Chapter 423 Tang San and the Golden Tree; Zhang Lexuan and Beibei
besides.
Recently, a strange thing happened in the hospital: many students disappeared mysteriously in the hospital, and even Contra-level teachers suddenly disappeared inexplicably.
Even the Super Douluo-level soul masters from Poseidon Pavilion could not find any trace. It was as if these people had disappeared out of thin air.
However, the top management of Shrek College suppressed the matter very tightly, and only a very small number of teachers, students and top management knew about it. Although some rumors spread, it did not cause panic.
For the time being, Shrek Academy seems to be calm.
But... no one knows how long it can last.
Today's Shrek Academy has an undercurrent, and there is an inexplicable and strange atmosphere from top to bottom, giving people a feeling that a storm is about to come.
…
…
Three days.
Ma Xiaotao's condition changed again.
When she first returned to the college, Ma Xiaotao was very cautious about everything in Shrek College. She rarely left the dormitory except for necessary visits. She even did not dare to eat food in the cafeteria.
However, after a few days, her caution gradually eroded.
Thinking of walking on thin ice in the past two days, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart.
"strangeness……"
"What on earth was I afraid of the past few days?"
"Speaking of which, that guy told me a few days ago..."
【Can't say, can't think...】
A majestic voice emerged from the bottom of her heart, dispelling any confusion in Ma Xiaotao's heart, and at the same time stopped her from thinking about the content of the conversation that day.
After deciding to return to Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao was worried that she would be tricked again, so she and Su Luoheng took the initiative to plant inner hints to prevent Shrek's problems from leaking out from her.
And now Ma Xiaotao has been planted with a psychological hint by Mr. Yin.
So now, even if I am eroded by the power of that position again, when it comes to the content of the conversation that day, I instinctively feel that the content of the conversation with Su Luoheng cannot be revealed.
…
…
Poseidon Pavilion, library.
Although Shrek Academy was still quiet and everything seemed in order, Su Luoheng felt an uneasy atmosphere, which made him involuntarily speed up his search for clues.
Every day it's just two points and one line between the dormitory and the library.
Mr. Wang, on the other hand, has been watching silently in the dark, recording the types of books Su Luoheng took from the library, trying to find out his purpose of trying every possible means to enter this place.
At first, when I saw Su Luoheng looking for history books, I thought it was a smoke bomb set off by him, and I kept focusing on it. However, after a few days of observation, I found that the answer was not that.
I didn't even look at those precious martial arts training classics and secret techniques. I only looked at the historical books there. It seemed that the purpose of entering the library was for these, and the main focus was purity.
Although he didn't know the reason why he did this, Mr. Wang was relieved. He didn't care what Su Luoheng wanted to read, as long as it wasn't those unique secrets or important classics.
"Shuashua~"
Su Luoheng opened an ancient book again, and the pages made a slight sound, as if telling the history it had seen.
Time passed by minute by minute. The pages of the book kept turning. Su Luoheng's eyes quickly scanned the contents of page after page, maintaining a high concentration of attention to look for clues.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Su Luoheng's brows frowned slightly.
He paused for a moment, then picked up the book and looked at it carefully, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he had discovered something wrong. Then he started reading again, this time at a significantly slower pace.
"..."
After a while.
Su Luoheng finally raised his head, as if he had some realization.
In this book just now, he discovered a major problem.
this book
The content contained is the development history of Shrek Academy:
It records the struggle of how the academy has grown from a shabby academy located in a corner of Soto City to the number one soul master academy in the mainland since Flanders founded Shrek in Soto City.
During this development process, outside help was naturally indispensable. In this development history, many emperors who provided important help on the road of Shrek Academy becoming the first soul master academy are recorded.
But here's the problem:
General cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win, but the cooperation between Shrek and these emperors is not like this: the price paid by the empire is not proportional to the rewards obtained.
It can even be said that it is a unilateral contribution.
However, these emperors did not refuse to cooperate with Shrek Academy. Instead, they tried their best to promote more cooperation of this type and gave benefits to Shrek Academy in the name of cooperation.
Just like the current territory of Shrek City, it was originally a territory belonging to the Tiandou Empire (before the country was divided). But later, an emperor who had studied in Shrek personally donated this land to Shrek for free.
Gram College.
The euphemistic name is: Gratitude to the college and give back to the alma mater.
There are many, many more examples like this.
It is unimaginable that the king of a country would make such a decision.
During Su Luoheng's in-depth research, he discovered that these emperors who were almost mindlessly helping Shrek Academy and crazily giving away profits all had one thing in common: they all studied at Shrek Academy.
From the first recorded Emperor Tiandou to the present, this situation has lasted for nearly ten thousand years.
With constant support from major empires, Shrek rose rapidly and ushered in a golden period of growth and development.
Soon, Shrek Academy surpassed all major colleges in the empire and became the number one soul master academy in the mainland. It continues to this day. It is also widely popular among the people, and its reputation has already surpassed the three major empires.
.
In addition, other people who have come out of Shrek Academy will have great respect for Shrek Academy. Just like the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent thousands of years ago, Shrek can summon countless souls with a wave of his arms.
division.
The emperor's mindless profit concession.
The soul master’s mindless and blind obedience.
If these behaviors didn't mean anything before, but now that Shrek is found to be under an unknown force that can control his mind, then these actions become intriguing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So..."
"If this power had already appeared at that time, then something important must have happened within Shrek Academy around the time when the first free emperor appeared."
"..."
Su Luoheng murmured, his eyes flashing slightly.
I have been searching until now and finally made some progress.
Judging from this direction, the scope has narrowed again: I only need to find books about Shrek recorded before and after this time node.
Thinking of this, Su Luoheng's mind moved.
The next moment, the spiritual power once again spread to the entire library.
The more specific scope this time saved him a lot of time, and he found the books he needed in less than half an hour. After collecting these books, he started browsing again.
…
…
Time passes slowly.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
"call……"
Putting back the books he had read, Su Luoheng stood up and stretched.
Even if the scope is narrowed down, it is not easy to find clues.
After checking that it was not too late, he took down another ancient book that had been marked in advance from the bookshelf next door. The cover was covered with traces of time.
This is a book about the history of Shrek Academy. Su Luoheng slowly opened the pages of the book. Some of the handwriting records inside were a little blurry, but they could still be read clearly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Su Luoheng flipped through page after page.
The ancient book suddenly condensed its eyes, and the more it turned back, the more solemn the expression in the eyes became. Because this book records the secrets about the origin of Poseidon Island and the golden ancient tree!
And this is what Su Luoheng wants to know most:
There are different opinions about the origin of Poseidon Island and the Golden Ancient Tree, and one of the widely recognized theories is that after Tang San became a god, he used his divine power to move them from overseas and placed them in Shrek Academy.
The inner courtyard of Zhizhike.
Outsiders only know that Poseidon Island and the Golden Ancient Tree are both islands that Poseidon Tang San moved from the sea after he became a god. He placed them in Shrek and later became Shrek's inner courtyard.
But this generally accepted statement is actually only half correct.
This ancient book has a clear record of this matter: Poseidon Island was moved here by Poseidon Tang San, but the golden ancient tree did not exist on the island from the beginning.
Thousands of years ago, there were no ancient golden trees on Douluo Continent.
However, there is a Tree of Life on Poseidon Island.
And this golden ancient tree, which carries the soul power of countless Shrek sages and has special significance to Shrek, is actually the result of their ancestor Tang San, the God of the Sea, who separated part of his Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit and integrated it into the world of life.
In the body of the tree, it was finally created.
According to ancient books, the ancestors of Tang San used their supreme divine power to bring an island with the Tree of Life from overseas, and integrated part of their divine power and martial soul into the Tree of Life to create an ancient golden tree.
Come to Sanctuary Shrek Academy.
It seemed that Tang San would give back to Shrek Academy after becoming a god, but Su Luoheng, who was familiar with Tang San's character, was skeptical and felt that this old silver coin would never be so kind.
The people in Shrek didn't understand Tang San, and he didn't understand it either?
Regardless of the evaluation of the original work, it can be seen just from the luck of the Snow Emperor and the Emperor's auspicious beast that Tang Buddha was an extreme egoist and would use any means to achieve his goals.
He might protect Shrek.
However, the premise is that it does not infringe on your own interests.
And stripping off part of the martial spirit can already be regarded as damaging Tang San's own interests. With his character of being uninterested and unwilling to do anything early, how could he do such a thankless and loss-making business?
so--
The Golden Ancient Tree makes it very questionable about his motives.
Based on the level of trust he had in Tang San, Su Luoheng was 99.9% sure that he could never do it just to protect Shrek Academy.
There must be something wrong with the golden ancient tree. Even if it is not the source of the unknown power and the feeling of inner peace, it definitely contributes to the situation. After all, Tang San's character is there.
In terms of negative impact, it's hard not to think of him.
There is no way, Tang Buddha is so trustworthy.
But the top of the golden ancient tree has been transformed into various rooms. If you want to study the golden ancient tree, you can only go to the underground world of Poseidon Pavilion, which is the root of the golden tree.
But my time in the library is not over yet.
Therefore, Su Luoheng decided to read these classics first. Because although the golden ancient tree was highly suspicious, the matter was of great importance. Everything was possible before being 100% sure, and he could not be arbitrary.
…
…
at the same time.
Just when Su Luoheng's investigation made a breakthrough, after hearing the news that Tang Ya was about to be put on trial in public, some people within Shrek began to feel restless, such as: Beibei.
But how could he, an inner court disciple at the Soul King level, interfere with the decisions of the academy's top brass?
Shrek is a place that values strength. It would have been possible if Mr. Mu was still alive, but now he has no say.
So Beibei can only choose to save the country through a curve: find someone to help!
Looking at the entire Shrek Inner Court, the only person he could talk to, and who still had a certain status in the Poseidon Pavilion, was Zhang Lexuan, the eldest sister of the Inner Court and the heir to the Lord of the Poseidon Pavilion.
After making the decision, Beibei immediately
Make an appointment with Zhang Lexuan.
…
…
The shores of Poseidon Lake.
Zhang Lexuan, wearing a goose-yellow dress, stood tall and graceful.
She has long black hair that hangs down to her waist, and her fair and flawless face is lightly painted with pink and white. She has a quiet and gentle temperament in her eyes, which is unforgettable at first sight.
The wait won't be long.
Beibei came to the appointment in a hurry.
His complexion was very poor, his face was as pale as paper, and his red eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. There was an unbreakable sadness and clouds between his brows, and his face was even more full of worry and annoyance.
Obviously, during this period, I was worried a lot about Tang Ya's affairs.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan arriving, Beibei's eyes showed some hope.
"Beibei, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Lexuan's mouth showed a slight smile, gentle and touching. It was obvious that he took Beibei's initiative to meet him very seriously. For this reason, he even dressed up carefully.
It's a pity that falling flowers are intentional, and flowing water is ruthless...
At this moment, Beibei, who was thinking about Tang Ya, could not care about Zhang Lexuan's current dress. He approached urgently, holding Zhang Lexuan's arm tightly with both hands, and his voice was full of pleading and urgency.
"Sister, can you help me save Tang Ya?"
"I know Xiaoya. She must have been forced to become an evil soul master. Senior sister, please beg the elders and let Xiaoya go. She must have something to hide."
"..."
Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Lexuan's face suddenly froze.
I originally came to the appointment with full of joy, but when I heard Beibei's plea, I felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on my face, and I instantly became cold to the bone.
Looking at her nominal child adopter in front of her, Zhang Lexuan closed her beautiful eyes slightly, sighed, and then slowly opened them: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter..."
As she spoke, she withdrew her arm without leaving any trace.
