Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 29: Liu Lingtong

Views:

The next day, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan took the high-speed train back to Tuyang. While they were waiting at the ticket gate, a girl who was also waiting for the bus couldn't help but said, "Your doll is so cute..."

The facial features of Shang Lu Shen on Shi Changxuan's shoulders are lifelike, and he is also wearing overalls, especially the master is so good-looking. In fact, he was walking outside with Shang Lu Shen, and many people stared at him all the time.

After the girl finished speaking, she looked next to her and added, "Is it very popular to hang dolls on your body now?"

Is it popular

Xie Lingya followed her gaze and looked to the side. The ticket gate on the left had already started to line up to check tickets. At the end of the queue was a man in his 30s or 40s, wearing a peaked cap and couldn't see his face clearly.

It is worth noting that this man has a little wooden figurine more than two inches tall on his hat. It looks harder than Shang Lu Shen. After all, it is wood, and Shang Lu Shen is a plant root. The top of this little wooden man's head was painted black, just like his hair. He also had clothes on his body, but it was rougher, which reminded Xie Lingya of the one he made at the beginning.

Shang Lushen whispered in Shi Changxuan's ear: "Liu Linglang, Liu Linglang, was born on the side of a wilderness road, please be a god general but be a concubine."

Shi Changxuan frowned slightly.

Shang Lu Shen said again: "Luck meets Fuyin... Lost... Life gets canopy... Hey!"

After being stuck several times, he finally shut up in frustration, as if he had encountered a problem.

At this time, the man turned his head slightly, and although the brim of his hat was very low, Xie Lingya always felt that he was looking at him. It stands to reason that at this distance he shouldn't be able to hear them talking about him, and he can't see this person's eyes. But Xie Lingya had a feeling of being watched.

However, the man only looked at it for two seconds and then turned around, as if his action was just a coincidence, but Xie Lingya always felt that it was not an illusion just now.

The queue next door gradually moved forward, and the man checked the ticket and entered. Xie Lingya looked up and saw that the train next door was bound for the provincial capital of Quedong, which was the opposite of where they were going.

"... This person gives me a very uncomfortable feeling." Xie Lingya murmured.

At this time, the train they were taking also started to check tickets, and everyone around them stood up and stepped forward, including the girl who spoke to them.

Only then did Shi Changxuan say, "Liu Lingtong is hanging on his hat."

When they went to dig Shang Lu Shen before, Shi Changxuan explained the origin of this technique to him a little.

Both Liu Lingtong and Shang Lushen belong to the God of Repayment of Ears, and the methods of sacrificing and refining are basically the same, but the difference is that Shanglu God is a natural wood spirit, while Liu Lingtong, also known as Liu Linglang, is a statue of broken willow branches. Including the dead soul is called "pretending to be in the body", and the dead soul of a child who died violently is the best, because the Yuanyang is not released, and there is less anger.

Whether it is Shang Lu Shen or Liu Lingtong, cultivators raise them. If they cultivate merits, their souls will ascend to heaven or reincarnated. If they use them to do unrighteous acts, they will be punished by hell.

"No wonder he seems to know that we are talking about him..." Xie Lingya did not expect to meet a second person who had an ear for repaying God, even though he only met from a distance.

He felt that this person gave him an uncomfortable feeling just now, and now he can't help but guess whether this person's Liu Lingtong might be pretending to be a very resentful soul of death.

The man had long since disappeared, and Shi Changxuan frowned and said, "Shang Lushen wanted to count him just now, but he changed his words many times, but he couldn't report the exact number."

Xie Lingya was surprised that Shang Lushen's forecast would not be very long, it could be a few minutes later, or a few days in the long run. Fate will change, it will predict the most likely one.

A person's fate usually does not change repeatedly in a very short period of time, and changes like Mr. Gao's make them feel wrong.

But let Shang Lushen change his words repeatedly, indicating that this person may have been "doing things", resulting in too many variables, and Shang Lushen can't measure a relatively certain fate.

"But Shang Lu Shen mentioned that he had a life of Huagai, and this person raised Liu Lingtong, he is likely to be a cultivator." Shi Changxuan said again, the star hit Huagai is an art star, and a person has a life of Huagai, then it may very well be Aloofness, intelligence, and affinity with gods and Buddhas are the materials for learning arithmetic.

Shi Changxuan also repeated the sentence that Shang Lushen had read before, "Liu Linglang, Liu Linglang, was born on the side of a wilderness road, please be a god and be a concubine. I am afraid that he will not do anything with this Liu Lingtong. Good thing."

As a result, that Liu Lingtong is also very difficult to reincarnate.

Xie Lingya sighed when he heard the words. The high-speed train bound for the provincial capital had already departed, carrying the man and Liu Lingtong. Everyone just met by chance, and he could only regret it at this time.

Shang Lu's fetish hurt his kind, and whispered, "...Hold yourself tight!"

Shi Changxuan listened to Shang Lushen's nagging for a long time, and stayed with Xie Lingya for a long time. At this time, he couldn't help but say lightly, "You can't move."

Shang Lu Shen: "Hey!"

After Xie Lingya went back, there was another good thing. He posted a recruitment notice before, but now there are two people who have applied for the job.

Both of them are over 30 years old and have experience in other temples. Xie Lingya asked Shi Changxuan to help him test it. They have a solid foundation, so they are in the temple.

One of the Taoist names was Hou Xuzhong, and the other was Liu Bohe. Not only can it lighten Zhang Daoting's burden, but Hou Xuzhong still has experience and can cancel the signing.

The spirit lottery is also a kind of fortune-telling tool. It is made of bamboo and wood strips and has a lottery number on it. You can shake out your lottery from the lottery tube, and then you can find the corresponding lottery to unravel the lottery. Many temples and Taoist temples have such divination tools, and it costs ten yuan or twenty yuan to solve the lottery, which is also an income.

As for Liu Bohe, he is also very proficient in Zhaijiao, and it is said that he also participated in some local high-gong music lessons in the previous temples.

It was because there was not enough accommodation in Baoyangguan, so Xie Lingya had no choice but to tidy up the utility room, distributing things into his own room and Zhang Daoting's room, and then separated into two bedrooms.

Hou Xuzhong and Liu Bo have no opinion on the merger. You must know that they have slept in and out of bed in the previous palace.

Xie Lingya thought to himself, he still had to save money quickly, otherwise he would not be able to live in the future if he recruited Taoist priests, and Baoyang Temple was too small. It is impossible that there will be more and more believers in the future, but their full-time Taoist priests have to rent houses to live in, so what is it called "living Taoist priests".

In addition, Xie Lingya also received an invitation from Ding Aima.

The shopping mall that Ding Aima participated in the construction of, has finally been renovated and opened recently. Ding Aima warmly invited the ghosts he knew to visit his "new home".

"..." Xie Lingya felt something strange, but went to cheer.

Before going out, he watched the tide and asked Xie Lingya, "Where is Mr. Xie going?"

Xie Lingya thought for a while and said, "I'll go shopping."

Hai Guanchao: "Then you can come back with some rolled paper from the supermarket..."

"Oh." Xie Lingya sweated and went out.

"Mr. Xie, the coupons are over there." Ding Aima greeted Xie Lingya at the door, showed him where to get the coupons, and introduced him to what business each floor of the mall was doing.

Ding Aima said: "I usually like to stay in a cinema on the fifth floor and watch movies. Movies are expensive, but unfortunately I can't watch 3D ones. Or I'm lying in a home furnishing store on the third floor with a very big bed. I haven't slept in such a big bed when I'm alive..."

Xie Lingya: "…"

... Xie Lingya felt very sad when he heard it, and then Ding Aima also greeted Qin Limin, who was also a guest, and told him to be careful when he floated away, and be careful not to be discovered that there are ghosts here.

"Ai Ma, what floor is the supermarket on?" Xie Lingya asked when Hai Guanchao said that the rolls were gone.

"On the negative first floor." A young beauty next to her was faster than Ding Aima, and immediately replied, and smiled at Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya was stunned for a moment. "Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome." Seeing Xie Lingya's appearance, the beauty felt that they were destined, and started the topic, "Are you from the Northeast? We are half fellows, and my mother is also from the Northeast."

"No." Xie Lingya answered in a puzzled way before she came to a realization. There were black lines, someone from the Northeast, he was calling Ding Aima, not oh my god.

Ding Aima stood beside him and hesitated, "Should I not be here?"

"Thank you, goodbye." Xie Lingya quickly thanked again, and then went to the supermarket.

"Mr. Xie, what are you looking for? I know all about it, and I'll tell you." Ding Aima actually touched the mall in a short period of time and asked Xie Lingya very enthusiastically, more active than a shopping guide.

Xie Lingya lamented that he even enjoyed a VIP service, and under the guidance of Ding Aima, he got the most cost-effective tissue, and also bought a few daily necessities with great discounts.

When queuing up, Xie Lingya met that "half fellow" beauty again, she was happy to Xie Lingya, "What a coincidence."

"Qiao." Xie Lingya smiled awkwardly.

The beauty didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued to talk, this time changing the subject: "Hey, did you know? This mall was haunted when it was being built."

As soon as she said it, there were other people in the same queue looking at it with interest, and an aunt said to her companion, "I seem to have heard of it."

Xie Lingya glanced at Ding Aima: "...I don't know."

The beautiful woman said, "Don't you know? Someone fell from the building when the construction started, and then they became a ghost, so that the workers here and passers-by have been harassed."

Xie Lingya glanced at Ding Aima again and said dryly, "Is it so scary?"

Ding Aima bowed his head in shame: "It's all old Huang Li."

"But don't be afraid, it's not haunted anymore." The beauty said mysteriously, "Do you know why?"

Xie Lingya thought about it: "It should... I don't know."

The beauty pointed in one direction, "It is said that they were stunned by the nearby Baoyang Temple. They are the priests of Wang Lingguan. Do you know Wang Lingguan? The Taoist Dharma protector, how could he allow ghosts around his place? Living!"

Xie Lingya: "…"

The beauty added: "I also listened to my colleague."

Ding Aima curled his lips beside him, "Nonsense. Qin Limin is still patrolling in front of the viewing."

The beauty looked at Xie Lingya with a speechless expression, but didn't think about it elsewhere, she just felt that she failed to strike up a conversation, and she was very disappointed.

In fact, apart from being speechless, Xie Lingya was in a good mood. Although the content of what this girl said is a bit wrong, it reflects a situation, that is, their popularity in the hearts of the public has become higher and higher, more and more reliable, and the fame of the ancestors has also been spread.

From that point of view, it's pretty good.

Xie Lingya returned with a full reward. When he returned, he saw Liu Bohe lecturing on the scriptures to the old lady who was chatting in the yard, "Preventing disasters is easier than saving disasters, and it is the same as preventing diseases. Therefore, we must accumulate virtue and seek blessings in peacetime, and we cannot wait until When disaster strikes, I think of going to…”

Old lady: "cramping!"

Liu Bohe: "..."

Old lady: "Oh, please God!"

Liu Bohe: "...Yes. So people need to know how disasters come, and usually pay more attention to their words and deeds."

Liu Bohe is older than Zhang Daoting in the end. He has studied for a long time. He speaks the scriptures in a simple way, and he looks older, and some believers who judge people by their appearance are also convinced.

Of course, it is not enough just to sell the talisman to unravel the lottery, and it is necessary to publicize the teachings and thoughts to everyone in order to be truly convinced.

Xie Lingya was very relieved to see this situation.

At the same time, in the view of Taihe, Chen Sansheng said apologetically to the other end of the phone: "My body has not recovered yet, so I really can't undertake this."

"This... Is it true that other Masters in our view are not good? Like Master Zhu, he is also a contemporary high-gong."

"Well, then maybe there is someone who fits your requirements."

Xie Lingya brought a piece of yellow cloth to Liu Bohe, who was going to teach a layman to study the scriptures. Aunts and mothers-in-law like to listen to Liu Bohe's sermons, and Xie Lingya also told Liu Bohe that many of what he said involved the principles of life. So after some time, some believers volunteered to study the scriptures seriously.

Zhang Daoting has never enjoyed this kind of treatment. Most people ask him for advice. He has a tender face.

The place where the scriptures are placed is to be paved with yellow and red cloth, so Xie Lingya brought a small amount of cloth.

After Xie Lingya gave the cloth to Liu Bohe, he took out a piece of paper and pasted it on the wall with the words "Learn the classics, the gods shun". The paper turned yellow, and it was still a handwriting by Wang Yuji before his death.

Many believers here have recently come into contact with Taoism because of Baoyang Temple, so they asked: "Daoist, what does the word on it mean?"

Liu Bohe explained: "Reciting the scriptures, and the six Jias coming to support them, has the effect of saving others and oneself. If a person recites the scriptures, the surrounding plants, trees, insects and ants will benefit from it. But if you read the scriptures incorrectly, it will also hurt living beings. We Not very proficient when studying, so avoid it and learn to be proficient in private.”

If you make a mistake in public chanting, you must correct it in time, otherwise, you will not be able to save people, but instead will cause harm.

For example, Shi Changxuan and Xie Lingya did things to save the dead. If the scriptures were read incorrectly, the dead souls heard the wrong content, and of course they couldn't think about it. When they can't think about it, that person who has been saved has no merit and has sins.

Xie Lingya has always read books when they are in use, so he has only learned a few paragraphs of "Recovering the Dead". At this time, standing beside him, he listened to the "Chang Qing Jing Jing".

The full name of this sutra is "Tai Shang Lao Jun Shuo Chang Qing Jing Jing", but it has more than 500 characters and is one of the sutras that Taoists often recite.

Xie Lingya remembered it after listening to Liu Bohe read it once. He still had to explain the meaning, and Xie Lingya went out. Everyone has a different understanding of the scriptures. Xie Lingya felt that he had some insights after listening to it, so he did not listen to Liu Bohe for the time being, so as not to fight in his mind for a while.

After Xie Lingya went out, he packed up the sundries and went out to take out the trash. He saw a luxury car parked at the entrance of Baoyangguan, a man in his fifties descended from above, and then Shi Changxuan also got off from above.

"Master Shi." Xie Lingya said hello, looking at the two of them curiously, wondering who they were.

The man looked up at the plaque of Baoyangguan, showing a somewhat surprised look, and said, "Baoyangguan, you live here?"

Shi Changxuan nodded.

The man slapped his forehead, "It's God's will!"

Xie Lingya: "Who is this?"

Shi Changxuan replied, "I found it through Chen Guanzhu."

Chen Sansheng's body hasn't recovered, and people are looking for him to do things one after another, and some he can't refuse, such as this one in front of him. Seeing that Chen Sansheng really couldn't go out, he asked him to recommend someone.

Chen Sansheng originally wanted to go to other Taoist priests in his view, but this person did not approve, so Chen Sansheng had to recommend him to find Shi Changxuan. The man went to Quedong College to find Shi Changxuan.

Although Shi Changxuan only said one sentence, Xie Lingya only thought about it for a while and then guessed, "That's right. Did you agree?"

He was a little strange, the two of them could make an appointment on their own, so why did they bring them back to Baoyang Temple.

Before Shi Changxuan could speak, the man reached out his hand and said a little excitedly, "My dear Tang Qi, is your surname Xie, this teacher?"

Xie Lingya shook hands with him: "Do you know me?"

Tang Qi said with emotion: "When I first asked about this matter, there was a friend you should know, Mr. Gao Xianliang, who recommended Baoyang Temple to me, and said that there was a teacher Xie here. Ashamed to say, I checked it at the time. I felt that the scale was too small, so I turned to Chen Guanzhu from Taiheguan. Chen Guanzhu was unwell, and asked me to ask Daochang Shi if he was willing to take action. Who knows, Daochang Shi is here to place orders, go around, and again came back!"

Xie Lingya knew that there was still such a setback, and said politely: "Then we still have some fate."

Tang Qi said: "Yeah, I actually bought a piece of mountain, and I wanted to ask a priest to give some advice on Feng Shui, and do a ritual by the way, because some corpses came out during the land preparation. Then Daochang Shi said, I have to come back and ask someone. Haha, I must be asking you, right?"

Does Shi Changxuan still need to ask someone? Xie Lingya looked at Shi Changxuan in confusion.

Shi Changxuan was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Tang is in a hurry and needs dozens of talismans..."

Xie Lingya: "…"

Xie Lingya understood instantly, and made a gesture, "OK, let's go in and talk."

Tang Qi has a wealth of wealth. He recently bought a large mountain, which also contains hot springs, and wants to create a tourist resort. Just recently levelled and found some white bones.

It's normal to have dead bones on this mountain, but it also reminded Tang Qi to be careful when doing business on the mountain, and to ask someone to do it. Again, carefully plan your feng shui. Compared with the previous General Manager Gao, he still believed this more. When I bought the land, I bought it only because the mountains were very good. Now, of course, I also need to pay attention to the construction.

Tang Qi thought that Chen Sansheng had some cultivation level before, but he had also heard of the Shi family in the provincial capital. Now that Shi Changxuan has to ask Xie Lingya, his impression of Xie Lingya and Baoyangguan has changed. When Mr. Gao recommended it to him before, he not only thought the scale was small, but also secretly felt that he had no ability.

"I'm in a hurry. Time is money. Why would it take three days to do things that can be done in one day?" Tang Qi said, "If I can, I'll pick you two up the mountain tomorrow."

Although Xie Lingya didn't know much about feng shui, but Shi Changxuan understood it, he helped to organize rituals and carry forward his role as a human flesh seal machine.

As a result, both of them agreed, and everyone hit it off.

"By the way, there's one thing that the two of you won't mind, right?" Tang Qi suddenly remembered something, scratched his head and said, "My plan for this resort area includes a hot spring villa and a Buddhist temple."

Xie Lingya: "??"

Tang Qi innocently said: "I have already made an appointment with an eminent monk to be an abbot at my place."

Xie Lingya: "…"

It is of course common to build temples in scenic spots.

However, Xie Lingya originally thought that Tang Qi was a believer, but now he found out that Tang Qi can believe in whatever spirit he is, or he believes in money, because it is indeed better to do Buddhist temples now.

Just asking a Taoist priest to look at the feng shui for the site selection of a Buddhist temple is too arrogant.

Does your eminent monk know?

On the contrary, Shi Changxuan calmed down a bit. After all, he studies religious studies and said to Xie Lingya, "Buddhism does not talk about Feng Shui, but only about good fortune."

In the Buddhist scriptures, Sakyamuni clearly stipulated that Buddhist disciples should not engage in feng shui divination and choose auspicious days. If any Buddhist disciples do this, it can only mean that they are deceiving people or breaking the rules. Called "Evil Fate".

So Tang Qi, the boss, depends on Feng Shui, and of course he has to find a door. Think about it, even if the monk knows, it probably doesn't matter. After all, it is Tang Qi who sees Feng Shui, not them, although it is a bit strange to say it.

What else could Xie Lingya say, "... Hey, that monk doesn't mind anymore, what do we mind!"
