Chapter 31 Merit
At the moment when the deafening cry of grief rang out, Pan Yun seemed to sense something and opened his eyes to look towards the sky.

The black cat that liked to lie on the beams recently suddenly stood up, and stared at Pan Jun with its glass-like eyes as if shining.

It meowed, jumped down from the beam and flew into Pan Yun's arms.

After being hugged by her, it meowed. Pan Yun's ears were filled with its excited cries, "Do you feel it? Do you feel it? The seal is broken!"

Pan Yun hugged it tightly, gritting his teeth and saying in his mind: [Be quiet, or I’ll throw you out if you make any more noise! ​​]

Sure enough, because the black cat kept calling, many people were looking at her while crying. Doctor Zhang and Eunuch Qian were even more dissatisfied, and Zhu Youjue on the side was on the verge of getting angry.

Pan Yun held the black cat in his arms, raised his eyelids to meet everyone's gaze, and said expressionlessly: "The black cat is a spirit that wards off evil spirits. It said that the prince is here, and I am very happy."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could not help but look around, watching the void tremble slightly, especially those who had met King Zhou in his dream. They could not help but huddle together, and there was a bit of fear in their crying.

King Zhou, who was standing aside and listening to the imperial edict, said: …

Pan Yun frowned: "What are you afraid of? King Zhou is such a good man, even if he comes back, he won't scare us."

When everyone heard what she said, they felt that it made sense, so they stopped shaking and clapped their hands on the ground and cried, "My Lord, you are such a good person, how could you leave?"

The crying suddenly reached such a high pitch that even people outside the mansion could hear the deafening sound.

King Zhou nodded in satisfaction, and also gave Pan Yun face, floating up and flying towards his coffin.

As it flew over the heads of the crowd, a slight gust of cold wind blew and everyone felt it.

Seeing that the trees not far away did not move at all, everyone began to make some guesses.

The little boy Zhu Tongqie, who was kneeling beside him, was caressed by the wind. He looked up curiously and turned his head. When he saw King Zhou sitting on the coffin, his eyes lit up. He pulled his father and said, "Grandpa, Grandpa..."

Zhu Zijin raised his head, quickly pressed down Zhu Tongqie's hand, turned around and kowtowed to the coffin, "Father, are you really back to see us?"

Everyone cried more sincerely.

Doctor Zhang and Eunuch Qian's hearts trembled. They bowed repeatedly in the direction of the coffin and did not breathe a sigh of relief until they left the mourning hall.

The two looked at each other. Although King Zhou was a good man, they should come to Kaifeng less often in the future.

Zhu Youjue looked at the coffin with a complicated expression, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

Tao Ji quietly moved to Pan Yun's side and asked in a low voice, "Is King Zhou still here?"

Pan Jun said "hmm".

Tao Ji was worried, "Today is the seventh day. If he doesn't leave, will he stay and become a ghost?"

The princess and Zhu Zijin were also worried about this. After crying for a while, they came to find the three people, hoping that they could perform a ritual to send King Zhou away properly. "Ask the prince on our behalf if there is anything he needs, and we will burn it for him."

In fact, there was no need to perform any rituals. King Zhou was satisfied. At this time, his soul had faded and it wouldn't take long for him to go to where he should go by himself.

But if the master asked them to do it, they could do it.

After all, after performing a ritual, ghosts can indeed move more smoothly and faster.

Pan Yun and King Zhou looked at each other and nodded.

But she didn't move, because she came from the 26th century and only knew two spells to send away ghosts. One was to smash it directly, making its soul fly away. Well, this was not suitable for King Zhou.

The other is a mnemonic, just one sentence and a hand gesture, which is extremely simple and clear, and can allow the ghost to find the way and leave instantly.

What they value in the 26th century is efficiency.

This era is different.

After Xuanmiao heard their requirements for the ritual, Guanghun Banner asked for several things, including a peach wood sword, incense and candles, clean bottles, spring water, five kinds of animals, King Zhou's favorite food, clothes, etc.
Xuanmiao even had to write a memorial text, which included summoning the soul, comforting the soul, and sending off the soul, etc.

Xuanmiao explained to the confused Pan Yun while writing.

Pan Yun frowned and asked, "Why is it so troublesome when it can be done with just a few words and some hand gestures?"

After Xuanmiao finished writing the eulogy, he looked up at her and said, "People come to this world clean, and when they leave, they may not be as clean as when they first arrived, but at least they should be clear. In this life, were his merits more than his sins? He should reflect deeply under the soul-calling banner.

The rituals to comfort the souls not only comfort the living, but also point out a path for the deceased, letting them know in advance how to pass through Hades’ palace.”

Pan Yun: "But aren't all the words in the memorial good?"

Xuanmiao smiled and said, "Who said that sacrificial texts are all good words? Being able to hide a person's mistakes in a lifetime in a sacrificial text is a real skill. Moreover, the most important thing in performing rituals is to ask the soul, ask the soul you summon, its inner heart, and make it reflect on itself. If you can't ask its inner heart, then it means that your skill is not good enough."

Tao Ji said sadly: "If you don't have enough skills, you can't even get a Taoist certificate."

Soon, Pan Yun saw the power of the rituals in this world. With the soul-calling banner, the already pale figure of King Zhou solidified again, and the burned clothes appeared on him, and King Zhou looked brand new from head to toe.

As she performed the mysterious steps and chanted the spell, Pan Yun felt a strange aura. She was in a trance for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, King Zhou was already bathed in a golden light...

Pan Yun couldn't help but hold her breath. She felt the attraction of the golden light to her, or rather, the attraction to the spiritual realm in her Niwan Palace.

what is this?
[This is the golden light of merit!] The black cat in her arms was so quiet that she even lowered her voice when speaking in her mind.

[The opening of the seal must be related to it, Pan Yun, suck it! ]

Pan Yun did not move, but just looked at King Zhou with burning eyes as he bathed in the golden light of his merits.

The old man and the young man looked at each other from a distance. King Zhou smiled slightly, and his figure gradually faded. When the last trace of his soul disappeared, a ray of golden light flew from him to Pan Yun...

This was a gift given to Pan Yun voluntarily by King Zhou. Although he didn't know what it was used for, since the black cat was so concerned about it, it must be a good thing.

He had a very happy seven days. He was able to fulfill his wish after his death and was very satisfied that his life was not in vain.

He was a lonely soul and had nothing to give to the child, so he decided to give her and the black cat something that they coveted.

King Zhou gradually disappeared. In the eyes of everyone in the palace, Xuanmiao just walked in front of the mourning hall and chanted a spell. The clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the obstructed sunlight poured down all at once, and the whole sky became bright.

The white clouds took on color under the sunlight. The clouds floated not far above the palace, and they seemed to be swimming, rolling back and forth in place.

And when Xuanmiao stopped and finished making the gesture, a ray of sunlight shone on Pan Yun's face, making people unable to look away for a moment.

Although it was just a ray of sunshine, for some reason, Zhu Zijin felt that it was his father's will before he left, so he not only gave a plate of silver to Xuanmiao who performed the ritual, but also gave one to Pan Yun.

Pan Jun reached out to take it with a shameful look on his face, his movements were very quick and decisive.

In just two months, she had to take three requests for money alone. She was really embarrassed.

Pan Yun brought the money back to the room. As soon as the door was closed, she immediately put down the tray and sat cross-legged on the bed.

The black cat was so anxious that he turned around and begged, "Please let me in. I won't cheat until I have firmly unlocked the seal and come out.

Pan Yun opened his eyes and looked at it quietly.

The black cat knew she was suspicious, and raised his paw, wishing he could cut his heart out for her to see. "Really, we've been working together for so long, and I'm used to being in a cat's body. I will never lie to you. I just went in to stabilize the seal that I've unlocked. Otherwise, it will keep vibrating, and you'll feel uncomfortable, right?"

Pan Yun reached out and gently stroked its little head, saying softly: "Of course I believe you. You forgot that we have a contract. And I'm not afraid of your rebellion. At worst, I can just seal it again."

The black cat's body stiffened. Yes, they had a contract, and Pan Jun dared to take the risk, but it didn't. Now the black cat didn't doubt itself, but began to doubt Pan Jun. She was a very fierce and lonely person. Would she want to lead it into a trap and seal it directly after it entered?

Pan Yun withdrew his hand, adjusted his breathing and said, "Come in."

The black cat gritted his teeth and gave it a try.

A ray of light flew out from the black cat's body and instantly sank into Pan Yun's forehead.

After returning to his own spiritual body, Jing Ling sighed comfortably, and then plunged in to see the unsealed part.

Pan Yun's spiritual consciousness is also in the Niwan Palace, and she is also looking for the reason why it was unsealed.

But in her Niwan Palace, the most conspicuous thing at this moment, besides the spiritual realm, was a floating golden cloud.

Pan Jun recognized at a glance that it was the good thing given to her by King Zhou. She felt very comfortable at the time. At this time, her spiritual consciousness touched the golden cloud, and not only did her soul become stronger, but her whole body also felt extremely comfortable.

The spirit floated out from the spiritual realm, envious, but inside Pan Yun's Niwan Palace, it did not dare to move.

"It's your own merit that opened the seal," Jing Ling said, "Have you noticed that the fates of those dying people in the Zhou Palace have all changed. Zhu Tongqie, the six wives of the Zhou King, and the servants around the Zhou King have all turned their lives around. Even Zhu Zijin's fate has changed. God has rewarded you for your merits."

Pan Yun: "It turns out that merit is the key to opening the seal. The country spent so much on you in your previous life, and it was all wasted, including my eight years of spiritual energy."

Jing Ling pretended that he didn't hear the second half of the sentence and continued, "Merit is indeed more useful than spiritual energy. I was sealed only once and have no experience in unsealing. If I had known earlier..."

It could have woken up in the previous life. I believe Pan Yun’s country would be willing to put it on every good person to absorb merit together.

Pan Jun thought for a moment, "What's in the seal you unlocked?"

After taking a look, Jing Ling said, "Seven of the Thirteen Secrets of Taoist Qi, and the first volume of talisman practice."

Pan Yun was cheered up. What is the most lacking thing in the 26th century?
That is the complete practice method, as well as talismans. Many talismans in later generations are based on existing research, but there are almost no details about the use of the brush and the exercise of power, etc., which all depend on current research, learning and development.

Ancient methods, whenever a complete ancient method is discovered, it will shock the country.

She now has a whole volume?
There are also cultivation methods.
