The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 387: Selling Body Contract (Happy Birthday to Mo Yan)
Pan Jun was stunned. "Essence-sucking insects?"

Mu Lin's eyes lit up. "You know this kind of insect? Do you have any way to treat it?"

Pan Yun frowned and shook his head, asking, "Is there nothing the Imperial Hospital can do?"

Mu Lin was stunned, "You know my identity?"

Pan Jun said bluntly: "You said your last name is Mu, and there are Jinyiwei outside looking for you. How could I not know? Tell me, are you from the Mu Palace in Yunnan?"

Mu Lin quickly shook his hands and whispered, "We are not a royal palace, we are just a duke's palace. You, don't call us by random names, especially in the Central Plains."

"You are quite cautious. Who was the person who accidentally got infected with the corpse poison?"

Mu Lin: "I can't tell you, but I can tell you that the Imperial Hospital can't do anything about it."

My father was infected with corpse poison, and even the court didn’t know much about it, let alone publicizing it among the people, otherwise it would cause panic and criticism.

Therefore, this matter is only known to a small circle.

Pan Yun didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. After a moment's silence, he said, "I can't save him, but I can give you a bottle of elixir and a few talismans. They can't save his life, but they can make him feel better."

She paused and said, "Perhaps you can go to Mount Longhu and ask the high Taoist priests there if they have any solution."

"Yes, we can go find the Taoist priests in Mount Longhu. The corpse poison was first discovered by a Taoist official from the Imperial Observatory, and he was the one who dealt with the person who spread the corpse poison. He couldn't save people, but there are Taoist priests in this world who are more powerful than him. They may have a way."

Mu Lin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked Pan Yun, "Is the most powerful Taoist priest in the world in Longhu Mountain?"

Pan Jun hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "Although I don't want to admit it, yes."

Mu Lin: "Then I'll go to Longhu Mountain!"

Pan Yun took out a bottle of pills from her bag and gave it to him, with a look of pain on her face as she handed it to him.

Mu Lin took it twice before she let go.

This is the detoxification pill made by the eldest senior brother, and she only has one bottle.

Pan Jun sighed and continued to take things out of his bag, which were a few talismans.

Pan Yun folded them up for him and said, "This is a sleeping talisman. Put it on the bedside or hold it in your hand to help him sleep. This is a detoxification talisman. If he is really in pain, burn the talisman, dissolve it in boiling water and eat it."

Mu Lin swallowed and said, "Drink the magic water?"

Pan Yun: "Not all talismans can be eaten, but my detoxification talisman must be eaten to be effective, and the effect is very good."

Pan Yun said bluntly: "If you hadn't helped us stop the Jinyiwei, I wouldn't have given you the detoxification pill and detoxification talisman."

Mu Lin took it and after a pause asked, "Are we friends now?"

Pan Jun: “Of course.”

After thinking for a while, she seemed to have not introduced herself yet, so she clasped her fists and said, "I am Pan Yun from Sanqing Mountain."

Mu Lin then smiled and replied, "I am Mu Lin from Yunnan, but my ancestral home is Dingyuan."

Pan Yun nodded. "You will know my talismans after you have used them. If you need them in the future, you can write to the Sanqing Temple in Sanqing Mountain, or send them to the Longhu Mountain Academy. I will receive them."

Mu Lin: "You are also in Longhu Mountain?"

Before Pan Yun could answer, the gate of the courtyard rang and she immediately turned her head.

Mu Lin glanced outside and realized that he had been here for a long time. He clenched the talisman and medicine bottle tightly and put them all in his arms. He clasped his fists towards Pan Yun and said, "I'm leaving now. See you later."

He clasped his fists towards Wang Cong and others, then turned and left.

He stood in front of the gate and paused for a moment, as if he was sure that it was his own people on the other side of the gate. Then he gently opened the gate, folded his umbrella and slipped in. He did not take the umbrella away, but put it behind the door before closing it.

Pan Yun and others stood at the window and watched him leave.

After a while, Wang Cong said, "He didn't ask me my name."

Miaohe: “Didn’t ask me.”

Miao Zhen: "He just wants to make friends with Junior Master."

Hongyan: "Xiaohong, can you come out? I see it's not thundering outside, and there's no sun."

Pan Jun retracted his gaze and said, "Let it go."

Xiao Hong emerged from the golden hairpin and exhaled, "I am suffocating to death."

She was very curious about the three people lying in the room. After looking at them one by one, she felt a little sorry. "You should have let me out when these two people died."

Pan Jun: "Why, do you want to eat them?"

Xiao Hong looked disgusted and said, "It's so smelly and ugly, I don't want to eat it. I'm just curious and want to see if I can see the soul of a person who just died."

Pan Yun: "Don't think about it. It's just like a puff of smoke. It has no shape or value. It's not worth seeing at all."

The rain gradually stopped and the sky began to brighten, but it was still gray.

The neighing of cattle and horses could still be heard in front of the mountain temple.

Cao Ye and his men pulled the horse back and saw that Mu Lin's shoulders and arms were wet, and they couldn't help but frown.

Uncle Jin saw this and patted the water stains on Mu Lin's shoulders while scolding him, "Young Master, just let us do these things. Why did you run out with him? If you get sick from the rain, how are we going to explain to the governor and the Duke?"

Mu Lin also patted the water off his arm and said nonchalantly, "It's okay."

Cao Ye looked away without thinking too much, "The rain has stopped, let's pack up and go."

The other people in the mountain temple also decided to leave as soon as the rain stopped. After all, this place was leaky and not a place to stay for long.

Soon, the mountain temple that was originally crowded with people became empty in a short while, while the originally empty official road saw many people coming and going.

Because Mu Lin and his group were the first to leave, they did not notice that after everyone left, there was still a car parked nearby and a horse in the shed. Pan Jun appeared in front of the mountain temple with Pan Xiaohei on his shoulders, watching everyone leave one by one.

Wang Cong walked up to her and asked, "Are we leaving?"

"Can Hu Jing move?"

Wang Cong said, "It's best not to move. The wound on his lower back is not light. The enemy doesn't want to kill him immediately, but they don't want him to live too long either."

Pan Yun said: "Then we won't leave and stay one more night."

After a night's rest, not only can Hu Jing rest, but Pan Yun can also clear away all traces in the mountain temple.

The benefits of this storm soon became apparent. After a heavy rain, all traces of dirt in the yard were basically eliminated.

"A rainy day is indeed a good day to kill someone and dispose of the body. It saves a lot of trouble."

Wang Cong pointed at the two bodies nearby and asked, "Should we bury them?"

Pan Yun thought of Liu Jing and the others who were chasing them, and nodded, "Bury him and destroy the body."

They buried the person directly in the yard.

Hu Jing took the medicine again in the evening, and felt much better when he woke up the next day.

Pan Jun looked at him, "Can you move?"

Hu Jing was about to nod when Pan Yun turned to ask Tao Yanbai, "I shouldn't ask you this. You're a patient, what can you know? Yanbai, tell me."

Tao Yanbai nodded, "It's okay to be gentler."

"Then put more blankets in the carriage and let him lie on his side. Wang Cong, drive slowly so as not to shake him."

Wang Cong agreed.

Hu Jing was deeply moved after hearing this, and he clasped his fists with difficulty and said, "I have no way to repay Taoist Sanzhu for saving my life..."

Pan Yun continued: "Just pledge your love to me."

Hu Jing's body froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Master Sanzhu is joking."

"No, I'm not kidding. I'm serious." Pan Jun quickly handed out a piece of paper and put it in front of him so that he could see it clearly. "See? I've already written the indenture."

Hu Jing opened his mouth wide, this was truly a promise of love!

He looked at Pan Jun, opened his mouth, and opened it again, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Miaozhenmiao and the others have already started packing their luggage, packing up the things that need to be packed and stuffing the things that need to be put into the luggage bags.

Only Wang Cong stood beside Pan Yun and looked at Hu Jing with her.

Pan Yun said quietly, "I knew that your words of "nothing to repay you" were just polite words."

Hu Jing's face flushed, and he said quickly: "No, no, it's just that I have never thought of selling myself into slavery... It feels weird, how about Taoist Sanzhu, you should just kill me and take my life."

"Good!" Pan Yun praised: "I like your courage to rather die than be a slave."

"Take another look," Pan Yun shook the paper in his hand and said, "Although I call it a contract of sale, it is not actually a contract of sale. It will not make you a slave."

Hu Jing then looked at them carefully and read them one by one: "To thank Taoist Pan Sanzhu for saving my life, I, Hu Jing, swear that I will never lie to Pan Sanzhu and will tell her the truth about everything she asks..."

Hu Jing paused for a long time before continuing to read: "Second, never betray Taoist Pan Sanzhu, no matter if the other party is a demon, evil, the emperor, or a representative of justice, anyone who asks about Pan Sanzhu and his brothers, sisters, and nephews who are detrimental to the interests of Taoist Pan Sanzhu, never reveal or betray him;"

Hu Jing couldn't help but look up at Pan Yun.

Pan Yun nodded at him and encouraged him, "Go on."

Hu Jing: "Third, I will take the interests of Taoist Master Pan Sanzhu as my own and hate anything and everyone that is harmful to the interests of Taoist Master Pan Sanzhu; Fourth, I will do whatever Taoist Master Pan Sanzhu asks me to do as long as it does not violate morality..."

Hu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take the paper.

As soon as Pan Yun took out the pen, he bit his finger nimbly and signed and put his fingerprint on it.

Pan Yun silently put the pen back and gave Hu Jing a thumbs up, "What a warrior."

Wang Cong stepped forward and applied medicine and bandaged his finger.

After wrapping, Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Tao Yanbai, remove the door panels and carry him onto the carriage."

"Wait," Hu Jing asked hurriedly, "Master Sanzhu, where are the two assassins who wanted to hold me hostage yesterday?"

Pan Yun: "Buried."

Hu Jing: "...are they all dead?"

Pan Yun nodded: "They are all dead. They are completely dead."

Hu Jing was silent for a moment and then asked, "I don't know why they want to hold me hostage. I don't know how Taoist Sanzhu knew that they wanted to hold me hostage?"

Pan Yun said, "We can talk about this on the way. Mr. Hu, there are pursuers behind us. Are you sure you want to talk about this here?"

Hu Jing was stunned. "Are they Japanese too? They sent so many people to look for me?"

Pan Jun smiled at him and shook his head, "No, it's the Jinyiwei."

Hu Jing was startled and stopped talking.

Officials don't like to be involved with the Jinyiwei, and neither do people in the underworld.

Nothing good will happen to anyone who has anything to do with the Jinyiwei, no matter whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
