Chapter 73: "Violent Evil"
Late at night, School City Library.
In the quiet archive room, the sound of high-heeled shoes walking down the stairs was suddenly heard.
Zhuang Xiaomeng walked between the tall bookshelves, as if searching for something.
At this time, a voice came from behind her: "It's so late at night, come to the archives?"
"Hehe, aren't you too, Mr. Headmaster. ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng turned his head and said, "At the opening ceremony just now, an interesting thing happened. I guess you know, right?"
"You mean Mu Yun?"
Gong Shanyang said with a smile, "Of course, I always pay attention to an excellent student like him. ”
"Excellent?"
Zhuang Xiaomeng half-narrowed his eyes and looked at Gong Shanyang: "There are countless secrets hidden in the map of the Mountains and Rivers Society, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an inexhaustible treasure house.
"A map of sorcery, prophecy, and ruins...... Different ways of looking at it will reveal different things.
"For thousands of years, the map of mountains and rivers continues to inspire us to this day.
"And do you know what your excellent student Mu Yun saw in the map of the Mountains and Rivers Society?"
With that, she paused and glanced at the headmaster.
The latter, however, kept smiling and did not speak.
"Demon Appearances!"
Zhuang Xiaomeng said coldly, "He saw the legendary Ten Thousand Demon Diagrams! If I'm not mistaken, the first time this picture scroll was discovered, you saw it with that person back then, right?"
"Yes, you're not mistaken. Gong Shanyang nodded.
"But he saw it all at once!"
Zhuang Xiaomeng continued, "Think about it, how much effort did you spend back then to discover this mysterious picture...... This is a picture of 'violence'!"
Zhuang Xiaomeng's emotions became more and more excited.
"This is not something that a rookie half-demon can do at all!"
She raised her voice as an emphasis: "Behind this teenager, there must be an unfathomable secret!"
After hearing this, Gong Shanyang shrugged his shoulders: "Just seeing a painting doesn't mean anything." ”
"You know, young people today are more imaginative, and they can see a lot more than we old things," he said. ”
"Hmph, if that doesn't mean anything. ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng snorted coldly, "Then let me ask you, do you know what I saw in the demon mirror today?"
"Oh?" Gong Shanyang smiled slightly, "Didn't you say that it was a black unicorn?"
"Enough, stop acting, you know that there is no black unicorn at all!" Zhuang Xiaomeng raised his eyebrows.
She looked serious and said, "That's just me making it up to fool the others present." ”
However, the one in the mirror is indeed not the so-called blackening. ”
She continued: "That black shadow is attached to the Qilin, and that aura is yin and evil...... In my opinion, it could only be something from that world!"
The vice principal's eyes became extremely sharp.
She said sharply to Gong Shanyang: "Do you know that recruiting him into the school city is equivalent to putting a wolf into the sheepfold!"
"Hahaha, how could it be. Gong Shanyang laughed.
"On the contrary, you should describe him as a husky who has blended in with the wolves," he grinned. ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng didn't laugh along.
She looked into the other party's eyes solemnly: "It seems that you already knew all this, right?"
Hearing this, Gong Shanyang applauded gently.
"Amazing, she really deserves to be 'female Zhuge '. ”
He smiled and said, "Sure enough, I still can't hide anything, our dear vice principal!"
Zhuang Xiaomeng sneered and said, "Hmph, you're mocking me." It's impossible not to be unaware of the incomparable importance of intelligence on the ever-changing battlefield. If you don't give me enough information, no matter how clever I am, I won't be able to see the whole picture!"
After speaking, she glanced at Gong Shanyang.
However, the latter did not give any feedback other than a smile.
Zhuang Xiaomeng let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Yes, I asked you before, but I didn't expect you to refuse to tell me until now." ”
Then she added, "But, Mr. Headmaster, don't forget the great black prophecy that we have seen with our own eyes. ”
"Of course I haven't forgotten. ”
Gong Shanyang nodded, "The black scaly beast will bring destruction to the world...... And for many years, we thought that this prophecy was about the 'great serpent.'" ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng said: "That's right, so the moment you defeated that man, we all thought that the prophecy had burst like a bubble."
Today, however, this boy reminds me of that terrible prophecy again. Because, he made me feel exactly the same as when I met that man! No, ...... Even more dangerous than that man!"
Speaking of this, Zhuang Xiaomeng couldn't help but gasp.
Gong Shanyang looked at Zhuang Xiaomeng's eyes and said gently: "Do you know, in fact, the moment you mentioned the Great Prophecy, I thought of forests and wildfires in my mind. ”
"Huh?" Zhuang Xiaomeng frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
Gong Shanyang slowly explained: "There is a local proverb in Xishuangbanna, which is called 'If the fire does not burn the mountains, the mountains will not develop'.
"Because there are some tree seeds, which are usually wrapped in a thick layer of resin, they are only exposed when they are exposed to temperatures above 50°C. In other words, wildfires have become an essential medium for them to reproduce.
"Moreover, wildfires burn down some of the low shrubs and leaf litter, which provides fertilizer for the entire forest.
"As a result, forests that have experienced natural wildfires will grow better in the coming year.
"Just as wildfires and forests are mutually reinforcing, all things are reborn in destruction.
So on the bright side, could it be that our definition of destruction is too narrow?
"If we speak of destruction in a broad sense, is it possible that the prophesied destroyer of the world is also referring to the person who will bring about complete change in the world?"
Zhuang Xiaomeng was stunned.
This explanation really never occurred to her.
However, she smiled and said disdainfully: "Hmph, you are obviously showing naked favoritism. ”
"Don't say that, after all, no one can say for sure what is prophesied. ”
Gong Shanyang smiled and said, "In my opinion, whether it is Nostradamus or the Mayan prophecy, the prophecy itself is an ambiguous and extremely unreliable thing.
"So, don't let these ethereal things sway your judgment. As an educator, you have to believe that under our correct guidance, Muyun will definitely become a good student. ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Okay, then I'll ask you one last time, do you really want to recruit him?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, Mu Yun is as dangerous as an atomic bomb!"
Gong Shanyang said: "That's right, we recruited him into the school city precisely to lead him to the right path. On the other hand, if he is allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy, it may bring irreparable results. ”
"But there is no guarantee that he will not become our enemy in the future. Zhuang Xiaomeng sneered, "Don't forget, whether it's the Thousand-Faced Demon Monarch or the current helmsman of 'Shadow', they all graduated from us!"
This time it was Gong Shanyang's turn to be silent.
Obviously, this is a fact that no one can ignore.
The students he once led have become the most vicious people in the future, which is also something that every educator does not want to see.
“...... But we can't choke on food. ”
After a long time, Gong Shanyang said, "No matter what, it is our responsibility as educators and our obligation to lead young people to the right path. ”
When he said this, the old principal's tone was as firm as a rock.
