The next day, Chen Yun and Zhang Qian departed from Tao Lin amidst the farewells of Zhang Chengfan, Wang Shihui, and others.
Along the way, the two saw many impoverished and emaciated civilians fleeing.
Chen Yun has always remembered the purpose of this trip down the mountain and presented all one hundred taels of silver given by Wang Laozhi to the people.
During that time, the silver was all given away.
He then began to distribute the ten strings of copper coins to the fleeing civilians.
In less than a day's time, both the silver and copper coins were distributed.
Suddenly, Chen Yun felt a sense of lightness, as if he had shed some heavy burden.
In that moment, he faintly understood the wise intentions of his teacher.
Money is a burden on the path of enlightenment, and only by letting go can one feel light.
