Part-Time Taoist Priest

Fuyang City has done a good job of greening, and there are also wild peach blossoms on the mountains in the suburbs. After the whole city woke up and the news of the peach blossoms spread, people discovered that only the peach blossoms near the pedestrian street were blooming.

Not to mention the peach blossoms outside the city, even the peach blossoms two streets away next door are at most just budding.

Now, people came to visit in an endless stream, and even the city's TV station recorded a small news report about these unique early-blooming peach blossoms in the city.

It's just that the previous speculation doesn't quite fit together. Even if it's true that Peach Blossom misunderstood that the flowering period is approaching, it bloomed early, and was blown off again, why is it different between Peach Blossom and IQ?Is it easy to be fooled by the peach blossoms near Jingui Pedestrian Street?

For a while, there was everything to say, and there were many speculations.

It is said that there is a hot spring in the ground, which urges the peach blossoms to bloom-obviously, it is impossible, and there is a Baoyang Spring next to it, which is very normal, and it is a cold water spring.

It is also said that because there are hawkers selling meals here all the year round, it is smoked by fireworks from morning to night-this is also a bit weird.

The most amazing one is that a local tyrant planned to propose marriage here, so people tried to push the peach blossoms here every day in advance, and when they proposed last night, people shook the tree crazily, shaking all the petals down.One is because of the romantic atmosphere of the floating flowers at that time, and the other is to hope that only the two of them can see the flowers blooming-this is the most popular request.

……

Because Xie Lingya lived at the intersection, some classmates came to ask him if he had seen any local tyrant who was so careless.

——Perhaps because although peach blossoms ward off evil spirits, they always have a bit of charm. Most people prefer to believe that its opening is related to love.

"I don't know, I slept very deeply at night." Xie Lingya pretended not to know.

The female classmate also said enviously: "Although such flowers are very pitiful, if my boyfriend can propose to me with the winter peach blossoms that only I can see, I will definitely get married."

Xie Lingya showed a look of disapproval.

The female classmate said bitterly when she saw it: "That's why you don't have a girlfriend. Most straight men don't have romantic cells." Xie Lingya's personal problems are well-known, and no one can solve them.

Xie Lingya: "..."

Damn, his romantic cell will scare people to death.

Another classmate also said quietly: "What do you know, Xie Lingya doesn't need romantic cells, he just waits for girls to romanticize him..."

Xie Lingya wanted to come out in place, so he cupped his hands and bowed, "Please stop talking, I'll ask Professor Zhu for leave."

"Ask for leave again?" Xie Lingya's attendance rate is as famous as his troublesomeness. Every time he comes back, he makes up lessons crazily, and I heard that he is on business trips on behalf of Taoist temples to do things, and so on.

"Yes." Xie Lingya didn't say too much. This time, Tang Qi introduced him. He is not in this city, so he needs to ask for leave.

Tang Qi gave a brief introduction. Recently, he cooperated with the other party's son. He heard that his old man's stomach was swollen after returning from a trip. It was not good to see him in the hospital. Those who knew something said that his father looked like It was bewitched.

So, Tang Qi's partner changed direction. Thinking about his father's recent itinerary, he went to the place where he was traveling to find out, trying to find the person who played the Gu, but he was not familiar with the place, so he couldn't find him. Talked to the local fellow, but unfortunately the other party didn't seem to plan to show up.

He knew in his heart that something was wrong, and he didn't know how his father had offended such a tempered master, so he asked around for masters in this field when he came back, and wanted to invite him to fight.

When Tang Qi heard this, of course he immediately thought of Xie Lingya.His partner's family background is very rich, and he is willing to pay the old man. As long as he is cured well, the reward will be extremely high.

Xie Lingya was continuing to save money, so he packed up his things and asked for leave as soon as he heard it, took Xiaoliang and Guo Xing out, and left Shi Changxuan to sit in the temple. After all, there is an unidentified esoteric master secretly, and he is afraid that the other party will treat others start.

It was also the first time that Guo Xing asked for leave for such a thing. He lied to the teacher that something happened at home, and he was very excited.

Looking at him like this, Xie Lingya thinks he has the potential to do this job...

The last time Guo Xing was so disgusted that he screamed for a long time, but when he encountered this opportunity to watch, he became excited again.

If you are frightened out of courage once, and worry everywhere, no matter how talented you are, you can't do it.

……

Tang Qi's partner is Fu Zhiye, who is in Qingqiu City, not too far away, and it takes more than an hour to get there by high-speed train.

Xie Lingya gave Guo Xing instructions on what to do when he arrives at the master's house, Xiaoliang doesn't have to worry, he was educated when he was with that liar master.

Fu Zhiye's family arranged for a driver to pick them up at the high-speed rail station, but when they arrived at Fu's family, Xie Lingya, they discovered that they were not the only ones who came, there were two other groups of people, one group was a pair of middle-aged men and women, they were dry and thin, and they looked inconspicuous.

But this is not surprising, Fu Zhiye is very concerned about his father's affairs, and Tang Qi said that he has invited other people, and many friends like Tang Qi have recommended him, so it is not surprising that he bumped into a few.

Meeting colleagues at the master's house, no matter how cheerful Ren Xie Lingya was, he just nodded lightly, and no one spoke.

The other group of people was met after Fu Zhiye came out, a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair and tall head. Fu Zhiye asked him as he walked to the living room: "Master Niu, how long will it take for the results?"

The Niu master said: "After three hours, if you see that the water has not been poured out, it proves that your father is still alive."

Fu Zhiye couldn't help nodding, and seeing a few people outside, he stepped forward to say hello: "It's Teacher Xie, and Mr. and Ms. Bao, right? I've been waiting for a long time."

He also glanced at the two behind Xie Lingya, thinking that they should be Xie Lingya's assistant or apprentice.

"Mr. Fu." Xie Lingya and the couple took turns shaking hands with Fu Zhiye.

Fu Zhiye said with a little apology: "Because my father is seriously ill, he has been asking for treatment everywhere. I only hope that he will recover as soon as possible. Please forgive me...I wonder which master will go in to see it next?"

None of the people present were bothered about queuing, they all came here to make money, and their attitude was very good.

Xie Lingya spread his hands, "Both please?"

The middle-aged man and woman were both surnamed Bao, probably brothers and sisters or sisters. Unexpectedly, Xie Lingya gave way. They looked at each other and looked at Xie Lingya: "Sir, what's your name?"

Xie Lingya announced his name.

"...Teacher Xie from the Sunshine View." Unexpectedly, the two of them also knew Xie Lingya, and they showed a clear expression, as if saying that it's no wonder he has the courage to let others see first.

Xie Lingya was only slightly taken aback, and smiled at them.

Seeing that Mr. Xie was famous outside, Guo Xing felt inexplicable and proud, but remembering Xie Lingya's instructions, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Reciprocity, they also introduced themselves, the male is Bao Wenqi, the female is Bao Wenshan, they are siblings, and then they entered the room.

The former master Niu also didn't leave, and waited silently in the living room with Xie Lingya and the three of them.

After about 10 minutes, the Bao Wenshan siblings came out, but they did not finish reading, but took all the tools. It seemed that they were about to start treatment.

Seeing this, Master Niu also sat up a little nervously. After all, if Bao Wenshan and the others were cured, he and Xie Lingya would be in vain, and at most they would get some transportation expenses.

Xie Lingya didn't know what their route was, but when he saw the tools they were carrying, he whispered to Guo Xing and Xiao Liang: "Shaman."

Guo Xing and Xiaoliang opened their eyes a little bit, they only knew the shaman by name.

The so-called shaman is actually "witch". These two words are in the Tungusic language, and most of them are believed by ethnic minorities in China, but in China, shamans have rarely been seen in recent decades.

The shaman was going to dance the gods to sacrifice, and the ceremony probably couldn't be limited to one room. Since they didn't ask Master Niu and Xie Lingya to avoid it, everyone just sat in the living room and watched the shaman cast spells by the way.

Bao Wenshan held a banner made of multicolored paper in her hand, and put it outside the gate, and prepared an incense table, "Heavy tea and wine are connected to the gods, with the blue sky above, and the officials of the earth below. Running horse, Gaohuang Yuhuang, city god of this county, received home..."

This is to invite gods, their gods are very mixed, not only the gods of Buddhism and Taoism, but also historical figures, and of course ancestors are indispensable.

Xie Lingya had a faint feeling, and knew that the Bao Wenshan sister and brother had some skills, the city god of this county might not be able to invite them, but they did invite the warriors from the Yin Temple.

Bao Wenshan and Bao Wenqi were sweating profusely as they chanted the incantations more and more urgently, and everyone's expressions could not help but feel a little nervous.

Finally, with a click, the incense head of the incense table snapped off, and Bao Wenshan took two steps back and sat on the ground.

Bao Wenqi frowned, changed the ceremony temporarily, arched her back like an animal, "Please come and sit in a row, and the golden flower cat god hasn't come..."

This is to invite animal gods.

Xie Lingya thought to himself, even if the warriors from the Yin Temple don't work, could the cat god be useful?

"Oh--" Father Fu yelled loudly in the room, the tone was different from ordinary people, or rather not human-like, extremely loud, and faintly like... like a rooster crowing.

Bao Wenqi's eyes lit up, and she walked into the room while jumping, followed by Fu Zhiye.

Xie Lingya couldn't help but stood up and looked into the room, but it was not easy to go in, it's not good to spy like this.

After Fu's father screamed in pain a few times, his voice suddenly disappeared.

Outside, Bao Wenshan, who was still sitting on the ground, showed a disappointed expression.

Master Niu and Xie Lingya looked at each other, it seems that they still failed.

Fu Zhiye came out a little frustrated. These days, Bao Wenshan and the others have achieved the most results. Before that, his father was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak, and he didn't respond to those spells.

Fu Zhiye made up his mind, and said to the secretary: "Tell everyone, I will add another 50 in remuneration."

Everyone present felt warm.

Xie Lingya also thought, what is the concept of 50, the money from the Shanmen Palace will come out...

Even Bao Wenshan and Bao Wenqi showed signs of wanting to try again. Bao Wenshan said, "Mr. Fu, although we failed, our uncle is a heavenly shaman. We can invite him over."

Fu Zhiye lifted his spirits, "Heaven-sent shaman?"

Bao Wenshan explained: "We were elected by the family to learn to be a shaman, but our uncle became a shaman when he was young and became ill after a serious illness. This is called a god-given shaman. He is He was caught and studied by the old shaman who became a god, and he knew everything when he woke up."

It is self-evident which one is more advanced, the one given by the gods or the one picked out by humans.

They forced out a weird cry just now, like a rooster, plus they are invited animal gods, Fu Zhiye vaguely felt that it was symptomatic, maybe their elders with deeper skills could break this Gu.

Fu Zhiye immediately said: "Okay, then please invite that old shaman to come!"

In a blink of an eye, he met Xie Lingya's eyes, a little embarrassed, but still said: "...Uh, Teacher Xie, can you take a look again?"

Xie Lingya didn't care, and led Guo Xing and Xiaoliang into the room together, but Guo Xing and the others were a little nervous. In this competitive atmosphere, even if they didn't care at first, they would inevitably become competitive. reward.

Before entering the room, Xie Lingya noticed that Master Niu's expression was also tense, and he kept looking at Bao Wenshan and the two.

……

As soon as they entered Fufu's room, everyone saw a glass of water hanging upside down in the room, with a piece of paper on the mouth of the glass.

Guo Xing couldn't hold back, and asked, "Mr. Xie, what is this?"

Although Xie Lingya didn't know which school's method it was, but after thinking about it, he understood, "I'm afraid it's a test method. If the water doesn't drip, it proves that the patient can still be saved."

Although Fu Zhiye on the side didn't speak, judging from his expression, Xie Lingya should be right.

Xie Lingya took a look at Fu's father, because there was a family photo outside, Xie Lingya knew at a glance that Fu's father had lost a lot of weight, only his belly was swollen, like a pregnant woman, holding her stomach and moaning, unable to speak.

Xie Lingya opened his clothes and took a look. Not only was his stomach swollen, but it was also faintly blue. When he touched it with his hand, it was soft but hard, like a lump of meat.

"How do you feel?" Xie Lingya asked.

Fu's father was in pain, and only Fu Zhiye answered, "It's as if a stick is stirring the internal organs. It didn't hurt so much at first, but it increased day by day."

Xie Lingya looked at it for a while, then asked, "Old Fu, did you eat chicken when you went out of town?"

Fu's father froze suddenly, looked over in horror, and squeezed out his throat: "You said... it seems that after eating... I started to feel uncomfortable. At that time, it seemed like I had a stomachache..."

After Fu's father fell ill, many people came to see it, and many people recognized that it was poisoned by Gu, but there were too many types of Gu poison, and it was the work of a master, so no one identified the specific situation.

Fu Zhiye even thought of his father's rooster-like cry before, "Mr. Xie, is it related to my father's cry before?"

"Yes, in fact, if they don't do it, your father will call it out sooner or later. It's just that this really makes me sure that your father must have been hit by the birth-selection Gu." Xie Lingya said, he had seen such an example in Baoyang's notes.

Fu Zhiye said anxiously: "What is that?"

"A person who has been hit by the picking Gu will grow out of his body with what the person who used the Gu to pick it. Your father ate chicken, and the rooster is gradually forming in his body. Once it is fully grown, your father will die. Bao." Xie Lingya said, "What's more vicious is that after a person dies, the soul will naturally be enslaved by the vomiter, so no matter how hard you look for it, that person will not come out. He doesn't want money, he just wants ghosts. These people Playing voodoo is about randomness, whoever hits it, may have no grievances with you...Of course, usually they prefer to choose strangers from other places."

Fu Zhiye's and Fu's father's expressions changed drastically. They didn't think it was a good thing that the shaman made them cry in their stomachs. This thing would be able to cry, and there was still time left for them.

Fu Zhiye said nervously: "Mr. Xie, you must save my father!"

Xie Lingya comforted: "Mr. Fu, calm down, this can still be cured, but we need to prepare some medicinal materials and wait until the fifth watch."

Seeing Xie Lingya's calm look, Fu Zhiye couldn't help feeling a little relieved, "Mr. Xie, I'll leave it to you!"

Xie Lingya nodded.

Guo Xing and Xiaoliang thought that Mr. Xie's business would be a sure thing, but after they left, the Bao family siblings and Master Niu still stayed, and Fu Zhiye also discussed therapy with them.

It seems that even though Xie Lingya has revealed the most about the origin of Gu poison so far, Fu Zhiye dare not put all his hopes on him.

……

At night, Xie Lingya slept in a room alone, and Guo Xing and Xiaoliang, the two "assistants", were arranged to sleep together.

Five watch days to cure diseases are not today's five watch days. Some medicinal materials are not ready for a while, and it may take the next day.

Guo Xing and Xiaoliang discussed quietly. The current situation looks like Teacher Xie and the Bao family siblings are in a hurry. It depends on whether Teacher Xie's medicine is prepared first, or whether the uncle of the Bao family siblings arrived here first.Because his uncle sounds like a great possibility of success.

Xie Lingya didn't think too much about it. He has been in business until now, and he can't rush everything, the more anxious he is, the more likely things will go wrong.If it was really the Bao family's uncle who cured Fu's father in the end, then it can only be said that everyone's fate is not enough.

Xie Lingya slept soundly in the guest room, but the phone woke him up in the middle of the night. He picked it up and saw that it was a small number of calls. He was very sleepy and connected: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Liang was so nervous that he lost his shape, "Teacher Xie, look quickly! Get up and watch!"

Xie Lingya woke up suddenly, "What are you looking at, what are you looking at?"

He turned over and got up, only to hear Xiaoliang say over there: "I woke up in the middle of the night and found that Guo Xing's body was cold. I was so scared that I wanted to find you. When I got up, I saw another Guo Xing outside the window!"

He was so scared that he immediately called Xie Lingya, fearing that he would miss Guo Xing when he went out.

There is another Guo Xing outside the window?I'm afraid it's Guo Xing's soul.

Xie Lingya pushed open the window and looked, sure enough, there was another Guo Xing in the yard outside, walking three feet off the ground.

Guo Xing is not a sign of premature death, so this is definitely not ecstasy, and they have seen this living soul with their naked eyes, it must be some kind of evil magic.

Xie Lingya didn't have time to think about it, he said "get out" to Xiaoliang, put the phone in his hand, and jumped out of the window.

Xiaoliang was thinking about how to get out, when he saw the window next to him, Teacher Xie jumped out, startling him, they lived on the second floor.

Xie Lingya almost sprained his ankle, he was not as good as Shi Changxuan, he staggered a few times after landing before running wildly forward.

After a small look, he quickly turned around and ran out.

Guo Xing's figure was alone in the courtyard, floating in one direction, Xie Lingya managed to catch up with him, seeing his confused expression, he turned his mind, and bound his soul with a heart seal.

Peach willows were planted in the courtyard, Xie Lingya tore off the willow branches, and made a trap to trap Guo Xing's soul. He heard something, and looked somewhere, only to see a figure flashing, and the light of a lamp. Immediately extinguished.

Xie Lingya wanted to take Guo Xing's soul back quickly, but he didn't care for a while, so he ran back.

He and Xiaoliang ran up and down the house, put the soul back into Guo Xing's body, and burned amulet water to soothe his nerves, waking up the Bao family and Master Niu.

Xie Lingya's face turned cold when he thought of the passing figure, and went out to look at them, his gaze fell on Master Niu.

Master Niu's eyes dodged a few times, and finally calmed down, facing Xie Lingya, he said, "It's the middle of the night, what's wrong?"

Xie Lingya looked at him coldly, and said, "Take life instead of death?"

The original confusion of the Bao family disappeared, and they looked at Master Niu strangely.

Master Niu's face turned blue, and he said stiffly, "Xiao Xie, what are you talking about?"

"The dirt on your trouser legs hasn't been cleaned yet." Xie Lingya pointed out with a sneer.

It is a very common evil method to seize life and substitute death. Xie Lingya once encountered casting spells on money and throwing it out, and the person who picked it up became a disaster for others.

This one is more vicious. The caster holds a lamp and calls out for the soul. In the dream, the soul leaves the body and goes forward. The mage passes the lamp to the soul. If the living soul receives the lamp, the spell will be completed. save.Because he has already prepared the method in advance, the person who receives the lamp can die for one person.Even save money.

As for who died for him, thinking about the situation at the scene, of course it was Fu's father.Both Xie Lingya and Bao's siblings raced against time to cast spells. If Master Niu wanted to get the reward, this method was straightforward and quick, but he lacked great virtue - can this still be called saving people?

These mages are determined, their souls will not be called away, and Xiaoliang has also transformed. Mr. Fu paid for them, so they cannot be called away. In the end, Guo Xing was tricked.This is also thanks to Guo Xing, if it is someone else living nearby, Xie Lingya may not be able to find it for a while, let alone rescue him in time!

Everyone is an expert, Xie Lingya and the Bao family siblings all made a rough guess, subconsciously walked a few steps away from him.

Seeing this, Xie Lingya felt a little relieved. There are not a few people in this industry who use their abilities to do nothing good, but there are always people who stick to their principles.It's just that Guo Xing is a bit miserable, and he will be unlucky when he visits.

Everyone was on guard against each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. When they were confronting each other, they suddenly felt a strong yin attack. When they looked outside, their breathing accelerated.

Among the landscape trees in the courtyard, I don't know when there are many skeletons, reflecting the pale light under the moonlight, and some of them are walking out step by step with carrion hanging on their bodies.

Xie Lingya's heart tightened even more, the location was different, but he had seen such a scene once.It was the forest of corpses summoned by the evil Buddha during the siege of Hongyang Road.

Could it be that the culprit is really the remnants of Hongyang Dao, who followed him to Qingqiu City!

"What happened?" Fu Zhiye came downstairs to the living room. He was also woken up by the movement of other people, but he was two steps behind.

However, when he went downstairs, Fu Zhiye also saw the scenery outside, uttered a dirty word, and took a few steps back.He covered his heart and said, "Is that the evil mage who cast a gu? He saw that you were about to cure my father, so he shot again? How could there be such a vicious person in the world!"

Xie Lingya said embarrassingly: "Uh, that, maybe it's not about that evil mage, it's about me..."

He was very embarrassed, and everyone present was probably affected by him.

Before the others reacted, Master Niu said with a blank face: "I heard that Xie Lingya from Fuyang is extremely cruel... I, I didn't succeed in casting spells, do you want to take revenge like this?"

Xie Lingya: "...What did you hear???"
