Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 30: Landscape for lotus

Views:

The next day, Tang Qilai picked up Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan. With help this time, he brought everything he needed.

Tang Qi is a person who does things swiftly and resolutely. He attaches great importance to following him personally, and he also uses a laptop to work remotely in the car. In the middle, I also care about the size of Baoyang Temple.

Xie Lingya suspects that he is also interested in Baoyang Temple, but although Baoyang Temple has recently become popular, it is small and the surrounding land is expensive, and it cannot be integrated like his resort. It is very lonely and not cost-effective.

After Tang Qi left yesterday, Shi Changxuan told Xie Lingya that according to Chen Sansheng, Tang Qi wanted to contract Taiheguan before, but Chen Sansheng couldn't agree to it. They sold tickets and planned things by themselves, and they did a good job. . It is a large-scale contract, and behind the scenes sits the Qingliu in the Taoist temple of the private boss.

It is also because there are more incense in Taihe Temple, and Tang Qi just came up with the idea. Now that he is developing the scenic spot, he chose the temple and brought in eminent monks. In addition to the Buddhist temples that are easy to do, it is also a local market that is not so big for new Taoist temples.

It took about an hour to travel from Baoyangguan to the piece of land Tang Qi bought. After arriving at the place, there was only a yellow mud on the site, and there were some second-floor mobile prefab houses on the side.

A few people rested for a while, put their things away, and then Tang Qi poured the tea himself, and said proudly: "Shi Daochang, how is my mountain?"

Shi Changxuan nodded and said, "Ups and downs."

In Feng Shui, dragons are used to describe the changes of mountains, because mountains are as good as dragons, and looking at mountains is like looking at dragon veins. The dragon veins originated from Shanzu—Kunlun Mountain is called Shanzu by Kanyu family, and Shanzu extends out of three main dragon veins, each of which has many branches. In addition to the three dry dragons, there are also three large waters, namely the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Yalu River, each sandwiching the three major dry dragons.

Before looking at the mountain, it seems that you only observe one place, but in fact you have to know the dragon veins in the world and know its "inside and out" in order to make a better judgment.

Most of the mountains in Queshan Province belong to the branch of Zhongtiaoganlong. The mountain range where Tang Qi bought this land is a "jinlong", ups and downs, very powerful, and belongs to a very wealthy pattern.

Shi Changxuan looked behind him, and said again, "Where is the Quankou?"

Yesterday Tang Qi said that he would build a hot spring villa here, so Shi Changxuan only asked this question. Probably not easy to see, Tang Qi took out a map and pointed it to Shi Changxuan: "We are in this position now, and the Quankou is over there."

As the old saying goes, a lake has water that will not dry up for a thousand years, and a family has wealth that will not be scattered for a thousand years. The method of feng shui, water is the first, this hot spring water gathers in front, attracting wealth and qi.

Shi Changxuan nodded, "You build the villa here, and the water gathers the heart of the sky. As for the Buddhist temple, if you want to get angry, walk around a little to see where the qi gathers."

"Okay, haha." Tang Qi was very happy.

After resting for a while, they put on their overshoes again and went up to the higher ground to look at the air. Tang Qi and several of his subordinates followed, surprised. After being with Tang Qi for so long, of course he knows what Tang Qi likes, but in the past Tang Qi invited famous Taoist priests and eminent monks, all of whom were at least forty or fifty years old, but these two were dressed in plain clothes, not like monks. That's all, he's still young like a student.

Of course, later on they will know that one of them is indeed still a student.

Xie Lingya didn't use it originally, but he was embarrassed to sit and wait by himself. He could learn something next to Shi Changxuan, so he went up the mountain together.

Although there are no plants and trees here, there are photos and videos these days, which is enough to prove something. Generally dry grass, of course, is not a good place, Tang Qi will eliminate it at the beginning.

The temple is to be built on the mountain, so first look at the shape of the mountain, on the way Shi Changxuan came and from the map just now, he has already seen the shape of the mountain. Then look at the terrain, look at the air, and determine the place where the cave is formed.

Shi Changxuan held a compass in his hand, which looked very old. After all, his family had been Taoist priests from generation to generation. Xie Lingya guessed that this compass was also passed down by the elders.

Among the things handed down from Baoyang Temple, there is no compass. Although there is also Feng Shui-related knowledge in Baoyang Notes, it is probably not a major, and it is not so professional.

The compass is oriented vertically, Shi Changxuan is only for reference, after a few glances, he stares at the mountain to see the anger.

Xie Lingya also looked at the past and didn't see any difference, and there was no wind now, so he didn't know how to look angry.

However, after looking at it for a while, Shi Changxuan pointed to one place and said, "Did Mr. Tang see the halo? It should be the real acupoint."

Not to mention Tang Qi, everyone stretched their necks to see where he was pointing.

Tang Qi scratched his head, "Is it that place? It seems to have a faint halo... Isn't that water vapor?"

The halo was vague, and if it seemed to be absent, the shape was clear, but if Shi Changxuan hadn't pointed it out, they would have observed it carefully, and probably wouldn't have seen it.

"This is Tai Chi dizziness, a manifestation of the condensed anger." Shi Changxuan said, "It is because if there is nothing, if you see it up close, but if you see it from a distance, it is called Tai Chi dizziness."

"It means where is the temple going to be built?" Tang Qihan said, "That piece is at the top."

Shi Changxuan said: "So we have to dig out some repairs to form holes, and we need to meet the water."

Tang Qi nodded again and again. He had heard about Shi Changxuan's family's fame and Chen Sansheng's talk about Shi Changxuan's temper. Although Shi Changxuan is usually very simple when he points out Feng Shui, the result is absolutely guaranteed.

He was in a hurry, and he did everything simultaneously, so as soon as he took a photo, the design was almost done, and he just had to modify it according to what Shi Changxuan said.

Shi Changxuan explained the angle, how to face the water. Based on the impression of seeing the picture, I said some points to pay attention to, such as where the bell tower of the temple should be built, and where the main hall should not be located, so that the temple bells, burning incense, chanting and other activities will not be affected. .

Let's look at the game after looking at it, Qinglong White Tiger Xuanwu Suzaku and so on.

Although Tang Qi's hearing was probably enough, Xie Lingya was curious, and broke the casserole and asked, "Is Yingshui because you want water? Gather money?"

Shi Changxuan shook his head, "It's just one of them. The water below gathers the heart of the sky, which is already an image of gathering wealth. The reason is that it is a Buddhist temple to be built here."

Because it is a site for Buddhist temples, it is necessary to take into account their characteristics. When the flowers bloom, the Buddha realizes that there is no life. In Buddhism, the lotus flower is used to compare the practice and Buddha nature. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all sitting on the lotus platform. The lotus pattern is also very common in Buddhist temples. When Shakyamuni was born, he stood on the lotus, and he practiced lotus one step at a time.

Moreover, the eminent monk Tang Qi wanted to invite was the Master of the Pure Land Sect, and the Pure Land Sect was also known as the "Lian Sect".

The lotus needs water even more, so Shi Changxuan's designs all take into account how to borrow the water below to feed the "lotus" above.

- This kind of bureau did not exist in the past, with no name and no number. After all, Buddhist disciples themselves pay attention to Feng Shui where I am, and there are those who violate the regulations to engage in Feng Shui. As a foreign religion, they do not study Feng Shui deeply. Daomen Fengshui masters have nothing to consider about how to build Buddhist temples.

This is entirely a Feng Shui bureau designed by Shi Changxuan according to his needs.

Xie Lingya listened to him in such a detailed manner that he would have suspected that he had done Feng Shui checks for Buddhist temples long ago.

Xie Lingya admired it. He was so powerful and powerful. Even though Shi Changxuan didn't talk much, the service attitude was really good. He thought so thoroughly about Shizong's site selection that he created this "land and water for lotus flower" by himself. Bureau, as small as a clock tower, a lecture pavilion.

Although Tang Qi just came up with an idea, and very magically asked the Taoist priest to come to the person who chose the site of the Buddhist temple, but after listening to it, he couldn't help but say: "It's hard work, Daochang Shi understands Buddhism very well."

This is not only to have a good service attitude and act generously, but also to have an understanding of Buddhism.

Shi Changxuan said lightly, "My major is religious studies."

Although the main direction is Taoism, other religions are also involved.

Tang Qi was amused, "It makes sense, it makes sense."

His subordinates were also sweating wildly. I didn't expect that he was really a student, but he was a religious student. Sounds like a good match

One of them also talked to Xie Lingya: "Little Daoist, then you are also a religious major?"

"I'm in finance." Xie Lingya smiled at him, "and I'm not a Taoist priest."

The person: "… "

Tang Qi laughed: "Mr. Xiao Xie, don't be joking. Let me tell you, Mr. Xie, although Mr. Xie is not a Taoist priest, he is also a master!"

The old man laughed and said, "I just thought, Daochang Shi also brought the financial staff with him."

At this time, Tang Qi said, "I heard Mr. Gao say that Teacher Xiao Xie can also tell fortunes. Would you like to let Lao Wang see it?"

He didn't know if it was because he was bored, or if he just wanted to see Xie Lingya show a hand.

Xie Lingya has nothing to fear, "Then give me your hand."

Lao Wang stretched out his hand and said, "Are you looking at the palm print?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingya put his fingers on his wrist, and the other hand was still under it, so that his hand would not be shaken while walking.

Except for Shi Changxuan, everyone else looked at each other in dismay. Having received masters from all walks of life, I have never seen such a fortune-telling.

Lao Wang couldn't help but said: "Why does it look like... check the pulse..."

"It's really a pulse." Xie Lingya smiled.

Everyone: "… "

Tang Qidao: "It's a mistake, Mr. Xie, he means that you do the math, and it's okay to see a doctor. The whole company did the employee physical examination only last month."

"No no, this is called Taisu Pulse Method. A brother of mine taught me. It can be used to judge the good and the bad through the pulse." Xie Lingya explained.

Tang Qi: "??"

There are so many fortune-telling methods, and Tang Qi is well-informed. He has never heard of pulse fortune-telling. It sounds too mysterious, but Xie Lingya's words seem to be serious, which makes Tang Qi doubtful.

It is already autumn, and the Taisu pulse needs to be diagnosed based on time. After a period of training, Xie Lingya has made great progress in the Taisu pulse.

In this Taisu pulse method, fate is determined by the lightness of the pulse, the clearness and the heavy turbidity. Generally speaking, the lightness is rich and noble, and the heavy turbidity is poor and lowly. And look at the specifics from each part, for example, the man's liver and wood determine the fame.

Lao Wang's liver is relatively light, and there is no sense of discontinuity, but his lungs are relatively cloudy, which should be a lack of intelligence and strategy. In fact, it's easy to guess, if he is smart and resourceful, then he will be Tang Qi's leader.

Xie Lingya didn't say this. After feeling the pulse for more than a minute, he said, "The results of the physical examination last month were not bad. It's just a small problem, nothing major."

Old Wang nodded, "Yes, it's all chronic pharyngitis, trachoma and other minor problems."

However, if you understand Chinese medicine, you can see this, you don't need to take the pulse, just look at the face, and no one is surprised.

Xie Lingya said again: "But you can rest assured, your daughter—you have a daughter, right? She will go well in the college entrance examination."

Lao Wang almost slipped his feet in fright and went to see Tang Qi.

Tang Qi: "...I didn't say you have a daughter." In fact, he went to Shi Changxuan yesterday, and then met Xie Lingya, and didn't tell Xie Lingya who would be here.

The Taisu Mai is like this, not only can he find out the owner's life, but also calculate the situation of his descendants. Lao Wang himself has nothing to worry about, but the pulse of the part that symbolizes the offspring is warm and moist, but the number of breaths is a little mixed, obviously at an important juncture, and the age of this offspring is just the age of the college entrance examination.

So it is considered a seven-point look, and a three-point guess. Xie Lingya doesn't know what those people who have cultivated Taisu Mai to the extreme are like, anyway, he himself can't touch it all, or touch it so meticulously. For example, if you ask him to take his pulse to calculate whether he can eat meat for lunch tomorrow, he will definitely not be able to feel it.

Rao is like this, and Lao Wang admires it very much. He wants children relatively late. If it is guessed by his age, it is definitely impossible.

"Mr. Xie, it's amazing." Lao Wang praised.

"I've won awards and awards, I'm also a beginner." Xie Lingya told the truth.

The practice has to be done at night, so make a spell similar to the orphan sacrifice. .

The fortifications in the mountains are indeed more in need of such rituals. When the construction is over, a few talismans will be buried in the ground.

Xie Lingya first wrote down all the talismans he needed at night. If he wanted to be an ordinary Taoist priest, he would have to prepare so many talismans for at least ten days and a half months. He painted them as leisure after eating, and put them aside to dry.

—Although it was on the mountain, the meals were all delivered by the hotel in the city. After a good meal, Tang Qi enthusiastically asked them to "bath in the hot spring".

There is a hot spring underground, although it has not yet been developed, but the workers here have picked up some water, and they usually use authentic hot spring water for bathing.

Tang Qi also wanted to live on the mountain tonight. On a whim, he even had someone bring a bathtub up.

These days, the hot springs in many hot spring pools are just boiling water. The temperature on the mountain is cooler at night. Xie Lingya is quite interested.

So not long after the talisman was painted, Xie Lingya dragged Shi Changhang to the first floor, Tang Qi put the tubs on the first floor, and the second floor was just a prefab room for fear of instability.

Before going down, Shi Changxuan thought for a while, and took down Shang Lushen and put it in the room.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Shang Lu wailed and howled for a while, but Shi Changxuan had already walked away.

Tang Qi was watching people let out water, and when he saw Xie Lingya coming over with a handkerchief, he laughed and joked: "Mr. Xie is very white, is he also so white?"

"Yes, don't tan." Xie Lingya also smiled.

"..." Shi Changxuan couldn't help but remember what his broken ear reported to God, and was a little speechless.

Although Shang Lushen was not here, his sense of existence increased inexplicably, and Shi Changxuan seemed to be able to hear his thin voice shouting word by word: Xie Lingya is so white.

At this time, Lao Wang suddenly ran over, saw Tang Qi outside the window, stopped and rushed inside and said, "Mr. Tang, that, that..."

His face was strange, and there was a little panic in the depths of his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Tang Qi walked to the window and pushed open the half-opened window.

Lao Wang swallowed his saliva, glanced at Shi Changxuan behind him, and said, "I'll go get someone to gather up the bones that were dug up before, don't I have to do something about it later, and then I find that the head and skull gone."

Xie Lingya and the others knew that the bones came out of the ground, and they made an appointment at the time. After doing the ritual together, they chose a place to be buried. That's why Lao Wang went to fetch the bones. That thing was weird, so it was not placed in the prefabricated house, but in a corner of the construction site.

Tang Qi couldn't help but get goosebumps, and said with a dark face: "It's all gone? Have you looked around carefully? How did you clean up before?"

Lao Wang weakly said: "There were originally five skulls, but three of them are missing. I asked, it turned out to be packed in a basket and covered with a tarp."

"Who would steal this thing!" Tang Qi was furious and irritable.

Old Wang Han said, "Could it be that 'they' didn't want to leave, that's why..."

"Take your skull away?" Tang Qi thought it was absurd. "How is that possible! Go ask, in just two days, did any children from nearby villages come and take it."

He knows very well that children are the most timid and the most daring, and they can do anything when they get up.

"Okay..." Lao Wang had no choice but to turn around and ask again, feeling very depressed. The bones can't be found, and the ritual tonight can't be done.

At this time, the water was also put away, but Tang Qi was in no mood to take a bath. He was an impatient person. After turning around for a few times, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Xie, it's not really 'them', Don't want to go? But when we were preparing the land here, 'they' didn't show any objection."

"It's unlikely." Xie Lingya also found it odd, "As you said, if you don't want to go, there's no need to take your skull away."

"Yes, yes, I think it's still someone's fault." Tang Qi thought for a while, "No, I'm going to ask. You, you two, don't worry about it, just play it first, if there is a delay, I will also pay. "

He said and hurried out.

"Will it be okay? I gave him the talisman, and I don't think there is any evil spirit in this place." Xie Lingya said, the experience of hanging down the mine with Chang Shi last time told him that everything should not be thought of first, otherwise you are It's easy to lose face!

Shi Changxuan also felt okay. Although the bones were lifted up, the feng shui of this place was good, and it was not a mass grave before, and there would be no evil spirits if there were lonely ghosts.

"That doesn't matter, I'm still sweating when I climb the mountain during the day, so I'll soak for a while." Xie Lingya said, he was in the room just now, and there was a little water vapor on the ends of his hair, so it can be said that he was ready.

Xie Lingya took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub in two or three times, so fast that Shi Changxuan didn't even react.

There are two barrels next to them, naturally for Shi Changxuan and Tang Qi. Tang Qi went out, but Shi Changxuan didn't move for a while.

"Damn it, it's really hot, you hurry up and go in too." Xie Lingya was in tears, thinking that he couldn't be hot by himself, so he greeted Shi Changxuan.

He was lying on the side, his shoulders, back and arms were exposed, and the white skin was steamed a little red in the steam, and the trajectory of the water droplets sliding from it was so clear.

Shi Changxuan's thoughts became erratic, thinking that fortunately he hadn't brought Shang Lushen down, otherwise his throat would have broken again...

"Cough." Shi Changxuan's throat tickled, he turned to take off his clothes, and sat in the tub silently, his cheeks flushed with the heat, and he didn't look as cold as usual.

However, he usually doesn't like to talk, so Xie Lingya didn't think it was wrong.

"It's still quite comfortable, but it's a little hot right now." Xie Lingya wiped away his physiological tears and said, "After the cultivation here is completed, I'll bring people from the whole perspective to come over to soak... Hey, you said they would I wouldn't mind that there is a temple here, it should be alright, just in the same scenic spot."

Shi Changxuan was just over a meter away from him. He stared at his moist eyes for a while, and finally looked away unnaturally. He felt that the hot spring water had been soaked in, and it seemed to have been hot to the bottom of his heart, almost boiling. .

"I'm back." Tang Qi trotted in, took off his clothes and put them in his bathtub, "Oh, I'm going, it's still so hot, I'm going to burn me!"

Xie Lingya: "…"

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Tang Qi glanced at the two of them and said embarrassingly, "You young people are in good health and can stand it."

Xie Lingya didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Everyone has different heat resistance capabilities..."

It's too embarrassing to talk about this topic with unfamiliar people, Tang Qi doesn't see it, but Xie Lingya can't go on.

As soon as Shi Changxuan saw Tang Qi, he completely woke up from the somewhat charming atmosphere, and said indifferently, "How is it?"

"Oh, it seems that there are children from the nearby mountain villages coming to play. I asked people to go to the village to ask, and they have to come back." Tang Qi hated the feeling that this kind of plan was disrupted, and was unhappy.

Because it was relatively hot, he also put his face close to the wide open window. Anyway, they were all men, and there were no lesbians on the construction site.

Xie Lingya nodded, "Then it's best to come back tonight, don't delay the practice."

"That's what I think, otherwise I'll have to wait." Tang Qi shook his head, "Hey, it's really not as good as the sky."

Tang Qi pouted and stared outside.

"Their children are too bold, they are comparable to when I was a child." Xie Lingya couldn't help sighing.

Shi Changxuan: "..."

Tang Qi didn't speak.

Xie Lingya asked again: "Hey, Mr. Tang, do you want water?" He put the mineral water aside, he planned to take a bottle, and asked casually.

Tang Qi still didn't speak.

Xie Lingya felt that something was wrong. He was next to Tang Qi. At first glance, Tang Qi's eyes seemed to freeze, and he was sitting in the hot hot spring water, his face was pale and his teeth were gritted.

"Mr. Tang??" Xie Lingya put on the bath towel and stood up.

Tang Qi didn't dare to twist his head, his breathing slowed down, his lips slightly opened and closed, and he whispered with trembling: "You, come and see, is that the one..."

that? There may not be ghosts? Xie Lingya stepped out of the tub and walked to the window to take a look.

The back of the prefab house is overgrown with trees, and the terrain is high, forming a low cliff. The moonlight shone all over the world, and Xie Lingya saw a strange scene among the grass and trees on the low cliff.

Three khaki wild foxes squatted on the stone, with their front paws on their chests, all facing the direction of the moon, as if they were praying. The curved pieces are like wearing a hat.

Although there is a certain distance, but looking at the shape and size, it is clear that they are the few skulls they have been looking for for a long time.

Deep mountains, wild foxes, white bones.

In the darkness of the night, this scene is simply eerie and eerie.

Xie Lingya stood beside Tang Qi and could clearly hear the sound of his back molars fighting up and down.
