Part-Time Taoist Priest

Fang Xushan had just pulled out of the illusion, he was stunned for a while before he realized the meaning of Xie Lingya's words, wiped the sweat from his brow and said: "I saw an evil spirit whipping a rotten corpse, and someone told me, That was my previous life."

Xie Lingya imagined that this scene might be more terrifying than the pile of bones from his previous life.

That illusion was too real, thinking about it now still made Fang Xushan turn pale, "That evil thing bewitched me, and to believe in it, one must prove Luo Han Guo."

"Why do you still have a professional title? I asked if I had five social insurances and one housing fund, and it faltered to me!" Xie Lingya thought to himself that he was a liar, and he couldn't believe it.

Taoists: "..."

"Leave that aside, are you all okay?" Xie Lingya asked.

The Taoist priests were only mentally stimulated in the illusion, and maybe their minds were shaken, but fortunately they escaped in time.

Xie Lingya went to help Shi Changxuan again, his legs were weaker after using the golden fire bell, Lian Tan still sat on the ground and fell into meditation.

Xie Lingya stood by the window and looked out, only to see a figure hovering over the forest floating down, it was the Eastern Ghost King.He glanced at the situation in the room, and said, "Just now, my king couldn't enter that room anyway."

"I just said I didn't see you." Xie Lingya said, "Can you help to search around? See if there is anyone."

He was still holding on to hope that maybe Hongyang Taoist hadn't fled far away.

"What kind of person?" Ghost King asked.

This is a difficult problem, they have not seen the face of Taoist Hongyang yet.Xie Lingya thought for a while, and brought the books left in the house, "Maybe there are scriptures like this on him, and he is more like a practitioner, not a monk or a Taoist."

"Try." Ghost King nodded, jumped up, and then fell down again, "That..."

Xie Lingya lifted Liu Lingtong up, "Come on, give the king a call."

Liu Lingtong: "..."

Liu Lingtong: "Come on, come on..."

The ghost king let out a sinister laugh, rolled up a few fallen leaves, and flew away.

As soon as he left, Liu Lingtong breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the coercion of the ghost king, it felt tense like a human being holding his breath.

On the other side, Fang Xushan looked at the souls in the room, searched inside for a long time, and sure enough saw Jiang Yuqi's soul cowering in the corner.

"Jiang Yuqi?" Fang Xushan called out.

"..." Jiang Yuqi's living soul only had fear and confusion on his face, and he didn't agree, but it was much better than the surrounding souls that were completely like wood.He was taken into the body of the evil Buddha for only a few hours, and he did not completely lose his mind like other souls.

Fang Xushan heaved a sigh of relief, he could still be saved, and put him away with a willow tablet.

At this time, Lian Tan slowly regained consciousness. He glanced at the souls in the room, as well as the broken Buddha statues, hairs, and nails on the ground, "This is..."

It's not that Lian Tan doesn't recognize her, but she hates her very much.

Liu Lingtong mentioned before that "the human soul pretends to be dirty", which actually refers to a ritual. After the new statue of God and Buddha is completed, before it is consecrated, a symbolic internal organ is installed in the hollow interior to make it obtain spiritual power. knowledge.

Buddhists usually put Buddha relics or guru clothes, antique Buddha statues and other items, and different schools have different things.

This evil thing that is not a Buddha or a Bodhisattva is filled with human hair and nails. Everyone immediately knows how Hongyang Dao captures souls and why it harms people. Naturally, it is to increase the cultivation of evil things.

Such an evil Buddha, I don’t know how to give birth to spirituality at first, but later, in order to continue to make offerings and expand its ability, they put human souls in it to increase their "spiritual consciousness".

And the human souls used are also people with faith, because the teachings of Hongyang Dao are mixed with several religions, so the people selected are also from various religions and sects.

What it showed to everyone in the illusion before was all Buddhist methods. After listening to it, Lian Tan said that seeing the bones of the old body was the supernatural power shown by Moggallana, one of the top ten disciples of the Buddha in the legend.

It can be seen that the evil Buddha is indeed proficient in knowledge. Is this knowledge instilled by Taoist Hongyang, or is it bestowed by the souls of those Buddhists in his body?unknown.

What's more frightening is that this is a vicious circle. When the evil Buddha has the ability, it can harm more people and confuse more believers, and its power will become stronger.

Xie Lingya couldn't help thinking of a question: "... how many such evil things do they have?"

Taoist Hongyang kept the evil Buddha, but it is hard to say whether they are confident that they will be defeated by the evil Buddha, or there are other evil things, and they are not attached to this one.

Everyone was speechless for a while.

This Buddha statue is difficult enough to deal with. If it weren't for Lian Tan in the corpse forest outside, it would take them a while to break free. After encountering the evil Buddha himself, their willpower will either be as firm as Shi Changxuan and Lian Tan, or like Xie Lingya. Can break the law violently.

At this time, the ghost king had returned, squatted outside the window and said, "There are no such people in a radius of tens of miles."

"Run away." Xie Lingya sighed.

"...In any case, this matter is too complicated, I want to report it." Fang Xushan said seriously.I thought it was just a few victims before, but when I came here to take a look, it was more than that!

And speaking of the cemetery...

Everyone walked out of the small building, looked at the forest, and saw a lot of bones.

"The corpses turned into Vedara ghosts. These Vedara ghosts have no soul. They have been subdued by me, so they have changed back to their former appearance." Lian Tan said, he was very anxious before, and he didn't fully explain, "If you practice evil methods The more profound the mantra is, the more vicious the Vidhara ghost will be."

These bones reminded Xie Lingya of the scene in the illusion, and he turned his eyes away and said, "It's time to call the police. Collect fingerprints in the house, maybe you can find someone. But, how to explain to the police?"

"I'll call the Provincial Bureau of Religious Affairs first." Fang Xushan murmured.Of course, this kind of thing is for the government to be good to the government. Originally, it was necessary to report to the Daoist Association at the higher level. After seeing the evil Buddha, everyone knew that this matter hadn't become a big deal yet, but if the symptoms were not stopped in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Call some more people, there is still a room full of ghosts to be saved." Xie Lingya said abruptly, "Monks and Taoists must be there."

——The ghosts here have different beliefs. Of course, you can’t use Taoist methods to save them all. You must respect the beliefs of the dead souls before they were alive. Otherwise, if you say that people believe in Buddhism, it’s not good to send them to the east.

The monks and priests got busy and called out.

Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan were sitting on the steps outside the building to rest, Xie Lingya asked him: "Are you okay?"

Shi Changxuan shook his head, "Nothing."

The Ghost King floated in the air, and said shyly, "I searched for a while, and even called wandering ghosts to look for it together, it's really tiring."

Xie Lingya: "...I didn't ask you."

The ghost king smiled, as if signaling, so he had to say it too.

Xie Lingya: "Of course, thank you. I will burn some offerings for you later and you can go."

"It's nothing, once a stranger and second acquaintance, I have some friendship with Mr. Xie." The ghost king looked like he wanted to come over to chat.

Xie Lingya stood up the sword and propped it beside him, "Oh... so tired."

"..." The ghost king's body rose in a straight line and floated towards the roof of the building at a constant speed.

……

The people from the city police station were startled.

They have never handled such a strange case, and the content is unknown, only that it seems to be a murder case.

After listening to the order, I arrived at the place, a suburban forest, full of bones, it seems that there are old and new.It makes people wonder if the underground was originally an ancient cemetery, why so many bones were dug up, anyway, they all have to be picked up and sent to the crematorium.

Then, you have to check the information of the house next to you, from the owner of the house to who came in and out, extract the fingerprints, hair and other things inside, and find out the identity of the relevant person...

The weirdest thing was that when they arrived, they found that there were several Taoist priests and a monk at the scene. After that, two groups of people came one after another, also Taoist priests and monks.

A group of Taoist priests and monks occupied one side of the small building and began to perform rituals.

Everyone thinks that this is saving those bones, right?

It would have been scary to clean up so many bones at night, and it was even more weird to have people chanting scriptures by the side.

Everyone guessed that there was something weird about the case, and it was understandable to find some religious people to rescue them, but why did they find two groups of people?The two dials are peaceful enough, and they should be done separately.

In the middle, I sat with the old monk and the young Taoist priest to drink hot water and chat with each other from time to time.

These are Lian Tan, Xie Lingya, and Shi Changxuan. Xie Lingya is trying to persuade Lian Tan to go to the hospital, "I'm vomiting blood, I fell so hard, didn't my ribs break?"

"At that time, I was holding a sword and being an immortal, so I couldn't hurt the root." Lian Tan said.

This matched what Shi Changxuan said at the time, it really was a sword-wielding immortal.

Xie Lingya asked: "Master Liantan, you guys, once you become a sword-wielding fairy, will you automatically become a swordsman?"

Xie Lingya was a little envious, he had learned Taiji sword before, and he usually used the three swords, which were also very common moves. Watching Lian talk about the rabbit's ups and downs, his figure was chic, not at all like an old man.

"How is it possible!" Lian Tan said, "I was self-taught, and I participated in martial arts competitions in my early years. When I was young, let alone ghosts, even seven or eight strong men couldn't get close to me! I can fight fourteen or five for someone like you. indivual!"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya was depressed, and refused to admit defeat, saying, "I am also a strong man!"

Lian talked and laughed without saying a word, and said, "Now that I am old, I can only find a little bit of the feeling of the past when I practice."

Xie Lingya looked to the left, his Spiritual Official's gaze was still there, and he saw the Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Palace were sprinkling water with willow branches.

Looking at the right side, the monks clasped their palms together and recited mantras, and the sandalwood incense wafted up. The ghosts in front of them clasped their palms together and listened to scriptures with their eyes closed.

The muttering curses of the two parties intersected at this moment, but there was no intention of colliding, and each of them saved lives.

The moon had not yet come out, Xie Lingya looked at the sky, and finally felt a little bit of relief in his heart, hoping that these innocent dead could get rid of the suffering they had suffered.Only when there is evil can there be righteousness. There is always danger in this world, but fortunately there are still so many people willing to protect it.

Xie Lingya tilted his head and rested on Shi Chang's overhanging shoulder.

Shi Changxuan turned his face away and put his hands on Xie Lingya's face.

This feeling made Xie Lingya's memories of being suppressed that night come back again.Xie Lingya's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to back away, but for some reason his body froze, maybe his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts.

This time Xie Lingya opened his eyes, he saw Shi Changxuan's eyes, although he didn't look at each other last time, but this time when he saw it, he felt the same as he imagined, it was indescribably strange.

What's in it?With a strange mood, Xie Lingya saw his fingers moved up, put them on his forehead, and wiped away the red cinnabar.

Shi Changxuan looked seriously, wiped most of the cinnabar, stretched out his hand to see, his fingers were also stained with thick deep red.

Xie Lingya could only move at this time, and sat up blankly, "...Thank you?"

Shi Changxuan smiled at him.

Wiping the cinnabar, this seems to be just an ordinary action, but it is just as disturbing as last time.Xie Lingya suddenly felt that the strangeness might not be his illusion, but what exactly was it?

It's time for the Wendao group to leave the Jade Emperor Palace.

Jiang Yuqi has woken up, but his memory is a little damaged, and he is taking medicine to recover. He also told the story of his encounter with a preacher in the urban area.

There are quite a few such strange folk sects. Jiang Yuqi heard a little truth at first, but after a closer look, he realized that it was nonsense.However, he didn't notice at the time that the other party secretly collected his hair and then absorbed his soul.

The case is still under investigation, and there is still no result for a day or two. Xie Lingya told Fang Xushan that this matter has been reported to the higher-level Daoist Association anyway, and if there is a need, he and Shi Chang are obliged to hang up.As for now, they left with the group first.

When I left the Jade Emperor Palace, I was not as relaxed as when I came here, and I still had a little worry about Hongyang Dao.

In the car, members of the questioning group also asked about what happened last night, they vaguely heard the report, but it was not as good as Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan were present at the scene.

Xie Lingya explained it in detail, and also reminded everyone to be careful in the future, and to protect themselves carefully when encountering people suspected of Hongyang Dao.

"It's more convenient for monks to do this. Just do a manicure." Zhang Daoting stroked his beautiful hair, "Although it's hot, I'd better put on my hat."

Xie Lingya: "... makes sense."

……

This road drove to the next stop, and there was another day or two to go, and I got off the car halfway to eat.

Xie Lingya stretched, and received a call from Fang Zhe, "Hello?"

Fang Zhe said, "I sent you the sword."

"Okay, thank you." Xie Lingya said, "I found it inconvenient to go out without a magic weapon."

Xie Lingya was afraid that he might need to use magic tools in the remaining days, so he also told about Hongyang Dao on the phone. Although there is no sign of Hongyang Dao's activities in Fuyang, who knows.

Fang Zhe said shyly: "...Actually, I've been researching mahogany people recently. Combining mechanism and form-replacing techniques, mahogany people can automatically drive magic tools, and I've already achieved some results."

Xie Lingya was surprised. It was said that Lu Ban could build wooden figures and drive cars automatically, and the descendant of "Book of Lu Ban" that Shi Changxuan's parents had met also threatened to study automation of exorcising ghosts.

It seems that this is an unavoidable dream of the descendants of "Book of Luban", and Fang Zhe has also embarked on this road.If it succeeds, wouldn't it be a great help, especially in a situation like the corpse forest.

Xie Lingya praised: "It's amazing. Modern people think it's the obsession of the ancients. How could a wooden man move by itself. Fang Zhe, what magic did you use?"

Fang Zhe: "...rechargeable battery?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Fang Zhe said innocently: "I taught myself the principle of making a robot. I put the device on the mahogany man. The core is actually the surrogate technique. You should know the surrogate technique, right? In this way, the wooden man can replace the operator and use The magic weapon, the magic weapon will recognize it as the main body."

Fortunately, no one else heard it just now. Xie Lingya looked around and said seriously: "Of course I know, what I'm asking about is the surrogate technique! I'll study it with you when I go back!"

Fang Zhe: "Oh..."

Xie Lingya still had lingering fears after hanging up the phone, good guy, it's really hard to guard against.

There are two or three small restaurants in the parking place. This place is very remote, and the restaurants are run by villagers, so they only serve passing vehicles.

The Taoist priests scattered into the restaurant, and Xie Lingya and the others walked into one of them together, and the proprietress enthusiastically brought the menu.While ordering food, a male voice in the back kitchen said in a rough voice: "What are you doing, come and wash the vegetables quickly! You know you are lazy!"

"I'm ordering!" The proprietress quickly responded, and said, "You write it on paper, and I'll come and get it later."

She said, and hurried to the backyard.

It seems that the relationship between the store and the store is not very harmonious. Everyone just had a flash of thought and ordered by themselves, and the proprietress came to take the order again.

"I'd better take a walk, I sat for too long just now." Xie Lingya sat at the dining table for only 2 minutes, but couldn't help standing up, strolling around the house, with his hands on his back.

The proprietress was washing vegetables in the backyard, and when she saw Xie Lingya, she gave him a simple smile.

Xie Lingya also laughed, "I'm walking, my back hurts after sitting for a long time."

"Low pain?" The landlady's smile became more enthusiastic, "Have a cup of tea."

Xie Lingya didn't think much about it yet, "No need, I'm not thirsty."

"No, my tea is herbal tea," the proprietress wiped her hands, stood up and said, "It can cure many diseases."

The faint smile on Xie Lingya's face froze for a moment, and then he said, "What kind of tea can also cure diseases?"

"It was given to me by an eminent monk." The proprietress took out some tea leaves. Xie Lingya didn't know much about tea, so she couldn't tell what kind of tea it was. Man, I feel much better after drinking it."

Xie Lingya thought that the person who yelled at her earlier could not be her husband, so he was speechless for a while, and then said: "What eminent monk sent it? Who taught it?"

"It seems to be Hunyuan sect, not all Buddhism." The proprietress didn't care much, "This tea is really good, and the first pack is free, and it's not expensive."

Isn't the Hunyuan Sect just another name for Hongyang Dao? It seems that people from Hongyang Dao once came to preach here, and some people really liked it.And they confuse the public, and most people think they are authentic Taoist priests and monks.

This is what they are most worried about. Hongyang Dao pretends to be upright, and lures believers with medical treatment and small profits to gain trust, but as time goes by, it is time for them to collect money and practice evil methods.

The tricks of scammers have been changing from ancient times to the present, just like those who deceive the elderly into buying health care products will also give free gifts first.

Xie Lingya wanted to persuade her, but he was afraid of being alarmed, so he asked first, "Do you have the contact information of the Hunyuan sect monk? I want to buy tea."

"Aren't you with those Taoist priests? You also buy monk's tea." The proprietress was surprised, but also happy, "I don't have his contact information, and I heard that he is going to another place. I don't know when he will come again. If he comes Let me inform you. However, if you want to buy tea, don’t you try it first? Just listen to me, aren’t you afraid that I’m a liar! Let me make you a cup.”

"No, no, I can't drink it now." Xie Lingya didn't want to drink it, who knows how the tea is made.The monk has gone to another place, maybe he ran to the place where the Jade Emperor Palace is?It's a pity, I thought I could find someone here.

The proprietress thought for a while and said: "The eminent monk also taught me a cure method, how about I try that for you, you don't need to drink tea, just eat dates."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya: "... What do you eat dates?"

"I've only learned it a few times. I don't know if it works or not. I just use dates to recite a mantra, blow on air, and then you eat the dates." The proprietress said, seeing that Xie Lingya's face was not very good-looking, she said, "Oh, you are young. Do people think this is feudal superstition, but in fact some old prescriptions are really useful, my mother-in-law used to treat people with reeds..."

Xie Lingya said slowly: "I don't think this is a feudal superstition, because it is the unique skill of our ancestor."

Boss lady: "???"

He also gave Xie Lingya dates, and he could give Xie a basket in 10 minutes.

Sazu traveled the world by relying on the thunder and mantras he received. Among them, the mantras were passed down to him by the No. 30 generation Longhushan celestial master. I don’t know how many people were saved, and Sazu completed his medical studies. things that couldn't be done.After being carried forward by him, many Taoist priests also learned this method.

With this cursing method, Hongyang Dao dares to treat it as their thing and use it to buy people's hearts, is it wrong? ?

"Boss, I have to go to the hospital anyway. Also, the husband and wife conflicts need to find the main reason." Xie Lingya said a few words to the boss and then turned around to find someone else. It is best to inform the local government and educate the villagers about crooked ways. .

Xie Lingya thought that the people of Hongyang Dao are really going further and further on the road to death, and his ancestors are really violent, so if you don't believe me, ask the king of ghosts...
