Chapter 343 Merit Value

"That's right," Wang Feiyin nodded and said, "Please use all your heart before you do it, and try your best when you do it. After you're done, just let it go. You've done your best. If you keep thinking about it, won't it just cause trouble?"

"Look at the number of people who came to pray to God today. There must be at least a thousand, right? If you take all the worries of so many people to heart, will you still be able to live?"

Wang Feiyin stroked his beard and said, "When you should care, you should care. When you should let go, you should let go. As a person, you should learn to give up and forget. That way you won't suffer or feel pain."

After hearing this, Pan Jun's anxiety faded away and he was no longer so impetuous.

Wang Feiyin nodded slightly after looking at her, and sent her away, saying, "Since they are here, arrange for them to stay. Don't let them catch a cold and get sick."

Pan Yun agreed and immediately went to arrange a place for them to live.

As soon as she left, Huiyuan, who was staying overnight, stood beside Wang Feiyin and chanted a Buddhist name, saying, "When it comes to guiding people, Master Wang is still the best."

Wang Feiyin: "She is just young, she just needs some experience. She is very clear-headed and can understand things at once. She is not like some people who are stubborn and go against the grain the more they talk to her."

Huiyuan asked with a smile: "From the tone of your voice, Master Wang has met such a person? I wonder who it is?"

Wang Feiyin waved his hand and said, "There is no need to mention an unimportant person. There are many people staying in the village tonight, so please ask Master Huiyuan to help take care of them."

Huiyuan agreed immediately and said softly, "This temple fair is more beneficial to the people than our Sanqing Festival, and it is also more grand. If we hold it again next year, I'm afraid it will completely overshadow the Sanqing Festival."

"Alas, it's all built up with money," Wang Feiyin sighed, "We spent so much money this year that we won't be able to hold it next year, and we don't know when we'll be able to hold it next time."

Huiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when a resentful voice came from behind him, "When we held the Sanqing Grand Ceremony, you Sanqing Mountain always said you had no money. When it was your turn to host, you hosted it in a very shabby way. But when we held the Mountain God Temple Fair, you were very generous, not only donating rice, but also medicine, and free vegetarian meals..."

The two men turned around and saw that it was Taoist Priest Ji Dao. They moved their feet a little to let him get in between.

Taoist Master Jidao walked silently forward to stand between the two men, then turned and stared at Wang Feiyin.

Wang Feiyin: "Why are you looking at me? I'm just a part-time worker. The money for this temple fair is not from me. It's all earned by Pan the temple master, my junior sister."

Not to mention Taoist Master Jidao, even Master Huiyuan was half-believing and half-doubting.

Hui Yuan hesitated and asked, "Could it be a gift that the young Taoist priest received after he broke through to the First Marquis?"

This reminded Wang Feiyin. He pulled his beard and said, "My junior sister has broken through to the first level and officially entered the Dao. I really need to hold a banquet to invite everyone to meet her. It just so happens that everyone is here this time. So, I will treat everyone to a meal tomorrow. Everyone..."

Ji Dao turned and left.

Huiyuan smiled at Wang Feiyin and turned to leave.

Wang Feiyin's surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Wang Feiyin exhaled, covered his waist and sighed as he walked up the mountain, "It's a gift for celebration. It doesn't matter if I give it early or late, I might as well take advantage of the opportunity..."

As night falls, the bustling village gradually becomes quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs.

The Sanqing Temple was busy. Miaozhen had boiled some hot water, and everyone took a bucket of it away. After bathing and changing clothes, Wang Cong arranged for people to go down the mountain to stand guard at night. "Miaozhen and Yanbai will rest first. Junior Sister Miaohe and I will go down the mountain to stand guard at night. You can come and replace us in the second half of the night."

Just as he finished making the arrangements, Wang Feiyin pressed his head and said, "Go to bed, your Junior Master and I will be with you tonight."

Wang Cong paused for a moment before saying, "Dad, Junior Master is also tired after a day, is she going to be on duty for one night?"

Wang Feiyin: "She is already the first marquis. She won't die if she doesn't sleep for one night. But you may die suddenly if you don't sleep for one night. Go to bed quickly. You will be busy tomorrow."

Wang Feiyin just went up the mountain to take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, and then found a stone in the mountains to meditate in the moonlight.

Pan Yun also arranged the people in the temple. When the mountain god temple became quiet, she sat cross-legged on the cushion in front of the mountain god statue and closed her eyes to rest.

Pan Xiaohei, who had disappeared for a day, appeared from somewhere, ran over to Pan Jun's thigh, and jumped lightly onto the platform. He lay beside the legs of the mountain god statue, looking at Pan Jun and the dark square behind her with his round eyes.

"I've checked for you," Pan Xiaohei meowed, "There were a few dishonest people staying in the villagers' homes, but they are all lying down now."

Pan Jun responded and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Pan Xiaohei: "It's rare that you would say something soft to me."

Pan Yun: "Tomorrow there will be more people coming, and they will be more diverse. There are many good people in this world, but there are also many bad people. I need to ensure that no one's life or property is threatened here in these three days. I am on duty at night, but I can't take care of it during the day. Can you help me?"

Pan Xiaohei was silent for a moment and then said, "I can."

Pan Yun smiled slightly, "After the temple fair is over, I'll go to the market and buy two kilograms of small fish and fry them for you."

Pan Xiaohei snorted disdainfully. It was not a real cat, so it didn't want the fish.

But I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

Huiyuan, who lived in the side room, was also awake. The monk he brought with him had already spread out his arms and legs and was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly. He seemed to be deaf to all the noise. His hearing extended along the sound of insects in the mountains, and then extended again. He could not only hear the barking of dogs in the village gradually becoming quieter, but also the voices of some villagers talking.

Pan Yun's cultivation level was not as good as his, but her speed was not slow. Perhaps it was because she was sitting in the mountain temple, or perhaps it was because this was the territory of Sanqing Mountain. Her spiritual awareness spread rapidly, and she could hear the happy laughter of children in their dreams, and the deafening snoring of adults...

Under the watch of different people, Fenshui Village and Sanqing Mountain spent a peaceful night.

It was just getting light in the sky when a rustling sound came from a pile of straw next to a rice field not far from the entrance of Fenshui Village. Xiao Qi was the first to come out of the straw. When he saw that it was daybreak, he shrank his neck, pulled his clothes tighter and said, "Come out quickly, it's daybreak."

Xiaoliu and the others then slowly crawled out from the straw pile.

Then they went to turn over another pile of straw and soon dug out Grandma Yu.

Xiao Qi shrank her neck and said happily, "Grandma, I slept very warmly in the straw pile last night. I wasn't cold at all."

Grandma Yu said helplessly, "This is because of the mountain god's blessing. If it were somewhere else, you would freeze to death or suffocate to death if you huddled in a straw pile in such weather. Don't do this anymore."

Several children nodded in agreement, but no one knew how much they heard.

Grandma Yu said, "Go to the stream to wash your face, tidy up, and then go to the gods to receive the blessing bag. After receiving the blessing bag, we will leave."

There were too many people yesterday. After worshiping the gods, they lined up for medical consultation. After seeing so many people, they got the medicine according to the prescription and also received medicine to prevent and treat colds. It was dark then.

Sanqing Mountain is still a bit far from the county town. If you walk back on foot, it will be midnight by the time you get back. You can't enter the city gate, and you will freeze to death if you stay outside.

That’s why Grandma Yu and her family decided to sleep in the straw pile for one night, go to worship the gods and get the lucky bags the next day, and then go back to the county town.

Xiaoqi and the others immediately took their medicine bags, then went to the stream to wash their faces with cold water, and after tidying themselves up, they went to the temple to worship the gods.

They thought they were there very early, but when they arrived they found that some people were already kneeling devoutly.

Pan Yun also stood beside them and rang the bell for them.

When Xiaoqi and the others saw this, they were not willing to be outdone. Since there was no place to kneel in the temple, they knelt outside the door and nodded towards the statue of the mountain god.

Pan Yun: …

She quickly rang the small bell, and the sound of the bell echoed among the mountains, telling her that the old master had come back to life, and to come out and take a look and listen.

After Grandma Yu led them to kneel down and make a pious wish, she stood up and took them to meet Pan Yun.

Pan Yun also smiled at them and asked, "Why did you come so early?"

Xiao Qi said quickly: "We came here yesterday, and we saw the benefactor."

"Really? Where did you stay last night?"

Xiao Qi said proudly: "We live in a straw pile."

Pan Yun nodded: "It's a good way to keep warm, but it won't work if the weather gets colder."

She took out a few yellow charms folded into rectangles from her sleeves and gave them to them. She smiled and said, "These are amulets for good luck. Take them and you will have a safe journey back home."

Grandma Yu agreed on their behalf and told Pan Yun, "The house has been built and we have all moved into the new home. Xiaoqi and the others have also gone to school. We will always remember the great kindness of the temple keeper and the mountain god."

Pan Jun felt warm all over, but her energy was restrained. She looked up at the mountain god statue in surprise, and saw a ray of morning sun shining in from the top of the door and falling on his forehead, making his whole face glow with golden light.

Pan Yun felt that there was a hint of spirit in his eyes. Correspondingly, the golden light of merit that had been restrained after her breakthrough was now even more restrained, as if it was completely hidden deeper in her spiritual platform and no longer leaked out.

At the same time, the spiritual jade pieces refreshed rapidly, and she suddenly received a large amount of merit points.

Pan Jun was slightly stunned, and when he looked carefully, he found that the merit values ​​of a large number of believers who came to worship yesterday were very low, only +1+1+1, but there were too many people.

在这大量的+1+1+1里夹着小七他们的+5+5+5，但更让潘筠惊讶的是，还有大量的+10，是来自于泉州双阳村和槐花村的村民。

Pan Yun was surprised. [What happened to Shuangyang Village and Huaihua Village? Why did so many merit points suddenly come?]

Pan Xiaohei: "You can only ask God, but God may not tell you. Even if he tells you, you may not understand."

Pan Yun glanced at it, took it down from the feet of the statue, and handed it to Xiao Qi with a smile on his face, saying, "Take it with you when you go to the village later. This cat is too lazy and needs some exercise. Just let it go after you cross the bridge."

Xiao Qi agreed.

Pan Yun snorted in his heart, "I'll tell you the divination in a moment."

She paused and said: [With Miaozhen! ]

　see you tomorrow
