Chapter 340 Once upon a time there was an old man with a white beard
Before anyone could say anything, Zhou Wuchang tipped the gourd down, and sure enough, not a drop of water was gone.
Everyone couldn't help but lament, and swarmed around Zhou Wuchang and others asking them which Taoist temple they belonged to.
"We are from the county medical department. If you want to see a doctor, go there." Zhou Hao stepped forward to push these people aside and let the master leave.
Zhou Wuchang didn't say anything all the way, and carried the big gourd to the medical office.
Halfway down the road, he said to Ying Bao, "Come to the medical department early tomorrow." By doing this, the little apprentice had already pushed herself and her to the forefront of the storm. If she didn't do something, things would be out of control.
Angel? Looks good too.
With this level of identity, it is easier to act on your own.
"Okay." Yingbao was also a little scared about her previous actions, but when she thought about Pei Shixian, she had already gone to the capital and talked nonsense in front of the emperor and civil and military officials all day long. If an imperial decree came one day, her whole family would be wiped out. I'm not surprised at all.
Therefore, the master must be a divine messenger, and he must be a disciple of the divine messenger.
Compared with the lives of the Jiang family, what does it matter if she reveals some miracles.
After parting ways with his master and brother, the father looked at his little girl worriedly and hesitated to speak.
Yingbao thought for a while, then patted the table in the kitchen, and a basket appeared on the table, filled with fruits and vegetables.
Jiang Sanlang's face twitched, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he looked at the basket of vegetables and fruits. They were exactly the same as those he had eaten before.
"Bao'er, are you really a fairy child?" In fact, Jiang Sanlang thought his daughter was magical before, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Ying Bao shook her head: "I'm not a fairy boy."
She wanted to be a fairy child, so that she could protect herself and her family, but she was nothing but a strange cave, but there was no need to tell her father about this.
Seeing Jiang Sanlang hesitate to speak, Ying Bao explained: "Dad, I exposed the secret to Master just to let him protect our family."
There is no other way to expose the secret in front of Master today.
She is just a commoner without the protection of a powerful family. Even if she has magical means, she cannot avoid the covetousness of the wealthy family.
But the master is different. He has a special status and is from a noble family. As long as he becomes an envoy, no matter what happens in the future, whether he is willing or not, he will not ignore him as the young disciple of the envoy. He will also find ways to protect his family.
That's why she takes risks.
Jiang Sanlang sighed and whispered: "Bao'er, you'd better be careful in the future."
Ying Bao nodded, looking relaxed.
Now it's better, with my father protecting me, I no longer have to be sneaky all day long.
At dawn the next day, Ying Bao knew that the master would definitely do something today, so he put on a mage robe, took a mask, a peach wood sword and other items, and went out to the medical office.
Jiang Sanlang was about to send his daughter off, and Ying Bao waved her hand: "Dad, stay at home and don't go anywhere. Let's go back to our hometown after the rituals are done."
The epidemic in the county will take some time to end. It is still safe for my family to return to their hometown. It will not be too late to come back when the epidemic is over.
Jiang Sanlang could only watch the little girl disappear at the corner of the street carrying a basket on her back.
When Ying Bao came to the Yin and Yang Department of the Medical Department, she saw her master and senior brother, fully dressed, waiting for her. The big gourd was placed next to them.
When Zhou Wuchang saw his young apprentice, he signaled his eldest apprentice to go out and said with a serious face: "Ying Bao, I won't mention your plot yesterday. I just want to tell you that it's easier to get on the boat than to get off the boat. Have you thought clearly?"
Ying Bao blinked, and suddenly remembered that her master had met the generals of Jingzhou while traveling, and had secret talks with King Na Cheng as an onmyoji, and she had a bad guess in her heart.
Master, is he really planning to rebel?
Conspiracy with King Cheng?
Then King Cheng is an unlucky guy. He was killed by Xiao Mo in his previous life.
But the matter has come to this, if I dare to say that I can't join the master's pirate ship, will my master silence me?
Ying Bao struggled for a while and avoided Master's question first, then asked: "Master, are you familiar with King Cheng?"
Zhou Wuchang was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm not familiar with him, why do you ask him?"
"Master, let me tell you something." Yingbao sat down on a chair nearby and said seriously: "That time I met a man on the boat, and then I had a dream. I dreamed that King Cheng rebelled, and was led by Xiao Mo. The soldiers were wiped out, King Cheng's family were all killed, and those who followed him were cut into pieces by five horses."
Zhou Wuchang paused, thought for a while, and looked at his young disciple with bright eyes: "Then do you know which team Xiao Mo is leading?"
Yingbao scratched his head and said, "It's the Western Army."
Zhou Wuchang closed his eyes and remained silent for a while before saying, "Ying Bao, tell Master honestly, how do you know this?"
Ying Bao was confused, but still told the truth: "I saw a book in my dream, and that's what the book said."
"A book?" Zhou Wuchang frowned: "What else is written in the book?"
Yingbao: "The book mainly talks about Chen Tiantian, saying that she will become the Queen Mother in the future, and also talks about her relationship with..."
She suddenly couldn't speak anymore.
I'd better stop here and not reveal too much, otherwise wouldn't I be useless with Master in the future?
Zhou Wuchang did not urge his young apprentice, but just stroked his beard and pondered.
Ying Bao took the opportunity to express her loyalty and reminded her master: "Master, I am your disciple and will always be. From now on, you will be the envoy of God, and I will be the protector boy of the envoy of God. We cannot get too close to that King Cheng."
Zhou Wuchang glanced at his young apprentice and asked, "How did you get the gourd and water?"
Ying Bao scratched her head, glanced outside secretly, and whispered: "Master, I will tell you something, and you must not tell anyone else."
"You tell me." Zhou Wuchang sat upright and looked sideways at his young apprentice.
"In my sleep, I met an old man with a white beard. He asked me to help him farm, and then paid me with things from the farmland. The gourd was produced in the farmland, and so was the water. The grandfather had it. There is a pool, the water in it is clear, and drinking it can strengthen your body and prevent diseases."
Ying Bao said seriously, and took out a few apples and handed them to Zhou Wuchang: "This is my reward, but I can't take more, otherwise I will be driven away."
Zhou Wuchang took the apple and smelled it, thoughtfully.
He didn't think that what the young apprentice told was entirely true, but the fact that she was able to reveal her secret to him showed that the child really relied on him as his master.
"It's getting late, let's go to the door of the medical office to practice." Zhou Wuchang put down the apple, stood up, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
At this time, the eldest disciple Zhou Hao had already prepared the incense case and other items. He also took the big gourd and placed it in the big basket in front of the incense case.
The gourd was very big, yellow and plump. As soon as Zhou Hao put it down, some people couldn't help but curiously came forward to check it out.
Not only the people outside were curious, but everyone in the medical office was also curious, wondering what Master Zhou was going to do today.
