The old man looked at Shen Yu with his unusually bright eyes. He was silent for a long time, then frowned and said, "Why are you asking these questions?"
Shen Yu said calmly: "I want to know more."
The old man shook his head and said, "I don't care about your business."
Shen Yu looked at the old man quietly and knew that this old man was one of the three masters in the academy. He was also the uncle Wen who Su Mo often missed.
Just hearing these words, Shen Yu had no intention of giving up, and said calmly: "Three thousand years ago, countless great cultivators at the peak disappeared mysteriously, and even the aura of the world fell back by half. Even in that short one hundred years, all traces were wiped out. Just erase it, didn’t the Academy try to understand it?”
The old man asked again: "Did Master Daoyan call you to ask?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "It's me."
When the old man heard this, he no longer hesitated, shook his head and said, "These matters have nothing to do with you juniors. The academy will naturally tell you when you are qualified."
"I heard from Senior Brother that you have been studying the Lost Era in recent years."
Shen Yu was silent for a while, looked at the books, and asked, "Are these records from thousands of years ago?"
The old man glanced at Shen Yu, thought for a while and said, "If you really want to see it, you can go in and check it out yourself."
Shen Yu bent down slightly and said, "Thank you very much."
...
When Shen Yu walked into the cave, he discovered that there was a different cave here. Deep inside, there were more than a dozen open spaces with bookshelves similar to those outside. Old books with a sense of age were quietly placed there, and some There are only two or three pages left, and the handwriting is blurred.
The old man said: "Don't think about it, all the books here are. If you really want to find out, just read them one by one slowly."
Shen Yu smiled and said: "Thank you, senior. I won't bother you for a while in the next few days."
The old man waved his hand and said: "There are no seniors in the Confucian sect. My name is Wen Ruohai. If you don't mind, just call me sir."
Shen Yu nodded slightly, then picked up an ancient book beside him and stood there and started reading.
After just reading two or three pages, Shen Yu realized how complicated the content here was. All information about three thousand years ago, no matter what kind, was collected here. Even some moves and major first-class sects three thousand years ago were collected here. No information about the door has been omitted.
It is conceivable that only the academy can have such great means.
The old man looked at Shen Yu's entranced look and did not disturb him. He just left the cave silently.
In the next few days, Shen Yu seemed to be obsessed with it. He seemed to have nothing to do except reading books all day long. Except for the occasional rest when he was tired, more and more books piled up in his hand, like a small mountain.
The old man was reading with Shen Yu one day. He was a little tired in the evening. He turned around and saw Shen Yu still looking calm and serious, and asked, "Can you see what's going on?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "Except for introducing some gossip about people and forces, I didn't find anything."
The old man said: "I have watched it for so many years and I know that if you want to uncover something, you have to be good at connecting the clues one by one. Even if the final answer is wrong, at least this way you have a chance."
Shen Yu put down the book and assumed a posture of listening attentively.
The old man said seriously: "Like beads scattered on the ground, our thinking is like a line. Use this line to piece together the beads to get a complete story. This story may be wrong, but there are also A possible way to find the truth.”
Shen Yu said: "It makes sense. I wonder what Mr. Wen has discovered using this method."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled, looking a little proud, and said, "For example, you know the Giant Whale Gate."
Shen Yu nodded and said calmly: "The first-class sect that briefly emerged in Beihai three thousand years ago, the sect leader Zhu Jing was a great practitioner of the fairyland."
"good."
The old man nodded and continued: "In recent years, I have devoted myself to research, and the results have never been
A secret was found out from the biographical news of the same name, that is, the Giant Whale Sect was exterminated for no reason. On the surface, it was because of vendetta, but in fact, it was because of offending a certain young man at the beach, and that young man happened to be the leader of a certain holy land. successor! "
The old man smiled slightly, obviously very proud of his discovery.
Shen Yu understood the old man's feeling, and found out a truth buried by time in every seemingly inadvertent news. For scholars, that feeling was a very proud sense of pride and satisfaction.
Shen Yu saw the old man's childlike smile, and after thinking about it, he still had no intention of telling some facts.
He knew exactly this.
Because the young man the Giant Whale Sect offended at the beginning was Zhang Xujing, the founder of Dao Sect three thousand years ago, and...his direct disciple.
As for the reason for the destruction of the Giant Whale Sect, it is even more ridiculous, because when some cliché grievances were brewing, the leader of the Giant Whale Sect happened to know that Zhang Xujing was his disciple, and without saying a word, he was so frightened that he gave away the sect's treasure. At that time Shen Yu naturally ignored him, but who would have thought that Zhu Jing thought that a disaster was coming, and then simply faked a disaster and disbanded the entire sect...
As a result, this matter naturally spread from one person to another, and some people who thought they knew the inside story passed it down.
Shen Yu only found out about this incident after hearing Zhang Xujing talk about it as a funny thing. Now that he suddenly thought about it, he felt a little emotional.
There would have been more, not less, things like this in that era three thousand years ago. Countless truths are buried in the long river of history. Even if you occasionally think you know the truth, the actual appearance often makes you wonder. You are caught off guard.
Shen Yu shook his head, suddenly feeling that these were boring things, and then turned his attention to the book.
What’s the solution to all the worries? Only reading.
Shen Yu looked at the big characters posted next to the cave entrance, smiled, and calmed down in the sea of books again.
...
At first glance, it is January, and January is thirty days.
Shen Yu has been at the entrance of the cave for thirty days without leaving.
An old man came to the entrance of the cave. Meng Gui stood at the entrance of the cave, looked at the man with a haggard face, and remained silent.
Mr. Wen Ruohai was basking in the sun outside the cave entrance and said lazily: "Why are you free to come here today? You are such a rare visitor."
Meng Gui snorted coldly and said, "If he wants to ask about that crap thing you studied, just tell him directly. Why are you still whining about it? Where has the intellectual capacity gone?"
Wen Ruohai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hey, you don't even care about your own students. When did you care so much about a junior of the Dao Sect?"
Meng Gui said, "It's none of your business."
Wen Ruohai was naturally very casual about this old friend whom he had known for many years, and shook his head with a smile.
There was silence for a while.
Meng Gui frowned and said, "You're such a bad scholar, you really don't want to talk about it? Come on, come on, tell me, what did you find out by studying those nonsense things from three thousand years ago?"
Wen Ruohai sighed, shook his head and said, "For him now, these things are still things he doesn't need to know. Besides, do you really think it's because I'm reluctant to tell you what I know?"
Meng Gui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Who else forced you?"
"It's the dean." Wen Ruohai's face was calm, and he isolated the surrounding atmosphere and said softly: "The dean actually studied the matter three thousand years ago many years ago, and only told me about it a few years ago. And I have always ordered that no information be spread outside the world.”
Meng Gui raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Wen Ruohai said calmly: "With your temperament, can you stay here for half a month? Are you sure you can keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone?"
Meng Gui rolled his eyes, obviously not wanting to speak. After a moment, he frowned and said, "It's strange why even the dean cares so much about this matter. From what I know about him, it must be more than just curiosity."
Wen Ruohai simply said calmly: "I don't know."
He could suddenly glare and say: "Are you
Are you hiding something from me on purpose? "
Wen Ruohai suddenly rolled his eyes and cursed, "Get out of here."
Meng Gui withdrew his gaze angrily, turned his head and looked into the cave, and asked, "What should I do about this?"
Wen Ruohai said calmly: "I also knew some fragmentary answers from these books, but they were still ambiguous. If you have real skills, you can naturally figure them out yourself."
