Zhang Wenqian was shocked, "Second uncle, what do you mean? We … we need to contact the beasts?"
Zhang Gui took out a small wine flask from his pocket and took a big gulp of strong liquor. His thin cheeks turned red as he sighed, "The nobles have been ruling the human race for thousands of years. Their influence is everywhere, and their power is deeply rooted. Without a large scale war, it is impossible to overthrow them. Every time the beasts fight, the nobles' power will be greatly weakened, and many of their top people will die. Although the beasts are scary, it is also our only chance."
"But … but we are also trying to overthrow the nobles' rule to drive the beasts away. If we can't stop the beasts from invading, the human race will be wiped out!"
Zhang Gui shook his head, "Don't worry, the human race won't lose, let alone be wiped out. Not long ago, I received secret information that the Beijing University is researching a new type of mecha that can be operated by ordinary people. The material of the mecha is also ordinary synthetic metals. Once it becomes a fighting force, it can make up for the weakness of the human race.
Let's not talk about the technology for now. Let's talk about this time. Although the beasts are aggressive, the Heavenly Thunder Palace is guarding Yunling. Those lamas and monks are not simple. Among them, the four Wisdom Kings all have the strength to fight against the beasts. Yunling is not far from the central war zone, and the central war zone's aerial combat troops are very mobile. They can come to help in an instant. In a few days, they will drive the beasts out of Yunling. "
After he finished, he hesitated for a while and continued in a low voice, "Wenqian, you have grown a lot these years. Those who want to do great things should not have a benevolent heart. I can tell you something. Your brother Fu sneaked into the beasts' territory as early as last year and reached an agreement with the leader of the beasts. We only need to provide them with some information, and they will help us overthrow the nobles' rule. Then we will divide the territory and enjoy peace forever."
Zhang Wenqian was shocked, "You … you mean the beasts are attacking Yunling this time not because of the climate change, but because of brother Fu!"
"You can say that since the appearance of the Astral Aurora a few years ago, the intelligence of the Direbeasts has become higher and higher. They can also think, and they can also create a good living environment for their own species. In the past two years, many business groups have been secretly contacting the Direbeasts, exchanging food, alcohol, and other resources with the Direbeasts for their fur and bones. Now, many of the gene medicines and armor equipment in the market have come from this. Humans and Direbeasts can benefit from each other.
Zhang Gui released another important piece of news. "This time, the Direbeasts' target is not a human city, but the Heavenly Thunder Palace in the Great Snow Mountain. They want to snatch the Bodhi Sarira, the inheritance of the Heavenly Thunder Palace. This kind of Sage's inheritance is not only suitable for humans, but also for Direbeasts!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the snow outside the valley. The sound was very heavy, as if it had an inexplicable power. All the sounds in the surroundings were drowned out by the heavy footsteps, and there was no other sound.
The two of them hurriedly stood up, and a tall and sturdy monk walked in from the entrance of the valley. He was nearly three meters tall, and there were nine marks on his sharp head. A string of black Buddhist prayer beads hung around his thick neck, and each of them was as big as a fist, faintly glowing with a red light.
The monk had such a rough appearance, but his skin was as white and delicate as a baby's. His palms, which were exposed outside the monk's robe, were very slender and white, like a woman's hands. He was also holding a silk handkerchief, and from time to time, he would wipe the corners of his mouth.
It was very strange for such a huge contrast to appear on one person.
The monk glanced at the people in the valley, and then looked at the wine pot in Zhang Gui's arms. He pursed his lips and smiled. "This old monk smelled the fragrance of wine, and specially came to ask for a bowl of wine to drink." His voice was sharp and old, neither male nor female, and hearing it gave people goosebumps.
In the Yunling Province, the status of monks and lamas was very high. Zhang Gui came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Greetings, Great Master, please come and have a drink."
The monk walked over with "heavy" steps. With every step he took, the ground shook slightly, as if a heavy bulldozer was pushing forward, and there was a strong sense of oppression.
Zhang Gui couldn't help but take a step back, and said with reverence in his eyes, "I wonder which Zen master of the Heavenly Thunder Palace is Great Master?"
The monk chuckled. "Haha, this old monk is not the stinky lamas of the Heavenly Thunder Palace who never take a bath."
Then, he sniffed and fixed his gaze on Zhang Wenqian who was behind Zhang Gui. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he said in surprise, "Not bad, not bad, this little girl is very beautiful, and she is also a water attribute body technique cultivator. Hmm … She has already completed half of the water energy filling her body. It is said that the body of a water attribute cultivator will become soft and boneless after reaching a certain stage. It is wonderful!"
Zhang Wenqian's expression changed, and she quietly took two steps back, grasping the long sword in her hand tightly.
Zhang Gui forced a smile and said, "Great Master, you must be joking. This is my niece, and we are a business group under the Qingyun Business Alliance. Our business group has always been on good terms with Grand Duke Skanda."
The monk curled his lips and said in disdain, "That old fart Skanda is now a Grand Duke. Back then, I could have slapped him into the sky with a single slap!"
Zhang Gui smiled embarrassedly, and then he remembered something. He hurriedly took out the wine pot in his arms and handed it over respectfully. "Great Master, the ferocious beasts attacked, and we left in a hurry. This wine is not very good. If there is another day, I will definitely serve you some good wine."
The monk took the wine pot and drank it in one gulp. He smacked his lips and said unsatisfied, "As long as it is wine, this old monk likes it. It is just that it is too little."
He did not deliberately suppress the alcohol, and his long and narrow eyes looked drunk. He looked at Zhang Wenqian again, and looked up and down. He smiled evilly and said, "Hehe, I did not expect to meet such a good furnace as soon as I come out of seclusion. It seems that you are still a virgin. Good, I am blessed today!"
Zhang Gui's expression changed drastically. Everyone in the valley had already woken up one after another. When they heard what the monk said, they cursed angrily and pulled out their weapons to surround him.
Zhang Wenqian could not bear the nausea that surged from the bottom of her heart. She snorted and pulled out her long sword. Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound, a blue sword light lit up the night sky and went straight for the monk.
The monk smiled and gently stomped his foot. The ground trembled violently, and gravel and snow flew everywhere. Everyone in the valley fell to the ground one after another, as if they were attracted to the ground by something, and could not move at all.
Zhang Wenqian, who was in the lead, hurriedly jumped up, but a strong suction force suddenly came from the ground. She staggered and fell to the ground, and could no longer stand up. She looked up at the monk in horror and said with a pale face, "Geomagnetic force!"
Zhang Gui gritted his teeth and propped himself up. He knelt on the ground and begged, "Great Master, please let us go. When we return to the city, we will give you all of our family property!"
The monk ignored him and walked toward Zhang Wenqian with big steps with a lewd smile.
At this moment, a cold and indifferent voice sounded in the sky, "Hurry up!"
The monk obviously shrank when he heard this voice. He respectfully said to the sky, "Yes." Then he turned and strode away.
In the boundless sky, a figure floated past. Only his eyes could be seen sweeping downwards. It was a pair of eyes that were as bright as the scorching sun. There was not the slightest bit of emotion in his eyes as he looked down at the people below, as if he was looking down at a group of ants.
When the heavy footsteps that sounded like muffled thunder could no longer be heard, the people in the valley got up one after another. Their faces were all pale, and their bodies could not help but tremble. The feeling just now was too terrifying. They were like a group of ants that could be crushed at any time.
Zhang Gui trembled as he got up. After a long time, his body stopped trembling. He looked at Zhang Wenqian who was standing in the same place and said with a bitter smile, "I don't know if we are lucky or unlucky to be able to see a human Saint!"
Zhang Wenqian came back to her senses, "That was a Saint just now?"
"Yes, if I guessed correctly, the person who flew by just now was one of the four Saints of the human race, Saint Linghong of the Longyang Temple in the south, which is also the Dragon Saint. That monk is his disciple, nicknamed the Yin Yang Monk. He is neither Yin nor Yang, neither male nor female. He was imprisoned by the Dragon Saint for a long time because of a big mistake he made.
