Chapter 168: Release from Prison and Go Down the Mountain
Wang Feiyin did not stop his son from doing business. He said, "Don't always think about making money. Practice more when you have time. Look at you. You are so old, but you can only practice fasting for half a day. You can practice fasting for ten days or half a month at a time."

Wang Cong: "Dad, that's too much pressure on your body. You'll starve to death."

"I can do it, why can't you? It's because you haven't cultivated enough and haven't practiced enough."

When he thought about returning to Sanqing Mountain, he felt sad when the villagers told him that Wang Cong and his two fellow apprentice brothers had been eating at the stalls at the foot of the mountain for half a month.

The villagers rubbed salt into his painful wound, "You are too bad to the children, you only feed them one meal a day. I heard from Cong'er that they can't eat in the afternoon, saying that they want to fast. Look at you, Er'er, when you were young, your parents never let you go hungry. In our village, there hasn't been a family that can only eat one meal a day for many years."

"That's right, it's too unfair to the child."

Wang Feiyin certainly didn’t think that his son and Tao Yanbai only ate one meal a day for the purpose of fasting. To truly fast, one must be hungry for at least one day, right?

They eat a meal around noon, neither early nor late. Is this fasting?

This is clearly laziness!
There is food and vegetables on the mountain, and they also raise chickens. Why are they short of food and drink?
But he couldn't tell it to the enthusiastic villagers.

Whenever he said that the two children were lazy, they would have a lot of words waiting for him, because compared with the outward behavior of the two children, he, as the elder, was even lazier.

So he took his anger out on his two children, who were not lazy at all.

"If you only eat once every ten days or half a month, the villagers will really know that you are fasting, and they will only praise you for your high level of cultivation and diligence. If you eat once a day and then go hungry for half a day, everyone will say you are lazy."

Wang Cong corrected, "The villagers didn't say we were lazy."

Wang Feiyin said dimly, "Yes, you said I treated you badly."

Wang Cong lowered his head guiltily and quickly changed the subject, "Dad, go take a look at the mountain temple. My junior brother and I have taken good care of it."

Tao Yanbai nodded repeatedly, "Recently, many pilgrims have come here, and they all say that our Sanqingshan Mountain Temple is very effective. By the way, many people also come here to consult, and my brother and I have seen them all."

Wang Feiyin: "Did you receive the money?"

Tao Yanbai shook his head. "My master said that if you come to the temple for a consultation, I won't charge you for anything. I even gave some medicine to those who looked poor."

Wang Feiyin nodded approvingly, "People have come to us to seek help. We accept their incense and faith, so we don't charge money for those who come to the mountain temple and Taoist temple to seek medical treatment."

Tao Yanbai agreed, "They all gave us eggs, so we received a lot of eggs."

Wang Feiyin said quietly, "You all have eggs, but you would rather starve than cook two eggs. How lazy are you?"

Tao Yanbai lowered his head and looked at Wang Cong guiltily. He should have not mentioned this matter earlier, as it caused his senior brother to be scolded along with him.

In fact, they are not too lazy to boil the eggs, but they are too lazy to wash the pot after boiling the eggs. It is not worth it just to eat two eggs.

Oh, if only Junior Sister Miaohe were here, she would be super hardworking.

Wang Feiyin watched Wang Cong arrange the convoy and sighed, "If only you could practice with half the energy you put into making money."

Wang Cong pretended not to hear. He was practicing very hard, but making money was more interesting.

"Dad, I'm leaving."

Wang Feiyin waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, go quickly, and take the exam well. If you fail, you will be punished with a stick if you take the exam again in three years. If you still fail, I will let you inherit the Taoist temple."

Wang Cong didn't care. After bowing to his father, he hurriedly got into the car and took Tao Yanbai with him.

Yes, Tao Yanbai also went with him to Guangxin Prefecture this time. One reason was to take care of Wang Cong who was about to take an exam, and the other was to broaden his horizons.

His master stayed in Longhu Mountain to make money to support his fellow disciples, so he had nothing to do in Sanqing Mountain. He had learned almost everything he needed to learn, and now all he needed was some experience.

Wang Feiyin watched them leave and shook his head. Wang Cong looked so old-fashioned, who did he look like?

Turning around and crossing the bridge, when passing by the Wang family's shed, Wang Feiyin thought about it and went in to order a bowl of noodles. Forget it, the children were not at home, so he might as well practice fasting.

When Wang Feiyin was fasting, Pan Yun was cleaning up the inventory in the spiritual space and found that there were still three chickens that had not been eaten.

Although these ingredients will not go bad if kept in the spiritual realm, they don’t feel very fresh. Anyway, they are not as delicious as those that have just been killed.

Pan Yun thought about it and simply asked Cheng Lingzi for half a bucket of mud. After smearing salt and some onions, ginger and garlic on it, he washed the lotus leaves that were originally wrapped in them, wrapped them in mud, and roasted them in the charcoal pile.

Cheng Lingzi had turned around to leave, but when he saw this, he squatted down and watched.

The two chatted casually. An hour later, the sunset filled the cave and the beggar's chicken was roasted. Pan Yun pushed one to him.

This time, Cheng Lingzi did not refuse, because Pan Jun was leaving soon. The verdict said that she had to be confined until the hour of Xu, and it had to be the hour of Xu, not a moment earlier or later.

Cheng Lingzi pointed at the still hot beggar's chicken and asked, "Who are the other two for?"

Pan Jun: "I want to eat too, okay?"

"You want two?"

Pan Yun: "There is another one for making amends."

"Oh~~" Cheng Lingzi said: "Do you realize your mistake?"

Pan Jun looked at him puzzledly and nodded, "I realize my mistake."

She shouldn't throw objects from high places or throw stones around.

Cheng Lingzi smiled, took his beggar's chicken and left, "You have less than an hour, pack up and get ready to leave."

Pan Jun shook her head and put away the sizzling beggar's chicken. This biggest one was the one she brought for her, Miaozhen and Miaohe, and the three of them would eat it together later.

The cafeteria of the academy is actually very ordinary, and beggar's chicken is a very luxurious food. They must like it.

Pan Yun was very happy. She picked up the other beggar chicken with a stick and quickly took it to the inner room. She shouted to the people below, "Hey, I'm really sorry for hitting you before. I'll give you an apology!"

No one responded to her.

Pan Jun didn't care. He touched the hot beggar's chicken, hissed, measured the distance, weighed it, and threw it out instantly.

The beggar's chicken drew a beautiful arc in the air and then fell down. After more than ten breaths, the sound of it landing on the ground with a bang was heard.

The thing lying on the ground raised its head angrily and roared upwards. Only after it finished shouting did it realize that the thing thrown down this time seemed to be different from the last time.

The small space was filled with a fragrance that I had not smelled for a long time.

He sniffed and found something that had fallen in the darkness. He touched it and it was hot.

He was silent for a moment, then carefully peeled off the thing with his fingernails. A rich aroma filled his nose, and without hesitation, he crushed the mud and stuffed the thing into his mouth.

After a while, he ate all the meat and began to chew the bones, muttering, "I hope she will be punished to come to the cliff every day."

Pan Yun didn't know that someone was cursing her at the bottom of the cliff. After throwing the things down, she felt that the grudge between them was over, so she clapped her hands and went to collect the things.

She put everything she brought into the spiritual space and waited for someone to take her out.

When the hour of Xu arrived, a bamboo basket was lowered down from the top of the mountain.

Pan Jun looked at the bamboo basket silently for a long time, then pulled the basket in and climbed inside tremblingly. She muttered, "What's wrong with him giving me a ride on his flying sword?" Pan Xiaohei meowed at her.

Pan Jun opened her arms, and Pan Xiaohei jumped up and ran straight into her arms.

Pan Yun pulled the rope, and the people on the cliff began to pull the bamboo basket up.

It was the four senior sisters who came to pick her up from the mountain.

There are also procedures for going down the mountain.

After Cheng Lingzi signed for her, Pan Yun could go down the mountain.

She put the black cat on her shoulder and clasped her fists towards Cheng Lingzi, "Senior Brother Cheng Lingzi, I will come to see you often when I have time in the future."

Cheng Lingzi smiled and said, "Let's go. Siguo Cliff is not a good place."

"I'm not here to be detained. I'm just here to visit you."

"I think you'll be in detention more often in the future."

Pan Jun didn't believe it, "I'm very good."

Cheng Lingzi sneered. Every year there were students in the academy who were punished to go to the Cliff of Repentance. He had never seen anyone more troublesome than Pan Yun.

He waved his hand and said, "Go, go, we'll see you next time, hopefully it'll be longer."

The four senior sisters took Pan Yun down the mountain, and they were all very polite to Pan Yun.

Pan Yun keenly felt that their attitude changed because of Cheng Lingzi.

Because when they pulled her up, there was no change in the four of them. It was not until Cheng Lingzi finished talking to her that the four of them slowly changed.

It seems that Cheng Lingzi is also a very powerful person in the academy.

Pan Yun felt that he had another way out and went down the mountain happily.

Miao Zhen Miao and Lao He had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time. As soon as they saw her, they ran forward and said, "Little Master Uncle——"

"Miaozhen, Miaohe——"

The three of them hugged each other, and Pan Jun felt unusually excited. So this was the feeling of friends reuniting after a long separation?
Seeing the two of them so excited, Pan Yun decided to dance with the children. She also hugged their shoulders, and the three of them jumped around in circles on the spot, and then went back to Fengqiyuan happily.

The four sisters behind me: …

He didn't even say hello.

Pan Jun walked a long way before she remembered, "I forgot to say goodbye to the four senior sisters."

Miaohe: "It's not a good thing. It's better not to see each other again."

Miaozhen looked over her shoulder, "By the way, where's Xiaohei?"

"Hey, where's Xiao Hei?" It was only at this time that Pan Jun discovered that the black cat squatting on his shoulder was missing.

"Meow——" Pan Xiaohei turned back from the front, his face dark, "Can you be any more blind?"

Pan Yun pretended not to hear her, but Miao Zhen had already rushed forward to pick it up, caressing it and saying, "Xiao Hei, I've really wronged you for the past forty-five days."

Pan Yun: "It doesn't feel wronged. It sleeps when it's full and eats when it wakes up. I am the one who feels wronged."

"Did someone bully Junior Master Uncle on the mountain?"

"That's not the case..." Pan Yun carefully explained the situation of the Cliff of Repentance to them, and said, "If you accidentally enter the Cliff of Repentance in the future, the things I prepare for you will definitely be more complete than what Senior Brother prepared for me this time."

Pan Jun paused and said, "What the senior brother prepared for me is really complete. It's like I have lived in the Cliff of Repentance for a long time."

"Listen to what Fourth Uncle said. Fourth Uncle once went to the Cliff of Repentance."

"Does Fourth Senior Sister look like someone who can draw water with a bucket?"

Miao Zhen said with a tangled look on his face: "Little Master Uncle, when Fourth Master Uncle gave you the rope, could it be that he wanted you to use the rope to escape when you wanted to leave, instead of using it to fetch water?"

Pan Yun's expression froze. She tried to save face, "It's only a month and a half. I won't run away, right?"

The three of them looked at each other and whispered, "Could it be that Fourth Uncle (Fourth Sister) has done such a thing?"

Pan Yun changed the subject, "When did Senior Brother and the others return to the mountain?"

Miaozhen immediately confessed, and Pan Yun then realized that Tao Ji and Xuanmiao did not return to the mountain but stayed in Longhu Mountain in order to earn money for them to take a bath.

Pan Yun was stunned and asked, "Where are the third brother and fourth sister now?"

"Five days ago, after the last bucket of medicine was delivered to the mountain, Fourth Uncle went down the mountain to look for Third Uncle," Miao Zhen glanced at Miao He and said, "Third Uncle was forcibly taken to Changzhou Prefecture for a medical consultation when he went down the mountain to treat a patient."

Pan Yun: "Is there anyone who can forcibly take Third Senior Brother away? Did Third Senior Brother learn Kung Fu in vain?"

Miao He: "I don't think it can be considered as coercion, but rather coercion and inducement. I heard that they charged 500 taels for the consultation alone, and also included round-trip accommodation and travel expenses."

Pan Jun exclaimed, "Wow!" "Isn't this too much?"

"Yes, there are too many. Fourth Uncle was worried that my master wouldn't be able to cure the patient, or that he would say something unpleasant and cause big trouble. So as soon as the body-building medicine was finished, Fourth Uncle immediately went down the mountain to find Master," Miao He said, "Fourth Uncle asked us to take good care of Junior Uncle."

"I am your elder, and I should be the one taking care of you," Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Come on, I brought you some delicious food from the mountain."

Miao Zhen Miao He was very curious, "How can there be delicious food on Siguo Cliff? Isn't life there very hard?"

"They are quite poor, but I am not."

As soon as he returned to Fengqiyuan, Pan Yun took out the beggar's chicken. The mud was still hot, not to mention the chicken inside.

As soon as the yellow mud was peeled off, the fragrance rushed out and went straight into their noses. Miaozhen Miaohe couldn't help swallowing their saliva, their eyes sparkling, "It smells so good~~"

Pan Yun broke the yellow mud and said, "Eat it quickly."

The three of them simultaneously reached out to pull the chicken legs and wings and chopped the chicken into eight pieces.

From time to time, exclamations of admiration could be heard in the room, and with the fragrant aroma, it was easy to guess what they were doing.

Zhang Weiyi, who was carrying a large food box, stopped and didn't know whether to go forward or backward.

Xue Hua glanced at him and said, "Everything is ready, let's send it in."

Deng Ziyu also said: "They are several years younger than us. Although they are brothers and sisters, they are still young and probably can't communicate with each other. Just give them the food and let them eat it themselves, just like the younger sisters in the opposite family."

Zhang Weiyi thought for a moment and nodded, then walked forward and knocked on the door.
