Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 68: Peach Man

Views:

Xie Lingya seemed to be complaining for the first time by a ghost. He was a little embarrassed, but he calmed down quickly and said, "What's the hurry, the Mage is talking, don't interrupt."

Female ghost: "..."

However, this female ghost helped Xie Lingya get rid of the awkward atmosphere, and Xie Lingya listened to this ghost in a very organized manner, not as irrational as he imagined, so he raised his chin at the female ghost and said, "What's the matter with you? Let's talk about it first, what are you doing here?"

The female ghost was silent for a while, and said, "Look for someone, look for those who killed me. There were three people, two men and one woman, who robbed me with their faces covered, and then killed me and threw my body in the river. I saw the wounds on them. Documents, I know they live here. But the police couldn't find anyone for a long time, so I had to come by myself. "

Xie Lingya frowned and said, "But you've harassed more than three people these days. One of them is a teacher from our school. The teacher can't rob you of your money."

Female ghost: "I said they covered their faces!"

"Co-authoring, you are just looking for it! You are still righteous!" Xie Lingya thought to himself that it was no wonder that he said that whoever was caught and who was caught, but no one was killed. Isn't this just looking at who looks like it? , "Since that's the case, I won't cut you down and hand it over to the Chenghuang for trial. Your case can also be presented to the Yin Si, which is much better than finding it blindly."

The female ghost lowered her head and said, "Give it over to the judge of the underworld, but it's just a matter of taking away his discipline. I'm going to retaliate."

Xie Lingya can quite understand the female ghost's mood, he said: "Then you can't be too busy, if you have the money in hand, take it to check, you can also ask the police to reveal some information, and even the underworld is not absent. An example of the revenge of the Huiyang world under the supervision of the underworld officials."

The female ghost raised her head sharply: "Really?"

Xie Lingya: "Yes, it's not that you can only wait until death to be sentenced, but this requires waiting for trial and application, and your own case must also meet the conditions. Some trials are too long, and revenge is in the next life."

But the important thing is fairness and legality, especially if she doesn't know who is the one who harmed her. Her crime of harming others will be tried, but her grievances will also be sorted out, one by one.

The female ghost glanced at Xie Lingya suspiciously: "Have you ever died? Why do you know so much."

As a ghost, although she has not been taken to the Yin Si, she has met several people of the same kind, none of which is as clear as Xie Lingya.

"You comrade ghost, why are you so poor? I understand because..." Because my uncle told him about it, but Xie Lingya still remembered that the second generation of officials should keep a low profile, and coughed, "We often deal with the underworld."

The female ghost thought again and again, and said, "I escaped the arrest of the underworld officials and came here to take revenge. But I have never found the real enemy... In this case, I am willing to surrender."

Xie Lingya thought she was unable to enter the City God Division for other reasons, but she didn't expect to escape by herself, Xie Lingya said in shock, "I'm really brave enough, okay, that's it."

He activated the Seal of the City God, and summoned the nearby Yin soldiers, and entrusted the female ghost to the other party.

After the matter was done, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan walked out silently, with a distance of about half a meter between them, neither too far nor too close, neither close nor distant.

Professor Zhu and Xie Fan took the lady to the hospital and asked them how they were doing.

Xie Lingya talked about the situation of the female ghost, and also said that they should be careful, this community is haunted, and there are robbers and murderers living there.

It was the first time that Professor Zhu came into contact with a supernatural incident. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed such a mysterious thing. At this time, he said with a bitter face: "I thought it would be enough to solve that..., but the murderer is still living with impunity. Yes, my God."

Xie Fan has been in contact with a lot, so it is not so difficult to accept, and he does not live here, and the psychological pressure is not so great, and also comforted Professor Zhu a few words, they should not dare to commit crimes around the home.

"It's okay, there are some things that can't be concealed from the ghosts and gods, and the Yin Division will naturally have a record. I have already pointed her, and when the results come out, I'll let the person handling the case dream, so that the murderer will be brought to justice sooner. Use the law." Xie Lingya said.

This incident also involved Yang Shi's murderer, and he was more attentive. He planned to tell Ning Wanlai at that time. If there was any problem with the female ghost, Ning Wanlai could give some pointers to this impermanent life.

There is also the matter of asking for clues in dreams. Although today’s society does not pay attention to the theory of ghosts and gods, people may not care about asking for a dream once, but it is enough to ask for a few more times. As for how to write the report, that is their own business.

Xie Lingya said it lightly, and Professor Zhu also had lingering fears. It was not until the police did arrest a few people from their community that he knew that Xie Lingya was not talking nonsense.

After finishing the work, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan naturally went back all the way. Professor Zhu originally wanted to stay with Xie Lingya for one night, but he refused. Tomorrow is the weekend, so you can sleep in when you go back, and it's too embarrassing to get up late at the tutor's house.

I don't know how many times they acted together late at night, but this time the atmosphere was slightly different, so I didn't talk much.

The taxi drove directly to the rental building, and Xie Lingya didn't bother to bother. The car had to take a detour to get to the front door of Baoyangguan, but it was faster for him to walk from here to the back door, so he got out of the car together.

"I'll send you." Shi Changxuan said coldly.

"No need." Xie Lingya hurriedly said, "It's just such a short distance, what to give."

In the past, Xie Lingya would definitely not take it seriously, and love to send and send, but now I can't help but think about it, Shi Changxuan is saying this? It's a pity that you can't really see it from his face, and you can't hear it in his tone.

Shi Changxuan was waiting to say anything, but Xie Lingya said helplessly: "There are three streets nearby, are there any ghosts who don't know me? Is there anyone who dares to commit a crime in the surrounding area?"

A few days before the start of this year's Zhongyuan Fa Conference, Qin Limin had already asked Zhang Daoting to pass the time, but the toilet ghost and Ding Aima were still there.

As far as Jingui Pedestrian Street is concerned, ghosts know that they cannot come outside. Because there have been many cases of enthusiastic Taoist priests providing clues to solve cases, and cases of inexplicable crimes, criminals in the city also feel evil. Even if there is a lot of people here, they rarely come here. Well, the law and order can be said to be even better.

In such a place, he still needs to send it after walking such a long way at night

Shi Changxuan said in other words, "I will accompany you back."

Xie Lingya: "…"

Alas, the little dragon girl is a little boring...

Xie Lingya only dared to think in his heart that Shi Changxuan was really accompanied by Shi Changxuan to the back door of the Taoist temple. He regretted that he did not firmly refuse, because the atmosphere of this journey was even more strange.

I didn't know it before, but now that I know it, Shi Changxuan can make up his mind without saying a word to Xie Lingya: What the hell is Senior Brother thinking

On the table is a wooden figure that is about a little above the knees. It is very sturdy. The bottom is covered with iron sheets. The joints can be moved. The body is wrapped with battery wires and the like. .

This is what Fang Zhe said, the automatic peach wood man.

Xie Lingya opened the door and put a small figure cut out of gold foil into the slot, "That's it, right?"

This is a wooden figurine made by Fang Zhe, which is different from what Xie Lingya imagined. He thought it was a wooden figurine as tall as an adult.

Such a high level of bad activity. Fang Che explained this.

"That's it, try it." FangZhe inserted a sword into the little wooden figurine's hand, the switch was turned on, and when the remote control was pressed, the wooden figurine automatically raised his hand and performed horizontal splits one after another.

Xie Lingya looked at it for a long time and still felt too petite, "I'll be honest, you can only chop off your legs..."

"You can still stand upright!" FangZhe pressed, and the wooden man changed his posture again.

"Hahaha, yes, your fingers are quite flexible, can you control them individually?" Xie Lingya looked at him and nodded, holding the remote control for a few times, the wooden man raised his left hand, his thumb, index finger, ring finger and little finger flexed, Middle finger straight up.

FangZhe: "..."

"Hahahahahahaha!" Xie Lingya almost rolled over with laughter, and even called for others to watch.

Everyone knows that FangZhe has been fiddling with this for a long time. When Xie Lingya returns and his hands are ready, he will have the time to experiment with him on the part involving spells. I was already tired of watching it before, but when I heard Xie Lingya laughing, I came over to take a look.

Who would have guessed that as soon as he entered his eyes, the Taomu man held up a middle finger, "Mr. Xie, quality!"

"Hey, I'm a Lingguan tactic, okay?" Xie Lingya still plausible.

Fang Zhe said with a black line: "Try the effect of the Imitation Technique."

The core of this technology is still in metamorphosis. Whether the wooden man wielding a sword can have the effect of exorcising evil spirits like a real person wielding a sword, the key to the success of the combination of metamorphism is.

Xie Lingya had just put the gold foil villain who symbolized himself into the slot behind the Taomu Ren. It stands to reason that now it can exorcise evil by swinging the sword.

"I can't tell just like this, I need to find a feminist experiment." Xie Lingya pondered for a while, "I don't know how much of my skills this wooden man can use. Like a toilet ghost, he will die if he is found. "

The toilet ghost was shivering in an unknown corner, Fang Zhe couldn't bear to say: "I guess it will, so don't look for it."

"Yes, there is a guy who can definitely stand it." Xie Lingya clapped his hands and called the Eastern Ghost King!

Fang Zhe: "…Is it convenient?"

Xie Lingya: "I'm fine, I don't know if it's inconvenient for him."

It was not convenient for Fang to come. The Ghost King was still holding a jar of wine in his arms, and was found by Xie Lingya. Seeing that he was still slightly drunk, he suddenly floated forward when he saw them, "Liu Liu!"

Xie Lingya flicked to the side and covered Liu Lingtong on his shoulders with one hand.

But he thought too much, and the ghost king who drank too much held the peach wood man and said: "How did you grow up, Xiao Liu?"

Everyone: "… "

Xie Lingya quickly tossed the ghost king sober, pulled the peach wood man out of his hand, jokingly, this peach wood man took the shape of him, he felt goose bumps when he saw the ghost king holding it.

The ghost king woke up and sighed: "If this king lets you hack today, what face will I have to see the elders of the ghost world."

Xie Lingya asked doubtfully, "Do you still have any face left in the ghost world?"

Ghost King: "..."

The Ghost King resigned and asked for completeness: "Forget it, forget it, this king respects the people of Sazhen's family, and gives me a face."

He stood in front of the Taomu man, with his arms outstretched—of course, this action was unnecessary.

If faced with ordinary tall and short ghosts, the Taomu people can only slash down to the calf, then in the face of the ghost king, they can only slash to the ankle.

The Taomu Ren mechanically raised his hand, slashed down with a sword, and slashed at the ghost king's ankle. A burst of golden light sparkled, and a black mark appeared immediately.

"It's done!" Fang Ze said in surprise.

The Taomu Ren kept swinging his sword without being pressed to stop, and the Ghost King hurriedly covered his feet and rushed back.

Xie Lingya picked up the Taomu Ren, and after turning off the switch, the hand holding the sword stopped in mid-air.

After a while, the marks on the ghost king's legs began to heal and soon disappeared. It can be seen that although the Taomuren wielding the sword is useful, the effect will be discounted. It is also very good. It is the ghost king who is slashing, not ordinary ghosts.

"Okay, after that, I still have to study the instructions." Xie Lingya said, "This way, you can still do some more accurate movements, like kneading your hands."

Speaking of this, Xie Lingya also asked Taomu Ren to show the ghost king a middle finger.

Ghost King: "...This is not a magic official."

"It's a non-standard spirit official art. It's a pity, the fingers are still not very flexible." Xie Lingya said solemnly.

Ghost King: "..."

I always feel like I'm getting bored.

Although the ghost king was invited to do an experiment, it still had to be worshipped. Xie Lingya brought the wine and vegetables that had been prepared for a long time, and then burned some ingots and coins.

While eating and drinking, the ghost king said, "Where's that Huoju Taoist priest? Aren't you two inseparable?"

This is obviously Shi Changxuan, the ghost king still doesn't know that Shi Changxuan has moved to rent a house for a few days.

"I don't have it, don't talk nonsense, when will you be inseparable?" Xie Lingya said with a guilty conscience.

The Ghost King said honestly, "Anyway, he's always there every time I see you."

Xie Lingya: "It's a coincidence."

Others also wondered whether Teacher Xie really had a conflict with Daochang Shi. These two sentences did not want to admit that Daochang Shi had a good relationship, but yesterday the two returned at night together, and the relationship was really confusing!

The ghost king finished drinking, and Xie Lingya poured the wine. Ghosts drink alcohol by inhaling alcohol, and without alcohol, the wine is as pale as white water. Because of the heavy yin, it cannot continue to be drunk by people, and it has to be poured.

After he was full of food and drink, and stuffed with coins and ingots, Xie Lingya cast out the ghost king and went back.

Ghost King: "Wait a while."

"We are going to rest at this time, no one will entertain you." Xie Lingya said.

The ghost king swept his eyes on his shoulder, "It's okay, I don't want you to entertain..."

Liu Lingtong said softly, "Master, I'm afraid."

Xie Lingya wanted to protect himself, and pushed the Ghost King away, "See you later!"

When he lowered his head, he thought to himself, "Oh, Liu Lingtong is really becoming more and more lively, and he knew how to act like a spoiled child. He used to be so scared that he cried.

He didn't know that since Shang Lushen saw so many things outside, he became more aware of Liu Lingtong's kindness and kindness to him, and even taught him how to act like a spoiled child with Xie Lingya when he was alone.

At that time, Liu Lingtong was very puzzled. When you see Xie Lingya, you often can't speak.

However, it turns out that Shang Lushen's theoretical knowledge is still very rich and powerful, and Liu Lingtong does it really useful.

Besides, after the success of the Taomu Man experiment, Fang Zhe added some movement designs according to what Xie Lingya said, including making the fingers more detailed, so that he could squeeze out many kinds of hand moves.

Fang Zhe was skillful, and painted the wooden figure in maroon, but did not paint the facial features, but Xie Lingya drew a spirit official and divine eye on the position between the eyebrows, so that he could recognize ordinary ghosts in disguise.

Fang Zhe was smug, and he just waited for the next time Baoyangguan had any work, and the Taomu people could practice on the spot.

The 23rd day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is Sazu's Christmas. Xie Lingya organized the believers to congratulate Sazu on his happy birthday. He cleaned the Sazu statue in the ear room with grapefruit peel and painted it with essential oil.

When he came out, he saw a man with a straight waist and an old lady in the courtyard. The old lady was a frequent believer here. Seeing Xie Lingya, he even greeted him and asked him where the Taoist priest who released the lottery was.

"Take a leave of absence to do some errands and come back later." Xie Lingya and the man nodded and said, "Auntie, what are you asking for, let me see for you?"

"My son begged, bring him to pay homage to the patriarch today, he..." As soon as the old lady said that, she was stopped by her son and told him not to continue.

Xie Lingya didn't care. He took the signature and looked at it. He usually doesn't understand the signature. He just read the book. ... It's not like that, it should be said that the object of the request is wrong."

The man actually smiled and said, "The object of my request is the Patriarch, is this also wrong?"

"Different gods have different duties, so of course mistakes can be made." Xie Lingya looked at him and said, "You are upright, I am afraid it is a public office, or even work in a police station, a court or the like."

"Young people have good eyesight." The man smiled slightly.

The old lady whispered, "My son is a policeman, and I don't want to come here. This time too..." She looked at her son's expression again as she spoke, but didn't go on, as she had some scruples.

Xie Lingya took a closer look at the policeman, "Did you not rest well? You are dreaming at night, and your face is not very good. Do you want to go to the clinic at the back?"

The man laughed. He didn't expect Xie Lingya to persuade him to go to the clinic, "It's a dream, but the clinic can't cure it."

Xie Lingya heard him say this, and most of them dreamed of some unusual things. Since it was not a health problem, it was not a problem that could be solved by praying to God and worshipping Buddha.

"Let's talk to Xiao Xie, he said that your signature was wrong." The old lady advised. People who come here often know that Xie Lingya is Zhang Daochang's senior brother.

When the man thought about it, he came to burn incense to ask for the signature. He was afraid of one more item, so he nodded.

"Then come with me to the room." Xie Lingya brought them indoors.

The man said very directly and without any premise: "When I was investigating a murder case, I dreamed that the deceased told me for four consecutive days that the person who killed her was in a certain community, what characteristics did she have, and how she killed her. After waking up I was incredulous, and with a glimmer of hope, I investigated it, and I actually found a loophole, and finally solved this clueless case."

Xie Lingya immediately thought of the female ghost they met in Professor Zhu's community, and thought it wouldn't be so coincidental, it was her. At that time, he also said that if he met someone who didn't believe in evil, he would dream a few more times.

"Then this is also a good thing. Did the deceased thank you in a dream later? Are you offering incense to comfort her spirit in the sky?" Xie Lingya asked.

But the man's face twisted, and he said, "No... Then I started to dream again, I could do three or four a night, all of them were lonely ghosts coming to me, saying that my complaint in the underworld was dismissed, but I still felt that I was wronged. , I heard that I helped the deceased, and I want to help them too."

Xie Lingya almost laughed out loud, "Is this taking you as Bao Qingtian?"

A lot of lonely and wild ghosts, just like the rogues in the world, are unreasonable.

"What a mess." The man saw Xie Lingya's expression at ease, but couldn't see where he came from, so he could only continue, "And I checked the files, and some of the deceased have been dead for 40 or 50 years... How can I investigate. I am now Sleep quality is affected."

Xie Lingya thought that the policeman was very just, and actually went to find the information. However, since the complaint was dismissed in the underworld, there were basically very few misjudgments.

"Since this is the case, you have indeed entered the wrong temple and worshipped the wrong god." Xie Lingya laughed and copied down the address of the Chenghuang Temple, "Go to the Chenghuang Temple to worship, the ancestors will exorcise evil spirits, but if you want to cure them, it is still We have to find the local sleuth. By the way, did the deceased looking for you die in the river?"

The man gave him a horrified look, obviously he was right, but he didn't even tell his family about this matter, how did Xie Lingya know? I have to go to work in the afternoon and wait for the next vacation."

"Wouldn't that have to wait another week?" the old lady said, "Seeing that you are tired, let's hurry up and go to the Temple of the City God now." Although the old lady also felt strange in her heart, there are people who burn incense from home, leave of the temple.

"Wait, the City God Temple is a little far from here." Xie Lingya said suddenly, "I'll think of a way for you."

The mother and son looked at each other curiously, wondering what he could do.

Xie Lingya took them to the room where the tablets of the ancestors of the past dynasties were enshrined, which naturally included the tablets of Wang Yuji, as well as the portrait, and then said, "Pray here for what you think."

When the man saw that there were so-and-so mage's tablets in this room, he was a little confused. What do you mean, the mage who worshipped their Taoist temple, these mage have spirits in the sky, they will help him? What's the difference between that and worshiping Wang Lingguan? Maybe these mages are local Yin officials

He didn't know that he had inadvertently broken a truth. Because Xie Lingya had previously revealed the characteristics of the first deceased in a dream, he admitted Xie Lingya's ability in his heart, so he listened to his prayers in front of the tablet, and put on the incense again.

"It's done." Xie Lingya sent them out, "If the matter is resolved, you can go to the Temple of the City God to repay."

The old lady said confusedly: "Shouldn't I come here to repay?"

"Then go, okay?" Xie Lingya smiled.

After seeing off the mother and son, Xie Lingya saw Shi Changxuan coming, they looked at each other, he turned his eyes crampedly, and said, "Ah... I experimented with Taomu Ren yesterday, and it was pretty good. "

Shi Changxuan picked up the Taomu Ren and asked a few words about the situation of the phantasmagoria.

When talking about professional knowledge, Xie Lingya also became a lot more natural. After discussing with him, he said that Fang Zhe should continue to improve, and asked if he had any comments.

At the same time, Liu Lingtong and Shang Lushen once again had the opportunity to be alone. Liu Lingtong also reported to Shang Lushen how he mustered up the courage last time, and begged Xie Lingya to resist the ghost king according to the guidance of Shang Lushen.

The God of Shang Lu gave a light humming in advance.

Liu Lingtong whispered: "...Thank you."

Shang Lushen said proudly: "As long as you are obedient, I will pass on you the trick of pressing the bottom of the box in the future."
