After receiving the order, the saints left the Zixiao Palace and started planning the battle for humanity.
They were walking back, each with a faint smile on their face, but they were not willing to speak first.
These are two camps, Buddhism and Taoism, so they each have their own agendas.
"Haha, you two senior brothers, what do you think about the human race and the demon race?"
"Junior brother is stupid and doesn't know where to start." Zhunti humbly asked for advice with a smile, with a hard-working look on his face, as if he was in trouble.
However, it is not clear whether it is really difficult or false.
In fact, he was opening his mouth to test.
Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi naturally knew what he was thinking. They were smiling, their Taoism was melodious, and the demeanor of the most holy master was fully displayed.
It looks like a living statue, the kind that is worshiped in a temple.
No one spoke and the atmosphere was quiet. The smile on Zhunti's face stiffened a bit. As if he had seen through his predicament, Yuanshi opened his mouth and said with a faint smile.
"Even my junior brother has no clue, and so does my senior brother." He didn't want to say anything more, making it clear that he didn't want to reveal anything.
Yuanshi had always looked down upon Zhunti and was too lazy to say anything to him.
Being rejected in this way, Zhunti felt very humiliated and looked a little unhappy on his face.
How can you say that you are also the second greatest being in the West when you have a hot face but a cold butt?
hold head high?
At this time, I, who had been silent until now, stroked his beard, and Youyou spoke to break the deadlock.
"Junior Brother Zhunti is really humble. From Pindao's point of view, Junior Brother, you are talented in this area."
"If I remember correctly, my junior brother was the trigger for the Lich War in the past. Today is just like in the past, and the situation between the human race and the demon race is just like the two lich races back then."
"So Pindao feels that this deadlock needs you to break it. No one else can do it except you!"
I smiled and said seriously. These words were rough and detailed, well-founded and flattering in fact.
In the past, the fuse of the Lich War was because the Great Yi of the Witch Clan shot down the nine Golden Crow Princes of the Demon Clan.
Why did Prince Jinwu fly out of Tanggu? The reason was that Zhunti's seduction deceived them out of Tanggu.
Then the earth was scorched, and the Wu tribe couldn't bear to live on the ground. In anger, Dayi shot down the nine Golden Crow princes, which made the two emperors of the demon tribe furious, and a war broke out.
Now the time has come for another confrontation between the human race and the demon race, and one of the targets is also the Golden Crow.
This is perfect for the Golden Crow killer Zhunti. Maybe this kid has a strange charm for the Golden Crow, and maybe he can still lure Lu Ya to start a war with the human race this time.
What I said is not unreasonable, and it can be regarded as helping Zhunti look back on the glorious days of the past.
After listening to this, Zhunti actually felt a little comfortable. He felt a kind of complacency and pride from the bottom of his heart. This was a kind of joy of being recognized, and the person who praised him was still Lao Tzu.
Although the two sides fought openly and secretly and had some disagreements, Taiqing Laozi recognized his powerful quasi-ti.
After all, I rarely praise him like this, because he knows very well that with my character, it is difficult to praise someone like this.
If it were anyone else, he might not feel this way, but I am different.
After all, the other party is Xuanmen Senior Brother, the first person below Dao Ancestor, and he is transcendent in every aspect.
"Senior Brother Taiqing is a compliment...Junior Brother is just doing his job."
Zhunti was satisfied in his heart, but he didn't agree with his words. He just waved his hands and said modestly, as if he was talking about something trivial.
Jieyin on the side looked strange and a little dumbfounded. I suddenly praised his junior brother like this. It obviously didn't look like he had good intentions. Maybe he was planning something secretly.
"Senior Brother Taiqing, it's just that the matter is too important to be so hasty. I think it's better to discuss it in the long term. He is a bit reckless and I'm afraid that he will mess up the matter. Then it will be difficult for the teacher to explain.
"
Jie Yin smiled and said, he didn't want Zhunti to take over this task. After all, this world is different from the past. In the past, there were ten golden crows, and they were seduced as long as they were said to seduce.
But now there is only one Lu Ya, who has gained wisdom through every experience, how can he be unprepared? Lu Ya is unruly and has good cultivation, so he is not so easy to fool.
If things go wrong, the blame will fall on the West.
Jie Yin would rather do nothing than make a mistake.
He had good intentions and was thinking about the overall situation, but what he said was somewhat disrespectful to Zhun.
This made Zhunti feel a little unhappy. He had just been praised by others, and now he was belittled by his own family. It was too much.
He didn't have an attack, and he wanted to hear what his senior brother had to say.
"You two junior brothers are overly concerned. I haven't finished my words yet. It's not too late to listen to what I have to say before making a decision!" I smiled hoarsely, full of divine brilliance, and the bright smile made even the sun god jealous.
"I am all ears." The saints became interested and wanted to hear Lao Tzu's lofty views.
Lao Tzu did not show off, and said directly: "The human race and the demon race are calm on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents. In the past, they shared the same hatred and jointly dealt with the heaven. That was because they had a common enemy.
But now that the imperial court has long since disappeared and the world has no master, it is natural that we can no longer bear it at this time."
"Ying Zheng and Lu Ya are both born to be emperors. They cannot be inferior to others. There will definitely be a showdown between them."
I said leisurely, looking like the old Zhuge who was strategizing.
The saints' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were convinced.
The principles are very simple, but after I explained it, I felt more enlightened.
I ignored the reactions of the saints and continued.
"Although Ying Zheng and Lu Ya are both emperors, there is a big gap between them. The power of the human race and the power behind them are far greater than that of the demon race."
"If the two races really fight, the final winner will probably be the human race."
"Because there is that person behind Ying Zheng and Sun Wukong's help."
Having said this, I paused for a moment, looked at the saints who seemed to be asking about something, and asked them to talk and express their opinions.
"I seem to understand what senior brother means." Zhunti's eyes lit up and he understood deeply.
"We know this, and Lu Ya also knows this. If a powerful force joins the Monster Race at this time... to balance the power between the two races, or even the Monster Race completely surpasses the Human Race, then this balance will be
Be broken."
Zhunti had a smile on his face and bright eyes, finally understanding what I meant and planned.
This is to let them join the demon clan and help Lu Ya deal with the human clan.
In other words, it is to start this war and muddy the waters. As for the final winner, it does not matter.
I nodded slightly and looked at Zhunti with approval, saying nothing.
