Chapter 197: Clues

The old man's unusually bright eyes looked at Shen Yu and he was silent for a long time, then frowned and said, "What are you asking these for?"

Shen Yu said calmly, "I want to know."

The old man shook his head and said, "Nothing about you."

Shen Yu looked at the old man quietly, and knew that this old man was one of the three masters of the academy, and he was also Uncle Wen who Su Mo often thought about.

Just hearing this, Shen Yu had no intention of giving up, and said calmly: "Three thousand years ago, countless peak great cultivators disappeared mysteriously, and even the world's spiritual energy regressed by half, and even in that short hundred years, all traces were directly erased, didn't the academy try to understand?"

The old man asked again, "Did Dao Yan Zhenren call you to ask?"

Shen Yu shook his head and said, "It's me."

Hearing this, the old man no longer hesitated, shook his head and said, "These things have nothing to do with you juniors, and the academy will naturally tell you when you are qualified."

"I've heard from Senior Brother that you've been studying the Lost Age for the last few years."

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, looked at the books, and asked, "This is the record from thousands of years ago?"

The old man glanced at Shen Yu, thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to see it, you can go in and check it yourself."

Shen Yu bent down slightly and said, "Thank you."

...

When Shen Yu walked into the cave, he found that there was a cave here, and there were more than a dozen open spaces like the bookshelves outside, and those old books with a sense of age were quietly placed there, and some even had only two or three pages of fragments, and the handwriting was already blurred.

The old man said, "Don't think about it, all the books here are, if you really want to find out, just flip through them slowly."

Shen Yu smiled, "Thank you seniors, I'll bother seniors for a few days in the future."

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 dislike it, just call me sir."

Shen Yu nodded slightly, then casually picked up an ancient book beside him and stood there to read.

After just reading two or three pages, Shen Yu knew how complicated the content here was, all the information about three thousand years ago, no matter what kind of information had been collected here, even some of the moves from three thousand years ago and the information figures of the major first-class sects were not missing.

It is conceivable that only the academy can have such a big means.

The old man looked at Shen Yu's already absorbed appearance, did not disturb, and just left the cave silently.

In the next few days, Shen Yu seemed to be obsessed, and there seemed to be nothing else to do except reading books all day long, except for the occasional tired rest, there were more and more books piled up at hand, like a hill.

The old man was reading with Shen Yu one day, and he was a little tired in the evening, so he turned his head and saw that Shen Yu was still so calm and serious, and asked, "Can you see what's coming?"

Shen Yu shook his head and said, "Except for introducing some character power gossip, I didn't find anything."

The old man said, "I have watched it for so many years, and I know that if I want to uncover something, I must be good at connecting the news threads one by one, even if the final answer is wrong, but at least this is the chance."

Shen Yu put down the book and put on a posture of listening to his ears.

The old man said seriously: "Like beads scattered on the ground, our thinking is like a line, and by piecing together the beads with this thread, we can get a complete story, which may be wrong, but it is also possible to find a way to find the truth."

Shen Yu said, "It makes sense, I don't know what Mr. Wen can see with this method."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled slightly, looking a little proud, and said, "For example, the Giant Whale Gate, do you know?"

Shen Yu nodded and said calmly, "Three thousand years ago, the first-class sect that briefly rose in Beihai, and the sect master Zhu Whale is a great cultivator of the Immortal Realm."

"Not bad."

The old man nodded, and then said, "In recent years, I have devoted myself to research, but the results have never been

A secret has been found in the same biographical information, that is, the Giant Whale Gate was destroyed for no reason, ostensibly because of vendetta, but in fact because he offended a certain teenager on the beach, and that young man happened to be the heir of a certain holy place!"

The old man smiled slightly, obviously very proud of his discovery.

Shen Yu understands the old man's feelings, and finds out a truth buried by time in every seemingly inadvertent message, which is an extremely proud and satisfying feeling for readers.

Shen Yu saw the old man's childlike smile, and after thinking about it, he still didn't plan to tell some facts.

That's exactly what he knew.

Because the young man who was offended by the Giant Whale Gate was Zhang Xujing, that is, the patriarch who founded the Taoist Sect three thousand years ago, and.... His personal disciple.

As for the reason for the destruction of the Giant Whale Gate, it is even more absurd, because when some cliché grievances and hatreds were settled, the master of the Giant Whale Gate happened to know that Zhang Xujing was his disciple, and without saying a word, he was directly frightened and sent out the treasure of the sect, and Shen Yu at that time naturally ignored it, but who would have thought that Zhu Whale thought that a catastrophe was coming, and then simply disguised a disaster, and disbanded the entire sect by chance......

So this matter was naturally spread by ten or ten, and some people who thought they knew the inside story passed it on.

Shen Yu also learned about this matter after hearing Zhang Xujing talk about it as an interesting thing, and now he suddenly remembered it and felt a little emotional.

In that era 3,000 years ago, there would only be more, not less, and many unclear truths were buried in the long river of history, even if you occasionally thought you knew the truth, but the actual appearance often caught you off guard.

Shen Yu shook his head, suddenly feeling that these were all boring things, and then shifted his gaze to the book.

What is the explanation of a thousand sorrows? Only reading.

Shen Yu looked at the big characters posted next to the entrance of the cave, smiled, and his mind was calm in the sea of books again.

...

At first glance, it is a month, and a month is thirty days.

Shen Yu hadn't gone out for thirty days at the entrance of the cave.

An old man came at the entrance of the cave, Meng Gui stood at the entrance of the cave, looked at the man with a somewhat haggard face, and was silent.

Mr. Wen Ruohai was basking in the sun outside the entrance of the cave and said lazily, "Why are you free to come here today? What a rarity."

Meng Gui snorted coldly and said, "As for the broken thing you studied, he wants to ask, you just tell him directly, why are you still grinding?" Where is the belly of the reader?"

Wen Ruohai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Yo, you don't even care about your own students, when did you care so much about a Dao Sect junior?"

Meng Gui said, "It's your business."

Wen Ruohai was naturally very casual with this old friend who had been familiar with him for many years, and shook his head with a smile.

There was silence for a while.

Meng Gui frowned and said, "You are a sour talent, you really don't say it? Tell me what you did when you studied the of 3,000 years ago?"

Wen Ruohai sighed, shook his head and said, "These things are still things that he doesn't need to know now, and besides, do you really think that I am reluctant to tell this little thing I know?"

Meng Gui's eyebrows raised slightly, "Oh? Who else forced you?"

"It's the Dean." Wen Ruohai's face was calm, he isolated the aura around him, and said softly, "Regarding the matter of three thousand years ago, the dean actually studied it many years ago, and only told me about it a few years ago, and he has always ordered it not to be passed on."

Meng Gui raised his eyebrows and said, "Why didn't you tell me."

Wen Ruohai said lightly, "With your temperament, can you stay here for half a month? Are you sure you can keep your mouth shut?"

Meng Gui rolled his eyes, obviously not wanting to speak, and after a moment, he frowned and said, "Strange, how can even the dean care so much about this matter, according to what I know about him, it must be more than just curiosity."

Wen Ruohai said simply and calmly, "I don't know."

Able to glare suddenly, "You are not

Are you deliberately hiding something from me?"

Wen Ruohai suddenly rolled his eyes, and scolded rudely, "Roll the calf."

Meng Gui retracted his gaze abruptly, turned his head to look inside the cave, and asked, "Then what should I do about this?"

Wen Ruohai said calmly: "I also knew some fragmentary answers from these books, but they are still some ambiguous things, if you have real skills, you can naturally figure it out by yourself."
