Chapter 300： travel

Jiang Yunniang looked at Qiu Ling and said, "You go back, I have nothing to do with the Zhang family, so there is no need to bother with it in the future."

Qiu Ling couldn't see anything, but Yu Kun looked displeased.

Jiang Cheng and his wife saw that their aunt had no intention of giving the newlyweds a gift, so they quickly took two pieces of cotton cloth and stuffed them into Qiu Ling's arms as a congratulatory gift.

These cotton cloths are all woven at home and are not dyed. They are white and soft.

Qiu Ling accepted the cloth, thanked her, and then said goodbye to Jiang Yunniang from a distance.

Jiang Yunniang turned around and went back to the backyard, but didn't come out for a long time.

After lunch, towards dusk, Yingbao returned to the medical office alone with a basket of grapes.

Near the medical office, she saw her second senior brother buying things at a stall selling boiled haggis.

“Hey!” Yingbao slapped him, making Zhang Min tremble.

He turned around and saw that it was the junior sister, and said with a smile: "You're back?"

Ying Bao: "Are you afraid of being seen by Master if you dare to eat meat blatantly?"

Zhang Min chuckled: "Master and senior brother went to the Taoist temple and won't be back today. Junior sister, do you want to eat?"

“Don’t eat.” Yingbao walked to the medical office.

Zhang Min quickly gave the money and followed behind with a jar of haggis.

The two of them returned to the courtyard of the Yin and Yang Department, and Zhang Min said again: "Little junior sister, in a few days we will go to do rituals with the master. It may take more than a month. You should prepare first. Prepare more mosquito repellent coils and detoxifying pills. At some point, we might have to sleep outside."

Yingbao was stunned: "Where are you going?"

“Go to Fucheng.” Zhang Min ate haggis and said vaguely, “Someone asked Master to exorcise evil spirits.”

“Isn’t there a forbidden spell master in Fucheng?” Ying Bao was puzzled.

Zhang Minbai glanced at the junior sister: "How can those people compare with the master?" His master is a famous forbidden spell master.

Seeing that the junior sister was still confused, she explained: "Don't look at Master's appointment at the Qinchuan County Medical Office. This is only temporary. In a few days, Master will still have to travel around. Hehe, by then, we will travel all over the country to visit Visit various temples and Taoist temples to discuss Taoism with masters from all over the world..."

Yingbao frowned.

She doesn’t want to go traveling, she just wants to stay at home.

Zhang Min saw through the little junior sister's thoughts and said: "You have become a disciple and you must follow us. When we return, it will be time to become famous. Then senior brother and I will be able to stand alone."

Each forbidden spell master must travel for a period of time before becoming a master, and then he can exorcise people alone.

In fact, this trip was just for Senior Brother’s apprenticeship.

Ying Bao had a grimace on her face, wondering how she could convince her master not to take her there.

Zhou Wuchang came back the next day and ignored the various reasons given by her little apprentice and asked her to pack her things and travel with them.

Yingbao had no choice but to go back and explain to her cousin, and asked him to bring a letter to her parents, telling them that she was going to travel with her master.

Because Master said that traveling can take as little as a few months or as long as a few years, depending on the situation.

She also vaguely mentioned in the letter that there will be floods in two years and asked her parents to be more careful.

So, in the early morning after the beginning of autumn, Yingbao, wearing a bamboo hat on her head and carrying a bamboo basket on her shoulders, followed her master and two senior brothers out of the city gate.

The four masters and apprentices walked for two hours and sat under a big tree on the roadside to rest. Yingbao rubbed her toes and couldn't help but ask: "Master, why don't you hire a carriage?"

Zhou Wuchang said expressionlessly: "Is it better to take a carriage or travel?"

“Well, you can hire an ox cart.” Her calves were cramped.

Zhang Min answered: "You should come to enjoy the autumn and hire an ox cart."

A few years ago, he also traveled with his master, and the soles of his feet were almost broken. Now that he did it again, he felt extremely relaxed. Therefore, the little junior sister must go through hardships first before she can know what it means to be happy after all the hardships. Ying Bao glared at him and took out his own energy water to take a sip.

Well, since I have Wudingzhi anyway, I might as well drink a few more sips to see who gets tired first.

After resting for a quarter of an hour, the four of them continued on their way.

When he came to a water transport terminal, Zhou Wuchang stood still.

“Master, do we want to take a boat?” Ying Bao ran over and asked.

Zhou Wuchang nodded: "First take a boat to Fucheng. In July, I will attend a sacrificial meeting as my teacher."

Yingbao almost jumped up with joy: "It's good to take a boat ride."

I can finally take a break.

Soon, the master and apprentice boarded a cargo ship.

Ying Bao found that the captain was very polite to his master. The two of them obviously knew each other, and he arranged them into two cabins.

No wonder, it turns out that Master has already arranged the itinerary.

Yingbao walked into his cabin and fell asleep immediately.

After walking for several hours, even a serious person like the senior brother looked tired.

Sail the boat after the beginning of autumn when the water is calm and calm.

After the ship had been traveling for several days, there was a section of the waterway that was very turbulent, and the ship owner asked dozens of trackers to help pull it for dozens of miles.

I saw that all the trackers were very thin, with bare arms and clear ribs on their chests.

Among the trackers, the oldest is gray-haired and the youngest is in his teens. They wear straw sandals or go barefoot, carrying ropes on their backs, and walk **** the shore, shouting and singing chants as they go.

When the water surface calmed down, the trackers boarded the bamboo rafts and followed the boat until they reached the next beach against the current, and then continued to go ashore to pull up the tow ropes.

After this trip, there were dozens of trackers, but they only earned about ten guan in total.

A few days later, the ship finally arrived at Fucheng Pier.

Yingbao's master and his disciples got off the boat and walked into Fucheng. They first went to a Taoist temple called Jindingshan in the city to stay.

Elder brother Zhou Hao handed over the name card, and the Taoist temple master personally welcomed him out.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou is here, and the small temple is full of glory.” The temple owner with three strands of beard said with a smile.

Zhou Wuchang clasped his fists at him and said, "Fellow Taoist Jin, are you okay?"

The two exchanged a few words, and Zhou Hao and his junior brothers and sisters saluted Master Jin Guanzhu.

Several people then walked into the temple.

A little Taoist boy came over and led Ying Bao and his two senior brothers to their residence.

Jindingshan Taoist Temple is very large and has a separate guest courtyard. Yingbao has one room to himself, while his two senior brothers live in another.

Yingbao stood at the door and asked Zhou Hao: "Elder brother, how long will we stay here?"

“We will leave when the sacrifices are completed in July, which will probably take a month.” It is only late June now, and it seems that they will stay in the temple until late July.

Ying Bao: "Then I'm going to find Sister Wen tomorrow. Her family is here." Wen Shu said that their family lived in Fucheng and they also opened a drug store called Kang'an Drug Store.

Zhou Hao: "You must tell Master when you go down the mountain, and your second senior brother will accompany you." Fucheng is not like a county town. There are many wealthy and aristocratic families here. If you accidentally conflict with some unreasonable dudes, it will be troublesome. thing.

"Well, I will tell the master." Yingbao was so excited at the thought of meeting Sister Wen and Mrs. Wen.

Traveling is not without its benefits. I might as well take this opportunity to inquire about houses in the city, so that I can have a place to stay when my younger brother Jiang Jie comes to take the imperial examination.
