"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me."
"Sir, the Black Wind Bandit attacked last night and wants food and beauties. The village wants to give Ye Su'er, my childhood sweetheart who I have known since childhood, to the Black Wind Bandit." At this point, Pei Ziyun paused.
"I'm a scholar, so I can't resist. Fortunately, God has eyes. The thief here was hacked to death in the ruined temple for some unknown reason. Now the village is making a noise!"
"This is my luck, but I can't rely on this again and again. I thought about everything and had no choice but to beg Mr. Zhao to help me."
"Oh?" Mr. Zhao glanced at Ye Su'er and Pei Ziyun, smiled suddenly, and said, "... Of course, it's unjust for the village to do this. Okay, I'll keep her."
"Thank you, mentor—"
"Wait a minute." Mr. Zhao waved his hand, and the smile disappeared from his face, and he said solemnly: "But this is not a long-term solution. Although the Black Wind Pirates can't grow rabbit tails, they won't die before they die. The villagers are ignorant. , I’m afraid she’ll be tempted again, and if you want to protect her, you’ll have to pull out all the firepower.”
Pei Ziyun was shocked and bowed: "Please give me some instructions from my mentor."
"Ziyun, I was reviewing your article yesterday, but I felt that it was time for me to take the merit test. I wanted to tell you, but I didn't want you to come today."
"The Spring Examination is just around the corner. As long as you go to Fucheng and pass the examination as a scholar, you can persuade the Inspection Department to include Woniu Village in the inspection. Although the Black Wind Bandit is unruly, he is not an ignorant person and does not dare to conflict head-on. "
"You can use this to protect her!"
When Mr. Zhao said this, he paused. He took out a piece of silver from his arms and placed it in front of Pei Ziyun: "This is a small amount of money. You can take it and go. During this period, I will protect you." This is my childhood sweetheart Zhou Quan."
Ye Su'er was stunned when she saw Mr. Zhao take out ten taels of silver. Ordinary people, one tael of silver can last for three months, three taels of silver can last a year, and ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people in the countryside for three years. Spend.
At this time, Ye Suer's face showed an expression of embarrassment: "How can I, a female prostitute, live in the same house with my husband? Brother Pei..."
I didn't want to disappoint Brother Pei, so I couldn't help but look troubled, and I didn't know how to say half of what I said.
"Haha, this is easy."
"I am writing a letter for you. There is a Taoist temple where Nu Guan lives five miles away. Nu Guan is my good friend inside. Ziyun can go with you. With this letter, Nu Guan will definitely agree to take her in. Today Just go quickly.
Mr. Zhao picked up the wine cup on the table, covered it with his hand, raised his head and drank another glass of sake, and said: "And as long as you become a scholar, the land you own can be redeemed at a fair price, and the Li family will not refuse. "
As soon as these words came out, Pei Ziyun felt his eyebrows light up, and a small white plum appeared in front of his eyes, which quickly enlarged into a translucent information frame.
There is a mission, but now is not the time to watch. Pei Ziyun just smiled and pondered secretly: "Indeed, the teacher is not a long-term solution, not even the female crown. If you want to resist the black wind thieves and the villagers, you have to obtain merit."
"Not only that, in the long run, if you come from a poor family and want to change your destiny, you must have an identity. If you take the exam this time and pass the exam to become a scholar, your situation will be greatly improved."
Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I held my hand in my hand: "Sir, you have your destiny, and students should follow it."
Seeing Pei Ziyun agree, Mr. Zhao laughed twice and said happily: "Come on, I know you are impatient. Drink this cup and send your beauty to the Taoist gym to avoid trouble. Remember to come here a few more times before the exam. I will I will tutor you, and I will definitely pass the exam to be a scholar this time, and live up to your mother’s hard work.”
"promise"
Pei Ziyun took the full cup of sake from Mr. Zhao's hand, raised his glass and drank it. The wine was hot and slid down his throat. He felt so good that he couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good."
After leaving Mr. Zhao's house, it was only five miles away from the Taoist temple. It was neither far nor close. I took Ye Suer to the Taoist temple not far away. At a glance, I saw a river flowing through it and peach trees in full bloom on the hills. , the sunshine flows in the peach blossoms, the peach blossoms are crowded together, clusters are blooming on the branches, exuding a light fragrance, and this Taoist temple lives in this peach forest.
As I got closer, my nose was filled with the fragrance of peach, and some butterflies and bees were flying. There were two big trees standing in front of the Taoist temple, covering the open space in front of the Taoist temple. They were also peach trees with peach blossoms. It seemed that the owner of the Taoist temple was very fond of peach trees. It's love.
I saw three words "Peach Garden Temple" written on the horizontal plaque on the Taoist temple. Pei Ziyun paused for a moment. This temple is the residence of the female crown. He had studied hard in his previous life and never visited it. Ye Su'er had heard of it and turned to Pei Ziyun. Said: "Brother Pei, I have heard about this Peach Garden Temple. There is a female crown who lives here. She is kind-hearted and charitable. She often helps the poor and has a good reputation. I didn't expect that this is the place that my husband introduced me to."
"That's great. Let's go forward and call for help." After saying that, Pei Ziyun stepped forward, raised the copper ring in front of the door, and knocked it a few times. Someone inside responded: "Here he comes!"
Just as he was talking, the door creaked and opened, and a female Taoist girl came out. This female Taoist girl was a small person, a loli. She looked at the two people in front of her, gave a salute, and asked: "Two benefactors, I don't know why you came to this peach garden. Are you praying to God or burning incense? However, this is a female crown. Men are not allowed to enter. I hope you will forgive me."
Pei Ziyun took a step forward and handed over the letter in his hand: "I am a student of Mr. Zhao from Woniu Village. I have something to ask for, so I came to visit Taoist Guanzhong. This is Mr. Zhao's letter. Please also ask me." Communication."
"It's a letter from Mr. Zhao." The little Taoist boy seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Zhao. He took it and looked at the handwriting on the envelope and said, "If it's Elder Zhao's handwriting, I'll pass it on to you later. "
After saying that, he turned to the door and closed it slightly. He could hear shouting from inside: "Master, Master, someone is here to visit. He is Mr. Zhao's student."
"Elder Zhao, this Taoist boy claims to be familiar with. Could it be that this place is also a stronghold of the Immortal Sect? It has something to do with Elder Zhao!" Pei Ziyun was secretly surprised.
In the memory of the original owner, although it was actually a fairy gate, it was not isolated from the world, especially because the branches were so intricate that it was not the same here.
After some time, I heard footsteps inside the temple, the door opened, and a female crown came out.
I saw this female crown wearing a Taoist robe. She didn't look very old, around thirty, with good appearance and clear eyebrows. If you look closely, she was not stunning, but a little ordinary.
Seeing the female crown coming out, Pei Ziyun and Ye Su'er saluted. Pei Ziyun said, "Wish you a blessing, Master. The Master should read the letter you just sent. I hope that the Master will give you the request. I will wait until the matter is over." , I will definitely come to fulfill my wish.”
The female crown took a few steps, seemed a little embarrassed, thought for a moment and said: "You also know that I am an outsider and do not participate in the mortal world. It's just that Mr. Zhao has an old relationship with me, so he hesitated."
"However, my Taoist sect is outside the world, but it pays attention to fate. There is one thing about me that you can explain. It is fate. I protect her from being harmed by others. What do you think?"
"That's the way it is."
Pei Ziyun responded without changing his expression, but Ye Suer's face turned a little pale, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
"Well, I have been living in this peach garden for several years. But the day before yesterday, an old friend visited me. He liked it very much when he saw the beauty of my peach garden, but he hated the name of my garden. He said, since it is outside the world, why is the name of the garden like this? It smells bad, but I have loved peach blossoms since I was a child, and I don’t want to change the word peach blossom, and I also want to die in this world. You are a scholar, so since you are asking me, if you can understand it, I will grant your request."
"The theme is peach blossom, and it has to go out of the world!" Pei Ziyun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Peach blossom, peach blossom."
If it were the original owner, he would be in a dilemma. Now, after taking a few steps, Pei Ziyun remembered that there was a river near the Taoist temple. A flash of lightning flashed through his heart, and a thought came to his mind. He couldn't help but laugh: "Taoist priest, go get paper, ink, pen, and inkstone. This is easy to hear." , I already have an idea."
When Nu Guan heard this, she was a little surprised. She glanced at Pei Ziyun and saw that he was confident. She believed him a little and smiled: "It seems that the young master is confident. His pen, ink, paper and inkstone are inside. Please come in."
Entering the courtyard, we saw the main hall of the Taoist temple inside. The ground was paved with bluestone slabs, and some tender green grass grew in the gaps between the bluestone slabs. There was a small door on the right, and the wing verandah, although not very big, was very unique. It should be This is the crown jewel's residence.
There is a table in the verandah on the right, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it. It turns out that this female crown got up early and was practicing pen and ink and copying scriptures.
Pei Ziyun went up, picked up a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, pondered for a while, then revised a few words and wrote.
... Fishing is my occupation, and I am walking along a stream, forgetting the distance of the road. Suddenly I come across a peach blossom forest, which is hundreds of steps along the bank. There are no trees in the middle, the grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. It is very strange for fishermen. Going forward again, I want to exhaust the forest.
When the forest ends and the water source is reached, there is a mountain with a small mouth, as if there is light... Looking for the desired direction, I get lost and can no longer find the road... After that, no one cares about it.
After finishing writing, he wrote three big characters on a piece of white paper: "Peach Blossom Spring"
Putting down the pen: "Master, can I give this article this name?"
"Peach Garden, Peach Blossom Spring."
At this moment, Nu Guan was stunned for a long time, savoring the meaning, and laughed heartily: "You are indeed a good student of Mr. Zhao. Such spirituality is almost Taoist. I love this garden very much. I will protect your green plums."
Pei Ziyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw her pick up the paper and read it carefully, she seemed a little crazy and didn't care about him anymore. Moreover, this was a female crown and it was not easy to stay too long. Pei Ziyun said a few words to Ye Su'er. , and quit.
After leaving the Taoist temple, Pei Ziyun secretly called out: "System!"
Suddenly, a small white plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.

"Mission 1: Rescue Ye Su'er (completed), receive permission, the first plum blossom (virtual)!"
"Task 2: To be admitted as a scholar."
"Is this permission?"
"It seems that the original owner has suffered a lot and has made a lot of progress. This Plum Blossom Spiritual Treasure will be transferred step by step according to the completion of the task." Pei Ziyun looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly remembered the original owner's memory. After a brief absence, he ordered: "Get it!"
A stream of warmth appeared, and then a little red petal appeared between the eyebrows. It was only faintly transparent and did not look real.
