Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya prepared some sacrifices, offered them to the patriarch, and then gave him a detailed account of the matter between himself and Shi Changxuan, looking at the flickering incense head, he felt a little funny.

This time, he couldn't figure out the detailed meaning of the rice cup and incense, and the most anxious person was probably the Patriarch, "Otherwise, you can tell me about it in a dream at night, so don't just stick your middle finger up and say nothing."

Xie Lingya chattered a few more words, the burning speed of the incense finally slowed down, the patriarch probably also digested the news slowly, and was no longer so eager.

Xie Lingya: "Master Patriarch, I'm not ashamed to tell my uncle, do you think I can succeed?"

The Xinjiao cup throws out two dark sides, the laughing cup proves that the patriarch has not made up his mind either.

Xie Lingya: "Then do you think my uncle will be satisfied with Shi Changxuan? Disciples are different from those after all, and my uncle seems to have never expressed his views on these things, so I don't know what his attitude is."

Still a joke.

Xie Lingya: "That's it, so should I say it sooner or later? Before or behind the others, should I bring Shi Changxuan with me?"

The rice cup cracked again.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya muttered to himself: "What does this mean, you think I'm annoying or you don't like us?"

Fortunately, Xie Lingya not only bought a pair, he took out another pair and asked solemnly, "Am I bothered?"

One face of the rice cup and the other reverse, revealing the holy grail, so the cup was allowed, and the patriarch approved it.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Oh, I'm so annoying.

But this attitude has changed too quickly. He was so excited when he was about to tell the story before, but now he is annoyed when he makes up his mind after listening to it.

The gods are really hard to serve.

……

"How is it?" Bao Yuesheng asked the person on the other end of the phone impatiently.

"...Boss, I'm sorry, he refused to sell." Qu Ming said aggrievedly, "He kicked me out directly, and asked who ordered me to do so."

"What do you mean by buying? What do you mean by asking!" Bao Yuesheng said angrily, "I didn't mean to say that you must be pious, otherwise how could they give you the statue, how could they not see the problem."

Qu Ming called out: "I was really sincere. At first he agreed, and then he said he would go to divination, and then he would take my pulse when he came back. After the pulse was done, it was wrong."

Bao Yuesheng was so angry that he didn't want to mention it again, so he pressed the microphone and hung up the call.

What should I do now, I can't invite the King Lingguan... Can these at home be useful?

Bao Yuesheng looked around. His room was impressively enshrined with Guanyin statues, Buddha statues, Guan Gong, Taiyi Tianzun and other gods and Buddhas, all of which were consecrated gods from major temples and Taoist temples.

Even the door was pasted with a golden statue of the door god.

All I can say is, talk is better than nothing.

Bao Yuesheng closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then sent a message to his subordinates, asking them to think of a way, please ask the relationship, and make sure to invite the statue back.

Then, Bao Yuesheng called Ma Xiaochuan over again.

Ma Xiaochuan's face was blue and gray, and he was not in a good mood. The sun at noon seemed unable to warm his body.

"President Bao, are you here?" Ma Xiaochuan also had a glimmer of hope.

Bao Yuesheng shook his head, "He seems to know that there is someone behind Qu Ming."

Ma Xiaochuan was a little depressed for a while, "The spirit officer of Baoyang Temple is extremely effective. The statue has sat in the temple and enjoyed incense for a long time, and it is the best choice. More importantly, the spirit officer guarding the gate is the most suitable for the situation. If If you don't invite them, it will be dangerous..."

Bao Yuesheng was a little annoyed, "Is it really so hanging?"

Ma Xiaochuan nodded, and then sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get the statue of the Lingguan for a while, so let me arrange the transfiguration first."

Ma Xiaochuan's Xingxing technique is different from Pei Xiaoshan's nine-section Xiangyang bamboo. He uses a more traditional Xingxing technique. He cuts bamboo into a human form, draws a spell, writes the birth date, and then uses gold foil and silver foil to form a human figure. Wrap it in a layer and bury it in the flower pot.Finally, curse it.

Bao Yuesheng felt restless when he saw that the skull technique was broken, and the clues to the murder case of that year also surfaced, and the case was formally opened for investigation. He was extremely troubled because of this, and he had to deal with the police, trying to figure out how to get rid of the crime, and because Ma Xiaochuan said he was afraid Wronged souls are demanding their lives, and they are looking for ways to protect themselves everywhere.

"Honey." A sweet voice came, and the young woman with a bulging belly walked into the living room holding her waist, "A few little sisters invited me out for afternoon tea, and I'll go for three hours, is that okay?"

Ma Xiaochuan on the side said without thinking, "Be sure not to go out until the child is born."

Bao Yuesheng nodded.

The lover was a little aggrieved and said: "Just have an afternoon tea, you'll be fine, I'll bring bodyguards..."

Bao Yuesheng was a little angry. He didn't tell his lover about these private matters, so she didn't know that it was very difficult to keep the child, let alone something like this happened now. She suppressed her anger before saying to the pregnant woman, " Be obedient. Which restaurant do you want to have afternoon tea in? I'll invite the chef over."

"Forget it." The lover pouted, turned and left, and glanced at Ma Xiaochuan before leaving, his eyes were not very kind.

Ma Xiaochuan had no choice but to laugh it off. They took Bao Yuesheng's money and desperately protected the child who could not be born because the father was too wicked, but the child's mother didn't appreciate it at all.

Bao Yuesheng made a point: "Go slowly!"

The pregnant woman, who was already slow enough, paused, touched the wall with her hand, and walked even slower.

Even so, Bao Yuesheng was still a little uneasy, and this uneasiness haunted him until night fell.

Bao Yuesheng's lover is so old, he is careful everywhere, the two of them no longer share the same bed, but there is a door in the middle of the bedroom that can be opened at any time.

Bao Yuesheng went to comfort his pregnant lover again at night, talked to his stomach for a while, and then went back to his room.

He stood by the window and watched for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a few dark shadows outside the gate, whose faces could not be seen clearly from too far away, but made him tremble involuntarily, and quickly closed the curtains.

Bao Yuesheng thought about it and opened the curtains to look again. The shadow was gone. He comforted himself in his heart that there were door gods at home, and there were so many statues of gods and Buddhas. Moreover, Ma Xiaochuan had already used the surrogate technique to eliminate the disaster for him. It is impossible to find him himself.

——It was also at this time that those black shadows came to the gate of his house, and brought out an edict from the underworld in front of the gleaming door god: There are orders from the underworld, and the wronged souls are ordered to take revenge. Open the door of convenience!

……

Bao Yuesheng lay on the bed, his mind was disturbed for a while, and then he fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed, Bao Yuesheng woke up with a burst of pain, covered his head and rolled over on the bed a few times.

It hurts so much!It's like something is stirring inside the head!

Bao Yuesheng has lived for so many years, but he has never felt such pain. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the hair on his forehead was wet in an instant.

How can it be so painful?

Bao Yuesheng struggled to turn on the light. At this time, another sharp pain hit his head. Bao Yuesheng screamed, and his head hit the head of the bed hard, making a thud.

This feeling seemed to be able to fight poison with poison, slightly distracting people from the excruciating pain. Bao Yuesheng grabbed the head of the bed and hit his head hard again.

It hurts, it really hurts, my head is about to burst...

"Honey, what's the matter with you, honey?" The lover opened the door and walked over holding his stomach, with a panicked expression on his face.

Bao Yuesheng bumped his head ferociously, like crazy, his forehead was bruised, and there were still a few traces of blood. This crazy look made her a little afraid to approach.

Bao Yuesheng had no time to take care of it, he just bumped his head hard, "It hurts so much!!"

The miserable voice made her lover feel cold all over for no reason, so he hurriedly called for someone.

Bao Yuesheng rolled over and rolled out of bed, pulling down the curtain nervously, trying to distract himself, but it was in vain.

"Honey..." The lover took a few steps back with tears in his eyes.

Bao Yuesheng looked at her with red eyes, "Don't, don't be afraid, don't scare the child..."

The lover touched her stomach, and found a little familiarity from his expression. The concern for the child made her feel relieved, "My dear, why do you suddenly have a headache, you put it on."

She picked up a pillow, trying to cushion Bao Yuesheng.

Bao Yuesheng grabbed the pillow tightly, his eyes suddenly drifted to his lover's belly, "What is that?!"

Under the pale yellow bedroom light he saw, the stomach of the lover in the white nightgown twitched a few times, as if revealing the shape of a skeleton!

Bao Yuesheng threw the pillow away suddenly, took a few big steps back, and hit the edge of the bed, with a frightened expression on his face, "Ah—ah——"

He was so horrified that he couldn't organize his words, and his head was still hurting, so he could only point to his lover's stomach and scream meaninglessly.

The lover almost couldn't stand still because of his movements, and fell into panic again, leaning on the wall and looking at him in fear: "What..."

Fortunately, the bedroom door was pushed open at this time, and the family doctor rushed in with people to give Bao Yuesheng a painkiller injection.

Bao Yuesheng pointed at his lover and said, "She... catch her quickly, you can't keep what's in her stomach!"

...It must be that the proxy spell has failed. Those ghosts not only found him, but also attached to his child. The stomach is full of skulls!

Bao Yuesheng's expectations for this old man are well known. When he said such words suddenly, everyone was inexplicably shocked, especially his lover, tears fell down, "What's wrong with you!"

Everyone saw that Bao Yuesheng was not in the right state, and they didn't dare to do anything too much. That was Bao Yuesheng's child.After they exchanged glances, they invited the pregnant woman out of the room.

"You can't stay! Do you know?!" Bao Yuesheng clutched the family doctor's hand tightly, with veins popping out of his head.

At this time, Ma Xiaochuan, who came late outside the door, happened to meet Bao Yuesheng's lover, and seeing her tearful, her face was not very good-looking.

The lover glanced at Ma Xiaochuan, didn't care to vent his anger on him, and walked away covering his mouth.

As soon as Ma Xiaochuan entered the room, Bao Yuesheng immediately said to him: "My head hurts! They are here, they are looking for me! And there is a skull in her stomach!"

The family doctor's hair stood on end when he heard it, and the movements of his hands froze for a moment.

"What kind of pain method?" Ma Xiaochuan asked seriously.

Bao Yuesheng stroked his head, which was slowly disappearing from painkillers, closed his eyes and murmured: "It seems to be splitting, from the inside of the head, every place hurts, spreading to my eye sockets, teeth...It hurts... ..."

That kind of pain made him tremble even when he recalled it.

Ma Xiaochuan's face twisted for a moment, and suddenly he leaned over to pick up something from his pillow, and said, "Isn't it, like a plant has taken root in his head."

Bao Yuesheng paused, opened his eyes, his eyes fell on his hands, and his pupils shrank instantly.

It was a leaf with a very familiar shape. There were many such plants in Bao Yuesheng's garden.

And under those plants, several skulls were once buried.

——In an instant, the appearance of countless plant roots clinging to the skull, protruding from the black eye sockets and mouth holes, appeared in Bao Yuesheng's mind.

That's right, of course he knows the principle of the skull technique. Plants are planted on the skulls that trap the living souls. Then when the plants grow, the rhizomes will pass through the skulls, tormenting those living souls in agony. At one's disposal.After years and months, I can't get rid of it.

However, he had never imagined what kind of pain it was, and only now did he realize that it could break him down in less than half an hour.

Not directly claiming life, but retaliation?

So how long is this torture going to last?

Bao Yuesheng's face was so distorted that it was not human-like, and his heart was torn apart, "No——"

Seeing his appearance, Ma Xiaochuan felt uneasy, and took a step back, only to see another leaf fluttering from nowhere in the room with closed windows, brushing against his face, and his expression changed drastically.

Xie Lingya was on the phone with Ning Wanlai, and heard him reveal that the Yin Division had issued an order to allow those souls who died under the Skull Technique to return to the world for revenge, and sent a messenger to follow.He is still an experienced old errand, most of the ways in the world cannot be hidden from him.

"I just said... Someone came here again today, and interceded with the leaders of the relevant departments, hoping to ask our old statue to go." Xie Lingya said clearly, "I did a fortune-telling later, and it was probably Bao Yuesheng's instigation of."

"Mr. Xie, the rich and the noble cannot be promiscuous, the poor and the humble cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be subdued!" Ning Wanlai said.

"I need you to remind me." Xie Lingya said seriously, "You can handle the case at ease. Don't talk about it, I have something else to do."

When Ning Wanlai heard that he had something to do, he naturally didn't dare to disturb him, so he hung up the phone quickly.

Xie Lingya stood up and straightened his hair in front of the mirror. He made an appointment with Shi Changxuan today.The two usually have classes or are busy in the Taoist temple. Although they spend a lot of time together, and even sleep in the same bed at night, there is really no chance to go out on a serious date.

Even now, the Taoist temple is closed, and Xie Lingya has finished his homework before going out. It is already past eight o'clock.

The two went to see a movie, then pressed the road side by side, and started talking about the horror movie they just watched.

"Don't say it's scary, people's imagination is much scarier than real ghosts." Xie Lingya said with emotion.

Shi Changxuan rarely complained: "There are loopholes."

"You mean the Taoist priest?" Xie Lingya laughed, "This is probably inevitable, and the production team may not be able to find a Taoist priest who can really exorcise ghosts."

The two unknowingly walked to the vicinity of the Fuyang Gymnasium, and saw this point. There were quite a lot of people near the gymnasium, and it was very lively. Most of them were young people, all dressed exaggeratedly, holding lamp cards, hand banners, etc. things.

"Well, is there a concert today?" Xie Lingya glanced, "Hey, just in time, I feel like going to the toilet, let's go inside."

They walked into the gymnasium. It was the end of the concert, and there were many people queuing up for the toilets, even the men's toilets.

"Our school held a sports meeting here before, I remember there is a toilet upstairs." Xie Lingya simply walked to the elevator.

Fuyang Gymnasium plus the basement floor has a total of six floors, and Xie Lingya goes directly to the highest floor.

Shi Changxuan was waiting for him at the door, there was no one here, it was very quiet.

Xie Lingya washed his hands and wiped them as he walked out. Looking down from the window, there were many spectators who were leaving the show below, and the light sticks in their hands were flickering. It looked like a river from above.

"Let's come to the concert next time." Xie Lingya said with a smile, "It's pretty lively."

Most of the things they do together are different from ordinary couples, so don't have a feeling of cherishing, even if the road is pressed here, they are still reluctant to go back.

"En." Shi Changxuan held Xie Lingya's hand, and inserted his fingers between his fingers, like a gentle aggression, interlocking his fingers, then pushed the elevator open, and walked tenderly——

As soon as the elevator door opened, the two of them saw a man standing in the corner with a face as white as paper and without blood. His eyes were mostly white and less dark. Obviously, he could not be called a man, but should be called a male ghost.

Suddenly seeing that Xie Lingya was unprepared, his heart skipped a beat.

"...Dating is like this." Xie Lingya slowed down and complained secretly.

Shi Changxuan was also a little speechless, the two looked at each other, and walked into the elevator as if they couldn't see the male ghost.

Because of the structure of the elevator shaft, some newly-dead ghosts are still confused, and may think that this is the way to the underworld. This is also the reason why there are no eighteen floors in many places, lest ghosts go wrong.

On a good day, Xie Lingya didn't want to deal with ghosts anymore, so he stood inside and stared at the floor numbers as if nothing had happened.

The elevator stopped on the third floor. Before the door opened, Xie Lingya heard the noise from outside. Maybe some audience members ran to the upper floor to go to the bathroom.

Xie Lingya frantically pressed the close button. This ghost thought he was going to the underworld, so he showed his figure. It's fine for him and Shi Changxuan to see it. Ordinary people can't be scared to death if they see it!

The elevator door opened a little and then closed quickly. At this time, a light board came in and blocked the door. "Hey, what are you closing! Did you see anyone?"

Xie Lingya's face darkened, this ghost didn't intend to scare people, so how to appease both parties...

The elevator door was blocked and opened again, revealing five or six young people outside, some men and women, some with purple hair, some with gray hair, all wearing strange makeup, and some wearing red contact lenses , or those who wear white contact lenses in one eye, or even draw bloodstains on their faces.

They all held all kinds of support items in their hands, the most exaggerated one, wearing a small vest, the cleavage was almost exposed, and a string of colored lights wrapped around their bodies, like a Christmas tree, probably trying to attract the attention of their idols.

These exaggerated youths only glanced at the male ghost in the corner, then looked away indifferently, and stood in the elevator.

"..." Xie Lingya watched the eerie ghost in the corner where these people couldn't see, and stood in.

One of the girls whose lips were also painted purple complained to Xie Lingya: "Handsome, why are you so anxious to close the door?"

Xie Lingya was speechless, before saying after a long while: "...Today is a rock concert, isn't it?"

This makes sense, the appearance of that male ghost is much weaker than theirs!No wonder they can't scare people!

Worry for nothing! !

"Yeah, didn't you come to the concert?"

"Today is Liberty's concert! I came here specially from other places!"

"Oh, I seem to have heard the name of this band, it's quite popular recently." Xie Lingya responded dryly, "The song is not bad."

He thought to himself, if the two are irrelevant, nothing will happen, it's just a few floors, just get out of the elevator...

"Of course, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," these fans got excited again, "Musong sings really well, okay, I'm so hilarious——"

As the word "explosion" landed, the elevator stopped suddenly!

Everyone froze and almost lost their footing.After the lights flickered a few times, the elevator room was plunged into darkness, only the lights of the light boards, colored lights, and fluorescent sticks remained, and the display screen was blank.

"Fuck, the elevator is broken?"

The excited fans let out a howl.

Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan's heart skipped a beat, they turned their heads to see the male ghost standing in the corner with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Quick press for emergency help." Someone reached out to press the button.

After pressing it, there was no other response, but the words reappeared on the display screen, and the number representing the number of floors jumped rapidly, and finally stopped at "18".

……

Everyone froze, are you kidding me, where did the [-]th floor of the Fuyang Gymnasium come from?

The atmosphere in the originally noisy elevator was a bit weird, no matter how big-hearted they were, seeing this number with a certain meaning in traditional Chinese culture made them uncomfortable.Even if the elevator is broken, it's too bad luck!

Xie Lingya tilted his head weakly and leaned on Shi Changxuan's shoulder beside him, thinking sadly, I just want to make an appointment safely.

Shi Changxuan hugged his shoulder with one hand, and patted him reassuringly.

The face of the girl next to her was glowing green under the light, and she said faintly: "Handsome guy, you guys are all so over the top, you still have to show your affection at this time..."
