The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Li Wenying: "Since I have paid taxes, do I also have to do labor service?"

Pan Jun nodded hesitantly.

Li Wenying snorted and said, "That will make you exhausted. How can you achieve anything by practicing Taoism like this?"

Pan Yun: "Zhuangzi worked hard all his life, so he was free and unfettered in the world, wasn't he?"

"There is only one Zhuangzi in this world. Open your eyes and look around. Who among ordinary people doesn't struggle for survival all their lives? How many people can break free from the constraints of food, clothing, housing and transportation and cultivate their hearts?"

Pan Yun: "But we can't let the people of the world support us in vain."

"Who says we are raised in vain?" Li Wenying said, "Whenever there is a disaster in the world, we never retreat, and our actions are no worse than those officials who eat salary."

He hit her head hard and said, "Read less and see more of the world. Don't read so much that you become stupid."

Pan Yun: …

She covered her painful forehead and couldn't help muttering: "It's obvious that I should read more books and see more of the world..."

The two found Room B3 and heard two breathing sounds from inside. They were obviously ordinary people, a little weak and had stayed up late.

It’s so early, how can people who stay up late sleep?
Pan Yun knocked on the door so hard that Li Wenying was startled.

Li Wenying was like this, let alone the people in the room. The two heard a few clanging sounds in the room, a scream, and then the sound of hurried footsteps running over.

Li Wenying looked at Pan Yun reproachfully.

Pan Jun touched her nose guiltily. She didn't expect that the door would be so easy to knock on. It made such a loud noise with just a slight touch.

The door opened with a clang. The servant was startled when he saw Pan Yun, but his panic disappeared instantly. "Why is it you?"

Pan Yun: "Do you think it's your housekeeper? Oh, there are only two people in the room, isn't the housekeeper here?"

Servant: “…”

He couldn't help but turn around: "Master..."

His young master didn't know what he was hiding under his pillow, so he hurriedly pulled down the curtain and walked over: "Is it you?"

Pan Yun clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Li."

Young Master Li tugged at his robe, put one hand in front and one hand behind, and walked slowly forward, showing his standard smile: "Master, why are you visiting me so late at night? I wonder what brings you here?"

"It's just past the hour of Xu, how can it be late at night?" Pan Yun said directly: "I came to you to sell talismans."

Mr. Li didn't expect her to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "My father doesn't allow me to buy talismans randomly outside, saying that the quality is uneven. He only allows me to buy from the Shenxian Building."

Pan Yun: "Is the talisman in the Immortal House not effective enough?"

Mr. Li remained silent.

The servant took a look at the young master's face and asked, "How do you know?"

"If the talisman from the Immortal House solves the problem, Mr. Li will not come here again." Pan Jun raised an eyebrow: "Why, Mr. Li doesn't want to solve the problem once and for all, and plans to fall into the same trap twice?"

Li Wenying on the side immediately coughed and signaled Pan Yun to be more reserved. After all, Shenxian Building was the property of Tianshi Mansion, and he, a disciple of Longhu Mountain, was still here.

Master Li hesitated for a moment, then stepped aside to let the two of them in, and asked the servant to serve tea: "Do you know what the problem is in my family?"

Pan Yun looked him up and down and did not see any evil spirit on him, but the exorcism talisman from the Shenxian Building was obviously useful, otherwise he would not have come here with a large sum of money to ask for the talisman.

Pan Yun said: "I recommend that you invite a senior brother or sister from Longhu Mountain to come and take a look."

Master Li swallowed and said, "My father thinks so too, but... I can't find anyone willing to go to Ji'an with me."

He said with a distressed look: "I don't know why, I have already offered 100 taels, but no one is willing to go to Ji'an with me."

Pan Yun was also surprised: "Why? Is your family's problem so difficult?"

Li Wenying glanced at her and said, "I'm busy."

Pan Yun raised her eyebrows. Because the matter involved confidential information, she asked directly through voice transmission: [Because of the fight against the Japanese? ]

Li Wenying nodded slightly and said in a voice transmission: [This opportunity is rare. The fourth-year and fifth-year students all want to take this opportunity to become famous or establish merit. They may have a chance to get the certificate of ordination without taking the test. A mere one hundred taels is not enough for them to give up this opportunity.

As for the students in their first and second years, they are not good enough and have no experience days, so they cannot follow him. 】

Pan Yun's eyes began to roll, looking up and down at Master Li, and then looking again, and again...

Seeing her like this, Li Wenying couldn't help but ask: "You are short of money."

Pan Yun sighed and said, "I don't want to either, but I don't know where my nephew has gone, and he only has a few pieces of silver left. I am worried about going out without any money."

Li Wenying was about to ask to lend her money, but Master Li couldn't help but said, "Can you please stop flirting in front of me?"

The two of them immediately straightened their postures. Pan Yun once again looked at Master Li and said with disdain: "Forget it, just give me a token and a deposit."

Mr. Li was confused: "What?"

"I've taken your case," Pan Yun said, "Give me the token and I'll solve it for you."

Master Li: "...I, I don't even know your ability, how can I give you the deposit? And we don't need a token, I will take the person back after I find him."

Pan Yun looked at him with disdain: "How many days will it take you to get to Ji'an from here?"

Master Li: "It can be reached in one day by car..."

Under Pan Yun's gaze, he lowered his voice, "I am weak and the journey is difficult, so I may be slow, so I have to stay at the post station for one night, and it will take a day and a half to arrive." Pan Yun snorted and counted the days on his fingers: "I will be at your door in five days, so you have to return home within four days."

"Your ability..." With a bang, a ball of fire appeared out of thin air in Pan Yun's palm, and Master Li stared at it with wide eyes.

He swallowed and whispered, "Is this a magic trick?"

Pan Jun raised her eyebrows and flicked her fingers lightly. The fireball flew out of her palm and floated in front of Master Li.

Master Li's eyes widened. He looked at Pan Jun cautiously, stretched out his finger and lightly touched the fire ball. But at the moment he touched it, Pan Jun moved his finger, and the fireball instantly turned into water, hitting Master Li's hand with a splash, making his sleeve wet.

Master Li and the servant screamed and stepped back together, shocked and curious.

He was completely convinced by Pan Yun, and immediately pulled out the purse from under the pillow, and counted out a fifty-liang silver note from it and gave it to her: "Deposit!"

He touched his body again and pulled out a jade pendant for her: "Here, a token of love. You must come to my house in five days."

Pan Yun took it and nodded: "Okay, okay."

She took out the talisman she had drawn and said, "Do you still want to buy talismans? I sell them for two taels less than the ones from Shenxianlou, but the effect is better than theirs."

Mr. Li didn't really want to buy it. He had already hired someone, so why bother spending the money?

It would be better to invite him home and let his father pay for whatever he needs.

The remaining money is all his own.

Pan Yun looked at him meaningfully and said, "Mr. Li, if you don't buy it, how can your butler convince him to go back? I only allow you to pay a deposit, and my talismans are cheaper than those in Shenxian Building. With this purchase and purchase, won't your deficit be made up?"

Pan Yun glanced at the bed.

Young Master Li was shocked, and felt that what she said made sense, so he immediately opened his wallet and said, "Well, then I'll buy a super evil-repelling talisman."

Pan Yun took out the gold powder talisman: "This?"

"Yes, this is it!" Young Master Li bargained carefully: "Thirty-five taels?"

Pan Jun looked embarrassed, but finally nodded reluctantly: "I was only going to give you two taels less, but you and I are destined to be together, so I will give you five taels less."

Mr. Li took it immediately.

Pan Yun took out two pieces of ordinary talisman paper and two peace talismans. "These are talismans that are as good as the high-grade talismans from the Shenxian Building. They are 20 taels each. Mr. Li, I'll give them to you at 18 taels each."

Master Li rolled his eyes and said, "Fifteen taels."

Pan Jun still looked embarrassed, but finally agreed reluctantly.

Li Wenying on the side stared at Master Li with an expression that said "are you blind?"

The servant also looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but perhaps thinking of the deficit that the young man could not make up for, he silently endured it.

With one hand he handed over the money and the other hand he handed over the talisman, Pan Yun instantly earned ninety-five taels of silver. If the deposit was included, the total was one hundred and forty-five taels of silver.

If it's just for travel expenses for training, then she can spend it as she pleases.

Mr. Li also earned a difference of 25 taels. If he was bolder and increased the false offer price, he could easily make a loss of 150 taels.

The bolder your heart is, the bigger the deficit you can fill.

The two of them looked at each other and both smiled.

Mr. Li: "Five days later, I will be in Ji'an preparing a welcome."

Pan Yun: "See you in five days."

As soon as Pan Yun left, Master Li immediately closed the door and held the talisman against the light again and again: "Ping An, come and see, is this talisman the same as the one we bought at Shenxian Building?"

Ping An: "Master, isn't it a little late to distinguish the true from the false now?"

"Why late? Anyway, the butler will be back soon. You can insist that we have met a master. These four talismans are 25 taels each, and this super evil-repelling talisman is 45 taels each."

Ping An opened his mouth wide and said hurriedly, "The price quoted is more expensive than that of Shenxianlou. Doesn't the housekeeper think we were cheated?"

"Who cares? Anyway, I have made up for my shortfall. It's fine as long as this talisman is useful. By the way, if he asks, just tell him that I gave away the 100 taels deposit."

Ping An: "...when Taoist Pan and the old housekeeper meet in five days, won't the deposit be exposed?"

"Let's put it this way first. When the time comes, we'll ask her to help cover it up. If the matter is resolved, I will persuade Dad to give her another 100 taels. Isn't that better than her making another 50 taels?" Young Master Li said, "This is called cooperation."

"This is called cooperation," Pan Yun said, "It's something that both parties agreed to. How can you say that I cheated him, Senior Brother Li?"

Li Wenying: "Five days later, go to Ji'an to meet Mr. Li. After we check the accounts, won't he be exposed?"

Pan Yun: "That depends on how sincere Master Li is."

"It is against the rules of Longhu Mountain to help others deceive customers, even if they are family members."

"How can keeping silent be considered lying?" Pan Yun said, "Besides, I am doing this to maintain the harmony of the other party's family."

Li Wenying: "...never mind, that young man is quite upright. It's obvious that the loss was not caused by any crime, but..."

He looked Pan Yun up and down and raised his eyebrows: "Five days later, it's not your holiday, why are you leaving the palace?"

Pan Yun: "How did I get out of the palace now?" (End of this chapter)
