Chapter 224 Liuyun Temple's Courtesy
Above the fairy court, clouds and mist are lingering, like a veil dancing in the blue sky. The golden light and the morning light are intertwined, sprinkling on the crystal clear glazed tiles, making them sparkle.
In the Beidu Palace, Emperor Qingxu sat cross-legged in the meditation room, silently displaying his magical powers.
He has a technique called the Dao-Guiding Soul-Point Technique.
It is a soul-controlling technique. One only needs to take a little of the target's soul to control the target's life and death.
At this moment, a magic circle was floating in front of his eyes. In the circle was a transparent ghost, floating up and down, and it was obviously controlled by this technique.
Under his control, the puppet successfully logged on to the Internet and signed the Paradise Contract.
After the contract was successfully signed, he thought about it and the puppet disappeared into thin air, both its form and soul were destroyed.
"I want to see what exactly this illusion you're talking about is."
Emperor Qingxu murmured and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
——He was extremely sure that this puppet had completely dissipated between heaven and earth, without any trace left. Even if a Daluo Jinxian came, he would not be able to find any breath of it. He did not believe that such an existence could preserve its illusory body and enter the paradise of heaven.
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, an illusory voice sounded from the mind of another puppet.
"Son, Daddy has really entered the paradise!"
Emperor Qingxu's face changed drastically. He quickly controlled the second puppet, logged into the Internet, and looked at the messages sent in the address book. His face flickered.
After a while, he controlled the second puppet and logged into the interconnected secret realm. Finally, in a mountain village that had already formed a village, he found the first puppet, which had theoretically disappeared.
The two puppets were extremely excited when they met each other. They confided their true feelings to each other and marveled at the magic of the paradise.
Looks like an ordinary person.
Only the Emperor Qingxu, who was hiding in the dark, looked more and more serious the more he looked!
In order to ensure the success of the experiment, every bit of memory of the two puppets was carefully fabricated by him.
The purpose is to ensure that after the puppet's body and soul are destroyed, it will still actively search based on its memory instinct.
He succeeded.
But he would rather the experiment fail.
"It is said that the Buddhist way to Nirvana is neither soul nor spirit, and can last for a thousand years. Could it be that the illusory mind that Gu Yunli mentioned is the way to Nirvana?"
Emperor Qingxu was very knowledgeable and quickly guessed another possibility.
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, looking a little annoyed.
To be honest, up to now, he still doesn't understand what the secret realm of time and space is.
He tried with a puppet. The puppet's body and soul were both there. God knows in what form the puppet entered the secret realm of time and space?
The doubts of Emperor Qingxu are also the doubts of cultivators all over the world.
With the update of Internet version 6.2, the world was in an uproar almost overnight.
"It's unbelievable. Without the three souls and six spirits, what else is left of that person?"
"It must be fake. It's not an illusion, trying to deceive the world, right?"
"Gu Zhenzai shouldn't do this. If this is exposed, the blow to the morale of the Internet will be immeasurable!"
"Heaven is real. My father was seriously ill and had been taking ginseng to survive. After he came out of Heaven, he probably found a way out and passed away overnight. Guess what happened? My father actually sent me a message from the secret realm of time and space, and he even knew everything about me wetting the bed when I was three years old."
"Unbelievable, could it be that the phantom body really exists?"
For a time, countless discussions spread across major forums.
Middle-earth has a large population, and countless people die every day. There is great terror between life and death. Under this terror, no matter how evil the Immortal Court promotes the Internet to be, there are always people who dare to try it.
The word-of-mouth effect brought about by this attempt has grown exponentially.
The communication between the dead and the living has brought about a subversion of people's worldviews, impacting the simple values of countless people.
When they discovered that the Internet could solve matters after death, no one knew in which direction society would evolve based on people's will!
Under this trend, the Immortal Court became anxious.
All major online networks spoke with one voice and cooperated with Taoist temples throughout the world to launch a public opinion war.
The increasingly stringent ban is even more worrying.
During this period of wandering in the wind and rain, Zhao Cunyuan returned to the village.
He thought about his parents' words all night. Although he now has a paradise as a safety net, owning thousands of acres of fertile land is still a bit eye-catching.
But he was somewhat reluctant to sell his thousands of acres of fertile land.
After thinking about it overnight, he came up with a solution.
That is to register these thousand acres of fertile land under Liuyun Temple, but he will be the one to cultivate it. In this way, Liuyun Temple will have an extra income for no reason, and it should not be a problem to protect him.
In fact, he also asked Liu Wengong, a Taoist boy from Liuyun Temple, about this.
After testing his master's attitude, Liu Wengong gave him a positive response.
After returning home, Zhao Cunyuan told his father about this idea, and his father immediately agreed.
After the father and son discussed in a low voice, Zhao Cunyuan immediately went to Liuyun Temple with a century-old ginseng in his pocket.
"Cunyuan, where are you going with this backpack?"
Before leaving the village, Zhao Cunyuan was called by the idle people gathered at the village entrance.
Zhao Cunyuan smiled and bowed when he heard this, "To be honest with you uncles, Liuyun Temple has summoned you for something important, so I have to go there right away, right?"
The villagers at the entrance of the village were greatly surprised when they heard this: "Oh, Liuyun Temple summoned you? Cunyuan has become very successful!"
Zhao Cunyuan smiled: "No, no."
As the two sides exchanged greetings, Aunt Feng came over, pulled Zhao Cunyuan aside, and asked mysteriously:
"Cunyuan, you are the most knowledgeable person. Tell me, what is the paradise on the Internet like? I heard that blind man Zhao next door entered the paradise and even his eyes were healed."
Zhao Cunyuan looked confused: "What paradise?"
"Ah, you don't know yet?"
"what do you know?"
"Well, you can find out by looking on the Internet."
"Auntie has ever logged on to the Internet?"
Aunt Feng looked very proud, spitting all over the place: "Of course not, to be honest with you, I signed a contract for the paradise of heaven, and I can go there when I die. I have never killed anyone or committed any sins in my life, so when I get there, I will definitely get a big house and I won't have to worry about food and drink."
Zhao Cunyuan said anxiously, "Aunt, please be careful with your words. The Immortal Court is investigating this matter now. If someone with ulterior motives gets to know about this..."
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Feng shouted, "If you know, then you know. Who dares to report it? I tell you, once you enter heaven, you will have to settle accounts with your past. Reporting Internet users without authorization is a serious crime. You will go to hell and have your tongue ripped out."
Zhao Cunyuan was stunned.
There is such a rule, how come he doesn’t know it?
If this were true, he probably wouldn't have to go to Liuyun Temple.
As far as he knew, several old men and women in the surrounding area had entered heaven recently, which caused a sensation.
I don’t know how many people were envious of it.
If suicide had not been defined as a serious crime in heaven, some people might have committed suicide because they could not endure the unhappiness of life.
No wonder Aunt Feng is so flamboyant?
Although Zhao Cunyuan understood everything, he still pretended to be confused, with a look of ignorance on his face, and even a hint of vigilance towards the paradise in his words.
"Aunt Feng, there's no such thing as a free lunch. The Internet is like heaven, so you better be careful."
"Oh, so many people are using it and nothing's wrong with it, what could possibly happen? They say a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, how come you're getting older and older?"
Zhao Cunyuan smiled awkwardly and bowed repeatedly: "Aunt Feng, I have to hurry on my way, so I'll take my leave now."
"Go ahead, go! By the way, come visit the paradise when you have time. In the future, we can go to heaven and be neighbors." Zhao Cunyuan, who was very cautious, didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. He could only bow and leave. He thought to himself, I wander around in the secret realm of time and space every day, and you won't be able to see me even if we are neighbors.
After leaving Tianan Village, Zhao Cunyuan entered the official road, logged on to the Internet, and checked the details of the paradise.
Only then did I realize that although the Paradise of Heaven had stated that it would judge everyone who entered, the details of the trial had not been announced. The only thing announced was the crime of blasphemy against the Internet!
For example, reporting the Internet, malicious destruction... and so on.
This does not even include insults to the Internet or even Gu Zhenzai.
His open-mindedness is astonishing.
Seeing this detail, Zhao Cunyuan felt more relaxed.
Unexpectedly, the reporting problem that I was worried about yesterday has now been nearly half resolved.
With the popularity of the Internet in Yong County, I am afraid that everyone is aware of the paradise at this moment. For the sake of one's own return after death, anyone with a little bit of brains should know what to do.
However, even knowing this, Zhao Cunyuan thought about it and decided to go to Liuyun Temple.
To be on the safe side, it is better to affiliate with Liuyun Temple.
A journey of a hundred miles can be reached in the blink of an eye.
From a distance, Zhao Cunyuan saw his good friend Liu Wengong pacing in front of the Taoist temple. As if by telepathy, when he looked up and saw him, he was immediately surprised and hurried over to greet him, and bowed from a distance and said:
"It's been a long time since we last met, buddy. I miss you so much!"
"Haha, that's right! Today we are together, we must drink a thousand cups and reminisce about the past!"
"It's a deal, please!"
At Liu Wengong's invitation, Zhao Cunyuan once again stepped into Liuyun Temple.
To be exact, this was his second visit after he was sent home.
As for the first time...
A sneer flashed in Zhao Cunyuan's eyes.
To this day, he still remembers that time vividly.
That was after he had the advantage of the Internet and had the chance to enter the Taoist sect, and he believed that Liuyun Temple would accept him.
Unexpectedly, I was humiliated in return.
Now when I come back, although I am seeking shelter, my mentality has already been calmed down.
"Hey, fellow Taoist, where are we going?"
As he walked, Zhao Cunyuan felt that something was wrong with the route.
Liu Wengong smiled and said, "To be honest, my master wants to see you."
Zhao Cunyuan frowned, but finally followed silently.
Not long after, the two of them walked into the backyard of Liuyun Temple and stopped in front of a chapel.
"Master, Zhao Cunyuan has arrived."
"come in!"
"Fellow Taoist, please!"
Liu Wen opened the door and invited respectfully.
Zhao Cunyuan glanced at the Internet background that kept the video and the signed contract for the paradise, took a deep breath, and stepped in.
After entering the main hall, walking around the screen and entering the quiet room in the wing, Zhao Cunyuan was stunned.
Then I saw seven or eight Taoists sitting in the small quiet room.
Judging from their clothes, they are all high-ranking officials of Liuyun Temple.
"Friend Zhao, I am a poor monk with a disability. I hope you will forgive me for not coming to meet you in person!"
The master of Liuyun Temple stood up and bowed.
The word "Fellow Daoist Zhao" again stunned Zhao Cunyuan.
Are we going to discuss this with equals?
Logically speaking, except for those within the Taoist sect, seniority is not respected when one is outside the sect. Even those with high levels of cultivation treat each other as equals.
Unless one party intends to make friends, he will claim to be the junior.
However, having said that, Zhao Cunyuan was born in Liuyun Temple after all, and the abbot of Liuyun Temple called him that by his peers. The meaning of this has already made Zhao Cunyuan imagine a lot.
"Master, you are so polite!"
Zhao Cunyuan returned the gift cautiously, and didn't even dare to call himself a junior, for fear of being taken advantage of by the other party.
"Liu Wengong often said that Brother Zhao was born to be a romantic and outstanding person. Now that I see him, he is indeed handsome. Come, come, take a seat!"
The abbot of Liuyun Temple uttered some flattering words again, and then looking at the seat he was invited to, it was the seat on the right, second only to the abbot.
Zhao Cunyuan felt more and more confused.
Looking at the other senior leaders of Liuyun Temple, there seemed to be a hint of strangeness in the way they looked at him.
Zhao Cunyuan declined the offer, but eventually sat down and left.
After some greetings, the master of Liuyun Temple took the initiative to mention Gu Yunli's plan to register a thousand acres of fertile land.
Zhao Cunyuan said, "To be honest, Master, there are many ignorant and jealous people in the village. I did a lot of absurd things in my early years and I am afraid of being reported. I am not afraid because of my cultivation, but I am a little worried about my parents at home, so I hope you will accept me."
Zhao Cunyuan said this openly.
Now, he can already look at Liuyun Temple with an upright look. After all, he came here for his parents, which is not shameful.
"So that's how it is. Your filial piety has touched the heaven and earth, moved the mountains and rivers, and made the plants and trees smile. From what I've seen, the paradise of heaven is moving because of your filial piety."
Zhao Cunyuan was shocked when he heard what the master of Liuyun Temple said.
What does this mean?
Falsely accuse him?
Or some kind of temptation?
"Master, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person. How could I disturb Gu Zhenzai? However, I can enjoy the paradise at this moment. It is the mercy of Zhenzai. Zhao can only be grateful."
After hearing these words, the head of Liuyun Temple looked solemn and said, "Daoyou, you are right. The world is in turmoil and chaos is about to happen. Buddhism has even predicted a catastrophe in the stars. It is a blessing for the people to have a paradise at this time. I am also grateful to you."
At this point in the topic, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Zhao Cunyuan's mind.
He suddenly realized why Liuyun Temple treated him with such courtesy?
This is a bet!
Bet he is Gu Zhenzai's man.
As soon as the paradise of heaven appeared, the delicate balance between the Internet and the fairyland was broken.
It is no exaggeration to say that great chaos is about to occur.
How could Liuyun Temple not make more preparations at this time?
After realizing this, Zhao Cunyuan suddenly realized it and felt a sense of absurdity.
Looking at the sect that was once high and mighty, it now seems to be nothing more than a group of insignificant people.
No wonder it occupies countless resources, but it is difficult to produce immortals.
This kind of mentality is not as pure as that of the players.
Thinking of this, Zhao Cunyuan suddenly felt bored. Just as he was about to deal with it casually, an illusory voice suddenly came from his mind, causing his face to change drastically.
Looking at the top management of Liuyun Audience, they had obviously also received the news at this moment. They looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.
