Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Tuanjieyi really didn't know how to explain this problem to his master. After feeling ashamed, he felt that it might be easier to continue drawing symbols.

Wei Chengshu had to climb the ladder to continue scrubbing the stele after being asked what was in his heart for some reason, and seeing Wei Xi's face full of "my disciples are really lazy", his face was even more gloomy than before, and Shu Wanrong also Fatigued from the state of excitement, he watched helplessly as Zhao Liang, a loyal follower of the Taicang sect, commanded the porters to place the big incense burner where Weixi wanted.

There is a stone tablet on the left side of the gate of the good courtyard, and a copper stove stands on the right side. No matter how you look at it, it’s outrageous. Shu Wanrong is crying blind. Is it possible that the family will still have incense lingering in the future!

Now that Zhao Liang has decided to donate the incense burner, he has also learned a lot about sects recently, knowing that the gods enshrined by different sects are not the same, so he casually asked Wei Xi, "Xiaoxi, what kind of gods are enshrined by your sect?" Which god is it? I have donated all the incense burners, do you want to donate a god statue to you by the way?"

Shu Wanrong almost choked when she heard it, but Wei Xi refused Zhao Liang's kindness before she hanged herself: "No need, you can't buy suitable ones outside."

This sounds a bit weird, Zhao Liangxin said, is it possible to have to order it?Shuo Zong also frowned.In fact, he felt strange as early as when Wei Xi promised Zhao Liang to donate the incense burner. The move of collecting the stele can also be explained as Wei Xi hopes that the appearance of the sect will be more beautiful, but the incense burner is used to worship gods, and Wei Xi obviously cannot believe in it. Any god, where is his incense going to burn?

After refusing, Wei Xi directly took out a piece of talisman paper full of things, chanted a igniting spell, and threw it into the empty cauldron.

Shuo Zong saw something on the talisman paper when he started the fire, and was strangely silent for a while: "Is this the birth date?"

Who's birthday horoscope?Is it Wesey's own?It stands to reason that it is not impossible to burn one's own horoscope to accept offerings without gods. After all, what you get is the belief of believers. In the past, even gods and Buddhas took advantage of it...

But after Wei Xi finished burning the paper, he clapped his hands in a good mood, raised his chin slightly, and said to Zhao Liang with an expression of not knowing who he was proud of: "Okay, this is what I sent the patriarch to get." Dao Tianzun, since you donated the incense burner, you can burn the first stick of incense."

Shuo Zong: "??"

He counted his memory over and over again, but he couldn't remember that there was a star star named De Dao Tianzun, but Zhao Liang was a half-hearted person, and he was flattered immediately when he heard this: "This is really great! "

Ordinary people buy incense burners usually go to temples and Taoist temples to buy some incense ashes that have been opened, but Zhao Liang forgot. ...Then how do I get in the incense after I light it?"

There is a saying that if the top incense is not inserted well, or if it is not burnt out, it will offend the demanding gods.

Wei Xi was very careless: "It's okay, just light it up and throw it in, he won't care about it."

Zhao Liang: "..."

Zhao Liang was a little hesitant. Is it okay to offer incense casually like this?And if the incense is thrown in like this, it will definitely not burn out, it will be extinguished.But seeing Wei Xi's determined face, he felt that he was definitely not as expert as the other party. After thinking about it, he still put his hands together and held the incense, and bowed reverently to the incense burner three times.

He was not a believer before, and he really didn't know the origin of the Dao Tianzun enshrined by Weixi Zongmen, and he didn't know what rules to follow, so he obeyed his heart and said in his heart that the gods are on the way of the believers asking for blessings. Class words.

Strange to say, the temperature in the capital city in winter was already very low, but when he finished saying these words and bowed down, he felt a gust of warm wind blowing from his forehead, making his body warm.

Zhao Liang was taken aback by the warmth, opened his eyes, but didn't see anything special.

Seeing his actions, Wei Xi was also a little strange: "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Liang had no experience in offering incense in Taoist temples, so he couldn't compare it. After thinking about it, he still shook his head: "It's nothing."

This is probably the normal feeling of burning incense, and there is no abnormal reaction in the body, and the wind still blows him quite comfortably.

Zhao Liang thought so, and after worshiping, he carefully put the three sticks of incense into the bottom of the incense burner, still a little worried in his heart, could this be done without the incense ash placed sideways?It must have burned itself out after a short while, how unlucky.

He figured that he still had to see if there were any suitable Taoist temples nearby, and went to buy some incense ash when he came back. Tuanyiyi on the other side answered a call at this moment.

Wei Xi looked at the big disciple who handed the phone to him after saying a few words, and said in a low voice, "It's Master Kuang from Liandu Temple, who said that Uncle Tan's replacement has some clues."

Oh, it's that master of dual cultivation!

Wei Xi quickly took it over, this person can't be negligent, he still wants to find out the other party's dual cultivation skills: "Fellow Daoist Kuang, are you looking for me?"

Kuang Zhiming was blushed by him before, but now he felt scared when he heard his voice. After a moment of silence, he didn't dare to exchange casual greetings. Friends of the Taoist came to Liandu to watch the substitute, and several fellow Taoists said that the mantra in the substitute seems to be relatively out of the way, not like the methods of Buddhism and Taoism, but more like the handwriting of the cultivation of life."

Wei Xi: "Senior Scholar?"

He was really not familiar with the teaching methods of other sects, so he turned his head to look at his disciple. The eldest disciple Tuanyiyi was also confused, but the second disciple obviously knew the inside story, frowning and explaining in a low voice: "It's a new sect. , mainly infiltrated in the southwest region, and the main method is to teach qigong to believers, which has not been legally recognized by the government."

"Wow." Unity Yi said, "Isn't this a cult?"

"Yes." Kuang Zhiming said, "We have notified the police station of this matter, and it is considered to be over, so I specially called you to inform you, Daoist Wei, so that you don't have to worry any more."

As he said this, it seemed that someone was calling him on the other end of the phone, and Kuang Zhiming's voice paused: "Fellow Daoist, wait a moment, there are believers coming to the door, I'll go and ask about the situation first."

He seemed to be in the Liandu temple, and there were very noisy voices coming from the other end of the phone. We could vaguely hear the movement from the believers who were burning incense in the temple. Wei Xi saw that he was empty and there was only one disciple burning incense , I am really envious to hear it.

However, it didn't take long before Kuang Zhiming, who had gone to communicate with the believers who came to the door, came back, and there was a lot of complicated content in his voice: "Fellow Daoist Wei..."

Wei Xi: "What?"

Kuang Zhiming: "This believer ran into something evil, so he came to invite someone who will do it..."

Wei Xixin asked why you told me this: "Huh?"

"...The address he mentioned..." Kuang Zhiming's voice became more and more tangled, "It's the unfinished building in Harbor City."

Wei Xi: "?"

But Tuanjieyi remembered, slapped his head and said, "Oh! Master, isn't that our staff dormitory!"

Kuang Zhiming was speechless after hearing what Tuanjieyi said. The staff dormitory...

Tuanjieyi apologized very embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it may be that they recently moved to a new house and made some noise. You also know that Beijing is so big that everyone lives far away. Some of them live in Tongzhou Yes, I really can’t finish the move in a while. I agreed to give them a week’s day shift during the internship period, and told them to move more cautiously. I didn’t burn the furniture. I didn’t expect to scare people. I’m really sorry. Ah, I must have called to seriously criticize them. Please explain to that believer.”

Kuang Zhiming said in his heart that if I explained it, people would be more afraid, right?When I heard it, I felt wrong: "Your group...that group of employees moved during the day?"

Tuanjieyi: "Ah! That's not sure, it would be immoral to scare the people who are off the night shift if you move at night."

Is it ethical for you to ask more than 200 ghosts to move to the city center?Kuang Zhi had nowhere to vomit, and his voice became weary: "...I think you should ask again. The time when this believer encountered problems was at night."

Wei Xi frowned, did the newly recruited interns understand the rules?

He immediately signaled the only believer to stay outside, and then brought his disciples into the house to call Uncle Shen. The ghost employees new to the company are currently in the internship period, and before they are assigned to work, they are all under the jurisdiction of Uncle Shen.

Uncle Shen crawled out of the phone with his long hair brushed, and immediately expressed his innocence upon hearing the matter: "Impossible! I divided them into eight project teams, and the team leader of the project team personally supervised the relocation. , the result is directly related to their quarterly performance, they are very concerned about it. And recently they moved during the day and it was just a sacrifice they received before moving, and no one has assigned a room to live in, and they are newly hired, In the evening, I held a training mobilization meeting for them, and every ghost had to sign in, and it was impossible for anyone to be absent.”

Uncle Shen climbed into the phone and went back to the office and brought back the sign-in book. Wei Xi opened it and found that it was indeed as it said.

Since no one was absent, who was it that scared the believer in Liandu Temple at night?

"No!" Wei Xi closed the sign-in book, frowned and said seriously, "It's about our company's reputation, we can't just take the blame like this."

So he dialed the phone back to Kuang Zhiming, and motioned for Uncle Shen to explain to the other party himself.

Kuang Zhiming listened to the flickering ghost voice from the receiver: "..."

According to Wei Xi, this is the manager of their personnel department... The staff composition of the Taicang Sect is really... so strange...

Uncle Shen is a veteran in the workplace, he refuses to take any responsibility, and argues against the phone: "Master Kuang, although our company has just started, the management of employees is definitely in place. Say a psychic spell, and I will crawl over to show you our sign-in book, there must be a lot of employees."

Crawl over... Kuang Zhiming silently held the phone away from his ear: "No, no need, I trust you, Daoist Wei."

"That's good, that's good." Uncle Shen laughed ghostly, "Thank you for your trust in our company. When I'm free, I'll definitely treat you to tea."

Kuang Zhiming listened to his polite words, and remained silent for a longer time this time.

Kuang Zhiming didn't doubt the meaning of his company any more, but the phone call came to him, Wei Xi still decided to take his apprentices with him to check the situation, mainly because he heard from Kuang Zhiming that the believers who came to Liandu Temple were from that building. The developer of the unfinished building can be regarded as the landlord of his own staff dormitory. He has seen in the entrepreneurial rules organized by Unity Yi that the relationship between the small start-up company and the landlord still needs to be good.

When he was going out, he bumped into Uncle Zhao who was also about to leave. When Uncle Zhao heard that he was going to do something, he didn't dare to waste his time, and walked out of the courtyard side by side with Wei Xi.

Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the censer at the gate of the courtyard, and paused.

Huh?

In the empty incense burner, the three incense sticks he had placed horizontally did not go out halfway, but all of them burned out.

Uncle Zhao was quite amazed, can it burn up even if it is placed horizontally like this?Perhaps in response to his gaze, a gust of familiar warm wind blowing a little bit of incense ash blows over his face and blows over his shoulders.

Uncle Zhao was refreshed by the blowing, and he couldn't help turning his head, watching the blown incense ash fly over him in the direction Wei Xi left.

He sniffed the faint fragrance remaining in the air and couldn't help thinking to himself, this is what it feels like to ask God to burn incense.

From this point of view, although Weixi Company enshrined this Dedao Tianzun who is not well-known, it may be really quite spiritual.
