Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya was very unhappy, he felt that he had been slapped in the face.I just talked to Xiaoliang, let him see how hard life is for a real Taoist priest, Zhang Daoting came out here brilliantly, I don’t know why I thought he was some kind of celebrity model, so many people followed me.

Especially since the kid Xiaoliang is so careless, he didn't misunderstand it at first glance.

Xie Lingya thought about it, and quickly broke back: "There are many tests for becoming a monk. For example, if he is good-looking, he will have many temptations. If he can't hold it, he will be a model with others. If he is physically fit, they may ask you to practice. In sports, you get more money than being a Taoist priest. But, like our Daoist Zhang, he still maintains his Taoism!"

Xiao Liang made sense after thinking about it, and nodded repeatedly, "I definitely won't, I won't do anything else!"

It's dangerous.Xie Lingya hurriedly led him back and asked him to take a good look at the Taoist house, "Did you see that our accommodation conditions are also very average, and you have to share a room with others here."

"It's already very good. When I'm at home, I share a bed with my two younger brothers." Xiaoliang said pleasantly.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya was about to say that we still have to cultivate the land, but when he saw the small vegetable field, there were tourists watching it, making it look like some rare plant, so he had to give up.

All the luggage in a small amount is only one bag. When he was apprenticed to Master Zhao, he gave all the money he had on him to Master Zhao. As an apprentice, Master Zhao will not share the reward with him in the future, just eat and control live.

Xie Lingya asked, Xiaoliang is from other provinces, he came out to make a living after graduating from high school, and he is only less than 20 years old now.

Xiaoliang has been interested in this since he was a child. When he was a child, he searched for some books to read, but they were all nonsense like "30 days teach you to get out of your body", "three years of enlightenment and five years of bigu" Book.

Later, he also found several so-called capable people one after another in the countryside, but the facts proved that their skills were mediocre - he didn't realize that they were liars, and Xie Lingya's face turned black when he heard it.

Later, Xiaoliang learned to surf the Internet again. He thought it was because his hometown was not a good place to practice Taoism, so after he failed the college entrance examination, his family originally sent him to a technical school.

But maybe the things I came into contact with at the beginning were crooked, and I was a little stunned. I didn't learn serious spells, and instead came into contact with charlatans.After all, these people are better at bragging than true Taoists.

That is to say, after seeing Xie Lingya, Xiaoliang really met a capable one.

Xiaoliang asked Xie Lingya: "By the way, Teacher Xie, I only study at this age, is it too late?"

The teachers he met before told him that he was too old to learn magic from an early age, and then reluctantly accepted him.

Xie Lingya shook his head, "The most important thing is not time, but your own heart."

In fact, Taoists believe that [-] or [-] is the best age for practicing Taoism, that is, the "last year". At this time, both mind and body are in the best state.

Of course, this is not certain. For example, Shi Changxuan must have been in contact with it since he was a child, and it was passed down in his family.Patriarch Sa Shoujian even studied medicine first, and then found that studying medicine could not save the Chinese people... No, it was because the medical skills were not good enough to cure patients, so he abandoned medicine and followed the path.

Everyone has their own opportunities and strengths. Sazu could not save people by studying medicine, but he saved many people by using mantras to learn Taoism.

"Actually, even if you really want to become a Taoist now, you don't want to become a monk immediately. You have to study and test for at least three years before you can pass it on. This time is also reserved for thinking." Xie Lingya explained, "I just don't want you to become a monk in the future. In order to waste time regretting, your age is the best time."

In this era, not every Taoist priest can be like his uncle. Xiaoliang came to Baoyang Temple for him. No matter how short he was, he couldn't help but accept it casually, so he repeatedly explained and persuaded Xiaoliang to think carefully.

The so-called masters I met in a small amount haven't said this yet. Generally, while picking on his aptitude, the idea revealed must be to do our job, subdue demons and make big money, and whoever doesn't come will be an idiot.

"You have to remember in the future that a serious religion will definitely not rush people to believe in it. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, to become a real monk, you have to go through many tests. After the test, there are still many precepts to abide by. Xie Lingya said, "And after going through so much, if you want to return to vulgarity, it won't take half a day."

Giving up is much easier than pursuing.If you go back on your word again and become a monk for the second time, you have to start over again.

Xiaoliang asked, "How many precepts are there?"

Xie Lingya said casually: "Three hundred."

Xiaoliang was startled, "Three hundred pieces?!"

It takes half a month just to remember, right?

Xie Lingya also took out his phone and checked it for him, "Did you see, three hundred."

Xiaoliang held his mobile phone and fell into deep thought. After repeated "threats" by Xie Lingya, his thoughts were already shaken. He didn't flinch, but wanted to think carefully about his life pursuits as Xie Lingya said.

Seeing Xiaoliang's appearance, Xie Lingya turned his eyes away, saw Shi Changxuan looking at him speechlessly, and secretly laughed twice.

There are many kinds of Taoist precepts, the main ones are Laojun Xianger Precepts, Chuzhen Precepts, etc. Generally, the first entry is to learn the Chuzhen Precepts, in fact, there are only ten or eight.

Xie Lingya deliberately said the most to scare him, the three hundred are the three hundred great precepts of Zhongji, which include all aspects, are particularly detailed, and have rules for every word and deed.In general, if one holds the primary true precepts without making any mistakes, then one will confer the medium and great precepts.

……

Looking back, Xie Lingya introduced Xiaoliang to everyone in Baoyang Temple, explaining that after he visited and lived here temporarily, in order to prove that what he said earlier was true, he saw today's [-]th and organized three Taoist priests to clean up. Zhang Daoting.

Zhang Daoting looked bewildered, and was rushed by Xie Lingya to clean up the incense burner and statues.

This job was done by Xie Lingya for the past few months, in order to lighten Zhang Daoting's burden.Zhang Daoting had been working in the scenic spot for a long time before, and it seems that he hadn't done it for a long time.

Zhang Daoting spread a layer of yellow paper, first pulled out the incense from the incense burner, inserted it on the oranges prepared in advance, then took out the incense ash on the yellow paper, and sifted it through a mesh sieve.After sifting, the incense ash is poured back into the furnace and flattened, and the incense is also inserted back.

The incense fire of Baoyang Temple is becoming more and more prosperous, and there is really a lot of ash in this incense burner, but generally only the ashes can be burned during the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year and when the twelfth lunar month is cleared.

Clean up one by one, sort out the excess incense ash and wrap it up. In the past, it was required to put it in the running water. Living in the city is for the sanitation of the river, so it is not so particular.

——People in the street community are staring at Baoyang Temple, fearing that they will burn this and lose that by carrying out activities and affecting the environment, but Baoyang Temple is actually well maintained, although it has not been able to replace incense with heart incense.

As for the statues, they must be cleaned after cleaning the incense burner.You can't wash it with water. You have to use a brush to remove the dust first, then use the white side of the grapefruit peel to wipe it, and finally you have to wipe it with essential oil.Such a big statue, this is physical labor.

Zhang Daoting wiped Sanqing first, and then Patriarch Master. His hands were sore, and he sat on the stool and rubbed his arms.

Xiao Liang watched carefully from the side, and squeezed Zhang Daoting's hand back.

Xie Lingya didn't stop him either, he went to offer incense to the patriarch, and said silently in his heart: "Patriarch, that guy who stole the seal of the capital has collected the ghosts of the underworld, you old man, please bless me, let me meet him, and eliminate harm for the people , By the way, earn back the more than 100 million yuan. I want to save money to expand and earn back your main hall."

Xie Lingya opened his eyes and found that the incense burned very fast, and soon burned to the feet of the incense, he couldn't help but wonder, isn't the patriarch very excited?

"Then let's talk about it. Although he has the Dugong seal and the three-five evil sword, I believe that with the eyes of the patriarch, I will be able to see him there. By the way, I don't know why. You have given me some face, did you give me some good words?" Xie Lingya said silently again, "You have to keep it up, that guy recruited so many ghosts, maybe I will have to borrow troops to fight with the City God in the future. "

After praying, Xie Lingya thought about what it would be like if the building could be expanded in the future.

In the evening, Shi Changxuan answered a phone call at home, and Xie Lingya asked him how he was when he came back.

Shi Changxuan said: "The City God is not in the temple."

It was said earlier that the Daoist Association would report to the God of the Underworld, and the pirates intercepted Yin Hun. Xie Lingya was puzzled and said, "Is it because I was on a business trip or I knew about it earlier, so I went to the boss."

The mayor of this world still went to other cities for research, maybe the city god of the provincial capital also went to investigate the advanced experience of fooling around in other provincial cities?

Shi Changxuan shook his head, "There was nothing in the temple two days ago. The mages guessed that the City God had changed his post. This happened decades ago."

Of course, there are personnel transfers in the underworld. The City God is originally a local hero. It is normal for people to make mistakes, be transferred or dismissed, and be promoted after they have completed their meritorious deeds.

"Why did you change positions at this juncture!" Xie Lingya sighed, corresponding to the ancient times, the modern city gods were at the level of counties, cities, and provincial capitals, and the city gods in provincial cities were already relatively high-level, and they were in charge of a province.

This is not only a matter of reporting the letter, the City God can't report it, but you can also inform the ghosts and gods of the underworld through other channels.But if that person did not leave Queshan, it would be best to have the local city god to help him.

I don't know how efficient the underworld is, and how long it will take to change jobs.Xie Lingya said: "That's because our patriarch is more reliable. When I offered incense to him, he promised to help."

Not everyone has such a strong connection with the patriarch of the sect as Xie Lingya, and not every god is so enthusiastic. People also have their own personalities, and they may not care about themselves.

Shi Changxuan was relieved in his heart, Wang Lingguan's eyes are sharp, and he can picket the world, maybe he can really give some guidance.

The next day, Xie Lingya wanted to do some divination to see if there were any clues. The boss Sun Fuyang from the outside newsagent shop came to discuss with him about terminating the lease contract.

The small space outside Baoyang Temple was rented out to earn some rent. It was the main income of the Taoist temple for a long time, and it was once very important.

Sun Fuyang has been renting there for several years. He said that his son is doing well in the provincial capital, and he has decided to move the whole family there to be reunited with his son. Of course, the newsagent will no longer be open.I was a little embarrassed at first, but recently Baoyang Temple has developed very well, so he felt relieved to mention it.

There was no way, Xie Lingya discussed this matter with him again, the two parties amicably terminated the contract, and the facade was withdrawn. In a few days, the lease term for this month will officially end, and Sun Fuyang will clear the things.

Xie Lingya thought, after Sun Fuyang left, he didn't plan to rent out the frontage again, but wanted to demolish the place and restore the front wall.Changing the door of Baoyang Temple to a bigger one, and then re-hanging the antique old plaque, how fancy it is.

The current exterior wall is not only antique, but also compressed a lot for the sake of the whole facade, which is quite lacklustre.

A major feature of Baoyang Temple today is the ancient buildings inside. Many tourists come here for this. Redesigning the gate will make it even more attractive.They still have the heirs of "Book of Luban" and believe that they can build a suitable gate.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingya ran to the door to see how big the door could be.

"Thank you teacher, thank you teacher!"

Xie Lingya suddenly heard someone calling him, and looked back, a car had just stabilized, and a person alighted from it, striding over to shake hands with him.

"Mr. Tang." Xie Lingya saw that this was not Tang Qi. He said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, come to offer incense?"

Tang Qi was a little anxious, and said, "It's not Shangxiang, something happened to me."

Xie Lingya's eyes widened, "Impossible!"

With Shi Changxuan's ceremonies, he specially drew the Taishang's secret magic house town house talisman, can something happen?

Tang Qi couldn't wait to enter the Baoyang Temple. In fact, he could not wait to pull Xie Lingya into the car, stood on the side of the road and said: "A worker went to the mountain to catch rabbits, but it seemed to be an evil spirit. When they found him, everyone went crazy. It’s gone! Shout out that there’s a ghost!”

"Are you sure it's not artificial?" Xie Lingya asked.

When Tang Qi heard this, he was not sure, "Uh, if you want to say that, then I'm not sure either... Someone wants to make trouble to harm my project?"

Although the man yelled that there was a ghost, he was not necessarily frightened by a real ghost.He especially believed in Xie Lingya, and he also believed in the rituals they did, so he was the most depressed.

Xie Lingya wanted to say otherwise and take Hai Guanchao to see it, but at this moment Tang Qi's car trunk rang twice.

"Fuck." Tang Qi was startled, stood a few steps away, and asked the driver vigilantly, "What's in your trunk?"

The driver was also dumbfounded, "It's nothing, just some food and things to use."

He carefully recalled what was inside, but he couldn't think of anything that could make such a sound.

If it wasn't for broad daylight, Tang Qi would have jumped up behind Xie Lingya in fright, "Open it and have a look!"

The driver pressed it, and the trunk popped open a little.

Xie Lingya picked up a stone on the flower bed for self-defense, walked over and opened it, and there was a red and yellow little fox squatting among the piles of sundries!

Xie Lingya threw the stone away, "Why is it you?"

The driver couldn't believe it, "It, when did it go in, I obviously didn't see it!"

Tang Qi felt better, "It's a fox..."

He also recognized that this should be one of the foxes who stole the skull before.Because he had seen it before, even though he knew it was a ghost, he was not afraid anymore.

After seeing Xie Lingya, the little fox folded its front paws to Xie Lingya, bowed a few times as if bowing, then jumped out of the trunk and hugged Xie Lingya's calf.

The driver couldn't accept it for a while. Is this a fox or a dog?

When Tang Qi saw this action, why did he feel like he was asking for help?The little fox has a spirit, so he definitely didn't do it randomly.

"Go up." Tang Qi sent the driver into the car directly.

The driver looked back before leaving, he really wanted to say why the yogurt in my trunk seemed to have been bitten...

Tang Qi asked, "Mr. Xie, it came to you specially. Could it have anything to do with what happened on our construction site?"

"It's possible." Xie Lingya didn't understand fox language either, but the little fox looked like asking for help, and something happened to Tang Qi, maybe there was a connection.

"Go ahead and talk, I'll give Daoist Shi a call." Shi Changxuan went to class, Xie Lingya said on the phone, he immediately asked for leave and came back.

Xie Lingya carried the little fox into the Taoist temple, the little fox was curled up in his arms, some pilgrims saw it and thought it was a bastard.

Xie Lingya asked Tang Qi to sit down and explained the worker's situation in detail.Because the little fox also came, Xie Lingya had a vague feeling that it was indeed not artificial.

And the land Tang Qi bought was not in a particularly deep mountain, and it was only half an hour's drive to get in, otherwise it would not attract tourists.

The mountains are connected to the mountains, and the inside is naturally vast. The deeper the mountains, the more spirits and monsters.If the worker went too deep into the mountain, or if there were some powerful ghosts, something might happen.

Tang Qi was also told by someone, and he said: "There were three of them going together. It's hard to say how deep they went, but those workers were all recruited locally. They are very familiar with the forest and have gone to catch rabbits before. .”

But this time something happened, the three of them scattered a little bit, one of them suddenly yelled, the others thought they had encountered a poisonous snake and beast, rushed over to see that the person had already fainted.After memorizing it, I arrived at the construction site, and was calling for a car to take people down, when I woke up again, but my mind was no longer clear.

There was too little information, and Xie Lingya couldn't tell anything for a while, so he asked the little fox, "Did something happen to your parents?"

The little fox nodded, then shook his head again.

"Is that an injury?" Xie Lingya asked.

The little fox nodded.

Xie Lingya: "Is it related to their construction site?"

This time the little fox tilted his head and thought for a long time, probably he didn't know either.

Not long after, Shi Changxuan asked for leave and came back. After asking, he agreed with Xie Lingya and took the guy to the mountain to have a look.

Xiaoliang was reading a book with Zhang Daoting, which was also a part of his life in the Taoist temple. Seeing Xie Lingya taking the sword at this time, he had a look of admiration and longing, wishing to go with him, but he knew that Xie Lingya was different from Master Zhao, so he would definitely not take him with him .

At this time, the little fox was pawing at the door to look at Xie Lingya. It was quite anxious, and swept its tail on the ground, impatiently.

Seeing the humanized movements of the fox, Xiaoliang said enviously, "Mr. Xie, you have raised a vixen."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Why does it sound weird?

Xie Lingya picked up the fox and said, "I'm going out to work, you follow Dao Ting and read carefully, don't think about it."

Xiaoliang nodded quickly, "Oh, I see."

……

Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan got into Tang Qi's car together with the little fox. Under Tang Qi's repeated urging, they drove to the mountain at the speed limit of the traffic rules.

When encountering such a thing, Tang Qi's impatience was brought to the extreme.

The original journey was compressed by nearly one-third, and when we arrived at the construction site, when we got out of the car and took a look, Shi Changxuan immediately said: "The evil spirit is too strong."

This was originally a blessed place where dragon veins formed holes, but when Shi Changxuan saw it, there was an evil spirit all around, and it was only because there were 72 magical talismans of the supreme secret method of town house that it didn't invade it.

What's more, the air gets stronger the more you go into the mountain!

If they hadn't been here once before, they would have to check whether it was due to Feng Shui, but last time they came, not only was this cave, but the surrounding area was also full of vitality, otherwise how could they raise a nest of spiritual foxes.

"With such a heavy yin energy, the Mass Burial Mound is nothing more than that." Xie Lingya murmured.

When talking about mass graves, he and Shi Changxuan both thought of Bo Shan and the seal thief.

This place is by no means a place where Yin soldiers pass, and the Yin Qi suddenly gathers like a mass grave, making it impossible not to guess that someone really moved more ghosts than a single mass grave here...

Could it be that after that person left Boshan, he actually came to Fuyang?Is he refining, or training soldiers?

"Mr. Tang, you'd better tell your subordinates not to leave the construction site again." Xie Lingya said seriously.His town house talisman can still protect him inside the construction site, so it's not certain to leave.

"What happened?" Tang Qihan was about to come down, "Can it be solved? Can I still do business in the future?"

"Try your best." Xie Lingya quickly took out all the talisman papers he had brought, and he wanted to draw another set of talismans quickly.Because he remembered that Tang Qi said that there was a village nearby, and he didn't know if it was affected.

Shi Changxuan informed the Zhixie that the provincial road association should not be able to catch up, but the people from the Fuyang city road association could.

The little fox barked a few times, and Shi Changxuan left with it for a while. About 10 minutes later, Shi Changxuan came back with two big foxes in his arms.

The two big foxes had wounds on their bodies, and the wounds were also entangled with evil spirits. They couldn't heal and were bleeding profusely. They were obviously wounded by Yin objects. After all, they didn't really become spirits. downwind.

Xie Lingya took the time to treat the fox's wound with Zhu Youshu to remove the evil spirit, and the blood was stopped. However, because of the previous bleeding, the foxes were very weak. They licked the little fox's head with their tongues, looked at Xie Lingya, showing human emotions.

"Don't worry, you take care of your wounds." Xie Lingya comforted him, and the fox turned his head reassuringly. The male fox sniffed the female fox's wound to confirm that it was fine.

"Mr. Tang, can I trouble you to contact the veterinary hospital?" Xie Lingya pointed to the two foxes.

"Yes, yes!" Mr. Tang came back to his senses, and immediately asked the driver to take the fox to the city for treatment.

In addition, he has to trouble his subordinates to send the talisman to the village and persuade the villagers not to lose it.

After finishing these, Xie Lingya said to Shi Changxuan: "I think we may not be enough this time."

He has a sword alone, no matter how cruel he is, he can't kill a hundred thousand ghosts with a single sword.Both of them knew the overall situation of Fuyang City, and the other colleagues were not particularly good at it.

Shi Changxuan nodded, "Set up an altar."

There are not enough people, ghosts come to join.

Earlier, Xie Lingya asked the patriarch to speak kindly to the City God, allowing him to recruit more soldiers and horses to help him.Besides, this matter is originally related to the underworld.

"Okay." Xie Lingya put the magic weapon in order, and whispered a slogan, "Down with the pirates - capture Liu Lingtong alive -!"

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Shang Lushen: "?????"
