Chapter 41 Integration
This sentence reminded Tao Ji of his master's nephew, and he fell silent.
Xuanmiao accepted it the fastest and nodded to Pan Jun, "Junior sister."
Pan Jun smiled and saluted, "Fourth Senior Sister."
Then he smiled and shook his clasped fists at Tao Ji, "Third Brother."
Tao Ji's face turned red, but he still called out, "Fifth Junior Sister."
The teachers all accepted it, and the remaining three juniors had no say anymore, so they stepped forward again to greet Pan Yun.
Miaohe was the most disappointed, "I thought I was going to be a senior sister."
She was very happy last night.
Pan Yun, who was as tall as her, reached out and touched her head. "Don't be discouraged. You'll have me, your junior uncle, to protect you. Isn't that happier than being a senior sister?"
Miao He: "Will Junior Master come to take classes with us in the future?"
Pan Jun also turned his head to look at Wang Feiyin.
Wang Feiyin said, "You are still young, so learn more and choose something you like. You can then specialize in one field in the future. Although you need to specialize in one field, you can't be completely ignorant of other things, understand?"
Pan Yun agreed with them.
"Okay, have breakfast, and then go to the main hall in front and wait. I'll check your homework later.
Your Third Uncle and his men just came back last night, so you are given a day off today. After you finish checking your homework, you can go and have fun. Tomorrow, those who should go to class should go to class, and those who should go down the mountain should go down the mountain."
Everyone responded.
Pan Yun filled a bowl of porridge and took a steamed bun, then sat with Miao and Miaozhen, "Who wants to go down the mountain?"
"I," Tao Yanbai popped up, sat down next to Miao Zhen, and sighed, "I really don't like going down the mountain."
Miao He ate his porridge while saying, "And my master, he also wants to go down the mountain. Third Brother, you don't like to go down the mountain, but I do, but my master won't let me."
Pan Yun brought the topic back to the topic, "What did Third Senior Brother do down the mountain?"
Miao He: "Take the third brother to practice medicine."
Tao Yanbai explained: "I don't have the talent for practicing Taoism, and I still have parents and family. The court has an order that if the sons of soldiers and civilians or child slaves voluntarily become monks or Taoists, their parents must serve the court and farm for the people."
Pan Yun, a frog in the well, knew nothing. "Then why are you here?"
"I stayed in the temple under the pretext of learning skills," Tao Yanbai said with full energy, "Even so, I still have to study hard. When I turn 20, I will take the test for the certificate of ordination. If I can pass, even if my talent is not so good, I can stay in the temple to accompany my fellow Taoist brothers and sisters."
Pan Jun: “Come on!”
"Come on? That's not good. Doesn't this mean that the fire is too strong and the wick is burning too fast? Too much is as bad as too little, right?"
Pan Yun readily changed his words and said, "That makes sense. Let's work hard!"
Tao Yanbai nodded vigorously.
Miao He saw this and quickly finished showing off the steamed buns in his hand. He stood up and said, "I'll go hand in my homework now."
After saying that, he rushed towards the hall.
The three of them sat and watched her run away. When she was out of sight, Tao Yanbai asked Miaozhen, "Has she finished her homework?"
Miaozhen: “It’s done.”
"How's it going?"
Miao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "It depends on whether Master Uncle is in a good mood today."
If it's good, maybe I'll just raise my hand and let it go.
Tao Yanbai understood and felt relieved. He also stood up and said, "I'm going to hand in my homework too."
Compared with Miaohe, he shouldn't be that miserable, right?
Pan Jun lowered his head and ate silently. The eldest brother might be in a subtle mood today, at least not very happy.
Wang Feiyin was indeed not very happy, so he punished Miaohe, who did his homework carelessly, and Tao Yanbai, who worked hard but did not do well enough, and only praised Miaozhen.
Pan Yun looked around for a while and then went to visit the Taoist temple. She visited every corner of the temple, including the vegetable fields that were built along the mountain behind the temple and the large vats placed next to the vegetable fields...
I just didn't see the well.
Pan Jun thought about it. This morning when Wang Feiyin took her to the top of the mountain, they walked down a distance and saw a large clear water pool. The water looked good. Did they have to go there to fetch water?
When Pan Yun returned to the main hall, Miaohe and Tao Yanbai had already finished their punishment. They were happy again and invited Pan Yun to divide the things with them.
These are the things Tao Ji brought back from the mountain.
Food, clothes, and various medicinal herbs. Tao Ji also bought a bunch of beautiful headbands for the two little girls, and they were free to choose and match them.
Even the steady Miaozhen couldn't help but smile, and called Pan Jun to share the joy with her.
Pan Yun was also forced to wear two headbands.
They were all young, and their hair was short and thin, so they couldn't use wooden hairpins and tied their hair with headbands.
People who practice Taoism don't have so many restrictions, so they can naturally do what they like, so Tao Ji prepared headbands of various colors so that they can choose as they like.
As for the fabric, Pan Yun learned that they all made their robes by themselves. "In the past, our uncle, master and uncle helped us make them, but now we have grown up and we need to learn to make them ourselves. Can you do it, little uncle?" Pan Yun had either been practicing or taking medicine for the first eight years. If she had the energy and leisure to walk to the gate, her father would be so happy that he would cry. Naturally, she didn't learn any needlework.
She always thought of herself as an introverted homebody. Really, she was suited to a life where she could have everything provided for her, concentrate on cultivation, and not pay any attention to anything else outside.
In my previous life, I was forced to be outgoing by life and studies. I not only had to study and do research, but also occasionally go to capture demons and monsters. In comparison, staying at home and drawing talismans to earn extra money was a very happy thing.
In this life, if her father had not been suddenly exiled, she could actually rely on her father and brother to live the life she had dreamed of in her previous life.
Her second brother had already told her that if she couldn't get married in the future, he would support her, and if he failed the imperial examination, he would take her back to his hometown in Changzhou Prefecture. She decided at that time that she would not get married when she grew up.
Although Pan Yun didn't want to live such a useless life, she had made plans. When she had made some achievements in cultivation, she could go back to her old job and draw some talismans to sell. The money she earned would be enough for her to live on. In this way, she could rely on her father and brother to concentrate on cultivation. Maybe when they grew old, she would be able to succeed in cultivation and find the way back to another world.
Pan Jun held the cloth stuffed into her arms, her eyes filled with tears. All the past events had become a dream and she had to plan her life all over again.
Miao He saw that she was about to cry, and asked quickly, "Sister Pan Yun, what's wrong with you?"
Miao Zhen bumped into her and said, "Call me Junior Master Uncle."
Pan Jun shook her head to show that she didn't mind and said, "I'm touched. This is the first time I've received cloth from someone else since I was a child."
Miao He heard this and immediately said, "Little Master, you will receive gifts often in the future. Whenever my master comes back from the mountain, he will bring us gifts. And my senior brother, he brings the most gifts. I miss him so much."
Miao Zhen also nodded and said softly, "I miss my senior brother, too."
Pan Yun suppressed his thoughts about his father and brother, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and asked curiously, "Where is the master's nephew now?"
Miao He sighed and shook his head, "I don't know. The eldest brother went out to do business. He goes to a different place every day. I don't know where he is now."
"When does the eldest brother usually come back?"
Miao He: "Not necessarily. Sometimes when business is good, they come back in September or October. Sometimes when business is bad, they come back only after the Chinese New Year."
It sounds so pitiful.
But Miao and Miaozhen are accustomed to these separations. They have been living in such an environment since childhood and do not think there is anything wrong with separation.
They soon immersed themselves in the joy of distributing gifts. Tao Yanbai washed a basin of apricots and brought them over. He ate them while distributing gifts with them.
The things Tao Ji chose to bring with him, apart from some precious medicinal herbs and cloth, were mostly candies and cakes.
The three of them collected them in various corners, and Pan Yun followed them to find out where the food was stored in the temple.
Put some in the kitchen cupboard, some in the rice jar, and secretly hide a bag of your favorite food in your room. The rest are opened and offered in front of the stone statues of Sanqing, Ge Xianweng and Li Shangshu.
They burned incense and invited them to come and enjoy the meal, but by noon, several pieces of the cakes in front of their plates had been eaten, and they were eaten very evenly, with a piece being taken from each god's plate.
Miaohe took a piece, bowed and took a bite. Seeing Pan Jun looking at her, she took another piece, bowed and handed it to Pan Jun, then pulled her to sit on the mat to eat.
"The ancestors have eaten, now it's our turn," she said, "My uncle said that if the ancestors see us eating happily, they will be happy too. As long as we offer the tribute sincerely, we can eat it."
Pan Yun also held the cake and sat with her to eat, "The ancestors are so kind."
Miaohe nodded vigorously, "The ancestors are really good. I like them the most."
The two people who were chewing cakes with their heads down did not notice that there seemed to be a flash of light in the eyes of the three Heavenly Lords.
Pan Yun successfully integrated into the big family of Sanqing Temple. It was not until the afternoon that she found time to take out the half-volume incomplete book and study the exercises.
Pan Xiaohei watched with her. As a realm spirit who had seen countless martial arts, he was better able to judge the quality of a martial arts technique than Pan Yun.
Just one look at it and say, "Congratulations."
Pan Yun: "It's a pity that there is only half of it."
Pan Xiaohei said confidently: "I definitely have the complete record."
Pan Jun was excited, "Where is it? Find it out!"
"That part is still unsealed. Wait for me to unseal it a little bit."
Pan Yun: …
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Pan Xiaohei said quickly, "Really? I have collected a vast amount of skills. You didn't even look at where I came from and why I created them in the first place. As long as you can unlock my seal, let alone the second half of a skill, you can get even more advanced skills."
Pan Yun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll trust you. We'll try to refine the formation tonight."
Pan Xiaohei happily followed the nature of the black cat and somersaulted on the spot.
Pan Yun spread out his skills and practiced them.
Human memory can correct mistakes quickly, but the body's memory is difficult.
The biggest difficulty in practicing Kun Yuan Gong is modifying the body's memory.
The two sets of exercises are too similar, or in other words, they are from the same set of exercises, but there are differences between them. Now we have to change the memory that the body has already memorized.
This is just like pedaling. For the first eight years, she raised her hands when stepping on the pedals, but now she has to change to raising her hands when stepping down the pedals. The body's memory is difficult to modify, but Pan Yun feels that she can do it.
The lucky numbers for today and tomorrow are numbers ending in 3. Here is a screenshot as proof. Add "剑走偏锋大明" to find Mo Yan. She likes it very much.
