Part-Time Taoist Priest

The small vegetables grown in the backyard were harvested, and Xie Lingya picked and fried two dishes. Fortunately, only a small piece of land was allocated at the beginning, and now it is getting busier, so growing vegetables is a leisure activity.

Xie Lingya put the dishes on the table and said to Zhang Daoting, "Daoting, go and call me Brother Hai to eat."

What Hai Guanchao said, if Xie Lingya learned the Taisu pulse method within three months, his relationship with Xie Lingya would not be rented from Wang Yuji, and the pulse method would be a gift from him.

It's not a master, let alone a master, but it's called brother.

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Zhang Daoting broke into a sweat, and went to the opposite side to ask Hai Guanchao to come over for dinner.

Ever since Xie Lingya basically mastered Taisu's meridian technique, he was complacent, and Hai Guanchao's mentality collapsed.

Hai Guanchao originally thought that he had set an impossible task for Xie Lingya, but this master decided to do it. Who would have thought that this guy is simply not human, he has mastered the Taisu pulse method for a month!

Even though the Taisu pulse technique is ever-changing, it is still within it. As long as one masters the veins, no matter how complicated the pulse condition is, one can understand it, all it takes is practice.

"Doctor Hai, the boss told you to eat." Zhang Daoting saw that Hai Guanchao was still in a daze in the clinic, there were no patients for the time being, and he was sitting with a book in his hand.

"...Oh." Hai Guanchao adjusted his glasses, got up and closed the door to go back with Zhang Daoting.

When crossing the road, Hai Guanchao couldn't help muttering: "How do you say he learned it..."

How did this brain grow?

Hai Guanchao can reach the current level at this age, and his brain is definitely not bad, but it took him a few months to learn the basics of Taisumai method.

Xie Lingya, you bastard, how did you learn so quickly? !

"Doctor Hai," Zhang Daoting glanced at Hai Guanchao sympathetically. The slap in the face was so severe that he couldn't bear it anymore, and he especially felt the same way. I know, but I heard a sentence when I was practicing talismans.

"A little bit of spiritual light is a talisman, and the world is wasting ink and Zhu in vain.

"Some things are so mysterious. I have practiced hundreds of thousands of talismans, and it may not be as good as the boss. He is not a Taoist priest, so I am very desperate."

Hai Guanchao: "..."

The world wasted Mo and Zhu, Hai Guanchao groped, nodded slowly, at this time his feet also entered the door, and he heard Xie Lingya deliberately shout: "Brother Hai, sit down and eat."

Hai Guanchao also smiled at him, and said in relief: "Fortunately, you failed the postgraduate entrance examination."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Xie Lingya: "..."

... This person is too vengeful, attacking people suddenly!

Hai Guanchao pretended to be a meal and sat down, comfortingly said: "I just thought, if you are so good at these things, if you have a particularly high degree, I will inevitably feel sad."

"Don't worry about it," Xie Lingya said with a dark face, "I will definitely pass the exam next time!"

Of course, even if you pass the exam next time, it will take so long.

"By the way, boss, I received a package today." Zhang Daoting said, "I think the sender seems to be from the Cultural Bureau."

"Well, it should be that the book has arrived." Xie Lingya bit his chopsticks and opened the package, which contained more than a dozen copies of "Yangyang Night Talk".

When Xie Lingya first took over Baoyang Temple, he went to the Cultural Bureau for a walk, and by the way, he learned that they were going to compile a book, and the content was mainly about local legends, so he came back and sorted out the materials and provided them.

Now, this book has been released, besides the sample booklet, Xie Lingya bought some more himself.

Zhang Daoting opened it and saw that the author of the article on Baoyangguan had two people, one was Xie Lingya, and the other was an editor. They were responsible for revising and polishing this manuscript. After all, Xie Lingya is not a professional.

Looking at the content, it is even more exaggerated. A certain master of Baoyang temple subdues demons and saves millions of people in Fuyang.

Zhang Daoting said in surprise: "Boss, the ancestor is so powerful, can the talisman given by the ancestor make the river continue to flow?"

Xie Lingya: "No, I made it up."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Zhang Daoting was also stupid for a while, he said it was some kind of Taoism, he didn't expect to make it up.

"From ancient times to the present, many sects and Taoist priests like to exaggerate. I just follow the trend." Xie Lingya said in order to beautify his behavior, "This book always talks about Yandi and Huangdi, Nuwa Shennong, I think the ancients The notes are not bad, but people nowadays write more plainly."

Zhang Daoting sweated, "This is..."

Xie Lingya: "Let me tell you, I found an ancient method of summoning souls, and nine times out of ten I would say that Tang Xuanzong used this method to see the soul of the noble concubine after Yang Guifei died. Wow, there are so many methods, I am afraid it is enough Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty used different methods to invite Concubine Yang to come up to relieve his longing after dinner every day, even more frequently than before he died, and it makes no difference whether he is dead or not."

Zhang Daoting almost laughed out loud, who would like to be lovebirds in the sky and Lian Lizhi in the ground, this couple is too famous, and their fame is posted by the technique of ghost communication, just like Qianlong and Cixi are always posted in food stories.

At this time, Hai Guanchao was beside Shi Shiran and said: "There is still a difference."

"..." Xie Lingya and Zhang Daoting took a few seconds to react, their faces were speechless.

Xie Lingya joked: "Our Dao Ting is still a monk, doctor, don't talk nonsense..."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

People have their own circle of friends, and so do ghosts.

For the wandering souls near Jingui Pedestrian Street in Fuyang City, Qin Limin is a different kind of ghost.

This ghost dared to wander around Wang Lingguan's temple all day long, and even went into the backyard. That's all. He patrolled around every night when it got dark.Whenever he encounters things like theft and fraud, he must keep a close eye on them. Even if the old lady falls to the ground and no one can help her, he can't wait to help her up by herself.

Of course, he couldn't help him, so he could only go back and call Xie Lingya, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, run, hurry up, the old lady is going to be helped up by someone else!"

Xie Lingya could only respond with "...".

Some ghosts don't know why, this new ghost doesn't look like he's been detained, and generally people who can control ghosts use ghosts to do something... How should I put it, anyway, it won't be such a trivial matter thing.

Qin Limin was also ashamed to say that he had been tricked by the old ghost, and he was forced to atone for his sins here because of the oolong incident that followed.

A ghost asked Qin Limin, and Qin Limin blushed and said, "I'm different from you, I'm a good friend of mankind..."

Ghosts: "..."

So, with the help of Qin Limin, a good friend of the human race, Baoyang Temple finally got a chance to appear on a local TV station.

——Because of helping five citizens in a row and providing clues to the police three times within a month, Baoyang Temple finally attracted the attention of the city channel of Fuyang TV.They are currently working on a series of good people and good deeds.

After being contacted by the reporter, Xie Lingya was very speechless, "I thought, no matter what, our well water would be the first to make the news..."

Don't think about spells and the like for now, but their well water is really popular, and now dozens of people come to fetch water for drinking every day. In the city, it is very rare for someone to be willing to go to such trouble.

This is because after a period of time, the quality of Baoyang well has become more widely known.

However, just like the first pennant they received was for righteous deeds, the first time they were on the news was because of good people and good deeds...

However, this is also a publicity opportunity, of course Xie Lingya will not refuse.

Anyway, Zhang Daoting, the only Taoist priest of Baoyang Temple, will be on camera.

……

At [-] o'clock in the evening after cooperating with the filming, the urban channel of Fuyang City TV Station broadcast one of the urban warmth series: enthusiastic Taoist priests in the city.

The news introduced a miniature Taoist temple located in a bustling city. The only Taoist priest in it, Zhang Daoting, was very young. Also very supportive of him.

The Taoist temple has also won the pennant of the rescued people for their bravery, and the police at the police station have also praised it. The nearby residents and vendors all think that this little Taoist priest is helpful. Although he is a monk, he is a great neighbor.Everyone has an affectionate nickname for him: Enthusiastic Taoist priest.

On TV, Zhang Daoting smirked at the camera, with his new title on the side.

Enthusiastic Taoist Zhang Daoting: "..."

Xie Lingya laughed wildly.

Zhang Daoting touched his face and called out to Qu: "Why do I look so stupid! During the filming, the reporter kept asking me to be more friendly, laugh, laugh, laugh, why didn't you tell me that I laughed so stupidly."

In contrast, Xie Lingya, the "property owner" who only flashed in the news as a background, seemed much colder.

"Hahahahaha is very good. I want to save the news. At least people won't think that our Taoist temple is cheating money in the future." Xie Lingya laughed so hard that tears almost flowed down. Immortal style.

However, considering that their Taoist temple is open in the city, it is better to be more down-to-earth.

At the same time, Xie Lingya also announced the good news to Qin Limin: "The news has been broadcast. Although you can't be photographed, we all know that you should be an enthusiastic ghost in the city!"

Qin Limin nodded sharply.

……

Because of Zhang Daoting's identity, this news was more memorable than others after it was broadcast, and it really helped them.

One is that, as Xie Lingya thought, everyone’s trust in them has increased invisibly, and they feel that they are of good character. The other is that some young people are surprised that the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are actually young and handsome. when), it is completely different from the imagined image with beard and gray hair!

The latter topic sparked heated discussions on local forums, and some photography enthusiasts took out photos they usually took at Baoyang Temple.

Under his lens, Baoyang Temple appears a bit isolated from the world, more emotional than news videos.

Some people may have heard of Baoyang Temple and their talisman legends before, and even knew that it was near Jingui Pedestrian Street, but they didn't have any specific concepts. This time, they saw relatively complete news screenshots and photos.

Between high-rise buildings and heavy traffic, behind a small, inconspicuous main entrance and courtyard walls, the corners of the main hall's upturned eaves are faintly visible, and moss is hidden between the tiles, full of traces of time.It's like a corner of time and space is split, protruding out of this building, which is out of place with the surroundings.

After entering the door, you can see a circle of bamboo planted around the wall. The bluestone floor is clean and has a sense of the times. In the corner is an ancient eight-diagram-shaped well.There are many wooden tables and chairs in the yard, and most of the people sitting there are elderly people or middle-aged tea drinkers.

Just looking at the front yard, you can't tell that this is a Taoist temple.The quiet atmosphere also makes people who have been to Jingui Pedestrian Street doubtful. Is this actually a pedestrian street?If you don't say it, you really think it's a teahouse in an ancient town.

Further inside, there is another old main hall and two side halls, crowded with seven or eight statues of gods. From the inside to the outside, they are full of antiquity.There are several stone tablets in the backyard, which are badly worn, and there is even a small vegetable field, which makes people mistakenly think that the people here are still living a self-sufficient life.

In a certain photo, a young man in Taoist robes is piously offering incense with his eyes closed. The face of the god is blurred amidst the incense.

——These "evidences" all make people sigh, separated by a wall, like two worlds, many people have passed by it before, but they didn't pay attention to it.

At this time, some tea lovers also said with a little pride: I have known this place for a long time, and I go to carry water to drink every day.Sometimes I sit there and make tea with my friends, look, we are still in that photo.Taoist priests will not rush people, hot water is free, buy melon seeds, bring tea and tea set, I can sit all afternoon.

Careful people also found that there is a nameplate somewhere that shows that this is a historic site certified by the Cultural Bureau.

Unlike some restored tourist attractions, Baoyang Temple gives people a feeling of "alive". Such an old building, and Taoist priests live here and serve gods.Although it is not very famous, it makes people yearn for it.

So all of a sudden, Baoyang Temple welcomed a large number of tourists again, this time not to see mosquitoes, but to see buildings, Taoist priests, and drink tea—of course, after learning about other characteristics of this place, it will be different. said.

Zhang Daoting was busy guiding the believers every day, but after the news got out, he suddenly became a model.

A new batch of tourists come to visit the old Taoist temple, drink the water from the ancient well, and also take pictures to stay in memory. How can they be satisfied with only taking pictures of buildings, it is best to take pictures of Taoist priests.

Zhang Daoting, a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, was the only one in Baoyang Temple, and he suddenly realized that everything he did seemed to be captured by someone.He went to have an incense, followed by a series of shutter sounds.

Some people came to ask Zhang Daoting if he could perform some actions such as holding the door frame and looking up at the sky.

Zhang Daoting: "???"

Xie Lingya's position has been moved to the backyard room, and now there are volunteers to help me sell melon seeds, he doesn't have to work in the front like Zhang Daoting, he laughed out loud.

After laughing, Xie Lingya immediately ordered some water tanks, flower pots and the like.

Zhang Daoting: "Boss, what are you doing! We can't even grow vegetables!"

"Hahahahahaha!" Xie Lingya laughed again, "Zhenxin Madou, I didn't see a lot of little girls here, I'll make more props, and it will be convenient for you to pose for pictures."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Xie Lingya also looked online, and he has already discovered that Baoyang Temple seems to have unintentionally highlighted the characteristics of ancient architecture, and people have begun to come here attracted by it.Believe it or not, when these people come, many of them will also enjoy incense, buy some tea with ancient well water,

Xie Lingya also specially asked the female classmates, and then bought some plants that matched the Taoist style as decorations, and planted lotus in the tank.Their buildings are indeed very old. If you want to add decoration, if you buy some antique ones, the style will look the same at first glance, but in fact it will look very tacky. If you can’t afford real antiques, you might as well buy some flowers and plants.

This is also very in line with the image of an enthusiastic Taoist priest, who loves life so much, grows vegetables and flowers.

The location of Baoyang Temple is really good. Under Xie Lingya's enthusiastic management, the Taoist temple has added a group of regular tourists. They seem to regard this place as a unique place for leisure and drinking tea. Most of them are young people. It is recommended that Taoist temples add several kinds of dried fruit snacks.

Old men and old ladies who are idle, middle-aged uncles who like to drink tea and take pictures, young and lively young girls, and devout believers all share the view of embracing the sun, but it does not appear to be inconsistent at all.

The popularity of Baoyang Temple has steadily increased, but their number one follower, He Zun, hasn't come for a while.

Last time after Xie Lingya predicted that he would fail three subjects, he frantically gnawed at the books full of fear, tutored the three poor subjects, and vowed to change his fate against the sky.After a period of hard work, the level of self-awareness has improved, and there should be no worries about failing the exam, so I passed the test.

After leaving the customs, the first thing He Zun does is... go out to play with his classmates.

After all, he is a young man, and he plans to go out for a while, and then go to Baoyang Temple to have a good time, and ask Mr. Xie to see if he is still in danger of failing.

He Zun and his classmates made an appointment to climb the mountain. The mountain is quite high. They plan to sleep in a hotel in the mountain at night, and then climb a section early in the morning to watch the sunrise.

There were men and women in their party, laughing and making noise all the way, and they hadn't climbed to the expected place by dinner time, so they discussed and decided to continue climbing for a while after dinner.

It got dark early in the mountains, and it should be more than an hour away from the hotel they booked.

Because the female classmate he likes is also there, He Zun is so excited that he is about to fly. He is not tired at all.

"Hey, I won't come, I won't come, just stop for a while." Someone said.

A girl said: "Don't say anything, it's too dark, it's scary."

Although there are street lights, the surrounding woods are dark and steep, and the mountains in the distance are even darker. The girls are inevitably afraid.

"It's okay, I'm here." He Zun straightened his chest, indicating that he could hold it together.

In the next second, because he moved too much, a talisman slipped out and rolled down the steps.

He Zun quickly bent down to pick it up, but the folded paper talisman floated into the nearby valley with a sudden gust of wind.He Zun leaned on the railing and screamed, "My amulet!"

The students looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then everyone witnessed that He Zun, who was still flying like a wave just now, counseled for a second, "Let's go, go up the mountain, go to the hotel, it's not safe when it's dark."

Everyone: "..."

Although they know more or less what happened to He Zun, not everyone is afraid, or not everyone is as weak-tempered as he is, even afraid of walking at night. Everyone laughed and said: "He Zun, you are too cowardly. Well, without the amulet, it becomes a worm?"

"There must be a limit to superstition."

"Hahahaha, I know you are weak, so, you hug Brother Yong."

He Zun hesitated for a moment, and actually ran to the bearded classmate "Brother Yong", "Let's hold hands..."

Brother Yong: "Go away."

He Zun: "..."

He Zun walked away dejectedly, and stood among the classmates, holding his backpack tightly and pinching the Lingguan Jue.

Brother Yong looked at it and said loudly: "He Zun, are you dissatisfied with us, secretly giving middle fingers!"

He Zun: "...Fuck you, this is the Lingguan Jue, do you understand it?"

He Zun didn't dare to walk at the back, so he stayed in the middle and obediently climbed the mountain, urging everyone from time to time.

"I'll go!" He Zun suddenly flicked it, as if he had been electrocuted, and said in embarrassment while covering his lower back, "Who touched my waist?"

He felt that someone had patted his waist from behind just now, and his waist is very sensitive, at this moment he scanned around vigilantly, and found that everyone looked puzzled, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't scare me, it's not fun at all. "

No one paid attention to whether someone really touched He Zun just now, and they all agreed: "Yes, He Zun is so scared, don't scare him."

It's impossible to tell who's expression is wrong at a glance.

He Zun was full of suspicion, he didn't know who was playing the prank, and the strange wind just now always made him feel wrong, so he could only continue walking with his head buried in his head. Fortunately, he could already see the lights of the hotel in the distance, and he felt a little relieved Some.

Also at this time, a female classmate from behind also yelled, rushed to the front, and said in a panic: "Someone touches my butt."

Touching the girl's butt is too much, and it's not the same as what He Zun did just now.

He Zun said with a stern face, "Who was standing behind you just now?"

The girl visibly trembled, "Yes, but I'm the last one..."

In an instant, everyone felt a chill. This girl is usually soft and cute, and she is not the one who makes such jokes.

But if what she said is true, where is the person behind her touching her?

unless……

He Zun raised his fingers holding the Lingguan Jue, "Don't mess with us, I'm covered!"

He wailed in his heart, did he make a mistake, such a bad guy, he could meet good brothers in the scenic spot.

The other students didn't dare to laugh at He Zun anymore, but moved closer to him. After all, he is the only person here who has experience in beating ghosts, and he usually goes to the Taoist temple.

The surroundings were silent, there was no one knowing what was hiding in the dark woods, and there was only the whistling of the wind in the deep valley.

The lights of the hotel in the distance seem to be within reach, but people know in their hearts that it will take some time to reach that position.

Even a strong man like Brother Yong felt his scalp tingle: "Why don't we call the hotel security to pick us up, and find any excuse."

Everyone agreed, Brother Yong took out his mobile phone and dialed, but after a few seconds he said blankly: "Remind me that the number is empty."

"..." Everyone bit the bullet and tried each. The number on the official website was still empty, but they clearly called this number when they made the reservation.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became even weirder.

"I, I want to call my mother..." a girl said, but she didn't dial the number for a long time, as if hesitating.Everyone knew that she was afraid that the dialed number would still be empty.

He Zun clenched his fists, formed the Lingguan Jue, gritted his teeth and dialed a number, thinking about the name of the patriarch in his heart.

Everyone looked at him, wondering where he was calling, the hotel, his parents, or the police?

In the quiet scene, the sound of the mobile phone is particularly loud.

beep...beep...

Five or six seconds later, it was finally no longer the mechanical female voice to announce, but a clear male voice, very relaxed: "Hello, Xiao He?"

He Zun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Mr. Xie, I was climbing in the Boshan Scenic Area and I was about to reach the hotel. The amulet fell off and was blown away by the strange wind, and then I don't know what. Touched my waist and touched my classmate's buttocks. Now the hotel's phone calls suddenly It has become empty—”

There seemed to be a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and the students listened with bated breath.

After a while, the clear voice sounded again: "Dao Ting, get out of the way, I'm going to exorcise ghosts remotely."
