Chapter 139 Brain in a vat Faced with Emperor Qingxu's questioning, Gu Yunli did not dare to be negligent and quickly told him everything about the , there are slight differences in the details, and the matter of practicing the "Jimalaya Sutra" was concealed. It is said that he sensed something was wrong, rose up in resistance, and tried to self-destruct in order to find a way to survive. "Although I want to self-destruct and live towards death, the evil monk's cultivation is too high, so it is a luxury for me to self-destruct." Gu Yunli sighed and asked, "May I ask your Majesty, who is that evil monk? Why did he attack me?" Emperor Qingxu said: "That evil monk knew he was no match for his opponent, so before he died, he used his Buddhist teachings to attain Nirvana in the West Sea. Although his soul remains, its origin is unknown. It seems that he had long been aware of his own death." "Nirvana in the West Sea? The Emperor means that the evil monk is not dead?" "According to the Buddhist teachings, this life is considered dead. As for what the next life will be like and whether he can awaken the memories of his past life, it all depends on his luck. However, with his soul shattered into this state, the so-called nirvana rebirth is nothing but self-deception." Emperor Qingxu rarely showed a look of disdain. Gu Yunli nodded thoughtfully and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Buddhist method of Nirvana sounds very mysterious. In fact, it is similar to the Taoist method of rebirth through possession of another body. The difference is that it is not the soul that is reborn through possession of another body, but the memory that is reborn through possession of another body.
The reason why he knew this was because the Buddha of No Light had tried to tamper with his memory. This is also the fundamental reason why he concealed the fact that he was practicing the "Jimalaya Sutra". He was worried that Emperor Qingxu would misunderstand him, or deliberately misunderstand him, and judge him to be the Buddha of No Light, and imprison and kill him. "As for the purpose of Buddhism, although we have no way of knowing it, we can guess a little. The Supreme Red Seal uses blood as a medium, just like a mother hiding her child in the womb, and the knife and spatula are the matchmakers. What they are looking at is the meaning of the Internet. This can be seen from the fact that when he was escaping, he used this meaning to seek a way out." Gu Yunli suddenly realized: "No wonder after he captured me, he talked about a lot of allusions like Buddha was originally a Taoist and turning barbarians into Buddhas. It turns out that his purpose was to explore Gu's innate magical powers." Emperor Qingxu nodded, waved his hand, took out something and handed it over. "This is a mountain armor made from the remains of earth veins. Although it weighs more than ten thousand pounds, it is quite effective in warding off evil spirits. Be careful when you go out in the future." "I thank the Emperor for the armor!" Gu Yunli took the armor with joy, then tactfully said goodbye and left. Emperor Qingxu looked at the figure gradually disappearing at the end of the cloud stack, his eyes flickering, and after a while, he sighed and said: “No wonder the Earth Vein Dragon’s body couldn’t detect any Dao meaning. It turns out that this guy’s innate magical power is actually an innate spiritual weapon.” At this moment, a spiritual weapon had already condensed in his body. But the appearance of this spiritual weapon is very weird. It was like a square piece of black iron, flashing dense red light, falling into a Bagua spider web. When his mind connected to these ropes, a mysterious information entered his mind. [The origin of counting sticks] ——Vertical and horizontal derivation, the coordination of numbers. This thing was what the evil monk Pu Guang comprehended from Gu Yunli's body using the Supreme Red Seal. However, in the end it was Emperor Qingxu and...Emperor Dongyin who benefited. Now that Emperor Qingxu has condensed it with a miraculous method, he knows that the Internet built by Gu Yunli all originated from this innate spiritual weapon. "However, this guy was able to use this thing to develop the Internet. He is also a genius."
Emperor Qingxu exclaimed in admiration. If he had not seen the Internet, he would definitely not take this thing seriously. At most, he would treat it as a rare thing and collect it casually. However, it was only after he had experienced the Internet age that he realized what a brilliant idea it was for Gu Yunli to use this spiritual tool for counting rods to design an Internet model! Now that he has finally obtained the origin of the Internet, the terrestrial network can finally greatly reduce operating costs. …… …… When Gu Yunli left Beidu Palace and went out of Nantianmen again, the Tianmen guard Xin Quanli was shocked when he saw Gu Yunli. "Gu Zhenzai...when did he come to the Immortal Court again?" "The Great Emperor Qingxu summoned Gu with his immortal magic, so it's not surprising that the general never saw him." Xin Quanli suddenly realized and stopped asking questions. When Gu Yunli saw this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He said nothing, raised the Three Elements Yuanyun and returned to the Internet Palace. Be careful all the way, without any surprises or dangers. After returning to the Internet Palace, although Gu Yunli was full of things on his mind, he still inspected all the major departments of the Internet Palace calmly and then announced his retreat. In the private room, Gu Yunli sat cross-legged, finally having time to carefully consider the gains and losses of this attack. After some calculation, it was a heavy loss. Almost half of the large number of protective magic weapons he purchased at a high price were consumed in this battle. The point is, most of them didn't work. After all, the goods available on the market are still too ordinary. In the eyes of the Golden Immortal, it is nothing but scrap metal. His body of the Earth Dragon, which had the strongest protective power, had been beheaded by a single sword. This was a bad thing, but it was also a good thing. The shackles that Emperor Qingxu put on him were finally broken. If we talk about the harvest, the mountain skeleton armor bestowed by Emperor Qingxu is considered a top-grade spiritual weapon, and its defensive power is no less than that of the Earth Vein Dragon. This is a gain or loss on paper. If we talk about the accounts... a smile appeared on Gu Yunli's lips. Misfortune comes, and blessings depend on it. This sudden disaster may actually be a blessing in disguise. Because he spread the [network server] under the name of [the source of counting sticks]. When he tried to develop a botnet, he realized how to disguise his innate magical powers. Therefore, there is also a network server inside his body.
Pu Guang used the Supreme Red Seal to comprehend his innate magical power and plotted a fight, but what he got was nothing but a trap that had been prepared long ago. Gu Yunli doesn’t know whether Emperor Qingxu has obtained the network server? However, it is not difficult to confirm this. You can log in to the geography network after a while. "I didn't expect that the trap I set for Pei Yuli would eventually be spread from me. It's really unpredictable. It's good that this is the case. The first-hand information obtained from me is more convincing after all." Gu Yunli shook his head and his eyes fell on the server inside his body. At this moment, the camouflage server was running at full capacity, frantically rendering new scenes for a thousand-year-old zombie. This thousand-year-old zombie is none other than the Buddha of No Light. When Pu Guang was trying to trick Gu Yunli into practicing the "Jimara Sutra", he realized that something was wrong and that Data Daoyi was on standby at all times. Therefore, when the memory of the Lightless Buddha eroded him, he decisively tampered with reality, cut off part of his own data, and placed it into virtual reality. In other words, at this moment, the Lightless Buddha has become a brain in a jar. In order to prevent the Buddha of No Light from returning to Xiniu Hezhou and making it difficult to render related scenes, Gu Yunli decisively synchronized the reality to the virtual world. Therefore, the Buddha Wuguang also experienced the rescue of Emperor Qingxu, and even asked questions in the Guandi Pavilion. The Buddha of No Light is worthy of being a thousand-year-old zombie. Facing the questions from Emperor Qingxu, he answered them fluently. Not long after, he broke free and returned to the Cyber Palace to examine his new identity. Wuguang Buddha was obviously very amazed by the Internet model. He was addicted to it and even snooped into countless privacy. He was having a lot of fun! Seeing this, Gu Yunli shook his head secretly. Is this the Buddha? This is bullshit! He watched for a while, then lost interest in observing and turned to thinking about how to dig out the memory of the Buddha of No Light. Don’t think that the Buddha of No Light is trapped in the ocean of data at this time. But the memory of the Lightless Buddha is not data, it looks more like a ball of chaotic energy. The reason why Gu Yunli was able to read the data was because Wuguang Buddha "possessed" Gu Yunli. It was through this slice carrier that the data connection was completed. Unfortunately, the carrier is a carrier, and it is difficult to read the data in reverse. We have to admit that Buddhism has been able to dominate the Xiniuhe Continent for a number of reasons, and the method of Nirvana is one of them. While Gu Yunli was pondering, the Buddha of No Light seemed to be tired of playing and sat cross-legged to practice. Gu Yunli didn't care at first. However, as a large amount of data poured out, his expression suddenly changed. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth, condensed a phantom body, and began to practice in silence. At this moment, the Lightless Buddha in the virtual world and Gu Yunli in the real world seemed to gradually overlap and merge into one, and a faint Buddha light rippled out from Gu Yunli's body. As the Buddhist Dharma was practiced, rays of light spread out from behind Gu Yunli's head. The way of Hunling Jiehuang gradually faded away, and at this moment, he was more like a natural born Buddha, with Buddha's light and hidden wisdom. A huge amount of incense poured in madly, and his cultivation level also rose steadily.
Knowledge of discerning name and form, knowledge of grasping the causes, knowledge of contemplation…knowledge of the arising of fear… After an unknown amount of time, the Buddha of No Light opened his eyes, his expression neither happy nor sad, and he said to himself: "With this continent as an offering, I can attain Buddhahood!" Gu Yunli also opened his eyes and looked at himself in disbelief. At this time, the Buddha's light in his body was surging, suppressing the way of Hunlingjiehuang. He had already attained the bhikkhu's aversion and observation wisdom, and was only one step away from the Arhat fruit position. Although the Buddhist realm is very different from that of Taoism, they do have some similarities. For example, there are three stages in the Taoist practice of seeking immortality: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness. At the third stage, when one refines the spirit and returns to emptiness, one becomes a celestial being. There are six realms in Buddhism: the realm of eye consciousness, the realm of ear consciousness, the realm of nose consciousness, the realm of tongue consciousness, the realm of body consciousness, and the realm of mind consciousness. When one reaches the realm of tongue consciousness, he becomes an Arhat, and his cultivation is close to that of a celestial immortal. In other words, with the help of the Buddha's wisdom and a huge amount of incense, Gu Yunli's cultivation level surpassed that of the Hunling Jiehuang realm overnight, and he was only one step away from becoming a celestial being. The reason for such amazing speed is essentially because he is sharing the Buddhist realm of the Buddha of No Light. The Buddha of No Light practices the Great Nirvana, which is derived from the path of the Truth of Extinction among the Four Noble Truths. The truth of extinction means extinguishing and ending. Only by eliminating the sufferings of the three realms, and even birth and death, can one transcend birth and death, reach the state of nirvana, and attain Buddhahood. Gu Yunli did not understand Buddhism, but with the sharing of data, he was still able to quickly master the Great Nirvana. He was so frightened that his scalp went numb! "The Dao Yi can actually be transformed into data sharing? Doesn't this mean that I have been using the Data Dao Yi incorrectly all along?" "grass!" Gu Yunli stood up suddenly, his face changing from gloomy to bright. This unexpected discovery helped him find a shortcut. Theoretically, as long as he could obtain the data on other people's meditation and enlightenment, then the Taoism of others would become his Taoism. In this case, how do we obtain this data? Gu Yunli subconsciously looked at the Lightless Buddha trapped in the server. The reason why he was able to share the data of the Lightless Buddha was, after all, because he used a part of his soul slice as a carrier. Although this process is absurd, it is not impossible to replicate. "Cheating a powerful person to take over his body?" "Not right. The Xuanmen method of taking over a body is to take over the spirit and soul. It is easy to see the flaw. Only the Buddhist method of Nirvana can become the brain in the jar." "Could it be to promote the method of Nirvana?" As soon as this thought came to Gu Yunli's mind, he decisively put it behind his mind. He dared to spread Buddhism in Jambudvīpa. Not to mention Emperor Qingxu, even the Jade Emperor would not be able to protect him.
This is going to shake the foundation of Xuanmen, and the Immortal Court will regard him as an enemy. "In fact, there is no need to promote the method of Nirvana. As long as everyone is willing to participate in the virtual world and practice in the virtual world, I can share the data." Thinking of this, Gu Yunli was suddenly stunned. Why does the scene described by this idea seem familiar? Isn’t this the metaverse that was out of reach in the previous life? Thinking of the metaverse, Gu Yunli suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He realized that if this idea could be realized, there would be no need for great powers to join the effort. Even if countless ordinary people lived there, they could gather a huge amount of Tao data for him. So how do you create the metaverse? How do users connect to the Metaverse? In addition, in order to maintain the data rendering of the virtual world of the Buddha of No Light, he consumed a lot of energy. From this, it can be inferred that if one wants to build a metaverse that can support tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, the energy consumption will be incredible. You can’t afford to do this just by offering incense! The moment the crazy idea came up, countless problems were also placed before Gu Yunli. He was silent for a long time and then sighed. Right now his cultivation is still too low, and many problems are difficult to solve. "Let's wait a little longer. With the Buddha of Infinite Light here, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the realm of Arhat or even Bodhisattva." "Right now, it's a good opportunity to use the Buddha of No Light to accumulate some project experience." "Wouldn't it be nice to wait until the time is right and start the closed beta without deleting the files?" After careful consideration, Gu Yunli took a deep breath, suppressed the wild thoughts in his mind, and silently added several more projects that needed to be resolved in the memo. It’s not just the hardware that has to keep up; Public opinion and propaganda must also keep up. Thinking of this, Gu Yunli looked at the Lightless Buddha in the virtual world again, and found that he had already left the Internet Palace and went to the Lingbao Refining Factory. But he found Ji Zhixian and wanted to develop some new flying sword robes. Gu Yunli couldn't help laughing when he saw this. It turned out that this guy was going for Taizhen Tianxiang. Thousand-year-old zombies are just old zombies. The market is almost saturated. There’s no point in developing new flying swords! Updates and iterations don’t work this way either. He smiled and didn't care what the Buddha of Light did to him. It was just a virtual world after all, so it didn't matter if it got messed up, as long as he could successfully "recover his cultivation". At worst, I can give him some cheats. Of course, the prerequisite for cheating is that Gu Yunli must also obtain enough Taizhen Tianxiang in the real world. He had to ensure that the resources on both sides were synchronized so that he could perfectly share the cultivation data.
"It's Taizhen Tianxiang again!" Gu Yunli took a deep breath and then sent a message to Ouyang Mi. Not long after, a sound of hurried footsteps was heard. “Gu Zhenzai, you’re looking for me?” Ouyang Mi smiled and bowed, his words and actions were somewhat reckless. Gu Yunli didn't take it seriously and asked, "Have you been busy with work recently?" “Although the news section is expanding its coverage of news at other times, it is not too busy as the News Network has set a good example.” Ouyang Mi replied concisely.
