Chapter 241: Sacrifice

Hu Jing couldn't help but say, "Look at how you treat him, can arresting him really threaten you? It would be better to arrest the two around you."

Pan Jun said seriously, "Although I am close to them, in terms of justice, in my heart, Young Master Zhang is of course more important."

Zhang Weiliang felt cold sweat on his spine. He shouted, "Don't frame me. If you cause me to be arrested, my parents and second uncle will never let you go!"

Pan Jun nodded seriously, "Don't worry, Master Zhang, I will definitely protect you."

Zhang Weiliang: …

Seeing that Hu Jing and the others had thoughtful expressions on their faces, Zhang Wei felt guilty.

He was successfully framed by Pan Yun. If he was really caught by the enemy and threatened her, he believed that she would definitely act like a righteous woman and kill her own relatives for the sake of justice, and would kill him in a very righteous and open manner.

Zhang Weiliang regretted that he should have listened to Zhang Weiqin and should not have come to rescue Pan Yun.

Hu Jing and Su Ying were still tied up, but before they were tied up, they took the blue-clothed guards who were still able to walk to lift the lying gray-clothed guards to the side and tied them up tightly.

These are the ones who are not dead. The dead ones were carried and placed in front of Pan Yun.

Zhang Ning and Li Ji also obediently went to carry over all the Qingyi Guards lying down and tied them up.

After this inventory, it was discovered that among the Qingyi Guards, some were seriously injured, some were slightly injured, but none were dead.

Ah Xin finally let go of his worry, and the Qingyi guards who were still standing also let down their guard, obediently stretched out their hands, and tied themselves up with each other, without Pan Yun and the others having to do anything.

During the inventory, Dr. Zhao was pulled out from under the car.

He is intact!

Pan Yun and Doctor Zhao stared at each other. Doctor Zhao couldn't help but complain, "Master Sanzhu, you've made me suffer so much."

Pan Yun: "Song Bei has been beaten down by me, how can he still cause trouble to you because of your poor medical skills?"

Doctor Zhao was about to cry, "My wife and children are still on the island."

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely flatten the island and rescue your family."

Doctor Zhao didn't know whether he should be happy or worried, because he was also a pirate.

Pan Yun turned around and walked to Zhang Weiliang, squatted down, and said to him in a voice transmission: "I am now called Sanzhu, Miaozhen is called Sishui, and Miaohe is called Wuhuo. Do you remember?"

Zhang Weiliang glanced at her and asked in a voice transmission: "Why do you need a fake name?"

Pan Yun: "In order to give you the opportunity to become famous."

Zhang Weiliang sneered, "Do you think I will believe it? Could it be that you have offended too many people outside, so you use a fake name?"

Pan Yun was silent.

Zhang Weiliang couldn't help but sit up straight, "Really? You don't always call yourself Longhushan when you're out there, do you?"

He shouted this and everyone turned their heads to look over.

Pan Jun glanced at him and said, "Why are you shouting? Am I not a student of Longhushan Academy?"

Zhang Weiliang gnashed his teeth and said, "But you are a disciple of Mount Sanqing."

"We can use our academy records to replace travel permits when we travel. I didn't say I was from Longhushan Academy on my own initiative. I was discovered."

Zhang Weiliang: ...I’m so angry.

Zhang Weiliang thought that he would need her to save people, so he suppressed his unhappiness about taking the blame and asked with a sullen face, "When are you going to go look for people in the thick fog?"

Pan Yun: "What are you looking for? This mountain is so big, and it's filled with gloomy air. Who knows where they've been bewitched to?"

"you!"

Pan Yun quickly raised her hand to stop him from saying anything, and said, "Don't worry, just because I don't go looking for people doesn't mean I won't save them."

She stood up, looked around and said, "These people died in vain here. After they died, they were first displayed here by the soldiers to scare people, and then used by the Japanese as roadblocks. They don't want to be resentful."

"I suffered in life, and I will be tortured here after death. I committed so many sins, either voluntarily or under duress."

Pan Yun felt that they were suffering just by thinking about it. "They have suffered enough in this life. They may suffer even more in the next life because of these sins. Are there any more pitiful people, ghosts and vengeful spirits in this world than them?"

Zhang Weiliang was slightly startled, and after a pause he said, "No matter how hard it is, as a Taoist priest who exorcises demons and defends the Way, if I see a vengeful spirit, I still have to get rid of it to prevent it from harming people again."

Pan Yun glanced at him and said, "Can't you purify them? Can't you send them to heaven? What's the problem with digging a hole for them to rest in peace?"

Zhang Weiliang's eyes widened slightly, and he pointed at the pile of bones not far away and said, "Can you tell which one is which? You actually want to bury them in peace. Do you know that if you put the wrong bones, even burying a wrong tooth, they will resent you and haunt you day and night?"

So they find it difficult to dig a hole and bury the bones?
Of course not, but it is extremely difficult to find the remains of one person among so many corpses. It is better to use force to directly smash the evil spirit.

Pan Jun glanced down at him and said condescendingly: "That's because you are not well-trained and are too inexperienced."

Zhang Weiliang was so angry that he covered his chest and stood up from the ground, "I can't beat you, but I have learned magic for so many years, I don't believe you can be better than me."

One’s cultivation level can improve rapidly with one’s talent. He admitted that his talent was not as good as hers, but the art of alchemy could not be mastered overnight.

What's more, among all the alchemy techniques in the world, the most powerful one is still from Longhu Mountain, and the most powerful one from Sanqing Mountain is alchemy. What powerful alchemy techniques can they teach her?

Pan Jun glanced at him and looked at Miao Zhen.

Miao Zhen said: "Master Junior, I have found all the things."

"What is this..." Zhang Weiliang turned his head and was stunned when he saw what Miaozhen took out. "What... you have prepared quite a lot."

Miaozhen brought down a box and used it as a table, on which she placed an incense burner, a magic lamp, yellow paper, a peach wood sword, three plates of various snacks, and two bowls of clean water.

Zhang Weiliang couldn't help but ask, "You guys are still carrying these luggage with you?"

Pan Yun ignored him and walked to the box and picked up the peach wood sword. Yu Yuanli put his fingertips on the peach wood sword and gently scratched it. She slightly tilted the peach wood sword, made up her mind, and scratched the blade with her fingertips. There was a sharp pain, and her fingertips were cut. The wound was quiet for a moment, and then blood gushed out.

It hurts every time I stab myself.

Pan Yun used the blood on his fingertips to draw a rune on the sword. When the rune was completed, a golden light flashed and the wind started. Everyone felt a chill all over their bodies, and a cold breath rushed in from all directions...

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Miaozhen pointed with her finger and the two upright incense candles were immediately lit.

Miaohe took out three incense sticks, lit them and handed them to Pan Yun.

Pan Yun gently put down the peach wood sword, took the incense, walked to the incense table step by step, raised his eyes to look at the deep woods, clasped his hands together, held the incense and was about to bow...

The wind was growing stronger and stronger, making everyone's clothes rustle. Miao Zhenmiao and her figures swayed and she was almost blown away by the wind.

Hu Jing and others quickly dodged to the side to avoid the flying sand and gravel. Song Bei was tied up all over. He struggled to raise his upper body and stared at the scene in a daze.

So, she might be able to dispel the white fog.

Pan Yun bent down and was about to kowtow, but was held back by a force and was even pushed back.

She stood steadily, paused for a moment, then held the incense and bowed slowly, saying: "I wish the country to be prosperous and the people to be safe;"

She stood up, then bowed again, "Second, I wish all your relatives and friends good luck;"

Pan Yun stood up straight, raised his eyes and looked forward, slowly bent down, and said solemnly: "I wish the dead soul to rest in peace and return to their hometown."

The wind blew over suddenly, and the vengeful spirits rushed over with thick fog. The visibility suddenly dropped from a hundred meters to less than one meter. Pan Jun could not even see Miao Zhenmiaohe who were standing beside him.

A burst of shrill cries and shouts rang out, and when everyone was in doubt, they felt their legs hanging in the air, as if they had fallen from the ground into the center of the earth, and were falling continuously...

Everyone's heart was beating in their throat. Zhang Weiliang was so angry that he shouted: "Pan... Sanzhu, I knew you couldn't do it! Stop it right now!"

Pan Jun did not stop, insisted on holding the incense, and bowed deeply again, and the feeling of weightlessness in the rotation became even stronger.

Then everyone stopped suddenly and saw a red blood mist.

A group of ragged fishermen screamed, abandoned their fishing boats, and shoved their way to the shore, followed by pirates wielding swords.

They killed the fishermen, stole the pearls they accidentally caught, and looted their belongings.

But they got too little, so they rushed into their villages with swords and looted everything.

After robbing, these pirates fled and hid on the islands, making it impossible for the officers and soldiers to chase them.

Moreover, the coastline is very long, and the officers and soldiers cannot control every opening.

Some of these pirates were Japanese, but more were extremely vicious local people who became bandits because they did not want to endure the hardships of fishing anymore.

Because of the alliances between villages, most of these people only robbed things and rarely killed people.

But the Japanese pirates were different. They had no scruples and not only killed people, but also tortured them.

The Japanese pirates had someone leading the way, so they were always able to avoid patrolling officers and soldiers. Whenever they arrived at a village, most of the villagers would be killed or injured.

The harm caused by a Japanese pirate is ten times that of an ordinary pirate. Therefore, although the Japanese pirates only account for less than 20% of the number of pirates, people give people the feeling that they are everywhere.

The officers and soldiers suffered several defeats, and Taizu was furious. In addition, the coastal areas had been occupied by Chen Youliang's troops, so he simply closed the sea and moved all the coastal fishermen to inland.

Taizu hated the weak Song Dynasty and cunning businessmen. At the beginning of the founding of the country, maritime trade could not bring much benefit to the country. Instead, a lot of manpower and material resources were required to prevent pirates.

What's good about doing business? It just makes money from ordinary people and can also corrupt people's hearts.

A large number of fishermen were relocated inland and allocated land, but not long after, they began to lose their land. As they could no longer make a living, they sneaked back to the seaside.

Everyone saw the fishermen secretly going into the sea to catch fish, or taking porcelain and sneaking onto a boat to go out to sea.

Their loved ones watched them disappear at sea, some died at sea, and some returned after a few years.

There were fewer pirates coming ashore, but there were still some. The garrison knew that some people escaped to the sea through this road, so they collected the bodies on the beach and buried them on the roadside to deter fishermen who wanted to fish illegally.

I don't know who started it, but an officer was lazy and only buried the body shallowly. It was revealed after a few days, which scared several fishermen who wanted to go out to sea in the dark.
