Myriad Paths

Bai Lu was stunned, why did this person show up at his house?

And Li Qi also looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu's appearance is average, just an ordinary popular face. As a fifth-level practitioner, she does not deliberately make herself look good, because it is meaningless. At this stage, there is really no need to care about appearance.

Your natural looks are pretty good, there is no need to change them.

People like Li Qi and Shen Shuibi basically use their natural appearance. However, some people like to give themselves a good-looking face, but beings at the same level can also tell whether they are natural or not, but those who care about this There are only a few people, it just depends on personal mood, just like putting on makeup.

Seeing Bai Lu look like that, let’s have some tea.

After looking at it, Li Qi handed over a cup of tea, took some information about Bai Lu, and spoke to Bai Lu.

With that look, as if he was lecturing a primary school student who was a little slow to react, Li Qi said: "I have read your report, now you want to solve this cave matter, right?"

Li Qi asked, pointing to the things in the report.

There was one thing written in this report. It mainly said that Bai Lu found a way to transport a cave to the sky through secret means, and about 1.5 billion people came there. However, during the transportation process, due to sealing problems, the atmospheric structure of the cave had problems.

There is an imbalance in the fire energy.

The level of fire energy has increased sharply. If the level of fire energy is allowed to continue to increase, the people in this cave will die, so it cannot be allowed to continue to increase.

But if you prevent it from rising, you will face a huge risk. If the intervention fails, it may plunge the entire planet into a state of ice, because these fire gases keep the cave sky warm through the greenhouse effect.

This kind of subtle adjustment is difficult, so Bai Lu was thinking about technical issues yesterday. How to stably control the balance of these five elements is quite difficult. Even if there are sufficient resources to carry out transformation, one must have that level of technology. OK.

"I don't quite understand why you would use fire to perform the greenhouse effect to maintain the temperature?" Li Qi asked.

Bai Lu didn't know why. She had no idea where this person came from.

However, being able to appear here is in itself a proof of ability, so Bai Lu still answered the other party's question: "Because their sun is very small and the efficiency is very low, they can only use this method. If they are closer to the sun, or As the sun gets hotter, the greenhouse effect is no longer needed."

Bai Lu then joked: "Actually, we just need to move the earth closer to the sun, or heat it up."

Heating the sun was obviously a joke, but Li Qi actually nodded.

Li Qi said easily: "Yes, this is much easier than preparing the fire energy."

"You see, you only need to artificially create and control gravity. In the orbit around the sun, you only need to slightly adjust the orbit of a gas giant planet. According to calculations, by doing so, you can easily make this gas giant planet The gravitational force of the giant planet is unbalanced and it eventually falls into the sun."

"So, this can promote the increase of the sun's own gravity, causing the star to undergo a slight collapse. When the sun's radiation pressure and gravitational pressure re-equilibrate, the collapse will terminate. Under the new equilibrium state, The sun will radiate more heat, and if all parameters are chosen correctly, this increase can just make up for the heat loss caused by the failure of the greenhouse effect."

This new idea was just a casual answer for Li Qi. This question was really not a problem for him, but it made Bai Lu's eyes widen.

This is indeed a... simple method, but one that few people would usually think of.

To think of this method, you only need one very simple thing, which is 'measurement'.

Only those who rub the sun like a toy can think of transforming a star, and it is even simpler. All that is needed is the destruction of a gas giant planet.

To destroy a gas giant planet with a diameter of 200,000 kilometers for a rocky planet with a diameter of less than 20,000 miles, you must know that a ten-fold diameter difference brings a volume difference of more than 1,500 times.

Then, through this 1,500-fold gap, it affects the star that is 1.5 million times larger than the rocky planet, just like dominoes, small things lead to big things.

Moreover, from a technical perspective of calculation, this is much simpler than regulating the atmosphere, because regulating the atmosphere requires calculating population emissions, natural emissions, calculating every tree, all algae, and geological activities. The amount of data is very complicated.

In comparison, it is really easy to calculate how much energy is required by directly throwing a gas giant planet into the sun. There are not many complicated calculations, and only resources are needed.

This requires more resources than controlling the atmosphere, but for Bai Lu, are resources really a big price to pay?

of course not.

So why hasn't this method been thought of before?

The reason was that she figured it out quickly.

Because the 'measure' is not enough.

Her capacity did not allow her to directly think of using something 1.5 million times larger than herself to accomplish a small thing.

Who is the man in front of me?

"This is really an amazing plan. In addition to its surprising scale, its feasibility is also very surprising. What is your name? I am very interested in chatting with you." Bai Lu said.

"My name is 'Li Qi'." Li Qi said.

The moment this name came out, Bai Lu's pupils shrank!

Li Qi!

This name reminded her of the source of all her wealth.

"Yes, you guessed it right, that's it." Li Qi nodded.

Bai Lu's throat was a little hoarse, she was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say. After thinking for a while, she found a sofa and sat down, saying: "Are you... coming to me to collect debts? I took a lot of things from it."

"Of course not, you should have seen the information I wrote when you went in. As long as you come out within four hours, there will be no consequences." Li Qi said with a smile.

"Then you are here?" Bai Lu asked Li Qi carefully.

As a being born in the world, Bai Lu is very clear about the status of some powerful people in this world, and she knows that she has entered the game.

"Qi Palace has existed for a long time, and it has played a role enough. I have got a lot of people like you. I need you to help me fight against the magic." Li Qi said.

"We? Fight against the magic?" Bai Lu pointed at herself, looking confused.

Really or not?

Isn't that courting death? What level of existence is the Demonic Path? As a fifth-grade native of the world, she knows very well that the person in front of her, unless he says he is Haotian now, everything else is nonsense.

Alas, when will the great existence that suppresses the Demonic Path appear?

Her idol, Maudgalyayana, is very powerful in suppressing the demon, but unfortunately he is alone and has no Taoist tradition, so it is difficult to fight against the Demonic Path.

On Li Qi's side, he easily read the other party's heart.

Yeah.

Buddhism has completely disappeared. Now in the eyes of these unreal existences, from the moment this universe began, there is no such thing as Buddhism.

And those great bodhisattvas, arhats, and even the remaining four Buddhas have become "scattered people", they have no Taoist tradition.

To be honest, Li Qi also feels very strange. There are still four first-grade Buddhas in Buddhism, which is enough to support the existence of a great Taoist tradition, but after the Buddha passed away, these Buddhas...

They seem to have lost their backbone, and they seem to be entangled in the existence of "emptiness".

Therefore, although the Buddha, the great bodhisattva, the arhat, and the monks still exist, the Buddhist sect as a whole has obviously collapsed and disappeared.

The demon path is no longer constrained, and the demon path today is much more arrogant than the demon path that Li Qi is familiar with.

Just look at the Dream City.

The Dream City is only half the area of ​​the past, but it accommodates several times the number of people. Li Qi knows what it looks like there without even looking.

Even this is Li Qi's credit, because this half of Li Qi's dojo has also become a part of "hope" and "dream", but Li Qi can't do anything...

What else can be done? Open the door and let the demon path let anyone in?

That's not bullshit, it's just expanding the Dream City directly.

Therefore, Li Qi must use other methods to solve the demon path, which is what he is doing now.

"Yes, we are." Li Qi nodded and said, "Why, are you scared?"

"I'm not scared, but I have a question." Bai Lu asked, "I have been fighting against the devil for a long time, but I don't know what the devil thoughts are... What kind of situation can lead to the devil thoughts?"

"Many years ago, a devil came to me and said, I have always wanted to fight against the devil, but I didn't know that my thoughts of fighting against the devil and chasing idols are also part of the devil thoughts. If I don't give up, sooner or later, I will be possessed by the devil."

When Bai Lu said this, he seemed to be suppressing some gloomy emotions: "So... Senior, I should call you that? If you need me to help you fight against the devil, you should tell me how to fight this kind of thought."

Li Qi nodded slightly.

Good question.

This is indeed the reason why many people can't figure out the devil thoughts.

Li Qi said, "Indeed, it can be said that all thoughts are essentially devil thoughts, but there are still differences, for example... wine tasting and alcoholism are actually different."

Although the ingredients are even the same.

So what is the difference?

In short, it is whether it can be controlled.

"You can simply divide it into two parts. One is the range that your rationality can control, which is the normal thoughts. As for the range outside this range, the uncontrollable ones are the evil thoughts that lead to all destruction."

"But this division is very rough and there are traps in it. For example... your rationality is actually part of the thoughts. When your rationality can suppress all thoughts, it also means that your rationality is about to become evil thoughts."

Bai Lu broke out in a cold sweat.

Reason can also become evil thoughts?

But if you look closely, this seems to be a matter of course.

Reason is undoubtedly also a kind of thought. Even if it is not a thought brought about by emotions, there is actually no difference in essence.

Over-reliance on reason, letting reason suppress all passions, suppress all primitive instincts, suppress all likes and dislikes, and purely using a mechanical mind to deal with everything, it is also suppressing other thoughts, and will eventually brew something more terrible in the mind.

"So, what should be focused on is... balance?" Bai Lu asked tentatively.

Li Qi shook his head and denied: "Wrong, what you need to pay attention to is, don't pay attention to anything, don't let a certain thought dominate. As long as there is no thought to dominate, then the evil thought will not be able to control your behavior."

Bai Lu said: "If there is no thought to dominate, then nothing can be done? After all, the thought of doing something must dominate before you can act, right?"

"Not necessarily, isn't it?" Li Qi revealed another possibility: "The simplest point is sociality and animality, which are also something that many people have. For example, you describe many people's When people say that their personalities are like birds, foxes, wolves or snakes, they don't produce any special results. "

"In these people, human nature and animal nature coexist peacefully and live in peace. They even help each other. Some people have made progress and are envied by others. Their success should be attributed to some animal nature in them, for example... describing him as fierce like a wolf, rather than to human nature. This is a very common thing. "

"So, you might as well accept the different parts of your mind. People are inherently contradictory and chaotic. Why do you have to find a nature to restrain yourself?" Li Qi said so.

What he said is also the way he is now curbing evil thoughts.

If every thought is restrained and there is no dominant one, then he will not be manipulated by any thought. Even if there is an evil thought, what does it matter? The evil thought will never be able to dominate Li Qi's mind.

"Contradictory and chaotic? In other words..." Bai Lu fell into deep thought.

She had never thought about it this way.

In her previous cognition, people should have subjectivity, and people have an "entity", which is the source of all cognition.

But if we follow what the senior said, every thought of a person can be independent and does not need to have an entity.

Is this... possible?

Will it cause schizophrenia?

"Okay, let's think about these later. Now, are you interested in joining my plan?" Li Qi asked.

Bai Lu nodded without hesitation: "I will join. Although I don't know what to do, our goals are the same. With a backer, I will do better."

Li Qi took out a book: "That's fine, then do the first thing. This thing is spread to this half of the hot sand. This is called "Buddhism". It was written by a person called "Tathagata."

"Tathagata, who is it?" Bai Lu asked.

"Don't worry about it, just do it."
