Chapter 56: Is It Fate or Bad Fate?
The words of the Black Electric Evil Tiger were like a thunderbolt from the sky, causing Shen Mo to break out in a cold sweat in an instant.
Shen Mo looked down at the space ring, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that Bai Huanyu's father also died in that altar, and the Black Electric Evil Tiger knows that altar well, which means that it once participated in the earth-shattering battle on the altar, and it can even be said that the Black Electric Evil Tiger and the death of Bai Huanyu's father are directly related; ”
After a brief silence, Shen Mo asked, "Why didn't Bai Huanyu bring her father's body back?"
Hearing this, the Black Lightning Evil Tiger chuckled: "In the battle in the altar back then, there were no survivors except for me and Ruxue, and no one knew the location of the Dao Altar, even if some people guessed that the altar was in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountain, they didn't dare to rush in to find it." Although Bai Huanyu is a woman, she is a master of art and bold, and she ventured to the 100,000 Mountains to find the altar yesterday, so I went back. ”
"Did she find it?"
Although the Black Electric Evil Tiger was injured, the expression on his face was unusually relaxed when he heard this question: "Of course I didn't find it, if it was so easy to find, other powerful people would have come to find it a long time ago, why wait until today?"
Speaking of this, the Black Electric Evil Tiger suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I won't tell you, my strength is not the top existence among the demon beasts of the 100,000 mountains, and there are stronger demon beasts above me." And these monsters are silently guarding the altar. ”
Hearing this, Shen Mo couldn't help but think in his heart, the Black Electric Evil Tiger, as an eighth-level peak demon beast, was already extremely rare, if it was stronger than the Black Electric Evil Tiger, then there were only ninth-level demon beasts and legendary holy beasts.
Thinking of this, Shen Mo's body couldn't help but be shocked, and he was shocked: "Could it be that there are ninth-level dragons in the 100,000 mountains?"
Although the Black Lightning Evil Tiger did not answer directly, it answered the silent question with a smile, and then it said: "Most people now believe that the dragon clan was extinct in the great war between the human race and the demon race a hundred years ago, and in fact, the dragon clan still exists in this world, there is one on the 100,000 mountains, I have seen it with my own eyes, it is a female fire dragon, the existence of the ninth level peak. ”
"The most important point, it is five hundred years old, it has participated in the great battle between the human race and the demon race, has experienced the baptism of war, and its strength is extremely strong, I am in front of it, it is not worth mentioning at all. ”
Shen Mo said thoughtfully: "In other words, it is precisely because of the existence of this giant dragon that those powerful people dare not rashly enter the 100,000 Mountains to find the altar?"
"Not bad. ”
"That dragon is just like you, and has a lot to do with Ruxue?" asked silently.
Hearing this, the Black Electric Evil Tiger was silent, and then breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "I have told you too many things that should not be said, this topic will stop here, there are some things that you should not know now, when your strength is strong enough, all the mysteries will be automatically revealed." ”
Every time Shen Mo asked the key point, the Black Electric Evil Tiger kept silent, which made Shen Mo very depressed, but there was no way.
The last question: "If there is nothing wrong with snow, right?"
After all, Bai Huanyu can even hurt the Black Electric Evil Tiger like this, let alone Ruxue, who doesn't have the slightest combat power.
The Black Electric Evil Tiger nodded: "Ruxue has already left Pingyang City, and Bai Huanyu doesn't know about the existence of Ruxue at all, so it won't threaten Ruxue." Okay, I'm going to rest, don't ask anymore. With that, the Black Electric Tiger closed his eyes and ignored the silence.
All kinds of mysteries lingered in Shen Mo's mind, making Shen Mo haunted by dreams and puzzled.
One of the most confusing is the space ring on his hand, this ring originally belonged to Bai Huanyu's father, and after he went to the royal city, he had to find Bai Huanyu first, once Bai Huanyu saw this space ring, he would inevitably ask about the whereabouts of his altar, how should he respond at that time?
Forget it, as the saying goes, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, take one step at a time.
The fact that the Bai family was wiped out by the Leng family soon caused an uproar in Pingyang City, and the local civilians almost overwhelmingly supported the Leng family, and for a time the entire Pingyang City was discussing this matter in a noisy manner.
"Have you heard? The Bai family was actually killed by the Leng family. ”
"Nonsense, such a big thing, maybe you don't know the way? It's really relieving, the Bai family is usually arrogant and domineering, who in the entire Pingyang City has not been oppressed by them? Now that he has been killed by the Leng family, he really deserves it. ”
"Anyway, last night's battle was really fierce, my second uncle lived outside the city, and was awakened by the violent explosion in the middle of the night, and when I entered the city this morning, the front of the Bai family was in a mess, and the ground was blown out of several big pits, so scared that my second uncle almost collapsed to the ground, and thought that the world was over. ”
"Hehe, do you know who caused those big pits in front of the Bai family?"
"Who?"
"White Crane and Silence!"
"Bai Canghe is quite understandable, but silent? Isn't his strength the fourfold realm of talent and strength? How can he be Bai Canghe's opponent?"
"You don't know what to do, do you? Let me tell you, the strength of silence is unfathomable. A friend of mine is the Leng family soldier who participated in the battle last night, and the friend said that from the beginning, Shen Mo fought alone with Bai Canghe, and when the battle was over, when they found Bai Canghe, they found Bai Canghe lying on the ground dying, and his entire cultivation was ruined, and Shen Mo seemed to have nothing to do, which was really terrible. ”
"Tut-tut, Bai Canghe's strength is the sixfold peak of the Qi Realm! Even Bai Canghe is not an opponent, how strong is Shen Mo? Could it be the strength of the Spirit Sea Realm? Our Pingyang City has not been a strong man in the Spirit Sea Realm for many years, if this is the case, Shen Mo can be said to be the hero of our Pingyang City. ”
"Do you think that Shen Mo can win the championship of the Hundred Courtyards of Martial Arts?"
"It's hard to say that the champion is the top three, the top three should be fine, and then our Pingyang City will be famous because of silence!"
“......”
Compared with the common people, some local magnates also seem to realize the seriousness of the problem, and those who have a good relationship with the Leng family before rushed to the Leng family to say goodbye, wishing the Leng family a successful kill of the Bai family and becoming the largest family in Pingyang City.
And those who have a bad relationship with the Leng family also hurried to the Leng family to express their kindness, hoping that Leng Zheng can release his previous suspicions, so as not to be pressed by Leng Zheng in the future.
In addition to these snobs, even the teachers and deans of Binh Duong College came, but what they were looking for was not Leng Zheng, but silence.
When Leng Zheng sent the magnates away, only Shen Mo, the dean and a group of teachers were left in the hall.
Leng Zheng didn't look at these guys with his eyes, and said coldly: "I always thought that you were a bit of a backbone person, but I didn't expect that it was also the grass on the wall, and when I saw that the Bai family was finished, you came to me to surrender and win over the silence?"
The teachers didn't dare to speak, the dean looked embarrassed, and said ashamedly: "Patriarch Leng, we did obey the Bai family in the past, but it was also a helpless move, after all, a small place like Pingyang City was already financially constrained and could not provide the necessary sources of funds for the college, but the Bai family was one of the largest funders of the college, and it can be said that the Bai family held the lifeblood of the success or failure of Pingyang College." ”
Speaking of this, the dean paused for a moment, and then said: "Even if the academy closes, it is not a big deal, it is a big deal for me and the other teachers to go to another college to find another job, but if we leave, what will happen to the students in Pingyang City? This is a matter of education, and we dare not slack off, so we can only let Bai Canghe lead the way." ”
To be honest, these teachers are also quite pitiful, if they are placed in other places, the academy is directly funded by the local city lord, or the tuition fee is charged to cover the necessary expenses of the college. In a small place like Pingyang City, firstly, the lord of the city is very poor, and secondly, the commoners are very poor, and they can only rely on the financial support of the big family.
Respected teachers in other places have become puppets at the mercy of others in Pingyang City, and I am afraid that only teachers in Pingyang City are the real ones who have a long way to go. In the eyes of the world's incomprehension, he silently adhered to his beliefs and duties.
In fact, Leng Zheng could also understand, but he was a little angry, took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and said: "Don't worry, from now on, the source of funds of Pingyang Academy will be fully responsible for my Leng family, and I will not interfere in any affairs of the college." ”
Hearing this, the dean was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Then, Leng Zheng glanced at Shen Mu, who was sitting next to him, and then asked the dean, "You guys are here today, I'm afraid there are other things, right?"
"As Patriarch Leng said, there is indeed something else to find silence. ”
"Then you can say it. After speaking, Leng Zheng left.
Seeing Leng Zheng leave, then the dean looked at Shen Mo apologetically: "Shen Mo, you don't blame us, do you?"
Shen Mo chuckled lightly and said respectfully: "Dean, don't say that, you were also subject to the white crane before, but even so, you still firmly guard your beliefs as a teacher, this alone is enough to make me respectful, so what's the blame?"
Speaking of this, Shen Mo changed his words and said, "But there is one thing I have never been able to understand. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" asked the dean hurriedly.
Shen Mo didn't answer immediately, but first glanced at all the teachers, and then said: "Don't hide it from the dean, when I was in the academy promotion competition, I went back to the Sleepy Dragon Tower again, and I went to the fourth floor, but the trap beast inside the fourth layer was, it was supposed to be a trap beast with a heavy strength in the seventh-layer Spirit Sea Realm, what is going on?"
In fact, what Shen Mo wants to say is that there are obviously people plotting against him, and there must be an inner ghost among the teachers who has a 'close relationship' with the Bai family.
Hearing this, the dean couldn't help but be stunned. Because he has been wondering about this matter, and after thinking about it for several days, he can't figure out who the divine actually defeated the seventh-layer mechanism beast, and at this time, after listening to the silent words, the dean suddenly realized, and his eyes first flashed with excitement, and then with sternness.
Turning to look at a middle-aged male teacher behind him, he shouted sternly: "Zhou Jianning, the Sleepy Dragon Pagoda has been guarded by you, and you are also the closest to the Bai family, did you do this?!"
Being drunk like this by the dean, a trace of panic flashed in Zhou Jiannian's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said forcefully: "Dean, you can't wronged a good person." ”
Zhou Jianning refused to admit it, and the dean couldn't do anything about him.
At this moment, Shen Mo suddenly stood up and asked with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, let me ask you a question, where were you that day?"
Zhou Jianning rolled his eyes and said, "I was not feeling well that day, at home." ”
"So you didn't go to the academy that day?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Shen Mo smiled and nodded, turned his head to everyone and asked, "Have any of you ever been to the Sleepy Dragon Tower?"
All the teachers shook their heads again and again, and one of the teachers said: "The Sleepy Dragon Tower has always been managed by Zhou Jianning, and we rarely go there, plus those days were the academy promotion tournament, and we were so busy that we couldn't spare time to go to the Sleepy Dragon Tower." ”
Shen Mo turned his head and asked the dean, "Where did the defeated trap beast be found?"
Without thinking, the dean replied, "Seven floors." ”
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth rose, and he turned his head to look at Zhou Jianning, whose face was getting more and more ugly, and his calm tone carried a strong mockery: "The trap beast was found on the seventh floor, and I fought on the fourth floor, the broken soul gathering stone on the fourth floor is the evidence, and you are the only one who can move the trap beast, what else do you have to say now?"
