Myriad Paths

At the same time, Li Qi began to have endless distracting thoughts in his heart.

When evil views arise in the mind, they confuse all truths and conjecture, contaminating wisdom as their nature, which can hinder good views and cause suffering as karma.

Li Qi's wisdom, thinking, and the anger and resentment in his heart all filled his mind.

Joy brings joy to the heart, anger brings troubles to the heart.

Those who mourn are heartbroken, and those who are fearful are terrified.

Love is the desire in the heart, evil is the hatred in the heart, and desire is the yearning in the heart.

What is heart?

The heart is neither the heart nor the brain, but human thoughts, which are the elements of all human psychological activities. What the heart emits is what the thoughts move, which is the idea, or simply the mind; where the heart goes is where the thoughts gather, and the gathering of thoughts is the will. Thoughts come and go, like the bubbles of a dream.

There is a feeling in the heart, a movement in the nature, and it arises due to different conditions. It is not like it exists all the time, but it begins to exist due to a certain state.

The nature is free from evil and filthy, and it benefits both oneself and others. Therefore, all theories say that if a Bodhisattva takes others as oneself, it benefits others and benefits oneself and ears, so it is called good. There are six kinds of afflictions, namely greed and even wrong views.

Sex is the fundamental affliction. It can give rise to confusion, so it is called fundamental trouble, which means disturbing. It disturbs sentient beings and is always in life and death. Sentient is a different name for people and living beings. Because of the awareness of sentient beings, it is called sentient. Because sentient beings have greed, etc., Disturbing the body and mind causes one to drown in the sea of ​​suffering of life and death for a long time without being able to escape, hence the name trouble.

The troubles in Li Qi's heart extend endlessly.

The trouble with Xi is his confidence in his own talent and mastery.

The annoyance of anger is his resentment towards the various deeds of the devil today.

The trouble of grief is the pain he feels over what happened to his daughter.

The trouble of fear is his fear of the demon targeting him.

The trouble of love is his nostalgia and worry for Shen Shuibi. Even when he was in Baiyue, he almost chose to burn the day and give up 'rightness' and 'righteousness' because of this.

The trouble of evil is his extreme disgust for the evil in front of him, so much so that he goes on a killing spree.

The trouble of desire is his desire for promotion and his desire to break through the third level of power.

All kinds of things are the 'troubles' in his heart.

The five-aggregate demon controlled the channel through which his mind controls matter, while the trouble demon filled his mind with troubles.

With endless troubles, it is said that one is angry and even scattered. Due to the fluid nature of the different locations of his fundamental afflictions, many assumptions are based on the locations of the fundamental afflictions. The fundamental afflictions are found in various locations.

Anger, hatred, and other accompanying troubles are all numbered according to the difference in the position of anger in the root.

Those with the same flow nature are talking about the same type, which means that the troubles that follow are based on the fundamental nature of the troubles. The type of things flows continuously, so it is called the troubles that follow.

Greed, anger, ignorance, conceit, suspicion, evil views, sagaya, side attachment, wrong views, attachment to views, and attachment to abstention all surrounded Li Qi, completely disrupting his thinking and causing evil thoughts to arise.

At the same time, the 'devil lineage' that had just turned into thoughts quietly sneaked into Li Qi's mind.

Many 'motivations' suddenly arose in Li Qi's heart.

What to do at this time?

There are thousands of ways to resist, ways to resist, and various responses.

Which one to choose?

It seems that either one is right.

But...are these thoughts, these 'thoughts', really your own?

The Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon lineage quietly sneaked into Li Qi's mind and turned into his 'ideas'.

Yes, it directly became Li Qi's 'idea'. Many 'methods' popped up in Li Qi's mind, and these methods came completely from his mind.

This is a typical 'idea suddenly occurs' or 'inspiration suddenly strikes'.

But this is not your inspiration.

This is the transformation of a demon king from the lineage of heavenly demons. If you believe it, you will definitely be led into the boundless hell.

But the problem is...

How do you tell the difference?

How do you know if this is your own idea or the idea of ​​the Demon Lord pretending to be you?

Under the interference of endless troubles and the five skandhas demons controlling the physical body, can Li Qi really break through so many demonic thoughts and interference from heavenly demons and find his true heart?

Even the thought of 'finding one's original heart' may become 'angry'.

Being angry means being angry at the current unhelpful situation, being able to resist being angry, and holding on to the situation as a career.

The so-called being unhelpful to the current situation means that based on what we see and hear now, if we have feelings for others or other people's opinions, it is not beneficial to us. When facing such a situation, we will have anger and the nature of anger. That is, anger. As the saying goes, anger is raging and unstoppable.

If you are dissatisfied with the current situation, you will feel angry. This... is also one of the worries and one of the evil thoughts.

It’s hard for you to tell whether I am ‘dissatisfied with the status quo’ or ‘want to change the status quo’.

The two are completely different and can even exist at the same time.

Because they are dissatisfied with the status quo, they want to change it. This is something that many people have.

But this does not affect the fact that "anger" is a kind of worry. The correct approach should be to "recognize that this matter needs to change", but not to be angry or angry, but to change without being "dissatisfied".

It's because this thing is wrong, so it needs to be changed, not "because I'm dissatisfied with this thing, so I need to change it."

There seems to be no difference, but the place where the evil thoughts breed is difficult to describe.

That's why it's particularly difficult for practitioners of the Heavenly Demon lineage to deal with it. That's why the Heavenly Demon exists widely in the Taoist hearts of so many people. You don't even know whether it's the evil thoughts implanted by others or your own thoughts.

How many people in the world can be completely free of evil thoughts? And the lowest level is that of a Buddha.

The mind has feelings, the nature is moved, and the psychological activities manifested by feeling and then expressing are human nature. It is said that if you have to be immobile and emotionless, but you can still maintain wisdom and thinking, you have reached the realm of Buddha, which is not ordinary. What practitioners can achieve.

Bodhi means enlightenment, and trouble means sinking. They are two sides of the same body.

The yang side is called Bodhi, and the yin side is called troubles. Yin and Yang are one and there is no way to separate them. Therefore, "Bodhi is troubles, troubles are Bodhisattva". It all depends on the rotation of Yin and Yang, which side is facing up. Bodhi and worries are neither added to the holy nor reduced to the ordinary. If you want to get rid of the worries in exchange for Bodhi, you have already deviated from "Bodhi".

The fundamental difference between the two is only one thought, which all depends on your intention. The original intention of the demonic thought is all based on this one thought, so you must be careful.

Wrong views, troubles, ignorance and delusion in one's own body, and self-awareness of one's own nature, actually give birth to demons.

The evil thoughts of the heavenly demon lineage are causing trouble, so they are constantly greedy, have endless worries, are angry and angry, and are shrouded in all kinds of negative emotions, which makes them angry and angry.

Along with these, the five ghosts of "anger, hatred, resentment, and trouble" followed.

The five ghosts quietly emerged in Li Qi's mind,

The more capable a person is, the more temperamental he is, and the more angry, resentful, and troubled he is, the more his nature will be obscured, the harder it will be for him to show his true intention, and the less he will be able to be a good person.

Even if he wants to return from his lost ways, he has no choice but to be in charge of the five ghosts and his nature cannot make the decision. He can only cry in vain: It is too difficult to be a good person!

We often see people like this struggling in pain, trying to get rid of the clutches of the five ghosts. Some people can't get rid of them and simply become possessed by the devil.

Just after they met, the four fourth-level demons joined forces and in an instant completely controlled Li Qi's mind, body, and the bridge between mind and body.

If it was an ordinary fourth grade, there would be no chance of turning around at this time.

The Fourth Grade Demon Dao is really no joke with you.

There are so many weird and unpredictable methods that can make people lose themselves unconsciously, let alone three fourth-level demon kings from different paths joining forces.

Li Qi's Taoist heart is not strong enough.

And to be honest...

He might not be aware of all these attacks, because the Five Aggregates Demon has completely tampered with his cognition. The fourth-grade foreigner with weak strength even feels that nothing has happened now and that he is still very healthy. Just some inexplicable troubles.

Got it.

The four demon kings reached a consensus almost instantly, and the next moment was to erode the soul and body, causing them to decay.

only--

At this time, the demon kings of the demon lineage felt some kind of targeted ‘attention’ in their demonic thoughts.

The next moment, all the demon thoughts were strangled! !

It’s the same problem just now.

How do you tell the difference?

How do you know if this is your own idea or the idea of ​​the Demon Lord pretending to be you?

the answer is--

Depends on equipment.

Li Qi activated the magic weapon, which was the compass given to him by the great witch Yunfang, which was essentially a Gu worm.

As a witch, Yunfang Great Witch is also quite superb in his methods of refining Gu. After all, he is a third-level wizard, so he has a lot of time to practice these strange and obscene skills.

This Gu insect is neither alive nor dead. It is always in the state of pupation. Its soul is extremely clear and has no thoughts. It is an extremely rare life with "no evil thoughts".

No demonic thoughts. Normally, if a creature does not have any demonic thoughts, it means that it has no thoughts. It is a dead person and an object.

Unless your mind can reach the level of the Buddha, or there are some special exceptions, you can maintain normal thinking and at the same time remain unmoved and unmoved.

This is the case with this Gu insect. He is a dead thing, but he has a clear mind that can reflect evil thoughts.

In other words, with the help of this thing, Li Qi could clearly see the movements of all fourth-level demon kings and determine all their directions.

You know, Great Witch Yunfang said that this thing can even reflect the third-level magic path.

Li Qi had grasped the opponent's movements from the beginning. The two demons, the Worry Demon and the Heavenly Demon, had no effect at all. Li Qi just made them think they were useful.

And all this is meaningful.

Because there is another problem that Li Qi needs to solve.

That was the demon kings of the Wuyun Demon lineage. These two really cut off Li Qi's mind and body. Although Li Qi knew the locations of the other demon kings, he couldn't control himself to kill them one by one.

However, this is also the part that Li Qi is best at.

The five-aggregate demon is very familiar with it.

Among the four demons, this is the one he is most familiar with.

Five aggregates, what are the aggregates?

"Lun" says: "Because of the accumulation of meaning, it is called the aggregate."

The five aggregates are one form aggregate, two feeling aggregates, three thought aggregates, four formation aggregates, and five consciousness aggregates.

In the world, there is a so-called self, and there is a so-called universe, so we analyze the so-called self and the universe. They are just the accumulation of things such as form, feeling, and so on.

There is no real self, and no real universe. Just like peeling off banana leaves one by one, there is no real thing.

This is what is called ‘emptiness’.

Buddhism says that by destroying the view of attachment to self and things, things and myself will perish, only then can the purity of our own nature be revealed. This self-nature is our own nature. But this self is not called a small self, but is the original pure nature of myself and all things. It is called my own nature.

This is what the Heart Sutra calls "no worries and no fears".

Obstacles and fears are very subtle and hidden, and people are trapped by them without realizing it. These are all caused by self-grasping and objects. When attachment is broken, the self-nature is revealed. There is no such thing in the self-nature.

The nature of the five aggregates emerged in Li Qi's mind, and he was ready to break the blockade of the five aggregates demon.

However, at this moment, a sword energy came from the horizon!

Rotate to the Fire Mansion in the south, and move to the River Kui in the north!

A sword dropped from the sky, destroying all the defensive arrangements arranged by the surrounding demon lords. Suddenly, the murderous aura was red day and night, the withered bones cried at night, the halberds were broken into pieces, and no one could stop him!

The sword energy exploded, screaming, and rushed into this place!

The martial arts divine will unfolds, as if shining with the light of a trillion stars, ejecting huge dazzling jets, directly changing the structure of the surrounding universe!

It was like a golden river, with some kind of energy flowing through it.

A small opening as big as a palm has been penetrated through the ceilings on many floors above this underground city, but from this small opening, brilliant holy light is revealed, and waves of terrifying aura are continuously shot out from it, oppressing the soul. , giving people an unparalleled sense of fear and sacredness.

The rays of light are like mercury pouring down the ground, penetrating everywhere and there is absolutely no possibility of dodge!

Except for the Heavenly Demon Lord who has turned into a demonic thought, the other three demon Lords immediately stopped and defended with all their strength!

This sword intent, this level——

Fourth level martial arts!

The three fourth-level demon kings were forced back by the sudden attack.

At the same time, Li Qi was also temporarily rescued from the control of the Five Yun Demon.

Then, I saw a hand patting Li Qi's shoulder, and a bold female voice said: "Be careful, I'm here to save you. Although you are a witch, you still have some blood, and you collided with me. It’s fate, you and I might as well make a fuss here, how about it?”

Li Qi turned his head and looked at the elder sister next to him.

She is a female warrior, a typical human race in the world. She looks pretty, but she exudes a heroic spirit. What she holds in her hand is not an ordinary light sword, but an eight-sided heavy sword. It has no flexibility at all. It is said that it is a sword. , rather than a stick.

"Is this fellow Taoist here to save me? Where is the patrol angel?" Li Qi asked.

"The patrol angel is coming soon. As for me, I just came here to prepare to smash something. After all, I have been unhappy with the devil's way for a long time, but I happened to meet you and struck first. When I saw you falling into a disadvantage, I happened to come down to help you, but... your There are still thoughts of the Demon Lord in the body, and the state is not very good, but don't worry, I will protect you." The female warrior said, while waving the heavy sword in her hand, her attention was already focused on the three who had just dodged. On a demon king.

Li Qize breathed out: "Thank you very much, girl. However, we can work together, but don't look down on me."

After saying this, he made a hand gesture.

Purity method! (End of chapter)
