Chapter 56 The world is unified
Gu Yunli clearly remembered that when he took the Taoism exam, he filled in his place of origin:
——Gu Yunli, a native of Yong County, Yunzhou, Shuntian Prefecture, a civilian.

After successfully taking the Taoism examination, he secretly felt lucky. Later he realized that it was not because the Immortal Court had lax discipline, but because the Immortal Court had its own means of investigation.

The officials of the Classics Bureau only need to count with their fingers to know whether this person is from the local area and whether he has violated the law or discipline.
This kind of censorship method is both the inevitable result of the supernatural power and the helpless move due to the chaotic household registration management.

Gu Yunli, who thought he had gotten away with it, did not expect that he would be suddenly questioned by Emperor Qingxu again. He was shocked and suddenly realized that Emperor Qingxu was probably using his great supernatural powers to trace the source and check his past and present lives.

Since you have already checked, and you are still asking this question, I am afraid... you haven't found anything.

"Your Majesty, I don't know my origins."

"Oh?"

"About five years ago, I condensed my body in a mass grave at the foot of Laozhu Mountain. I have been practicing in a daze until now. Although I have some wisdom, my memory is very different from the world today. I don't know whether I have been sleeping for thousands of years or drifting from outside the domain."

Gu Yunli said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

People die as ghosts.

But not everyone can become a ghost after death.

Only a very small number of people, under the right combination of causes and conditions, have the possibility of becoming ghosts.

In this process, if the resentment is too strong, it will turn into a fierce ghost;
If you lose your soul, you will lose your memory.

There are even some extreme cases where they absorb the souls of others during the gathering process and eventually develop cognitive impairments.

Therefore, it is completely understandable for Gu Yunli to say that his memory is confused.

However, despite saying this, Gu Yunli still calmly mobilized his innate magical power to digitize his memory and converted it into a ciphertext that could not be directly read to encrypt the data.

The decryption key is also destroyed.

At this point, it is difficult to brute force encrypted data unless you have control over the data.

"From this point of view, it can be regarded as the birth of heaven and earth!"

Emperor Qingxu nodded slightly when he heard this, and beneath his calm appearance, his sea of ​​consciousness was already in turmoil.

As the saying goes:
As soon as the thought came to mind, Yang Bo appeared, and many ghost faces and gods appeared.

But in an instant, the immortal pointed the way, beyond yin and yang, and Gu Yunli's simple words had already made Emperor Qingxu see the result he wanted from the hexagram.

——What Gu Yunli said is true.

——If you forcefully search the soul, you will get nothing.

The divination result made Emperor Qingxu thoughtful.

"The Internet of Prayer Techniques comes from the innate magical power?"

"That's right. I named it the Network Magical Power. It can connect multiple people and exchange information."

"You use the Internet to gain support from the world. Although this is an unconventional move, it is not to be blamed. But why did you open an online bank? Do you know that if this plan is implemented, the people of the world may become livestock? How is this different from the devil's way?"

Emperor Qingxu spoke in a calm tone, but his words were so sharp that they sent chills down one's spine.

When Gu Yunli heard this, he realized in an instant why Emperor Qingxu suddenly summoned him.

The free redemption of points may be the direct incentive.

In fact, there have been many discussions on the Internet about the disadvantages of online banking, and the final conclusion of the discussions is that humans are very likely to become livestock that provide incense.

It's just that in the face of the huge temptation of incense, no one is willing to stand up and oppose it.

However, this temptation is naturally not worth mentioning in front of the Immortal Court.

How to do?
Take back the idea of ​​online banking?

Gu Yunli's thoughts raced as he said calmly, "Your Majesty, I believe that online banking is the core of the Internet. This will be a righteous act that will benefit the world."

Emperor Qingxu became interested: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Gu Yunli took a deep breath. "I think the reason why the world is full of contradictions is ultimately the result of misallocation of resources."

"The monks who have great productivity are high up in the sky and do not produce anything."

"Mortals with humble abilities have to work in the fields, facing the earth and back to the sky, to support the lofty monks. In their spare time, they have to offer incense."

"How ridiculous is this scene?"

"I believe that only the unity of the world can save the people of the world!"

These crazy words are like sparks, shining brightly in the clouds.

"Great harmony in the world? Haha, human nature is arrogant and extravagant, greedy and unrestrained. It cannot be achieved by simply respecting the past and restoring the rituals."

Emperor Qingxu narrowed his eyes and shook his head in disapproval.

"Your Majesty is right. To talk about ideals without considering material things is nothing but a castle in the air. Therefore, what I believe in is the great harmony of the world. Under the premise of completely liberating productivity, everyone does their best and takes what they need. The monks create material things, and the common people provide incense."

"By then, the abundant material life will make people no longer have to worry about their livelihood. Exploring the world, creating art, enjoying life, and comprehending the Tao will become the mainstream, and the world will usher in a new great prosperity..."

"With the current strength of the cultivation world, this can be achieved."

“It’s just that no one has tried it, there is a lack of suitable paths, and even less means of distribution.”

"Therefore, I think it is completely feasible to use the Internet to search for incense offerings all over the world and then distribute supplies based on the incense offerings."

"This will provide monks who are not good at obtaining incense with a channel to obtain incense, and it will also give the common people the capital to survive."

Gu Yunli talked freely.

It seems to be respecting the ancient customs and restoring rituals, but in fact it is planting red seeds silently.

After hearing this, Emperor Qingxu was speechless for a long time.

This talk of universal peace may sound like sophistry, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the great truth is hidden in it.

His heart was beating fast and he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and use his supernatural powers to deduce.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, "If this continues, the population will increase and the world will be overwhelmed."

Gu Yunli smiled and said, "I think there is another possibility. As individuals no longer worry about their livelihoods, self-realization will become the mainstream. By then, I am afraid that no one will continue the family line, and instead choose to practice cultivation in order to achieve longevity."

"Of course, the population may also increase. When the earth is overwhelmed, there is still the underworld. If the underworld is not enough, then we can build skyscrapers and floating islands to take the surplus of the sky and make up for the deficiency of the earth. If that doesn't work, the stars and the sea are also the way to go."

At this point, Gu Yunli gritted his teeth and said:

"Emperor, the world has been peaceful for a long time, and it has become stagnant. Even without the Internet, the number of cultivators is increasing. Judging from history, it will be a catastrophe sooner or later. In this case, why not try the way of Datong, for all living beings, and for yourself?"

This time, Emperor Qingxu could no longer maintain his calm expression.

The path to universal peace may face the pressure of a population explosion.

But the world is by no means perfect now.

It can even be said that compared to the uncertainty of universal peace, the world now knows the beginning and the end!
Thinking of this, Emperor Qingxu suddenly stood up, walked to the pavilion and looked out at the sea of ​​clouds.

In fact, it conceals the inner turmoil and anxiety.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that Gu Yunli was a chess piece.

A chess piece that stirs up the world.

I just don’t know who is the chess player?
Three Pure Ones and Six Imperial Lords?

The Five Elders of the Five Directions?
Gold mother and wood father?

Emperor Qingxu counted the immortal officials above him and found that anyone could be the one.

Even the Jade Emperor!
