The woman noticed the embarrassment on Zhang Zheng's face and realized something, but she still wanted to fight for it.

"Zhidao Village has been around for tens of thousands of years, and generations have lived here, isolated from the rest of the world. The first gentleman came here to build a private school and teach Taoism. After he realized Taoism and became an immortal, his disciples took over his orders and continued to serve as subordinates of Zhidao Village.

A generation of gentlemen continues the inheritance in this way, and every gentleman who teaches Taoism for a hundred years will abdicate to make way for others."

The woman's eyes fell on the one hundred and thirty-nine shelves of ancient books in the house. The books on the shelves were clean and dust-free, and looked desolate and sad for no reason.

"It has been seventy-nine years since I took over the position of teacher, and I have not been able to find the next suitable teacher. After I leave a hundred years ago, who will be responsible for passing on the karma to the children of Zhidao Village and solving their doubts? The first teacher

I brought you here because I know that you are smart and eager to learn, and you are simple-minded. You can talk about everything you know, and you have the style of a gentleman. Therefore, I want to give you the surname of sir to take on my responsibility and be a good teacher for the children of Zhidao Village after I leave.

Give me another career."

A hundred years of teaching, but this world of mountains and seas can only be opened for a hundred years. She will also leave this world when the hundred years expires. How can she teach her children a hundred years of teaching?

Zhang Zheng cupped his hands and said apologetically: "Students don't dare to deceive Sir. I came here by fate to receive my teachings, but I will be leaving in a hundred years, so I really don't dare to take over Sir's position."

"Do you have to go?"

“Students don’t know that it is not up to them to decide whether to go or stay.”

Zhang Zheng answered truthfully, Elder Duan did not say whether they would be automatically sent out by the Shanhai Realm when the Shanhai Realm was closed. It would probably be the same as when they entered the country, so it was not her decision to stay or not.

The woman remained silent, her eyes as black as paint reflected the books in her eyes, "If I don't restrict you from leaving after a hundred years, then you can leave regardless of whether you have found the next husband or not. Would you like to take the surname of Mr.

?”

Zhang Zheng was a little hesitant. She didn't know whether she could take on the responsibility of preaching and teaching, let alone whether she could become a qualified teacher.

"In the world of mountains and seas, spiritual treasures of heaven and earth can be seen everywhere, and spiritual plants that last for thousands or ten thousand years are like overgrown weeds. Opportunities are easily available."

Elder Duan's words suddenly echoed in her mind. There are opportunities for spiritual treasures everywhere in the world of mountains and seas, but if she agrees to take up the position of teacher in Zhidao Village, she will miss all the opportunities for spiritual treasures. Is this really worth it?

For a moment, two voices clashed in Zhang Zheng's mind.

A voice said: "The treasures of heaven and earth, and the supreme opportunities are so close at hand, as long as you leave the village, you can get them at your fingertips. With the help of these opportunities, the road to Qingyun Immortal is one step closer."

Another voice retorted: "I came to the world of mountains and seas for the purpose of enlightenment. For me, the greatest opportunity is in Zhidao Village."

"It takes hundreds of years to gain karma and realize the Tao. Once you have completed your karma and solved your confusion, you can leave. You finally got the Order of Mountains and Seas. Do you want to be trapped in this small Zhidao Village for a hundred years?"

"After receiving the teacher's teachings and inheriting the teacher's style, how can you abandon the teacher's requests and ignore them? Isn't it ungrateful, unkind and unvirtuous, and where is the relationship between teachers and students!"

Zhang Zheng shook his head violently and suppressed the two voices arguing in his head.

You can be greedy, but you should not be greedy. You will receive peaches from others and repay others with gold.

Zhang Zheng bowed deeply, his eyes were clear and his voice was unwavering, "The student is willing to accept the responsibility of the teacher, but he is afraid that his virtue is not enough and he will not be able to take on the important responsibility."

The woman's smoky eyebrows stretched, and she took Zhang Zheng's hand to help her up, "On behalf of Zhidao Village, I would like to thank you. After you are crowned with the surname, I will slowly teach you the responsibilities of a husband. There are twenty-one more

Years, don't worry, there is still time, you will become an excellent gentleman."

"Sir, I already have a surname. It is inherited from an old friend. Without him, I would not be what I am now... Can I not change my surname?"

Zhang Zheng spoke awkwardly.

The woman showed her face and smiled softly, "Don't worry, this surname is a Taoist surname, and it is preceded by a Taoist name. It does not require you to change your surname. By the way, do you have a Taoist name?"

"Master has taken the Taoist name, Qing Zheng."

"Qing Zheng..." The woman pursed her lips lightly, biting these two words clearly, then suddenly raised her eyes, nodded and praised: "Zheng, Qing Ju and Qing Qing. This is a good name."

"I still have some books to sort out, so you can leave first. I will explain this to the village chief later and give you my surname in the ancestral land."

Zhang Zheng responded, respectfully left the private school, and closed the courtyard door.

Zhang Zheng was a little frightened when she suddenly had the burden of teaching students and solving doubts. She considered herself to be a dabbler in knowledge and not a good teacher, so she should not end up mistaking her disciples.

As she was thinking in panic, she suddenly heard a young voice calling her loudly.

"Sister Zhang Zheng! You are here!"

A girl of about eight or nine years old trotted up to her, with two full buns on her head.

Zhang Zheng stretched out her hand to gather the bun on her head and tied it tightly, and said with a smile: "What's going on? You want me to take you to catch loaches again?"

Huo Miaomiao raised her big black and white eyes and blinked: "No, I just saw the village chief leading two strangers to the village chief's house. The two strangers were wearing very strange clothes. The village chief put turbans on them, so they couldn't see their appearance, but one of the brothers seemed to have a sword on his waist."

He wears strange clothes and wears a sword at his waist.

Zhang Zheng lowered his eyes and looked thoughtfully at his simple gray and blue jacket and trousers made of kudzu thread.

When she woke up, she was outside the village, wearing this gray and blue geese dress. Her husband, the village chief, and a group of villagers surrounded her tightly.

Before she could explain why she came, the husband stepped out, helped her up from the ground, smiled broadly, and invited her into the village for a sip of herbal tea.

I learned from my husband that this is Zhidao Village, and she is a guest sent by the first husband, so the villagers will not drive her away. She can live freely in the village as long as she does not harm the village.

She expressed her purpose of coming to learn Taoism, and since then she has been living in a private school with her husband and going to school with the children in the village.

She had not forgotten that this was the realm of mountains and seas. Zhang Zheng's eyes flickered, and she had already made some guesses about these two strange visitors.

Nine times out of ten, they were monks from the outside. Zhang Zheng couldn't help but feel lucky that the village had forbidden spirits and consciousness, just like a mortal village, and the villagers lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Foreign monks are not allowed to use spiritual energy to cause chaos here to ensure the safety of the village.

But even if it's just physical strength, monks are much better than mortals.

Zhang Zheng wanted to go to the village chief to see him, but before she could find an excuse, Huo Miaomiao had already pulled the hem of her clothes and shook her coquettishly, handing her the excuse.

"I really want to see what they look like! Sister Zhang Zheng, the village chief really likes you. Can you take me in quietly to take a look? Just one look."

Zhang Zheng pretended to refuse, "No, the village chief will definitely criticize you if he finds out."

Huo Miaoxiao pouted, "I'm not afraid. Let's go quickly and don't ask anyone else to follow us. It's just the two of us. The village chief won't scold me."

"Please sister, please take me to have a look. I will hide behind you. When the village chief opens the door, I will quietly take a look and run away. Even if you don't look at me, run away quickly. I will definitely not harm Sister Zhang Zheng." !”

She held up two chubby fingers and swore seriously.

Zhang Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'll take you there. You can only take a look and then leave."
