There is a concealment talisman attached to Zhang Yin's body, which was made by the elder Qi Xuanmen and was used by An Zi to escape.
The rain was falling continuously. Zhang Yin was walking in the vast rainy night, bypassing a mountain covered with jungle. Suddenly his heart moved and he hid in a crevice of a stone. He suppressed his breathing and seemed to be able to only listen to his heartbeat.
Soon, two figures jumped over, followed by several people, all with murderous intent, and even some kind of ripples swept across, making Zhang Yin feel chilled.
However, the concealment talisman seemed to be good, so he didn't notice it. Zhang Yin waited patiently for a while, and when no one came back, he got up and ran in another direction.
At the bottom of the mountain, a bird started to fly in the reeds of a small lake. Zhang Yin stopped and several people came out. Seeing Zhang Yin appear, one person stepped forward.
Zhang Yin quickly stepped forward and bowed down: "Elder Xu, fortunately you have fulfilled your destiny. I have taken the life lamp."
Seeing the three life lamps, Elder Xu smiled, patted Zhang Yin on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, you have accomplished a great feat. As long as you return to the door, you can be promoted to the direct successor."
Hearing this, Zhang Yin was delighted and said quickly: "Thank you, elder."
At this time, Elder Xu felt something, and his smile faded: "The formation on the mountain has moved. Quickly clear the traces and retreat."
Several Taoists cleaned up and quickly turned and left.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Yu Yunjun appeared here, looking at the reeds with a solemn expression. There seemed to be a danger in it.
At this time, Chen Zhongyu's master, Elder Chen, also came over and followed Yu Yunjun. He looked at the jungle in front of him, his face was livid, and he said bitterly: "This traitor!"
Chen Zhongyu and Zhang Yin were both disciples of this man, but Chen Zhongyu was his son, so he was different.
"There seems to be danger in this reed." Yu Yunjun said.
"You will know after you try it." Elder Chen stretched out his finger, and a spot in the reed exploded, bursting into flames in the rain. Looking at this situation, Mr. Yu Yun looked solemn and sighed: "There may be an ambush in the forest. It’s not necessarily that we can’t catch up.”
Listening to these words, a cold light flashed in Elder Chen's eyes: "Damn it, it seems we have to be prepared."
Jingqiao County
There was a cool breeze, the river flowed slowly, the continuous walls were covered with green moss, and the streets were a little dark. Pei Ziyun walked slowly, thinking in his heart: "It seems to be here, Jingqiao County's Horn Lane."
Before he finished his thoughts, he suddenly saw a girl coming in front of him. Her dress looked simple and had many patches, but she was starched and clean, and her facial features were exquisite. When the girl saw Pei Ziyun, she became a little wary and slowed down her pace. , and when he passed by, he walked out quickly.
"Is it her?" Pei Ziyun became a ghost, and gradually developed the ability to act on a whim. As soon as he saw her, he thought about it and wanted to shout. The girl was suddenly stopped at the entrance of the alley.
A man who looked like a gangster pressed the girl and asked her to step back step by step. The man glanced at Pei Ziyun and felt that the weak scholar was not a problem at all, so he shouted: "Hand over the money!"
"No!" the girl begged: "You can't rob me, I just became the hairpin given by my mother to buy medicine for my brother to save his life, you don't rob me..."
She gradually choked up as she spoke, but the gangster was unmoved. He stepped forward and covered the girl's mouth to prevent the girl from making a sound. The girl was about to struggle when the gangster took out a knife. The girl was stunned. The gangster moved towards the girl's arms. As soon as I was shopping, I took out a lot of money and a box, turned around and ran.
"No, you can't rob me of my money. It's money for my brother's medical treatment." The girl shouted loudly and chased her. Tears splashed out and she cried: "No! Give me the money back quickly. This is my brother's life-saving gift." money… "
The girl ran too fast and stumbled to the ground. She wanted to get up and continue chasing. The gangster almost disappeared at the entrance of the alley, and she screamed: "No, no!"
The gangster was about to run out of the alley when Pei Ziyun suddenly appeared at the entrance. The gangster had no time to think about why the scholar behind him suddenly appeared in front of him, threateningly waving a knife: "Get out of here, or I will stab you."
Pei Ziyun just stretched out his finger a little, but it was very slow, but the ruffian couldn't avoid it. He groaned and fell out. Then he tried to get up. He looked down with a pair of dark eyes and asked, "Who sent you here? "
The ruffian trembled, his expression a little dull: "It was Zhen Baozhai on the street who asked me to come, saying that I robbed the money and asked her to pawn the jade pendant, but I was a little greedy and robbed the jade pendant too."
"Jade pendant?" Pei Ziyun just took out the money and the box that fell on the ground. As soon as he touched them, he knew that there was indeed sustenance inside, but a trace of resistance made him know that the jade pendant had an owner.
Pei Ziyun handed it to the girl, who took it, relaxed a little, and thanked her quickly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
Pei Ziyun only glanced at it, saw the girl's tears, and said, "What kind of difficulties does the girl have? From what the gangster said just now, she must have pawned something and was targeted by the pawnshop."
The girl choked with sobs: "My brother is sick. I went to the pawn shop to prepare a gold hairpin and a jade pendant given by my mother."
"My family used to say that my mother was an official. This is a dowry. My mother said that the gold hairpin is worth five taels of silver and the jade pendant is also worth ten taels, but the pawnshop only charges three taels."
"I didn't want to sell it. I pawned it for my brother and gave it to Gui Gui. I was targeted because I didn't want to." The girl gradually stopped choking and thought about the matter clearly.
Pei Ziyun looked at it and sighed, then kicked the gangster, making him unconscious. However, he didn't kill anyone. The gangster was still guilty of death. He said, "That's all. Go and see a doctor for your brother first!"
After a pause, he added: "You are a little girl, it is really inconvenient, I will go to the pharmacy with you."
The girl quickly thanked him and went to the hospital.
The doctor at the medical center was around fifty, and he looked very sincere. When he saw him, he said, "Miss Fu, you are here again. Your brother's illness needs to be treated with good medicine, and he must be taken care of regularly."
"With the little money you have now, you can only use some medicine to survive. It depends on whether your brother can survive."
As he was about to prescribe medicine, Pei Ziyun waved his hand: "How can you prescribe medicine without seeing the patient? Your doctor, please follow me!"
The doctor hesitated, so Pei Ziyun took a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it over.
The doctor took it and took a look. It was one or two pieces. Although it had been clipped and cut, it no longer looked like a silver ingot, but the ground was white and deep, with frost on the edges. It was ninety-eight silver. He immediately said: "That's right."
The girl's face turned red and she wanted to say something, but her lips trembled and she didn't say anything. The doctor got up and took some medicines, then followed her to the girl's home. As soon as she entered the house, the doctor frowned: "How can people live in this environment? It’s humid, no wonder you get sick.”
Listening to the doctor's words, the girl's face turned red.
"Cough cough, cough cough." A cough came from the bed. A young man was lying on the bed with only a shabby thin quilt: "Sister, I feel so uncomfortable."
"Brother, the doctor is here, you will be fine!" the girl whimpered.
The doctor went up and looked at the young man lying on the bed, and frowned: "It's serious again."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to feel his pulse and frowned even more: "Your brother's cold poison attack is more serious than the last time he came here. It must have been delayed for a long time."
"Mother, please save my brother!" The girl choked, "As you know, my brother fell into the water and got a bit cold. His family is poor, so he thought nothing would happen, so he delayed it. I hope the doctor can save him."
Listening to the girl's words, the doctor said: "I will prescribe a prescription for you. If you take the medicine on time, the disease can be cured. It's just that the medicine is a bit expensive and you have to take it for at least a month."
"This gentleman, you should treat the doctor as you should." Pei Ziyun said at this time: "Use the medicine as you should - can the disease be cured?"
The doctor said: "It's not a problem now, but if we don't cure it, I'm afraid that not only will the root cause of the disease fall down, but the disease will become terminally ill, and then it will be incurable."
Pei Ziyun looked at the young man's complexion and felt that what he said made sense. He actually found some pen and ink in the room, and the doctor came to the case and wrote the prescription with his pen.
Pei Ziyun said to the doctor: "Doctor, there is no need to go back now. Please wait in the side room."
Seeing that the doctor was gone, the girl stepped forward to take the prescription and looked at it. Her face turned pale. She was literate, and because her brother was sick, she also asked about the medicinal materials. There were many precious medicines on it. Just one prescription would make her want to be consistent. Money, let alone continuous use, suddenly made me out of breath.
The young man was lying on the bed and asked: "Sister, but the medicine is expensive? It doesn't matter to me, I can get better without taking medicine!"
Even so, there was a tremor in his words.
After hearing this, the girl covered her mouth and shed big tears. She was silent for a while and then said: "Brother, it's okay. I was just thinking about whether we should buy a medicine jar at home."
"Sister, if you want to buy more, just buy more. There's nothing wrong with it." The young man asked, "Sister, do you still have enough money hidden in your pocket?"
The girl took a deep breath: "That's enough, brother, you lie down first and I'll get you some medicine - Master, will you come out with me for a moment?"
Pei Ziyun followed the girl out. Outside the door, the girl was silent for a moment and knelt down: "Young Master, please save my brother."
As she spoke, the girl took out another wooden box from her arms, opened it, and found a jade pendant. There was some melancholy in her eyes, thinking of her parents, and tears streaming down her face again.
"Father, father, I'm sorry for the Fu family, but for my brother and for the Li family, I have to do this!" The girl handed the jade pendant up: "Young Master, this jade pendant is also worth ten taels. My little girl can't be a part of it, but maybe you can keep it."
Pei Ziyun took the jade pendant, looked at the girl in front of him, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Fu Yu!" the girl replied.
"Did your parents keep the jade pendant for you?"
"It's my father's relic." The girl said sadly.
Pei Ziyun was silent for a while and said, "You have two things to worry about now. The first is that your brother is sick, which requires money."
"The second thing is that your brother is too young and you, a girl, cannot support the family."
"Since you are from an official family, and you seem to have read a bit, you must have had some wealth before. Why did it decline so quickly? It must be because the neighborhood has regarded your family as a destitute household."
"It must be the same reason why this pawn shop dares to do such a trick."
