Like poetry, like a painting. The person in front of you is more beautiful than the person in the painting.
The sparse and well-proportioned eyebrow lines have an inviolable awe and pride. The long and curly eyelashes conceal the eyes, which are as fresh and distant as a cold pool surrounded by vegetation.
¡°This pair of eyebrows and this pair of clear eyes, I don¡¯t know how much effort it took to tailor them to make them so exquisite and exquisite.
She is naturally not a stranger to Li Zhichang. It can even be said that in his long years, Li Zhichang has seen countless beautiful women, but this one in front of him will definitely not be forgotten.
It¡¯s not because her beauty is unforgettable, but because the other party is really powerful.
Li Zhichang wants to laugh, but he doesn't think there's anything funny about it. He wants to be serious, but not too serious. Gratitude and grudges are no longer what he values.
He still spoke, as if meeting an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, just saying: "It has been thirteen years since I last saw the Demon Saint Empress, but her innocence has decreased a bit."
The nine-tailed demon saint looked at Li Zhichang indifferently. She didn't know how many complicated emotions she had in her heart.
When they met for the first time, she could still suppress Li Zhichang in all aspects. When they met for the second time, Li Zhichang had already half-stepped into the threshold of Jinxian.
Like a poplar tree as thick as a bowl outside the door, suddenly looking back, it is already towering, not afraid of any wind and rain.
In order to recover from her injuries these years, she never left Qingqiu Mountain.
But she is neither deaf nor dumb, she will always know what she should know.
¡°I have to admit that Li Zhichang is already a step ahead of her.
This distance is difficult to cross and irreducible.
Of course, if she had a treasure like the Hunyuan Golden Dou, even if Li Zhichang became a Golden Immortal, it would still be able to destroy Li Zhichang's moral character.
"But this kind of treasure is even rarer than the Golden Immortal. If she had it, she could protect Qingqiu's lineage for eternity.
A clear and cold voice. It's the same as before, but the situation is different.
"Can you let her go back to Qingqiu with me?"
This is the biggest concession that the Nine-tailed Demon Saint can make. She has never bowed her head in her life, for the sake of her responsibility. Finally I had to say these slightly pleading words.
Li Zhichang was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "If I am not wrong, the Demon Saint Empress may have gained her current strength in less than a hundred years after she was born."
Li Zhichang didn¡¯t say the following words, but everyone could understand, which meant that the Nine-tailed Demon Saint had made no progress since then.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Saint's face darkened. In fact, it only took her fifty years since she was born to have the unfathomable strength she is today.
This strength is the result of thousands of Qi practitioners who have worked hard for a lifetime. Even in thousands of years, one may not be able to come out.
Countless talented people have fallen at the threshold of Golden Immortal, but there are only a few who can reach this threshold.
The nine-tailed demon saint said coldly: "Are you laughing at me?"
There was no ridicule in Li Zhichang's eyes, he just said calmly, without any extraneous tone, "People like you and me should have awareness. All moral rules and responsibilities are just ridiculous ropes. Demon Saint If the empress is willing to live a more willful life, she will not stand still. "
What he said is the truth. Once you embark on a path like theirs, all your power comes from yourself. Even the Moral God and Amitabha Buddha cannot take it away.
This power is yours, so it would be ridiculous to stick to your clan, family ties, or bloodline.
This is not to force oneself to give up on love, but to see clearly where one is.
The emperor can kill millions of people with just one word. But his power is not his own strength, so he cannot be willful.
The famous saying of the Masters - Water can carry a boat and also capsize it, that's it.
But people like Li Zhichang are naturally different. Their power is rooted in themselves, and there are countless possibilities for progress.
It took millions of people to build an artificial canal, but they could do it alone.
Flying into the sky and escaping from the earth, moving mountains and seas, all kinds of incredible actions in the eyes of ordinary people are all within their capabilities.
This kind of power does not rely on external things and has no responsibility.
The nine-tailed demon saint has repeatedly restrained herself for the survival of her people. This is the fundamental reason why she cannot make any progress.
This kind of invisible obstacle is another kind of disaster for Taoists.
So in order to break through these confusions, some people do not hesitate to kill their parents and relatives every time they meet.If you meet a Buddha and kill him, you will find a free me.
There are also people who can¡¯t bear it and can¡¯t see through it, but they can persevere to the end and continue to strengthen themselves to make those they care about live better.
With strong perseverance, he can save others and save himself, and finally achieve the Tao and Fruition.
But under these different methods, there is actually one essential similarity, that is, being able to recognize oneself clearly, recognizing that power comes from oneself, and not asking for others.
"Li Zhichang's so-called living a willful life comes from this confidence in his own strength.
The Nine-tailed Demon Saint cannot be willful because he doesn't believe in his own strength, or he doesn't believe that he has the ability to do more.
This is to deny oneself and keep oneself within the constraints of secular power and morality.
This is why it was common for ancient gods and demons to chase the sun and moon and carry the sea on their shoulders, but it is now difficult to see the emergence of such tyrannical gods and demons.
Because that kind of transcendent power and willful temperament are really a great harm to the real world.
During the ancient floods, those capable of fighting, and even through ancient and modern, almost annihilated.
This made those extraordinary beings wary, so tribal groups were formed, changing the situation of fighting alone.
????????? Use heavenly rules, morality, benevolence and righteousness to bind these great supernatural beings.
But all this was not recognized by all those with great supernatural powers, so there was a dispute between heaven and earth.
To be free, you still need to survive.
Those who resisted chose the former option.
The Emperor of Heaven suppressed everything and eliminated those gods and demons, but it could not be said to be a success, because his whereabouts were unknown and he might even have died.
And most of the followers of the Emperor of Heaven were wiped out in that earth-shattering battle.
The fruits of victory that were left behind were still picked away by others.
This secret was deduced by Li Zhichang from the stolen books.
He admired the Emperor of Heaven¡¯s ambition and his concern for all sentient beings in the empty universe, the past and the future, and as many as the sands of the Ganges River.
But the path he took was still self-willed.
Because the Emperor of Heaven wants all gods and demons to obey his arrangements to survive, it is not a kind of willfulness. Just because of the strength of the Emperor of Heaven. It is almost powerful enough to suppress everything, so it dares to do so.
This means that I can benefit others, but it is not an obligation.
As a certain emperor said: What I give to you is yours. If I don¡¯t give it to you, you can¡¯t take it away.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Saint lacks this kind of awareness.
It¡¯s not that she did something wrong, it¡¯s that she thought wrong.
Li Zhichang understands very well. He also does this, so he can stand at a higher position and see further.
Not only does he think so, but the old demon from Montenegro also thinks so.
Everyone is afraid of the power of the old demon from Black Mountain, but they cannot understand that the old demon just recognizes himself.
This is the understanding of the tribulation of the Taoist mind. benefits.
Others can also pass through the Dao Heart Tribulation, but they don¡¯t understand the origin of this calamity.
Li Zhichang expressed his feelings. The Nine-tailed Demon Sage may not understand it, and even if he understands it, he may not be able to change his mind.
"This is like a modern person. If you travel back to ancient times, you have to talk to the peasants and talk to them about class conflicts. They cannot understand it. Even if they understand it, it will be difficult to change their world view.
Therefore, although there are countless rebels who use the slogan of "equalize land", none of them succeed. Even if it comes close to success, it quickly collapses.
Its prosperity is rapid and its failure is rapid.
Although the disciples of Taoism and Buddhism practice very quickly, few understand this essence.
???Although people in the devil's way do very willful things, they are actually willful for the sake of being willful, so they die faster and suffer more suppression.
After all, we understand that people are in the minority.
And the truth itself is in the hands of a few people. That's why there will always be few strong people.
The nine-tailed demon saint shook her red lips and said resolutely: "My willfulness means that I will take her away today."
Li Zhichang chuckled and said, "Sure enough, no matter how much you talk, it's not as practical as fists."
He said softly: "Here comes the sword."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? "Come as you wish."
Behind the back is a sword as dark as ink in its scabbard. A sword came out spontaneously, a long river of sword energy, more brilliant than the Milky Way, surrounding the two people, cutting off the world.
Even the stars and the moon are eclipsed by it, and the mountains and rivers tremble.
??In the long river of sword energy. Nine monsters rolled and rolled in the long river.
The antlers are like a deer, the head is like a camel, and the eyes are likeThe rabbit's neck is like a snake, its belly is like a mirage, its scales are like a fish, its claws are like an eagle, its palms are like a tiger, and its ears are like an ox.
They are clearly nine lifelike real dragons, each with its own charm and might.
Li Zhichang stood in front of the nine-tailed demon saint without saying a word, already having an absolute advantage.
It is difficult for the Nine-tailed Demon Saint to deal with these two treasures, not to mention the unpredictable Li Zhichang.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Saint couldn't say anything special about using treasures. After all, Li Zhichang would never be swayed by such words. If he said it, it would make people look down on him.
Li Zhichang didn¡¯t think it was too much to bully others. Since he had an overwhelming advantage, why not use it.
Looking at the nine-tailed demon saint, Tian Yan was ashamed and angry, but he still found it interesting.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Saint Qi said: "Let's do it."
Li Zhichang chuckled softly and said: "If you explode the demon pill yourself, I will probably be injured a little, but it will definitely not be serious. You should give up this idea.
"Life is very precious." He said seriously.
The Nine-Tailed Demon Saint almost couldn't help but explode himself, but Li Zhichang was prepared and lost the suddenness.
What¡¯s more important is that her anger has been vented.
The nine-tailed demon saint was a little frustrated and said: "Let me go, and I will never trouble you again."
Li Zhichang said: "Actually, I didn't say not to let Qingfeng come with you. After all, the nine-tailed fox has some secret skills that only you can teach."
The nine-tailed demon saint almost couldn¡¯t believe it: ¡°Seriously?¡±
Li Zhichang said: "Fake."
"You go to hell." The nine-tailed demon saint finally cursed.
Li Zhichang smiled lightly and said, "I lied to you."
The reason why Chicheng Mountain is called Chicheng Mountain is because the red rocks on the mountain are arranged side by side like a city, and look like clouds when viewed from the sky.
Although many of the stones on the mountain are red, the water below the mountain is clear.
The name of this stream is Shifeng River. As for why it is called Shifeng River. ,
Li Xiuyuan didn¡¯t know why.
His grandfather was the Linhai Captain, so Li Xiuyuan could be regarded as a reluctant playboy in this village.
It¡¯s just that Li Xiuyuan never felt that he was superior to others because of his good family background.
Although he is only thirteen years old, he has already made famous child prodigies, at least those who have the knowledge of a hundred miles around, unable to compare with him.
And he not only read the Four Books and Five Classics, but also often secretly took Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures to the Ruixia Cave not far away to read them.
Because these are idle books that have nothing to do with the imperial examination, if your husband and parents see them, you will be scolded.
But Li Xiuyuan seemed to be more interested in these books.
Today he did not read a copy of the Avatamsaka Sutra that he secretly found. Instead, he sat under a willow tree and looked at a person in the distance.
For a fisherman, the most important thing is that his hook is straight.
If it was a straight hook, how could he catch the fish? But not only did the man catch it, he also caught a fish basket.
His eyesight is very good. Every time the opponent takes out the fishhook from the fish's mouth, he can see clearly without any bend.
He has been watching it for a long time and is really curious.
¡°Anyone who is twelve or thirteen years old would find it difficult not to be curious when seeing this scene.
Li Xiuyuan walked up and said, "Brother, are you fishing?"
As he got closer, he realized that this man was a young man with delicate features and an indescribable charm.
The facial features are not very outstanding, but they are indescribably harmonious. They are like the most perfect puzzle pieces. They are put together in an extremely natural and eye-catching way.
The man said: "I am releasing animals."
As he spoke, he poured the fish from the basket into the river. Strangely enough, some of the fish had been caught for a long time, but none of them died.
Li Xiuyuan said: "If you were going to let them go, why did you catch them?"
The young man said: "Are you trying to say that it's unnecessary?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded.
The young man said: "I won't bother you. Will you come and ask me?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "No."
The young man touched Li Xiuyuan¡¯s head and said, ¡°That¡¯s why I wasted my time. You saw me fishing with a straight hook just now. Were you curious?¡±
Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes."
The young man said: "If you want to learn, I will teach you."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Really?"
After all, he still has a childlike innocence and thinks it is a cool thing to catch fish with a straight hook.
The young man said: "Of course it's true."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I heard something like this?? Skills are all unique skills. Should I become a disciple of you? "
He still knew that certain skills in the world were passed down from male to female and were passed down secretly. Li Zhichang¡¯s ability to fish with a straight hook was extremely unique among those stories.
This unique technique cannot be easily learned.
The young man said: "You can teach me."
Li Xiuyuan didn't want to bow before him, but he saw that the young man always felt close to him and felt blessed in his heart. He didn't think about anything else and was about to kowtow.
At this time, a loud voice came loudly: "Fellow Taoist, this son is destined to me, can I let him become my teacher?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the source of the sound, but it was a great monk. He was holding a Zen staff and his eyes were wide open. He looked like a Dharma-throwing Vajra.
The young man asked: "Who are you?"
The great monk said: "Dharma does not originate from others, and it is neither common nor without a cause; observing the emptiness of the dharma, everything does not originate. The dharma of the poor monk is empty." (To be continued.)
