Dharma seal is an important religious object of Taoism. There are many types and each has its own effect. For example, the seal of the army is used to drive ghosts and soldiers, and the seal of employment represents the priestly position of Taoist priests.
Ordinary people may think that the sword is the most representative of Taoist instruments, but in fact, in the eyes of experts, the seal is more important. For example, the main seal of the Taiqing sect can be used to invite gods, play a watch, or stamp it on a talisman that requires Laojun's help.
And some handed down ancient seals have even more origins.
As Zhang Daoling used it and passed it on to future generations, the Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal was named because Wudou Mi Dao established twenty-four governance, that is, twenty-four mission points. The master leads himself.
Therefore, this Yangping Governing Capital Seal is not only a powerful magic weapon, but also a treasure of the altar, and a symbol of the status of a Celestial Master.
- It is also an ancient cultural relic, which was originally well preserved in the museum.
Xie Lingya really didn't know who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and dared to steal something with several meanings. Have you thought about the consequences before stealing? What we have to face is not only the sanction of national laws, but also the anger of the righteous Taoist priest!
"I'm afraid this person was prepared long ago and is not afraid of casting a spell." Shi Changxuan replied following him, "Originally, there were talismans in the exhibition hall where Yangping ruled the capital, but the spell was broken. Provincial Road Association I quickly checked the scene and found that this Yang Ping rule of the capital should have been stolen by someone from the Taoist sect, and the cultivation base is so deep that it cannot be traced for a while."
"My own person?" Xie Lingya was surprised and thought, no wonder this person dared to steal all the merits, it turned out to be an expert, and the art master was bold, "Is there any clues now?"
People are not everywhere, but ghosts and gods are everywhere. Taoist priests can communicate with ghosts and gods, but the Provincial Road Association has not found out the identity of this person. It can be seen that he is superior and managed to hide his identity and deeds.
Shi Changxuan thought about it: "It can only be speculated that the inheritance of the Dharma line may be the Shenxiao School."
The Shenxiao School is the predecessor of Zhengyi, one of the sects of Tianshidao. The main practice is Lei Fa, and its founder is Wang Wenqing. There is nothing wrong with saying that it is closely related to Zhengyi, it is originally from Zhengyi.
However, there are still many factions under the Shenxiao faction. This clue is still too general, and I don't know which line to trace.
There is still a chance that it is only judged by the technique used by the thief, so it is said "maybe", because he is not necessarily from the Shenxiao faction.
Even speaking, Baoyangguan can also be related to the Shenxiao faction.
Sa Shoujian Sazu was instructed by Wang Wenqing, Lin Lingsu and others from Shenxiao to teach Lei Fa. Then, the Sazu French descended gradually into the Sazu School, the Xihe School, and the Tianshan School.
Sazu accepted Wang Lingguan as his disciple, and Baoyang Temple took Wang Lingguan as his patriarch, so there was a relationship of twists and turns.
The relationship within the Taoist sect is intricate and complicated, and it is really difficult to determine the identity of this person just by knowing that this person can use the spells of the Shenxiao School.
"There are so many experts in the Provincial Road Association, including the contemporary Celestial Master's family. It's hard to find anyone with so many experts." Xie Lingya said incredulously, "Then this person must have a high level of cultivation. No guesswork?"
"Huaxia is so vast." Shi Changxuan only explained this, and it makes sense. In addition to the Taoist Association, there are also some folk masters. "And this person came well prepared, leaving almost no traces."
This person has a high level of cultivation, and he has the will to deal with the unintentional, no wonder. Even the mages in the provincial capital couldn't find it, not to mention Xie Lingya didn't know much about the faction distribution.
Xie Lingya thought to himself, but it is impossible for this person who stole it to never show any traces. Sooner or later, he will be found.
Shi Changxuan's family is also in the same lineage, and it is in the provincial capital, so he is informed of the news.
"In two days, it should be made public." Shi Changxuan said.
Yang Pingzhi's contribution to India is too important, and it is even more historically significant. No matter the country or the Zhengyi faction, they must try their best to recover it.
The next day, Shi Changxuan went to the provincial capital, and he had to go home.
…
Two days later, the Taoist Association of Jiyang City really held a meeting to talk about this matter.
Of course, this was an unrecorded private meeting. Chen Sansheng summoned all the experts and announced an even more explosive news.
—On the second night of the theft of the Yangping Governing Capital Seal, the Three or Five Swords of Evil Slayers also vanished!
Before Zhang Tianshi ascended to heaven, he handed down the Three Treasures, one sword, one imprint and one nail, and the nails were burnt to invite Zhang Tianshi to come into the world, and his whereabouts have disappeared. All these merit seals were just stolen from the museum, and the remaining three or five swords of slaying evil and male and female were originally kept privately by the descendants of the Celestial Master, and they were also lost.
Three or five Zhan Xie is known as the first magic sword of Taoism. It has runes and images of stars and sun and moon.
It was the two swords, male and female, that were stolen from Yudu Gongyin on the second day, and were also stolen from two places at the same time.
Today, the Chinese Taoist sect is dominated by Zhengyi and Quanzhen. The treasure of Zhengyi Patriarch was stolen. This news can be said to have shocked the entire Taoist sect.
Why did this person steal the Du Gong Yin and the Three-Five Slaying Evil Sword? How did you steal it? What was he stealing for? Buying and selling cultural relics, or for personal use? And what is this person's real identity
As soon as Chen Sansheng finished speaking, the scene was buzzing, and everyone had infinite sighs and questions.
Xie Lingya was a bit better than others because he had gotten the wind before, but he didn't know that the Three-Five Evil Swords were also lost, and Shi Changxuan never came back.
"The thief who stole is undoubtedly a cultivator. Now let everyone know the news, that is, the Taoist Association. I hope you will pay more attention. If you have relevant clues, you are welcome to call and report. If the clues are true, they can lead to the country. , Dao Association, and the Celestial Master Family, the total amount of bonuses is over one million." Chen Sansheng said seriously, "So, I also hope that everyone will do things after they go back..."
Xie Lingya couldn't help sitting up straight when he heard that the reported bonus was over one million, and when he heard what happened next, he became even more excited.
Come, come, call the Taoist priests all over the world together to curse those who steal things
As a result, Chen Sansheng said: "... inform the ancestors of this sect, the gods such as the city god, and pray for this."
Not a curse. Xie Lingya was slightly disappointed, but when he thought about it, he didn't have any clues, so he might not be able to curse.
Asking everyone to go back and report to the gods is actually a way of collecting clues. Isn’t it normal for Taoists to turn to ghosts and gods for help
When the priests heard it, they discussed it again.
Chen Sansheng also printed out the pictures of the Three-Five Slaying Evil Sword and Du Gongyin (including the printed seal) and distributed them to everyone.
When the two treasures are lost, no one can feel ashamed, and they are afraid that someone who wants to take advantage of it will quickly disclose it and collect clues.
Xie Lingya looked at it and put away the picture. Although China is vast and the sea of people is vast, the chance of hitting it is very small, but at any rate Tuyang is not far from the provincial capital and the Tianshi Temple, so what if there is a chance
Even if you provide a clue, there are already a million. Xie Lingya is in a time of lack of money. In addition to sympathizing with the museum and the Tianshi family, he is also a little coveted.
After Xie Lingya went back, he saw Shi Changxuan also coming back.
"Mr. Shi, we held a meeting just now to openly solicit clues about Du Gong Yin and Three or Five Evil Swords." Xie Lingya said, "Do you have any inside information?"
Shi Changxuan said solemnly: "When I went back, all the mages gathered in the provincial capital to discuss the matter of tracing the Du Gong Yin, but after trying various methods, I could not detect the identity of the thief. And that night, three or five slaying evil spirits. The sword was also stolen, and there are not too many traces. Even this time, this person used Du Gong Yin to deal with the ghosts and gods guarding the Zhan Xie Sword."
Like Du Gongyin, there must be a talisman next to the Three-Five Slaying Evil Sword, but this person has Du Gongyin, and it is probably easier to break the law.
So the mages of the Provincial Road Association went to the Tianshi Hall to check, and the result was already known, but there was only one broad clue. This person may be a descendant of the Shenxiao faction.
Shi Changxuan didn't give details, but Xie Lingya knew that the most typical and most famous of the Shenxiao sect was Lei Fa, and that person might have used the thunder talisman to be determined to be the descendant of the Shenxiao sect.
But it is still the same sentence, the relationship between Taoism and sect is intricate and complicated. Some thunder methods of Shenxiao sect still worship Sazu as the main method, and there are also thunder methods passed down from Baoyang Temple.
"I hope to recover the cultural relics and magic treasures as soon as possible." Xie Lingya thought, it is best to let him also contribute to earn more than one million!
Not to mention the matter of being far away from the provincial capital, in his spare time, Fang Zhe really made Shang Lushen's small bed, made of willow wood, and it was an ancient canopy bed.
Although it is small in size, it is complete with columns, dust-bearing and decorative patterns. It is painted reddish-brown and dried in the sun. It is completely a miniature version of adult bedding, and it is extremely exquisite. Xie Lingya put the canopy bed on the table and admired it, but thought it was simply art.
It was also the first time Xie Lingya saw Fang Ze's craftsmanship in real objects. Before, he had only seen pictures of Fang Ze's work on some furniture. He never thought that such a small object could be made so finely.
"As expected of the successor of "Luban Book", I think you should have chosen to open a furniture store when you started your business."
FangZhe hung up his own tailor-made tent for the small bed, and said, "I have also worked in a furniture store, the kind that comes with custom-made ones. But what I know is the old-fashioned style taught in books, and people come to customize the bed. Either you want the simplest modern style, or let me design it, but I am always dissatisfied, and I always want to change it, and I am broken. Moreover, I am not good at doing heavy work for a long time, and then I quit my job.”
"Designing is a pain in the ass." Xie Lingya nodded and asked Shi Changxuan to put Shang Lushen on it. He had already put the mattress on.
Shi Changxuan placed Shang Lushen on the canopy bed. Shang Lushen burst into tears when they made the bed. Fortunately, Shang Lushen couldn't really cry or move, otherwise Shi Changxuan would be unimaginable.
"Aren't you still talking?" Xie Lingya lay on the table, approached Shang Lushen and asked with a smile.
Every time he got close to Shang Lushen, Shang Lushen shut up, except that time when he joked about losing Shang Lushen, Shang Lushen sang a few songs, usually Shi Changxuan came to recite.
Shang Lushen held back for a while, then shyly said, "... chirp."
Shi Changxuan stood aside and couldn't hear what Shang Lushen said. He only saw Xie Lingya laugh after listening to it for a while, and then said to Shang Lushen, "Mah ah."
Shi Changxuan: "..."
He should have guessed, what else Shang Lushen could say.
Zhang Daoting came back from outside with fruit in his hand and an admission ticket. When he saw the bed, he said "hey", "This little guy lives better than us."
Xie Lingya took the admission ticket from him and said thank you. He asked Zhang Daoting to help him to print it at the print shop. It will be the first postgraduate exam in December. He took the exam for the second time this year. Last year I didn't pass the test with some bad marks.
Now there are also three Taoist priests in Baoyang Temple, which can maintain the basic operation. Xie Lingya's going to class does not have a big impact. Whether it is drawing talismans, picking up jobs, or finding apprentices, he can use his spare time. And Father Xie kept calling to remind him, for fear that he would not take the exam.
"Mr. Xie, do you know why you are so good at Taoism, didn't you pass the entrance exam last time?" Hai Guanchao asked.
Hai Guanchao had already mentioned this matter, and he always remembered that Xie Lingya's alchemy skills were absorbed like a sponge, so failing in the postgraduate entrance examination could help him balance a little, and this time he brought it up again.
Xie Lingya hummed, "A ruler is shorter, an inch is longer."
"No, that means you're useless and right." Hai Guanchao said, "You have to make a method for yourself before you take the test, if you don't pass the test early. Don't say you can't, no, you can't take ten minutes. Do you want to learn?"
Xie Lingya: "..."
Xie Lingya pondered: "Is this cheating? Forget it, I have given incense to Emperor Wenchang, and it's okay to do a divination."
Although he hasn't done the math yet, he can do it himself or ask others to do the math.
Shi Changxuan said at this time: "Shang Lushen predicted that there will be no surprises."
"Is there any danger? It seems to be crossing the line at a low altitude." Xie Lingya touched Shang Lushen, "It's really good, if you can pass it."
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the exam period, and the exam room assigned by Xie Lingya was set up in the No.
Father Xie called one day in advance and told Xie Lingya about the precautions for the exam and let him go to the exam room earlier. Xie Lingya reluctantly said, I have taken the test for the second time, so I don't know.
However, he still followed Father Xie's instructions and went to the examination room earlier.
Xie Lingya ate breakfast near the school, then found a flower bed and sat down to wait for admission. After a while, I went to the next building to find a toilet, and I solved it before preparing for the exam.
On weekends, the school is also used as an examination room, and there are basically no high school students in sight. Xie Lingya swayed on the first floor and followed the sign to the toilet.
Because Xie Lingya was still early, and there was no one in the toilet, he went in and saw a few bloody words on the mirror. When he read it carefully, it was "death to the one who sees it" in traditional Chinese.
"??" Xie Lingya leaned over and took a closer look. That's right, it was blood, not red paint.
Xie Lingya went to the toilet first, and went out to wash his hands while continuing to look at the crooked word "death".
Queshan Province has many mountains, and many buildings in Jiyang City are built on the mountain. The No. 1 Middle School in Jiyang City is also backed by the mountain, which makes the school quite humid, especially in places such as the first floor and toilets, where the yin atmosphere is relatively high. Heavy.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps and conversations could be heard outside, Xie Lingya quickly took a picture, and then picked up the rag beside him and wiped away the blood. When the people came in, he just wiped clean, and then washed his hands as if nothing had happened.
The word looks like a curse, and it's extremely unreasonable - why, just because I go to the bathroom early, and seeing this word, do I have to die? !
Xie Lingya thought to himself, what Shang Lushen said about the chance of life would not have anything to do with the score, but this was what he meant.
Damn, no, no one can stop me from taking the postgraduate entrance exam!
At this time, Xie Lingya saw two people with invigilator badges walking this way, everyone just passed by, Xie Lingya didn't pay much attention.
The two invigilators whispered:
"It's really there, go and have a look. There was something knocking on the door of my compartment last night. If my wife hadn't given me a talisman, I might have explained it there. I told the director that the director didn't let me take a leave of absence…”
"Uh, then just don't go to the toilet in the future, don't think about it so much."
Xie Lingya called Zhang Daoting while walking out.
At this time, the two invigilators in the toilet were also wondering:
"Really, there really were words here last night, I saw it."
"Well, you might actually be hallucinating..."
"No, no, no, did the cleaner wipe it off!"
"The cleaners aren't working now."
"That's what someone else wiped, absolutely, I really saw it."
…
Xie Lingya entered the exam room, and when the exam paper was handed out, he scanned the question types. He was overjoyed. At a glance, he found that he had come across a few similar questions when he was reviewing.
After all, he is a person who has reviewed for two years. After Xie Lingya passed the test, he didn't even feel a smile on his face and felt good about himself.
However, Xie Lingya did not go back immediately, but picked up something from the small shop next to the school, which he asked Zhang Daoting to send and deposited in the small shop, which contained magic weapons.
Xie Lingya took a bag and ate near the school, and then returned to the school. He was not allowed to enter and leave the exam room at will, but he could stay in other places.
Xie Lingya sat in a random corner, played with his phone for a while, and when night fell, he walked to the building in the morning.
Unlike usual, there may be people studying at night, but the building was empty at this time.
Xie Lingya carried his bag into the toilet, turned on the light, and no one was inside. He opened a compartment and went in to use the toilet.
"Bah."
The bulb beeps lightly, then the light starts blinking.
Xie Lingya sent a text message to Zhang Daoting, telling him that he didn't have the key, so don't close the door.
Snapped.
The toilet was completely plunged into darkness.
The compartment door seemed to be tapped by something, as if someone were knocking on the door.
However, when Xie Lingya turned on the light of his mobile phone, and took a look at the gap under the compartment door, there were no feet and nothing.
Xie Lingya knew what to do, raised his pants, and took out cinnabar from his bag.
Because of Xie Lingya's silence, the arrogance outside seemed to be even more arrogant.
The sound of knocking on the door became more and more urgent, echoed in the dark toilet, and even spread to the long corridor outside, urging people's heartbeats to be faster and synchronously.
Bang, bang, bang!
By the end, even knocking on the door, the humble door lock creaked.
Xie Lingya didn't lift his head, quickly drew the spirit officer's eyes, and after putting the bag on his back, he suddenly pulled the latch to open the door.
A chubby, short, fat thing suddenly crashed in. It was only half a person tall, with red eyes, drooling mouth, and a rope in its hand.
Xie Lingya's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he stepped on the back of this thing, and pressed the peach wood sword against its neck.
"..." This femininity was caught off guard, and the two red eyes stared at the boss, not daring to move in the face of the threat of the Taomu sword.
Xie Lingya grabbed him and threw it to the ground. It collapsed to the ground and ran to the corner. Xie Lingya caught up and stepped on it several times, and said in surprise, "What the hell, it's so ugly."
The first time I saw him, I felt it, but the conditioned reflex restrained the other party first, and then had time to feel emotion.
It is said that the person who sees it will die, and the tone is so loud, why is it ugly and cowardly
Xie Lingya thought for a long time before pondering, this might be a toilet ghost. Because the filth in the toilet is heavy, some ghosts will be born, and they will sneak up on people when they go to the toilet, and take the opportunity to scare people.
- How abominable, fortunately, Xie Lingya was well prepared. Ordinary people were frightened when they went to the toilet, and they would pee all over!
Over time, toilet ghosts may become proficient in harming people, and they can strangle people's necks with trouser belts. Moreover, the shape of the toilet ghosts is different, and it is impossible to identify them quickly. The only feature of their appearance is that they are all very ugly.
This toilet ghost was squeaked by Xie Lingya, and finally realized that he might not be able to escape, so he lay on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, Master, I just want to scare you, let me go!"
Xie Lingya stepped on him again and said angrily, "Fuck you, don't you want me to die? You're still writing on the mirror to scare me!"
The toilet ghost turned over, his fat and short limbs turned up, and cried, "I don't have it, I don't have it!"
"I wiped it off with my own hands, the bloody words." Xie Lingya picked it up and threw it again, "You're done, I'm going to postgraduate entrance examination in the past two days. My dad said that I need to calm down. You're still scaring me."
The toilet ghost hugged his head and cried and said, "No, Master, I wrote it last night to scare another person! I really didn't write it for you!"
It's crazy to frighten this person, it's the one who is frightened enough! As soon as you open the door, you will be beaten without a word!
Xie Lingya: "...?"
Xie Lingya stepped on it and didn't move, and began to ponder. The bloodstain in the morning seemed to have solidified a little...
The toilet ghost slowly made his way out from under his feet.
Xie Lingya stepped on it and didn't let it move, and resolutely refused to admit that he was being self-indulgent, and said coldly: "It's even worse if it hurts my invigilator. What happened to the test room and the crime scene? How do I take the test? I??"
Toilet Ghost: "… "
