Taoist Guanqi did not directly answer Liu Li's question. He said: "If you meet a rich businessman, he only needs you to kneel on the ground and salute, and he will give you a thousand taels of gold. What will you do?"
Liu Li thought for a while and said honestly:
"Too much."
"I'll ask him to give less, otherwise I'll feel a little guilty."
Taoist Guanqi seemed to be choked, and after a moment he said: "What if you just kneel down in the beginning, and then you are asked to kill people, first strangers, and then people close to you?"
Liu Li said: "Then I will definitely take the initial money and go to the police, oh, report it to the official." He was afraid that the chess watchers would not understand the meaning of "call the police."
The chess-watching Taoist suddenly laughed.
The corners of his mouth that were as old as tree bark raised a little, and he nodded slightly and said, "Innocent heart."
Liu Li felt confused. Was the Taoist chess watcher laughing at him for being naive?
Liu Li couldn't help but fell into deep thought, what should he do? Just kill the wealthy businessman and take away his ill-gotten gains?
"There are no wealthy businessmen, only distant stars." Taoist Guanqi said: "Absorbing the light from them can indeed strengthen yourself like medicine, but the light of the stars will change your life, whether it is physical or spiritual. You will become less and less like a human being, and you will become a demon, a demon that absorbs the essence of the sun, moon and stars."
Liu Li was surprised and said: "Shouldn't the demon be transformed into an animal?"
"There is such a misunderstanding precisely because the ascetics at that time were no longer like humans in body and spirit." said Guanqi Taoist.
Liu Li had goosebumps all over his body as he listened.
"Then, why is this "Xuanguang Eye" still deceiving people and leaving behind this stargazing method?"
Guanqi Taoist said: "Because monsters don't cultivate themselves just because they want to. If you compare the path of spiritual cultivation to climbing a building, you are still on the first floor, and monsters are generally on the second and third floors."
Liu Li listened and felt happy in his heart. This was the first time he knew the division of realms!
He only had a vague feeling before, for example, that he was stronger than the guards and others, maybe about the same as someone like Sun Wei, or slightly weaker than Sun Wei, and then he couldn't defeat Calamity at all.
There is no explanation of the realm of cultivation in the "Shen Yi Jing". Liu Li suspected that either it was not written or Song Sanyue deleted it deliberately without letting him know.
Taoist Guanqi said again: "All the Dharma in the world are created by humans. Demons are powerful people. If he creates Dharma, will it prevent those who come after him from becoming demons?"
"Do those who practice what they consider to be the supreme scriptures and grow feathers and scales on their bodies think that their path is wrong? Or do they think that this is a necessary process to ascend to immortality?"
"Among them, people who have truly lost their minds will think that they are obsessed with things, have hidden dangers, or have bad luck, haha."
Liu Li was startled. It seemed that this was the first time he had seen such strong emotions in Guanqi Taoist. His words were full of ridicule. Before, he was more like a stereotyped robot, or an immortal who didn't care about anything. People seem more humane now?
Liu Li asked: "If you practice the Sutra of Transformation and use the Earth Observation Method, will you not become a monster?"
"Yes." Taoist Guanqi answered simply.
Liu Li said "Ah", and the chess Taoist explained: "If you look like a human, you may be able to carry a cauldron, live to be eight hundred years old, have an ageless appearance, and travel thousands of miles a day, wouldn't you also be a monster?"
Liu Li thought about it, and it made sense, but at least it still looked like a human being, and after all, it was different from a real monster.
"Even if you are slightly careless," Guanqi Taoist said: "You will only turn into a monster similar to some kind of animal in the world, such as a tiger-headed monster, a deer-headed monster, a dog-headed monster, etc. After all, it will be better than the grotesque monsters. The great beast is better."
Then thank you. Liu Li's mouth twitched.
"Is there any way to completely prevent the body from turning into a monster?" Liu Li asked.
"Yes." Taoist Guanqi answered very cheerfully today: "If you only cultivate your nature and not your life, you can completely prevent your body from turning into a monster."
Liu Li frowned and said: "But I heard that if you only cultivate the ancestral nature without cultivating the elixir, it will be difficult for the Yin spirit of all tribulations to become a saint. If you only cultivate the nature without cultivating the life, what should you do if the body is corrupted and destroyed?"
The Taoist Guanqi smiled and said: "The decay of the flesh can prevent the body from turning into a monster, right?"
Liu Li was speechless, the Taoist chess watcher was actually making fun of him!
I used to regard him as a respected senior and respected him very much!
The next moment, Liu Li realized that the Taoist's gradual becoming "cheerful" seemed to be traceable.
It’s your own spiritual power!
"Could it be that the stronger my mental strength is, the more humane and talkative Taoist Guanqi will be?"
Liu Li made random guesses.
"Okay, that's enough chatting, today's practice begins." Taoist Guanqi turned around again, watched the game and sang.
Liu Li also put away the messy thoughts in his heart, used the meditation method of crossing the bridge and dividing the lights to build the foundation, sat down on the ground, and listened quietly.
In the middle of reciting the sutra, Taoist Guanqi suddenly stopped and said to Liu Li: "Now you have the method of feeding food. You can recite it after me to exercise your breath."
Liu Li was overjoyed when he heard this. Taoist Guanqi actually took the initiative to teach him how to practice. He quickly followed Taoist Guanqi in reciting the Taoist scriptures.
The breath still couldn't keep up, but Liu Li tried his best to keep up.
This time, he felt much better than the first time he read along.
…
the next day.
Liu Li's voice became hoarse again.
"Damn old man, I believe you!"
Liu Li drank winter flower wine and thought depressedly.
He said that he could read with him now, but the result was that his voice was hoarse.
"Today is the same as yesterday. I went to catch the evil spirits in the city and practice the method of observing the earth."
In the morning, Liu Li went shopping again.
At the gate of the school near the community, Liu Li passed by and saw the cultivator he had seen yesterday.
Liu Li threw a bottle of drink at him. He wanted to say thank you for your hard work, but his voice was too hoarse and he couldn't speak.
The other party caught it and smiled tacitly with Liu Li.
After Liu Li left, he looked at the mineral water in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Liu Li was walking on the street, thinking silently: "The Xuanguang Eye allows me to see things that I can't see under normal circumstances, just like when I used the Xuanguang Eye in the Taoist Temple in my dream, I saw the starlight thread that measured the dream."
"Perhaps, the Xuanguang Eye can allow me to catch clues of evil activities!"
On the street, Liu Li used the Xuanguang Eye, partly to detect whether there were normal invisible things on the street, and partly to observe the state of the world, so as to practice the Xuanguang Eye.
It was better not to use it. After stimulating Xuanguang Eyes, Liu Li realized that there were so many details about the people on the streets he often walked by!
Everyone's expressions turned out to be so vivid: the old woman who went home from shopping for groceries had a happy smile on her face, perhaps thinking of her grandchildren waiting at home. The girl who stayed on the street was staring at her mobile phone and worrying. She was wondering why her boyfriend hadn't replied to her message yet. There was also the courier guy in uniform, who was parking a small truck full of couriers on the side of the road and making a phone call. He probably didn't get through, and he looked a little sad. .
Liu Li discovered that under the Xuan Guang Eye state, he could vaguely detect the emotional state of the people he saw, as if their emotions had become some kind of visible existence that could be seen by him.
"This ability is so fun."
Liu Li seemed to have acquired an unexpected new skill while playing a game, and tried it over and over again.
