Chapter 340： Once upon a time there was an old man with a white beard

Before anyone could say anything, Zhou Wuchang poured the gourd with its mouth down, and sure enough, not a drop of water was left.

Everyone couldn't help but lament, and a swarm of people gathered around Zhou Wuchang and asked them which Taoist temple they belonged to.

“We are from the county medical office. 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 on his back to the medical office.

He walked halfway to Yingbao and said to Yingbao: "Come to the medical office early tomorrow." The little apprentice's actions have pushed him and her to the forefront of the crisis. If he doesn't do something, things will be out of control.

Angel of God? Looks good too.

With this 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.

So the master must be the divine envoy, and he must be the divine envoy’s disciple.

Compared to the lives of the Jiang family, what does it matter if she reveals some miracles?

After parting ways with the master and brother, the father looked at the 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.

“Baoer, are you really a fairy boy?” In fact, Jiang Sanlang thought his daughter was magical before, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.

Yingbao shook his head: "I am not a fairy boy."

She would like to be a fairy child, so that she can protect herself and her family, but she is nothing but a strange cave, but there is 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 a divine envoy, no matter what happens in the future, whether he is willing or not, he will not let him become the little disciple of the divine envoy. He will also 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.

It's better now, 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 she 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 see 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 not end for some time. It is 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.

Yingbao came to the Yin and Yang Department of the Medical Department and saw her master and senior brother, dressed neatly, waiting for her. The big gourd was placed next to them. When Zhou Wuchang saw his young disciple, he signaled his eldest disciple to go out and said with a serious face: "Ying Bao, I won't mention your plan yesterday. I just want to tell you that it's easier to get on the boat than to get off. Have you thought clearly?"

Ying Bao blinked and suddenly remembered that his master had met the generals of Jingzhou while traveling and had secret talks with King Na Cheng as an Onmyoji, and he had a bad guess in his mind.

Master, is he really planning to rebel?

Conspiracy to rebel against King Cheng?

Then King Cheng is an unlucky guy. He was killed by Xiao Mo in his last life.

But the matter has come to this, if I dare to say that I can't join the master's pirate ship, will I be silenced by the master?

Yingbao 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 beside him 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 killed, and his followers were cut into pieces."

Zhou Wuchang paused, thought for a while, and looked at his young apprentice with blazing 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?"

Ying Bao: "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 any more.

 possible

Zhou Wuchang did not urge his young disciple, but kept stroking his beard and thinking deeply.

Yingbao 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 King Cheng."

Zhou Wuchang glanced at his young apprentice and asked, "How did you get the gourd and water?"

Yingbao scratched his 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. Grandpa 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 did not think that what the young apprentice told was entirely true, but the fact that she was able to expose 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 do the ritual.” 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 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 stepped forward to check it out.

Not only are people outside curious, but everyone in the medical office is also curious, wondering what Master Zhou is going to do today.
