Douluo: The soul travels to Xu Yunhan and vows to marry Tang Wutong!

Chapter 306 305. Metaphor
Long Yan frowned and said, "Brother Chen, the Spirit Pagoda rarely participates in the battles on Douluo Continent. It focuses on studying the spirit system and awakens martial spirits for civilians for free, contributing to the development of the spirit master system. Which force would be so blind as to not want to see the spirit master system develop and become stronger?"

Xu Yunhan chuckled and said, "Yan'er, let me tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a temple in a small city. In the temple lived a group of powerful monks. Every time a wild beast attacked the city, the monks would drive the beast away."

"Over time, the existence of the temple became known to everyone, and the residents of the city were all grateful to the monks. They felt that if the monks hadn't rescued them, they would have become food for wild animals."

"As the temple's reputation spread, residents sent their sons and daughters to the temple, and people were proud to join the temple."

"Just like that, the temple became stronger and stronger, and directly became the most powerful force in the city. Even the City Lord's Mansion had to give way to the temple."

"Later, wild beasts attacked the city again, but the monks in the temple were slow to fight against them and instead stayed indoors."

"Under the residents' desperate pleas, the monks in the temple finally went out of the city to fight and repelled the aggressive beasts."

"When some residents held the bodies of their relatives that had been bitten to pieces by wild beasts and questioned the monks why they did not fight back in time, the monks replied..."

"You should resent the beasts that destroyed your homeland, instead of speaking ill of the savior who saved you from the beasts."

"Later, a small organization appeared in the city and began to recruit children from poor families. No matter what their background or talent was, they could join the organization and learn martial arts."

"But the temple only recruited disciples with extraordinary talents. Before long, the strength of that organization was able to compete with the temple."

"When the organization gathered residents and headed out of the city to the gathering place of the beasts, hoping to eradicate the hidden dangers in the city once and for all, they found that the beasts were not vulnerable at all. The temple had already had the strength to eradicate them."

Xu Yunhan's voice stopped abruptly, leaving the three women with enough room to think.

They knew that Xu Yunhan would not tell them an irrelevant story for no reason, so they racked their brains to analyze useful information from it.

The temple has only one purpose for supporting the enemy, and that is... "faith"! As long as the beast exists, the temple is the god in the hearts of the residents. They need an external enemy to threaten the lives of the residents in order to maintain their own rule.

Is this a metaphor for a certain person or a certain force?

The three women noticed this situation almost at the same time, and quickly associated it with the historical background of Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago.

That was a most tragic era. As the gathering place of evil soul masters, the Holy Spirit Church possessed two of the three ultimate Douluo in the world.

If the beast refers to the evil soul master or the Holy Spirit Church, then... the object of the temple metaphor is obvious! Not a word about Shrek, not a word about Shrek!
The three girls all set their eyes on Xu Yunhan. They didn't understand. He was clearly working for Poseidon Pavilion, so why would he say bad things about Poseidon Pavilion and Shrek Academy behind their backs?
After an unknown amount of silence, Long Yan could not help but ask, "Brother Chen, we were clearly discussing which faction disliked the Spirit Pagoda, so why did you point the finger at Poseidon Pavilion and Shrek Academy?"

Xu Yunhan said calmly, "Yan'er, whose interests do you think are harmed by the Spirit Pagoda awakening martial spirits for civilians for free? Ten thousand years ago, evil spirit masters were rampant on the Douluo Continent. The emperors of the Heavenly Soul, Douluo, and Xingluo Empires, as well as the nobles, were afraid of their own deaths, so they all showed goodwill to the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy."

"Now, since the Spirit Pagoda has been providing free martial spirit awakening services to civilians, the number of spirit masters in the major forces has increased exponentially. The once-powerful Holy Spirit Church can no longer thrive, even with the secret support of the Shrek Academy."

Long Yan curled his lips and said unhappily: "My aunt and uncle are not that kind of people at all. They are both from common people and have no reason to hate the Spirit Pagoda!"

Xu Yunhan asked, "Yan'er, at this point, do you still think that the Sea God Pavilion is your aunt and uncle's Sea God Pavilion? If they can have the final say in the Sea God Pavilion, why does Shrek Academy only recruit 300 students, instead of accepting all soul masters of any level like the Spirit Transferring Pagoda?"

As he spoke, Xu Yunhan hugged Long Yan tightly in his arms. "Yan'er, don't worry, your husband will never let you down. My aunt and the Zhuoshi elders are on the same side as your husband. If not for this, I would never agree to marry you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yan and Zhuoying both turned their eyes to Mu Xi.

This made Mu Xi extremely embarrassed. You are all partners with the same stance, and she is the only outsider, right?
Mu Xi scratched his head and said with an embarrassed look: "Dean Gu, Dean Gu, and Sister Yan, Sister Ying, don't worry, I will definitely keep today's matter to myself. Dean Gu, you also know that my father is just a poor Saint Craftsman who wants to become a Divine Craftsman. Our family has nothing to do with Shrek Academy."

Xu Yunhan said coldly: "Swear by your spirit, Mu Xi, it's not that I don't trust you, but you are too emotional, and you might leak the news at any time. To be safe, I can only use this method to shut you up."

Mu Xi and Tang Wulin have a relationship of senior sister and junior brother. Before the plan was implemented, Xu Yunhan did not want Tang Wulin to be aware of his hostility towards Poseidon Pavilion.

Tang Wulin might find out about his own life experience someday, and he doesn't want Tang Hao and A Yin to be born early.

After Mu Xi's spirit swore an oath, Xu Yunhan took out a device similar to an oil lamp, injected a trace of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire into it, and hung it on the ceiling.

Under the illumination of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, the three women felt that the coldness in their bodies had been dispelled, and their whole bodies were warm.

After a while, sweat started to flow down the foreheads of the three women. Unable to bear it any longer, Long Yan took off his red jacket and thick stockings and put on the same dark red outfit that he had worn for thousands of years.

Xu Yunhan even shifted his gaze to the side. "If you two feel hot and want to change clothes, change quickly. I won't spy on you two. I'll make you some spiritual tea after you're done."

Xu Yunhan no longer paid attention to the movement behind him, and took out an exquisite little teapot from his soul guide.
