Wandao long distance

Chapter 995 Language

Li Qi wanted to hold an umbrella for others because he had been caught in the rain.

The demonic disturbances he and Shen Shuibi had suffered were probably among the highest in the world, but due to various coincidences and his own hard work, they finally had a chance to breathe now.

For more people, even if they are facing a weaker demon, due to their specific circumstances, it is even more difficult to deal with it, and they eventually end up in a tragic end.

That’s right, this is Li Qi’s purpose——

What Li Qi wants to do is not to destroy the devil, but to pull all living beings out of the hands of the devil.

This answer surprised Shen Shuibi.

"Then...what about now?" Shen Shuibi looked at Li Qi in surprise.

  Yes, if according to the answer Li Qi gave her, then Li Qi has almost achieved his goal now, so what are all the subsequent actions for?

No, the answer is already very clear. Li Qi is just confusing people.

As long as they act as if they are destroying the devil, then as long as the devil is still fighting with Li Qi, all the time gained in the meantime will be peaceful days for all living beings.

This is what Li Qi has to do at this stage, and he has already completed it quietly.

Under the guise of destroying demons, he managed to buy himself a period of peace. As long as Qi Dian still existed, as long as Li Qi's momentum to destroy demons did not diminish, and as long as the demons were still willing to fight with him like this, then Li Qi could even continue like this forever.

"Is there more than one Qidian?" Shen Shuibi asked based on her guess about Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Of course there are more. If this Qi Palace collapses, I can always take out a second one, so don't worry."

"That's good." Shen Shuibi breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he is not determined to pursue a showdown with the devil, his safety can be basically guaranteed, and Li Qi should still be able to protect himself.

As for the fact that Li Qi had been hiding the secret from her, she didn't feel anything about it.

This is a very normal thing, especially for powerful people.

"You are very real" may be a compliment to mortals, but unfortunately, in the eyes of the powerful, "real" is not an advantage, it is just an adverb of degree.

When the years are peaceful, your sincerity can move people, but when you do something without knowing it, the truth will become the greatest harm, and then it can really hurt people deeply.

Keep a part of it and be a riddle teller, it will be good for everyone.

It can even be said that it is a risk for Li Qi to explain all this to Shen Shuibi here.

So the rabbit put his fingers on his temples, drew out this thought, and crushed it on his fingers: "I will forget this. You should be careful here. I will leave first and won't cause you any trouble."

After saying that, she left.

Li Qi took a sip of the tea that Rabbit brought over.

He did not lie to Shen Shuibi. The current situation was exactly what Li Qi created to delay time. However... the false is real and the real is false.

If Modao really thought that he was just like that, he wouldn't mind changing his plan immediately and really putting the destruction of the demon on the agenda.

No matter how it changes, he is ready.

He won't lose anyway, this is a showdown between the powerful.

There's just a problem.

To the Demonic Path... Li Qi still has a real flaw.

That is... desire.

As long as there is any form of desire in the heart, as long as there is any expectation of a certain future state, the mind cannot be at peace.

Any desire will bring pain. Generally speaking, life is full of desires. Even if there is only one desire, it will be accompanied by endless pain and misfortune.

Desire is the only pain. It plunges your life into darkness; it makes you frustrated and miserable.

It is not easy to free the mind from the shackles of desire, and even to let oneself know that this desire needs attention is not a simple thing. When you find yourself with desire, this is the best time for the magic path to enter the game, and if you choose to procrastinate, it is tantamount to helping it take root.

Therefore, what Li Qi needs to do now is to prevent the problems he has discovered from taking root.

The specific method is to take advantage of Li Qi's own chaos. As long as there are enough questions and thoughts, nothing can take root. No idea can occupy Li Qi's main thinking in his current state.

Li Qi is very confident now.

Because the so-called leaders are actually dreamers. They don't know what fear is and have no idea of ​​the probability of their own failure. If you can't do this, you can't be a leader.

If you are timid and don't think about victory but only about failure, you can only be a strategist but not a leader.

The greatest advantage of a leader is that he can paint a picture of victory for everyone, and can make even the most pessimistic strategist feel that his victory is hopeful. Even if the strategist's rational thinking shows that there is only one way out, the leader can make people believe in himself rather than the strategist.

As long as enough people believe in the leader, the chances of winning will really get higher and higher.

That's the power of language.

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

For Li Qi, language is so powerful.

The same is true for the magic path.

Language is truly powerful. Words and speech are more than simple reminders. They recreate the past in reality and give us a condensed and stunning imagination, rather than just ordinary memories.

It can even be said that culture and civilization itself are the product of this "concentrated imagination".

History needs to be recorded in writing, technology needs to be passed on in writing, and civilization itself is the product of the combination of technology and culture. When the writing of a civilization is destroyed, the civilization is basically destroyed.

Each new language provides a new orientation for the way of thinking, expressing ideas and expressing emotions, thus creating unique discourse symbols and ultimately becoming something unique.

Just as bamboo slips gave birth to a culture, newspapers gave birth to another culture, television gave birth to a culture, and mobile phone live streaming gave birth to a new culture, short videos and long videos are also different.

Although they seem to speak the same language, the difference in medium also represents a difference in message.

From paintings to hieroglyphs, from letters to television, every new medium will give birth to a new language, and a new language will give birth to a new culture.

In the new language system, what people say can not only be heard but also seen - this is no small matter, although many people do not realize it.

But it is clear that the form of language creates a new idea of ​​knowledge, a new understanding of intelligence, audience, and interpretation of the world. Putting your ideas into words is not the end of those ideas, but the beginning of them.

Written words make ideas easily accessible to the constant and rigorous scrutiny of others. Written form solidifies language, giving rise to grammar, logic, rhetoric, and a whole host of techniques that have evolved from them—all of which require people to see the language in front of their eyes in order to see its meaning, find its errors, and understand its implications.

  To ordinary people, such people may not see the magic of words, but can you imagine how strange and magical words would appear to a nation with only oral language?

Such a conversation seems to have no object, and yet it seems that everyone can be the object.

Is there anything stranger than the silence of a text when one asks a question? Is there anything more mysterious than speaking to an invisible reader and correcting oneself because one knows that an anonymous reader will object or misunderstand?

Similarly, for someone who has only read text records, the language expression of "video" is more impactful, so the language of lens emerged.

And through this power, the evil thoughts themselves are able to spread.

Information is spread through language, text, or video, and information is a clear and specific description of the world. What is spread through information is a part of other people's hearts.

Include those symbols that make the conversation possible.

One person's thoughts, transmitted to others, are like a metaphor, a hidden but powerful suggestion, but enough to define the real world.

Whether we speak through words—

Or through the printed word—

Or TV, camera, camera--

In short, when you feel the world through the things in other people's hearts, this idea of ​​communication is classifying, sorting, constructing, enlarging, shrinking and coloring the world in the hearts of all beings, and proving the reason for the existence of everything.

There is an example that can be clearly understood, for example, there are no numbers in people's minds, and intelligence has no quantity and volume unless we believe that 'there is'.

So why do we still believe that it does?

This is because we have the tools of thought that help us understand the outside world.

For example, the language of nature is mathematics. In fact, this is just an analogy, because nature itself cannot speak, so there is no language. Our bodies and brains cannot speak either. Our conversations about nature and ourselves are conducted in any "language" that we find convenient.

And this language can be described as 'mathematics'.

You see, mathematics exists in the thinking organ. Outside the thinking organ, outside the 'self', there is no mathematics.

Concepts, numbers, logic, everything that describes external things, all thoughts, exist only within the thinking organ.

The nature, wisdom, knowledge and thoughts that we know are not their true selves, but their expressions in language.

Language is the medium through which things other than the self can be communicated.

Or maybe there is another adjective that can describe what is happening at this moment...

meme.

The meme is spreading.

Evil thoughts spread through memes, slowly infecting everything in the world.

Haha, Li Qi thought he had eradicated the City of Dreams, but the City of Dreams just existed in this world in a different form.

A hotbed can breed evil thoughts. The City of Dreams is just a more convenient hotbed. It does not mean that there are no other hotbeds in the world.

For example...the construction of Qidian began.

The construction of Qidian is in full swing.

Mu Yu, the third-rank official from Qidian, was in charge of this matter. In fact, this kind of thing was very simple for a third-rank official. If it were not necessary to maintain the existence of Qidian, he could have built all these things by himself.

It's just a few billion galaxies, something that can be done by waving your hands back and forth.

Unfortunately, this is just like a ritual. What is important is not the ritual itself, but the symbolic meaning behind it. The people in Qidian are part of a grand sacrifice and a symbol created to fight against the second-grade magic. Therefore, not only can he not do it on their behalf, but he also has to carefully maintain the existence of Qidian.

At this moment, Mu Yu was paying attention to these things.

As a third-rank official, his growth experience is as legendary as that of other third-rank officials.

Born in the City of Dreams, he was tortured by the devil all his life, but he finally got out of it on his own. He felt that he had extraordinary abilities and tried to join the human way.

He succeeded, he was recognized by humanity, became a part of humanity, and with the help of humanity's resources, he became a fifth-grade person.

After that, his goal was to become a martial arts master of the Imperial Palace, but after joining the training camp, he quickly realized that this goal was beyond his ability.

The people around me are all monsters, and each of them has a talent that is one in a trillion.

His lack of strength caused him to suffer greatly in the process, and eventually evil thoughts took over his mind, his faith collapsed, and he refused humanitarian rescue and psychological assistance, giving up his identity as a "human".

Thus, he turned to pursue his own path of martial arts, but he did not waste his time as a human being.

The martial arts he learned in the Humane Palace were extraordinary. Moreover, thanks to the good practice environment and humane resources of the world, he learned a lot in his spare time, which benefited him a lot.

Later, he joined Qi Dian because of his experience in creating the magic path when he was young. On this road, Mu Yu was not alone. There were thousands of people seeking answers to similar questions. They were all volunteers. Most of them were not as good as Mu Yu, but they all had similar experiences.

However, even though Mu Yu is so outstanding, he now faces a huge problem.

That is, during the construction process, many people became paranoid.

Including Mu Yu, he found that he was losing his mind, his anxiety was getting worse and worse, he almost forgot what it felt like to have a good night's sleep.

Therefore, he knew almost immediately that this was the counterattack of the devil.

He had no evidence, but he didn't need it.

So he immediately started to contact Li Qi.

However, at this moment, an idea popped into his mind.

"Senior Li Qi... do you really want to destroy the demon?"

This shouldn't have been doubted. There was nothing to question about Li Qi's demon-killing operation.

But...it always feels a bit mysterious.
