Part-Time Taoist Priest

Dharma seals are important ritual objects of Taoism. There are many types, each with its own effect, such as the military seal used to drive ghosts and gods and generals, and the appointment seal representing the priesthood of Taoism.

Ordinary people may think that the sword is the most representative of Taoist magic tools. In fact, in the eyes of experts, the magic seal is more important.For example, the chief seal of the Taiqing sect can be used to invite gods, play a watch, or affix it to a talisman that needs the help of the old king.

And some ancient dharma seals handed down from generation to generation have even more background.

For example, Zhang Daoling used it and passed it down to the descendants of Yangping Zhidu Gongyin. It got its name because Wudoumi Dao established 24 governances, that is, 24 missionary sites. .

Therefore, this Yangping Zhidu Merit Seal is not only a powerful magic weapon, but also a treasure of the altar, but also a symbol of the status of a celestial master.

——It is an ancient cultural relic, which was originally treasured in a museum.

Xie Lingya really didn't know who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and dared to steal something with several meanings.Did you think about the consequences before stealing?What you have to face is not only the sanctions of the country's laws, but also the anger of the Taoist priests!

"I'm afraid this person is well prepared and not afraid to cast a curse." Shi Changxuan followed him and replied, "Originally, there were also talismans in the exhibition hall of Yangping Zhidu Gongyin, but the spell was broken. Provincial Road Association After quickly checking the scene, it turns out that the seal of Yangping’s rule of the capital should have been stolen by someone from the Daoist sect, and his cultivation level is so advanced that it can’t be tracked down for a while.”

"One of our own?" Xie Lingya was surprised and thought, no wonder this person dared to steal the capital seal. He turned out to be an expert, and he was bold, "Aren't there any clues now?"

People are not everywhere, but ghosts and gods are everywhere. Taoist priests can communicate with ghosts and gods, but the Provincial Road Association has not found out the identity of this person, which shows that he is very skilled and managed to hide his identity and whereabouts.

Shi Changxuan thought about it: "It can only be speculated that the inheritance of the dharma lineage may be from the Shenxiao sect."

Shenxiao Sect is the predecessor of Zhengyi, one of the branches of Tianshidao, the main practice is Leifa, and the founder is Wang Wenqing.It is not a problem to say that it is closely related to Zhengyi, since it originally came from Zhengyi.

However, there are still many factions under the Shenxiao faction. This clue is still too general, and I don't know which line to trace it to.

There is also a chance that it is only judged based on the spells used by the thief, so I say "possible", because he may not really be from the Shenxiao sect.

Even speaking of it, Baoyang Temple can also be related to the Shenxiao sect.

Sa Shoujian and Sa Zu were instructed by Wang Wenqing, Lin Lingsu and others from the Shenxiao sect to teach Leifa back then.Then, the Sazu French descendants gradually derived into Sazu Sect, Xihe Sect, and Tianshan Sect.

Sa Zu accepted Wang Lingguan as his disciple, and Baoyang Temple took Wang Lingguan as his patriarch, so there was a relationship of twists and turns.

The relationship within the Taoist sect is intricate, and it is really difficult to determine the identity of this person just by knowing that he knows the spells of the Shenxiao sect.

"There are so many high-level people in the Provincial Road Association, including the current Tianshi family. There are so many high-level people, it's hard to find anyone." Xie Lingya said incredulously, "Then this person must have a high level of cultivation. Don't have a guess?"

"How vast China is." Shi Changxuan only explained it in this way, and it made sense. Apart from those in the Daoist Association, there were also some folk experts. "And this person came prepared, leaving almost no trace."

It's no wonder that this person has a high level of cultivation, and he still uses intention to deal with Wuxin.Even the mages in the provincial capital couldn't find out, let alone Xie Lingya didn't know the faction distribution that well.

Xie Lingya thought to himself, but it is impossible for this person to steal without showing his trace forever, and he will be found sooner or later.

Shi Changxuan's family is also of the same line, in the provincial capital, so a message was sent to him to know.

"In two days, it should be made public." Shi Changxuan said.

Yangping's ruling capital is too important, and it has historical significance. Regardless of the country or the Zhengyi factions, they must try their best to recover it.

The next day, Shi Changxuan went to the provincial capital, he had to go home.

……

Two days later, the Taoist Association of Fuyang City really held a meeting to talk about this matter.

Of course, this was an unrecorded private meeting. Chen Sansheng called together experts and announced an even more explosive news.

——On the second night of the theft of Yangping Zhidu Gongyin, the three-five-slashing evil male and female sword also disappeared!

Before Zhang Tianshi ascended to heaven, he handed down the Three Treasures, one sword, one seal, and one fingernail. The burning of the nails could invite Zhang Tianshi to come to the world, but it has disappeared.These seals have just been stolen from the museum, and the remaining three-five evil-slaying male and female swords were originally kept by the descendants of the celestial masters, but they were also lost.

The Three-Five Slashing Evil is known as the number one dharma sword in Taoism. It has runes and images of stars, sun and moon on it. It is divided into two swords, male and female. The male sword is enshrined in the Tianshi family, and the female sword is kept in the Tianshi hall.

It was the male and female swords that were stolen from two places at the same time on the second day after Yu Du Gongyin was stolen.

Today's Huaxia Taoist sect is dominated by Zhengyi and Quanzhen sects. The treasure of the founder of Zhengyi was stolen. This news can be said to have shocked the entire Taoist sect.

Why did this person steal the capital seal and the three-five evil sword?How did you steal it?What is he stealing it for?Buying and selling cultural relics, or for personal use?And what is the real identity of this person?

As soon as Chen Sansheng finished speaking, the scene was buzzing, and everyone had infinite sighs and questions.

Xie Lingya was better than others because he had gotten wind of it before, but he didn't know that the Three-Five Slashing Evil Sword was also lost, and Shi Changxuan never came back.

"The thief who stole is undoubtedly a cultivator. Now let everyone know this news. It is the Daoist Association. I hope that all colleagues will pay more attention. If you have relevant clues, please call to report. If the clues are true, you can lead them to the country. The bonuses from the Daoist Association, the Daoist Association, and the Celestial Master Family are in the millions." Chen Sansheng said seriously, "So, I also hope that everyone will do it after they go back..."

Xie Lingya couldn't help sitting upright when he heard that the reward for reporting was millions of dollars, and he became even more excited when he heard what happened next.

Come, come, call the Taoist priests all over the world to curse those who steal things together?

As a result, Chen Sansheng said: "...notify the ancestors of our sect, city gods and other gods, and pray for this matter."

It's not a curse.Xie Lingya was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, there were no clues, maybe it was not easy to curse.

Asking everyone to go back and report to the gods is actually a way to collect clues. Isn't it normal for Taoists to turn to ghosts and gods for help.

When the Taoist priests heard this, they discussed again.

Chen Sansheng also printed out pictures of the Sanwu Zhanxie Sword and the Dugong Seal (including the printed stamp) and distributed them to everyone.

When the two treasures are lost, no one cares about feeling ashamed, and is afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of it, so hurry up and solicit clues.

Xie Lingya looked at it and put the picture away.Although Huaxia is vast and the sea of ​​people is vast, the chance of bumping into it is very small, but at any rate, Fuyang is not far from the provincial capital and the Temple of Heavenly Masters, so what if there is a chance?

Even if you provide a clue, there are 100 million. Xie Lingya is short of money, and while sympathizing with the museum and the Tianshi family, he is also a little bit salivating.

After Xie Lingya returned, he saw that Shi Changxuan had also returned.

"Daoist Shi, we had a meeting just now to publicly solicit clues about Dugong Seal and Three-Five Slashing Evil Sword." Xie Lingya said, "Do you have any inside information?"

Shi Changxuan said with a solemn expression: "When I went back, all the mages gathered in the provincial capital to discuss the matter of tracking down the Dugong seal, but they tried many methods, but they failed to identify the thief. The sword was also stolen, and there were not many traces. Even this time, this person used the Dugong Seal to deal with the ghosts and gods guarding the Slashing Evil Sword."

Like the Dugong seal, there must be talismans and the like next to the Three-Five Slashing Evil Sword, but this person has the Dugong seal, and it is probably easier to break the spell.

So the mages from the Provincial Road Association went to the Tianshi Temple to check again, but they already knew it, and there was still only one broad clue that this person might be a descendant of the Shenxiao Sect.

Shi Changxuan didn't go into details, but Xie Lingya knew that the most typical and famous of the Shenxiao sect was Lei Fa, and that person might have used the Lei Talisman to be identified as the descendant of the Shenxiao sect.

But still the same sentence, the relationship between Taoism and sects is intricate, some thunder methods of Shenxiao sect are still entrusted to Sazu as the main method, and Baoyang Temple also has thunder methods passed down.

"I hope to recover the cultural relics as soon as possible." Xie Lingya thought in his heart, it would be best if he could also contribute and earn more than 100 million yuan!

Leaving aside the matter of being far away in the provincial capital, in his spare time, Fang Zhe really finished the small bed of God Shang Lu, made of willow wood, and it was an ancient canopy bed.

Although it is small in size, it has all kinds of pillars, dust bearings, and decorations. It is painted reddish brown and dried in the sun. It is completely a miniature version of an adult bed, which is extremely exquisite.Xie Lingya put the canopy bed on the table and admired it, thinking it was simply art.

It was also the first time for Xie Lingya to see Fang Zhe's handiwork in real objects. Before that, he had only seen pictures of some furniture that Fang Zhe had punched. He did not expect that such a small object could be made so delicately.

"As expected of the descendant of "Book of Luban", I think you should have chosen to open a furniture store when you started your business."

Fang Zhe hung up the curtains he cut out for the small bed, and said, "I also worked in a furniture store, the kind with custom-made ones. But what I know are the old-fashioned ones taught in books. They come to make-to-order beds. Either you want the simplest modern style, or you ask me to design it, and you are always dissatisfied. If you always ask me to change it, I will collapse. Moreover, my legs and feet are not good for long-term heavy work, and then I resigned."

"Designing is a waste of time." Xie Lingya nodded, and asked Shi Changxuan to put Shang Lushen on it, and he had already placed the mattress.

Shi Changxuan placed Shang Lushen on the canopy bed, and Shang Lushen burst into tears when they made the bed. Fortunately, Shang Lushen couldn't really cry or move, otherwise Shi Changxuan would be unimaginable.

"Are you still not talking?" Xie Lingya leaned on the table and asked Shang Lu with a smile.

Every time he approached Shanglushen, Shanglushen shut up, except that time when he joked about losing Shanglushen, Shanglushen sang a few lines, usually Shi Changxuan relayed them.

Shang Lushen held back for a while, then said shyly, "...Chirp."

Shi Changxuan stood aside, couldn't hear what Shang Lushen said, only saw Xie Lingya laughed after listening for a while, and then said to Shang Lushen: "What?"

Shi Changxuan: "..."

He should have guessed earlier, what else Shang Lushen could say.

Zhang Daoting came back from the outside, holding fruit and an exam admission ticket in his hand. When he saw the bed, he said "Hey", "This little guy lives much better than us."

Xie Lingya took the admission ticket from him and said thank you. He asked Zhang Daoting to help him print it at the printing shop. It will be the first postgraduate exam in December. He is taking the exam for the second time this year. Last year I missed the first test and failed the exam.

Now there are also three Taoist priests in Baoyang Temple, which can maintain the basic operation. Xie Lingya's going to class will not have a big impact. Whether it is painting amulets, picking up jobs, or looking for apprentices, he can use his spare time.And Father Xie kept calling to remind him, for fear that he would not go to the exam.

"Mr. Xie, do you know why you are so good at learning Taoism, but you didn't pass the postgraduate entrance examination last time?" Hai Guanchao asked.

Hai Guanchao had already mentioned this matter before, he always thought that Xie Lingya's alchemy was absorbed like a sponge into a spirit, so failing the postgraduate entrance examination could make him more balanced, so he brought it up again this time.

Xie Lingya snorted, "A ruler is shorter, but an inch is longer."

"No, that's your useless method." Hai Guanchao said, "You have to do something for yourself before taking the exam, and you will pass the exam sooner. Don't say you can't, no, you can't take 10 minutes Do you want to learn it?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya murmured: "Is this considered cheating? Forget it, I have offered incense to Emperor Wenchang, and a divination would be fine."

Although he hasn't calculated it yet, he can do it himself or ask others to do it.

Shi Changxuan said at this time: "Shang Lushen predicted it, there is no danger."

"Is there any danger? It seems to be crossing the line at a low altitude." Xie Lingya touched Shang Lushen, "It's really great if this is the case, as long as you can pass."

……

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the exam, and the exam room assigned by Xie Lingya was set up in No. [-] Middle School of Fuyang City.

Father Xie called one day in advance and told Xie Lingya the precautions for the exam and asked him to go to the exam room early.Xie Lingya said helplessly, I have already taken the exam for the second time, how can I not know.

However, he followed Father Xie's instructions and went to the examination room earlier.

Xie Lingya ate breakfast near the school, then randomly found a flower bed to sit down and wait to enter.After a while, I went to the next building to find a toilet, so I could solve it before preparing for the exam.

On weekends, the school was used as an examination room, and there were basically no high school students to be seen. Xie Lingya swayed on the first floor and followed the sign to the toilet.

Because Xie Lingya came quite early and there was no one in the toilet, he went in and saw that there were some bloody words on the mirror. After careful identification, it was impressively traditional "Whoever sees die".

"??" Xie Lingya leaned over to take a closer look, it was true, it was blood, not red paint, it smelled bloody, and there was also a hint of yin.

Xie Lingya went to the bathroom first, and while washing his hands, he continued to look at the crooked word "death".

There are many mountains in Queshan Province, and many buildings in Fuyang City are built against the mountains. No. [-] Middle School in Fuyang City is also backed by mountains, which makes the school quite humid, especially places like the first floor and toilets, which are more cloudy Heavy.

At this time, there were faint footsteps and conversations outside, Xie Lingya hurriedly took a picture, and then took a rag beside him to wipe off the blood.When someone came in, he just wiped it clean, then washed his hands and went out as if nothing had happened.

This word looks like a curse, and it is particularly unreasonable-why, just because I go to the toilet early, I have to die when I see this word? !

Xie Lingya thought to himself, what Shang Lushen said about being safe and secure is not related to the score, but this is what he was referring to.

Damn, no, no one can stop me from taking the postgraduate entrance examination!

At this time, Xie Lingya saw two people with invigilator badges walking this way, everyone just passed by, Xie Lingya didn't pay much attention.

The two invigilators spoke in a low voice:

"There are really words, you go and see, there was something knocking on the door of my cubicle last night, if my wife hadn't given me a talisman, I might have explained it there. I told the director, the director didn't Let me ask for leave..."

"Uh, then just don't go to that bathroom in the future, don't think so much."

Xie Lingya called Zhang Daoting while walking out.

At this time, the two invigilators in the toilet were also wondering:

"Really, there was really a word here last night, I saw it."

"Uh, you might really be hallucinating..."

"No, no, the cleaner wiped it off!"

"The cleaners are not at work now."

"That was erased by someone else, absolutely, I really saw it."

……

Xie Lingya entered the examination room, waited for the test papers to come out and scanned the question types, he was overjoyed, and found that there were a few similar questions he had been exposed to during the review, and his confidence doubled immediately, and he wrote like a god.

After all, he has studied for two years, and Xie Lingya passed the exam with a smile on his face, feeling good about himself.

However, Xie Lingya didn't go back immediately, but picked up something from the small shop next to the school. He asked Zhang Daoting to deliver it and put it in the small shop. It contained magical artifacts.

Xie Lingya took his bag and ate near the school, and then returned to school. He was not allowed to enter and leave the examination room at will, but he could stay in other places.

Xie Lingya found a random corner to sit, played with his mobile phone for a while, and when night fell, he went to the building in the morning.

Unlike usual times when there might be people studying at night, the building was empty at this time.

Xie Lingya carried his bag into the toilet, turned on the light, but there was no one inside, so he opened a compartment and went in to use the toilet.

"Bah."

The light bulb clicked once, and then the light started to blink.

Xie Lingya sent Zhang Daoting a text message, telling him that he didn't bring the key, so don't close the door.

Snapped.

The toilet was completely plunged into darkness.

The door of the compartment seemed to be tapped by something, as if someone was knocking on the door.

However, when Xie Lingya turned on the light of his mobile phone and took a look at the gap under the compartment door, there were no feet, nothing.

Xie Lingya knew it well, lifted his trousers, and took out cinnabar from his bag.

Because of Xie Lingya's silence, the arrogance outside seemed to be even more arrogant.

The sound of knocking on the door became more and more urgent, echoing in the dark toilet, and even spreading to the long corridor outside, making people's heart beat faster and ringing in sync.

Bang, bang, bang!

In the end, even knocking on the door, the humble lock creaked.

Without raising his head, Xie Lingya quickly drew the eyes of the Lingguan, and after carrying the bag on his back, he suddenly pulled the latch to open the door.

A round, short and fat thing bumped in unexpectedly. It was only half a person tall, with red eyes, drooling from its mouth, and a rope in its hand.

Xie Lingya had quick eyes and quick hands, stepped on the back of the thing, and pressed the mahogany sword against its neck.

"..." The yin thing was caught off guard, its red eyes were wide open, and it dared not move in the face of the threat of the mahogany sword.

Xie Lingya grabbed him and threw it to the ground, it collapsed on the ground, and ran towards the corner.Xie Lingya chased after him and stepped on it a few more times, and said in surprise, "What the hell, it's so ugly."

I felt it at the first sight of him, but the conditioned reflex restrained the other party first, and then I had time to feel emotional.

The one who promised to meet will die, and the tone is so loud, why is it ugly and cowardly?

Xie Lingya thought for a long time before deciding that this might be a toilet ghost.Because the filth in the toilet is heavy, some ghosts will be born, and they will sneak around when people go to the toilet, and take the opportunity to scare people.

——How disgusting, fortunately, Xie Lingya was well prepared, ordinary people would pee all over if they were frightened when they went to the toilet!

Toilet ghosts may become proficient in harming people over time, and can strangle people's necks with their trouser belts.Moreover, toilet ghosts have different shapes and cannot be recognized quickly. The only characteristic of appearance is that they are all very ugly.

Xie Lingya stomped on this toilet ghost, and finally realized that he might not be able to escape, so he lay on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, Master, I just want to scare you, let me go!"

Xie Lingya stepped on him again, and said angrily, "Fuck you, don't you want me to die? You're still scaring me by writing on the mirror!"

The toilet ghost turned over, with his fat and short limbs facing up, and cried, "I don't, I don't!"

"I wiped it off with my own hands, that bloody letter." Xie Lingya picked it up and threw it down again, "You're done, I'm taking the postgraduate entrance examination these two days, and my dad said that I need to be calm, and you still scare me."

The toilet ghost hugged his head and cried, "No, master, I wrote it last night to scare another person! It's really not for you to read!"

It is crazy to scare this person, it is the one who is scared enough!As soon as the door was opened, there was a violent beating without saying a word!

Xie Lingya: "...?"

Xie Lingya stepped on it and stopped moving, and began to meditate. The blood in the morning seemed to have solidified a bit...

The toilet ghost slowly moved away from under his feet.

Xie Lingya stepped on it to keep it from moving, firmly refused to admit that he was being sentimental, and said coldly: "It would be even worse to harm my invigilator, what happened in the examination room turned into the scene of the crime, and how do I take the exam? I??"

Toilet Ghost: "..."
