Chapter 42: There is a secret in the Thousand Illusion Realm
The distance from the Mengdie Courtyard to the Fataka Campus is quite long.
The Thousand Illusions Academy, including the students and the fatwa, plus all kinds of other miscellaneous staff, has already exceeded 10,000 people. Walking through it under the moonlit night, the huge academy is like a huge palace standing in the starry sky. If you weren't in the middle of it, it would be hard to feel that kind of shocking beauty.
Zhuang Ming strolls along a path with yards on both sides. Most of these courtyards have been lit up. When night falls, it is also the time when people's minds are at their quietest, and cultivators are also willing to use this time to sort out their feelings for the day, meditate, and cultivate.
Occasionally, there are people walking by the side of Zhuang Ming, or strolling leisurely, or hurrying.
After about half an hour, Zhuang Ming came to the end of a path, and he turned a corner and entered the Akademiya.
Different from the ordinary student dormitory, the Fataka dormitory is much larger, and the courtyard is also made of stone, and the outer layer is painted with white paint, which is consistent with the style of the entire Thousand Illusions Academy.
Zhuang Ming followed his memory to the door of a courtyard, he had been here, so he remembered that this was Miss Cher's home.
"Bumper!" Zhuang Ming tidied up his clothes, and after tidying up, he grabbed the door knocker and knocked lightly twice.
There was no reflection in the courtyard, and Zhuang Ming waited for a while.
"Bump, bump!"
The dealer knocked twice again.
"Squeak!"
The door was divided into two sides, and Zhao Xueer appeared in front of Zhuang Ming.
Dressed in a white dress, fresh and natural, she stood behind the door, and after seeing the name of the village, she was obviously a little happy.
"I guess it's you, come in. Zhao Xue'er smiled and pulled Zhuang Ming closer to the courtyard.
"I'm worried that you won't come, and I'm going to look for you in the dormitory. Zhao Xue'er closed the courtyard door, turned around, and said to Zhuang Ming with a smile.
Zhuang Ming smiled and said: "Why don't you come, I keep my stomach and wait to come to your house for a big meal!"
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you eat happily today...... Let's go, drink a little bit first, and the meal will be ready in no time. Zhao Xue'er looked at him with a smile and took him to the living room.
"Aunt Xu is cooking, why don't I help?" Zhuang Ming saw that Aunt Xu was busy in the kitchen, so he wanted to help.
Zhao Xue'er shook her head, looked at him with a smile and said, "The meal will be ready soon, where do you need your help, you are a guest, just sit and drink tea peacefully." ”
Zhuang Ming smiled and nodded, indeed, no matter what, he saved this family, whether it was Aunt Xu or the Xue'er girl in front of him, I am afraid that they all want to repay the favor, although they don't care, but they definitely won't care.
He could refuse, but it would only make the mother and daughter linger, which was not his original intention.
Thinking about this, Zhuang Ming was no longer restrained, he picked up the teacup, took a sip in his mouth, the tea was pleasant, there was some bitterness in the mouth, after swallowing, there was a lingering fragrance constantly brewing in the throat.
It's good tea.
Zhuang Ming is a very traditional person, in the previous life did not like to drink those kinds of drinks, but for tea and wine is particularly fond of drinking, usually when there is nothing to do, Zhuang Ming's wife will always make him a pot of hot tea, and he leisurely read a book, write a word, this is one of his past life, not many hobbies.
"It's really good tea!" Zhuang Ming put down the teacup and couldn't help but admire.
"Brother Zhuang likes it, this tea is still left by my father when he was there, my father took the trouble to find someone from other places to ask for it, and when Brother Zhuang left, I will pack some for Brother Zhuang to go back." Xue'er smiled at Zhuang Ming and said.
"Since it was left by Ling Zun, and it is so precious, I will forget it, if I really want to drink, I will definitely come to visit. ”
"What Brother Zhuang said, if it weren't for Brother Zhuang, my family wouldn't know what would have become, just a little tea, so don't shirk it. ”
Xue'er looked at Zhuang Ming and sighed: "Brother Zhuang saved me, no matter how much Brother Zhuang doesn't care, but I know it myself, I don't say anything nonsense to repay my kindness, I just hope that Brother Zhuang can think more about me when he encounters difficulties in the future, but if I can do it, I will do my best." ”
Xue'er got up and saluted Zhuang Ming, Zhuang Ming wanted to help, but seeing her firm expression, she remembered that in the snowy field, the girl who refused to give up, sighed, and stopped stopping.
"The name of the dealer is here. ”
At this moment, Aunt Xu walked in with the dishes,
"I've made a few dishes tonight, try them to see if they suit your taste, and in the future, don't make them yourself or go out to eat, just eat here." ”
"This ......"
"Okay, it's just a mouthful of rice, for us, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, and you have to trouble yourself by default" Aunt Xu looked at Zhuang Ming with a smile, looking very close. Zhuang Ming felt bad and refused.
"Then it's troublesome Aunt Xu. Zhuang Ming nodded and agreed.
Soon, Aunt Xu and Xue'er smiled and brought the meals to the table.
Zhuang's mother made five dishes and one soup tonight, which was not sumptuous, but mostly home-cooked side dishes. Speaking of which, he hasn't eaten yet.
"Taste this. Aunt Xu saw a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhuang Ming's bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt Xu. Zhuang Ming didn't refuse, and put it in his mouth.
"You eat first, and when you're done, I'll tell you something. "Aunt Xu gave the name of the village another dish.
Zhuang Ming nodded when he heard this, and he didn't talk nonsense, and buried himself in his meal.
It didn't take long for Cher to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"Today, you should already know that our Chiba City has a big secret hidden, and this secret is even the big forces in Lianzhou, and they have sent heirs to our Thousand Illusion Academy, just for a quota. Aunt Xu finally spoke, but to Zhuang Ming's surprise, what she said was actually what the dean said about the shocking secret.
Zhuang Ming nodded.
This incident really made him extremely curious.
"You have to work hard as soon as possible, you must enter the upper house, this secret is a rare opportunity for your young generation in a thousand years, this opportunity is enough to change your life!" Aunt Xu looked at him solemnly.
"What is this secret?" Zhuang Ming couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Xu shook her head and said: "I can't tell you now, knowing in advance is not a good thing for you, this secret has been hidden in my heart for ten years, and Xue'er's father paid for it back then." I've always kept it in my heart, in the Thousand Illusions Academy, except for me, only the dean knows about it. But he didn't know that I knew the secret. ”
Aunt Xu sighed: "There are things related to this secret hidden in the Thousand Illusion Realm, you must enter the upper courtyard and get that thing, as long as you get that thing, you can grasp the opportunity." ”
Zhuang Mingyan had more doubts in his heart, but he saw that Aunt Xu's interest was getting worse and worse, so he stopped asking, and after saying goodbye, he returned to the Mengdie Courtyard.
At this time, the night was dark, and Zhuang Ming returned to the entrance of the courtyard, but found a person who had fallen into a deep pit in the courtyard.
