Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya tried his best to maintain a kind expression, broke off Xiao Wang's hand, and said, "Sir, have you not had a good rest? I paid you back the car wash fee last night. Knitting people is against the law."

Xiao Wang remembered that he was at the entrance of the Taoist temple, heaved a sigh of relief, supported the door and said, "You, why are you here..."

"Of course I'm here," Xie Lingya said, "I own this place."

Xiao Wang: "..."

Xiao Wang looked to the side, and asked for help from Hai Guanchao who was standing on the side. Although he didn't know Hai Guanchao, but the other party standing in the temple probably knew him better than him.

Hai Guanchao nodded slowly: "Don't you know, this is the person in charge of Baoyang Temple."

Xiao Wang was completely dizzy, "Then what were you doing last night?"

Xie Lingya finally took the opportunity to clarify, "Of course I did something! It's animal blood, I just didn't want to scare you!"

Could that moving thing be a sacrifice?Did he misread the feeling of stiffness?Xiao Wang looked at Xie Lingya in a daze, "Then... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Xie Lingya almost knew why he came to Baoyang Temple, and looked at Hai Guanchao proudly, meaning that I really didn't bully anyone casually.

Hai Guanchao was speechless, and asked him, "Are you going out again? Just now Fang Zhe said that their research has made progress."

"How much the scope has been narrowed this time, let's talk about it when I come back, I'm taking care of children." Xie Lingya told him to take the monk to buy clothes and left.

Hai Guanchao stood there thinking for a long time, thinking that this guy has a wide range of friends, teaching Taoist priests to do things, and taking monks to buy clothes.

When Xie Lingya returned to the pedestrian street, he saw several people surrounded by one place, and the passers-by looked around one after another, but they didn't dare to stop to watch.He took a closer look, and there seemed to be a bald head exposed between the shoulders of those people, who looked like Tan Qing, and walked over.

I saw Shi Changxuan was protecting the little monk, confronting those people.

"What is this for?" Xie Lingya went over and asked.

Surrounding them are young people in their 30s and [-]s, five or six of them, and their bodies are quite strong, but they are a bit sloppy, no wonder passers-by dare not look around.

Those people took a look at Xie Lingya, "What, together? Who are you, you little bald man?"

Xie Lingya heard them open and close, little bald man, and said unceremoniously: "Where did you come from?"

Shi Changxuan explained clearly to Xie Lingya in a few words, these people were riding bicycles into the pedestrian street, bumped into Tan Qing, and were about to walk away, who knew that Tan Qing was quite vigorous, grabbed his clothes and dragged them off the car , scratched the ground.They don't give up and are ready to "theory".

Xie Lingya looked at the so-called scraping, no flesh was hurt, only the pants were dirty.

Tan Qing is good at distinguishing Buddhism, but he doesn't know much about the young people's language. Tan Qing didn't understand what they were talking about just now.

Shi Changxuan is not talkative either, these people thought they had the upper hand just now.

If they had started earlier, they would probably have been knocked down by the time Xie Lingya came.

Xie Lingya said indifferently: "You bumped into someone, and you didn't apologize. He pulled you and caused you to fall. It's a tie, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Will it be the same if I fall?" the young man said, "Why, the little bald man is so strong, is he a Shaolin monk?"

His friends laughed too, as if "monk" was a particularly funny joke.

Although Xie Lingya didn't see the scene just now, he knew that Lian Tan had learned swordsmanship, and his skills were very strong when he was the sword fairy. A generation without the power to bind a chicken.

If these people think that they can take advantage of more people, they are wrong.

But Xie Lingya didn't want to fight with others unless necessary.

Seeing Xie Lingya's strange expression, the young man said, "Tell you, believe it or not, a dozen brothers came after I made a phone call?"

Xie Lingya suddenly showed a strange smile, which made the young man look a little bit.

Seeing that they were all quite young, Xie Lingya asked, "Do you think I look familiar?"

It doesn't matter if he doesn't say anything, once he did, those people looked at each other, and one of them said: "It seems to be a bit familiar..."

"Who is this? Is it a star?"

The young man said angrily: "Listen to his nonsense! I don't care if your eyes are familiar!"

Someone pulled him from behind, "No, brother, I remembered, I really saw him, online, he seems to be the person in charge of the Sun-holding Concept."

The young man said in astonishment, "You must be sick. People from the Taoist temple go shopping with monks?"

Everyone: "..."

"No, no, he seems to have cooperated with the monk..."

Xie Lingya interrupted them and asked, "Believe it or not, with a single call from me, a dozen Taoist priests came? And they are definitely faster than you."

——Baoyang Temple is just at the entrance of the pedestrian street, so you don’t need to walk for 5 minutes.

Everyone: "…………"

This sentence was so familiar, the young man's face turned green and pale for a while, "You, you..."

Xie Lingya pointed at Tan Qing and said, "One more phone call, dozens of his senior brothers also came, believe it or not?"

youth:"…………"

Calling Taoist priests and monks to fight in a group seems impossible, but the young man couldn't help shrinking his eyes when he looked at Xie Lingya.

The young man glanced at him with a cloudy expression, and then resentfully said: "Be careful next time!"

After saying that, he led the people around and left, feeling a little depressed in his heart, why didn't he hear that the monks had such a hot temper before.

Xie Lingya turned his head again, saw Shi Changxuan staring at him helplessly, and said with a smile: "I scare them."

Who are the little hooligans to frighten? Just be happy that he is now going to guarantee the image of Baoyangguan.

Shi Changxuan shook his head, not talking about him anymore.

Xie Lingya patted Tan Qing on the shoulder, "How is it? There is no problem, right? If you want to talk about it, ask them to pay for the medical expenses."

Tan Qing shook his head, "I'm fine. Mr. Xie, if they refused to give in just now, would you really call a dozen Taoist priests?"

"I used their words to hate them," Xie Lingya laughed, "Of course I... called the police."

All the policemen in this police station know him, after all, they have already won the pennant.

……

The young people who troubled Tan Qing muttered all the way out of the street, and bought a drink at a beverage store, wondering: "The more I think about it, the more I think that person is scaring us, or else, we... ...?"

"What do you want?"

"I don't know where the monk is. The Taoist temple is at the intersection. Every day, people go to fetch water. How about we get some cement and fill their wells? How about creating some calligraphy and painting on the door?"

"Uh... no, I heard that this Taoist temple is a bit evil, so it's better not to get it in the Taoist temple."

While discussing, they went out and crossed the road. There were flowers, plants and trees planted in the flower bed in the middle of the road. A few people were too lazy to turn to the zebra crossing and walked directly through the flower bed.

For some reason, the first person hooked his foot on the root of the tree, jumped forward, and planted on the soil.

The first two people stepped forward to help him up, but by some coincidence, they slipped and not only failed to help him up, but they both fell on him.The remaining two laughed loudly, but a tricycle galloped behind them, brushed them forward, and walked away.

Five people are eating mud together, you look at me and I look at you, I don't know who to blame.

Xie Lingya sent Tanqing back to the hotel, and Liecuo told him apologetically, "We have a lot of monks, and I couldn't find them for a while, sorry."

"No, no, you don't need to apologize, I'm looking for help, thank you for your willingness to help with the investigation." Xie Lingya said hastily.

Everyone had another meal together, and made an appointment to inform them when there was any news. Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan went back to Baoyang Temple, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard Fang Zhe's device beeping and alarming, "Why, how much has the area been reduced? "

"Probably one province... But now I wonder if something went wrong, because it keeps alarming." Fang Zhe hurriedly turned off the device, "Even if it's really within a province, it's not called that non-stop."

Xie Lingya stared at his device for a while, thinking that it can't be such a coincidence, the son of Youdu will be in Queshan Province?

His heart tightened inexplicably, and he thought of the inexplicable esoteric master, and wondered if there would be a connection between them, but the son of Youdu should be a Taoist system, born in Youdu Mountain entrusted to Kunlun Mountain.

This thought only flashed by, Xie Lingya simply went to burn incense to the patriarch and uncle, and copied the scriptures in the hall for a while, then he felt relieved and went back to his room to sleep.

The weather was a bit cold, Xie Lingya turned on the electric blanket to warm up his body, and curled up under the quilt to think about things.

The winter vacation will be in a few days, and the Spring Festival will come later, and the Taoist temple is busy again. Shi Changxuan's parents should also be clear about it. Maybe they will see their parents again this year...

Xie Lingya thought about it and fell asleep.

In the dream, he received a lot of homework for the winter vacation, and the Taoist temple was also very busy with sundries, and he had to meet various inspections, so he was too busy.His father was complaining about his relationship with Shi Changxuan again, so he called him home, asked his neighbor to introduce him to a girl, and tried to straighten him up.And Shi Changxuan's parents are also very dissatisfied with him, hoping that Shi Changxuan can find a female Taoist priest...

Xie Lingya woke up suddenly, the feeling of being overwhelmed seemed to still linger in his heart.

He sat up and took a few breaths, only to realize that there was a thin layer of sweat on his back.

Yes, it is really annoying to open a Taoist temple. There are so many things to deal with. Not all tourists are qualified, and not all Taoist priests are talented. I don’t know how long I will save money to expand it. It is also quite difficult to find the government to apply for cooperation. .With such a career, there are more and more lessons to be learned in life, and parents are so inconsiderate, when will they be tall?

Xie Lingya was depressed, he got up and put on cotton slippers, and his coat was unapproved, so he opened the door and went out, standing in the corridor to enjoy the air.

The night wind was so cold that Xie Lingya was a little stunned when he went out to take a look.

In the entire Baoyang Temple, except for a vegetable field in the backyard and some potted flowers and plants in the front yard, there are only bamboos planted around the wall, and there are no trees.

However, at this moment, layers of green leaves can be seen on the courtyard wall, and there are clusters of red flowers hidden in the middle, spreading out in large pieces, as if the whole Baoyang Temple is surrounded by the outside world, and no other buildings can be seen.

Those red flowers are dazzling in color and charming, and I don't know what kind they are...

Xie Lingya suddenly forgot why there are so many flowers and trees outside the wall. Although the flowers are beautiful, they are even more boring in his eyes. Thinking of all the unfavorable things in life, even the few social youths he bumped into in the pedestrian street during the day, I wondered why I didn't beat them up.

The feeling of boredom was smoldering in his heart, which made Xie Lingya feel like vomiting. He leaned on the railing and looked down. The height of these floors made him feel like jumping down.

Xie Lingya looked down in a daze, and at this moment, a cock crowed in his ear.

"Oh oh oh-"

Although separated by a long distance, it was like a thunderbolt in Xie Lingya's ears.

He woke up suddenly, and felt an unpleasant stench in his nose, which made him almost vomit, and immediately covered his mouth and nose.At the same time, Liu Lingtong's urgent call came into his mind, and that thin voice could not wake him up just now.Looking again, the obedient dragon rolled on the ground, as if it was also because of the stench.

The smell is indescribable, like garbage that has been placed for 100 years, or like a mass grave on a hot day, which arouses all kinds of troubles in people's minds.

Xie Lingya smelled it for a long time before he was sure that the smell came from those nameless flower trees outside the wall.Because the gap was too big, it was hard for him to believe that such a beautiful flower could emit such a stench.

The worries in his heart were still being aroused, Xie Lingya felt bad, and he didn't know if other people were affected. He looked up and down, but fortunately, no one fell from the bottom of the building, so he immediately went to the next door and knocked on the door , Wake up.

Shi Changxuan's face turned pale, he held the door and covered his mouth and nose - he was not confused, but just after waking up from the dream, he smelled the stench, which was unacceptable.

They tried to wake others up, but most of them seemed to be haunted by the nightmare.

Xie Lingya knew that the nightmare had been going on for a long time, and he might have the same idea of ​​jumping off the building as he did just now, but he woke up, and others might sleepwalk out.

"What the hell is this!" Xie Lingya said with an ugly face, "Is it an illusion?"

Shi Chang was hesitant to say anything, but he couldn't be sure what he wanted to say, and the two hurried downstairs.

The red flowers outside the wall rustled down, Shi Changxuan saw the petals clearly, closed his eyes and recalled for a while before saying: "Inabaluo tree, the stinking tree of troubles."

In other words, this tree is the affliction. What they see is not a tree, but an illusion of entangled afflictions.

Xie Lingya murmured: "Inabaluoshu..."

Shi Changxuan said: "This is Sanskrit, you may find it a little strange."

Inabaluo symbolizes afflictions, and the more familiar Zhantan symbolizes Bodhi.Yes, this is a Buddhist saying.

Xie Lingya understood Sanskrit as soon as he heard it, but he thought: "... Back then there were so many Hongyang Taoists, did you find out if any of them slipped through the net?"

The Inabara tree reminded him of the forest of corpses he encountered when he was investigating Hongyang Dao. They were all distorted from Buddhist teachings, and he had nothing to do with Tantric monks.

When Xie Lingya destroyed the spirit body of Hunyuan's old mother, if the remnants of Hongyang Dao wanted revenge, he was the right person to find.

Those Taoists of Hongyang have infiltrated many places, and Shi Changxuan dare not 100% deny that one or two fish slipped through the net.And from the starting point, it is indeed possible.

Xie Lingya was thinking, when he suddenly heard a few screams and vomiting, but not from inside the Taoist temple, but from outside the Taoist temple, he frowned, someone passed by in the middle of the night, was he implicated?

His heart trembled, and the three treasured swords were drawn out, "The sun shines in crystal, the moon shines in light, sweep away evil, and destroy all evil. True officials and generals, Wei Braigang, Dharma and water spread everywhere, and all blessings will come!"

Xie Lingya picked the three precious swords a few times in the lotus water tank in the courtyard and raised the water.

The water splashed, like broken jade, and contained power, sprinkled on the flowers outside the wall, but it had no effect at all, instead it seemed to moisten them, the red flowers bloomed more vividly, and the stench became more obvious.

Xie Lingya could barely breathe in this smell, when he saw the mahogany sword in his hand, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said to Shi Changxuan: "I see, just watch."

Shi Changxuan originally covered his mouth and nose, calmed down, and looked at Xie Lingya after hearing Xie Lingya's words.

I saw Xie Lingya twisting the three precious swords into a sword flower, pointing to the east, closing his eyes and thinking: "The fire is hot and the wind is steaming, and the four scenes are enlightened. I worship the true god and serve all spirits. The nine-day imperial order will appear soon!"

With a clear drink, a gust of east wind rolled pale pink petals and floated from outside the wall, and the sweet fragrance, which was so light that it was almost imperceptible, broke through the stench of Inabaluoshu flowers.The petals were clearly soft, but they cut the Inabaluo tree into pieces like a blade.

A petal lightly fell on Xie Lingya's lips, which were also pale pink, and he opened his eyes—there were scattered petals all over his body.

Shi Changxuan was heartbroken, and stared at him intently.

Xie Lingya smiled flamboyantly, "Peach blossoms break evil."

It is also red, but Inabaluo is bloody red and emits a stench.Peach blossoms are sweet and light red, a traditional Chinese ward off evil spirits.The spellcaster is different from ordinary people, who use water to break flowers, but nourish them instead. Taoist peach blossoms break Buddhist evil trees, but it has miraculous effects.

The phantom of the Inabaluo tree has disappeared, and the peach petals have also fallen on the ground in the temple, falling everywhere.

And the peach tree on the road flower bed, which is less than 100 meters away from Baoyang Temple, was inadvertently stimulated in late winter, and inadvertently shook off a tree's essence, leaving only a lonely flower stamen.

The flowering period that disappeared in an instant, and the vitality that suddenly bloomed dispelled all evil spirits.

Shi Changxuan brushed off the peach blossoms on Xie Lingya's head, couldn't help holding his cheeks, and lowered his head.

Xie Lingya: "Brother—"

Shi Changxuan's heart was so hot that he was rarely impulsive and had no time to care about Xie Lingya's shyness, so he kissed him on the lips.

Xie Lingya's lips seemed to have the sweet smell from the peach blossom brushing off just now, Shi Changxuan held his shoulder and kissed deeply for a few seconds before pulling away and letting go.

Xie Lingya looked dull: "..."

After seeing his expression clearly, Shi Changxuan also felt something was wrong, so he turned around immediately.

From the first floor to the top floor, I don't know when all the Taoist priests and personnel were standing in the corridor, all holding on to the railings and staring blankly in this direction.

Shi Changxuan: "..."

"Fuck, I don't believe it, you guys are really not using spells to play romance?" Hai Guanchao said.

They were also annoyed by the Inaba Luo tree. They went out one by one, and were awakened by the peach blossoms. When they woke up, before they had time to ask what happened, they saw Teacher Xie and Daoist Shi kissing in the yard. Tide can't be stopped even if he wants to.

Xie Lingya lay on the table, "We're crazy, we got up in the middle of the night to sprinkle flower petals to fall in love, didn't you smell the bad smell when you woke up?"

Hai Guanchao said to himself, "I thought it was the stench of love..."

Xie Lingya: "..."

He was very depressed. He didn't intend to take care of his father's feelings, so he didn't plan to watch the whole thing come out. In the end, everyone saw it by mistake...Why do they have any negative buffs?Be seen every time!

The others were fine, and because of Xie Lingya's fierce reputation, they didn't dare to do anything.The simple Xiaoliang stayed silent for a long time after witnessing the kiss of his respected Teacher Xie Shixiong.

Fang Zhe took the initiative to undertake the task of persuasion, and went to chat with Xiaoliang.

After a while, Xiao Liang came over with red eyes and said to Xie Lingya: "Mr. Xie...you and senior brother are really having a hard time. I, I support you!"

Xie Lingya: "...Thank you?"

He whispered to Fang Zhe, "What did you tell him?"

Fang Zhe also whispered: "You sold a lot of misery for you."

Xie Lingya: "Can this be sold? My dad has a broken bone!"

Fang Zhe: "..."

Xiaoliang was so innocent, Xie Lingya raised his head and smiled at him again, seeing Xiaoliang's distressed face with dark lines.When I think about it, I feel like I have forgotten something, and I can't remember it for a while.

……

Of course, what was worse than those who were hit by Baoyang Temple were the few social youths who came to Baoyang Temple to do something last night after being bullied by Xie Lingya.

This morning, they were found passed out in a puddle of vomit, with loose belts and strangle marks on their necks. They were rescued by tea drinkers who came to fetch water early in the morning thinking they had attempted suicide.

Xie Lingya screamed when he heard someone say that someone fainted outside, and then remembered what he forgot last night, so he said that he heard the screams of passers-by last night.

Fortunately, as soon as he went out, he discovered that the so-called passers-by were a few hooligans who troubled Tan Qing in the pedestrian street yesterday.

As soon as the young people woke up, they said in horror that they saw a few trees here last night and tried to climb them and climb over the wall, but they smelled a stench, and then somehow wanted to hang themselves... I don’t remember what happened afterwards.

Xie Lingya pushed aside the crowd, and asked in his pocket, "You guys wanted to crawl in last night?"

Youths: "..."

When they saw Xie Lingya, they felt very guilty, stuttered and couldn't speak, and simply turned over and ran away with all their filth.

The rest of the people were puzzled, "Are these little hooligans talking nonsense or hallucinations? There are no trees inside or outside the walls, but the peach blossoms in the flower beds on the road seemed to be blooming last night."

That's right, the attention of the onlookers was diverted all of a sudden, and no one cared about those young people who were bluffing and flirting.

Last night, the peach blossoms around here bloomed and fell overnight. Everyone hadn't seen the peach blossoms in full bloom.Beautiful is beautiful, but it is puzzling.

People who get up early and go to work pass by here, and they can't help but take pictures, both puzzled and surprised.

"Could it be that the warm weather some time ago made the peach blossoms think that the flowering period has arrived, and they opened early, but they were knocked down by the sudden drop in temperature last night?"

Let's discuss it.

Someone looked at Xie Lingya, "Xiao Xie, do you think this is the case?"

Xie Lingya folded his arms and smiled, looking at the fallen flowers all over the ground. Although no one saw the blooming flowers on their branches, but...

He smiled softly and said, "All things have spirits, maybe they bloomed last night because they acted bravely."

Everyone laughed, "The young man's words are really interesting. What good things can Peach Blossom do, maybe he won't help people fall in love."

Xie Lingya: "...hehehe."
