Chapter 89 Three Enlightenments
Pan Yun took the medicine that Wang Feiyin picked for her. She used up all her spiritual power and mental energy and drew many talismans, but only twelve of them were successful in the end.

She packed everything up without wasting any time and immediately went down the mountain carrying the box.

Wang Feiyin saw that her mental and spiritual energy were too exhausted, so he didn't dare to let her go down by herself, so he asked Tao Yanbai to send her off.

The two of them hurried and entered Yushan County before the city gate closed at dark. The next morning, Pan Yun took a huge sum of five taels of silver to send the express delivery.

The three or two taels of money she got back was actually quite a lot. If it was just for living, it would be enough for her to live on for a long time.

But Pan Yun suddenly lost interest in money.

She still had many questions in her mind, about the way of heaven, about the mountain god Pan Gong, and about everything in the human world.

If the ties between people are as deep as she feels now, and if the laws of nature determine collective responsibility based on blood ties, then what is the difference between this and a civilian court?
If the court makes mistakes, the subjects can protest and even change the court.

If the way of heaven is wrong, can they change it?
Pan Yun thought, either the way of heaven was wrong, or their guess about the way of heaven was wrong.

She sat motionless on the mule cart. Tao Yanbai couldn't help but look back at her and asked, "Master Junior, are we going back to Sanqing Mountain or to Dazhouzhuang?"

Pan Yun then remembered that Tao Ji was still in Da Zhou Zhuang. After a little thought, he said, "Let's go to Da Zhou Zhuang."

Tao Ji saw Pan Yun coming back, and before he could even relax, he realized that Pan Yun did nothing but sit outside the Zhou family's gate with his chin propped up in a daze;
Before he could assign her any work to do, she went to the gossipy women's center in the center of the village to stare blankly again;
When I looked again in the afternoon, she had arrived at the field, staring blankly at the people harvesting rice.

Tao Ji: ...

Tao Ji gave up on ordering her around and said to Tao Yanbai, "Go back and take Miao Zhen Miao with you to collect more herbs for preventing heat stroke and treating fever. The autumn harvest has begun and these herbs will be consumed in large quantities."

Tao Yanbai agreed and left in the mule cart.

After Tao Yanbai left, it became even more difficult for Tao Ji to find Pan Yun. He went out early and came back late every day. When they occasionally met, she was either in a daze or bragging and chatting with the villagers.

It was a rare occasion to see Pan Yun in the Zhou family yard today. He was extremely surprised and asked, "You're not going out today?"

"I'm going to Yushan County soon."

Tao Ji: "Go to Yushan County to daydream?"

Pan Yun turned around and said, "Go to the Yushan County Post Office to see if there is any letter for me. My father and brother are in trouble, and since their lives are not in danger, someone will definitely send me a letter. Although the post station's letters are safer, they are too slow. They will definitely send me a letter from the Post Office."

The only way to send a letter through the Postal Service is to go to Yushan County. This is why she stayed in Dazhouzhuang so that she could go to Yushan County to get news faster.

Tao Ji thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. I just need to buy some medicinal herbs."

The brother and sister walked to Yushan County.

Pan Yun was very quiet along the way, even the black cat on her shoulder was very quiet, so quiet that Tao Ji was a little uneasy. He coughed lightly and comforted her clumsily: "Little Junior Sister, don't worry. I see that your heart has been fine these two days, and there is no feeling. They may have been out of danger and nothing will happen."

Pan Yun nodded.

Tao Ji felt that he had succeeded in his persuasion, and continued, "Don't always think about this. Datong Prefecture and Guangxin Prefecture are so far apart. Even if something happens, you are too far away to do anything. Worrying is useless. It's better to cheer up and do the current things first..."

Pan Yun: "Third Brother, you should stop trying to persuade others. This is not your area of ​​expertise."

Tao Ji was not convinced, "How am I not good at it? You just listened to my advice. Then tell me, what's the point of your worrying these days other than wasting time?"

Pan Yun said: "I didn't waste time."

"Isn't it a waste of time to stay like that and do nothing?"

Pan Yun: "I am thinking, not daydreaming."

Tao Ji calmed down. As Taoists, they really need to think often.

He asked, “What have you figured out?”

"There are a lot, but I can't express them at the moment," Pan Yun said, "Wait for me to summarize them."

It sounded a bit unreliable, so Tao Ji stopped asking her.

Tao Jixian accompanied her to the People's Credit Bureau.

The guys at the Postal Service were impressed by Pan Yun. After all, he had worked at the Postal Service in Yushan County for several years. There were not many customers willing to spend two taels of silver to send express mail, maybe only one or two a year, or once or twice.

Pan Yun successfully squeezed in one or two actions of these one or two people, and it was hard for the guy not to remember it.

As soon as he saw her, he pulled out a letter and said, "Little Taoist priest, you came at the right time. Today, a letter came from Datong Prefecture. I was just about to ask someone to bring you a message, and you happened to come."

Pan Yun thanked him, took the letter and opened it, not wanting to stop for a moment.

During this period of time, the father and daughter exchanged letters, concealing each other's good news and not bad news, and then they began to spy on each other's true situation.

Finally, Pan Hong couldn't stand it anymore and wrote to Pan Yun: "Why can't we be honest with each other? From this letter on, we should be frank and have discussions, so that the father-daughter relationship will not fade away."

Pan Yun felt that she was living a good life and had nothing to hide. Since her father said so, she would write to him in detail about how she practiced Taoism, how powerful her skills were now, how talented she was, and how many skills she had learned in Sanqing Mountain.

There was so much to write that I only wrote half of the letter, so I didn't send it out.

This time, Pan Hong's reply was very frank. He wrote in detail about Pan Yu's injuries and attached her pulse diagnosis, asking her if she knew a better prescription.

When Pan Yun saw it, he immediately threw the letter in front of Tao Ji and said, "Third Senior Brother, help me."

Tao Ji took the letter and read it, frowning and said, "Internal injuries...the bleeding must be stopped as soon as possible. Can he wait for these letters to come back and forth?"

Seeing Pan Yun's face change, he hurriedly said, "I looked at the prescription written by the doctor in Datong, it is quite suitable for the symptoms, so don't worry, just replace the ginseng with Panax notoginseng, it will be better, and you can also add a small amount of Paris polyphylla..." Pan Yun immediately pulled Tao Ji to ask him to prescribe a prescription on the spot, "I will send it to Datong now."

Afraid that Panax notoginseng and Tripterygium wilfordii could not be bought in Datong, Pan Yun borrowed a lot of money from Tao Ji, and went to the pharmacy next door to buy Panax notoginseng and Tripterygium wilfordii, and put them in a box and mailed them to them.

In an instant, only one tael was left out of the three taels of silver she had with her, and she still owed Tao Ji five taels. Panax notoginseng powder was very expensive.

After the express package was sent, Pan Yun and Tao Ji sighed together.

Hearing each other's sigh, the two couldn't help but look at each other and sighed again.

Pan Yun suddenly felt very tired, so he sat on the steps between the People's Credit Bureau and the pharmacy.

Tao Ji stood beside her and waited for a while. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he said, "Wait a minute. I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine."

When Tao Ji came back, she was still holding up her chin with a weak look on her face, and he couldn't help frowning.

"A small disaster has turned you into this? Back in the capital, you were on the verge of life and death, and you were not like this."

Pan Yun tapped the steps with his toes and asked, "Why did the People's Credit Bureau and the Pharmacy build steps here?"

Tao Ji frowned, "It's for pedestrians to sit on. What does this have to do with you being so depressed?"

"I am sitting here now, isn't this related?" Pan Yun asked, "Does the Heavenly Dao even personally look after and manage such a matter?"

Tao Ji's eyes were confused: "What?"

Pan Yun pointed at the person next to him and asked him, "Third Senior Brother, do you feel pity for him?"

Tao Ji looked over.

He was a ragged middle-aged man with a bitter look on his face and thick fingers covered with calluses. He was squatting on the steps counting money. A handful of scattered copper coins were pressed on a prescription. He was still searching his pockets, trying to find a few more copper coins.

Hearing Pan Jun pointing at him and talking, the middle-aged man glared at Pan Jun unhappily, but did not say anything. Instead, he carefully moved the prescription and the money on the prescription a little further away from them.

Tao Ji also looked at Pan Yun disapprovingly, "She's so pitiful. Don't bully her."

Pan Yun said nothing, took out a tael of silver from his pocket, walked into the pharmacy, and soon took out three prescriptions and handed them to the middle-aged man, "According to your prescription."

The middle-aged man was stunned and looked up at her blankly.

Pan Yun stuffed the medicine bag into his arms and said, "Take it back."

Tao Ji was also very surprised and asked, "Junior sister, what are you doing?"

Pan Yun asked him, "Third Senior Brother, do you think that Heaven is watching us now? Does He have any thoughts about this?"

Tao Ji was silent.

Pan Yun turned around and went to the stall diagonally opposite and bought two large bags of buns, twenty in total.

She waved to the beggars hiding under the wall.

The beggars were always keeping their eyes and ears open, so when they saw Pan Yun waving, they immediately rushed over.

Pan Yun distributed the buns to them one by one. After giving each person a bun, she asked Tao Ji, "Will the Heavenly Dao have any thoughts at this time?"

“Is He watching now?”

“Will He praise me for this?”

"Meow——" The little black cat Pan's fur stood up, and the whole cat seemed to be angry. It felt that the host seemed a little crazy.

Tao Ji was speechless and full of confusion.

After Pan Yun finished distributing the buns, she handed the remaining bun to Tao Ji.

Tao Ji took it in a daze. Pan Yun said, "Will the Heavenly Dao think that I am helping my third senior brother, and will that count as my merit?"

From the moment Pan Jun delivered the medicinal herbs to the middle-aged man, her spiritual realm had been ding-dong-dong reminding her that merit points had been credited to her account.

+5
+1+1+1...

Giving out a bun earns one merit point, and until the bun was given to Tao Ji, the spiritual realm became quiet. So, it was still the same thing as giving out a bun, so why didn't Tao Ji get any merit points to give her?
Pan Yun laughed and said, "I am too stupid. The way of heaven is always very clear. We got the subject wrong."

Tao Ji held the bun expressionlessly, "Junior sister, who are you talking to?"

"I'm talking to you, Third Brother."

"But I don't understand a word you say!" Tao Ji said, "When you speak, you have to say something that both parties can understand."

"Third Brother, my merits do not come from the Way of Heaven, but from the people I help. The Way of Heaven does not care whether I save people or not, only the people I save care."

Pan Yun said: "Rules, the important thing is the rules! I think I am too important, you think you and I are too important, the Heavenly Dao doesn't care. There are so many people in this world, how can He keep watching over everyone in this world?"

"He has rules. My merits are due to their gratitude, and my grievances are due to their resentment." Pan Yun said: "It should be said that it is a collection of emotions under the rules. The Heavenly Dao is the maker of the rules, and He will not take actions that exceed His own rules for one or two people."

"So, everything is fake. What Senior Brother and Senior Sister said is fake. They are wrong. The rules are fixed. Heaven lowers its eyes, but its gaze will not be focused on any one person. It looks at everything in this world equally."

Tao Ji stared at her with eyes wide open. The vitality of heaven and earth rushed towards him like crazy. Tao Ji was pushed back two steps. He looked at Pan Yun speechlessly as she slowly closed her eyes and sat silently on the steps.
