Part-Time Taoist Priest

"What did you eat before the onset?" Hai Guanchao asked the patient sitting in front of him.

The patient's face was blue and yellow, his limbs were not fat, but his lower abdomen was bulging, like a five- to six-month-old pregnant woman. When the palms were stroked on it, it could be seen that the inside was not soft.He was also weak when he spoke, and recalled everything he had eaten at this time.

Because of this disease, he has been in various hospitals for two months, and sometimes he has improved, but he just cannot recover.I don't know how many times I have said what I have eaten.

Seeing the patient's depression, Hai Guanchao said calmly: "There are only parasites in the stomach, I have a prescription for the symptoms, just give you a few doses."

"Really?!" Since this patient sought medical treatment, he had heard of a diagnosis of parasites in his stomach, but it was the first time that Hai Guanchao said with certainty that it could be cured, and that there was a prescription for it.For a moment, the willows were dark and the flowers were bright, and he was delighted, but he was afraid that it was not true.

In fact, this person was introduced by a friend, and with the mentality of giving it a try, the mood at this time was not to mention how complicated.

"Well, but then you may have vomiting and diarrhea, and expel parasites, you have to be mentally prepared." Hai Guanchao said.

The patient was pleasantly surprised, and he was so satisfied when he heard that it could be cured, no matter what he was vomiting and diarrhea, he nodded immediately.

"It's fine to vomit, but it's too disgusting to vomit." Xie Lingya, who was sitting on the side, asked.

Hai Guanchao took the medicine to the patient and sent him away, only then did he have time to talk to Xie Lingya, he shook his head, "Actually, he can only vomit up, not down, I lied to him, I was afraid that he would vomit out at the beginning, He's too scared."

Xie Lingya: "..."

That is to say, the parasite must be spit out from the mouth?too disgusting!

Hai Guanchao explained: "This is called dragon-biting disease. Ancient doctors believed that dragons roamed around the world, and dragon spirits were sprinkled on the dishes. When people ate this dish, little dragons would be born in their stomachs. The little dragons made trouble in the stomach. Cold food glutinous rice induces vomiting. In fact, it is a parasite that could not be identified at the time."

People eat food, but if they don't handle it well, they will get sick if they are unlucky enough to have parasites on them.There are many kinds of parasites, especially in some remote areas and waters. Sometimes the hospital cannot diagnose and treat them, and they will not recover by themselves.It doesn't matter if it grows in the stomach, but if it grows in the brain, it will be miserable, and the skull will have to be cut.

Xie Lingya listened and said, "What did the dragon do on the vegetable field? It can still produce semen. There are other animals or it is the only one..."

Hai Guanchao: "..."

Hai Guanchao: "Mr. Xie, be a serious person, this is just a story."

Xie Lingya said honestly, "Oh."

Hai Guanchao said again: "I'm going to sell the front door next to it, and there are not enough people now. I am alone, and I want to hire another person to decoct the medicine. Now patients are asked to decoct by themselves, or go to other stores. But Sometimes I don’t worry, decoction is related to the curative effect.”

"Yeah, that's the truth." Xie Lingya nodded.

To say that Hai Guanchao is worthy of being the person who once provoked his colleagues to exclude him from his hometown. In just a few months in Fuyang, the business of the clinic is booming.He cured a lot of intractable diseases like the one just now, and now he seems to be a little famous, it's all word of mouth, and many people come here admiringly.

No, it's all about expanding.

"Then let me put up a recruitment notice for you, mainly to help you, right? Don't you need to be a doctor?" Xie Lingya asked.

"My colleagues and I have never gotten along." Hai Guanchao said flatly.

It is true.It is a family medicine, and it also contains a lot of content that may be a bit controversial now, such as Tai Sumai.So compared to someone who knows a lot, he would rather hire someone who doesn't know anything. Anyway, what he does is not technical work, and he has his own way. If he knows a lot, he has to re-teach him.

……

In the evening, Xie Lingya used the computer to help Hai Guanchao post the recruitment online.Don't think that Hai Guanchao is not much older than him, but probably because he spends most of his time on medical skills, he doesn't know much about the Internet.

At this time, the phone rang, Xie Lingya saw the caller, and immediately took the phone to the room to answer it, "Hello?"

A gentle female voice came from the other end: "Ling Ya, your father fell and broke his leg. He just came to the hospital. He told me not to call you. I think I should tell you."

"Broken? Please tell me the ward, and I'll go there now." Xie Lingya said.

"You'd better come tomorrow, it's so late."

"It's okay, there's still a car." Xie Lingya hung up after saying a few words.

It was his father's second wife, Song Jing, who called. The two were colleagues at the same school.They were together when Xie Lingya was in high school. At that time, Xie Lingya had a quarrel and studied hard because of it. Originally, he was determined to take the exam to another place.But after that time, and seeing that his uncle's attitude was all in favor, he figured it out, but the relationship with Song Jing has always been weak.

"My dad is broken, I'll go down and have a look." Xie Lingya greeted everyone and hurried out.Father Xie works as a middle school teacher in a town in a county-level city in Fuyang City, and they are used to calling him there.

Now the Taoist temple doesn't need him to stay all the time, everyone just cares for a while and tells him to go quickly, because he won't be able to catch up with the car later.

The last bus to the town leaves at 09:30. If you miss it, you can only take a taxi. Fortunately, Xie Lingya caught up.When he got into the car, he saw that the car was half full, so he found a seat a little further back and sat down.

When the car was about to leave, another person came up. Xie Lingya was looking at his phone, but when the person passed by, he staggered, and he subconsciously reached out to support him, "Are you all right?"

Only then did he see clearly that this person had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and one of his legs was lame.He glanced at it and quickly looked away, "Sit here?"

The man smiled at Xie Lingya and sat down, "Thank you."

When he smiled, Xie Lingya always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember why, because he was concerned about his father's situation and didn't go into it.

Song Jing sent a text message and told him Father Xie's ward number. By the way, Father Xie fell because he went out to change the light bulb in the corridor at night. He accidentally stepped on the air and fell down. Let him not ask the reason later, Father Xie Very sorry.

Xie Lingya's father wanted to save face. He leaned against the car window to take a nap, but there were always children laughing in the car, so he couldn't rest, so he had to keep looking at his phone.

There was a section of the road between Fuyang and the town that was broken and bumpy. Xie Lingya only felt the car jolt, and then a child who was playing around fell on the side aisle. When he stood up, he saw a gap in his mouth, blood Long flow, tears also flowed down.

The person next to Xie Lingya quickly helped the child up, "Whose child is this, it's bleeding!"

No one answered for a while, and the other passengers were indifferent.

The child wailed loudly, and the more he cried, the more painful his mouth became.The man quickly picked him up and wiped him with a tissue, but the cut was too big to help, and the bleeding couldn't be stopped for a while.

Xie Lingya saw that he didn't care so much, so he quickly recited the hemostatic mantra: "Clear the blood, don't bleed out, don't let the turbid blood spread..."

Almost at the same time, the person next to him also said: "The internal blood does not come out, and the external blood does not flow..."

The conversation stopped at the same time, and the two looked at each other strangely.

Although the content is different, the meaning seems to be to stop the bleeding. Could it be that I met a colleague?

Fortunately, it was just a trivial matter encountered on the road, Xie Lingya quickly raised his hand, "Please."

"..." The man was a little inexplicably embarrassed, but he still drew a few lines on the child's wound while reciting a mantra in a low voice, "There is no bleeding inside, no bleeding outside, I am worried when people see me, and I am worried when ghosts see me. Seeing me makes me very sad. Laojun sits at the entrance of the cave, and dare not shed blood..."

Curse it, stomp the ground, and the child's lips will stop bleeding immediately.

The child stopped crying, and he felt that his mouth was no longer dripping with blood, and he heard the man in front of him chanting a mantra in a low voice, just like in a cartoon, and stared at him blankly for a while.

Only then did his parents run from the front, rubbing their eyes, as if they had just woken up, "What's wrong!"

The child looked at the parents, came back to his senses, and said loudly: "Father, these two elder brothers are gods."

He heard and saw it all, who were these two gods condescending to chant the mantra before!

Xie Lingya looked calm, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, the parents didn't take the child's words seriously, and just reached out to hug him.

"The car bumped just now, and the child fell to the ground." The man handed the child to the parents, and said, "It's better not to let the child run around in the car, it's very dangerous."

"Thank you, thank you." The parent took the child and scolded him in a low voice.

The child walked back in the arms of the parents, and stared back at the two "fairies" with wide eyes.

The man looked away helplessly, met Xie Lingya's eyes again, and smiled dryly.

"Hey... are you Fang Zhe?" Xie Lingya said suddenly.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at Xie Lingya's face and recognized it, "You...you are Xie Lingya?"

"It's really you, I'll say it looks familiar." Xie Lingya also just saw him reciting the Hemostatic Curse and the familiarity when he smiled, and he suddenly remembered it.

When Xie Lingya was playing with his uncle when he was young, he saw a child brought by a friend of his uncle, namely Fang Zhe.

The two of them played together a few times when they were young, but then everyone went to school, and Xie Lingya went to his uncle less frequently.At that time, the communication was not as developed as it is now, and Fang Zhe didn't live in the urban area, so we gradually stopped seeing each other.

As for Fang Zhe's elders, in Xie Lingya's impression, although they don't wear Taoist robes, they seem to be engaged in those weird things, and they should be regarded as half colleagues with his uncle.At that time, Fang Zhe was as interested in these things as Xie Lingya, and they often peeked together.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years." Fang Zhe sighed, "Is your uncle okay?"

Xie Lingya said sadly, "My uncle has passed away."

Fang Zhe opened his mouth, with a bitter expression on his face, and said in the same low voice, "...my uncle also passed away a few years ago."

The two elders were not alive, and they were silent for a while.Since he was a childhood friend, Xie Lingya didn't hold back so much, and asked cautiously, "Fang Zhe, what's wrong with your leg?"

Fang Zhe was able to jump and jump when he was a child, but there was nothing wrong with his legs. He wondered if there was an accident, a car accident, or he fell like his father.

Fang Zhe's expression was a bit weird, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated. He said, "After my uncle passed away, I learned "Book of Luban" by myself."

Xie Lingya's complexion suddenly changed. He no longer remembers the occupation of Fang Zhe's elder, that is, his uncle. But when Fang Zhe mentioned "Book of Luban", he understood that Fang Zhe's uncle was from the "Book of Luban". The descendant of Luban Book.

Also after the elders passed away, Xie Lingya and Fang Zhe had completely different fates when they stepped into their line of business.The point is that Fang Zhe's uncle is the descendant of "Book of Lu Ban". It is said that this book was written by Lu Ban, but it not only covers carpentry, but also has a lot of miscellaneous skills, and it is also somewhat related to Taoism.

This book contains construction, mechanism, spells, talismans, spells, etc. It has been widely circulated, and the hemostatic charm that Fang Zhe recited just now is also from it.

But the most important part of it, that is, the method of practicing spells, is handed down from person to person, and outsiders don't know the tricks just by reading the words.

More importantly, anyone who practices "Book of Luban" will be "missing one", that is, widowed, widowed, lonely, lonely, and disabled.Fang Zhe's uncle never married a wife in his whole life.

Fang Zhe's parents divorced, his mother remarried, and his father worked in other places all year round, and remarried, so Fang Zhe has been following his uncle.Uncle didn't want Fang Zhe to study "Book of Luban" with him, but he was worried that he would be the same as himself.Uncle has no heirs either, but he would rather this book be lost than let Fang Zhe learn it.

But Fang Zhe thought at that time, what is the difference between him and an orphan in his current situation, maybe he will be fine after learning.Therefore, Fang Zhe usually pays close attention to peeking at his uncle's tricks. After his uncle passed away, Fang Zhe officially began to practice "Book of Luban" by himself.

Who knew that it was fate, that Fang Zhe fell into the category of "disabled", and two years ago he was involved in a car accident and became limping.

Xie Lingya felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what happened to his childhood partner, "You really shouldn't be practicing this."

Fang Zhe shook his head, "I regretted it before, and then I asked myself, if I were given another chance, would I be able to resist the temptation to learn "Book of Luban"? I think I will learn it anyway, after all, I have been thinking about it for so long. "

Everyone has their own ideas, and Xie Lingya couldn't say anything after hearing the words, "Then how is your life now?"

"The Township Disabled Persons' Federation also got some help, allowing me to start my own business, but after all, I am not that capable. I used the money to open a store and grow fruits, but nothing happened. Now I work everywhere, and I don't have a stable job. After all... No, I just lost my job again, I will go back and stay for a while, and then look for a job after the Chinese New Year."

Xie Lingya also understood what Fang Zhe had said. Seeing Xie Lingya's expression, he smiled and said, "It's nothing. When I'm free, I even draw a talisman to show people a house. It's just that there are fewer and fewer people who pay attention to these things. What about you, how are you doing now?"

Xie Lingya briefly talked about his current situation, and then said: "Come and have a look at our place, I have a friend who is a very good doctor, maybe it can help you recover somewhat."

Fang Zhe nodded dispensably, not hoping for it, but it was okay to catch up with Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya: "By the way, do you want to be a Taoist priest..."

"Don't, don't, don't ask me to be a Taoist priest." Fang Zhe looked terrified, "Your expression says, it's better to be a Taoist priest for you than to work. Forget it, even a live-in Taoist priest has many rules. What's more, I don't have that comprehension at all."

Xie Lingya said awkwardly: "It's not possible, you can learn "Lu Ban Shu" well."

At this time, the bus was about to arrive, and the two exchanged contact information, and made an appointment to see Fang Zhe in two days.

Xie Lingya is actually still thinking about it. There are also miscellaneous talismans in Fang Zhe's "Book of Luban". Now Baoyang Temple's talisman business is quite stable, but he is the only one who offers talismans. If possible, I can ask Fang Zhe if he wants it. Come to draw a talisman, which also increases Fang Zhe's income, killing two birds with one stone.

Xie Lingya said goodbye to Fang Zhe and stopped at the hospital.

……

After Xie Lingya entered the ward, Xie's father already had a plaster cast on his leg. Seeing him coming, he asked Song Jing angrily, "Why did you tell the child?"

Song Jing smiled and said nothing.

"There's nothing you can't tell." Xie Lingya and Song Jing nodded, and sat down, "I came in a hurry, so I didn't buy anything. What did your leg doctor say? You can't go to class, right?"

Father Xie sighed, and talked to Xie Lingya, and his spirit seemed to be fine, which reassured Xie Lingya a lot.

After a while, the nurse came to urge the patient to rest early, Xie Lingya said to Song Jing: "I'll take you down, I'll stay here tonight, so that Dad won't be inconvenient."

Song Jing wanted to say that she was here to guard, but Xie Lingya was firm, and she was too embarrassed to argue with Xie Lingya, as the two were not close to each other.

Xie Lingya sent Song Jing out of the hospital, even in a small place, he didn't have to go home.Just looking at Song Jing, Xie Lingya always felt that something was different.Since he learned Taoism, he has become more sensitive to the face and breath of people, and it seems that Song Jing has more vitality.

The two went downstairs in silence, Xie Lingya was thinking, when they reached the door, Song Jing wanted to say goodbye, but he followed, "I'll take you home."

Song Jing was taken aback for a moment, wondering why he had changed his mind again, thinking that he had something to say to herself, so she walked back anxiously.But all the way to the door, Xie Lingya didn't say anything.

Song Jing was about to enter, when Xie Lingya said: "... Aunt Song, come to the hospital tomorrow and have an examination as well."

"I'm fine. Your dad fell, but I didn't." Song Jing said inexplicably.

"It's okay to have a physical examination." Xie Lingya insisted.Fortunately, Song Jing didn't fall. He suspected that Song Jing was pregnant, so he became angry, but he couldn't be 100% sure.

The stepson seldom asked for anything, Song Jing only pushed a few words before agreeing dryly.

Xie Lingya took care of Xie's father all night, but it was actually nothing, Xie's father had a cast on his leg and helped him go to the toilet.Song Jing came to the hospital the next morning and brought them breakfast.

Song Jing thought of what Xie Lingya said, "Then... I'm going?"

"Go." Xie Lingya said.

After Song Jing left, Father Xie said, "What did you ask Auntie to do?"

He found it strange that when Xie Lingya and Song Jing met, they only had basic exchanges.

Xie Lingya smiled and said nothing.

About an hour later, Song Jing came back with a bewildered expression and a list in her hand.

Xie Lingya was just finishing pouring water for Father Xie, "What's wrong?"

Song Jing raised her hand and said blankly, "...pregnant."

Caught off guard by the news, the water in Father Xie's cup was poured onto the quilt, and he choked several times, "Ahem, what?"

Although the two of them did not intentionally do any contraception, they did not want to have children these years. Song Jing was younger than him, at 37 or [-], and did not expect to be pregnant at this age.

Father Xie was surprised and delighted, and asked Song Jing to come to her side, took her hand, and asked if the test result was healthy, and if the doctor gave any advice, after all, at this age, she is already an old woman who wants to have a child.

"It's nothing..." Song Jing said, she turned to look at Xie Lingya, she was more shocked than Father Xie.

The child was only about one month old, and she didn't even notice it, but Xie Lingya asked her to have an examination. Could it be that she was pregnant?Otherwise, it would be really hard to explain why Xie Lingya had a weak relationship with her, so why would he suddenly ask her to have a medical examination.

But how did Xie Lingya find out that she was pregnant?Didn't this kid study finance?Song Jing was so dazed that she didn't know what to say.

But Xie's father thought she was caring about Xie Lingya's mood, and was a little embarrassed for a while, so he let go of her hand.

Xie Lingya smiled indifferently, "I'll ask the nurse, I'll hire you a nurse, it's not easy for Auntie Song to stay with me in bed again."

Father Xie heaved a sigh of relief, he understood Xie Lingya, since Xie Lingya said so, it should be nothing.

Xie Lingya stayed with Father Xie in the hospital for another day, waited for the nurse to arrive before leaving, and made an appointment to see him again next weekend.

Song Jing never found a chance to ask Xie Lingya, and only after he left did she nervously mention this matter to Father Xie.

Father Xie also vaguely thought about it. Before Song Jing did the examination, she greeted Xie Lingya inexplicably.He has long known about Wang Yuji's miraculous features, including Xie Lingya who used to jump off the wall to drive out ghosts at other people's homes, but he has never made it public, and even Song Jing didn't know about it.

Did he also learn this trick from his uncle now?Father Xie thought for a while, although Xie Lingya promised, but now he is suddenly a little afraid that Xie Lingya will become a monk!

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingya knew that his father was worrying about gains and losses again, fearing that he would become a Taoist priest, so he returned to Baoyang Temple and told everyone who cared about him very calmly that his father had a broken bone, the condition was not serious, but he was about to grow old.

Another day later, Fang Zhe came as promised, and Xie Lingya and him were chatting about old times in the old house, and recalled all kinds of childhood.

This is where Xie Lingya also led Fang Zhe to Hai Guanchao and asked Hai Guanchao to show him.

On the way, Zhang Daoting asked Xie Lingya to go out, and when Xie Lingya returned to the clinic, he heard Hai Guanchao say, "Remove that recruitment notice, I've decided to hire Xiaofang."

Xie Lingya: "???"

The person who asked you to treat the illness, the two of them actually started talking about work.

Fang Zhe also smiled at Xie Lingya, "Dr. Hai and I had a very happy chat. He said that he was recruiting people here, and I was looking for a job. We hit it off right away."

Hai Guanchao is very satisfied with Fang Zhe. His disability does not affect his help in organizing medicine cabinets, decocting medicines and so on.

What moved Hai Guanchao the most was that Fang Zhe was the successor of "Book of Luban", which also involved some healing spells.That is to say, Fang Zhe knows a little bit of medicine and can help, but he will not conflict with him like some colleagues.

Xie Lingya couldn't laugh or cry, let them say this, this job seems to be really suitable for Fang Zhe.

Hai Guanchao even made up his mind that if Fang Zhe came to work in Fuyang, he could share a room with him, and he didn't mind anyway.Otherwise, the clinic will expand in size in the future, and it can also come out of a small room.

The two of them didn't mind anymore, and Xie Lingya didn't mind either. He said to Fang Zhe, "How to put it... I wanted you to draw a talisman for me, but I was abducted by Brother Hai first."

"Do you still need to draw symbols here?" Fang Zhe was quite interested, "I haven't drawn them for a long time, and no one needs them."

Hai Guanchao joked, "You can work two jobs."

……

So Fang Zhe transformed himself and became the No.2 member of Taisu Clinic. He also lives in Baoyang Temple, and like Hai Guanchao, he can also be counted as a non-staff member here.

Anyway, that's what Xie Lingya said when he introduced it to others.

Shi Changxuan heard that Fang Zhe was the heir of "Book of Luban", thoughtful, "My father once met a man in other provinces in his early years, who was proficient in Luban art, especially good at tricks. His research advocated the combination of tricks and spells." , realize the automation of exorcising ghosts as soon as possible."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya: "...This senior really has ideals. But I'm good at elementary school. I talked to him before, and besides asking him to produce some miscellaneous talismans to sell in the temple, he also promised to help me build something. .”

Shi Changxuan asked curiously, "Where is it used in the observation?"

At this moment, Shang Lushen whispered in his ear, "Xie Lingya is fine!!"

Shi Changxuan suddenly had a bad feeling, "..."

"No." Sure enough, Xie Lingya put his hand on his shoulder and touched Shang Lushen, and said solemnly, "I told him to use willow wood to make such a small bed for Shang Lushen to sleep in. I will put it on your window sill later, so it will be convenient for you at night. Absorb the essence of the sun and the moon."

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Shi Changxuan was about to pinch the crying Shang Lushen down, when the phone rang suddenly, he picked up the phone and listened for a while, his face became a little dignified.

Seeing something wrong, Xie Lingya asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Changxuan said in a deep voice: "Yangping Zhidu's merit seal has been stolen."

Earlier, Shi Changxuan had told Xie Lingya about the origin of Yangping's seal of ruling the capital. This is one of the three treasures left by Tianshi Zhang, and it is also the seal used by Zhang Tianshi himself. It is hidden in the Provincial Museum.

Xie Lingya was shocked, "Can it be stolen in a museum? No, who is so bold that he is not afraid of being cursed by a Taoist priest all over the world?"
