"Junior brother!" Zhou Hao glared at him and turned to look at Chen Tiantian: "Tell me the truth, why do you have to come to the Yin-Yang Department?"
Chen Tiantian lowered her head and said nothing.
Yan Sen coughed and said, "Brother Zhou, you misunderstood. This child is not talented in medicine, so she wants to learn the art of incantation. What purpose can she have as a teenager?"
Master Zhou opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Tiantian, saying, "I have already said that I will not accept any disciples. If she insists on coming to the Yin-Yang Department, I can only let her be a maid here to sweep the floor."
"Brother Zhou!" Yan Sen looked at Master Zhou disapprovingly: "This child is someone that Grand Master Xiao specifically asked to take care of."
Master Zhou said calmly, "The Grand Master asked you to look after him. What does it have to do with me? I only accept people who are kind-hearted. This woman has an evil mind and cannot be accepted by my sect."
Yan Sen was so angry that he was about to leave. Chen Tiantian nodded quickly: "I...I am willing to be a maid."
Not only was Yingbao surprised, but even Master Zhou and Yan Sen looked at her several times. Wen Yurong felt that Chen Tiantian was unreasonable.
Yan Sen frowned and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this woman.
He thought for a while and said, "No! You'd better come back with me." Then he stood up and left.
Yan Sen walked back with his hands behind his back. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He regretted that he should not have agreed to let Chen Tiantian come here.
Not only did he lose face, but Master Zhou also felt resentful towards him.
Zhou Wuchang is a very petty person. He might write this down in his little notebook and recite the curse day and night.
Oh, what bad luck!
Seeing that the medical officer had left, Chen Tiantian and Wen Yurong followed him out as Master Zhou and his disciples were staring at them covetously.
As soon as they left, Zhang Min came over and asked Junior Sister, "What's going on? Tell us."
Master Zhou also lowered his eyes and thought, as if waiting for Yingbao to explain.
So Yingbao recounted Chen Tiantian's abnormal behavior, from her hometown to the capital. She talked until her mouth was dry and she picked up the water handed to her by her second senior brother and took a big sip.
After listening to this, Master Zhou looked at Yingbao, asked for her birth date and eight characters, and said he wanted to tell her fortune.
Yingbao already knew her birthday from the storybook, so she told the truth.
Zhou Wuchang repeatedly studied his little disciple's birthday, and then took out a compass to tell fortunes for her.
In the hexagram, Yingbao has a very strong fortune, but there seem to be twists and turns in the middle, and she is short-lived, which is very strange.
Because people with good fortune rarely die young, after all, fortune also affects lifespan.
The better her fortune, the longer her life will be. Not only that, she can also use her own fortune to bring good luck to her relatives and friends.
Master Zhou frowned in thought.
He didn't have Chen Tiantian's birth date, so he couldn't calculate her fortune.
But he was sure that there must be an expert behind the woman who advised her that she must cling to someone with strong luck in order to have good luck.
But Chen Tiantian seemed to have used the wrong method, pestering her in the most clumsy way, not knowing that this method often backfired.
But if she still doesn't give up, she might end up taking extreme action.
For example, believing in certain evil spells and trying to change one's fate.
Master Zhou looked at Yingbao with some worry in his eyes.
He was very satisfied with this little disciple and didn't want anyone to harm her.
"Yingbao, come here." Master Zhou stood up and went to the altar.
Yingbao happily followed.
She was sure that the master was going to perform a ritual for her.
Yingbao has been learning forbidden spells for a long time, and always feels a little bit weird. He also begins to believe in certain spells and magic.
Master Zhou first took a bath and changed his clothes, then returned to the altar to burn incense.
The eldest disciple and the second disciple stood by with various magical instruments in their hands, acting as tools.
Yingbao stood on the other side, waiting for the master to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit for her.
Master Zhou held the peach wood sword and began to chant the evil spell: "I am the Heavenly Master, the servant of Heaven and Earth. I am equipped with hundreds of millions of spiritual weapons, which are lined up in front, behind, left and right of me..."
He chanted as he walked the Yu Steps: "What gods dare to stay, what ghosts dare to be in the way? The righteous gods stay, the evil ghosts go away, hurry up and obey the command!"
As he spoke, he used the peach wood sword to make a few slashes at Yingbao's surroundings and head.
Yingbao knelt down on the mat, clasped her hands together, and silently recited the exorcism spell.
I have to get rid of the bad luck from my past life and this life.
By the way, all those sneaky guys in the storybooks must be killed.
Finally, Master Zhou drew another talisman, burned it, mixed it with water, and asked Yingbao to drink it.
To be honest, Yingbao didn't really believe in the magic water, but in order to complete the ritual, she had to drink it.
After seeing his young disciple finish drinking a bowl of talisman water, Master Zhou dipped three fingers in cinnabar and drew a mark on Yingbao's forehead, telling her not to wash it for three days.
So, Yingbao endured the cinnabar mark on her forehead and didn't wash her face for three days.
What’s more, I have never met Chen Tiantian again since my master exorcised the evil spirit for her.
Of course, it may also be because she moved from her previous dormitory to the Yin-Yang Department.
Overall, Yingbao has been feeling refreshed recently, and even went with her master and fellow brothers to exorcise evil spirits for someone.
The family seemed to be very wealthy. The man had a son when he was forty years old. Although the son was born to his concubine, he was brought to the wife's room as soon as he was born and raised by her alone.
But for some reason, when the child was one year old, he started crying day and night for no apparent reason, refused to eat or drink, and did not allow anyone to hold him. He cried even harder when someone held him.
We consulted many doctors and gave the child a lot of medicine, but the child became weaker and showed no signs of improvement.
In desperation, the old man had to come to Huimin Pharmacy to ask Master Zhou for help.
Master Zhou is a famous Zhuyou master in the county. He does not perform a treatment easily, but as long as he is willing to do so, there is nothing he cannot cure.
Therefore, Yingbao had the good fortune to follow her master to the home of the local squire Mr. Zhu, to see how the master exorcised evil spirits and cured diseases.
Master Zhou first went to take a look at the crying baby, checked his limbs, head, belly, lower back, etc., then walked around and asked Mr. Zhu and his wife many questions.
Then he walked to the gate of a small courtyard and said, "There is an evil spirit here."
Mr. Zhu was shocked and stammered, "Master, this is the residence of my concubine, how could there be evil spirits?"
Master Zhou said coldly: "Are you questioning me?"
"No, no, no! I'm just curious. Please, Master, perform some ritual to exorcise the evil." Mr. Zhu didn't dare to say anything else.
Zhou Wuchang asked his eldest disciple to set up an incense table at the gate of the courtyard, light the incense and candles, and begin the sacrificial ritual.
The two people in the yard wanted to come out, but were stopped by Zhang Min: "My master is performing a ritual, you are not allowed to go out. The evil spirit can hide anywhere, and it might be hiding in you. If you bring it out, all your efforts will be wasted."
The concubine looked at Mr. Zhu delicately and weakly, "Sir, I... I'm scared..."
Mr. Zhu sighed and waved his hand: "Just stay in the room and wait until the master finishes the ritual before coming out."
The concubine had no choice but to hide in the house with a little maid.
Zhou Wuchang expressionlessly asked Zhu Yuanwai to bring him a basin of clean water, and then washed his hands. He then drew talismans and chanted spells, and had someone catch a rooster, killed it by slitting its neck, and poured the chicken's blood on the ground and on the talisman paper.
Yingbao was watching from the side, not quite understanding why the master didn't go to the baby to exorcise the evil spirit, but instead came to the door of the concubine's room.
Soon, the concubine's yard and house were filled with smoke from incense. The eldest brother danced the Quexie dance, and Master Zhou drew talismans one by one, and then pasted the talisman papers on the concubine's door and windows.
In the yard, Master Zhou could be heard chanting incantations, holding a peach wood sword and pointing in the direction of the concubine: "Six Jia and six Yi, the evil spirits will come out! Six Bing and six Ding! The evil spirits will enter the underworld! Six Wu and six Ji, the evil spirits will stop..."
The concubine was so frightened that she hid in the house, trembling all the time.
When Zhou Wuchang was carrying the rooster with its neck cut and spilling blood everywhere, the concubine suddenly screamed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Master Zhou, shouting: "It's not me, it's not me, it's not me... I didn't stick the needle in his stomach... Wuuuuu... I have no choice. People say that when you grow up, your aunt will sell me... Wuuuuuu... I have no choice..."
