Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya was joking, but Liu Yunyun had a dream the next night, about his grandfather Zhu Chengmei.

Zhu Chengmei wore the new clothes that Liu Yunyun gave him last night, smiled lovingly, and said, "I didn't want to give you dreams in the past. You don't like these things in the first place, and I'm afraid it will scare you."

Liu Yunyun cried again in his dream.

Zhu Chengmei said: "It's okay, but I've been hungry for a few years. Didn't I eat enough last night? It's all thanks to you burning a lot of things."

Liu Yunyun cried and said, "Grandpa, how are you doing down there?"

"I'm queuing up to be reincarnated. I've inquired about it, and it's very likely to be reincarnated." Zhu Chengmei shook his head and said, "Grandpa strives to vote early, maybe we can meet again in the world."

Liu Yunyun smiled through tears, "Really?"

Zhu Chengmei smiled and said: "Really, don't let the boy from Wang Yuji's family do a dojo for me. After doing a dojo, he extradited me to heaven. I just want to reenter the world."

"I can't talk for too long, Yunyun, you find a booklet in my old things box, it's my notes on learning Lushan method before I was alive, give this to Xie Lingya." Zhu Chengmei said, "Tell him, I have searched for this all my life but have not been able to find an heir, so I will keep it if I keep it there, so I will give it to him as a reward."

Liu Yunyun nodded, and took the time to say a few words to Zhu Chengmei. When he woke up, he found that his face was covered with tears.

Liu Yunyun thought of what grandpa said in his dream, so he went back to the old house to look for it, and sure enough, he saw the booklet pressed at the bottom in a box, and there were some magical artifacts besides it.

Therefore, Liu Yunyun and Huang Bin moved the things to Baoyang Temple together, handed them over to Xie Lingya, and told his grandfather what he said.

Xie Lingya held Zhu Chengmei's booklet of learning Lushan method, feeling a lot of pressure, and said: "Give it to me, I dare not resign. Although Mr. Zhu said he gave it to me, I only do this part-time, but in the future I will find it in the Taoist sect. Appropriate people pass down the Lushan method, and don't let his hard work go to waste."

He admired Zhu Chengmei's virtues, especially seeing the shadow of his uncle in Zhu Chengmei.

"Thank you." Liu Yunyun was very touched. Grandpa had already given up, but Xie Lingya took the initiative to promise that although he was a part-time job, he would pass it on to others in the future.

"I will also set up a tablet in the temple, so that the old man can enjoy the incense with the previous ancestors every day." Xie Lingya said.

Liu Yunyun is now very concerned about these behind-the-scenes matters, and asked: "Mr. Xie, you said, if my ancestors are as perfect as my grandfather and have already gone to reincarnation, then the sacrifice I made...?"

She decided to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of past dynasties every festival in the future, and burn some offerings to those Yin soldiers, but because she didn't understand, she couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Because many people don't know where their ancestors are, they all hold the premise that they have not yet reincarnated. If he is still there, he can live a better life. For us, it is also a way to mourn."

Xie Lingya thought for a while, and said: "Someone once felt food in his mouth in his sleep, and the lingering fragrance was still there when he woke up. After asking the mage, he found out that it was his relatives from the previous life who were still offering sacrifices to him. Because of his strong belief, he still felt it. Although he has no memory of his previous life, he can't help being very moved. The sacrifices have not been broken for so many years. Later, according to the vague scene in the dream, he found the family of the previous life and gave him a gift. This is the continuation of the previous relationship. "

Thinking of his grandfather's joking words, Liu Yunyun said that maybe he was reincarnated early, and we could meet again. At this time, what he said with Xie Lingya seemed to be confirmed, and he was a little excited, "Thank you, I see."

Xie Lingya enshrined Zhu Chengmei's tablet and called him Mr. Although they did not have the name of master and apprentice, and they had never even met each other, but Zhu Chengmei presented Xie Lingya with the Lushan method, so it is not an exaggeration to call him Mr.

Lu Shanfa has a lot of research on all kinds of goblins and ghosts. They invite soldiers from the three realms and five battalions, that is, they can recruit soldiers from heaven, yin, and monsters. There are many scientific rituals in this regard.

After reading it, Xie Lingya said: "Well, so to speak, the relationship between me and Ding Aima is also very similar. It's just a verbal agreement, no vows. You see, I will give them incense, and they usually help me. patrol……"

Zhang Daoting asked him: "That Ding Aima, he might be willing to be a dark soldier all the time."

"That's right." Xie Lingya said, he had already inquired about it, there is no pain when you are saved, it just washes away your sins.

And if the magic power of the mage is enough, he can even be extradited to heaven and go to the Miaoyan Palace in the East to enjoy the joy.

This is another good place besides reincarnation, but unfortunately not everyone can succeed.

If you go to the six realms of reincarnation, not every dead soul can be reincarnated into a human fetus after death. If there is no merit, the next life is likely to be a dog, an ant or something like that. year team.

Ding Aima shook her head when she heard it, "Mr. Xie, I heard you talk about the scientific rituals. During this time of salvation, you have to preach to the dead at the end to enlightenment, and then the dead live in some kind of palace. Isn't it necessary to abide by the rituals?" The precepts of Taoism, and there is no entertainment in the world."

Xie Lingya: "...Why, haven't you watched enough free movies?"

Ding Aima: "..."

Ding Aima really admitted: "It's only a moment to be able to see it for a while."

Xie Lingya has nothing to do with him, each ghost has his own ambition.Like Qin Limin, he just wanted to reincarnate and eat more delicious food in the next life.

Ding Aima said: "Well, Teacher Xie, if you have a granddaughter in the future, I won't care about you, I will help you protect her..."

Xie Lingya said straightly: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!"

By the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the temple was finally not so lively. Many people returned to work on the eighth day of the lunar new year. By this time, the students were about to start school.

According to Xie Lingya's statistics, they sent out thousands of blessings every day in this blessing-giving activity, and the total number is very considerable.

That day he was settling accounts, and saw a family of three coming into the Taoist temple for the dharma items he consumed that day, "Is there a Taoist priest here?"

The other Taoist priests were receiving believers, and the volunteer lay monks were also busy. Xie Lingya watched by the way and replied, "I'm busy, you can wait a little bit or come later."

"Oh, then..." the family asked, "Can I still sign up for tonight's lamp offering ceremony?"

"Registration has ended." Xie Lingya said, for the Shangyuan Dharma Conference, it is necessary to prepare the essays, butter lamps and other things for the registered believers in advance.

This couple is very young, leading a seven or eight-year-old girl. The mother has a bracelet, with a rope like a telephone line in the middle, and the other end is connected to the little girl's hand. I don't know if it is because they are afraid that people will walk away during the Spring Festival. scattered.But the little girl has been obediently bowing her head and following her mother step by step, not like she would run around.

The father said: "Can you be more flexible, we just heard that the practice of Baoyang Temple is very effective, and money is not a problem."

"It's nothing. It's 200 yuan a person. The price is uniform. There should be more lights." Xie Lingya said.In fact, it was all his organization and preparation, and later he would add another lamp and write prose.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "200 yuan? Isn't there something more expensive?"

Xie Lingya laughed and said, "How expensive do you want?"

The husband said embarrassingly: "I saw other Taoist temples before, and there were [-] lamps..."

"Is it inlaid with gold?" Xie Lingya asked without hesitation, "We don't have any here."

The two of them looked at each other, "Okay, little brother, I'm sorry to trouble you, but give us a supplementary report."

"Well, come here at eight o'clock tonight." Xie Lingya went through the formalities for them. Looking at the registered names, it turned out that the man's name was Qi Liang, the woman's name was Meng Siyu, and the daughter's name was Qi Xiaomei.

Xie Lingya looked at their daughter a few more times while talking, and always felt that this little girl Qi Xiaomei was a little dull, not as lively as ordinary children of this age.

"By the way, little brother, where can we ask for a talisman? We want to ask for another talisman." Qi Liang and his wife said.

"The talismans are sold out." During the Chinese New Year, the supply of talismans was in short supply. Both he and Fang Zhe couldn't draw them well, especially Fang Zhe couldn't draw talismans of the ancestors.

"No more?" They were disappointed.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the Taoist priest to draw a picture." Xie Lingya always felt that their daughter didn't look right, and he wasn't sure for a while, so he put down the account book, went to the backyard, drew a picture with a pen, and then took it out .

The husband and wife saw that the cinnabar mark was not done, it was really a fresh painting!

Meng Siyu was blunt, and asked, "Isn't the Taoist minister busy?"

Xie Lingya smiled: "Yes, I took time to draw while I was working."

"Oh... well, thank you, please thank the Taoist priest for us." The two paid the money again, dried the talisman, folded it, and asked the daughter to take it.

Xie Lingya was thinking about how to ask, because he just had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't recognize it. It would be great if Shi Changxuan was there.But at this moment, Xie Lingya saw his daughter's hand sticking out from the thick cotton coat and wiping her nose.

I saw a few bruises on the white and tender hands.

Xie Lingya stared at the bruise, "What's going on?"

Qi Liang and Meng Siyu looked very unnatural, as if hesitating to speak.

At this time, Zhang Daoting finally finished his work. He came to the front and saw them, "What's the matter? Hey, what happened to the little girl's hand, did she fall?"

"Master Dao." The two of them looked at Zhang Daoting, and they were willing to say, "My daughter has encountered some strange things recently."

Xie Lingya sat down beside him, listening to them with his face propped up.

Qi Liang glanced at him, saw that the priest didn't say anything, and said, "At first, one night, my daughter's toy slipped under the sofa, and she reached for it. Then she felt a hand grabbing her, At that time, my daughter was crying and screaming. My wife and I came over and pulled her out together, and poked her down with a mop stick, but nothing was poked, and it took a lot of effort to pull her out-the hand almost dislocated gone."

It also left bruises on the hands.

Zhang Daoting's scalp was going to explode when he heard it, it's hard to say.Zhang Daoting felt that he was about to leave a shadow. Who has no experience of dropping things under the sofa? When he thought of being in a place where his eyes could not see, when his hand was groping under the dark furniture, suddenly a hand held his hand and exerted force. pull!

——Zhang Daoting could almost feel the tense atmosphere, and very much hoped that Xie Lingya could stand up and say something to spoil the atmosphere.

But at this time, the little girl who was originally dumbfounded immediately showed fear on her face when she heard her father's words.

Meng Siyu quickly went to hold the little girl's wrist, but the little girl threw it away immediately as if she had been electrocuted.

Mother's hands were a little cold, and she recalled that night when she put her hand under the dark sofa, she was held tightly by an invisible, cold hand, and refused to let go...

Qi Liang came to his senses immediately, regretting that he had mentioned it in front of his daughter, and asked Meng Siyu to take Qi Xiaomei out.

Only then did Xie Lingya know why they only tied their daughter's hands with a rope, winked at Zhang Daoting, and followed them out.Just now the couple thought he was a volunteer or something, so I left it to Zhang Daoting to explain, he said it might work.

Xie Lingya picked a flower from a pot in the yard and put it in Qi Xiaomei's hands.

Qi Xiaomei glanced at him, and timidly took the flowers.

"Thank you, little brother." Meng Siyu forced a smile at him.

Xie Lingya patted Qi Xiaomei's back a few times with the hand of the Lingguan Jue. The little girl felt as if the coolness on her body was dispelled by a burst of warmth, and the fear lingering in her heart also faded a lot.

Qi Xiaomei stretched out her hand and hugged Xie Lingya's arm.

Meng Siyu looked at Xie Lingya in surprise, since her daughter encountered that incident, even they have found it difficult to get close.

"It's okay." Xie Lingya took another look at Qi Xiaomei's hand, and took out some ointment, which was made by Hai Guanchao himself. He slowly rubbed the medicine on Qi Xiaomei, and Qi Xiaomei's expression became more and more relaxed .

Inside, Zhang Daoting and Qi Liang were talking all the time, outside, Xie Lingya was silently comforting Qi Xiaomei, and by the way, he also took Qi Xiaomei's pulse, using the Taisu pulse method.

When Qi Liang and the two came out of the hall, Qi Xiaomei was already stepped on the flower bed by Xie Lingya to play, with a long-lost smile on her face.

Qi Liang also showed a look of surprise, and exchanged a glance with Meng Siyu, "Daozhang Zhang said that he would invite his brother to help..."

Just now, it was just him and Zhang Daoting inside. As soon as he said that, Zhang Daoting trembled with fright, causing him to look puzzled.Before he himself had time to recall the fear, Zhang Daoting was afraid first.

Then Zhang Daoting quickly explained that there is a specialization in surgery, and his senior brother only specializes in this, which is the one he went out just now.

Qi Liang just didn't expect that the little brother they mistakenly thought was a handyman would get results so quickly, and Qi Xiaomei's spirit would be much better after a while.

"That's it, this is my senior brother." Zhang Daoting hurriedly said, reaching out his hand towards Xie Lingya.

Meng Siyu: "..."

She thought this little brother was a handyman, but she was also a professional, but she didn't know why he didn't dress up as a Taoist priest.Meng Siyu thought it was no wonder that he said a few words to his daughter, and her daughter immediately improved a lot.

"I was rude just now, Master, thank you." Meng Siyu hurriedly said.

Xie Lingya shook his head, "Nothing."

He didn't go around talking about his ghost hunting, as long as anyone who knows knows it, he avoids drawing symbols.Later, seeing that Qi Xiaomei was frightened, he came out to appease her, anyway, Zhang Daoting would explain.

Zhang Daoting summed it up to Xie Lingya, after that night, Qi Xiaomei often encountered such things at night, as long as it was in a dark corner, it seemed that a cold hand would grab her at any time.

Under the bed, under the dining table, that hand seemed to be everywhere.The bruises on Qi Xiaomei's hands became heavier and heavier.

Qi Liang and Meng Siyu didn't dare to let her stay alone anymore. They turned on all the lights in the house at night, and then went everywhere to pray to gods and Buddhas. They had already invited monks to do a ritual, and they went to Baoyang Temple again today.

Xie Lingya asked Qi Xiaomei's date of birth, guessed it himself, and Shi Changxuan was not around, so he tried to ask himself: "Your house...is it a new move?"

"No, our house is old." Qi Liang said, "My mother-in-law left it to my wife. Because the child has to go to school, I renovated it and moved back in."

"That means the soil has been moved, is it a one-story house?" Xie Lingya became more certain. He had counted Qi Xiaomei's fate, and the variable should be related to the soil.

"Yes! We redid the patio!" Qi Liang almost broke his voice, "You mean there is a problem with the house?"

Qi Xiaomei was taken by Zhang Daoting to drink water. Meng Siyu untied the rope and stood aside. At this time, she also said: "My grandmother told me before that things will become fine when they get old. Is it something old in our family? It's from my family. Wooden tub, or my rolling pin??"

These are things that have been in her memory for a long time, and they have been there since she was a child.

"Old objects may have spirituality, but this time they should have awakened the bones in the ground. Let me look at the photos of the courtyard." Xie Lingya looked at their repaired courtyard and said, "The courtyard is too big and the area is too large. The wind gathers the water, and it’s uncomfortable to lie down." He remembered something, "Yes, the hands holding your daughter appeared from below."

Both Qi Liang and Meng Siyu felt like fainting, especially Meng Siyu, who lived there since she was a child, "Then, there are bones in the ground?"

"Don't be afraid. After so many years of human development, there are bones in many places underground. It's just the difference between deep or shallow burial. Your home may be right in line with someone else's burial site. After the ground was changed, the feng shui of the deceased was buried. Woke up, this... How should I put it, they may have lived there longer." So Xie Lingya can't say who is at fault, "And this should be just a reminder, otherwise you alone would not be able to drag her back .”

Another thing is that the child's yang energy is weaker, so Qi Xiaomei was chosen to attack.

Xie Lingya comforted him so much, but Qi Liang and Meng Siyu didn't feel much better. They looked at Xie Lingya bitterly: "Master, what should we do now, change the house back?"

"Wait for me." Xie Lingya said, turned his back and began to check his phone.

Qi Liang and Meng Siyu: "??"

Why did you suddenly start playing with your phone?

Zhang Daoting quickly diverted the topic away: "Maybe someone is looking for it, my brother is very busy."

Recently, I am busy preparing for the re-examination for the postgraduate entrance examination... I will go to the re-examination in a few days.

After a while, Xie Lingya turned around confidently, "Wait for me to go to your house, find out where the bones are buried, dig them up and bury them, so that there will be no future troubles."

When Qi Liang and his wife didn't notice, Zhang Daoting wiped his sweat.

……

Xie Lingya went to Qi Liang's house, and used the technique of pinpointing acupoints to measure the specific burial site. It was in the corner of Qi Liang's bedroom. After digging four or five meters down from this place, a white bone came out, and the soil was very moist. .

The old house of Meng Siyu's house was only one meter long when the foundation was laid. When the house was built, they didn't know that there were bones underneath.

Xie Lingya wiped off the bones one by one with white wine and yellow paper, then put them in a container, chanted a few curses, and asked Qi Liang to find a cemetery for burial.It costs money to buy a cemetery these days, but for Qi Liang and his family, spending money to eliminate the disaster.

Including digging such a big hole in his bedroom, it needs to be renovated after backfilling.

And at this time, it was already past the time for the Shangyuan Fahui, but Xie Lingya had written them a prose before, as long as the Taoist priest took their place.

Xie Lingya saw that Qi Liang was uneasy, and knew in his heart, "Forget it, I'll bring back the Dao Conception Sutra first, and then come to pick it up when you want to bury it."

Qi Liang was very grateful, he had to wait until dawn to find the cemetery, he really didn't dare to be in the same room with this corpse.

"Actually, you used to live upstairs and downstairs, and you lived in peace all the time." Xie Lingya said with a smile.

Qi Liang: "..."

Qi Liang bite the bullet and said: "Stop talking, I almost don't dare to live here."

"He's about to move, don't be afraid." Xie Lingya said, "Today we even offered lamps. Tonight, on the Lantern Festival, the heavenly officials will bless you. Your family will be safe and peaceful."

"Thank you for your kind words." Qi Liang finally felt a little better.

Xie Lingya said goodbye to them, Qi Xiaomei still held him reluctantly.

"Apply the medicine well." Xie Lingya patted Qi Xiaomei's head.

……

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Xie Lingya returned to Baoyang Temple. Many lanterns were hung on the pedestrian street, which is a traditional custom.

On the Shangyuan Festival, the heavenly officials are happy, so they need to light the lamps.

Red lanterns are hung in the market, a lingering lingering joy of the new year, and oil lamps are also placed in Taoist temples, which complement each other with the stars in the sky.Offer lamps to keep your own wisdom lamps always shining, and the blessings will be profound.

Xie Lingya stepped into the door, but the door was just closed.When he opened the door, he saw that the desks in the courtyard were dotted with stars. This lamp was going to be lit for seven days and nights, so it was taken away after the Dharma meeting.

At this moment, with the lights flickering on and off, it faintly illuminated a figure who was bowing his head and chanting sutras.

Xie Lingya vaguely recognized it, and coughed: "Is it the little cutie and the owner of the little cutie back?"

It was so late after finishing the ceremony, and when he came back and saw that the door was open and he was alone, he had the feeling that someone was waiting for him to go home, so he couldn't help but smile.

Shi Changxuan raised his head suddenly, just in time to see Xie Lingya standing in the same place and smiling at him, his smiling eyes were extremely vivid, whether it was the starry sky or the burning lights in the eyes.

He didn't know how to speak for a moment.

……

Several years later, Shang Lushen recalled, said with his arms akimbo: "Ben was cute and read a poem!"

Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.
