Certain memories are either good or bad for Pei Yunshu, but he is the only one who can decide whether to keep or discard these memories.
The part of memory that Zhu You unlocked was exactly the part that was missing when he left his master.
After recovering these memories, Pei Yunshu was absent-minded for a moment before he stood up. He didn't care how he and Zhu You were lying on the same bed. He said to Zhu You with a serious face: "Zhu You, have all my memories been unlocked?"
Zhu You shook his head.
Pei Yunshu said word by word: "You must untie them all for me."
Zhu You lay on his side, stroked his hair, and nodded.
Pei Yunshu took a deep breath and began to stretch his hands, "Since I have made this decision, I will not be affected."
"I'm very strong," he nodded and looked at Zhu You expectantly, "I'm very powerful, right?"
Zhu You nodded seriously.
"Then there's nothing to worry about," Pei Yunshu curved his eyes, "What happened in the past is in the past. I really can't think of anything more outrageous than Second Senior Brother... killing Hua Yue. Since I have severed my relationship with the sect, and I have never done anything to let the sect down, there's no need for me to worry about it, right?"
Zhu You nodded, let go of his hair, and started to pull the clothes off Pei Yunshu's shoulders.
The round and smooth shoulders were exposed, but Pei Yunshu was in high spirits at the moment and completely ignored Zhu You's hint. He glanced at Zhu You angrily, then jumped off the bed with ease and joy.
The sun was shining brightly outside, illuminating the white snow on the ground. Pei Yunshu leaned against the window and took a few breaths of the cool air. He had been extremely nervous before the memory was solved, but now he felt more open-minded.
I have overcome my inner demons, so what do these things matter
Pei Yunshu raised the corner of his lips, and with a glance, he saw Master Qingfeng standing in the yard sweeping snow.
Young Master Qingfeng seemed to have noticed his gaze. He stopped and looked over here, but saw only an empty window.
Young Master Qingfeng pursed his lips, stared at the window for a long while, and then continued to sweep the snow.
Pei Yunshu hid behind the window and sighed. He thought it would be better not to meet Master Qingfeng now.
Because what was said last night was really hurtful.
*
Just as Huayue said, Master Qingfeng clearly felt that Pei Yunshu had become much more distant from him.
If you can avoid meeting, then don't meet. If necessary, just be polite. The relationship, which was not close to begin with, became much more distant in an instant.
Pei Yunshu was sitting at the table drinking tea and talking with others. When Young Master Qingfeng walked over, he just looked up and pretended not to see Young Master Qingfeng, and continued with what he had not finished.
After Master Qingfeng sat down, Pei Yunshu would find a few excuses to leave.
Pei Yunshu was so considerate that he didn't even give people who hated him the chance to see him or talk to him.
Such thoughtfulness should be very satisfying to someone who really hates him.
But Young Master Qingfeng seemed a little distracted.
Seeing him like this, Hua Yue was still confused, "Don't you dislike Lady Yunshu? Look, Lady Yunshu doesn't show up when you show up in order to make you feel comfortable."
"Little fox, stop talking," Baili Ge shook his head helplessly. "It's a good thing that you have nothing to do today, so take Yunshu and Zhuyou out for a walk. It's a good opportunity for them to see what the place we have lived in for more than two months looks like."
Hua Yue's eyes lit up and she ran out of the yard to find Pei Yunshu.
After hearing what he meant, Pei Yunshu said honestly: "Zhu You is still lying in bed."
Hua Yue: "Is Lord Zhu You so lazy?"
"Maybe he's hibernating," Pei Yunshu said, and then he laughed, "Just let him sleep, and you can take me out to take a look."
Hua Yue nodded very quickly, as if she was afraid that Pei Yunshu would regret it, and pulled Pei Yunshu out of the door. It was just after the New Year, and there were very few people outside. Pei Yunshu and Hua Yue walked on the snow all the way, and didn't see many people.
After walking a few steps, Pei Yunshu suddenly felt a spiritual consciousness coming towards him. This spiritual consciousness was extremely obscene, enveloping him from all directions, carrying an extremely uncomfortable dark aura.
Pei Yunshu frowned, stopped Hua Yue, who knew nothing about it, behind him, and used his spiritual sense to fight against this force without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, this spiritual consciousness was completely shattered by him and dissipated in the air.
Pei Yunshu turned his head to Huayue and said, "Huayue, go back to find Zhuyou and Bailige, tell them that there is an evil spirit nearby, and ask them to follow me."
He took out a few paper cranes from his storage bag, one followed Huayue, and the others followed him to lead the way for Zhuyou and the others. After saying this, without waiting for Huayue's reaction, Pei Yunshu disappeared in a flash.
Hua Yue gasped and hurried back home to call the ancestor and Lord Zhu You.
*
The evil aura really made Pei Yunshu extremely uncomfortable. The feeling of being spied on was deep in his bones. He must have done many unscrupulous bad things. When encountering such an evil spirit, he must destroy it.
Pei Yunshu chased it all the way, and the evil spirit kept running. Pei Yunshu chased it and came to a ruined temple.
He immediately decided to surround the dilapidated temple with a barrier and search for the source of the evil spirit.
After a while, the thousand paper cranes beside him suddenly flew up. Pei Yunshu turned around to look and found that Zhu You and others had already come over under the guidance of the thousand paper cranes.
"You're here," Pei Yunshu broke the barrier to let them in, frowned and asked, "Did you sense any evil spirits on the way?"
Zhu You said: "No."
"It's strange," Pei Yunshu said, "That consciousness doesn't look like a good one. When it set its sights on me, I could sense its desire for me."
"It must be that he wants to eat you to improve his cultivation," Bailige's face sank, "Some things are just so reckless."
Pei Yunshu followed them and searched for the presence of evil spirits around the ruined temple. "It's quite a coincidence that you have lived here for two months and no evil spirits have come to visit you, but it's only been the second day since I came here, and I have already met an evil spirit that wants to eat me when I go out."
Zhu You asked curiously, "Eat you?"
Pei Yunshu was about to nod, but suddenly his mind turned and he thought of something. He glared at Zhu You and snorted, "Don't talk."
Zhu You frowned and shut up with an unhappy look on his face.
There was no problem in front of the ruined temple, so they walked into it. Pei Yunshu had sharp senses, and in the darkness, he suddenly felt a tiny spiritual consciousness reaching out to him. He mercilessly grabbed the spiritual consciousness and pulled it hard, and heard a shrill scream.
The talisman paper on Pei Yunshu's hand burst into flames, illuminating the surroundings. A strange black gas was tumbling and struggling in it. Pei Yunshu frowned, watching the wisp of spiritual consciousness disappear completely.
His face turned slightly cold, "This evil spirit is targeting me, who have I offended?"
The flame in his hand gradually died down, and Baili Ge said: "First pull this up by the roots. If the goal is really you, it should follow you."
Pei Yunshu subconsciously thought of the imperial palace.
Could it be that he had removed the ring that the emperor wore in his dream, so the monster wanted to take revenge on him
*
In the general's mansion, inside the ancestral hall.
The exquisitely carved jade statue of the immortal suddenly broke into pieces, and the black gas in the statue dispersed into the air.
The general stood aside with his hands behind his back. The butler beside him knelt down in fear and trepidation, "Sir, this, this..."
"The ability of the immortal is even more powerful than the dragon energy of the True Dragon Emperor," the general accepted the result calmly, "After you go down, have someone carve a jade statue of the immortal for me."
"Yes," the butler said cautiously, "Do you still need the first portrait in your Excellency's study?"
The general said, "Use the third one, and make it according to that portrait. The previous ones still have some flaws."
Butler: “Yes.”
The general went forward and picked up a piece of the jade statue. On it was a pair of eyes. The general looked at the eyes for a long time and sighed, "Even if I put all my heart and soul into painting, even if the person you find is a world-famous master, he can't carve one thousandth of his."
The butler wiped the sweat off his head and said, "General, you are right. No matter how good your painting skills are or how exquisite your craftsmanship is, you can't paint the myriad graces of an immortal. But once you succeed, you won't have to worry about improving your painting skills by looking at the immortal every day."
The general laughed a few times before saying, "You are right."
He said, "Prepare a bottle of osmanthus wine. I am going to the palace to ask for its help."
The butler bent down and said, "Yes."

Pei Yunshu and others turned the dilapidated temple upside down. Apart from capturing a few wandering ghosts who couldn't find their way home, the entire temple was surprisingly clean.
They had to return home empty-handed, but when they got home, they saw a baby placed in a straw basket at their doorstep.
The baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes, crying weakly. It was unknown how long the baby had been left there in the snow and ice. His breath was weak, and it seemed like he would die at any moment.
Pei Yunshu exchanged a glance with the people around him, then quickly walked forward and carefully picked up the baby from the straw basket.
The baby's face turned blue and his lips turned purple due to the cold. His whole body was cold. Part of his lotus-root-like white arms had already broken free from the swaddling clothes and had been frozen to the point of being lifeless.
Pei Yunshu blocked the wind and said anxiously, "Go in quickly."
The people around him looked anxious. They closed the door and brought him into the room. They built braziers one by one. Hua Yue hurriedly went to find some milk and goat milk to heat them up, and then disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.
"It's bad. The breathing is weak. I'm afraid it won't survive." Baili Ge held the baby's hand. The baby's eyes were half open, but he subconsciously held Baili Ge's hand. Baili Ge showed a bit of sadness on his face. "Such a small baby, can it possibly withstand spiritual power?"
Pei Yunshu shook his head, took off the baby's icy cold swaddling clothes, and placed him in the soft and warm quilt.
But after doing all this, they didn't know what to do. They could only hurriedly touch the baby's forehead and wipe his lips and body with hot water.
Baili Ge clenched his fists. "It's really abominable. In such weather, they actually left such a small baby outside our door. Even if it's an abandoned baby, the person who abandoned it is really too hateful."
The baby was still crying weakly, his voice became hoarse, and his crying made people feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Hua Yue finally came, and he also brought a doctor with him. While the doctor was diagnosing the baby, Hua Yue heated up the borrowed milk and asked Pei Yunshu, who was next to the baby, to feed him.
The baby tasted the milk and stopped crying immediately. He opened his mouth wide and waved his arms in the air.
Only then did the people in the room breathe a sigh of relief and smile a little.
After the doctor made a detailed diagnosis, he said, "Don't let him catch a cold again. If he has a high fever tonight, boil these medicines into thick porridge for him to take. If it still doesn't work, come back to me as soon as possible."
Everyone who was listening nodded. The doctor looked around at them and understood. He sighed and said, "Is this child an abandoned baby?"
"Someone must have seen that your family is rich and couldn't afford to raise a child, so they abandoned him in front of your door," the doctor said with a wry smile, "Listen to me, now is the time to move to another place. Once you take in a child, you will find an abandoned baby in front of your door every day when you go out."
After the doctor left, Hua Yue closed the door. Several people watched Pei Yunshu feeding the baby, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Zhu You watched from the farthest distance for a long time. When the baby's hands and feet regained strength and took the initiative to grab the edge of Pei Yunshu's bowl and pull it down, he walked over, bent down and stood beside the bed, stretched out his fingertips, and carefully poked the baby's cheek.
It is extremely soft and fragile, yet very pink.
The baby was full and had strength again. He stopped crying and opened his eyes wide. The vision was clear and distinct, with black and white. He saw Zhu You's hand moving, and happily stretched out his little hand to grab Zhu You's fingers.
Her hand was so small that it couldn't even hold one of Zhu You's fingers.
Zhu You let him grab him blankly, then looked up at Pei Yunshu. Pei Yunshu smiled and said, "Zhu You, how do you feel?"
"…" Zhu You said, "It looks delicious."
The smile on Pei Yunshu's face froze.
