After the sword bone was taken away, the reborn elder sister went crazy killing
Chapter 20: A Strange Town and a Strange Old Lady
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me."
After Pei Zhiyi accepted the task, he left the mission hall and did not notice the thoughtful gaze behind him.
"Innate Sword Body, interesting."
There was only a flash of clarity in Elder Hun Dun's eyes for a moment, and then he fell asleep hugging his wine gourd.
The disciple tidied up, shook his head helplessly, and skillfully covered the elder with a blanket.
Pei Zhiyi took the task and left the academy, reading the task information along the way.
Overall, the reason why it is called a task to be avoided is, firstly, because the reward is too low, and secondly, this task looks no different from trivial family matters, so generally no disciples would be willing to take a second look at it.
After all, completing the task does not earn you any spirit stones or growth, so it can be said that there is no gain at all.
The mission location is a small border town west of the royal capital.
A couple had a child in their old age. They originally hoped that the child would either have a talent for cultivation or a talent for studying and taking the imperial examinations. At worst, it would be nice to have a virtuous wife and mother to carry on the family line.
Unexpectedly, this child not only had no talent for cultivation, but was also a complete mess in his studies. What made the couple even more upset was that the child had recently fallen in love with another man and insisted that he would not marry anyone else. He seemed like he was possessed by a demon.
Originally, family disgrace should not be made public, but later a cultivator came to the family and said that the couple's child was originally quite normal, but became like this because he was possessed by an evil spirit.
However, this cultivator was not capable enough to solve this problem for them, so they turned to the Jiantian Academy in the royal capital for help, hoping that the powerful disciples in the academy could help them solve the problem of the wronged soul.
The academy's mission for ordinary people has always been to provide charity, so naturally no one paid any attention to it.
"It's quite interesting to watch."
Qilin and Bai Ze couldn't understand it anyway, but seeing that Pei Zhiyi was interested, they also became interested.
"Yiyi, can't men like men?"
Pei Zhiyi was silent. This was a good question.
"Let's not talk about whether the truth of this matter is as described in the mission information, but I think that liking someone has nothing to do with anything else. Gender and age won't be reasons to stop you from liking someone, but the prerequisite is that you must be sure that you really like them, and not just doing it out of rebellion or some other kind of anger."
Pei Zhiyi didn't really understand. What he said now was all because he had a photographic memory of the books he had read before: "Secondly, whether you like someone or dislike someone, there may always be people who are dissatisfied. These people may be your relatives, your parents, so what you need to do is to make them understand you and recognize what you love."
After hearing this, Qilin and Bai Ze felt even more dizzy.
"Human emotions are so complicated."
Although Pei Zhiyi is also a human, he deeply agrees with the words of the two little ones, "Humans have seven emotions and six desires, love, hate, greed, anger, and so on. That's why we say human nature is complicated."
Qilin and Bai Ze said "oh", they didn't really want to understand.
Pei Zhiyi smiled and patted the two little ones' big heads. "If you don't want to understand, then don't understand. You two are like a piece of white rice paper now. It would be better if you could stay this clean and pure forever."
"Then Yiyi, don't think too much about it. You must also be clean and pure."
"Hmm," Pei Zhiyi didn't answer directly. "Okay, why bother talking about all this nonsense? Doing good things is the most important thing."
After flying on the sword for just half a day, they arrived at the town where the mission was to take place.
The town is not as prosperous as the capital, but it is also very lively.
"Have you heard? The kid from Old Zhou's family has gone crazy again."
"Has she gone crazy again?" Auntie became excited at the mention of this. "The day before yesterday, she was clamoring to go to the deep mountains and old forests to look for that man, but until now we still don't know what he looks like. How good-looking must he be to make Old Zhou's fair-skinned child like him so much? It's like he's possessed by a demon."
"Who knows? Old Zhou and his wife are really guilty. They prayed to the gods for so long and finally had a child in their old age, but in the end, the child still looks like this. I don't know which god they offended."
Pei Zhiyi listened for a while and didn't expect that the task owner was so famous in this small town.
"Hello, Auntie."
Pei Zhiyi walked over, and her pretty face made the aunt a little dazzled.
"Excuse me, Auntie, how do I get to this old Zhou family you mentioned?"
The old lady quickly came back to her senses, put away the beans in her hand, and kindly showed Pei Zhiyi the way, "It's just in the alley ahead, turn left and you'll arrive."
Pei Zhiyi nodded in thanks, "Thank you very much."
"Hey, little girl." The old lady pulled Pei Zhiyi aside. "I haven't seen you in this town before, but I heard that the Zhou family found a cultivator from that academy in the capital to solve their family's problems. Could you be a student from that academy?"
Is this known to everyone?
Pei Zhiyi could only nod and say, "I just came to take a look at the situation first. I don't know if I can help them solve it."
The aunt shook her head meaningfully and said, "Little girl, his family affairs are not easy to deal with. You must not get yourself involved."
"I understand. Thank you for reminding me."
Pei Zhiyi walked in the direction the aunt pointed. After he walked a little further away, he turned back to look at the aunt again, then curled his lips and smiled.
This small town is quite interesting.
When we arrived at the Zhou family’s door, we saw white curtains and white lanterns hanging all over the door. The cold wind was blowing, giving people a chilly feeling.
Qilin and Bai Ze quickly stuck close to Pei Zhiyi.
Pei Zhiyi didn't feel anything. They were all people who had waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the holy war, and this kind of thing seemed really insignificant to them.
"buckle"
Pei Zhiyi knocked on Zhou's door.
"Who?"
The door opened with a creaking sound. The hunched old lady slowly raised her head, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes when she looked at Pei Zhiyi.
"I wonder if the young lady is asking for tea or directions?"
Pei Zhiyi took a look at the scene inside the house. It was completely different from the outside. Big red lanterns were hung high inside, and the house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, as if a new hall was being decorated.
"Of course I'm here to help you get rid of your wronged soul."
The old lady trembled, not knowing whether it was a kind reminder or a warning: "Little girl, this is not something you can handle. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, he prepared to close the door.
Pei Zhiyi stretched out his hand to hold the door open. "Then just treat me as a passerby and come in to ask for a cup of tea."
The old lady's eyes suddenly became sharp, but she didn't stop him. She just turned around and walked inside.
"The food in this small town is just plain and simple, I hope you won't mind it, young lady."
"Of course not."
When Pei Zhiyi entered, the door behind him closed automatically with a loud noise.
"Mom, are there guests coming?"
