Chapter 161 Prisoner
"You can see how important the body is to cultivation." Pan Yun said, "If the body is not in good condition, the body's energy must first repair the body. Zhang Liuzhen and I are both born with a Taoist body, so his cultivation speed should not be slower than mine. But you see, he is already this old, and he has not yet entered the first marquis. Why?"

"It must be because he was injured and in poor health, so all his energy went to repair his body, leaving no energy left for him to practice, which is why he is like this."

"So it is very important to temper the body," Pan Yun thought, "Big Brother spends a lot of money on us every month to let us take medicinal baths to strengthen our bodies. It's the same reason. Similarly, Cheng Lingzi uses his body's strength to walk and run to fetch water in order to strengthen his body."

Pan Jun was so excited that he wanted to help Cheng Lingzi fetch water right away.

"We have nothing to do anyway, why don't we go get him some water?"

Pan Xiaohei brought up the old topic again, "You're not afraid of heights anymore?"

Pan Yun glanced at it and said, "I can use my energy outside the cave. I can just fall down and fly up by myself. What should I be afraid of?"

So the next day, when Cheng Lingzi was running down the cliff again with a bucket of water, Pan Yun leaned over the cave entrance and leaned out, shouting, "Brother, can I help you carry the water?"

When Cheng Lingzi heard it, he just turned his head to look at her and continued to fetch water, doing so ten times without paying any attention to her.

But Pan Jun was not discouraged at all. No matter whether the scumbag paid attention to her or not, she kept looking at him with starry eyes.

Cheng Lingzi came over quickly with a clay pot and steamed buns. Pan Jun threw the empty clay pot from yesterday to him, then took the clay pot and steamed buns he threw to him, looked at him with shining eyes and said, "Brother, can I help you fetch water? I also want to learn your ability to walk on walls."

Cheng Lingzi stepped on the flying sword and said, "I am naturally happy to help you, Junior Sister, but... can you come out?"

Pan Yun said cheerfully: "As long as Senior Brother agrees, of course I can go out."

Cheng Lingzi raised his chin and said, "Would you like to try?"

When Pan Jun heard this, she seemed to be thinking about something. She looked at the empty hole, thought for a while, and suddenly jumped down. However, when her body reached the edge of the hole, she was blocked by an invisible force and was smashed back with a bang.

Fortunately, she just wanted to jump down and didn't use much force, so the rebound force was limited.

She covered her butt and climbed up, looking shocked, "Formation?"

She ran to the entrance of the cave, squatted down, moved forward little by little, and stretched out her hand, but her hand smoothly stretched out of the cave without encountering any obstruction.

Pan Yun was amazed. "It's also intelligent?"

Cheng Lingzi didn't know what he was mumbling about, so he turned and flew away, "I advise you to be honest, Junior Sister. Today is your fifth day, and you still have forty days."

Pan Yun found a new toy and stopped bothering Cheng Lingzi for the time being.

"This formation is very smart. Where is it set up? Is it set up all over the mountain?" Pan Yun began to explore the cave again. After searching for a while, he used his internal force and Yuan power to smash the mountain.

"Brother really didn't lie to me. The talisman formations at Mount Longhu are indeed the best in the world. I have never seen these at Mount Sanqing. No, I have to study them carefully. Good things must be learned before they belong to me."

When Pan Yun was struggling on the mountain.

Wang Feiyin was also struggling at the foot of the mountain.

When it was time to treat Zhang Liuzhen, Wang Feiyin suddenly remembered, "Junior Junior Sister has been taking a medicinal bath for half a year. Now that she has gone to the Cliff of Repentance, won't her medicine be interrupted? No, we have to continue it for her."

Xuanmiao: "...Big Brother, there is no spiritual energy in the Cliff of Repentance."

"It's better to have no spiritual energy. The environment is extreme, so the effect of strengthening the body is in contrast, which is better." Wang Feiyin said: "In the past, the medicinal bath for strengthening the body was once every half a month. I think it can be increased to once every ten days in the Cliff of Repentance."

Wang Feiyin immediately asked the academy to allow them to send body-building medicine to Pan Yun.

Zhang Ziwang's face darkened, and he emphasized, "She went to the cliff to reflect on her sins!"

"Yes, she should reflect on her mistakes, but she can't delay her cultivation. It happens that she is still in pain after soaking in the body-building medicine, so we can increase her punishment, how good." Wang Feiyin said, "I don't need you to pay for the medicine, as long as you allow my disciples to deliver the medicine."

Wang Feiyin paused and said, "If you are worried, let Xuanmiao go. After all, she is from your Zhang family and is familiar with Siguo Cliff."

mysterious:……

Li Qingyin, who was standing by, immediately supported him. "That's right, it's not a big deal. It's just delivering some things to the disciples. You guys are secretly bullying kids in the Cliff of Repentance, are you afraid that we'll know?"

Zhang Ziwang's face turned black. "Is the academy such a place?"

Li Qingyin muttered, "That may not be the case. My husband Huai is still lying in bed."

Zhang Ziwang was speechless and choked to death.

They have had several fights in the past few days, and the academy has paid Cui Huaigong and Fuqing Temple a large sum of money and resources for this, but the matter is not over yet.

Zhang Weiliang was escorted back by people from the Criminal Law Hall two days ago. When his brother and sister-in-law heard the news, they also came to the academy to make trouble.

The Tianshi Mansion also sent people up to inquire about the commotion. In the end, this simple and clear ambush and assault case was divided into five factions because there were too many and too special people involved.

Fortunately, this was not a public trial, otherwise he would have been furious.

Nong Zhiyi insisted that no one had instructed him to do this, and that it was his own behavior. The other three also gritted their teeth and did not give up Zhang Weiliang. The money Nong Zhiyi received was suspicious, but there was no evidence to prove that the money was sent to him by Zhang Weiliang. Without concrete evidence, Wang Feiyin and Li Qingyin could not do anything to each other.

In the end, Lin Jingle brought up the incidents in the past when he bullied others and ambushed Pan Yun in the yard. He beat him with twenty sticks and sent him to the Cliff of Repentance for three months.

Oh, he is still recovering from his injuries and will be sent to the Cliff of Repentance tomorrow.

Zhang Weiliang never thought that he would be punished for the previous incident in the courtyard. As everyone knows, he was the one who suffered the loss in the Fengqiyuan incident, okay?
He didn't scare Pan Yun, but he made himself, Zhang Weigang and Zhang Weiqin suffer. That's not to mention. The three of them were punished to go down the mountain for training, and when they came back, they could be punished again for the old case...

When Zhang Weiliang was beaten and carried back to the Tianshi Mansion at the foot of the mountain, he still looked unconvinced, muttering: "Just to cure the successor master, so you agreed to everything he asked. Does it mean that if he wants to kill me at the Sanqing Temple, you will agree to it too--"

"Why? Zhang Liuzhen's life is a life, but mine is not? You are using me to please Sanqing Temple. I don't accept it. I don't accept it—"

Even Lin Jingle, who had always been ruthless to the Zhang family members, couldn't help but say, "He is not wrong. Without evidence, it cannot be considered as something he did."

Zhang Ziwang sneered and asked, "Then cancel the punishment?"

Lin Jingle: "Humph, you don't need to point at me. He has been misbehaving for a long time. The punishment he received this time is well-founded. But it's impossible for Wang Feiyin to punish him more severely."

Zhang Ziwang said nothing.

Lin Jingle turned around and was about to leave when Zhang Ziwang stopped him, "I heard someone say that when they were escorting him back, the people from the Criminal Law Hall took him to the mass grave at the foot of the mountain and kept him there all night?"

Lin Jingle tilted his head, "Is there any problem?"

Zhang Ziwang: "Master Lin, I hope you can understand that the academy and the Tianshi Mansion prosper and suffer together, and the Tianshi Mansion is named Zhang."

Lin Jingle sneered and said, "Whether it is the Academy or the Heavenly Master's Mansion, they are all for the continuation of the Taoist tradition. If anyone does something that harms the Taoist tradition, no matter who it is, I will never let them go."

Lin Jingle turned and left.

When we got outside, several disciples gathered around him and whispered, "Master, we have searched the mass graves and cemeteries nearby, and there are no ghosts left. Maybe it wasn't Zhang Weiliang who summoned the ghost?"

Lin Jingle: "If it's not him, then check Zhang Weigang and Zhang Weiqin."

"Could it be Pan Yun's three nephews? If they brought them in from outside..."

Lin Jingle glanced at them and said, "Wang Feiyin is not someone who can tolerate any sand in his eyes. Compared to Pan Yun, the three Zhang brothers are even less trustworthy. If we can't find anything from Zhang Weigang and Zhang Weiqin, then we will check Zhang Weiyi, Xue Hua, and Deng Ziyu."

This made everyone in Fengqiyuan suspicious.

The disciples responded in a low voice, glanced at Lin Jingle's face, and pleaded for Zhou Wangdao, "Master, Senior Brother didn't do it on purpose. You can tell from the good relationship between him and Pan Yun..."

"It's negligence, it's negligence, or do you want to go to the Cliff of Repentance too?"

Several people immediately stopped talking.

Zhou Wangdao’s one-month trip to the Cliff of Repentance arrived late but eventually.

As soon as his injury got better, he was sent to the Cliff of Repentance. In fact, he was sent there at the same time as Pan Yun.

As soon as Lin Jingle left, several people gathered together to discuss, "Should we secretly send something to Brother?"

"I haven't been to the Cliff of Repentance yet, so I don't know what's going on inside."

People who have been there say, "It's very bad. Every day we eat steamed buns made from mixed grains, three times a day, one for each meal, and not even a pickle."

"You can't complain. If you do, you'll run out of food and water for the day and have to go hungry."

"The water I drink every day is enough for me. After a month, not only do my clothes become smelly, but even my face is covered with dust. Most importantly, my inner strength is dissipating every day. There is no sound except the sound of wind and water, especially at night. I can't stand being locked up for three days, let alone a month."

Zhou Wangdao persisted a little longer than him, for five days, and now he can't stand it anymore.

After not speaking for five days, he couldn't help but talk to himself. When he suddenly came to his senses and realized this, he was filled with fear, "I, I actually talked to myself?"

"My senior brothers' manuscripts say that when one starts talking to himself, he is not far from going crazy. I shouldn't go crazy that easily, right?"

Zhou Wangdao suddenly covered his mouth, "Wow, I, I can't help but say it again..."

When he was doubting himself, he heard a thudding sound. He couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen. Where did the sound come from?
He has been here for five days, and the only sound he hears is the sound of wind and water...

Zhou Wangdao swallowed his saliva, entered the cave in the dark, and listened to the sound. The sound seemed to come from inside the mountain.

He was close to the mountain when suddenly there was a bang. He was startled and took a step back, but held his breath and listened carefully. The next moment, he heard a ghost cry. The voice was wild and resentful, as if it was very far away, but also seemed to be right next to his ear. She shouted wildly: "I found you~~"

Zhou Wangdao was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, and his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
