The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach
Chapter 696
Chapter 696
Because some of the treasures had been stored for a long time and might have been scattered in the cracks between the stones, the soldiers picked them out. In order to take out a plain silver bracelet, two soldiers actually chiseled the stone, widened the gap and took it out.
Pan Yun watched the whole process. Even the soldiers who were stealing coins did not hide a single coin. The strict discipline reminded her of an army in later generations.
Pan Jun felt more at ease about handing over the remaining half of the treasure to Chen Wen.
When they walked out of the cave, the sky was already bright. The round sun jumped out of the sea level, and the colorful clouds around it were gradually fading.
Pan Jun looked at the sun, exhaled the depression in his chest, and smiled at Chen Wen: “I still need to take Captain Chen’s boat back, just send me back halfway.”
Only half of the journey to Quanzhou and the island where Captain Chen is stationed is the same. When they reach the dividing point, she will go west and he will go southwest.
Captain Chen already had a guess in his mind that Taoist Pan might not be able to fly across the sea in one go and would have to stop in the middle.
For some reason, Captain Chen felt better. He was not completely useless. At least he could give her a ride on the boat.
Captain Chen agreed immediately and led his men on board.
In order to make it easier for them to travel when the time came, he also placed most of the soldiers on two other ships.
The ship set sail, and after half an hour, there was sea on all sides. Captain Chen then waved his hand and ordered his men to bring out the Japanese man in the gray robe.
“It was solved at sea. There was no trace. No one knew who took the treasure.”
Pan Yun nodded.
The soldier stabbed the gray-robed Japanese man in the chest and pushed him into the sea.
The sea surface suddenly became rippled, and a school of fish arrived instantly. After a short while, only the red water was left on the sea surface.
But their big ship soon moved away and all they could see were small sharks jumping out of the sea from time to time.
Pan Jun touched the radish in his sleeve, touched Pan Xiaohei on his shoulder, and sighed: “The sea is still dangerous~~”
The radish trembled under her hand, but Pan Xiaohei sneered. Who was she trying to scare? Did she really think that the radish grew up being frightened?
After sailing for another hour, Chen Wen asked the soldiers to return to the cabin, and the soldiers on the other two boats also went back.
Pan Yun then took out the Three Treasures Tripod, clasped her fists towards Chen Wen and said, “Thank you, Brother Chen. I’ll go ahead.”
After spending half a night together, the relationship between the brother and sister has grown rapidly. Chen Wen also clasped his fists and said goodbye reluctantly: “After you get ashore safely, remember to ask someone to send a letter to you.”
Pan Jun agreed immediately, then jumped into the Sanbao Ding and flew out into the air with a whoosh.
Pan Yun let the Sanbao Ding rise into the air, rise into the air, and rise into the air again.
The infusion of Yuanli made the formation in the cauldron start working, which could not only keep them out of the cold, but also compress the surrounding spiritual energy and air to flow in, so as to prevent them from catching cold and lacking oxygen when they reached high altitudes.
Pan Yun’s energy was rapidly depleted. She looked at the sun in the sky and sighed, “So I like to travel at night, or in cloudy weather. A clear sky is really a test of my ability.”
Miao Zhen comforted her: “On the sea, even if someone saw you, they would just think they saw a fairy or that they were seeing things, and they wouldn’t complain to the Tianshi Mansion.”
Pan Jun was relieved instantly: “That makes sense.”
She decided to land as soon as she got to shore, so that no one would know about it.
Chen Wen craned his neck to watch the pot fly away, exclaiming, “He is truly a god!”
He retracted his gaze and looked behind him. His trusted veteran was prying through the cabin and peering out. When their eyes met, he immediately smiled and came out: “Boss, are we in touch with the half-immortal?”
Chen Wen stroked his mustache and said proudly, “Of course, didn’t you hear me calling her brother and sister?”
The veteran gave a thumbs up.
Chen Wen warned: “Don’t spread what happened today, just keep it in mind.”
The old soldier agreed immediately: “Brothers, we all know it in our hearts. When we went in again, there were so many things missing. We are not blind, so we guessed that these Taoist priests have the same magical powers as the mysterious Taoist priest last year.”
He sighed, “I just didn’t expect it to be so magical.”
Chen Wen murmured: “I didn’t expect it…”
But it was a pleasant surprise.
He had a hunch that they would have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. This would be his opportunity as well as the soldiers’ opportunity.
“Boss, how do we arrange so many treasures?”
Chen Wen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “We’ll count it later and keep 20%, 10% for the brothers as military pay, and 10% for the brothers in need to settle down. Include the brothers who went out to sea this time as a reward.”
He sighed and said, “Last year, the Japanese pirates came ashore, and this year, the sea wind invaded. Fujian suffered two major disasters in a row. 80% of the remaining money should be exchanged for money and food. You can find someone in the army who is familiar with the merchants, grain stores, and escort agencies on the shore, and distribute the money to disaster relief.” The old soldier agreed, his voice hoarse: “Thank you, sir.”
Chen Wen tilted his head to look at him: “Your family is from Tingzhou Prefecture, right?”
“Yes.”
“Tingzhou Prefecture was also severely affected this time, and I heard that Ninghua County is still in chaos…”
The old soldier’s eyes turned red, and he knelt on the ground with a flutter: “Sir, my home is on the edge of Ninghua County. Qingliu County is now also in the hands of the rioters. Sir, I, I…”
Chen Wen reached out and pulled him up, pressing his shoulder hard and said, “I understand, I understand everything. This time you bring people ashore, quietly, and go home to take a look. If you can’t survive over there, bring your family here. The island is short of people.
But you also know that life on the island is not easy, even going out is difficult…”
Veteran: “As long as I can survive.”
Chen Wen’s words were stuck in his chest. He patted the old soldier’s shoulder and sighed, “Go.”
The old soldier happily agreed and became more excited about escorting the treasure ashore.
Pan Yun flew in the sky for an hour and finally saw the coastline. She looked down and felt dizzy, and even the tripod shook a few times.
Hongyan and Xiaohong, who had just been released, screamed in fear.
Miao He was very familiar with the situation and quickly stuffed a piece of brown sugar into Pan Yun’s mouth: “Master Junior must be hungry!”
“That’s right!” Miao Zhen nodded vigorously, then leaned over the edge of the pot and looked down, pointing her in the direction: “There’s a forest over there, let’s go there.”
Tao Yanbai reported in real time: “There is no one on the beach. No one is there at a glance. Little Master, fly without worry. No one will see you.”
Pan Yun descended with confidence, slowly pressing down on the branches and leaves, and landed in the woods.
Pan Yun took out the Three Treasures Tripod and fanned himself: “It’s too hot in the sky. I’m dizzy from the sun.”
The three brothers and sisters nodded together: “It’s too sunny, too sunny!”
Hongyan & Xiaohong: …
Pan Xiaohei laughed loudly.
Pan Jun pretended not to hear and took out a large white radish from his sleeve. He looked at it and said, “It’s really white and tender. It quenches your thirst at first glance.”
The ginseng spirit trembled in her hand and couldn’t help screaming: “I can’t quench my thirst! I’m not a carrot!”
Pan Yun touched it and said, “I can’t bear to eat the whole thing, please give me a whisker to taste~~”
The ginseng spirit couldn’t refuse, so she lowered her green tassel and pulled out a whisker as thick as her little finger from her feet and gave it to her.
Pan Jun took it, stuffed it into his sleeve, then took a bite of the ginseng beard and pressed it under his tongue.
The meridians and Dantian that had been over-consumed of energy were instantly relieved.
As soon as the ginseng force entered her body, it replenished her essence, which then turned into Yuan force. She immediately felt refreshed.
“Ginseng is indeed very nutritious!” Pan Yun reminded Tao Yanbai: “You are the most popular with plants. Go back and find out how to raise ginseng essence. We want to raise it to be plump, healthy and vigorous, and have many offspring.”
Tao Yanbai: “…The book doesn’t seem to describe how to raise ginseng spirits. It only describes how to catch ginseng spirits and how to…eat them.”
When the ginseng spirit in the sleeve heard this, he couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Pan Yun quickly comforted it through his sleeve: “These people don’t understand sustainable development. Don’t be afraid. I’m not that kind of person. You’ve become a spirit and can transform into a human. In my eyes, you’re just like a human. How could I eat you?”
The ginseng spirit popped up its head, it turned into a human face, and cried loudly: “You just ate me!”
“That’s just your whiskers, just like your hair. It’s normal for people to lose hair occasionally. We lose hair every day, and there are people who specialize in selling hair…”
The ginseng spirit looked unconvinced.
Pan Yun: “If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to see it later. If I lie to you, I’ll be struck by lightning!”
The ginseng spirit then reluctantly stopped.
Pan Yun scolded Tao Yanbai: “You are also stupid. There is no record of raising ginseng spirits. Can’t you raise it like ginseng?”
Tao Yanbai bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
