Part-Time Taoist Priest

The obedient dragon must be able to understand some people's words to some extent, hissed the snake letter, stretched his head forward, and rubbed against Xie Lingya's knuckles again.The snake's skin was cool, Xie Lingya moved his fingers.

Shang Wu also didn't expect that Xie Lingya stopped playing with the snake after playing with it, and even said something to the snake, which made his scalp tingle, and he kept looking back, afraid that if Xie Lingya didn't catch it, the snake would die slipped down.

Xie Lingya saw Shang Wu staring here from the rearview mirror, and said, "Mr. Shang, you have to watch the road when driving."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shang Wu shyly withdrew his gaze and said honestly, "I'm just afraid that the snake will run away."

Xie Lingya doesn't want it, but he is afraid of snakes, not to mention that snakes can be so demonic.

The obedient dragon didn't look like it wanted to run, it gently swam around Xie Lingya's wrist.With the movement, the scales on the body reflected the brilliance of the car, and several changes were added, with a faint brilliance, and the slender tail hooked and hooked.If you don't look carefully, it looks like a special bracelet.

Xie Lingya stretched out the hand wrapped around Guailong towards Shi Changxuan, and tentatively pulled his hand.

The obedient dragon swam from Xie Lingya's hand to Shi Changxuan's palm, stayed crossed for a few seconds, then immediately swam back and wrapped around Xie Lingya's wrist again.

At this moment, when encountering a traffic light, Shang Wu saw that Guailong was also friendly to Shi Changxuan, and asked curiously, "Isn't it fierce?"

Xie Lingya thoughtfully said: "Do you want to touch it?"

He also wants to know, does Guailong treat every stranger like this.

Shang Wu flinched, "No more."

Shang Wu sent them to the bus station, said goodbye respectfully, and watched them leave.

When Xie Lingya's hand was put down, the sleeves drooped a little, covering the obedient dragon, making it impossible to notice its existence.

The bus drove for more than three hours and arrived at Fuyang. At this time, there was the last bus. Take the bus to the pedestrian street, and then walk a certain distance back to the Taoist temple after arriving at the station.

Xie Lingya opened the gate and saw that the lights were still on in the courtyard. Fang Zhe and others were standing in the courtyard. Others stared at Fang Zhe and saw that he was holding a box with a compass on top of the box. It seems that some modern system is installed, and it is making a "ding, ding" sound like an alarm clock.

This was originally developed by Fang Zhe and other inheritors of "Luban Jing". The goal is to detect whether there is aura of Youdu in a certain range, so as to determine the location of the son of Youdu.

It's just that it was still in the experimental period before, Xie Lingya heard this sound as soon as he opened the door, and said strangely: "Your voice is too easy to confuse, who knows if it is this or the alarm clock is ringing, by the way, how is the progress of the experiment?"

Fang Zhe raised his head in a daze, "I just wanted to tell you that it succeeded."

"What?!" Xie Lingya almost jumped up, and his next thought was: What the hell, did it ring?

My mind exploded, I didn't expect the son of Youdu to come so suddenly, Xie Lingya took out a stack of talismans from his pocket, "Don't be afraid! I'll deal with it!"

The door was not closed, and there were people who came back late by the side of the road. Xie Lingya almost fell down in fright. Seeing what he was saying to deal with him with the amulet, he took a few steps back, staggered and ran away.

Xie Lingya didn't change his momentum, he stepped on the broom on the ground, kicked it up and grabbed it, planning to use this instead of the Three Jewels Sword if it was too late.

Fang Zhe said weakly: "I haven't mentioned the sensing range yet..."

Xie Lingya also thought about it, "Then how big is your sensing range? Could it be that I overreacted, maybe I'm still far away?"

Fang Zhe nodded, "The sensing range is 950 million square kilometers."

Xie Lingya: "..."

Xie Lingya: "You know that China has a land area of ​​960 million square kilometers, right?"

Fang Zhe said honestly, "I know, it's only close to covering the whole of China."

Xie Lingya silently put away the talisman and closed the door again, so that no one passing by would think he was crazy.

Fang Zhehan said: "I just wanted to tell you that success refers to the realization of ideas. This is preliminary. Next, we plan to narrow the scope to provinces, and then to cities... more and more precise."

After Xie Lingya was overjoyed for a while, he was a little bit lost in interest, "Okay, let's work hard, and we will succeed as soon as possible."

The other onlookers also giggled, it was rare to see Mr. Xie roll over.

"Mr. Xie, you stayed here for a long time, didn't you talk about trivial matters?" Zhang Daoting asked.

"A little accident happened, we found this..." Xie Lingya raised his hand.

Zhang Daoting was originally looking at it calmly, but for a while he was still wondering what kind of decoration Xie Lingya had on his hand?But when he took a closer look, a small snake came out of his sleeve and poked his head in his direction.

"I'll go!" Zhang Daoting jumped back in fright, and fell onto the rattan chair in the courtyard, exclaiming undecided, "Snake, snake!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie went out for a trip and brought a pet with him when he came back.

Zhang Daoting is not particularly afraid of snakes, but cold-blooded animals are always scary, and he was caught off guard. He stood up on the chair and said tremblingly: "Mr. Xie, I haven't heard of snakes before, and you like snakes too."

It's okay to rub the fox, but what about the snake?

"Snakes are small dragons, flying clouds and spreading rain. I am a disciple of Chong En and Long En. I have learned thunder talismans. This snake is mine." Xie Lingya was quite proud, "And it was the patriarch who instructed me. Tell me to go to Xiaoba Village."

Zhenjun Chongen is Sazu, and Zhenjun Longen is Lingzu. Hearing the names of these two, Guailong also seemed to feel something, and he bowed and rubbed Xie Lingya.

Shi Changxuan also stretched out his hand, and patted the head of Guailong, "This snake was called Guailong in ancient times, and a master of Baoyang Temple also raised it."

The obedient dragon was touched by Shi Changxuan, and he broke free in a few seconds, but he didn't hurt anyone and was very obedient.

Hai Guanchao saw it strangely, walked over and said, "My dear dragon? Are you so docile?"

He stretched out his hand, also wanting to touch Guailong's body, but the snake raised its upper body in an instant, made a threatening sound in his direction, and its body swayed slightly, as if it was about to jump out and bite someone at any time.

Hai Guanchao was also startled, and stepped back a few steps, "I won't touch you, I won't touch you."

Xie Lingya explained again: "It's not an obedient dragon, it's an obedient dragon, and it's a perverse, erratic obedient."

Although in his hands, it seems to be obedient.

This is Xiaoliang who came up cautiously, feeling that the little snake was quite close, he stretched out his hand, and slowly approached the obedient dragon, but the obedient dragon relaxed his body, no longer looking defensive, and even curled up with his tail. Roll a small amount by hand.

In this way, Xie Lingya can see clearly what he likes.Guailong is willing to contact people who are also disciples of the Lingzu. Shi Changxuan can be counted as a disciple, but if it is someone else, such as Hai Guanchao, it will show no mercy.

……

Xie Lingya wanted to raise the obedient dragon, so he asked Fang Zhe to help him make a rough horn cup with the horns he got back according to the records in Baoyang's notes, and put his hand next to the cup. Pushing the table top, the obedient dragon slipped down and put it in the horn cup.

Xie Lingya took the lamp and put it next to the horn cup, because it is winter and the temperature is too low for snakes to bear.Thanks to the light bulb now, I read in the notes that the good dragon raised by the master would knock down the oil lamp, and when it fell down, he ran to sleep under his quilt. Once the lamp was half down, and the snake used its tail got entangled.

At the same time, Xie Lingya picked up Liu Lingtong and put it on the altar.He went to check on his own, what should be fed to Guailong.

Taoists do not need to be vegetarians except for some days or observing certain precepts, as long as they do not kill themselves.

It stands to reason that it is also a natural law for a good dragon to forage for food, but it followed the master at that time, and it was not easy to go out casually, so the master tried to find some small animals that died naturally to feed it.

It was too late tonight, so Xie Lingya just put some water aside, but a snake can last quite a long time after a meal, so it's fine.

Then there was the fresh food for Liu Lingtong, which still needed to be cleaned. Xie Lingya washed some fruits and came out, only to find that Guailong crawled out of the ox horn cup at some point, and even swam to the altar, circling around Liu Lingtong.

Xie Lingya was startled, and walked over to pick up the obedient dragon.

The obedient dragon moved swiftly, and immediately climbed onto Liu Lingtong's body, coiling its body, it looked like Liu Lingtong had added leather ornaments.

Xie Lingya grabbed the dragon's tail and picked it up, "What are you running around, I'm scaring you."

He lowered his head to listen, and sure enough, Liu Lingtong was sobbing after being teased, "Wow—worse than the Eastern Ghost King—"

Xie Lingya looked at the little snake that was only as thick as a finger, "..."

If Dongfang Ghost King knows this, he probably doesn't know whether he is happy or sad...

Xie Lingya stuffed Guailong back, gave a few warnings, and put Liu Lingtong's bed in a drawer, it would be safer to sleep here tonight, he didn't know how obedient Guailong was.

Previously, he stayed up all night to check the information, and he didn't catch up on sleep for a long time the next day. It was already early morning tonight, Xie Lingya packed up and went to bed.

The next day, Xie Lingya only felt itchy palms. When he woke up, he saw that the dragon was resting its head on its palms, spitting snake letters and touching the palms.

"When did you come here..." Xie Lingya struggled to get up, and the moment his hands left the bed, Guailong also quickly leaned forward and circled him.

Xie Lingya released Liu Lingtong, put him on the other shoulder, yawned, washed up and got up.

There is no class today, Xie Lingya also brought the ox horn cup, went to eat breakfast, and went to the Lingzu Hall.He put the little snake into the horn cup, put it on the altar, and offered incense to report the matter.

The obedient dragon did not dare to act presumptuously in the Hall of the Ancestor of the Spirit, and quietly coiled himself in the horn cup, only resting his head on the rim of the cup.

After Xie Lingya finished speaking, he took out the scriptures.

According to what the ancestors of Baoyang Temple said, Guailong belongs to the monster category, unlike Liu Lingtong and the others, he needs to open up his wisdom and instill it with Taoist scriptures to make him understand the Tao and the truth.

Xie Lingya seldom gave lectures in the temple, or basically did not. He used his limited time to study Taoism, but he also talked about some insights when he went to other Taoist temples.

It was still early in the morning, it was not a big day, and no believers came. Although Baoyang Temple was open, most of the people inside were tea drinkers who came to fetch water.Because Baoyang Temple has limited quotas for fetching water, as their fame grows, they can only come early if they want to continue visiting Baoyang Spring.

Xie Lingya said: "Since you have followed me, you have entered Baoyang Temple. Let me tell you about the Lingzu first. The Lingzu is the Taiyi Thunder God Yinghua Tianzun. He received the Dharma from Sa Shoujian Sa Zu, and he is the number one in my Taoist sect. Great Guardian..."

After playing the Lingzu, he began to say "The Supreme Old Lord Said the Heart Sutra", "The old gentleman said: I have come from immeasurable kalpas, and I have learned the Tao by observing the heart, even nothingness. What have I gained? For the sake of all living beings, I have gained the Tao. "

A good dragon can only become a good dragon if it has savvy. Knowing that this is a great benefit, it no longer hangs its head, but lifts it up, and listens attentively.

The meaning of that sentence is that Laojun has gone through countless times, and the immeasurable calamity is the time for a world to return to its original beginning. He obtained the Tao by observing the heart, but it seems that he has not obtained anything.This sutra is the basis for teaching people to cultivate the Tao. If you don't care about your heart, no matter how you cultivate, it will be in vain.

Xie Lingya said whatever he thought of, very leisurely.

But the tea drinkers in the Taoist temple discovered that Xiao Xie was giving a lecture here this morning.Those who are more familiar with them only know that Xiao Xie is Zhang Daoting's senior brother and the actual person in charge of Baoyang Temple, but Xie Lingya can only show up at the Fa conference. It is really rare to lecture. Many people think that he mostly only manages secular affairs .But later on, they also knew about the turmoil. They heard that Xiao Xie has face in the Provincial Road Association and Longhushan, maybe it's because the real person doesn't show his face!

Hearing the indistinct sound of preaching scriptures, after listening to boredness and watching it, it was Xiao Xie who was speaking, and the tea guests became curious, and other Taoist priests were fine. Want to go and have a look.

The tea guests have been coming and going to the Taoist temple for a long time, and they also know the rules, standing quietly outside the hall to watch.

Some people felt strange, saying that there was no one in front of Xie Lingya when they said it was a sutra lecture, but he did read the sutra once and then started to explain it again, who is he speaking to?

The obedient dragon remained motionless in the teacup, so after a while, only the tea drinker noticed that there was a snake in the horn cup on the table, and the snake showed its body as long as a finger, facing straight up. Xie Lingya seldom moved, it looked like he was listening to Xie Lingya's lecture!

The snake still has a place to stay, it doesn't look like it sneaked in from other places, so could it be that Xiao Xie lectured for it?

The tea drinkers were all shocked by their own thoughts, and after thinking about it, they thought it was impossible, which was too weird.

The next moment, someone suddenly sighed, and everyone looked at him, but he shook his head, "Well said, the heart is the root of the disaster, and the heart is the Taoist sect!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped into the palace door, knelt down on the kneeling stool next to Xie Lingya, and listened to the scriptures nearby.

The mouths of the people behind were about to open, and when someone wanted to call him, they closed their mouths again.

For those who don't believe in religion, it is enough to watch outside. If this person goes in to listen to the scriptures, doesn't it mean that he has some insight and wants to go to the Tao?

Their hearts were shocked: Yes, Xiao Xie almost never lectures on the scriptures. Today, he is teaching the scriptures here, not because he has nothing to do, nor is he talking about it for that little snake, but for someone who is destined to hear it!

Look, isn't this a predestined person, maybe Xiao Xie is waiting for him, this is Jiang Taigong who takes the bait when he is fishing.And from this point of view, Xiao Xie's level is indeed very high.

Everyone exchanged in low voices, all admiring their own guesses, how mysterious and artistic a thing is, this morning is really a worthwhile trip.

Everyone felt that they had witnessed a wonderful event, and decided not to leave so quickly after fetching water today, communicate with other people, spread the word, and ask the tea drinker who went in how he felt.

……

The tea drinkers felt that it was not good to discuss at the door, so they went to the front yard, and some even started a circle of friends on the spot.

Zhang Daoting listened to it for a while, and he was also in awe. He went to the Lingzu Hall to have a look. Sure enough, Teacher Xie was giving a lecture, and it was already the end.

There were still a few tea customers at the door waiting patiently for the ending. Seeing that Xie Lingya had finished speaking and got up together, the so-called predestined tea customer also got up, thanked Xie Lingya, and went out.

The tea guests surrounded the predestined person, while Zhang Daoting went in and asked Xie Lingya: "Mr. Xie, are you really...waiting for the predestined person here?"

What kind of predestined person, he has only been in the temple for a few minutes, and there is a new story that he doesn't know?

Xie Lingya said: "What is the fate?"

He is just here to give a lesson to the good dragon, to guide its nature.That tea guest is about to come in, can he still drive him out?

Zhang Daoting said weakly: "I heard people say that if you don't wait for someone with predestined relationship, you can just recite scriptures, why are you still teaching scriptures in the hall, and who are you telling them to..."

Xie Lingya smiled and said: "Is it okay for me to report my study results to Lingzu?"

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Zhang Daoting was speechless, looking at the portrait of the Lingguan and then at Xie Lingya, he suddenly felt very reasonable.

Yes, who said that it must be explained to others, maybe it is a report speech for Lingzu.

Seeing Zhang Daoting like this, Xie Lingya flicked his forehead, "Who did you get the infection from? Why are you so stupid? Of course I'm lecturing to the good dragon!"

Zhang Daoting covered his forehead: "..."

He really ignored that little guy for a while!

Turning his head to look, isn't it? The obedient dragon is still twisting in the horn cup. According to Teacher Xie's protective personality, it's strange to teach the snake he raised.He didn't expect such a simple truth, it's all because...

Zhang Daoting suddenly remembered, and said in a black line: "Because those tea guests are discussing outside, saying that Mr. Xie, you are waiting for a predestined person."

Xie Lingya stepped out of the side hall, just in time to see Shi Changxuan approaching, he groaned and said, "Where is the teacher's predestined relationship?"

Zhang Daoting: "Huh?"

Xie Lingya: "I don't know what to say."

Zhang Daoting thought gloomily, he seemed to have heard Mr. Xie say that the predestined person is Daoist Shi, but he just didn't understand what it meant, is it brotherly predestined relationship?

……

A few days later, the news that Mr. Xie from Baoyang Temple was lecturing in the Lingguan Hall early in the morning to fish for destined people spread among the believers, and there was a faint tendency to spread outward.Because the level of Yangbao concept has been recognized by professionals before, everyone has a very good acceptance of this story.

As for the little snake in the story, after turning his hands twice, he completely disappeared from a supporting role that caused misunderstandings, completely disappearing.The name of the tea guest was not publicized, and they were all replaced by a certain tea guest, and some people added some details without authorization. The tea guest seemed to be given a slap in the face in an instant, and entered a mysterious and mysterious realm, unknowingly walked into the hall... …

"What the hell, it's an allusion to Zen Buddhism." Xie Lingya saw a believer in Moments who had added his WeChat account sharing this story, and it was extremely dark, "If he didn't write about this, I would have liked him .”

Hai Guanchao almost sprayed, "Master, are you so flattering?"

"They are doing publicity for free, why should I refuse." Xie Lingya pinched the snake's tail subconsciously.

Hai Guanchao saw him treating Guailong like he was playing with a mobile phone ornament, thinking that he would be murdered without even touching him, so he shy away a little bit, "By the way, you said earlier that Guailong can buff you? How do you buff it? You haven't said it yet?"

Everyone was tired seeing them that night, and couldn't bear to disturb them too much.

Speaking of this, Xie Lingya was also a little puzzled, "I read in the notes that it only said that when our master uses the thunder method, the obedient dragon will assist, but there is no specific description. I am also wondering what kind of assist method it is, is it Xingyun? Is it raining?"

Hai Guanchao said with great interest: "So awesome? Can you try it?"

If you use the Thunder Talisman here, someone from the police station will come right away. Xie Lingya thought about pulling the dragon from his wrist and holding it in his palm, "I can't use the Thunder Talisman right now, so please show it to Master Hai. What kind of hack did our Lingzu arrange?"

Could there be any difference in what the patriarch guided?

Xiaoguai seemed to understand, and stared at his palm.

Xie Lingya pinched the middle of its body, "Come on, let it rain!"

The little boy arched his body, made a gesture of strength, and suddenly opened his mouth toward the sky——

Xie Lingya stared with bated breath, feeling excited, is this the feeling of calling the wind and calling the rain?It's cool!

After a while, the sky was as quiet as before, and Xiaoguai spit out a few drops of saliva, and one drop fell on the palm of Xie Lingya's hand.

……

Xie Lingya: "???"

What just happened?He couldn't believe it!

The little girl shook her head, as if very satisfied.

"Well," Hai Guanchao adjusted his glasses, and said in a subtle tone: "There are bacteria in the saliva of non-poisonous snakes, Mr. Xie, wash your hands before crying."
