Chapter 57: Exploring Alone
On this day, You Zhukong had just sent away Naga Zhirou, Zhu Cheng came out of the secret passage, and suddenly there was a knock at the door, and they hurriedly covered the stone slab and set the table straight, at this time Zhu Cheng was still covered with dust.
You Zhukong hurriedly asked, "Who!"
A crisp girl's voice sounded outside: "I'm Nalan Ruoshui, is Zhu Cheng there?"
When Zhu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly slapped the dust on his body, tidied up his clothes and hair, and then quickly lay down on the bed. You Zhukong delayed for a moment before slowly opening the door.
The lovely Nalan Ruoshui stood at the door, looked inside and said, "Hello classmate You Zhu, is Zhu Cheng here, he has been sick for several days!"
You Zhukong smiled and said, "He's here, your partner hasn't been in good health recently, he has a cold and cough!"
When Zhu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly coughed vigorously.
You Zhukong said again: "I still have a fever!"
Zhu Cheng hurriedly covered the quilt, pretending to be cold, shivering.
Nalan Ruoshui said with concern: "I'll come and see him!", You Zhukong had no choice but to dodge and let her in.
Nalan Ruoshui came to Zhu Cheng's bed, looked at him with concern and said, "Zhu Cheng! Zhu Cheng! It's me, Nalan Ruoshui, I've come to see you!"
Zhu Cheng pretended to be confused, slowly opened his eyes, deliberately lowered his voice, and said with difficulty: "Ruoshui!
Nalan Ruoshui frowned and said, "I'm so sick, why don't you go to the doctor, it's not okay to go on like this!"
When Zhu Cheng heard this, he saw that the school medical insurance was about to be exposed, and he hurriedly regained some of his spirit, raised his voice a little and said: "It's okay! I'll lie down for a few days, it's just not good to recover from this cold!"
Nalan Ruoshui glanced at You Zhukong, and said to Zhu Cheng: "He said that you have a fever! How can you die of a fever, you can't do it without taking medicine!", said and reached out to touch Zhu Cheng's forehead. (")
You Zhukong looked at it, touched his forehead, and hurriedly moved a chair and said, "Ruoshui-shang! Why are you just standing, please sit!
Nalan Ruoshui nodded, said thank you, sat down, and reached out to touch Zhu Cheng's forehead.
You Zhukong looked at it, his heart was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Ruoshui, let's eat some fruit!", he turned around and wanted to take something from the table, but found that the table was in a mess, except for a few fruit peels, where was there any fruit.
Nalan Ruoshui frowned slightly, looked at You Zhukong who was in a hurry, and said with a faint smile: "No need! You guys have something delicious in this dormitory!", said and turned to look at Zhu Cheng, and reached out to touch his forehead again.
You Zhukong Dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and suddenly said, "Ruoshui-san, I want to ask you a question!"
Nalan Ruoshui looked at You Zhukong with a puzzled face, thinking to himself I came to visit the patient, why do you always stir up?
You Zhukong took the pen and paper that he had just practiced writing, and said, "Ruoshui, I've been practicing writing recently, how do you write your name!
Nalan Ruoshui turned around and whispered to Zhu Cheng: "Why do I think it's him who is sick, not you?", Zhu Cheng heard this, and hurriedly coughed loudly a few times to hide his embarrassment.
Nalan Ruoshui looked at You Zhukong, then at Zhu Cheng, lowered his head and wrote his name on the table, and said softly: "That's it, can you write?"
You Zhukong just wanted to praise a few words, and suddenly found that next to the white paper, there was a map of the secret passage drawn by him and Zhu Cheng, which was densely packed with various marks, and Nalan Ruoshui was puzzled to look at the map.
You Zhukong hurriedly shouted: "Ah! Your handwriting is really good! Ruoshui, you will be my teacher in the future!", as he spoke, he took out a book, and came to Nalan Ruoshui like lightning, blocking the map below, and said at the same time: "There is still a paragraph I don't understand here, can you help me explain?"
Nalan Ruoshui looked at You Zhukong again suspiciously, then at Zhu Cheng, suddenly stretched out his hand, touched Zhu Cheng's forehead, and then frowned, and pinched Zhu Cheng's arm fiercely.
Zhu Cheng screamed miserably, jumped up from the bed, Nalan Ruoshui saw that Zhu Cheng was wearing a full set of clothes, with some dust on them, and suddenly stood up, and said, "What the hell are you two doing!" Zhu Cheng, what are you pretending to be sick for?"
The secret of the secret passage must not be revealed, Zhu Cheng had to carry it to the end, and hurriedly explained: "Haha! Ruoshui, don't be angry, I'll explain to you, in fact, my illness has just recovered, and my body is still relatively tired, so I want to be lazy for a few days!"
Nalan Ruoshui frowned, and said angrily: "You guy! People promise to be your double cultivation partner, how much risk you take, do you know? My brother is angry and ignores me, you, you are lazy here!", he grabbed Zhu Cheng's ears and dragged him to the classroom.
There were still five or six days left before the confinement ended, and You Zhukong saw that Zhu Cheng was gone, so he prepared to explore the secret passage alone to relieve his boredom.
He locked the doors and windows, took the pod fire staff, and went down the secret passage. The surrounding roads are already very familiar, and although they are in the dark, they are not too worried.
Soon he came to a long secret passage, which they had been here before, and had walked for a long time, and had not found the end, so they turned back halfway.
This time, You Zhukong decided to keep walking, wanting to see what lay ahead. The last time they were halfway there, they made a marker. You Zhukong walked all the way, but he never saw the mark, and after walking for a while, he suddenly found that a new layer had been shoveled off one of the walls, and the traces were new.
Seeing this trace, he immediately made You Zhukong stand upside down, could it be that there is someone in the cave? He hurriedly raised the pod fire staff, took out the dagger from his arms, and looked around.
The whole tunnel was silent, and there seemed to be no movement. You Zhukong was a little comforted in his heart, ready to move on, he took a step, and suddenly heard a footstep behind him, although the sound was not loud, but in the silent cave, it was extremely clear.
You Zhukong was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and shone his pod fire staff behind him, but there was nothing! He cautiously continued to move forward, and before he took a few steps, there was another sound of footsteps behind him, and he turned around again, still finding nothing.
You Zhukong felt goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly made two turns, but there was still no one.
Suddenly, he felt a gentle aura wave pass through his body, as if someone was emitting it from a long distance, You Zhukong had experienced this feeling last time in the Tibetan Scripture Water Pavilion and before he was found by Qiu Shuisheng.
He immediately leaned against the stone wall on one side, holding his breath as he extinguished the pod fire staff. In the darkness, he couldn't see with his eyes, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, and the dagger Rongya was across his chest.
Suddenly, as if something, Si Suo, flashed past him. You Zhukong hurriedly opened the pod fire staff, and at the same time waved the dagger in his hand, but there was still silence around him, and he vaguely felt that something seemed to be running towards the front of the tunnel, and lost its trace like lightning.
You Zhu was jumping in the hollow, and his breathing became short, but he was not so afraid, but instead held the dagger and continued to move forward. After a little more walking, the strange movement never appeared again.
Maybe it was some kind of crypt creature, but hopefully it wasn't some ferocious snail, and their lives would be in danger, so comforting himself, he kept going.
Finally, there was an intersection ahead, and Yuzuku secretly cheered as he finally made his way through the long tunnel and came to a new area. You Zhukong hurriedly took out a pen and paper, and made a mark and record.
Ready for a while, he chose a tunnel on the left side, continued to move forward, and walked for a while,
He saw a row of holes, leading in three directions. You Zhukong hesitated, chose the middle one, and after walking for a long time, he saw the exit.
He came to the bottom of the exit to see that it was still about four meters high, and he climbed up and stuck to the stone slab to listen carefully.
"You Zhukong hahahahahaha"
Suddenly hearing his name, You Zhukong was surprised, it must be a student of this school, and it was a woman's voice, could it be that he suddenly opened up, through the long tunnel, he had already come to the girls' dormitory area!
The boys' dormitory is located on the west side of the campus, and the girls' dormitory is located on the east side of the campus, separated by a wide central square.
And the more than 100 secret passages near his dormitory are actually all in the area of the men's dormitory, leading to every dormitory building, and the secret passages here must be leading to every dormitory building in the girls' dormitory.
This underground network is so huge, Taiming Academy is comparable to a city! You Zhukong's mind gradually emerged the hazy structure of this huge network, and the five bodies that he admired in his heart fell to the ground.
You Zhukong was secretly excited in his heart, he listened carefully for a while, it was several girls chattering, from time to time mentioning himself, Zhu Cheng and Qianqian, and then they all burst into laughter, sometimes mentioning Lei Mingtian, Nalan Gang and others, often accompanied by amazement and admiration.
He couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation clearly, and You Zhukong didn't bother to eavesdrop on other people's discussions, especially laughing at his own remarks.
You Zhukong was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered that there was a small animal that lived underground on campus, called the crypt snail, which was a bit like a mouse, which lived in places where there were humans and lived by stealing human food.
The crypt snail has thief eyebrows, and girls are most afraid of this kind of thing, just like the girls in their own world. You Zhu moved ethereally, imitating the crypt snail, and made a squeaky sound.
Soon the top quieted down, and several girls seemed to be listening, and You Zhukong continued to squeak, and the sounds came and went, as if a large group of crypt snails were coming, and the nest exploded on it immediately.
The screams of the girls, the sound of tables and chairs toppling over, the sound of bottles and cans being thrown around, the mess on top.
Dare to laugh at me, I am not easy to mess with, Master, You Zhukong smiled and continued to explore the secret passage.
Soon, he came to the exit of the secret passage on the right, and listened carefully, it was quiet, it seemed that there was no one, and he had an urge to push the stone slab, if there was no one in the room, he could pass through the secret passage guò, sneak out quietly, and regain his freedom.
You Zhukong was hesitating, and suddenly there was a sound of someone yawning from above, and then a girl stretched her waist and sighed for a long time, it seemed that someone was taking a lunch break. He was startled and quickly withdrew his straining hand.
