Chapter 288 Want to eat meat
When Yan Sen heard the little doll say that he wanted to learn forbidden spells, he couldn't help but frown.
"I heard that you are good at medicine, why do you suddenly want to enter the Yin and Yang Department?"
The Medical Department is divided into two departments, medicine and yin and yang, and the yin and yang department includes thirteen departments.
Ying Bao: "I have always majored in forbidden spells, and medicine is only effective because of the blessing of forbidden spells."
She just wants to learn the forbidden spell and see what the heroine can do to her?
Yan Sen flipped through the booklet, his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he tried to persuade the little doll to change her mind: "You are a little girl who wants to learn some forbidden spells. Why don't you learn how to prepare medicines from a doctor of medicine? Then you can go to the government to take the exam." It’s easier too.”
Ying Bao blinked: "I like forbidden spells, and I don't want to learn anything else."
She didn't want to take any civil education exam, and then she might be sent to the border if she wasn't careful.
Because the imperial court would appoint some healers or doctors to practice medicine in various places every year. They would be assessed once every three years, and only those who passed the examination might be transferred to the state capital or the capital.
In the event that a place is hit by infectious diseases such as plague, typhoid, and fever, medical doctors from various counties, prefectures, and prefectures will be sent to that place in advance.
The lucky ones may be able to come back intact, but the unlucky ones may have to bury their bodies in the wilderness if they are infected with some incurable epidemic.
No, it's not even possible to bury the bodies. They would probably be burned in a fire and even their ashes would be abandoned.
I am still young and have not lived enough. There is still a lot of money in the cave that has not been spent. How can I die at such a young age?
Seeing her stubbornness, Yan Sen could only threaten her: "Do you know that once you learn the forbidden mantra, you must abide by the Five Precepts, the Ten Good Deeds, the Eight Precepts, and the Four Returns?"
Ying Bao nodded: "I know." But it's up to you whether you obey or not.
Yan Sen was speechless for a moment.
But the doll was stubborn and he had no choice but to take it to a forbidden spell master in the Yin and Yang class.
There is only one curse master in the medical department. He is over fifty years old and has two curse disciples.
Ying Bao recognized at a glance that one of the younger disciples was the boy who laughed at her earlier.
Master Zhou was very gentle, but also stern. He wore a feather crown, a Taoist priest's robe, and a whisk in his hand. He tested the girl on several forbidden spells and asked her to perform two sacrificial dances. , drew a few charms, and accepted her.
"These two are your senior brothers. From now on, you will do your homework with them."
Master Zhou then said to the two disciples: "Zhou Hao, Zhang Min, first take your junior sisters to read through the Immortal Sutra. In a few days, I will take the exam for my master."
"Yes." Senior brother Zhou Hao and second junior brother Zhang Min saluted their master and took their junior sister to the classroom.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Zhang Min stretched out his neck and came over, smiling and saying, "Junior sister, you are really a fellow student. Your Yubu walk is better than that of my senior brother."
Zhou Hao glanced at the second junior brother and said calmly: "Junior brother, don't be poor, hurry up and get a set of cooking utensils for the little junior sister."
Zhang Min agreed and Le Diandian ran to get something.
He spent all day with this unsmiling senior brother, and was being scolded from time to time. He was almost depressed to death. Now that he finally had a younger junior sister, he could live with his senior brother's addiction.
After a while, Zhang Min moved a wooden box and took out a set of mage robes, a hand-held tambourine, a stack of yellow talisman paper, a writing brush, and a box of cinnabar.
Zhang Min handed the things to Ying Bao, "I need a mahogany sword and a tube of phosphorus powder. I will go to the front to bring them to you later."
Ying Bao nodded: "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."
Next, Yingbao officially entered the Yin Yang Department.
Every day, she not only has to memorize the mantras, but also practices the essence-shifting and qi-transforming technique with Master Zhou.
This set of exercises, combined with the Yu Steps, can absorb true energy into the body and circulate hundreds of meridians, which can not only keep fit but also cure diseases and save lives.
This was said by Master Zhou. He also created a set of boxing techniques that his three apprentices must practice every day.
Ten days passed in a flash, and it was a day off for bathing. Yingbao decided to go to her store to have a look and buy some daily necessities.
Of course, the main reason is that she wants to go out and relax and eat some meat secretly.
Because the master said that when learning forbidden mantras, one must abstain from meat, alcohol, sex, and five pungent substances. It is not allowed to start verbal disputes with others, and it is not allowed to be angry or happy, or to kill at will.
She can accept other things, but she can only give up meat.
So Yingbao had to sneak back to the shop alone and ask her second cousin to buy meat for herself.
As soon as she walked out of the door of the medical office, she suddenly heard someone calling her: "Yingbao, where are you going?"
Ying Bao turned around and saw that it was Chen Tiantian, Wen Yurong, and Senior Sister Xue Qian.
"I'm going home." Yingbao didn't want to pay attention to Chen Tiantian, but with Senior Sister Xueqian by her side, she had to answer.
Xue Qian was surprised: "It turns out that junior sister's home is in the county town."
Yingbao nodded.
Chen Tiantian smiled and said: "Yingbao, we don't know where your home is yet. Can you take us to have a look?"
"No." Ying Bao didn't want to spoil her and said, "The elders in the family are not in the county. Only my eldest brother and his wife live there. He and his sister-in-law have just gotten married, so it is not convenient to receive an unmarried woman."
Before Chen Tiantian could say anything, Ying Bao turned to Xue Qian and said, "Senior sister, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."
After that, leave quickly.
Chen Tiantian gritted her teeth secretly, but smiled and said to Xue Qian and Wen Yurong: "Ying Bao always talks like this. She is just not kind to me, but she is also rude to Senior Sister Xue Qian and Sister Yu Rong."
Xue Qian and Wen Yurong both looked a little unhappy.
It's really embarrassing to be rejected outright.
Wen Yurong said angrily: "Tiantian, we are not familiar with her in the first place, and she has a bad attitude towards you. Why do you want to go to her house?" Isn't this asking for trouble? Chen Tiantian is just embarrassing herself, but why? It was really baffling to bring myself and Xue Qian together.
Chen Tiantian paused and said aggrievedly: "We are classmates after all, so I thought I could repair my relationship with her, but I didn't know she was so unkind and didn't even give me the respect of a senior sister."
Xue Qian frowned and looked at her for a while, then said, "I still have something to do, so I won't go shopping with you." Then she turned and returned to the medical office.
Wen Yurong also felt that Chen Tiantian was a bit yin and yang, especially when facing Ying Bao, but she was unfamiliar with this place and had to continue to keep her company.
"Tiantian, didn't you grow up in this county? How about we go to your house and have a look?" In order to relieve the embarrassment, Wen Yurong asked.
Chen Tiantian was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Her house was sold by her uncle, but she had one hundred taels sent by her mother, one hundred taels and two hundred taels of silver given by the Xiao family. She didn't know if she could redeem the old house.
The two girls were wearing white medical robes, and no one in the county dared to provoke them, so they hired a bullock cart and walked towards Zhuzhi Lane.
Arriving at Zhuzhi Lane, Chen Tiantian got off the car and walked to her house to stand in front of her house.
The house here consists of three tile-roofed houses with a kitchen, and a small courtyard half a person's height surrounded by a low wall that can be seen to the end at a glance.
"Erya?" A woman walked out of the kitchen and saw two girls in white clothes and black hair standing outside the low wall. She couldn't help but look at them carefully for a while and called out Chen Tiantian's nickname.
