Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya later found out that the person who spoke rudely to the patriarch at the gate of Baoyang Temple was called Chen Mo.Others are not as good as their name, not silent at all, but especially like to express their opinions.

Chen Mo works in a nearby office building. He is a white-collar worker. The news of Baoyang Temple's talismans coming to life has spread to their company a few days ago.At that time, he made several conjectures about how the Taoist temple did this.

Today, Chen Mo and his friends came to see it in person, but unfortunately, they neither found the mosquitoes, nor did they find a way to decipher the absence of mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple.

Unhappy, Chen Mo started talking at the door.Anyway, he has never believed in ghosts and gods.

After hearing what Xie Lingya said, Chen Mo felt that he knew so clearly that he might be a believer here.It is said that Chen Mo didn't take it seriously when he was only entangled in the material problem, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

Of course, Xie Lingya wasn't in the mood to chat with him, so he went back to watching.

In the next two days, Chen Mo will be miserable.

The battery car, which was driving well, turned and ran at him.

I don't know who pushed him when crossing the road, and he was almost hit by a speeding car, but my colleague said that no one pushed him at all.

Even passing by will be hit by falling flower pots.

Chen Mo, who suffered various minor injuries, was very depressed and talked about it in the company.

The friend who went with him asked him: "Chen Mo, you seem to be unlucky after you came back from Baoyang Temple..."

Chen Mo suffocated, and gasped: "Impossible!"

"But you have been too bad these two days, right? And the place where you said the accident seems to be next to Baoyang Temple."

Chen Mo passed Baoyang Temple several times for commuting and eating every day. When he heard this, he froze, remembering that the location was indeed very close to Baoyang Temple.

For a while, everyone was a little cold, and persuaded: "You should go to Guanli to pay your respects, and apologize!"

"Why, why, besides, I scolded at the door." Chen Mo said.

Everyone stopped talking. In fact, after hearing him scolding at the door, I knew that he was a little bit upset.

Only Chen Mo's friend patted him and said in a low voice, "I've also heard that some people said some disrespectful things in the temple, and they were hit by a car when they went out."

Chen Mo said nothing.

When it was time to get off work at noon, Chen Mo was going to eat, because his colleagues didn't dare to leave with him because of an accident in the past two days, for fear of being affected.

Chen Mo was annoyed and bored, he was a little skeptical, how could it be such a coincidence, and felt that it would be a shame in front of his colleagues if he really went to burn incense, and maybe it was just unlucky?

Chen Mo thought, and simply retreated to the next best thing and took a detour.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, a motorcycle drove by, and the people on the car snatched his mobile phone away.

"Damn it! Hey!" Chen Mo chased him out angrily, asking the people in front to stop him incoherently.

But who will help him stop the speeding car? The motorcycle drove away, and Chen Mo also bent down panting, and decided to report the crime to investigate and monitor. It's too annoying, robbing in the city in broad daylight!

Chen Mo straightened his body, and just after taking a step, he felt that his foot was tilted, and he fell on the ground with a nosebleed.

Chen Mo: "..."

Passers-by walked around this unlucky guy one after another, without even looking at him, as if the people in Fuyang were extraordinarily indifferent today.

Ah no, a kind person appeared.

A young man squatted down, handed a tissue and said, "Are you okay?"

Chen Mo looked up, and it turned out that he was the one who replied that Wang Lingguan was useless that day. He was a little embarrassed and his face burned, "Thank you, no, it's okay..."

Chen Mo originally hoped that he didn't recognize him, but unfortunately, he said next: "I think you should come to give incense to the patriarch."

Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Xie Lingya with a very stiff expression.

Xie Lingya lowered his head lightly, and looked at Chen Mo. Not only did the nosebleed not stop, but the tissue was stained red, and his leg was scratched a lot, and the blood soaked through his pants.

The patriarch suppresses demons, he's going to get angry, don't care, those lonely ghosts can't be bullied by Chen Mo alone, push you, trip you, your luck will also fall, it will only form a vicious circle .

This is only on the surface, Wang Lingguan is still in charge of picketing the world, maybe he has secretly made a note for you.

Xie Lingya fished up Chen Mo's trousers, and recited a mantra: "Don't bleed out clean blood, and don't spread dirty blood. Good medicine is worse than cooked spit." Let Chen Mo spit again.

Chen Mo subconsciously followed suit, spat out, and saw that his nosebleed stopped, and the blood on his legs also stopped.

"!!" Chen Mo looked at Xie Lingya in horror, his brain was about to stop functioning as if it had been blasted, and he said blankly after a long while, "Gods, gods cure diseases... are you the Wang Lingguan?!"

"You have too much brains, don't you?" Xie Lingya glanced at him, "Why don't believers are more exaggerated than religious people, if I were the patriarch, I won't talk to you right now."

Chen Mo: "..."

Xie Lingya: "Get up, I'll take you to wash the wound."

Chen Mo was helped up by him, but he was still in a daze.This one is not a god, but also a half-immortal, right? !

Xie Lingya himself thought in his heart, whether the effect of this mantra is good or not, even if he doesn't learn it well, it will still be a bit troublesome.

What Xie Lingya recited just now was the Hemostatic Curse, which was also Zhu Youkeli's.

In the 80s and [-]s, some old people who were still alive, they were either the successors of Zhu Youke, or they learned this mantra by chance. Whoever it is will do, and there is no need for the patient to spit.

According to my uncle's notes in Baoyang's notes, he had witnessed a grown man fall from a very high step, bleeding profusely. People in the village rushed to find an old man who could stop the bleeding, saying that so-and-so in the village was injured Can't stop the bleeding.

The old man only asked who it was, and said that there was no bleeding. When the reporter returned, the man had stopped bleeding, and at this time he was sent to the hospital for bandages.

……

Chen Mo's wound was covered with medicine, and his mood was still not calm, he kept looking at Xie Lingya with the eyes of a god.

Xie Lingya had just finished the consecration ceremony of the statue of the Lingguan and went out to buy some soy sauce, when he met Chen Mo.After he brought Chen Mo back, he took the time to buy soy sauce.

"Okay, let's offer incense." Xie Lingya took Chen Mo to the supporting hall.

Chen Mo first saw the couplets on both sides of the palace gate: Three eyes can see the world, and one whip wakes up the world.

After entering, I saw that because the ceremony had just been completed, the offerings in the Lingguan Hall were all fresh and watery, and the joss sticks hadn't been burned yet.As the candles flickered, the bronze statue of Wang Lingguan became even more sacred and majestic.

Especially the raised middle finger seemed to be a condemnation to Chen Mo.

——Chen Mo looked at Wang Lingguan in a very different mood at this time, although he hadn't actually been able to enter the side hall before, only seeing a few other statues.Looking at the bronze statue of Lingguan now, he wished to show his respect immediately, but unfortunately he didn't understand the ritual, so he could only look at Xie Lingya for help.In his heart, Xie Lingya is like a demigod who understands Wang Lingguan.

Xie Lingya taught him how to light the incense, it cannot be blown out, if the fan is extinguished, the incense will not last an inch, etc.

Chen Mo quickly lighted the incense, apologized earnestly in front of the statue, and sincerely expressed that he would be a loyal follower of the patriarch in the future. After reading for 3 minutes, he put the incense on it tremblingly.

However, as soon as his incense was plugged in, it broke.

Chen Mo was terrified, almost crying, "Da, Master, is the Patriarch refusing to let me go?"

"Wait," Xie Lingya pulled out the incense, thoughtfully, "You stand here first."

Chen Mo really wanted to follow Xie Lingya, he was very panicked now.

Xie Lingya went out and brought an old lady over. Chen Mo saw that the old lady offered incense to Wang Lingguan very piously, prayed for a minute, and then left.And her incense, inserted in the incense burner well, did not show any sign of breaking.

Chen Mo looked pitifully at his incense sticks that were broken and thrown out.

"Okay, please." Xie Lingya stretched out his hand to Chen Mo at this moment.

Following the steps just now, Chen Mo lit another three sticks of incense. This time, he apologized for 5 minutes before inserting the incense.This time, the three sticks of incense were fine, not broken at all.

Chen Mo heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Patriarch with tears in his eyes.

"Master...can I ask why the Patriarch refused to accept it the first time?" Chen Mo said cautiously.

As for breaking the incense, Xie Lingya was a little apprehensive the first time, but he got used to it after breaking it too much, and he could still guess what it meant.

"It's nothing," Xie Lingya said nonchalantly, "Patriarch Master is not being stingy to make an offering for the first time after the consecration of the new statue. I don't forgive you. I guess it's just that he's still a bit out of touch. He doesn't want you to come and offer a stick of incense. On the other hand Invite a believer to offer incense."

"..." Chen Mo was speechless, feeling very complicated.

……

Chen Mo put all the 500 yuan in cash in the merit box, and registered as a believer, mainly leaving a mobile phone number, so that if there is any event in the temple in the future, he will be notified by text message in advance.

"The day after tomorrow is the [-]th day of the lunar calendar, the birthday of the patriarch, if you have nothing to do, come over to enjoy incense." Xie Lingya said casually.

Because he didn't have much money, Xie Lingya didn't dare to do anything big, so he celebrated it internally for the patriarch.Some Taoist temples will hold blessing rituals by the way, so that they can collect money from believers, but there are not many believers in Baoyang Temple, so let's forget it.

Chen Mo listened, but he was very cautious.

When he returned to the company, some colleagues looked at him with sympathetic eyes when they saw that he was injured, and felt that the concept of holding the sun was even more miraculous in their hearts.

They don't necessarily have the urge to believe, but they will definitely remember to be in awe, so as not to be as unlucky as Chen Mo.It can be seen that the god of this place is not only spiritual, but also has a bad temper!

A colleague even said to Chen Mo: "Are you seriously injured? I'm going to attend Xiao Liu's wedding this weekend..."

"I can't go." Chen defaulted sincerely, "Saturday is Wang Lingguan's birthday, and I'm going to Baoyang Temple to offer incense."

Everyone: "..."

During a meal, what happened to Chen Mo?Why is it like being pierced by the soul?

Although everyone persuaded Chen Mo to go to Baoyang Temple to apologize, but Chen Mo has always been awkward, and now he has changed too fast.

Chen Mo injured himself at the entrance of Baoyang Temple with lingering fear, and then the half-immortal in the temple rescued him, and said that the incense broke once when he went to offer incense.

Chen Mo's colleagues were shocked for a while, and now they are convinced of the concept of holding the sun. Although they didn't see the bleeding that Chen Mo said with their own eyes, whether it was true or psychological, but Chen Mo's experience in the past two days depends on everyone. in the eyes.

When Chen Mo did not have any more bad luck, his colleagues became even more fluctuated, and they all made appointments to go to Baoyang Temple to offer incense when they were free.They work near Baoyang Temple, so please feel at ease.

This incident quickly spread to other companies in the office building, and it was exaggerated, and it spread like a god.

It is also because of the proximity, everyone has heard about Baoyang Temple, and even went to it themselves, knowing that their miscellaneous talismans are very powerful.Now that I heard about someone's experience, there are naturally more people who choose to go together to offer incense.

In addition to miscellaneous talismans to repel mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple, mysterious incidents like Chen Mo gradually spread, and everyone began to pay attention to other aspects. As a result, more people offered incense to pray, and asked for town houses or amulets than before.

This is also the result of accumulation. At the beginning, I thought it was miraculous that there were no mosquitoes, and the miscellaneous talismans seemed to work. After hearing about similar things under such perplexity, I became more convinced, and I was willing to pay homage to Wang Lingguan up.

There are also some inexplicable sayings, such as Wang Lingguan has a bad temper, even if he does not worship him, he should be careful not to speak rudely or spit on the ground when passing by Baoyang Temple, after all, Wang Lingguan is a god with the middle finger up.

It's fine to have a bad temper, although Xie Lingya would prefer to interpret it as the patriarch being upright and jealous, but pointing the middle finger is pure rumor.

This problem has appeared since He Zun came. Those who don't understand think that Wang Lingguan is giving the middle finger.Now that there are more pilgrims, it is even more obvious.

Xie Lingya and Zhang Daoting repeatedly clarified to the tourists that this is Yushu Huozhi, Lingguan Jue, exorcising evil spirits, that's not what it means.Grand Master may have a bit of a tough temper like the Leihuo he is in charge of, but it definitely doesn't reflect in his posture!

……

Under such circumstances, Zhang Daoting received a young couple that day.

They entered the Taoist temple and looked around first, but they always had a hesitant look on their faces, especially when they saw the old facilities of Baoyang Temple, the two discussed in a low voice for a long time before finding Zhang Daoting and saying: Is there a Daoist surnamed Xie here?"

Zhang Daoting was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is someone with the surname Xie, but not the Daoist."

The couple looked at each other, "Isn't he a Taoist priest?"

Zhang Daoting asked: "Is there anything you can do with him?"

Seeing the poor spirits of the couple, he was afraid that something might happen.

Sure enough, the husband said: "We heard that this gentleman surnamed Xie is very spiritual, and we would like to ask him for some advice."

Zhang Daoting understood immediately, invited them to sit in the backyard, and found Xie Lingya from the room.

Xie Lingya was very happy to hear that, so it turned out that he has only taken on jobs twice, and he has become famous far and wide. Anyone else come to him?

As soon as Xie Lingya went out, he met the couple face to face, and then shouted out at the same time as the husband.

"Xie Lingya!"

"Cheng Jie!"

The two looked at each other, both speechless.

The man in front of him is clearly Xie Lingya's senior who was two years higher than him in university. His name is Cheng Jie. He also works in Fuyang City after graduation. The two haven't seen each other for a long time.

Xie Lingya's good classmates knew that he had filled in Baoyang Temple as an internship unit at that time, but Cheng Jie didn't know about it.

Cheng Jie's wife asked, "Ajie, do you know...Master Xie?"

Seeing such a young man, she said the last three words a bit falsely.

"What kind of teacher?" Cheng Jie said directly, "This is my college student who majors in financial management. I have never seen him study scriptures. This cross-industry is too big."

Xie Lingya said embarrassedly: "Don't be like this, in fact, my business level is pretty good!"
