Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.

In addition to regular lectures and study, intermediate and high-level disciples of Shangqing Sect Lin'an Branch need to complete some tasks every month, called practical performance points. There are many types of these tasks, ranging from treating people's diseases and removing evil spirits to searching for people and treasures, to praying for blessings and exorcising ghosts. Some of these tasks are entrusted by individuals, and some are assigned by the court, and the rewards vary. However, for the disciples of Lin'an branch, these tasks are much more interesting than the boring study activities, and the tasks are often well-paid. Even if they are commissioned by farmers in the countryside, they will earn little money. But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh. Besides, the disciples are not interested in drinking.

During every class break, many disciples always gathered in front of the task board. Most of them are middle and low-level disciples. Although mid-level students have merit-point missions, they do not have the authority to accept missions independently. They can only wait and see in front of their favorite missions, waiting for high-level disciples to take over the missions, and then apply to join the team. The low-level disciples were just watching to satisfy their greed.

"Look, there is a man who gives a hundred taels of gold to people to dispel evil spirits. What kind of wealthy family is this?"

"Don’t even look at it, that’s a commission from the Shen Mansion! This is the residence of Shen Fuchang, the Minister of Household Affairs. He is so rich that a hundred taels of gold is not a drop in the bucket for him?"

"I don’t know which senior brother will take over this task. This is a fat job!

Someone sneered and said,"Which senior brother you choose has nothing to do with you. You are a low-level person and you are not qualified to join the team." The man blushed and stopped talking. Another round-faced boy next to him smiled shamelessly and said,"What's this? Just take a look." But let me tell you, this is not the most beautiful job."

The people around me became interested."Oh? So which one do you think it is?"

The round-faced boy pointed narrowly at a notice at the bottom. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, showing puzzled looks.

"What's this? A little-known little band in the north of the city was still on a missing person mission, and the reward was not clearly stated."Some tasks will require a remuneration interview, and most of these tasks either have shady content, or the client doesn't have much money and hopes to use other things to compensate. And the content of this task has been clearly stated, it is to find a person, so the only possibility is that the client can It’s possible that he can’t afford the reward. Besides, the missing person task is the most troublesome of all tasks, and it’s also the easiest to cause complications. The round-faced boy chuckled and said,"Take a closer look at this address."

Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a street in the north of the city. It seemed like there was nothing special about it.

Suddenly, someone came to his senses. With a tone of joking and surprise, he softly shouted:"Beiliu Lane, that's Beili! And I remember that Beiliu Lane is right next to Jiaofangsi? Could it be the musician and dancer from Jiaofangsi?"

"exactly! Beili Fireworks Land is a place where beauties are born~ Not to mention the music studio under the name of Jiaofangsi, where there must be many talented and beautiful women. So what if you have no money? Money can’t buy a beautiful smile!"The round-faced boy said excitedly.

Everyone let out a cry of realization, and there was a malicious joke hidden in the cry.

"Okay, Liang You, you don’t learn well!

The round-faced boy, Liang You, chuckled and said,"It's all because of the good teaching from my senior brothers!""

While everyone was joking and joking, a girl strolled up to the task board, glanced briefly, and her eyes rested on the missing person's commission. Without thinking, she reached out to reveal the Lefang missing person's commission.

Liang You caught a glimpse of the young girl's face from the corner of his eye, and came up to reveal the commission he was optimistic about. He quickly grabbed the girl's hand. Liang You originally thought it was a girl about his age, but when he grabbed the hand and took a look, he discovered the girl's immature appearance. She seemed to be a year or two younger than him, so she said:"Junior sister, this commission cannot be revealed."

This girl is Zhong Wanling. Zhong Wanling is not tall among her peers, and she has a baby face. Coupled with her usually even-tempered temperament, it is really difficult to guess her age. Zhong Wanling looks at her. The boy holding his hand frowned

"Why? Zhong Wanling frowned and asked the middle-level junior in front of her.

This is not the first time Zhong Wanling has accepted a task, but she usually takes it when she remembers it, but most of the time she has a curfew when she remembers it. And this time it was because Zhong Wanling was recently obsessed with"entering" the high-end library at night, and she accidentally forgot about her grades for this month. She had no choice but to come and pick one at random. Naturally,

Liang You didn't know that the person in front of her looked younger than him. The girl was Zhong Wanling, and she persuaded her nicely:"Junior sister, only high-level senior brothers can accept the commissions on this mission board. We can't accept them casually. You and your brother wait nearby, maybe there will be some senior brothers. Invite you to join the team?"

Ever since Zhong Wanling stopped attending lectures, she has been studying alone, in the library or in the cafeteria or dormitory. Over time, she has become more or less prone to sleeping around the clock and being out at night. Except for the high-level disciples who will take on tasks and do research with her, Hefuzi, few people in the college have seen her. Even if they have heard rumors about her and know that there is such a person, it is difficult to connect the well-behaved, quiet and beautiful girl in front of him with the cursed problem student.

Zhong Wanling blinked Blinking, he slowly took out a small jade plaque from his sleeve, hung it on his fingertips and waved it in front of Liang You's eyes.

Liang You looked at it intently and froze. On this small jade plaque was the emblem of the Qing Dynasty. The word"上" in seal script was clearly hollowed out above the dark pattern. Liang You gave up in a hurry as if he had caught a poisonous snake by mistake.

"puff."Someone chuckled and supported Liang You who was almost frightened and fell.

Liang You turned around and saw that this man was tall and tall. His eyebrows were still childish, but he already had a majestic air. Liang You knew this man. This man was Nan Tian. A direct descendant of the Pavilion, he is also one of the famous high-level disciples of the Lin'an Branch Pavilion - Mu Xiaochuan. This person is among the best in this branch in terms of talent and physique. Influenced by the Nantian Pavilion's main family, he is very humble and friendly, and is very popular. Okay, but he is a bit rigid. His fellow disciples secretly called him Ci Luo Han.

Mu Xiaochuan smiled gently at Zhong Wanling and said with a hint of joking:"It's rare to meet Junior Sister Zhong here so early. I'm afraid Junior Sister will be here again." Have you forgotten this month’s grade points?"

A blush of embarrassment flashed across Zhong Wanling's face.

Hearing"Junior Sister Zhong", Liang You also guessed who the sweet and handsome girl in front of him was. Liang You quickly ducked behind Mu Xiaochuan, He secretly looked at this troubled girl who was about the same age as him, but was causing headaches to the whole hospital. The people around him dispersed a little when they heard these three words, and they watched in small groups pretending to be fine.

Mu Xiaochuan ignored the fears of others and walked straight to Zhong Wanling. He smiled and took out the commission from her hand,"Let me see."……"However, after seeing the contents of the letter of appointment, Mu Xiaochuan couldn't help but frown, and said softly:"Junior Sister, it would be better to change the mission.""

"Brother Mu, do you think I am not qualified for this commission? Mu

Xiaochuan heard the displeasure in Zhong Wanling's words and said,"Junior sister Bingxue is smart and talented, so trivial matters like these are naturally not a problem." It's just the client……"When the words came to his lips, Mu Xiaochuan suddenly found it difficult to speak. He knew how powerful this girl was, but after all, she was still just a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl who didn't know much about the world. How could she be tainted by those dirty things about fireworks and willow alleys?

Zhong Wanling really didn't know anything about this. Seeing Mu Xiaochuan's face that was hard to explain, he asked in confusion:"Is there something wrong with this client?"

Mu Xiaochuan blushed, hesitated for a moment, and whispered softly. :"Junior sister, the north is Hualiu Lane, where men go to have fun."

Zhong Wanling was startled, with a blush of embarrassment on his face, and muttered:"So what, if someone is missing, someone should trace it."

Mu Xiao Chuan's face became redder and redder. He didn't know how to explain to his junior sister, so he could only lower his voice and say:"When ordinary people disappear, they will naturally report it to the centurion of their residence or household registration, and the city inspection department will entrust it. Let Lefang report it. The entrustment was not even entrusted by his superior Jiaofangsi... The missing person is probably a lowly person, uh, a dancing and singing girl or something."

Zhong Wanling's expression changed. She understood what Mu Xiaochuan meant. The other party was missing. The person is most likely a prostitute.

After a long while, Zhong Wanling took out the commission from Mu Xiaochuan with a pale face, and said plainly but extremely firmly:"Then I should take over this task." She held the power of attorney tightly in her hand, and she was so strong that even The special paper was crumpled by her.

Mu Xiaochuan took a deep look at Zhong Wanling and sighed:"Then I will go with you." Zhong Wanling frowned, but before she could refute, Mu Xiaochuan stopped her words and said:"Don't worry She refused. Some things are difficult to handle alone. What a woman can do in Beili is very limited, you need a man to help you."

Zhong Wanling closed her mouth, she knew that what Mu Xiaochuan said was right.

The two took the power of attorney and went aside to register for a while before leaving. The activity in front of the task board did not resume until the two left.

Someone pushed Liang You, who was worried, and said teasingly:"Hey Liang You, your favorite mission has been taken away. Why don't you hurry up and apply to join the team?"

Liang You glared in disgust. He glanced at the man and cursed:"That man is Zhong Wanling! The other one is Ci Deluohan. Do you want to be an ascetic in their team?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Early the next morning, Zhong Wanling changed into a men's round-neck robe and simply tied up her hair. She looked like a young man of about ten years old. Together with Mu Xiaochuan, they hired a carriage and went straight to the place where the power of attorney was written. Write the address.

Mu Xiaochuan thoughtfully handed a bag of rice cakes to Zhong Wanling, and Zhong Wanling picked it up and ate it without hesitation. As Mu Xiaochuan drove the car, he was troubled in his heart. He couldn't help but confirm again:"Do you really want to take this case, junior sister?"

Zhong Wanling drank soy milk and chewed rice cakes, nodded, and responded vaguely through the car curtain.

Mu Xiaochuan sighed and expressed his guess:"The missing girl must have run away. It may not be a good thing if we find her back."

Zhong Wanling stopped to swallow and said nothing.

Mu Xiaochuan had no choice but to continue:"Although dancing, music, silk and bamboo are pleasing to people. But over there... some convict women who are implicated by their husbands, fathers and brothers will be sent to the Jiaofang Department. Those women are glamorous and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Look, It looks enviable, but in fact it is just a plaything of the rich and powerful, and will always be a lowly slave."

Zhong Wanling's eyes darkened, she knew that Mu Xiaochuan was talking about"official prostitution."
