Chapter 342 Just Do Your Best
Xiaoqi and his friends followed the crowd to the mountain temple and immediately saw the place where lucky bags were being distributed. They immediately surrounded Grandma Yu and lined up.

Grandma Yu hurriedly said, "Pray to the mountain god first."

The children reluctantly followed Grandma Yu to worship the mountain god. When they approached the door, Xiao Qi saw Pan Yun's back flash by and pointed happily, "It's my benefactor!"

Everyone looked over immediately, but they only had time to see a piece of Pan Yun's clothes.

Pan Yun took County Magistrate Ming to see the free medical consultation.

In Tao Ji's absence, Wang Feiyin took Tao Yanbai to sit in the hall, while Wang Cong was in charge of the management of medicinal materials. He took Miaohe and the medicine boys brought by the doctors, as well as two monks, two nuns, and four little Taoist priests to prepare medicine together.

"These are fellow practitioners from nearby who came to help. Thanks to County Magistrate Ming for inviting Doctor Sheng and the others to come, otherwise we would be even more overwhelmed."

The county magistrate Ming stopped to look and saw that many of the people who came to consult had patched clothes or were even ragged. He couldn't help but sigh, "People's lives are so difficult."

Pan Yun nodded, "It still requires officials like you to work harder."

County Magistrate Ming: "...While what you said is true, it always feels different when it comes from your mouth."

Pan Yun was not convinced: "I'm such a good person..."

"Master Pan..." A high-pitched and excited voice interrupted her. Pan Yun turned her head and looked at the direction of the voice. She immediately left Magistrate Ming and walked forward excitedly, "Master Qian..."

The old and the young held hands together, both with gratitude on their faces.

One of them said, "Master Pan, you are amazing. With such a small amount of money, you can accomplish such a big thing. I looked around and saw that you helped a lot of people today. This temple fair has done a lot of good deeds."

One said, "It's all thanks to the support of good people. If it weren't for you, Mr. Qian, taking the lead, this temple fair might not have been held. Thanks to you... and all the good people."

Pan Yun saw the person behind Master Qian, and County Magistrate Ming also saw him. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked forward.

Master Qian didn't see County Magistrate Ming, but the masters and officials behind him saw him and bowed, "Greetings, County Magistrate."

Only then did Mr. Qian see him and quickly let go of Pan Yun's hand and saluted.

County Magistrate Ming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Today is a day off. I am just an ordinary scholar who came to visit, not a county magistrate. No need to be polite."

Pan Yun complained in his heart: If you have the guts, why don’t you call yourself the head of this county?

No one knew what the others were thinking, but they all looked touched and submissive. However, they were still polite and considerate when talking to County Magistrate Ming.

That’s right, not many people take Pan Yun seriously.

Even though she was the host of this temple fair and the temple priest, no one took the initiative to talk to her except Master Qian.

Wang Cong frowned when he saw this, and wanted to help, but was stopped by Wang Feiyin who was seeing a patient, "Go around and ask the villagers to divide the way. Don't let too many people crowd together. It's almost noon, and more and more people are coming. If the people in the temple are reluctant to leave, you can ask them to go to the old house to eat vegetarian food and separate them. If they are crowded together, it will easily cause trouble."

Wang Cong: "Miao Zhen is over there, she will definitely make arrangements. As for Junior Master..."

Wang Feiyin said angrily: "Can they eat your junior uncle? She is the one in charge. If I don't go, and you don't go either, they can only talk to her no matter how much they look down on her."

He said, "Go without worry. With Master Qian as your loyal believer, your junior uncle will not suffer any loss. Besides, the county magistrate Ming will not look down on her."

One is the largest landlord in the county, and the other is the highest-ranking official in the county. Even if those people look down on Pan Yun, they have to hold it in.

He wanted to let everyone know through this incident that Pan Yun was worthy of being the priest of the mountain temple.

Yes, these masters only talk to Master Qian and Magistrate Ming, and flatter them, but... this is Sanqing Mountain, the mountain god temple, and Pan Yun’s Taoist temple.

Pan Yun clasped his hands and followed silently for a few steps before being pulled to Mr. Qian's side. County Magistrate Ming also asked about the arrangements for the temple fair.

Pan Yun took them through it again.

The first is the issue of safety. Knowing that there would be many people coming, Pan Yun’s first consideration was safety.

So she discussed with the villagers early in the morning that the activity venue would be spread throughout Fenshui Village and half of Sanqing Mountain.

In the end, not only did the villagers of Fenshui Village help for free, but the workers who had been working for her also went back to the village and recruited many young and strong people.

Before entering the village, believers will be divided into three directions to the mountain temple. When entering the territory of Sanqing Mountain, they can first worship the mountain god, or go to get a lucky bag, or go to get cold prevention and treatment medicine and consult a doctor...

In short, different routes have different focuses.

Not all believers choose to visit the mountain temple first.

After finishing one task, go to do another. After visiting the mountain temple, you need to walk up the mountain to the northeast. After reaching the halfway point, turn to another road and go down the mountain a little to get the medicinal materials. There are wooden benches and cushions for rest along the way.

To prevent them from catching cold, there was free ginger tea and rice soup on the road, which were all prepared by the villagers at Pan Yun's expense.

This is only half of it. After all the activities of the temple fair are completed, devout believers who are still reluctant to leave can go for a stroll in the village.

There are many vendors selling things along the way, and the items are cheaper than those in the usual market.

The prices of some defective products were halved again and again, making them extremely cheap.

Very suitable for people from poor families.

Pan Yun also arranged a vegetarian meal in the old house of his eldest brother, and the villagers also helped.

Hungry believers can go and have a bowl of vegetarian meal. Of course, the vegetarian meal is very simple, it is really just a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetable soup.

Wealthy believers would choose to go to the villagers' homes to eat freshly cooked food.

Pan Yun even arranged places for them to go to the bathroom. In addition to the outhouses in the villagers' homes, she also designed 30 toilets along the way. They were all simple triangular structures.

It was built with several pieces of wood, covered with thatch, and a large pit was dug underneath. There were wooden doors that were only as high as the chest, and they were separated into two parts, one on each side.

Thirty points equal sixty toilets.

Even without telling the county magistrate, the landlords and officials who followed were all stunned.

Mr. Qian praised without thinking, and gave a thumbs up, saying: "Pan Miaozhu is very thoughtful."

County Magistrate Ming couldn't help but nod and asked, "What do we do with these toilets after this?"

Pan Yun said, "Let's tear them all down."

County Magistrate Ming frowned. "It looks pretty neat to me, with thick wooden blocks on both sides. Why not keep it and continue using it?"

Pan Yun: "Sewage is fertilizer. They have to hold their shit in and go home to find a toilet. Who will use these toilets after the temple fair is over?"

She paused and said, "Of course, if the villagers want to stay, I have no objection."

County Magistrate Ming felt that her words were indecent, but they were the truth. He paused before saying, "Won't we have to do it again at the temple fair next year?"

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "It's not certain whether there will be a temple fair next year. Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. This toilet is the simplest and easiest. It can be built with a few pieces of wood. It's very convenient."

When County Magistrate Ming heard this, he quickly said, "I think your mountain god temple fair is no worse than the usual temple fairs. Why don't you hold one next year?"

Pan Yun: "It's very exhausting. This year, the weather is not good, so I want to hold a temple fair to liven it up and pray for blessings from the heaven."

She had done too many bad things and too many good deeds in the past period of time. Both the bad things and the good deeds were leaked out at the same time, and she needed to restrain them. She had not found a good solution yet, but her feeling told her that it would be helpful to ask a master for help in this matter.

In addition, she had promised early on to do good deeds for Mr. Pan, so she held this temple fair.

Unless she achieves the same thing next year, she'd better just live quietly.

In fact, there are many ways to do good deeds, some of which are not tiring, but they require more money.

When she earns a little more money next year, she won’t be so tired and can do great deeds.

Everyone present understood the implication of her words, and several masters couldn't help but look at each other.

Although they are cautious about spending money on good deeds, they still like good people.

Otherwise, how could they be so convinced of Mr. Qian?
I am not a good person myself, but I still like to be friends with good people.

At this moment, their impression of Pan Yun was elevated a little bit, and they defined him as a kind person like Master Qian.

Although the other party is young, judging from his explanations and arrangements along the way, he is a capable person.

He is so capable at such a young age. He will definitely achieve great things in the future.

A good person who has achieved great things, well, is worth associating with.

A few of them decided to forgive her for her meddling some time ago, which led to the discovery of their hiring of laborers.

Pan Yun accompanied them for a tour, which took less than an hour, and then let them play on their own while she returned to the mountain temple to continue her duties as a priest.

As a temple priest, she has to answer questions for believers, pray for them, and fulfill their wishes...

It's also very busy.

By the afternoon, people gradually left, and by sunset, the number of people became scarce, but new believers still came.

The doctors packed up their things and went back to the homes of the villagers where they were staying. The monks, Taoists and others who were nearby returned to their own temples, while those who were far away stayed in the Sanqing Temple and the mountain god temple.

They are packing up.

Pan Yun came out and asked those people who came here in a dusty state, "Where are you from?"

Someone said, "From Miaokou Village."

That is the next village in Yushan County, very far away from here, and it takes a day to walk there.

Seeing that they were still wearing straw sandals and thin clothes, Pan Yun stepped aside and let them go into the temple to warm up.

Just as they made way, more than a dozen people came together and said, "We are from Guixi County."

Pan Yun was surprised, "Walked so far?"

They clasped their fists and said devoutly, "We heard that the Sanqingshan Temple is very effective, so we came here to pray to the gods."

Pan Yun began to worry about her master. Could he fulfill their wish?

Pan Yun stepped aside and let them go into the temple to burn incense and make a wish.

Wang Feiyin was leisurely and didn't take this matter to heart. He said to Pan Yun who looked worried, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, wealth, power and beauty, there are too many things people seek in this life. The wishes of believers must pass our test first. We have solved what we can. The ones that cannot be solved are up to the master."

"The extent to which the Divine Light can help all beings is up to His power and efforts. This is not something we can worry about," he said. "For things in this world, we just need to do our best."

Pan Yun murmured: "Just do your best?"
