Chapter 49: Can't Make Money
Pan Yun drew a lot of talismans and decided to take them down the mountain to sell. In addition to the talismans, she also found a lot of books on physiognomy.

There are not many books on physiognomy in Sanqing Temple, only two, but a lot of physiognomy knowledge is recorded in the spiritual realm.

In the first eight years, Pan Yun had no worries about her livelihood, so she never seriously studied the art of physiognomy. However, she came to a realization from Xuanmiao's experience in Prince Zhou's mansion that physiognomy was more profitable than alchemy and medicine.

Of course, she also saw Tao Ji's role in the Zhou Palace. Although there were doctors competing with him, it would be more profitable if he knew some medical skills and combined them with physiognomy.

What's more, the most powerful thing about Sanqing Temple is alchemy.

Of the daily courses, physiognomy and talismans take up one class, and the rest are all spent learning alchemy and medical skills.

Moreover, there are Taoist priests Wang Feiyin, Tao Ji and Xuanmiao living in the temple.

Xuanmiao has been in seclusion for a long time and has never gone out. Their face reading and talismans are the most basic ones taught by Wang Feiyin. So far, she can draw all the talismans he taught her.

Tao Ji would take Tao Yanbai down the mountain to practice medicine every now and then. Occasionally they would stay in the mountains to collect herbs. Their teacher of Dandao medicine was still Wang Feiyin.

It’s true, every day when I open my eyes I see the eldest senior brother, and when I close my eyes I still see the eldest senior brother.

No wonder Tao Ji said it made no difference who he chose as his teacher, because they were all taught by Wang Feiyin.

Pan Yun stirred and stirred, mixing the rice and vegetables together, which made the rice taste better. He ate with big mouthfuls and asked as a daily routine: "Has Fourth Senior Sister come out of seclusion?"

Miao Zhen said: "I calculated with my fingers, Fourth Uncle will come out of retreat this afternoon."

Pan Yun said, "I will go down the mountain with Fourth Senior Sister tomorrow."

Miaozhen and Miaohe turned their heads together to look at the master who was sitting facing the cliff not far away.

When the junior uncle heard what he said, he knew it was not directed to them, but to the senior uncle.

Sure enough, the master uncle who was eating seriously turned his head to look at them and asked, "What are you doing down the mountain?"

"One, to receive the letter, two, to make money for Master."

One is fine, Tao Ji and others who came down the mountain can do it for you, but two...

The reason was so legitimate that Wang Feiyin couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

But then he thought, this child is different from Miaozhen and Miaohe, she matures early, and what she knows is a mess, so her training cannot be the same as Miaozhen and Miaohe, so he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

When Miao He heard this, he squeezed next to Wang Feiyin with his bowl in hand and said eagerly, "Master, I also want to go down the mountain. I, I will lead the way for you and keep you company."

Miaozhen didn't say anything, but she also took the bowl and walked forward, and together with Miaohe, she looked at Wang Feiyin eagerly.

Wang Feiyin: ...He knew that the appearance of Pan Yun was the biggest challenge to his education. One of the biggest problems in the world is not the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth.

Meeting the two children's gazes, Wang Feiyin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's all go."

Miao and Miaozhen cheered, returned to their seats with their bowls in hand, and happily ate together with Pan Yun.

Miaozhen’s calculation was very accurate, and Xuanmiao indeed came out of seclusion that afternoon.

She ate something, then took a bath and changed her clothes. After finishing her evening classes, she found out that she would have to take her three children down the mountain the next day.

mysterious:……

Wang Feiyin said, "Master Qian of Yushan County is ill and has not been cured for a long time. Third Junior Brother took Yanbai to see him. He will not return to the mountain in the next few days, so this matter can only be handed over to you. It just so happens that the three children are all grown up, so take them out to see the world."

Xuanmiao: "I don't plan to go far, just to Dayuanwu."

Dayuanwu is the largest village nearby and the seat of the township. There are big markets on every fifth and tenth day of the lunar month. Tomorrow is the tenth day, which happens to be a big market day.

There is an express delivery shop there, and all the letters from the surrounding area are sent there.

It would be a good idea to bring Pan Yun along, as the purpose of going down the mountain this time was to collect letters from the second branch of the Pan family on her behalf.

To go down the mountain, they had to get up early. Before the morning, the three children were woken up. After a quick wash, they carried the backpacks they had packed last night and went down the mountain.

Xuan Miao asked Pan Yun to walk at the end, while she walked in front to lead the way. She explained, "We are the elders, and our kung fu is better than theirs."

"I know, we should care for the younger generation and protect the weak." It was the same reason as when she went up the mountain and was protected by Tao Ji and Xuan Miao.

A group of four people carried backpacks and went down the mountain.

Although Miaozhen and Miaohe are young, they have been practicing martial arts at an early age and their kung fu is not much worse than Tao Yanbai's. They also often collect herbs in the mountains, so when they walk in the mountains, their leg strength is no worse than that of Pan Yun, who has achieved success in martial arts.

They followed Xuanmiao smoothly all the way to the foot of the mountain at a very fast speed.

It was still dark when they went down the mountain, but some people in the village had gotten up. Xuanmiao led them through the village, and the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard incessantly.

A family living on the side of the road poked their heads out to look, and vaguely saw Xuanmiao in the dim morning light. They hurriedly called out, "Master Xuanmiao, are you going out?"

Xuanmiao responded, "Let's go to the market in Dayuanwu."

"Oh, we're leaving so early," Xuanmiao responded, and quickly led the three children through the village.

Once the morning light appeared, it brightened very quickly, and in just a short while, they could see the road clearly.

By the time we arrived at Dayuanwu, it was completely light.

Pan Jun had never been to Dayuanwu, and she didn't pass by here when she came.

There were many people like them who rushed to the market early in the morning. When they entered the village, the market was already very lively, and there was a steady stream of people coming from all directions carrying their loads.

There are also many stalls selling food.

There are not many shops here, and the roads are flat dirt and grass, which can be occupied by anyone, so the food stalls come to take up positions before dawn. At this time, the steamers selling buns and steamed buns are steaming, and the aroma of white flour is constantly drilling into people's noses;
The soup at the noodle stall was boiling, and the stall owner was working hard to knead the noodles;

There are also stalls that specialize in selling pancakes. The big stalls take out the braised meat and chop it up in front of people, then wait for people to come and buy the meat pancakes.

Miaohe couldn't walk anymore when she passed the meat pie stall.

Xuanmiao said: "Let's have breakfast first."

She sat down at the noodle stall and handed a handful of copper coins to Miaohe, "You three go buy some other food together."

Miaohe happily agreed, put down the backpack, and walked away holding Miaozhen in one hand and Pan Yun in the other.

She also shared her own experience with Pan Yun, "I like going down the mountain with Master and Fourth Uncle the most. Master is kind-hearted and will take us to many places if we ask for help. Fourth Uncle is generous and will pay for whatever we want to eat."

Pan Jun: "Where is the senior brother?"

Miaohe: "Master uncle is fine, but Master uncle has no money."

Facing Pan Yun's puzzled look, Miao Zhen explained, "Master Uncle has no luck with money. Whenever he has money, he will lose it unexpectedly."

"Really?" For some reason, Pan Jun felt vaguely uneasy.

Practicing Taoism, practicing Taoism, actually means making people infinitely close to Taoism, so Taoists especially believe in feelings, because they think these are hints from heaven.

Pan Jun grasped this feeling, but couldn't figure out why.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she placed the talismans she had folded next to Miao and Miaozhen's stall.

Everyone passing by would take a look, but only a glance, and then leave.

However, Miao and Miaozhen sold a lot of the well-matched herbs and had been making money.

Pan Jun sat aside with his chin propped up, watching them.

Miaohe generously gave her half of the money she earned.

Pan Yun didn't want to ask two children for money, so he pushed it back and said, "Isn't there anyone here who wants to buy talismans?"

Miao Zhen: "If there is no disease or disaster, and there are no ghosts or abnormalities, why do people spend money to buy talismans?"

Pan Yun looked at the medicinal herbs they were selling and said, "Then this medicine..."

"They are all herbs that can remove toxins and relieve fever. Eating them in the summer can refresh the mind and prevent heat stroke," Miao Zhen said. "We sell them like this every summer. Even the medicine shops in Yushan County come to us to buy herbs. The villagers nearby know about it, so they will buy from us."

"And people from our Sanqing Mountain often come down the mountain to practice medicine. They all know that we have good medical skills and good medicinal materials," Miaohe said, "Little Master, I don't think it's okay for you to sell talismans. There are no demons or monsters near our Sanqing Mountain, so we don't need these things."

Pan Yun: "Why are there no demons, ghosts or monsters?"

The two of them said as a matter of course: "Because we have the protection of the mountain god."

This was beyond Pan Yun's expectations.

In the previous life, ghosts were rampant and the best-selling item was talismans.

Pan Yun’s talismans are so good that they will be sold out in no time once they are posted online. But here, they can’t be sold at all!
Pan Jun raised her head, covered her eyes with spiritual power, and used her own talents to look at the people in this village, and found that... there really was not a single bit of black energy.

Even if there are people in distress, it is not because of an accident, but because they are just that distressed. Such people need a talisman to strengthen their bodies, which can reduce the chances of illness and physical damage due to their distress. Even a good luck talisman will be of no use.

Because the whole place is poor, no matter how lucky you are, it is impossible to pick up silver when you go out. What's more, that kind of good luck is built on the misfortune of others. She never draws that kind of talisman.

Her lucky charm only makes people miss some bad accidents, but not pick up good things out of the blue.

But hardship itself is not an accident.

As for talismans, if people cannot see immediate results, who would spend money to buy them?
Even if you buy it, you should still doubt whether it is fake. If you don't believe it, the effect of the talisman will be halved.

Pan Yun quietly put away her talisman bag and said, "I was wrong. I shouldn't sell talismans here. I should go to a big city like Kaifeng Prefecture or Guangxin Prefecture."
