Chapter 214: Knowing the Greatness of the Universe

Ciyu Dharma Realm, Ciyu Temple.

Gu Yunli sat cross-legged with a mysterious scroll floating in front of him. If there were any players here, they would definitely look very familiar with it.

It was the magic weapon that Aniruddha and Zhulong used to plot against Gu Yunli - the Scroll of Reincarnation in the Netherworld.

This thing can summon the real body of the Lightless Buddha from the virtual world. Its power is so mysterious that it is incredible!
Gu Yunli was extremely curious about this.

During this period, the computing power has been mobilized to carry out deductions.

We are getting closer and closer to the truth.

[Analysis progress of the Netherworld Reincarnation Scroll—98.7%, 98.8%, 99.5%…100%]

When the progress bar reached 100%, Gu Yunli was shocked and hurriedly went to gain enlightenment.

[Netherworld Reincarnation Scroll]

——Contains the power of the underworld, follows the path of reincarnation, traces back to the previous life, and glimpses the scene of the present life.

“What a powerful Buddhist tool!”

After some realization, Gu Yunli was extremely surprised.

Thanks to the Internet sharing the Dao insights of countless players, Gu Yunli has mastered countless Dao insights. Although most of them are very low-level, they are enough for him to recognize the power of the Netherworld Reincarnation Scroll.

This magical instrument contains the dual paths of "Netherworld" and "Reincarnation".

Using this item can trace back the long river of reincarnation and pursue the target's past and present lives... and even the future.

However, this does not mean that mastering this magic weapon can arbitrarily check other people's past, present and future lives.

Because this thing is more like a fulcrum for prying the avenue, if you want to use it to explore the past and future of others, you need to consume a terrifying amount of mana.

Especially when peeking into the future, the consumption of mana will be at an incredible level.

Gu Yunli estimated that even if Aniruddha and Zhulong joined forces, they might not be able to trace back a person's future.

However, if we do not regard this item as a magical tool for peeking into the past and the future, but simply use it to trace the present life, it will appear much more "down-to-earth".

This is also the reason why Zhulong and Aniruddha were able to summon his original form.

"It's a good thing, but it's not worth much to me!"

Gu Yunli sighed subconsciously, and his thoughts suddenly changed:
"Not necessarily. This thing can be traced by leaving a mark. Now everyone in the world knows that this thing is in my hands. Everyone will be on guard against the Internet, but they don't know that all networks in the world are from the same family. As long as they leave a mark on other networks, the traceability of this thing..."

Thinking of this, Gu Yunli's eyes lit up.

When you think about it this way, this thing can be said to be a must-have weapon for killing people and robbing!
"Ding dong!"

As my thoughts were wandering, an illusory ringing sounded.

Gu Yunli's heart moved, and his figure disappeared immediately. When he appeared again, he was already in a starry sky.

The real starry sky is actually not as beautiful as we imagine.

At a glance, there is no end in sight, front, back, left, right, up, or down, as if falling into an abyss with no end in sight. Even the brilliant galaxy looks like the eyes of evil spirits, staring and whispering in the darkness.

In this empty sea of ​​stars, there is a long table floating.

Ji Zhixian sat at one side of the long table, looking at the sea of ​​stars around him with a dazed gaze, his expression complicated and he didn't know what to think.

Suddenly, he saw Gu Yunli sitting down at the head of the long table. He quickly put away his complicated feelings, stood up, bowed and said:

"Congratulations to Zhenzai, who has broken through to the Golden Immortal realm and has practiced both Xuan and Buddha. He is unrivaled in the world."

Gu Yunli waved his hand and got straight to the point:

"What's the matter with me?"

“True Master…” Ji Zhixian hesitated: “Are you going to give up the Ciyun Dharma Realm temporarily?”

"Why do you say that?"

"Recently, the number of players in Ciyun Temple has decreased significantly. The demons in the mountains are making a comeback. In addition, there are fewer players in the Equipment Refining Factory."

Ji Zhixian said tactfully, in fact, it is more than a lot less? Since the attack of Dragon Bodhisattva on Qingfeng Sect, only one in ten players in the Internet Refining Factory has survived.

He thought the situation would improve as the war ended.

But now, the situation has not only not improved, but has become worse.

"The Ciyun Dharma Realm is located between the Buddhist demon tribes. Originally, it was backed by Buddhism and could be considered a Feng Shui treasure land. Now that Aniruddha has stabbed me in the back, this place has become a rootless place. I am afraid it will be difficult to defend it."

Gu Yunli sighed.

Although he had just returned from Ciyu Temple, in fact, he was not optimistic about the future of Ciyu Temple.

I was thinking in my mind, just treat it as an enclave.

Neither give up nor expand voluntarily. If the Buddhists and demons join forces, just retreat if you cannot defeat them.

His current focus is on operating the interconnected secret realm and cultivating the Fourth Calamity.

It doesn't mean that these players can advance to the next level just by having the fragments of the Dao. In fact, the fragments of the Dao only save them the trouble of gaining insights, and the hard work of practicing is still needed.

This point cannot be seen when one’s realm is low;

It will be particularly obvious when you reach the stage of refining Qi and transforming it into spirit, and need to "collect the great medicine".

"Then can the refinery continue to operate?"

"Let's reduce the scale, focus on the secret space-time, and focus on training talented players. When I have some free time, I will modify the main mission line."

Ji Zhixian nodded, with a strange look on his face.

After a long time, he said, "Zhenzai, most of the villagers in Qinggang Mountain are secret realm players. Thanks to the help of the earth puppets, the lives of many villagers have improved day by day. Most of those who stay in Ciyun Temple are them. If we give up Ciyun Dharma Realm, I wonder how to arrange for these people?"

After hearing this, Gu Yunli frowned.

Ever since his cultivation became more and more advanced, he has actually rarely paid attention to the lower-class people.

Many decisions are made entirely through Internet backend data.

Be they users or players, almost all of them have turned into a series of numbers on his panel.

This decision made him less emotionally distracted.

As the saying goes, "Kindness does not command the army, and righteousness does not command wealth." This is exactly the truth.

But Ji Zhixian's sudden mention of it made him feel a little annoyed for no reason, because he had to face this problem.

Cultivate immortality, cultivate immortality!

After reaching the Golden Immortal stage, one has already achieved a certain level of transcendence.

Feeling angry, ashamed, and sighing, Gu Yunli kicked the ball back: "Do you have any ideas?"

Ji Zhixian stood up and bowed: "If Ciyu Temple leaves, the Ciyu Dharma Realm will inevitably fall into the hands of demons again. The Buddhist sect may not be willing to see this situation, but if we allow Ciyu Temple to grow stronger, the Buddhist demons are very likely to join forces to target us. In my opinion, it is better to break up into small pieces, take the people of Qinggang Mountain as believers, take root in the Ciyu Dharma Realm, and wait for the time when the world will turn upside down. I am not talented, but I am willing to protect this land for the True Lord."

Gu Yunli said nothing, but there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes when he looked at Ji Zhixian.

He didn't know that Ji Zhixian had lived in the Qinggang Mountains for a long time and had developed feelings for them;

Or is he worried that his status would decline after he lost the refinery, so he deliberately fought for power?
Or maybe you don’t want to be completely immersed in the secret world of time and space?

However, no matter which one it is, it is all about deeds rather than intentions. Gu Yunli pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "You have the intention. Then I will leave the Ciyun Dharma Realm to you."

Ji Zhixian bowed and saluted: "I will definitely fulfill my mission." Gu Yunli waved his hand.

Ji Zhixian's figure disappeared immediately, but his backend had a lot more functions.

For example, the task distribution system, and the allocation of points and merits.

This will be his weapon to drive players!
Gu Yunli sat on a chair, looking at the five planets slowly moving in the sea of ​​stars, his heart already filled with ripples because of Ji Zhixian's words.

With an idea in his mind, he activated the mark that Ji Zhixian had left on the Internet and entered it into the Netherworld Reincarnation Scroll. With the operation of his magic power, Ji Zhixian's whereabouts quietly appeared on the scroll.

"I didn't expect it to be used so quickly."

Gu Yunli shook his head.

Previously, if he wanted to monitor users, he could only do so while they were logged on to the Internet.

However, at this time, most of them are not good to look at.

Now, even without going online, we can still monitor, which is really useful.

After Ji Zhixian returned to reality, he started to check the Internet background.

After some understanding, the task was immediately arranged.

It seems that he had obviously thought about it beforehand, and now he is doing it in an orderly manner.

After a long time, after arranging the tasks, he logged out of the Internet and left Ciyu Temple.

It seems that he is packing up his belongings when he is leaving. I'm afraid he won't come back for a while.

That’s right, even Gu Yunli said that Ciyu Temple might not be able to be defended, and staying here at this time would be putting oneself in danger.

After leaving Ciyu Temple, he immediately used his magical powers to escape far away, his speed getting faster and faster. He changed lanes several times and appeared to be extremely cautious.

After a long time, he transformed himself into a wealthy businessman, rode a tall horse, stepped into Pu'nan City, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard.

Seeing Ji Zhixian dismounting and pushing the door as if he was familiar with the place, Gu Yunli raised his eyebrows. Is this his place of seclusion?

Just as I was thinking about it, a young woman with a ponytail and a slightly bulging belly came out: "Husband, you're back!"

What the hell!

Gu Yunli suddenly realized:
"It turns out that you are trapped by love!"

Gu Yunli burst out laughing and became more confused.

Since you are trapped by love, why not send the woman out of the Ciyun Dharma Realm?

Do you feel safer under his nose?

Gu Yunli pondered for a moment and felt that the latter should be the reason.

At the very least, Pu'nan City is the largest city in Ciyuen Dharma Realm. It is the territory of Jingyuan Bodhisattva and the last face of Buddhism in Ciyuen Dharma Realm.

The demon tribe does not have an absolute advantage and will not attack Pu Nan City easily.

It is reasonable to arrange the woman here.

Gu Yunli shook his head and was about to put away the Scroll of Reincarnation in the Netherworld when he caught a glimpse of Pu Nancheng from the corner of his eye and his expression suddenly changed.

……

Today's Pu'nan City seems a little anxious and chaotic.

On the Luodian Street, there was a constant stream of people and spectators, and they saw a group of monks in yellow robes surrounding a newly built Zen temple, looking very aggressive.

Outside the temple with a plaque reading "Yunli Zen Temple", a group of earthen puppets armed with swords, guns, sticks, and even pitchforks and hoes confronted the monks.

"No one can tear it down. If anyone does, I will fight him to death!"

The leading earthen puppet spoke with a local accent and had an angry look on his face.

"Amitabha, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore. Laymen, please do not resist stubbornly. Gu Yunli is a demon from outside the domain. Everything he does is to tempt you. The Buddha has issued a decree to clean up the filth in the world. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The leading monk was a disciple of the Vajra tribe. He was very strong and powerful. He wore a wide monk's robe that was as tight as cowhide. The Thoreau staff in his hand fell to the ground, causing the bluestone on the ground to crack instantly. It was truly horrifying.

"What about the demon from outside the realm? That's all bullshit. I don't believe it! If you have the guts, step over my dead body!"

The leading earth puppet held his head high, looking indifferent.

That’s right. There are earth puppets on both sides. They are immortal and indestructible. There’s nothing to be afraid of!

"Do you know Li Erdan from Dongping Township?"

The monk was not angry when he saw this, but said something meaningful, which made the leading earth puppet's face change drastically.

"How do you know my name?"

The monk smiled, looking at the clay puppet behind Li Erdan, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. You can hide your identities from others, but not from the Buddha. If you don't repent, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion among the crowd.

The Earth Golem gave them the courage to fight against Zen Sound Temple;
But they are not those outside players after all. Their real bodies live in Qinggang Mountains, and their relatives also live there. If they are discovered by Chanyin Temple... the consequences would be unimaginable!
Seeing this, the monk struck while the iron was hot and said:

"Gu Yunli is a demon from outside the region, skilled in the art of bewitching people. Even the Buddha has been deceived by him. It is understandable that you have been deceived by him. If you can repent in time and set things right, Chanyin Temple will forgive you. That's all I have to say. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

As the voice fell, the momentum of the clay puppets guarding outside the Zen temple weakened.

Everyone looked at each other, seeming very hesitant.

What's worse, some have left quietly and blended into the crowd.

The monk smiled upon seeing this, and was about to exert maximum pressure when there was a sudden commotion in the earthen puppet.

Then a clay puppet came over carrying an old grandmother.

When it reached the front of the monk, the earthen puppet went offline and turned into a cold sculpture, but the old grandma on its back opened her eyes.

"Holy monk, please don't destroy this temple. I've been paralyzed for three years. My house has been sold, my daughter-in-law ran away, and my second son is still a bachelor... Now I finally stand up, and you insist that he is a demon. If he is a demon, how could I not know?"

The monk's smug smile gradually faded.

He looked at the old grandmother lying on the back of the clay puppet. Even though he had been practicing Buddhism and his Buddhist faith was strong, he was shaken at this moment.

The old grandmother's words were like a stone falling into a mirror-like lake, creating ripples among the crowd.

"That's right, how could we not know whether Gu Yunli is a demon?"

"Why are you showing off in front of Yunli Zen Temple when you don't catch the monsters that are everywhere outside the city?"

"Now we are demolishing a temple. Will Ciyun Temple be demolished later?"

The boiling public opinion spread among the crowd. The monk looked at the people who were talking about the issue. The accusations were like devil's voice piercing his brain, causing his Buddhist heart to be shaken.

The earth puppets that had quietly dispersed gathered together again for some reason, and there were even more and more of them.

A trace of cold sweat formed on the monk's forehead.

He wanted to use the Buddhist Sanskrit to scold people for their corrupt character, but the Sanskrit sound reached his throat and he couldn't utter it no matter what.

Just as the crowd was about to riot, a ray of Buddha's light suddenly descended from the sky and pierced the clouds.

When the monk looked at it, his legs almost went weak.

But I saw the Buddha's light suddenly fall on the Yunli Zen Temple, and then rippled out, bringing warmth, tranquility and soothing to people's hearts!
Upon seeing this, countless people were so excited that they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Buddha has appeared".
