The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

"How can we refrain from doing what is just because we are afraid of offending one person?" Empress Wang was very unhappy.

Zhu Qiyu was also very unhappy, feeling that Empress Wang did not consider the overall situation and did not understand him.

The emperor and empress parted on bad terms.

However, the people of the whole country are still happy.

The entire court, including civil and military officials, was filled with foolish joy, while only a few realized that from this moment on, the world had changed.

With the power of metaphysics openly revealed to the world, Pan Yun's prestige reached its peak, and from then on, she would be a god-like figure in the Ming Dynasty.

After this incident, Pan Yun no longer needed to worry about Miao Zhen and the other two.

As Pan Yun undergoes her tribulation in front of others, the door to another world slowly opens before the world.

The first thing Pan Yun did was to have the Daolu Si (the Bureau of Records of the Dao) publish a newspaper, a nationwide one, and also compile a book.

"Gather the people from the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Observatory, and the Buddhist Registry to compile a booklet on preventing fraud. The wording and sentence structure should be simple and easy to understand, so that even a seven-year-old child who has just learned to read or an eighty-year-old elderly person with dementia can understand it."

Daolu Si Zheng Yin: "Huh?"

Pan Yun lowered her eyes and gave him a cold look: "Don't you know what kind of people we are? As the saying goes, prosperity is followed by decline. If you want to destroy us, you must first make us go mad. If you don't want the court to destroy you, you should do a good job of restraining us now. Deception and fraud are about prevention, not about being wise after the event."

Zheng Yin swallowed hard and said, "Grand Preceptor, manpower..."

Pan Yun said, "The Ministry of Personnel has long been dissatisfied with the Taoist priests and monks in the Taoist and Buddhist Registries who are receiving salaries without working."

Zheng Yin immediately changed his mind: "I'll go prepare it right away."

Pan Yun stopped him: "Monks and Taoists are classified as the lowest of the low, and their reputation among the people has always been polarized. Many of them are virtuous, but there are also many who harbor filth and corruption. Although I have never thought of removing them from the lowest of the low, I do not want them to fall to the point where everyone hates them."

"In the end, our cultivation is about cultivating the mind in addition to the body. I can slay evil spirits and demons, and I can also slay the human heart."

Zheng Yin sensed the threat from Pan Yun and immediately assured him that he would manage all the Taoist temples in the world well and would never allow anyone to use the name of Taoist temples and Taoist priests to cheat and swindle people.

"But... the Dao is unpredictable. Let alone ordinary people, even we sometimes find it difficult to distinguish between true and false Dao. So what should we do?"

"How many things in this world can be done using Taoist magic?" Pan Yun said, "Aside from a very few cases of catching ghosts, exorcising demons, and eliminating evil spirits that require a great deal of magical power and may result in death, other things like praying for blessings and clearing the way for the deceased are win-win situations. If you really use your magical power, the employer benefits, and you also gain magical power and merit as a reward. Apart from that, my Taoist disciples earn more money through psychological counseling and comforting, right?"

We're all on the same side, there's no need to hide anything.

Zheng Yin's brow twitched. Seeing that Pan Yun had made himself so clear, he also spoke frankly: "Grand Preceptor, a mental illness is still an illness. Our few words are better than a good medicine, and we don't have to take this bitter medicine. Isn't that better?"

Pan Jun nodded: "That's good. I agree with Zheng Yin's point of view. However, there are many swindlers and fraudsters among the monks and Taoists in the community. So, when you write the anti-fraud booklet, please set a price range for everyone."

Zheng Yin was stunned: "What?"

Pan Yun: "Good industry development must be based on price control. Feng shui and geomancy are divided into difficult, medium and easy, and a price range should be set. As for blessing, exorcising evil spirits, and counseling the mind, I don't care about the tips given by customers in private, nor do I care if some Taoist friends are in a good mood and sell or give away half the price. But as long as you want to make money, you can only ask the owner for money within this range. The most important thing is that people know that the value they receive is within this range."

Zheng Yin looked like he understood: "Even if they are deceived, there is a limit; they won't be deceived endlessly."

Pan Yun looked at him and said, "You're really smart. Then why don't you just make the world free of fraud?"

Zheng Yin grinned: "Unless there is no one left in the world, the first to disappear will be the officials in the court."

That's true, even she is about to disappear.

Pan Yun stood up and said, "I'm entrusting this matter to you, Zheng Yin. Please tell Shan Shi of the Sangha Registry to keep the monks and nuns in the Buddhist temples in check. Apart from the rules I've added, there are no new clauses or personnel for either monks or Taoists. The world belongs to all the people. Don't force me to advise His Majesty to exterminate Buddhism and Taoism." Zheng Yin was startled and quickly said, "Grand Preceptor, you are also a Taoist."

"Therefore, I hope that my Taoist school can endure as long as heaven and earth. Only through win-win cooperation can this goal be achieved. The Tao follows nature, and this is not just lip service."

The Direct Seal seemed to be deep in thought.

This is to prevent them from becoming complacent, arrogant, bullying, deceiving, or carried away by the rise of the Grand Preceptor.

Zheng Yin nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

Pan Yun was relieved and prepared to go into seclusion.

Upon stepping outside, he discovered that Wang Feiyin and Zhang Zijin were sitting together playing chess.

Pan Yun immediately stepped forward.

Zhang Zijin lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. Seeing her joyful expression, he raised an eyebrow and said, "You're quite stoic. Doesn't it hurt?"

It hurts!
But in front of outsiders, Pan Yun would rather die than lose face.

She grinned and said, "It's just a tribulation, no big deal."

Zhang Zijin chuckled, looked at Wang Feiyin, and asked bluntly, "When are you leaving?"

Zhang Zijin couldn't even sleep peacefully until he left.

Wang Feiyin put down a chess piece and said with a smile, "In a moment."

Zhang Zijin then got up and left, giving the space to his two fellow students.

Pan Yun blinked, turned around and asked, "Senior brother, I'm also a third marquis now. How can he tolerate me but not you?"

Wang Feiyin smiled faintly and said, "There are differences between even the third marquis."

Pan Yun was shot in the chest with an arrow.

Wang Feiyin shook his sleeve and took out a porcelain bottle: "Your dantian meridians must be very painful right now. This is for you to heal your injuries."

Pan Yun was struck in the heart by another arrow.

Pan Yun: "Senior brother~~"

Wang Feiyin raised his hand to stop her from speaking: "Unless you are undergoing a tribulation, don't look for me anymore. Let mortal matters be mortal matters. Now is the time for you to experience the mortal world and cultivate your minds, so I will not interfere. After returning, I will expand the mountain god temple and from then on, I will accept incense offerings from all directions on behalf of my master. However, as the temple keeper, you still need to go back from time to time."

Pan Jun's eyes were slightly moist. She said "Oh" and escorted Wang Feiyin to the door.

Miaozhen and the other two waited outside the door.

Wang Feiyin reached out and patted each of them on the head, then said to Yin Song, "You don't need to hide anymore. Now that you've broken through to the first Marquis level, go down the mountain to gain experience."

Yin Song knew that from now on, he would encounter far fewer schemes from the imperial court while traveling in the martial world, and he would only need to deal with the trials and tribulations of the martial world.

The world is vast; let him do as he pleases.

Yin Song abandoned his plan to retreat back to his hometown in Sanqing Mountain and instead decided to travel around. (End of Chapter)
