Chapter 265: Chasing (Update 5)
Pan Jun walked forward angrily, and only stopped after flying a long distance with his Qinggong.
Pan Xiaohei nestled comfortably in Miaohe's arms and laughed at her comfortably.
Pan Yun turned around and glared at it, "If you laugh again, I'll throw you into the ditch."
Pan Xiaohei immediately stopped laughing and meowed, "You got mad outside, but you didn't take it out on the people outside, but on me."
Miao He also said: "That's right, Junior Uncle, don't bully Xiao Hei, the one who is annoying is that Master Liu."
Miaohe touched Pan Xiaohei, rocked it in his arms and comforted it.
Pan Jun took a deep breath and pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a fake smile, "You're right, I won't be angry, let's go and find the next one!"
Miao Zhen: "Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle..."
"Ignore them. The most urgent thing is to earn enough money to do good deeds. Can Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister be lost?"
The Zheng family lives in Zhengjia Village, which is a very large village, almost the size of a town.
The main road is paved with bluestone slabs and has shops and restaurants. There is a big market here every five days, so it is called Zhengjia Village, but it is actually about the size of a town.
However, unlike the town where the Liu family lives, most of the villagers in this village have the surname Zheng and are from the same clan.
There are pros and cons.
The disadvantage is that everything in this village is basically under the control of Master Zheng. Even if they are bullied, no one would think of resisting Master Zheng, and no one would even say bad things about him in private.
In Liye's opinion, Mr. Zheng has the final say. As for important matters, as long as he agrees, the whole village agrees.
Pan Jun didn't want to come to the Zheng family at first because she felt that the Zheng family could not use the formation she was going to give them.
Even if they encountered Japanese pirates or other bandits, they would not get away with anything in Zhengjia Village.
Because Zhengjia Village is very united.
This kind of clan bond can effectively defend against foreign enemies. If she were a Japanese pirate and wanted to rob, she would definitely choose the Liu family instead of the Zheng family.
Mr. Zheng can raise his arm and call for a hundred responses. Can Mr. Liu do the same?
But Master Liu was so stingy that Pan Jun was not one to tolerate being bullied, so she refused to put up with him.
She was short of money, but not that much.
So she decided to try with Mr. Zheng, and if that didn't work, she would look for other ways to make money.
Anyway, there are thousands of ways to make money in the world, and she doesn't believe that she can't make money with her ability.
But what Pan Yun and the other two did not expect was that as soon as Pan Yun opened his mouth, Master Zheng immediately asked someone to take out five hundred taels of silver and bought the formation.
Mr. Zheng was a thin and energetic old man. Coincidentally, he was also wearing a Taoist robe.
Oh, scholars in the Ming Dynasty usually wore Taoist robes, mainly in plain blue and white.
There is a kind of feeling that is like holding a Confucian classic in your hands while being in the Taoist school.
Master Zheng looked at Pan Yun with gentle eyes and said, "As soon as I saw the Taoist priest, I knew that he was a man of great merit and ability. As expected, as soon as the Taoist priest's name was announced, I heard it like thunder."
"With your ability, the five hundred taels are just a small amount of money you have to take out of pity for us," Mr. Zheng said with a smile, "I know that you must get something in return for helping others solve their problems. Otherwise, not only will you be punished, but you will also be punished by heaven for us."
Pan Yun looked at Mr. Zheng with a gentler gaze, and said sincerely, "There are not many people in this world who are as knowledgeable and considerate as Mr. Zheng."
Mr. Zheng laughed and asked, "Did Taoist Sanzhu go to the Liu family first? I heard that Taoist Sanzhu was driven out of the Liu family because he was angry."
Pan Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng got the news really quickly. After I left Liu's house, I went straight to Zhengjia Village. I didn't expect that Mr. Zheng would hear the news before me."
Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "It just so happened that some of the tribesmen went to the town to attend the market. They watched the excitement and came back just when Taoist Sanzhu entered the village."
No wonder he knew who she was as soon as she arrived.
Pan Yun said: "This formation was specially prepared for the Liu family. What a pity~~"
Mr. Zheng asked quickly, "But the Zheng family has offended someone, otherwise why didn't the Taoist priest consider the Zheng family?"
"I just want to remind the Zheng family that with Mr. Zheng's prestige and the unity of Zhengjia Village, the Japanese pirates will not be able to break in if you are prepared."
"But if we can have this magical formation, we can reduce casualties," said Mr. Zheng. "Compared to people and money, people are naturally more important."
Pan Yun sighed and said, "This is the only set of formation flags and formation plates left. It's a pity that Master Liu doesn't have the same understanding as Master Zheng."
Mr. Zheng smiled gently, he understood what Pan Yun meant.
If the Japanese pirates' attack points were the Liu and Zheng families, then the casualties in the Liu family and the town must have been far greater than those in the Zheng family and Zhengjia Village.
So she wanted to protect the Liu family and the townspeople, but she didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so stupid and directly angered her.
Master Zheng carefully examined the formation plate, pushed the box containing the formation flags to Pan Yun, and said solemnly: "Please ask Taoist Sanzhu to help us set up the formation. It would be best if the formation can be expanded a little." Master Zheng said embarrassedly: "Some people's vegetable fields are outside the village. If the Japanese pirates stay for a long time, the village will have vegetables to eat."
Pan Yun: “…Okay.”
Pan Yun took the battle flag, first jumped to the highest point of the village to look down, and then carefully selected five spots to bury the battle flag.
When Mr. Zheng saw her, he saw that she was like a wisp of smoke, floating at one end in a moment and at the other end in the next moment. He was filled with amazement in his heart and eyes.
Pan Yun buried all the formation flags, returned to Master Zheng, and used some hand gestures to reconnect the formation flags and the formation plate.
As soon as the formation plate was opened, Master Zheng saw the small green dot on the formation plate.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a cold wind blew. Mr. Zheng felt that his vision was a little blurry, and the vegetable field in front of him seemed to have drifted to a far place.
"This……"
Pan Yun taught him how to walk towards the array, "This is the bright line, and this is the dark line. As long as people walk on the dark line, they can see the people on the bright line, but the people on the bright line cannot find the people on the dark line."
Under Pan Yun's guidance, Mr. Zheng followed the formation plate and walked a few steps. When he turned around, he found that he was walking at the edge of the vegetable field.
He exhaled and asked, "This is indeed a good formation for an ambush, but it would be better if everyone in the village knew about it. Otherwise, wouldn't we just be confused?"
Pan Yun said: "The array disk has been connected to the array flag. Master Zheng can use the array disk to control whether to activate the array. It is naturally not needed on weekdays, and it is easy to practice."
"This formation may seem complicated at first glance, but it is actually very easy to learn. Mark out the steps on the formation plate. It is a set of five five-step steps going back and forth. In other words, as long as the villagers learn five five-step steps, they will not get lost no matter where they walk in the village."
Mr. Zheng: "Five five-step methods, that means a total of twenty-five steps?"
Pan Yun nodded: "Not bad."
Mr. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "This is fine. It's only 25 steps. Even a child can learn it."
Pan Jun nodded, she thought so too.
Miao Zhen Miao He, however, expressed reservations, "There are always people in this world who are not very talented."
Pan Yun: "Then let him learn three five-step methods. After learning this, he won't die even if he gets lost."
She paused and said, "If you can't even walk fifteen steps, when the pirates come, find a place to hide, hide in the dark and wait for them. If you are lucky enough to meet the pirates, kill them."
Master Zheng agreed, and when he saw five or six small yellow dots appear on the array plate, he was surprised, "Why are there small yellow dots here?"
Pan Yun took a look and said, "A guest has arrived."
When Mr. Zheng heard this, he was afraid that the guests entering the village would get lost, so he quickly used the formation plate to shut down the formation.
When Mr. Liu entered the village, he was startled when he saw the mulberry tree suddenly appear in front of him. The horse was frightened and raised its hooves and neighed. The wheels of the carriage became disordered, and the carriage immediately tilted to the right, and then turned over with a bang.
Master Liu climbed out of the carriage, beating his chest and stamping his feet, "Oh, oh, this is my formation, mine!"
He was so angry that he swung his whip to hit Liu Hei, angrily saying: "How did you drive the carriage? You took the wrong road when you came to Zhengjia Village. You can't even pay for missing the artifact with your life."
Liu Hei, who had been whipped five or six times with his back turned, was unhappy when he heard this and shouted, "You didn't say you were coming to Zhengjia Village, and you asked me to chase the Taoist priest. I couldn't see the Taoist priest, so how could I know she was going to Zhengjia Village? Naturally, I chased her along the main road. Didn't you say anything when I chased her?"
"Bullshit, I told you long ago that if she didn't sell this artifact to me, she would sell it to the guy named Zheng. Who told you to run to the main road?"
"Didn't you say that it's possible to sell it to the county magistrate?" Liu Hei said, "The county magistrate is older than Mr. Zheng, so of course I went to the county first."
"Shut up!" Master Liu was so angry that he whipped him with a whip. The whip hit his face with a snap, leaving a bloody mark. "I say one thing and you say three things back. Who is the master and who is the servant?"
Liu Hei was so angry that he jumped up, grabbed the whip that he was about to whip, pulled it away, threw it to the ground, and stomped on it three times, saying: "Liu Tai, I am not a slave, and you are not my master, but my nephew!"
"Even if I'm not your uncle, you can't do this to me. You said it, I'm the coachman, I followed your instructions, and I went the wrong way. You don't blame yourself, but blame me. It's not me who said I wanted to go find the county magistrate."
"Even if I'm a slave, you can't humiliate me. I got paid for being a gatekeeper and I've done my duty. I'm driving the carriage for you for free and I don't take any wages from you. Not only did you not thank me, but you also scolded me and beat me! Damn it, I'm quitting this job!"
Master Liu was furious, and pointed at Liu Hei with trembling voice, "You, you, you are so rebellious..."
Liu Hei touched his face, spat on him angrily and said, "You are not the emperor. You are rebelling against God. I think you are the one who is rebelling against God."
Mr. Zheng and the butler beside him were stunned.
Pan Jun couldn't help but look at Liu Hei with admiration, "Good man, you are the smart one."
Mr. Zheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pan Yun. Is this a smart person?
This is the reverse of Tiangang, right?
Moreover, why did she call him a good man but not call him and Lao Liu good men?
Only then did Mr. Liu and his group notice Pan Yun and Mr. Zheng and his group standing on the side of the road.
good night
