Shi Changxuan slowly retracted his gaze, although he didn't speak, his demeanor and actions gave people a feeling of denial, that is, he admitted that Xie Lingya was right.
Xie Lingya's eyes slid on Xia Luoqing again.
Xia Luoqing pretended not to see, and didn't mean to express his opinion. This is his daily habit, and it is also normal in China. He pretends to be deaf and dumb. He also knows that young people of this generation like Xie Lingya are more concerned about not engaging in discrimination. set.
In fact, no matter how others understand it, Xia Luoqing believes that yin and yang coexist in all things.
"That's my fault." Gu Yaoxian felt aggrieved, "If Lin Shi agrees to her, will it mean that he will fail me again? Where can I make sense."
The female ghost in Tsing Yi said: "You can also die."
Gu Yao first glanced at her, only to feel that his body was very cold, and then shrank back.
"Okay, don't talk about those unrealistic ones." Xie Lingya said, "It's definitely not good for you to stay in the world for a long time. We met today, and we changed other mages, so we won't get rid of them at once. Although Lin Shi violated And your promise in your previous life, but if you want to fall in love with Poet Lin, it is impossible, you have figured it out yourself, change the conditions."
This female ghost is too affectionate, so she still wants to continue the relationship, usually the debt collector will directly harm others, so she runs to pinch her rival.
"I just want to be with her..." The Tsing Yi female ghost said unwillingly, this is her obsession with turning into a ghost, how can she be so easily persuaded.
Xia Luoqing burned the hand-written scriptures she brought with her. After the ghost in blue took the scriptures, the resentment in her eyes lightened a little, and her senses became clearer.
The female ghost in Tsing Yi woke up a little and thought about it carefully, and she knew that her wish could not be realized.
The female ghost in Tsing Yi said bitterly: "Lin Shi can't be with him... Hehe, wait, I know, Lin Shi is not with this man, after I leave, there will be other people. So, I want you to give it to me. Set up tablets, worship them every day, and offer sacrifices during festivals, such as waiting for a wife. Your future husband and children will also be enshrined to me, and you will have to be buried with me in a hundred years.”
"It's not like this for ancestors! I also want to make offerings, so isn't it disgusting for me? What do you mean, I'm the second room and you are the big room?" Gu Yaoxian said dissatisfiedly, "We will do a ritual for you and burn more. It's enough to pay off the debt for you."
He looked at Lin Shi again, and found that Lin Shi was still in a daze. He pushed her and said aggrievedly, "You're just saying something."
Everyone: "… "
How can I feel upside down...
Lin Shi was pushed, and she glanced at the ghost in Tsing Yi, knowing that she had lost others in her previous life, and she looked so pitiful that she was still lying on the ground, and she felt a little guilty, "It's okay to make offerings every day, although I don't remember it, but Since I didn't live with you in my last life, that's what it should be. But, it's not the family's fault."
The Tsing Yi female ghost said sadly: "At this time, you have to bargain with me."
"You have to be reasonable!" Gu Yaoxian forgot his fear before he knew it, so he almost jumped up, "What would I be buried with you?"
The Tsing Yi female ghost turned back: "The divorce rate in the world is so high, you don't need to worry about it so early."
Gu Yaoxian: "..."
The Tsing Yi female ghost looked at Lin Shi again: "I could have killed you, brought you to the City of Death, and continued the relationship between husband and wife. But I can't bear to see you in pain, how about you?"
They went to invite a Taoist priest to arrest her, and now they have to bargain with her.
Lin Shi struggled for a while, although the ghost in Tsing Yi was very affectionate, and what she said made her worry, but she didn't remember anything after all, so she could only say weakly: "If I compromise, I'll be sorry for both you and him... "
She didn't even dare to say that she promised a female ghost after her death. She had already reneged on her promise once, so it's better not to promise casually.
The Tsing Yi female ghost smiled miserably: "Amorous and ruthless, you are still like this."
Gu Yaoxian was also in pain. He felt that his head was the same color as the female ghost's clothes.
The female ghost in Tsing Yi looked at Lin Shi deeply, and said calmly: "Then you don't need to make offerings to me, but if you don't kill me, I will collect my debts after I reincarnate."
She didn't want to lose those memories at first, and was full of resentment. After turning into a ghost, she found that Lin Shi was reborn without waiting for her, so she ran back to the world to seek justice. Now that it's over, it doesn't matter.
"..." Gu Yao first heard a chill.
The female ghost in Tsing Yi is extremely violent, and the conversation has collapsed. They plan to go through the official process by themselves and replace it with a person to collect the debt.
In the end, Xie Lingya still performed a ritual for the female ghost in Tsing Yi and sent it back to the underworld.
The female ghost stood in front of the altar and said to Lin Shi, "You don't remember what my name is, can you call me Xiaozhou again?"
Lin Shi said subconsciously, "Xiaozhou?"
In the next instant, her figure disappeared, leaving behind a meaningful, mournful and moving expression that made people feel lost.
I couldn't persuade the female ghost just now, but now Xie Lingya said, "I'd better recite the scriptures and burn paper for her. Maybe her obsession will gradually disappear, and when she is reincarnated, she will change her mind again."
Gu Yao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then worriedly said: "Is she going to reincarnate immediately, if she is reincarnated immediately, she will be a hero or a beauty in twenty years..."
Everyone: "… "
Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone always sounded like they were worried that they would be "fading in love" and not being competitive, and they were weird.
Gu Yao first thought: "I'll burn her a few paper figurines, maybe she'll forget us when she enjoys it."
"...You're happy. It takes time to line up in the underworld. If you're late, you might meet in the next life." Xie Lingya said.
Everything has a cause. No one knows how much of the female ghost's obsession will be carried to the next life, and in what form it will be presented. At that time, it will be another story.
…
After saying goodbye to Gu Yaoxian and Lin Shi, the three returned to the natural view.
On the way, Xia Luoqing couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xie, this swordsmanship... did you teach yourself?"
"I've only learned a little health Taiji sword." Xie Lingya said embarrassingly, "How can there be any swordsmanship."
When Xia Luoqing remembered Xie Lingya's previous posture, he was very ashamed and said, "I think you still need to learn some practical swordsmanship. It is convenient and beautiful to use. Do you need me to teach you?"
Good-looking is not exaggerated, sometimes to win the trust of others, you have to rely on superficial work, which is very helpless.
Xie Lingya thought about it and it made sense, "It's not necessary, I can learn from Changxuan Shi."
He has long admired Liantan's swordsmanship. It seems that not any Taoism can be achieved quickly, and swordsmanship has to be learned and practiced hard.
"Just by looking at the posture of Daochang Shi holding the sword, you can see the depth." Xia Luoqing agreed. Looking at the doorway, Shi Changxuan had never used a sword in front of him, but once he stood there with the sword in hand, he could roughly know whether the level was high or not.
Tuyang asked the group to discuss the fasting ceremony with Tianranguan, Xie Lingya's cell phone rang, and took it out to see that it was a message from Fang Xushan.
After detection by the police, the identities of several suspects have been identified, and they have all lived in that small building.
These people come from different places, most of them are from small cities or even towns, where there is a strong superstition atmosphere. There are many female members. Most of them had religious experience in their early years, and some even had been true Taoist priests. They disappeared in their hometowns from the first two years, and they may have gone out to preach in the north and south of the river.
Checking the trajectory again, it was actually omitted to take the high-speed rail to the end. But when it reaches the territory of the first and last provinces, it disappears, which is very difficult to do in the cities that are all over the surveillance. But for some people, it's actually quite easy, just like Pei Xiaoshan. These people are not as cunning as Pei Xiaoshan, but they are also more cautious. I wonder if the evil Buddha was destroyed to wake them up.
Fang Xushan's current distress is how to find the exact traces of these people.
Shi Changxuan suddenly smiled.
Usually when everyone sees Shi Changxuan, he always looks cold and indifferent, but he has a more expression in front of Xie Lingya, and now he smiles in front of everyone, and it suddenly makes people feel a sense of shock that the snow has melted for thousands of years.
A Taoist priest who was speaking was nervous, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
In fact, Xie Lingya was also stunned for a while. He didn't think much about Shi Changxuan before, but since he thought about it a few times before, when he went to see Shi Changxuan again, he came up with something else. I don't know if it's his eyes, or if Shi Changxuan is really lively.
And Shi Changxuan was still smiling at him, Xie Lingya's eyes were erratic, "What's wrong?"
"Shouwei Province has been the place with the most activities in Hongyang Dao since the Ming Dynasty, especially in cities such as Qiwu and Tianyu." Shi Changxuan put away his smile and said lightly, "They walk in the guise of monks and Daoists, and they have to preach. Of course in and around places of worship."
Moreover, these people really have an understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, and even true monks may be deceived, which can confuse the public. Speaking of which, their founder also worked as a Taoist priest for several years in the early years.
"Yes, it makes sense." Xie Lingya pondered, "Then we can focus on the temples and Taoist temples in those cities first."
The scope of this is reduced immediately, and there will not be too many monasteries and Taoist temples in a city.
Xie Lingya told Fang Xushan about Shi Changxuan's analysis. They didn't read a lot of ancient religious materials like Shi Changxuan. After listening to the analysis and searching again, it seemed to be the case, and immediately planned to follow this clue. check.
"Why don't we go to the first and last provinces?" Xie Lingya was already gearing up, he had already received his Three Treasures Sword, and the grandfather passed him Lei Fa to teach him to teach Hong Yangdao, so he was very active.
Those people are in the first and last provinces, and if you look for them, you will definitely find them.
"You're not going to participate in the next itinerary?" Shi Changxuan asked.
"... It's a matter of priority, there is still a chance in the future." Xie Lingya said.
Shi Changxuan nodded and followed Xie Lingya.
Therefore, Xie Lingya decided to leave the group and go to Shouwei Province to discuss with Fang Xushan. He and Shi Changxuan went to Qiwu City, and Lian Tan would also go there, while Fang Xushan was in another city. There are also Taoist priests sent by other Taoist associations, scattered in various cities, to investigate together with local relevant personnel.
…
When I saw the old monk Liantan again, there was a younger monk beside him, about 30 years old, wearing glasses, with a gentle appearance.
Lian Tan introduced, this is his apprentice Tan Xing - not only the Taoist priests are active, but after Lian Tan's running, the monks are also eyeing Hongyang Dao, this time it can be said that the two sects jointly attacked.
The monks went into the monastery to look for them, and the Taoist priests looked for them in the vicinity of the temple. Although this time it was not like the last cultural relic theft case, the government gave a lot of support, but surveillance video can also be provided.
There is a Bixia Yuanjun Temple in Qiwu. Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan came to this neighborhood that day, because it was the fifteenth day, many believers came to offer incense.
The two followed the flow of people into the Yuanjun Temple, only to see that there were mostly female Taoists. Bixia Yuanjun is also called Taishan Niangniang. It is said that she blesses all beings and observes the good and evil in the world. The ancestral court is in Taishan. From ancient times to the present, women like to worship Bixia Yuanjun the most, because she also blesses women to have children, and children are free from diseases.
Xie Lingya chatted with the believers who lived nearby. For the time being, he didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, but he made himself thirsty. Seeing that the woman was making tea, he went to ask for a cup to drink. This tea is still provided for free.
The woman looked at him gently: "Is it enough?"
"Enough, thank you." Xie Lingya smiled.
The woman asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"
This is too good, and he even gave him food, Xie Lingya quickly shook his head, "No need."
Nv Dao did not force it, but Xie Lingya saw that she would also ask other people if they were hungry, and if they were hungry, they would have a vegetarian meal.
At the entrance of the main hall, Xie Lingya saw an old lady asking her, "When will the class be this week?"
Nudao smiled and said, "You can do it today, you can stay, or you can come at night."
The old lady also brought a young man, and when she went out, she said, "This is because of the good intentions of the master, and she is willing to teach us and share it with us. The scriptures are precious."
The young man said absent-mindedly, "What a precious method."
The old lady said: "The Guanzhu renovated the temple a few years ago, and found a cloth bag under the floor tiles, which contained scriptures, which are the authentic works left by the immortal master hundreds of years ago."
Young man: "Huh, hasn't it been rotten for hundreds of years?"
The old lady glared at him: "Do you think the scriptures must be written on paper? And it was left by the immortal master."
The grandfather and grandson were drifting apart, Xie Lingya felt a little uneasy after hearing this, and his instinct told him that something was wrong. Xie Lingya turned around and saw that Shi Changxuan had already entered the main hall, so he also walked in.
Looking up, the statue of Bixia Yuanjun sits on it, wearing a colorful robe, holding a baby in her arms. Around her, there are the goddess of sending children, the goddess of vision, and many others wearing red apron. plastic dolls, and women pick up the dolls and put them in their arms.
This is not disrespect to the gods, nor is it disturbing or stealing.
This is an old custom called "tie dolls", that is, women who want to have children go to Bixia Niangniang Temple, or Nuwa Temple, Guanyin Temple and other temples that have the function of blessing fertility, kneel down to worship the gods, take a red rope Tie the doll's neck, hold it up with a red cloth, hide it in your arms and take it home, praying for a baby in the coming year.
In the past, dolls were made of mud, and the Taoist priests in the temple would have them pinched first. Now the times are different, of course it has become a plastic doll, the meaning is still the same.
Generally speaking, only two or three hundred donations can be tied to the doll.
Shi Changxuan was staring at the believers. After Xie Lingya came in, the two stood together, and the woman beside them asked them if they wanted to offer incense. There is no need to add so much money for fragrance oil if you don't tie the doll, the fragrance here is still free.
"No, thank you." After Shi Changxuan refused, he left the main hall with Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya relayed what he had just heard to Shi Changxuan, and then said, "My sixth sense tells me that something is wrong."
Shi Changxuan also said: "Of course not, there is no money to tie a doll here."
Xie Lingya was shocked, "The tea is free, the fast food is free, the incense is free, and even the doll is free. How do their Taoists live?"
It is understandable to say that the cost is reduced to the cost price, but it is completely free, it is amazing, isn't it so rich
"I took a look at it carefully," Shi Changxuan said in a low voice, "a lot of people donated money voluntarily."
In other words, there are many believers who support them, and there is no shortage of money for wholesale dolls.
Xie Lingya was stunned for a while, and when he looked back at the lively main hall and the kind-faced female road, he was actually in a cold sweat.
Their original guess was that Hongyang Dao might be pretending to be a monk, hiding near religious places, or placing orders inside. But now, Xie Lingya has a terrifying idea. Will this Yuanjun Temple be one of the places where the Taoists of Hongyang live? Will the Taoists in it become their followers?
It would be absurd if a person in a formal religious place becomes a crooked person. Moreover, they may also be within the Dao Association, will they know that someone is coming to the end...
But now it's just Xie Lingya's guess. It can't be judged by the sixth sense and a few incidents. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it, and even what others have done is a good thing.
Xie Lingya said solemnly: "Come here again in the evening, they will give lectures in the evening, maybe you will know after listening to it."
Shi Changxuan nodded, and the two left the Yuanjun Temple together first.
…
Xie Lingya contacted Lian Tan and Tan Xing and asked them how they had harvested. The two said that they saw a monk in the temple taking the scriptures of Hongyang Dao. When they asked, they were stuffed to him outside. He was curious and looked at it. Take a look and see if you can see the fame.
It can be seen that Qi Wu did have activities in the Hongyang Dao, and Xie Lingya told him that he felt that Yuanjun Temple was a bit strange, so he decided to visit it at night and invite the two of them together.
Xie Lingya changed into dark clothes, and at night, the four of them went to Yuanjun Temple together. At this time, the temple door has been closed, of course, it is to climb over the wall to enter.
Shi Changxuan didn't say anything. For some reason, he jumped over the three-meter-high wall.
Lian Tan's apprentice, Tan Xing, looked suave and elegant. He picked up his sleeves and his arms were bulging, jumped up and leaned against the wall.
When Lian Tan couldn't do it, his physical strength was a little weak, but he was still agile, and all three of them jumped over the wall in a blink of an eye.
Xie Lingya bit the bullet and jumped up against the wall. When he turned over, he almost fell down, but fortunately, Shi Changxuan hugged him.
At that moment, Xie Lingya almost shouted "I rely on" because he escaped danger, Shi Changxuan was quick with his eyes and covered his mouth with one hand. He stared at Shi Changxuan, nodded, nodded again, and Shi Changxuan released his hand.
Xie Lingya memorized the topographic map during the day. At this time, most places in the temple were dark and no one was walking. Xie Lingya recalled it in his mind, pointed to a direction, and walked over there.
Yuanjun Temple has a large hall, which is usually used for practice, lectures, etc. At this time, the lights are bright, and they hide outside to listen, and faint voices can be heard.
Men and women, women, old and young, recited in unison: "I will live forever in the world for thousands of eons, and my mother will show kindness. Now that everyone hears the wonderful way, they kneel on the altar together..."
Xie Lingya turned his head to look at Shi Changxuan, he didn't know Yuanjun's classics, and he didn't know which paragraph it was.
Shi Changxuan pressed into his ear and said, "The old mother is not referring to Yuan Jun, but the birthless old mother of Hongyang Dao."
After Shi Changxuan's popular science, everyone knows that Hunyuan Dao worships gods from many sects, but there are three deities, that is, Patriarch Hunyuan, Patriarch Piaogao, and Patriarch Piaogao. Among them, Patriarch Piaogao was the founder of the religion, Han Taihu, who was worshipped as a god after his death.
Therefore, this goddess and that goddess, here is indeed one of the dens of Hongyang Road!
I don't know if the people inside know what they believe in, and they have nothing to do with Bixia Yuanjun.
Xie Lingya quietly took out his mobile phone, held it a little under the window, and took a few pictures. Then he turned around slightly, led everyone back together, walked to a slightly far corner, and Tan Xing asked him, "Aren't you going in?"
"What are you doing in here? What should we do if people beat us up? We may not wake up the believers for a while, but the four of us still want to outflank?" Xie Lingya said, "I took a picture and will report them tomorrow. This is illegal. It's time for a pot."
After thinking about it for a while, what I said is also, they can only fight with others, and there are still so many believers.
"Let's go." Although there was no one around, Xie Lingya was accustomed to whispering and returned the same way.
Lian Tan and Tan Xing climbed up the wall and jumped out. Shi Changxuan also jumped to the top of the wall, turned around and stretched out his hand to Xie Lingya. He could see that Xie Lingya had a bit of difficulty jumping off the wall before, after all, he had never practiced.
Xie Lingya smiled at him, stretched out his hand and pulled him about to kick against the wall, when Shi Changxuan's eyes suddenly changed, and there were some restraints on his hand, so he couldn't lift it up.
Xie Lingya looked down and saw a plastic doll wearing a red apron at some point one meter away from his feet. His eyes were like paint, his face was full and white, his lips were bright red, and he was holding a red rope in his hand. The other end of the red rope was tied to Xie Lingya's wrist.
The plastic doll's mouth opened, showing a cheerful smile in the night, and a coquettish child's voice sounded from its body: "Brother, can you tie me home?"
Although it was an innocent and lovely child's voice, it gave Xie Lingya a chill!
Shi Changxuan's expression was also cold, and he reached out his hand to draw out the peach wood sword from his back, only to hear Shang Lushen on his shoulders shouting, "Smelly shameless!!"
