Chapter 345: Go into Retreat
Pan Yun walked around in circles in the temple and consoled himself, "I am still atonement, but my magic power is recovering..."

She touched her chin and said in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that Master, you were very powerful in the past? Do you have any powerful skills to pass on to your disciple?"

The statue was quiet, the entire mountain temple was quiet, and nothing paid any attention to Pan Yun.

Pan Jun went out grumblingly, "Just ignore me, my current skills are pretty awesome too..."

No one came today, but Pan Yun no longer closed the door.

Since the number of believers in the mountain temple has increased, some people have come from far away, sometimes arriving in the middle of the night and can only wait on the roadside until she opens the door.

Such a cold day...

Pan Yun established a new rule that from now on, the mountain god temple would not be closed but would be open to the public, allowing people to come in and burn incense anytime and anywhere.

Not to mention, after it is left open like this, even if Pan Yun and the others don’t come down the mountain, someone will replace the fruits, flowers and water in front of the statue.

Sometimes it is believers who come to worship God. After worshipping, they will replace the water with clean water and leave fresh fruits;

Most of the time, the villagers of Fenshui Village would come and exchange them on their own initiative.

The terrain near Sanqing Mountain is very undulating, with hillsides and gullies. It is not easy to grow crops, but it is very suitable for growing mulberry and fruit trees.

Therefore, every household in Fenshui Village plants several fruit trees. In addition, there are many wild fruits on the mountains and hills, so it is not difficult for them to exchange fruits and water.

The children would also pick some flowers from the fields to replace the dried flowers and plants in the temple.

There are few flowers in winter, so dogtail grass dotted with white wild chrysanthemums can be served on the table.

Pan Yun didn’t know whether her master liked it or not, but she liked it very much and she had never seen her master object.

Pan Yun left the door open and placed a plate of snacks on the table to feed hungry people passing by or staying overnight. Then he swaggered up the mountain with his hands behind his back.

Just as she reached the intersection and before she stepped onto the mountain path, she saw Tao Ji wearing a straw hat and carrying a large bag, and Xuan Miao walking beside him with a sword.

Pan Jun's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed towards them, "Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Sister!"

Xuanmiao saw her rushing towards him like a mad calf, and immediately held his sword across the two of them.

Pan Jun braked urgently, stopping just before touching the scabbard, "Third Brother, Fourth Sister, you are finally back. We missed you so much!"

Tao Ji also smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Junior sister, we miss you too..."

Xuan Miao had already walked around her and was heading up the mountain. She said, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the mountain."

Pan Jun turned his head and watched his senior sister's back, then immediately walked to Tao Ji's side and took the big bag from him, "Third Senior Brother, why is Fourth Senior Sister so cold? Did I offend her?"

"That's not the case, but we gained a lot this time out."

Pan Yun's eyes lit up, "How much money did you get?"

Tao Ji: "This is not about money, but about gaining a lot of information."

He paused and said, "But I did make a lot of money."

When they got to the top of the mountain, Tao Ji took out a cloth bag from his arms. When he opened the bag, it was full of silver bills, all of which were large-denomination silver bills.

The four little heads gathered together and couldn't help but burst into shocking "Wow" sounds, which frightened Pan Xiaohei so much that he couldn't help but slip under them, grabbing the table with his paws and looking up.

Wang Feiyin pushed the four of them away and slapped their hands that were reaching for the banknotes, "Go away, just take a look, why are you touching it? Can you take this money?"

Wang Feiyin didn't reach out to take it, and was even far away from the table, so he could only stretch out an arm.

After slapping Miao Zhenmiao, Tao Yanbai and the other two away, he grabbed Pan Yun's ear and pulled her towards him, "What are you looking at? You are the one who should not touch money."

Pan Jun tilted her head and grabbed his hand and her ear, saying repeatedly: "It hurts, it hurts, be gentle, I just want to take a look, I don't want it..."

Xuanmiao said: "Most of this was earned by Junior Sister."

Pan Jun pointed at her nose and asked in surprise: "Me?"

Xuanmiao nodded, "I earned five thousand taels from the formation plate for Master Liu in Quanzhou."

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Hey, although I negotiated this deal, it was Senior Sister who made the array, so this is Senior Sister's money."

Xuanmiao: "But you taught me how to make the formation."

Pan Yun sighed deeply, "Unfortunately, I have little connection with money. I can't take so much money, so let Senior Sister take it."

Xuanmiao asked: "How much private property can you have now without getting into bad luck?"

Pan Yun held up two fingers and said proudly, "Eight hundred taels!"

Xuanmiao nodded, and said to Wang Feiyin: "Then leave it all in the Taoist temple's public account. The herbs the children need for their cultivation and the tools they will use in the future will all cost money, right?"

Wang Feiyin nodded, "It costs a lot of money. Now, she can get the salary for her flying magic weapon."

Xuanmiao: "There is another 10,000 taels, which was also earned by Junior Sister."

Pan Jun swallowed and said, "Why didn't I know I was so powerful?"

Xuan Miao glanced at her and said, "I made the money by selling her information to Qianxi Tower."

Wang Feiyin: …

Tao Ji went to see Pan Yun nervously.

Pan Jun's eyes were bright and dazzling, and he covered his chest with his hands in joy and shock, "I, I, my information is so valuable? Fourth Senior Sister, what information did you sell and where did you sell it? Can I go to the Qianxilou branch to sell it again?" "Or you can sell other information that has not been sold."

Xuanmiao said expressionlessly, "You are the youngest first marquis in a hundred years. Your information is still very valuable."

She gave Pan Yun a warning look and said, "I advise you not to sell too much useful information, otherwise it will become a knife stabbing you in the future. There are many people in this world who are stronger and more powerful than you, they just don't appear in the world."

Wang Feiyin nodded repeatedly, pushed Pan Yun, who was immersed in money, aside, and asked Xuanmiao, "Is there much news about Junior Sister outside?"

Xuanmiao nodded. "A lot, but they avoided Yushan County, so they gave us the illusion that everything was peaceful."

She said: "Now everyone in the Dao sect and the martial arts world knows that my junior sister is called Sanzhu. The Pan Sanzhu who killed the bandits in Quanzhou is her."

She looked at Pan Yun, "But the Pan Sanzhu in Anren County who is said to be over a hundred years old is not well-known. Except for Qianxi Tower, no one knows that person is you."

Pan Yun touched her nose awkwardly. Miaozhen and Miaohe lowered their heads as they remembered the lies they had told in front of Mr. Huang.

Xuanmiao said: "I have learned about it. That Huang is rich but unkind. You can beat him, cheat him, or even rob him. You take from him and use it for the people. It is just a matter of returning. There is some cause and effect, but it is not serious. Why do you want to use this big lie of involving Longhushan Fengshui Bureau?"

Pan Yun: "I am a good citizen, how could I do such a thing as robbery?"

Xuanmiao: "Is lying to others what good people do?"

Pan Yun: "That's because I have poor vision, I haven't practiced hard enough, and I misjudged the Feng Shui. How can it be a scam?"

Xuanmiao: "You are right no matter what, but you told such a big lie, which also involved the Feng Shui Bureau of Mount Longhu. You even hinted that he was rebelling. Do you know what will happen to you if people know about this?"

Pan Yun: “No one will know.”

"Qianxilou will know."

Pan Yun: "Do they have any evidence?"

Mysterious silence.

Miao Zhen immediately raised her hand and said, "Fourth Master, we were all wearing makeup at the time, especially Junior Master, who was so made up that even our parents couldn't recognize us. Even if Qianxilou knew, they could only guess based on our behavior and couldn't provide any concrete evidence."

Xuanmiao looked at them and said, "Longhu Mountain is not a government office. We don't need to see evidence when doing things. The same is true for the martial arts world. Even for some people and forces in the imperial court, evidence is not needed."

"As long as they identify it as you, that's enough."

Wang Feiyin also glared at them, "I asked you to go to the academy to learn, but you ended up learning a lot of bad habits and becoming more and more lawless."

Pan Yun and the other two bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. "We know we were wrong, and we won't dare to do it again next time."

Wang Feiyin narrowed his eyes and looked at them: "Do you really know you are wrong, or are you pretending?"

Pan Yun immediately raised his hand and swore, "I really know I was wrong, Senior Brother. I just couldn't stand him bullying the tenant farmers. Besides, the Huang family is so big and powerful that we can't get rid of them. Besides, besides Huang, there will be Li and Zhang. This is only a temporary solution. It's better to keep Huang and find an excuse to scare him so that the tenant farmers can have a better life."

Wang Feiyin patted her head and said, "You have so many excuses, why did you come up with such a bad one?"

But she, Miaozhen and Miaohe all thought this was wonderful.

The three of them lowered their heads, and Pan Yun whispered, "I didn't say it explicitly. I just stopped at the right time. He must be overthinking it. What can I do?"

Wang Feiyin glared at her, "You still think you're right?"

Pan Jun immediately lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong."

She admitted her mistake so straightforwardly that Wang Feiyin couldn't tell for a moment whether she was really admitting her mistake or just lip service.

But this did not stop him from punishing her, "From today on, you will have to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes until New Year's Eve. You are not allowed to go out of the house again."

Pan Yun's eyes widened. "We still have this thing called facing the wall and thinking about one's mistakes in Sanqing Mountain?"

Wang Feiyin: "In your room, if you turn around, you will be facing the wall, right?"

"Of course, if you don't want to face the wall in your room, I can find you a quieter place."

Just a little below the top of the mountain, there are two huge rocks leaning against each other with a large gap in the middle, about ten square meters in size, which is dry and deep.

What surprised Pan Yun was that there was a smoothly polished stone bed inside.

Is it a stone bed?

A smooth stone that is more than one meter wide and two meters deep.

Wang Feiyin threw her in directly and said, "Just stay here and retreat."

Pan Jun: "Wait a minute, Senior Brother, I didn't say I don't want to retreat in my room..."

Wang Feiyin: "You didn't answer just now."

Pan Yun: "I was just two breaths slower..."

Wang Feiyin said with a heartache: "I felt sorry for you and was afraid that you would be too cold here, but I think the Taoist temple is still too complicated. It's just right for you to be here. You are already the first marquis. If you feel cold, circulate your energy and take care of yourself."

"I am also very sad to let you stay here in seclusion."

Pan Yun: …

Wang Feiyin said, "I'll ask Yanbai and the other two to bring you clothes, quilts, and rice."

　good night
