In the night, the thick black clouds flashed, illuminating the river brightly. A figure jumped from the boat to the shore, and fell into darkness again.
The rain was pouring down, and he saw that there were large paddy fields on both sides of the river bank. The rice was golden and was about to be harvested. Pei Ziyun pressed his sword on the side of the field and said, "Get on the boat. Just as he said, go down the river and get out of the mansion." At twice the speed to Zhoucheng, this is the ferry?"
The road here leads directly to Houdu Town. The town was originally bustling with people, but at this time, everyone fell asleep, and occasionally some lights shone through the windows.
The only trouble is that from time to time at night there is the barking of the big dog that the family keeps.
This is the case in the countryside. As long as there is a dog making trouble and a dog barks, the dogs in the entire village will bark together, and the barking will often be continuous. It can scare many thieves and wake up the homeowner.
Pei Ziyun was hidden in the darkness. There was a cool breeze blowing, and there were many crickets chirping at night. But in autumn, these crickets' sounds were a bit sad and desolate.
"I remember there was a Taoist temple, and there was a house not far away, which is Li Wenjing's residence, but I only heard about it in my previous life, so I still have to look for it."
After walking along the stone road in the town for a while, I saw a Taoist temple. Near the Taoist temple, there was a large house surrounded by several thick pine trees. Two lions squatted on the steps. I went up to distinguish it carefully. There was a "Li Mansion" written on it. The plaque made Pei Ziyun feel happy, the Li Wenjing family must be here.
Just when Pei Ziyun was thinking about climbing over the wall, the plum blossoms on his forehead suddenly moved, and his heart trembled. There were Taoist restrictions in Li Wenjing's house, so it was a bit difficult to deal with it.
"It's just that when the new dynasty was founded, the dragon spirit was at its peak, and the law network was dense. In the counties and prefectures, except for those who were given titles and titles, there were still some Taoist laws, and everything else was suppressed."
"Although this is a dock, Li Wenjing heard in his previous life that he didn't have many Taoist laws and it was impossible to put a ban on the entire house."
With this thought, Pei Ziyun circled the Li Mansion. When he approached a place, the plum blossoms on his forehead did not light up. There was no forbidden law here, so he felt happy and climbed over the wall.
I thought to myself, I wonder if Li Wenjing is in the house. If he is here, I can kill him, and this jade jade will break off one of his arms.
After entering the courtyard, I discovered that it was a house with three entrances and three exits. Xu's law decreed that only Juren could live in a house with three entrances and three exits. Li Wenjing was just a commoner. According to Xu's law, beheading was not an exaggeration.
Entering the yard, there were some flowers and plants planted in the yard, and there were some strange rocks piled inside. There was a small pool, not big. When entering the yard, I saw a vicious dog rushing over, and then it barked. The sword flashed, and the sword The sharp point pierced the vicious dog's head. As soon as it was stirred, the dog fell to the ground motionless.
Pei Ziyun hid the dog in the stone and groped into the yard. He didn't know if Li Wenjing was not there or what, but he was happy that there were no servants patrolling the yard.
Pei Ziyun walked all the way, and whenever there was a plum blossom warning, Pei Ziyun avoided it. The courtyard was quiet and quiet, and there was no sound. It should not be here. Along the corridor, he suddenly heard a woman laughing, as if she was playing, with a coquettish tone.
Walking towards the front, as soon as I got closer, there was a smell of women's incense, including osmanthus, roses, and some rouge, mixed together and permeating the yard, but the smell was very light.
As I got closer, I heard a man's voice, which seemed to be teasing a woman. I felt happy in my heart. God is really helping me. This Li Wenjing is in the right spot. His strength has been exhausted. He is at home.
He moved forward and poked a small hole in the window, and the heat came out. There were many women inside. It was a bit cold in the autumn night, but there was a fire inside.
When I looked carefully, I saw that all the women were wearing dresses and no men were seen. I thought it was strange that Li Wenjing was not there
Suddenly, I saw a woman trembling in her skirt. A man got out of her skirt and threw the woman to the ground. He spoke words of love and acted like he was doing nothing.
For a moment, the room was full of spring scenery. The man was not satisfied, so he picked up a woman and picked her up. There was a spring scenery inside.
Pei Ziyun looked carefully and realized that this man was indeed Li Wenjing. He had seen a portrait of this man in his previous life and had some impressions.
Another carnival
Pei Ziyun couldn't help but sneer: "Huh, although this person is resourceful, he doesn't have access to the Heavenly Sect. Even if he has some magic, it will take time to cast. He is very fragile. If we meet him tonight, it is a God-given opportunity. We can kill him with one sword."
Thinking like this, waiting for this person to finish the carnival, this spring enjoyment will naturally consume a lot of man's essence and blood. Even if he has one or two Taoist methods, Taoism cannot create essence and blood out of thin air. This lust is just an introduction, and he can enter the Tao through desire.
Even if you use a woman, you have to have a certain degree. If you go too far, there will be losses. Moreover, after a man has sex, he will have no strength, and there will be fewer variables.
One after another, sounds filled the room, either bright or charming, and all of them were beauties. At this moment, Li Wenjing suddenly felt uneasy, and suddenly froze, and his eyes turned from desire to clarity.
"The Taoist prohibition has not been touched, where does this uneasiness come from?"
Li Wenjing stood up. The woman under her was not satisfied yet. When she saw the man, he wanted to go wherever he wanted, so she had to hold him. Li Wenjing had already taken off his clothes and there was no place to grab him. Li Wenjing was shocked and walked away. , the woman also sat up and muttered.
Li Wenjing ignored it, took the sword from the wall, walked to the corridor at the door, looked around, and still didn't notice anything strange. There was seclusion here due to the carnival. He immediately rushed to the door of the inner courtyard to call someone, and then turned around He turned a corner, suddenly heard a "pop" sound, and felt his heart hurt. He looked down and saw a bloody sword tip piercing through his chest. His vision went dark and he was about to scream.
"Hold down!" A person came out from behind and covered his mouth with a towel. Blood poured out of Li Wenjing's body. After waiting for a few minutes, he stopped moving and only twitched from time to time.
"It's as simple as calculating mentally or not." He put the man on the floor on one side, followed the original route, left the yard, found the horse gallery, and went directly to lead the horse.
"Who?" Just as he was about to lead the horses away, the groom who was looking after the horses came out of the small house on the horse gallery with hazy eyes. He saw a man trying to lead the horses. Since his actions were fair and aboveboard, he did not call out the thief for a while and asked, "Who is it?"
Before he finished speaking, a stone hit his face. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
Pei Ziyun dragged the groom into the room, put his hand on the sword, and thought about whether to kill him, but he hesitated for a moment and released the hilt of the sword: "This man didn't see his appearance clearly, so just spare him!"
Thinking about it, he led the horse out the back door.
When you get to the road, you get on your horse, give a shout, and the horse gallops away.
Several women in the room found it strange that the master was having a good time and stuck out of the door for a while. Even if he was in a hurry, he was about to come back, so he put on his clothes and looked for him.
As soon as she went out, she saw a pool of blood on the ground. The blood on the ground had condensed. The woman screamed and immediately fainted to the ground.
The women at the back heard the screams and saw a large pool of blood when they went out. They followed the blood and saw a naked man behind the corridor with a sword thrown beside him.
A brave woman stepped forward and tried to breathe. She had already lost her breath, and even her body was cold. She was full of fear and shouted: "Someone is coming, someone is coming, the master has been killed, the master has been killed."
… …
night
The clouds and rain gradually disappeared, and the moonlight shone down. The horse ran very fast. It was indeed a good horse. However, after running all night, the horse was panting from exhaustion.
Pei Ziyun looked up and saw a morning star hanging in the sky. He could faintly see the city wall of the state city in the distance: "Hey, it galloped hundreds of miles overnight. This horse is really good. It must be worth at least fifty taels, right?"
"It's a pity, but I really can't take you with me." Pei Ziyun slowed down and galloped along the river bank, hearing the sound of water in the river rushing.
Pei Ziyun jumped off the horse, drew his sword and stabbed the horse. The tip of the sword instantly penetrated the horse's heart. The horse was not dead for a moment. It jumped twice and jumped into the river. The blood was dyed red and washed with the river. Go down.
He took off his clothes again. Although he was careful, there was still some blood on the clothes, but not much. At this time, he threw the clothes into the water.
Pei Ziyun looked at the city wall. During the war, not only would there be patrols, but all the trees within a hundred meters of the area would have to be cut down. Now that the world is at peace, there is no such rule anymore. He spotted a spot and took advantage of the trees and buildings to climb up. , and entered the city.
"Hurry, it's almost dawn."
At this time, the streets were deserted, with no passers-by. The lanterns on the shops had already been extinguished. Pei Ziyun did not take the main road, but turned around and walked to the alley. He ran to the inn, walked to the backyard of the inn, and went around to his room. He came out last night. He left the window open, so he opened it and got into his room.
I was really sleepy after running around killing people all night. I opened the quilt and fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed. After just a while, I fell asleep soundly.

Zhoucheng Gongyuan
The examiner has finished reading the papers for the first session. According to the system, the examiner will read the papers for each state examination first. First of all, there are typos, taboos, and violations of the rules of the examination room - all the self-reported family background and information are degraded. , this is because you are afraid that someone will cheat. After all, the purpose of hiding your name in the paper is to cover up the paper. You still confess to yourself that you are doing it in spite of yourself. If you are not derogatory, who should be deposed
"How many were deposed?" Hu Yingzhen asked.
"This time, more than 3,000 volumes have been dismissed due to violations of regulations and errors, totaling 561 volumes." Someone reported that such papers were posted and not recorded.
"Do these talented people know that the state examination is so important and there are so many violations and mistakes?" someone said.
"The state exam is stressful, and it is inevitable for many newcomers. Even you and me are not perfect in the first test." A real estate examiner said something fair.
"Have the main volume and the supplementary volume been released?" Hu Yingzhen asked.
"President, the three hundred volumes of the main volume and the two hundred volumes of the supplementary volume have been released." A marking officer said and exhaled.
After the exam, the marking officer stayed up all night reading the papers in the room. It was a heavy responsibility. The pen in his hand was related to the fate of every candidate, so that was all. These papers would be sent to the Ministry of Rites for polishing.
There are many people in the Ministry of Etiquette who have free time. They check the papers one by one when they have nothing to do. If they find something deviant in the papers, the examiners and fellow examiners must be held accountable. Those who succeed in the examination must have their honors stripped and dismissed.
The marking officer read the paper cautiously and meticulously, and now he can breathe a sigh of relief - the following matter is not the matter of ordinary marking officers, but the matter of the room examiner.
The room examiner re-read the remaining 500 volumes and recommended them to the CEO.
"This article is brilliant. Compared with other papers, it is no longer on the same level." The examiner took a sip of tea, took a copy of the main paper and read it, then read a few lines in a hurry, suddenly became energetic, and started reading again: "Simple and elegant, every article can be used as a model essay in the examination room."
"It reads like a scholar."
"This is strange. Let alone scholars, even if you just take the chance to promote people, you don't have this taste. You must enter the Hanlin Academy and gradually develop this temperament." Examiner Fang read it again and felt that the style of writing was somewhat familiar: "This must be I have to recommend him highly."
As he said that, he drew a circle and wrote "high recommendation".
