Mullen's call-up order has been issued. With the tight organization of the Crescent Sect, the efficiency of operations brought by it, and the reaction and speed of the monks, within ten months, monks from all over the world will rush to the east on a large scale. So Sai Dianchi didn't have much time.
On how to quickly and effectively make friends with Mohad, Zhang Changan helped Sai Dianchi make a plan overnight. As an official who has been in charge of the affairs of the Grassland State for many years, Zhang Changan is used to taking all the details that can be considered into the scope of control, and formulating measures to deal with accidents, trying to make no mistakes.
Throughout the middle of the night, the two of them were intensively planning, and by the time the sky brightened, a careful plan had already been drawn up. After Zhang Changan confirmed that Sai Dianchi was clear about the plan, he burned the documents with spiritual fire, leaving no trace.
Sai Dianchi left Zhang Chang'an's residence and went to the Great Temple to be on duty. Of course he knew that part of the tasks of the call-up order would fall on him today. When he was making plans with Zhang Changan in the middle of the night yesterday, the five elders of the Great Temple must have made another plan together.
Now is the time for everyone to start to act, and Sai Dianchi himself is the only one who has to implement the two plans.
An inexplicable smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Sai Dianchi's mouth, and he felt that he was the most mysterious existence in the entire Baghdad city, and there was a powerful force behind him, which was extremely powerful.
This kind of experience is very mysterious, and it is hard to explain, but it makes him feel superior for no reason when he looks at other people, including the other high priests in charge.

It was as if they were gods aloft, and the other party was just an ant on the ground. They didn't know their own fate, let alone what they would encounter, and all of this depended on their own actions.
This is a feeling similar to controlling the fate of others. Sai Dianchi feels that he is a god walking in the dark, powerful and unpredictable, stalwart and wise.
Entering the Great Temple, Sai Dianchi felt a solemn atmosphere, all the monks coming and going were in a hurry, with solemn expressions and awe-inspiring eyes. There is a dangerous breath in the air, like a giant beast hiding fate, no one can escape its control, it will choose anyone to devour at any time.
Sai Dianchi's spine gradually felt a little chilly. At this moment, the inexplicable sense of superiority and strength in his heart was disappearing bit by bit. He realized that although he had double power, he was also taking double risks in this war.
If you are a little careless, not only will you die, but your family will also be implicated by yourself, not to mention that there will be no bones left, and you will be cast aside by the people of the country. These thoughts made Sai Dianchi's footsteps look heavy, and there was no trace of relaxation on his face, and he even felt a little uneasy.
In the eyes of others, his appearance naturally has different meanings.
Those who are lower than him can't help but wonder how serious the war in the Eastern Territory is when even the high priest in charge is walking on thin ice like this
And people who are equal to him or higher than him will think that Sai Dianchi is worrying about the country and the people, and feel uneasy about the situation in the country. This is not a qualified performance of a quiet superior, but it also proves his utter loyalty.
"High Priest Sai Dianchi, your complexion doesn't look very good, did you not rest last night?"
Sai Dianchi, who was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly heard someone talking to him, and his heart beat suddenly. He raised his head uneasily, and what he saw was Mohad's face with a friendly smile.
At this moment, Sai Dianchi's mood was extremely complicated.
It was Mohad who was talking, and the third-rate nobles who were to be "conquered" would inevitably become "weak people" to be used by Zhang Changan in Zhang Chang'an's plan. Facing the opponent at this time, Sai Dianchi already had a little psychological advantage.
If he met other elders, he might be panicked, thinking about how to cover up his true thoughts. But in front of Mohad, he immediately stabilized his mind a little, forced a smile, and said enthusiastically: "I am worried about the conscription order, but when it comes to hard work, it is definitely not as good as the elders."
As a strong man in the high-level priesthood, it doesn't matter if he doesn't rest for a few days, and he definitely doesn't look so bad. Sai Dianchi knew that Mohad was just looking for a topic to talk to him. Sai Dianchi is a top nobleman. After returning to Baghdad this time, he intends to make friends with others, so he is very popular now.
Without any accident, Sai Dianchi and Mohad walked together while exchanging greetings. It was still early at the moment, and it was not time to discuss matters, so the two went to have some breakfast together, during which time they had a pleasant conversation without exception.
When the two came to the conference hall, it was already full of people. In addition to the five elders, the thirteen principals, and some assistants, there were thirty or forty people in total. After the discussion last night, the elders will announce the implementation plan of the call-up order today.
Sai Dianchi came to his seat and sat down. What surprised him was that he saw Husu Nadine and Satuk! These two people, one is the high priest in charge of the Overwatch Council of the New Moon Sect in Karahan, and the other is the prince of Karahan. They are not in Mulu City right now, so how could they appear here together
Soon, Sai Dianchi thought of part of the reason.
Karakhan has been completely occupied by the Tang army, and the country is actually subjugated. Suddenly, Nadine has no position and errands there, so he will naturally come back.
It's just that, although Husu Nadine's status is not low, he also made some contributions to Kara Khan, but in the end he lost Kara Khan, and he failed to solve the power of the Tang Dynasty. Vice-principal High Priest.
As the prince of death, Satuk didn't have a decent army under his command, so he could only hug Dashi's thigh. However, his strength was weak, so his status could not be prominent. He can only rely on his status in the New Moon Sect to barely get a place in the Great Temple.
But if you can come to the center of the New Moon Sect, as long as you make more dignitaries, in the future the Dashi will restore Kara Khan's territory, and Satuk may still be the king of Kara Khan—or maybe Kara Khan will die. Go back and be a local chief official, a feudal official - that's not bad.
Because of his "conceived evil intentions", Sai Dianchi kept concentrating at the meeting, wanting to hear more useful news.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. At the very beginning, the Great Elder glanced at everyone with a stern look: "The holy army failed in the battle of Kara Khan. A large part of the reason is that the people of the Tang Dynasty were pervasive. Collected a lot of information for them! This put the Holy Army at a disadvantage from the very beginning, and they were defeated one after another!
"The confrontation between the Overwatch Council and the Tang people has shown that they also have a large number of people in the country. Until now, because of the outbreak of the war, we have not been able to concentrate our efforts in time to dig them out! That is to say, everyone, every one of you No one is safe!"
Hearing these words, and especially meeting the Great Elder's cold gaze full of scrutiny and suspicion, Sai Dian Chi felt a sudden chill in his heart. The common sense of being a guilty conscience made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
However, he had also received a lot of training from Zhang Chang'an, so he wouldn't show his feet easily, so he mustered up his courage immediately and did not avoid the eyes of the Great Elder.
After the other party looked away, Sai Dianchi breathed a sigh of relief, and it took a lot of effort to suppress the disorder of the heartbeat. He knew very well that with the Great Elder's cultivation base, even if his heartbeat and breathing were abnormal, it would become a fatal flaw at this time.
Sai Dianchi, who was sitting on pins and needles, gradually became dizzy due to the uncontrollable tension, so that he couldn't continue to hear what the great elder was saying. In this hall, all the most powerful masters and wisest superiors of the New Moon Sect are sitting, and they are all their own opponents!
Sai Dianchi felt a strong threat, as if he was alone in the midst of thousands of horses, there were countless swords and swords rushing towards him at every moment, and he would be crushed to pieces at any time, forever!
Responding to challenges calmly is easy to say, when the situation is imminent and everyone is the enemy, how many people can be calm
What's more, he is not a professional elaborator, and he has not received rigorous training for a long time.
Sai Dianchi gradually became unable to hold himself back, his forehead
Beads of sweat began to break out.
He is a big cannibal and a top nobleman, but now, he is planning something harmful to the country and is a traitor! What a despicable and shameless act, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and cast aside by all people!
The more Sai Dianchi thought about it, the more confused he became.
He inevitably thought of retreating, of confessing, and of returning from the wrong way. Many such stories even popped up in his mind.
Those heroes who were coerced for a while, or lost their minds for a while, and embarked on the road of betrayal, but because of timely awakening, did not make mistakes, but made meritorious deeds and were praised by later generations, lingered in Sai Dianchi's mind .
At this time, his hands subconsciously touched a piece of accessories under the skirt, which was as clear as ice. For a moment, almost habitually, Sai Dian's heart shook. It was a Jade Jue given to him by Zhang Changan. It was not very special, but the intention was clear.
"When you feel uneasy, rub it, it will calm you down." Sai Dianchi recalled Zhang Changan's words. This jade jue is actually not a magic weapon, nor does it have the effect of calming the mind, but Sai Dianchi has already cultivated such a habit during the long training in the past.
The beads of sweat on Sai Dianchi's forehead gradually dissipated, and the voice of the Great Elder returned to normal in his ears, no longer as hazy and blurred as before, seeming far and near, seeming real and unreal.
"If I have a change, I will die, and there will be no chance of becoming a hero!"
Sai Dianchi's eyes gradually regained clarity, and a hint of sternness gradually emerged, "Besides, what is a hero? Those stories are all deceptive tricks. They are used by the king to fool the people and make them serve him to death! How can I Can you believe this?"
Sai Dianchi continued to think: "There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who drive people, and those who are driven by people.
"The king establishes a country, thereby confirming his supreme status, and making all the people his own flock. In the final analysis, he is just using the power of the world to raise his own dignity! How has he ever really done better for the common people? If not, how can the powerful have privileges
"Everyone is doing it for themselves! But in order to ensure their own status, the king wants to deceive people, make the people loyal to the king, serve the country, fight for themselves and die for themselves. It is the most shameless thing in the world! Laugh at those stupid people The common people were instilled with these ideas by the king, reduced to sheep and swords, and they are still proud of it!
"That's right, the people are weak after all. If you don't form a group or a country, you can't have security and you can't guarantee your own survival. But I'm different. I'm a priest with a very high level of cultivation. Why should I use it as a sword for the Caliph ?If the country prospers, I will have more power? If the country dies, I will definitely die
"No, regime change is just an ordinary thing. Only one's own interests and strength can truly protect oneself. The Tang Dynasty also needs people to govern here, and I will still be a great nobleman! What does the caliphate's throne have to do with me? ?”
Sai Dianchi's eyes were as sharp as swords, and his eyes were bloodshot, "The caliph himself is not good enough. He was defeated in Karakhan, and now he can only hold on to Mulu City. He is about to die. I can't bury him with him! It is a wise choice to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty!"
Thinking of this, Sai Dianchi finally persuaded and hypnotized himself.
He has a clear, reasonable, and he believes that there are no flaws, no loopholes, and a very strong three views. Such three views are enough to support his next actions, so that he will no longer be confused or frightened.
Everyone needs their own philosophy of life and will have one. No matter right or wrong, you will become the moon above your head, illuminating your way forward.
"If you want to gain more power and have more powerful resources, you must do meritorious deeds!" Sai Dianchi felt refreshed and full of energy. In order to make yourself stronger, even if you are in a dangerous situation, you should, and even if you encounter difficulties, you must overcome them.
With his eyes clear, he began to listen carefully to what the Great Elder said below, and paid attention to everyone's reactions.
