Chapter 341 Divine Envoy
Zhou Wuchang chose a god mask and put it on his face, and put on a white robe. His two disciples also wore god masks, white robes, and mahogany swords hanging from their waists.
After that, they burned incense, prayed, worshiped the gods, chanted incantations, and started dancing to worship the gods.
More than thirty students in the medical department also jumped up, and the scene was spectacular.
After worshiping the gods, Zhou Wuchang picked up the big gourd in one hand and said to everyone: "The gods ordered me to get the holy water from the Yaochi in Heaven to rescue the victims. If anyone in your family is sick, come and get it quickly. Don't wait until it's late."
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked around for something to hold water.
After a while, many people came running to collect water with jars and pottery bowls.
Zhou Wuchang raised the gourd just like yesterday. The two apprentices were holding the gourd on the left and right, and then they saw water starting to come out of the gourd.
People lined up in a long line to receive the clear water one after another. Some people drank it on the spot.
People who have not yet arrived in line ask: "How is it? Is it holy water?"
"Yes, yes, my stomach feels warm after drinking. No, I'll get some more for my kid to drink." The man said and ran to the back to line up.
After a while, dozens of people received the water, but the gourd seemed to be a treasure vase of Guanyin, and clear water kept flowing out.
At this time, even the medical staff and doctors from the medical department ran out. Some people came forward and wanted to get some water to try, but Zhou Wuchang glared back: "Get in line!"
Yan Sen, the medical officer of the Medical Department, also ran out after hearing the news. He stared at the big gourd in Zhou Wuchang's hands for a while, feeling suspicious.
Two moments later, Zhou Wuchang put down the big gourd and sat aside to rest.
Yan Sen then came over, touched the gourd, and shook it again.
The big gourd was so light that it seemed there was nothing inside.
He couldn't help but pull open the gourd's mouth and look into the gourd with one eye.
"Sir, what are you doing?" Zhou Hao walked up to him expressionlessly.
Yan Sen retracted his raised toes, coughed slightly, and inserted the stopper into the gourd's mouth.
He walked up to Zhou Wuchang with his hands behind his back and asked, "Master, where did this gourd come from?"
Zhou Wuchang didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but thinking of the identity of the divine envoy assigned to him by his young apprentice, he said calmly: "The holy water gourd given by the gods."
"Given by God?" Yan Sen sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "So, the master is an envoy of God?"
Zhou Wuchang gave him a cold look, "What? Do you have any objections?"
This Yan Sen was actually a dog of Taishi Xiao. He would write to Taishi Xiao if anything happened to him. If he wasn't afraid of trouble, Yan Sen would have died several times.
Yan Sen laughed dryly: "I'm also curious, when did the master get such a magical object."
Zhou Wuchang ignored him and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
At this time, someone came to ask for water. Zhou Wuchang said to the young apprentice and the older apprentice: "You two go and share water with them."
Zhou Hao unconditionally obeyed his master's order and picked up the big gourd, while Ying Bao quickly assisted.
Then Yan Sen saw that the originally empty gourd actually released water.
This lasted for half an hour.
Yan Sen thought it was amazing and came over again. As a result, Zhou Hao carried the gourd to the master and stood beside him, blocking the people who wanted to touch the gourd.
Yan Sen returned to the medical office angrily and paced back and forth in the study.
Finally, he sat down at the desk and took out the paper to write a letter.
Master Xiao asked him to keep an eye on Zhou Wuchang's movements and write to the capital if there was anything strange.
He wrote one, but felt that it was too early to write now, so he threw the letter into the drawer.
Wait and see what else happens this week.
Outside the hospital, Zhou Wuchong saw that all the nearby patients had received water, and then ordered his two apprentices to pack up the incense cases and go back.
On the second day, many people suddenly appeared outside the medical office and came to ask for water, but Master and Disciple Zhou Wuchang did not show up.
Yan Sen ran to the Yin Yang Department and took a look. No one was in the room. It turned out that they had gone to the Taoist temple early in the morning.
There was no other way, so Yan Sen had to send someone to tell people outside that Master Zhou was not at the medical office today and had gone to the Taoist temple.
When everyone heard this, they ran away cheering and carrying pots and pans to the Taoist temple.
Yingbao followed her master to the Taoist temple, and saw Master Zhou ordering the temple owner to prepare the incense table, saying that he would perform a ritual to invite the gods to appear.
This time, the temple owner asked people to fetch Huang Ling, formed a circle at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and invited master and disciple Zhou Wuchang to go in and perform the ritual.
Zhou Wuchang asked his eldest apprentice to guard outside, and he watched as his younger apprentice suddenly transformed into five large gourds, each filled with water.
He looked at them one by one with an expressionless face, and then motioned to the young apprentice to let them in.
There were already many people outside the dojo surrounded by Huang Ling. After Ying Bao removed half of Huang Ling, everyone saw five huge gourds placed behind Master Zhou.
"Oh my god! There really is a miracle!"
"Master Zhou is the true envoy!"
"That's right! The divine water invited by Master Zhou has saved many of us."
Many of the victims who had taken refuge in the Taoist temple had recovered. They knelt down one after another and paid homage to Zhou Wuchang, calling him the Divine Envoy of Zhou and the Heavenly Master of Zhou.
Zhou Wuchang accepted it calmly and asked the Taoist priest to help divide the water.
As for his two apprentices, they stood behind him and acted like fairy boys.
Ying Bao glanced at the people kneeling on the ground with a calm expression.
After that, the county magistrate also came. He saw these five big gourds and felt that they were very magical. He also asked someone to send a cart of medicinal materials.
With these medicinal materials and the Pupil Spring provided by Yingbao, the number of patients gradually decreased.
But Zhou Shenshi's reputation became even louder and louder.
As the disciple of the Divine Envoy, people recognize Ying Bao wherever she goes and greet her warmly.
After ten days, the epidemic in the county was completely eliminated, but many people still died in the disaster.
Although the rumors about Jiang Yingbao being a monster still appeared from time to time, they were quickly extinguished by the public.
His younger brother Jiang Jie and a group of new students were summoned by the county magistrate. The county magistrate also specifically asked Jiang Jie about the mushrooms and cotton in Dongchen Village.
Jiang Jie answered truthfully: "Every house in our village has planted mushrooms and cotton, as well as peppers and various fruit trees. If Daling is free, you can visit my house and see the countryside."
The county magistrate smiled and nodded in agreement.
After attending the banquet, Jiang Jie and Mr. Wu returned to their hometown with their sister, master, apprentice and Wei Zhan.
Father Jiang Sanlang, Jiang Quan, Jiang Dacheng and his wife, and Yuan Bao went back a few days ago.
As for the shop, because of the recent epidemic, it will simply be closed for a few days.
When Ying Bao returned to the village, she looked around.
The old village at the foot of the mountain was completely destroyed by the sudden flood, and even the blue brick house of the patriarch's house collapsed.
Although the floods have receded now, there is still a lot of silt and muddy mud accumulated on the ground.
The fertile fields on the banks of the Xiaochuan River have also been filled with yellow sand, and the fertile soil has been washed away by the water. It is estimated that the fertile fields will become inferior fields.
However, there was no sign of damage in the village. The villagers of Dongcun Village and Xicun Village all lived on the south slope, and their houses and property were not damaged at all.
But the rest of the villages were in dire straits. The entire township, including the market town, was hit by floods. Many houses were destroyed, and household belongings, cattle, sheep, owners and dogs were washed away by the water.
Doctor Zhang's family was not spared either. Fortunately, Jiang Dalang saw that something was wrong and rushed to the town on horseback early, asking his family to take refuge at Jiang's house in Nanpo.
Now Jiang Dalang's family not only lives with Dr. Zhang's family, but also other relatives.
