Chapter 194 Cracked~
Chen Ziwu opened his eyes and looked down at his hands in a daze. Seeing Pan Yun staring at him with sharp eyes, he came over after he finished and said softly, "Do you know? I suddenly have a sense of responsibility towards heaven, earth, and all things."
Pan Jun nodded, "I understand."
Facing his skeptical gaze, Pan Yun said, "Really."
Chen Ziwu was still half-believing and half-doubting, so Pan Yun frowned and said, "Don't forget, you have only been ordained, you haven't become a priest yet, and I am a temple priest with the seal of the mountain god!"
Chen Ziwu immediately became respectful and bowed his head, saying, "Senior, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man."
Pan Yun snorted, and quickly pulled out a handful of talismans and said, "Well, now that you have been officially ordained, it is time for you to become famous. Do you want a few more talismans?"
Chen Ziwu was tempted, but his wallet was hurting more, so he could only bear the pain and said, "I love peace and don't like fighting, so I'd better leave the matter of becoming famous to others."
"Peace-loving, I also have peace-loving talismans here. The peace talisman, the wealth talisman, and the peach blossom talisman are all peace-loving talismans." Pan Yun looked up and saw that he looked embarrassed, so he took the talisman back and said, "I understand, you are short of money."
Chen Ziwu blushed and said, "I should be the one saying that I am short of money."
Pan Yun: "Okay, you are poor."
Chen Ziwu: "Has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like your third brother?"
"Are you talking about the compassion to save people?"
Chen Ziwu: "No, it's your tongue, it's just as annoying as ever."
Pan Yun: "Do you still know my third senior brother?"
Chen Ziwu: "I've heard of your name for a long time!"
Since he was not an old friend of her senior brother, Pan Yun had no time to pay attention to him. She looked around and quickly spotted a Taoist priest.
The other person was of high bearing and had an outstanding temperament. What was particularly striking was that among rows of thin Taoists there was a man with a round belly, plump and rich appearance. Even his Taoist robe was a brighter color than others. He was really eye-catching.
Pan Yun went over and carefully observed his walking posture and the way he spoke. She was sure that his cultivation level was not as good as hers, so she leaned forward and whispered, "Daoyou, would you like to buy a talisman? The Thunder Talisman and Speed Talisman produced by the First Grandmaster Hou."
The other party was startled, and looked down at her. Seeing that she was wearing the clothes of the academy, his expression became better, but he still looked serious, "Where did you get the talisman drawn by the first grandmaster?"
"My senior sister Xuanmiao drew this."
The other party frowned, "Zhang Li? Her injuries have healed? She has become the first marquis?"
Pan Jun asked, "Are you going to buy it or not? I only have five talismans in my hand. If you don't want to buy it, I'll go find someone else."
"Wait," the fat man stretched out his hand to block Pan Yun, frowning and said, "I didn't say I don't want to buy it. You are a businessman, you should let me see the talisman, right?"
Pan Yun: "What kind of talisman do you want to see?"
“I see them all.”
Pan Yun took out a thunder talisman and a speed talisman and showed them to him.
The fat man saw that the runes on it were clear, and he tilted his hand slightly. The rune lines shone brightly in the sunlight. Obviously, this rune locked up a lot of energy and spiritual power. It was indeed a top-grade rune.
But I can't tell whether it was painted by Xuanmiao.
but……
He looked Pan Yun up and down and asked, "Are you Zhang Li's junior sister, the new temple priest recruited by Sanqing Mountain?"
Pan Yun nodded, "Daoyou is well-informed, it's me."
Fatty: "You should call me uncle-master. Zhang Li is my niece."
Pan Yun paused for a moment and then smiled, "I really can't tell. You look very rich and very young. You look about the same age as my senior sister."
Fatty: "You're praising me well. Don't do it next time. I am indeed almost the same age as Zhang Li, but I am older than her. Didn't she tell you? She used to bully me when she was a kid..."
Seeing that he was still holding the talisman without paying, Pan Yun snatched it away and said, "If you don't want to buy it, forget it."
The fat man was stunned, and said quickly: "Why are you still calling me fellow Taoist? You should call me uncle..."
"You are not teaching in the academy," Pan Yun said, "You are just my senior sister's distant uncle. We cultivators never care about worldly relationships. We can be friends with anyone in the world."
Seeing Pan Jun turning around and about to leave.
The fat man quickly said, "Wait a minute, I bought this talisman."
Pan Jun immediately stopped, smiled, and turned back, "Okay, fellow Taoist, how many do you want to buy?"
“I bought all five.”
Pan Yun quickly took out two thunder talismans and three speed talismans from his sleeve and handed them to him, "Twenty taels each, one hundred taels for Cheng Hui."
The fat man took out a hundred taels of silver from his purse and gave it to her. It was brand new and a large sum of money!
She held it up nervously and looked at the sunlight.
The fat man said, "Don't worry. I went to the bank to deposit the money when I came back from Nanjing. The money is real." Pan Jun folded the money and put it in his purse. There were many people here, so he threw it into the spiritual space while putting it in his purse. "Please forgive me, senior brother. I have never seen the world. This is the first time I have seen such a new banknote."
"This is newly issued, so it's new." The fat man said, "If you want a new silver note, you can also take the money to the bank to deposit it and ask them to issue you one on the spot, or you can take the old silver note to the bank to exchange it for silver, then deposit the silver into the bank and ask them to issue you a new silver note."
Pan Jun: "...Who would do this? Don't you find it troublesome?"
Fatty: “I, I did that.”
Pan Jun opened his mouth, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are awesome."
Pan Jun turned around and was about to leave. This time the fat man finally did not stop her. Instead, he waited until she disappeared into the crowd and walked away before he slowly walked towards Zhang Ziwang and others.
Zhang Ziwang and the others bowed to him and called out, "Uncle Eleven."
Zhang Shiyi nodded and asked, "Why didn't Sixth Brother and the others come?"
Zhang Ziwang lowered his head and said, "Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt are in seclusion, so they didn't come."
"Why do you stay in seclusion all day? Zhang Li is so poor that he has to sell talismans everywhere, and they don't care?"
Zhang Ziwang and the others remained silent.
Zhang Zifang was also dissatisfied, and couldn't help but mutter: "Isn't it just selling talismans? Who hasn't sold them before?"
The Zhang family is large and powerful, but there are also many people, and each small family also needs to make money, okay? Who among those present has not drawn talismans and sold them?
Why is Zhang Li different from others?
Zhang Shiyi frowned and looked at him and said, "It's not a big deal for someone like you, but Zhang Li is a genius, and her talismans are very accomplished. A large number of her talismans are on the market. Is this a good thing?"
Zhang Zifang asked innocently, "Why is it not a good thing? Isn't it good that the talisman is useful? And it was bought from Longhu Mountain, so it's good for the reputation of Longhu Mountain."
Zhang Shiyi sneered at him and didn't even bother to answer him.
Alas, the nephews are too stupid, which is sometimes a trouble, especially the eldest nephew who is older than him, eats more than him, but is dumber than him.
Pan Yun didn't know that the fat man turned against him after buying the talisman, and was trying to find a way to stop "Xuan Miao" from selling talismans.
She was moving among the crowd, looking for her customers.
She has a way of choosing people. Either she is like the fat man, who is obviously a wealthy person at first glance, and you can tell even without face reading;
Or they carry a sword and have an evil aura about them. They have either killed people, killed ghosts, or caught monsters. Such people walk on the edge of danger and will buy talismans to protect themselves.
Or they are the type who are naive and easily persuaded to spend money.
The first two types basically have their own identification ability, and can tell whether the talisman Pan Yun takes out is worth the price, so as long as there is a need, they can quickly make a deal;
There is only the third possibility. They are excited but afraid it is fake. Oh, no, it is because the Yuanli and spiritual energy above are not as good as Pan Yun boasted, so they are hesitant.
For this kind of situation, Miao Zhen and Miao He came in handy. She brought these target customers to the gate of Tianshi Mansion, pointed at Miao Zhen and Miao He and said, "If you don't believe me, I can let them demonstrate the power of the two talismans."
When the naive people heard this, they immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's give it a try."
Just try it.
First, Miao Zhen threw out the talisman, and then he made a hand gesture. A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the sky and hit the slate bricks with a bang. Everyone was startled and jumped away, making a large space.
But this was not the end yet. Two more bolts of lightning struck from the sky before it stopped. By the last bolt, the lightning had become thinner and even the sound of thunder was much quieter, but the lightning was so bright that it blinded people's eyes, and it struck the ground with a bang, creating a big hole.
Except for an old beggar huddled in the corner, no one noticed that as the last lightning struck, a thin crack appeared on the stone Qilin on the left side of the Tianshi Mansion's gate that was closest to the lightning.
The old beggar, who was lazily leaning against the wall with his eyes half closed, basking in the sun, sat up straight instantly, looked at the stone Qilin, and then looked at the little girl who was proudly introducing her thunder talisman to others. He watched silently for a long while, and finally laughed silently.
He limped to the side of the stone Qilin and put his hand on it. No one knew how he did it, but he managed to erase and cover up the crack without making a sound.
When the naive kids saw the thunder talisman that Miaozhen had shown them, they were amazed and came forward to buy it.
Pan Yun took out a handful of thunder talismans and said, "There are not many, first come first served, all are of the same quality, same price, twenty taels each, twenty taels each."
"Give me ten!"
Pan Jun looked at the fellow Taoist in shock. Seeing that he was dressed in ordinary clothes and had an ordinary face, he couldn't help but curse himself for judging people by their appearance and missing out on such a rich man at the very beginning.
She quickly counted out ten thunder talismans, handed them over and said, "Thank you for the two hundred taels!"
Miaohe didn't try the speed talisman anymore and helped Pan Yun collect the money first.
In the midst of the frenzy of buying, a naive person reacted and asked loudly, "Are the talismans you sell us really the same as the ones we tried?"
Pan Jun glanced at the five talismans in his hand and thought that it was a bit late for him to think of this problem now, but she was not a liar, so she said: "Don't worry, brother, if you don't believe it, take one out now and try it. If it is different, I will return it to you."
