Part-Time Taoist Priest

On the second day, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan took the high-speed train back to Fuyang together. When they were waiting at the ticket gate, a girl who was also waiting next to the bus couldn't help but said: "Your doll is so cute..."

The facial features of Shang Lushen on Shi Changhang's shoulders are lifelike, and he is still wearing overalls, especially the owner is so good-looking.In fact, he was walking outside with Shang Lushen hanging on him, and many people were staring at him all the time.

The girl looked at the side after finishing speaking, and added: "Is it very popular to hang dolls on the body now?"

Is it popular?

Xie Lingya followed her gaze and looked to the side. The ticket gate on the left had already started to line up for ticket checking. At the end of the queue was a man in his 40s and [-]s. He was wearing a peaked cap and his face could not be seen clearly.

It is worth noting that there is a two-inch-tall wooden figurine pinned to this man's hat, which seems to be harder than the shanglushen. After all, it is wood, and the shanglushen is a plant root.The top of this little wooden figurine's head is painted black, just like the hair, and it also has clothes on its body, but they are rougher, reminding Xie Lingya of the one he made back then.

Shang Lushen whispered in Shi Changxuan's ear: "Liu Linglang, Liu Linglang, was born by the side of a wild road in the wilderness, please be a god general but be a minion."

Shi Changxuan frowned slightly.

Shang Lushen said again: "Fortune meets Fuyin... loses... dies and gets the canopy... hey!"

After freezing several times, he finally shut up in frustration, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

At this time, the man turned his head slightly, although the brim of his hat was pulled down, but Xie Lingya always felt that he was looking at this side.It stands to reason that at this distance, he should not be able to hear them talking about him, and he should not be able to see this person's eyes.But Xie Lingya just had the feeling of being watched.

However, the man only looked at it for two seconds before turning around, as if his action was just a coincidence, but Xie Lingya always felt that it was not an illusion just now.

The queue next door gradually moved forward, and the man checked the entrance ticket.Xie Lingya looked up and saw that the train next door was bound for the provincial capital of Quedong, which was running in the opposite direction from their direction.

"...This person gives me a very uncomfortable feeling." Xie Lingya murmured.

At this time, the train they were on started to check tickets, and everyone around them stood up and stepped forward to line up, including the girl who spoke to them.

Only then did Shi Changxuan say: "The one on his hat is Liu Lingtong."

When they went to dig Shang Lushen before, Shi Changxuan explained to him the origin of this technique.

Both Liu Lingtong and Shanglu God belong to the god of ear reward, and the sacrifice method is roughly the same, but the difference is that Shanglu God is a natural wood spirit, while Liu Lingtong, also called Liu Linglang, is a statue of broken willow branches, and then Putting the souls of the dead in it is called "pretending to enter the body", and the dead souls of children who died violently are the best, because the Yuanyang has not been vented, and there is less anger.

Regardless of whether it is Shanglu God or Liu Lingtong, ascetics raise them, if they cultivate merit, their souls will ascend to heaven or be reincarnated, and if they are used to do unrighteous acts, they will be punished.

"No wonder he seems to know that we're talking about him..." Xie Lingya didn't expect to meet a second person with the God of Ear Retribution, although it was only from a distance.

He still felt that this person gave him an uncomfortable feeling just now, but now he can't help but guess whether this person's Liu Lingtong is pretending to be a resentful dead soul.

That person had already disappeared, Shi Changxuan frowned and said: "Shang Lu God wanted to calculate him just now, but he changed his words repeatedly, but he couldn't give an accurate number."

Xie Lingya was surprised that Shang Lushen's forecast would not be very long, it could be as short as a few minutes, and if it was long, it would only be a few days at present.Fate will change, it will predict the most likely one.

A person's fate usually doesn't change repeatedly in a short period of time, and it makes them feel wrong to change like Mr. Gao.

But Shang Lushen repeatedly changed his words, indicating that this person may have been "doing things", resulting in too many variables, and Shang Lushen could not predict a relatively certain fate.

"But God Shang Lu mentioned Ming De Hua Gai, plus this person raised Liu Lingtong, he is likely to be a monk." Shi Changxuan said again, Xing Ming Hua Gai is a star of art, and a person's life can be very likely Lofty, intelligent, and related to gods and Buddhas, it is the material for learning spells.

Shi Changxuan also repeated the sentence that Shang Lushen had read before, "Liu Linglang, Liu Linglang, was born by the side of the wilderness road, please be a god general but be a slave. To be a tiger, he probably has nothing to do with this Liu Lingtong Good thing."

In this way, it would be very difficult for that Liu Lingtong to be reincarnated.

Xie Lingya sighed when he heard the words, the high-speed train bound for the provincial capital had already started, and it was carrying the man and Liu Lingtong away at a speeding speed. We just met by chance, and he could only feel sorry for it at this time.

Shang Lu's fetish hurt Qi Lei, and whispered: "...Hold yourself tight!"

Shi Changxuan listened to Shang Lushen's nagging for a long time, and stayed with Xie Lingya for a long time, so he couldn't help but said calmly at this time: "You can't move."

Shang Lushen: "Oh!"

After Xie Lingya went back, another good thing happened. He had posted a recruitment notice before, but now two people have applied for the job. This is also because Baoyang Temple has recently become more popular.

Both of them were over [-] years old, and had experience in practicing in other temples. Xie Lingya asked Shi Changxuan to help them test it out, and they both had solid foundations, so they were accepted into the temple.

One of the Taoist names is Hou Xuzhong, and the other is Liu Bohe.Not only can Zhang Daoting's burden be relieved, but Hou Xuzhong also has experience and can release the lottery.

The spiritual lottery is also a kind of divination tool, made of bamboo and wood strips, with a lottery number on it, you can shake your lottery from the lottery tube, and you can find the corresponding lottery poem to solve the lottery.Many temples and Taoist temples have such divination tools, and it costs ten yuan and 20 yuan to untie the sign, which is also an income.

As for Liu Bohe, he is also very proficient in fasting sacrifices. It is said that he also participated in some local high-level music classes in the previous temples.

It's just that Baoyang Temple's residence is not enough, Xie Lingya had to tidy up the sundry room, and scattered all the things into his own room and Zhang Daoting's room, and separated two bedrooms.

Hou Xuzhong and Liu Bo have no objection to merging. You must know that they slept in and out of bed in the previous temple.

Xie Lingya thought to himself, he still had to save money quickly, otherwise he would not be able to accommodate the Taoist priests he recruited in the future, Baoyang Temple is too small.It is impossible that more and more believers will be in the future, but their full-time Taoist priests will have to rent a house to stay, so what is it called "living Taoist priests".

……

In addition, Xie Lingya also received an invitation from Aima Ding.

The shopping mall that Ding Aima participated in during his lifetime has finally been renovated and opened for business recently.Ding Aima warmly invites the ghosts he knows to visit his "new home".

"..." Xie Lingya felt that something was weird, but he went to join him anyway.

Before going out, he watched the sea tide and asked Xie Lingya: "Where is Mr. Xie going?"

Xie Lingya thought for a while and said, "I'm going shopping."

Hai Guanchao: "Then you can bring some roll paper back from the supermarket..."

"Oh." Xie Lingya broke into a sweat and went out.

"Mr. Xie, you can get the coupons over there." Ding Aima greeted Xie Lingya at the door, showed him where to get the coupons, and introduced to him the business on each floor of the mall.

Ding Aima said: "I usually like to stay in the movie theater on the fifth floor and watch movies. Movies are too expensive, but unfortunately I can't watch 3D ones. Or lie in the home furnishing store on the third floor, with a very big bed. I have never slept in such a big bed when I was alive..."

Xie Lingya: "..."

... Xie Lingya felt very sad when he heard it, and Ding Aima also greeted Qin Limin, who was also a guest, to be careful when he was floating, and be careful not to be found to have ghosts here.

"Aima, what floor is the supermarket on?" Xie Lingya asked when Hai Guanchao said that the roll paper was gone.

"On the first floor." A young beauty next to her answered faster than Ding Aima, and smiled at Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya was stunned for a moment. "Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome." Seeing Xie Lingya's appearance, the beauty felt that the two of them were destined, and opened up the topic, "Are you from the Northeast? We are half fellows, and my mother is also from the Northeast."

"No." Xie Lingya answered in bewilderment before he realized that there were black lines. He was from the Northeast. He was calling Ding Aima, not Ouch.

Ding Aima stood beside him and hesitated for a while, "Should I not be here?"

"Thank you, goodbye." Xie Lingya hurriedly thanked him again, and then walked to the supermarket.

"Mr. Xie, what are you looking for? I know everything, let me tell you." Ding Aima actually searched all the shopping malls in a short period of time, and asked Xie Lingya very enthusiastically, more active than a shopping guide.

Xie Lingya lamented that he had also enjoyed the VIP service once. Under the guidance of Ding Aima, he got the most cost-effective tissue paper and bought some daily necessities with huge discounts.

While queuing, Xie Lingya met that "half fellow" beauty again, and she laughed at Xie Lingya, "What a coincidence."

"Coincidental." Xie Lingya smiled awkwardly.

The beauty didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued to chat, this time changing the subject: "Hey, did you know? When this shopping mall was under construction, it was haunted by ghosts."

As soon as she said it, there were people in the same queue who looked at it with interest, and an aunt even said to her companion, "I seem to have heard of it."

Xie Lingya glanced at Ding Aima: "...I don't know."

The beauty said: "Don't you know? Someone fell from the building when the construction started, and then became a ghost. The workers here, as well as passers-by, were harassed."

Xie Lingya glanced at Ding Aima again, and said dryly, "Is it so scary?"

Ding Aima lowered her head in shame: "It's all old calendars."

"But don't be afraid, it's not haunted anymore." The beauty said mysteriously, "Do you know why?"

Xie Lingya thought about it: "I guess... I don't know."

The beauty pointed in one direction, "It is said that it is because they were suppressed by the Baoyang Temple nearby. They are Wang Lingguan. Do you know Wang Lingguan? The Taoist Dharma protector, how could he allow ghosts to haunt around his place? Living!"

Xie Lingya: "..."

The beauty added: "I also heard what my colleague said."

Ding Aima pouted beside him, "Nonsense. Qin Limin is still patrolling in front of the temple."

Seeing Xie Lingya's speechless expression, the beauty didn't think about anything else, but felt that she had failed to strike up a conversation and was quite disappointed.

In fact, apart from being speechless, Xie Lingya was in a good mood.Although what this girl said is a little wrong, but it reflects a situation, that is, the popularity of their Baoyang Temple in the hearts of the citizens has become higher and higher, and it has become more and more reliable, and the fame of the ancestor master has also been spread.

From this point of view, it is still good.

Xie Lingya came back with a full load. When he returned, he saw Liu Bohe preaching to the old lady who was chatting in the yard. "Preventing disasters is easier than rescuing disasters. It is the same as preventing diseases. Therefore, we should accumulate virtue and seek blessings in normal times. We cannot wait until When disaster strikes, I only think of going..."

The old lady: "Take advantage of the time!"

Liu Bohe: "..."

Old lady: "Oh, please God!"

Liu Bohe: "...Yes. So people need to know how disasters come about, and pay more attention to their own words and deeds."

After all, Liu Bohe was older than Zhang Daoting, and had been studying for a long time, so he spoke the scriptures in a simple way, and he looked older, so some believers who judge people by their appearances also found it more convincing.

Of course, it is not enough to just sell amulets to solve the lottery, and it is necessary to publicize the teachings and ideas to everyone in order to be truly convinced.

Seeing this situation, Xie Lingya felt very relieved.

……

At the same time, in the Temple of Supreme Harmony, Chen Sansheng said very apologetically to the other end of the phone: "I haven't recovered yet, so I really can't undertake this matter."

"This...is it true that other mages in our view can't do it? Like Master Zhu, he is also a high-level contemporary master."

"Well, then there may be someone who meets your requirements."

Xie Lingya gave Liu Bohe a piece of yellow cloth, and he was going to teach lay Buddhists the classics.Aunts and mother-in-laws liked to listen to Liu Bohe's lectures, and Xie Lingya also told Liu Bohe that many of his lectures involved the principles of life.So after some time, some believers offered to study scriptures seriously.

Zhang Daoting has never enjoyed this kind of treatment, at most people ask him for advice, he is really tender.

The place where the scriptures are placed needs to be paved with yellow and red cloth, so Xie Lingya brought a small amount of cloth.

After Xie Lingya gave the cloth to Liu Bohe, he took out another piece of paper and pasted it on the wall. On it was written the eight characters "Learn the classics, avoid the gods".The paper is yellowed, this is Wang Yuji's handwriting before his death.

Many of the believers here have recently come into contact with Taoism because of Baoyang Temple, so they asked: "Master Taoist, what do these words mean?"

Liu Bohe explained: "Reciting the scriptures, Liujia came to protect and support, which has the effect of saving others and oneself. Reciting the scriptures alone will benefit the surrounding vegetation, insects and ants. But if you read the wrong one, it will also hurt the living beings. We I am not very proficient when I am studying, so I have to avoid it and learn to be proficient in private."

If you make a mistake when chanting the scriptures in public, you must correct it in time, otherwise you will not be able to save people, but will harm them instead.

Like Shi Changxuan and Xie Lingya's practice of saving dead souls, if the scriptures are read incorrectly, then the dead souls have heard the wrong content, and of course they can't think about it.When they can't think about it, the person who saved him has no merit and virtue, and has sins.

Xie Lingya always reads the book when it is time to use it, so he only learned a few paragraphs about how to save the souls of the dead.At this time, I stood by the side and listened to the "Eternal Purity and Tranquility Sutra".

The full name of this sutra is "Taishang Laojun Said Chang Qingjing Sutra", but it is only more than 500 words, and it is one of the sutras often recited by Taoists.

Xie Lingya heard Liu Bohe read it once and remembered it. He still wanted to explain, so Xie Lingya went out.Everyone has a different understanding of the scriptures. Xie Lingya felt that he had some insights after hearing it, so he stopped listening to Liu Bohe for the time being, so as not to fight in his head for a while.

After Xie Lingya went out, he cleaned up the sundries, went out to take out the trash, and saw a luxury car parked at the entrance of Baoyang Temple, a man in his 50s came down from it, and then Shi Changxuan also got down from it.

"Daoist Shi." Xie Lingya casually greeted them, looking at them curiously, not knowing who it was.

The man looked up at the plaque of Baoyang Temple, showing some surprise, and said, "Baoyang Temple, you live here?"

Shi Changxuan nodded.

The man slapped his forehead, "It's God's will!"

Xie Lingya: "This is?"

Shi Changxuan replied: "I found it through Guanzhu Chen."

Chen Sansheng's body was not recovered, and people came to ask him to do things one after another, and he couldn't refuse some, such as the one in front of him.He saw that Chen Sansheng really couldn't go out, so he asked him to recommend someone.

Chen Sansheng originally wanted to go to other Taoists in his temple, but this person didn't agree, so Chen Sansheng had no choice but to recommend him to find Shi Changxuan.This person ran to Quedong College to find Shi Changxuan.

Although Shi Changxuan only said one sentence, Xie Lingya guessed it after thinking for a while, "That's right. Did you agree?"

He was a little strange, the two of them could make an appointment on their own, so why did they bring them back to Baoyang Temple.

Before Shi Changxuan could speak, the man had already stretched out his hand, and said a little excitedly: "My lord Tang Qi, is this teacher your surname Xie?"

Xie Lingya shook hands with him: "You know me?"

Tang Qi said with emotion: "When I first asked about this, there was a friend you should know. Mr. Gao Xianliang, Mr. Gao, recommended Baoyang Temple to me. He also said that there is a teacher Xie here. I am ashamed to say that I checked it out at the time. I felt that the scale was too small, so I turned to Chen Guanzhu of Taihe Temple. Chen Guanzhu was not feeling well, so he asked me to ask Daoist Shi if he would like to make a move. came back!"

Only then did Xie Lingya realize that there was still such a setback in it, and said politely: "Then we are still destined."

Tang Qi said: "Yes, I actually bought a piece of mountain land, and I wanted to ask a priest to give me some advice on geomantic omen. By the way, I did a ritual, because some bones came out during the land preparation. Then Daoist Shi said, I have to come back and ask someone. Haha, I must be asking you, right?"

Does Shi Changxuan still need to ask someone?Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan in puzzlement.

Shi Changxuan was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Tang is in a hurry to do it, and needs dozens of talismans..."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya instantly understood, and gestured, "OK, let's go in and chat."

……

Tang Qi has a wealthy family. He recently bought a large mountain land, which also contains hot springs, and wants to create a tourist resort.It was recently bulldozed and some bones were found.

It's not uncommon to have dead bones on this mountain, but it also reminds Tang Qi that he must be careful when doing business on the mountain, and he has to hire people to do things.Furthermore, it is to carefully plan Feng Shui.Compared with Mr. Gao before, he still believes in this.When buying land, I only bought it because I saw the mountain was very good. Now, of course, I have to pay attention to the construction.

Tang Qi felt that Chen Sansheng had some cultivation before, but he had heard of the Shi family in the provincial capital.Seeing that Shi Changxuan wanted to ask Xie Lingya now, he even changed his impression of Xie Lingya and Baoyang Guan.When Mr. Gao recommended it to him before, he not only thought it was small, but also secretly felt that he had no skills.

"I'm in a hurry when I do things. Time is money. Why does it take three days to finish something that can be done in one day?" Tang Qi said, "If it's possible, I'll take the two of you up the mountain tomorrow."

Although Xie Lingya didn't know much about Fengshui, but Shi Changxuan understood it, so he helped to arrange the ritual affairs and play the role of a human flesh seal machine.

In this way, both of them agreed, and everyone hit it off.

"By the way, you two won't mind if there is something?" Tang Qi suddenly thought of something, scratched his head and said, "My plan for a vacation spot includes a hot spring villa and a Buddhist temple."

Xie Lingya: "??"

Tang Qi said innocently: "I have already made an appointment with an eminent monk, and he will be the abbot at my place."

Xie Lingya: "..."

It is of course common to build temples in scenic spots.

However, Xie Lingya originally thought that Tang Qi was a believer, but only now did he realize that Tang Qi could believe in whatever spirit he was, or he believed in money, because it is true that Buddhist temples are easier to do now.

Just asking Taoist priests to look at Fengshui for the site selection of Buddhist temples is too much of a show.

Does your eminent monk know? ?

On the contrary, Shi Changxuan was more calm. After all, he studied religion, and said to Xie Lingya: "Buddhism doesn't talk about Feng Shui, it only talks about blessings."

In the Buddhist scriptures, Sakyamuni clearly stipulated that Buddhist disciples should not engage in Fengshui divination, and choose auspicious days and good days. If some Buddhist disciples do this, it can only show that they are deceiving or breaking the rules. They are doing this kind of operation. Known as "evil life".

So Tang Qi, the boss, wanted to look at Feng Shui, so of course he found a way.Thinking about it, even if the monk knew it, it probably didn't matter. After all, it was Tang Qi who read Feng Shui and not them, although it would be a bit strange to say it.

What else can Xie Lingya say, "...Hey, the monk doesn't mind anymore, what do we mind!"
