Chapter 261 A Lot of Merit
Wang Wen despised him in his heart. Although he was on good terms with Wang Zhen, he would not flatter him by calling him "father-in-law".

In his heart, he looked down on Ma Shun, and his back straightened a little, but he responded, "Please tell Mr. Wang that I will investigate the treasure in detail."

Wang Wen brought two imperial censors, and Wang Shan brought a team of Jinyiwei. The group had no chance to go home and left the city directly after receiving the order.

This is also the court's rule, to prevent officials from communicating with each other, passing information, accepting bribes, etc.

This is a rule that Zhu set specifically to prevent officials from corruption, bribery, and buying and selling information.

There is no need to worry about officials having no money when they go out, because they don't have to spend any money along the way.

Oh, that’s what Lao Zhu envisioned.

Officials stayed at the post station free of charge;

Eat at the post station, free of charge;

When they arrived at the place, there were local post stations to entertain them. He had made thoughtful arrangements for officials of different ranks to live in different rooms and eat different meals.

As for the extra consumption, it is unnecessary for Lao Zhu, so it is not taken into consideration.

Wash and change clothes. It is common for a man not to take a bath for ten days or half a month.

Do you take medicine when you are sick? If you get sick even when you go out, it means your body is not in good condition and you need to exercise more...

Therefore, many officials who left the capital would always take off their official robes under the watchful eyes of the public, and then sneak back to pack their luggage and get money...

Officials whose families were poor had to go out and borrow money before they could leave the city.

Of course, Wang Wen doesn't need to do this.

As soon as he left the city, he slowed down. Soon, his family, who had received the letter from him, sent servants to bring him his luggage and money.

Wang Shan and the others don’t need it.

As Jinyiwei, it was easy for them to make money and they didn't need any money from their families.

The group quickly headed towards Fujian. Among the Jinyiwei, Liu Jing's face looked particularly gloomy and ugly.

At the beginning of the year, there was still no trace of the disappeared Wang Yong, so Cao Ye reported that he had not taken good care of his colleagues and had demoted him to the lowest-ranking Jinyiwei.

Liu Jing wandered in the plum forest more than once and stepped on the blood-stained ground, but after hesitating and resentful, he still did not dig out the body.

Whether he took the initiative to report it or someone discovered it accidentally, Wang Yong was dead. He had already suffered the consequences of his disappearance. Digging up the body would only aggravate the consequences and would not exempt him from punishment.

If that’s the case, why bother?
He wants to keep this body.

A voice in Liu Jing's heart told him that this corpse would be of great benefit to him and would definitely be useful in the future!
Wang Shan turned around and saw Liu Jing immediately lowering his head, sitting on the horse with his eyes cast down and his back slightly bent, appearing very humble.

"Let's speed up. If we can, we can come back to celebrate the New Year this year. Otherwise, we will have to spend the New Year alone."

Everyone agreed, and one of the Jinyiwei said with a smile: "We are not alone, we have adults with us, right? It is a great honor for us to be able to spend the New Year with adults outside."

Wang Shan raised the corner of his mouth and rode his horse faster.

Wang Wen and the two imperial censors were riding in a carriage. Seeing them speed up, they also asked the driver to speed up.

At this time, Pan Yun, who had left Quanzhou, also asked Tao Ji to drive faster.

The golden progress bar of her spiritual realm was moving forward with a ding-dong sound. With this pleasant sound, Pan Jun felt warm all over and she wanted to feel the wind.

So Tao Ji was asked to speed up, as she wanted to face the wind.

Xuanmiao looked at her steadily, and after a moment he said, "We won't go to Changzhou Prefecture, let's go back to the mountain."

Pan Yun frowned and asked, "Why?"

Xuanmiao: "You are about to break through, can't you feel it?"

Pan Jun was stunned, looked down at her stomach, then closed her eyes and looked inward.

She did not practice, and her Dantian was calm and still full of energy, but she did not make any further progress.

"There's no change in my Dantian, and my Yuanli hasn't increased either."

Xuan Miao looked at the top of her head and said, "It's almost there."

"what?"

Xuanmiao said: "When I first saw you on the beach, you had a dark cloud over your head, and it looked like you were going to die at any moment. After you finished talking to Ashin, the dark cloud on your head dissipated a little."

"Haven't you noticed? You look better and better these past two days, and your whole person is getting brighter and brighter. Your aura is so friendly that people can't help but get close to you."

Pan Yun: "It sounds like a merit stone."

Xuanmiao nodded: "You have great merits, and they are still increasing. I don't know where these merits come from, but they should be related to your suppression of bandits."

"Go back to the mountain. When your merits increase to a certain level, you will advance even if you don't practice. Besides," she paused, "you are the disciple of the mountain god. You will always be unlucky. It is better to break through while you have merits. When lightning strikes you, give your merits some face so that you will suffer less."

She said, "Changzhou Prefecture is not far from Sanqing Mountain. Once you have achieved success in your cultivation, you can go there anytime."

Pan Yun thought of the experience of being struck by lightning when she advanced in the 26th century. At that time, there was a weak lightning rod to help her, but she was still struck so hard that she was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and she almost died. Pan Yun shuddered and said quickly: "Senior sister is right, I will think about where the merit points come from, let's get more, so that we can survive the thunder tribulation."

"So, Senior Sister, merit can weaken the thunder tribulation, right?"

Xuan Miao looked at her steadily for a while, and nodded in response to her expectation, "Okay."

Tao Ji, who was standing by, also said, "Big Brother survived the thunder tribulation. Except for the first time when he had no experience, he got through it by himself in a daze. As for the second time, two years before he felt it, he started traveling around and doing good deeds crazily, accumulating a lot of merit."

When Pan Yun heard this, he immediately said, "I want to do good things too!"

Miao Zhen: "Uncle Junior, aren't you planning to use 800 taels to rebuild Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village?"

"How can eight hundred taels be enough?" Pan Yun said, "Add more money to make it an integer, and add up to one thousand taels. And we can't just count Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. We can't let them be envied, jealous and hated. We should also include the surrounding villages. All of them."

Seeing how generous she was, Xuanmiao asked her, "How much money do you have?"

Pan Jun began to search in the spiritual space with his head down. Including the money "borrowed" from Miao Zhenmiao and there, there was probably about two thousand three hundred taels. This was mainly because Zhu Zixun had too much money on him, and he also searched out some from other Japanese pirates.

"Two thousand three hundred taels, not counting the change, that can be used as my living expenses."

Xuanmiao said, "Leave three hundred taels for charity at Mount Sanqing, and you can spend the rest."

Pan Yun was curious: "Does merit have to be rewarded in a designated place?"

Xuanmiao: "You are going through the tribulation on Mount Sanqing, so you must do some good for Master."

Pan Jun thought what she said made sense. "Three hundred taels is so stingy. I'll make it an even number, five hundred taels!"

Xuan Miao was about to frown when Pan Yun said, "Ah Xin said that the lands of several of their villages were eventually bought by the Zheng and Liu families. After he followed Song Bei, he never went ashore to rob anything. He only robbed at sea and occasionally went ashore to smuggle."

"He had robbed merchant ships from Zheng and Liu families at sea, and had also bought things from Song Bei and Zheng and Liu families. So, it's been a long time since the two families had been dealing with Japanese pirates through maritime trade and smuggling."

Xuanmiao: "Are you going to report them?"

Pan Yun shook his head. "I'm not an official. Why should I sue them? The sea is closed now. If they don't do smuggling, others will. I won't do anything that harms others and does not benefit myself. But I can go and warn them and earn some hard-earned money."

If she pooled the money together, she could do some good deeds.

If Xuanmiao didn't stop him, Tao Ji would have no objection.

Pan Yun asked Miao Zhen and Miao He, "Do you want to go with me?"

They both nodded.

It just so happened that the town was just ahead and the Liu family was there. She asked Tao Ji to stop the car and then take out all her makeup treasures from the spiritual space.

While taking it, she was distractedly checking the records in the spiritual realm.

It is shown above that the merit from XXX is +2, the merit from XXX is +1, the merit from XXX is +5...

Pan Jun quickly scanned them with his spiritual sense and found that he didn't recognize any of them. The one with the highest merit value was a large area of ​​+5, followed by a large number of +2 and +1. It was really a large number, no, a huge amount, densely packed together.

It is still increasing now, and the speed is particularly uniform.

[Pan Xiaohei, could it be that these merit points came from the people along the coast? Are they thanking me for killing the Japanese pirates?]

Pan Xiaohei: "I am in the spiritual realm, not the heavenly way, you ask about the Merit Stone."

The Merit Stone is the object that connects to the Way of Heaven, and only it knows how the Way of Heaven calculates.

The spiritual realm can reveal the "merit value from XXX" because the formation plus the algorithm within the spiritual realm captures the information on the merit stone and displays it.

Pan Yun pondered, [If you can become a spirit, why can't the Merit Stone be used as well? ]

Pan Xiaohei laughed and said, "I have existed for so many years, and I have practiced for so many years. Look at that stone again..."

It suddenly fell silent.

Pan Yun laughed, "Why don't you say anything? Why aren't you so proud? Did you find out that the Merit Stone has been around for quite a while? Even longer than you?"

"Impossible!" Pan Xiaohei paused and laughed, "Even if it's taller than me, so what? A stone is just a stone. It doesn't have any spirituality."

Pan Yun touched his chin, [It used to be just a stone that connected heaven and earth and all things, a stone that recorded merits and grudges. Few living things knew about it, and the way of heaven didn't care about it. But now it is in my Niwan Palace. I pay so much attention to it every day, and recite more scriptures to it. Will it really not become a spirit? ]

Pan Xiaohei laughed and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can take all the benefits of the world?"

Pan Jun smiled, and just as her consciousness was about to exit the Niwan Palace and start putting on makeup, she saw a large area of ​​merit suddenly appear in the spiritual realm, and at the same time, there was a continuous ding-dong sound.

Pan Jun took a quick glance and saw the names of Ashin and others.

She raised her eyebrows, [It seems that the amulet and good luck charm that I asked the fourth sister to send have found their hands. ]

[They had already gone to the island. Even Chen Wen was not on land. However, Fourth Senior Sister was able to ask someone to send talismans to them. My Senior Sister is really amazing~~]

Pan Xiaohei said nothing, but he also found it mysterious and powerful.

As soon as Pan Jun opened his eyes, he was met with a mysterious gaze.
