Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 100: Catch life instead of death

Views:

The greening of Tuyang City is very good, and there are wild peach blossoms on the mountains in the suburbs. When the whole city woke up and the news of the peach blossoms was spread, people realized that only the peach blossoms around the pedestrian street were blooming.

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

All of a sudden, there are a lot of people who come to visit, and even the city TV station recorded a small news report on these unique early-blooming peach trees in the city.

It's just that the previous speculations don't quite agree. Even if the peach blossoms really misunderstood the flowering period, opened ahead of time, and were blown down, why are the different peach blossoms different in IQ? Is it easy to be fooled by Taohuasha near Jingui Pedestrian Street

For a time, everything was said and there were speculations.

It is said that there is a hot spring underground, which has urged the peach blossoms to open - obviously it is unlikely, there is a Baoyang Spring next to it, which is very normal, a cold water spring.

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

The most amazing one is that some local tyrants planned to propose marriage here, so people tried to urge the peach blossoms here every day in advance, and when they proposed marriage last night, people shook the tree frantically, shaking all the petals off. One is for the romantic atmosphere of floating flowers at that time, and the other is to hope that only the two of them can see the flowers - this is the highest voice.

Xie Lingya lived at the intersection of the street, and some classmates came to ask him if he had seen which local tyrant was so careless.

—Perhaps because peach blossoms destroy evil, but they always bring a bit of charm. Most people are more willing 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 a flower is very pitiful, if my boyfriend can propose to me with the winter peach blossoms that only I see, I will definitely marry."

Xie Lingya showed a look of disapproval.

The female classmate said angrily when she saw it: "That's why you don't have a girlfriend. Most straight guys don't have a romantic relationship." Xie Lingya's personal problems are well known, and no one can handle it.

Xie Lingya: "…"

Damn, his romantic cells are going to be scary.

Another classmate also said faintly: "What do you know, Xie Lingya doesn't need romantic cells, he can just wait for the girl to romance him..."

Xie Lingya wanted to come out on the spot, so she bowed her hands and said, "Please stop talking, I'll go to Professor Zhu to ask for leave."

"Ask for leave again?" Xie Lingya's attendance rate is as famous as his hard work. Every time he comes back, he makes up for classes frantically, and I heard that people go on business trips to do things on behalf of Taoist temples. God is very Taoist.

"Yes." Xie Lingya didn't say too much. This time, it was the person who was introduced by Tang Qi. He was not in the city, so he needed to take a leave of absence.

Tang Qi gave a brief introduction. Recently, he cooperated with the other party's son. He heard that after the old man in his family returned from a trip, his stomach was swollen. It's been tricked.

So, Tang Qi's partner changed direction. Thinking about his father's recent itinerary, he went to the place where he traveled to look for it. He wanted to find out the gull and solve the gu. I talked to the local fellow, but unfortunately the other party didn't seem to be planning to show up.

He knew in his heart that it was not good, and he didn't know how his father provoked a temperamental expert. When he came back, he inquired about the experts in this field, and wanted to invite them to fight.

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

Xie Lingya was continuing to save money, so he packed up and asked for leave as soon as he heard it, took Xiaoli and Guo Xing out, and left Shi Changxuan to sit in the watch. Start.

Guo Xing is also the first time to ask for leave for this kind of thing.

Looking at him like this, Xie Lingya felt that he had the potential to do this kind of work...

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 one's guts are broken, and he is worried everywhere, no matter how talented he is, he can't do it.

Tang Qi's partner was called Fu Zhiye. He was in Qingqiu City, not too far away. It only took more than an hour to get there by high-speed train.

Xie Lingya gave Guo Xing instructions on what to pay attention to when he arrived at the main house. There is no need to worry about a small amount. He was educated when he followed the liar master before.

Fu Zhiye's family arranged for a driver to pick him up at the high-speed rail station, but Xie Lingya found out that it was not only them, but two other groups of people, one group of middle-aged men and women, thin and inconspicuous.

But this is not surprising. Fu Zhiye was very concerned about his father. He heard from Tang Qi that he had invited other people, and there were many friends like Tang Qi who introduced him.

When he met his colleagues at the main house, no matter how cheerful Ren Xie Lingya was, he just nodded lightly, and everyone didn't speak.

Another group of people only saw Fu Zhiye after he came out. A middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair and a tall head, Fu Zhiye asked him as he walked to the living room, "Master Niu, how long will it take for the result?"

The master Niu said, "After three hours, if the water doesn't pour out, it proves that your lord is still alive."

Fu Zhiye couldn't help nodding, and when he saw a few people outside, he stepped forward to say hello: "It's Teacher Xie, and Mr. Bao and Ms. Bao? It's been a long wait."

He also glanced at the two people 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 a little apologetically, "Because my father is seriously ill, I have asked people to treat him everywhere. I just hope that he will recover soon. Please forgive me... I don't know which master will go in next?"

None of the people present were entangled in the matter of queuing, they were all for making money, and they had a good attitude.

Xie Lingya spread his hands, "You two please?"

The middle-aged man and woman were both surnamed Bao, and they were probably siblings or siblings. Unexpectedly, Xie Lingya gave up. They looked at each other and looked at Xie Lingya: "What is your name, sir?"

Xie Lingya reported his name.

"...Teacher Xie who holds Yangguan." Unexpectedly, the two also knew Xie Lingya, showing a clear expression, as if to say that it is no wonder that he has the courage to let others see it first.

Xie Lingya was only stunned for a moment and smiled at them.

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

They also introduced themselves. The man's name was Bao Wenqi and the woman's name was Bao Wenshan. They were siblings, and then they entered the room.

The previous Master Niu didn't leave either, and waited silently in the living room with Xie Lingya and the others.

After about 20 minutes, Bao Wenshan's sister and brother came out, but instead of reading it, they took all the tools. It seemed that they were about to start the treatment.

Seeing this, Master Niu also sat up a little nervously. After all, if Bao Wenshan and the others were cured, both he and Xie Lingya would make a vain trip, and at most they would get some money for the carriage.

Xie Lingya didn't know what they were doing at first, but when he saw the tools they were holding, he whispered to Guo Xinghe and Xiaoliang, "Shaman."

Guo Xing and Xiaoliang widened their eyes, they only knew the name of the shaman.

The so-called shaman is actually "witch". These two words are in the Tungusic language. Most of the ethnic minorities in China believe in it, but in China, there have been few traces of shamans in recent decades.

The shaman was going to dance to the gods, and the ceremony could not be limited to just one room. Since they did not ask Master Niu and Xie Lingya to avoid it, everyone sat in the living room and watched the shaman cast spells.

Bao Wenshan held a banner made of multicolored paper in his hand, inserted it outside the gate, and prepared an incense case, "Heavy pouring tea and wine to connect with the gods, there is the blue sky above, the earth officials, the heaven officials and the earth officials, and the three officials of Suifu, Running horse, Gao Huang Jade Emperor, this county's city god, take 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.

Xie Lingya felt a little vague, and knew that Bao Wenshan and his brother had some skills, and the county's city god might not be able to invite them, but they did invite Yin Temple Lishi.

Bao Wenshan and Bao Wenqi were sweating profusely, and the mantras became more and more urgent, and everyone's expressions could not help but be infected with a little nervousness.

Finally, with a click, the incense head of the incense case was broken, and Bao Wenshan also took two steps back and sat on the ground.

Bao Wenqi frowned, temporarily changing the ceremony, bowing his back like an animal, "please come and sit in a row, and the golden cat god didn't come..."

This is to invite animal gods instead.

Xie Lingya thought to himself, these yin temple warriors don't work, can the cat god be useful

"Oh-" Listening to the father in the room yelled, the sound was not the same as ordinary people, or it was not like a person, extremely loud, and it was a bit faintly like ... like a rooster beating.

Bao Wenqi's eyes lit up, jumping and walking into the room, Fu Zhiye followed.

Xie Lingya couldn't help but stood up and looked into the room, but it was not easy to get in, so spying on him was not good anymore.

After Father Fu screamed in pain a few times, the voice suddenly disappeared.

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

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

Fu Zhiye came out a little dejected. These days, Bao Wenshan and the others have been the most effective. Before that, his father was too uncomfortable to 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 500,000 yuan in remuneration."

Everyone present was hot.

Xie Lingya also thought, what is the concept of 500,000 yuan, the money from the Mountain Gate Hall will come out...

Even Bao Wenshan and Bao Wenqi looked like they wanted to try again. Bao Wenshan said, "Mr. Fu, although we failed, our uncle is a god-given shaman. We can invite him to come over."

Fu Zhiye's spirit was lifted, "God-given shaman?"

Bao Wenshan explained: "We were elected by our family to learn to become shamans, but our uncle became a shaman when he was young, after being sick for a while, this is called a divine shaman. I was caught by an old shaman who became a god and went to study, and when I woke up, I knew everything."

It is self-evident which one is more advanced, God-given or human-chosen.

They made a weird cry just now, like a rooster, and since they were invited animal gods, Fu Zhiye vaguely felt that it was the right thing to do. Maybe their elders with deeper skills could break this Gu.

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

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

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

Before entering the room, Xie Lingya found that Master Niu's expression was also very tense, and couldn't stop looking at Bao Wenshan and the two.

As soon as they entered Fu Fu'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 faction this 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 were family photos outside, Xie Lingya knew at a glance that Fu's father had lost a lot of weight. Only his belly was bulging, like a pregnant woman. He was holding his stomach and humming, speechless.

Xie Lingya opened the clothes and saw that his stomach was not only swollen, but also faintly blue. When he reached out and touched it, it was soft and hard, as if there was a lump of flesh.

"How do you feel?" Xie Lingya asked.

Fu's father was in unspeakable pain, and only Fu Zhiye replied: "It's like a stick is stirring the internal organs. It wasn't so painful at first, and it's increasing day by day."

Xie Lingya watched for a while and asked, "Elder Fu, did you eat chicken when you went out of town?"

Father Fu suddenly froze, looked at him in awe, and squeezed out of his throat: "When you say it... It seems that after eating... I started to feel uncomfortable, and it was like a stomach upset at the time... "

After Fu's father became ill, many people came to see it, and many people recognized it as a gu, but there were too many types of gu poison, and he was a master, so no one had identified the specific situation.

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

"Yes, in fact, they don't do it, and Ling Zun will call it that sooner or later. It's just that this really made me sure that Ling Zun should have been caught in a pickle." Xie Lingya said, he had seen such an example in Baoyang's notebook.

Fu Zhiye hurriedly asked, "What is that?"

"A person who has been hit by a pickling gu will grow out of what he uses to pick the gu. After eating chicken, a rooster will gradually take shape in his body. Once fully grown, Lingzun will die. Gua Playing Gu is about being casual, whoever hits the spot is who, and may have no grievances with you... Of course, they usually prefer to choose strangers from other places."

Fu Zhiye and Fu Fu's faces changed drastically, and they didn't think it was a good thing that the shaman made them croak in their stomachs. This thing will croak, and there is still time left for them.

Fu Zhiye said nervously, "Teacher Xie, you must save my father!"

Xie Lingya comforted: "Mr. Fu, calm down, this can be cured, just prepare some medicinal materials and the like, and wait until the fifth watch."

Seeing Xie Lingya's calm appearance, Fu Zhiye couldn't help but feel relieved, "Teacher Xie, then please!"

Xie Lingya nodded.

Guo Xing and Xiao Liang originally thought that Teacher Xie's business would be guaranteed, but after going out, the Bao siblings and Master Niu still stayed, and Fu Zhiye also discussed therapy with them.

It seems that although Xie Lingya has told the most about the origin of the 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 Xiao Liang, two "assistants", were arranged to sleep together.

The treatment of illness at the fifth watch is not the fifth watch today. Some medicinal materials are not ready for a while, and it may be the next day.

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

Xie Lingya didn't think about it that much. He has been in business so far, and he can't be in a hurry. If it is true that the uncle of the Bao family cured Fu Fu in the end, then it can only be said that everyone's fate is not enough.

Xie Lingya fell asleep in the guest room in a very good mood, but his 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?"

Xiaoqian was so nervous that he was deformed, "Teacher Xie, look! Hurry up and look!"

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

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

He was so frightened that he immediately called Xie Lingya, for fear that Guo Xing would not be seen when he went out.

Is there a Guo Xing outside the window? I'm afraid it's Guo Xing's soul.

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

Guo Xing is not a sign of premature death at all, so this is definitely not a ghost, and they have seen this living soul with the naked eye, it is definitely some kind of evil magic.

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

Xiaoliang was thinking about what to go out, and when he saw the window next to him, Teacher Xie jumped out and startled him. They lived on the second floor.

Xie Lingya almost stabbed his foot. He was not as good as Shi Changxuan. After landing, he stumbled a few times before running wildly.

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

Guo Xing was alone in the yard, floating in one direction. Xie Lingya finally caught up. Seeing his ignorant expression, his mind changed, and he used the imprint of his heart to bind his soul.

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

Xie Lingya wanted to take Guo Xing's soul back quickly, but he ignored it for a while and ran back.

He and Xiaoli ran up and down the house, put the soul back into Guo Xing's body, and burned the talisman water to calm his nerves, waking up the Bao sisters and brothers and Master Niu.

Xie Lingya thought of the flashing figure, his face turned cold, he went out to look at them, his eyes fell on Master Niu.

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

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

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

Master Niu's face turned blue, and he said bluntly, "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.

Catching life instead of dying is a very common evil method. Back then, Xie Lingya had met a man who cast a spell on money and threw it out.

This one is even more vicious. The caster holds the lamp and shouts for the soul. In the dream, the soul leaves the body and goes to the sound. The mage hands the lamp to the soul. If the soul receives the lamp, the spell will be completed. save. Because he had prepared the law in advance, the person who took the light could die for one person. Even save money.

As for who to die for, think about the situation at the scene, of course, it was the father who died. Xie Lingya and the Bao brothers and sisters are racing against time to cast spells. If Master Niu wants to get the reward, this method is direct and quick, but it lacks great virtue - can this still be called saving people

These mages are firm in their minds, their souls will not be called away, and a small amount has been transformed. Mr. Fu paid the money and could not be called away. In the end, Guo Xing was caught. This is also thanks to Guo Xing. If it is someone else who lives nearby, Xie Lingya may not be able to find it for a while, and it will be too late to rescue him!

Everyone is an expert, Xie Lingya and the Bao siblings guessed something, and subconsciously took a few steps away from him.

Xie Lingya saw it, and was a little relieved. There are not a few people in this industry who use their abilities to do bad things, but there are always people who stick to their principles. It is Guo Xing who is a bit miserable, and he is unlucky as soon as 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 qi attack. When they looked outside, their breathing suddenly accelerated.

I saw among the landscape trees in the courtyard, I don't know when there were heavy shadows of skeletons, reflecting pale light in the moonlight, and some still had carrion hanging on their bodies, and they walked out step by step.

Xie Lingya's heart was even tighter, the location was different, but he had seen such a scene once. It was the corpse forest that the Evil Buddha summoned when he besieged Hongyang Road.

Could it be that it was really the remnants of Hongyang Dao who had followed him to Qingqiu City!

"What happened?" Fu Zhiye came downstairs to the living room. He was also awakened by the movement of others, but only two steps slower.

However, when he got downstairs, Fu Zhiye also saw the scenery outside. He said a dirty word and took a few steps back. He clutched his heart and said, "Is that the evil mage who was gushing? He saw that you were about to cure my father, and he took action again? How can there be such a vicious person in the world!"

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

He was embarrassed, and everyone in the room was probably implicated by him.

The others didn't react yet, but Master Niu said with a blank face: "I heard that Xie Lingya from Tuyang was extremely cruel... I, I didn't succeed in casting spells, do you want to take revenge like this?"

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