Chapter 20: Taboos

He picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea into the cup, pushed one cup to the old man, and then handed one cup to the junior brother, but he touched a fruit again, and took a bite, the juice splashed, and a faint fragrance spread in the room.

The old man sniffed, smelled the fragrance, he seemed to regain his vitality, glanced at the fruit in the fat man's hand, and said slowly: "It should have been plugged a long time ago, if you don't go so diligently, I will keep the hole for you." ”

Some things are not good if they are broken, just like the fat senior brother, at this time he was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he thought about it and argued: "If the Central Plains wants to fight, the god-killing army will definitely be dispatched, no matter who the commander is, the result is the same, as long as the rock city does not fall for a day, my southern Xinjiang will always be controlled by others, how can this be blamed on my junior brother?"

Cheng Xiaoxi listened to his senior brother's words, and combined with the situation in Qingfeng City and Qinglong City at this time, he understood what the old man meant.

He was kind, and war was not what he wanted, but he had the heart to change but did not have that much ability, after a little contemplation, he said to the old man: "Sir, it is no longer as good as it was at the beginning, and I have no way to change what happened before, but if I have the ability in the future, I will definitely stand on the side of southern Xinjiang." ”

The old man was just trying to become a small stream, and although the Southern Xinjiang Academy accepted everyone regardless of their origins, they were also unwilling to cultivate talents for the enemy.

Cheng Xiaoxi's words made the old man re-evaluate him, only to feel that the little boy in front of him had clear thinking and was very smart, and he would definitely not be a layman in the future.

Thinking of this, he laughed out loud and said, "Boy, I just tried your mind just now, I already knew your affairs, and you can rest assured that you will practice in my academy in the future." There are your grandfather and grandmother in the army, and your master and brother in the academy, and now I am one more, as long as you live up to my southern Xinjiang, even if the Holy Venerable is close in the future, my southern Xinjiang will keep you safe!"

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say next time, I still have something to do, by the way, old man, don't block the entrance to the cave. ”

The fat senior brother stood up slowly, he was a little helpless, this person was indeed a little nagging in old age, and he was grinding for a long time, so he got to the point, but it was the master's intention to come to see this old man, even if he was reluctant, he couldn't help but come.

Turning around and pulling Cheng Xiaoxi, the two saluted to the old man, and the fat senior brother said again: "Then I'll go, you also inform the following teachers and stewards, I am very happy to see you, and I have seen the old man back." ”

The senior brother waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door, his movements were indescribably free, and Cheng Xiaoxi had to confess: "Sir, thank you for a lot." ”

After saying that, he chased his senior brother downstairs.

When the two teenagers walked out of the door, the old man waved his hand casually, and the door creaked, and it closed in a blink of an eye.

The old man leaned sideways, looked out the window with empty eyes, and saw that the flowers and trees were lush and green, and the clear stream was slender and long, a scene full of vitality.

"Alas!"

He sighed heavily, unable to tell what mood he was in, "I don't know how many years there are still ...... be clean in this great mountain and river."

The fat senior brother walked very fast, and Cheng Xiaoxi went down two floors before catching up, and the senior brother suddenly paused and turned around.

"Do you know who that old man is?"

Looking at the old man's demeanor and tone, when he was in a very powerful position in the academy, Cheng Xiaoxi had a guess in his heart, and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that he is the dean of the academy?"

The fat senior brother smiled and said no more.

Out of the lecture building, the senior brothers walked through the forest path, went around to the back of the lecture building, and then went forward.

When the sunlight arrived, it disappeared without a trace, and into my eyes was a huge cypress tree, green and straight, with branches and foliage covering the sky, and the highest point had reached the roof of the lecture building.

Its trunk is the size of a tower, and only more than ten people can hug it.

"This is the ancient tree of the academy, which was born here since the beginning of the establishment of the academy, and has gone through vicissitudes of life, accompanied by the ups and downs of my southern Xinjiang. ”

The fat senior brother also looked up like Cheng Xiaoxi, although he had seen this ancient tree countless times, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Cheng Xiaoxi stared intently, the ancient tree branches and leaves covered with spiritual power is rich, from time to time there are flocks of birds and butterflies flying leisurely, the scene is picturesque.

"Let's go, there is the library building in front of you, and the more powerful ones are still behind, so I'm sure you'll be even more amazed. ”

The fat senior brother woke up the senior brother who was full of emotion, and continued to walk forward.

Cheng Xiaoxi walked out of the range of the ancient tree, but his heart had not yet come out of the shock.

Until he came to the library......

There is a hundred zhang distance from the ancient tree, which is where the library building is located, saying that it is a building, but it is not a building.

It is also a cypress, but it is lower than the old tree, and its foliage is much sparser.

The root of the tree is engraved with the three big characters of 'Library Building', which is flowing through the clouds and flowing water, and enters the wood for three points.

What is even stranger is that there are countless boxes hanging on each of its branches, bound by ropes, hanging down to a height of three feet above the ground, and these boxes are afraid that there are no less than ten million.

It's dense and breathtaking!

"This is the library!"

Cheng Xiaoxi's heart was shocked, the towering ancient trees had never been seen before, and the spectacular scene in front of him was even more unimaginable.

"This is the library building, which stores all the books of the academy, including the tricks of tricks, the Divine Classics, the War Scripts, and so on, and your cultivation problems may be answered here. ”

Facing this library, Senior Brother Fat was much calmer than when he saw the ancient tree, he blew a stone on the ground, and then sat down on it.

"There are three taboo places in the academy, and they are not open on weekdays. One is the ancient tree, the second is the library building, and the third is the medicine garden I took you to. ”

Cheng Xiaoxi had doubts and asked, "Senior brother, can you take me to see this, is it because of Master?"

He felt that it must be because of his worship of the master that he had the qualifications to contact these forbidden places.

First, he followed his senior brother to the medicine garden, and saw the countless rare elixirs, as well as the place in the depths of the medicine garden that made him feel frightened and uncomfortable, and today he saw the towering ancient trees with rich spiritual power, as well as the strange cypress trees that were used by the academy to store books.

The fat senior brother looked at the junior brother's not very smart appearance, and said casually: "You think too much, becoming the old man's apprentice can only let you see the ancient tree and the library." ”

After a pause, he continued: "The Elixir Garden is the most important place in the entire southern Xinjiang, and only four people have been able to enter it so far, do you know which four people it is?"

Asking this question, Senior Brother Fat looked at him jokingly, Cheng Xiaoxi thought to himself for a while, and then said: "The lord of Southern Xinjiang will definitely be able to enter, and the dean of the academy will definitely be able to enter, and I don't know about the other two." ”

"Hahaha, don't tell others that you are my junior brother in the future. The fat senior brother couldn't help but laugh out loud after listening to his junior brother's analysis.

Cheng Xiaoxi thought about it for a while, he knew that the Lord of Southern Xinjiang and the Dean of the Academy would definitely be able to enter, but he still hadn't figured out who the other two were, and who else had such rights?

"Have you been in?"

At this time, the fat senior brother looked at him directly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and with a strange smile, Cheng Xiaoxi's brain was shocked, and he suddenly realized.

The two of them have only been in, doesn't it add up to exactly four people?

Looking at the senior brother who made him feel a little unreliable, Cheng Xiaoxi actually felt that the chubby figure of the senior brother had become taller at this time, and he had a strong interest in the identity of the senior brother.

"Okay! The road has also been found, and you have seen everything you should see, so let's go back, and if you want to read a book in the future, you can come here by yourself, and you want to go to the ancient tree to practice spiritual power. ”

The fat senior brother spit out a few words lightly, ending Cheng Xiaoxi's complex inner activities,

The two brothers and sisters were the same as when they came, one after the other, walking back and forth, but they were different from when they came, Cheng Xiaoxi had some other thoughts in his heart, some for Southern Xinjiang, some for the academy, and some for the senior brother.

Following behind the senior brother, looking at the fat body that was writhing around, Cheng Xiaoxi felt a little inexplicably cute for a while.

......

When the two of them returned to Fengyaju, it was already evening, and a strong wind blew outside the house, and the sky gradually darkened, and the black clouds covered the top, and after a while, the heavy rain poured down.
