Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

When Mrs. Wang heard that her beriberi and her friend's constipation might be cured, she was very happy, and immediately made two small portraits with Wei Xi, and decided that her family would worship this heavenly deity for a long time from now on.

She also enthusiastically unpacked two more packs of incense, lit them up and worshiped devoutly, but she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that today's incense was burning very weakly, and in the flickering of the fire, there was an inexplicable sense of dying. help.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, but didn't think about it, probably because the weather has been too cold recently.

Wei Xi was so hot that he was dying of heat. The temperature emitted by the jade pendant almost scalded him. He was always not afraid of pain, and he couldn't stand the scorching through his clothes. The moment he promised Mrs. Wang, the jade pendant Even more powerful, his fingertips were so hot that he couldn't help hissing slightly.

The strange thing is that as soon as he made a sound, the temperature of the jade pendant suddenly dropped.

The second apprentice at the side turned his head quickly when he heard the voice: "What's wrong?"

Wei Xi let go of the jade pendant, and the heat on his chest quickly became acceptable. He rubbed his fingers in doubt: "It's nothing, I got burned."

The hand was immediately grabbed by the second apprentice and spread out for inspection, and the reddish fingertips were touched lightly. The second apprentice frowned, realized something, and looked at his chest: "Is it that jade pendant?"

Weissy nodded.

Shuo Zong frowned even deeper. He had been scalded by this jade pendant once when he was in the mountains, and felt that something was wrong: "The origin of this jade pendant is unknown, take it off and don't wear it again."

Wei Xi shook his head and said, "This is the master's order passed down to me by your master, and it will not harm me."

Although the tone was flat, the trust in Wei Dedao could be clearly seen in the words, so strong that Shuo Zong couldn't help but wonder.

How did Wei Xi develop his current character?What kind of person was his dead master to make him change to what he is today.

After rejecting his apprentice's offer, Wei Xi immediately felt that the temperature of the jade pendant became more comfortable, and said firmly, "Look, it's ready."

Shuo Zong was silent for a while, touched his fingertips, but didn't say anything.

****

Many familiar Taoist priests had already gathered in the Liandu temple. Wei Xi and his apprentices arrived at the scene and found that Tan Fu was there. There was a familiar amulet on the table in front of them.

Wei Xi glanced at the amulet: "Please replace?"

"Xiaoxi!" Tan Fu hurriedly called him, "Come and watch the news! The person who handed over the request to me is dead!"

He is Wei Tianyi's friend, and his name is more intimate, Wei Xi didn't care, and went up to see that the tablet in Tan Fu's hand was playing a news item.The content is about a traffic accident on the Xinnan Expressway. A speeding sports car deviated for unknown reasons and crashed into the entrance of a high-speed tunnel. The owner of the car died on the spot. , is the daughter of a well-known wealthy businessman in Xinnan.

Tan Fu pointed at the photo firmly: "It's her, I absolutely can't admit my mistake, I came to see you as soon as I saw the news."

Wei Xi looked at the second apprentice who was approaching, and the second apprentice said in a deep voice: "The invitation sent out is broken, and her doom will be returned. It seems that what she invited was indeed a murderous disaster."

Tan Fu looked at the scene of the tragic car accident on the news, and when he thought that he almost replaced the other party as the protagonist in the accident, the hairs all over his body stood on end: "This is too horrible, thanks to Xiaoxi, you helped me, otherwise I This old fate must have been explained long ago."

After thanking him, he thought of Kuang Zhiming and his wife who were doing it together at that time, and quickly added: "Of course, Taoist Kuang and Taoist Xu have worked hard too."

Thinking of the situation at that time, Kuang Zhiming couldn't help but say in shame: "It's all Daoist Wei who contributed, and we didn't help much."

After being ashamed, his expression became serious again, and he said to Wei Xi: "Although the trouble of Mr. Tan's replacement has come to an end, Fellow Daoist Wei also remember to be careful. I and several other fellow Taoists all deduced that this request is from a cultivator. Please be broken, the person who makes the move will definitely be backlashed, and the feud between the two sides is officially settled. Their methods are very bizarre. In addition to using qigong to develop believers, they can also drive away ghosts. The difference has something to do with it.”

Wei Xi: "Underworld ghost?"

After he went down the mountain, he saw a lot of ghosts, but never met Mingchai.

"I heard that they once asked Mingcha to walk over the soul of a policeman who was investigating them." After Kuang Zhiming explained, he also guessed that he had never encountered it before, and added with a smile: "However, each sect is different, and Mingcha is also rare. When dealing with us, the two worlds of Yin and Yang have never been closely connected, and the Liandu Temple is too small. Those who can communicate with the underworld are generally Daoist Temples, which have their own special methods, such as the local Town God’s Temple and the Immortal Palace. The Town God’s Temple is Needless to say, Immortal Palace, I heard that they have maintained a good relationship with ghosts for generations."

When he said this, he looked at a Taoist priest among the people around him, and introduced: "It just so happens that Taoist Priest Yu of the Immortal Palace is preparing to invite ghost messengers to revive his soul today."

****

Daoist Yu invited them to the hospital together, and he asked the ghost messenger to help a little girl who was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed.

"This believer was in a car accident before. She was fine, but her soul was so scared that she ran away." Daoist Yu explained, "She is young and weak in anger. I have tried many methods but cannot correctly determine where she went. I guessed that it might have been taken away by mistake with other living souls at the scene of the car accident, so I could only try to ask the ghost messenger to ask."

"Can this be wrong?" Tuanjieyi couldn't help complaining to his master, "The ghost messenger is too sloppy."

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess." Daoist Yu was very cautious about the ghost messenger, and he didn't follow suit, but just smiled, "And there are too many people who need to seduce the soul at the scene of a large-scale accident. She ran out by accident at that time." If it is wrong, it may not be discovered for a while."

After he said this, he set aside the paper money offerings for ghost messengers and began to chant mantras. Wei Xi stared at his movements, and then he heard Kuang Zhiming ask himself in a low voice: "Master Wei, I discussed it with Fellow Daoist Feng. , and plan to recommend your Taicang Sect to the local Taoist Association as soon as possible, but now the Religious Affairs Bureau is very strict in reviewing the situation, and we don’t dare to guarantee whether the recommendation will pass smoothly. So I have to tell you in advance.”

It is about whether his sect can be recognized in the industry, Wei Xi became nervous when he heard it: "How do you say that?"

"The main reason is that there is only...the company's business license in your temple." Kuang Zhiming is the first time he has encountered a Taoist temple that doesn't even have a Taoist certificate in the whole temple. When it comes to the business license, he is still speechless, "Association I don’t necessarily recognize this, it would be great if you have other documents.”

Wei Xi couldn't help frowning: "Isn't it okay to add the tax payment certificate?"

Kuang Zhiming: "...I think it should be impossible."

Wei Xi immediately became worried. He couldn't figure out why there were so many rules outside the mountain, and he set up a sect to return this certificate and that certificate.

During the conversation, Daoist Yu at the bedside tried several times and finally invited a ghost. The other party appeared in the ward with a chain in his hand, wearing a long robe, and his attitude seemed a little impatient. His expression changed after he saw the notes burned by Daoist Yu and Daoist Yu, and he seemed to be quite familiar with Daoist Yu: "It's you, Daoist Yu, I'm going to the hospital to seduce my soul, why don't you call me here?" whats the matter?"

Daoist Yu politely explained to him the fact that the little girl’s soul disappeared on the hospital bed after burning the banknotes. The date of birth and the address of the accident, after thinking for a while, suddenly realized and left.

After a while, he reappeared and brought back a little soul with a dazed expression: "Look, is it her that was lost? After staying in the Mingbei Road Major Car Accident Task Force for several days, I just said, how can you seduce the soul?" No information found in the book."

Daoist Yu replied overjoyed after seeing it clearly: "Thank you, she is right!"

Na Mingchai complained speechlessly: "You mean brat, why did you run away from the scene of the car accident? A total of more than 30 souls were locked back in this major car accident. You are busy above, and we are busy enough below."

As he spoke, he threw that dazed soul on the bed: "Let's go!"

Kuang Zhiming said to Wei Xi in surprise: "You really hooked up the wrong soul?"

After being surprised, he sighed happily: "Fortunately, Daoist Yu and Mingchai have a good relationship. Otherwise, if the child's family members give up the treatment, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wei Xi stared at the ghost: "Is this the impermanence of black and white?"

It doesn't look like it.

The second apprentice's explanation came from behind: "The ordinary seducer of the Underworld is just an ordinary seducer. It should belong to the land Tisi Yamen near the Immortal Palace, so it has a good relationship with the Immortal Palace."

In short, they are the men who run errands under the hands of Black and White Wuchang. The country is so large, and the functional departments are also divided very carefully. Most of the town gods' land temples in various places have similar positions. The seductresses also have to divide their work into different areas just like the film police. .

Oh--

Wei Xi nodded, just in time to meet the gaze of the ghost guard, who was suddenly taken aback.

"Huh." The ghost messenger with the chain came closer and looked him up and down, "Is this the Taoist chief of the Taicang sect?"

Wei Xi was not afraid at all, and even felt that he was full of yin and should be delicious: "You know me?"

Shuo Zong stared at Mingchai's gaze sharpened immediately, and the other people in the room were also frightened by the accident, exchanging glances in various ways——surprisingly Mingchai recognized him. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Wei has reached the end of his life?

Hearing that, the robed servant slapped his head and laughed loudly: "It's really you. It's a coincidence. I was going to look for you in a few days, but unexpectedly I ran into you here."

Everyone including Wei Xi: "???"

Kuang Zhiming was also frightened: "How many days? Is it the Yangshou of Taoist Chief Wei...?"

"Where is there!" The robed servant put away the chain in his hand, and took out this certificate from his robe with a smile, "It's like this, our local city god's yamen recently conducted a census of temporary residence ghosts, and found several places. It turns out that the Taicang sect has provided jobs for more than 700 ghosts in Yangjian, so they reported the matter. Yincao Yamen was very happy when they heard about it, and specially approved this certificate for us to send to Taicang Zong."

Everyone: "..."

Wei Xi: "???"

****

The messenger stuffed the certificate into Wei Xi's hands, and said with a smile, "I've been so busy recently that I haven't had time to go. We just met today, so please accept it first, and go to make up the certification ceremony another day. You don't know In recent years, ghost mouths have exploded, the housing area is not enough, and jobs are limited, resulting in many ghosts waiting to be reincarnated idle and difficult to manage. Under such a premise, your sect can provide suitable jobs for these ghosts, which is really for us The urgent need has been solved. Considering that your company has a large number of ghost employees and cannot be bound by the laws of Yangjian, our local ghost administration department specially approves you as a pilot complaint cooperation unit and enjoys director-level treatment. If you encounter temporary ghosts in the future Daoist Wei can use this certificate to complain to our City God Division at any time, and we will definitely deal with it seriously."

Wei Xi spread out the certificate in a daze, and sure enough, it was stamped with a red official seal - run by the Yin Cao Yamen.

Ming Chai looked longingly at this seal, which represented the official seal of Yincao's highest administrative agency.Pilot complaints against cooperative units, director-level treatment, Yamen really spent a lot of money in order to encourage job shortages and idle ghosts' employment problems, and actually gave out such practical rewards, not to mention the director-level treatment, he just ran errands to seduce the soul After so many years of errands, he was exhausted and worked hard, and his work performance was excellent, so he was only a small section chief of the local Town God's Department.The pilot complaint cooperation unit alone can be said to have firmly strangled the lifeline of all ghosts temporarily living in the yang world.

Yincao Yamen has always adopted an attitude of not raising officials and not prosecuting ghosts who secretly hide in Yangjian because the yin house can't live in it. In fact, it is very rare to receive reports, and sometimes it is fooled by receiving some benefits for less serious problems.

As a result, the Taicang sect now directly has the right to report, Shang Datian listens, who can escape from the ghosts and ghosts who commit crimes in their hands in the future?

Mingchai's mouth was thirsty, so his attitude was very polite. The superior leader made a special point to maintain a good cooperative relationship with this company that can provide jobs.

However, no matter how wildly he thought, Wei Xi only had one thing on his mind at the moment.

He looked at the certificate over and over again, and felt that the format of this certificate seemed to be as formal as his own company's business license, so he immediately thought of the most troublesome problem at present.

He handed the certificate to Kuang Zhiming, and tentatively asked, "Mr. Kuang, if the Taoist Association does not approve the business license, can this certificate be passed?"

Kuang Zhiming: "..."

Kuang Zhiming stared at the document spread out in front of his eyes in bewilderment, what does Taicang Zong mean?What does the cooperation unit of the local Town God's Division mean?Does this become a business unit?Or a government agency?

Wait a minute, this doesn't seem to be an institution in the normal sense, what should an institution approved by the Yincao Yamen count as?

He imagined that he would submit this document to the management office of the association, and then introduce to the Taoist friends in the management office that although the Taicang sect has no approval documents or Taoist certificates, he is actually very formal, and he is also a civil servant in the Yincao Yamen.

Kuang Zhiming fell into a trance of his own weird imagination for a moment, and muttered to himself: "It should...it should be okay."

The author has something to say: The local Taoist association that got the certificate: "????????????"
