Xie Lingya hung up the phone and was still confused. Father Shi asked him what was wrong. He said slowly, "Someone just set the donation record... A kind person said that he donated 8 million to us in order to repay his vow."
Both Father Shi and Shi Changxuan were a little surprised, and then Father Shi smiled and said, "Look, doesn't this prove that there is a lot of potential when holding Yangguan."
"I was quite surprised. I asked the donor's name, but I didn't remember much. It is said that he just came to burn incense." Let me put it this way, the so-called large donation to the Taoist temple was actually a reward for Xie Lingya. Xie Lingya went out to work for others and earned it back.
Ordinary people burn incense to buy talismans, how can they donate so much sesame oil money when they come back to repay their vows
And as Zhang Daoting said, none of their ancestors would bless people to get rich, and it would be strange that this person would still be willing to pay them back, unless he worshipped Sanqing.
But all in all, the world is big and full of wonders, and Xie Lingya is also a little strange.
Father Shi also took Xie Lingya to meet the optimistic people, and talked about their experience in cooperating with the government in establishing projects. Although the age is different, there is still some reference value.
Daochang Dai also asked Xie Lingya to pay more attention to marketing. He had heard a lot about the popularity of Baoyangguan on the Internet several times because of his attention to Xie Lingya, but it was all spontaneous, Daochang Dai suggested that he can take the initiative. And this kind of cooperation is not negotiated in a day or two. It may take a long time from the test to the final decision.
Xie Lingya was optimistic and took a simple lesson. Seeing that it was time for the return trip, he thanked Dai Daochang for a long time, and hurried down the mountain.
When I went back, I met the bus driver who came here again. I haven't seen him for a few days. He is in better spirits. He recognized Xie Lingya and the two at a glance, and said enthusiastically: "Little Master, I went up the mountain yesterday, and I saw you both. !"
He was so far apart that he couldn't say hello. At that time, he thought to himself, worthy of being an expert, there are so many Taoist priests present, how can they come to power. Thinking about it like this, I feel more and more lucky that day.
Xie Lingya also greeted him, took the opportunity to sit in the seat near the driver, and asked, "Master, you look better now."
"Yes, I went to the Temple of the City God first, and then I went to the Taiyi Tianzun Temple, which is very optimistic. I don't know which great god blessed me. The quality of sleep at night is very good." The driver said cheerfully and looked at Shi Changxuan. He added, "I think the two of you should still wear that...that..."
He didn't know what to call the two men's robes for a while, but after holding it for a few seconds, Xie Lingya wanted to help him, and then he suddenly said: "Uniform! Well, uniform! You look good in uniform!"
Xie Lingya & Shi Changxuan: "..."
Xie Lingya said gloomily, "Master, that's called the robe."
"It's the uniform of a Taoist priest, right?" the driver said, "It looks good, it looks different from the ones in the TV series, and the yellow and red match well."
Xie Lingya wanted to laugh, "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Shi Changxuan also showed a smile in his eyes, but it wasn't because of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but because the driver said they were a good match - he automatically ignored the clothes.
The driver thought about it for a while and said, "It's much better than that."
He can't describe it either, but it's different from the vulgar red and yellow. Elegant, yet low-key and hidden, embroidered patterns with gold and silver threads.
Xie Lingya said solemnly: "Hey, the main thing is that we look good."
The driver thought for a moment: "Yes, yes."
Shi Changxuan: "..."
…
First take the bus, then take the high-speed train. When we arrived in Tuyang, it was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, and we had to go back to the Taoist temple.
The subway was out of service at this point. In the taxi, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan were both sitting in the back row. Xie Lingya was originally playing with his mobile phone, but when he inadvertently raised his eyes, he saw in the rearview mirror that Shi Changxuan was peeking at himself— In fact, it is not a peek, after all, the two have established a relationship, just staring at him quietly.
However, when Shi Changxuan noticed that Xie Lingya looked back, he still looked away a little unnaturally.
Xie Lingya deliberately pushed Shi Changxuan into his arms, Shi Changxuan panicked, but soon found out that the taxi driver didn't take it seriously. It was common for passengers to "fight" in the car. Just, what is it.
Shi Changxuan put one hand around Xie Lingya's shoulders, the other around his waist, and hugged Xie Lingya, who was in a twisted motion. When the car arrived at Baoyang Temple, he let go of his hand with reluctance.
Xie Lingya made an appointment with him, and he didn't tell the rest of the Taoist temple for the time being. First, considering everyone's ability to accept it, secondly, he wanted to wait for the relationship to stabilize.
Therefore, after entering the Taoist temple, the two kept a normal distance.
Knowing that they were coming back, Zhang Daoting deliberately stayed up late and waited. He grabbed some vegetables from the vegetable field. Although he couldn't cook, he could still make noodles. Cook the noodles in a pot, and put the vegetables in it to boil them. When adding vegetables.
As soon as Xie Lingya came back, the ghost king also appeared. The other three ghost kings came over and asked if they could give Kou instant noodles to eat. The Eastern Ghost King said, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen Xiaoliu. I'd like to say hello."
Xie Lingya threw him away, and asked Zhang Daoting to make a few more packets of noodles, and brought some ghost kings to smell it, he felt very strange, "Isn't all good food and wine to serve you these days, what's wrong, think Eat instant noodles."
The ghost kings said, "This smells so good!"
They are all old ghosts who have been practicing for many years. They don't know what instant noodles are like like new ghosts. This is not a regular offering, so they are very interested.
The ghost kings were breathing instant noodles, while Zhang Daoting said, "By the way, Mr. Xie, the donor who was mentioned during the day, the Taoist Association seems to want to hold a donation ceremony for him, but he also refused, very low-key."
"Really..." Xie Lingya touched his chin and said, "I don't ask for anything, and I give my heart to it. What a good person."
While eating the noodles, the ghost king asked, "Has your fortune come?"
"What do you mean," Xie Lingya asked in a strange tone after hearing them speak, as if he knew it long ago, "Do you know anything?"
"Did no one tell you?" The Eastern Ghost King pointed to something and said, "The night before yesterday, a few wealthy ghosts came to dig for luck. We cleaned it up and forced them to dig back by the way."
Xie Lingya almost spit out his face, "Cough!"
He said how did he suddenly get rich!
Xie Lingya was not there, Fang Zhe and the others didn't dare to communicate with the gloomy ghost king, so naturally they didn't know about the five ghosts' fortunes.
Weak ghosts are afraid of strong ghosts, little ghosts are afraid of big ghosts, and the name of the swordsman ghost "Jian'er" written on the door can scare away ordinary ghosts. When these five-way wealth-producing ghosts meet the four-way ghost king, they can only hold their heads and beg for mercy.
What are the temperaments of the ghost kings? Since they have enjoyed the offerings, they will cover the people who hold the Yangguan. These little ghosts have offended their majesty. They not only beat them, but also forced them to reverse the spell and go back.
- The little ghosts alone can't devour Ma Xiaochuan's disciples, but it's not necessarily the case that the ghost king of the four sides is behind him.
When Xie Lingya asked, he figured out that it should be Ma Xiaochuan. He made money here, and Ma Xiaochuan should lose money there, but I don't know in what form, it's not necessarily Ma Xiaochuan's money that went directly to Baoyang Temple Come, this is ghosts and gods, and fortune is very delicate.
And if Ma Xiaochuan loses money, it may not be a day's work, but he can't hide anyway. Even if he does everything possible to not lose money, he may not be able to make any money in the future, and he will be poor for the rest of his life...
"Eight million, you really made a lot of ill-gotten money, so I'll take it for the patriarch." Xie Lingya thought about it and said again, "Oh, if you say that Cheng Xin's case is completed, they will It's all in the game, but it's not luck."
When everyone thinks about it, this is really the case, as if a drink and a peck are already fixed.
After eating the noodles, Zhang Daoting packed up the tableware and went to the kitchen. Shi Changxuan put a hand on Xie Lingya's hand as if nothing had happened. Xie Lingya also shook it back expressionlessly. There are other Taoist priests sleeping in the room now. Now that Zhang Daoting can't see it, he pulls his little hand.
Sifang Ghost King: "..."
No... Zhang Daoting can't see it, they can see it! !
The four ghost kings were all stunned. I didn't expect Teacher Xie to play so well. This attitude of not treating them as human beings... Although it's true, don't you think it's a bit too much
Xie Lingya hadn't thought about their mood, so it's fine to hide it from others, how could it be to hide from ghosts, and if it was the ghost king of the four directions, he didn't even need to think about their moods.
Xie Lingya didn't explain a word, and when Zhang Daoting came out, they let go again lightly.
Zhang Daoting saw the four big men dumbfounded and asked, "What happened to them?"
Sifang Ghost King shouted in his heart: He just held hands with that little Taoist priest! ! !
Xie Lingya said calmly: "I'm too full, you go to rest first, I'll send them away."
Zhang Daoting answered honestly and went back to his room to rest.
Xie Lingya sent away the Sifang Ghost King who was in a complicated mood. "Thank you for your help in the past few days, and you have moved me a fortune. I am very grateful. But I am grateful, and you can't gossip about me casually."
He smiled, but the ghost king of the four directions saw nothing and quickly slipped away.
Xie Lingya remembered the suggestion that President Dai gave him to increase the promotion of Taoism. He was still thinking about what to do and whether he could find an online marketing company. There was another discussion about Baoyang Temple on the Internet.
Still have to thank the donor, or indirectly thank Ma Xiaochuan. There is no impermeable wall in the world. The donor donated such a large sum of money. Although there was no ceremony, the internal reason soon spread.
The donor came with a "return", and there are several theories about how he made a fortune. Some say that he got rich overnight by gambling, some say that he dug high-priced treasures in the ground, and some say that he made a fortune. The business was lucky, and there were many opinions. Anyway, no matter which one it is, it is related to Baoyang View, which is said to be inspired by the gods.
It is also said that he has nose and eyes. When this person came to hold the Yangguan to offer incense, he made a wish to the patriarch, and if he made money, he would donate a percentage of it. Then, after he really made a fortune, he dreamed of the grandfather and so on again—even people knew everything in their hearts and dreams.
Mainly because Baoyang Temple has been discussed on the Internet a few times because of pujas, talismans, etc. because of its effectiveness. This time, it was reported that someone was willing to donate 8 million, which aroused the memories of netizens.
It is the Baoyang Temple, the little fox listens to the scriptures, the crane stands on the altar, and the Baoyang Temple sells mosquito repellent charms. If it is another Taoist temple, most people may only think that the rich have faith and self-will, and change to Baoyang. Look, everyone can't help but discuss.
What kind of gesture did this person use to make a wish? Baoyang Temple is so spiritual, should I also go to worship
At this time, a new saying became popular, that is, Baoyangguan actually exorcised evil for the believer, so he donated so much money without hesitation.
"True spirit or hype? Are you really willing to donate eight million?"
"How stupid people are..."
"What should I do if I'm a little excited? I'm in Queshan Province. I can go to Jiyang to play on weekends and have a cup of tea. Please God bless me and get rich?"
"Huh? So superstitious?"
"To be honest, I have always thought that this Taoist temple has no background. You said that the scenery is good, but I went to see it myself. It is obviously in a busy market, and there is a vegetable market around it, so the pictures are so interesting. It is not using foxes to sell cuteness. It's a product like a mosquito repellent that seems to be deceiving elementary school students. Oh, and there are a few good-looking Taoist priests who have never heard of this place before, um... It feels like it's just on the surface, and it's not a reliable Taoist temple."
"I'm sorry, I only saw that you said you were in the downtown? What kind of ghost is holding the Yangguan in the downtown?"
"What?? Downtown? I don't believe it!"
…
Although it is a bit crooked, a certain statement has been recognized by many people. I always feel that there is a sense of frivolity of Internet celebrities, and I have not seen anything serious.
As a result, at this time, some people turned up the video and photos of the World Peace Conference on Changle Mountain. This conference was on the news, and some people identified Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan from a short clip and among many people. s face.
They have shown their faces before, and after such a comparison, and looking for the statement in the press release, they know that they represented Baoyangguan to participate in the Fa conference, and they also stood with the master Fa Gao Gong to assist.
For a while, those frivolous statements seemed like jokes. What an irregular and incompetent small Taoist temple, can you be invited up? Looking at the stage, except for Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan, the other Taoist priests were at least middle-aged.
So many people discussing Baoyang Temple are basically laymen, and the discussion about whether it is effective or not is also very pale, but these screenshots and photos show that, despite the small size of Baoyang Temple, it is also quite famous within the Taoist circles. The professional level of Taoist priests is very high, and they do not rely solely on selling tea and selling cuteness.
If you still think it’s not enough, remember that one of them doesn’t seem to be a Taoist priest—some people called the Provincial Road Association to inquire, and you can hear a clear answer. It was a wine sacrificial Taoist priest specially invited by the president, and it also has family background, especially Reminder, you can also pay attention to the WeChat public account of Baoyangguan.
After checking the meaning of the wine sacrifice Taoist priest, and then follow this clue to find the WeChat account of Baoyangguan, you can find that half of the readers of their WeChat articles are reading the photo, and the other half are all Taoist priests, lay priests and other Taoists. world people.
Ordinary netizens like to read daily popular science with pictures, and insiders like to express their opinions under "Notes on Holding Yang".
From the collection of these remarks, it is not difficult to see that they recognize the "Notes on Holding Yang" very much. Moreover, the scriptures are quoted in it, no matter whether it is at first glance or searched sentence by sentence, there is nothing wrong with it, it is definitely dry goods.
"I'll go to you to see who this is? I thought it was familiar, so I googled it." Someone even found a Taoist priest Zhang in the message. After checking the name, the contemporary Longhushan Zhang Tianshi...
Other Taoist priests may not know what their status is. It is very bluffing to see the number of messages. However, who does not know about Zhang Tianshi in Longhushan? Maoshan, Longhushan, Zhang Tianshi are all Taoist symbols.
You can forcefully explain that other Taoist priests are bragging about each other's business, so there's no need for a signboard as big as Longhu Mountain, right? The president of the Provincial Road Association also does not need to give face to a small Taoist temple for no reason.
This time, there is really no objection, and all doubts can enter the dog's stomach.
Baoyangguan was not famous before, maybe it was just that the majority of netizens did not understand the Taoist world. Now the iron proof is in front of them. Not only are they not frivolous, but they are also very "stable", putting so many notes and correcting mistakes in some professional books .
You can't judge people by their appearance because they are good-looking, and think they are vases, right
This reversal, although it is suspected of running the wrong topic, can be regarded as a complete lift of Baoyangguan.
…
Taking advantage of this limelight, Xie Lingya also opened the official Weibo of Baoyangguan, and moved the error correction chapter of "Baoyang Notes" and some photos of Zhang Daoting to Weibo.
A large number of netizens who just finished Baoyangguan poured into the official blog of Baoyangguan, calling on the official blog to post more photos of the other two Taoists who participated in the World Peace Dharma Conference. Zhang Daoting posted enough.
Some netizens were sharp-eyed and found that under the first Weibo of Baoyangguan, the account certified as the official blog of Donglin Temple actually congratulated Baoyangguan on its entry into Weibo.
Donglin Temple is the ancestral court of the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, and it is also a quite large temple. Of course, not to mention the size, it is very scary to say that it is a Buddhist temple, and it comes to have a relationship with the Taoist temple. what's going on
Netizens of famous detectives started to frantically browse the Weibo of Donglin Temple in addition to leaving messages to ask questions. Netizens with good memory really found clues.
A photo of an old monk lecturing the scriptures. The Weibo post introduced that this is Master Lian Tan of Donglin Temple.
"I said it was familiar, and when I saw him, I remembered it completely. This is not the monk who was beaten by the Taoist priests a few months ago. I compared it. Among those Taoist priests, there are people who hold the view of Yang [laughs] cry] doesn't seem to be surprised..."
—At the beginning, Xie Lingya went out with the Diyang Taoist group, and met Liantan in the city where the Jade Palace was located. A group of Taoist priests returned his mobile phone to him, which was photographed by passers-by and went viral on Weibo.
But at that time, everyone just looked at the battle, and didn't pay attention to the characters inside.
After many days, the case was solved. Lian Tan's face is very obvious, and if you zoom in on the picture, you can clearly see the faces of Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan. They are not frontal, but they are definitely the two of them.
"I'm going hahahahaha! Are you all Sherlock Holmes? You can figure it out!"
"Laugh to death, what does that mean, don't you know each other if you don't fight?"
"I just said, how come Guan and the temple still have friendship??"
"I've taken it. I've turned this picture before, but I didn't expect it."
At this time, the official Bo of Donglin Temple arrived late, and finally replied to everyone, explaining the situation: "A few months ago, our temple worked hand in hand with Baoyang Temple, Jade Palace and other temples to fight illegal cults. The scene in the picture is not a beating. , but the Taoist priests picked up the mobile phone of the master of this temple and gave it back to him."
There is still news about Hongyang Road, because the dens are actually in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples, and it is not surprising that the two worlds of Buddhism and Taoism are involved. The report also mentioned a few sentences, which can corroborate the words of the official blog of Donglin Temple.
In this way, it really makes sense.
"I laughed to death and returned my phone, so I was looking at the pictures and talking?"
"But just looking at the picture is really like asking for trouble! You are different!"
"I burst out laughing, it's actually like this!"
"Look at the original forwarding, so what did everyone expect at the beginning..."
"To tell you the truth, it's been a few months since I used this picture with 'cover my bald head and tremble' as an emoji, and I know the truth.
"It's okay, you can continue to use it if you change the word to 'We are all family'."
…
It has been so lively for a long time, in addition to contributing more jokes and emoticons to everyone, the attention of the official blog has also risen. It can also be said that the accumulation of previous incidents broke out.
At this time, a live broadcast platform also came to Xie Lingya and wanted to cooperate.
They hope to be able to live broadcast Baoyangguan's ritual once, and if the effect is good, they also hope to cooperate for a long time in the future.
Xie Lingya followed the Daoist group and had seen livestreamed rituals in other Taoist temples. This is also the current trend. Many Taoist temples have not yet launched WeChat remote incense offerings. Believers who were unable to attend the event participated in the ritual through their mobile phones.
Of course, this live broadcast platform is obviously not to help them communicate with believers in the new media era, but simply to take advantage of the popularity to live broadcast.
But no matter what their purpose is, there is always an opportunity for Baoyangguan, especially when Xie Lingya is interested in seeking investment.
The only thing he considered was that he was afraid that he had no experience and the live broadcast effect would not be good. Instead, he smashed his own signboard and asked the platform's docking staff with a hint of hesitation, "Our Taoist Temple has never done such an activity, I am more worried, Can you let me think about it again, I'm afraid it won't work."
The other party quickly persuaded: "Of course it's okay to think about it, but Teacher Xie, you have to have confidence in your face!"
Xie Lingya: "???"
