This abbot is also a person. If Zhao Yun hadn't observed him carefully enough, it would be difficult to notice anything strange about him.
Because the abbot's expression at this time was extremely appropriate. He was neither overly angry nor completely calm. He looked like a puppet with a small influence who was pulled out as a shield.
At the same time, this performance was completely consistent with the image of him personally coming out to greet them, while these elders were just waiting in the lobby.
But it was precisely because it was so consistent that it made Zhao Yun suspicious.
Everything is too perfect, but it shows that it wants to hide something.
Maybe the abbot's situation in Fohai Temple is indeed what he showed, but Zhao Yun believes that this is just what the abbot wants to show to others.
Including the abbot's words and deeds after they arrived here, as well as the slightly introductory questions, they could vaguely see that the abbot seemed to be making a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves, and divert trouble to the east.
By directing the internal conflicts and anger of Fohai Temple to Maplewood Town, an external goal was established.
At the same time, through the strength and internal conflicts of Maplewood Town, the strength of both parties was consumed, while he hid behind with strength that was neither weak nor strong, and finally came out to benefit.
Countless thoughts suddenly passed through Zhao Yun's mind, but all were based on the fact that his analysis of the abbot was correct.
If you guess wrong...it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
After all, Zhao Yun had no intention of selecting a suitable target at once. Apart from the abbot, who was still unclear about the details, he had two other candidates.
One is silent and has no fluctuation in his expression. He is suspected to be one of the monks in the power struggle in Fohai Temple. The other has a sulky face. He belongs to the group that has a certain strength in the struggle, but is not the strongest. Monk.
Together with the abbot, these are the three main targets currently selected by Zhao Yun.
As for whether the three people can find the person or people he needs, Zhao Yun is not worried. The worst-case scenario is that the negotiation breaks down and he attacks forcefully. Of course, he still has some confidence in himself. , the probability of a forced attack in the end should be low.
At this time, all the monks who were angered by Zhao Yun in the hall burst out with powerful momentum, and they all fell on Zhao Yun.
The person who can become the elder of the three major Buddhist temples in the Foguang Desert is naturally not weak in strength, and the superimposed momentum actually makes Zhao Yun feel a bit overwhelmed.
Of course, it's just hard work. If you want to really suppress him, this level is not enough.
If everyone in the hall were to put pressure on him now, there would probably still be some possibility of suppressing him, but at the moment it was just the monks who were not enough to serve as thugs.
What's more, after losing a lot of combat power at the hands of the Demon Buddha Lord not long ago, the three major Buddhist temples can be said to be at their weakest at this time, and their combat power is much weaker than when they were at their peak.
And the monks here are not all brainless, they just paid attention to Zhao Yun's last provocative words and the previous words.
Solved the scourge of Lord Demon Buddha?
Yes, when the Lord Demon Buddha realized his great wish and prepared to sacrifice blood to all living beings and create his own kingdom, due to various arrangements before his resurrection, the three major Buddhist temples were suppressed with almost no resistance. Most of the monks could only Waiting for death.
But at a certain moment, suddenly that restraint disappeared, and then the prototype of the entire Buddha Kingdom began to collapse, and they regained their freedom.
However, it is impossible for those monks who have integrated into the Buddhist kingdom to be resurrected. Among them are a large number of core figures from the three major Buddhist temples, so the turmoil arose from this.
If analyzed carefully, Maplewood Town seems to be one of the contributors to the current situation.
More importantly, Maplewood Town actually defeated the arrogant Demon Buddha Lord. How strong must it be?
In their current situation, if Maplewood Town takes action against them, can they persist?
Coupled with the Maplewood Town mission that is now here, who can say for sure what these guys are here to do, whether the friendly relationship is fake, deliberately irritating them, making them take the initiative, and using this as an opportunity to attack them. It’s true!
For a time, many people who thought of this silently took back the momentum they had released, and asked Zhao Yun to complete the screening again, and then deliberately showed a vague expression of regret on his face.
People who noticed this felt a little chill in their hearts, feeling that when dealing with people in Maplewood Town, they must be prepared with seventy or eighty eyes, otherwise they would not be sure to fall into the other party's trap at any time.
At this time, Zhao Yun did not expect it at all. It was the abbot who took the initiative to ask: "Kill the Demon Buddha Lord? Was it you who solved the Demon Buddha Lord?"
Zhao Yun smiled scornfully and said proudly: "If it weren't for me in Fenglin Town, who do you think would have the strength to deal with the Demon Lord?"
"You know, when the Demon Buddha Lord was resurrected, we were the ones who defeated him in Maplewood Town. There was a first time, can't we do it a second time?"
“I don’t know where that guy’s ashes have flown to now.”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, with a mixture of pride and ruthlessness.
In an instant, an extremely cold aura was suddenly released, like a ferocious ice dragon, dispersing all the surrounding aura and even suppressing the opponent in turn.
"snort……"
Many of the monks present groaned in unison, and were forced by Zhao Yun's momentum, and their backs hit the back of the chair hard.
Zhao Yun said with a half-smile: "Or do you think that we in Maplewood Town don't have the strength and have the leisure to come here and talk about the mountains with a group of monks?"
"So everyone, it's better to be more neat and tidy. I will complete the task early and go back to deliver the work early, and you can continue to maintain your previous status."
"Now, how about we talk about how to establish a friendly relationship? Guests and hosts are welcome, let the abbot say a few words first. What kind of friendly relationship do you think we should establish?"
Zhao Yun's eyes fell on the abbot. He was very curious about this abbot now. If his guess was correct, maybe this abbot was their most suitable target to defeat Fohai Temple.
There are ambitions, a city, and strength, but they are lacking in strength, so they can only use other means to weaken the strength of others first.
What would happen if another force suddenly extended an olive branch to him and made up for his only flaw?
Of course, in order to make him feel at ease, the help of this power must be conditional. The conditions must make him extremely uncomfortable, but within the acceptable range. Otherwise, it will not be credible for people like him. degree and binding force.
Zhao Yun is confident that he can set out the conditions for the abbot to be moved by him. The only thing that needs to be determined is the abbot's true face.
Therefore, Zhao Yun felt that he had to let the abbot express himself more. As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will miss the mark. The more the abbot expresses, the more Zhao Yun can portray his essence.
The abbot seemed a little hesitant about Zhao Yun's question. After taking a look at the other people in the hall, he said thoughtfully: "Let the elders express their opinions first. I haven't decided yet."
"Oh." Zhao Yun responded nonchalantly, and then said casually: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if other eminent monks talk first."
"However, as the abbot, you can't come up with an idea immediately. It seems that you are not very competent at your job." Zhao Yun joked.
The abbot closed his eyes with a kind look on his face, and there seemed to be a vague light of Buddha appearing on his body: "Your Majesty, the old monk is just a representative elected by everyone. When it comes to major matters, you still have to listen to everyone's opinions."
Zhao Yun waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is. What do other eminent monks think? Should we continue to shirk? Then this matter will be endless. I'm still waiting to go back." Returning to life."
Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, and then an elder said expressionlessly: "I think this is okay. Now that Fohai Temple has suffered a lot of damage under the attack of evil spirits, it is a time when we need to recuperate. Since Maplewood Town is willing to be friendly with us Living together is a great good."
"However, although we don't care about worldly affairs, we also know that everyone comes and goes for profit, so there is no free lunch, so you might as well tell me what the conditions of Maplewood Town are."
When the elder bluntly revealed the stakes involved, Zhao Yun did not panic at all and said with a smile: "This is natural. Of course, we in Maplewood Town will not do good deeds for no reason."
"As long as Fohai Temple agrees to give one-third of its area of power as a reward for us to deal with the Demon Buddha Lord for you, Fenglin Town will guarantee that it will never take action against Fohai Temple within ten years!"
Hearing this, the expressions of many monks suddenly changed, and one-third of the area of their sphere of influence was really like a lion's mouth!
It seems that Fenglin Town has decided that they are now unable to fight against Fenglin Town, and they have come to chop out their flesh.
But knowing this, they found that they had no power to resist.
After all, as far as the actual situation is concerned, it is most likely that Maplewood Town defeated Lord Demon Buddha.
Regardless of whether the three major Buddhist temples are hostile or friendly, as the top forces in the same area, they naturally understand their respective situations. Of course, they also know that the other two Buddhist temples cannot have the strength to defeat the Demon Buddha Lord.
Although I don’t know how Maplewood Town did it, it definitely has the power to threaten them greatly.
If we reject the other party's conditions, I'm afraid Fohai Temple is really in danger of being destroyed!
The breathing in the lobby suddenly became much heavier, and solemn expressions appeared on the faces of the monks present. Even those with deep thoughts now had to consider how to achieve this without irritating Maplewood Town as much as possible. own purpose.
