored enough, and many miracles cannot be reproduced. , probably 99% of them can’t understand it.

But how does Guangyang compare with Zhutian? Even if Li Qi cannot reproduce 99% of his power, the remaining 1% is enough for him.

Now Guangyang is just a small place in Li Qi's body. It is no longer the huge area that almost fills his body. But the recreated heavens, just such a fragment, have already made Li Qi feel It's so bloated that it's almost too much to eat.

However, being able to eat to your full capacity means that having something to eat is better than not having anything to eat.

However, all these re-enactments can only be completed with the tacit approval of Dujinitian.

If any shaman comes to the West to do this, do you really think that the Buddhist vajras don't have the appearance of being angry and subduing demons? Understand the Eighteen Shaolin Bronze Men. If you want to go down the mountain, you have to break into the Bronze Man Formation.

Although Li Qi actually didn't know if there was a Bronze Man Formation in the heavens, he didn't want to try.

After reading the entire heaven, two years have passed.

This took longer than Li Qi thought. Even though he tried as fast as possible, it still took a long time.

If you are more leisurely, it is normal to spend four or five years.

The neighbors of Tianren all found it strange and thought he was a weirdo. They couldn't understand why Li Qi still worked so hard, grabbed time, and even didn't rest at all even though he had a long life.

However, Li Qi didn't bother to explain and just went about his own business.

After reading the Buddhist Heavens, Li Qi was ready to pack his bags and go home.

He did not go to bid farewell to Bai Chen Fox King Bodhisattva, because he knew that according to the time concept of the immortals, they would meet again soon.

Li Qi soon left the heavens and returned to the mortal world.

Accompanied by meditation and green smoke, he opened his eyes and came to the Western Heaven region of the world, right in front of the statue of Dujinitian Bodhisattva where he sat before.

Um……

It's great. He had a safe journey. Then, it will only take half a month at most before he can return to Wushen Mountain. By then, he will no longer do anything else and can continue to live peacefully.

He quietly stood up, not disturbing the life of the mortal temple, and left here, preparing to embark on the return journey.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a dark-skinned lama wearing a cockscomb hat, looking straight at him.

uh-huh? Can you see yourself?

I am now in a state of harmony with nature.

Li Qi was a little curious, but he did not take the initiative to provoke the other party, but chose to take a detour.

There's no need to cause trouble. We're about to go home. People can see it if they can see it. Why don't others be allowed to see it? He has cultivated his body and has opened his Dharma eyes, so it is normal for him to be able to see.

Li Qi didn't care about this, and took a short detour, passing through the temple, walking through the streets and urban areas, and came to the wilderness.

Many places in the Western Heaven Buddhist Kingdom are wilderness and have not been developed at all. In fact, there is no need to develop it. After all, the mortal world is only a part of the "Western Heaven". It belongs to one of the six realms of Buddhism and is only one-sixth of the entire Western Heaven.

As soon as Li Qi stepped into the wilderness, he heard a voice coming from his ear: "Donor, please stay. May I ask if the benefactor came from the southwest?"

As he spoke, Li Qi saw the figures of two lamas emerging from the distance.

One of them looks exactly like the lama who saw him in the temple just now. He is probably the same person. However, Li Qi has no true knowledge and cannot directly detect his inner nature, so he does not dare to say anything.

Without true knowledge, he is almost like a blind man. He can only rely on his remaining senses to make judgments, which is far less convenient and fast than using true knowledge.

Another lama was wearing a black robe and a human skin thangka. He was holding a skull in his hand. The skull was shaped into a bowl, and the bowl exuded a fishy smell.

It was a smell that Li Qi was very familiar with. He had killed many monks who made this kind of thing on the way.

In this bowl, there are five nectars.

The excrement of the great master, urine, brain marrow, young man's essence, young girl's red dragon, supplemented by polygonatum root, asparagus flower, purple jasmine, angelica root, tribulus terrestris, plus the five major meats, that is, human flesh, elephant meat, horse Made of meat, dog meat and peacock meat.

This is an extremely evil and filthy thing. They dress it in skulls and hold it in their hands as a magical weapon.

This is because these lamas who cultivate both Buddhas and Demons like to drive demons, hungry ghosts, Yaksha ghosts, etc. to manifest counterfeit things. These evil creatures like to eat the most filthy things in the world, such as urine and feces, as well as the blood and fresh meat of living beings. Therefore, Buddhas and Demons Monks who practice dual cultivation must offer them five kinds of meat and five kinds of nectar as a reward for driving them.

Moreover, just like the Zen monk in the past who drank the five nectars directly when he fought with Li Qi and the others, drinking it directly can also gain great power. Although the side effects are extremely serious and it will also affect the consequences of many reincarnations, Even if it becomes entangled in filth and falls into the three evil realms, it can still be regarded as a good thing that can be used desperately.

But drinking it directly represents the imbalance between Buddha and demon, and it is also something that needs to be carefully considered for them.

Are they those lamas? The brothers of Monk Zenzhi came to visit?

He also directly asked himself if he was from Baiyue, which showed that he had already checked his origin.

Even if the great wizard Yunfang conceals his secret, the simplest physical investigation is still useful.

These thoughts lasted only a moment, but Li Qi's mind changed and he immediately responded: "I am coming from the southwest, what are you two masters doing?"

"I can't call you a master, but I just want to ask, does the donor have any quarrel with my Tsongkhapa lineage? Why have you killed countless juniors of my sect along the way, and still bullied the small ones with the big ones and the sixth level of cultivation?" I'm afraid they're not in good shape," said the lama holding the five nectars.

"I have never bullied them. It's just that they took the lead in provocation. It's despised to bully the small ones, but they disrespect their seniors and even planned an ambush. I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? It's reasonable for me to punish them, and What's so special?" Li Qi said to the two lamas.

At the same time, he was also observing the two lamas carefully.

One is a sixth-grade one, and the other is a fifth-grade one.

None of them are parallel imports, they all have orthodox heritage and come from Tsongkhapa lineage...

He had heard about this. Tsongkhapa, a former disciple of the Buddha, studied under the Bodhisattva Faith, Knowledge, and Knowledge, also known as Manjushri Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva liked him very much. From then on, Tsongkhapa became the Bodhisattva's attendant and listened to many Buddhist teachings. Even when the Bodhisattva led him to worship in front of Sakyamuni Buddha, Tsongkhapa aroused the bodhicitta and used a string of pure and untainted strings. He offered the white crystal orb in front of the Buddha and understood the meaning of "wisdom". His dharma name was "Shan Hui".

Tsongkhapa later wrote scriptures, including "The Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Tantra", which recorded in detail the uses and methods of making the five nectars.

Now, Tsongkhapa has broken away from the original Manjusri lineage, known as "first exoteric and then esoteric", and has become quite close to the Mahakala lineage.

The sixth-grade one is the one who first saw Li Qi in the natural state in front of the White Star Fox King Bodhisattva Temple, wearing a red cockscomb hat and a cloth cassock.

The fifth-grade one is the one holding the five nectars, wearing a human skin thangka, replacing the cassock.

The fifth and sixth grades are really difficult to deal with.

The sixth-rank lama said, "Punish them? But I see your level. The magic you used can completely make them invisible. You can obviously avoid it and make these juniors not provoke you. Even if you show your cultivation directly, they will not embarrass you. But you chose to hide your cultivation and go forward to anger them. This is not an offense, it's fishing." Li Qi heard this and smiled, and said in a gentle tone: "Why, they tried to kill me, is it my fault? I have hidden my cultivation and turned into a mortal. I have no power over them. Any threats, you have no reason to blame me for not indulging them, I am not their biological father, why should I cooperate with them? "

The fifth-rank lama was not anxious at all, just nodded, and then said: "Oh, so this is the donor's temper, no wonder you want to kill my disciples, but it is also their own fault, offending the strong, it is deserved to die, I came to the donor for other things, please don't misunderstand, and trouble the donor to tell the truth, after all, I am worried about my junior brother, and I am really anxious, everyone has feelings, can you understand?"

Worried about my junior brother?

Li Qi's heart skipped a beat.

But I heard the fifth-rank lama continue to say: "I have a junior brother named Jingbuyan and a nephew named Chanzhi. After going to the southwest in the past, there has been no news. I see that the donor has the bad aura of my master's lineage, so I think we have dealt with each other before. Moreover, the donor... even has the shadow of my master's lineage's skills."

"There are shadows of my master's lineage's skills, plus he came from Dajininitian, and my junior brother happens to have some connection with Dajininitian's Taoism. I was thinking, could the donor have some connection with my junior brother?"

"I don't know, can the donor tell me the truth?"
