Chapter 339 God-given Gourd
The master of the temple was very fast and personally directed his apprentices to pry off the two large iron pots in the dining hall and set up two simple earthen stoves in the open space outside the temple.
Ying Bao also drew a circle and asked the viewer to use mats to circle the big iron pot along this line. It was said to be a circle for magic. The master wanted to perform magic and invited gods to do it. Mortals could not see it.
The patrons all followed her and quickly circled the surrounding area, and even had someone carry in an incense case.
Ying Bao walked into the execution ground first and instantly took out a huge gourd from the cave.
The gourd has also been hollowed out, so it's not heavy. My nine-and-a-half-year-old self was able to lift it.
When Master, Jiang Sanlang and others entered the practice field in the mat circle, they were all stunned for a moment.
I saw Ying Bao holding a huge gourd in his hand, pouring water into the big pot, and chanting:
“Heaven and earth are natural, and the evil light is scattered.
The mighty gods from all directions make me natural.
The Lingbao Talisman tells the nine heavens;
Kill demons and bind evil, kill thousands of ghosts.
Follow the Five Mountains and learn about the Eight Seas;
The devil bows his head and his evil defilement disappears..."
Jiang Sanlang and Zhou Wuchang were okay, but Zhou Hao and the viewer were dumbfounded.
Adding water to the two large pots, Yingbao said to the master: "Master, this is a treasure gourd given by God. The water in it can cure diseases. The God asked me to hand the gourd to you, saying that you are a god sent from heaven. make."
Zhou Wuchang walked over expressionlessly and took the big gourd.
The big gourd is not heavy, and there seems to be nothing in it.
The eyes of the temple owner burst out with light, and he hurried forward and touched the big gourd. His mouth split open and he laughed loudly: "The Taoist ancestor of Sanqing is here, Master and disciple Zhou Daoyou are indeed extraordinary."
He turned around and asked Ying Bao: "Which god sent you the little miracle doctor?" He also wanted to worship him well. If he could win the favor of the gods, he would be able to attain enlightenment and ascend soon.
"God didn't tell me the name." Ying Bao took the risk and took out the gourd, but she was beating a drum in her heart.
There is no other way. If you want to push your master to the altar, you must take a risk.
It is most suitable to do this in a Taoist temple.
Moreover, the master of Qinglong Taoist Temple is friends with his master. Even if he performs a miracle, he probably will not be detrimental to his master and disciple.
Jiang Sanlang looked at his daughter with a worried look.
Later, Yingbao added medicinal materials to the pot and asked the little Taoist priest to light the fire and brew the medicine.
When more than half of the pot of water was boiled, Yingbao immediately shouted to stop and asked the Taoist priest to remove the charcoal from the bottom of the pot and take bowls to divide the medicine.
Soon the two large pots of concoction were divided, and half of the people still didn't get it.
Those who didn't get the medicine started crying, and some even insulted the little Taoist priest who distributed the medicine. Finally, they even cursed the Taoist temple.
The temple owner became angry when he heard this and immediately asked his disciples to fork those people down the mountain.
Ying Bao will continue to make medicine.
She asked the master to lift the gourd with its mouth facing down, and she helped him hold the mouth of the gourd.
A stream of clear water flowed out, quickly filling a large pot.
Zhou Wuchang's eyebrows pounded.
Although he was a military commander and had good ears, there was no water in the gourd, yet he could pour water from the mouth of the gourd. He didn't even hear where the water came from.
Zhou Wuchang stared at his little apprentice's hands again and again, but couldn't see anything.
Is it true that she is a reincarnated fairy child, as the rumors in the countryside say?
But where are there any ghosts or gods in the world? The reason why I entered Taoism and learned the art of Yin and Yang is just for the convenience of walking outside.
Master Xiao was afraid of himself, and even the emperor was afraid that he would lead troops to rebel.
And he has been investigating the mystery of the death of his father, mother and family, so he retired to Taoism to practice.
"It's full!" Yingbao held the gourd's mouth and filled another large iron pot. Then she pushed the gourd's mouth away and added medicinal materials to the pot.
Several young Taoist priests were surprised when they saw Master Zhou and his disciples easily pick up the big gourd and pour so much water into the big pot that the total capacity exceeded the gourd. They were all in awe.
Whatever Ying Bao told them to do, they did it happily without any dissatisfaction.
Soon the two large pots of potion were boiled, and after the little Taoist priests distributed it to the patients, seeing that there was still some left, they tacitly drank among themselves.
After drinking it, my whole body felt relaxed and the fatigue from the past few days was gone.
It’s indeed a good thing!
Several young Taoist priests secretly glanced at the big gourd at Zhou Wuchang's hand, muttering to themselves.
Their master also has a gourd, but there is no way to compare with this.
It is said that the visitor bought the gourd at the Jiang Family Specialty Shop. At first he chose a gourd that was not too big or too small and could be hung around the waist without a belt. Unexpectedly, Master Zhou’s big gourd was bought by him today. Compared.
It was already dark now, and Ying Bao, her father, her master and her brothers stayed at the Taoist temple.
Ying Bao was still alone in the room. She took the food brought by the little Taoist priest and took it away into the cave instead of eating it, leaving only the empty dishes on the table.
On the second day, people lying beside the mountain road gradually improved and were able to get up and go to the Taoist temple's porridge shed to get porridge to drink.
Yingbao boiled the concoction for them again, and then went down the mountain with the master to go home.
Among the group of people, Zhou Wuchang walked in front, carrying a huge gourd behind him, which attracted attention.
"Master, master, please save us." One of them recognized Zhou Wuchang as an onmyoji from the Yin-Yang Department of the county medical office, and immediately stepped forward to stop him and ask for help: "The villain's family is all sick, and there is no medicine at the medical office. I beg the master to save the villain’s family.”
Zhou Wuchang ignored this person and looked at Yingbao: "Yingbao, do you have any more medicine?"
He had used up the medicinal materials before, and now he had nothing in his hands.
Yingbao replied: "There is a little honeysuckle, but nothing else." She didn't have much of thistle left, and she didn't want to give it to outsiders.
"Honeysuckle is just honeysuckle, you can use it to boil potion for them to drink." Zhou Wuchang said.
"Okay." Yingbao took out a small package of golden cherry blossoms from the medicine box and asked this person: "Take out your jar, I will make some medicine for you to drink."
The man was very happy when he heard this and immediately took the master and his disciples home.
When the things were ready, Yingbao asked the master to pour water, and she held the mouth of the gourd. When the water jar was filled, she asked the person to boil the honeysuckle and drink it.
As soon as Zhou Wuchang and his party were about to leave, they saw his neighbors on the left and right coming, pleading.
Ying Bao was surprised: "Is the epidemic already so severe?"
Neighbors on the left and right cried and said: "Someone in our family is sick. They are vomiting, having diarrhea and have fever. They are about to die, and the drug stores can't buy medicine."
Ying Bao was embarrassed: "But I don't have any medicine anymore."
The neighbor pointed at the big gourd in Zhou Wuchang's hand and said, "Just give us some water from the gourd."
Such a big gourd, almost as tall as a person, must be extraordinary, and the water inside might be life-saving.
Zhou Wuchang glanced at his young apprentice and seemed to ask silently.
Yingbao turned to him and said, "Master, why don't you put some water for them." She didn't know if her Pupil Spring could cure the epidemic, but drinking it would be beneficial.
Zhou Wuchang twitched his eyes and nodded.
So Yingbao asked them to go home and get something to collect water, and each family could only give one basin.
Zhou Wuchang lifted the big gourd and poured a basin of water into each basin. Before he knew it, people lined up to get water.
It seemed like everyone in the alley came out to ask for water.
Jiang Sanlang sensed something was wrong and quickly took the gourd mouth from his daughter's hand and said to everyone: "There is no water anymore."
