Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 94 Dry Well
Zhou Xun ran out of the house and wandered around the mansion, picking some flowers and leaves from time to time, and playing with them casually.

Usually, he always rummages around in the house, and the servants are not surprised, they just make way for him with a smile.

The nine-year-old boy has already entered school and has learned a lot of books. Tongsheng is actually just talking nicely, but he has obtained the qualification to be recommended to take the Tongsheng examination.

The number of Tongsheng in Daxia is more than a million, and every scholar is a Tongsheng.

There are three examinations for children's students, the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination. Only those who pass the three examinations are students, that is, scholars in the true sense.

After passing the Tongsheng Examination, you are a student, also known as a scholar. At this time, you will enter a college to study. There are three colleges: county school, prefectural school, and state school.

Only those who have passed monthly exams, annual exams, and many other exams in the college, and have no blemishes on their character, will be given the opportunity to take the provincial exam.

Inside the academy, they have actually gone through a series of assessments and screenings. The usual attendance and performance are included in the final comprehensive score. Those who can finally get the chance to participate in the provincial examination are the top-notch students in the academy.

Now Zhou Xun didn't even take the county test, so he couldn't even think about it.

He poked his head into the backyard, then turned around, but no one noticed him.

"There's no one in the backyard, so I just went in this time to have a look. Normally my father wouldn't let me into the ancestral hall. This time I decided to go and have a look."

The cotton shoes with layered soles made no sound when they stepped on the gravel road. Zhou Xun slipped into the backyard as he trotted all the way.

The backyard is not inhabited by people. Usually there will be someone to clean and take care of it. The ancestral gods are placed neatly. There are not many, just seven or eight. The generations of the Zhou family are not prosperous, and they are all passed down in one line. Therefore, there are very few tablets of gods enshrined.

In fact, families with a history start to enshrine from their entrepreneurial ancestors.The reason why the Zhou family enshrined three generations back and did not directly enshrine ancestors was because the family was scattered during the war in the previous dynasty, and the current line of the Zhou family in Yuchuzhuang has been separated from it.

Zhou Xun walked in the ancestral hall with ease, it was not big, it was just a secluded courtyard, and Zhou Xun would follow him in to look at it when offering sacrifices to ancestors during festivals.

First of all, he bowed his hands to the ancestral tablet. Zhou Xun probably didn’t dare to be presumptuous here. His grandparents, grandparents, and even ancestors were all here. The wooden tablets were written with names and taboos. shabby.

However, there is no way to do this. It has only been 60 years since the founding of the Great Xia, and there are still occasional turmoil in the local area, not to mention the time of the ancestors. How can I have enough money to care about this? It is just a simple wooden sign to deal with it.

Zhou Xun walked around the ancestral hall for a while, but there was nothing new about it.

"It's exactly the same as the last time I came..."

The ground is also very clean, and there is a special person responsible for cleaning and cleaning this area every day, so there will be no "surprises" at all.

"Didn't you say that there will be treasures in the ancestral hall! Brother Ning is a big liar, look back and I will fix him!"

Zhou Xun waved his small fist bitterly.

Brother Ning is his classmate in the private school, and he is a little close to his family. His surname is Ning Rui, he is his cousin, and he is of the same family as his mother, and he usually has some contacts. They are all in an old master's enlightenment private school nearby. read.

This time Zhou Xun ran over to look for the ancestral hall. After listening to Brother Ning's "bewitching", he felt that there must be some terrible secret hidden in his house. Who knows how clean it looks like.

"No reason, I have searched all over the house, and it is said that there is nothing missing..."

"Dad went to the Dragon Palace back then, so he had to bring something back. Where did he hide it?"

Zhou Xun believes that there is something hidden in his home. He has heard stories about his father since he was a child.

The Dragon King of Qinghe hosted a banquet to entertain talented people in the world, and his father was one of the more than 700 people.

Although the father has always claimed that he was sitting at the last seat, and he was just there to make up the number, most of the others thought that was the case—the Dragon King of Qinghe almost invited all the literati with a little reputation. At that time, Zhou Gui was just a The student, fortunately, a few poems were heard by the people of the Dragon Palace, and they simply added them with a swipe of a pen. This is also very possible, and he is not alone.

Although this is the case according to common sense, Zhou Xun always feels that his father is hiding something.

"Dad, didn't he really bring back the dragon girl, right? She hasn't been seen all these years... Could it be that she was kept in a well?"

Zhou Xun suddenly thought of one thing, that is, there seems to be a well on the side of the ancestral hall, and no one usually draws water here.

Zhou Xun couldn't help being suspicious.

"Dad is really sorry for mother? Can't you? But no matter how you look at it, this well is a little redundant?"

Generally, one well is enough for a family, but this house covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, which is considered a remarkable big house in this small place, so naturally there are spares, and with this, there are three wells.

"The other two wells are useful, but there are none here, and wells are still being drilled in such a remote place..."

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Zhou Xun slowly moved to the edge of the well, and looked down while pawing at the edge of the well made of bricks and stones.

It was pitch black, and there was nothing.

Bend down, pick up a small stone nearby, and throw it in.

Heard a little sound, like falling on muddy ground, but did not hear the sound of water.

"Dry well?"

Zhou Xun was really surprised this time!
What kind of territory is this?
Yuchuzhuang, Jiangnan, near Qinghe!The climate is humid and the rainfall is abundant!
How could there be a dry well here?

During the rainy season here, the well water rises, less than one foot above the ground!
"It seems that the father did not bring back the dragon girl..."

Zhou Xun was a little disappointed.

Naturally, a dry well cannot live in a dragon, even if it is just a dragon girl.

Dragons can be big or small, and they can make wind and rain. Wherever they are, there must be water.

Even if there were none before, there will gradually be, and lakes and rivers will naturally form.

In other words, without water, nature would not be a dragon's dwelling.

The dry well doesn't seem too deep, at least you can hear the echo when you throw pebbles down.

Zhou Xun ran back to the ancestral hall, found the fire pocket, wiped it skillfully, and lit the flame.

Then, he rummaged through the warehouse next to him and found an old lantern, and lit it.

"I want to see, why is there no water in this well?"

A strong desire to explore inspired him.

"Maybe Dad really brought something good from the Dragon Palace and hid it in this well."

There is actually a soft ladder on the wall of the well, and each section is tightly fastened to the nails on the wall of the well, so you can easily go down along this.

Zhou Xun didn't see the ladder just now, maybe he didn't pay attention?
"Strange, there was no such ladder just now, how come there is an extra ladder after leaving for a short while?"

"Perhaps it's the trick that Dad used to hide things?"

Zhou Xun was very excited. When a nine-year-old child discovered an adult's secret, he felt a sense of pride.
