"Not all the elders in the clan are people who stick to the ancestral rules. Elder Yun Shanhai also supports me in doing this. In fact, we have already opened up a corner outside the clan and tried to recruit disciples from other races. We planned to bring back useful talents after we trained them. It's a pity that the number of people we recruited was very small, and even fewer of them could become useful." Wu Kuihu said.
After hearing this, a doubt in Shen Luo's heart was finally resolved.
Yuan Qiu, whom he met at the beginning, was most likely one of these people.
"Chief Wu, Senior Yun, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Jiang Shentian endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Several people turned their heads and looked at him.
"A hundred years ago, the internal strife among the demons had already quelled the Chiyou demonic threat. Why do you keep talking about the demon invasion?" Jiang Shentian expressed his doubts.
He thought that it was probably because the Shenmu tribe was too secluded that they had no access to information and were not aware of this matter.
Wu Kuihu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said:
"We are aware of what you said. However, we remain skeptical about the view that the demonic threat has been resolved."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Shentian frowned.
"Although our Shenmu tribe is closed, we are not completely oblivious to what is happening outside. We know a thing or two about some of the things happening in various states. Since the alliance between humans, demons, and immortals, the invasions by the demons have indeed been decreasing, and the scale has also shrunk a lot compared to before. But is the Three Realms really peaceful?" Wu Kuihu asked.
When Shen Luo heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that Wu Kuihu's question coincided with the worries he had always had in his heart.
"Senior, are you saying that although the demonic plague has been resolved... although the demonic plague has been resolved on the surface, the Three Realms are not actually at peace?" He couldn't help but ask.
"At least within the human race, the previously hidden contradictions are beginning to be exposed more and more. Disputes are piling up between some secular small countries in various continents, and the outbreaks of war are increasing year by year." Wu Kuihu said.
"The various branches of the human race are already complex and diverse. Without the external oppression of the demon race, internal conflicts are bound to emerge. This is also the inevitable development of history. When the mountains and rivers are restored and the dust settles, everything will naturally stabilize, right?" Jiang Shentian asked.
"Brother Jiang, do you know how heavy the weight of these eight words 'the mountains and rivers are restored, the dust settles' is? Behind them are living lives. The earth is in chaos, the mountains and rivers are stained with blood, and the turbid air in the world is bound to rise. How is this different from when the demons were in chaos?" At the end, Shen Luo himself was a little stunned.
Vaguely, he seemed to have grasped something.
Hearing Shen Luo's words, Wu Kuihu was also a little surprised, and there was a bit more admiration in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for my words." Jiang Shentian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then he reacted and said quickly.
"It is rumored that the Buddha Tathagata visited the three realms and four continents and found that people's minds have changed, greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love and desire are rampant in the world, and the world is in decline. That's why he ordered his disciple Jin Chan to reincarnate and obtain Buddhist scriptures, spread them to all directions, in order to correct people's mistakes and change the morals, in order to get back to the basics. But now that Mahayana Buddhism has spread throughout the world, it is still difficult to educate sentient beings. If this continues, the demonic plague... I don't think it will really be resolved." Shen Luo also expressed his doubts.
