Xie Lingya didn't know that his image in the eyes of others had changed a little. He was concentrating on Zhang Daoting's ritual.
Zhang Daoting wore a robe and tapped the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands, and feet of the statue with a needle, and then tapped cinnabar on the five senses with a brush, which meant enlightenment and spirituality.
The believers were all kneeling on the worship benches on both sides, because the side hall was relatively small, and the outside was full of people, including believers and onlookers.
The last consecration ceremony was held by Xie Lingya himself, but this time it was bigger, so there were a lot of smaller statues on the offering table.
There is no legal distribution office in Baoyang Temple, but based on the requirements of many believers, this time, some small statues of gods customized by local factories were placed in the consecration ceremony. When the consecration ceremony was contaminated with spiritual energy, they could become attached to the believers.
"After the consecration, the gods will not respond. Let me ask, is the world bright?" Zhang Daoting said loudly.
Liu Bohe and others also performed the ritual together in the hall. At this time, Xie Lingya followed them in a low voice and read out: "The world is bright, and the divine light is shining."
A shout made the hearts of the believers clear, and they watched Zhang Daoting's next ceremony more intently.
After the consecration ceremony was over, everyone moved the little god statue on the offering table into the room, and Cheng Jie and his wife came over to say goodbye.
In fact, they also discussed just now whether or not to go back with a god statue, but after thinking about it, forget it.
Although the true gods are different from the evil gods, the one-legged five-way connection really scared them a lot last time, and they were usually busy with work, and they were afraid that they would not be able to guarantee the fragrant offerings, but instead neglected the gods.
"Are you gone?" Xie Lingya greeted them, "See you next time."
"Well, haha, see you next time..." Cheng Jie said, and couldn't help but gossip, "You and Daochang Shi... are good?"
Fan Fang rolled her eyes, which wasn't obvious. She told Cheng Jie just now that they didn't know if they wanted to make it public. They saw it, but don't shout. This Cheng Jie is good, and he is also gossiping.
"Ah?" Xie Lingya didn't know why, "Okay..."
Did he and Shi Changxuan look like they had a fight
At this time, Xiaoli came over with the express box, "Mr. Xie, this is Daochang Shi's express, can I put it in your room?"
"Well, let's go." Xie Lingya responded.
Cheng Jie's eyes widened suddenly, "You two live together?"
"Yeah, Taoist temples are too poor, hahahaha." Xie Lingya was still joking, the current Baoyang Temple may be much worse than many Taoist temples, but I really can't say that it is poor, but the accommodation conditions are not very good. Is it improving.
Cheng Jie and Fan Fang: "..."
Xie Lingya shut up dryly without laughing a few times. The two of them didn't laugh either, which made him very embarrassed.
Cheng Jie gave Xie Lingya a meaningful look and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, buddy."
Xie Lingya said carelessly, "Thank you, I will."
He will definitely work hard to make Baoyangguan bigger and bigger!
…
Two days later, the Municipal Taoist Association notified Taiheguan for a meeting. Originally, Xie Lingya wanted to ask Zhang Daoting to go, but there was a special notice to let him go there. There was no way, Xie Lingya had to go out. He was unwilling to go to the meeting by himself, dragging Shi Changxuan along.
Anyway, now Shi Changxuan has worshipped Wang Yuji as Mr. Wang Yuji, and is truly a person who holds the view of Yang.
Hai Guanchao watched them go out, and greeted them with a smile: "When you come back, help Master to buy some toothpaste, I want mint flavor."
Xie Lingya: "…"
Shi Changxuan: "..."
... To say that there is something wrong with Shi Changxuan's worship of Wang Yuji, it should be that Hai Guanchao finally got the chance to divide the elders.
Xie Lingya also tried to argue that Shi Changxuan didn't learn Taisu Mai, but Hai Guanchao had already recognized this identity in his own words, and said, "Because of the relationship between you and Shi Changxuan, you must not be called together. Is it my master?"
"Go, go, no one recognizes you!" Xie Lingya wanted to say this, and everyone who was the same generation as Shi Changxuan fell into the trap, he said as he walked out, "I'll see that you will see Chang Shi next time. Xuan's parents, do you dare to let them call you Uncle Shi?"
Haiguanchao: "..."
Hai Guanchao looked at his back and murmured, the sponge essence really refused to admit defeat!
When he arrived at Taihe Temple, Xie Lingya saw many other Taoist priests who came to the conference. The scale of the conference was quite large, and the Taoist priests from the palaces and temples of the counties below all came.
"Xiao Xie, we meet again." This is the Taoist priest who warmly greeted Xie Lingya. It was obviously not the first time Xie Lingya came to the meeting, but everyone was very enthusiastic this time, and Xie Lingya became the center of the crowd.
Thinking about it, it might be because of the recovery of Du Gong Yin, which made the entire Taoist community in Tuyang feel light on their faces.
"Xiao Xie, come back to our view and exchange ideas about Taoism."
"Hey, come and sit with us first. Recently, we invited a famous master from our school to teach the scriptures."
Xie Lingya has been busy with the expansion of Baoyang Temple recently, so he doesn't have the mood to communicate. After he finished his prevarication, he felt that something was wrong, so he whispered to Shi Changxuan, "Why do I think it's weird, it's all here to nurture me."
There was a smile in Shi Changxuan's eyes. That's right. These are all hints received from top to bottom. These Taoist priests are all trying to convert Xie Lingya to nurture.
At the beginning of the meeting, the vice president of the Taoist Association, Shi Daochang, held a document and said: "Dear fellow Taoists, since the rapid development of new media such as the Internet, it has provided us with a larger platform for the spread of Taoist culture. The theme this time is how to make better use of the Internet to carry out work and promote the creation of harmonious temples."
Xie Lingya: "…"
He found that he still didn't know much about this industry, and even the Harmony Temple came out.
However, he does know that in larger urban temples, there are dedicated new media managers, and larger ceremonies will be broadcast live on mobile phones.
Jiyang is relatively small, so it does not have such a high awareness of publicity. Now it looks like it's going to encourage everyone.
Sure enough, what Shi Daochang said next was to advocate everyone to cultivate social platform accounts, use the Internet to listen to the voices of believers, and spread ancient culture.
There are also some modern facilities, such as scanning the QR code to listen to the explanations of the temples, but also to all Taoist temples. Previously, it was only available in the Taihe Temple, which is a scenic spot. Now it is necessary to uniformly write and record.
Xie Lingya thought to himself, this can be done, he also made up a story for the book published by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, which is just right for use.
"In this regard, Baoyangguan has done better." Suddenly, Shi Daochang mentioned Baoyangguan.
Xie Lingya looked up and heard Daoist Shi say, "I heard that Daoting Zhang Daoting, who holds Yangguan, is quite famous in our local forum."
Xie Lingya smirked: "... That's right."
Isn't that right, she is simply the number one internet celebrity model in Jiyang!
Not to mention, this guy was so immersed in his eyes and ears, that day Xie Lingya asked him to take a picture of the appearance of the Baoyang Temple. He also knew what lighting to adjust and what composition to adjust.
The Taoist Association had a public account for a long time, and this time everyone will build it. They will create a WeChat matrix to connect the entire temple of Diyang.
Xie Lingya wrote down all the things that needed to be done. After returning, he first found the electronic version of the last manuscript, and wrote some serious introductions, such as the construction history of Baoyang Temple and the stories of cultural relics.
Then there was the matter of working on the media account. After thinking about it, he went to contact his uncle on purpose.
The entire "Baoyang Notes" is actually divided into two parts, one is Taoism, and the other is the annotation and understanding of those Taoist classics. They want to be able to sort out the latter and pick some and put them online.
Xie Lingya asked Taoist priests from other temples after the meeting, and they all said that after opening, it is enough to reprint some content every two days.
- Holding a meeting is one thing, and doing it is another. Many temples don't have the time and energy to make an online account. They are not a Taoist concept, and they don't have that much promotion money.
Xie Lingya felt that since he had done it, he should use more dim sum.
Just like the last time I asked him "Jian'er" in a small amount, it was actually a misinformation. There are many such examples in "Notes on Holding Yang", such as "Flying Corpse and Fierce" that Xie Lingya first dealt with, and some people don't understand Cong Chenze The alchemy of the sun interprets the ghosts as "flying corpses and walking monsters".
Taoism had an influence on many ancient cultures, such as the seals they used. There are so many kinds of Taoist seals. Xie Lingya's seal of the City God's Department was unearthed in the past. Experts saw it because they didn't understand Taoist traditions and thought it was an ancient official seal. The seal of "Tao Jing Shi Bao" is also misunderstood as "Dao Tradition Magic Treasure". In fact, the Tao Jing Shi is the Three Treasures of Taoism.
It's just a misunderstanding by outsiders, and some knowledge, even experts have misunderstood because of incomplete textual research.
Wang Yuji has no opinion. He knows nothing about the Internet, but he also thinks it is a good thing to share reading notes. In the past, the information was underdeveloped, and the communication with fellow practitioners was limited. He knew and discovered some knowledge, but he couldn't tell too many people.
"That's it, I'm going to build a Weibo and WeChat account for us in Baoyangguan, and usually organize some of this content and put it out." Xie Lingya said.
Zhang Daoting took it seriously, "It is also a virtue to be able to correct mistakes and clear up doubts for everyone."
Haiguanchao said: "I just said that Baoyangguan has the funds and manpower to manage the official account. The Taoist Association said it lightly. You are quite good. You are ready to share some reading notes. It doesn't take much effort. How can it be so simple to explain Taoist culture in a popular and interesting way and attract interested netizens..."
"No, no, I'm not only going to put reading notes, but also some attractive things." Xie Lingya said.
Hai Guanchao said humorously, "Are you going to repost the cold joke?"
Xie Lingya raised his mobile phone: "I joined Tu Yang's photography hobby group, and I plan to post Zhang Daoting's daily photos often in the future, so that everyone can vividly understand the life of a Taoist priest in the form of pictures and texts."
Zhang Daoting: "..."
…
Xie Lingya created the official account. In addition to the reading notes, the first issue did put a lot of photos of Zhang Daoting, all of which were provided by Diyang's photography enthusiasts, and the pictures were edited.
Because they often come to Baoyangguan to take pictures of Zhang Daoting, they never have to pay model fees, so they also authorize Baoyangguan public account to use pictures for free, just mark the author.
Of course, some notes should be added below the photo to explain what the Taoist priest is doing. Finally, there are some Taoist environment pictures, tourists drinking tea pictures and so on. After it was sent out, those photography enthusiasts took the initiative to help.
About a day after Xie Lingya shared it in his circle of friends, he found that the number of clicks had risen to several thousand. He thought it was very strange. Even if those photography enthusiasts turned around, there would not be so many clicks.
- This content is not particularly novel, could it be that Zhang Daoting's face fans are flocking here? So fast
Xie Lingya checked the distribution of readers in the background, and found that there were many IPs from a certain place. When he looked at the newly increased followers, many names and avatars were related to Taoism, or simply a Taoist priest.
Xie Lingya reacted at once, that place is where Zhang Tianshi's house is!
Later, Xie Lingya asked Daochang Zhao of the Provincial Road Association, and it turned out that the descendants of Tianshi saw the circle of friends he shared from Daochang Zhao, and also helped to forward it. After all, Xie Lingya helped retrieve a sword and a seal before.
The influence of the Tianshi family is not comparable to that of holding Yangguan. It is no wonder that thousands of hits have risen overnight. I heard that it is still spread among the peers. Of course, it is not because of Zhang Daoting's photo, but because of the reading notes. rather attractive.
They are very active in forwarding, confirming with what they have learned, or calling on fellow believers to come and see the dry goods.
This feedback showed that this matter was indeed meaningful, and Xie Lingya continued to organize his notes.
The power of the Internet is powerful. Xie Lingya wrote the names of his uncles and ancestors in the author's column. People who knew their names at a time were much more than word of mouth in the past. Baoyangguan's reputation in the industry is also known. The child grew up. In the past, it was a pearl covered with dust, but now I have a chance, and it will shine without a second.
In addition, Xie Lingya also asked Zhao Daochang to push the business card and added the descendants of Tianshi. This generation of Zhang Tianshi is only middle-aged, and WeChat is quite smooth.
Xie Lingya and Zhang Tianshi thanked him. If it wasn't for him to help turn it around, the spread would not have spread so quickly.
The Celestial Master also politely said a few words, and then said very sincerely: [Xiao Xie, are you considering becoming a monk?]
Xie Lingya: "…"
Contemporary Celestial Masters come to sell Amway, he is a little drunk...
Celestial Master: [The thirtieth generation Celestial Master Jingxu Zhenjun said that the seal must be the seal of the heart, and the law is the heart. According to legend, Fu Youyuan was passed down by Xinyin, but today people do not know the mystery of Yinmu. When you are young, you can understand that it is very valuable to be based on Tao. Do you want to come to my house to study?]
Xie Lingya Khan said: […Thank you, I’m really honored, but I still can’t, I will start school in the second half of the year.]
Tianshi: [Okay, I have an idea later on WeChat [smile].]
Xie Lingya: [clasping a fist] [clasping a fist] [clasping a fist]
Xie Lingya wiped away his sweat. He was really excited just now, but it was because he was surprised that all the Celestial Masters came to invite him, but he didn't waver.
It is said that Tianshi said "my home" lightly. Isn't his home the ancestral home of Longhu Mountain in Zhengyi? To go to his house, you have to buy tickets without a Taoist certificate...
Xie Lingya doesn't need to review now. In addition to staring at the expansion, he just organizes his notes and manages the official account.
That day, Shi Changxuan told him that he was going to go out for two or three days, and contacted him to visit the corpse ritual in the county seat of the neighboring city. This was his homework. Huang Jinyang didn't go. It was said that he had other assignments. He went further and went to another province.
Xiaoliang was helping Xie Lingya sort out together. After hearing it, he asked curiously, "What is a corpse sacrifice? It sounds a bit weird."
"The corpse sacrifice is a kind of ancestor worship ritual, which existed as far back as the pre-Qin Dynasty. The corpse is not a corpse, but a witch. It is a living person who was sacrificed in place of ancestors." Shi Changxuan explained.
That is to let the ancestors descend on the body of the corpse and enjoy the worship in person.
Xie Lingya has also vaguely heard of this method, "Do you want to wear a ghost head?"
Shi Changxuan nodded.
The mage in the corpse sacrifice will wear a ghost head mask, which symbolizes the ancestors. They sit in the hall, and their descendants will kneel and worship below. In addition to inviting ancestors of all generations, there are also gods such as the land to be present.
"This, that's fine too? Can you really invite me?" This kind of folk magic sounds very primitive. After listening to a small amount of it, it's scary, but at the same time, I'm very interested and want to see it.
Xie Lingya shook his head, "I don't know that, but it should be true."
Xiaoliang said weakly, "Teacher Xie, can we also see it?"
Xie Lingya said, "What are you looking at? Look back at Daochang Shi's homework. That place is in a neighboring city."
Hai Guanchao said from the side: "You are a bit unkind. Usually when you go up the mountain and hold a meeting, let your disciples accompany you. When he does a homework, you can't accompany him?"
Xie Lingya: "..."
Shi Changxuan: "..."
Xie Lingya was stunned, "Are you talking about letting me go now? I'm persuading a small amount not to go!"
Hai Guanchao also refused to admit defeat: "Then why don't you accompany you, Xiao Shi goes alone for two or three days, is he lonely?"
Shi Changxuan: "..."
He wanted to say something and shut up again. Since he worshipped Wang Yuji, he has changed from Daochang Shi to Xiao Shi in Haiguanchao's mouth.
Xiaoli continued weakly: "Why don't Teacher Xie take me and accompany Daoist Master Shi?"
Xie Lingya took a look at Shi Changxuan, feeling rather embarrassed. Although Hai Guanchao is a mess, but what he said is not unreasonable. In the past, he always took Shi Changxuan to accompany him. .
Anyway, it’s only two or three days. The official account has been edited long ago and can be sent on a mobile phone. Xie Lingya only thought about it for a while, and then said, "Well, let's go!"
…
Before leaving, Zhang Daoting helped a small amount of luggage in the yard, fearing that it would be inconvenient for him to be confused and not bring them all out.
At this moment, Xie Lingya still had a procedure to complete, and asked them to wait for him, and then come back after finishing, Shi Changxuan also sat in the backyard and waited.
Xiaoliang was very happy and whispered: "Zhang Daochang, you said, Teacher Xie promised to take me, do you think there is still hope for me?"
"Don't expect too much, I think he was just run by Brother Hai." Zhang Daoting glanced at him.
This is not to visit other Taoist temples, if it is to visit other Taoist temples, it is similar, but this is just to accompany Shi Changxuan to do homework and watch folk religious activities, I guess I think it is a tourism in my heart. Although Xiaoliang is not too young, in everyone's heart, he is a half-old child, and his brain is not very easy to use. Xie Lingya may be the lead child to play.
Xiaoliang's shoulders collapsed suddenly and said, "Actually, I know that I have no talent, and I can't read a book. I have to carry it on my back for a long time. That day, Teacher Xie touched my chest and back, and then sighed... "
"Wow, I touched you too?" Zhang Daoting said, "You can rest assured. After he touched me and Liu Bohe, they didn't look good."
When Shi Changxuan heard it, he was suddenly stunned. The originally dull expression was slightly subtle. Something flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it for a while, but he was subconsciously startled.
Xiaoqian was overjoyed when he heard it, "Really?"
"Why are you happy!" Zhang Daoting patted his head, "Who can't sigh when you touch Mr. Xie?"
Small amount: "… "
A small amount of muttered: "Then it might not be necessary to touch Daoist Master Shi."
Almost forgot about Shi Changxuan, Zhang Daoting looked at Shi Changxuan beside him, "Oh, that's true."
Shi Changxuan's talent, that is needless to say, they are not comparable anyway.
Zhang Daoting glanced at Shi Changxuan, he woke up like a dream, and his expression was a little dazed: "...He also touched you?"
"Yeah, also? He even touched you?" Zhang Daoting became happy, "Hahaha, I misunderstood at first, I didn't know what he was touching me, and I was scared to death. At that time, he didn't explain it. Made me shiver.
"Later I found out why, and I found out. Hey, Mr. Xie actually touches people when he sees them, even uncles like Hou Xuzhong and Liu Bohe..."
Shi Changxuan: "???"
All kinds of things from the past came to mind, the initial kindness and attention, Wang Yuji had no disciples before his death, worshipped Mr.
More and more, more and more complicated pictures crowded Shi Changxuan's mind, but it became clearer and clearer.
It seems that all the pictures and sentences gradually disappeared and fell, and finally only Zhang Daoting's sentence was very clear:
"Hey, Mr. Xie actually touches people when he sees them!"
