"Why me?" Gu Fengchen couldn't figure out how he could let those old antiques who should be lying under the grave in peace be so worried, and couldn't help but ask very depressedly.

"The best thing is probably that the old monster really wants to have a brilliant disciple," said Ellie, "but my lovely nephew calculated on the stargazing platform for a long time, and at the end of his head was full of smoke, and I could tell at a glance that his mind was running at a high load, and he finally sighed and said, 'Things can't be so simple.'"

"What else is possible?"

"Perhaps, the old monster is missing a toy, and they think you're very interesting. You may not know, but I have an obligation to tell you that the relationship between the old monsters in the Oriental Tower is not as high-minded as our school advertises, in essence, whoever has lived for so many years will be very, very boring, maybe they just want to find a toy These old monsters who have lived for many, many years are reasonable, no matter what they do. ”

Ellie said very seriously, she was indeed very serious about describing the situation that Gu Fengchen was going to face, and even she couldn't grasp the thoughts of those old monsters in the Eastern Tower. It is said that some old monsters have been calling for wind and rain before the formation of the Holy Spirit Continent, and they may have lived more than one era and seen the prosperity and decline of the world.

Who can grasp the idea of such an old monster?

"That's all I can help you, and I'll tell you that the creatures in the tower aren't harmless to humans and animals. A very strange phenomenon is that although the dean of the Oriental Wizards Academy is beautiful, at a certain time, they will disappear. It is said that they all took the Oriental Tower, and it is even rumored that they were killed by the old monsters in the Oriental Tower, or that they were the boys under the seats of these old monsters in the Oriental Tower, so I will not be surprised at all if those in the tower run out and bury the dean."

"This is different from the school calendar, which describes the predecessors in the Oriental Tower as being virtuous and benevolent," Gu Fengchen exclaimed sadly: "You can't falsify history like this!"

"Anyway, you'll be able to meet them soon, and you can verify that history is true," Ellie continued, "and if you make it out alive, don't forget to tell me what you think, even though I'm not interested in the study of history."

Gu Fengchen was speechless.

Although the weather is very good today, Gu Fengchen is in a very bad mood! Dongfang Tower pulled out a long shadow under the sun, and Gu Fengchen appeared under this shadow, he didn't say goodbye to anyone, just followed behind Ellie. He knew that he couldn't escape the control of those old monsters in the Oriental Tower, and since he couldn't escape, why pretended to be cowardly?

"There's a no-go area up ahead, and I can go in, but I don't think I need to go in and face the old monsters," Ellie said, "and I can only wish you good luck here." ”

"Thank you!" Gu Fengchen said thank you, but he didn't mean to thank him at all, it was just a habit.

The Oriental Tower is very majestic, and from the perspective of the ancient wind and dust standing, it is even higher than the main peak of the Tongtian Holy Mountain. In the sky, there are white clouds floating over, and it is only half up the tower, and the tower looks very, very spectacular and majestic, but Gu Fengchen has no intention of watching the spectacular and majestic scenery at all.

After all, those who go to the execution ground do not have the heart to appreciate the beauty of this world. Although Gu Fengchen sometimes naively thinks that if he dies, he will go back, but the experience of growing up tells him that this matter is very unreliable, there is only one life, and he must not joke about this life that can only be had once.

Normal people rarely investigate life and death, and Gu Fengchen is a normal person most of the time, so he is in a very bad mood.

"You're here. An old voice sounded in his ears, although this blunt and gentle, as gentle as an old grandfather talking to his children, but Gu Fengchen's hair stood upside down, and goosebumps covered his whole body at once.

In front of him, an abnormal human appeared, he walked in a very strange manner, as if he could not take a step, his knees seemed to have lost the ability to bend, he walked jumping and jumping, his face was bronze, the skin was covered with bones, there was not a little flesh in it, it was simply a skeleton with human skin.

Isn't this just a zombie?

However, this zombie actually has a breath, that kind of breath that seems to be nothing, telling Gu Fengchen that this is definitely not a zombie, definitely not the kind of dead corpse that has been retained by some secret method and can't think. I couldn't see his face clearly, his face was buried in chaos, and even the bright sunlight now could not drive away the eerie and terrifying aura emanating from his body.

`

"Nice to meet you"

The zombie-like creature smiled at Gu Fengchen, and he grinned, revealing a few white teeth. Gu Fengchen clearly saw the gums from his mouth, there was no flesh in his mouth, the skeleton in his mouth was clearly visible, in the middle of the skeleton, there was barely a shocking black tongue to look at carefully, this is not a tongue, but an unknown creature, perhaps, it is a snake!

That's right, in his mouth, there is a snake, and this snake is his tongue. The snake swung nimbly in his mouth, matching his pronunciation.

A strong desire to vomit came from Gu Fengchen's stomach.

"Don't be surprised, little one," said the strange man, "the flesh of my body is basically rotten, and I have lived for many, many years, and only in this way I have survived"

"Who are you?" Gu Fengchen's voice trembled, he had never been a very timid person, as for dead creatures such as zombies and skeleton warriors, he could ignore them directly, but in front of this strange man, he still couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.

"I am the true founder of this academy," said the stranger, "you need not be afraid, I am your protector!"

The protector of the Oriental Wizard Academy turned out to be like this? Gu Fengchen felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

"How are you the true founder of the Oriental Wizards Academy?" asked Gu Fengchen. He was very strange in his heart, he hadn't visited the History Museum of the Oriental Wizards Academy, the founders were all immortal bones, who was like him?

"I think if you have any questions about these, I'll answer them for you. The self-proclaimed founder said.

Gu Fengchen hadn't said his question yet, but this person actually answered it himself: "That year, I was still a young man, and that year, I just entered the society and was full of ideals. I have been cultivating in an ancient religion in the mountains for many years."

"I have a lot of thaumaturgy, and what I'm most proud of is that I have mastered the magic of the infrastructure system more than many, many others. Building magic towers, building castles, fortresses, that's what I do best. Gradually, my reputation spread all over the world, so that the reputation of "which is the strongest in infrastructure technology, the Holy Spirit Continent is flying in the east" spread to every corner of the time. Yes, I am Dongfang Xiang. ”

"Finally, one day, a chubby Taoist priest came to me, and he handed me a drawing. When I was asked to build a building according to the drawings, he was in tears and in a bad mental state, and I thought something sad must have happened to him. Sure enough, he said that his brother was dead and buried underground. He was pitiful, his memory was cut off, many things he couldn't remember clearly, he only remembered that his brother left him a drawing, telling him that it was a clue to find him. ”

Gu Fengchen looked at Dongfang Xiang in confusion, and Dongfang Xiang continued to tell the story.

"By the way, this person may know that he used to be called Cao Yusheng and once used the name Duan De to look at your eyes, as if he is very familiar with his story. By the way, it seems that the kid named Chendong has written a book and a biography for him. Okay, don't be crooked, my major, in fact, can't be crooked, you are crooked, what magnificent buildings, there is no way to build this person likes to rob tombs, it is the kind of 'touching gold school captain' described by Uncle Nanpai Shan, so he made a lot of money, he put all his property into it, and hoped that we could build this magnificent and huge building according to the drawings. ”

"I knew about this epoch-making building, so I didn't hesitate to take on this huge project, which lasted 100 years, and my team and I finally completed it. During this period, Duan De went all over the world to rob tombs in order to pay for our project, so that he could not take time to come and see this great project for a hundred years. ”

The zombie-like old monster paused and glanced at the Oriental Tower, his gaze as fiery as that of an amorous teenager looking at his beautiful wife.

"This project poured all the efforts of Duan De and me, and on the day the project was completed, Duan De came from thousands of miles to cut the ribbon for the project, and I never thought that this would be a tragedy."

"Presumably, Master Duan De is too excited, right? This kind of project should not make Master Duan De faint with excitement, after all, he has even robbed the ancient tombs and emperor's tombs in ancient times, so he should be well-informed" Gu Fengchen was a little puzzled and asked the old man.

The old man let out a long sigh, he was silent for a long time, and after a long time, the old man finally spoke.

"This is where his life ended, and it was here that he died and ended his life, which is our tragedy—a great tragedy. ”

Gu Fengchen didn't understand, how could it be a tragedy to build such a magnificent project?

The old man saw the question in Gu Fengchen's heart, sighed for a long time, and continued:

"This is really a tragedy, the blueprint was originally a well that could be connected to the underworld, and Duan De wanted to connect the underworld through this well to find out the whereabouts of his brother Huang, but I took down the blueprint and built it into a tower that connected the nine heavens."

"I've done a lot of evil, I've learned a lot, don't take down the drawings"

The old man wailed with tears in his eyes.

"Duan De's friend, the emperor named Ye Fan was furious, and asked us to stay here, waiting for Duan De to return, and at the same time suppressing the east of the continent Out of guilt, we have not left here. However, since we also have to eat and wear, there is no way, so we can only take apprentices here for a living, and later, this became the Oriental Wizards Academy. I am Dongfang Xiang, the true founder of the academy. In the Museum of Courtyard History, that's a picture of me when I was young."

Gu Fengchen was dumbfounded and stammered, it turns out that this is the Oriental Tower, the real history of the Oriental Wizards Academy?

"Don't take the drawings down," the old man was still blaming himself, feeling guilty, and muttering.
