Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 95 The Master
So Zhou Xun held the lantern in one hand and the soft ladder in the other, stepping on the knotted ladder with both feet, and went down slowly.

This lantern is yellow, but after a long time, the color has faded, and now it is a bit whitish, and the light yellow light shines on the wall of the well.

There is no moss and water plants on the well wall. Obviously, it was a dry well before. There was no water at all, and the dry well wall was rough to the touch.

"Strange, this well, even if it's a dry well, shouldn't be so dry? It's too clean, there's no moisture at all! Logically speaking, such a relatively dark place is usually a little humid, with a little moisture gathering, why is it so dry?"

Zhou Xun was a little bit heartbroken, and all kinds of indescribable stories were recalled in his mind.

However, it was already halfway down, he hesitated, looked down, and continued to climb down.

The bottom of the well is here, not too deep, just as he guessed just now.

At this time, the light of the lantern also shines on the bottom of the well.

The texture under your feet is sand?

Looking down, it was all yellow sand.

Looking around again, there is nothing, except for an iron chain on the wall of the well.

Zhou Xun stepped forward to take a look.

A small silvery white fish lay dying on the sandy soil. The thin and long iron rope pierced through its gills and locked it at the bottom of the well.

Putting the lantern close to the silvery white fish, Zhou Xun watched it carefully.

The whole body of this fish is silvery white, with a very short beard, but it is as big as a palm, which happens to be a little longer than Zhou Xun's right palm.

This might be a special loach.

The strange thing is that there is no water at all here, and the fish is slightly undulating, and it doesn't look like it is dying of thirst.

"Isn't this what Dad brought back from the Dragon Palace? A small fish?"

Zhou Xun thought to himself.

He didn't intend to reach out, who knows if this fish has become a zombie fish?

After looking at it for a while, the fish didn't change much, it still opened and closed its lips slightly, looking half dead.

"This fish is very weird. I'd better go back and ask my father what he said. It's right next to the ancestral hall. This time he can't evade and say he doesn't know."

The candle itself in the lantern was only a small knot, half melted by now.

Seeing that the time was not short, Zhou Xun quickly grabbed the ladder and climbed up.

After a while, someone will find out that he is not there, and it will be difficult to explain at that time.

He slowly climbed up with the lantern in hand, but accidentally dropped the torch and landed at the bottom of the well, making a little noise.

Behind, that limp silver fish quietly opened its eyes...

When I came up, the candle in the lantern just melted. It was a small piece of candle that was used and discarded, and it finally died.

Zhou Xun pulled out the borehole, landed on the ground, patted his body, turned his head and patted his back.

"You can't get this dress dirty, hey, where's my fire bag?"

His fire folder has fluff and special grease on it. It can be ignited by rubbing lightly, and can be put back when it is finished. The design is ingenious and it is not easy to be destroyed.

Zhou Xun likes this gadget very much. Usually, a few boys make a fire outside by themselves, grill sweet potatoes and potatoes, and shoot birds with a slingshot and roast them, not to mention how delicious they are.

"Oops, it's fallen. It must be in the well. I have to go down again later."

At this time, Zhou Xun didn't have time to go down again, he vaguely heard someone calling him.

He quickly ran into the storeroom, put the lantern back where it was, and ran into the ancestral hall, obediently took out a stick of incense, and lit it with the candle in the main room of the ancestral hall.

Then, in order to be realistic, Zhou Xun leaned over again, puffed up his cheeks, and blew hard, so that the cigarettes curled up and filled the vicinity of the ancestral hall.

"Ahem, that's about it!"

Unexpectedly, he choked on the smoke twice, and Zhou Xun was satisfied to see that the head of the incense burnt, which looked like it had been burning for a long time.

Then, on the big incense burner, plug it in and make it look like paying homage to the ancestors.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside.

A young man ran over and was overjoyed to see Zhou Xun.

"Master, hurry up, the master is here, waiting for you?"

Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming.

This person is his usual servant, and the boy who follows him is named Liu San. Three generations of the family have been in the Zhou family, and it is a typical family.

"Which master?"

That Liu San replied.

"It's Xun or Master Xun who taught the scriptures!"

The literary style of the Zhou family is very prosperous, and some ancestors also passed the imperial examination, and they had a good reputation in the imperial examination. Zhou Gui was even more famous for his literature. He has long been regarded as the home of local scholars. Good wife.

Some teach poetry, some teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some teach the Four Books and Five Classics...
Anyway, as long as there is a bit of literati stuff, Zhou Xun can basically learn it.

According to Zhou Gui's words, "I don't ask you to be proficient in everything, at least others are talking about it. You can't be ignorant and lose face to my Zhou family!".

But those masters teach some basic things. After all, nine-year-old children are still cultivating their interests, so they can't play this seriously. The imperial examination is the most important thing.

As for practicing martial arts... this is the teacher Zhou Gui hired as a last resort after Zhou Xun pestered Zhou Gui to go to the mountains to practice Taoism.

Originally a veteran in the army, he had been a corps leader and had achieved success in martial arts training. He could lift a heavy stone mill with both hands, and wield half a stick of incense as a weapon.

Of course, he taught Zhou Xun how to practice martial arts, but it was just a deputy, and the main job was to train servants and nurses.

These days are not stable, there are not thirty or fifty servants in the family who can fight and can't sleep at all.

Xun or Master Xun who taught the scriptures is different. He has a deep study of the scriptures and he is also a scholar. If it weren't for Zhou Gui's friendship, it would be impossible for him to condescend to give lectures to a half-child.

Xun Fuzi is old, fifty years old, and what he is best at in his life is studying the scriptures.

Hearing that Master Xun was coming, Zhou Xun hurriedly trotted over to the main hall.

"Young master, be careful, the master is going to ask a question!"

When Zhou Xun rushed to the main hall where the guests were received, Zhou Gui and Xun Or were already drinking tea.

Zhou Xun came to the door out of breath, and first tidied up his appearance so as not to be disrespectful to the teacher. This is a serious crime.

Then, with his head held high, he strode into the hall.

"Disciple Zhou Xun pays homage to Master!"

At the head is a deep bow and salute. This teacher of Jingyi is different from others. He does not belong to miscellaneous studies.

　Xinye Daojun's book friend groups are 3, 0, 6, 1, 9, 7, 1, 0, 6. When adding a group, just indicate the name of the novel.
