Chapter 210 Pretending to be a ghost
There is no wall outside the town.

People can enter and leave the town at any time.

This is a town mainly built of stone and mud. In fact, it is a large village. Because of its wealth and the existence of a market, it gradually formed a town.

After nightfall, everyone in the town closed their doors and went to sleep when it got dark.

Only a few households had lights or fires on. Either they had money to light lamps, or they were cooking and eating at home.

Pan Jun walked in front holding a whisk in his hand, followed by Miao Zhen holding a sword and Miao He holding a cat.

The three of them stopped at the entrance of the town, looked up and glanced at the town, then walked towards the house with the most lights on.

Miao He asked in a low voice: "Master Junior, are we just going to come to your house like this?"

Pan Yun: "Do you still want to camp out for one night?"

She said, "Since we are here, we must have a good sleep and a good meal."

The three of them walked straight to the Huang family’s gate.

The Huang family is located in the north of the town, directly occupying half of the northern half of the town. The main gate faces the main road of the town, and the walls on both sides extend horizontally, cutting off the entire town.

Therefore, if the town wants to develop, it can only move southward, westward and eastward. The entire north side is blocked by the Huang family.

Pan Jun stood at the door of Huang's house, turned around and looked back, raising his eyebrows.

Although it was very subtle, she could still see that the whole town was low in the south and high in the north.

Miao Zhen also saw it. After staring at the Huang family for a while in the night, she said, "Uncle Master, the Huang family raised the foundation and built steps to cover it. Their house is at least two meters higher than the lowest point in Zhennan. I'm afraid it's even higher inside the gate."

"The entire main street is paved with bluestone slabs. I have only seen this kind of layout in two places," Pan Yun said with a half-smile, "One is the square of the Grand Shangqing Palace, and the other is the Temple of Heaven in the capital."

The square of the Great Shangqing Palace is where major Taoist rituals are held, while the Temple of Heaven is a place for national sacrifices. Both are designed to imply gradually ascending to heaven.

Pan Yun looked up at the Huang family's gate and plaque, "Could it be that the Huang family also wants to metaphorically represent their house as heaven?"

She stood at the bottom of the steps, stamped the ground under her feet and said, "Do you think this place is missing two stone lions?"

Miao He widened his eyes and said, "Uncle Junior Master, this is overstepping the boundaries."

Pan Yun: "He has already taken 98 steps, what's wrong with taking one more step?"

Miao Zhen also thought so. "We are wandering Taoist priests anyway. Even if something goes wrong, the Huang family will be held responsible."

Pan Jun gave Miaozhen an approving look.

Miao He thought of Dengjia Village and the poverty of the Deng family, and was eager to try, "Little Master, I'll go knock on the door."

"Why are you knocking?" Pan Yun glanced at her and said, "Wait for me here."

After saying that, she looked up, then jumped lightly and flew onto the roof.

She stood on the roof, took out a piece of talisman paper, shook it, and a ball of fire appeared out of nowhere and hung in the air.

She took two steps forward and stood at the highest point of the roof, with the fire behind her.

Miaozhen and Miaohe looked up eagerly, and quickly pinched Black Cat to pass a message to her, "Hurry up and tell Junior Uncle-Master that the fireball should go a little lower, and she should go a little to the left."

Pan Xiaohei was almost suffocated by the two people. He shook his neck angrily and glared at the two of them before speaking to her through the spiritual realm.

Pan Jun stood on the roof, moved a little to the left without making any sound, and snapped his fingers, causing the fireball to subside slightly.

Miao Zhen said quickly: "Right, right, just like that, the fireball hangs around her neck and back, so that people in front can't see the fireball, but can still see the light."

The ball of fire hung behind Pan Yun, making her look as if she was glowing with golden light.

The noise on the roof soon attracted the servants in the Huang family's yard. Frightened cries were heard, and soon the entire Huang family was in motion. Many people ran from the house to the yard to see Pan Yun.

Mr. Huang also ran out hurriedly with his butler, holding his robe. When he looked up, he felt it was extremely dazzling and could not see the glowing person on the roof.

Pan Jun lowered his eyes and looked at them, ignoring the warm fireball behind him. He pinched his fingers in his sleeves, and the wind instantly rose. His Taoist robe rustled loudly, and the fireball behind him also deformed a little. In the eyes of the people below, it looked like a ferocious and fierce fire beast brought by the people in the sky, staring at them with a covetous look.

The Huang family's servants were so frightened that they stepped back one after another, and some of them fell directly to the ground.

Mr. Huang was also afraid, but compared to fear, the ambition burning in his heart was even greater. This was an alien, and an alien fell into his house. What did this indicate?
It shows that his family has an opportunity.

The wind and the fiery red light allowed Mr. Huang to clearly see the Taoist robe on Pan Yun. He immediately took the butler's hand and took two steps forward. He raised his head and said loudly: "It is a blessing for our Huang family that the master has come to our Huang family. Please come in and let our Huang family have the honor of hosting the master."

Pan Yun lowered her eyes to look at him, smiled faintly and said, "Huang Shijian, I am indeed here for you!" Huang Shijian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He was both scared and excited, and became even more respectful. "Please come into the mansion, sir."

Pan Yun said: "I still have two disciples outside the gate."

When Huang Shijian heard this, he immediately asked his servants to open the door.

The servants hurried to open the door.

The two doors slowly opened to the sides, revealing Miaozhen and Miaohe standing outside the door.

One of them was holding a sword, and the other was holding a cat, with a distance of one meter between them. The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then they lifted their right feet and stepped over the threshold in tacit understanding.

Just as the two men were about to walk through the doorway, Pan Yun descended from the sky, slowly falling from the roof and landing right in front of the two men.

Pan Xiaohei had been looking up with his head, and when he saw this he couldn't help but meow, his voice full of disappointment. How come they actually did it without any deviation?

It was impossible for her to lean towards the side. Pan Jun, holding a whisk, walked in front with an arrogant look on her face, while Miao Zhen and Miao He followed behind her like the girl Sudhana.

Master Huang's eyes slid back and forth between the three people. Although Pan Yun's Taoist robe was covered with patches and torn into strips, and the two Taoist children behind her were also dressed simply, Master Huang felt that they looked like masters.

Especially since they were standing on the left and right, holding swords and... a black cat in their arms.

Mr. Huang couldn't help but look at the black cat. When he met its clear gaze, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly looked away.

But after a moment, he quickly moved back and clearly saw contempt in the cat's eyes.

Mr. Huang was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it. A cat could be so magical. This Taoist priest looked very powerful.

The golden-red light on Pan Yun's body had disappeared (the fireball burned out), and now she was standing in front of Master Huang, looking like a thin but energetic Kun Taoist.

Mr. Huang respectfully invited Pan Yun to the main hall and immediately ordered people to prepare wine and food. "Please don't be disdainful, Immortal. In the countryside, only chicken, duck, fish and meat are edible. I will have people collect mountain delicacies tomorrow."

Pan Yun shook his head and said, "No need. People who practice Taoism must abstain from the seven emotions and six desires. Although I cannot give up these desires, I don't have any obsessions with them."

Mr. Huang suddenly realized and asked, "Even a Taoist master like you can't give up your appetite?"

Pan Yun glanced at him and said, "If I can give up this desire, I will be close to becoming an earthly immortal."

Mr. Huang immediately asked her what her current level of cultivation was.

Pan Yun sighed, "Below the earthly immortals are the human immortals, and I am still a long way from being a human immortal."

It was still a long way off. She hadn’t even reached the First Marquis yet, and Human Immortal was something that happened after breaking through the Seventh Marquis. No matter in her past or present life, she had never seen anyone become a Human Immortal. She wasn’t lying, hehehe…

Mr. Huang thought he understood the unique humility of the Chinese people. This Taoist priest was only one step away from becoming an immortal.

He didn't know what level a human immortal was, but he thought that being called an immortal must be very powerful.

Pan Yun said, "It is precisely because I have not yet achieved the human immortality that I have to enter the secular world to experience tribulations. I just came down the mountain and saw this mansion at a glance."

She said meaningfully: "This mansion is very unusual."

Mr. Huang's eyes widened, and he immediately gripped the handle of the chair tightly. He swallowed nervously and asked, "Why, why is it different?"

"This residence faces south and is located directly east of the Great Shangqing Palace in Longhu Mountain, just blocking the Azure Dragon Qi of the Great Shangqing Palace."

Pan Yun smiled and said, "The Great Shangqing Palace is the place where my Taoist tradition has been passed down for thousands of years. We chose Longhu Mountain to build it because it can gather the energy of the five directions of southeast, northwest, center, and center. The five elements are mutually beneficial and can protect the Taoist tradition for thousands of years. But I didn't expect that the mansion was built on a meridian, cutting off the Azure Dragon energy from the east to the Great Shangqing Palace."

"Mr. Huang, I wonder if your family did it intentionally or unintentionally?" Pan Yun said, "If it is unintentional, this destiny is very interesting."

Mr. Huang's heart was pounding. He didn't know whether his father did it intentionally or unintentionally. Judging from the words he left before he died, it was very likely that he did it intentionally.

Thinking of this, Mr. Huang's heart sank. He quickly said, "Master, my family didn't mean to do this. What should we do? If Longhu Mountain knows, will it be bad for my family?"

"Master Huang, you are worrying too much. We cultivators believe in cause and effect. Even if the masters of Longhu Mountain find out, they will only discuss with you in a friendly manner and ask you to move. Otherwise, if you harm others in the Azure Dragon's energy channel, you will only bring trouble to yourself."

Mr. Huang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Only a master could find out the abnormality in my house?"

Pan Yun: "That's not necessarily true. Your Huang family has been able to stand here for many years. Longhu Mountain is only a day's journey away from you, but it has never been discovered. This shows the ingenuity of the person who designed this house. But my nephew found something unusual as soon as he entered the town."

"It can be seen that if you meet some extremely talented people, even if their cultivation is not good, they can still see the abnormality," Pan Yun said with a smile, "The Huang family really built this house ingeniously. Who would have thought that the Huang family's house at the end of the seemingly flat main road is at the highest point in the town, and the energy from all directions gathers at the Huang family's house?"

Mr. Huang's knees went weak, and he knelt down on the ground from the chair, and said hurriedly: "Master, help me, and please don't report me. This house is built like this just for drainage. I don't understand anything about the Azure Dragon Qi or the Four Directions Qi."

　good night, see you tomorrow
