Part-Time Taoist Priest

Wang Yuji was the same as his ancestors. Although he received the scriptures at Baoyang Temple, he asked all directions, and he did not know how many masters he paid homage to in order to enrich the content of Baoyang notes.This is how the astonishing contents of Baoyang's Notes come into being. The Taoism and miscellaneous arts contained in it are not only inherited from Baoyang's lineage.

However, Xie Lingya watched the sea and tide for a while, and still felt that he was really too young, he must be much younger than his uncle.

Although it is said that sooner or later, Confucius always worshiped Xiang Lu as his teacher, but Xie Lingya has never seen a similar example in modern times. The main reason is that he faced the sea and watched the tide by himself. The age difference and generational difference are too scary...

Seeing Xie Lingya's hesitant look, Hai Guanchao smiled even wider, "Are you afraid that I'll deceive you? Why, your uncle didn't mention me?"

Xie Lingya said sadly: "My uncle has passed away."

Hai Guanchao's smile dissipated, and he couldn't believe it, "Impossible. I contacted him before I came, but his mobile phone was shut down. I just thought it was because I had no money to pay for the phone bill (Xie Lingya: How poor is my uncle)...but how could he Will die, we contacted a few months ago, and I have shown him a photo before, his life is definitely more than that short!"

When Wang Yuji was dying, he didn't have time to ask so much. After his death, Xie Lingya didn't renew the phone bill. When the funeral was held, it was because only a very small number of people attended the funeral. Hearing what Hai Guanchao said, he said sadly: " It was an accident on the way."

In this line of work, people who come into contact with unusual people must be dangerous. Fate will change, and no one can say for sure.

Hai Guanchao was stunned for a long while before he sighed, "I'll go and offer incense to your uncle."

Xie Lingya took Hai Guanchao into the Taoist temple, and went to offer incense in front of his uncle's spiritual tablet.

While watching the sea and enjoying the incense, Xie Lingya lowered his head and checked on his mobile phone. He had entered or scanned Baoyang's notes into an electronic version.With so much content, he certainly couldn't finish reading it all at once, so he searched for Hai Guanchao's name, and there really was one.

According to my uncle's records, I met a young expert somewhere in a certain month last year, that is, Hai Guanchao. What are the characteristics of this person?

After only reading two lines, Hai Guanchao is finished.

Xie Lingya took advantage of the situation and asked, "Did you come here to find uncle?"

Hai Guanchao sighed, "Your master, I was squeezed out by my peers in my hometown. At that time, I met your uncle. After dealing with the affairs there, I came to Fuyang. By the way, I taught him what I promised to teach him. At that time He has something to do, I just taught him a formula."

Why do you keep mentioning the master... Xie Lingya refused in his heart, but after hearing the following content, he shifted his attention: "Although I inherited the Taoist temple, I didn't actually become a monk. We each live in our own way.

"However, with me around, it's the same as my uncle's presence. You can rest assured that I'm still looking for apprentices for my uncle, and you can still teach me when the time comes to complete the agreement with my uncle."

Uncle wants to learn physiognomy with Hai Guanchao, he must be very good at this aspect, this is a talent, he has taken the initiative to come to the door, there is still a relationship, of course he has to stay.

"Pending order, what kind of order is there, I want to come to Fuyang to open a clinic." Hai Guanchao gave him a strange look, and at the same time he was a little regretful. Xie Lingya strongly suspected that it was because he didn't take advantage of the words.

Xie Lingya was stunned, and lowered his head to confirm on the phone, "Didn't my uncle learn physiognomy from you?"

Hai Guanchao replied: "Yes, but I am not a Taoist priest, I am a doctor, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Damn, it's embarrassing, I didn't expect that Chinese medicine doctors these days are versatile, they can read astrology, and even Taoist priests are convinced.

Hai Guanchao looked at Xie Lingya, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said with a half-smile: "In the old days, witch doctors did not separate families. Later, many people knew that witches used spells to cure diseases, including Taoism. In medical arts, there are actually some mysterious techniques. Do you know Tai Sumai?"

Xie Lingya shook his head honestly, since he was a child, he has never seen a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.On the contrary, his uncle can indeed cure minor ailments and pains, as Hai Guanchao said, witch doctors do not separate families.In Taoism, there is also the saying of the five arts. In ancient times, many Taoist priests specialized in healing.

Hai Guanchao explained: "In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Taisu, a native of Qingcheng Mountain, was taught by a strange person. He practiced the method of judging people's good and bad fortune through the pulse, and passed down the "Taisu Pulse Method". It is nonsense to tell people by pulse, and gradually there is no transmission.

"My family has practiced medicine for generations, and the Taisu pulse method has been handed down. In fact, the real Taisu pulse is based on the pulse condition, with reference to physiognomy, learning the essence, and even inferring the fate of the descendants of the person being diagnosed. It can be said to be foolproof! "

... Damn, so powerful?No wonder uncle wants to learn!

Xie Lingya thought to himself.

Hai Guanchao originally had some pride on his face, but at the end it darkened, "I once checked your uncle's pulse, and I found out that although he has no fortune, he should enjoy a long life, free from illness and pain. However, he is heroic. Died young, I didn't see it, I'm not good at learning!"

Xie Lingya also sighed, fate, who can tell.

After a while, the two looked at each other.

Xie Lingya whispered: "Then are you still running a clinic in Fuyang?"

"What else do I care about, I carry all my belongings with me, and I can go wherever I go." Hai Guanchao said with emotion.

"Then stay in Fuyang, you stay here with us first, and I will help you find out if there is a suitable storefront that can open a shop for you."

Wang Yuji is a very moral old-fashioned person, and Xie Lingya is not bad in this regard. Although it was the first time he met Hai Guanchao, based on his agreement and relationship with his elders, Xie Lingya decided to help him without saying a word.

Hai Guanchao glanced at him with admiration, and then readily agreed, "Then I will trouble you, Xiaoxie."

……

After chatting with Hai Guanchao in detail, Xie Lingya knew that Hai Guanchao had opened a clinic in their city before, but because of his good medical skills, he was framed and excluded by his colleagues with background, and even hired a doctor to mess with him, preventing him from opening the clinic.

It was at that time that Hai Guanchao realized that the local people exorcised evil spirits, and then went to his clinic to buy Wang Yuji with cinnabar.

Hai Guanchao said: "By the way, I may not have much money. I spent a lot of money on ordinary things before. At that time, your uncle said that we can find a haunted facade and rent it cheaply. Then he drove the ghosts away."

"...It's a good idea, but the appearance of being haunted isn't something you want to have!" Xie Lingya said regretfully, "Let me take a look."

Hai Guanchao took a room at a nearby hotel, where all his luggage was placed.Although the environment of Baoyang Temple is not as good as that of a hotel, the room rate of the hotel is expensive, so Xie Lingya helped him bring everything to Baoyang Temple after discussing it.

"This is Doctor Hai!" Xie Lingya introduced the origin of Hai Guanchao to Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting: the gentleman recognized by his uncle.

Hai Guanchao stared at Zhang Daoting, as if he was thinking about the possibility of him calling him.

It's a pity that although Zhang Daoting is a person who embraces the sun, he has no apprenticeship. It's okay to call him brother Xie Lingya occasionally, but it's a bit far away to call him master Hai Guanchao.

Not to mention Shi Changxuan, he and Wang Yuji are not in the same camp.

Hai Guanchao was very disappointed, he didn't know where his addiction came from, and he wanted to be a teacher.Xie Lingya strongly suspected that the two had some discussions on this issue when their uncle was apprenticed to the teacher.

"By the way, Dr. Hai, I read it in my uncle's notes. Your mantra is amazing. Do people's pulse conditions have so many changes?" Xie Lingya felt that what he usually read was also very mysterious, but This Tai Sumai does not belong to the orthodox traditional physiognomy, so he is a little curious.

Hai Guanchao is not very old, but he has been learning medical skills and Taisu pulse method since he was a child, and he is quite talented in this area, otherwise he would not be convinced by Wang Yuji.He said affirmatively: "Of course, Taisu's pulse is divided into five yang channels, five yin channels, and four ying channels, and there are many variations.

"Since you are Wang Yuji's nephew, you can also come and learn it. Hehe, it's just that this is not something that ordinary people can learn. Your uncle and I only learned all the formulas during our stay."

"Hey, I don't want to learn. After learning, how do you calculate your seniority? Don't you want me to call you Master?" Xie Lingya had some thoughts at first, but he didn't want to be two generations younger for nothing, he was very cunning.

Hai Guanchao adjusted his glasses, and said very naturally: "I am your uncle's elder. Don't say that you can learn it if you want to, or it's better like this. You come to learn, and you can get started within three months. This physiognomy is my gift to you, each of you has a seniority, don’t talk about the master anymore. If you can’t learn it, you can call it your uncle.”

He had just finished speaking when he noticed that both Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting looked towards him, as if he had said something strange.

Hai Guanchao: "??"

Xie Lingya also grinned, "If you want to say this, then I would like to learn from you, as a challenge."

Hai Guanchao was a little weird from the eyes of those two people, but he couldn't think of anything wrong. It was difficult for them to use the Sumai method. He was very confident, and said in his mouth: "Then you have to be mentally prepared. , can’t learn not to cry.”

Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting looked at Hai Guanchao again: "..."

Master Hai Guanchao was forced to freeze halfway through his posture, feeling extremely uncomfortable: So why on earth are you looking at him like this? I don’t understand, what did he say wrong? ?

……

Xie Lingya has a more cheerful personality, and because of the opening of fetching water, he is getting along well with the surrounding vendors these days. When he inquired, he really found out that there are rental shops in the back street.

The back street, that is, the street of the vegetable market.

The street facing the road, facing Jingui Pedestrian Street, Liming Square, etc., the rent is naturally much more expensive, but the back is different, much cheaper.

Xie Lingya also considered a place farther away, and in the end, together with Hai Guanchao, if he rented a place farther away, there would be fewer people, and it would be inconvenient to eat and live.In this area, the rent is higher and the facade is smaller, but it is close to Baoyang Temple and there are many residents nearby.

Xie Lingya even said: "At worst, I will open the back door, and then I will put up a sign in front to guide you, so that people can pass through our Taoist temple to the back, so that it will not be difficult to find the location."

Hai Guanchao couldn't help laughing, and felt more and more that this young man was really interesting.

"Over there on Mingxi Road." When he said this, Bai Lu's senior deliberately took a puff of smoke to make his face look more mysterious in the smog, and then said two words emphatically, "Haunted! "

Bai Lu blinked her wide eyes, "Oh?"

"So if you go to the pedestrian street to sing K at night, you'd better take a boy with you, the boy is full of yang." The senior inadvertently revealed his purpose.

Bai Lu smiled, "Oh..."

Seeing that she didn't care, the senior said again: "Hey, I'm serious, do you know someone named He Zun in the next class? I saw a ghost twice on Mingxi Road, and once I finished singing K like you. Once I was with the people in their dormitory, and now I carry amulets with me in every dormitory, and I go to the Taoist temple to burn incense if I have nothing to do."

This matter was widely circulated in the school, how could Bai Lu not know about it, she said a little amusedly: "Senior, you don't really believe it, do you? This matter is obviously related to the Taoist temple on the pedestrian street."

The senior said: "Isn't it related? That's where Fu asked for it."

"I mean, this should be the marketing plan of that Taoist temple." Bai Lu said helplessly, "There are so many people hyped up now, and you wouldn't be able to recognize them under another cover?"

"You mean, He Zun and the others also received money from the Taoist temple?" The senior pondered carefully, and it seemed that it was really possible, after all, they just talked about it.

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows and said, "This is called superficial supernaturalness."

Senior: "..."

Hey, wait, why did this topic change, the senior said again: "But you still have to be careful at night, people are scarier than ghosts."

Bai Lu laughed again, "It's okay, it's a lively place."

After all, the seniors failed to succeed, but no matter how lively a place is, it is not the same all night and day.

That night, when Bai Lu and her friends came out after singing K, all the facades of Jingui Pedestrian Street were closed, and there was no one on the whole street. Did not spend the night here.

The direction of the others was different from hers, everyone waved goodbye, and the friend left after seeing that Bai Lu had booked a car using the app, and asked her to report that she was safe when she went back.

"Understood." Bai Lu looked down as she walked, and was about to wait for the bus at the intersection. At this time, the driver dialed and told her that she was going home, but she accidentally took another order because she was not familiar with the software, please cancel it. .

Bai Lu was very speechless, but she could only cancel and call a taxi again.

Bai Lu suddenly felt something was wrong. On the quiet street, her high heels ticked on the ground, but when she listened carefully, there seemed to be a trace of other sounds mixed in.

With Bai Lu's fairly sensitive ears, it sounded like...very light footsteps?

What the senior said during the day came to mind, but it was obviously a lie, and Mingxi Road is still a few minutes away from here, so it shouldn't be...

Someone must be behind.Thinking about it, Bai Lu suddenly looked back.

Empty streets, no one was there.

"..." Bai Lu turned around and continued walking. Could it be that she misheard just now?

It must have been a mistake, Bai Lu comforted herself.But at this moment, I heard a few obvious footsteps behind me, it can't be the kind of illusion.

Bai Lu looked back again, almost frightened out of her wits.

A distorted grimace floated in mid-air in the darkness, the eyes were empty, the mouth was opened wide to reveal a blood-red tongue, and the face was twisted so that the cheeks were retracted.

Bai Lu's legs almost went limp, her heart beat wildly, her face turned pale.

At this time, the ghost face paused for a moment and quickly came towards this side, Bai Lu finally saw clearly that this was not a ghost face floating in mid-air, but someone wearing a black robe and a ghost mask!

Bai Lu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she was indeed human, but not a good person!

That mask at night was really scary, not to mention thinking of his possible purpose, Bai Lu screamed and ran wildly, desperately pressing on the phone, but unfortunately, the more she got anxious, the more she made a mistake, and she threw the phone out with a slip of her hand.She wanted to pick up her mobile phone, but she and the ghost-masked man were a man and a woman, and she was still wearing high heels, and when she looked back, the ghost-masked man had chased him a lot.

At this moment, Bai Lu thought a lot. Although it was two o'clock in the morning, would there be any vendors or passers-by on the street who could hear her?If there is no luck, can giving the wallet to this pervert guarantee that he will not get hurt?

...But this kind of dress is really unbelievable!Bai Lu burst into tears, she didn't dare to stop, and continued to run.

Bai Lu's heart was beating wildly, her head was dizzy, she was afraid and regretted.She couldn't help turning her head again, only to see that the ghost-faced man was only three or four meters away from her, and she could almost hear the man panting, his heart beating faster, and his screams getting louder.

The ghost-masked man said in a low voice, "Little bitch, you still run away..."

As soon as the words were finished, the ghost-masked man on the flat ground somehow fell like a dog eating shit, jumped forward and slid a few meters, almost touching Bai Lu's calf.

Bai Lu screamed and kicked him in the face, then continued to run wildly.

Running to the intersection, although there was no one around the square, there seemed to be a car approaching in the distance. Bai Lu looked back and saw the ghost-faced man got up and continued to run with a limp.

It's over, it's over, it won't be too late, Bai Lu just finished thinking about it, when the ghost-masked man fell into shit again.

This time Bai Lu saw it with her own eyes, the fall was so bad, she couldn't believe that someone could fall so badly on the ground.

"..." Bai Lu was in a daze when she saw the door next to her suddenly open, and a very good-looking boy leaned out, "Beauty, are you calling?"

Bai Lu was ecstatic, pointing at the ghost face and said: "That man wants to rob! Please report to the police!"

The boy opened the door completely, took out his mobile phone and dialed, and said by the way: "You come in."

Bai Lu didn't have any hesitation, she took a few steps to the door, "Close the door first!"

Although this little brother is good-looking, his body is not very tall and strong, and the ghost-faced man behind him looks very perverted, what should he do if he fights without closing the door.

But the boy didn't mean to close the door, instead he said, "Hey, look."

After he finished speaking, he reported the alarm information to the phone. Bai Lu poked his head curiously, and found that the ghost-masked man who fell twice in a row seemed to have fallen to the ground for the third time, and this time he didn't get up, but rolled around a few times with his head in his arms. , shouting indiscriminately: "Help! There is a ghost!"

Bai Lu's face turned pale, this man shouted too strangely, and his movements were also weird, and thinking about his inexplicable fall just now, "He, he..."

The boy looked at her expectantly, "Huh?"

Bai Lu: "He's mentally ill!"

Boy: "..."

Bai Lu said coldly, "It's too scary, maybe it's not a robbery, it's a madman getting sick."

"...I've finished reporting to the police, don't be afraid." The boy put away his phone depressedly.

The ghost-masked man rolled twice, looked up and rushed over again: "Help!"

The boy quickly closed the door, and the ghost-masked man lay outside and knocked on the door: "Fuck your mother, open the door! Aren't you a fucking Taoist temple? There are ghosts here!"

Bai Lu: "..."

Boy: "...I'm fucking you."

Bai Lu wanted to laugh inexplicably, maybe she judges people by their appearance, why is this boy a little cute when he scolds someone, he looks like he doesn't want to talk to people outside, but when the other party scolds someone, he must scold him back, and...

"Is this a Taoist temple?"

"..." the boy said, "You just found out?"

The police came very quickly, and within 2 minutes, they rushed to the scene and caught the ghost-masked man. The ghost-masked man cried with joy when he saw them, "You are finally here!"

police:"……"

Bai Lu took the opportunity to rush up and kicked him a few times. The policeman waited for her to stop before reaching out, "Okay, don't hit anyone."

Bai Lu scolded: "Crazy people can break the law at will?"

The mask of the ghost-faced man has been lifted, and the exposed face is bruised and swollen because of the fall just now. He said loudly: "Who is crazy, you are crazy, you can't see ghosts!"

Bai Lu: "I see, it's you!"

The police didn't bother to care, and said to the boy: "Xiao Xie is good, you helped a little girl again, fortunately you heard."

This is the police officer Wang from last time. He thinks that the young people holding the Yang Temple are pretty good, and they help people intentionally or unintentionally. This is what a monk should do.

"Hey, I didn't do anything." Xie Lingya rubbed his eyes, what did he hear? His backyard was still some distance away, and he was completely woken up by Qin Limin blowing the wind out of the window. At that moment, he regretted letting him go. What did Qin Limin do patrolling?

At this moment, no one else could see that Qin Limin was floating above everyone and kept thinking, "I have done something, I have done something, I have done something..."

……

……

The next afternoon, Xie Lingya received a call from policeman Xiao Wang, saying that the girl was going to give him a pennant last night.

Xie Lingya was startled: "...Ah? Not so much?"

It's understandable to send a silk banner to Qin Limin, but the girl couldn't see Qin Limin, and she didn't believe it. He didn't force Amway after finding out last night.

Officer Wang laughed, "Will it be the case, don't you have any idea?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

In the police station, Bai Lu blushed and handed a pennant to Xie Lingya. She originally wanted to go to the Taoist temple, but Xie Lingya said forget it.

At this moment, Xie Lingya smiled dryly: "Thank you... I really deserve it. You should pay more attention in the future."

"Yeah, I see." Bai Lu blushed even more.

The ghost-masked man was talking nonsense, probably sick, at least Bai Lu thought so.However, this did not prevent her from changing her view of Baoyang, and decided to drink more tea in the future.

When Xie Lingya returned with the pennant, the temple happened to be relatively free, Zhang Daoting and Hai Guanchao were sitting there drinking tea.

"Hey, where did you get the pennant?" Zhang Daoting asked.

Xie Lingya didn't bother anyone else last night, so he replied, "Well, of course it was a gift from someone else."

"That's good, let's hang it up." Zhang Daoting said excitedly, "We also have a pennant, which believer gave it to us, what is written on it, the infinity? Our Taoist temple is so spiritual, someone should have given it to us long ago!"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Zhang Daoting and Hai Guanchao didn't know why he was a bit inexplicable, "How did you get here?"

Hai Guanchao said lightly: "Well, it doesn't say 'Boundless Mana' is written on it?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya turned the pennant over, it was clearly written "Be brave in the face of righteousness", and by the way, he talked about what happened last night.

Although he knew in his heart that Qin Limin had indeed helped, in the eyes of outsiders, the whole process was clearly the result of criminals rushing to the street three times. He fell ill, took the girl into hiding, and helped call the police. At most, he just scolded her. One word sir...

"So the meaning of this first pennant is actually written as 'be brave for righteousness' and pronounced as 'you are so beautiful'?" Hai Guanchao said, "Then you still hang up?"

"Hang up!" Xie Lingya said viciously, "Why don't I hang up the pennant I received based on my appearance!"
