Part-Time Taoist Priest

Cheng Jie was also puzzled at this time. In his opinion, Xie Lingya had been in this industry for at most two years. Anyway, Xie Lingya hadn't shown it when he graduated.

However, thinking about the rumors he had heard, he became uncertain again. If Xie Lingya had no skills, how would he solve his affairs? He couldn't be a charlatan, could he?He didn't believe that Xie Lingya was such a person.

Xie Lingya didn't know how to explain it, and Cheng Jie was not an expert, so would it be useful for him to say that he had grown a really awesome bone?

"Otherwise, tell me what happened to you first." Xie Lingya said.

Cheng Jie thought about it, and said: "From last month, when we were sleeping at night, there would be footsteps in the living room, the sound of things being smashed on the ground, and the TV was turned on. The first time it happened, only my wife was there. In the bedroom, she thought someone was coming in, so she didn't dare to make a sound, so she sent a text message to call the police. But the police came to the door and found nothing, and the surveillance could not find anything.

"Later, it became more and more excessive. The fish we bought were torn open and thrown on the ground with blood, and we kept having nightmares, ghosts pressing the bed. Even hiding in a hotel was not peaceful!

"Do you know how broken I am? I almost feel like I'm crazy. I ran to find the monk, and the monk told us that it was a ghost, and he took money to do it, but it didn't work at all. We wanted to find a Taoist priest again. When I heard from friends that there was an expert surnamed Xie in Baoyang Temple, someone he knew was saved there when he encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and the talisman of Baoyang Temple is also quite famous recently, so we came here, who knew it was you! "

He Zun, what a loyal little trumpet, a devout believer, Xie Lingya thought in his heart.Fuyang City is such a big city, it's not surprising that the news about He Zun spread to Cheng Jie.

After Cheng Jie finished speaking, his wife's eyes were red and she was about to cry. He let out a breath and said, "How, do you know how to solve it after listening?"

Xie Lingya laughed, "I don't know what else you want to say, but I know it all too well!"

Not long ago, he poked and killed seven of them.

"The monk you are looking for is definitely not good enough. Your guest ghost is a bit fierce, but it is just a guest ghost." Xie Lingya was full of confidence, and even dug out the classics to show them, "Flying corpses are fierce, It's just a horrible name."

When Cheng Jie and his wife saw his confident appearance, they were actually comforted a lot, "Really? How sure are you?"

"Eighty to ninety percent." Xie Lingya didn't talk too much, "I'll go back with you to deal with it today, senior, we've known each other for so long, can I cheat you, I won't charge you if I can't solve it .”

Cheng Jie thought about Xie Lingya, although he was a little confused, but he really had nothing to say to his friends, so he nodded and said: "Then I will trouble you, by the way, this is the first time you have met your sister-in-law, not only do you not give a discount, but you also accept it." money?"

Xie Lingya: "Then sister-in-law, will you give me a meeting gift?"

Everyone teased each other, Cheng Jie and his wife felt a little more relaxed, and the haze that had shrouded their bodies for the past few days dissipated a lot.

……

After the Taoist temple closed at night, Xie Lingya took a rest for a while, packed up the three precious swords and talismans, and went to their house with Cheng Jie and his wife.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, I arrived at Cheng Jie's house.Cheng Jie's house was on the seventeenth floor, and because he was going back again, in the elevator, Cheng Jie's wife, Fan Fang, was in a relaxed mood, and her face was not very good-looking. Cheng Jie held her hand tightly.

Xie Lingya also comforted: "It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm very familiar with this job."

As the saying goes, the first time you are born, the second time you are familiar.Although he still doesn't know the ins and outs, Xie Lingya knows what kind of virtue a guest ghost is, no matter how it came about, it's just gone.He hadn't learned it yet, so he didn't say it was because he was afraid that Cheng Jie would feel uneasy.

Standing at the door, Cheng Jie took a deep breath before opening the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Xie Lingya felt that it was a bit gloomy and cold inside. Cheng Jie and his wife were a little scared, so he turned on the light immediately, and it seemed that nothing was wrong after scanning around, "Come in first."

Xie Lingya sat in the living room, took out the three treasured swords, put them beside him, and took out the town house talisman and other things, explaining: "It usually starts to make trouble at one o'clock in the evening, and we will wait here until it starts to make trouble I'm going to kill it."

Cheng Jie and Fan Fang: "..."

Both of them were a little hesitant. Originally, Xie Lingya was holding a mahogany sword and a talisman, so they were very relieved, but when they opened their mouths, there seemed to be no rules, it was very simple and rude.

But this is the end of the matter, and they have no way out.

In order to ease their hearts, Xie Lingya also gave each of them a Town House Talisman to put on their bodies.Then I peeled off a candy and ate it, playing with my phone while waiting.

Fan Fang was a little scared, and said: "Xiao Xie, you should talk, it's too quiet not to talk."

Xie Lingya had no choice but to put away the phone and find something to talk to.He and Cheng Jie rarely met after graduation, and they had nothing in common. They looked at his house and said, "Sister-in-law, you bought this house not long ago, why is the cabinet knocked?"

He saw an obvious dent on the TV cabinet. Fan Fang didn't know about it, but Cheng Jie was a person who paid close attention to the living environment. He took good care of the dormitory when he was in college.

"It was only renovated last year." Fan Fang glanced at it and said, "It was smashed by a stone statue before."

Speaking of this, Cheng Jie also said depressedly: "I went hiking with my donkey friend before, and I picked up a stone statue. I saw it and thought it was an ancient handicraft, so I brought it back and put it there. But I asked someone to show it to you." Finally, I said that it was a few years old, but it was not worth much money. Fan Fang always said it was not good-looking, so I threw it away. But I didn’t pay attention when I moved, and it was knocked down so badly. I paid for it once I was too busy.”

Fan Fang also said: "Yeah, it's no wonder it looks good, but we've been devastated during this time, and we haven't taken care of it. I think don't buy a new one so quickly, find a vase to block it."

"That's right, it's good to block it for a while." Xie Lingya agreed, "By the way, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Wait, the water pipe in the guest bathroom is broken, you can go to the master bedroom." Cheng Jie said, and stood up to lead Xie Lingya.

"Okay...well, there's no need to lead the way, it's such a short distance." Xie Lingya said.

Cheng Jie said embarrassingly: "I'd better follow you, it's really creepy to sit here."

Fan Fang also stood up weakly, holding Cheng Jie's hand, "We'll wait for you at the door."

Xie Lingya: "..."

They insisted on going to the bathroom with them, Xie Lingya had no choice but to go to the master bedroom together.

In order to comfort them, Xie Lingya kept talking inside and washed his hands before going out. However, his shoes were stained with water in the bathroom. After going out, he didn't pay attention, his feet slipped, and he fell on the ground.

"Damn it!" Not only was it painful, but also embarrassing, Xie Lingya lay on the ground, seeing Cheng Jie and Fan Fang both stunned and wanting to laugh.

Xie Lingya was extremely depressed, he casually glanced to the side, but saw the bottom of Cheng Jie's bed at a glance, and felt a chill rushing up his spine at that moment!

I saw a humanoid stone statue the size of an adult's forearm clearly lying on the bottom of the bed. The carving was a bit rough, but the facial features were distinct.And this humanoid stone statue has only one foot.

It wasn't that one foot was broken, but only one foot was carved during the carving, which looked extremely weird.

In the very dark light under the bed, its empty eyes faced Xie Lingya, and the corner of its mouth that was a bit worn looked like it was sneering...

"Lingya, can't you get up?" Cheng Jie saw that Xie Lingya was lying there motionless, and was afraid that he might fall and get injured.

How could Cheng Jie put such a weird thing under the bed?Xie Lingya looked up strangely, "...does that stone statue you picked up earlier have only one foot?"

Both Cheng Jie and Fan Fang were stunned for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "How do you know?"

After the two finished speaking, their hearts jumped wildly, feeling deeply wrong, thinking of Xie Lingya's eyes, they also looked over at the bed.Cheng Jie asked tremblingly, "What's under the bed?"

Fan Fang also looked like she was about to faint.

At this moment, the curtains in the bedroom turned on automatically without any wind, and the air conditioner turned on by itself, blowing cold wind outside, Xie Lingya shuddered, turned over and jumped up, shouting: "Get out!"

Cheng Jie and Fan Fang turned around and ran to the living room. They both wore talismans, but Xie Lingya didn't wear talismans, so he squeezed the Lingguan formula to protect his body, and rushed to the living room to grab the three precious swords.

"Ah!" Fan Fang screamed, the town house talisman on her body was burning by herself, and she threw the talisman away in a hurry.

This is definitely not a guest ghost, a simple town house talisman is useless, Xie Lingya regrets in his heart, he knew to bring some amulets of the ancestors, but he didn't even bring cinnabar and talisman paper.

The rice grains on the ground did not move at all, and there was no way to see the trajectory, but Xie Lingya knew that the evil thing of unknown origin must be around, and if the talisman was broken, he would attack Fan Fang.

Not knowing the exact direction, Xie Lingya could only slam his sword and shout: "Everywhere is everywhere, and there is no answer!"

With a "hiss" sound that did not resemble a human sigh, all the rice grains were blown away by the sword energy, forming a circular ring, and then, the half-opened patio door made a "creak" sound.

Xie Lingya conveniently pasted a Town House Talisman on Fan Fang's body, raised his sword and stared at it, but nothing happened for a long time, and the air conditioner in the bedroom also stopped.

Xie Lingya pasted all the remaining town house talismans in various places in the house, but there was still no response.

Both Cheng Jie and Fan Fang hid behind him in fright. The changes that happened to Xie Lingya's sword and talisman just now made them no longer have a trace of doubt in their hearts. Xie Lingya is definitely capable.

Thinking of the sound of the balcony door, Fan Fang cried, "Then, is the guest ghost gone?"

"It should be gone, not gone." Xie Lingya corrected. Although he didn't know what it was, but through horizontal comparison, since he can break the town house talisman, it is impossible to eat the Jianjian once and be taken away. It is more likely He escaped, "Also, that can't be a guest ghost."

"But the monk said..." Cheng Jie thought that the monk hadn't done anything at all, and suddenly silenced, and broke down, "What the hell is that? It's related to the stone statue? Will it come again?"

Xie Lingya didn't know, so he simply dragged the one-legged stone statue out from under the bed, Cheng Jie and Fan Fang looked at it, their expressions were extremely ugly, Fan Fang almost fainted, and backed away repeatedly.

They lost this thing a long time ago, yet it appeared under the bed again!The thought of having such a thing under the bed for so many days made them feel even more suffocated.

Xie Lingya put the stone statue on the living room floor, pasted two talismans on it, but there was no response, so he was sure, "It should have escaped outside, and I don't know if it will come back."

If he had known that the culprit was not a guest ghost, he would not have come here casually in high spirits, alas, he is still inexperienced.Now he didn't know how to proceed properly, because he couldn't recognize what it was.

Of course, after thinking about it for a long time, Xie Lingya felt that the most incredible thing was...

"Why do you think this is an ancient artwork? What a weird foot!" Xie Lingya asked Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie said shamelessly, "I'm not thinking of Venus with a broken arm."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Fan Fang choked up with sobs.Xie Lingya suspected that her husband might be crying stupidly.

……

Now he had to ask for help off the court, Xie Lingya took out his phone and made a video call to Shi Changxuan.

About half a minute later, Shi Changxuan got connected. He was supposed to be sleeping. The background was the bedroom, and only hair and a little forehead appeared on the screen. He seemed to be a little puzzled why Xie Lingya sent him the video so late. "……Um?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, Daoist Shi, you've already rested," Xie Lingya said apologetically, "I'm in a hurry here, I want you to take a look, do you know what this is?"

He pointed the camera at the stone statue.

After three or four seconds, Shi Changxuan's face completely appeared on the screen, and he said soberly: "One-legged five-legged."

"One-legged pentagon? What kind of monster is this?" Xie Lingya said, "One of my seniors picked it up in the mountains, and it was lost after bringing it back, but it came back by itself, and it always behaved mischievously. .”

Shi Changxuan said: "Some areas in the south are called Wutong, some areas are called Muke, and some are called One-legged God. That's why you can't lose it, because it is easier to invite God than to give it away."

Cheng Jie and his wife were surprised and said, "Is this a statue?"

"Mandrills and ghosts are just demon gods enshrined by the villagers." Shi Changxuan replied, "When they are sacrificed by people, they will give people good fortune, and enshrining the one-legged five-arm can make the owner's family rich overnight. You just invite the gods to come back But they don't worship, so the one-legged five-handed will make trouble."

Because some folk spirits are greedy for incense sacrifices, they will satisfy the wishes of the people in exchange for sacrifices, but they are not true gods, but demon gods.

Cheng Jie was a little moved when he heard this, "So it just wants a sacrifice, and after getting it, it will stop making trouble, and will it make us rich?"

Cheng Jie's wife was a little terrified, the one-legged five-legged joint was too violent, and she didn't dare to ask her to confess.I didn't hear that it wasn't a serious god at all, but a demon god.

Shi Changxuan said coldly: "If this is the only way, the number of people enshrining the one-legged pentagon will not decrease, and they will even be abandoned in the wilderness, and then let you pick it up. Except for festivals and new days of every month, it needs pigs and sheep. In addition, every three years, one person will be killed."

Cheng Jie shivered suddenly, all his thoughts disappeared, and he waved his hands again and again, "F-please let it go." He looked at Xie Lingya for help.

Xie Lingya then asked: "Daoist Shi, is there any way to send it away?"

Shi Changxuan said: "If you can't send it away, the one-legged five-tone is narrow-minded and will take revenge. The people who enshrine him will be punished if they are disrespectful. And if you hurt it, it will probably be more careful gone."

Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it, Xie Lingya said dejectedly: "I thought it was a guest ghost, so I didn't have so many precautions. According to your intention, I can only kill it now, how can I lure it out? "

Shi Changxuan thought for a while, and then said: "One-legged five-legged is very greedy, you can pretend to be a sacrifice to lure it out and get rid of it."

Xie Lingya felt unsure after hearing this, and he didn't understand the process of praying and offering sacrifices, so he was afraid of something going wrong, so he simply said, "Daoist Shi, um, have you finished your work, can you come and help?"

Shi Changxuan fell into silence for a moment, Xie Lingya almost thought that the phone was stuck, and wondered if it was so difficult to answer?

After a long while, Shi Changxuan said with downcast eyes: "...OK."

Xie Lingya had a solid idea in his mind, "Do you want to prepare anything?"

Shi Changxuan: "According to ancient records, two pigs and two sheep need to be slaughtered. The fur, blood, and feces cannot be thrown away. They should be used as sacrifices and prayed at the middle of the night. Women should not be present unless necessary. Pregnancy will cause stillbirth. There must be no lights in the house during the sacrifice... and the sacrificer must not wear clothes."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya said with emotion: "The one-legged five-legged joint is really an obscene demon god."
