Chapter 182 Open Source Software?
After a while, a rainbow bridge appeared from the Huacheng Temple, and countless monks came out one after another. Leading the way was a monk wearing a crown and necklace, holding a jewel in his left hand and a staff in his right hand. His steps seemed slow but were actually fast, and he arrived in front of him in an instant.
"Amitabha, I have long heard that Master Wu Guang has returned from Nirvana. It is such an honor to meet him today!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva holds one hand upright, with a jewel in the palm of his hand suspended in the air, fluctuating.
"This is also an honor for me!"
Gu Yunli clasped his hands together in return, and then at the invitation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he stepped on the rainbow bridge and headed towards Huacheng Temple.
After entering the main hall, the guests took their seats, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva congratulated Gu Yunli on escaping the sea of suffering.
Gu Yunli didn’t know whether this sea of suffering referred to a thousand years of silence or the shackles of the Immortal Court, but he just responded politely anyway.
After some pleasantries, Gu Yunli said, "I have long heard that there is a great treasure in the netherworld, called the Six Paths of Reincarnation Platform. May I come closer and take a closer look?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "This treasure is related to the operation of the netherworld. Do not look at it or play with it unless necessary."
Gu Yunli: "Oh, so the rumor is true, this treasure contains the way of reincarnation, and can make all living beings reincarnate?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt puzzled. Ever since he made the vow that he would not attain Buddhahood until hell was empty and had been in charge of the rules governing the underworld with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, this matter had been no secret in Buddhism.
Why is the Buddha of No Light still regarded as a “legend”?
Is he testing something?
"The Netherworld has been running for thousands of years, so this matter must be true."
"Wonderful! I have a treasure called the Purple Lotus Seed of Samsara, which needs to be nourished by the Great Way of Samsara. I am willing to open my private attribute panel to the Master in exchange for nourishment from the Six Paths of Samsara. How do you think?"
Gu Yunli raised his hand and held a purple lotus seed in his palm.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly, with a hint of greed flashing across it.
His path to becoming a Buddha lies in reincarnation, which is his greatest confidence in ruling the underworld, but also the greatest shackle on his path to becoming a Buddha.
If you can obtain this lotus seed, you will perfect the path of reincarnation and your hope of becoming a Buddha will greatly increase.
"Since the Master is cultivating the Great Nirvana, why bother nourishing the things of the heretics?"
"You are wrong. I have been reborn from Nirvana and have seen the Great Dao crush me. The Buddha's heart is easily damaged. If I can be protected by the Purple Lotus of Samsara, I will be safe."
"I have a treasure called the Nirvana Pearl, which can also ensure that you will attain Nirvana safely."
Gu Yunli shook his head: "After all, acquired things are not as good as innate spiritual essence. Can you lend this treasure to the mage for contemplation and return it to me after it blooms?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was surprised: "Master, do you believe in me?"
Gu Yunli shook his head: "If you don't believe me, you need to use a magic treasure as collateral!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's face immediately darkened. That's right. A thousand years ago, their relationship was just average. A thousand years later, how could she be willing to leave this treasure with him?
"I am cultivating the way of reincarnation, and this treasure is in line with this path. Master, why don't you help me achieve my goal? I am willing to exchange all my treasures for it."
"Really? Six Paths of Reincarnation, Master, are you willing?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s face turned dark.
"What about the Mani Pearl? The Nine-ring Staff?"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said nothing.
Gu Yunli sighed, said no more, stood up and left.
"Wait a minute! The master came here to borrow the Six Paths of Reincarnation Platform to nourish the purple lotus seeds. Is it true that he wants to covet my Mani Pearl?"
"how you said that?"
"The bright pearl shines through the net of heaven, and the staff shakes open the gate of hell. The mage was once surrounded and killed by the immortals. How could he not learn from this failure?"
"So what?"
"Master Wu Guang has brought great dignity to our Buddhist sect. How can a poor monk cherish his own little things?"
Gu Yunli was stunned when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, the flowers I planted with care did not bloom, but the willows I planted by accident grew into a shade.
A useless thing was actually exchanged for a Buddhist treasure?
However, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that although the Purple Lotus Seeds of Samsara are precious to other Bodhisattvas, they are still slightly inferior to the Mani Pearls.
But for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this object represents the possibility of attaining Buddhahood.
In the past, this item was in the hands of Xuanmen, and it was almost impossible to obtain it. Now that it has been delivered to me by chance, if I don’t take it, I’m afraid I will regret it in the long years to come.
For Gu Yunli, exchanging a useless item for a treasure that could break the formation was a win-win situation.
Therefore, Gu Yunli agreed decisively.
After the two sides exchanged treasures, Gu Yunli said goodbye and left.
Unexpectedly, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wanted to keep us, saying that they could discuss Buddhism and Zen with each other.
However, although he said he was meditating, in fact, he was inquiring about the affairs of Jambudvīpa, especially the City God of the underworld, and asked many questions.
Many of these are details that are unknown to outsiders.
Depending on the situation, Gu Yunli also took the opportunity to find out a lot of information.
After the conversation, I benefited a lot.
After bidding farewell to Jiuhua Mountain, Gu Yunli randomly found a secret corner, settled down, and began to refine the Mani Pearl.
This pearl is as pure as crystal and is surrounded by red flames.
It is rumored that it was transformed from Buddha's relics and therefore has incredible magical uses.
Magic power was injected into it, the flames expanded, and light shone all around, and an indescribable pure cleansing force field spread out.
So much so that Gu Yunli's path to great nirvana was distorted in it, and the magic of his formation-breaking skills was also distorted in it.
"It is indeed a treasure of Buddhism. With this item, my safety factor is greatly increased!"
Gu Yunli breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, a message from the Southern Continent made him frown suddenly.
"Gu Zhenzai, Emperor Qingxu has taken away all the video owners. What should I do?"
The message was sent by the little fox fairy. When Gu Yunli saw it, his heart moved and he quickly logged into the Internet backend.
His brows had not yet relaxed when they were locked together again.
He saw that all the video negatives that he had organized many video creators to shoot were there, but the bad news was that these videos were all fragmented clips.
Without understanding the script, it would be impossible to edit it in a short time.
"Don't panic, Emperor Qingxu just wants those long videos, just cooperate with them."
Gu Yunli replied.
He subconsciously wanted to delete these video materials, but as soon as the thought came to his mind, he hesitated.
Deleting the database and running away is the simplest method;
But if he really deletes the database, the owners of these videos will be in danger.
"That's all!"
Gu Yunli shook his head, comforted the little fox fairy with a few words, allocated her a special point, and then exited the chat interface.
Now that he has rebelled against the Immortal Court, the situation of most of his former subordinates is very worrying.
Fortunately, the Network Palace also served the Earth Phase Network, so after being ransacked by Emperor Qingxu, most of its departments remained intact.
Only a few management members were replaced by people from Beidu Palace.
Most of the top brass were not purged either.
I wonder if Emperor Qingxu is nostalgic for the old times, or is worried about Gu Yunli, who is alone, and is unscrupulously seeking revenge?
However, having said that, Gu Yunli still felt a little ashamed towards these old subordinates. Apart from giving them special points as compensation, he could do nothing else to help them.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunli, who originally wanted to rebuild the Internet Palace, suddenly became a little uninterested.
"Forget it. Instead of working so hard to build the Internet Palace, it is better to outsource the review part. As for the functional updates of the major sections... maybe it is time to open source the software."
