Chapter 209 The Biggest Anomaly in the World
"The Buddha once said that although the calamity has come, the laws of nature are impermanent, and human hearts can change, and so can the calamity. If we can lead people with the Dharma and transform the world with compassion, the calamity will disappear and all living beings will be saved."
Mingyuan Zhulong's voice was deep and somewhat bewitching: "So the Buddha wants to join hands with me to kill the person who caused the disaster - Gu Yunli."
Hearing this, Gu Yunli secretly exclaimed in his heart, as expected.
It is true that there is a high possibility that Mingyuan Zhulong is instigating discord, but the possibility of them joining forces to kill him is also not small.
The existence of the interconnected secret realm can threaten the demon race, and it can also threaten Buddhism.
It poses an even greater threat to Buddhism.
Because Gu Yunli was nominally the Buddha of No Light, a disciple of Buddhism, and his missionary work in Xiniu Hezhou encountered almost no resistance.
If we put ourselves in his shoes, if he were Buddha, he would probably be anxious too.
In his agitated state, Gu Yunli asked again, "What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"
Mingyuan Zhulong smiled and said, "Although the stars are a great disaster, they are also a sign of the rise of Buddhism. How can we give up the great prosperity because of the fear of disaster? I have admired Buddhism for a long time, and I am willing to help fellow Taoists eliminate the obstacles to the great prosperity, lead Buddhism, and contribute to the prosperity of the world!"
After these words were spoken, Gu Yunli had a blank expression on his face, but he secretly sighed in his heart that Mingyuan Zhulong really had a good idea.
If the Buddha died, Buddhism would inevitably fall apart. With his current power and strength, he would most likely be able to dominate the world and take the lead in Buddhism.
Of course, Mingyuan Zhulong's words were not well-intentioned.
If Buddhism falls apart, half of Xiniu Hezhou may fall into the hands of the demon clan or even the immortal court.
Gu Yunli's thoughts turned, and he said with a fake smile: "Aniruddha Buddha is the owner of Xiniu Hezhou, and he is not an easy person to deal with. If you have the ability to kill him, why would you wait until today?"
Mingyuan Zhulong: "So this requires the cooperation of fellow Daoist. I have a 50% chance of success. Opportunities cannot be missed. Fellow Daoist, please consider this carefully."
Gu Yunli fell silent for a long time and asked, "What do you want, fellow Daoist?"
"The world is still unsettled, isn't it too early for you and me to think about these things?"
"It is precisely because the world is still uncertain that I have to weigh the pros and cons carefully."
"Well! I want to obtain the source of the counting sticks and the Ciyun Dharma Realm."
"The source of counting sticks is easy to explain, but... the Ciyun Dharma Realm is not possible!"
Gu Yunli refused decisively.
"The Ciyun Realm is originally under the rule of my demon clan, so it would be best if it were returned to my demon clan. Otherwise... Do you think you can protect the Ciyun Realm?"
Mingyuan Zhulong said coldly.
Gu Yunli simply said, "I was granted the Ciyun Dharma Realm, which is the orthodox fiefdom. If I cede it to you, how can I explain to the Buddhist sect and even the players in the secret realm? In my opinion, Huiyu Zen Realm can be given to you."
"Huiyu Zen Realm?"
Mingyuan Zhulong's expression changed slightly. This place is located in the south of Xiniuhezhou, adjacent to Nanzhanbuzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Court.
Gu Yunli promised this territory, clearly intending to use it to resist Xuanmen's attack.
"Do you think I'm a fool, fellow Daoist?"
The body of the Netherworld Candle Dragon was surrounded, with its dragon whiskers flying, appearing extremely angry.
"Although Xiniu Hezhou is large, all of them are owned by someone else. There is only Huiyu Zen Realm, which is the easiest for you to take!"
"Really? I don't need you to worry! I want the Heavenly Sound Realm..."
Tianyin Dharma Realm is adjacent to Huiyu Zen Realm, and its location is not very advantageous, but compared to Huiyu Zen Realm, it finally does not have to face the Southern Continent directly.
Mingyuan Zhulong's words have already meant a concession.
Gu Yunli frowned, bargained again, and finally decided to cede the Tianyin Realm.
After the two sides finished their discussion, they immediately swore an oath of alliance on the basis of the Great Dao.
The content of the covenant includes, but is not limited to, not leaking secrets to others, not actively attacking each other unless life and death are threatened... and so on.
After the covenant was finalized, the figure of Mingyuan Zhulong faded away.
At the same time, the mysterious power shrouding the surroundings gradually dissipated!
"call--"
Gu Yunli looked around, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he continued to walk towards the small Zen temple.
A thousand miles of land can be reached in the blink of an eye.
Looking into the distance, you can see undulating mountains under the blue sky, dotted with lush green trees, as if green brocade was spread across the earth.
In this ocean of green, magnificent temples stand tall, with their golden roofs sparkling in the sun like stars, flashing a mysterious and solemn light.
At the foot of the mountain, terraces are stacked one after another, like fingerprints of the earth, with farmers cultivating the fields.
If you don’t know the situation, you would think you have come to a Buddhist holy land.
Unfortunately, the demonic aura rising into the sky made it impossible for Gu Yunli to appreciate it no matter what.
He fell calmly.
Before anyone arrived, a young monk came to greet them: "Master Yunli, please come in!"
Gu Yunli looked at the evil spirit in front of him, whose body was entangled with Buddha's light and demonic energy, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Led by the young monk, Gu Yunli entered the Zen room.
Inside the Zen room, under the ink-splashed Buddha painting, Aniruddha Buddha was already sitting cross-legged. Although the Buddha's light was dimmed, it still made people feel awe.
"Master Yunli is worthy of being the reincarnation of Wuguang. It seems that he has already comprehended the highest Buddhist principles in the state of Nirvana. Now, after only being in charge of Ciyun for a year, he has saved countless sentient beings and made the demon clan tremble with fear. Good! Good! Great!"
Aniruddha Buddha seemed to be in high spirits and began to praise highly.
Gu Yunli put his hands together and bowed to the Buddha: "Amitabha, this is the Buddha's light shining everywhere, and people's hearts are inclined to goodness!"
Aniruddha Buddha nodded and asked a few more questions about the situation of Ciyun Dharma Realm, and Gu Yunli answered them one by one.
Not long after, a novice monk came to report that the envoy from Uttarakuru had arrived.
Gu Yunli looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man walking in briskly. He had a face as fair as jade, red lips and white teeth.
"Kuimen Sifu, I pay my respects to the Buddha and meet Master Yunli!"
When the young man entered the hall, he bowed and greeted everyone, but his eyes fell on Gu Yunli. He looked him up and down, appearing very curious.
Seeing this, Gu Yunli sneered coldly: "So you are Kuimen Sifu, I have heard of your name for a long time! Zhulong actually sent you here, is there no one else under your command who can be used?"
Si Fu's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "King against king, soldier against soldier, this time we will cross the Xiniu Hezhou to the south, this boy is enough!"
Gu Yunli nodded: "That makes sense. I will never kill a player, so it is reasonable to call me a king."
Just as Sifu was about to retort, Aniruddha Buddha spoke up, "Sit down. Sifu, did you bring the letter from Zhulong?"
"It's natural!"
Si Fu glanced at Gu Yunli coldly, then handed him a jade slip with both hands.
Aniruddha Buddha picked it up out of thin air, scanned it with his mind, and then handed it to Gu Yunli.
Gu Yunli took it, checked it, and sneered: "Ciyun Dharma Realm is the blessed land of our Buddhist sect. When did it become the land of your demon clan?"
Si Fu smiled and said, "The evidence is all in the handwritten letter. If you don't believe it, the Buddha is right in front of you. Just ask the Buddha to answer your questions and resolve your doubts."
Gu Yunli looked towards Aniruddha Buddha.
Aniruddha Buddha's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "The sea of history is digging up the dusty secrets. These are all old stories. If they are true, Uttarakuru is also the territory of our Buddhist sect!"
Si Fu's expression changed drastically: "Is the Buddha going to deny the contract he signed with his own hands?"
Aniruddha Buddha: "No, it's just that this contract was made thousands of years ago. How can it be used as evidence for the current territorial division?"
Si Fu's face was gloomy, but he remained calm and argued with reason.
Gu Yunli watched this scene in silence. He was supposed to be a party with interests, but he had become a supporting role in the negotiations.
After an unknown amount of time, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
——The demon race will withdraw from the Ciyun Realm in exchange for the withdrawal of players from the Interconnected Secret Realm. In addition, there are several other conditions.
For example, the scriptures and magical instruments looted by the demon clan in the Ciyu Dharma Realm must be returned... and so on.
After both sides had reached an agreement, Aniruddha Buddha then asked Gu Yunli: "Master Yunli, what do you think?"
Gu Yunli replied: "It all depends on the Buddha!"
"Great!"
"Please leave your seal on this, Buddha and Master Yunli!"
Si Fu reached into his arms, took out a scroll, shook it violently, unfolded it, and waved it to Gu Yunli.
The scroll is like water, calm as the abyss.
Gu Yunli looked at the scroll in front of him, reached out and pressed it with an expressionless face.
Instantly, he felt a bit of his spirituality flowing through his fingertips.
The scroll immediately floated towards Aniruddha.
The Buddha’s left hand is in the Acalanatha mudra, and his right hand is placed on his right knee, with his fingers touching the scroll, seemingly doing it casually, or in the mudra of subduing demons.
As soon as the fingertip touched the scroll, a piece of the fingertip emerged from the scroll, like a mirror image.
When two fingers are placed together, they penetrate the world faintly and confront each other!
Upon seeing this, Gu Yunli put his hands together without hesitation, and an infinite stream of light poured out from his body and manifested from behind him. In the blink of an eye, the Buddha's incarnation condensed into shape, and he raised his Buddha's palm and slapped it towards... Si Fu!
"Gu Yunli——"
Si Fu's face suddenly changed, one full of disbelief.
Gu Yunli had a blank expression on his face. His giant palm roared down, and in an instant, Si Fu and the meditation room were reduced to ruins.
"why?"
An unbelievable sound came from the palm of my hand.
Gu Yunli could feel that Si Fu had already turned into meat paste, and the screaming came from his soul that was unwilling to die.
"Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts! Whether it is the Immortal Court or the Buddhist Sect, this world must rot into a pile of rotten meat in the hands of the human race."
Gu Yunli said in a deep voice.
——It turned out that when Mingyuan Zhulong was discussing in detail, he informed Aniruddha Buddha through the Internet.
Regardless of whether Mingyuan Zhulong's words were true or not, he would just regard them as an attempt to sow discord, and he believed that Aniruddha Buddha would also accept this result.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Si Fu burst into incredible laughter upon hearing this; the sound was weird and hysterical.
Gu Yunli said nothing, but frantically urged the Great Nirvana to grind the evil soul of this boy.
"Aniruddha Buddha, when you talked about the Star Calamity, I did not believe it. I just thought it was an excuse to kill dissidents. Now it seems that I believe it! Compared to you, Master Yunli is more suitable to become a Buddha."
When Gu Yunli heard this, his brows suddenly frowned.
Before he could speak, Si Fu, no, it should be Mingyuan Zhulong, suddenly said, "Analut, why don't you make a move!"
Gu Yunli's face changed drastically and he suddenly looked at Aniruddha Buddha.
Then, Aniruddha Buddha, who had always had a blank expression on his face, had a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yunli.
"mercy!"
He quietly uttered some profound words, pointed at the right hand of the scroll with the Demon-Subduing Seal, and suddenly changed his fingers into hands, grabbing towards the mirrored palm.
At first glance, it looks like a hand emerges from the scroll and shakes hands with the Buddha.
"Buddha, you are..."
Gu Yunli's face changed drastically.
"Hahaha, can't you see, Master Yunli? Our alliance is fake, and I am using this to trick you into leaving a mark. This is the Netherworld Samsara Scroll. The one who leaves the mark can trace back to the original body. No matter where you hide, you will not be able to escape the Netherworld Samsara Scroll's pursuit."
Mingyuan Zhulong laughed loudly, with a hint of relief and pride in his voice.
"why?"
Gu Yunli looked at Aniruddha in disbelief.
Aniruddha Buddha did not answer. He looked at the Netherworld Samsara Scroll with a dim gaze. The Buddha's light was restrained throughout his body, and infinite power poured into the scroll. He vowed to pull out Gu Yunli's real body.
"Don't you understand? Master Yunli, you are the biggest variable in this world! If you were alive, even if you were only at the level of a bodhisattva, I would find it difficult to see through you. I believe the same is true for Aniruddha. Only when you die, can everything return to normal for us."
Gu Yunli was shocked when he heard this.
I finally understand the underlying logic of Aniruddha and Master Mingyuan.
If Gu Yunli dies, Xiniu Hezhou will return to normal, Beijuluzhou will still occupy the Ciyu Dharma Realm at most, and Buddhism will still dominate Xiniu Hezhou.
The struggle between the two sides will return to the starting point.
Both the Buddhists and the demon race were obviously confident, and they gradually gained the upper hand over a long period of time.
At the very least, there won't be drastic changes.
This is actually enough for them who have enjoyed the spiritual practice resources of almost a large state.
In this world where great power is bestowed upon one person, one's own strength is the most important thing.
However, if Gu Yunli did not die, no matter whether he helped Buddhism or the demon clan, it would be a huge variable for the other side.
Even if Gu Yunli was only at the Bodhisattva level, they did not have the confidence to suppress him.
After all, he was growing too fast.
The secret world of the Internet is too scary.
Gu Yunli, who had figured out the whole thing, chuckled:
"The Immortal Court wants me dead, the demon clan wants me dead, and now even the Buddhist sect wants me dead. Haha, it seems that I am the biggest alien in this world."
"You're right. When the Internet came out, all organizations in the world were gloomy. Now there's the Internet Secret Realm... Hehe, I'm afraid that if we don't take action, the Immortal Court will find a chance to take action."
Mingyuan Zhulong commented.
Gu Yunli smiled: "It seems that I am really honored!"
As the two were talking, Aniruddha's expression suddenly changed.
"Zhulong, help me!"
"Ok?"
Mingyuan Zhulong looked at it in astonishment, and saw that Aniruddha's Buddha light was restrained, as if it was made of gold. He was trying his best to grasp the arm in the Netherworld Samsara Scroll and pull it out.
So much so that he could no longer maintain his solemn sitting cross-legged posture, like an old farmer drawing water, and before he knew it, he had assumed a horse stance. The absurdity of his posture was shocking!
"How to be friendly!"
Zhulong exclaimed in praise, and the sky and earth suddenly darkened.
Then, outside the Zen room that had collapsed under the attack of Gu Yunli's Buddha incarnation, a giant dragon stretching for ten thousand feet was seen entwining the small Zen temple layer by layer, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, blocking out the light of heaven and earth.
A pair of golden pupils lit up from the sky, replacing the light of the sun and the moon.
Then, between the sun and the moon, a scarlet tongue suddenly dropped down, wrapped around the arm in the Netherworld Reincarnation Scroll, and pulled it out frantically.
In order to completely wipe out Gu Yunli, both Aniruddha and Zhulong have disregarded their image and used all their strength!
