After meeting Hanshanke, it was really difficult for Lu Jing to connect him with what happened tonight.
In addition, according to the old zombie, no one in Jinghu Valley except Dongmen Weilan can leave the academy, so the possibility of Hanshanke causing trouble is even smaller, so Lu Jing I also felt a lot more at ease.
After that, Gu Jing also flew back, but what surprised Lu Jing was that it flew back from outside the academy and brought back a reply from the Huang Supervisory Academy.
The content of the letter is very simple, only seven words - I understand, I will talk about it later.
Lu Jing took the letter and read it over and over twice. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he didn't see anything else on it.
The same thing happened in Wujiang City before. It involved strange objects and a mysterious Mr. Ji. Lu Jing originally thought that Si Tianjian would at least pay considerable attention to it even if he was facing a formidable enemy. However, almost two years passed. It's been months and he hasn't even seen anyone come to ask questions.
Later, Lu Jing found out from Professor Cui that Shaojian Guo had left the capital for quite some time. But this time, Huang Jianyuan didn't know where he went. Lu Jing couldn't help but wonder what they were all busy with.
But having said that, Lu Jing still wrote down what happened tonight in detail as agreed and sent it to Si Tianjian.
After he finished all this, he practiced sword control for a while to use up all his secret power for the day, and then went to bed to rest.
On the other side, on the top floor of the Star Observation Building, Huang Jianyuan was looking at the brightly lit Lintian Mansion below him in trance.
Professor Zheng on the side looked a little worried.
He had already fallen asleep, but he was dragged out of bed by Huang Jianyuan, and then he was dragged all the way to the Star Observation Tower in a daze.
Along the way, Professor Zheng asked Huang Supervisor several times what happened, but the latter did not answer.
So Professor Zheng could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.
It was only now that the two of them went upstairs to Huang Prison and sighed again, "What a prosperous scene."
Professor Zheng thought he was lamenting about the coming chaos, so he comforted him, "The general trend of the world has always been like this. There is no dynasty that has been passed down through the ages, and there is no empire that can always be strong. Everything is just the change of heaven. If the old wall is not pushed down, a new, stronger wall cannot be erected.”
"Your tone does sound a bit like him."
Professor Zheng knew who the "he" in the Huang Supervisory Academy was referring to, but Professor Zheng still shook his head and said, "I am not Guo Shaojian. I don't see as far as he does. In fact, if I were to choose, I still hope that this peaceful scene can As long as possible, even if life is a little harder for ordinary people, they will still be able to survive."
"Yes." Huang Jianyuan nodded, "Everyone thinks that life is difficult now, but who knows what will happen in the future."
Professor Zheng didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy when he heard this.
He has worked with Huang Jianyuan for a long time. In his eyes, the latter has always been an upright, rigid and stern person. He always wears his Chinese character face on weekdays. Even if he encounters something, he rarely does it. Showing too much emotion.
However, tonight, he actually became sentimental.
Professor Zheng thought for a while and asked cautiously, "Is it because of the letter just now?"
"That letter just now? Oh, that letter was sent by Lu Jing, saying that a strange object appeared in the palace tonight, and a monk seemed to have used the escape method of my academy."
Professor Zheng was shocked, "Another strange object appears? There are other people who know the academy's magic. This... shouldn't we hurry over?"
"That rare object has been destroyed, and the monk has escaped. There is no use for it now." Huang Jianyuan said absently.
The worry on Professor Zheng's face became even more intense, "This is the first strange thing. Those people use living people to forcibly imitate strange things. They are so crazy and dehumanizing...Does Young Supervisor Guo know about this? What has he been up to recently? What are you busy with, why don't you let Si Tianjian investigate it properly?"
"Shaojian Guo has been busy with something very important recently," said Huang Supervisor. "He really can't spare his time."
Professor Zheng was puzzled, "Is there anything more important than rare objects?"
"Yes, he is working with others to explore the secret realm." As Huang Supervisor said, he finally looked away from the light at his feet, walked to the table, reached out and grabbed the teapot on it, and poured two Bowl of tea.
Professor Zheng took the tea and thanked him, but he was not in the mood to drink it. He quickly put it aside and then asked, "Secret Realm? Guo Shaojian went to the Secret Realm. When was it? Why didn't I know."
"Not many people know about this." Huang Jianyuan picked up another bowl of tea, blew on it twice, then took a small sip, and then said to Professor Zheng, "You should try it too, because it's too late." After tonight, I’m afraid I won’t be in the mood to have leisurely tea.”
Professor Zheng didn't believe it. "Old Huang, please stop trying to hide from me. What happened? Why did you bring me here so late at night?"
"The secret power is going to be exhausted."
A voice said, and with that voice Guo Shouhuai's figure also appeared outside the door.
His voice was obviously very soft, but it was like a thunder in Professor Zheng's ears.
"What?!!!"
"The secret power is about to be exhausted." Guo Shouhuai repeated it again. He looked dusty. It seemed that he had traveled a lot these days and experienced many battles. Notwithstanding the wounds on his cheeks and neck, he actually Even the left arm became empty, leaving only half of the cuff.
However, his expression still looked very calm, even if what he said now was enough to scare any practitioner to death, "The first place I went to was the secret place deep in the East China Sea, but I found that it was gone, and then I went there again. I entered a small secret realm and found that the secret power there was also decreasing.
"Then I gathered people and went deep into two large secret realms and a medium-sized secret realm... During this journey, we lost some companions, plus my left hand, but it was all worth it, because Now we can come to the conclusion that the secret power in the secret realm is drying up.
"Not one, not two, but all the secret realms, they are drying up."
Professor Zheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He was stunned for a while, unable to speak a word. It was not until a long time later that he managed to squeeze out a few words through his teeth, "This... how is this possible?"
"Good question. You are the one who knows the secret power best among us. If you can't answer it, I don't know who else in the world can give me an answer." Guo Shouhuai said lightly.
