Chapter 128 Disciple
Li Jisi touched the threshold of the Qi-Watching Hall, but Pan Yun touched a tall, solid and thick wall. She had questions in her mind and she couldn't help but express them, so Wang Feiyin bumped into Pan Yun right after he sent Xiao Cui's family of four away.

Pan Jun grinned at him, "Big Brother~~"

Wang Feiyin pushed her face away and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't get so close. Why did I hear that you accepted a disciple?"

"You are only my disciple for one day, just consider it as a day of doing good deeds," Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "This matter is not worth mentioning, but Senior Brother, how come you still know Xiao Cui?"

"I know a lot of people. Don't you see that I am a few years older than you?" Wang Feiyin paused and explained Xiao Cui's background to her. "She is from Xiahe Village. Her husband died when the child was three years old."

"She had a hard life. Her husband's family wanted to take her property and even wanted to use her life to exchange for a chastity memorial. Her family wanted her to remarry and exchange the betrothal gift again, but she refused to do so and just wanted to raise her child alone."

Pan Yun: "What does this have to do with Taoist priests and monks? I think she doesn't like Taoist priests and monks."

"In order to force her to submit, the Luo family and the He family invited many monks, Taoist priests, and nuns to intervene in those two years. Some said she would bring bad luck to her husband, some said she would bring bad luck to her children, and some even tried to persuade her to marry a rich man again. Anyway, they used all kinds of threats and inducements," Wang Feiyin paused and said, "There was also a wandering fake Taoist priest who wanted to force her and kidnapped her directly, so she hated Taoist priests and monks very much."

"Then you..."

"I'm different," Wang Feiyin said, "I'm a good and decent Taoist priest with a certificate of ordination. She is quite friendly to the Taoist priests in my Sanqing Mountain. You can just tell her your name later."

After a moment of silence, Pan Yun asked, "Big Brother, is it because of her worship of the master that she has such bad luck?"

"Of course not," Wang Feiyin said, "Although our master is very unlucky, it only affects his disciples, not his followers."

"At most, I was powerless and unable to help them when they got into trouble, but that was their fate. How can I blame Master for his bad luck?"

Pan Yun murmured: "This is how miserable the world is. This is too tragic..."

Wang Feiyin said coldly: "Everyone in the world suffers. She has her own sufferings, and others have their own sufferings. We can only help when we see it. It is up to you to overcome the tribulation."

Pan Jun was silent and stopped talking.

Wang Feiyin glanced at her and said, "You are so young, don't think too much about these issues, just concentrate on your cultivation. Are you really only going to accept your disciple for one day? I just took a look and he has good talent. It would be a good idea to have him as your disciple."

"Big Brother?"

Wang Feiyin started to think and changed the subject: "I'm hungry. I have to go buy something to eat. What do you want to eat?"

Pan Yun: "I have already eaten it. I am going to teach my apprentice. I think I have a good eye and I will be able to make him learn well and become a master within three days."

Wang Feiyin sneered.

Pan Yun turned around and taught Li Jisi, and also taught him the internal energy method of regulating breathing.

He was indeed talented. After a few lessons, he touched the threshold and was better than her two brothers.

She also gave Pan Yue and Pan Yu a book on internal energy and swordsmanship, and studied it carefully. After she had mastered the skills thoroughly, she taught them in letters.

But her father and she had exchanged letters twice, and Pan Hong had not mentioned in any of his letters that they had made any progress in martial arts.

It can be seen that there are differences in talents between people.

Li Jisi understands things quickly.

Pan Yun couldn't help but want to accept him as his disciple, so he asked tentatively, "Do you want to be my disciple forever?"

Li Jisi was shocked. After a moment of silence, he said carefully: "Master, once a teacher, you are always a mother. In my heart, you will always be my master. It's just that I am old and I am afraid that I can't be a poor lay Buddhist in the mountains, so I..."

"I understand, you don't want to," Pan Yun patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you."

Pan Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was not ready to accept a disciple.

Although they didn't become a long-term master-disciple relationship in the end, Pan Yun still taught him seriously until the party was over and everyone went home.

The master and disciple agreed to continue tomorrow.

Miao He Miao Zhen and Tao Yanbai were also ready, and took turns the next day. One taught him how to read people's expressions, and the other taught him how to secretly feel people's pulse while reading their palms in order to judge their physical condition, and then to determine their birth and experience.

Miao Zhenze and Pan Yun took turns teaching him the internal energy techniques and how to use the internal energy techniques to observe the Qi.

The four of them didn't care whether Li Jisi could learn it or not, they just kept teaching him. Li Jisi found a notebook and a small pen today, and he listened with his ears perked up and took notes quickly.

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He may not understand it thoroughly now, but if he writes it down and thinks about it several times, maybe he will learn it thoroughly?
Pan Yun was moved by his diligent and serious spirit of study, and she was also inspired to study. She took out the notes she had taken in the previous class and read them over. She really understood something new. The new apprentice not only paid the tuition, but also gave her new insights. Pan Yun was really reluctant to let him go, so she asked him again, "Are you really not going to be my apprentice for a long time?"

After three days of getting along, Li Jisi already knew that Pan Yun was a straightforward and decisive person who didn't like to argue, so he said directly: "Master, you will always be my master, but I have seen the prosperity of the secular world. I learn the art of looking at qi to make money and live a better life. I dare not even think about pursuing the great way like you masters, and I will never think about it, so I can't live a hard life in the mountains. If you let me go up the mountain to practice Taoism, I might rebel in less than three months."

"So in order to avoid a rift between master and disciple, I'd better reject you early on."

Pan Yun's heart moved, and he said, "You like the prosperity of the secular world so much, my nephew has a caravan..."

Li Jisi still shook his head. "Although I like money, I also like freedom. I spend whatever I earn wherever I go. I really don't like being restricted."

Pan Yun felt like he had met a bosom friend. He patted his shoulder and said, "My disciple, these are all my thoughts. Wait, I will give you a copy of my cultivation notes in a moment."

Li Jisi's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Although I can't live a carefree and wealthy life like you, I can support you. Seeing you live a good life is the fulfillment of my wish."

Pan Jun rummaged around in the spiritual realm, took out his notes and stuffed them into his hands. "I have only one wish, and I hope you can fulfill it for me."

Li Jisi held the notebook tightly, his eyes filled with tears, "Master, please tell me."

"In the future, just do good things. If believers ask you about your master, you must say that you are a disciple of Pan Yun, the little disciple of the Sanqing Mountain God. If they want to burn incense, remember to burn it to your master or your master."

Li Jisi nodded, "Master, don't worry. I only ask for money, not incense. As long as I learn the skills, I will not be beaten or scolded for not being accurate in the future. I will definitely let them burn incense for you and your master."

"My dear disciple, there will always be twists and turns in the beginning when you are learning a skill. If you don't understand something, you can write to me and ask me. Give me an address where I can contact you, and I will answer your questions. With me here, I will definitely help you succeed soon."

Li Jisi agreed and tugged at the notebook. When it didn't move, he looked up at her, "Master?"

"One more thing. If you make a mistake in your calculations or do something bad, you must not report the name of your master or your master's grandfather. Do you understand?"

Li Jisi: "Master, rest assured. I will take full responsibility for any bad things and will never involve you or your ancestors."

"Good disciple." Pan Jun then let go of his hand and let him take the notebook.

Pan Yun thought about it, and took out the purse he gave her the day before, tore it open, and grabbed a handful of copper coins and banknotes from it and gave it to him. "It's not good to be poor or rich when you are away from home without any money. Take this money."

Li Jisi was so grateful that he burst into tears, "Master~~"

Merit +1
Pan Yun insisted on stuffing the money into his hand, "Take it, don't use Baochao in the future. Last time I went to the county town, I could exchange one tael of this stuff for 950 copper coins, but this time I can only exchange it for 890. The credibility is too bad. In the future, use copper coins if you can. If not, you can exchange it for silver notes from other banks."

In this era, private banks were more credible than the imperial banks.

Merit +1
Pan Jun began to search his pockets and took out a peace amulet for him. "Here, this is the amulet. I drew it for you and blessed it in front of the Three Pure Ones. You can carry it with you to keep yourself safe."

Merit +1
Pan Jun felt a little toothache and looked up at him. This kid was really good. He taught him with great effort for three days, but he didn't get any merit points. However, he got some merit points by giving him some small favors before leaving.

Pan Yun thought about it and took out a thunder talisman and gave it to him. "This is a thunder talisman. You may not need it, but take it. If you encounter evil spirits or danger, tear it up and chant the name of Thunder Ancestor. Maybe it can save your life."

Li Jisi accepted it and continued to cry.

Merit +1
As time went by, Pan Yun suddenly lost interest in taking advantage of him. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Go now. You have to do good things and not be a bad person."

The playful smile on Li Jisi's face also disappeared. He stood up, knelt down in front of Pan Yun, and kowtowed respectfully, "Disciple bids farewell to Master."

Merit +100
Pan Yun's eyes were filled with tears. She held him tightly and said excitedly and happily, "Good disciple, get up quickly."

These three days were not wasted.

Li Jisi went to bid farewell to the other three "masters". Of course, he would not call them masters, because they were of the same generation, so he called them senior brothers and sisters.

Miao and Miaozhen were both reluctant to leave. It was their first time teaching apprentices and they had gained a lot, so they were still reluctant to leave Li Jisi.

"But all good things must come to an end. Not just between him and us, but even between us, one day it will end." Miao Zhen didn't even wait for Li Jisi to comfort her. She figured it out on her own and comforted Miao He instead, "If you accept a disciple in the future, he will leave you, even if he is your own child."

Pan Yun: "That's right. In this world, you are the one who accompanies yourself in the end. So it's just one person leaving, right? If he leaves, he leaves."

It was as if I wasn’t the one feeling regretful and sad just now.
