Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"But... I was a little too excited just now and accidentally knocked over the table inside. Now the house is... very dirty. I think it's better for us to change the place where we talk."

After speaking, Li Ang did not give the master and apprentice a chance to answer, and then said, "Why don't we ask Magistrate Wu? He told me Miss Jingzhe's residence. I think he should be happy to help us provide it." A place for conversation.”

"I don't think there's any need to trouble Magistrate Wu for this little matter,"

Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and said softly, "The next thing you look at is me."

With that said, Zhang Tianshi shook his sleeves and walked swaggering towards the yard.

Li Ang glanced at the others and motioned to follow the old master.

Has he discovered his purpose?Li Ang thought secretly.

He must have discovered it... Just like Zhang Tianshi didn't hide his intentions, Li Ang didn't hide his temptation either.

Zhang Tianshi responded directly to Li Ang's temptation just now.

It seems... what they want to do has nothing to do with the court, so although the local prefect Wu knows that Jingzhe lives here, Zhang Tianshi still doesn't want the prefect to be involved in what happens next.

No, you can't think so.

What if it was because what Zhang Tianshi was going to do next involved too much, so they received a secret order from Emperor Dayan to hide everything under the water?

But no matter what, what they will do next cannot be put on the table.

This is a good thing for Li Ang. Although his predecessor may be one of the incarnations of the Sui Beast, this does not mean that he wants to participate in the internal disputes in the Yan Kingdom. If it doesn't work, he can still run away.

Zhang Tianshi returned to the house, looked at the messy ground and shook his head.

He stretched out his hand and pointed towards the ground, and a stream of water emerged out of thin air, picking up the leftovers and broken dishes on the ground and stuffing them into the trash can outside the house. The whole room suddenly took on a new look.

After straightening the fallen table and chairs, Zhang Tianshi said calmly, "Okay, let's talk now."

Everyone took their seats one by one. Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi sat on the main seat. As his disciple, Jingzhe, for some unknown reason, did not sit down and stood slightly behind Zhang Tianshi.

Li Ang sat opposite Zhang Tianshi, and Adele also sat beside Li Ang habitually.

And Xi...it could be seen that he originally wanted to imitate Jingzhe and stand behind Li Ang, but when she saw Adele's movements and thoughts, she didn't know what kind of ideological struggle Xi had gone through, she actually ran to He brought a chair from the side and sat on the other side of Li Ang menacingly.

It's really a bit dumbfounding.

Although Zhang Tianshi's expression did not change at all, Li Ang clearly saw that the corners of Jingzhe's mouth twitched twice, as if Xi had made him speechless.

However, thanks to Xi's behavior just now, the tense atmosphere in the room was diluted a lot.

"In that case, I'll ask directly."

"Master Zhang, why are you looking for me? What do the stories your apprentice told me before have anything to do with 'years'? I don't think you are stopping Xi just because you don't want him to come to me."

"Please be patient,"

Zhang Tianshi knocked on the table, and the clear sound seemed to have some special power, which made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts.

"Although everyone hasn't arrived yet, it's time to tell you something."

"It's all related to a man named Wei Xiangming."

"You may not have heard of this name, but if he were called by another name, you should know who he is."

"King of Han." Zhang Tianshi said, "He is the younger brother of the real dragon back then."

Chapter 23 Mausoleum

Among the few people present, whether it was Li Ang or Adele, they basically knew nothing about Yan Country.

Yan Country has been closed to the outside world for hundreds of years. More than 30 years ago, other countries could still send ambassadors to Yan Country, and they could learn some internal news about Yan Country.

However, since Victoria's ambassador was killed, Yanguo has been very 'friendly' and invited the ambassadors of other countries out. Since that incident, Yanguo has completely cut off contact with other countries in the Terra world and has become an information on the island.

Therefore, only Xi could understand what Zhang Tianshi just said.

"Hanwang? I seem to have heard of that guy."

After thinking for a moment, Xi said rudely, "However, I remember that when he died, most of us were not born yet, right? What does he have to do with us?"

Xi was not very old. After she gained self-awareness, she was curious about Sui's experience, so she learned about what happened that year, and thus knew that there was such a person as the King of Han.

Although the two brothers were very legendary and had accomplished unique feats in the Terra continent, they had been dead for who knows how many years. Even their bones had probably turned into ashes, and they did not feel that a dead person could pose any threat.

"Are you trying to say that the King of Han is actually not dead? He has lived to this day and is still plotting something?"

Although Xi herself didn't realize it, she had been trying to express herself in front of her brother who finally reunited, and even spoke with a little more confidence, which surprised Zhang Daoling, who was familiar with her character.

He touched the beard on his chin and said, "Of course, the King of Han is just an ordinary person, and there is no way he can survive until now."

"However, I said that he is the person who knows the 'Behemoth' and the 'Sui' best in the history of Dayan. There should be no problem, right?"

Xi fell silent.

Zhang Daoling is indeed right. If we only talk about Dui Sui and other gods, even his true dragon brother cannot compare with him.

The reason is also very simple. One of them is the Emperor of Dayan, and the other is the commander-in-chief of thousands of armies.

"The King of Han made countless contributions to Dayan during his military life. His most outstanding contribution was to lead the army to drive away all the giant beasts in Dayan."

Seeing that Xi had stopped talking, Zhang Daoling said slowly, "However, I don't think anyone knows that the King of Han did not live a particularly peaceful life in his later years."

"Because of those gods...or the curse of the giant beast?" Li Ang interrupted.

According to his and Adele's inference, Yanguo's true dragon position may have been cursed due to the action of expelling the gods, so there is no reason why Hanwang, one of the main participants, could survive.

"You guessed it right." Zhang Daoling nodded, "Expelling the giant beasts is not an easy task. The King of Han has left hidden wounds all over his body in the long battles. Even before the great cause of conferring the gods was completed, his My body won’t be able to bear it anymore.”

In the history of Great Yan, the true dragon was also a master with mixed reputations.

Although the great cause of consecrating the gods brought countless benefits to the subsequent development of the Yan Kingdom, it also dealt a fatal blow to the Great Yan at that time, and even once faced the crisis of annihilation of the country.

In the evaluation of later generations, the true dragon was an extremely self-centered and willful person.

Whether it was to prevent King Han's achievements from shocking his master, or to make himself famous in history, the true dragon would not publicize King Han's achievements too much.

"So in various history books, there is not much description of the King of Han. Only my disciples left some relevant records." Zhang Daoling said.

"After King Han's body collapsed, Zhenlong invited the best doctor from Yan Kingdom for him. Unfortunately, his problems could not be solved by ordinary medicines and spells. His body was like a broken bottom. No matter how much vitality is replenished in a bottle, it will flow away from the bottom of the broken bottle."

"After years of unsuccessfully seeking medical treatment, the King of Han could only turn his attention to the being he had expelled."

"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell. The root of his disease was caused when he drove away the giant beast. Perhaps only the giant beast can solve his problems."

Xi's brows twitched slightly, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

After expelling all the gods, in order to prevent these existences from coming back, they naturally wanted to study what kind of existence these 'gods' were, and later formed a specialized discipline.

The first thing they did was to pull the 'gods' from their throne, so they changed from gods to 'behemoths'.

The origin of megazoology has always been a mystery.

Since the Ministry of Rites has been handling matters related to the giant beasts for so many years, it has even split into an organization like Sisitai. But now listening to Zhang Daoling, it seems that it was not the Ministry of Rites who initially studied those giant beasts, but the little one who studied those giant beasts. The King of Han that no one has ever noticed.

This is a truth that not many people know.

"It's a pity that the King of Han's illness has become serious and his research did not last long before he passed away."

Then, Zhang Daoling suddenly changed the topic and said, "Don't you really want to know what the relationship between the series of unsolved cases more than 30 years ago has to do with you? According to the investigation of my apprentice, although those people have nothing to do with each other on the surface, But in fact they have been robbing graves secretly."

Tomb robbing, archaeology, exploration... In this world, these three things can be confused in most cases.

The development of science and technology depends on archeology, which is no joke.

Before this season of civilization, there was an extremely prosperous civilization on the continent of Terra. They were destroyed for unknown reasons and left countless ruins on the continent. Anyone who can dig up anything can benefit endlessly. This is also the culprit behind why the technology tree of this world is so deformed.

Just like Miss Magellan whom Li Ang once met, she is a professional explorer hired by Rheinland Life. The technology of digging out ruins is enough to create a top company, and sending ambassadors to other countries to secretly dig up ruins. Although this behavior is a bit low, it is not incomprehensible.

It doesn't matter if it's low, as long as it works.

The Yan Kingdom is so large that even trying to identify the traces of a group of tomb robbers is somewhat difficult, and using the name of tomb robbers can conceal their true purpose.

After all, tomb robbing and excavation of relics have completely different meanings to a country.

"Based on the last clues left by those people during their lives, it is very likely that they found the tomb of King Han." Zhang Daoling said.

Chapter 24 Zhang Tianshi’s plan

"Were they... wiped out?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows.

Because they dug up something they shouldn't know, all the people related to them were wiped out?

This is a very common situation, but the person who took action was not the Imperial Court of Great Yan, but an unknown force that had been lurking in Great Yan for who knows how many years, which made things a little more subtle.

No one spoke for a while, as they were all digesting the news revealed by Zhang Tianshi just now.

"What...did they dig up?"

Xi was the most impatient of all, so she finally couldn't help but was the first to ask this question.

Ever since he learned that King Han might be the founder of Megazoology, a strange feeling of anxiety has always lingered in Xi's heart.

She didn't know where this feeling came from, but something very bad was definitely happening in a corner that she didn't know about.

The root of all this is the so-called 'Han Dynasty Tomb'.

Zhang Daoling's answer did not satisfy Xi. He shook his head and said, "No one knows what is hidden in the tomb of King Han, but it must be something related to giant beasts."

"age……"

Xi held her forehead and sighed weakly.

Something related to giant beasts... To put it bluntly, isn't it something related to Sui?

At that time, all the giant beasts in the Yan Kingdom except Sui had been expelled. If the King of Han wanted to study Sui, Sui would be his only research object.

Not to mention that it later split into 12 different fragments. Is there any better research material than this?After the death of King Han, the results of his research were naturally brought to his tomb.

The victims of several murders 30 years ago split into twelve incarnations. The two groups were originally unrelated to each other, but they were connected by a little-known character in history.

"I think our interests are aligned in this matter."

"So what?"

Xi obviously still wanted to struggle a little more, "There are many people who plot the power of giant beasts... I think there are even people in Sisuitai who have this idea, but after so many years, nothing has happened." ?"

"Can a mere mausoleum change everything?"

"This time is different," Zhang Daoling's face was very serious. "The previous research on giant beasts... no matter how outrageous it was, it was still under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and there would be no too unexpected situations."

"But that organization is different. They are hidden too deep in Dayan. If it weren't for my disciple who insisted on investigating the case, Dayan would not even have discovered their existence."

"More than 20 years have passed since those murders. Who knows what they have done. Even if there is only one in [-] chance of the Sui Beast being resurrected, we will never allow this to happen."

"Besides, didn't you have that dream?"

At this moment, Xi's expression finally changed and she lost her voice, "Wait? How do you know? Who told..."

"...Yes, Big Brother and Big Sister have a good relationship with you. If anything happens, they will definitely tell you."

Xi murmured.

However, Li Ang on the side was a little confused after hearing this.

Dream?What dream?

It sounds like all the Sui Beast incarnations had a dream related to Sui, which is why it attracted Zhang Tianshi's attention. But if Li Ang is also one of the Sui Beast incarnations, why didn't they dream?Is it because his time in Yan Country was too short?

At this moment, Li Ang's identity became confusing again.

"So, that's why you found us?"

Xi's voice seemed a little low, and her long bangs hung down on her forehead, making it difficult for the master and apprentice opposite to see the expression on her face at this time.

"Why don't you go find Big Brother and Big Sister? They are much more powerful than me. If I remember correctly, isn't Big Sister very free now?"

"...Many people know that she has nothing to do now, so we can't look for her."

There was an inexplicable meaning in Zhang Daoling's tone, "Xi, I know this request is a bit excessive for you, but you are definitely the most suitable candidate."

"You don't want the Sui Beast to be resurrected again, right?"

This sentence finally broke down the last line of defense in Xi's heart, and she shouted with some self-defeat, "That's enough!! I know!"

"I'm the kind of guy who has no sense of existence! That's what you must think!"

Even with Zhang Daoling's thick-skinned tempered over hundreds of years, he seemed a little helpless at this moment. That's what he really thought.

But he didn't expect Xi's reaction to be so strong.
