Chapter 304 Dojo
After saying goodbye to the Wei family, Ying Bao was followed by two servants, each holding a gift box in their arms.
Wang gave her a total of two hundred taels of silver for consultation and medicine, and six pieces of silk satin of different colors.
After returning to the Wen family, Ying Bao wanted to give the silk cloth to Mrs. Wen and Wen Shu, but they refused to accept it.
Xiao Zhenniang: "These are the tokens of gratitude given to you by Mrs. Wang. How can we accept them? You don't have to worry about not being able to carry them. After a few days, I will have them sent back to Qinchuan County and handed over to your family."
Seeing Mrs. Wen like this, Ying Bao could only agree.
Later, Xiao Zhenniang took Yingbao and Wen Shu to the market in Fucheng and ate local delicacies.
Yingbao bought a few fire dumplings at the market, and also bought two small iron pots with lids and a kitchen knife.
These things are not big, easy to carry, and can be used when going out in the future.
For the next few days, Yingbao stayed at Mrs. Wen's house until her second senior brother asked her to return to the Taoist temple.
Because the next day is the first day of the seventh month of Ghost Month, Taoist temples have to perform rituals and pay homage to ancestors, gods and ghosts.
As the saying goes, the Heavenly Official of the upper Yuan Dynasty bestows blessings, the Earth Official of the Middle Yuan Dynasty forgives sins, and the Water Official of the Lower Yuan Dynasty relieves misfortunes."
The "Zhongyuan" when "local officials pardoned sins" happened on the half day of July.
Therefore, the ritual ceremony at Jinding Temple should start on the first day of July and end on the fifteenth day of July.
Ying Bao and her two senior brothers followed the master, sitting cross-legged on the futon and chanting the salvation spell.
At this time, colorful Taoist flags were flying, sandalwood was curling up, and various musical instruments were playing in unison.
The mages danced a prayer dance on the top of the mountain, with their colorful robes fluttering and the ribbons flying behind their crowns, like immortals.
Ying Bao visually observed that there were more than a thousand people in the dojo, most of them Taoist priests and lay people.
After a religious ceremony and a fast meal in the evening, master and disciple went back to their guest rooms to rest.
Most of the Taoist priests and lay people went to rest in the houses and inns at the foot of the mountain, while some stayed in the main hall to guard the incense.
Yingbao lay on the small bed and quietly took out the grapes.
The food in the Taoist temple was too poor. They only gave her a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. She only ate half full. She didn't know how her master and senior brother could endure it. After all, she would have to live like this for more than ten days.
A few days later, Zhang Min quietly came to see his junior sister. "Yingbao, let's go down the mountain."
Yingbao: "Master, did you let you go?"
"Master won't care." Zhang Min whispered: "Are you going? If not, I will go by myself."
"Go!" Yingbao quickly put on her cloth bag, tied her shoelaces, and followed her senior brother out of the guest house.
It was dawn now, and there were not many people in the Taoist temple. The two of them left the Taoist temple and went straight down the mountain.
There are many stalls selling breakfast at the foot of the mountain, most of which sell vegetarian food.
But there are also a few small stalls selling fresh steamed buns and mixed vegetable soup.
There is shredded chicken in this mixed vegetable soup, which is very delicious.
Zhang Min ordered two bowls of mixed vegetable soup and ten large three-fresh buns.
He ate six of them in one go and drank a large bowl of vegetable soup.
After eating, he saw that the junior sister was still eating, so he said, "I want to send a few buns to Master. Please stay here and wait for me to come back."
Yingbao nodded: "Yes."
So Zhang Min bought six more steamed buns and asked the vendor to wrap them in lotus leaves. He put them in his arms and ran up the mountain.
When Ying Bao saw her senior brother leaving, she turned to the vendor and said, "Give me two more steamed buns."
There are nine big buns in one cage, and eighteen in two cages. She wants to save some for the cave and eat them later.
The vendor happily brought in two baskets of three fresh buns and asked thoughtfully: "My little husband, do you want to wrap them up?"
"Give me two lotus leaves and I'll do it myself." Ying Bao said as she took a bite of the three-fresh steamed bun.
"Okay." The vendor handed Yingbao two lotus leaves, and then went to get steamed buns for other customers to serve with vegetable porridge.
After he was busy for a while, he looked back and saw that the steamer in front of the little husband was empty.
After Yingbao ate and drank enough, she paid for the buns, stood up and stood at the intersection waiting for her second senior brother.
Because Zhang Min said he would take her to visit the city and take a look at Sister Wen Shu.
At this moment, a group of people came.
The man in the middle is a middle-aged scribe with three strands of beard and a Baina Taoist robe. He is very similar to Xiao Mo in his previous life.
There were several men in green robes following him, and they all seemed to have extraordinary status.
One of them, an old man in black robes, had a white beard and white hair. After his eyes glanced at Ying Bao, he couldn't help but look at her.
Ying Bao also looked over and met the old man's eyes.
The old man glanced at the bamboo sign hanging on her waist and couldn't help but understand.
Then he said something in the ear of the middle-aged man in Baina Taoist robe, and the middle-aged man also looked towards her.
The last few people stood in front of Ying Bao, and the middle-aged man asked with a smile: "Are you Zhou Wuchang's disciple?"
Yingbao nodded: "Yes."
"I didn't expect Zhou Wuchang to have a female apprentice." The middle-aged man and the people around him laughed and said, "It's really strange."
The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, "I think this girl is a bit extraordinary. I guess that's why Zhou Wuchang accepted a disciple."
"Oh? Mr. Pei, tell me, what's so special about her?" A man in green robe was curious.
Pei Shi first said: "I see that her features are clear and her eyes are clear and her eyes are clear. She is a precocious person. Furthermore, her figure is ethereal and has fairy bones, so she must be blessed with blessings."
Ying Bao took a step back and frowned at the white-haired old man.
The old man named Pei was with Xiao Mo's biological father Xiao Weizhong. It must have been Chen Tiantian's stepfather Pei Shi who came first.
It is said that this old man is a warlock, that is, Mr. Yin Yang who specializes in fortune telling, fortune telling, and feng shui.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Old Man Pei suddenly asked.
Yingbao pretended to be mute, took a few steps back, and stood still in front of the steamed bun stall.
She didn't want to talk to these people, nor did she want to identify herself.
When several people saw that she was silent, they thought she was afraid of life, so they walked up the mountain alone.
Halfway there, the old man Pei looked back again, his eyes incomprehensible.
Ying Bao narrowed her eyes and looked at him without fear.
This person must have recognized her, but he didn't tell her, obviously he had bad intentions.
Unexpectedly, he met Chen Tiantian's stepfather here.
It must be this old man who advises Chen Tiantian to win other people's luck.
snort! If her luck could be taken away easily, she would not do it again.
Ying Bao watched the group of people go further and further away, and finally disappeared on the mountain path of Jinding Mountain.
Zhang Min hurriedly ran down and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "You're in a hurry, let's go! Senior brother will take you to the most prosperous place in Fucheng to see the excitement."
The dojo in Jinding Mountain was too solemn and solemn, and not as beautiful as the folk sacrificial dances. Zhang Min planned to take his junior sister to experience it.
Ying Bao was pulled away quickly by her senior brother, still thinking about the look from Old Man Pei just now in her mind.
If that person fails his plan, he will definitely have another move, so it's better to be careful.
There are many evil spells used by wizards to harm people, and it is difficult for people to guard against them. The most common one is the aversion to victory.
They just pierce a few puppets or scarecrows and write the cursed names on them. Some even use needles to prick the puppets' temples, eyes, chests and other vital areas, place them in a dark place, and curse them day and night.
Ying Bao is not afraid that they will stab him, but he is afraid that they will jump over the wall and kill people.
However, if she really dies, can Chen Tiantian still borrow her luck?
Probably not.
