Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya was still dizzy after hanging up the phone. Father Shi asked him what was wrong, and he said slowly, "Someone just broke the donation record...a kind person donated 800 million to us, saying that he wanted to fulfill his wish."

Both Shi Fu and Shi Changxuan were a little surprised, and then Shi Fu smiled and said: "Look, doesn't this prove that Baoyang Temple has great potential."

"I was quite surprised. I asked the donor's name, but I didn't have any impression. It is said that he just came to burn incense." Let's put it this way, the so-called large donation to the Taoist temple was actually a reward for Xie Lingya. Xie Lingya went out to work for others and earned it back.

Ordinary believers burn incense to buy talismans, how can they donate so much sesame oil money when they come back to fulfill their vows.

And just like what Zhang Daoting said, none of their patriarchs blesses people to get rich, so it's strange that this person repays his wish, unless he worships Sanqing.

But all in all, the world is so big that there are no surprises, Xie Lingya is just curious.

Father Shi took Xie Lingya to meet some optimistic people, and talked about their experience of cooperating with the government to establish projects. Although the age is different, there is still some reference value.

Daoist Dai also asked Xie Lingya to pay more attention to marketing. He had heard about the popularity of Baoyang Temple on the Internet because of his attention to Xie Lingya, but it was all spontaneous. Daoist Dai suggested that he should take the initiative.Moreover, this kind of cooperation is not negotiated in a day or two. It may take a long time from the trial to the final confirmation.

Xie Lingya had learned a simple lesson in Changlian. Seeing that it was almost time for the return trip, he thanked Dai Daochang and hurried down the mountain.

When I went back, I ran into the bus driver who came here again. I haven't seen him for a few days. He became much more energetic. He recognized Xie Lingya at a glance, and said enthusiastically: "Little Master, I went up the mountain yesterday and saw you guys." !"

It's just that he couldn't say hello because he was far away. At that time, he thought in his heart, he is worthy of being an expert. With so many Taoist priests present, how could they be on stage.Thinking about it this way, I feel more and more lucky that day.

Xie Lingya also greeted him, took the opportunity to sit in the seat close to the driver, and asked, "Master, you look better."

"Yes, I went to Fucheng God's Temple first, and then went to Changlian's Taiyi Tianzun Hall. I don't know which god blessed me. I slept very well at night." The driver said cheerfully, and looked at Shi Changxuan. He added, "I think the two of you should still wear that...that..."

He didn't know what to call the robes of the two of them for a while, and held back for a few seconds, Xie Lingya was about to speak for him, before he suddenly said: "Uniform! Well, uniform! You look good in uniform!"

Xie Lingya & Shi Changxuan: "..."

Xie Lingya said depressedly, "Master, that's called a cassock."

"It's the uniform of Taoist priests. Only Taoist priests can wear it, right?" the driver said.

Xie Lingya wanted to laugh, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Shi Changxuan also had a little smile in his eyes, but it wasn't because of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but because the driver said they were a good match - he automatically ignored the clothes.

The driver pondered for a while and said, "It's much better looking than that one."

It's not easy to describe, but it's different from the vulgar red and yellow. Shi Changxuan's red dress is very red, and it has a fairy air after adding a crane. The saturation of Xie Lingya's is relatively low, not dazzling, more Elegant, low-key and hidden, the pattern is embroidered with gold and silver thread.

Xie Lingya said seriously: "Hey, the main reason is that we are good-looking."

The driver thought about it: "Yes, yes, yes."

Shi Changxuan: "..."

……

Take the bus first, then the high-speed rail, and when we arrived at Fuyang, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and we had to go back to the Taoist temple.

The subway was out of service at this point. In the taxi, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan were both sitting in the back row. Xie Lingya was originally looking down to play with his mobile phone. When he raised his eyes inadvertently, he saw Shi Changxuan peeping at him from the rearview mirror— —Actually, it’s not considered peeking, after all, the two of them have confirmed their relationship, and they just stared at him quietly.

However, when Shi Changxuan noticed that Xie Lingya looked back, he still looked away a little unnaturally.

Xie Lingya deliberately stabbed into Shi Changxuan's arms, Shi Changxuan panicked for a moment, but soon realized that the taxi driver didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was commonplace to "play around" with passengers in the car, he just stabbed in his arms That's all, nothing.

Shi Changxuan held Xie Lingya's shoulder with one hand, and his waist with the other, hugging Xie Lingya who was moving in a crooked manner.When the car arrived at Baoyang Temple, he reluctantly let go.

Xie Lingya made an appointment with him, and he will not tell the rest of the Taoist temple for the time being, firstly, considering everyone's ability to accept, and secondly, he also wants to wait for the relationship to stabilize.

Therefore, after entering the Taoist temple, the two kept a normal distance.

Knowing that they were coming back, Zhang Daoting went to bed late and waited. He grabbed some vegetables from the vegetable field. Although he doesn't know how to cook, it is still possible to make noodles. Cook the instant noodles in a pot and put the vegetables in it to boil. Serve as a side dish.

As soon as Xie Lingya came back, the ghost king also appeared, the other three ghost kings approached and asked if they could have some instant noodles, Dongfang ghost king said: "Long time no see Xiaoliu, let me say hello."

Xie Lingya drove him away, and asked Zhang Daoting to order a few more packets of noodles, and brought some ghost kings to smell it. He felt very strange, "Didn't you all serve you with good wine and food these days, what's wrong, think Eat instant noodles."

The ghost kings said: "This smells so good!"

They are all old ghosts who have practiced for many years, unlike new ghosts who know what instant noodles taste like, and this is not a regular offering, so they are quite interested.

The ghost kings sucked on the instant noodles, while Zhang Daoting said from the side: "By the way, Mr. Xie, the Daoist Association seems to want to hold a donation ceremony for the donor mentioned during the day, but he also refused, very low-key."

"Really..." Xie Lingya stroked his chin and said, "He doesn't ask for anything, but pays his wish wholeheartedly. He is really a good person."

The King of Ghosts asked while eating noodles, "Has your fortune come?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Lingya asked in a strange tone when he heard them talking, as if he knew it a long time ago, "Do you know anything?"

"Didn't anyone tell you?" Dongfang Ghost King pointed to a certain place and said, "The night before yesterday, some money-making ghosts came to dig, we cleaned them up and forced them to dig back."

Xie Lingya almost spit out his face, "Ahem!"

He said how he suddenly became rich!

Xie Lingya was not around, and Fang Zhe and the others didn't dare to communicate with the gloomy ghost king, so they naturally didn't know about the Five Ghosts Lucky Fortune.

Weak ghosts are afraid of strong ghosts, little ghosts are afraid of big ghosts, and the name "Jian Er" written on the door of the ghost of swordsman can scare away ordinary ghosts.

What is the temper of the ghost kings? Since they enjoy the offerings, they cover the people who embrace the sun. These little ghosts came to offend their majesty, not only beat them up, but also forced them to reverse their spells and bite them back.

——The little ghost alone can't eat Ma Xiaochuan's disciples, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the Sifang ghost king is behind him.

After Xie Lingya asked, he figured out that it should be Ma Xiaochuan. He made money here, and Ma Xiaochuan's side should have lost money, but I don't know in what form, it doesn't necessarily mean that Ma Xiaochuan's money went directly to Baoyang Temple Come on, this is a coincidence, and fortune is very subtle.

Moreover, if Ma Xiaochuan loses money, it may not be a day's work, but he can't hide anyway. Even if he tries his best not to lose money, he may not be able to make any money in the future, and he will be poor for the rest of his life...

"800 million, you really earned a lot of ill-gotten wealth, so I accepted it for the patriarch." Xie Lingya thought about it and said, "Oh, you said that if Cheng Xin's case is settled in the future, they will all Entering the game is not luck."

When everyone thought about it, it was really like this, as if a drink and a peck were already predetermined.

After eating the noodles, Zhang Daoting cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Shi Changxuan put a hand on Xie Lingya's hand as if nothing had happened. Now Zhang Daoting couldn't see it, so he held his little hand.

Sifang Ghost King: "..."

No... Zhang Daoting couldn't see it, but they could! !

The four ghost kings were all stunned. I didn't expect Teacher Xie to be so good at playing. This attitude of not treating them as human beings... Although it is true, don't you think it is a bit too much?

Xie Lingya didn't think about their moods, it's fine to lie to them, is it worth it to lie to ghosts, and if it's the ghost king of Sifang, he doesn't even need to think about their moods, he doesn't care if they accept it or not, they are such big ghosts.

Xie Lingya didn't explain a word, and when Zhang Daoting came out, they let go of their hands lightly.

Zhang Daoting saw the four big men stunned, and asked, "What happened to them?"

The Sifang Ghost King shouted from the bottom of his heart: He just held hands with that little Taoist priest! ! !

Xie Lingya said calmly: "You are too full, you go to rest first, I will send them away."

Zhang Daoting responded honestly, and went back to his room to rest.

Xie Lingya sent away the Sifang Ghost King, who was in a complicated mood, "Thank you for your help these few days, and also moved me a fortune. I am very grateful. But gratitude is gratitude, and you can't gossip about me casually."

He was full of smiles, but the ghost king of Sifang looked at him but did not see it, and quickly slipped away.

Xie Lingya remembered Chairman Dai's suggestion to increase the promotion of the Taoist temple. He was still thinking about what to do, whether he could find an online marketing company, and there was another discussion on the Baoyang Temple on the Internet.

I still have to thank the donor, or indirectly thank Ma Xiaochuan.There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although the donor donated such a large sum of money, although no ceremony was held, the inside reason soon spread.

The donor came by "fulfilling his wish", and there are several theories about how he made his fortune. Some say that he got rich overnight by gambling, some say that he dug a sky-high treasure in the ground, and some say that he made a fortune. The business has hit the big luck, and there are different opinions.Anyway, no matter which one it is, it is related to the concept of holding the sun, and it is said that it was inspired by the gods.

It is also rumored that when this person came to Baoyang Temple to offer incense, he made a wish to the patriarch that if he made money, he would donate a certain percentage.Then after I really got rich, I dreamed about the patriarch Yunyun again——even if he recited silently in his heart, he knew everything about the dream.

The main reason is that Baoyang Temple has already been discussed on the Internet because of the issue of efficaciousness in the previous few times because of the Dharma conference and talismans.This time it was reported that someone was willing to donate 800 million yuan, which immediately brought back memories of netizens.

It's the Baoyang Temple, where the little fox listens to scriptures, the cranes visit the altar, and sells mosquito repellent charms. If it were other Taoist temples, most people might only think that rich people have willful beliefs. Look, everyone can't help discussing it.

What kind of posture did this person use to make a wish to succeed?Baoyang Temple is so spiritual, should I also go to worship it?

At this time, a new saying became popular, that is, Baoyang Temple actually exorcised evil spirits for the believer, so he donated so much money without hesitation. This was not actually a wish, but a thank you.

"True spirit or hype? Is it true that you donated 800 million yuan?"

"How much money is a fool..."

"What should I do if I'm a little tempted? I'm in Queshan Province. I can go to Fuyang on weekends and have a drink of tea. May God bless me to get rich too?"

"Huh? So superstitious?"

"To be honest, I always felt that this Taoist temple has no background. You said the scenery is good, but I went to see it in person. It is obviously in a busy market, and there is a vegetable market around it, so the picture is so interesting. It's not about using foxes to show cuteness. It’s a product like mosquito repellent talisman, which seems to deceive elementary school students, oh, and there are a few good-looking Taoist priests, who have never heard of this place before, um...it feels like a superficial, not a reliable Taoist temple.”

"I'm sorry, I only saw that you said you were in a downtown area? What the hell is Baoyang Temple in a downtown area?"

"What?? Downtown? I don't believe it!"

……

Although it's a bit crooked, a certain statement has been recognized by many people. I always feel that there is a sense of frivolity like an Internet celebrity, and I haven't seen anything serious.

As a result, at this time, someone dug up the video and photos of the World Peace Ceremony on Changle Mountain. s face.

They had shown their faces before, so after comparing them, and looking for the statement in the press release, they knew that they represented Baoyang Temple to participate in the Fa Conference, and they also stood with the main Dharma Gao Gong to assist.

For a moment, those frivolous remarks seemed like a joke.What kind of informal and powerless small Taoist temple, can it be invited up?Looking at the stage, apart from Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan, the other priests are at least middle-aged.

So many people discussing Baoyang Temple are basically laymen, and the discussion about whether it is effective or not is also very pale, but these screenshots and photos show that Baoyang Temple is quite famous in the Taoist circle despite its small area. The professional level of Taoist priests is very high, and they don't just rely on selling tea and cuteness.

If you still don’t think it’s enough, remember that one of them doesn’t seem to be a Taoist priest—someone called the Provincial Road Association to inquire, and you can hear a clear answer. It is a Taoist priest specially invited by the president, and he also has a family background. Special reminder, everyone can also follow the WeChat public account of Baoyang Temple.

After looking up the meaning of Taoist priests offering wine, and then following this clue to find the WeChat account of Baoyang Temple, you can find that half of the readers of their WeChat articles are to see the real photos, and the other half are all Taoists, laymen and other Taoists circles.

Ordinary netizens like to read daily science popularization with pictures, while experts like to express their opinions under "Baoyang Notes".

It is not difficult to see from the collection of these remarks that they fully approve of "Baoyang Notes".Moreover, there are quotations and classics in it. Whether you look at it at first glance or search sentence by sentence, there is nothing wrong with it. It is definitely dry goods.

"I'll go and see who this is? I googled it if I thought it looked familiar." Someone even found a Taoist Zhang XX in the message. After checking the name, the contemporary Longhushan Zhang Tianshi...

Other Taoists may not know what their status is. Judging by the number of messages, it is very bluffing, but who doesn’t know about Longhushan Zhang Tianshi? Maoshan, Longhushan, and Zhang Tianshi are all signs of Taoism.

You can forcefully explain that other Taoist priests are talking about each other in business. There is no need for such a big sign of Longhushan, right?The president of the Provincial Road Association also didn't need to give a small Taoist temple such face for no reason.

This time, there are really no objections, and all doubts can enter the dog's stomach.

Baoyang Temple was not well-known before, maybe it was just that the majority of netizens did not understand Taoism, but now there are solid evidence in front of them, not only is it not frivolous, but also very "stable", put so many notes, and corrected the mistakes in some professional books .

You can't judge a Taoist priest by his appearance just because he looks good, thinking that he is a vase, right?

This reversal, although it may be suspected of going off the topic, it can be regarded as a complete promotion of the concept of embracing the sun.

……

Taking advantage of this limelight, Xie Lingya also opened the official Weibo of Baoyang Temple, and moved the error correction chapter of "Baoyang Notes" and some photos of Zhang Daoting to Weibo.

A large number of netizens of Baoyang Temple just finished the eighth day poured into the official blog of Baoyang Temple, calling on the official blog to post more photos of the other two priests who participated in the World Peace Dharma Conference. Zhang Daoting put enough photos.

Some netizens noticed with sharp eyes that under the first Weibo of Baoyang Temple, the account certified as the official blog of Donglin Temple actually congratulated Baoyang Temple for entering Weibo.

Donglin Temple is the ancestral home of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism, and it is quite a large temple. Of course, without mentioning the scale, it is scary to say that it is a Buddhist temple and come here to have a relationship with the Taoist temple.What's happening here?

Netizens who were famous detectives left messages to inquire, and began to flip through Donglin Temple's Weibo. Netizens with good memories really found clues.

A picture of an old monk giving a lecture, and the accompanying text on Weibo introduced that this is Master Lian Tan of Donglin Temple.

"I said it looked familiar. When I saw him, I completely remembered it. This was not the monk who was beaten up by Taoist priests a few months ago. I compared it. Among those Taoist priests, there are people who embrace the view of the sun [laughs] cry] doesn’t seem to be surprised…”

——At the beginning, Xie Lingya went out with the Tuyang Daoist Group, and ran into Lian Tan in the city where the Jade Emperor Palace was located. A group of Taoist priests returned his cell phone, which was photographed by passers-by and circulated on Weibo.

But at that time, everyone only looked at the formation, and did not study the characters inside.

After many days, the case was solved.Lian Tan's face is very obvious, and when the picture is enlarged, the faces of Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan can be clearly seen. It's not a big front, but they are definitely recognizable.

"I'm going hahahahaha awesome, are you all Sherlock Holmes? You can find out all of this!"

"Laughing to death, what does this mean, don't you know each other if you don't fight?"

"I just said, why do temples and temples still have friendship??"

"I'm convinced, I turned around this picture before, but I didn't expect it."

At this time, the official blog of Donglin Temple came late, and finally replied to everyone, explaining the situation: "A few months ago, our temple worked hand in hand with Baoyang Temple, Yuhuang Palace and other temples to crack down on illegal cults. The scene in the picture is not a siege , but the priests picked up the mobile phone of the master of this temple and returned it to him."

There is still news about Hongyang Dao's affairs, because the dens are actually in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, so it's not surprising that Buddhism and Taoism are involved.There are a few sentences mentioned in the report, which can support the words of the official blog of Donglin Temple.

In this way, it does make sense.

"I died laughing, I returned my phone, so I was talking about pictures?"

"But just looking at the picture is really like looking for trouble! You are different!"

"I burst out laughing, it turned out to be like this!"

"Look at the forwarding back then, so what did everyone expect at the beginning..."

"To tell you the truth, I have been using this picture with 'Cover my bald head and tremble' as an emoticon pack for several months. I know the truth so I can't bear it."

"It's okay, you can continue to use it by changing the word to 'We are all one family'."

……

It has been so lively for a long time, in addition to contributing more jokes and emoticons for everyone, the attention of the official blog of Baoyangguan has also increased. It can also be said that the accumulation of previous incidents has exploded.

At this time, a live broadcast platform also approached Xie Lingya, wanting to cooperate.

They hope to be able to live broadcast the ceremony of Baoyang Temple once, and if the effect is good, they also hope to cooperate for a long time in the future.

Xie Lingya follows the Wendao group, and has seen live broadcasts of Buddhist rituals in other Taoist temples. This is also the current trend. Many Taoist temples have also launched WeChat remote incense.Believers who were unable to go to the venue participated in the ceremony through their mobile phones.

Of course, this live broadcast platform is obviously not to help them communicate with believers in the new media era, but simply wants to take advantage of the popularity for a live broadcast.

But no matter what their purpose is, it is always an opportunity to look at Baoyang, especially when Xie Lingya is interested in seeking investment.

The only thing he considered was that he was afraid that if he was inexperienced and the live broadcast effect would not be good, he would smash his own signboard instead, and asked the docking staff of the platform with a little hesitation, "Our Taoist temple has never done such an event, I am more worried, Can you let me think about it again, I'm afraid it won't work.”

The other party quickly persuaded: "Of course it's okay to think about it, but Mr. Xie, you have to have confidence in your face!"

Xie Lingya: "???"
