The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Whether Japan was prosperous for them remains to be discussed, but Izumo was indeed prosperous for them. Not only did they meet here, but they also opened up the door to Japan here.

Izumo Province is the territory of the Mori family. If he dares to challenge the Kikuchi family, he is not incompetent.

In just three days, Yoshikawa Hirono placed two sets of identification documents in front of them.

One set is their own names and origins, but they pretended to be monks who came to Ichibata Temple from the Ming Dynasty to exchange and study.

The monks here include monks, Taoists, witches, warriors and other people who pursue self and power.

This set of proof can show that they are legally registered, well, at least in Japan;

One set is a Japanese name. Pan Yun became the daughter of a branch of the Yoshikawa family. However, she was a psychic since she was a child, so she practiced in Ichibata Temple. After she learned a lot, she went to Kyoto to travel and study with her retainers and slaves...

As everyone knows, the Yoshikawa family is dependent on the Mori family, and her identity certificate is a legitimate proof of her claim to be under the protection of the Mori family.

Maori Shinsuke hoped that she could use this identity certificate with caution. If she wanted to do something too bad, she should not use this identity: "You are from a superior country. No matter what you do in Japan, as long as you can leave the shore, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and no one can catch you. But if you reveal another identity, you can run away, but we can't. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. Please don't forget us allies."

Pan Yun agreed immediately and said, "I am always sincere to my friends. I will do anything for them. Don't worry, even if they catch me and torture me, the other identity is forged by me and has nothing to do with the Maori family."

Maori Shinsuke was very happy and promised: "If you are unfortunately caught, my Maori clan will also do our best to mediate and rescue you."

There’s no way Pan Yun believed him. He didn’t even dare to admit that they were his allies, so how could he dare to save them?

But who cares? With this identity, they are no longer afraid of passing the checkpoints.

Ichijo Kenjin also breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, the Ichijo family is decent in Kochi Prefecture, but in the whole of Japan, it is really not ranked. It is just a wealthy family with a little background.

Along the way, they have relied on the experience and connections accumulated by their ancestors, and used money to buy their way to success.

It is easy and difficult to pass the checkpoint because Pan Yun brought too many people with him. Some of them looked suspicious and were obviously not Japanese. If it were any other time, they would have been checked long ago.

Now, with the endorsement of the Maori family, they have a formal identity certificate and are no longer afraid of passing the checkpoints.

However, in order to survive, Kenjin Ichijo showed his ability to coordinate.

He was very afraid that Pan Yun would think he was useless and kill him.

He had seen her kill people without blinking an eye. He didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Jiro Motoyama and Jiro Chosokabe.

In order to avoid being killed, Yi Tiao Jianren worked diligently and did not let Pan Yun worry about anything. He arranged everyone according to the travel time she selected and prepared the carriages and horses.

There is the Mori family and Ichibata Temple here. The carriage and horse market is huge, and he finally bought a carriage and... a mule here.

You can forget about horses. There aren't many horses in Japan, and they are not tradable.

They could only buy mules, donkeys and cows in the horse and carriage market.

Seeing that he was doing a good job, Pan Yun continued to use him as a guide and also gave him the management of the captured slaves.

This is Qu Le's job.

Qu Le couldn't help but glare at her: "You are not bringing me along for the conversation now, and you don't even bring my servants with you. Are you going to abandon me?"

"What are you thinking about?" Pan Yun glanced at him. "I asked you to make time for training. We will have a fight in two days. Have you trained recently?"

Qu Le: ...

Pan Yun scolded him: "You want to be lazy? You wish, go practice!"

Qu Le was happy and did not refute. He left happily.

"He's still so happy even after being scolded," Miaohe couldn't help but ask, "Is he sick?"

Miao Zhen raised his head to take a look and then lowered his head to look at the talisman formation in his hand without interest. This was taught to them by Fourth Uncle-Master, and Young Uncle-Master learned it immediately. He drew the shape the first time, and the second time he put pen to paper, the energy flowed through and the talisman formation was completed.

But she always stopped at the turning point in the middle. Junior Master said that this was not a turning point, but just the Yuanli's hooking back, just like a person doing a somersault in the water. The body should not be stagnant, and the Yuanli should not have the slightest pause. For this somersault, the Yuanli should turn over smoothly...

She understood it, but she couldn't translate it, so she could only study hard.

Miao Zhen's mind was focused on the talisman formation, but Qu Le insisted on getting closer to her.

Miao Zhen was so annoyed that she asked directly, "What do you want to do?"

"I want you to teach me. I can't practice no matter how hard I try. Isn't there a very simple set of exercises that someone like me with low aptitude can practice?"

Miao Zhen frowned: "Why don't you go find someone else?"

"The others are not as good as you," Qu Le said, "Although Senior Brother Zhang and the others are still better than you in cultivation, I can see that you are more meticulous and comprehensive in your cultivation of the techniques. I want to learn from you."

Miao Zhen's complexion improved, and after thinking for a while, he said, "There is such a set of exercises, but it has problems. Once you practice it too fast, it is easy to go astray. The academy now prohibits disciples from practicing in private. If you want to learn, you have to ask Junior Uncle to protect you."

Qu Le hesitated.

Miaozhen frowned and looked at him.

Qu Le whispered: "She is too powerful now, I don't want to look for her."

"... Junior Master has been so powerful for a long time, why weren't you afraid before?"

Qu Le: "I didn't know she was so powerful and fierce before!"

Miaozhen didn't dare to teach him Zhang Liuzhen's set of skills privately, in case he went astray and she couldn't control herself.

The task of protecting the Dharma should be handed over to the junior uncle who can defeat ten opponents with his own strength.

Pan Yun originally wanted to go back and teach Qu Le again.

But Qu Le is too free now. He can't sit still and must learn now.

Pan Jun thought that they were about to leave and would have to take a car to travel, so they had plenty of time, so he agreed.

Pan Yun taught him.

Xuan Miao and Tao Ji sent them off at the perfect time, just in time to see the spiritual energy flowing towards Qu Le.

The two of them couldn't help but pause. Tao Ji was happy for him: "Can Qu Le finally draw Qi into his body?"

Xuan Miao's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Is this Liu Zhen's set of skills?"

Pan Jun nodded, his eyes sparkling, and looked at Qu Le who was meditating with satisfaction: "I have always felt that this set of exercises is suitable for him, but I didn't expect it to be so suitable."

When Xuan Miao heard this, she suppressed her slight anger and looked at Qu Le seriously. The more she looked, the more her expression changed, and finally she looked at him with surprise and... speechless.

Seeing this, Tao Ji also stared at Qu Le. When he realized the speed of the spiritual energy flowing and the situation of the spiritual energy remaining in the body, he suddenly realized.

"There is always a way out," Tao Ji said after a pause, "God is really fair..."

Pan Yun sighed: "It's fair. This set of skills is really amazing for him who only half understands it and doesn't quite understand it."

Xuanmiao: "This is a quick method. He only has a partial understanding and it is difficult for him to go far on the road of cultivation."

"What's the connection?" Pan Yun said, "Without this set of skills, it would be difficult for him to even enter the Dao, but now he can, right?

Maybe in the future when he needs to make further progress, he will be able to gain some insights, or a new technique suitable for him will appear?"

Pan Yun said: "Some people are born slower than others, but there is nothing wrong with being slow."

Xuan Miao looked at her in surprise: "You have improved a lot. Half a year ago, you wouldn't have thought so."

Pan Yun sighed: "Maybe it's because I've met so many people, my thoughts will always change. Maybe next time we meet, Senior Sister will find that my thoughts have changed again."

Xuan Miao turned around and left: "Let's talk about it next time we meet. Since we have met, I won't see you off. Have a safe journey."

Pan Yun walked her to the roadside and said solemnly, "Take care, senior brother and sister."

Xuan Miao and Tao Ji nodded and replied solemnly: "Take care."

When Pan Yun returned to the inn, Qu Le had come out of meditation. He was scratching his head and said, "Why did I come out of meditation so quickly? Isn't it said that the worst person can stay in meditation for half an hour for the first time? It's only been less than 25 minutes, and I have only completed one cycle of meditation."

Pan Yun: "Just tell me whether you have drawn the Qi into your body?"

Qu Le said excitedly: "It has been attracted, it has been attracted, there is a trace of Yuanli in my Dantian now."

"That's all right, isn't it?" Pan Jun called him, "Call everyone and set off. You can practice on the way. Remember to read the exercises carefully, and it would be best if you can recite them backwards."

Qu Le was excited about his progress. He nodded vigorously and chased after Pan Yun, chattering: "Senior Sister Pan, I can cultivate Yuanli now, so how do I convert the internal force into Yuanli? Also, how do I use the Qiankun bag..."

There are a lot of problems.

Pan Yun stood aside and watched everyone line up and walk out in an orderly manner. He replied casually: "Practice a few more times. When you can enter a state of concentration and complete a large circulation, I will teach you how to convert your internal force into energy. As for the Qiankun bag..."

Pan Yun paused, turned his head to look behind his head and said, "You still have to learn to look inside and find the Niwan Palace."

Qu Le thought it was difficult and expressed his doubts: "Tao Yanbai and Miao He's martial arts are lower than mine, can they also see inside?"

Pan Yun looked at him sympathetically: "Of course, they are Taoist doctors."

Comparing internal vision with that of a Taoist doctor, isn't that wrong?
Qu Le also reacted, remained silent, and prayed in his heart that Pan Yun would forget the question he had just asked.

Qu Le went down silently.

They left Ichibata Temple and headed northwest, which was the direction of Iwami Province.

With the new checkpoint, they had a smooth journey, and Qu Le meditated and practiced on the mule cart.

Each time he entered into meditation, the time he stayed in meditation was not long, only about two quarters of an hour, and he would basically come out of meditation after completing a small cycle.

He felt that it was because he could not sit still and was too excited, but the more he suppressed himself, the faster he came out of meditation. Sometimes he could not even complete a small circulation, and the energy he refined had not returned to his dantian before he came out of meditation.

As soon as he came out of meditation, he could no longer control the energy in his body. He could only let it stay in his meridians, then escape from his body and transform into spiritual energy again.

So recently Pan Xiaohei likes to stay by his side the most. Every time he comes out of meditation, the floating spiritual energy and dissipated energy have nowhere to go, so it takes the opportunity to refine them.

Pan Yun pretended not to see it, but seeing that he was getting more and more irritated, he said, "You haven't realized the truth, so it's difficult to enter a state of concentration, but it doesn't matter, just calm your mind. Most of the people who practice Taoism in the world start with meditation.

Therefore, the second period is called the quiet period, when the mind is quiet and less active. When you can control the active mind, the mind will be scattered and difficult to control. You should control it diligently and start pursuing the Tao. If you have high martial arts skills, you can be compared with a Taoist priest who has reached the third period, or even the fourth period, if you compare martial arts. But from the perspective of Tao, you are only in the second period. "

Pan Yun explained everything to him, and Qu Le was not stupid, so he understood: "Because I rarely calm down and I move more?"

Pan Yun nodded.

"Can diligent practice really increase the duration of a state of meditation?" Qu Le had been doubting himself these past two days: "The more we practice, the shorter our state of meditation will be?"

"Because your heart is becoming more and more impetuous."

Qu Le: "The second period is called the Quiet Period, so what is the third period called?"

Pan Yun: …

Miao Zhen at the side couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you been enrolled for two months? The division of cultivation is the first lesson after enrollment, and you didn't take it?"

Qu Le's face turned slightly red, and the more guilty he felt, the louder his voice became: "The class was so long, I came here to practice, and I couldn't remember the long lectures the teacher gave at that time."

Pan Yun said helplessly: "The third period is called the quiet period. The mind is half active and half quiet. The mind is quiet as if it is focused, and half quiet and half scattered. Work hard and gradually you will become more mature. When you can enter and exit the state of meditation for a whole night in a single thought, you will have reached the third period."

Seeing Qu Le's drooping eyebrows, Pan Yun said: "When you reach the third time, you can use the Qiankun bag."

Qu Le perked up: "Really? Just like you guys, put away everything so that no one else can see or touch it, and only I can take it out?"

Pan Yun nodded and said, as long as you have the ability to keep the Qiankun bag.

Of course, she didn't say this out loud. For new students, encouragement should be the main focus.

Qu Le was fine again, so he went back to the car and continued to try to find the feeling of meditation.

But before he could find the feeling of meditation, they arrived at a city.

Knowing what they were here for, Ichijo Kenjin swallowed and said in a low voice, "My lord, this is the city where the Ouchi clan is located."

Pan Yun looked at the bustling city gate with a solemn look and asked, "So, their family is not close to the sea, so how come they have so many ships in their hands when the trade is settled?"

Ichijo Kenjin said, "This place is not far from the sea. It can be reached in two days. From here to the west, all the way to the seashore, it is the sphere of influence of the Ouchi clan."

"Oh? Where does the famous mountain clan of Iwami Province occupy now?"

Ichijo Kenjin didn't quite understand, but he was sure: "The place you want to go is the territory of the Yamana clan. But I heard that the power of the Ouchi clan is expanding there. I heard yesterday that people from two villages fought over a well. The two villages belonged to different sides, so both sides sent warriors to fight."

Pan Yun: "Who won?"

Ichijo Kenjin said, "They have won and lost, and they haven't stopped fighting yet. They fight from time to time. But I heard that the Ouchi clan occupied a village and captured all the people in the village as slaves. The women were also taken back to the village. The Yamana clan is complaining to the higher authorities, hoping that the Ouchi clan will release the people and return the village." (End of this chapter)
