"yes. ”

Hans replied proudly.

"I don't think this dress has anything to do with China. You should apply for an invention patent yourself. Lu Dongbin protested.

"Isn't it like that? But I remember...... Uh, why don't you wear that kind of clothes now?" Hans looked at Sun Wukong and the others in surprise.

"Immortals have always emphasized keeping pace with the times, you know? Who is still rare in clothes hundreds of years ago? Sun Wukong said impatiently.

"Oh my God!" Hans held his hands. "If I knew you were so trendy, I wouldn't have been talking to old John for so long. It's ...... to borrow all this outfit."

"Alright, less. What are you doing here?" asked Sun Wukong.

Hans looked at Wu Ge.

"Just say it. My apprentice has always been tight-lipped. ”

"Well, okay. Hans looked at Wu Ge suspiciously, but still spoke:

"It's not a big deal, but that's it...... Well, an outsider's business. ”

"Outsiders?" the four of Wu Ge's master and apprentice shouted in unison.

"Yes. Recently, there have been several incidents related to the Aliens. The Chief Archwizard has sent me to inform you of this, and ......"

"Why don't you say those outsiders can make people quiet?" Jigong complained.

Hans shrugged.

"As the old saying goes, a widow is guilty of her sins. The outsiders have just taken a fancy to our planet......"

"Piff. ”

"What?"

"The allusion is called 'Puppet Huaibi,' not a widow. Lu Dongbin said loudly.

"Oh...... Right. Piff. ”

"You still speak English, it's not that we don't understand. Sun Wukong said angrily. "Or you can go back and study at the Confucius Institute for a while. ”

"Uh, I want to too. Hans was embarrassed. "But I'm in charge of everything now, and I ...... in this regard."

"At your level, even if you are busy to death, you can't talk about 'managing everything'. Sun Wukong said unceremoniously. "Forget it, aren't you looking for Master Qingyun? We'll go now, I just want to talk to Master as well. ”

Sun Wukong and the other three dragged "Khan to death" and walked towards Master Qingyun's residence. Wu Ge stayed where he was, confused.

The matter of the World Cultivator Conference is annoying enough, and the matter of outsiders has popped up again...... Also, does this Hans, who is keen on Sinology and has a lot to do with those hostile cultivator organizations? Could his appearance at this time have something to do with the upcoming World Congress of Cultivators?

There are more and more mysteries...... I can't be quiet!

――――7788――――

When the interaction between the Eastern gods and the Western wizards began, it is already an unknowable matter. It is prudent to say that it is definitely before the time of Marco Polo, and it is imprudent to say that there were contacts between the two sides long before the invention of writing.

Whichever version is adopted, the relationship between the two sides can be said to have a long and long history. However, it is sad that such a long history of exchanges has not allowed the two sides to establish a friendly relationship of mutual respect and trust, and the two sides continue to quarrel because of some differences. And tracing back to the source, the gods need to bear greater responsibility for this matter:

At the beginning of the relationship, the wizards were very excited to meet a group of fellow cultivators. They proposed that the two sides should work together on the path of cultivation, and put forward some specific suggestions on the implementation plan, such as formulating standards for cultivating the truth, studying the method of cultivating the truth together, and unifying the terminology of practice. The wizards also suggested that the term "wizard" should be used together and that a rating system should be developed to make it easier for everyone to know how good they are and identify each other.

The immortals euphemistically pointed out that in China, only the folk dancing gods are called "witches." ”

"Then it's okay for everyone to use the title 'immortal'. So said the wizards.

Once again, the immortals "euphemistically" pointed out that doing so was an insult to the title "immortals".

No matter how low the intelligence of wizards is, they can still hear the contempt in these words.

As a result, the relationship between the two sides began to be unharmonious. Eastern immortals often contemptuously pointed out that the practice of shamans was crude and low-level, eager for quick success, and overly borrowed from external objects. The sorcerers attacked the theories of the immortals as profound, obscure, and contradictory; the immortals were proud of their advanced cultivation, while the sorcerers ridiculed the immortals as nothing more than a bottle of atmosphere; and the immortals boasted of their longevity and immortality after their second ascension. The wizards said, "Bah, what is the second ascension?"

Due to various contradictions arising from the "war to defend the earth" and other aspects, the relationship between the two sides once fell to a freezing point.

However, although the relationship between the Eastern gods and the Western wizards has been in a state of "discord" for a long time, everyone generally upholds the spirit of "modesty and prudence, guarding against arrogance and rashness", so the two sides have generally maintained a peaceful and friendly situation of "discord but peace in the face".

This spirit of peace and friendship was fully embodied in this meeting.

"Ah, what an extraordinary treat. Hans took a sip of the hot tea brewed by Master Qingyun and exclaimed sincerely.

"To be honest, I've always been very envious of your kind ......of life in the mountains and forests," he said.

"Secluded in the mountains. ”

Lu Dongbin corrected with a cold face.

"Uh, yes, it's a secluded forest. That...... What do you mean by the Howling Gathering Forest?"

"That's the bandits. ”

Lu Dongbin continued to preach and teach lukewarmly. He was already a little numb and too lazy to get angry at Hans.

“...... Right. ”

"Then, Mr. Hans," Master Qingyun interjected in time. "Honorable Chief Wizard just asked you to report on the return of the aliens to Earth?"

"Of course, that's not all. Hans put down his teacup and said, "In fact, His Excellency the Chief Wizard proposes that the two sides can unite to face a common enemy. We believe that in order to do this, we must abandon the front-line ......"

"Give up the front line, ......?" Lu Dongbin was confused. "Where do you think the front line is, and where are we going after we abandon the front line?"

"Well, I actually mean ...... We should let go of some of our previous grudges. ”

"Grievances...... do you mean 'giving up old grudges'?"

"Uh...... Yes, it's a discarded suspicion. ”

Hans scratched his head and said.

"I don't think there is anything that the two sides need to give. The master smiled confidently. "Haven't we always gotten along well?"

"Ah, of course...... Well, what the Chief Archwizard means is that he hopes everyone can achieve a higher level of unity. ”

"Higher?"

"Yes. I think the second battle for the defense of the earth in which we participated is enough to illustrate ......"

"It was the third battle to defend the earth. Sun Wukong said with a calm face.

Hans shrugged.

"Okay. Clause...... Well, I mean, the situation of the last battle to defend the earth is enough to show that the aliens are not very interested in the earth......"

"It's going to happen. Sun Wukong corrected impatiently.

"Ah...... Well. Their attacks on Earth will intensify. ”

“...... Stronger and stronger. Jigong said.

"Uh...... So, their next invasion will be on both sides, this ...... Gentleman's duel. ”

"A battle to the death!"

Sun Wukong, Lu Dongbin, and Jigong shouted in unison.

Hans was sweating so much that he almost literally became "sweat dead." ”

"Otherwise, you don't use idioms, allusions, or whatever. "The good old man Jigong is also a little annoyed. "It's not something you can do right now. ”

"But......" Hans scratched his head. "My teacher told me that idioms and allusions are the marrow of Sinology......"

"That's called the essence...... I think you'd better start with the skin, and the bone pulp is not so easy to gnaw without a good mouthful. ”

Master Qingyun did not participate in the quarrel. He looked at the uniquely shaped statue in the study, and for the first time lost a confident smile on his face.

"Yes...... The Third Battle for the Defense. ”

He whispered to himself.

"Right...... Last time. ”

Hans said.
