Chapter 294 Fighting within the body
The battle with Tai Xuecheng was far more difficult than Li Qi imagined.
He knew Li Qi very well, much more than Li Qi thought he knew.
If the other party could use all his strength, Li Qi might not be able to hold on for even one second.
Li Qi was able to achieve the current results because it was difficult for the opponent to exert additional influence through the chaotic light.
Even the Taixue Cheng has not tried other means.
The opponent's hands are tied, and such a confrontation is not a fair fight at all.
As the initiator of this fight, Taixue Cheng was not only violently counterattacked by Chaos Zhouguang before he started, but also lost 50% of his 100% cultivation level.
Moreover, he actively manipulates the demonic energy, and must overcome the influence of Chaos Zhouguang, and suppress the backlash of the egg shell around Li Qi. Half the result with twice the result, if 100% of the strength is used, at most 50% can be implemented, and all the rest is wasted. Along the way, resistance backfired.
Li Qi felt that the opponent must have other tricks, but he didn't know why he had to use the devil's energy to fight.
This is like a war between two armies. One side needs to travel across mountains and rivers, and cross an ocean. One hundred men are sent, and ninety-five of them will die on the way. One hundred kilograms of food and grass are taken out, and ninety-five kilograms will be eaten on the way.
However, on the other side, I was waiting for work, with 100% of my strength fully exerted, and my advantage was extremely huge.
Normally, no one would choose such a brutal head-on confrontation. Even if they did, they would just be asking for trouble.
But Tai Xuecheng just did this because he was strong enough, so strong that even with only half of his strength, he could crush Li Qi.
Sixth grade, even if you are tied up and only use half of your strength to control the devil's energy to fight against him, it is not that easy to deal with.
Such as now.
If you look at what you do in the Holy Flame Realm from the perspective of witchcraft, some of it violates the rules of witchcraft.
Therefore, the other party used demonic energy to transform into humane Li Qi, and asked Li Qi if he agreed with humaneness.
There is no need to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, it doesn’t matter.
People can deceive others, but they cannot deceive themselves.
As long as Li Qi's Dao mind is shaken by this question, then the 'Dao' he uses to restrain the countless strands of Qi in his body will fall into conflict with each other.
His personal world will be plunged into a dispute between humans and witches.
Tai Xuecheng knew his way too well, and he could see Li Qi's heels clearly, so he went straight to the root cause, and wanted to get Li Qi into a fight in the way with a shout of demonic energy. .
Human, or witch?
Or... there's an easier way.
Fall into the devil's path.
As long as he enters the devil's path, these disputes will no longer have any effect on him.
The devil can do as he pleases, and there is no need to care about these rules.
This is also the most common reason for falling into the devil's path, that is, falling into the conflict of Tao, and finally giving up and choosing the devil's path, so that all disputes can be resolved.
This is also the purpose of Tai Xuecheng!
After Li Qi fell into the devil's path, it was natural for him to take action.
Dangerous!
He was so passive after being spied on!
Li Qi was asked by this voice and fell into deep thought again.
His current path is mainly based on witchcraft, combined with some humane methods, which has been used to refine Guangyang and become the basis of his cultivation.
Cultivation is the qi accumulated in the small world of the human body in the body, and Tao is the ultimate rule that supports the movement of these qi.
If Tao is in chaos, Qi will also be in chaos, and cultivation will conflict on its own, with disastrous consequences.
If you can't find a solution, the easiest way is to fall into the devil's path and use the devil's path to control these qi.
But using the magic way is not as simple as saying it. It means that you recognize the values of the magic way, because the values itself are also the embodiment of the magic way. If you don't recognize the magic way, then you can't use it even if you want to.
The Tao is not a method.
Technique is the method, and Tao is the rules that you recognize and practice from the inside out. It is not something that can be changed at will.
That's why it's troublesome.
After being shouted at, Li Qi fell into silence.
people? witch?
From a humanistic point of view, it is perfectly natural to plunder these worlds outside the territory. People need wood for fire and cooking, so do they still need to ask when going out to chop wood? No one will think this is wrong.
If there are no resources, go and get them. Mineral veins are born underground and must be used. When forests grow, they must be cut down for firewood or kept to protect against wind and sand. Rivers must be used to build water conservancy projects. Of course, animals and plants must be cultivated if they are useful. Ignore what is useless and eliminate what is harmful.
In all things, 'people' are the highest priority. If protection is mentioned, it must be because protection is more beneficial to people. In essence, it is to safeguard the interests of people, even if it is nature.
Of course it is right for the river to flow naturally, but if water conservancy is built on it, what is the problem? Are you saying that's unnatural? Nature also has to change for people!
But from a witch's point of view, one should only take what is needed. People and all other things are part of nature.
As I said before, this nature is not things like flowers, plants and trees, but all the positions of all things in the world, and the place where all things in this universe should be.
The stability of the entire environment must be maintained. Everything in the world has its own position. You can change your position, but you cannot destroy a certain position, because that will cause the already stable world to change again.
The world was a mess in the beginning, and only the Tao remained unchanged. After such a long time, everything in the world has been perfected under the guidance of the Tao, just like building blocks that have been built.
Parts can be replaced, but there's no need to knock the whole thing over as that would just lead to chaos all over again.
What witches maintain is the stability of the entire world, and what they pursue is perfect eternity.
Heaven, earth, humans, gods, and ghosts all perform their duties and are in their own place. The Tao is the destiny, and all things are in their own right.
A person or other life can change its own state and promote itself to another position, but the position itself cannot be changed. The building block itself is perfect, and any modification to it is destroying it.
These represent two completely different values, and Li Qi's approach in the Holy Flame Realm is to jump between them.
Just like his current path.
How compatible?
Li Qi fell into deep thought and told the answer he had come up with when refining Guangyang:
"The way of Heaven is to give birth to all things. They grow in spring and summer. They decay in autumn and winter. When they are strong, their strength is strong. When they are old, their strength declines. They compete in strength. They compete with each other for supremacy. They have different energy but have the same effect. This is why Heaven makes them grow old."
"The way of man governs all things, plowing in spring and working in summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, cutting down trees and cutting through mountains, smelting metals, formulating rituals, distinguishing between elder and young, doing different things but achieving the same result, these are all the reasons why man is formed."
"What God can do, man cannot; what man can do, God cannot do."
Li Qi said this.
Hearing this, the expression of Tai Xuecheng outside changed.
Li Qi is trying to explain the way of heaven and the way of man, and then trying to find his own place in them!
He is only at the eighth level! How dare he?
If you make a mistake, your cultivation will collapse immediately, and the Taoist struggle will reach an irreversible level!
However, despite the unexpected situation, Tai Xuecheng quickly calmed down.
This is actually in line with Tai Xuecheng's arrangement. If what Li Qi does fails, then the devil's path will almost be his only way out.
He also understood what Li Qi said.
Li Qi's meaning is very simple,
The way of heaven, that is, the law of nature, lies in selection, which is achieved through the transformation of strong and weak or the competition between the weak and the strong. Through natural selection, everything will naturally become perfect.
Trees can become extinct, but without trees, there must be other producers. The important thing is the 'Tao' behind it, not the trees themselves, which are just appearances.
Heaven has already arranged perfect positions through the laws of nature. All the positions have been laid out. It just depends on who can sit in the right position.
As for who gets to sit, it will naturally be chosen through competition between the weak and the strong.
The way of man lies in the legal system, which stipulates standards through etiquette and law. Etiquette is the upper limit of morality, and law is the lower limit of morality. It does not pass through natural screening, but artificial screening, and the desired perfection is achieved through human arrangement.
The arrangement of heaven is the perfection of heaven, which is fair to all things in the world.
The arrangement of people is the perfection of people. Talents do not want to be fair to other things.
This is what Li Qigang meant.
If Tai Xuecheng were to comment, he would say that Li Qi was completely nonsense and what he said was simply treason!
However, it's not for him to judge.
Li Qi said this to the demon.
Essentially, it was Li Qi who had to overcome his own doubts.
If Li Qi wants to prove that he is right, he must convince himself, otherwise the demon will bite the body, the Taoist heart will collapse, and the small world of the human body will fall into a Taoist struggle.
Therefore, after Tai Xuecheng was shocked, he immediately calmed down.
Now that Li Qi has started trying to crack the devil's energy, he can't stop.
Then, he controlled the devil's energy and used the next method on Li Qi.
Li Qi's whole body was soaked with sweat, but he didn't even notice it.
The brain is running rapidly, constantly thinking about one's own "Tao", the "Tao" that can not be eroded by the words of evil thoughts.
However, before he could get the answer, he saw that in the chaotic light of the universe, the demonic energy was spinning again, turning into the second Li Qi.
This demon Li Qi started preaching again and asked questions:
"If the legal system is complete, what is right for the public and what is not for the public is wrong, if you follow the law, you will be rewarded, and if you violate the law, you will be punished. If the rewards and punishments are strict, and people know the causes of misfortunes and blessings, they will not thank God or resent God. The way of heaven will be just passers-by. Only the laws of nature work.”
"When the legal system is partially destroyed, rewards fail to do good, and punishment fails to do evil, people tend to doubt the relationship between heaven and humanity."
"The legal system is completely destroyed, right and wrong are reversed, traitors are rewarded, and upright people are punished. Justice cannot control the tyranny, and punishment cannot punish evil. People lose their self-confidence, and they can only place their fate on heaven."
"whether?"
This question immediately made Li Qi stunned. The thoughts he had previously tried to sort out were completely shattered by this question.
This is not questioning Li Qi, but simply raising a question.
Since Li Qi proposed the position of man and heaven, the inner demon at this moment asked: Is this person's position of man and heaven right now? This is what you think of the position of man and heaven, right?
The inner demon seemed to know what Li Qi's way was, and directly put forward his point of view.
In fact, this is what Li Qi thought.
When he distinguished the positions of humans and heaven, he held this view and used this understanding to balance the differences between humans and witches.
Wus believe that they are the balance between heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts, but humans scorn this view.
However, before Li Qi could continue to think, the demon was eloquent again and began to preach!
"Belief without words is the way of heaven. Wu Xian of Shang Dynasty, Shi Zhi of Zhou Dynasty. Those who teach are all their fathers, and those who receive them are all their sons. They always rely on their father, so that their sons will have the best natural ability." , people; human heart, power. Establish the way of heaven to determine people."
"The principles of dividing heaven and the power of heaven are all for human use. Therefore, being sincere is the way of heaven; being sincere is the way of man!"
"The laws of heaven are as they are, and human affairs are natural. They are completely natural, true and without falsehood. If you can calmly follow the middle way without thinking about it, then it is also the way of heaven——"
Li Qi, who was the incarnation of the devil, kept talking, one sentence after another, but there were two main arguments.
He was supplementing the previous content on the relationship between heaven and man, and it was very detailed.
It is said that it is a demon, but in fact it is Taixue Cheng who is preaching.
He classified the relationship between man and nature into 'reason' and 'momentum'
"Li" refers to the law of development of things, and "shi" refers to the objective trend of the development of things.
Both are inherent properties of objective things. Things "must have their existence in them", "reason" exists and "potential" arises.
All things and all changes are inseparable from "reason" and "potential".
The rotation period of the changes in the sky, earth, and stars can be measured, and the length of day and night can be determined, all because of the existence of "reason."
The sky is high but never falls, and it never stops moving. It has its own trend. This is the ‘trend of the movement of heaven’.
Then, he divided the understanding of things into "reasonableness" and "reasonable ignorance".
"Li Ming" means that when people understand and master the objective laws, they can conquer nature and not leave everything to the way of heaven.
"Ignorance of reason" means that people do not understand objective laws, do not believe in themselves, attribute everything to the control of "Heaven", and believe in destiny.
The way of witchcraft is the ignorance of reason.
Humanity is naturally rational.
In reality, it is the law and etiquette of humanity, which is the collection and embodiment of humanity. Law can suppress people's arrogance, and etiquette can resist people's cowardice.
The law makes violent people disciplined, and etiquette makes cowardly people brave. Not everyone can understand the original meaning of "Tao", so these two things must be used to regulate everyone, so that humanity can spread throughout the world.
Therefore, Li Dao is willing to follow the way of humanity, because the way of humanity can help Li Dao explore the way of heaven, instead of blindly letting Li Dao succumb to the way of heaven.
Under the witchcraft, Li Dao can only become the obeyer of the way of heaven, rather than the explorer.
It was for this reason that the ancient human race split into the witch path and the human path.
The more he listened to the demon's sermon, the more Li Qi broke into a cold sweat.
Because he cannot refute these words, these theories are all recognized by him, and he cannot go against his own Taoist conscience and say they are wrong.
even! These principles he recognized have been implemented in the Holy Flame Realm.
However, these things are contrary to his Taoism!
His Dao foundation is the witchcraft he has been studying for a long time, but he cannot refute the humane methods mixed in.
Li Qi's small world began to become chaotic because of this!
