Chapter 213: Star Sea Shock
Many viewers don’t know that when they watched this incident from Gu Yunli’s perspective, they had already subconsciously stood on Gu Yunli’s side. How could their thoughts not be biased towards Gu Yunli?
Of course, the most crucial reason was that Gu Yunli was safe and sound under the siege of three powerful men.
Admiring the strong is human nature, becoming stronger is a basic need!
In the face of absolute strength, there will always be great scholars debating.
In fact, as Gu Yunli's announcement spread, the matter had become increasingly serious.
Even the loyal believers of Xuan Fo began to waver after watching these videos.
Yes, look at Jambu Continent today, the gods are always the same gods, so what is the meaning of their cultivation?
Just to ascend to become a sixth-rank immortal official and continue to work like a slave in the immortal court?
Also, what the Buddha said, that one must go through three kalpas and a hundred difficulties to become a Buddhist, is this definitely true?
If this is true, why are there so few Buddhas born so far?
Could it be that all this is just a huge lie told by these vested interests for their own benefit?
They say open conspiracy has no solution!
In fact, conspiracy theories are even more unsolvable.
Especially for ordinary people with limited vision.
The moment conspiracy theories are born, they will not only become discussants of these conspiracy theories, but also their disseminators and even supporters.
Countless people finally found the root cause of their mediocrity.
Everything is a conspiracy of the gods and Buddhas.
They are the ones who control the resources, the information, and the upward channels, all just to keep themselves on top forever.
For a time, the news about Gu Yunli's words and deeds spread farther and farther, and people's hearts became more and more shaken.
……
There is a Buddhist temple on Qingyan Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou, named Dajue Temple, which is a well-known Buddhist Zen sect in the Four Noble Truths Zen realm.
Rumor has it that the old abbot has attained the status of Arhat and is very famous.
At this time, the abbot's Zen temple after early autumn looked particularly desolate. Under the tall mountain banyan tree, the fallen leaves were like a carpet. The old abbot sat cross-legged on it, meditating silently.
"Squeak-"
There was a slight sound of a door being pushed open, and a young monk looked in stealthily. When he saw the old abbot, his face lit up with joy, and he slowly squeezed in, then closed the door behind him.
He tiptoed up to the old abbot without saying a word.
"call……"
After an unknown amount of time, the old abbot opened his eyes and said calmly, "The false mind covers the true mind, and the foolish thoughts increase day by day. Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit?"
The little monk was delighted: "Master, you know everything?"
The old abbot looked at the young monk lovingly and said, "It's all written on his face!"
"what?"
The young monk looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, it is widely rumored on the Internet that the Buddhist teachings taught at Lingshan are incomplete. What do you think, Master?"
The old abbot shook his head and said, "The Buddha said, 'Diligently cultivate precepts, concentration and wisdom, and put an end to greed, anger and ignorance. You, after all, have fallen into the poison of greed."
If it were in the past, the young monk would have clasped his hands in agreement, but now he asked, "Master, could greed, anger, and ignorance be the prohibitions and dogmas that bind us in Lingshan? There is a saying in Xuanmen that the great ways compete with each other. If Buddhism takes it seriously, then why can Xuanmen cultivate Daluo Jinxian and become the common master of the three realms?"
As soon as these words came out, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in the old abbot's cloudy eyes, and he even felt a little panic deep in his heart.
"Where did you learn this twisted theory?"
"I read it on the Internet."
The old abbot raised his hand and was about to say something, but stopped abruptly as he opened his mouth.
He has practiced Buddhism for many decades and has now attained the status of Arhat. He does not know what to do next.
In the past, he would have only felt that his Buddha nature was insufficient;
But now... he was confused.
After a long while, he gave an ambiguous answer that was not an answer:
"The Buddha said: If you feel that there is truth and delusion, it is still delusion and you should stay away from it! What is truth and what is delusion? Everything is created by the mind."
"Only mind creates?"
The young monk murmured to himself, with an expression that seemed to indicate he had realized something.
What is delusion? What is truth?
Obviously, it's all his choice.
"Disciple understands."
The young monk clasped his hands together, bowed to the Buddha, and turned to leave.
Understood?
A hint of surprise flashed across the old abbot's eyes. He remained motionless, but his mind had already followed his disciple.
After the little monk left the Zen temple, he quickly returned to his own room, sat cross-legged with his hands tucked into his sleeves, and soon he began to breathe deeply.
This is...on the Internet?
The old abbot looked somewhat helpless. Since the advent of the Internet, the disciples in the temple have become much more hardworking.
Apart from the necessary homework and activities every day, I often sit in the meditation room for the whole day, and I don’t know whether I am meditating or surfing the Internet.
However, compared to his disciples surfing the Internet, the old abbot is more worried about...whether his most eccentric disciple will join the secret world of the Internet?
Is what he said about understanding just false?
Or is it true?
Or in other words, delusion is truth and truth is delusion?
The old abbot withdrew his gaze silently.
He sadly discovered that the Arhat status both made him successful and bound him.
Faced with the interconnected secret realm, he didn't dare to try the fragments of the avenue.
Perhaps when the first Arhat Buddha is born in the secret realm of the Internet, he will be tempted, but by then, will it be too late?
At this moment, the old abbot was in a trance and fell into the dilemma of a doctor finding it difficult to heal himself.
……
After the young monk returned to his monastery, he immediately sent messages to Little Bird, River of Blood, and Demon-Breaking Heavenly Lord.
"Online, online!"
After saying that, he landed and left.
Unexpectedly, the familiar login interface disappeared abruptly, and a strange pop-up window appeared in front of me.
[Check that you have a carrier in Northern Juluzhou, please select the login location? ]
——Secret time and space.
——Uttarakuru.
"Secret space and time?"
The young monk was stunned. Just as he was about to click on the question mark behind the Secret Realm of Time and Space, the Demon-Breaking Lord sent a message.
"Beet, after entering the secret space and time, choose Mars."
"What's the matter?"
"You can choose if you want. Everyone will gather on Mars."
The little monk, no, it should be said beet, clicked on the secret realm of time and space in a daze.
In an instant, the familiar colored channel appeared again.
The next second, a strange and unimaginable world suddenly opened up before his eyes.
He seemed to be surrounded by a sea of stars.
The stars in the sky are like gems, dotted on the deep night sky, and the starlight is like silver threads interweaving in the darkness.
As he was lost in thought, the stars lit up and subtitles appeared on them.
Looking closely, it turned out to be the introduction of some planets, namely:
——Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn.
"So this is the Mars that Devil Breaker mentioned?"
Beet suddenly realized what was going on. He tried to click on other planets remotely and was surprised to find that subtitles also popped up.
——[Insufficient authority, unable to explore]
"Permission? What does this mean? Status level? In other words, the secret space-time has more than just five stars, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?"
Beet tried to click on some planets while thinking about it, but after finding that all of them popped up a pop-up window saying that he did not have enough permissions, he stopped trying and decisively chose Mars. The moment he clicked the OK button, his vision quickly flew to Mars.
At this moment, he was horrified to find that the seemingly small Mars was getting bigger and bigger as he approached.
It wasn't until he saw the clouds floating over Mars that he felt as if struck by lightning.
What did he realize in his trance?
Sure enough, as his vision passed through the clouds, a magnificent world appeared in his sight.
A jewel-blue ocean, winding mountains, a dim desert, and even vast forests.
These scenes made him vaguely think of the extraterritorial demon that Gu Zhenzai had mentioned.
The concept of the world has never been presented so clearly.
It turns out that the world they live in is just an inconspicuous star, and the so-called extraterritorial demons are creatures outside the stars.
In a trance, a plain appeared before his eyes, and on the plain stood a huge city.
In the center of the city stands a towering tower that reaches into the sky.
There are coiled dragons surrounding the Huanbiao, and on the top there is a stone sculpture of a figure roaring towards the sky, sitting north and facing south, returning to the king.
At this time, countless players were active in the square around Huanbiao.
Beet thought he was falling from the sky, but found that no one was looking at him. Only after he landed did his lost six senses gradually return. Looking down, he discovered that countless rays of light were gathering from all around, entwining with each other to form his body.
However, this is not his real appearance, but the appearance of the doll he made when he first logged into the secret realm of the Internet.
It is worth mentioning that this time it is no longer an earth puppet.
It looked like a living person, and he could even feel its beating heart.
"call--"
He took a deep breath, but the scene of his trip kept flashing through his mind, and he couldn't extricate himself for a while!
It was not until the Demon-Breaking Heavenly Lord sent him a message that he gradually regained his composure.
"Reached?"
"arrive!"
"Where is it? Forget it, wait for me under the Huanbiao."
"it is good!"
Beet replied, now feeling in the mood to look around.
At this moment, the surroundings looked very much like the scene in Ciyu Temple, with players constantly appearing out of nowhere.
After everyone showed up, they seemed very excited.
Some are as dumb as a wooden chicken;
Some breathe deeply;
There are also some who keep saying...
It looks so festive that even Beetroot couldn't help but smile.
"beet?"
Not long after, the Demon-Breaking Lord hurried over.
Beet frowned, looked at him for a while, and then said, "Are you the Demon-Breaking Heavenly Lord? You look different!"
Indeed, compared to the yellowish earth puppet, the Demon-Breaking Heavenly Lord who has regained his human form looks like a suave scholar.
I guess the beets are mostly pinched.
"You're different too!"
Devil Breaker rolled his eyes, then said excitedly, "Did you see the starry sky when you came here?"
"I saw it..."
"Fuck, this is incredible. Some people say that all the stars in the sky are inhabited by people, and we are just one of them. Do you think it's true?"
"I think... it's pretty close!"
"I think so too! The world is so big!"
The Demon-Breaking Lord had a look of shock on his face as if he had discovered the truth about the world, and his face was full of aftertaste.
The two discussed for a long time before Beet suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where are Little Bird and River of Blood?"
"Oh, don't mention it. The little bird went to Jupiter, and the river of blood went to Venus. Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise we wouldn't have met."
"Ah? Then we won't be able to meet again?"
"Yes, I checked the forum. There is a teleportation array in the main city that can be used to teleport to other planets. However, the price is very expensive. It costs one thousand credits."
"So expensive?"
"Yes, Xiao Xiaoniao means that, in this case, why don't we explore the conditions of each planet separately and then decide which planet to teleport to."
"Then why did you ask me to come to Mars?"
"There are only four of us, and we can't see all five planets. We also have to go to the forum to collect information. It's a bit uncomfortable for me to be alone on Mars."
The Demon-Breaking Lord said with a grin.
Beet let out an "oh" and seriously suspected that Demon-Breaking Heavenly Venerable might not be very old.
The two chatted for a while, and after making sure that everyone was online in the team channel, they had some discussion and then started exploring on their own.
We decided to wait until we had figured out the differences between the planets before getting together to discuss the next plan.
……
When Beet and his friends were exploring the five major planets, the emergence of the secret space-time, as well as the scenes and scale it displayed, were like adding fuel to the fire, making the public opinion war between major networks white-hot.
"No, the outer domain of the outer domain demon is the outer domain of the sky full of stars? I thought it was the fifth continent outside the four major continents?"
"It's unbelievable! Aren't the stars in the sky small? How can they be so big?"
"A star is as big as our world? Doesn't this mean that there are countless worlds in the sky?"
"Shit, this is what the Three Pure Ones meant by the Three Thousand Worlds!"
"Fuck! The Immortal Court really lied to us!"
"I feel like the world we live in now is like the county town where I live now, and the Immortal Court is like the county government. They deliberately set up checkpoints on the official roads and don't allow us to move around. Their purpose is to make us farm the land and pay taxes for our whole lives."
"The metaphor above made it clear to me!"
Originally, people had no intuitive concept of the extraterritorial demons, and many people even imagined it to be a fifth continent outside the four major continents!
However, with the emergence of the secret realm and time, everyone suddenly gained a new understanding of the world.
Although the Immortal Court is trying hard to dispel the rumors.
But under the conspiracy theory, these rumor refutations are just adding fuel to the conspiracy theory.
I don't know how many immortal officials in the Immortal Court, after seeing the video circulating on the Internet, chose to log in to the secret realm of the Internet in hesitation, and comforted themselves in their hearts, without the need for fragments of the Great Dao.
With the influx of a large number of new users, the popularity of the Secret Realm Forum has increased exponentially.
In addition to discussions about the truth of the world, extraterritorial demons, conspiracies in the immortal court, etc., the existence of the secret realm of time and space has also aroused the interest of many people.
"Where exactly is the secret space-time? Could it be among the stars in the sky?"
"I am not very talented, but I know a little about astrology. Judging from the star map, the secret space-time should not belong to the galaxy we see?"
"I feel like it's one of the Star Seas. Don't forget, the Immortal Court is still blocking our way!"
"Illusion, right? If this is real, why are our bodies so realistic? They don't even look like illusions."
"I don't think it's an illusion, because my magic power is all there. After exchanging the fragments of the avenue, I can also inherit it in the real world."
Faced with true and false discussions online, Gu Yunli chose to remain silent and did not respond at all.
This was also one of the strategies he decided to implement.
The more explanations, the more loopholes.
In this case, no explanation is required unless necessary.
As I said, under the temptation of interests, there will always be great scholars debating.
Now Gu Yunli has more important things to do.
