Chapter 144 Ready to try
"Of course it's true, but the real master is not here, and the several deans can't make the decision, so they haven't sent anyone to invite him for the time being," Zhou Wang said, "But if the eldest brother's condition continues to deteriorate, even if the real master is not here, we have no choice but to send someone to invite him."

Pan Jun raised her eyebrows. No wonder they had been living such a peaceful life during this period. It turned out that they had a request for help from Mount Sanqing.

but……

Zhang Tianshi knew that his only son was dying of illness. Were the Tianshi Mansion and the Imperial Academy still arguing over whether to invite a more powerful doctor?

To Pan Yun's surprise, Zhang Liuzhen lived in Fanxiyuan, not far from Fengqiyuan.

Fanxiyuan is not only a place for students to live, but also a place for study, but Pan Yun has never been here and has no classes scheduled here.

So as soon as she entered Fanxiyuan, she couldn't help but look around.

Seeing her curiosity, Zhou Wangdao explained, "The eldest brother is the head of Fanxiyuan. It used to be a place for discussing Taoism and studying the law, but then the eldest brother fell ill, so Fanxiyuan was closed. They just renovated a building and turned it into a library."

"Big Brother, please move back to Tianshi Mansion. This place is used to store books and sundries," Zhou Wang said. "No one is here all year round, so the atmosphere is a bit turbid. Originally, Second Uncle wanted Big Brother to move to the guest house of Chongqing Courtyard, but Big Brother disagreed and insisted on moving back to Fanxi Courtyard."

Pan Jun nodded, secretly memorized it in his heart, and looked up at the second floor, "Does the eldest brother live upstairs?"

Zhou Wangdao looked up following her gaze and said with a smile, "No."

The moment he looked up, Pan Jun loosened his grip, and Pan Xiaohei in his arms fell to the ground and disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Wangdao immediately turned his head to look over.

Pan Jun didn't expect that even though he had covered it up, Pan Xiaohei was so slow that he still found out.

Zhou Wangdao chased for two steps before being stopped by Pan Yun. "Don't worry, brother. It's just a cat in a hurry. It will be back soon. I have raised this cat since it was young. It is very well behaved and will not run around."

Zhou Wangdao's expression was blank for a moment, "Is the cat in a hurry?"

"Yes, just like humans have three urgent needs, cats also have three urgent needs."

Zhou Wangdao paused for a long time before saying, "Okay, then shall we wait for it here?"

Pan Jun nodded with a smile, and then he heard a voice from above his head, "Wang Dao, what are you doing?"

Zhou Wangdao was startled, and immediately turned around and stood up straight. He quickly raised his head and glanced, then lowered his head and said, "Master, three junior sisters from Sanqing Mountain are here to visit our senior brother."

Lin Jingle upstairs was silent for a moment and then said, "Please ask them to come up."

"Yes." Zhou Wangdao led the three people upstairs, having long forgotten about the cat that had run away.

After going up the stairs, turn right and there is a hall after entering the door.

Two huge screens in the hall divide the hall into inner and outer sides. There are two rows of futons on the left and right sides of the outer side, and there is also a futon in the middle.

Zhou Wangdao led them to the end, around a screen and into a larger space.

Along the left wall there is a row of bookshelves filled with books, and on the right by the window there are large tables and chairs. On one of the tables there is drawing paper with the ink still wet, indicating that someone was painting here just now.

Pan Jun couldn't help but look towards the window on the right.

It is a real piece, with seven windows connected together. The entire wall is opened to make windows, facing the garden outside, and the house opposite is only one story high, so looking out from there, you can just see the Longhu Mountain not far away.

Looking out from here, it seems as if Longhu Mountain is right outside the window, within reach, but looking around, it seems very far away...

Pan Yun paused for a moment before saying goodbye to Zhou Wang and continuing to walk forward.

At the end, there is a small door, and when you open it you will see Zhang Liuzhen’s bedroom.

The brothers Zhang Ziwang and Zhang Zifang, as well as Xue Taixu and Lin Jingle were all inside.

Pan Jun paused and sighed in his heart, what a bad time to come.

If Lin Jingle was the only one there, she could still shamelessly wait until he left, but with so many people...

Pan Yun looked at Zhang Liuzhen with regret.

Zhang Liuzhen looked up and saw the regret in her eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wangdao.

What did he tell them? Why did Pan Yun act like he was going to die young?

After Pan Yun saluted Zhang Ziwang and the others, he looked at Zhang Liuzhen with concern, "Big Brother, how is your injury?"

Zhang Liuzhen smiled and said, "I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister."

Xue Taixu on the side asked: "Liu Zhen recognized these three children?"

Zhang Liuzhen did not deny it and nodded, "Junior Sister Pan is famous. I have heard of her and have seen her in class, but we have never formally greeted each other."

Xue Taixu nodded, "Okay, you guys can meet her this time. She is Zhang Li's junior sister, and you and Zhang Li have always had a deep relationship. You should have a lot to talk about, so we old guys won't bother you here."

After saying that, he stood up and looked directly at the Zhang Ziwang brothers who were still sitting.

Zhang Ziwang lowered his eyes and stood up, saying to Zhou Wang: "Take good care of Liu Zhen, we will leave first."

Zhou Wangdao quickly responded.

Pan Jun didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but glance at Xue Taixu.

Xue Taixu smiled at her and led the way out. Zhang Ziwang nodded gently to Pan Yun and followed closely behind.

Zhang Zifang's face looked like he was constipated. When he looked up, he saw Pan Jun staring at him. His mood was affected again. After two violent ups and downs, he forced a smile to Pan Jun.

Lin Jingle had been waiting at the door for a long time. After opening the door and letting the three people out, he looked at Zhou Wang and said, "Why don't you come and see Dean Xue and the others off?"

Zhou Wangdao hurried to see him off.

Lin Jingle looked deeply at Zhang Liuzhen, then at Pan Yun before closing the door and leaving.

Once they left, there were only four people left in the room.

Only then did Pan Yun realize that his room was a little small. It only had a bed and a window. There was a wooden couch built under the window with two futons on it. It was very simple.

Zhang Liuzhen had been waiting with a smile on his face. When Pan Yun withdrew his gaze, he pointed to the stools where Xue Taixu and the others had just sat and said gently, "Three junior sisters, please take a seat."

Pan Yun led Miaozhen and Miaohe to sit down.

Zhang Liuzhen glanced at the three people, especially at Miaozhen and Miaohe. He couldn't help but smile, turned around and opened the cabinet beside the bed, took out two booklets and handed them to Miaozhen and Miaohe respectively, "Two junior sisters, this is a gift prepared for you. I thought I would have to wait a few years before I could give it to you, but I didn't expect you to come to the academy so early."

Miaozhen and Miaohe looked at each other and then at Pan Yun. Pan Yun said, "Since it was given by the senior brother, you should take it."

The two of them then stood up, took it, and thanked Zhang Liuzhen together.

When they sat down, they both couldn't help but open it and take a look, their eyes lit up instantly.

Pan Jun took a glance and although he didn't know what it was, he was not so happy about the manual sent by Miao Zhenmiao and Zhou Wangdao just now, but now he was so excited. It can be seen that it is something more important than Zhou Wangdao's study notes.

Zhang Liuzhen said, "I have prepared a gift for Junior Sister Pan, but it has not yet been delivered. I am afraid it will take some time before I can give it to Junior Sister."

Pan Yun: "It sounds very valuable. I can't accept it."

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me," Zhang Liuzhen said with a smile, "I spend all my money on the medicine from your Sanqing Mountain every month. Abbot Wang has never asked me for money. Auntie treats you like children, so I can't help but treat you like my own children. If you encounter any difficulties in the academy in the future, you can come to me."

Pan Yun was very cautious, "So Senior Sister Four is Senior Brother Zhang's aunt."

Seeing that she was not getting close to him but was becoming more distant, Zhang Liuzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her laughter became more and more cheerful, and she said, "Aunt Li is right. You are a shrewd person who doesn't take any soft or hard words. You will retaliate against those who treat you badly, and you should also be on guard against those who treat you well."

Pan Yun: “…”

She looked up and smiled at him gently, "Senior Brother Zhang, you are joking. Senior Sister Four and I have always been good friends. She would definitely not say that to me."

Zhang Liuzhen smiled without saying anything. Because she laughed so hard, she coughed several times. Her face turned red and she didn't stop coughing even when tears were about to come out.

Miaohe quickly poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Pan Yun, who handed it to him.

Zhang Liuzhen took several small sips before slowly stopping.

Pan Yun said, "Brother Zhang, Miaohe has been practicing Qigong and Dandao since she was a child. Why not let her take your pulse and check your health?"

Zhang Liuzhen glanced at Miaohe and asked with a smile, "Can you look inside?"

Miao He turned his head and glanced at Pan Yun and said honestly: "You can look inward at yourself, but you can't look inward at the patient."

Zhang Liuzhen exclaimed, "This is also very impressive. How old are you?"

He held out his hand to her, "Take a look."

Miaohe was very excited. She seldom had patients. Apart from a few patients who could feel her pulse during temple fairs, only the people on Mount Sanqing could feel her pulse and give her acupuncture.

She calmed herself down, pulled out a pillow from Zhang Liuzhen's bed with a special sense of ritual, gently placed his hand on the pillow, and then began to take his pulse.

"Huh?" Miaohe looked up guiltily and glanced quickly at Zhang Liuzhen. Seeing that he was still looking at her tenderly, she felt relieved and quietly moved her fingers to continue listening to her pulse.

Miaohe blinked, then moved slightly, her brows gradually furrowed, her face full of confusion.

Zhang Liuzhen asked gently, "Can't you hear many pulses?"

Miaohe opened his mouth.

Pan Jun stood up and walked over, holding Miaohe with one hand while practicing his martial arts to look at him.

He was weak in blood and had little luck, and it seemed that he would not live long.

Pan Jun was stunned.

Zhang Liuzhen took back his hand and said to the sad Miaohe: "You don't have to be sad. Although my heart is weak, I can still live. It's not a big problem."

Miao He wiped his eyes and asked, "Can my master and uncle save you?"

Zhang Liuzhen smiled and shook his head. "They can't save me, but there are people who can save me. Heaven will not block people's paths and will always leave people with a ray of hope, so you don't have to worry."

Pan Yun took back his skills and no longer looked at him with his talent. Instead, he looked at him calmly, "Brother Zhang, is your new breathing method for self-help?"

Zhang Liuzhen: “Right.”

He smiled and said, "If this set of skills can be successful, even if it can't save my life, it can save my heart."

"Heart? What kind of heart does Senior Brother Zhang have?"

Zhang Liuzhen just smiled and didn't answer her question. Instead, he turned around and took out another stack of papers with words and various exercises diagrams from the bedside table and handed them to Pan Yun. "I finally remembered that during the class that day, Junior Sister Pan didn't enter a state of meditation. I think she noticed something unusual about the new breathing method."

"This is the technique I've adjusted in the past few days. I've also discovered that it's not very good yet, but Junior Sister is smart. I want her to take a look. Maybe she can give me some advice."

Pan Yun took it and lowered his head to look at it. His eyes became brighter and brighter. "This Tai Chi diagram means that this set of exercises can form an invisible air mass inside the body. Even if we stop meditating, it can still run, grabbing spiritual energy from outside the body and refining it into Yuanli together with the essence in the body?"

Zhang Liuzhen nodded with a smile, "Yes, I have taken a lot of medicines in recent years, and I found that some medicines will form Tai Chi Qi in the body. Their effects on the body can last for one day, two days, or even longer."

"Later, I practiced and gradually discovered that special ways of practicing could also form Tai Chi Qi. Even if I stopped practicing, it was still slowly moving when I looked inward. Although the energy I gained from practicing was very little, far less than when I was in a trance and meditating, it was there."

Zhang Liuzhen said: "Don't underestimate it, but as long as you persist, the increase in cultivation over time will be immeasurable, not to mention that I found that after modifying the running path, the speed of cultivation is also increasing."

Pan Yun clenched the paper in his hand, "But this technique is unstable."

Zhang Liuzhen looked at her approvingly and nodded, "Yes, this technique is unstable. Few people in the entire academy noticed it, but you noticed it at the beginning. You were also the first to react when Zhou Wangdao went astray."

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Liuzhen was willing to pass on his skills to Pan Yun for study together.

Although she is very young, a person's ability is never linked to his or her age.

Some people are born smart and can live one year of an ordinary person in one day. He is such a person, so he never looks down on Pan Yun because of his age.

He put Pan Yun on an equal footing, so Pan Yun intuitively felt his sincerity.

Pan Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then decided to trust his intuition and his sincerity. He accepted the stack of papers, nodded and said, "Don't worry, nephew. I will study it carefully. I'm not sure I can figure it out, but I will try my best."

The smile on Zhang Liuzhen's face froze, "Nephew?"

"I discussed this with Fourth Senior Sister."

Zhang Liuzhen smiled, "So that I can let you know. Because there are Taoist friends from all over the country who come to the academy to seek the Tao, their seniority varies, and they all have their own theories. So in the academy, we don't care what people outside call us. We only use the time of admission to determine seniority. So in the academy, I am the eldest brother and I will always be the eldest brother."

He looked at Miaozhen and Miaohe again, "For example, the two junior sisters, here, they can call you Junior Sister Pan, since you entered school in the same year, or they can call you Junior Sister based on age."

Miaozhen and Miaohe were eager to try it out when they heard it.
