Wandao long distance

Wu Xian looked up at Li Qi, then clapped his hands and said, "Boys, that's all for today. Go back and do your homework."

Those young gentlemen all looked at Li Qi, seeming a little unhappy.

Even for them, listening to the teachings of the Witch God is a rare opportunity. Some people signed up decades ago. After all, no matter how idle the Witch God is, time flies very fast for him, and hundreds of thousands of years may have passed in the blink of an eye. It is a great luck to be able to sit in front of the Witch God's lectures.

Li Qi also felt a little uneasy. When he was young, if there was a witch god preaching, and someone suddenly appeared and interrupted the sermon, Li Qi would definitely slap him in the face in his heart.

Of course, that was only in my heart. I could guess with my toes that the person who came to disturb the witch god was most likely not a good person.

Li Qi waved his hand: "I'll wait for a while, you guys chat, I'll find something to do around here."

"Okay." Wu Xian nodded and sat back down.

Li Qi stepped aside and came to Annan, which was about 100 to 200 million miles away from Wushen Mountain.

Anyway, this distance can be crossed in just one step.

On a hill here, Li Qi waited quietly, waiting for the sermon to end.

It will take about a month, right? It depends on their progress.

For the first and second ranks, a month passed in the blink of an eye, which was really nothing.

Li Qi came to the top of the mountain, where there was a beautiful forest nearby.

It was dawn now, and the light was getting brighter and brighter. The trees and bushes, as well as the various creatures running on the field, were all visible in the mist, becoming clearer and clearer.

The pearly gray mist in the early morning gradually dissipated, but some of it remained drifting in the air, and the light in the sky refracted in it in a Tyndall effect, as if an invisible hand was constantly and silently spinning fine threads, hanging these threads, passing them back and forth between the mist, and finally forming a beautiful curtain of light.

In this place called Wushen Mountain, the source of heaven and earth is strong, the air is filled with the charm of Taoism, and even the scenery seems to be filtered. This is a scene that can never be seen outside the domain.

Ordinary people probably can't see anything special, but in the eyes of people like Li Qi, the "amount of information" of the world's scenery is obviously much higher.

The pixels are higher than those outside the domain, the clarity and filters are not at the same level, and the color hiding level is also different.

Li Qi was admiring the beautiful scenery when suddenly he saw a couple.

They were a mortal couple, probably ordinary people living in the Wushen Mountain area.

Just like there are mortals in Chang'an, there are of course mortals and mortal things in Wushen Mountain. This is normal. After all... no matter where you are, mortals are the majority.

Unless special screening is carried out to prevent mortals from entering, mortals will always occupy the majority.

There are simply too many mortals, and they reproduce quickly, so they can easily become the dominant force in the local environment.

Li Qi saw that the mortal couple was sleeping on their backs in the sun.

The husband was obviously middle-aged, had gained considerable weight, had lost his attractiveness, and snored loudly.

My wife is about the same age, not pretty, a little short, and has dark skin.

They slept together, which suddenly touched Li Qi's heart.

Li Qi remembered that when he was at the eighth level, he had also seen these mortal couples. At that time, Li Qi, who was immersed in his relationship with Shen Shuibi, was puzzled by these people and couldn't understand why they were together. At the same time, he took it for granted that there was no real love between these mortals.

It's easy to imagine, right? Of course, ordinary people like beautiful things, so how can ugly couples stay together? When describing love, everyone likes to write about the mutual admiration between handsome men and beautiful women. This description also looks beautiful. Kissing the lips of a beautiful girl is always more exciting than kissing the lips of a black tank.

But now Li Qi couldn't help but smile.

What a naive idea this is.

Only foolish and naive young people would think that a person must be handsome, gentle, elegant, and charming in order to love others, to be loved by others, and to get married happily.

That's not the case. Even if you are very ordinary or even inferior, you can still love and be loved.

That kind of love is just the kind that excites and drives people to act blindly at first. That kind of so-called love is just the temporary frenzy of young people.

In addition, there are precious feelings in the world that can only be experienced after both parties have matured after living together for a considerable period of time. This kind of feeling often not only absorbs nourishment and thrives under favorable conditions, but also stands the test in harsh environments that can easily cause it to deteriorate and be completely destroyed.

Li Qi looked at the couple sleeping and couldn't help but sigh.

So he stood and watched for a while, taking note of the other person as part of the scenery.

After they woke up, Li Qi walked up to them and said, "I passed by here and saw the virtuous couple sleeping here, blending into the scenery. I couldn't help but draw a picture, but I thought it would be a shame to keep it for myself, so I wanted to give it to you."

After saying that, Li Qi took out his own paintings. The landscape in them was lifelike, and the couple was also in them.

The couple was immediately delighted and said to Li Qi with gratitude: "We have long wanted to ask a painter to paint our portraits, but unfortunately we are short of money. Today we met you and you helped us realize our dream. Please come to my house and treat you well."

Li Qi did not refuse and went to the other party's home together.

They immediately took the eggs, killed the chicken, opened the rice jar and salt jar, and prepared to cook food for Li Qi.

Li Qi finished his meal, left the portrait here, and then left.

Later, one year, an epidemic spread in Annan. The situation was particularly severe in Li and Su states where the couple lived. Three or four out of ten people died. The wizards said that this was because a plague ghost had been born and they could not deal with it.

When the epidemic spread to the couple's home, they found that vines had grown on the scroll at some point, and soon two gourds grew from the vines. They gradually grew larger, as big as a jar holding two dou of wine.

They used a knife to dig out the contents of the gourd and found it was filled with medicine. They ate the medicine and their illnesses were immediately cured. They gave it to others as they could not finish the medicine in the gourd. When the king heard about it, he bought the gourd with gold and official positions, and their descendants also received titles. The wizards enshrined this thing in the king's palace.

------------

As for Li Qi, more than a month later, he had returned to Wushen Mountain, and the young masters also dispersed.

Li Qi came to Wu Xian's side and said, "Wu Shen, I will take the Desire Realm."

"This is not something that can be taken casually." Wu Xian said, "Why do you want to take the Desire Realm?" "I'm trying to find a way to fight against the devil, and the Desire Realm is necessary for this." Li Qi replied.

Wu Xian chuckled: "This answer is not very clever. The Wu Dao has no intention of fighting against the Demon Dao, and there is no need to do so."

Li Qi certainly understood this, and he could even almost expect Wu Xian to answer like this.

Among the first-grade masters, except for the demon who Li Qi could not guess, and the too pure Haotian, the other first-grade masters that Li Qi had seen so far all had one common characteristic in his opinion.

That is, they don’t care about interests or life, nor do they have any personal grudges. They are even too lazy to conflict with others.

They just do their own thing and want to accomplish their own goals, that's all.

However, when they are doing their own things and completing their own goals, they are likely to run into other First Ranks, and when no one is willing to give way, they will fight and get into a 'dispute over the Dao'.

But this kind of struggle, in essence, does not involve any personal hatred. Perhaps the relationship between these first-rank officials who impose sanctions on each other is still good, but they still have to fight for life and death.

Similarly, in the absence of any disputes, very few Yipin would choose to cause trouble for others. They are so busy with their own things that they don't have the time to cause trouble.

Therefore, Wu Xian had neither hatred nor hostility towards Tianmo. Without the dispute between the Dao and Tao, he could not be persuaded by Li Qi, and Li Qi could not shake Yipin's decision.

"So, it's not a confrontation between witchcraft and magic, but my personal confrontation with the devil. The Desire Realm itself was cultivated from me. It should not be unreasonable for me to take it back." Li Qi said.

Wu Xian shook his head: "You once used the Third Rank to cultivate an organization called Qidian. So, was Qidian established by these Third Rank?"

This is a very pointed question.

There is no doubt that those third-rank officials made great efforts in the establishment of Qidian. It can even be said that they worked hard. The actions, specific operations, and even the creation and closure of many possibilities of Qidian were all done by them.

For some of them, Qidian is their life’s work.

But if we look at it from Li Qi's perspective, all this does not seem so logical, because... just like a child, they are actually acting as a 'nanny', but the reason for the child's birth and the environment in which he grows up are actually created by Li Qi.

Li Qi just used their hands to create the future he wanted.

What Wu Xian said was that the Desire Realm was just something he seized by using Li Qi's hand, so it was not a good idea to use this reason to leave the Desire Realm.

So Li Qi could only sigh: "Wu Shen, just tell me, what use is it to you to control the Desire Realm? Is there anything you can do for it?"

"Of course." Wu Xian said, "Otherwise, what would I do with the Desire Realm?"

After saying this, Wu Xian didn't seem to intend to hide it from Li Qi, but simply opened his hands, and then the Desire Realm appeared from his palms.

At this moment, Li Qi's consciousness seemed to be pulled away.

He saw the tiny desire realm in the palm of his hand, where countless living beings were busy and busy.

What Li Qi saw was an arena, two major opponents in the universe, two "viewpoints", one material and one spiritual, dressed in disguise, preparing for a desperate battle.

The desire world and the material world are fighting each other to the death in some kind of semi-awakened spiritual world.

In the cities, villages, worlds and even planets of the desire realm, in countless forests, oceans, outer space, even in the clouds of gas giants, and in any corner where life can survive, a great struggle between thinking and reality is brewing everywhere.

This kind of fighting is a shocking situation for beings in the desire realm and will destroy everything they take for granted.

All happiness, all ability to examine, all imagination to think, all creative thought, and all the goals of a great life become foolish, self-indulgent acts.

  How should we face such an era? As an ordinary person in the desire realm, how can we have the courage to face all this?

How can we face the struggles of this era and still maintain an intact mind?

How can we avoid the struggles of this era from destroying the integrity of the spirit in our hearts? Know that in this world, they live for the integrity of the spirit.

By observing this struggle, Wu Xian is gradually understanding the world of pure spirit and how spiritual power affects the real and material world.

It turns out... this is Wu Xian's purpose in taking away the Desire Realm.

He was using the properties of the desire realm to study the role of pure spiritual power in 'nature'.

After all, the Desire Realm was created by the devil himself, and the peculiar properties contained in it cannot be replicated by witchcraft. Obviously, this is a good material for learning.

This struggle will deeply reveal the nature of evil thoughts and spirits, which Li Qi has never encountered before.

"This is the use of the Desire Realm to me. If you feel the effect of the Desire Realm, and if you find something similar, I might be able to exchange the Desire Realm with you." Wu Xian said.

Hear this.

Li Qi suddenly smiled with relief.

"So that's how it is. So...Witch God, do you want me to go to the spiritual path?" Li Qi asked.

The only one who can do this must be the spiritual way, which is similar to the demonic way, but completely different, a school of pure philosophy.

"It doesn't have to be you, but Lingdao, I do have something that I want, but it's not convenient for me to go and get it in person." Wu Xian did not shy away from it and admitted it directly.

Li Qi could only smile bitterly.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be yourself.

Wu Xian had obviously made plans. As long as the Desire Realm was in his hands, there would always be people who wanted to take it.

As long as someone wants it, they have to help Wu Xian do this job.

Regardless of whether this person succeeds or not, Wu Xian will definitely succeed. There will be an endless supply of cattle and horses to work for Wu Xian for free, and he won't ask for money if he fails.

But knowing it was a trap, Li Qi had no choice but to jump into it. At the very least... Wu Xian was a trap with a clear price tag. It was not a conspiracy, but something that was made clear.

It's not unacceptable.

"So, what do you want?" (End of this chapter)
