Chapter 300 Travel

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

Qiuling couldn't see anything, but Yukun looked unhappy.

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 and stuffed them into Qiu Ling's arms as a congratulatory gift.

These cotton cloths are all self-woven and not dyed. They are white and soft.

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

Jiang Yunniang turned back to the backyard and 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 something from a stall selling boiled haggis.

"Hey!" Ying Bao patted 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: "You dare to eat meat blatantly, are you not afraid of being seen by Master?"

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?"

"I won'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."

Ying Bao was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Fucheng." Zhang Min muttered while eating haggis, "Someone asked Master to exorcise evil spirits."

"Isn't there a forbidden spell master in Fucheng?" Ying Bao was puzzled.

Zhang Minbai glanced at his junior sister: "How can those people compare with Master?" His master is a famous Forbidden Curse 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..."

Ying Bao frowned.

She didn't want to travel, she just wanted to stay at home.

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

Every Forbidden Curse Master must travel for a period of time before becoming a master, and then he can exorcise evil spirits alone.

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

Ying Bao grimaced, thinking about how to convince her master not to take her.

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

Ying Bao 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 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 are here to enjoy the autumn, and you even 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 her own energy water to take a sip.

Well, I have Wudingzhi anyway, so 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 ceremony as my teacher."

Ying Bao 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 obviously knew each other, and arranged them into two cabins.

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

Ying Bao walked into her cabin and immediately fell asleep.

After walking for several hours, even a man as serious as his senior brother looked tired.

After the beginning of autumn, the boat was sailing and the water was calm.

After the big ship traveled for several days, there was a section of the waterway that was very turbulent, and the 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.

The oldest among the trackers are white-haired, and the youngest are only in their teens. They wear straw sandals or go barefoot, carrying ropes on their backs, and walk hard on the shore, shouting and singing chants as they go.

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

After this trip, dozens of trackers only made about ten dollars in total.

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

Master Yingbao 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.

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

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is here, and the little temple is full of glory." The three-wisp bearded temple owner chuckled.

Zhou Wuchang cupped 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.

Then several people walked into the temple.

A 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 house. Yingbao has one room to himself, while his two senior brothers live in another room.

Ying Bao 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.

Yingbao: "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.

"Yes, I will tell Master." Ying Bao 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 brother Jiang Jie comes to take the imperial examination.
