Part-Time Taoist Priest

"Are you kidding me? Am I not confident about my face?" Xie Lingya said to the other end of the phone, "I just want to conquer everyone with my talent... So Abbot Fang, can you give me some advice?"

Xie Lingya is calling Fang Xushan. Nowadays, no matter Buddhism or Taoism, formal or private religious activities, there are many live broadcasts. It is also for the convenience of foreign believers and attracts more people from other regions.

However, most lesser-known Taoist temples will choose to set up their own websites, or cooperate with Taoist websites to broadcast live.

And the one Xie Lingya knew, who cooperated with the platform, was Jade Emperor Palace.The last time he went there with the Taoist group, he saw it on the spot, and there were tens of thousands of people online.

Fang Xushan said caringly at the other end: "I'll send you a copy of the preparation materials from our palace. It's actually not difficult. If you cooperate with a live broadcast platform, they will also remind you of the precautions."

Xie Lingya hummed a few times, and asked a few more questions. Fang Xushan answered them one by one, telling him to pay attention to talking with the platform.

After Xie Lingya agreed, he turned around and told them that he agreed.

After counting the auspicious days, a few days later, a notice was posted on Weibo: On November 23, XX, at a certain time, when the Nandou was falling, Baoyang Temple held a blessing puja. Participants who were not eligible to participate in the live broadcast can participate in the live broadcast , fill in the palindrome, pray together, and experience the Taoist ritual culture of fasting and sacrificial offerings.

Believers who participated in the puja on the spot had to write prayers, and believers who watched online could also participate by filling in an electronic reply on the live broadcast page and providing their own information.

There is also a template in the materials sent by the Jade Palace, to the effect that disciple XX would like to participate in the webcast of XX Dharma conference today, to cultivate merits and virtues together, and so on.

There are so many rituals broadcast live, but none of them caused a big splash, because most of the attention is devoted to believers, at least people who are usually more interested.A Fa conference lasts for a very long time, so how can you watch it without any interest?

But Baoyang Temple has recently gained a wave of presence, and as the staff said, we must have confidence in Xie Lingya's appearance.After announcing that he is the main master of high-level skills, judging from the feedback, many people really decided to watch the live broadcast.And these belong to a brand new audience, not those who believe in Taoism or are interested in it.

And Xie Lingya chose the day when the Nandou descended, and he was holding a prayer ceremony, not simply considering the universality, but also hoping to take this opportunity to pray for a small amount of life with the Nandou longevity lantern.

Shoulu, the Lord of the South Dou, is the house of longevity, prolonging life and eliminating disasters, resolving grievances and collecting blessings.

With the size of Baoyang Temple, it is naturally impossible to hold a large-scale puja. Considering the preferences of the audience, Xie Lingya, Shi Changxuan, and Zhang Daoting will be the main three, and the others will play music and chant sutras.

This is the first time that Xie Lingya has acted as the main dharma in the public eye. Previously, he had either assisted or organized the Death Ceremony in private.

For this live broadcast, Xie Lingya also wanted to order a costume, so he had to ask a professional for advice.However, many cassocks on the market are of mediocre quality, and they look like they are performing in an opera.Xie Lingya had seen the kind in Shi Changxuan's house, so he was a little worried.

Shi Changxuan’s cassocks are all custom-made by himself, and even the pattern is specially drawn by himself. Now it’s too late, so Shi Changxuan directly asked his family to send one, the light goose yellow one worn by Xie Lingya last time The cassock, but since it was given to him, the shoulders and sleeve length need to be changed a little to make it fit better.

On the day of the Fa conference, Xie Lingya adjusted the camera position with the staff sent by the live broadcast platform in advance.

Nowadays, the ceremony of Baoyang Temple is not the same as it was in the past, and only a few dozen people participated in the big event, not to mention the onlookers, and there are two to three hundred people who just signed up to participate in the prayer, and they had to divide into batches operate.

Seeing that the time was about to start, Xie Lingya changed into his cassock and went out from the inner courtyard. At this time, there were already many people gathered in the temple, and the entrance was still restricted—mainly because the venue was too small.However, the small building is about to be built, and there is a hall dedicated to doing ceremonies, so it will be much more relaxed by then.

Xie Lingya walked under the eaves while supporting his hat, but saw an old man head on, his face was very familiar, and he blurted out immediately: "Principal Mi?"

He was startled, isn't this the principal of their school, old man Mi?

Although Xie Lingya helped exorcise evil spirits in the professor's community, caught ghosts for the seniors, and invited the students to drink tea, he never expected to meet the principal at the ceremony.

The other party was also startled, looking carefully at Xie Lingya's face, he actually recognized it.

——When Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan met him and Mr. Gao earlier, Xie Lingya pretended to be a student from a foreign school. Principal Mi didn't remember that time, but Xie Lingya's later deeds in the postgraduate entrance examination were too famous. Principal Mi saw I have a deep memory of his photos.

Principal Mi was in charge of so many teachers and students, and couldn't remember more. Of course, he didn't know where Xie Lingya worked. He looked at Xie Lingya in a daze, and said, "Aren't you a student of Yanyi? The one who vomited blood, what are you?" ...a part-time job after school?"

I forgot the name, but I remember the logo clearly, the one who vomited blood during the exam.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya also said hesitantly: "...it counts."

Principal Mi came with others. He is not religious, but his friend has faith. This time he came to pray for blessings and called him. He was just watching the fun. After all, Baoyang Temple is quite popular.

Principal Mi's friend said in surprise, "Old Mi, do you still know Master Xie?"

The information about the main dharma of the Dharma conference has been publicized, so how could his friend not know who Xie Lingya is.

Principal Mi was even more stupefied when he heard him addressing him as a mage. Did their student do such a good part-time job?Are you still a mage?Principal Mi felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, the school didn't stipulate that students can't practice rituals. This is a formal religious place. He opened his mouth, and finally changed his words: "This is a student of the first year of our school."

"It seems that I heard that Master Xie is in school, but I didn't expect that in your school, they are all my own people!" Principal Mi's friend is quite happy, thinking about the relationship with Principal Mi, it will be more convenient to invite private rituals in the future .

"Well, Principal Mi, I have to go there, excuse me." Xie Lingya said awkwardly.

Principal Mi also subconsciously treated the students with an attitude: "Go ahead and work hard."

Xie Lingya: "...um."

Xie Lingya walked over in shame. At this time, the live broadcast had already started, and the number of people had been increasing, especially after seeing Xie Lingya and others appearing on camera.

Set up an altar to light incense and offer Shuwen.

Because the live broadcast platform sent a professional photographer, the director often zoomed in on the camera after seeing the reaction in the live broadcast room.

Before, Xie Lingya was just assisting, and he didn't take a close-up shot in the Changle Mountain news, unlike now, he could see the patterns on his clothes clearly.

Believers look at Xie Lingya's fight, while ordinary viewers look at his face, and they use barrage to discuss themselves, but they have nothing to do with each other.

Shi Changxuan's family background, Xie Lingya's extraordinary talent, and Zhang Daoting used to be in charge of many Buddhist rituals in Guannei alone. He has undergone intensive training, and his rituals are impeccable from the outside to the inside.

In the camera, there are altars and tables around the seat of the gods, displaying bright corner lamps, incense burners, fruit plates, etc., and the table surrounds are full of auspicious embroidery.The mages worshiped the gods, the heaven and the earth, and their cassocks and robes with large sleeves matched the surrounding ancient beams and pillars, which is quite ancient.

When it was time to speak, it made many audiences who didn't understand even more interested.

The scriptures are combined with singing and reciting. In the early days, most of them were reciting white, with various praises and praises, accompanied by drumming and other accompaniments.

Later, rhyme tunes were developed, which borrowed the characteristics of Gaoqiang and Kunqu operas. Therefore, if you don’t listen carefully to the content of certain passages, you may think you are reading opera words.

Of course, what is more important is that the singer is good-looking, and the voice is also good-looking, which makes it more attractive.

There is also a place where the sword is used in the middle. After Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan learned the sword, their skills became more agile.

Even when he was holding back his smile, he could still feel a bit of Shi Changxuan's aloofness. His complexion was fair, and while he raised his hands and feet, and sang and chanted, the fireworks in the censer were lingering, and the mist was dense.

Every time Xie Lingya made complicated moves, the bullet screen always increased suddenly.Even the believers at the scene watched intently.

Lifting the sword, stepping on the step, pinching the sword, writing amulets, and flying up and down the light yellow cassock, or singing aloud, it is clear and sweet.

"...It's so fascinating, it sounds like Kunqu opera!"

"I can really hear the rhyme of the play, it's pretty good-looking, and she can play swords."

"I just went to fill out the palindrome, as long as I give you some money to buy the lamp, I will give it to this throat!"

"I really like how the priests are chanting mantras, why are they so handsome QAQ"

"Gao Gong's Buxu rhyme is pretty good."

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, the hand knot is very good and standard!!"

"Master Xie's chanting is so full of charm... This southern style Susu...

"It seems that Taoist music has really borrowed the characteristics of Kunqu opera, and Jiangnan silk and bamboo. It feels that the fusion is not as delicate and slow as Kunqu opera, but it has more religious colors, and it has a special taste when it is blessed."

"Is this the Taoist Ritual of Zhaijiao? Pay attention!"

Those who understand admire the standards of scientific rituals, and those who don't understand feel pleasing to the eye and the spirit.

……

"The South Dou saves disasters and is the hub of the sky. Tranquility is used to transport and change, and goods are prosperous. Wenchang Binghuan uses government books. Turn misfortunes into blessings and be my elixir car. Refining the soul and guarding the gods, protecting the soul and protecting the body. The light of the sky is peaceful, Disasters and calamities will be swept away. Dao Qi will last forever, and the sage will live with you." Xie Lingya chanted Bai Chan, the total process took about two hours, and the whole ceremony was considered to be over.

If Xie Lingya didn't know how to use his voice, his voice would be hoarse now.

After Xie Lingya greeted the believers at the scene, he walked closer to the camera, looked at the barrage on the tablet computer, and found that the comments were not bad, and the number of people remained at 6 to [-], so he couldn't help but smile.

"Read the last sentence again?" Xie Lingya read out a barrage, and then said casually, "I would like to follow the scientific formula, build a star altar, prepare incense, lanterns and candles, and devote myself to the Nandou Tianji Ascension Prison of the Great Sage Palace I beg you to be the True Monarch of Dali."

"How did you recite it? That's how you recite it."

"It is indeed a bit like singing, because it borrows the elements of the tune. Why? Let the gods not listen to the gods too dryly, and let the audience feel too boring."

"You have a cold, can you pray for good luck? With the money to buy lamps, why don't you buy cold medicine? I'm not saying it doesn't work, but if it can be solved with medicine, why bother Nan Dou Xingjun? He only comes down a few times a year. , it’s not easy.”

Everyone interacted with Xie Lingya before leaving. As the main performer, he exhausted the most energy and was a little tired after two hours of activities. Then Zhang Daoting was forced to answer questions. It is reasonable to say that the answers were all related to Taoism. There are a lot of irrelevant questions on the screen.

But generally speaking, the live broadcast was very successful. Not only did it not lose a large number of viewers due to the lengthy ceremony, but it brought in many new viewers.

Mainly because of the recent fame of Baoyang Temple, the publicity was in place. I didn't go there at first, but later I heard that the singing scriptures are very good, and many people also went to watch.

Watching the Dharma conference in the form of live broadcast, although the sense of solemnity of the religious ceremony is not as deep as when you are present in person, it is still quite contagious, after all, the mages have worked hard.

"Xiaoliang, how do you feel?" Xie Lingya went back to the room in the backyard and asked about Xiaoliang's feelings.

A small amount scratched his head: "It seems... I don't feel anything."

Xie Lingya pondered: "I don't know if it was successful or not. It stands to reason that fighting is the most effective today. I'll ask Yinsi later."

At this time, Xie Lingya heard a commotion, and hurried out of the room to have a look, it turned out that there were too many people, someone in front was pushed and fell down.

This is what I am most afraid of in every large-scale event. I have tried everything I can to prevent it. Fortunately, only one person fell, and there was no stampede accident.Xie Lingya hurriedly went to call Hai Guanchao, and the Taoist priest at the front also helped him to the back.

Xie Lingya took a look, "Principal Mi?"

Principal Mi said with shame: "I'm getting old, if I'm not careful..."

His friend said angrily: "Someone tripped and I almost fell, I don't know how to walk, I can't even see who it is."

At this time, Hai Guanchao and Fang Zhe also came. Hai Guanchao saw that the wound was quite big, so he said to Fang Zhe, "Come here."

He wanted Fang Zhe to use the Hemostatic Curse.

Xie Lingya hurriedly said: "This is our principal, use a scientific method!"

When Hai Guanchao heard it, it's ok, then use the modern conventional method to stop bleeding.

Principal Mi was puzzled and said: "Why, is there any unscientific method?"

Xie Lingya didn't speak for a moment.

Principal Mi's friend clapped his hands: "Are you the doctor at the clinic in the back? Old Mi, I told you, I have a friend who sees a doctor at his place, and the strange disease that has been bothering him for a long time, this doctor will treat him right away." , and had someone chant a curse on him.”

Of course, Principal Mi remembered that he just smiled and said nothing at that time, but he was muttering in his heart why this Chinese medicine doctor went back more and more, making him look like a witch doctor in ancient times.

But at this time, it was discovered that they were connected with the students of the school. Principal Mi couldn't help but said: "Your mantra is learned from Taoism? This classmate, where you work part-time..."

He originally thought that it was okay for students to work in formal religious places. The scientific rituals just now can be regarded as a kind of cultural heritage, but reciting mantras to cure diseases is too unreliable.

"No, but the Taoist temple also has a hemostatic spell, do you want to try theirs?" Hai Guanchao said indifferently, "Both are quite formal, and the spell will cure the disease."

Principal Mi: "..."

The word formal is like a joke.

Xie Lingya knew that Hai Guanchao said it deliberately because Principal Mi was questioning his "part-time job", so he said speechlessly, "Principal Mi, that's... folk remedies."

Is chanting a mantra a folk remedy?Why is he so unbelievable?Principal Mi looked at Xie Lingya and thought.

Principal Mi's friend urged, "Then try it, I want to see it."

Just chanting mantras and not using any strange drugs.While Principal Mi was still thinking, Xie Lingya touched his wounded place and recited a curse, because with this thought, Principal Mi only gave up and stopped him with a "hey".

"Holding the bell-flower orchid and Pteris vulgaris in my hand, stop the blood flowing from the mouth of the river. The external blood can't flow in, and the internal blood can't flow out. I obey the law of the Supreme Lord!" What Xie Lingya recited was another hemostatic mantra, But the effect was equally good, and the wound of Headmaster Curba Mi stopped bleeding instantly, which made him and his friends amazed.

"This... this..." Principal Mi saw that the wound had stopped bleeding, and he was speechless for a while.

Although I have heard many anecdotes and strange things, but seeing is believing. When it happened to me, Principal Mi dared to believe that chanting the mantra can really stop the bleeding.

He has received so many years of scientific education, and he is also engaged in education work, so how can he look directly at this "folk remedy".

Principal Mi's friend said happily, "Master, doctor, sometimes I have tinnitus, can it be cured?"

"Tinnitus? I'll take your pulse." Hai Guanchao touched the pulse, pondered for a moment, and then said to Zhe, "Come on."

When Fang Zhe heard that he could cure this, without further ado, he covered the man's ears with his wrong hand and asked, "How?"

At the beginning, I didn't return anything, but after two or three seconds, the man suddenly said, "Go, tinnitus started..."

Are you treating a disease or making someone sick?

After thinking about it, Fang Zhe twisted his ears and said, "Chizi is in the palace, and Jiuzhen is in the room. Please obey God's order, and the warning will be unknown. Too much light will destroy all evil."

After reading it, the man felt his cheeks became hot, reaching to the base of his ears, ears and eyes, as if hot air penetrated the ear openings, the tinnitus disappeared suddenly, and he felt extremely comfortable.

"There will be no tinnitus in the future." Fang Zhe wiped his hands, his ears were a bit oily.

Principal Mi watched Hai Guanchao wrap up his wound, and suddenly woke up: "I remembered, have we met before, you gave Mr. Gao a talisman!"

Seeing that he suddenly remembered this, Xie Lingya could only admit, "Hehehe...it was me, and I hadn't been admitted to graduate school at that time."

"It turned out to be you." Principal Mi sighed, "You recited the curse just now, and I vaguely remembered that there is another mage from our school, who seemed to be with you last time."

Xie Lingya: "Yes, he is more professional, from the Department of Religion."

Principal Mi laughed, "Our school is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." He thought for a while and said to Xie Lingya, "By the way, do you read Feng Shui? The school is going to build a new dormitory building."

He adapted quickly, and when he found out that Xie Lingya and the others really knew some unscientific skills, he immediately thought of school.

"Yes, but it will take a few days to watch." Xie Lingya said hesitantly.

Because even Xiaoliang, who was the most injured, is almost healed. Xie Lingya wants to go to Youdu Mountain. Last time Shi Changxuan mentioned that maybe the creatures in Youdu Mountain can help them find Youdu where they escaped from the underworld. the son of.

"It's all right, don't be in a hurry." Principal Mi thought that he had other things to be busy with.

For the sake of the principal and his friends, Xie Lingya took two talismans and gave them some dates when he left.

The principal's friend said cautiously: "I heard that Tianshi Sa's disciples can curse jujube, and eating jujube packs can cure all diseases."

Xie Lingya: "Uh, no, just bought jujubes, sweet."

Everyone: "..."

The principal's friend smiled awkwardly but politely: "Oh, I handed it along with the talisman, and I thought it was something..."

……

After sending people away, Zhang Daoting also came back after dealing with the follow-up matters of the live broadcast, and said, "Mr. Xie, the live broadcast platform said that they want to broadcast live our large-scale Fa conference in the future."

Although the live broadcast of their ceremonies is effective, the traffic is not explosive. After all, it is only a traditional ceremonial ceremony, and Xie Lingya cannot broadcast live broadcasts to catch ghosts.But since they are above the horizontal line, even in order to enrich the types of live broadcasts, they are willing to cooperate for a long time.

Judging from the number of people who filled out the palindrome this time, it is no wonder that so many temples have started to do live broadcast rituals, such as lighting incense online and offering lotus lanterns online. This is really a great weapon to attract believers from other places.

Especially from a small temple that can attract local believers to a large temple that can attract people from other places, it is an excellent transition.

"Okay, there are materials in the Jade Emperor Palace, we will also find an artist, and then make the palindrome pages, posters and so on more beautiful." Xie Lingya is a young man after all, so he quickly considered this aspect.The previous layout was simply made on the platform side.

"Also, I'm going on a long trip again, and this time I'll take Fang Zhe away, the rest of you have to be careful. That guy Ma Xiaochuan... Forget it, he might not be in the mood to trouble us recently. " Xie Lingya pondered.

Not only was it a matter of financial luck, Ma Xiaochuan was heartbroken, but also Cheng Xin and the others had made great progress in their investigation. Ning Wanlai provided a lot of help as an impermanence, and Ma Xiaochuan would soon be devastated.

Xie Lingya has already stamped a seal for Ning Wanlai, telling him to use his seal to recruit colleagues for help if he needs anything.If not, just call him.

"Brother Fang, let's go too... okay." Zhang Daoting pulled himself together. After all, Fang Zhe had the highest combat effectiveness besides Xie Shi. Don't look at his inconvenient legs. Is the "Luban Book" heir's bragging?

At this time, Shi Changxuan, who was tidying up the altar, also came back and grabbed Xie Lingya's shoulder. Xie Lingya opened his hand and let him take off the vestment and fold it up.

Xie Lingya continued to give some instructions, and asked, "By the way, what did you say in the live broadcast room afterwards, how is the atmosphere?"

Zhang Daoting said depressedly: "It's okay, some people ask serious questions, and some keep asking Mr. Xie if you have a partner, and if the Taoist priests who offer wine can get married... I don't dare to answer these kinds of things."

"If you don't pay attention to netizens, you will only get more and more excited, tell them that I have." Xie Lingya said casually.

Zhang Daoting laughed.

Xie Lingya stared at him: "Why are you laughing, I really do."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Xie Lingya sneaked a glance at Shi Changxuan, who was packing his cassock as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was stunned, and after a long while, they said frantically, "Are you kidding me!"

"You have a partner? When did it happen?"

"Who?"

Xie Lingya hummed a song and turned away, "I won't tell you, I won't tell you..."

Everyone looked at his back, and you said what you said.

"It's pure bragging, Teacher Xie is running the train with his mouth full again."

"Don't look at Teacher Xie's glamorous appearance, but in fact, he doesn't even have a date."

"That's it."

"Right, Daoist Shi?"
