Chapter 17 Violating the Immortal Rules
After Zhao Cunyuan's interruption, Gu Yunli subconsciously stopped what he was doing as he looked at the community that had already taken shape.
After a quick search, he found that there were already hundreds of active users.
You know, it's still the middle of the night.
Moreover, the Internet version 1.2 has just been updated. I think once other users discover the launch of the community section, they will probably become more active.
However, the bad news is that these active users are basically ghosts.
These people cannot contribute incense.
"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. This lord, bah, I have tolerated you till today, it is not in vain."
A smile appeared on Gu Yunli's lips.
——Free users are not users, but part of the product. It’s time to let these ghosts play the product attributes.
After thinking about it, a pinned post appeared in major communities.
[Top][Add to Highlights] · [Congratulations on the launch of Internet version 1.2. The community section is fully open. From now on, you can earn points by posting. Points can be exchanged for various books. The rules for earning points are as follows...]
To be honest, the number of books that Gu Yunli has accumulated over the past five years is actually very limited.
There are even fewer books that are useful to ghosts.
But there are too many rookies!
You have to know that not every ghost has innate magical powers, and not every ghost can achieve success.
Most ghosts are just like mortals.
Living an ordinary life, even worse than ordinary people.
At least mortals, as the source of incense, have the protection of the immortal court.
Where are the ghosts?
There is nothing, just like weeds on the roadside, growing wildly, dying one after another.
It is difficult for everyone to survive, so how can we have the energy to search for books and techniques?
Therefore, after Gu Yunli posted the pinned post, the number of posts in major communities increased significantly.
"Collecting the incense of mortals and harnessing the labor of ghosts, how wonderful!"
Gu Yunli smiled slightly, looked at the community posts for a while, and found that most of them were novel posts about discovering new worlds. Then he logged out of the Internet and went to practice.
Now his efficiency in collecting incense sticks basically remains at around two hundred sticks per day.
And it is in an upward trend.
Most of them are split by a single cut.
The average incense quality is very poor.
Because most of the people who burn incense are skeptical.
And afterwards, most people didn’t know his name or how to worship him, and his account became completely dormant.
Gu Yunli was also helpless about this.
He knows that the world has a low literacy rate, so every user's first login to the Internet will trigger the first login instructions.
Logically, they should know how to log in, but most of them just can't remember.
This reminded him of the time when he went home during the Spring Festival to teach his grandparents how to use mobile phones.
From this perspective, perhaps it is because he is too advanced in the Internet.
It's no surprise that it's not used.
Fortunately, although there are few people who can read and write, there are always one or two in every village. Therefore, under the temptation of a large number of books, there is no shortage of people who are willing to cut the incense every day, so the overall trend of incense burning is increasing.
The reason why the increase is very slow is also related to the inconvenient transportation in this world.
However, right now, these incense sticks are enough for him to practice.
As he entered the spiritual realm, his demand for incense increased dramatically.
Now, one hundred incense sticks can help about 0.34% of the progress of practice.
In other words, reaching the spiritual realm requires at least thirty thousand incense sticks.
This is still a conservative estimate!
Because it is difficult to make progress, the closer you get to the border, the more incense you need. Therefore, Gu Yunli has no idea how much is needed.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of incense at the moment, so there is no need to panic.
Nothing happened all night.
The next morning, Gu Yunli opened his eyes, looked at the 2.1% progress of his spiritual realm cultivation, and let out a sigh of relief.
He was about to check the Internet when he heard a report from outside the door.
"Mr. Gu, the captain of the Inspection Division, Poxie, wants to see you!"
"Please come in quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunli quickly stood up to greet him.
Not long after, a familiar-looking Yin general walked in.
"School Captain Yan Jun'an, the evil-breaking officer, pays respect to Master Gu of Tian'an!"
"Captain Yan, you're so polite!"
Gu Yunli did not dare to be arrogant and bowed quickly.
In terms of rank, he is a real ninth-rank general. Not only is his status not inferior to his, but his strength is far superior to his. "The fox demon Cui's grandmother has not been arrested yet. The inspector is worried that Mr. Gu is in danger, so he sent me to take him there. If Mr. Gu is alright, please follow me to the Yong County City God Palace immediately!"
"Okay, okay, thank you."
Gu Yunli bowed, quickly arranged the matters concerning the Tianan Land Temple through the Internet, and then left with Captain Yan.
There were no surprises along the way.
When he arrived outside the City God Palace, looking at the palace that stretched out in front of him and seemed like the crimson palace in the sky, a trace of trance flashed in Gu Yunli's eyes.
The last time I came here was when I passed the imperial examination.
He studied in the City God Palace for a period of time, but unexpectedly, when he came back again, he had already become an official.
"Mr. Gu, please!"
Led by Captain Yan, Gu Yunli came to the backyard of the Inspection Office and met Inspector He in the main hall.
"I, Gu Yunli, greet the Inspector!"
Gu Yunli bowed.
"Hey, why are you so polite? Speaking of which, you and I hit it off right away. If you don't mind, we can call each other brothers from now on. How about that?"
The patrol officer stood up with a faint smile on his face.
"Gu Yunbai sees Brother He."
"Good brother!"
The two of them declared themselves brothers so quickly that Captain Yan, who was standing beside them, was left confused.
——I thought, when I see Gu Yunli again in the future, won’t I have to show great courtesy?
After greeting his brothers, Inspector He became more friendly:
"My dear brother, your case has been solved. The leader of Tian'an attacked and killed an official of the Immortal Court. He deserves death. My dear brother, you killed him, which is a great achievement. Now come with me to the Yin-Yang Department to go through the procedures."
Gu Yunli heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a folded hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother He."
"Look at you, you're being polite to me again, right?"
"Brother, this is as it should be."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and Gu Yunli tentatively asked about the sealing list.
"Brother, you have the internet for praying to gods, but do you still need the incense from the shamans?" the inspector asked in surprise.
"To be honest with you, Brother He, although the shamans are not in the mainstream, they are also indispensable to the local area. As the governor of a place, I naturally have to put the people first and find out the gaps and fill them up." Gu Yunli replied.
The inspector was slightly moved when he heard this.
The reason why the Immortal Court allows the existence of elves and alchemists is because they almost constitute the grassroots of the Immortal Court.
It should be noted that not all problems can be solved by land aging.
For example: people losing things, geomancy to find grave sites, Yang houses and Yin houses... and so on.
The God of Land doesn't want to get involved, nor can he, with these trivial matters.
However, it is most appropriate to leave it to the spirit medium.
Gu Yunli's proposal at this time was obviously out of consideration for the people, and it is no wonder that the inspector was quite moved.
"My dear brother, you are loyal to your duty. I admire you. When I see Lord Li again, I will definitely ask for it for you."
"Sorry to bother you, Brother He."
Gu Yunli's face was full of gratitude.
The two then chatted for a while before heading to the Yin and Yang Division together.
After entering the Yin-Yang Division, Gu Yunli, who had been reminded by the Inspector, was able to remain calm when he saw the two Li Sigongs.
"Gu Yunli, the land master of Tian'an Temple, pays homage to Lord Li!"
"Are you the Lord of the Internet of Prayers—Gu Yunli?"
One of them, Li Sigong, looked up, his eyes full of depth and scrutiny.
"Exactly."
"You are so bold, Gu Yunli. Do you know that you have violated the rules of the Immortal Court?"
Li Sigong suddenly uttered a thunderous tongue!
With such an angry shout, not to mention Gu Yunli, even the inspector was so shocked that he looked up in astonishment.
"May I ask Lord Li, which immortal rule did I violate?"
Gu Yunli asked calmly without any ripples.
"Do you know that the Immortal Court strictly prohibits ghosts from communicating with mortals?"
"Of course I know."
"If you know this, why do you still allow ghosts and mortals to communicate freely through the Internet?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the inspector suddenly realized what was going on and his face changed drastically.
broken!
Gu Yunli actually violated the immortal rules!
