Chapter 1094 I believe in his character
The Sanqing Mountain in July is very cool, much better than the sweltering Beijing.
As soon as Pan Yun landed in the mountains, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt that even the air in Sanqing Mountain was sweet.
It was a beautiful sunny day, with green bamboo groves covering the mountaintop and a gentle breeze blowing, yet there was no sign of heat.
The gates of Sanqing Temple were closed, and only the faint crowing of roosters could be heard. The statues of deities on both sides of the road stood quietly in the sunlight.
Pan Yun pushed open the door and went inside. The incense and candles were burning quietly in the hall, already halfway through. Her fingers slid over the incense table and the base of the statue, and when she picked it up, there wasn't a speck of dust.
Pan Yun couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Your senior brother hasn't been slacking off, has he?" Wang Feiyin appeared behind Pan Yun at some point, standing against the light. Pan Yun turned around to look, but even though he was so close, he couldn't see the expression on his face.
Fortunately, Wang Feiyin stepped across the threshold and walked in as soon as he finished speaking, and Pan Yun saw the smile on his face.
"Senior Brother, I've always wondered about something. Everyone cultivates in the mountains, but what's the difference between Sanqing Temple and other places? Why don't you stay in the temple for secluded cultivation?"
“With no worries in my heart,” Wang Feiyin said, “Although the Sanqing Temple is on the summit, everyone can come here. When I am in seclusion here, I am worried about when guests will come to visit. My heart is full of worries and cannot be at peace. Elsewhere, no one knows where I am. Unless you invite me, I will only be forced to come out of seclusion when the Sanqing Mountain collapses. With no worries in my heart, I can be invincible in the world.”
Pan Yun seemed to be deep in thought.
Wang Feiyin walked past her, picked up the oil bottle to add sesame oil, and asked casually, "You traveled all the way from the capital back to Sanqing Mountain just to ask me this trivial question?"
Pan Yun: "Pretty much, I just have some questions I'd like to ask my senior brother to answer."
"Go ahead and ask."
Pan Yun considered for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, if someone needs the Ten Thousand Trees Returning to Spring technique from Sanqing Mountain to save their life, but they are unwilling to become a disciple of Sanqing Mountain, would you teach them?"
"You mean Zhang Liuzhen, right?"
Pan Junchong and Wang Feiyin chuckled.
Wang Feiyin said, "Back then, Master Zhang came to my door asking me to teach him the 'Return of Ten Thousand Trees to Spring' technique. I went to see Zhang Liuzhen. If his dantian hadn't been shattered, he would have been very good at practicing this technique, which could complement his Five Thunder Orthodox Method."
"But his dantian is shattered and his meridians are all severed, so he can't cultivate."
Pan Yun: "He's cured now."
Wang Feiyin glanced at Pan Yun with a half-smile.
Pan Yun instantly understood: "You didn't refuse then, so naturally you won't refuse him now."
Wang Feiyin: "The martial arts of my Sanqing Mountain only select people based on their character, not their background, and naturally do not require people to necessarily enter the sect."
He said with an air of pride, "The Three Pure Ones are so profound, how could ordinary people possibly fathom them?"
Pan Yun: "Fourth Senior Sister is also very worried."
Wang Feiyin smoothly changed his tune: "Xuanmiao is just too considerate and thoughtful, which is why he has so many worries."
Pan Yun looked bewildered: "This is the first time I've heard anyone say that Fourth Senior Sister has something on her mind."
Wang Feiyin glanced at her: "What else should we say? That Zhang Liuzhen is preoccupied with something?"
Pan Yun coughed twice and said, "Senior Brother Zhang must really be having trouble speaking up."
"Hmph, what kind of senior brother is he to you?" Wang Feiyin snorted lightly: "Those old stubborns in the Zhang family, instead of cultivating immortality, they went to cultivate clan power, and they ruined good seedlings."
Wang Feiyin felt an indescribable heartache for Zhang Liuzhen.
After all, before Pan Yun appeared, he was the only one who had a chance to cultivate his true nature and ascend to the upper realm.
Fortunately, despite all the setbacks he suffered, his character remained unchanged.
and……
Wang Feiyin secretly glanced at Pan Yun. He had never revealed that Zhang Liuzhen was still alive because of Pan Yun's influence.
Although Zhang Liuzhen was able to restore his dantian thanks to Xuanmiao and the spiritual medicine brought back by Tao Ji, he knew that all of this was inextricably linked to Pan Yun.
He knew, and Zhang Maocheng knew too.
That's why Pan Yun was able to serve as the Imperial Preceptor so smoothly.
The Zhang family has controlled the Taoist tradition for so many years, and Pan Yun's sudden emergence as the Imperial Preceptor has already subtly placed him above the Zhang family. Putting aside other matters, the current emperor's trust and reliance on Pan Yun far surpasses that of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
However, the fate of the Zhang family patriarch is intertwined with that of the Ming imperial family; they share both glory and ruin.
The Zhang family's contributions far exceeded those of Pan Yun.
However, the Zhang family's efforts were kept secret, few people knew about them, and they could not be publicized.
Wang Feiyin knew that Pan Yun was able to secure his position as the Imperial Preceptor because initially he only needed to contend with the officials in the court and the imperial family, without facing attacks from the Daoist sects. He had the words left by Zhang Maocheng in front of him and Zhang Liuzhen protecting him from behind.
He admires people of high moral character.
Since Zhang Liuzhen did not change his original intention, he naturally would not change his either.
The return of spring is only celebrated among those of good character, regardless of their social status.
Wang Feiyin refilled all the lamps with oil, then walked past Pan Jun to the backyard: "I have left too many times in the past two years. If I leave again, it will not be good for me, nor for my master, and even less so for the people under the divine light of Sanqing Mountain. You should have Zhang Liuzhen come to Sanqing Mountain to find me."
Pan Yun followed him eagerly: "Senior Brother, aren't you afraid that Zhang Liuzhen will transfer the 'Return of Spring to the Trees' skill to someone else?"
Wang Feiyin snorted and said, "Since I dare to pass it on to him, I'm not afraid that he will pass it on to others."
Wang Feiyin then asked her, "Wanmu Guichun makes no precautions against any of the disciples of Sanqing Mountain. If you want to teach Zhang Liuzhen, you can simply return to the mountain and retrieve the book to pass it on. Why don't you do it?"
Pan Yun replied without hesitation, "This is a cultivation technique from our Sanqing Mountain, so naturally it needs your approval, Senior Brother."
Wang Feiyin chuckled softly and said, "His character is no less than yours, so if you wouldn't, he certainly wouldn't either."
Pan Yun: ...So she was a unit of measurement.
Pan Yun silently followed Wang Feiyin back to the backyard.
Wang Feiyin stopped and looked at her: "What else do you want to do?"
Pan Yun was unhappy: "Senior Brother, I just got back, and you're kicking me out before I even sat down?"
Wang Feiyin casually slipped two wooden buckets into her hands and smiled gently: "I knew my junior sister was the most filial. Since you miss your senior brother, go and fetch me some water."
Pan Yun looked down at the bucket and asked, "And what about you?"
"I'll wash the tub."
Pan Jun turned her head and glanced at the tank, which was only a third full, and the bottom was already turning blue. It was clear that the air in Sanqing Mountain was particularly suitable for the growth of organisms.
She twitched her lips, picked up the wooden bucket, and turned to leave.
After leaving the Sanqing Temple, walk down the path on the left for about a hundred steps to reach Hanxing Pond. Pan Jun was too lazy to go through the bamboo forest to fetch water from the Dan Well, so he just scooped up water from Hanxing Pond with two quick splashes and carried it away.
Part of the water in Hanxing Pool comes from Danquan Spring. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. It is the highest pool on Sanqing Mountain.
Generally, they would fetch water from the alchemy well near the alchemy room, but on unusual occasions, such as when they were feeling lazy, or when they were pressed for time or had heavy tasks, they would fetch water directly from Hanxing Pond.
Not only does it save a little distance, it also saves the process of drawing and pouring water from the well.
Pan Yun diligently filled the water vat, and just as she was about to stop and take a breather, several eggs were stuffed into her hand.
Wang Feiyin smiled and said, "I just found them in the henhouse. I didn't expect they would lay eggs while I was away. Quickly fry me some eggs. Oh, and make some noodles too. I'll go to the vegetable garden and pick some greens."
Pan Yun silently held the egg and asked, "Senior Brother, how long have you been fasting?"
Wang Feiyin smiled and said, "It hasn't been long. I just came down the mountain and had some noodles five days ago."
That means he hasn't eaten for five days.
What could Pan Yun do?
It's the only thing I can do for him.
