Infinity we are monsters

Chapter 221 The World Is in Chaos (Part [-])
The tent of the Lord of Worshiping the Moon is located in the northwest of the military camp. It is square and covered with a moon-white flannelette, which is not luxurious.

In the tent, several oil lamps were lit to illuminate the surroundings. The interior layout was simple and neat. The most conspicuous thing was only two rows of bookshelves, located on both sides of the desk, filled with books of various colors.

After Baiyue led Zhao Chenping to his seat, he poured him a cup of tea, and said lightly, "Brother Yao, do you know why the world outside is suddenly in chaos?"

Zhao Chenping was puzzled and asked him for advice.

Baiyue smiled slightly and said, "This starts five years ago."

five years ago?
Zhao Chenping's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be related to him! ?
The next moment, I heard Baiyue slowly preaching: "Five years ago, the ancient fire monster sleeping in Lishu Mountain suddenly woke up for some reason, causing an abnormality in the ground veins, and the aura of Lishu Mountain rioted. The mountain was overwhelmed and collapsed. The land destroyed all the living beings in a radius of hundreds of miles. The fall of the Shu Mountain caused a huge earthquake, and the towns within thousands of miles around were damaged to varying degrees. This is the border land of Nanzhao Kingdom , there are aftermaths. The land of the Central Plains suddenly became riddled with holes, and there were countless refugees, but the Central Plains court failed to rescue the disaster, causing large-scale riots. This is a natural and man-made disaster."

After Zhao Chenping listened, his face sank like water, and his mind was complicated.

The leader of worshiping the moon glanced at him, took a sip of tea slowly, and continued: "The collapse of Shushan not only caused natural disasters and man-made disasters, but also countless demons. Lishushan is the largest demon world in the world, and there are many demons in it. , although there were many casualties when Shushan collapsed, most of them were little monsters worth mentioning. The important task of eliminating demons, but at that time, the gate of the Shushan School was broken, causing countless deaths and injuries, and its vitality was severely damaged. It was impossible to stop it. In the end, it could only unite with many other sects of cultivating immortals and send disciples to various places in the Central Plains to eliminate demons. During the time of the demon, the local people have suffered from it for a long time. This is the disaster of the demon."

"As a result, the Central Plains were in chaos, wars broke out everywhere, and the people suffered unspeakably. Our Nanzhao Kingdom has good weather every year, and the world is happy. The king of our country saw that the people in neighboring countries were in dire straits, so he couldn't be indifferent. So he sent a righteous teacher to the Central Plains to rescue them. , Everywhere I go, the common people eat pots of oatmeal to welcome the king's teacher..."

Zhao Chenping frowned when he heard this, how could he be talking about crooked buildings? Immediately, he coughed lightly and interrupted: "Master, do you mean that the ruins in the mountains outside Hangzhou were caused by the war between monsters?"

"exactly."

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult was not annoyed at being interrupted, and his expression remained gentle. After nodding, he returned to the topic and continued: "The fall of Shushan Mountain was a natural disaster, but it was not without reason. The cause was the fire monster. When Shushan Mountain fell, At that time, the Fire Beast also wreaked havoc on the human world, causing purgatory wherever it went. However, not long after the Fire Beast was born, it was controlled by Nuwa's descendants and let it sleep inside a volcano again. Later, for some unknown reason, the Central Plains monks, They determined that the descendants of Nuwa were the culprits who awakened the fire beast and caused the collapse of Shu Mountain, and launched an all-out campaign. The mountains outside Hangzhou were an important battlefield. Nuwa descendants gathered here many people from Shu Mountain. The escaped demons all had extraordinary supernatural powers, but they were all willing to be restrained by them and did not harm the world. More than two years ago, the Shushan sect gathered countless monks and launched a fierce battle with the demons here. It was just a fight between gods and immortals. , ordinary people suffered disaster, and in just half a day, the people near Hangzhou City suffered heavy casualties due to the unexpected disaster. Nuwa's descendants couldn't bear it, so they took the initiative to evacuate."

Seeing that he was talking about the key point, Zhao Chenping stopped suddenly, and hurriedly asked: "Then what happened afterwards? Where did they go?"

Hearing the words, the leader of the Moon Worship Sect smiled faintly, and asked back: "Brother Yao, I don't know what they have to do with you? It makes you so nervous."

"They're my buddies."

The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult nodded slightly: "So, you also escaped from Lishu Mountain?"

"That's it."

After hearing this, the leader of worshiping the moon showed a smile and said, "Then what I just told you, has it ever helped you?"

Zhao Chenping frowned, feeling a little weird in his heart, but he still nodded and admitted it frankly.

"In that case, to be fair, don't you want to do me a little favor first?"

"What are you busy with?"

"The people of Hangzhou City are waiting for the Nanzhao Kingdom to rescue them, but the Central Plains court is going against the trend and resisting desperately, so that both sides suffered heavy casualties. I can't bear it, and I want to ask you to help me break through the city gate. .”

Zhao Chenping secretly laughed when he heard this. The leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult was really shameless. He talked about invading the Central Plains in such a high-sounding way. However, he was a demon now and had no time to care about the secular affairs of the world. He asked with some confusion: "Master of the Moon Worshiping Cult,... With your level of cultivation, the city of Hangzhou can be destroyed with just a few clicks, why do you have to ask me to help you?"

"I have my own difficulties."

"Oh, I would like to hear about it."

The Lord of Worshiping the Moon smiled gently, and said: "I am the Lord of Worshiping the Moon, and I am the god in the eyes of millions of believers in the entire Nanzhao Kingdom. God is omnipotent, but God cannot satisfy all the wishes of believers. God wants Keep a sense of mystery and distance, so even if I see my believers die every day and feel sad in my heart, I can't do anything at will. But this is just a trivial matter for you."

Zhao Chenping looked at the indifferent expression of the Moon Worshiping Sect Master, and couldn't help admiring it. No wonder the Moon Worshiping Sect could rule the entire Nanzhao Kingdom. It's really that the Moon Worshiping Sect Master has a thick face and a dark heart, and he sees human nature clearly. Such a character is ambitious With ability, success is almost a certainty.

However, these have nothing to do with him. He came here just to see how Linger and Ari are doing, not to participate in the war of mortal hegemony, and immediately said bluntly: "Master, forgive me for being powerless, you Little favor, I really can't help."

Upon hearing the words, the leader of the Moon Worship Sect said with a half-smile: "It's not good for you to do this. I helped you, but you didn't help me. It's not fair."

Zhao Chenping nodded in agreement: "It's a bit unfair. But I remember that I didn't force you to help me, right?"

Baiyue put down the teacup slowly, staring at him calmly with a pair of deep eyes, expressionless: "Are you playing a rascal with me?"

Zhao Chenping looked at him calmly: "It depends on what you think, anyway, I am alone, if I want to leave, I should still be able to leave."

The Lord of Worshiping the Moon and him looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly smiled, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Chenping again, and said lightly: "You are very special, I admire you a little bit, if this is the case, I will form a good relationship with you, you go."

"Hey, wait, Master, you haven't told me where the descendants of Nuwa went after they left here?"

The corner of the worship leader's mouth twitched when he heard the words, and said, "I don't know either."

"Really? You won't lie to me because I don't help you?"

Zhao Chenping looked suspicious.

"It depends on what you think."

The leader of worshiping the moon smiled slightly, then gently blew on the smell of hot tea, and tasted it leisurely.

. . .

Zhao Chenping finally left. Although he didn't hear about Ling'er from the Moon Worshiper, he didn't care too much.Although the Moon Worshiper appears to be well-educated and gentle on the outside, he is extremely crazy and arrogant in his bones, especially his cultivation is still unfathomable.

When encountering such people, Zhao Chenping always chooses to stay away from them.

Knowing roughly what the world has experienced in the five years since he left, Zhao Chenping felt a little heavy in his heart. Thinking that at this moment, Linger might still be avoiding the pursuit of monks in the Central Plains because of his greed. He blamed himself even more.

We must find Ling'er as soon as possible.

Zhao Chenping thought for a while, and planned to go to the Jade Buddha Temple near Heishui Town to see if the little stone was still there, maybe he had news about Ling'er.

Hangzhou City is not far from Heishui Town, and Zhao Chenping will be there in the blink of an eye.

Flying in the air, he could see from a distance that the Jade Buddha Temple had expanded a lot, the incense was flourishing, and believers were coming and going in an endless stream.

Seeing this, Zhao Chenping nodded secretly. Although the little stone is a monster, it was transformed by the Buddha holding a Buddhist bead. It has a profound Buddha nature. In addition, it did not take the old road of forcing people to become monks with magic power as before, but studied the Dharma intensively. The people of the world are now in troubled times, and the common people pray to gods and worship Buddha even more. It is not surprising that this scale can be achieved.

After Zhao Chenping landed in a remote place, he mixed with the crowd along the way, followed by many believers, and headed towards the Jade Buddha Temple.

It's just that as soon as he approached the main gate of the Jade Buddha Temple, he was blocked by a burst of golden light. Zhao Chenping tried a little bit, and found that it would be troublesome to force his way in, so he used a few spells to scare off the welcoming monks at the gate and let them enter to report .

Not long after, he saw that although his face was still immature, the little stone with a dignified expression came out with several monks.The believers he met on the road saluted him one after another, and Xiaoshi also returned the salute seriously one by one.

After leaving the temple gate, Xiao Shitou looked at Zhao Chenping carefully, and recognized him as a monster. He knew it in his heart, and immediately gave a Buddhist ceremony, and said in a calm tone: "Amitabha, I don't know why this benefactor wants to find this little monk. thing?"

Seeing his expression, Zhao Chenping knew that he didn't recognize him, and immediately smiled and said: "Little Shitou, do you still remember the chicken demon who practiced with Linger in your temple decades ago?"

"Oh! So it's benefactor Zhao."

Xiao Shitou suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, benefactor Zhao is only using a little transformation technique to cover the eyes of the little monk. Such a cultivation level is gratifying."

"Hey, the tone you speak now really resembles those old monks."

"Amitabha Buddha, old and young, are only superficial and similar in tone, but in fact the Buddha Dharma is the same."

Zhao Chenping chuckled, waved his hands and said: "Little Shitou, I didn't come here to fight with you, I just wanted to ask you if you know about Linger's news."

"Amitabha, as far as I know, in order to avoid the monks in the Central Plains, she has taken many monsters and left Nanzhao."

Nanzhao Kingdom?

Zhao Chenping sighed in his heart, waved the little stone goodbye immediately, and flew into the sky.
