Part-Time Taoist Priest

Those ghosts need to be saved, but they can't do it here, they have to be taken back to set up an altar, and it is said that Shi Changxuan came in person.

What they are best at together is the fasting ceremony and talismans.There are many and complicated Rituals for Zhaijiao, different rituals are different, and it takes a long time, which is a test of the master's skill.

Xie Lingya thought that there was a lonely ghost here, and he didn't know where to hide at this time, anyway, he couldn't see it in his field of vision.

People from Taihe Temple came by car. They seemed to have found the person in charge of the construction site, and the car drove inside.Xie Lingya greeted them first, watched the car leave, and then turned back.

"Come out." Xie Lingya said.

The male ghost showed up and stood cowering in front of Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya wanted to ask him a few questions, but the male ghost couldn't speak. Xie Lingya said: "Then let me ask you, please nod. I don't know how you became a ghost, but since you helped me, do you want to May I ask the Taoist priest to help you too?"

After a while, it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival. At that time, many Fa conferences will be transcended together.Although the male ghost looked terrifying, it was because he fell from a building and died tragically. He was not a fierce ghost.

But after hearing his words, the male ghost shook his head vigorously, very reluctantly.

"That's it," Xie Lingya thought that he might still be obsessed. After all, he couldn't force others to help him, so he said, "Tell me your name and date of birth, and I'll burn some joss paper money for you first." This ghost thought about it later, and took some paper money to spend below.

The male ghost was very happy, and squatted down to write on the ground with water from the ditch.The water traces followed the movement of his fingers, showing words.If there are other people here, they will probably see the weird picture of water characters appearing out of thin air on the ground.

"Ding Aima..." Xie Lingya read out the male ghost's name, and the male ghost raised his head and smiled at him, his face looked even more terrifying.

Xie Lingya memorized his birthday with his mobile phone, and at the same time wiped off the cinnabar on his forehead with the back of his hand—he really didn't want to see Ding Aima's grimace anymore.

The supernatural powers of possession disappeared, and Xie Lingya felt soreness in his eyes, which may be the sequelae of using this technique.

"No, I'm going back first, and I'll burn the paper for you later. Be careful in the future, one yard is worth one yard, if you hurt someone, I'll come to you again." Xie Lingya said to the direction where Ding Aima was before. With a sound, he walked in the direction of Baoyang Temple.

There was a faint sound of gasping in the air, which quickly disappeared in the wind.

……

When Xie Lingya returned, there were still many people in the front yard of Baoyang Temple tonight, and it was a bit more lively than usual.

This is all because the fact that there are no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple has gradually spread around in a short period of time. As the weather got late, many residents who came out for activities stopped by to have a look after hearing about it. There were also some merchants who took time to come over. Take a look around.

Hearing the word "mosquito repellent", the first thought of many people is that the Taoist temple is playing tricks and tricking people into buying the talisman.

However, in this hot summer where mosquitoes breed, it does not prevent everyone from going to the field to observe.Anyway, we can't force them to buy talismans, so just take a look.

As a result, after entering Baoyang Temple, those who have been here before are shocked.

I thought it was because the mosquitoes disappeared, but there must be an exaggeration. At most, there are fewer mosquitoes.But after staying here for ten, twenty or ten minutes, you will find that there are really no mosquitos in this place!

This is really a good thing for those who enjoy the cool at night.

As for the mosquito repellent talisman, some more people wanted to buy it. After seeing the effect here, they thought that it only cost 20 yuan.

This place is in the open air, and some things are clear. Everyone looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see where they could make a name for themselves, and what method was used.

If you want to talk about high technology, this Taoist temple is so poor, can you still afford the equipment?

They have everything they want, but only a small number of them really have a little awe of Taoist temples, and even went to offer incense to Sanqing.

Zhang Daoting stood still, biting him to death was due to the function of the talisman, of course it was indeed the function of the talisman, but many people always felt that there was something mysterious in it.

Zhang Daoting only focused on selling talismans, he wanted to sell some other talismans, but everyone came for the mosquito repellent talismans, gradually the stock of Xie Lingya's paintings disappeared.

Zhang Daoting had no choice but to ask the person who still wanted to come back tomorrow, there was no way, Xie Lingya was not here at the moment.

Therefore, when Xie Lingya came back, a group of people had already come to "share" and it was not so crowded. Even so, there were more people than usual, most of them were residents who often lived here.

Xie Lingya was still holding the Three Jewels Sword in his hand, and he caught everyone's eyes as soon as he came in unprepared.

"Hey, what is Xiaoxie doing here? Why are you still holding a sword?"

"I said I didn't see Xiao Xie... I just came back now."

Xie Lingya used the back door to go out before, and not everyone sat here all the time.He laughed stiffly and said, "I... went to the square to practice Tai Chi sword."

Uncles, aunts, grandparents and grandparents said one after another: "Xiao Xie, you can do it, you can also know Tai Chi sword, teach us later!"

"Yes, if you go out to practice, just practice here."

"It's not crowded here. There were a lot of people just now. They are all looking for mosquitoes. I think they can't wait to use a magnifying glass to look for them."

For this part of the very laid-back residents, how the mosquitoes are driven away is as unimportant as why the well water is so sweet.

Xie Lingya went to put away the sword, poured hot water again, soaked a towel and applied it to his eyes, and it was much better.

At this time, it was about the same time, and the Taoist temple was closed.Zhang Daoting came over and saw Xie Lingya startled, his eyes were fine without the hot compress, but turned a little red after the hot compress.

Zhang Daoting: "Boss, why are you crying?"

Xie Lingya: "...I didn't cry, my eyes are tired."

"That's good." Zhang Daoting asked again, "That's right. You can even know Tai Chi Sword?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya sighed, "Thank you for reminding me that I will start learning Tai Chi Sword tomorrow."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Boss, what are you doing...

Xie Lingya began to draw talismans despite his fatigue, and stopped after drawing a certain amount, and said to Zhang Daoting: "After these are sold out, the mosquito repellent talismans will not be sold anymore, you can figure it out."

He saw that there were quite a few people who came to watch today, and they bought so many mosquito repellent charms. The news that there were no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple had already spread. It can be seen that more and more people will come to watch after hearing the news. It is time to control The output of the mosquito repellent is gone.That's where their mosquito-free front yard was anyway.

Zhang Daoting nodded, "Well, in fact, some people bought other talismans today, just those 'repeat customers', let's go back and try."

"That's good." Xie Lingya went to look at the censer again, and estimated the number of people offering incense. Today, more than ten people have already offered incense.

Although this is not a huge number of people, for Baoyang Temple, it may be the day with the largest number of people offering incense this year.

After fighting for so long at night, Xie Lingya came back to do some work, tired and hungry, pulled some green onions in the backyard, ordered two bowls of green onion noodles, and had supper with Zhang Daoting before going to bed.

……

In the next few days, the news that there were no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple was spread by word of mouth, and it spread more and more widely around, shocking batch after batch of visitors.They tried to find a mosquito in Baoyang Temple, but failed without exception.

Zhang Daoting promoted other talismans at every turn, because he was controlling the sales of mosquito repellent talismans, and there were also other talismans that interested people would buy.

It’s just that there are many people who buy this kind of miscellaneous charms. They all have a kind of mentality. Buying town house charms and amulets back is not only so expensive, but also it is difficult to know whether they are effective or not.

Some people also asked about other talismans, especially for fortune and love, but it is a pity that there is no research on this kind of talisman in the Baoyang Temple lineage.

Their ancestor Wang Lingguan was good at exorcising evil spirits and curing diseases, and the skills collected by the ancestors of Baoyang Temple during their travels were not good at this aspect. After all, no one is really omniscient and omnipotent.

In Xie Lingya's words: "If I want to meet, first post a picture for our Taoist temple, it's too fucking poor!"

After many people buy the talisman, the first thing they do is not to use it according to the method, but to take a photo and post it on the social networking platform.People who do this basically don't believe it, and post it with a happy attitude.

Coupled with a sentence similar to this: "This small Taoist temple is very interesting. There is not a single mosquito. It is said that special mosquito repellent charms are pasted... Curiously bought a charm and came back!"

But the function of this talisman will not change because of what they do - as long as it is not placed there and turned into ashes, it is pasted or worn according to the method.

As a result, scenes of scenes appeared in the homes of the most densely distributed people around Baoyang Temple:

The husband who had been hiccupping all the time stopped hiccupping 5 minutes after posting the amulet: "Damn it, I really don't hiccup."

The old man with a headache and backache relieved a lot of pain after the talisman was applied.

The child who couldn't sleep well posted a talisman and dreamed till dawn.

……

As a result, the latest circle of friends of many people has become:

"Fuck, this talisman really works, who will explain the principle to me??"

"I used to be superstitious about science, until I bought this thing [cover face]"

"Kneel down! I just bought it because the Taoist is handsome. It really doesn't hurt so much! Tell me it's not a psychological effect!"

It was still spread by word of mouth before, but now due to the large base, many people spread it to the circle of friends and online groups, and the speed of spread increased exponentially for a while.

If it's just a talisman, people who see it will only think it's a coincidence, a psychological hint, etc., and don't take it seriously. After all, it's just a small problem. This kind of thing can't be explained clearly.In many cases, it may be that if you believe it, you will work, and if you don't believe it, you will not work.

But this time there is another important point, that is, the original intention of the person who bought the talisman was to watch a Taoist temple without mosquitoes!

This Taoist temple has no mosquitoes!

Believe it or not, the absence of mosquitoes has nothing to do with it, it's clearly there.

As a result, Baoyang Temple and its characteristics have entered the vision of some Fuyang citizens.

The address of Baoyang Temple is right next to Jingui Pedestrian Street and Liming Square. After seeing it, many people might just be amazed at the time and guess what method the Taoist temple used, but they also firmly remember this place, and even think about passing by next time. Go in there and see if there are really no mosquitos.

There are also some people who have had similar experiences by themselves or their relatives and friends who are willing to believe that there are few witches and gods in modern cities, but there are many in the future, especially in rural areas where medical conditions are underdeveloped, so many people go to such strange people for treatment .

Even today, there are still such high-level people, but few people know about it, and it may be necessary to inquire.Perhaps, this Taoist view is like this.

Some people even thought to themselves after seeing such news: Isn’t this the Taoist temple that fetched water for free?It's just on the side of the pedestrian street. I only knew that the water was delicious before. Why is there such a miracle now?

In any case, the reputation of Baoyang Temple has grown rapidly in just half a month, much higher than before.

According to statistics, the number of believers has also increased to dozens. It is still a bit difficult to make people who have no beliefs become believers. Even among the dozens of people in this area, only some of them have never had religious beliefs. people.

Most of the incense is passing by now, but these believers will be the fixed source of incense in the future.

Besides, after Xie Lingya rested for one night that day, he pasted a paper bag with yellow paper and wrote Ding Aima's birth date and name on it the next day. This was done to ensure that the incense paper money could reach Ding Aima. , not to be intercepted by other lonely ghosts.

Xie Lingya filled the paper bag with paper money and lit it together with the joss stick.

A few days later, Xie Lingya passed by the construction site and stopped by to see Ding Aima.

It is said that the construction site, which is short of funds, has restarted, and it is estimated that it has money again, but the figure of Ding Aima is wandering alone among his former workers.

Because of being incensed by Xie Lingya, Ding Aima's figure is a little more compact than before, and he can still speak.

"Daoist, thank you for your incense and paper money. I promise that I will never harm anyone here. I was just immature and idle before." Ding Aima was finally able to speak, and when he saw him, he began to make promises. Xie Lingya is so cruel.

"Okay, but I'm not a Daoist, you can call me a teacher." Xie Lingya asked, "Can you tell me what's wrong with you and you don't want to leave? Is it because you died in vain?"

Ding Aima said weakly: "No, I'm just afraid of death now..."

Xie Lingya: "???"

Xie Lingya: "Then what, you are already dead."

"But I lost consciousness again!" Ding Aima said sadly, "I know, I didn't have a good rest at that time, and I fell to my death in a trance. Fortunately, I turned into a ghost. If I passed away and left the world, wouldn't that be the same as returning to the human world?" What does it feel like to die once, when you close your eyes and you don’t know anything, it’s always very scary..."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Ding Aima turned into a ghost at the beginning because of the resentment of death in vain, but now it is... afraid of "death" that has not dissipated?

Ding Aima asked: "By the way, teacher, if a dead soul is saved, should it be reincarnated directly, or should it be queued at the bottom? Do other ghosts want to be saved? How does it feel when being saved? Is it just me? think?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Teacher, the teacher can't answer!

Stop calling me a teacher, call me a classmate!

Xie Lingya originally wanted to persuade Ding Aima again, but now he was overwhelmed by the question. After thinking for a long time, he said painfully: "I really don't know, you should do this ghost first, and our Taoist temple will probably do the same in the Ghost Festival. Let me do something, then I will observe more and collect ghost ideas."
