Chapter 3: The Fantasy of the Library
Zilong pushed open the door.
Seeing this, Zilong probably guessed what had just happened, and he didn't see anything unusual on his face, but there was obvious disgust in his eyes. He knew the relationship between the two, and he was not surprised by the presence of Lauboli, but a feeling of disgust and absurdity always lingered. Watching Tong Xinglian trying to maintain a serious appearance, Zilong suddenly felt the urge to vomit.
"Is there anything wrong with the classmates?" Tong Xinglian made a gentle expression, compared to the gentle smiling face of Dean Mingxin, his expression would only be disgusting.
Zilong suppressed the discomfort that came up from his stomach, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I came today to ask the director for a favor." ”
"What's the matter?" Tong Xinglian frowned slightly, obviously reluctant to help. Accepting bribes is another source of funds for Tong Xinglian, although Zilong disturbed his good deeds, in fact, he was ready to knock a lot of money, and superficial reluctance was a tactic he used to.
"I'm going to go up the fifth floor of the library to look up some materials. Zilong's affirmative tone was telling the other party that his request could not be refused. If Tong Xinglian was just a homosexual, it would be okay, although he looked uncomfortable, he would not have too much disgust, but the hypocritical look on his face was the most disgusting, making him unwilling to stay with Tong Xinglian for a minute longer. Zilong intends to fight and make the other party obey with a tough attitude.
Tong Xinglian's face changed instantly when he heard this, and his tone suddenly became stern: "Haven't you read the school rules? The students on the fifth floor of the library are not allowed to look at it. "There is room for mitigation in other things, but the materials above the fifth floor of the library are strictly controlled even if he, the dean, wants to access them.
Zilong had already expected this situation, if the fifth floor or above could be watched at will, there would be no need to add layers of prohibitions, where would he have the interest to come to Tong Xinglian. However, he has a trump card in his hand, and he is not afraid that Tong Xinglian will not help.
Thinking of this, Zilong shrugged casually, as if casually said: "Was the director's date with Lauboli last night still pleasant, I didn't expect the director to have 'that' hobby." ”
Zilong's words were like a thunderbolt on the top of Tong Xinglian's head, his slightly chubby body instantly became stiff, a drop of cold sweat slipped down his face, he stared straight at the pair of sunglasses on the bridge of Zilong's nose, his eyes flashed with horror, anger, ruthlessness and other emotions, and the murderous aura flashed from his body.
Seeing Zilong standing there motionless and showing extraordinary heaviness, Tong Xinglian struggled in his heart for a while, and deliberately made a calm appearance and said: "I don't know what you say again, if the classmate is fine, go out, what you asked just now is impossible." ”
"Oh, doesn't the director really care about the 'love affair' with Mr. Labor?" Tong Xinglian's denial was just a dying grasshopper in Zilong's eyes, and no matter how he jumped, he couldn't escape the palm of his hand. According to his observation, except for Tong Xinglian and Lao Boli, he did not see anyone else with similar hobbies, which shows that the customs of this world are still relatively exclusive to Longyang's goodness. What's more, Tong Xinglian is still a teaching director, if the parents of the students know that there is such a person teaching their children, the consequences can be imagined.
Tong Xinglian finally knew that the student in front of him couldn't be beaten easily, he took a deep breath as if he had been appointed, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, I'll take you there, but you must ensure that the matter will not get out." ”
"Thank you, Director. The corners of Zilong's mouth twitched slightly, and he accepted it when he saw it, and thanked him politely.
The library of Gada College is one of the iconic buildings of Gada College, it has 10 floors, covers a large area, and the earth and stone architecture is extremely strong, and the unique triangular shape makes it very recognizable. The hall of the library is more than ten meters high, clean and abnormal, the smooth stone floor can almost reflect the face of a person, on one side of the hall is a platform more than one meter high, two delicate girls stand behind the platform, obviously, they are the management of the library.
According to the rules established by the library, people who enter the library must register, Zilong and Tong Xinglian came to the counter. The two girls took out a box-shaped thing and let the two of them inject spiritual power into it, this is the registration method in the library, use special items to record a person's spiritual imprint, and with spiritual power, you can easily find the person's location, after all, spiritual power is innate, and a person can never change it. As long as you are infused with mental power, you can walk freely between the various floors, but this is only the method used by the five floors below, and the five floors above are completely different.
The five floors and above must have a certain authority, and there must be a special key to enter there, the high-level figures of the academy all have something similar to holding a nameplate, which seals the spiritual power of the master, as long as it is placed in a magic circle that stores the permission record, the spiritual power in the nameplate is aroused and sent into the magic circle, as long as the spiritual power and the record match, you can directly teleport people to the sixth layer.
Under the administrator's puzzled gaze, Tong Xinglian directly led Zilong to a room behind them, there were no furnishings in the room, only a thing like an altar was placed, and a white aura was floating in the air on the altar, this was the magic circle. Tong Xinglian took out a square brand and put it on the aura, and the spiritual power of the seal in the brand flowed into the aura.
In an instant, the brilliance in the magic circle skyrocketed, and the aura became larger and larger, enveloping Zilong and Tong Xinglian, Zilong only felt a huge attraction coming, his body seemed to float, and different scenes flashed in front of him in an instant. In the blink of an eye, his feet were already on the ground.
The sixth floor of the library was strangely silent, and Zilongjiang's divine sense expanded, and he was surprised that the area of the library was too large, and the amount of books in it was also obvious. Of course, Zilong couldn't look for it layer by layer, so he turned his head and asked, "Where are the books about Shenlong on which level?" ”
"On the seventh floor. Although he was a little suspicious of Zilong's purpose, Tong Xinglian knew that he had a handle in the other party's hands, so he had to give in, and he didn't dare to ask the reason. If the people of the academy knew his secret, not only would the position of the dean of education be unsafeguarded, but the fact that he was a good man would also make him lose face. Thinking of the result of the exposure of the matter, Tong Xinglian complained about his carelessness in his heart, and at the same time surged a strong hatred for Zilong, he had already moved to kill in his heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"How can the ban be opened here?" Zilong asked again. He once sent the Shadow Rat to investigate the affairs of the library, and with the strength of the Shadow Mouse, he could not open the library's prohibition, which showed the power of this prohibition.
Tong Xinglian was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Zilong to even know that there was a ban here, and it took a long time to react and take Zilong to the staircase leading to the seventh floor.
If you only look at it from the outside, there will be no ban on such an ordinary place at all, Zilong stepped forward and released his divine sense, and the long divine consciousness spread forward like a water wave, and the divine consciousness released suddenly encountered a huge obstacle and was bounced back in an instant.
It seems that the prohibition of the academy is really extraordinary, and his divine consciousness that has just approached the holy level has been easily bounced back. Zilong looked at Tong Xinglian and pursed his lips, his expression self-explanatory.
Tong Xinglian sighed helplessly, stepped forward and took out a black brand from his arms, the power of Yuan Zhen flowed to the brand, and was suddenly aroused by a substantial spiritual power to shoot on the prohibition, and in an instant, a silver-white light curtain appeared in front of him, and then turned into countless points of light and spread around, Zilong's divine sense clearly felt that the power that hindered him suddenly disappeared.
But then, the scattered points of light began to gather again, and the strange forces that gradually collapsed began to regroup, Tong Xinglian pulled Zilong and walked towards the seventh floor, and a silver light curtain flickered and disappeared behind him. After Tong Xinglian's explanation, Zilong knew that the brand he used could only make the library's defense ineffective for a short time, and a new defense would be formed soon after, and it was absolutely impossible to destroy the defense without the strength above the saint level, but the attack on the defensive cover would inevitably alarm the library's defenders, and the defense between the layers increased with the rise of each layer, compared with the defense on the tenth layer, the defense of the seventh layer was only a small thing.
Zilong guessed that there must be something important sealed on it, and it was very likely that it was the clue he was looking forward to, and he was suddenly even more excited. But thinking of the procedures for entering the fifth floor or more is extremely troublesome, he asked Tong Xinglian to hand over the brand and the method of use to him, after all, he can't let Tong Xinglian accompany him every time he comes to the library, so it is necessary to master the method of removing the defense.
The psychology of a good manly person is inevitably distorted and fragile, so Zilong seized Tong Xinglian's weakness, and finally came up with a detailed spell after some suppression. With the spell, Tong Xinglian was naturally useless, and he didn't want Tong Xinglian to know too many things about him, so he drove Tong Xinglian away after promising that he would never leak the secret.
Compared to the tediousness of entering the seventh floor, the method of leaving the library was extremely simple, Tong Xinglian retreated to the barrier at the staircase, and disappeared as soon as he stood firm. Zilong stepped on the seventh floor and walked through a wide corridor, the corridor was lined with transparent glass walls that divided the seventh floor into many reading rooms, and you could see many bookshelves placed in the walls, but when you looked closely at the specific things, everything you saw was vague.
Zilong stopped in front of a glass door embossed in the shape of a dragon, and he decided that there should be something he wanted to know inside. According to the method told by Tong Xinglian, Zilong covered his hands on the glass door and hit the glass wall with spiritual power, and suddenly a huge resistance was generated on the glass wall, and a strong electric current poured into Zilong's body along the spiritual power, and all the tissues in his body were paralyzed, and the cells were destroyed. The pain in my brain felt like it had exploded. I wanted to withdraw my spiritual power, but there was a powerful attraction inside the glass door, and my spiritual power seemed to be adhered to it.
Tong Xinglian was framing himself, this idea flashed in Zilong's mind, but he didn't have time to think about it, he used the shadow killing technique, Zilong gathered a powerful Yuan Ling and slammed it on the glass door, and a crack appeared on the glass wall, seeing this scene, Zilong was a palm again, and the glass wall shattered after a "snap", and in an instant, Zilong's spiritual power was detached from above, and the severe pain disappeared, and with a leap, Zilong entered the door.
The fragments of the glass door were gradually accumulating, and soon a new glass door was almost assembled. Seeing this scene, Zilong was surprised that the glass wall was not opened with spiritual power at all, maybe there was some special method like that prohibition, but he didn't expect him to be calculated by Tong Xinglian, presumably Tong Xinglian wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of himself as a threat, it seems that he will have to be careful in the future.
Different from Zilong's imagination, the seven-story library is like an ordinary library, the layout is very simple, rows of neatly arranged wooden bookshelves, and old books are displayed on the shelves.
Walking to the bookshelf closest to him, he flipped up an ancient book, who knew that the moment his finger touched the page, a flame suddenly burst out on the page, and the scorching temperature made Zi Longxun withdraw his finger.
The flames turned the books into ashes in an instant, and at this moment, there was a huge change in the library, the space around it began to distort, the air trembled like a wave, the temperature around it gradually rose, and sweat overflowed from Zilong's forehead.
Suddenly, "poof, puff ......", after a continuous sound, all the books were covered in flames and disappeared in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the flames quickly joined together to form a sea of fire, and the flames kept beating, burning everything in sight, and with the dancing of the flames, countless sparks flew towards the dragon.
It's psychedelics, Zilong suddenly realized that he was caught in the psychedelic tricks arranged by others in advance, is it the academy or Tong Xinglian? Tong Xinglian can't have such a fast degree, and there is no event arranged in advance, so this psychedelic trick must be arranged by the academy, and the purpose is probably to prevent someone from entering the library, but Tong Xinglian didn't remind himself for selfishness. Are all five floors and above set up illusions?
The blazing temperature made Zilongton feel difficult to breathe, and the entire space seemed to be burning, and all around were blinding red, erecting a spiritual shield, and all sparks were blocked out of the shield. But things are far from so simple, all the flames gathered together in an instant, turned into a fist-sized fireball and smashed on the mental shield, the shield suddenly trembled, but still desperately resisted the attack of the fireball.
At this time, the fireball suddenly stopped attacking, followed by several fire dragons attacking Zilong from all directions with their mouths open, and those flames also surrounded Zilong. The fire dragon's entire body was covered with the spiritual shield, the huge pressure and high temperature made the spiritual shield crumbling, the hot breath seeped into the shield, Zilong's body seemed to have just been fished out of the pool, and the spiritual shield was slowly drying up.
The real burning sensation and unbearable heat made Zilong miserable, he didn't expect that the academy actually used illusions to protect the library, and it was such a high illusion. You must know that the illusion is a stronger spell than psychedelics, if psychedelic magic can pass safely as long as you have calm and courage, then the illusion also needs strong strength, because everything in the illusion is almost equal to the real, and the damage caused to the spirit is real, and only by crushing it with strong force can you get out safely.
Seeing the mental shield crumbling little by little, Zilong knew that he couldn't sit still.
The primordial spirit surged wildly, spreading from every pore of the body to all sides, forming a protective shield on the periphery of Zilong's body, and the primordial spirit in Zilong's body was a new power formed by the fusion of the essences in it, which contained the purest fire essence, and also had the water essence that restrained the fire essence. As soon as the protective shield appeared, the fire dragon immediately retreated, constantly wandering outside the protective shield.
Seeing that the protective shield that fused the two kinds of primordial spirits of water and fire had an effect on the attack on the flames, Zilong quickly used the Shadow Killing Technique, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and transforming it into the primordial spirit, making the primordial spirit endlessly begin to spread around, and the powerful power was like a huge mountain pressing on the top, frantically surging towards the raging fire essence. The beating flames suddenly panicked and fled to all corners, but Zilong didn't let them go at all, and Yuan Ling chased after the flames under his drive.
All the fire essences were wiped out under the attack of Zilong's primordial spirit, and the spreading sea of fire disappeared in an instant, and the room suddenly returned to its original state, and the burned book was placed there unharmed. Zilong moved his body, and now he was exactly the same as when he first came in, without even a drop of sweat on his body, and everything he had just born seemed to be just a dream.
"Ding", a crisp sound came, like something falling to the ground.
Zilong looked down, a fiery red spar was lying quietly at his feet, picked up the spar, and now it was an angular crystal, the fiery red translucent crystal released a faint red glow that looked very dazzling. Zilong guessed the purpose of this thing, looking at the fiery red eyes, thinking of the illusion just now, he couldn't help but think that this was probably the core of the illusion.
He couldn't find any information about the crystal in his memory, so Zilong had to wait to go back and ask Zi Lingfeng for advice, maybe he would know something. Putting the crystal into the ring, Zilong couldn't wait to flip through the books, and the various levels arranged in the library made him believe that there must be some important books placed in it.
I don't know how long time has passed, Zilong has already flipped through a small part of these books, but all he has gained is an understanding of this world, and as his understanding gradually deepens, he also has deeper doubts about Zilong. Putting together everything he saw, he finally pieced together a complete piece of history.
10,000 years ago, Lixi Da 6 was in a very chaotic state, the power of various places expanded rapidly, new forces emerged one after another, wars never stopped in this land, everywhere was mourning, frequent wars made this place full of devastation.
Until one day, a person who claimed to be a god appeared, and the strength he showed made everyone in Lixi Da 6 fearful, and the power to destroy a city with a raised hand was extremely terrifying. The forces of all parties stopped killing each other and united to fight against it, but the power of the god was stronger than the world, and even a few of his subordinates could not compete with the people of Lixi Da6.
Under the blows of the "gods" and their subordinates, the combined troops were exhausted in a matter of days, and the scraps of flesh and blood were scattered on the battlefield, and it was almost impossible to find a complete corpse.
The cruel methods shocked the entire Lixi Big 6, and unprecedented fear enveloped the entire Big 6, and people's hearts were panicked, like the end of the world. The figure of the "god" floated in the air, and the evil smile was deeply engraved in the hearts of the Lixi people, and they had to surrender.
But their submission did not bring them a stable life, and the harsh punishment caused the whole of Lixi to fall into the pond of death. The "gods" used them as experiments, and the able-bodied people were pulled to do the experiments, in which no one survived. The life of the Lixi people is miserable, anger burns more and more in their hearts, and the will to live will one day overcome the fear of death.
Just when the people of Lixi were ready to resist at any time, a man with fifty-two people stepped on the seven dragons to drive away the 'god', it was an unrecorded battle, no one knows what happened at that time, only a description of the battle scene at that time - "the sky fell apart, the dragon soared into the clouds", and after that earth-shattering duel, the man also disappeared.
Seeing this, Zilong immediately associated him with Qi Xiang's words, didn't Qi Xiang just mention it in the memory he left?
"Wait for me, no matter where you are reincarnated, one day I will step on the seven-colored divine dragon to marry you. My favorite, even if I go through thousands of lifetimes of reincarnation, will not break this vow. ”
Thinking back to the words engraved in the depths of Qi Xiang's memory, Zilong couldn't help but wonder if Qi Xiang had anything to do with the man who drove away the "god"? But what did he have to do with that man? His body was entrenched in the six-colored divine dragon, and only a blue dragon was missing, obviously, there seemed to be a mystery in it that was difficult to solve.
What did the mysterious woman want to remind him of? What was his identity? More and more questions emerged, Zilong felt that all the answers seemed to be in the truth six thousand years ago, remembering the scene he saw in the land of the emperor's death, Zilong faintly felt that there seemed to be some secret connection between Xiangyun and Li Xisheng.
"Who am I?" Zilong gradually felt lost as he searched for the answer, and now it was all like an invisible net enveloping him, seemingly getting closer and closer to the truth, but in fact there were more and more unsolved mysteries.
"Huh, how can the barrier here be loosened, could it be that when I leave for a while, someone else will come in. A puzzled voice rang out outside the library door.
