The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

With the checkpoint in place, the heroes were able to put their worries aside and had a good sleep.

So when they woke up the next day and saw the second sons of the Motoyama family and the Chosokabe family hanging on the tree, they all took two steps back in shock.

"What happened? Why didn't we hear anything?"

When Kenjin Ichijo saw the person hanging on the tree, his knees went weak and he fell to the ground.

Pan Yun walked out from behind him, stood beside him, and said to everyone, "They wanted to do something bad last night, stole our goods and went to Ichibata Temple to report it, so I punished them. Does anyone else have any questions?"

Who would have a problem? The Motoyama family and the Chosokabe family only brought four guards on board, and now they are all hanging on the tree like their master. Who will speak for them?

Ichijo Jianren only felt a chill on the back of his neck. The confidence he had gained from Pan Yun's kindness during this period of time disappeared completely. He treated her more submissively and humbly than before.

Not to mention the prisoners, they looked numb and didn't feel sad or confused just because a few people died.

In their eyes, they are different.

Pan Jun glanced at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."

After walking for less than half an hour, they were about to enter the checkpoint.

This was indeed a relatively large pass, because after walking for several days, it was the first time that Pan Yun and his companions saw the city.

There are two walls and two gates, with fences on the left and right sides in front of the gate to stop people for inspection.

Apart from the fact that there were some strange people wearing monk robes among the inspectors, this pattern was really similar to the Ming government checking pass at the city gate.

A few people looked at each other, and then lined up separately tacitly, with one person who was good at Japanese leading a few people who were not good at Japanese.

Gao Zhiming and the others were surprised to find the difference: "Strange, why can the Taoist learn Japanese so quickly?"

Hu Jing couldn't help but say, "I have had this question for a long time. I learned the Japanese language because... but these people, how long have they been in contact with the Japanese, and they have learned it so fluently."

Song Xuan was very quick-witted and asked, "Why did Gu Xia learn Japanese?"

Hu Jing paused for a moment before answering vaguely, "When I was young, I lived by the sea and came into contact with many Japanese people."

The heroes looked him up and down, suspecting that his so-called existence was actually a pirate.

Hu Jing let them look at him without changing his expression.

The few of them then looked away and continued their discussion: "Yes, we have been learning Japanese from the Japanese every day these days, but we only remember a few sentences used in daily life. But I see that they can talk to people in Japanese."

"Pan Jun and Xue Shao are fine, they both look smart, but how come Zhang Weiyi and the others can learn it in one go?"

Zhang Weiyi: ...He used to be a top student, okay?
It’s just that I’m not as talented as Pan Yun.

Zhang Weiyi tried his luck, turned around and asked Zhang Weiliang: "How are you doing?"

Zhang Weiliang raised his chin and said, "It's OK. Daily calls are no longer a problem."

Zhang Weiyi nodded slightly and did not bring shame to Longhu Mountain.

Gao Zhiming heard this with sharp ears and became even more curious. During the break in the queue, he squeezed next to Wang Cong to find out.

Because among all the Taoists, Wang Cong, Tao Yanbai and Miaohe had the best tempers and would answer whatever was asked.

But Tao Yanbai and Miaohe both had a silly air, and there was an age difference between them, so he felt there was a generation gap, and so he turned to Wang Cong.

Wang Cong really didn't hold back, and said directly: "Because for people who practice Taoism, practicing martial arts is the last task, and cultivating the spirit is the most important task." "Cultivating the spirit?"

Wang Cong: “It’s consciousness.”

He smiled and said, "The ancestors believed that the body is a burden and will be removed one day. Only the spirit can last forever in the world, so we should focus on cultivating the spirit."

"This is the orifice. To cultivate spiritual awareness is to open the orifice of the heart and brain and connect them together. If you have achieved a little success, you will be able to remember everything you see. If you have achieved more, you will be able to remember everything you hear..."

Gao Zhiming and the others widened their eyes: "I seem to have heard of this before, but I always thought it was a myth... Could it be that practicing Taoism can really open up one's wisdom?"

"Of course, opening one's mind is the most basic," Wang Cong pointed at Pan Yun and said, "My junior uncle became smarter the more he practiced."

Xi Jin said excitedly: "My young master is even more amazing, he is born with a photographic memory."

Wang Cong immediately said, "My junior uncle is also born with a photographic memory and an auditory memory!"

The noise was so loud that Pan Yun, who was in the queue ahead of them, heard it. He turned around to look at them and shouted, "What are you yelling about? Stay in line!"

Several people lined up immediately and stopped arguing.

Ichijo Jianren walked in the front, with several strings of copper coins in his sleeves. When it was their turn, he immediately came forward with his guards, stuffing money into the hands of the inspecting monks while introducing Pan Yun: "This is Miss Zhuzi from our company."

Pan Yun dug his toes slightly into the ground, but he was not afraid of the monk who was looking over at him, and even nodded slightly at him.

The monk looked her up and down, then suddenly laughed and pointed at her clothes and asked, "Your daughter changed to a new style so quickly? But why does this dress look old instead of new?"

The question was so sudden that Kenjin Ichijo was a little confused and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Because he doesn't understand.

In a flash, Pan Yun understood what she heard. She nodded arrogantly and said, "The clothes I bought in the shop are not made of very good materials. They look old after just two days of wearing. Does your shop have good fabrics?"

Pan Yun spoke with a pure Iwami accent, so the monk smiled and thought she was from Iwami. "Miss, are you from Iwami? They do catch up with the trends faster than we do, but we have many Buddhist temples here, and the most important one is Ichibata Temple."

Ichijo Jianren was sweating on his forehead and could not understand what was said.

Pan Yun, however, was more like a Japanese than he was, and had no problem talking to him: "Could it be... that the person is in Ichibata Temple?"

The monk raised his chin but smiled without saying anything.

Pan Yun immediately looked at Yitiao Jianren.

Ichijo Jianren was startled and suddenly understood what was going on. He immediately took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the monk's hand.

The monk calmly put the money into his sleeve and nodded, "Yes, the two Shinto priests went to Ichibata Temple yesterday. If you go there and sincerely offer sacrifices to Ichibata Yakushi, you may be able to see him."

Pan Jun was excited and nodded repeatedly: "I want to go, I want to go, I am very sincere, please let us enter the city."

Seeing that she was so happy that she was about to fly, the monk couldn't help but smile. He nodded and let her go without checking again.

When Jianren Yichi entered the city, he was confused. While standing by the roadside waiting for their people to push the goods into the city, he whispered to Pan Yun: "Sir, who are you talking about? Which two gods?"

How does Pan Yun know how people here call Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister?

No, there may be fake people out there. You have to see it with your own eyes to be sure.

Pan Yun whispered, "Take someone to find out if there are two Han people coming to Ichibata Temple, or two Shinto who are wearing Taoist robes like me, one male and one female. Find out their current names." (End of this chapter)
