Part-Time Taoist Priest

The obedient dragon swayed in the air a few times, twisted it around, entangled Xie Lingya's fingers, and rubbed his head on them, as if acting coquettishly or begging for mercy.

Xie Lingya pinched the tip of its tail resentfully. The current situation really does not allow Xie Lingya to educate it anymore, so he only complained a few words.

Xiaoliang next to him heard it, and advised him weakly: "Forget it, Mr. Xie, it's just a newcomer, I don't know how fierce you are... powerful, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya felt relieved after thinking about it, stood up and said, "Let's go back first."

Because he didn't know whether these things would be useful, Xie Lingya used the bag that originally contained the ceremonial utensils to pack up the internal organs and dough figurines. At this time, a taxi drove by, and Xie Lingya reached out to stop the taxi.

The taxi slowed, the windows rolled down, the driver poked his head out to look at them, then sped up like hell, stepped on the gas and slipped away.

——Guo Xing was covered in blood all over his head and face. Anyone who saw him should not think it was the scene of a murder.

There was no other way, Xie Lingya had no choice but to tell Guo Xing to hide, he got into the car by himself, and then let him come from the dark.

The driver was holding the steering wheel leisurely, looked at the bag in Xie Lingya's hand and asked him what kind of meat he bought, the smell was really strong.

At this time, a man with blood on his face and chest jumped into the car, and the driver screamed in fright.

He looked in the rearview mirror and found that it wasn't Guo Xing's blood, so he was still shivering: "My buddy, I'm about to take over, you should find another car."

"What shift do you have at this point?" Guo Xing was also in a very bad mood, and said depressedly, "Don't be afraid, this is cow's blood."

Only then did the driver breathe a sigh of relief, "Hey... You said it earlier, I thought it was like this."

Guo Xing: "This is near the police station. I am not crazy to fight here."

Seeing that Xie Lingya still had a bag containing viscera in his hand, the driver was completely relieved.

Xie Lingya sat in the co-pilot, Guo Xing and Xiaoliang sat in the back row, and went to Jingui Pedestrian Street just like that. Xie Lingya didn't dare to say that they were holding the sun. The impact of this bloody body was too bad.

Cha...cha...

There was the sound of plastic bags being squeezed.

Guo Xing, who was looking out of the window depressed, suddenly felt his scalp go numb, and turned to look at Xie Lingya, Xiao Liang also became nervous.

Xie Lingya looked down and saw that the hands of the man with the face of Lingga were moving. Shi Changxuan said that there are many ghosts in a Lingga, and maybe some of them are still alive...

Xie Lingya was not afraid, he strangled that Lingga's neck through the plastic bag without hesitation.

The driver asked casually: "Why, there are still living things inside?"

Lingga struggled in Xie Lingya's hand, as if going crazy, causing the driver to shrink back in fear, "What the hell!"

Xie Lingya didn't have time to answer, he grabbed Lingga hard and drew a talisman with his other hand.

In the next second, Lingga suddenly exerted force and flicked forward!

"Snapped!"

It got out of Xie Lingya's hand, but because of the obstruction of the car window, it smashed on the car window. With the sound, the cow blood inside splashed again, flowed out of the plastic bag, and a big blood flower bloomed on the car window flower.

This Lingga was originally a flashback, but this time it fell apart and was caught by Xie Lingya with both hands.

Seeing that the driver was already stunned, "..."

……

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xie Lingya paid for the car wash and led the two of them out of the car.

The driver's face was very ugly. Although Xie Lingya told him that it was a bamboo rat with a big and wild body, but when he observed it carefully later, he vaguely felt that the thing inside was hard, not like an animal.

This is too evil at night, a strange creature, three young men, one of them is covered in blood, and the thing wrapped in cloth on the back beside him looks a bit like a weapon now...

The driver didn't dare to say it out. In fact, if Xie Lingya didn't give him the money, he didn't dare to ask for the car wash fee. After taking the money, he ran away as if fleeing for his life. He thought that tomorrow he would go to the Baoyang Temple, which was said to be very spiritual, to pay homage and avoid bad luck. alright.

"Let's go." It's not very far away from Baoyang Temple, and Xie Lingya didn't want to harm the other drivers, so he simply walked back with Guo Xing and Xiaoliang.

After knocking on the door, it was Zhang Daoting who came to open the door, and he was taken aback by their appearance.

Not to mention Guo Xing, the smash just now, even Xie Lingya's face and body were splashed with a little blood, just now walking all the way, many pedestrians ran away in a far away.

Xie Lingya went in and hurriedly put his things on the ground, then took Guo Xing to take a shower, found his own clothes and changed for him.

When he came out again, Shi Changxuan was already squatting on the ground studying Lingga's "body".

It was still unclear from the video, and it was night again, only now did Shi Changxuan see clearly that this Lingga was made bigger than ordinary Lingga, he pinched a small piece and smelled it under his nose, and said: " This is probably made in the Central Plains."

"How to say?" Xie Lingya came over, moved a small bench and sat down and asked.

"We have to start from the beginning," Shi Changxuan showed him the small piece of noodles, "killing Lingga is part of the rituals of Qiangmu. Qiangmu is a unique Buddhist activity in Tibetan areas. The masters merged and created. The production of Lingga is made of ghee and tsampa—that is, highland barley wheat flour. But this one is not made of tsampa, nor is it used in the Tibetan area to use the unique plants there. stained with blood."

Xie Lingya frowned and said, "Then is there a way to find out who cast the spell?"

Shi Changxuan thought about it: "Each school of Esoteric Buddhism and even each temple has different Qiangmu rituals, and the method of making Lingga is also different. Most schools make Lingga into human form, and a few make it into rats and other things. Abominable animal. Perhaps asking about it will give us a clue."

This evil Lingga came straight to Xie Lingya, he didn't think it was a chance encounter, it was more like targeting him, so of course he had to find out who it was.

"Okay, let's inquire again tomorrow." Xie Lingya pondered in his heart, lifted the bag again, and asked, "How to solve this?"

Xie Lingya, the ghost in Lingga, was beheaded and then suppressed, but how to deal with it next, he was afraid that something might go wrong because the two religions behaved differently.

Shi Changxuan only said that he would study the materials again. Although he has covered a lot, it is impossible for him to understand every religious sect in such detail.

"Oh... what about these intestines and viscera." Xie Lingya said, "Can you still eat them?"

Everyone who was listening nervously: "???"

Guo Xing yelled: "Mr. Xie, how do you eat this!"

Zhang Daoting also said nervously: "Actually, we don't need to save so much..."

Now the economy in the church is far less tense!

Shi Changxuan said dryly: "The internal organs and blood are put in so that blood will flow out during the beheading ceremony. These should be clean, but it is not recommended to eat them, because they are somewhat contaminated with evil spirits."

"I just think it's weird, and it's even worse if it breaks when it's left here for disposal." Xie Lingya defended, but everyone looked a little sad and angry, thinking that Teacher Xie deliberately messed with them again.

After this encounter, Guo Xing's mind was extremely hurt, he didn't dare to sleep alone at night, and went to squeeze with Xiaoliang.

Seeing him like that, Xie Lingya probably thought again about whether he should inherit the Lushan method.

Xie Lingya also went to rest by himself, and before going to bed, he whispered to Shi Changxuan, don't let him know who troubled him again, and in such a disgusting way.

……

The next day, Xie Lingya got up and called the Religious Affairs Bureau, hoping to get the contact information of the Tantric people and ask some questions from them.

The Religious Affairs Bureau knew that he was in charge of Baoyang Temple and also knew his relationship with Lian Tan, and said, "You can ask Abbot Lian Tan about this. As soon as the temple in the scenic spot opened, a monk from Tantra came to visit. They They are friends. Moreover, Abbot Lian Tan used to be in Donglin Temple, and he communicated with many other sects, so he has quite a lot of contacts in the Buddhist circle."

When Xie Lingya heard this, he thought it was too coincidental, so there are people of Tantric Buddhism in Fuyang now?

A strange feeling flashed in Xie Lingya's heart, but it should be just a coincidence. He asked the monk's name, and confirmed that he didn't know him, and the monk stayed in other provinces all year round.

But because of this news, Xie Lingya called Lian Tan again and told him what happened last night.

When Lian Tan heard that Xie Lingya was attacked by Lingga, she was even more surprised than him, and immediately said that he wanted to notify his friend.

Lian Tan’s friend is a monk of the Nyingma Sect of Esoteric Buddhism. The Nyingma Sect is commonly known as the Red Sect. Their ashram is the Samye Monastery, and Master Rinpoche created the Qiang Mu in the Samye Monastery, so their Qiang Mu is in the same line. .He himself has participated in many Qiangmu ceremonies and knows it well.

This monk is called Liecuo. He has visited other Buddhist temples in the Mainland for many times. It is said that he has also commented on advanced monks who are patriotic and law-abiding. He is very good at learning Chinese.

Xie Lingya took Lingga out, and together with Shi Changxuan, Guo Xing, and Xiaoliang, met Liecuo and Lian Tan in a hotel. Help yourself to refer to the details.

Lian Tan brought the young disciple out, but only told him to wait outside, and introduced Lietuo and Xie Lingya to each other inside, and then looked at the Lingga, and recognized him, "This is not made of tsampa."

Liecuo took out a triangular iron box from his bag, put Lingga on it, and then began to explain: "Lingga can't be placed casually, it should be placed in a special container."

It may be a box, it may be a shelf, a plate, but it must be a triangle.

"We have the four karmas of interest, increase, embrace, and punishment. Each karma has a different shape. The punishment karma is a triangle, which means to suppress and surrender, and it means to suppress ghosts and monsters.In this way, it can be beheaded in a ceremony. "

After Lietsuo finished explaining, he said distressedly again: "But, this is not right, Lingga is used to behead, how can it harm people. Now is not the time for Qiangmu..."

The honest monk couldn't figure out why Lingga, who was a symbol, was really given life and then went to harm people.

"I used a talisman to suppress it." Xie Lingya tore off the talisman when he saw that he was using something to put Lingga up, and said, "We are also very strange about this, so I want you to take a look. I can't tell which school of tricks this is."

Although Qiang Mu was created by Master Padmasambhava, the Red Sect, the White Sect, the Yellow Sect... so many sects can do it.

Liecuo identified it for a long time and said, "I think this is very similar to the production style of several temples of our Nyingma Sect. However, it is absolutely impossible for our monks to release it."

In the Qiangmu ceremony, all instruments must be carefully preserved. This is an important Buddhist event. The triangular box brought by Liecuo was made temporarily by himself, and every link of the ceremony is also very strict. The selection is very careful, not just any young monk can take on the role.After all, in Qiang Mu, those monks who play a role are equivalent to the real body of this role.The Qiang Mu itself is for the purpose of exorcising evil spirits, thanking gods, enlightening, accumulating virtue, etc. This symbol subverts the connotation of the ceremony, and Liecuo naturally has complicated feelings.

In short, the ability to make such an evil thing is definitely not low. Could it be that some eminent monk has lost his heart?In their sect, eminent monks don't just come here randomly. A monk needs nine years of basic study and more than 20 years to complete a full set of Buddhist teachings, not to mention mastery.

Thinking of this, Liecuo became even more nervous, fearing that there might be a scum in their faction.

Xie Lingya let out a sigh of relief and said, "I've pinched a small part and took a picture, so please dispose of this thing first."

"Please don't worry, I will report this matter to my master. Our monks cannot produce such people." Liecuo said nervously, and then took out the antlers and the knife from his bag.

There is no Qiangmu ceremony now, but Liecuo has to use corresponding methods to deal with Lingga.

In their concept, the deer symbolizes Qizabala, the guardian deity.Lietsuo knelt down in front of Lingga, picked the box open with antlers, and chopped Lingga into pieces with the knife.

He didn't cut still, but combined movements such as jumping, flipping, and turning. Xie Lingya looked carefully and suddenly found that he seemed to be imitating a deer.

The Lingga was cut into pieces in this way, and the blood, internal organs and noodles were mixed together, which looked like a puddle of bloody mud, which was a bit disgusting, so Lietuo burned it.

Not to mention Guo Xing, it was also the first time Xie Lingya had seen such an exorcism ritual, so he had learned a lot from it.

……

Everyone went out of the room and poured out the ashes. Seeing Tan Qing watching TV in the outside room, he pointed to the TV and said, "Master, it said there was a ghost last night."

Xie Lingya looked up, it turned out to be a local online program, I don't know how Tan Qing tuned it out and watched it.

A citizen said: "Last night, when I was going home from the road next to Liming Square, I saw a bloody figure, which was very clear. It rushed towards me, and I turned around and ran away in fright!"

The reporter arrived at the place mentioned in a decent manner, and even bent down to find a line of blood stains on the ground, and said to the camera: "The man in blood in the middle of the night, is it a supernatural event or a murder? Please continue to pay attention, we will follow up and investigate..."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Why is the action so fast? I was scared last night. Today's show is out, and the three of them are walking together. Why did he and Xiaoliang disappear, and they didn't chase anyone?How did the rumor spread!It seems that Guo Xing's stroll last night really provided a good clue to the strange news in the city.

Liecuo still needs to investigate this matter, but the scope has been narrowed down a lot, and he recognized this production style.

Xie Lingya only waited for the result, now he asked Tan Qing: "Little monk, have you finished Journey to the West? Do you like it?"

"It's over, I like it." Tan Qing replied honestly.

Lian Tan looked at Tan Qing lovingly, and then said: "Mr. Xie, I brought Tan Qing here today to buy him some daily necessities, and to take a walk in Fuyang, can you help me bring a road?"

"Of course, you can leave him to me." Xie Lingya was obliged, he knew Fuyang City very well, and the monks had just arrived, and Lian Tan also loved this little disciple, so he brought him down to see the world.

According to Lian Tan's thoughts, he felt that Tan Qing's talent was very high, but he didn't understand the world deeply enough. This was his only shortcoming, so he brought him out more often.To be a monk, one must have pure six senses, and there are indeed many temptations in modern society, but because of this, it is impossible to completely escape, and one must let Tan Qing know before enlightening.

Liecuo wanted to send a message back, Lian Tan accompanied him, Xie Lingya took Tan Qing out for shopping, and only let Shi Changxuan accompany him, and sent Guo Xing and Xiaoliang back.

Lian Tan gave some money, they are monks, their life should be more simple, Xie Lingya knew this truth, of course he would not bring Tan Qing into any specialty store, so he and Shi Changxuan led him to buy some affordable items.

As soon as Tan Qing was on the street, his eyes looked around, he looked curious about everything, and he would be in a daze for a while when he saw tall buildings, saying that he had never seen such a tall building.

Xie Lingya took a look and found that this building was thirteen or four stories high, which is not considered the tallest building in Fuyang City. "You will go to a big city with your master in the future, and there will be even higher buildings."

Tan Qing was looking around, and passers-by were also looking at this young monk. He was wearing a monk's robe, monk's shoes on his feet, his head was shiny, his facial features were pretty, and he was looking around with a bewildered expression, so that some people wanted to ask him if he had traveled through time. that's it.

Xie Lingya saw him staring at the lollipop in other children's hands, so he bought a lollipop for him to lick.

Tan Qing licked it a few mouthfuls and said, "I'll take it back for Master and Senior Brother to eat."

Xie Lingya was about to cry when he heard that, Master Lian Tan, the abbot of a temple, would not lick a lollipop with his disciples, so he quickly bought two more, "It's okay, bring two to your master and senior brother, you can lick them together One is good or bad."

Tan Qing asked Xie Lingya: "Mr. Xie, Master said, you live in such a place where people come and go? Isn't it very lively?"

"Your temple is also bustling now." Xie Lingya said, "Although there are many people, we are at peace."

Tan Qing asked again: "Then do the people next to you believe in gods?"

Xie Lingya smiled faintly, "I don't know if there is a letter among the ten people."

Tan Qing let out an "oh" and didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What are you thinking?" Xie Lingya asked.

Tan Qing took a sip of the candy, mouth puffed up with the lollipop in his mouth and said, "I'm thinking about saving sentient beings."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya turned to Shi Changxuan and said, "This is a monk who does great things."

It's a pity that he doesn't know how difficult it is to save sentient beings now.

"Not all sentient beings can afford candy, you should learn from your master." Xie Lingya rubbed Tan Qing's bald head.

Tan Qing thought for a while and said, "I will give each sentient being a piece of candy from now on."

Xie Lingya was speechless, "Then there are people who don't like sweets."

Tan Qing: "How is it possible?"

Xie Lingya took a look at him and found out. No wonder Lian Tan wanted him to see the outside world more. This child is too simple-minded. Although he is talented in Buddhism, he seems to be lacking in other aspects. Growing up in the mountains.

"You also said last time that everyone sees water differently, and so does sugar." Xie Lingya said.

"Seeing pus is a ghost, and people who don't like sugar are naturally 'ghosts'." Tan Qing said.His gatha is that the heavens see treasures and adornments, the world is clear water, fish see caves, and ghosts see pus.Sentient beings see water differently, so of course they see sugar differently.

The interpretation of that gatha is that all dharmas are the only mind, but Tan Qing is now talking about the right and wrong of "dharma". The "ghost" he said should be just a reference.

Xie Lingya was taken aback for a moment, and then said seriously: "It's confusing, the law is right and wrong, but it can't be set on this."

Tan Qing let out an "oh", and continued to suck his lollipop.

Xie Lingya took Tan Qing to buy some daily necessities that he lacked. Originally, these monasteries could buy in bulk, but Xie Lingya went out alone to buy some cartoon underwear for him.

Tan Qingxin is a little childish than the average peers, and she ordered underwear with a Q version of leopard printed on the back of her buttocks.

Because the shopping place is on Jingui Pedestrian Street, close to the Taoist Temple, Xie Lingya asked Shi Changxuan to lead him first, and went back to Baoyang Temple to get a power bank. His phone was almost out of battery.

……

The taxi driver Xiao Wang pulled a car full of weird passengers last night, left work early, washed the car, slept again, woke up the next afternoon, and immediately went to Baoyang Temple in the city center.

On the way, Xiao Wang looked at the local forum, and saw someone saying that a person who came home late last night was hunted down by a blood man in the city center. He immediately thought of the passengers he had dragged and the suspected weapons on the passengers' backs, and suddenly Cold, there is a feeling of life hanging by a thread.

Xiao Wang, who was thinking about the blood man, hurried into Baoyang Temple, bumped into a person just as he was going up the steps, and just wanted to get angry, when he looked up, he saw a familiar face, and everyone in a 30-meter radius heard Xiao Wang's cry scream.

"Damn it!" Xiao Wang blurted out in panic in a protective manner, "Don't cut me!"

"..." Xie Lingya raised his hand, and said to Hai Guanchao who had strange eyes beside him, "I'm not...I didn't..."
