Chapter 19: The Old Man
Back and forth, it was most of the day, the two brothers were a little hungry, Cheng Xiaoxi didn't know how to cook and cook, and the fat brother consciously became a cook.
It didn't help much, so Cheng Xiaoxi went back to the room and lay down to rest, chewing a freshly picked elixir in his mouth, pillowing his head with his hands, and thinking about psychic things again.
"I won't go anywhere tomorrow, just practice him for a day, and I won't believe it yet. He swallowed the elixir in a few bites, but the spiritual power in the medicine was not absorbed by him at all, and as soon as it entered his stomach, it came out of his body and dissipated without a trace.
When Cheng Xiaoxi was about to fall asleep, the fat senior brother finally made it, two dishes and one soup, which looked very delicious.
The age difference between the brothers and sisters is only two years, and it is the first time they are at the same table, and both of them have some indescribable feelings in their hearts.
"I'll tell you the truth, senior brother has practiced this craft, you are lucky, even if the old man comes on weekdays, he will never be able to eat the food I cooked. ”
The fat senior brother praised himself while eating non-stop.
Cheng Xiaoxi also hurriedly picked up the bamboo chopsticks, looking at the posture of the senior brother, I was afraid that if I waited a little longer, he would be eaten by him alone.
The cooking skills are really good, the food is good in color and aroma, and it makes people have a great appetite, Cheng Xiaoxi tasted it, and immediately gave a thumbs up.
......
After the meal, the senior brother began to study those strange things again, leaving Cheng Xiaoxi to sit in the courtyard in a daze.
He's reminiscing about the experiences of these days.
In just a few days, he has a grandfather, grandmother and uncle who care for him, and with a chubby master and a chubby brother, life is really wonderful......
It's just that he still doesn't have a clue about the matter of cultivation, and he really doesn't know how to accept the spirit into the body.
"Otherwise, I'll take you to the library to have a look?"
Looking at the junior brother who was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, with a sad face, the fat senior brother put down the wooden hammer in his hand, and there was no good way for a while.
He suddenly remembered that there were thousands of books in the academy, and perhaps some of them were about Na Ling into the body, so he decided to let his junior brother try his luck in the library.
As the old man's apprentice, except for being unimpeded in the academy and not being bound by the rules of the academy, you can only rely on yourself for everything.
Whether it's a cultivation problem, or a cultivation resource, or a spell or something. From choice to cultivation, it is all self-taught, and the old man will not provide you with any help.
Even if you make a mistake in cultivation, he will only tell you that this is your own path.
Fortunately, I didn't choose this path of cultivation, otherwise I might have been as distressed as my junior brother.
Naturally smart!
Senior Brother Fat looked happy, and said, "Let's go, by the way, I will also familiarize you with the layout of the academy, so that you won't be able to tell the direction in the future." ”
There's no better way to do it anyway, so it's good to go out and relax.
Cheng Xiaoxi has long wanted to see what kind of charm and uniqueness the place that can be ranked with Wuling Academy in the world.
"There are two buildings in the academy, one is used for students to learn and enlighten, and the other is used to collect magic and knowledge......"
On the way, Senior Brother Fat kept telling Xiaoxi about the history and current situation of the academy, and Cheng Xiaoxi listened attentively and learned more and more about this place.
"This road leads to the lecture building, and you will be able to meet the students of the academy in a while. ”
The road, seven or eight paces wide, has large patches of flowers and plants on both sides, stretching to the end of the line of sight.
After a while, buildings began to appear on both sides of the road, which turned out to be student dormitories made of brick and wood, one after the other, in a regular manner.
The walls of the house are painted white, and the roof is covered with blue-gray tiles, which looks simple and atmospheric, and there are students coming in and out from time to time, wearing student uniforms issued by the college.
Cheng Xiaoxi raised his eyes and looked at it, just in front of him, I am afraid that there are no less than a hundred, which shows how many students there are in the academy, no wonder it can be famous all over the world, and it is even more unusual to come to the Wuling Academy!
"This is where ordinary students live......"
The two brothers continued to walk forward, and the students along the way waited in place, letting the two go first, it seems that the senior brother is very famous in this academy.
After walking for another half a moment, I finally got out of the student residence, and the road under my feet became wider.
Cheng Xiaoxi saw a tall building standing in front of him from a distance, and the sound of chanting came out in the middle, which was deep and incomprehensible.
The trees are too luxuriant, and when you get closer, you can see the whole picture of the building.
It's just that the majestic and majestic are not enough to describe it, and standing in front of it, it is so insignificant, like an ant.
The jungle of southern Xinjiang covers the sky, the forest resources are extremely rich, this building is all built of wood, the beams and vertical walls are all wood, the dragon is carved and the phoenix is painted, the beams are repaired and the pavilion is decorated, only the atmosphere is magnificent. There are dozens of lecture rooms on the first floor alone, and voices come from time to time inside, telling about the method of cultivation, the wild news of the mainland, the way of soldiers, and so on......
"This is the lecture building, don't be so surprised, I'll take you to see my house another day, my house is much bigger than this. The fat senior brother took out a spirit fruit like a trick, wiped it on his sleeve casually, and walked over with his head held high while eating.
Looking at the senior brother's focused gaze, the fat senior brother reminded him: "These students have to come here every day to complete their homework, and the teachers will preach according to their own situation, in the final analysis, it is the matter of heaven rewarding diligence and qualifications, but you don't have to listen, these things are useless to us." ”
Cheng Xiaoxi came back to his senses, followed his senior brother into the corridor, and went up three floors in a row.
At this time, the voice of preaching and preaching in Cheng Xiaoxi's ears was connected, like thunder filling his ears, and he was a little dizzy, and suddenly the senior brother stopped, Cheng Xiaoxi didn't notice it, and hit his head in the back of the senior brother.
This fat is indeed good, at least it doesn't hurt very much, uh, not only does it not hurt much, but it was also bounced back, and he hurriedly stabilized the handrail to keep his body balanced.
I saw a middle-aged man walking down the stairs, wearing a splendid costume, extremely flamboyant, not very tall, but giving people a very majestic feeling.
At this time, the man passed in front of Cheng Xiaoxi and the others, his eyes first stopped on the senior brother, and then when he passed by Cheng Xiaoxi, he let out a "huh", stopped, and frowned as if thinking.
The fat senior brother ignored the man and continued to walk upstairs, Cheng Xiaoxi hurriedly followed, and when he got to the corner and looked back again, he saw that the man was still looking at him.
The two continued to go up, not remembering how many floors they had gone up, the fat senior brother turned into a room, and Cheng Xiaoxi followed in.
The room was small and decorated with a simple interior, with only a willow table, four willow stools, a round-spout teapot on the table, and a few wide-mouthed cups around it.
The fat senior brother pulled a stool and sat down, and Cheng Xiaoxi stood behind the senior brother, still thinking about the strange middle-aged man in the corridor.
"Here we go......"
An old voice suddenly sounded, and Xiaoxi noticed that there were people in the house.
This is an old man, with thinning hair, a face with a crushed face, a snow-white beard hanging down to his chest, tall and thin, sitting on the other side of the table, like the middle-aged man he met in the hallway, and his gaze has been fixed on the stream.
The old man looked quite old and not very good in spirit, he first stared at Cheng Xiaoxi for a while, and then said slowly: "Young man, do you know that in the past few decades, you have become a family and have taken care of me in the southern Xinjiang Wanze, that is quite caring!"
Cheng Xiaoxi had never heard his father talk about family affairs, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart, and when he heard the meaning of the words, he said very normally: "Sir, I grew up in Longquan Mountain, and I don't know much about family affairs. ”
He didn't expect Cheng Xiaoxi to answer so lightly, so that the old man's emotions suddenly lost control, he stood up angrily, and looked into Cheng Xiaoxi's eyes with burning eyes, as if to find something in his eyes?
After a few breaths, the three of them did not speak, and the old man seemed to be tired of standing, and sat back down, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "That's it! ”
After saying this, it was as if he had lost his soul, his eyes were closed, and he did not breathe, as if he had died.
"Can you hurry?"
I haven't entered the topic for a long time, and the fat senior brother is a little impatient, and he will take the junior brother to the library later, how can he delay here.
