Chapter 292: Chapter 288: Craving for Meat_1

When Ya Sen heard the little girl saying she wanted to study Forbidden Curse Technique, he couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows.

“I heard that you’re good at pharmaceuticals, why suddenly want to enter the Yin Yang Department?”

Medical Bureau has two departments, medicine and Yin Yang, and the Yin Yang Department includes thirteen specialties.

Yingbao: “I’ve always been majoring in Forbidden Curse, my pharmaceuticals are effective only with the help of the Forbidden Curse Technique.”

She wanted to learn the Forbidden Curse, let’s see what the heroine can do about it?

Ya Sen skimmed through the booklet, his brows knotted even more tightly, trying to persuade the little girl, hoping she would change her mind: “Why should a little girl like you learn Forbidden Curse? It’s better if you learn how to make medicines with the Doctor of Medicine. It’ll be easier for you to pass the provincial government school exams.”

Yingbao blinked, “I like Forbidden Curse Technique, I won’t learn anything else.”

She didn’t want to take any provincial government school exams, which could end up drafting her to the frontier.

Because every year the Imperial Court appoints some doctors to practice medicine in different places, they are evaluated once every three years, and only those who pass could possibly be transferred to the provincial government or Beijing.

What if the place where they were sent was hit by a plague or another infectious disease? Doctors from county and provincial government bureaus would be dispatched there in advance,

If lucky, some people might be able to return intact. But if they caught an incurable epidemic disease, they could only be left to die in the wilderness.

No, it wouldn’t even be possible to bury the bodies, they would probably all be burnt, not even ashes to be abandoned.

She was still young, still not having lived enough. There was still a lot of wealth in her cave mansion that she hadn’t spent, how could she die so young?

Seeing her stubbornness, Ya Sen had no choice but to intimidate her, “Do you know, once you learn the Forbidden Curse, you must abide by the Five Precepts, Ten Virtues, Eight Precepts, and Fourfold Refuge?”

Yingbao nodded, “I know.” But whether to abide by them or not depends on her own will.

Ya Sen was left speechless for a moment.

But as this child was stubborn, he also had no solution, so he could only take her to the Yin Yang Department to meet the Forbidden Curse Master.

The medical bureau only had one Forbidden Curse Master, a more than fifty-year-old man with two students of Forbidden Curse.

At one glance, Yingbao recognized one of the younger students, just the same boy who chuckled at her earlier.

Master Zhou was quite gentle, but he didn’t say much or laugh. He wore a Feather Crown, a hundred nana Taoist robe, and held a horsetail whisk in his hand. After examining a few Forbidden Curse Techniques from the little girl, he asked her to perform two Sacrificial Dances and draw a few talismans, then he accepted her.

“These two are your senior brothers, you will study with them from now on.”

Master Zhou then turned to his two students, “Zhou Hao, Zhang Min, first take your junior sister to read the Immortal Scripture once, I will be conducting an examination in a few days.”

“Yes.” Senior Zhou Hao and second student Zhang Min saluted their master, then took their junior sister to the classroom.

As they entered the classroom, Zhang Min leaned over and laughed, “Junior sister, you’re really one of us. You walk the Yu Step better than senior brother.”

Zhou Hao glanced at the second student, then said quietly, “second student, stop talking and go get the tools for our junior sister.”

Zhang Min agreed and joyously ran off to fetch the items.

He spent all his time with this stoic senior brother and often got scolded, he was almost dying from gloominess. Now that a junior sister had arrived, he could finally act as a teacher for a while.

After a while, Zhang Min brought a wooden box, took out a set of Mage Robes, a bell and drum, a stack of Yellow Talisman Paper, a writing brush, and also a box of cinnabar.

Zhang Min handed the items to Yingbao, “We’re missing a Peach Wood Sword and a tube of Phosphorus Powder here, I’ll get it from the front later.”

Yingbao nodded, “Thank you, second senior.”

Next, Yingbao officially started her studies in the Yin Yang Department.
