Chapter 43: Morning Encounter, He Fei Visits
Morning, Taoyuan Square.
Zhang Fan walked into the lobby, his expression somewhat dazed. Just after waking up, he noticed some abnormalities in his body. True Yang surged, but it was accompanied by Three Yin Qi, condensing at the soul-aspect of the mysterious pass.
In other words, last night, in his sleep, he seemed to have practiced the 【Northern Emperor Baleful Ghost Method】 and absorbed a large amount of Three Yin Qi.
"Can I practice while sleeping? Am I a genius!?" Zhang Fan muttered. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with himself, or rather, something was wrong with his soul-aspect, but he couldn't say exactly what the problem was.
"Ouch..."
Just then, Zhang Fan's body shook, as if he had bumped into something soft and warm. Immediately after, a cry of pain came over.
He looked down and saw a tall beauty in a tight skirt knocked to the ground by him, currently rubbing her long legs.
"I'm... I'm sorry... I was just distracted..."
Zhang Fan withdrew his gaze from her black stockings and hurried forward to help her up.
"It's okay... watch where you're going in the future, okay?"
The tall beauty stood up slowly with Zhang Fan's help, her voice sweet and gentle, with a natural nasal tone.
"If you bump into an old lady, you'll have to pay for it!"
"I'll pay attention next time!" Zhang Fan said awkwardly.
"Did you just graduate?" The beauty looked at Zhang Fan's appearance and asked casually.
"Just graduated from Dongda."
"You're also from Dongda?" The beauty's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan more.
"Is the senior sister also?" Zhang Fan pulled closer to each other, feeling that today was truly a wonderful day.
"My name is Wang Tiantian, and I also work in this building, two years older than you."
"My name is Zhang Fan!"
Zhang Fan looked at the hand Wang Tiantian took the initiative to extend, and shook it lightly. It was indeed warm and soft.
"You graduated from Dongda, have you ever drunk the meat soup of Grandma Tang at the South Gate?" Wang Tiantian smiled slightly and joked.
"Tang Popo's meat soup? Senior sister is really joking, I haven't drunk it, but I've heard of it." Zhang Fan laughed.
There is a legend on the Dongda campus that after ten o'clock at night, outside the South Gate, one might occasionally meet a small snack stall. The stall owner is an old woman, and everyone calls her Grandma Tang. She has nothing else to eat, just a large iron pot boiling fragrant soup.
Legend has it that if someone can meet Tang Popo and drink a bowl of her soup, unexpected good luck will happen.
Xiaomei was a junior student, very beautiful, with a melon-seed face, big eyes, and a red bean mole between her brows. Many people pursued her.
Later, she agreed to the pursuit of a senior and had a relationship. Who knew that after that, the senior began to distance himself from her, and even blocked all her contact information.
Xiaomei was very sad. After inquiring, she found out that the senior had a girlfriend, and she had been a third party without knowing it.
That day, when Xiaomei returned to school, it was already very late. When passing the South Gate, she suddenly smelled a fragrance.
Only then did she discover that outside the South Gate, there was an old woman pushing a broken cart, with a large iron pot stewing on it, the thick soup rolling inside, and she didn't know what she was cooking.
Xiaomei walked over to see that the old woman was wearing a gray long skirt, her hair was white, and her skin was as withered as dead wood.
It was just that the smell of the soup was too fragrant. Xiaomei couldn't help but order a bowl. She drank it in one gulp, feeling that the taste was special, different from any delicacy she had ever tasted. By the time she came to her senses and was ready to pay, that old woman was gone.
Xiaomei was suspicious and returned to the dormitory.
Five days later, her best friend told Xiaomei that the senior who had pursued her had been diagnosed with cancer, and even his girlfriend was extremely unlucky, encountering a car accident and breaking a leg.
Xiaomei was very happy when she heard it. Not long after, she fell in love again. It was a boy from the department, tall and handsome, and he was especially good to her. Her roommates were extremely envious. Xiaomei was proud in her heart. She guessed that perhaps it was because she had drunk Tang Popo's meat soup that night...
After all, everyone said that as long as someone could drink that bowl of soup, lucky things would happen...
But not long after, Xiaomei suddenly discovered that she didn't know when she started losing hair, and the remaining hair began to turn white. The most terrifying thing was that her skin was getting older and more withered day by day, just like dead wood in winter.
Not long after, Xiaomei dropped out of school, and no one knew what had happened to her.
Just like that, two months later, a female student returned to school at night and met an old woman at the South Gate, pushing a cart, with a large iron pot stewing soup on it. She was wearing a gray long skirt, her hair was sparse and white, and there was a red bean mole between her brows.
There are many legends on the Dongda campus, and Grandma Tang's meat soup is one of them.
Wang Tiantian said this, obviously also looking for resonance with Zhang Fan. As they spoke, the elevator began to rise.
"I haven't drunk Tang Popo's soup, but I have attended self-study in the A1 teaching building." Zhang Fan whispered.
"Ah? Then you have great guts." Wang Tiantian showed a look of surprise.
The A1 teaching building of Dongda is famous in the entire university town, but this reputation is a bit weird. Many seniors and senior sisters even talk about it with fear.
Even within Dongda, apart from classes during the day, almost no one would step into that building at other times. Even in the middle of summer, there was no air conditioning, not even a fan. People sitting there could feel bursts of chill, rushing straight to the back of the neck, as if someone were blowing cold air at them.
Some people say that the building is not clean, the Three Yin Qi is too heavy, and generally don't walk around in it after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Fan once heard a senior say that a girl in their department had a boyfriend from out of town. When he came to see her on the weekend, he missed the train. When he returned to school, it was too late. He happened to see the lights on in the building and thought about spending the night inside.
That night, the female student chatted with her boyfriend, and her boyfriend even praised the Dongda students for being so diligent, with so many people studying late at night.
At that time, the female student was stunned, because she knew that the A1 teaching building of the school would lock the building at five o'clock every day and would not be open to the public at all. Where were the students studying?
The female student immediately called to confirm, but no one answered. All night, her boyfriend never replied to any messages.
The next morning, the female student went to the A1 study room, but naturally, she didn't find anyone. The phone on the other side had become a blind tone.
Finally, it was naturally reported to the police and treated as a missing person.
Her boyfriend seemed to have evaporated from the world and was never found again. Later, the female student also became mentally dazed and even had hallucinations. Not long after, she dropped out of school, and their dormitory was all recommended for graduate school.
At that time, Zhang Fan had just enrolled, and this incident was spread widely, with various versions flying all over the sky, and the school came forward to suppress it.
Some people say that the female student herself had mental problems, and many things were her own imagination. Perhaps it was because her boyfriend went missing and she couldn't bear the blow, imagining these things.
Some people say that the building in A1 hides a study classroom, and every night after eleven o'clock, it is full of people, including the female student's boyfriend.
"I just enrolled and ran into this, how could I dare?" Zhang Fan laughed.
There are many horror legends on the Dongda campus, and the entire university town says that Dongda is haunted. Precisely because of this, many legends were fabricated out of thin air, and the truth could not be verified at all, making Dongda's reputation even weirder.
Just then, a young man with a cold and heroic face, dressed in a crisp suit, happened to walk out of Night-Bright. Little Wen He wore a professional smile as she saw him to the door.
"You know?"
"Well, that girl was my classmate... to be precise, my roommate." Wang Tiantian said.
"Ah?" Zhang Fan was stunned, unable to help but gossip: "I heard that your dormitory was recommended for graduate school collectively, is there such a thing?"
"This... hehe..." Wang Tiantian smiled sweetly: "I'll tell you something you know."
"What?"
"At that time, the school... privately found a Daoist priest to take a look." Wang Tiantian said solemnly.
"This..."
Zhang Fan curled his lips. Although he had already stepped into the cultivation world and knew that there were indeed many weird and supernatural things in this world, for ordinary people, the school is a place to teach and educate people, promote science and truth, and doing this kind of feudal superstition is really inappropriate.
The most critical thing is that if it spreads, the reputation will be bad, and public opinion will not be good to hear.
"Privately invited, I heard it was a friend of our department head..." Wang Tiantian said.
"Our department head once practiced in a meditation class on a Daoist famous mountain in his early years and knows many Daoist priests."
"Meditation class!?" Zhang Fan's expression became strange.
He was too familiar with this business. The discounted price was 5888 yuan. You know, the person who recommended this course to him was the Zhenwu Mountain headmaster Chu Chaoran, a living True Person in the world today...
If this spreads, he could blow this cow for generations.
"I heard that the Daoist priest had some real skills, and our department head spent a lot of effort to invite him..."
"Maoshan Daoist priest?" Zhang Fan asked subconsciously.
In the territory of Jiangnan Province, the most famous are the Maoshan Daoist priests.
"No..." Wang Tiantian shook her head: "That Daoist priest said he came from Zhenwu Mountain, Zhenwu Mountain in Jiangbei Province..."
