Part-Time Taoist Priest

The two Taoist priests carried Fang Xushan who had hurriedly changed clothes on their backs, and went downstairs with the flow of people. Because the emergency evacuation siren blared, all the hotel guests went downstairs.

It was only dusk at this time, and there were not too many residents. The thunder just now could be heard by people on several floors, but it was unreal through the wall. If it was said that something exploded, they would believe it—the kettle was not possible.

Xie Lingya was ashamed to use the kettle as a pretext, so he temporarily let go of the idea of ​​breaking the kettle to help him take the blame, and discussed with everyone that he would bite to death later and refuse to admit that it was related to him.

Anyway, there were no traces in their room at all.

The hotel officials were frightened to death. They heard the loud noise inside and feared that something would happen. They started an emergency evacuation and called the police.

When Xie Lingya walked downstairs and heard that he had called the police, he immediately felt a little guilty. Wouldn't it be a waste of time for people to go to the top to investigate, and there is nothing to be found out.

Fortunately, Fang Xushan woke up faintly at this time, and found himself still on the person's back, and asked weakly: "What's wrong with me?"

Xie Lingya recounted what had happened in a few words, and then said, "Abbot Fang, can you contact the police through a local fellow Taoist, so that this matter can be blurred?"

The hotel and the police couldn't find out, but many people heard the thunder, and the surrounding residents were discussing it, and there will be no more urban strange stories in the future.If everyone thinks it sounds like a thunderbolt, don't you think there is a monster in the hotel to escape the robbery?

Xie Lingya remembered that Abbot Fang had shown his abilities before, and the bones of the Hongyang Road stronghold were also disposed of by the police.

Fang Xushan felt a little weak after being possessed, but he still took out his phone: "Help me to a secluded place, I'll make a few calls."

At this time, someone came to ask them if they were the residents of a certain room, and said that according to their judgment, the sound seemed to be coming from their room.

Xie Lingya knew that Fang Xushan was trusting someone, and he didn't feel bad when he said that there were no other residents around. The other Taoist priests were a bit thin-skinned, and he was fine. After seeing that the waiter who asked was not around, he looked serious Said: "We are also very surprised, why there is such a big movement, we hurried downstairs, and dare not check."

In fact, the people in the hotel want to ask if this movement is related to you.Having said it so clearly, Xie Lingya still acted as if nothing had happened, so he could only ask more bluntly: "This... what were you doing in the room at that time?"

"Several Taoist priests are reading books, what else can Taoist priests do." Xie Lingya said casually, "Do you think our alchemy furnace has exploded?"

Everyone: "..."

——Not to mention, when they changed Fang Xushan's clothes, they had a little bit of cinnabar on their bodies, which was really suspicious!

The people next to him vaguely heard a few words, what room, alchemy and so on.

But at this time the police also arrived, and went upstairs to investigate, but they came down after a while, saying that nothing happened, it was a misunderstanding.

The guests returned to their rooms in twos and threes, and at this time, the monks returned to the hotel. The Buddhist temple they went to was far away in the mountains, so they missed the whole scene, and they didn't even catch up with the evacuation.

When the residents asked the reason in detail, they were a little vague. It is said that they used several speakers to play sound effects together, as a prank, and don't care about a false alarm.Who could pull such a prank in a hotel?Can't you catch it?Which room is it?

It was unclear for a while, the police were greeted, and they responded vaguely. It was not until later that Xie Lingya heard from his local colleagues that for some reason, there were rumors that the unknown loud noise was not a prank at all, but a few Taoist priests Alchemy exploded in the hotel...

Compared with pranks, this statement is actually more popular and has become an urban anecdote that everyone talks about.

Is there any other evidence to prove that the Taoist priests are indeed staying in the hotel and they are on the floor where the loud noise is made. Except for them, there are no other guests at all, either they are making alchemy or they are playing the sound.

……

Back to the present, Xie Lingya is ready to leave for Fuyang.

At this time, the Wendao Mission still had two stops, but Xie Lingya couldn't even lift his left hand, so he had to go back to Fuyang first.As for the follow-up matters of Qiwu and Tianyu, Lian Tan and Fang Xushan will naturally preside over them.

But through this time, Xie Lingya has also met some comrades, and even gained a gentleman. We have fought together, and our relationship is unusual, and we will keep in touch after we make an appointment.

It was also these comrades who helped him spread the reputation of the human-flesh talisman machine further and higher because they saw Xie Lingya draw the talisman on the spot.

After going out for more than half a month, the weather in Fuyang changed when I came back, and it entered the hot summer.

Xie Lingya had one hand limp, and Shi Changxuan didn't ask him to carry the luggage, he took care of them all the way, and carried the luggage of the two of them by himself.

After returning to Baoyang Temple, Zhang Daoting was watering the flowers, and a group of people around him took pictures of him with cameras and mobile phones. A small number of people were sitting in the sun reading a book, and other priests and volunteers knew the customers.

This familiar scene made Xie Lingya very touched, and after leaving for a while, he really wanted to see it.

Some acquaintances saw him say hello, which attracted Zhang Daoting and others to look at him, and hurried over to pick up the luggage.Especially Xie Lingya's hand was hanging down like a boneless one. They didn't dare to touch Xie Lingya, as if they were afraid of breaking it.

In the backyard, after a while Kung Fu Hai Guanchao and Fang Zhe also hurried over from the clinic, "I heard that Mr. Xie has made meritorious service outside again? How many wounds did you cause this time?"

"No," Xie Lingya said proudly, "It's just a loss of strength."

Hai Guanchao checked it, and said seriously: "Fortunately, you are left-handed. If you were right-handed, how would you write, eat, and what?"

Everyone: "..."

Xie Lingya: "...then what??"

Hai Guanchao still looked like an upright doctor: "That's what, take a bath."

All the people present were men, and it was not the first time Xie Lingya knew Hai Guanchao, so how could he be fooled by his gentle appearance, he hummed: "I can wash with one hand."

Liu Bohe jokingly said, "Then I still need Xie Xi? Daoist Shi took such good care of me."

Before Xie Lingya was injured, everyone knew that Daoist Shi took good care of him, so he made an exaggerated joke, as if saying that Shi Changxuan could help him take a bath.

Shi Changxuan was a little dull when he heard it, his mood at that time was different from now, at that time he was embarrassed to go into the bathroom, and only occasionally helped out, now he is also embarrassed, but the meaning is different again.

Xie Lingya didn't notice, he left for a while and went to watch the construction progress with one hand down.

Fang Zhe had been staring at him these days, and there was nothing wrong with him, so he felt relieved.

……

After a few days, as expected, the news came out. The government cracked down on the revived crooked folk ways, and distributed pamphlets to the villagers.

According to the results of interrogating some Hongyang Taoists, it is also known that the statues first came out of Yuanjun Temple.The abbot didn't think much about it at first, thinking that it was hidden by the predecessors. As for whether it is a statue of a god or a Buddha, it is not surprising.

In ancient times, not only one religion lived in some temples, especially during times of turmoil, a group of Taoist priests may have left, and a group of monks came, and the statues were moved to the back, and the plaques were replaced as temples. When the monks left, the Taoist priests came back and brought them back Taoist temple.

According to the records above, those scriptures and statues were hidden in the temple when a certain ancestor of Hongyang Dao was pursued by the court at that time. They were originally protected by people in the temple at that time—yes, there were such things in the early years. A Taoist who lives in Cao Ying and has a heart in Han,

This is a very common thing. With the help of such people, it is possible to keep some scriptures hidden in the temple for a hundred years, so that they will not be discovered and destroyed by the government.But these things have been passed down, and I don't know that something went wrong with that generation of Taoist priests, and they have forgotten it.

After so many years, it was only in the hands of He Miaotian that she saw the light of day again. She had just read the scriptures and hadn't researched anything. She was fascinated because she didn't lose the two statues in time.

Those two statues are not simple, they are ancient relics that have been enshrined by Hongyang Dao for three or four generations for hundreds of years, and they have some small abilities under the evil law.This time, when I returned to the human world, I attracted new believers, so I asked them to make more offerings, and I also wanted to get some human souls for myself to increase my strength.

Hunyuan ancestor and Wusheng old mother are gods fabricated by Hongyang Taoist. These two gods were created with thoughts, and they really regarded themselves as Hunyuan ancestor and Wusheng old mother. They are actually just higher-level evil gods .

There are also some other details, most of which are not much different from what Xie Lingya speculated before, such as the role of those infant spirits-now they are all organized by monks and Taoists.

A few days later, Xie Lingya went to the city hospital by himself again. His hands were not fully recovered, but it was not because he didn't trust Hai Guanchao and went to other places, but because Song Jing was pregnant in October, and the due date came. Production.

Because Baoyang Temple is also crowded now, and for the sake of convenience, Father Xie stays in bed in the hospital.

When Father Xie first arrived, Xie Lingya went over to make arrangements, and after the child was born, he went to visit again.The relationship between him and Song Jing is weak. On the contrary, it was after Song Jing became pregnant that he had more contact with each other, such as sending talismans, but they were not very close.

Song Jing gave birth to a girl. Father Xie had a daughter at this age, and he loved it very much. When Xie Lingya came to visit, the child's eyes had not yet opened, like a kitten, just full of milk.

Father Xie named his daughter Xie Lingsi, and asked Xie Lingya to give her a hug.

Xie Lingya liked his younger sister more when he saw her, but it was inconvenient for him to push her.

"There's nothing you can't hold on to, try it." Father Xie wanted to let him get closer to his sister, and taught him to hold her.

Xie Lingya hugged his younger sister with one hand, looked down at her pink mouth slightly opened, clicked a few times, her face was round and very cute.

Father Xie took a photo beside him before taking it back. After all, it was the second time to be a father. Although it was a long time, he quickly regained his feeling and was very proficient in hugging.

The beds in the city hospital were tight, and Song Jing couldn't live in a single room. There were two other women in the ward who had given birth for a few days.And the puerpera who lives next door has become acquainted these days. Some puerpera came here for a walk, and her mother-in-law also hugged the baby. We chatted together and praised the baby for being well-behaved. , It can be foreseen how to toss parents in the future.

The people in the ward here said that it was a coincidence that there were three newborns in their ward, none of whom were crying.

Father Xie had lingering fears in his heart, "Speaking of which, Xie Lingya loved to cry when he was a child, and he cried day and night, and then your uncle gave it to you... so what, that's fine."

Xie Lingya also knew that he didn't have much memory, but he had heard adults say that when a child was young, his spirit was uncovered and his spirituality was still there. Besides, Xie Lingya had a strong sense and was easily startled. It was Wang Yuji who recited spells and amulets for him.

"How's it going?" the family asked curiously.

"It's the Night Cry Talisman." Father Xie said, he didn't know if he would believe it.

But they really didn't mind, and asked Father Xie if there was any way to get it.Charms such as night crying have always been popular, and until Xie Lingya was a child, he could still see the most common way to cure children's night crying, which was to put red paper on the wall outside and write "the emperor, the emperor, my family has a Night Crying Lang. Passing gentleman read it three times and sleep until dawn."

However, this kind of practice is not very effective, it is just simple and there are many people who know it.

Father Xie took a look at Xie Lingya, he didn't know how to do it himself, Wang Yuji went, so I don't know if Xie Lingya has learned this lesson.

It's a trivial matter, so I just helped, Xie Lingya said: "Have you checked if it's pathological? A child may cry even if he's not feeling well."

There was no crying child in their ward. It was because the child was healthy, and he had given Song Jing an amulet.

"I'm not in good health. I just gave birth and lived in an incubator for two days, and even took medicine." The parent said.

"It might be that you cry because you are not feeling well. It's different from when I was a child." Xie Lingya said, seeing their embarrassing expressions, and said, "If you still like to cry when you are not sick, use this method: take white wine Melt a piece of cinnabar, then use such a large yellow paper, dip a brush in cinnabar to write Tianzi, read while writing, the child will not cry at night, Zhushu Tianzi is on the navel... After reading, stick the yellow paper on the child’s navel.”

Xie Lingya didn't know what kind of night cry talisman Wang Yuji used when he was a child, but he learned this trick from "Lei Fa", so it is especially effective for unscientific night cry.

Only then did the family rejoice, write it down carefully, and thank him.

There was no secret in the crowd, and within two days, the family didn't use this method, but it spread to other wards.A few days later, several family members of pregnant women came here to thank Xie Fu, because Xie Lingya could not be found.It is said that after using his son's method, the child's night crying for no reason improved a lot.

The mother would have to breastfeed every two or three hours, and she could not rest well at night, and it would be very torturous for the child to make a fuss.As for whether this belongs to superstition, who cares.

As for Xie Lingya, after he went back, he received a photo from Father Xie, and on a whim, he sent it to Moments.

In the photo, he has one hand hanging down, his sleeves are slightly wider, his fingers are covered, and he holds the child with one hand. Everyone couldn't help but comment in the comments: Yang Guo, what's wrong with your hand?

Someone even turned over the previous photo of Xie Lingya hugging a crane and said, "It's really Yang Guo in the present age, but your family is Brother He!"

"It makes sense, Quanzhen Sect = Yangyang Conception."

……

It's fine to talk about it in the circle of friends, and it's spread to the school.

Not long after, Xie Lingya was about to start school and officially became a first-year student of Quedong College.He didn't apply for a postgraduate dormitory, and he still lives in Baoyang Temple in the future, and sometimes he can go to school with Shi Changxuan.

Because he graduated from Quedong College as an undergraduate, and some of his classmates, seniors, and siblings are still in school, and they are legendary candidates for the postgraduate examination. Although there are many rumors in the outside world, a few teachers and students still know about it.

When I was checking in, I walked around, and some people who participated in the circle of friends laughed and continued to make fun of him, which made other people also laugh and say that it was really interesting.

The main reason is that there are very few people living in Taoist temples, and the information about Xie Lingya is vaguely matched.

"Fuck you." Xie Lingya scolded with a smile.

It was also interesting when Xie Lingya went to see his tutor. His tutor, Professor Zhu, knew that Xie Lingya was the legendary candidate who vomited blood in the examination room. After looking at the photos and looking at him, he was very recognizable. Seeing that I had a soft hand, Yang Guo didn’t expect it. Terrified, he said, "If you have a broken hand, hurry up and go to the hospital! The exam is held once a year, and it's not impossible to delay the registration, and don't force yourself to attend classes afterwards. If you should ask for leave, you should ask for leave!"

Xie Lingya was startled by his movement, and said dumbfoundingly: "Professor, my hand was injured some time ago, and I have no strength, but it is not broken, and I will recover."

"I've heard that when you went to the examination room, you also said that the injury was done bravely in the past, so it's not a problem." In Professor Zhu's heart, Xie Lingya seemed to be a student who wanted to go to school at any cost. You can do it!

Usually, he always advises students to be diligent. Seeing such overly diligent students, Professor Zhu's heart still trembles.

Xie Lingya quickly picked up his sleeve, and tried to move his left hand to show him. Only then did Professor Zhu believe that it was really all right.

However, after this incident, the relationship between teachers and students was shortened.

"I heard that you are starting your own business off-campus now?" Professor Zhu asked solemnly.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya: "No, it's not starting a business. It's my uncle's legacy... It's not an industry in the ordinary sense, it's a Taoist temple!"

"I know it's a Taoist temple, but I don't know that it was not contracted by you yourself. It seems that my information is wrong." Professor Zhu chuckled, "I don't care what you open, as long as it is not illegal, I just want to remind you to balance it in the future. Work and study, don't tire yourself too much."

Then he said several words to persuade Xie Lingya to pay attention to rest.

Xie Lingya was dizzy, what kind of scare did he make the teachers when he vomited blood, and he felt embarrassed to ask him to take a good rest several times.

But the matter here is also difficult to explain, Xie Lingya simply agreed, and asked the teacher to go to the Taoist temple for tea.

"People call me Yang Guo now!" Xie Lingya said while standing beside the bed.

Shi Changxuan was helping him get dressed together, he had trouble with one hand, so he put his hand into his sleeve, and glanced at Xie Lingya, "It's not like that."

"I don't think so either, I haven't had a girlfriend before!" Xie Lingya was quite proud, obviously someone would laugh at him for this.

Shi Changxuan didn't know what it was like to hear it.

Xie Lingya was fascinated, and said: "But you are a bit like a little dragon girl."

Shi Changxuan: "..."

After Xie Lingya finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. He didn't mean anything malicious, but it was hard to guarantee that people would feel disrespected, so he quickly added a few sentences: "It's just the temperament, there is no other meaning. Senior brother, I was wrong."

It was the first time he called Senior Brother Shi Changxuan, so he could fool around with what he said just now.Shi Changxuan is Wang Yuji's disciple, so there is no problem in calling him that.

Shi Changxuan was buttoning the buttons, when he heard the word "senior brother", Xie Lingya still had a pure face, but his heart felt hot, and he felt impulsive, and he took a step forward.

The two were already very close to each other, Shi Changxuan took a step closer, one of his feet was touching Xie Lingya's, their bodies were so close, Xie Lingya was startled.Shi Changxuan was a little taller than him, looking down slightly, his eyes were a little scary.

No, it can't be said to be terrible, Xie Lingya was just panicked by the look, but he knew that Shi Changxuan didn't mean to hurt him.He wanted to back away, but there was a bed behind him, and Shi Changxuan still grabbed his clothes with one hand.

Xie Lingya: "...it doesn't look like it at all, it doesn't look like it at all!"

But Shi Changxuan still didn't let him go, Xie Lingya thought of the strangeness of the previous two times, and something was ready to come out in his mind.

Shi Changxuan approached and put one hand on Xie Lingya's chin.

Xie Lingya was usually able to talk sweetly, but at this moment, he was a little embarrassed to be seen, and shouted again in confusion: "Senior brother..."

Shi Changxuan was weighing, if he didn't call it, it would be fine, or there is room for leeway in calling other names, but these two words seemed to fall on Shi Changxuan's mind.

Shi Changxuan couldn't bear it any longer, and couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed him on the lips.

Xie Lingya watched Shi Changxuan's movements helplessly. Shi Changxuan's movements were not fast, but as a straight man of steel, he was still thinking until Shi Changxuan's lips were only one centimeter away from him. Maybe Shi Changxuan wanted to do something else.Do not hide, I am determined not to hide.

Xie Lingya's eyes turned dark when the tips of their noses rubbed against each other and the touch on their lips was clearly felt.It turned out that the two words that were ready to come out in my mind were writing: to finish.
