Before anyone could say anything, Zhou Wuchang turned the gourd upside down, and sure enough, not a drop of water was left.
Everyone kept groaning and swarmed around Zhou Wuchang and his companions, asking which Taoist temple they were from.
"We are from the county medical department. If you want to see a doctor, please go there." Zhou Hao stepped forward and pushed these people away, letting his master leave.
Zhou Wuchang said nothing along the way and went to the medical department carrying the big gourd on his back.
Halfway through the journey, he said to Yingbao, "Come to the hospital early tomorrow." His young disciple's behavior had put both him and her in the spotlight. If he didn't do something, the situation would be out of control.
A messenger of God? That seems pretty good.
With this identity, it is easier for me to act.
"Okay." Ying Bao was a little scared of her previous behavior, but when she thought that Pei Shixian had already gone to the capital and was talking nonsense in front of the emperor and civil and military officials all day long, she would not be surprised if an imperial decree came one day to kill her whole family.
Therefore, the master must be a messenger of God, and you must be the disciple of the messenger of God.
Compared with the lives of the Jiang family, what does it matter if she reveals some miracles
After parting ways with the master and his senior brothers and returning home, the old father looked at his little girl worriedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Yingbao thought about it, and slapped the dining table in the kitchen. A basket full of fruits and vegetables appeared on the table.
Jiang Sanlang's face twitched. He looked at the basket of vegetables and fruits again. They were exactly the same as what he had eaten before. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"Baoer, you are really a fairy child?" In fact, Jiang Sanlang had always thought that his daughter was magical, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Yingbao shook her head: "I'm not a fairy child."
She wanted to be a fairy child so that she could protect herself and her family, but she was nothing. She just had a strange cave, but she didn't need to tell her father about this.
Seeing that Jiang Sanlang was hesitant to speak, Yingbao explained: "Dad, I revealed the secret to Master just to ask him to protect our family."
There is no other choice but to reveal the secret in front of Master today.
She is just a commoner, without the protection of a powerful family. Even if she has magical powers, she cannot avoid the covetousness of the wealthy families.
But the master is different, he has a special status and is born into a noble family. As long as he becomes a messenger of God, no matter what happens in the future, whether he is willing or not, he will not ignore his little disciple who makes him a messenger of God, and he will find ways to protect his family.
That's why she took the risk.
Jiang Sanlang sighed and whispered, "Bao'er, you'd better be careful in the future."
Yingbao nodded, looking relaxed.
Now that my dad is there to cover me, I don’t have to be sneaky all day anymore.
At dawn the next day, Yingbao knew that her master would definitely take some action today, so she changed into a wizard's robe, took a mask, a peach wood sword and other items, and went out to the hospital.
Jiang Sanlang wanted to send his daughter away, but Yingbao waved her hand and said, "Dad, you stay at home and don't go anywhere. After the ritual is over, we will return home."
The epidemic in the county will take some time to end, so it is safer for my family to return home. It will not be too late to come back after the epidemic is over.
Jiang Sanlang could only watch the little girl disappear around the corner of the street carrying a basket on her back.
Yingbao arrived at the Yin-Yang Department of the Medical Office and saw her master and senior brother dressed neatly and waiting for her, with the big gourd placed beside them.
When Zhou Wuchang saw his younger disciple, he motioned for his elder disciple to leave and said seriously, "Yingbao, let's not talk about your plot against me yesterday. I just want to tell you that it's easy to get on board but hard to get off. Have you thought it through?"
Yingbao blinked, and suddenly remembered that her master had traveled to meet the generals of Jingzhou, and had a secret conversation with King Cheng as an Yin-Yang master. She had some bad guesses in her mind.
Is Master really planning a rebellion
Conspiring to rebel with King Cheng
King Cheng was an unlucky guy. He was killed by Xiao Mo in his previous life.
But now that things have come to this, if I dare to say that I will not board my master's pirate ship, will my master kill me
Yingbao hesitated for a moment, then avoided the master's question and asked, "Master, are you familiar with King Cheng?"
Zhou Wuchang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I am not familiar with him, why are you asking him?"
"Master, let me tell you something." Yingbao sat down on a chair beside him and said seriously, "I met a man on the boat that time, and then I had a dream. I dreamed that King Cheng started a rebellion, but was eventually destroyed by Xiao Mo's troops. King Cheng's entire family was killed, and those who followed him were torn into pieces by five horses."
Zhou Wuchang paused, thought for a moment, and looked at his disciple with a sharp gaze: "Then do you know which team Xiao Mo is leading?"
Yingbao scratched his head, "They said it was the Western Army."
Zhou Wuchang closed his eyes and was silent for a while before he said, "Yingbao, tell Master honestly, how do you know all this?"
Yingbao was confused, but still told the truth: "I saw a book in my dream, and that's what it 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 that she and..."
She suddenly couldn't continue.
I'd better stop at the point and not reveal too much, otherwise I will be useless to my master in the future.
Zhou Wuchang did not urge his little disciple, but just stroked his beard and thought.
Yingbao took the opportunity to show her loyalty and reminded her master: "Master, I am your disciple and will always be. From now on, you will be the messenger of God and I will be the guardian boy of the messenger of God. We can't get too close to King Cheng."
Zhou Wuchang glanced at his young apprentice and asked, "How did you get that gourd and water?"
Yingbao scratched his head, secretly glanced outside, and whispered: "Master, I will only tell you, don't tell anyone else."
"Go ahead." Zhou Wuchang sat upright and glanced at his little disciple.
"In my dream, I met an old man with a white beard. He asked me to help him farm and then used the things from the farm as compensation. The gourd was produced from the farm, and so was the water. The old man had a pool with clear water. Drinking it could strengthen the 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, smelled it, and seemed to be thinking about something.
He didn't think that what his little apprentice said was entirely true, but the fact that she was able to reveal her secrets to him showed that the child really relied on him as a master.
"It's getting late, let's go perform the ritual outside the hospital." Zhou Wuchang put down the apple, stood up, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, the eldest disciple Zhou Hao had already prepared the incense table and other items. He also took the big gourd and placed it in the big basket in front of the incense table.
The gourd was very big, yellow and plump. As soon as Zhou Hao put it down, some people couldn't help but come forward to check it out out of curiosity.
Not only the people outside were curious, but everyone in the medical department was also curious, wondering what Master Zhou was going to do today.
