Part-Time Taoist Priest

Many Taoist priests practice things, but in fact they also pay attention to etiquette before soldiers, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, driving them out if they can be driven out, and fighting if they can't be driven out, which can save a lot of energy.

Xie Lingya, on the other hand, violently crushed Qikegui, a family of seven, who died suddenly overnight, extremely vicious.

Shi Changxuan briefly explained to the master, and then silently prepared for the process of welcoming the master god in the house, but the look in Xie Lingya's eyes was a little hard to explain.

Uncle He and his wife didn't think too much about it. Teacher Xie stayed here to help.They were still happy, Daoist Shi said that the guest ghost should be expelled, and they thought about what to do if they came back in the future.As soon as he turned his head, Mr. Xie wiped out the group, which is great.

Xie Lingya was checking his sword, he thought it would be useless, so he put it away.He didn't know that he was so violent in the hearts of others, it was all because he was unprofessional, his control was not so precise, he just did it to you in a very simple and rough manner.

He Zun approached, "...Mr. Xie, didn't you say that kindness is kindness?"

When he heard it, he thought it meant that he could influence ghosts, but in the end he wiped out all seven guest ghosts!

Xie Lingya closed the wooden box, and said to He Zun in a leisurely manner: "Ci is kindness, but haven't you heard of it? Compassion makes you brave, and kindness makes you brave. Did I just love?"

He Zun: "...Ci Ci Ci."

He Zun had also learned a little bit about Taoism before, when he first heard Xie Lingya say the Three Jewels Sword, he thought it was the Three Jewels of Taoism, "Tao, Master, and Classics".

In fact, it refers to the three treasures of "compassion, frugality, and concession".In the Tao Te Ching there is: I have three treasures, keep them and keep them.The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world.

These three are the inspiration for the ancestors of Baoyang Temple to study the Three Jewels Sword, and they are also the core of the Three Jewels Sword.

But for some reason, when Xie Lingya explained it this way, He Zun still felt speechless...

……

Shi Changxuan continued with the ritual, and he still had to welcome back the main god in the house. After everything was done, it was twelve o'clock.

Because it was too late, Uncle He asked them to stay, but Shi Changxuan was unwilling.Xie Lingya thought it was good at first, but when he saw that Shi Changxuan refused, and then thought that he had to get up early every day to open the door for the people who fetched water, he also said that he should go back.

Uncle He had no choice but to say, "Then I'll drive the two of you back."

Aunt He took two thin red envelopes and gave them to Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan respectively.

He Zun was left to live, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan went out to wait for Uncle He to drive out the car.

Xie Lingya was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Shi Changxuan and leave a contact information, when Shi Changxuan suddenly said: "I saw you in Taihe."

Xie Lingya raised his head in surprise, "I went to the Rain Prayer Ceremony, but how did Daoist Shi notice me?"

Could it be that his excellence is so superficial that it cannot be concealed?

Shi Changxuan: "...you have been staring at me."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya: "No...to be reasonable, everyone in the audience will be staring at you at that time!"

Shi Changxuan fell into a bewildered silence.

Xie Lingya was baffled and a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic and said, "By the way, I actually have a question... let me say that I don't mean anything malicious, but is Guanzhu Chen okay now?"

Shi Changxuan frowned slightly and looked at him.

"Is something really wrong?" Xie Lingya was a little surprised by his reaction.

In fact, he was guessing randomly. From his uncle talking about similar things, the experience of the losers in the fight, he thought that Chen Sansheng did not appear at the rain prayer meeting, and Mr. Wang and the others said that Fang Zhenxing was picking up money with Uncle He. Hired.

Xie Lingya had a flash of inspiration, and they were connected. Could it be that Fang Zhenxing asked Chen Sansheng to undo the curse after his accident, but Chen Guanzhu accidentally got caught too.In this way, it explained why Mr. Wang was able to invite Shi Changxuan (given that he looked honored), and Shi Changxuan knew that Uncle He had made a fortune.

Shi Changxuan agreed, probably because Uncle He was related to that incident.

"Actually, I guessed it myself. I don't even know Guanzhu Chen, so don't worry." Xie Lingya said to Shi Changxuan.

Shi Changxuan stared at Xie Lingya for a few seconds, as if he was judging whether his words were true or not, and moved away slowly after a while.

Do you believe it or not?Xie Lingya was a bit at a loss, why is Shi Changxuan always like this, and he can't read minds, this person is really difficult to get along with!

After a while, Shi Changxuan handed the red envelope he received to Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Seeing him staring at him, Shi Changxuan turned his head away and said, "Then I'll give it to you."

Hey, wait, does this mean admitting and believing?Xie Lingya seemed to understand Shi Changxuan's logic inexplicably.

...He wants to take back what he just said, this person is really easy to get along with!

Xie Lingya stretched out his hand involuntarily to receive the red envelope, thinking that I was not doing it for myself, but for my ancestor.

"Thank you, then I'll be more polite." Xie Lingya opened the red envelope, and inside was the same as his bag, it was a check, the two together totaled [-].

It was agreed to pay according to the market price, but this price is actually much higher than the market price Xie Lingya inquired about, after all, they are divided between two people.Speaking of it, it may be because Shi Changxuan gave so much. Ordinary Taoist priests do town house rituals, not counting exorcising ghosts, tens of thousands are considered too much.

Xie Lingya put away the red envelope, and seeing that Shi Changxuan was more pleasing to the eye, he showed him a friendly smile, and when he smiled, the crouching silkworm became more obvious, with bright eyes, "I heard that Daoist Shi is from a family background, no wonder You are so powerful, can you exchange your contact information so that I can ask you for advice in the future?"

Shi Changxuan looked at him a few more times before slowly exchanging contact information.

……

At this time Uncle He also drove up, Xie Lingya thought that Shi Changxuan was sitting in the front, so he got into the back seat, but he also came up behind Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya took a look, Uncle He didn't seem to care, and he muttered: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Xie, I heard that it's better to hang something on the car. I didn't care about it before. Tell me, I just hang something what's good?"

Shi Changxuan didn't intend to talk, Xie Lingya chatted with him a few words, but didn't say much, he still had to concentrate on driving at night.

Xie Lingya originally wanted to inquire about Shi Changxuan's situation, but he leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes, and could only play with his phone regretfully. Fortunately, he already got the contact information.

Uncle He first sent them to the Temple of Supreme Harmony, where Shi Changxuan lived.Compared with Baoyang Temple, Taihe Temple is far away from the urban area. It happens that the road is being built recently, and there are so many potholes.

Xie Lingya was fiddling with the phone when he felt a jolt, he couldn't sit still and fell headfirst onto Shi Changxuan.

"Are you okay?" Uncle He also asked.

"It's okay. I'm sorry, Daoist Shi." Xie Lingya looked up, and Shi Changxuan still had his eyes closed.

Don't you wake up?

Xie Lingya saw that Uncle He didn't pay attention, and when he got up, he secretly touched Shi Changxuan's chest.Before, he only looked at his face, and he had to touch the bones of his body, especially his chest.

——Although the chance is very small, who knows if he will touch the star bone of the same style as him?

But apart from the muscles, it seems that there are no special bones. Huh, I didn't expect Daochang Shi to be the type who looks thin when he wears clothes and takes off his clothes.Xie Lingya thought in his heart.

Xie Lingya looked up inadvertently, and saw Shi Changxuan opened his eyes at some point and was looking at him.

Xie Lingya: "..."

look at this man!You won't wake up if you hit it, but you will wake up if you touch it!

Fortunately, Xie Lingya has always been thick-skinned, so he stopped his hands as if nothing had happened, and looked back at Shi Changxuan, "I'm sorry I didn't sit still, haha, it seems that the Temple of Supreme Harmony is coming soon."

"..." Shi Changxuan, under Xie Lingya's gaze of course, for a long while, unexpectedly turned his gaze away, and a trace of self-doubt appeared in his cold eyes.

When the car arrived at the gate of Taihe Temple, Xie Lingya waved goodbye without guilt: "Contact me again! ヾ(￣▽￣)"

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Seeing Shi Changxuan's slender back disappear into the night, Uncle He said with emotion: "Mr. Xie and Daoist Shi really hit it off!"

……

……

The statue of Wang Lingguan in Baoyang Temple is [-] meters. Xie Lingya went to inquire about it. The cost of remodeling does not reduce the cost of materials and is not deliberately high. It will cost about [-].

Thanks to the relatively simple statue of Wang Lingguan, the main statue of many temples is either gold or copper.

Fortunately, Shi Changxuan also gave Xie Lingya his share of the money. In addition to repairing the golden body of Wang Lingguan's statue, Xie Lingya had a little money left over after the calculation. He wanted to make up for the tiles.

In fact, there are many places in Baoyang Temple that need to be repaired, and there is not enough money for it at the moment, so Xie Lingya considered the price and the urgent need.

However, on the night when he consulted the craftsman, he dreamed of Wang Lingguan again.

Wang Lingguan pointed forward with his middle finger, still looking majestic and angry.

At first Xie Lingya thought that Wang Lingguan was here to praise him and was very happy, but the next night he still dreamed of Wang Lingguan.He was extremely depressed, so what happened?

Xie Lingya sat and pondered for a long time, then flipped through his notes, and finally found two rice cups.At this time, there are two pieces of occupancy tools used for divination. Throwing them for divination can tell good or bad luck and communicate with gods.

The bamboo cup in Baoyang Temple is made of copper, half-moon shaped, with one side protruding and the other flat.

When divination, look at the front and back to determine the result. The two fronts are laughing cups, which means that the situation is unclear. Upward is the fierce shield hexagram.

Xie Lingya asked silently in front of the statue: Are you telling me not to look for that craftsman?He is unreliable?

I can't help but laugh, I guess I guessed wrong.

Xie Lingya made several hexagrams before he realized that the patriarch felt that he had been poor for a long time and hoped to be promoted to a higher level, such as a pure gold body or something.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Unexpectedly, ah, I did not expect that the Patriarch also knew how to raise prices by sitting on the ground.

Xie Lingya shook his head and said, pure gold, that is definitely impossible, you can't afford to sell me, gold plating, there is no hope, but you can get a brass.

Xie Lingya tossed the rice cup, and saw the sharp corners of the two rice cups standing up, he held his breath, it couldn't be the Dun hexagram, could it?Patriarch is so fierce?

At this time, the two water cups were crumbling in two directions, and finally fell down unwillingly, becoming the holy grail.

Only then did Xie Lingya heave a sigh of relief, wipe off his sweat, with such vigor... as if he could imagine the patriarch, under Xie Lingya's fierce bargaining, thought twice, and agreed aggrievedly.

In fact, Xie Lingya has worked very hard. He originally wanted to give you a layer of golden paint, but considering that it is really not easy for the Lingguan master to be here, if it is too shabby, he might lose his temper and not show it in the future!

If he wanted to cast a bronze statue of Wang Lingguan, then at least the statue of Sanqing and the Jade Emperor would have to follow suit.A bronze statue of more than two meters will cost at least twenty-eight thousand.

In this way, the money Xie Lingya just earned is far from enough, and he has to continue to work hard.

However, he can get rid of the peeled spirit official statue first, this is more urgent after all, presumably the gods will not pick this reason.And the roof must also be repaired, otherwise what if the other gods are damaged by the wind and the sun.

……

After the decision was made, it was time to discuss with the craftsman to change the material. On the other hand, Xie Lingya searched for a long time in his uncle's belongings, but he couldn't find the contact information of the tile maker.

There are basically no tile-roofed houses in modern times, especially in cities.In the past, there was a special profession called "picking tiles". Craftsmen climbed to the roof to replace the old broken tiles.

Moreover, the main hall of Baoyang Temple is very old, and no one burns the old-fashioned tiles on it now, unlike Taihe Temple, where the tiles are new after being rebuilt.In this way, it is not easy to find a worker to match.

Xie Lingya still asked his father to look for it in the old village in the town below Fuyang City, and finally found a tile picker, please come to the city.

Based on the size and damage of the roof of the Baoyang Temple, it would cost at least 9000-[-] yuan to pick up the tiles, and the tile picker still has old tiles worthy of it.

An old craftsman like this is much more particular than Xie Lingya. He deliberately read the almanac and chose a suitable and sunny day before going to the house to pick up tiles.

When Xie Lingya was reading a book while boiling water in the front yard, He Zun brought some of his roommates to burn incense.He Zun's roommates ran into evil with him on the nearby street last time. Fortunately, He Zun brought the talisman Xie Lingya gave him.

Because of that experience, when they saw Xie Lingya, although they looked curious, they were all respectful.And they didn't hear He Zun say that Xie Lingya is really good-looking, even as the same sex, they would secretly appreciate it in their hearts.I don't know if it's preconceived. Looking at his cold and pale skin, I feel very mysterious!

"Burning incense? Let's go." Xie Lingya let go of the book in his hand and led them to the back.

When He Zun saw the book Xie Lingya had put down, he made a big fuss and said, "I'll go, Mr. Xie, are you really taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Xie Lingya was reading reference books for postgraduate entrance examinations, and he said inexplicably, "Didn't I tell you what you called?"

He Zun: "...I thought you lied to me to be happy."

Xie Lingya: "..."

He Zun's roommate also couldn't help but be confused: "I only know that there is a Taoist college, but you also have a postgraduate program? How many years?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

"I'm not a Taoist priest." Xie Lingya explained helplessly, "To paraphrase He Zun's words, just treat me as the floor-sweeping monk here."

roommate:"???"

He Zun: "..."

The statue of the Lingguan is still being remodeled, Xie Lingya asked them to go to Sanqing Hall to offer incense, and when offering incense next to them, they should pay attention to the incense not exceeding an inch, that is, the distance between the three incense sticks should not exceed one inch.

He Zun's roommates also donated some pocket money, they are all students, the amount is not large, and they expressed their heart.

"Mr. Xie," He Zun's roommate imitated his name, and said to Xie Lingya, "He Zun gave me a talisman last time. I want to ask if you still have it here? Or some kind of talisman?" Instruments and the like, I would like to please go back and put them at home."

Xie Lingya sweated, it's not that he didn't draw talismans these days, but out of practical considerations, after all, many of the people who come to their Taoist temple are uncles, aunts, and aunts. Kind of spell.

Turning his thoughts back, looking around, Xie Lingya had an idea, went outside the hall and raised his voice to the tile picker above: "Uncle Liu, are there many tiles?"

The tile picker lowered his head and said, "Yes, what are you doing?"

"I'll take some as gifts." Xie Lingya said.

The tile picker didn't ask why, but made a gesture of agreement.

Under the astonished eyes of several students, Xie Lingya took a few tiles, swept away the dust, and said, "Put this in a dry and clean place."

He Zun's roommate hesitated, "What's the use of this...?"

They just watched Xie Lingya take it out from the pile of rubble, so they blew the dirt, what's the use of that.

"These are all harvested old tiles, and the tiles were invented by Shennong. They are in harmony with the five elements. The earth is made of gold, water and mud, fired with fire, and then placed on wood. The front is yang, the back is yin, and yin and yang Xiangji. If you put it at home, you can also town house." Xie Lingya explained.

Many people know that carpenter's tools, such as Luban ruler and ink fountain, can protect houses and ward off evil spirits. In fact, the tools of butchers and bricklayers are the same.This is especially true for this kind of old tile fired by the old method.

After several people heard this, they thanked him and accepted it with peace of mind.Like this, just give a cost price.

He Zun and Xie Lingya complained aggrievedly: "We originally wanted to call other students to come with us, but they didn't come because we were superstitious."

He Zun is basically the number one believer of Baoyang Temple now, and he is working very hard to promote Xie Lingya, but the effect seems to be limited.

Xie Lingya himself knew how difficult it was. He comforted him: "Everyone has his own beliefs. If they don't believe in it, it's too much of a force for you to invite them to offer incense. It's unnecessary."

This is the demeanor of a superior man.He Zun's roommates felt in their hearts that they deserved to be a cold Taoist.

Xie Lingya continued: "Next time you ask them to come here for tea and melon seeds..."

Everyone: "..."

The author has something to say:

Daochang Shi: Why did he touch me?

Xie Lingya: Don't worry, I will touch more people

Daoist Shi:? ? ?
