Chapter 501 Changes in the Western Regions
“Sir, it’s time to eat.”
Rabbit jumped in and hugged Li Yi's neck from behind. Seeing the paper in the other person's hand, his eyes were immediately attracted.
This is just an ordinary piece of paper. Looking at the straight line pattern on it, we can infer that it was torn from a notebook. There are traces of jagged edges on the edge of the paper.
But once the consciousness is focused on the words above, it is like a mountain rising from the ground, and its own existence becomes extremely small.
One word is as heavy as Mount Tai.
Rabbit's mind suddenly sank in.
Suddenly, a five-finger that was bigger than a mountain closed together, and everything quietly returned to calm.
Li Yi put the paper in his pocket to prevent outsiders from seeing it and causing casualties. After all, my parents are still at home, and they are ordinary people who cannot see the "words" they have written.
Rabbit came back to his senses, shook his head, and said: "Chief Immortal, what was that just now? Rabbit just glanced at it and felt like he was trapped in the talisman formation of Qingxuan, the little Taoist priest, and he was like a lost soul. .”
“Edict.”
Li Yi replied: "I should have told you about an application of the power of heaven and earth. The most external manifestation of the results of practice is power. People are often obsessed with this external appearance, thus forgetting that its essence is to increase oneself. weight in heaven and earth.”
"This weight determines your upper limit, and also determines how far you can go in the three realms of the Dao. When you enter the Dao, you learn to use the power of heaven and earth, also called the law. When you reach the Dao, you can master one ten thousandth of the three thousand weak waters. To become enlightened is to become one of them.”
“You are now in the Dao, and you need to master one ten thousandth of the power of heaven and earth.”
Li Yi began to explain to Tu'er his understanding of the three realms of the Great Dao.
At first I thought that those who attained the Tao should have acquired a certain Tao and mastered a certain law.
This is what he deduced from ancient books in his previous life. After his reincarnation, he met many holy kings and found that the theories of three, six, and nine classes still existed among the holy kings.
He overturned his previous argument.
The Holy King attains the Tao, which is the number behind the Tao.
"There are infinite numbers between heaven and earth. All sentient beings can enter the Tao if they only take one of them, and they can attain the Tao if they take two of them. However, all living beings live day and night, and their mouths do not speak the true words, their eyes do not see the true light, and their ears do not hear the true meaning. Perhaps what they seek is perfect. I hope that there will be no one in the world, but in the end there will be no one in ten thousand.”
“Rabbit, all the laws of heaven and earth can be entered. Even human beings’ musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and painting can also be the way. Choose one of them, strive for perfection, and there will be no hindrance to attaining the way.”
Rabbi Tu'er felt a little dizzy after hearing this. She tried to understand Li Yi's words, but it was too far beyond her own realm.
As long as the other party briefly describes various aspects of the realm of Taoism, Rabbit feels like his brain is constantly being hit with a hammer, making a loud banging sound. But once the realm reaches higher, this dizzy feeling disappears.
Rabbit understands that being dizzy is a good thing, because when the immortal preaches, the words are just appearances, and the Taoist rhyme contained in them is the true meaning.
Her level is higher than that of Dong Yunshu and Wei Xi. One of the reasons is that she can often listen to Li Changsheng's sermons. Sometimes, in order to avoid overindulgence, the Immortal Leader would personally make up lessons.
In the past, Rabbit was careless about practicing. To be precise, she didn't care much about things related to fighting. Now that I have experienced the pain of a short life in my previous life, and now I am facing two competitors, I naturally want to keep improving.
She held her head against the pain and asked, "What about Wuxiang?"
"The Tao of Wuxiang is the number in front of the Tao." Li Yi replied: "The strength of a holy king depends on the Tao he cultivates. For example, Yun Shu is the sage of the sword, so he is unparalleled in the world. And Mo Luo is the way of the inner demon. , so it is difficult to defeat a hundred."
“It is not the Tao itself that determines the strength of the formless power, but them.”
The Holy King uses the law and the formless creation law, so what kind of way is the immortal?
A little understanding flashed in Rabbit's eyes.
asked: “Sir, what kind of Tao have you created?”
"I?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this problem. In other words, there was no Tao created by him in heaven and earth.
Otherwise he will definitely sense it.
“I have no way, at least not in this world.”
“Then how can the immortal be so powerful?” Rabbit’s face was full of doubts.
As a strong man at the peak level of becoming a god, Tu'er's strength and experience are unquestionable, and he can be regarded as a master of the first generation in terms of practice.
But in front of Li Yi, she always felt that she was very stupid, and all her experience and intelligence were useless.
The reason is what is in front of you.
The law of creation without form, the immortal said that he did not create any law.
Isn’t this inconsistent?
"This matter will be difficult to explain for a while. If you ask me to explain it, I will probably have to wait for a long time to sort it out. After all, my cultivation is different from yours. If I want you to understand, it will take a lot of effort."
Li Yi shook his head. He couldn't give a clear answer.
Because Tao cannot be expressed in words, what he can express are things that he has already understood and understood. But I am always the most difficult to understand and understand no matter who I am.
All so-called past understandings are nothing more than a compilation of experience.
He is still cultivating now and is naturally growing in all aspects.
Perhaps when he reaches the end, Li Yi can summarize and explain himself. Before that, everything is unknown.
Now he can only give a tentative answer:
“My power no longer comes entirely from heaven and earth. There is no superior-subordinate relationship between me and heaven and earth. Perhaps I am the one above Wuxiang.”
Not a superior or a subordinate?
Above formlessness?
Rabbi's eyes widened slightly, and her hair turned a little white at this moment, revealing its original color, which showed her shock.
The information revealed in a short sentence is really too huge, as if it tells the end of spiritual practice.
The last time Rabbit was so shocked, it was when he heard about the existence of formlessness.
Afraid of the power of formlessness, and uneasy with its own insignificance.
It turns out that after thousands of years of practice, I am still an ant in the eyes of some beings. The frog jumped out of the well and saw only another, bigger well.
Now there seems to be a well above Wuxiang.
"This...immortal chief, this...I don't know how to say it, I..."
Rabbit hesitated for a long time, as if he was stupid.
Li Yi tapped the other person's forehead, and a coolness swept through his soul, instantly suppressing all the restlessness, and all his emotions returned to calm.
Rabbit no longer imagines the formlessness.
"You just need to know that after reincarnation, I will be the same as in the previous life." Li Yi patted the girl's head, and the confusion in his starry eyes gradually faded away, becoming more clear and transparent.
He nodded several times and said in a crisp and sweet voice: "Yes, yes, yes, the immortal leader will always be unparalleled in the world, no, he will be unparalleled in the world."
In the previous life, no one dared to face the immortal power.
The same should be true in this life.
"I'm not interested in Wushuang, I just want to maintain this daily life. Okay, it's time to eat."
Li Yi shook his head and glanced outside. Li's father had already placed the last dish on the table. Li's mother shouted into the room like she did when she was young: "Yi'er, it's time to eat, come out quickly."
"coming."
Li Yi replied, and then walked out with Rabbit.
Because the Li family did not hold a general meeting this year, or in other words, the family-style New Year's Eve dinner was postponed to the days when visiting relatives.
There are only five people at the table.
Li's father, Li's mother, Tu'er, Li Yi, and the second uncle.
The little old man has never been married in his life and has no direct descendants. During the New Year, he always goes back and forth between Li Yi's house and Li Lili's house.
They are also responsible for the support of the elderly.
The reason for all this is that at least half of the money for Li Yi's father and uncle to go to school came from the second uncle, who was the one who fought against all the opinions and sent the two brothers to continue their studies.
Now the second uncle has built the foundation. Without any external help, he only relies on the spirit gathering array that Li Yi casually set up.
However, the little old man still hangs out in the village after he has achieved cultivation. He is neither showing off nor proud. He just plays the erhu, flute and herds the cattle every day.
Cultivation is just practice and will not affect his original life.
Now he has a goatee, and he has the demeanor of an outsider.
“Li Yi, my great nephew, you are really the pride of my Li family!”
The second uncle didn’t know why he used the words “good nephew” and put his hand on Li Yi’s shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.
Li Yi took a bite of the food and said calmly: "Second Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, you are so disgusting."
"Ahem..." The second uncle glanced at the rabbit sitting on Li Yi's right hand, then he held Li Yi's shoulder and approached, and whispered: "I heard that you have three wives?"
"Then what?"
“Three?!”
Li Yi nodded, but the expected criticism did not come.
The second uncle slapped his thigh and said, "Sure enough, it's different when you go to the Imperial Capital. You'll be assigned a wife. Okay, okay, Li Yi is a big shot now, and he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future."
These words made Li's father choke on his wine and said, "Second uncle, can you please stop teaching this child a bad lesson? What does it mean to be an adult if you have three wives? We became monogamous many years ago, and you have to be single-minded." "Bullshit, I haven't seen those officials who are rich and monogamous." The second uncle shouted: "When I was young, I was the county magistrate who had dozens of mistresses, and I even slept with a few of them. Now it's even more exaggerated. , there are even hundreds of mistresses in one building.”
“I really think I’m your second master and I don’t go online, right?”
Li Yi ate the food calmly without refuting or agreeing.
Because what the second uncle said is indeed true.
Let alone modern times, take the fairy palace under your own governance, which also prohibits three wives and four concubines, or polyandry. But there are always some people who use various methods to avoid it. At best, they hide their beauty in a golden house, while at worst, they are just mistresses.
Long-term and consensual sexual behavior is not illegal in modern times, and it is not illegal in Immortal Palace.
The law cannot control someone who is willing to be a mistress.
Li Yi just wants to take care of his own affairs now.
However, the second master is being old and disrespectful, and it is obvious that he has not practiced enough. I will find time to give some advice later.
Rabbi Tu'er was a little unconvinced and said, "How can Brother Yi compare with those ordinary people!"
In the Li family, calling her Xian Chang was too cliché, so Tuer chose to call her by Li Yi's nickname. Because he is the eldest in the family, he is usually called Brother Yi.
The second uncle’s metaphor made Rabbit very uncomfortable.
Although the immortal's current attitude of wanting everyone is not good, at least he was single-minded from beginning to end in his previous life.
The second uncle said: "You little girl, what is wrong with what I said?"
“It’s just different.”
The quarrel between the two was quickly stopped by Li's mother and the whole family.
The sound of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV filled the New Year's Eve dinner again. Father Li and the second uncle talked about national affairs, the company, and the bright future of his "big Li family". Mother Li and Tu'er talked about cooking and gossip.
Of course it is indispensable to take out the photos of Li Yi when he was a child and reminisce.
“Look at these noses and eyes. They were so cute when they were little. How come they look like this when they grow up? It’s so painful for you kid.”
Mother Li sighed and glanced at Li Yi. He was still playing games at the moment.
Next to him, Father Li drank a little wine and said, "Back then, your father and I knew who your mother was."
Facing the family trial, Li Yi remained unmoved.
Slowly I got used to it.
The New Year’s Eve dinner passed uneventfully.
It was only on the second day of the New Year that Li Yi heard the second uncle’s shrill wail.
Last night, Rabbit secretly shaved off his goatee.
In the following days, Rabbit got along extremely well with his parents, showing a terrifying dominance in pleasing people.
At first, Father Li and Mother Li felt guilty when facing Tu'er, because in their understanding, their son was really nothing. If such a good girl from my mother's family is hooking up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be responsible in the future.
Although today's atmosphere is very open and young people also have fun, it does not represent everyone.
What a pity for such a good little girl.
Later on, it seemed that being a daughter-in-law would be a good idea.
Later, Li’s mother began to look for her household registration book.
The third day of the Lunar New Year, 8pm.
Li’s father talks to Li Yi every day, just like he used to do as a teacher to enlighten his students.
"Li Yi, love is not a feeling, let alone possession. If it is a feeling, then you can easily find the same feeling from Internet celebrities. If it is a kind of possession, then buying **** is also possession. As the second uncle said , those rich and powerful people have many mistresses, in my opinion it is just a long-term prostitution."
Li Yi nodded in agreement. Although he has lived longer than the Chinese civilization, he is not tired of Li Xingguo's teachings.
On the contrary, he will review the past and learn the new.
Because for thousands of years, my father’s teachings from his youth have been influencing me. Li Changsheng's kindness is not without reason, nor is it innate.
"It's good that you can understand. I shouldn't interfere too much with your feelings, but it's really shameful for you to do this. Just listen to Dad's advice and it will be great to catch one of them. I think Yi Guang is good."
Li’s father inadvertently announced the release of “equity”, and he didn’t know how much Tu’er was drugged in it.
Li Yi asked in confusion: "I remember you said Yun Shu was here before?"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Father Li's upright and awe-inspiring demeanor appeared a little embarrassed, "Well, I just suggested that Yi Guang, this kid, is also good-natured. A kid who came out of the mountains, looks so handsome, he may be looking for you in this life. , where can I find it?”
“What about Yunshu?”
“E Yunshu is also good, this and this”
When it comes to Dong Yunshu, Li Xingguo is even more hesitant. He has a very good impression of this child.
In addition to preconceptions, Dong Yunshu was the first daughter-in-law to come to the house.
Finally, Father Li said: "Why don't you decide before you think it through? Anyway, cough cough cough, you are like this anyway, so you have to give me time to think about it."
“Let’s put it aside for now.”
"good."
Father Li left, with confusion written all over his face.
He definitely does not support the idea of three-step love, but no matter what, the girls Li Yi found home are too good. If he were asked to choose one of them as his wife, Li's father would be hesitant.
Discovering this, Li Yi began to "face" this problem. Every time Li's father came to talk, he asked:
“Which one do you think is better, Yun Shu, Tu’er, or Xi’er?”
Li Xingguo is very single-minded when it comes to his views on love, and he has never cheated or had sex, even now that he is rich. But when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, both Father Li and Mother Li are a bit fickle.
After that, throughout the New Year, his parents never asked Li Yi again about who to choose.
It's just that there is some more friction between the husband and wife because of the matter of choosing their daughter-in-law.
At the end of the month, Li Yi returned to school and resumed his daily routine of playing cards, drinking tea and going to the bathhouse.
Since the banyan trees in the community have been quietly replaced by old tree spirit clones, there is an old man in the community who likes to play chess. He is also the only one who can play chess evenly with Li Yi.
For a time, he was regarded as a master by the old men in the community.
In the blink of an eye, a semester passed, during which Dong Yunshu and Wei Xi both came back.
Just because some things were entangled and they needed to travel back and forth between the two places from time to time, Zhu Xue specially built a teleportation formation for the two of them.
The house is lively again.
During the summer vacation, Li Yi went back home, and this time it was Wei Xi who followed him.
Li Yi's parents breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they didn't bring back a new wife-to-be. After a short week of getting along with each other, Father Li and Mother Li fell in love with this noble and well-spoken lady.
Wei Xi perfectly fits the older generation’s imagination of a lady. Being a daughter-in-law is like a nuclear weapon.
During the conversation, Li's father mentioned: "Li Yi, actually I think Wei Xi is also good, you can consider it."
After staying for a week, Li Yi returned to Haojing.
At the beginning of the second semester of his sophomore year, Li Yi spent his time drinking tea and playing cards. Sometimes he felt deeply that such a waste of his student years led him to go back to school and get a perfect score.
In the blink of an eye, in the spring of the next year, he was already in his junior year and would graduate in one year.
Li Yi was lying on the sofa in the living room, watching videos and engaging in meaningless entertainment as usual.
Suddenly he saw a piece of news.
【The gods of the Western Regions rule the world, the world is peaceful, and the prosperous age is worry-free. 】
Shenzhou Self-Media has had a very high evaluation of the Western Regions in recent times.
Li Yi touched his chin and guessed: "Is there a risk of losing one's self with the power of the previous words?"
When he checked, he found nothing unusual. Panhu has the aura of learning the method, but it is definitely not to the point of becoming his own incarnation.
No form is not that fragile.
Maybe only a little bit.
Dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the door, and an old man with a fairy-like manner walked in.
The old tree spirit said straight to the point: "Fellow Taoist, there is something strange about Wu Xiang over there in the Western Region. His aura is not right, and there is your shadow."
“He may be stealing your power through the Law of Time.”
The human part of the protagonist is endowed by the education system of modern society and his father, and is the source of the behavioral logic in the world of immortality.
Many protagonists who travel through time as modern people are like shooting arrows first but not drawing the target. He is a modern person, so he will do whatever he wants, and I am no exception.
Now it’s time to draw the target (laughs)
