early morning
The sun came out and shone on the river, and the reflections of the mountains were reflected in the water. A large ship rushed forward, smashing the reflections into waves.
The waves moved towards the river, disturbing some women who had gotten up early to wash their clothes.
Pei Ziyun stood on the boat and looked forward. He could see the magnificent city wall of the capital appearing in the distance.
"The capital has arrived." Ren Wei stood beside Pei Ziyun, looking at the capital with a somewhat melancholy expression. After going back and forth several times, he was already different.
The wharf is several miles outside the city. The river is tens of feet long and the water is more than ten feet deep. There are many shops and shops, fishermen selling fresh fish, and some oxcarts transporting goods. It is very prosperous.
Baihu hired a car and went straight to the Prince's Mansion. He spoke to the gatekeeper, showed his token and went in. After a while, he came back and said: "The Prince was announced to the palace by His Majesty. However, the Prince has spoken. As soon as the real person comes back." , please wait. "
After saying that, he invited him in, led him into the garden, walked through a forest, and walked among the weeping willows with fallen leaves. After walking for several dozen meters, Pei Ziyun exhaled and looked at the withering lotus in the pond: " I just heard you whispering, what happened?"
"These days, Your Majesty has found reasons to scold the prince again." Baihu sighed.
"You don't need to say this." Pei Ziyun waved his hand to stop talking and avoided the topic. These are a bit strange. Everything needs to be said after meeting the prince: "Where are the hundreds of Taoist belongings? Take me to investigate."
"Master, please follow me." Baihu led Pei Ziyun into the small hall, and saw a small table inside, which collected Taoist personal belongings, including long swords, seals, jade pendants, hairpins, guqin, ancient Xiao, ancient The flutes were played one by one.
The hundreds of items are dazzling at first glance, and for a moment I feel that they are sparkling gold or full of ancient charm, rather like a scene of items belonging to an eminent person.
Seeing this, Baihu said with a smile on his face: "Master, you look at it. If it is good, it means you have won. I will send these to your home."
Baihu was cautious, fearing that Pei Ziyun would be dissatisfied. Since the collection of items was known to the prince, the prince issued an order to satisfy Pei Ziyun, and Baihu couldn't help but be dissatisfied.
Baihu ordered his guards to collect these things in various Taoist temples, and they put all their efforts into it.
When Pei Ziyun saw these, he couldn't help but feel sad and ridiculous at the same time. What he wanted was the personal belongings entrusted to the Taoist, but Baihu and the prince seemed to have misunderstood that these were treasures.
However, he was so preoccupied that he couldn't get blisters. He immediately stepped forward to admire it carefully, and then he got closer, and his face changed slightly: "It's really there."
One is a hairpin, the other is an ancient flute, and the last one is a small seal.
This is a copper seal. It is rough in casting, but it may have been touched for a long time. It is somewhat rounded and has a layer of patina on it.
"Dharma Seal!" Pei Ziyun nodded and shook his head. The Dharma Seal is the seal of authority of the Taoist sect. The "Yang Ping Zhi Du Gong Seal" in his original life is the famous one.
Each Taoist sect has its own seal, which is used for practicing magic. However, this seal is actually a symbol of inheritance in the spiritual world. If the Taoist sect itself is destroyed, it will be worthless.
"Three items have sustenance, which is a lot." Pei Ziyun thought to himself: "If it is the power of the country, even if it is just a small trial search by the prince's people, it will be much faster than himself. No wonder there is a big gap between the original owner's hands and Xie Chengdong's plum blossoms." As big as that.”
Having three of them makes me happy, but I have to cover it up. Although it is impossible for others to guess, it must be just in case.
Thinking like this, Pei Ziyun stepped forward, picked out the items that had no sustenance and value, and threw them away: "I don't need these."
Hundreds of households followed, seeing how dissatisfied Pei Ziyun was, and broke out in a cold sweat. Pei Ziyun ignored them, and kept eliminating the useless according to their purpose, practicality, and rarity.
Hundreds of households counted carefully and eliminated two-thirds. They thought to themselves: "Since it is useless, people need to return it. Fortunately, I haven't given any money yet."
There seemed to be a few tables with more than a hundred items, and it looked like there were only a third of the rest.
The remaining one-third gathered together. Looking at what was in front of them, Pei Ziyun said, "These are all good things. Send them all to my house."
"If you tell me you're familiar with it, I'll give you the money myself. You still have to count the money. Don't ruin the reputation of the prince and me just for a small amount of money. I don't miss this."
Pei Ziyun said as he stroked the qin, and the qin started to ring and make a sound, so he looked at it and said, "The guqin is quite exquisite."
These antiques range from a few taels of silver to around a hundred taels. As for the so-called antiques worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, don't be ridiculous. There may not be many in the palace.
Hundreds of households followed Pei Ziyun's gaze and saw an antique Qin carved with orchids in front of them. It had a dark color and had been around for several years.
"Yes, real person!" These purchases made hundreds of households look happy, and one third of them could smoke a lot themselves. Although it was a public weapon for private use, it was a must after the prince's order.
At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly came in, talked in Baihu's ear, and left a little later.
Baihu turned to look at Pei Ziyun: "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the prince today. Your Majesty has left the prince in the palace, and I think he won't come back until night."
Hearing that the prince would not be back today, Pei Ziyun only thought for a moment and looked at Baihu: "Nothing, I have come to the capital. If the prince has something to do, please announce that I will come."
"That's what the real person said. I will transport everything back to the Pei Mansion for the real person?" Baihu asked.
After hearing these words, Pei Ziyun thought for a moment: "Let's just walk together."
Hundreds of households immediately responded, looking for the guards to come over, loading all the valuable things into the car and heading to Pei's mansion. After returning to the mansion, Bai Ya's mother and daughter came up to meet him and said, "I have seen the young master."
Seeing Bai Ya's mother and daughter approaching, Pei Ziyun no longer thought about eating. He just said, "I had lunch at the Prince's Mansion. I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap. Don't disturb me."
"Yes, young master." Bai Ya and his daughter responded quickly.
Pei Ziyun moved into his room. He was very satisfied when he saw that the room was clean and the quilt had been dried. He put everything under the pillow and fell asleep with only the quilt on it as before.
Just entering the dream, Pei Ziyun felt something was wrong. Three light groups appeared in front of him. It seemed that the three light groups represented three different lives.
"Huh?" Pei Ziyun was surprised. After careful consideration, he realized that the message came that plum blossoms could still be used in this way. As long as he fell asleep with several sustenance objects on his pillow, it would become an option.
In his previous life, he was weak and weak until he joined the Songyun Sect eight years later. How could he have received so much trust? In this life, things have come one by one. It was unimaginable that he would start this project today.
In front of Pei Ziyun, three light groups looked like movies, faintly demonstrating their respective lives. Pei Ziyun randomly selected one, stretched out his hand, and the light group suddenly expanded and enveloped Pei Ziyun.
