Chapter 502: The Lord of the Banquet
Li Yi sensed it with his front legs, and the old tree spirit came with his back legs.
This is not a coincidence, but the other party noticed that he was exploring the spiritual thoughts, and also followed the spiritual thoughts.
This is Wuxiang, and the difference from others is also etiquette. Why don’t you treat Wuxiang like a child? Rabbit et al. Even those sitting next to him may not be able to detect the change in Li Yi's aura, but the old tree spirit sitting downstairs playing chess can detect it immediately.
And in terms of perception, the old tree spirit is obviously better than the current Li Yi.
The way of nature, the perception of all things now.
“Perhaps, everything is uncertain.”
Li Yi nodded and said: "According to my research during this period, the power of time can change time, stop time, and even place itself in the cause and effect of the past. But in the final analysis, the greatest use lies in the first sentence of the nine-character mantra. .”
“One of the nine preceding characters, what we know in the past, what we have reached in the past.”
The old tree spirit read out one of the nine-character mantra.
He has also read the Nine-Character Mantra, and when he recalled the first words, his eyes could not help but become a little more dignified.
He has not comprehended any of the Nine-Character Mantra. The part that belongs to him does not need to be comprehended, and the part that does not belong to him cannot be learned, lest it damage his own Taoist mind.
But he can read it and understand its meaning.
The nine forms of heaven and earth are transformed into the nine-character mantra, and the formlessness of years represents the first character.
Manipulation of time and omniscience of the past.
It’s hard not to be wary of such tactics.
There is no need for Li Yiming to say or explain. The old tree spirit relied on his own Taoism and made the following judgments about time and space:
"Theoretically, the Wuxiang of Time can control the time of the world at will, but due to cause and effect, I am afraid that this Wuxiang cannot change the past, let alone the future. The Wuxiang of Time is not invincible, but his methods are also Not to be underestimated.”
"Now he plans to take the power of fellow Taoist from the past, and he will also know all the flaws in fellow Taoist's fate. We will be in a very bad situation by then. Logically speaking, the process of using the power of time to steal power should not be leaked, or he is not afraid of us taking action at this time. Either there’s another reason, or there’s something wrong with him.”
“Space has been the most mysterious since ancient times. Perhaps their confidence comes from the Spaceless One. But why increase unnecessary risks? Is there another plan, or is this a trap?”
The old tree spirit began to analyze on his own. For the first time, he regarded strong men of the same level as opponents, and there were two at once.
Although it is a 2 vs. 2 situation, there seems to be a Taoist priest hidden in the secret.
This makes the situation complicated and confusing, and it is very likely that life or death will be decided in an instant.
He walked back and forth several times, but Li Yi had already raised his phone again from the moment he entered the door and started analyzing.
He respects his friends’ concerns and understands their caution. So Li Yi listened without using his ears, and then looked at the screen with his eyes.
There is respect, but not much.
"It's difficult. If it doesn't move, it's a disaster. If it moves, it's difficult to protect. It's a trap. It was too easy for Taoist friends to get the power of time before. It was definitely a trap set by some existence. Maybe the two Wu Xiang were set up by Tao Zun to plan Driving the tiger to devour the wolf?”
The old tree spirit frowned and revealed the truth intentionally or unintentionally.
He has been practicing Buddhism for a hundred thousand years and has learned the true meaning of the Tao. Looking at the world's strategies, there are actually only two types in the end.
Significance and deception.
The former uses the general trend to overwhelm others, and pays attention to taking steps step by step to expand its own advantages and weaken the opponent's strength.
The latter uses clever tricks to lure the opponent to reveal their weaknesses, and then delivers a fatal blow.
In such a situation, the old tree spirit's previous plan would have been to hide for tens of thousands of years, or if that didn't work, it would have been 100,000 years, or even hundreds of thousands of years.
His lifespan is very long and almost unlimited.
But the old tree spirit had the opposite reaction.
His expression was slightly cold, and he said firmly: "Fellow Taoist, let's go to the Western Regions together and ignore his plots and use our strength to defeat them."
Ding-ding-dong!
The crisp sound of the game suddenly stopped. Li Yi paused the game and said with some surprise: "This is not like your style."
"The situation is forcing me to fight, but I am not afraid of it." The old tree spirit shook his head and said: "Besides, fellow Taoist, do you think we still have a chance to retreat now? I can indeed hide for hundreds of thousands of years, but fellow Taoist Obviously not."
"It would be too ruthless to let you fight one against three. We are destined to meet each other after all. How many people have there been between you and me in the past?"
There is no need to see each other, and this has been the case throughout the ages. I heard that Li Yi talked about Feng Wa, but that was an abnormal situation, and the two were fighting to the death.
“Besides, how can the eggs be completed under the whole nest? If you die, it might be my turn.”
Even if everything is based on his own safety, the old tree spirit can't find a reason to retreat. The cause and effect has been formed, and the old tree spirit will not rely on the enemy's "not to hit himself".
"If you hadn't said the last sentence, I might have been moved." Li Yi joked with a smile. Such a relaxed and content attitude made Laoshu think carefully.
Inexplicably, I felt a little relieved.
“Do you have a solution, fellow Taoist?”
Otherwise why are you so relaxed and contented?
Li Yidao: "Just wait and see what happens."
It seems that Li Changsheng is fully confident, and may have some tricks that are difficult to tell.
The old tree spirit understood this. After all, it was impossible to hand over all of Lao Di even to his close relatives.
"Can."
The old tree spirit thought for a moment, then turned and left, disappearing the moment he stepped out of the door.
This is just one of his thousands of incarnations.
Have only ordinary Jindan cultivation, and can explode Nascent Soul level power when necessary. This kind of incarnation can be found throughout China, and the body far away in the world of creation can create hundreds or even thousands of them in an instant.
They are just some small means and are of no use against the Supreme Being.
A month has passed and it’s Friday.
Li Yi came out of the chess and card room. After getting along with them for nearly three years, it is now difficult for him to win big money from them. Although these old men still refused to admit defeat, the bets had returned to normal levels, with the maximum being no more than one dollar.
At the end of the day, you can only win 70 or 80 yuan at most.
Li Yi is not greedy if there is too much, and he does not dislike too much if there is too little.
Passing by the big tree in the center of the old community, an old man with an immortal spirit was sitting in front of the chessboard. He raised his head and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, do you have any countermeasures against the Wu Xiang in the Western Regions?"
“Just wait and see what happens.”
…”
Another month later, Li Yi passed by again. This time he came back from the bathhouse.
The old tree spirit also asked: "Friend Li, if you wait too long, things will change."
“Just wait and see what happens.”
——————————
In the third month, the old tree spirit came to visit again.
He waved his hand and displayed a picture in front of Li Yi. In the picture, there were high-rise buildings and busy traffic, a sparse and ordinary modern urban scene. From the style of some buildings and decorations on the roadside, you can tell that they are from the Western Region.
Most of the people walking on the streets have three-dimensional facial features, similar to those on the border of the Shenzhou Plateau. As the saying goes, they are called foreigners.
But in Li Yi's very long-term cognition, this title seems to have existed in the corner of the Internet or some kind of history extracurricular book when he was in school. Because China is so big, with so many ethnic groups and cultures.
Hair and blue eyes were foreigners a few hundred years ago, but not two hundred years ago. The name was blurred a hundred years ago, and now very few people say it.
But discrimination and insult are never absent, replaced by barbarians.
Just like scolding the Liuli Islands devils, scolding the Luzon monkeys, scolding Lord Jing of Zhou, scolding the barbarians of Qin...
Li Yi often sees these words when surfing the Internet.
"It's pretty neat." Li Yi commented, "It seems that the outside is not as dire as the official propaganda. If you want people not to run away, you have to publicize that there are monsters outside, so the Western Region often scolds me. Probably because I don't want everyone to go there. Running to the East is the common denominator in the world."
Li Yi took a look from a distance at home and saw that the Western Regions were also using the same words to describe China, but this time it was Li Changsheng who was scolded. None of the above are official actions, but they are all tacitly approved.
“Fellow Taoist, I am talking about heaven.”
In order to prevent Li Yi from being distracted, the old tree spirit locked his perspective to the sky. A majestic hall was suspended above the clouds.
If it was more than ten years ago, this scene would have set off global media. Now it is equally shocking, but it is no longer such a big sensation.
A cave of incense.
Li Yi saw the true meaning at a glance, and continued to delve deeper. He could see Panhu sitting on the incense throne, with jade cubes constantly flowing back and forth in front of him.
And there seemed to be thousands of eyes and hands flicking the contents of the jade slip.
“Brother Li, this is your method.”
The old tree spirit is so convinced.
Because he had seen Li Changsheng use it. One hundred years after the human race entered Tianzhou, Li Changsheng had been using it when he was in charge of the Immortal Palace.
Li Yi nodded and said, "It's my magical power."
Thousands of thoughts and thousands of hearts. One heart can have millions of thoughts. Thousands of hearts can measure the people of the world.
This is the most basic means for Li Changsheng to rule the world. At first, he was only responsible for decision-making. Later, he took over all the processes, and then he was responsible for everything except the specific implementation.
On Asgard there is only command, and all power is truly one.
These are not things worth bragging about. Li Changsheng just wanted to kill fewer people at that time. After all, many people grew up watching him.
The old tree spirit warned: "Fellow Taoist, this method is simply the path to enlightenment with incense. An incense **** who grazes faith is not scary. What is scary is an incense **** that can satisfy believers."
If Li Changsheng wanted to follow the path of incense in his previous life, it would be very possible to reach Wuxiang in one step and complete the great deeds that the legendary Buddha head could not accomplish.
Incense is poisonous, but its essence is extremely high, which is equivalent to abandoning the way of heaven and establishing a mind of heaven.
The God of Incense itself represents a part of the human heart, and when this so-called part reaches a certain number, there will be an effect of "human will prevails over heaven".
In the previous life, there were thousands of races in the world of immortality, scattered in various small worlds in the cave world, or somewhere in the spiritual mountains and swamps. As long as it is almost impossible to unify the faith, this world now belongs to the human race.
Everything you see is human.
“Fellow Taoist, if you wait any longer, I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop me!”
The old tree spirit warned: "It's not that I am impatient. If we don't take action at this time, then you and I can only hide in the world of creation for ten thousand years."
“Just wait and see what happens.”
Li Yi's answer was as usual. Seeing that the old tree spirit seemed to be planning to pack his bags, he comforted him again: "Even if Panhu learned all the skills in my previous life, he still can't compare with me."
“He who learns from me will prosper, and he who imitates me will die.”
The old tree spirit’s mouth opened slightly, and he could read an undoubted confidence in Li Yi’s calm tone.
Although I don’t know where the other party’s inexplicable self-confidence comes from, it’s obvious that he can’t be persuaded.
"...Well, since fellow Taoist is so confident, let me prepare a way out. I dug a hole in your hometown, and your family can get through it and reach the world of creation."
Before leaving, the old tree spirit pulled out an arm. The moment the arm was separated from the body, it turned into branches and leaves and disappeared after falling to the ground.
At a level that ordinary people cannot perceive, a space passage spanning thousands of kilometers is formed in an instant almost instantly.
The end point is creation, and one entrance is in the tree hole downstairs, and the other is in the backyard of Li Yi's hometown.
Li Yi was playing with his mobile phone and waving his hands to show that he understood.
Everyone is a powerful practitioner, and the old tree spirit is even more formless. We all understand the truth, and each has his or her own ideas and pride.
The old tree spirit would not force Li Yi even if he could not be persuaded. On the contrary, Li Yi would not force the old tree spirit to really lie down.
The old tree spirit left and sat in front of the banyan tree downstairs. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
He was the one who was lying flat originally, so why did he feel that Li Changsheng was lying more flat than him in this life?
"Why."
“Why are you sighing, senior?”
A voice came, and a man in formal clothes and leather shoes, who looked like a successful person in society, came over and bent down deeply with his hands in hand.
“Junior Mara, pay homage to my senior.”
Recently, a Wuxiang came to the community. Mara wanted to visit him for a long time, but he could never find a reason. During this period, some monks from the Immortal Sect also visited the old tree, but they basically ignored him.
Such a comparison, Mo Luo suddenly felt that Li Changsheng was really approachable. I could chat with everyone, and even took a bath in the same pool as myself.
He is a little proud to say the least.
The old tree spirit glanced at Mo Luo without interest. Just as he was about to raise his hand to wave the opponent away, he suddenly noticed the breath of Mo Luo, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He asked: "Is what you practice is about inner demons?"
Mara felt happy and quickly replied: "To tell you what the senior said, the junior is indeed a cultivator of inner demons."
The Holy King's cultivation and the inner demon's method can indeed be said to be at the pinnacle.
The old tree spirit asked: "How is your practice now?"
“It has been many years since I have made any progress.” Mara answered truthfully.
His path has been stagnant for a long time. Sometimes he despairs that the inner demons have come to an end. This is a narrow and short road.
"The way of the inner demon is attached to the divine soul. Maybe you can change it and develop towards the divine soul. There is just a technique here that is suitable for you."
As he spoke, the old tree spirit transformed a piece of tree bark with his backhand. Golden patterns were engraved on it, and a touch of Buddha nature emerged from it.
“This is the ancient Buddha’s Dharma, the Prajna Sutra, and it is said to have been created by the Buddha’s head.”
“Hiss!”
Mo Luo subconsciously stretched out his hand, but the old tree spirit did not reject the "Prajna Spiritual Sutra" and asked the other party to place a hand on it. He could take it with just a little force.
He changed his voice and said: "Everything in the world has cause and effect. If you want to, you need to go to the Western Regions."
The confusion in Mo Luo's eyes suddenly became clearer. He quickly let go of his hand, took two steps back and asked, "Senior, can you tell me first?"
"nature."
The old tree spirit told the other party about the struggle between the Western Region and Wu Xiang. What he always told others was that he was willing and was not so depressed that he needed to harm a little holy king.
"Do you understand this? I need you to use your inner demons to disrupt Wuxiang's incense collection in the Western Region. I will give you three leaves to save your life."
To disturb a Wuxiang?
Mara's scalp suddenly became numb. How could he dare to get involved in the fight between Wuxiang?
“Senior, juniors know that they are like mayflies in the sky and the earth, they dare not interfere, they dare not interfere…”
"What a pity." The old tree spirit put away the Prajna Sutra. Mara's eyes almost jumped out of his head when he looked at it, but he still resisted his greed.
“Li Changsheng is unwilling to take action in advance, and I am even less likely to take risks myself.”
Mo Luo, who was about to leave, suddenly raised his head. The words Li Changsheng fell into his ears, completely overwhelming the last trace of reason in his heart.
There are only three words left in my mind: Eat dinner.
There is still a safe place for him, and there may still be great danger to his life, but the benefits are enough for him to take the risk.
Because of Li Changsheng.
His voice was a little trembling, whether it was excitement or other emotions: "Senior, the guy upstairs and you plan to deal with the Great Sage of the Western Regions."
"nature."
The old tree spirit nodded, and suddenly saw Mara, who had been resisting just now, suddenly stand up straight, his expression becoming solemn and righteous.
“The Western Region is unruly and the saints are unkind! I am willing to be your two pawns!”
