Comte laughed perfunctorily a few times, disapproving in his heart.

Typical of the Overthinking series, his name was not chosen by the master.

When his parents named him, it was unlikely that he had reference to the Tao Te Ching. In China, he was called a certain de, and there were many people with such and such virtues. It was just that the word "de" was commendable and nice, and his parents hoped that his descendants would all be talented people.

Just like when Gu Yi named his son Wuyou, he never thought of "Wouyou, a master of learning".

Hong San: "Mr. Kong has a special appearance, especially...he is so thin! I claim to be quite proficient in the art of observing people, but I can't see through them."

The monks looked at the old Taoist with strange expressions.

The tendencies... are so appropriate.

Comte hesitated for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "They say I am a god."

Hong San: "God?"

The old Taoist said: "Of course I don't agree with this. How can there be such a miserable immortal in the world?"

Zhu Wan Ning said seriously: "Immortals, please do not belittle yourself."

Of course you are not a god, you are the mortal body of a god. Zhu Wanning is different from others. She 100% believes in the words of the god, the master computer.

Other monks still have doubts in their hearts.

Especially Li Dan and others from Taihao Sect, because they knew Hong San's identity, they all braced themselves up and waited for the dean to make the final judgment.

Hong San shook his head and said: "It is not credible to say that gods are illusory. Besides, why are monks like us not regarded as gods by mortals? It is the nature of living beings to encounter incomprehensible things and conjecture into more powerful existences."

Li Dan and others understood it immediately.

Monks are not gods, but they are often regarded as gods by mortals.

This is under the premise that the monks integrate into the secular world and openly recruit disciples every year. If the monks live in seclusion collectively, the dragon appears but never ends, becomes a legend after many years, and occasionally reveals its tricks, the misunderstanding may be more serious.

In the same way, everyone believes that the old Taoist is the mortal body of the immortal... but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a way for the immortal to express his voice, and they cannot see through it.

So just like ordinary people, he was led into a ditch because of his lack of understanding and awe.

As expected of the dean, he revealed the mystery in just a few words.

Gu Wuyou couldn't open his mouth.

Zhu Wanning was able to speak, so she opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Ignorant guys, what does it have to do with me whether you believe it or not?

"But..." Hong San changed his tone, "I have a question for Mr. Kong. Do you know any monks?"

Comte: "Of course."

Hong San: "Then why aren't you afraid of monks?"

"Why should you be afraid?" Comte put on a candid face, "Are all monks villains, arrogant and rude, shouting and killing if they disagree with you? If you are not, then there is no need to be afraid. If

You are, there’s no point in being afraid.”

Comte's description of the monks makes people uncomfortable, but monks never think that they are unreasonable.

But everyone also knows that ordinary people are afraid of monks.

Therefore, Comte’s statement that “there is no point in fearing” seems to make sense, but it is not true. There are so many truths in the world, who can be always rational? Even an ignorant beast will struggle to survive when it encounters a catastrophic disaster and knows that it cannot escape.

Where's the wave?

Hong San said solemnly: "You are right, I was wrong."

The monks were shocked at that time.

No one expected that the senior master would take the initiative to admit his mistake. What is even more unbelievable is that he actually used honorifics!

Especially Li Dan and others who knew Hong San's identity were shocked beyond description.

Putting aside his status as the dean, as one of the few super experts in China, Hong San's age is by no means as young as he appears. The exact age is unclear, but no matter how old you are, he is still many times older than an ordinary old man, right?

He was in no position to address Comte as "you".

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Hong San has descendants, his grandson must be older than Kongde.

It's a characteristic of Middle-earth. It's not easy to use age as an excuse in front of monks. Ying Ying, the leader among the younger disciples, is actually in her forties.

Unless...the other party has something worthy of respect.

Li Dan was thinking a lot, and when he looked at the old Taoist's skinny monkey-like appearance, he suddenly felt an unusual feeling in his heart.

Hong San said: "I still don't think Mr. Kong is a god, but he does have extraordinary qualities. You must not be rude to him."

Li Dan quickly clasped his fists: "Disciple, please follow the instructions."

Others also agreed one after another.

Gu Wuyou opened his mouth and found that the confinement had disappeared, but he was no longer in a hurry to speak because he finally came back to his senses.

The purpose of this guy's nonsense is to open his eyes for the old Taoist!

Although he denies the theory of gods, a senior master of Taihao Sect, judging from the attitude of Li Dan and others, his status is still very unusual. What kind of impact will it have if he personally says that the Taoist priest is "extraordinary"?

The question is, why?

Since Hong San doesn't agree with gods, and it's impossible not to see that the old Taoist is a rotten old man, why would he do this, and what good would it do to him? Gu Wuyou thought hard, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

Of course, things in the world are complicated, and many things cannot be measured by benefits.

For example, when Gu Wuyou disappeared for many years, it was in the best interest of the family for Shangguan Yun to follow suit and terminate the engagement. However, he did not do that because he kept his promise and was loyal.

But Hong San doesn’t know the old Taoist at all.

"The training is over. You can go back to the mountain right away." Hong San said, "But before that, I have something to say."

Everyone listened attentively.

"The devil you killed today is called the White Devil. As you can see, the evil heretic is not a metaphor. It really exists and is the great enemy of Middle-earth."

"Yes, not only the monks, but the demon threatens the entire Middle-earth!"

"Their only purpose in coming to Middle-earth is to exterminate all living things and turn Middle-earth into a lifeless death land."

The cognitive gap between the demon and the monk described by Hong San was too large, and everyone was caught off guard.

Evil heretics interfere with cultivation - although it is mentioned in the classics, no one has actually encountered it, but this is the meaning of the existence of the devil, right? In the end, Hong San said that the devil threatens the entire world... It is too shocking to the three views.

Gu Wuyou hesitated and asked, "Them?"

Hong San glanced at Gu Wuyou appreciatively: "Yes, there is more than one white demon. Otherwise, if Middle-earth is so vast, how can one demon threaten Middle-earth? In fact, once the first white demon appears, it means there are more

They are on their way, and some have even arrived in Middle-earth."

Li Dan thought thoughtfully: "If the demon that arrived first doesn't activate, is it accumulating strength?"

If the White Devil had Robert's level of strength, he really wouldn't be able to make any waves in the middle-earth where monks were rampant.

They, a group of practitioners, worked hard to slay demons and paid a certain price, but it does not mean that monks above Nascent Soul also work so hard. Not to mention others, Dean Hong can make Robert disappear into ashes with just a wave of his hand. No matter how many empty guards there are, it is not good.

make.

Li Dan didn't know that Robert had another battleship in the void, and its defense was so strong that even Hong San had to find an opportunity to break through.

In Li Dan's view, only if there are enough demons, for example dozens or even hundreds of times more than the monks, and weapons similar to the Sky Guards are overwhelming, can they threaten China-Earth.

Hong San nodded: "White demons are not idiots, they are very cunning, and their intelligence is no worse than that of humans."

Zhu Wanning was puzzled: "White Devil...Why do you want to exterminate all living things?"

Regardless of humans, beasts, gods, or demons, there must be a reason for doing something. What good can it do to the White Demon if Middle-earth becomes a dead land?

"Why do you care so much?" Wang Feng, who had recovered somewhat, waved his hand, "Since we are enemies, just kill them and that's it."

If the white demon only dealt with humans, Wang Feng, as a demon cultivator, might not care much, at least it would be difficult to share the same hatred with the enemy. However, the other party wants to exterminate all living creatures, which is what the demon cultivator cannot bear.

If the tiger is gone, there will naturally be no tiger demon in the future.

But all intelligent life has social attributes. Monsters that have not been "naturalized" are rampant in the mountains, and they have to occupy a territory to subdue a group of little monsters...or be subdued.

Hong San: "Of course there is no need to ask for reasons when dealing with an enemy, but it is also necessary to understand the underlying reasons for what the enemy does. The real purpose of the White Demon's destruction of the world was discussed and analyzed by Hong Changkong and other seniors. Each sect has records, but it can only be grasped.

Teach me to look it up.”

"At the beginning?" Gu Wuyou discovered the problem again.

"I have said that demons have existed since ancient times, and I did not give the name of the White Demon." Hong San smiled, "In the battle of annihilation thousands of years ago, countless white demons swarmed into the Middle Earth, and the practitioners paid a heavy price to be able to survive."

Defeat the enemy and protect Middle-earth.”

Gu Wuyou heard another new term: the battle of world destruction.

There were so many messages and so many questions popping up that I didn’t know which one to ask first.

Hong San continued: "After the war, everyone analyzed that our cultivation needs to consume resources. Maybe the White Demon's destruction of the world is also a similar reason? However, during the fifty-year battle to destroy the world, there was no sign that the White Demon specifically collected certain resources."

The battle to destroy the world... lasted for fifty years!

Fifty years is not a long time for a monk, unless you have no confidence in forming elixirs. However, the monks present are all elites among the juniors of each sect, so there is no such problem.

But this is still shocking.
