Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 10: There are no mosquitoes in this temple

Views:

Those specious ghosts all need to be saved, but they can't be here, they have to be brought back to set up an altar, and it is said that Shi Changxuan came in person.

What they are best at together is the fast food and the talisman. The rituals of fasting rituals are numerous and complex, different for different rituals, and the time-consuming is even longer, which is a test of the master's skills.

Xie Lingya thought that there was a lone ghost here, and he didn't know where to hide at this time. Anyway, he couldn't see it within his field of vision.

The people from Taiheguan drove in. They seemed to find the person in charge of the construction site, and the car drove inside. Xie Lingya greeted them first, watched the car leave, and turned back.

"Come out." Xie Lingya said.

The male ghost found his way and stood in front of Xie Lingya shyly.

Xie Lingya wanted to ask him a few questions, but the male ghost couldn't speak, Xie Lingya said: "Then I ask you, you nod your head. I don't know how you became a ghost, but since you helped me, do you want to? I ask the Taoist priest to give you a break too?"

After a while, it will be the Mid-Yuan Festival, and by then, many pujas will be passed over together. Although the male ghost looks terrifying, it is because he fell from the building and died miserably, not a serious ghost, it is estimated that he died in vain.

But after listening to his words, the male ghost shook his head vigorously, reluctantly.

"That's it," Xie Lingya thought that he might still have some obsessions. After all, people helped him, and he couldn't force it, so he said, "Tell me your name and birth date, and I'll burn you some incense paper money first." Wan As soon as this ghost thinks about it, it's better to take some paper money and spend it below.

The male ghost was very happy, squatting down and writing on the ground with the water in the ditch. The water traces followed the movements of his fingers, showing the words. If anyone else is here, what they will probably see is a strange picture of the word water appearing out of thin air on the ground.

"Ding Aima..." Xie Lingya read out the name of the male ghost, and the male ghost raised his head and smiled at him, his face looked even more terrifying.

Xie Lingya used his mobile phone to memorize his birthday and wiped off the cinnabar on his forehead with the back of his hand—he really didn't want to see Ding Aima's grimace again.

The possessed supernatural power disappeared, Xie Lingya felt a burst of soreness in his eyes, which was probably the sequelae of using this technique.

"No way, I'll go back first, and I'll burn paper for you. You'll be more careful in the future, one yard is for another, if you do harm, I'll have to come to you." Xie Lingya said to where Ding Aima was before. With a sound, he walked in the direction of Baoyangguan.

There was a faint sound of gasping in the air, and it quickly disappeared in the wind.

When Xie Lingya went back, there were many people in the front yard of Baoyang Temple tonight, which was a bit more lively than usual.

This is all because there are no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple. In a short period of time, it has gradually spread around. As the sky gets darker, many residents who came out for activities heard about it and stopped by to have a look. There are also some merchants who took time to come. Take a look around.

When they hear the word "mosquito repellent amulet", the first thought of many people is that Taoist temples trick people into buying the amulet.

However, in this hot summer when mosquitoes breed, it does not prevent everyone from going to the field to observe. Anyway, you can't force them to buy a talisman, so just take a look.

As a result, after entering Baoyang Temple, those who have been here and have not been here are shocked.

Originally thought it was a mosquito without a trace, but it must be exaggerated, at most there are fewer mosquitoes. But if you stay here for ten or twenty minutes, you will find that there are really no mosquitoes in this place!

This is really a good thing for those who enjoy the cool at night.

As for the mosquito repellent charm, there are more people who want to buy it. After seeing the effect here, they thought that it only cost 20 yuan. Even if they were coaxing people to buy the charm, the trick they did was powerful enough.

This place is in the open air, and some things are clear. Everyone watched it for a long time, but they didn't see where they could make a name for themselves, and what method they used.

What kind of high-tech is it? This Taoist concept is so poor, how can you still afford equipment

They have everything they want, but only a small part of them really have a little reverence for Taoist temples, and they even go to incense Sanqing.

Zhang Daoting stood still, it was the role of the talisman when he was bitten, and of course it was indeed the role of the talisman, but many people always felt that there was a mystery in it.

Zhang Daoting only sells talismans, he wants to sell other talismans, but everyone is here for the mosquito repellent talismans, and gradually the stock that Xie Lingya painted before is gone.

Zhang Daoting had no choice but to ask those who still wanted to come back tomorrow. There was no other way. Xie Lingya was not here at the moment.

Therefore, by the time Xie Lingya came back, a group of people had already come to "share", and it was not so crowded. Rao So there were more people than usual, and most of them were residents who were often here.

Xie Lingya was still holding the Three Treasures Sword in his hand, so he caught everyone's eyes as soon as he came in unprepared.

"Hey, what are you doing, Xiao Xie, why are you still holding a sword?"

"I said I didn't see Xiao Xie... I just came back now."

Xie Lingya went out through the back door before, and not everyone sat here all the time. He sneered stiffly and said, "I... went to the square to practice Tai Chi sword."

Uncles, aunts, grandparents and grandparents said: "Xiao Xie, you can do it, you can also learn Tai Chi sword, come back and teach us!"

"Yeah, if you go out to practice, just practice here."

"There aren't many people here. There were a lot of people just now. They are all looking for mosquitoes. I think they can't wait to find them with a magnifying glass."

For this part of the very laid-back residents, how the mosquitoes are driven away is as unimportant as why the well water is so sweet.

Xie Lingya went to put away the sword, poured hot water again, soaked a towel on his eyes, and it was much better.

At this time, the Taoist temple was also closed. Zhang Daoting came over to see Xie Lingya and was shocked. His eyes were fine without the heat, but they turned a little red after the heat.

Zhang Daoting: "Boss, why are you crying?"

Xie Lingya: "...I didn't cry, my eyes were tired."

"That's good." Zhang Daoting asked again, "That's right. You can even know the Tai Chi sword?"

Xie Lingya: "…"

Xie Lingya sighed, "Thank you for reminding me that I will start learning Tai Chi sword tomorrow."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Boss, what are you doing...

Xie Lingya began to draw amulets despite being tired. After drawing a certain amount, he stopped and said to Zhang Daoting: "After selling these, we won't sell mosquito repellent charms, you can decide."

He saw that many people came to watch today, and they bought so many mosquito repellent charms. The news that there are no mosquitoes in Baoyangguan has already spread. It can be seen that more and more people will come to see the news in the future. It is time to control it. Mosquito repellent output. Their mosquito-free front yard is there anyway.

Zhang Daoting nodded, "Well, in fact, someone bought other charms today, just those 'return customers', said to go back and try."

"That's good." Xie Lingya went to look at the incense burner again, and estimated the number of people offering incense. Today, more than ten people have already offered incense.

Although this is not an extraordinary number, for Baoyangguan, it may be the day with the largest number of people offering incense this year.

After fighting for so long at night, after returning to do some work, Xie Lingya was tired and hungry, so he pulled some green onions in the backyard, ordered two bowls of chopped green onion noodles, and ate overnight with Zhang Daoting before going to bed.

In the next few days, the news that there were no mosquitoes in Baoyang Temple spread by word of mouth, and spread more and more around, shocking a group of visitors. They tried to find a mosquito in Baoyangguan, but failed without exception.

Zhang Daoting sells other talismans on the spot, because he is controlling the sales of mosquito repellent talismans, and there are other talismans that interested people will buy. It is said that it can cure minor ailments such as hiccups and children crying at night.

It is that many people buy this kind of miscellaneous amulets, and they all have a kind of psychology. Buying home town amulets and amulets is not only so expensive, but it is difficult to know whether it will work or not.

Some people also asked about other talismans, especially those seeking fortune and love, but unfortunately, the Baoyangguan lineage did not have much research on this.

Their ancestor Wang Lingguan was good at exorcising evil spirits and curing diseases, and the skills collected by the ancestors of Baoyangguan during their travels had nothing to do with this. After all, no one is truly omnipotent and omnipotent.

In Xie Lingya's words: "If I want to know, I will first post a copy of our Taoist temple, it's too fucking poor!"

After many people buy the charm, the first thing is not to use it according to the method, but to take a picture and post it on the social network platform. People who do this basically don't believe it, and go out with a happy mentality.

Add a sentence like this: "This small Taoist temple is very interesting, there is not a single mosquito, it is said that it has a special mosquito repellent charm... I bought a charm and came back out of curiosity!"

But the function of the talisman will not change depending on how they are - as long as it is not put there to ash, and it is attached or worn on the body according to the way.

So in the homes of the most densely distributed people around Baoyang Temple, scenes appeared:

The husband, who had been hiccups, stopped hiccups after five minutes of sticking the talisman: "Damn it, I really don't hiccups anymore."

The old man with headache and backache relieved a lot of pain after applying the talisman.

The child with poor sleep put on a talisman and dreamed of dawn.

As a result, the latest circle of friends of many people has become:

"Fuck, this talisman really works, who will explain the principle to me??"

"I used to be superstitious about science, until I bought this stuff [covers face]"

"Kneeling! I just bought it because the Taoist was handsome. It's not so fucking painful! Tell me it's not a psychological effect!"

It was still spread by word of mouth before, but now due to the larger base, many people spread it to the circle of friends and online groups, and the speed of diffusion has increased exponentially for a while.

If it's just a talisman, people who see it will only think of coincidences, psychological hints, etc., and don't care. A lot of times, it may be that the belief is good, and the belief is not good.

But this time there is another important point, that is, the original intention of the person who bought the talisman is to go to a Taoist temple without mosquitoes!

There are no mosquitoes in this Taoist temple!

The absence of mosquitoes has nothing to do with believing it or not, it's clearly there.

Therefore, Baoyang Temple and its characteristics have entered the field of vision of some Jiyang citizens.

The address of Baoyang Temple is right next to Jingui Pedestrian Street and Liming Square. Many people may just be amazed after seeing it and guess what method the Taoist Temple used, but they also remember this place firmly, and even think about the next time they pass by. Go in there to see if there are really no mosquitoes.

There are also some people who have had similar experiences by themselves or relatives and friends who are willing to believe that there are very few gods and goddesses in modern cities, but there are many going forward, especially in rural areas, where medical conditions are not developed, and many people go to such strange people for treatment.

Even today, there are still such high-level people, but few people know about it, and you may need to inquire. Perhaps, this is the way of Taoism.

Some people even thought after seeing such news: Isn't this the Taoist temple that fetched water for free before? It's just over the pedestrian street. I only knew that the water was delicious. Why is there such a strange thing now

In any case, Baoyangguan's reputation has grown rapidly in just half a month, much higher than before.

According to statistics, the number of believers has also increased to dozens. It is still a bit difficult to make non-believers become believers. Even if there are dozens of people in this area, only part of them have never had religious beliefs, because the talisman is effective, so I try to believe it. people.

Most of the incense is passing by now, but these believers will be the fixed source of incense in the future.

Besides, after Xie Lingya rested for the night, he pasted a paper bag with yellow watch paper the next day, and wrote Ding Aima's birthday and name on it. This was to ensure that the incense paper money could reach Ding Aima. , not to be intercepted by other lonely ghosts.

Xie Lingya filled the paper bag with paper money and lit it together with the incense candle.

A few days later, Xie Lingya passed by the construction site and stopped by to see Ding Aima.

It is said that the construction site that is short of funds has restarted, and it is estimated that there is money again, and Ding Aima's figure is floating alone among his former workers.

Because of Xie Lingya's incense, Ding Aima's figure was more condensed than before, and he was able to speak.

"Master, thank you for your incense and paper money. I promise that I will never harm anyone here. I used to be immature and idle." Ding Aima was finally able to speak, and when he saw him, he started to make a promise. He secretly saw it that day. Xie Lingya is cruel.

"Okay, but I'm not a Taoist priest, so you can call me teacher." Xie Lingya asked, "Can you tell me what you have in mind that you don't want to leave? Is it because you have resentment for dying in vain?"

Ding Aima said weakly, "No, I'm just afraid of death now..."

Xie Lingya: "???"

Xie Lingya: "Then what, you are already dead."

"But I won't be conscious again!" Ding Aima said sadly, "I know, I didn't rest well, I fell to my death in a trance. Fortunately, I became a ghost. If you die once, you don't know anything when you close your eyes, what does that feel like, it always feels very scary..."

Xie Lingya: "…"

At first, Ding Aima's grievance for turning into a ghost was a grievance of dying in vain, but now it is... afraid of "death"

Ding Aima asked: "By the way, teacher, if the dead soul is overthrown, do they go directly to reincarnation, or do they have to line up at the bottom? Do other ghosts want to be overthrown? What does it feel like to be overdone? Is it just me? think?"

Xie Lingya: "..."

Teacher, the teacher can't answer!

Stop calling the teacher, call it classmates!

Xie Lingya originally wanted to persuade Ding Aima again, but now that he was questioned, he thought about it for a long time and said bitterly: "I really don't know, you should do it first, when we look back at the Mid-Yuan Festival, our Taoist Temple should also be When doing things, I will observe more and collect ghosts."
