Woniu Village·Early Morning

When he got up early in the morning, Pei Ziyun only felt that he still smelled of alcohol. With Pei Qian's presence, he couldn't refuse the village chief's toast, so he had to drink. When he got up early this morning, he felt a little uncomfortable and took a bath with hot water.

After sinking into the barrel, Pei Ziyun called out: "System!"

A small white plum appeared in front of me, and quickly enlarged into a translucent information frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light.

"Mission 1: Rescue Ye Su'er (Completed)"

"Task 2: To be admitted as a scholar (completed)"

"Task 3: Obtain the sustenance of the monks (unfinished)"

"Now there is only the third task left. With the patrolling archers, the village is safe, but the hidden danger of the black wind bandits is still there. It is not appropriate to take Ye Suer home now. We have to eradicate it and return this jade. retribution."

"If we kill this casual cultivator, we might even be able to find someone to rely on as a cultivator."

"But if we want to kill this casual cultivator, shouldn't we find helpers?"

"For example, Mr. Zhao Ning Zhao, and even though it's a little late now, can I get in early through Mr. Zhao?" After thinking about it all the way, the water gradually became cold, so I put on my clothes. At this time, I heard Mrs. Pei Qian calling from the window. , opened the door and saw that Mrs. Pei Qian had prepared some gifts and said, "My son, it is a happy event that you have won the scholarship now. I called Mr. Zhao yesterday, but he did not come, but you still have to go to Mr. Zhao's home." once."

Pei Ziyun had this intention and was ready to go as soon as his mother told him. After a while, Pei Qian finished packing and asked Pei Ziyun to take it with him. Pei Ziyun couldn't refuse and took it.

Before we arrived at the bamboo house courtyard, we could see the bamboo forest in the distance. The breeze blew by in the morning, and the bamboo forest was like waves, undulating in the wind.

When I came to the front of the courtyard, there was a fence. I opened the door gently and saw Mr. Zhao walking out to the courtyard with a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

"Teacher!" Pei Ziyun quickly went up to greet him.

Zhao Ning looked up and saw Pei Ziyun, smiling: "It's a coincidence that you're here. Your junior brother just hunted a hare yesterday, and he just did it this morning. I didn't expect you to come here. You are really lucky." .”

Pei Ziyun bowed and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission, sir. This time I was selected as a scholar. I just returned to the village yesterday. I came here to see you today. Thank you sir for getting this scholar."

"It's because of your talent and sophistication that you have such a blessed life." Zhao Ning waved his hand and sighed in his heart. In fact, although this disciple has some ancestral blessings, it is very small. I thought that it might take a few years to struggle, but he didn't want to pass the exam. , it was a little unexpected, but also a little gratifying. No matter what, this secular disciple will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, so he poured a glass of wine and said: "This scholar is the starting point of the imperial examination, and there is still a long way to go in the future. It’s just that from now on you have to do these things alone.”

Pei Ziyun's heart sank and he asked in surprise: "Sir, what's going on? Is there something big going on?"

I saw Zhao Ning waving his hand to indicate that he was not, paused, and said: "I am not from the mortal world. You should have seen someone from my immortal sect. You were selected as a scholar and met me in the county." His junior brother is a monk from Yinlong Temple, a thief in the cave, and a slovenly Taoist."

Hearing what Mr. Zhao said, Pei Ziyun was prepared, but now he was surprised.

When Zhao Ning saw this, he just sighed softly. The past few years of teaching had passed by in a flash. Not to mention anything else, the teaching alone was full of affection, and he treated him as half a disciple. At this time, his voice could not help but become smaller, and he said softly , with a hint of loneliness in his words: "I am a reclusive Taoist. This time I came here to find the reincarnated elder in the sect. Now I'm done. I found him. He is your junior brother. There is an order from the sect and he has returned."

"Teacher, since you are a member of the Taoist sect, you can't help me cross over?" Pei Ziyun said sincerely: "I also feel that things in the world are impermanent, and only the immortal way is true. I also ask my teacher to remember the years of friendship. , ferry me across."

As he said that, he wanted to bow down, but he didn't know that Zhao Ning, who usually accepted the courtesy, did not accept this gift. A soft force stopped him and he couldn't bow down. He said: "Idiot, you have a destiny, you are too late. "

Seeing the disappointment on Pei Ziyun's face, Zhao Ning couldn't bear it and said: "My junior brother gave you a set of martial arts skills. Although it is not the true teaching of our sect, it is also the authentic way to enter the Tao. If you can use it to reach the tenth level and enter the Tao, Gen, then you and I will still have the fate of master and disciple."

"Master, I've made arrangements. I'm just waiting for my senior brother to say goodbye. Then I can leave." At this moment, Zhang Yun was seen carrying a package on his back, holding something in his hand, and talking and laughing with a young man who was coming from outside. When I came back, I shouted loudly when I got to the door.

Hearing this voice, Pei Ziyun looked over and saw the man behind Zhang Yun. The young man caught his eye, but he was directly wearing Taoist robes. His figure was very handsome, which made people fall in love with him at first sight.

Just when he saw it, Pei Ziyun narrowed his eyes. Thinking of what happened in his past life, it turned out that this was "Song Zhi", Mr. Xie's accomplice who stole his golden finger from him in his previous life - the senior disciple of this generation!

In the previous life, this person was the one who informed Mr. Xie and was promoted by Mr. Xie to become the leader.

When the enemy met, Pei Ziyun felt an indescribable anger rushing out of his chest. His eyes turned red for a moment, and his eyes widened instantly. You could also see the whites of the eyes with bloodshot eyes spreading, giving a fierce look.

But as soon as this emotion appeared, Pei Ziyun knew instantly that something was wrong. Everyone present was from the Immortal Sect, and they had keen senses. They must have noticed this. He secretly hated the original owner for his reckless emotion, and quickly raised his hand and covered it with his sleeves. In front of him, he covered his eyes with his hands and said, "No, the wind and sand blurred my eyes."

At this time, Song Zhi on Zhang Yun's side felt a little uneasy with just a heartbeat, but it went away in the blink of an eye. He didn't know where the uneasiness came from, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Zhang Yun came up to him and said, "Senior brother, the sand is in your eyes. Just blow on yourself. If you rub your eyes, the more sand will get in."

After saying that, he pulled away Pei Ziyun's hand and helped him blow his eyes. When he looked into his eyes, he saw that Pei Ziyun's eyes were red and seemed to have murderous intent. He couldn't help but be shocked.

But Pei Ziyun put down his hand and said with a smile: "The sand has been kneaded out, so junior brother you are worried!"

After saying this, his expression returned to normal. Zhang Yun felt that he was too worried and his eyes were blinded by the sand. His eyes would have been red.

Zhao Ning was also pleased to see Pei Ziyun and Zhang Yun enjoying themselves as usual.

Seeing that he had covered up the past, Pei Ziyun thought he was reborn. These enemies in his previous life were actually the enemies of the original owner, so he could naturally treat them with detachment. Forget it, it will be unforgettable.

It seems that this hatred has penetrated into the soul bit by bit, and at the same time he has integrated and accepted the love and hate of the host's previous life. At the moment, he is meditating and secretly complaining.

Zhao Ning said at this time: "You are back, are you well settled at home?"

Zhang Yun clasped his hands and saluted: "Master, please give me some money. The family has been settled. I can leave at any time."

At this time, Zhao Ning said: "It's rare for you brothers to see each other again. This farewell may be forever. You go and say goodbye yourself."

Saying nothing, feeling a little lonely, he entered the bamboo house.

Seeing this scene, Song Zhi also sighed. It would never be the same after entering the Immortal Sect. Farewell to the immortal world forever, he followed Mr. Zhao into the Bamboo House, leaving time for this senior brother.

Zhang Yun pulled Pei Ziyun and lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, don't be sad. I overheard the conversation between master and uncle, and it was about senior brother."

"Uncle said, seeing that he has the desire to seek immortality, he has passed on the instructions to his senior brother in accordance with the master's request. As long as he reaches the tenth level of cultivation, he can start. He also said that before this, there should be no more conflicts. Senior uncle It seems that there is someone behind the Black Wind Thief."

There is no new information in these words. They were all given just now. Even the casual cultivators behind the Black Wind Thief may know that they are related to the Holy Prison Gate.

However, Pei Ziyun still thanked Zhang Yun, thinking of the many mistakes he made in his previous life. In his previous life, he had to wait ten years to become a casual cultivator. When he saw Elder Zhao, relying on his affection, he entered the Songyun Sect, and he was speechless for a moment - this was obviously Have expectations for yourself.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably, and a little embarrassed, he hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears.

Zhang Yun took a look and saw Pei Ziyun covering his face with his hands, and asked, "What's wrong, senior brother?"

"It's okay, it's just that the sand rubbed my eyes just now, and I feel a little uncomfortable now." Pei Ziyun put down his hands, tears faintly visible in the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Yun wanted to say something more. Seeing Pei Ziyun like this, he couldn't speak. After a long time, he said: "Then, senior brother, let's say goodbye. By the way, Master said, there is nothing else in this yard, just Some books are precious and will be taken away if they are placed here, so senior brother, just take them!"

"I understand, let's go!" Pei Ziyun hid his face. After a while, he put down his sleeves. At a glance, the entire yard and bamboo building were empty, but they were gone.

Pei Ziyun sighed and looked in the yard. The tea was still warm. When he arrived at the bamboo house, he saw that the rice and sundries were still there. He went to the study room and thousands of books were arranged neatly.

After a long silence, he reached the bottom again and started to play the game of beasts. After playing it over and over again, although he felt comfortable all over, he could not feel a trace of spiritual power. Pei Ziyun sighed, he had no spiritual roots and could not cultivate it. He had to complete it. Only the task can be done.

It is still necessary to start with the Black Wind Pirates and kill the casual cultivator. The spells of this casual cultivator are superficial and they have too much practice to get started. However, he does not need Taoism, he only needs a little inspiration to turn into spiritual roots.

Since he has no Taoist skills, even casual cultivators will find it difficult to kill him. He must get help. Now Zhao Ning is unable to do so. If he wants to borrow a sword, he must find another way.

The village is a force, but even though the village has set up patrols and trained some village warriors, it will not take the initiative to attack. At this time, an idea flashed: "I remembered an opportunity. In these few days, I might be able to find it." .”

"By the way, even if you don't pick up Ye Su'er, you still have to explain it to her."

"It's getting late, let's have lunch first!" I thought, and when I returned to the village, someone shouted, and I saw a middle-aged man in the distance.

When I got closer, I took a closer look and saw that this middle-aged man looked like a housekeeper and was a bit thin. When he saw Pei Ziyun, he came up to him with a smile: "I wanted to come here yesterday to look for the scholar, but I thought that the scholar would have to come back." I have something important to do, so I came here today.”

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Ziyun and saw that the scholar in front of him was young, handsome, and had bright eyes. He was really blessed. Then he continued, "I am here to return the land deed to the scholar."

"My master said that back then, the scholar's family had to use money and land in exchange for mortgages. At that time, he felt regretful, thinking that he would win the title in a few years. Today, Mr. Pei won the title of scholar, so he will return the land." The housekeeper said this.
