Chapter 86: Using Internet power to steal the power of officials
The star god Tiancang of Weixiu, also known as Wei Tuzhi, is the third of the seven western constellations.

The main granary stores grains!
In fact, there is some overlap in the power of the god of land and grains.

This made Gu Yunli full of doubts.

However, since he was summoned by a fourth-rank immortal official, he had to bow.

He could only set up the Three Elements Elemental Clouds and follow the fairy boy into the fairy court to meet him.

When he stepped into the Immortal Palace for the third time, he was already calm and composed.

Led by the fairy boy, they unknowingly stepped into the residence of Weixiu Star Lord. Walking through the corridors and alleys, they saw a glazed pavilion standing in the sea of ​​clouds from afar.

Two Taoists sat opposite each other in the pavilion and had a very pleasant conversation!
One was wearing a yellowish single garment, about sixty years old, and looked like an old man;

The other one has a necklace on his chest and a shawl on his shoulders, and he looks like a middle-aged man.

After being reminded by the fairy boy, Gu Yunli approached and bowed to the old man:

"Gu Yunli from the Internet domain pays homage to the Star Lord of Weisu."

“Gu Zhenzai, I have long admired you!”

Weixiu Star Lord stood up and clasped his fists in return - considering his status as a fourth-rank immortal official, this gesture was considered enough respect.

"Gu Zhenzai, do you still recognize me?"

The middle-aged man with a shawl on his shoulders looked at Gu Yunli with a smile.

Gu Yunli looked around and clasped his hands in confusion, "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, but may I ask what your name is?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, shook the folding fan in his hand, and wiped his cheek like an actor, transforming into a Taoist child.

Seeing this, Gu Yunli was stunned: "Yang Ruchuan?"

Isn't it?
The Taoist boy in front of him was none other than the boy burning incense under the seat of Yixiu Star Lord!

“Hahaha, Gu Zhenzai, Yixiu Xingjun is the god of a hundred plays, but don’t be fooled by his nine transformations!”

Upon seeing this, Wei Su Xingjun, Wei Tuzhi, laughed out loud.

Gu Yunli suddenly understood.

It seems that it was not the Stomach Star Lord who summoned him, but the Old Lang God, the Wing Star Lord who invited him?
"Gu Zhenzai, please forgive me. When I first heard about the Woban incident in the human world, I became curious, but I was afraid of conspicuousness, so I came to see you in my incarnation."

Lao Langshen apologized and explained.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Gu Yunli waved his hands and sighed in his heart. No wonder the Taoist boy acted like the head of the family. He also thought that it was the momentum he developed from following a fourth-rank immortal official.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the old Langshen himself!
“Come, come, Gu Zhenzai, take your seat!”

At the invitation of Weixiu Star Lord, Gu Yunli sat down in the glazed pavilion.

"A few months ago, I heard that Gu Zhenzai had opened an online bank to benefit the people of the world, and I have longed for it. Today, I was drinking tea with the old man in front of the flowers, and I found out that we are old acquaintances. I was so happy that I sent someone to invite him. Now that I see him, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

As soon as Weixiu Star Lord sat down, he began to praise generously.

Gu Yunli was so praised that he waved his hands repeatedly.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Old Lang Shen asked tentatively:

"May I ask Gu Zhenzai, do you still take what you said seriously?"

"a man of his words!"

"it is good!"

"To be honest with you, Gu Zhenzai, I have been traveling around the world and visiting famous teachers. I have already collected more than a hundred famous actors and actresses, and compiled various famous songs. Now everything is ready, and we only need the east wind!"

The old Langshen took the initiative to explain.

Of course, this is half true and half false.

It is said that after he said goodbye to Gu Yunli in the form of a Taoist boy, he was very hesitant about going back.

He wanted to take charge of the opera section, but was afraid of becoming a laughing stock in the Immortal Court. After all, the gap between his status and Gu Yunli's was too big.

Isn't it degrading for a fourth-rank immortal official to help a ninth-rank minor official?
However, a series of events that followed gradually changed his mind, and he began to prepare carefully.

"Xingjun is diligent and hardworking, as swift as thunder and lightning. I admire you!"

Gu Yun praised.

He originally wanted to remind people that there was no need to be so cautious. It would be a wise move to go online first to test the market and then slowly optimize and change.

However, he thought about it and felt that this statement might sound preachy.

His past life experiences might not have allowed him to adapt to this world, so he decisively shut his mouth.

Since it has been decided to assign the opera section to Lao Langshen for operation;
Then all the authority will be divided out.

As for how others operate, it doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t touch his bottom line.

"Gu Zhenzai, I am in charge of the granaries and grains, and I am also trying to imitate the Wings Constellation Star Lord. Do you think this is okay?"

Seeing this, Weixiu Star Lord hurriedly asked while the iron was hot.

"Good thing!"

Gu Yunli was full of admiration.

"feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible. The Star Lord is in charge of the granaries and grains, so we can open an agricultural channel to teach people how to open up wasteland and plant crops, grow fruits and vegetables, and report on local specialties and foods. There will be no shortage of viewers."

Gu Yunli talked freely.

Weixiu Xingjun was surprised. He had prepared a lot of words to say, but he didn't expect that these words were not as good as the operation direction that Gu Zhenzai mentioned casually.

How could he not be happy about this?

"Since it's feasible, I'll leave it to Gu Zhenzai."

"No problem! However, updating the forum is time-consuming and laborious, and requires careful deduction, so I'm afraid it will take some time to prepare."

Gu Yunli nodded in agreement. However, he deliberately made the preparations sound more rigorous.

As the saying goes:
The sutras are not passed on lightly, and the Dharma cannot be obtained in vain.

No matter how simple the matter is, you cannot agree to it casually.

Otherwise, if you don’t take it seriously, why would others care?

"It is widely rumored that the Internet is Gu Zhenzai's innate magical power. Now, according to what Gu Zhenzai said, this innate magical power has other secrets?"

"It's not that there's anything special about it, but it's small but has all the necessary functions. It's just quite troublesome to figure out how to use it!"

"I see!"

The Star Lord of Wei nodded, waved his long sleeves, took out a bead as big as a dragon eye, and said:
"This is the Soul-Calming Pearl, which can calm the soul and strengthen the spirit, and is very effective in relieving mental damage. I am giving it to you as a gift, and I hope you will not despise it."

"You can't do it, you can't do it..."

Gu Yunli waved his hand to refuse, and after three attempts at refusing, he finally accepted it.

When the fingertips touched the soul-soothing bead, the power of data emerged and the informationization of all things immediately revealed the reality of this object.

After making sure it was harmless, he put it in his pocket with satisfaction.

"Good things come in pairs. I also have an item called the Calming Bowl. When you strike it, you can calm your mind. I'm giving it to you as a gift so that you can quickly deduce an agricultural channel for the Stomach Star Lord."

Upon seeing this, Lao Langshen also took out a copper bowl and presented it to him.

Gu Yunli accepted it with a smile.

I thought to myself, this trip was worthwhile.

The God of Wei was in a very good mood and immediately called for the Taoist boy to prepare a banquet to entertain them.

After the excitement, it was two days later when Gu Yunli returned to the Internet Palace.

However, when everyone was drunk at the banquet, the old man couldn't help himself and directly pulled Gu Yunli to his mansion, burned incense, drank tea, and watched a play.

It’s better not to look at this;
Seeing that it was so popular, Lao Langshen was so excited that he decided to go online on the opera channel today.

Gu Yunli was well prepared and readily agreed.

At the same time, we will teach Lao Langshen how to play around in the backstage of the opera channel!

After all this busy work, his days and nights were reversed. When he returned to the Internet Palace, Gu Yunli felt dizzy and fell asleep immediately.

It is indeed the Wei Star Lord who is so real!
The drinks served as a treat must have been thousand-year-old fine wines. Even though Gu Yunli drank too much, he was still able to stay somewhat sober, which was all thanks to his physical body.

While he was sleeping soundly, the launch of the opera channel seemed to be uneventful.

Although there are many discussions in the community forum;

But compared to the idols killing people and banks lending interest, it pales in comparison.

After all, everyone has already seen the online course section, so there is nothing surprising about separating it out separately.

However, community feedback was mediocre.

The number of views of the opera section is soaring at an alarming rate.

Among them, the video with the highest number of views exceeded five million in just one day!
Far exceeds the most viewed video in online courses!
When Gu Yunli woke up, he took a casual look and was shocked.

He knew that putting the opera channel on the first-level page would definitely attract a lot of traffic, but he didn't expect the traffic to be so overwhelming.

As he followed the incense and looked towards the human world, he fell silent.

……

Under the curling smoke, there is a dark boiler room.

The old lady, who was busy making fire and cooking, sat by the stove door, adding firewood and listening to the singing opera.

Occasionally I would get up, open the lid of the pot and take a look at the porridge.

After a long time, she stopped adding firewood and shouted to the old man who was braiding hemp rope outside in the afterglow of the setting sun: "Old man, take the bowl and eat!"

The old man was weaving the hemp rope in a daze, but all he could hear was:
"I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse..."

It was not until the old lady came closer and shouted that he woke up from his dream.

……

This scene of the old man and the old woman seemed to be the same as that of countless villagers in the village.

It's winter.

It was freezing cold outside, and most people had nothing to do except doing some handicrafts.

In previous years, we had to endure these days.

Nowadays, most people log on to the Internet to watch videos.

Among them, half of them watched opera.

Compared with the various online courses, it seems that most people prefer the humming and singing style.

Gu Yunli glanced at the millions of people and a vague understanding arose in his heart.

The times are moving too fast;

He almost ignored the Internet users who have the largest base but the weakest voice.

Compared to the education and curiosity of online courses;
What they can understand, or are more familiar with, is actually opera.

……

While cruising in the ocean of the Internet, Gu Yunli quietly saw an acquaintance.

——He is the old owner of Pingkouwoban.

It's the dead of winter, and the team seems to have taken a break today.

The old owner was meticulously tidying up the costumes and props.

"Boss, do you think anyone will come to watch a show with us after this?"

A woman nearby asked with a worried look on her face. In her sight, on a stage that looked like a fairyland, a group of actors were performing hard.

In terms of scenery, costumes, singing skills... I don't know how far we are ahead of them.

"If no one wants to find me, I won't sing. At least I won't starve to death."

The old boss said calmly that he did not hate Taoist Yunli in his heart. After all, there was online banking to back him up, right?

……

……

The Immortal Court, the Star Palace of Yixiu.

"Fairy Su, wait for me."

Su Zi, the star god of Zhen Yi, who was wearing colorful clothes, heard a voice calling from behind just before he landed at the residence of Yi Xiu star.

Turning his head, he saw the Pleiades Star God, with a nose as sharp as an eagle's beak, flying towards him quickly.

"Fairy Su, do you want to meet Fellow Daoist Li?"

"Exactly. It seems that fellow Taoist is also like this?"

"Yeah, that's a coincidence."

The Pleiades Star Lord clapped his hands and smiled, looking around, and asked mysteriously, "Are you here for the opera section, Fairy?"

"What about you?"

"We share the same ideals! I wonder if the fairy knows any secrets?"

"Wouldn't it be better if we went in and asked around?"

"It makes sense!"

At that moment, the two star gods came in.

When they arrived at the guest hall under the guidance of the Taoist child, they were both slightly surprised.

Then he saw more than ten immortals and gods sitting in the spacious hall.

Looking closely, there are twenty-eight constellations, among which there are several nine-star officials.

"Fairy Su, Fellow Daoist Huang, please forgive me for not coming to meet you in person!"

Sitting at the main seat in the hall, the old Langshen stood up and bowed, his old face slightly flushed. I wonder what they were talking about just now?
"We are all colleagues, why should we be polite?"

Fairy Su bowed and blessed, then found a seat and sat down.

However, the Pleiades Star Lord said impatiently, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist Li, what is the relationship between the opera channel on the Internet and you? Why do those actors on it look familiar to me?"

You know, some time ago, Yixiu Star Lord was searching the whole world for famous teachers and actors, and he couldn't hide it from anyone.

Originally, everyone thought that the star god Yixiu was too quiet and wanted to move, so he played around casually.
Unexpectedly, it was related to the Internet.

The old Langshen said, "To be honest, Taoist friend, I am grateful for Gu Zhenzai's trust. I am currently managing the opera channel. It is not surprising that there are some familiar faces."

Old Langshen has explained this more than a dozen times.

However, when he said it again this time, there was still a hint of pride in his tone.

The power over all kinds of operas is just a minor thing.

Unexpectedly, with the help of the Internet, his name became famous all over the world overnight and became very popular. From then on, who would dare to look down on him?

He will eventually deserve the title of fourth-rank immortal official.

"I see!"

Pleiades Star Lord couldn't help but ask:

"I see that the number of views is over 10 million. Could it be that the incense is also distributed according to the standard of online courses?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Yixiu Star Lord, their eyes full of curiosity.

——Before, everyone was concerned about their reputation and no one dared to ask so bluntly, but now they finally got the chance.

"No, for the benefit of the world, all opera channels are broadcast for free. As for the settlement of incense offerings, it is related to the covenant, so please forgive me!"

"Understand, understand!"

All the star gods in the hall nodded.

As he was speaking, the sound of calling out names was heard again from outside the door.

"The Taibai star official has arrived—"

……

On this day, the residence of Yixiu Star Lord was no longer as cold and desolate as before.

There were constant auspicious clouds flying over the dragon chariot.

The gatekeeper boy nearly ran himself to pieces, and his surprise at the gifts he received turned into a calm expression.

Before long, the news that Yixiu Star Lord was in charge of the opera channel spread throughout the Immortal Court.

It is said that there are no less than ten thousand incense sticks burned every day.

I don’t know how much envy and jealousy this has attracted!

Who could have thought that the once insignificant power of Baixi would one day become so glorious and powerful!
While the immortals were envious and jealous;
Weixiu Star Lord also got Gu Zhenzai's promise, and the news of setting up a new agricultural channel spread like wildfire, and the immortals couldn't sit still after hearing it.

The authority over the granaries and grains can actually spawn a so-called agricultural channel:

It is said that Gu Zhenzai is extremely optimistic about this;
Doesn't this mean that the power they hold has the potential to become bigger and stronger?
For a while, people were in a state of uncertainty, and some were eager to try;

However, some people quietly tried to find out the meaning of the higher-ups' decision, fearing that they would become the innocent souls in the "Zhengyi Xuantan case" again.

……

……

The main hall is as quiet as an abyss, as if isolating the hustle and bustle of the immortal court from outside.

The Prime Minister of Tianshu held a jade tablet in his hand, stood in the center of the dark hall, performed the ceremony of attending court, and said:
"Your Majesty, Gu Zhenzai has used his power over the Internet to steal the power of all officials in the Immortal Court. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous. Your Majesty, please set things right and restore order to the Immortal Court."
