In practice, many Taoist priests also pay attention to the rituals before the soldiers, and those who kill the chickens to warn the monkeys. If they can drive them out, they will drive them out.
However, Xie Lingya was violently crushed by a disagreement. Seven ghosts, a family of seven died suddenly overnight, extremely cruel.
Shi Changxuan briefly explained a few words to the master, and then silently prepared the process of welcoming the master god in the house, but it was a bit hard to say anything when he looked at Xie Lingya.
Uncle He and his wife didn't think much about it. Didn't Teacher Xie just stay and help. They were still happy, Dao-chang Shi had driven out the lobbyist, and they thought about what to do if they came back in the future. As a result, when he turned his head, Teacher Xie killed the group, which was great.
Xie Lingya was checking his sword and felt that it should not be used anymore, so he put it away. How can he know that he is so violent in the hearts of others, it is entirely because he is unprofessional, his control is not so precise, and it is very simple and rude to do it directly for you.
He Zun approached, "...Teacher Xie, didn't you say loving kindness is loving kindness?"
Hearing this, he thought it was meant to influence ghosts, but when he came up, he wiped out all seven ghosts!
Xie Lingya closed the wooden box, and said to He Zun in a leisurely manner: "Ci is the kindness of loving-kindness, but have you never heard of it? Ci-ai can be brave, and Ci-ai can be brave. Am I just kind-hearted?"
He Zun: "... be kind."
He Zun had also learned a little about Taoism before. When he heard Xie Lingya say the Three Treasures Sword, he thought it was the Taoist Three Treasures of "Tao, Teacher, and Classics".
In fact, it refers to the three treasures of "kindness, frugality and concession". In the Tao Te Ching: I have the Three Treasures, keep and preserve them. The first is kindness, the second is frugality, and the third is daring to be the first in the world.
These three are the inspiration for the ancestors of Baoyangguan to study the Three Treasures Sword, and also the core of the Three Treasure Swords.
But I don't know why, Xie Lingya explained that, He Zun still felt speechless...
…
Shi Changxuan continued the ritual, and he had to welcome the main god in the house back, everything was over, and it was twelve o'clock.
Because it was too late, Uncle He kept them here, but Shi Changxuan was unwilling. Xie Lingya thought it was good, but seeing that Shi Changxuan refused, and thinking that he had to get up early every day to open the door for those who fetched water, he said he would go back.
Uncle He had no choice but to say, "Then I'll drive the two of you back."
Aunt He took two thin red envelopes and gave them to Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan respectively.
He Zun was left to live, and Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan went out to wait for Uncle He to drive out.
Xie Lingya was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Shi Changxuan and leave a contact information when he heard Shi Changxuan suddenly say, "I saw you in Taihe."
Xie Lingya raised his head in surprise, "I went to the Prayer for Rain, but how did Daochang Shi notice me?"
Could it be that his excellence is so superficial that it cannot be concealed
Shi Changxuan: "...you've been staring at me."
Xie Lingya: "..."
Xie Lingya: "No... Be reasonable, everyone in the audience will be staring at you at that time!"
Shi Changxuan fell into a mysterious silence.
Xie Lingya was inexplicable and a little embarrassed. He changed the topic and said, "By the way, I actually have a question... Let me first say that I have no malicious intentions, but is Chen Guanzhu okay now?"
Shi Changxuan frowned slightly at him.
"What really happened?" Xie Lingya was a little surprised by his reaction.
In fact, he is also guessing randomly. From his uncle talking about similar things, the experience of the losers in the fight, I think that Chen Sansheng did not appear at the rain prayer meeting, and Mr. Wang and the others said that Fang Zhenxing, who was picking up money with Uncle He, hit.
Xie Lingya was connected with a flash of inspiration. Could it be that Fang Zhenxing asked Chen Sansheng to release the curse after the accident, but Chen Guanzhu was also accidentally recruited. In this way, it explains why President Wang was able to invite Shi Changxuan (given his honored face), and Shi Changxuan knew that Uncle He had made a fortune.
Shi Changxuan agreed, probably because Uncle He was related to that incident.
"Actually, I guessed it myself. I don't even know Chen Guanzhu, so don't worry." Xie Lingya said to Shi Changxuan.
Shi Changxuan stared at Xie Lingya for a few seconds, as if he was judging whether what he said was true or false, and slowly moved away after a while.
Is this to believe or not to believe? Xie Lingya was a bit at a loss, how could Shi Changxuan always be like this, he can't read minds, this person is really difficult to get along with!
After a while, Shi Changxuan handed the red envelope he received to Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya: "…"
Seeing him staring at him, Shi Changxuan turned his head away and said, "I'll give it to you then."
Huh, wait, does that mean admitting and believing? Xie Lingya seemed to understand Shi Changxuan's logic inexplicably.
... He wants to take back what he just said, this person is really easy to get along with!
Xie Lingya's hand has been stretched out to receive the red envelope involuntarily, thinking that I am not for myself, but for the ancestors.
"Thank you, then I'll be very welcome." Xie Lingya opened the red envelope, which was the same as his bag. It was a check, and the two added up to a total of 50,000.
I had agreed to give it at the market price. This price is actually much higher than the market price Xie Lingya had inquired about. After all, they are divided between two people. Speaking of which, it may be because Shi Changxuan gave so much. Ordinary Taoist priests do rituals in the town house, not counting ghosts, but tens of thousands of them.
Xie Lingya put away the red envelope and saw that Shi Changxuan was more pleasing to the eye, and showed him a friendly smile, when he smiled, the lying silkworm became more obvious, and his eyes were bright, "I heard that Shi Daochang has a family background, no wonder So amazing, can you exchange contact information so that I can ask you for advice in the future?"
Shi Changxuan looked at him a few more times before slowly exchanging contact information.
…
At this time, Uncle He also drove the car. Xie Lingya thought that Shi Changxuan was sitting in the front, so he got into the back seat, but he also came up behind Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya looked at it, and Uncle He didn't seem to care, and said, "Shi Daochang, Teacher Xie, I heard that it's better to hang something on the car, and I didn't care before. What's good?"
Shi Changxuan didn't mean to talk, Xie Lingya chatted with him a few words, and didn't say much, he still had to concentrate on driving at night.
Xie Lingya originally wanted to inquire about Shi Changxuan's situation, but he leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes. He could only play with his mobile phone regrettably. Fortunately, he already had the contact information.
Uncle He sent them to Taihe Temple first, where Shi Changxuan lived. Compared with Baoyang Temple, Taihe Temple is far away from the urban area. It just happened to be building a road recently, and there is such a pothole.
Xie Lingya was fiddling with his mobile phone when he felt a jolt, and when he didn't sit still, he landed on Shi Changxuan.
"Are you okay?" Uncle He also asked.
"It's okay. I'm sorry, Daoist Master Shi." Xie Lingya looked up and saw that Shi Changxuan still had his eyes closed.
Are you awake
Xie Lingya didn't pay attention to Uncle He, and when he got up, he secretly touched Shi Changxuan's chest. Before, he only looked at his face, and he also had to touch the bones on his body, especially his chest.
—Although the chances are very small, who knows if they will touch the same type of star bone as him
But apart from muscles, there doesn't seem to be any special bones. Hey, I didn't expect Shi Daochang to be the type that looks thin and fleshy in clothes. Xie Lingya thought to himself.
Xie Lingya looked up inadvertently, and saw Shi Changxuan opened his eyes at some point and was looking at him.
Xie Lingya: "..."
Look at this man! If you hit you, you won't wake up, but if you touch it, you will wake up!
Fortunately, Xie Lingya has always been thick-skinned. He closed his hands nonchalantly and looked back at Shi Changxuan, "I'm sorry I didn't sit still, haha, it seems that Taiheguan is coming soon."
"..." Under Xie Lingya's natural gaze, Shi Changxuan turned his gaze away for a while, and a trace of self-doubt appeared in his cold eyes.
When the car drove to the door of Taihe Temple, Xie Lingya waved goodbye without any guilt: "Contact again! ヾ(￣▽￣)"
Shi Changxuan: "..."
Seeing Shi Changxuan's slender back disappear into the night, Uncle He sighed: "Mr. Xie and Dao-chang Shi really hit it off!"
…
…
The statue of Wang Lingguan in Baoyang Temple is 2.7 meters long. Xie Lingya went to inquire about it. The remodeling does not reduce the cost of materials and does not deliberately increase it. It costs about 10,000.
Thanks to the fact that the statue of Wang Lingguan is still relatively simple, the main statue of many temples is not made of gold but also made of bronze.
Fortunately, Shi Changxuan also gave Xie Lingya his share of the money. In addition to repairing the golden body of Wang Lingguan's idol, Xie Lingya still had a little money left, he wanted to make up for the tiles.
In fact, there are many places in Baoyang Temple that need to be repaired. When the money was not enough, Xie Lingya considered both the price and the urgent need.
However, on the night when he consulted a craftsman, he dreamed of Wang Lingguan again.
Wang Lingguan pointed his middle finger forward, still looking majestic and angry.
Xie Lingya thought that Wang Lingguan was here to praise him at first, and was very happy, but he still dreamed of Wang Lingguan the next night. He was very depressed, what happened
Xie Lingya sat and thought for a long time, and then went through the notes again, only to find two water bamboo cups. At this time, there are two pieces of divination tools used for divination, and by throwing them for divination, you can know good and bad luck and communicate with the gods.
The water cup of Baoyangguan is made of copper, half-moon-shaped, with one side raised and the other flat.
When playing hexagrams, look at the pros and cons to determine the result. The two fronts are laughing cups, meaning the situation is unclear, the two negatives are yin cups, which means that things are not going well, and one positive and one negative is the Holy Grail, which means that the gods agree, if two sharp horns Upward is the shield hexagram of the fierce.
Xie Lingya asked silently in front of the statue: Do you want me not to find that craftsman? Is he unreliable
Come out with a smile, it is estimated that the guess is wrong.
Xie Lingya played the hexagram several times before he realized that the patriarch felt that he had been shabby for a long time, and hoped that he could be upgraded, such as a pure gold body or something.
Xie Lingya: "..."
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that the grandfather knew how to raise the price by sitting on the ground.
Xie Lingya shook his head and said, pure gold, it's definitely impossible, I can't even sell it, there is no hope for gold plating, but I can get a brass one.
Xie Lingya threw the water cups and saw the two water cups stand up. Grandpa is so fierce
At this time, the two water cups swayed in two directions respectively, and finally fell down unwillingly, becoming the Holy Grail.
Xie Lingya then breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and with such strength... As if he could imagine that the patriarch, under Xie Lingya's ruthless bargaining, thought again and again, and agreed with the grievances.
In fact, Xie Lingya has worked very hard. He originally wanted to paint you with golden paint, but considering that it is really not easy for the Lingguan Great God to be here, if it is too shabby, people will not show his temper in the future!
If he wants to cast a bronze statue for Wang Lingguan, then at least the statue of Sanqing and the statue of the Jade Emperor must also be upgraded. A bronze statue of more than two meters will cost at least 28,000.
As a result, the money Xie Lingya just earned was far from enough, and he had to keep working hard.
However, he can fix the peeled off spirit official statue first. After all, this is relatively urgent, and presumably the gods will not pick this up. And the roof must also be repaired, otherwise the wind and the sun will damage other statues.
…
After the decision was made, it was time to discuss with the craftsman about changing materials. On the other hand, Xie Lingya searched for his uncle's relics for a long time, but could not find the contact information of the tile repairing craftsman.
There are basically no tile houses in modern times, especially in cities. In the past, there was a special profession called "picking tiles", where craftsmen climbed to the roof and replaced old broken tiles.
Moreover, the main hall of Baoyang Temple is very old, and the old-fashioned tiles on it are not burned now. Unlike Taihe Temple, the tiles are new after being rebuilt. In this way, it is not easy to find a worker who can match it.
Xie Lingya still asked his father to look for it in the old village in the township under the city of Tuyang, and finally found a tile collector, please come to the city.
Given the area and degree of damage to the roof of the Baoyang Temple, it would cost at least 8,000 to 9,000 yuan to pick up the tiles.
An old craftsman like this is much more particular than Xie Lingya. He deliberately read the almanac, and chose a day that was in good season and sunny, and then went to the house to pick up tiles.
When Xie Lingya was reading a book while boiling water in the front yard, He Zun led some of his roommates to burn incense. He Zun's roommates bumped into evil with him on the nearby street last time. Fortunately, He Zun brought the talisman given by Xie Lingya at that time.
It was because of that experience that although they were curious when they saw Xie Lingya, they were all respectful. And they didn't hear He Zun say that Xie Lingya was very good-looking, and even if they were the same sex, they would secretly appreciate them in their hearts. I don't know if it's because of preconceived notions, and looking at his cold white skin, it feels very mysterious!
"Burning incense? Let's go." Xie Lingya let go of the book and led them to the back.
When He Zhen saw the book Xie Lingya put down, he made a fuss and said, "I'll go, Teacher Xie, are you really going to graduate school??"
Xie Lingya was looking at the reference book for the postgraduate entrance examination. He said inexplicably: "What are you calling, didn't I tell you already?"
He Zun: "... I thought you lied to me to be happy."
Xie Lingya: "…"
He Zun's roommate couldn't help but wonder: "I only know that there is a Taoist college, but you still have a postgraduate education system? How many years?"
Xie Lingya: "..."
"I'm not a Taoist priest." Xie Lingya explained helplessly, "To use He Zun's words, you can treat me as the sweeping monk here."
roommate:"???"
He Zun: "..."
The statue of Lingguan is still being remodeled. Xie Lingya asked them to go to the Sanqing Hall to offer incense. When pointing out the incense, they should pay attention to the incense no more than an inch, that is, the distance between the three sticks of incense should not exceed one inch.
He Zun's roommates also donated some pocket money. They are all students, and the amount is not large.
"Teacher Xie," He Zun's roommate learned from his name and said to Xie Lingya, "Last time, He Zun gave me a talisman, I want to ask you if there is any more here? I would like to ask you to go back and put them at home."
Xie Lingya sweated. It’s not that he didn’t draw talismans these days, but for practical reasons, after all, many of the people who came to their Taoist temple were uncles, aunts, and aunts. He was aiming to convert this group into believers in the future, so he studied life. Class spell.
Thinking back, Xie Lingya looked around, and Xie Lingya came up with an idea. He walked outside the hall and said to the tile-picker above, "Uncle Liu, do you have a lot of tiles?"
The tile-picker bowed his head and said, "Yes, what are you doing?"
"I'll take some as a gift." Xie Lingya said.
The tile-picker didn't ask why, and made a gesture of agreement.
Under the surprised eyes of several students, Xie Lingya took a few tiles, swept away the dust, and said, "Put this in a dry and clean place."
He Zun's roommate hesitated: "What's the use of this...?"
But they watched Xie Lingya take it out from the tiled pile and blew the soil. What's the use of this.
"These are all old tiles that were harvested, and the tile was invented by Shennong. It is in harmony with the five elements, using gold to extract soil, using water and mud, burning it with fire, and then placing it on the wood. The front is yang, and the reverse is yin, yin and yang. Help each other. If you keep it at home, you can also manage the house." Xie Lingya explained.
Many people know that the tools of carpenters, such as Luban ruler and Modou, can ward off evil spirits in the house. In fact, the tools of butchers and bricklayers are the same. The former is because they often slaughter livestock, and the latter is because of the combination of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. This is especially true of the old tiles fired in this old way.
After a few people heard it, they thanked him and accepted it with peace of mind. Like this, just give a cost price.
He Zun also complained to Xie Lingya aggrievedly: "We originally wanted to call other students to come with us, but they didn't come, saying we were superstitious."
He Zun is now basically the number one believer of Baoyangguan, and he works very hard to promote Xie Lingya, but unfortunately the effect seems to be limited.
Xie Lingya knew how difficult it was, and he comforted him: "Everyone has his beliefs. If they don't, it's too reluctant for you to invite them to offer incense. It's unnecessary."
That's high man style. He Zun's roommates sighed in their hearts, worthy of being a cold Taoist.
Xie Lingya continued: "Next time you invite them to come here for tea and melon seeds..."
Everyone: "..."
The author has something to say:
Daochang Shi: Why did he touch me
Xie Lingya: Don't worry, I will touch more people
Master Shi: ? ?
