Chapter 8 The crime of having a jade
"Young man, this is just the beginning. Keep working hard!"
Gu Yunli, who was observing Tian'an Village with his Earthly Power, couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he saw Zhao Cunyuan with a constipated expression on his face.
This morning, Zhao Cunyuan invited almost half of the villagers in Tianan.
It is equivalent to forcing them to burn incense and worship.
However, the incense offerings Gu Yunli received were far less than on the day of the Holy Manifestation.
A rough calculation shows that there are only more than twenty incense sticks.
To be honest, there are very few incense sticks.
However, this is understandable.
After all, even if it is not a worship from the heart, the fact that it can generate incense is already a kind of belief.
In addition, the sinking market in this world is obviously not easy to do business.
The main reason is that the literacy rate is too low.
In the huge Tianan Village, there are only three or five people who can read and write, so the fission power of a single cut cannot be fully exerted.
Fortunately, Gu Yunli met a good user.
Zhao Cunyuan's expression changed again and again, and then he gritted his teeth, asked his parents for permission, and left the village.
Looking at the incense in his hand, where is it going? It is self-evident.
"Good boy, wait until there are more spreaders, and I will unlock the skills for you."
Gu Yunli promised secretly.
He was just about to retract his magical powers and close his eyes to practice, when suddenly, a series of new users appeared, causing him to raise his eyebrows.
Following the data, his expression suddenly became strange.
These new users all log into the Internet using spells.
According to social network analysis, all these people were attracted by a man named "Wenren Jushi" through "Kan Yidao".
"You're smart. You're using a nickname so quickly."
Gu Yun praised, and with a thought in his mind, the data magic power was connected, and the user's true appearance immediately appeared in his field of vision.
"It's him?"
Gu Yunli was startled, then burst into laughter: "Interesting, interesting..."
This user was none other than the leader of Tian'an Hall, Cui Sanye. The book he was trying to unlock was "Records of Worshiping the Big Dipper".
"Is it because I don't know how powerful the prayer technique is, or because I can't stand the temptation of the technique? However, no matter which one it is, it seems that I have underestimated the temptation of the technique!"
"It's a pity that Mr. Cui San used a spell to log in, so he can't harvest incense? He has to keep him online, and won't be allowed to log in unless he burns incense?"
"No, no, banning is too low-level. Keeping it will create the most value. Even if there is no incense, the user's data is valuable! Maybe I can use this to do intelligence business in the future."
Gu Yunli shook his head and cut off his radical thoughts.
By the way, his ultimate goal in spreading the art of praying to the gods on the Internet was not just to attract incense from a village or a county.
Being overbearing is too extreme, the kingly way is more gentle and has more lethality. Now that we have just started our business, we cannot destroy our own foundation.
After thinking about it, he observed the activity track of Mr. Cui Sanye's account for a while and then logged out.
The next day, new users continued to pour in.
Looking at social networks, almost all of them were hacked by Zhao Cunyuan.
As for Mr. Cui Sanye, after recruiting twenty or thirty people, he seemed to realize something and decisively stopped recruiting people, which made Gu Yunli quite regretful.
The next day, the fission effect finally appeared after one cut.
Two more users took the initiative to pull people up.
Judging from the time these two people stayed on each book introduction page, they should be able to read and write!
Three days later, Gu Yunli looked at the more than 500 incense sticks in his hand and suddenly became conflicted.
He was struggling with whether he should swallow these incense sticks and reach the spiritual realm in one fell swoop?
Or should I continue saving it to buy the sealing certificate?
Counting on his fingers, the ghost messenger Niu Qin has almost arrived in Tong County, and is probably looking for Songshou Hall. If he swallows the incense now, he might mess up the matter, right?
But one's own cultivation is the most important thing, which makes Gu Yunli inevitably hesitate.
"Master Gu, something terrible is happening!"
Suddenly, a ghost messenger rushed into the lobby of the underground palace in a hurry.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Gu Yunli frowned.
"Looking back at Uncle, the landowners of Liujiagou, Dajing Village, Nanpo Township, and the Dragon King of Dafangtangchi... are all outside the underground palace gate, and they look unhappy. Old Zhao is blocking them outside the underground palace gate, but it seems like he won't be able to stop them for long."
The ghost was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down, looking extremely panicked.
Gu Yunli frowned and was about to speak when he heard angry shouting from outside the door.
"Where is Gu Yunli?"
As they were talking, a group of grassroots immortals from the Immortal Court rushed in.
"I am Gu Yunli, greeting all my colleagues. I apologize for not coming in person to greet you!"
Seeing this, Gu Yunli went over with a smile.
"Are you Gu Yunli?"
A demon cultivator with a big mouth and long beard, whose head looked like a catfish, pointed at his nose and asked.
"Exactly. May I ask your name?"
"Gu Yunli, we have never offended you in any way. Why did you send people to steal the incense from my Dragon King Temple?"
The big catfish looked furious.
Without waiting for Gu Yunli to reply, the others also started shouting.
"Master Gu, you and I are both fellow officials in Yong County. Why did you send people to our jurisdiction to plunder incense without permission?"
"Gu Yunli, as a local leader, you are so arrogant. Aren't you afraid that we will sue the City God and drive you out of the village?"
A group of people rolled up their sleeves and touched the magic weapons, spiritual energy bursting out of their bodies, and it looked as if they were going to eat Gu Yunli.
The scene frightened the Tianan ghosts so much that they subconsciously took a few steps back, ready to retreat at any time.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was extremely tense, a light laugh of "Haha" made the whole audience suddenly quiet down.
"W-why are you laughing?"
The catfish demon cultivator pointed at Gu Yunli and questioned him.
Gu Yunli chuckled, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the high seat in the hall, sat down without any hesitation, and looked calmly at the gods in the hall.
"If you feel that I have overstepped my authority, you can report me to the county god. If you are really angry, you can also kill those who 'extort money from incense'."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into dead silence.
A group of land and pond dragon kings who came angrily looked at each other, and their momentum weakened in the hesitation.
"Let Gu Bogong know that according to the "Immortal Court Examination Law", it is strictly forbidden for immortals of all levels to collect incense across boundaries! Gu Bogong has just arrived at Tianan as an official, so it is understandable that he does not know the immortal rules, but now that he knows it, he still dares to commit crimes against the wind. Don't blame us for disregarding the friendship of our colleagues!"
The local god of Nanpo Township stepped out from the crowd and bowed.
Looking at the righteous words, Gu Yunli wanted to laugh.
It is obvious that this group of people are jealous of the popularity of the Internet, and they deliberately use the excuse of Zhao Cunyuan and others to recruit people and come here to cause trouble.
Bringing out the "Xianting Examination Method" now is just a way to take advantage of him because he is a new official and doesn't know the rules!
Little did people know that after passing the imperial examination in Taoism, the first book he studied was "Xian Ting Kao Cheng Fa". How could he give others an advantage over him?
"Your Excellency is saying that spreading the art of praying to the gods and benefiting the people is against the rules of the immortals?"
Gu Yunli asked slowly.
"Praying to the gods doesn't count..."
The Nanpo Township God of Land had sweat on his forehead. Looking at all the gods and Buddhas in the fairyland, which one of them didn't have the art of praying to the gods passed down?
If he dares to deny the art of praying to the gods, he is courting death!
"Since praying to the gods doesn't count, what crime have I committed?" Gu Yunli asked first.
