Chapter 262 The Incorrect Merit Value of the Japanese Pirates

Xuan Miao was looking at her seriously and asked, "What were you doing just now? Do you know that you are now like the merit stone that the senior brother brought you back? Everyone who sees you wants to take a bite of you and take you for themselves!"

Miaozhen and Miaohe stood close to Pan Yun, hugged her arms tightly and said, "Master, we will definitely protect you."

Xuanmiao glanced at the two of them and said, "Wipe your saliva."

Miao He reached out and wiped her mouth, while Miao Zhen shyly buried her head in Pan Yun's neck. After a moment, she raised her red face and said, "Fourth Master, I don't know why I like Junior Master so much today."

Tao Ji: "I saw my junior sister today and I think she is very well behaved. She is not as annoying as before."

Pan Yun: "... Third Senior Brother, be careful with your words. When did I ever become annoying?"

Xuanmiao looked at Miaozhen, then at Miaohe, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You two are also good children."

Xuanmiao took out the yellow talisman and cinnabar box.

Her cinnabar box was unique. It was a long box with two layers, upper and lower. You pinched the small ring on the upper layer and pulled it out. Inside were three ink boxes connected together, distributed in a circle.

She put the ink cartridge aside and pulled out the lower layer, revealing three separate small round boxes that fit neatly into the long box.

She opened the first round box, which contained red cinnabar, which was obviously cinnabar powder ground from the best quality cinnabar.

Just as she was about to push away Miao Zhenmiao and Pan Yun, who was putting on makeup, she immediately moved over to take a look.

Xuanmiao glanced at her and picked up a small stone spoon beside him, scooped some cinnabar and put it into the ink box.

She took out a lot of bottles and jars to prepare cinnabar ink.

Pan Yun smelled the scent of spiritual energy in the liquid dripping from a bottle.

She sniffed her nose and asked Xuanmiao, "Senior Sister, is this spiritual liquid?"

Xuanmiao said "hmm", and when everything was ready, he reached out to Tao Ji.

Tao Ji pulled out a thick, short needle from his needle bag and gave it to her.

Xuanmiao pricked the ring finger of his left hand and forced out three drops of blood.

Pan Yun and the other two were stunned and couldn't remember what they were going to do.

Xuanmiao took out three peach wood plates, mixed cinnabar ink and blood, then dipped them in cinnabar and drew a formation on them.

Pan Jun looked carefully at the direction of the runes and found that he had never seen this formation before, so he looked at it more seriously.

The last stroke was slightly hooked, forming a closed loop. A flash of inspiration passed by, and the runes on the peach wood plate became looming, and disappeared after a moment. Looking from a distance, it looked like several auspicious clouds connected together were painted on the peach wood plate.

Xuanmiao put the painted peach wood card aside and picked up the next one to continue.

She had strong energy and drew three peach wood cards in succession.

"This is a secret card. It can hide some of your special qualities," Xuanmiao looked at Pan Yun. "Your virtues are too dazzling. This secret card may not have much effect on you, but you have profound skills. If you can keep using your energy to activate it, the effect should be greater."

Xuanmiao handed them three peach wood cards and taught them how to activate them and wear them on their bodies.

"However, since you want to make money, you can take down this wooden sign at the right time." Xuanmiao said: "With this merit, even the most cunning person in the world will respect you and believe in you."

Pan Yun: "Will they want to harm us?"

Xuanmiao: "Who knows? When evil people kneel before God, they will honestly confess their sins. Some will sincerely repent, and some will ask Bodhisattva for a heart and ask God for longevity after repentance. Who knows what color the heart of the person you meet is?"

It's still a little short of being wonderful. In the eyes of outsiders, Pan Yun is now like a merit stone that has just been contaminated with merit.

Xuanmiao said: "Either you advance quickly, or you find a way to collect merits. Otherwise, you will attract demons and monsters before attracting the evil ones."

Pan Yun agreed and soaked the makeup solution first, then grabbed Pan Xiaohei who was lying on the side and asked in her heart: [With so much merit, why don’t you absorb it? ]

Pan Xiaohei sneered, "After this battle with the Japanese pirates, you have figured it out, haven't you? The spirit realm only borrowed the power of merit to break the seal, and did not consume it. It is your merit, and it is always with you. If you commit a sin, it will naturally offset some of the merit."

Pan Yun: [I have done a lot of good deeds before, but they have never been apparent...]

"That's because the quantitative change is not enough to cause a qualitative change," Pan Xiaohei paused, "But I'm also curious, how did you suddenly gain so much merit? It's been several days since you killed the Japanese pirates, and the way of heaven doesn't distinguish between good and evil, so you're losing merit by killing, right?"

Pan Jun was also confused.

But soon, she figured it out.

Pan Yun put on makeup, her temples turned white, and she changed into a Taoist robe, transforming herself into Pan Sanzhu, the reclusive Taoist master who frequented Mr. Huang's house.

Miaozhen and Miaohe also changed into clean Taoist robes. One of them held a sword and the other held a cat. They followed Pan Yun into the town with their hands clasped together and their brows lowered.

In order not to disrupt their actions, Xuanmiao and Tao Ji changed into casual clothes and drove behind them.

Seeing the three people hustling at the town entrance, the two were stunned.

Xuanmiao gradually came back to his senses and fell silent.

Tao Ji also closed his open mouth and murmured, "I seem to see the eldest and second brothers."

Xuanmiao was silent for a very long time, until Pan Yun and the others disappeared before he said, "Let's go, let's go in and find an inn to stay in. Didn't Junior Sister ask us to buy some food?"

"Oh." Tao Ji slapped his horse's butt and went into the town silently. The town was quite lively. It was early winter and the fields were not too busy. Everyone would get together to chat when they had time and set up a stall to sell things.

Pan Yun and the others put the peach wood token into the space, and it emitted a soft golden light as soon as it appeared.

Especially Pan Jun, she had her back to the sun, and when everyone turned their heads to look at her, they felt that she was emitting golden light all over her body, which attracted people to come closer involuntarily.

Someone immediately left his stall and ran up. After seeing Pan Yun's face, he grinned happily, "Where are you going, Taoist priest? Why don't you come to my house for dinner? My house is not far from here."

Others also crowded forward. At this time, there was a magical power on Pan Yun and the other two that made people involuntarily approach them, but they did not dare to offend them, so they squeezed among themselves.

"Master, please come to my house. I'll ask my wife to kill a chicken."

"What's there to be proud of in killing a chicken? Taoist priest, come to my house and I'll let my father kill a pig!"

Pan Yun raised his hand to stop their quarrel and asked, "What were you talking about just now? I seemed to hear the word pirate?"

"Oh, it's about three powerful Taoist priests who appeared along the coast. They descended from the sky and killed all the Japanese pirates who came to offend them."

"The damn Japanese pirates are finally dead. This is our revenge. They killed my aunt's entire family."

"My uncle's family lived in Shuangling Village, which is next to Shuangyang Village. When they were returning home from the fields, they happened to run into Japanese pirates from Shuangyang Village and were hacked into eight pieces. They were worse than animals."

"We are discussing setting up a longevity tablet for the three Taoist priests."

"I heard that the people of Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village are going to build a temple for the three Taoist priests. When the time comes, we will go and pay our respects to them and ask for their blessings so that the pirates will never come here again."

"There aren't many people left in Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village, right? Can they build an ancestral hall?"

"Hey, it's not enough to rely on them alone. Aren't there other villages? We are all related, and everyone can help. We decided to build the ancestral hall between Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village. When the time comes, I will push a cart of stones there, and this ancestral hall will also be considered to have my share of credit."

Pan Jun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are the names of the three Taoist priests?"

"It is said that one is called Sanzhu, one is called Sishui, and the other is called Wuhuo."

"This name is easy to remember. Three, four, five, we remember it right away."

Pan Yun: “…What a good name.”

Is she going to change her name again?

I was a little reluctant to change it. "Who told you? Did they tell you how old the three Taoist priests are?"

"That's not what they said. They just said that the three Kun Daoists were very powerful, especially the Taoist Priest Sanzhu. It is said that she can fly into the sky and explode into a ball of fireworks. The fireworks fell down and killed all the Japanese pirates who surrounded her."

Pan Jun felt relieved immediately, with a kind smile on his face, and nodded, "This Taoist priest Sanzhu is amazing. He blew himself into fireworks but didn't die."

Although Pan Yun was very amiable, the townspeople were still unhappy to hear her say this. They said, "Master Sanzhu is certainly very powerful. I heard that she fought one against a hundred and killed a hundred Japanese pirates by herself. She killed all the Japanese pirates who came to plunder Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village some time ago."

Pan Yun: ...No wonder her merits and virtues are increasing rapidly. Who spread this rumor?
She did kill the Japanese pirates, but she didn't kill that group of pirates. She felt guilty about taking the merit points!

Pan Yun swallowed and asked, "Excuse me, who spread this news? Is it true?"

"Really, that's real. It was the news brought back by the scholar from Quanzhou. I heard that they went to the beach to see for themselves. The forest by the beach was full of Japanese pirates' heads, and the ground was full of newly piled graves. How could what the scholar said be false?"

Pan Jun felt even more depressed. It was over. This rumor would be even harder to dispel.

The Japanese pirates are not in the right place. If the surviving villagers of Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village find out about this, they will be very angry and resentful of her, right?

No, she had to explain.

Otherwise, no matter how much they love her now, they will hate her even more after the truth is revealed, and she cannot bear the backlash.

Pan Yun decided to make a quick decision and asked, "Excuse me, how do we get to the Liu family?"

"Landlord Liu's house?"

"Yes, the Liu family, the richest family in your town with the most land."

The townspeople were disappointed after hearing this, and two of them even argued, "Master, the food in my house is also delicious."

"Master, my family can still give you some wine to drink."

Pan Jun thanked him with great gratitude, "It's just that I have something to do with the Liu family, so I have to go to the Liu family."

The townspeople could only show her the way.

Some even gave up their stalls and personally led people to the Liu family’s gate.

There was also an old man who, in order to curry favor with her, squeezed through the crowd flexibly, went forward and banged on the door, shouting, "Liu Hei, open the door, open the door quickly!"

Liu Hei slammed the door open, poked his head out angrily and said, "What... are you doing..."

He was startled to see so many people, and his voice immediately dropped an octave. He said in a hollow voice, "Our master said that this year we will not lend money, but only grain. We will repay the money with grain, and we will not bargain."

Borrowing food and paying back money, what a novel and creative way of borrowing.
