People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 223 The Wisdom of Buddha (Seventh Update! 6880 Monthly Tickets Added! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Sun Guang was completely unsettled at this moment. He knew that with a higher realm, the development of wisdom and physical body would naturally make one more powerful in everything they did.

But his current actions are a bit too much. After all, judging from Li Qi's swordsmanship, he should be a brute. His academic performance can be attributed to his quick thinking, but painting requires artistic talent.

At this moment, Cheng Weiwei didn't say anything, but she had similar thoughts. She didn't really understand painting, but she could still sense whether something was good or not.

In Li Qi's painting, the river is just ordinary, but the sun and the dragon are too "realistic," and the feeling and meaning in it are extraordinary.

They had no idea that the image of the sun in this painting represented the light in his heart: "My heart is bright, like the great sun!"

As for the dragon, it was the manifestation of Meng Wujie's will!
That one evening, a fleeting glimpse left an indelible impression on Li Qi.

Of course, it wasn't lust at first sight, but rather it ignited Li Qi's fighting spirit and determination to give the other party a good beating in the future.

So what if there are three saints and seven immortals...?

One day, I will strike with my sword and the world will bow down.

In a sense, Li Qi's mind is still not detached enough. Back then, the matter of the Cicada Heart Sect was intercepted by a celestial being. Although he now understands that with his current power, becoming a disciple is meaningless.

But some things, once they happen, they happen, and they leave a trace.

This is normal, though. If someone could achieve such a transcendent state of mind from the very beginning, they wouldn't be human, but a born god. While such people may exist, Li Qi is not one of them.

"Isn't this something anyone can do with their hands? Guang, you can't possibly not be able to do it!"

Li Qi joked, then put down his pen and took the paper off the clip, which elicited two more gasps.

At this moment, Sun Guang and Cheng Weiwei were shocked to see that beneath the paper, on the unpainted wooden drawing board, there was another copy of the image from the white paper.
Li Qi's brushstrokes were so powerful that they penetrated the paper and even reached the very core of the text!
This is undoubtedly something that ordinary people cannot do!

"Ah Guang, this is for you."

Li Qi handed the painting and easel to Sun Guang, who accepted it without hesitation.

This is a truly valuable piece. Unlike the painting of crucian carp rolling around that Li Qi painted last year, this painting itself is of immense value. And if Li Qi continues to grow in the future, he won't even need to engage in scholarly debates anymore; it will certainly be priceless.

While Sun Guang felt that Li Qi could not become a demon god, he was likely destined to become a great immortal in the future. At sixteen, he could crush a car with one hand, and his calligraphy and painting were incredibly skillful. If such a monster could not become a true immortal, then there should be no true immortals in this world.

Cheng Weiwei, watching from the sidelines, felt a little envious, but she knew in her heart that her relationship with Li Qi was not yet at that stage.

More than an hour later, Sun Guang mysteriously said that he would take Li Qi on an adventure. Upon hearing this, Li Qi's heart stirred, and he had a strange feeling again.

So the two of them deviated from the greenway and entered the forest, which turned out to be their sketching route, which led them out of the city.

After wandering through the wilderness for about ten minutes, a dilapidated temple that had been sealed off suddenly appeared in the forest.

"So it's the Ancient Green Temple!"

The moment Li Qi saw this place, his super brain activated, and his super intelligence naturally began to work, summarizing and organizing all the relevant information, ultimately transforming it into a clear understanding. "That's right, I just suddenly realized that Guqing Temple is right next door."

Sun Guang stands with his hands on his hips.

"Isn't there a rumor online that this place is haunted?!"

Cheng Weiwei curiously examined the dilapidated building in front of her. She had been secretly keeping an eye on Li Qi's movements, and seeing the two of them acting suspiciously, she followed them out of curiosity.

"In a materialistic world, there are no demons or monsters. Besides, if it weren't for our Tyrant Tiger here, they would say that the tiger's might can ward off evil. With Aqi's spirit, what demons or monsters would dare to get close?!"

Sun Guangxiong walked with an air of triumph and pride, exuding an indescribable sense of arrogance.

In fact, his current courage is entirely due to Li Qi's support; if he were to come alone, he definitely wouldn't dare.

"If there were really demons and monsters, this place would probably have been flattened by artillery fire long ago."

Li Qi made a joke about physical exorcism.

However, in fact, there is a metaphysical basis for bombarding some places with heavy yin energy with cannonballs. Gunpowder is extremely yang, and thunder and fire are the most yang. Using this to cleanse the ground can really change the feng shui of the place.

"That's true. If there really was a problem here, it wouldn't have survived until now and become one of the urban legends of Tiannan."

Cheng Weiwei continued the conversation.

As for the urban legends here, there are very few locals in Tiannan who don't know them.

More than 20 years ago, an extremely heinous case occurred here. There were five monks in this temple, two old monks and three young monks. At that time, the surrounding land, covering dozens of acres, was also the temple's property. Although it was not wealthy, it was not poor either, and it was not in the desolate state it is in now.

One night, everyone in the temple suddenly died. Later, it was said that the monster that was being suppressed in the temple broke the seal, possessed the old monk, and controlled him to kill everyone before finally committing suicide.

The story became increasingly fantastical. While the official explanation was that the old monk had made a mistake in his martial arts, went into a state of demonic possession, and lost the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy, leading to his rampage, people were more inclined to believe that something supernatural was at play than that his martial arts had gone wrong.

The reason is simple: the old monk's martial arts were only at the entry level. To put it bluntly, with such low skill, it would be difficult for him to suffer a qi deviation.

However, Li Qi knew that the official explanation was indeed part of the truth. The monk's cultivation method was special. It did not enter the realm through martial arts, but was an extremely unorthodox method that entered the realm through the mind. It started with refining the spirit, which in turn elevated the essence of life. The so-called emptiness of the four elements, emptiness without emptiness, only consciousness and self.

This is an ancient Buddhist method, and it's not impossible to follow. However, people ultimately live in reality, and the physical body is the key. Starting with directly cultivating the spirit is very easy to go astray.

The pursuit of the divine way is generally something that people begin to pursue after entering the path, and only when they reach the level of a sage will they explore and develop it to its fullest extent.

The reason for this is mainly because the Buddha Shakyamuni was born with the wisdom of enlightenment, using his own mind to verify his own mind, and attaining enlightenment to become a Buddha and a saint. Since the founder of the sect was like this, later generations naturally followed suit, but without the Buddha's wisdom, various problems arose.

Later Buddhist masters also discovered this problem and began to pursue the so-called golden body in order to make up for the deficiency.
