Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya was studying Baoyang's notes, to see if there is any useful method to strengthen the Taoist temple.

Zhang Daoting was also next to him. He wanted Xie Lingya to find out if there was any way to entice people to work in the Taoist temple. It was really hard for him to be a model, and he had no privacy. He even had people come to take pictures of his meals, and he was short of going to the bathroom.

At this moment, He Zun's incoming call was displayed on the screen of the phone, and Xie Lingya heard He Zun's non-breathing confession just as he connected. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and got up, pushing the curious Zhang Daoting away.

There are many ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, not to mention that people with low luck and weak anger like He Zun are more likely to encounter ghosts when they enter the mountains.

Another thing is that He Zun and the others went to Mount Bo, where the mountains are high and the forests are deep, and the scenery is beautiful. But it is said that some people have seen ghost lanterns all over the valley there before, and they were shot by Yin soldiers escorting the souls of the dead.

Fortunately, He Zun has been enshrining Wang Lingguan these days, and he can make phone calls with the Lingguan formula in his hand. Otherwise, even Xie Lingya can't be contacted, and it may be miserable.

"Xiaohe, you just follow what I say now, understand?" Xie Lingya said, they were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, and if they wanted to exorcise ghosts remotely, certain things had to be done by people present.

[Your friend Xie Lingya applied for remote assistance, please choose to accept or reject]

He Zun yelled, "Okay!"

Taoism has many talismans that go into the mountains, which can not only prevent ghosts but also tigers and wolves. If you don’t wear the talisman, or if you lose the talisman like He Zun, then reciting the Liujia secret mantra is a very good choice.

Some people may not know the Liujia Secret Mantra, but many people will understand it when it is called the Nine-Character Mantra.Baopuzi Ge Hong once said: When entering the mountain, you should know the secret mantra of Liujia, which says: facing, fighting, fighting, Zhe, all, forming, arranging, advancing, and walking.All nine characters are often used as secret mantras, and they are omnipotent.

This Liujia secret mantra was spread to Dongpu, and the last four characters were misrepresented as being displayed first.

But it can be called omnipotent by Ge Hong, which shows the power of the Liujia Secret Mantra.It's just that when reciting the Liujia secret mantra, you need to think about it. He Zun has that time, and he has learned the Lingguan mantra.

Listening from the phone, these students were frightened, and the reading may also be weak and have no effect.

"Is any of you wearing a mirror?" Xie Lingya asked.

There were girls present, so they immediately started searching.There are small mirrors that I carry with me, and there are mirrors that come with cosmetics. They are of different sizes, and I found five pieces in total.

"One piece per person, wear it on the back. Missing? Girls are preferred." Xie Lingya told them to fix the mirror on their backs with rubber bands or something like that, so that the mirror can ward off evil spirits.Although not every mirror here is nine inches in size, it's better than nothing.

He Zun turned on the phone and put it on the outside, all the girls untied their hair for a while, and rummaged through the remaining rubber bands from their bags to try to fix the mirror.

"Then, all the boys took off their shirts." Xie Lingya continued.People have innate gossip on their chests, so it goes without saying that gossip is useful. It's not convenient for girls, but boys can still take off their clothes.

Before the girls finished their work, the boys immediately took off their clothes again. The night in the mountains is quite cold, but at this time, I don't care so much.

"He Zun, your luck is low and your anger is not strong enough. If you have a knife, you use it. If you don't, you bite your middle finger." Xie Lingya's words made He Zun want to cry.

The blood of the middle finger has innate pure yang energy. I used up all the long hanging talismans before, so I just bit my middle finger to replace the cinnabar talisman.

He Zun still had Lingguan Jue in one hand, so he had to cut the middle finger of the other hand with a female classmate's eyebrow trimming knife. The blood dripped out, and he tapped the other students a few times, saying: " Don't waste it..."

Everyone: "..."

Zhang Daoting was also listening nearby, he whispered with his ear: "Boss, there are so many tricks here."

Xie Lingya also replied in a low voice: "It's not over yet! How the hell do I know what they encountered? If it's not a ghost or a mountain spirit, it's always right to cast a wide net."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Xie Lingya said before that he was full of confidence, but he didn't mean to pretend (most of them were not). Originally, it was important to be able to stabilize this kind of thing. He was afraid that the students would not have a sense of trust, so he raised his tone to let them feel at ease.

"Next, you put the fingers of your left hand under your nose, in the middle of your nostrils. Turn your phone to your back and go to the hotel. You read what I read. If there is any movement, just pretend that you didn't hear it, and don't stop Also don't look back." The place Xie Lingya asked them to press was called "Shanyuan", as the saying goes, when you press the mountain with your left hand, the ghost well will close the door.

After Xie Lingya asked if they were all ready, he reminded, "Read louder."

"Okay." He Zun and his classmates continued to walk forward anxiously, the voice on the other end of the phone in the dark maintained their sense of security.

The surrounding leaves were rustling by the wind, and there was no star or moon in the sky. This sound inexplicably made people feel a sense of impatience, as if some creature was about to move.

A timid girl was trying to hold back her sobs. An eyeshadow box on her back was opened and tied to the strap of her backpack with a hair rope, revealing the mirror inside, which reflected the long mountain road behind her.

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of all qi...the body has a golden light, reflecting my body..." Xie Lingya's voice came from the phone, with a strange sense of rhythm that made people feel calm.

He read every word very clearly, and everyone unconsciously followed along, and gradually became smoother and louder. Although it didn't seem like Xie Lingya's reading, but as he read it, he developed a sense of courage.

The timid girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, striding up the stairs while reading.

He Zun was walking beside, and while he was chanting, he caught a glimpse of the bushes on the side that seemed to move a little out of the corner of his eye. He didn't dare to stop chanting the mantra, let alone turn around to look carefully. Thinking of what Xie Lingya said, he kept silent and continued on. go forward.

Xixi Suosuo's voice was continuous, like a snake crawling, but after observing, He Zun realized that he might be the only one who heard it. He knocked his teeth nervously up and down a few times, and squeezed his middle finger, but he didn't even bleed The middle finger oozes blood again.

Although he told himself that he couldn't control it, He Zun couldn't help looking behind him from the corner of his eye.

Everyone was chanting mantras while climbing the mountain, and after a while, they gasped a little. The timid girl stepped up a relatively high step, and the eyeshadow palette behind her back shook twice, and closed with a "snap".

When He Zun saw it, he felt extremely nervous, and the girl trembled for a while, and groped with her backhand.

At this time, almost everyone felt a gust of wind blowing from behind, and everyone couldn't help but lose their tone.He Zun raised his hand subconsciously, and put the phone behind the girl.

Although Xie Lingya on the other end of the phone couldn't see it, he seemed to be able to sense it from the tone of everyone's voice. The voice was more concise and sped up, as if it was ringing in people's ears: "Golden light is appearing at the speed of recovery to protect the real person!" !"

In an instant, the girls closed their eyes, and said, "Gold, the speed of light of gold...!"

……

rustle……

The leaves sway gently with the wind, and the moonlight breaks through the clouds and pours down into the world.

In an instant, the shadow that shrouded everyone seemed to dissipate, and the sign of the hotel in front of them also appeared in front of them: 500 meters to arrive.

Needless to say, Xie Lingya, they seemed to feel: It's all right.

The girl flipped the eyeshadow palette away with her backhand in a daze. She was so nervous just now that she couldn't do it well.Her feeling is the clearest.

When the cold wind blew from behind her, her heart almost collapsed, but as the "Teacher Xie" recited the last mantra, she felt a warm current in her body, and she couldn't help but blurt out the words together. Forget about being afraid.

Then, the cold feeling disappeared.

"We've arrived at the hotel, Mr. Xie!" He Zun said excitedly.

"Well," Teacher Xie was very calm, as if he knew very well that their side was safe and sound, "Go quickly."

Then hang up.

He Zun was very excited, "I... Ouch!"

The students nervously said: "What's wrong?"

"Hey, my hand seems to be cramping." He Zun burst into tears, raised his hand holding the Lingguan Jue, and poked the finger wrapped around the middle finger, "It can't be done, it can't be loosened..."

Everyone: "..."

He Zun endured the pain and said, "Whoa, let's go to the hotel first..."

He just kept his fingerprints and ran to the hotel with his classmates.

The security guards and the front desk of the hotel were shocked. In the middle of the night, a few students with disheveled hair came in, sweating profusely. The boys were shirtless. Two of the boys had blood on their faces and hands. Blood, I don't know what happened.

One of them stretched out his hand and waved it, and took a closer look-he even fingered his mother!

……

Xie Lingya hung up the phone and rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Tell me, what exactly did they encounter..."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Zhang Daoting sweated and said, "Boss, you don't even know what it is after driving it away?"

Xie Lingya glanced at him, "I have a little sense, but I don't know if it's correct because of my lack of experience. I suspect it's Shanmei, Fengzi ghost or something like that. Because if it's an ordinary wild ghost, the previous moves should have already been used. It can keep it away, so that it won't wait until the Golden Light Charm takes effect."

When Xie Lingya said that he had little experience, Zhang Daoting sweated even more.

The Golden Light Mantra is one of the eight great divine mantras of Taoism. It protects the body and exorcises evil spirits. It can be said that everyone can recite it, but not everyone has the power to recite it. After all, the person who recites the mantra is equivalent to a carrier that communicates with the world. Different carriers have different effects. .

So those few students don't have to think about it. The boss asked them to recite along with it to scare ghosts and increase courage. It's like playing a recording of chanting, which is better than nothing.If a person's arrogance is high, even if he has no cultivation, ghosts will naturally escape.What you want to meet is a ghost, and you can't run away just by being scared.

Zhang Daoting has already admired Zhang Daoting for being able to curse ghosts from a long distance, not to mention he still has "little experience".This difficulty is much higher than reciting the incantation in person. He originally thought that Xie Lingya would teach the students the incantation to pray for the blessing of the local mountain god.

Of course, if Zhang Daoting asked this question, Xie Lingya would tell him: I haven't learned it before, it's too urgent and it seems too late to learn it now.

He Zun came back the next day and led his classmates to Baoyang Temple.

His classmates blushed when they saw Xie Lingya, including boys.The main reason is that they have never been willing to come here with He Zun before, nor have they ever drank tea, so they were in a daze last night.I was a little embarrassed after coming here today, and I was also very surprised to see Xie Lingya himself.

Hearing Xie Lingya's voice last night made people very comfortable and left a very deep impression. Now seeing Xie Lingya's real body, he is so young, it is inevitable that his heart will be full of excitement.

Xie Lingya had already prepared green wood incense and other things to boil water, and when they came, they were asked to use this water to wipe their bodies away, after all, they bumped into a vagina yesterday.

Several students had dark circles on their faces. They didn't dare to sleep in the hotel last night, and they didn't dare to take off their mirrors.

"The security guard almost called the police yesterday, thinking we were robbed." He Zun said gloomily.

Another classmate said quietly: "I almost wanted to hit you, but you gave him the middle finger for 10 minutes."

He Zun: "...I don't have cramp!"

Xie Lingya heard him say that the knot in the official knot was so tight that his hands were cramped and he couldn't let it go, he almost laughed so arrogantly that he lost his demeanor.

He Zun said depressedly: "Isn't it thanks to my Lingguan Jue, otherwise the phone would not be able to get through. Teacher Xie, when we went to the hotel later, the front desk said that their phone number had not changed, and they did not receive our call in the middle. We were on the spot By the way, I found that the phone was connected again."

Xie Lingya had already thought about it, and said with a smile: "Take it as more practice, you still have to be careful, especially at night. Otherwise, if that guy is stronger this time, what if he can't even make calls?"

As soon as He Zun imagined it, the hairs stood on end, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

These students took turns to wipe their bodies with green wood perfume in the room, and they didn't know if it was a psychological effect when they came out, feeling refreshed.

He Zun took them to burn incense to the patriarch, and then drank tea in the front yard.Xie Lingya told him to wait before preparing an amulet for him.

After He Zun's classmates sat down, they were more relaxed than before, and discussed:

"I didn't expect this place to be quite beautiful, with a very old-fashioned atmosphere, and many people came to take pictures."

"I think the last thing I expected was Teacher Xie...!"

"I'll go, that's right, He Zun, you said that Mr. Xie is so handsome, we have come to see it!"

The female classmate also blamed He Zun.

He Zun: "...do you think I don't want to? Last time I told the girls in our class that Mr. Xie and the Taoist here are both handsome, so they just said I'm gay!"

Everyone: "..."

At this time Xie Lingya also came out, holding a few newly drawn talismans in his hand, folded them and put them in the rubber case.This rubber case is new, and now it is not so poor, and the packaging of the talisman has also been added.

"Don't lose it this time, take two spares." Xie Lingya gave He Zun an extra one.

He Zun hurriedly said, "It's so touching, Mr. Xie."

He Zun's fortune this year is really low to a certain extent. Hell again and again, he carefully put away the talisman, and complained to himself: "If I lose this again, I will not go to the provincial capital in the future. I will sell the house and buy it here." It’s nearby, so it’s convenient for Mr. Xie to cover me.”

Xie Lingya raised his eyes and looked at him, "Then you might as well donate a golden body to the patriarch, so that you will not be afraid to travel all over the world."

He Zun: "..."

His classmates also laughed, "That's right, donate the golden body!"

He Zun vowed: "Wait for me to work in the future and make a lot of money. Teacher Xie, you wait."

Xie Lingya murmured in his heart that he might not be able to earn faster than myself.

……

After a week or so, He Zun came to Baoyang Temple again, not because he got rich, but because he neglected one thing.

"Both of our hands hurt!" He Zun held up his hands with a mournful face, "One middle finger was broken, and the other was cramp and sore for a long time after turning his head. I was too excited that day, so I was so busy asking for amulets that I forgot to ask Teacher Xie to help me again." have a look."

Everyone in Baoyang Temple stared at him, "And then?"

He Zun sat on the stool with his legs crossed, and he said in a nonchalant way: "I have a few elective courses that are over in the middle of the semester. I thought I would ask my classmates to help me in this week's exam, but the invigilator suddenly became very strict for no reason. I haven't finished my paper yet..."

Everyone: "..."

He Zun hugged the table and howled: "I reviewed it, I reviewed it! Otherwise, how dare I go out and mess around!"

As a result, the wave overcame and the car overturned.

"Actually, I wanted to ask for leave with the teacher to postpone it and take the exam alone later. But the teacher didn't believe that my hands were cramped and sore, and suspected that my hands hurt from playing games, and said that it would be the same if I failed the make-up exam next semester." He Zun's eyes were dead. "Teacher Xie, did you agree that man will conquer heaven?"

Everyone looked at He Zun with pity, and Xie Lingya said softly: "You see, you have to be more sincere in life. Why does the teacher suspect that you are good at playing games? And the results haven't come out yet, don't you just have two unfinished papers?" , Maybe you only failed two subjects, and you can save one?"

He Zun: "..."

Hai Guanchao said thoughtfully: "This is fate."

At the beginning, He Zun knew that he would fail the exam, so he worked hard to study hard, and then went out to relax when he felt that he had finished his review. As a result, his hands cramped when he relaxed, which made him fail in the exam.This kind of thing is really impossible to say.

Taoist temples and clinics have no rest days, and even the rest days are busier than usual.

On the weekend, Zhang Daoting was receiving believers, Hai Guanchao was also in the clinic, Xie Lingya was going to go out to buy fragrant flowers and fruits for offering to each statue, so he kindly invited Shi Changxuan to go with him.

Shi Changxuan accompanied Xie Lingya out without saying a word.

The two walked to the market a few streets away to buy incense and flowers, and the fruit could be bought in the market behind.When I came back, I passed a park where many old people were exercising.

There were also several fortune-tellers and fortune-tellers setting up street stalls on the side of the road, and all of them were dressed more like Shi Changxuan, a serious Taoist priest.

Xie Lingya also looked at it curiously, one of the fortune tellers might feel that there is a business to do, and raised his voice: "Little brother, don't you come to calculate what you are asking for?"

Xie Lingya looked to the side, "Me?"

The fortune teller nodded, "Of course it's you, you know it in your heart."

What do I know, but you don't know that one of us works in a Taoist temple and the other is a house missionary.But Xie Lingya still took two steps forward, knelt down and said, "You just said that I have something to ask for?"

Shi Changxuan stood by the side, watching indifferently.

The fortune teller sized Xie Lingya's eyes and smiled, "If I'm not wrong, what you're asking for is related to someone."

Xie Lingya quietly glanced at Shi Changxuan, "Yes, that's right."

There are also many strange people among the people. It doesn't mean that setting up a street stall means they must be incompetent. Of course, Xie Lingya nodded not because he believed it immediately, but because he became interested in listening to it.

The fortune teller pulled out two benches from behind, "Hehe, sit down and listen, both of you."

Xie Lingya sat down generously, and found that Shi Changxuan hadn't moved, turned his head to look, "Shi Dao...ah, Changxuan, you sit too."

Shi Changxuan: "..."

After a while, he sat down with some difficulty.

Xie Lingya looked down at the Liuren plate on the fortune-teller's stall, and said with a smile, "Sir, do you count Liuren? Then teach me a lesson?"

Seeing his familiarity, the fortune teller seemed to know a little bit about Liuren, rolled his eyes, and said, "Why use the Liuren plate, to get a Shennong hexagram for you."

Shennong hexagram?He had never heard of this before, Xie Lingya looked at him curiously.

The fortune teller took out a bamboo tube and a small bag of rice from the box on the side, and then used the bamboo tube to repeatedly measure and count the meters.

Xie Lingya looked at it for a while but didn't see the way, so he looked at Shi Changxuan.

Shi Changxuan was originally staring at the distance, but Xie Lingya looked away, "...Mr. is from the southwest?"

The fortune teller froze, raised his head and said, "How do you know? I don't have an accent, do I?" Not only does he not have a southwest accent, but he has a Fuyang accent after staying in Fuyang for so long.

Shi Changxuan stared at the rice in his hand, and calmly said: "Diameter Gua..."

The fortune teller immediately knew that he had met a knowledgeable person. There are so many fortune-telling methods, such as Qimen Dunjia, Liuren, and Ziwei Doushu, which are only familiar to ordinary people.

There are more folk divination methods, from ancient oracle bone divination, to cups commonly used in Taoist temples, astrology, dream divination, word measurement, divination by asking gods to possess one's body, divination by human physiological phenomena, divination by natural climate... too many up.

And a place also has its own characteristics. Shi Changxuan could tell his origin from the fortune teller's divination technique. Either he himself came from the southwest, or he also learned this skill from the people of the southwest.

"I'm sorry." The fortune teller said repeatedly, he didn't think that this person just happened to know and only knew the origin of Da Mi Gua.

Shi Changxuan shook his head, it doesn't matter.

Xie Lingya asked: "Can you still take it, sir?"

The fortune teller blushed: "Don't dare."

He knew how much money he had, and talking to and asking Xie Lingya were all clichés, and Xie Lingya could answer whatever he answered, and in all likelihood, Xie Lingya felt that what he said made sense.But if you want to cheat money in front of experts, it's a bit against the rules.

Xie Lingya was a little disappointed, it seems that people with real skills are not everywhere.

The two got up, nodded with the fortune teller and left. On the way, Xie Lingya asked Shi Changxuan, "Do you know Liuren, Daoist Shi?"

Shi Changxuan shook his head, "I take things as my own."

This is mysterious. Many Taoist priests are good at divination. Mountain doctors are good at divination, but they are not necessarily proficient in it.However, divination of things is a big category, which is to use the situation of things to divination, including thousands of things, birds singing in fear, tigers and wolves coming out of cages, and withered grass resurrecting, all of which can be used for divination.

When Shi Changxuan said this, it didn't mean that he knew one of them, but it sounded more like he could know every plant and tree at his fingertips.

Xie Lingya asked: "Then look at this willow tree, can you get an image?"

Shi Changxuan glanced at the willow tree next to it. It was planted in the park, and there was a whole row by the side of the road. He looked at it for a while, and said casually: "Changliu Xiangxi, I have a good thing going into the mountain tonight."

It's that simple?How can you hear anything!

Xie Lingya immediately said: "Then for verification, I will accompany you into the mountains tonight, but I have to ask first what is considered a good thing. It is not a good thing if you pick up five dollars by the side of the road!"

"..." Shi Changxuan was speechless.
