Before knowing that the war was about to begin, Chen Chao had already made a lot of efforts. The things he did were just to ensure that Daliang could win in this war.
But in fact, everyone knows that in this war where the strength of the two sides is too different, even if the entire human world unites, they will be weak.
The demon race is a barbaric race. During those years in the north, they just had no interest in exterminating the human race, otherwise they would not have allowed the human race to exist until now.
It's like an adult watching an ant crawling under his feet. Most of the time, he doesn't really focus on killing the ant.
Unless one day the ants become too big and start to threaten him.
But no matter how big an ant is, it is still an ant.
It is almost impossible to win.
Therefore, after Chen Chao had done everything he wanted to do, he still failed to let Daliang take the initiative in the war. Gufengkou was lost, which was expected by everyone.
The destruction of the Great Wall in the North would not be a surprise.
It's just that everyone is looking for that most subtle and elusive chance of winning.
But this war is definitely not something that Chen Chao alone can win, but he has united all the forces that can be united, and he has even temporarily bowed to infatuation.
But there are some things that cannot be changed, such as Luming Temple, which is the oldest temple in the world. Its foundation may even be deeper than the concept of infatuation. Chen Chao really wanted to get the help of these monks.
On the surface, this is actually not a difficult thing, but in fact it is very difficult.
It's not difficult to say, because there was a monk who walked out of Luming Temple, and that monk changed the world. From then on, the relationship between Daliang and Luming Temple became better.
For a long time, everyone believed that Luming Temple was the Fangwai sect with the best connections in the Liang Dynasty, but in fact only a few people knew that things were not that simple.
The monks at Luming Temple practice escapist Zen. Even if a black-clothed national master comes out, they can't change the overall thinking of this group of monks.
So if you want to persuade these monks to do something, probably only another monk in black can do it.
He stood in front of the master abbot, spoke some truths, and then began to threaten.
A person like the old monk Pingdu would never be coerced by some ordinary threats, and it would be even more impossible to change his mind. But when the young monk in black in front of him said those words, he believed it.
.
He felt the young monk's determination.
From a certain point of view, he had always thought that the black-clothed monk in front of him was the original black-clothed monk. If the two people were the same, then he had no reason not to believe it.
Of course, what convinced him even more was the young man in power.
He has many reputations in the world, whether they are bad or not. The most important thing is that he is very courageous and can do whatever he wants most of the time.
For other people, in this situation, no matter how crazy they say, they may not be believed. But if the young man in power wants to do this, no one will doubt it, because he just did something not long ago.
event.
If he really thought that Luming Temple would be like this, maybe there would really be no Luming Temple.
"Huixuan..."
As soon as the old monk Pingdu opened his mouth, he shook his head. There are some things that cannot be said, some things that cannot be said, and some things that are not easy to say.
The monk in black looked at the abbot of Luming Temple and said, "I know what it is, and I will tell it myself."
"I don't think there will be any results."
The old monk Pingdu spoke softly. Although he was the abbot of Luming Temple in name, in fact some things were never decided by him.
Someone will always have the final say.
"Some people think some people can't be persuaded, but the world also thinks you can't be persuaded."
The meaning of this sentence is actually just a few words.
It’s okay to try.
The old monk Pingdu understood the content and then turned sideways.
The monk in black didn't say anything, but just passed the abbot of Luming Temple and walked towards the middle of the back mountain.
There was an old monk there who had lived for a long time.
What does living a long life mean? It probably means something, but the most important thing is probably that it is that you have lived too long and have seen too many things. It is difficult for you to have any novel ideas about anything. Since there is no novelty anymore,
It is difficult to change one's own thoughts.
Such people are difficult to convince.
Do people who are difficult to persuade still need to be persuaded?
The monk in black came to the dilapidated small temple. He looked at the spider webs on the dilapidated lintel and the dust floating in the air that could be seen with the naked eye. He stood at the door of the temple and was silent for a long time, but still did not go in.
The temple was very quiet. The old monk did not sit at the door of the temple, but he should still be alive, because the monk in black heard the faint breathing, although he did not know whether the breathing was his own or someone else's.
After a long silence, he finally walked in.
The old monk was sitting in the main hall, with his head hanging down, as if he was taking a nap.
There is no Buddha statue in the temple, and the old monk in front of me seems to be a Buddha.
This is a very strange thing.
The monk in black stood at the door of the temple, blocking most of the light, but the old monk didn't seem to care, he just lowered his head like this, as if he no longer needed the light.
"Since you can't leave the temple, then you shouldn't care about anything."
Surprisingly, there was no deliberation or euphemism. The monk in black spoke his thoughts straight to the point, very straightforwardly.
The old monk said nothing.
The monk in black said: "If you don't speak, you are acquiescing."
After saying this, he seemed not to give the old monk a chance to speak again, and turned to leave.
"Just to say these two sentences?"
The old monk's voice rang out, very slowly and calmly, without any mood swings.
It's like a pool of stagnant water.
After listening to the words, the monk in black turned his head again, looked at the old monk in front of him, and said: "Since I can't convince you, I'm not here to convince you this time. It's just that they actually want to do something, so don't stop them.
That’s fine.”
Since there is no way to persuade an old man like this, then don't persuade him.
"They are all meaningless things."
The old monk's old voice came out from the temple, but it was still very faint.
"Since it is meaningless to do something, then it is probably meaningless not to do it. Why bother to stop it? Just do it as they want."
The monk in black tried his best to keep his voice calm. When dealing with such an old man, calmness is the most important thing to do.
The old monk said nothing. It is indeed difficult for people like him to be persuaded, but what if the person who persuades him always stands from his perspective?
The monk in black said: "You have been practicing for many years and you don't care about anything, but we have not yet reached such a profound state of cultivation."
"You are scolding me."
The old monk spoke, but he still showed no emotion or anger.
The monk in black didn't say anything, didn't deny it, in fact, he admitted it.
The old monk said softly: "No one has dared to talk to me like this for many years."
As he opened his mouth, an inexplicable pressure appeared, starting from the small temple, and only fell on the monk in black.
After living for so many years, it is difficult for the old monk to show his emotions, but this oppression shows that his mood at the moment is at least not that good.
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on the forehead of the monk in black, and he was oppressed by great pressure.
But he still didn't say anything, at least he didn't admit his mistake.
There are some things he doesn't think he is wrong about.
The old monk said nothing, his white eyebrows just rose up.
The monk in black wanted to speak, but could no longer speak at the moment.
But the next moment, a hand was put on his shoulder. He looked at the small temple and said with a smile: "You don't like to be reasonable. Coincidentally, I don't like it either? Then I will demolish your ruined temple."
