Part-Time Taoist Priest

Chapter 79: Pray for blessings

Views:

"What a joke, am I not confident about my face?" Xie Lingya said to the other end of the phone, "I just want to conquer everyone with my talent... So Abbot Fang, can you give me some advice?"

Xie Lingya is calling Fang Xushan. Now, no matter Buddhism or Taoism, formal or private religious activities, many live broadcasts are held. It is also to facilitate overseas believers and attract more people from other regions.

However, most Taoist temples that are not well-known will choose to set up their own websites or cooperate with Taoist websites to conduct live broadcasts.

And what Xie Lingya knew and cooperated with the platform was the Jade Palace. The last time he went there with the Dao Group, he saw the scene once, and the number of people online was tens of thousands.

Fang Xushan said intimately over there: "I'll send you a copy of the preparation materials in our palace. It's actually not difficult. If you cooperate with the live broadcast platform, they will also remind you of the precautions."

Xie Lingya hummed a few times and asked a few more questions. Fang Xushan answered them one by one, telling him to pay attention to talking with the platform.

After Xie Lingya came down, he turned around and told them that he agreed.

After counting the auspicious days, a few days later, I notified on Weibo: At some point on November 23, xx, on the day when Nandou descended, a blessing ceremony was held at Baoyang Temple. Participate in the live broadcast, fill in the palindrome, pray together, and experience the Taoist fasting ritual culture.

The believers who attend the puja on the spot must write prayers, and those who watch online can also participate by filling in the electronic palindrome on the live broadcast page and providing their own information.

There is also a template in the information sent by the Jade Palace, to the effect that disciple XX would like to participate in the online live broadcast of the ceremonial meeting today, to practice merit together, and to pray for everything.

There are so many live-streamed rituals, but there are really few that make a big splash, because most of the attention is paid to believers, or at least people who are usually more interested. A Fa conference lasts for a long time, can you watch it if you are not interested

But Baoyangguan has not only had a wave of presence recently, but also like the staff said, have confidence in Xie Lingya's appearance. After it was announced that he was the master of high power, according to the feedback, many people really decided to watch the live broadcast. And these belonged to a whole new audience, not a group that was inherently Taoist or interested.

And Xie Lingya chose the day of Nandou's descent to hold a blessing ceremony, not simply considering the universality, but also hoped to take this opportunity to pray for a small amount of longevity with Nandou's longevity lantern.

Nandou Lord Shoulu, is the house of longevity, prolonging life and eliminating disasters, resolving grievances and gathering blessings.

With the size of the Baoyang Temple, it is naturally impossible to hold a large-scale puja. Considering the preferences of the audience, Xie Lingya, Shi Changxuan and Zhang Daoting are the main ones, and the others play music and chanting.

This is Xie Lingya's first time as the master of the law. Before that, he either assisted or held a death-saving law meeting in private.

For this live broadcast, Xie Lingya also wanted to order robes, so he had to consult a professional. However, many vestments on the market are of average quality, and they look like those who sing opera. Xie Lingya had seen Shi Changxuan's family, so he was a little worried.

Shi Changxuan's family's robes are all made by himself, and even the patterns are specially drawn by himself. Now it's too late to rush to work. Shi Changxuan directly asks his family to send one over, which is the light goose yellow one that Xie Lingya wore last time. The robe, but since it was given to him, the shoulders and sleeve lengths have to be slightly modified to fit better.

On the day of the Fa conference, Xie Lingya adjusted the camera position with the staff sent by the live broadcast platform in advance.

Today, the puja at Baoyang Temple is no longer the same as it used to be. There are only a few dozen people participating in the big event. Not to mention the onlookers, there are two or three hundred people who sign up to participate in the prayers. batch operation.

Seeing that the time was about to start, Xie Lingya changed into the robes and went out from the inner courtyard. At this time, there were already many people gathered in the temple, and the gate was still restricting traffic - mainly because the venue was too small. However, the small building is about to be built, and there is a hall dedicated to doing things, which will be much looser.

Xie Lingya walked under the eaves while holding his hat, but he saw an old man with a very familiar face, and immediately blurted out: "Principal Mi?"

He was startled, isn't this old man Mi, the principal of their school

Although Xie Lingya helped the professor's community to exorcise evil spirits, caught ghosts for the seniors, and invited the classmates to drink tea, he did not expect to meet the principal at the scene of the ritual.

The other party was also surprised, and when he took a closer look at Xie Lingya's face, he actually recognized it.

—When Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan met him and President Gao together earlier, Xie Lingya also pretended to be a student from a foreign school. Principal Mi didn’t remember that time, but Xie Lingya’s deeds during the postgraduate entrance examination were too famous. Principal Mi saw it. His photos are memorable.

Principal Mi is in charge of so many teachers and students, and he can't remember more. Naturally, he doesn't know where Xie Lingya works. He looked at Xie Lingya a little confusedly and said, "Aren't you a student of the first grade? The one who vomited blood, you are this … part-time jobs?”

I forgot the name, but I remember the sign very clearly, the one that vomited blood during the exam.

Xie Lingya: "…"

Xie Lingya also said hesitantly, "...That's right."

Principal Mi came with people. He is not religious himself, but his friends have faith. This time, he came to pray for blessings and called him. He was just watching the fun. After all, Baoyangguan was quite popular.

Principal Mi's friend said in amazement, "Old Mi, do you still know Master Xie?"

The information on the main law of the Fa conference has been publicized, how could his friend not know who Xie Lingya is.

Principal Mi was even more stunned when he heard him call a mage. Are their part-time students doing such a good job? Are you still a wizard? Principal Mi didn't think it was right, but after thinking about it, the school did not stipulate that students should not go to practice. This is a formal religious place. He opened his mouth, and finally changed his words: "This is a student of our school's first grade."

"It seems that I heard that Master Xie is in school, but I didn't expect that in your school, it's all my own!" Principal Mi's friends are still quite happy, thinking about the relationship with Principal Mi, it will be more convenient to ask for private legal affairs in the future. .

"That, Principal Mi, I still have to go, I'm sorry." Xie Lingya said awkwardly.

Principal Mi also subconsciously used the attitude towards students: "Go and do it well."

Xie Lingya: "... um."

Xie Lingya walked over ashamed. At this time, the live broadcast had already started, and the number of people had been increasing, especially after seeing Xie Lingya and others appear on the scene.

Set up an altar to light incense and offer sparse texts.

Because the live broadcast platform sent professional photographers, the director often zoomed in on the camera after seeing the response from the live broadcast room.

Before, Xie Lingya only assisted, and there was no close-up camera in the news of Changle Mountain. Unlike now, he could even see the patterns on his clothes clearly.

The believers looked at Xie Lingya's hand-judgment, while the ordinary audience looked at their faces, and each used a bullet screen to discuss their own, but it was irrelevant to each other.

Shi Changxuan has family background, Xie Lingya is gifted, and Zhang Daoting once was in charge of many religious affairs in the temple. He has undergone high-intensity training, and the rituals are impeccable from the outside to the inside.

In the shot, there is an altar and a table around the sanctuary, displaying bright horn lamps, incense burners, fruit bowls and other objects. The tables are surrounded by auspicious embroidery. The mages worship the gods, worship the heaven and the earth, and the robes and robes have large sleeves, and they contrast with the old beams and pillars around them, which is quite ancient.

When it came time to speak, it made many audiences who didn't know it even more interested.

The scriptures are a combination of singing and reciting. In the early days, most of them were recited, with various kinds of praise and praise, accompanied by drumming and other accompaniment.

Later, rhyme was developed, which borrowed the characteristics of tunes such as Gaoqiang and Kunqu Opera. Therefore, if you don't listen carefully to the content of certain passages, you may think that you are reciting opera words.

Of course, what's more important is that the singer is good-looking, the voice is also good, and it is more attractive.

There is also a place where swords are used. After Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan learned swords, their skills became more agile.

Even when he was holding back his laughter, he was still able to get a bit of Shi Changxuan's high-coldness, his complexion was fair, and when he raised his hands, sang and thought, the fireworks in the incense burner were lingering, and the mist was thick.

Every time Xie Lingya made a complicated big move, the barrage always increased suddenly. Even the devotees at the scene watched with their eyes fixed.

Lifting the sword, stepping on the gangway, pinching the sword, writing talismans, flying up and down the light goose-yellow vestments, or singing, clear and pleasant.

"... It's actually so good, it's like Kunqu Opera!"

"I really hear a bit of drama, it's pretty good, and I can play swords."

"I just went to fill in the palindrome, as long as you give me the money to buy the lamp, I will give it to this voice!"

"I really like the way a few Taoist priests chanting spells, why are they so handsome QAQ"

"Gao Gong's cloth has a good rhyme."

"Blessed immeasurable Tianzun, the hand is very good and standard!!"

"Master Xie Nianbai is so charming... This southern style Susu...

"It seems that Taoist music really draws on the characteristics of Kunqu Opera, as well as Jiangnan Sizhu. I feel that after the fusion, it is not as delicate and slow as Kunqu Opera, but it has more religious colors, and it has a different taste under the blessing."

"Is this the Taoist fasting ritual? Pay attention!"

Those who understand praise the standard of rituals, and those who don't understand also find it pleasing to the eye and immortal.

"Nandou Du'e is the pivot of the sky. Quietness is used to transport and transform, and products are exchanged for prosperity and decline. Wenchang Binghuan, with government books. Turning misfortunes into blessings, being my Dan Cha. Refining the soul and guarding the spirit, protecting the soul and the body. The sky is peaceful, The calamity will be wiped out. The Dao Qi will last forever, and the Holy Truth will live with you." Xie Lingya read the white chanting, the whole process was about two hours, and the whole ritual was over.

If it wasn't for Xie Lingya's ability to use his voice, his voice would have been hiss now.

After Xie Lingya greeted the believers at the scene, he approached the camera again and looked at the barrage on the tablet computer. He found that the comments were not bad, and the number of people remained at 50,000 or 60,000. He couldn't help laughing.

"Recite the last sentence again?" Xie Lingya read out a barrage, and then said casually, "According to the style, build a star altar, prepare incense, lanterns, candles, and surrender to the Great Sacred Palace Nandou Tianji. Book Dali True Monarch."

"How did it come down? It's just like that."

"It's really like singing, because it borrows elements of the tune. Why? Don't let the gods listen too dry to the sky, and don't let the audience feel too boring for the ground."

"You have a cold, can you pray for good luck? Wouldn't it be good for you to buy cold medicine with the money for the lamp? I'm not saying it doesn't work, but if it can be solved with medicine, why bother Nan Dou Xing-jun, they only come down a few times a year. , it's not easy."

Xie Lingya interacted with everyone and then left. As the main skill, he consumed the most physical strength and was a little tired after two hours of activity. Then Zhang Daoting was forced to answer questions. It is reasonable to say that the answers were all related to Taoism. There are a lot of unrelated questions on the screen.

However, in general, the live broadcast was very successful, not only did not lose a large number of audiences due to the lengthy legal affairs, but brought in many new audiences.

Mainly because of the recent popularity of Baoyangguan, the propaganda was in place. At first, I didn't go there and then I heard that the singing of the scriptures was very good, and many people also went to watch it.

Watching the puja in the form of live broadcast, although the solemnity of the religious ceremony is not as profound as when you are present in person, it is also quite infectious. After all, the mages can work hard.

"Little quantity, how do you feel?" Xie Lingya returned to the room in the backyard and asked about Xiaoliang's feelings.

A small amount of scratching his head: "It seems... I don't feel anything."

Xie Lingya pondered: "I don't know if it's successful or not. It stands to reason that today's worship is the most effective. I'll ask about Yinsi when I look back."

At this time, Xie Lingya heard a commotion, and hurriedly went out the door to see that it was because there were too many people, and someone in front was squeezed and fell over.

This is what I am most afraid of every time a large-scale event is carried out. It is not prevented by every precaution. Fortunately, it is only a person who falls, and there is no stampede accident. Xie Lingya hurriedly called Hai Guanchao, and the Taoist priest in front also helped him to the back.

Xie Lingya looked at it, "Principal Mi?"

Principal Mi said ashamedly: "I'm getting old, I accidentally..."

His friend said angrily, "Someone tripped, and I almost fell. I don't know how to walk, and I can't see who it is."

At this time, Hai Guanchao and Fang Zhe also came. When Hai Guanchao saw that the wound was quite big, he said to Fang Zhe, "Come here."

He wanted FangZhe to use the Hemostatic Charm.

Xie Lingya hurriedly said: "This is our principal, use a scientific method!"

Hai Guanchao heard it, okay, let's use modern conventional methods of hemostasis.

Principal Mi was puzzled: "Why, is there an unscientific method?"

Xie Lingya did not speak for a while.

Principal Mi's friend clapped his hands: "Are you the doctor at the clinic at the back? Lao Mi, I told you, I have a friend who sees a doctor at his place, and he has a strange disease that has plagued him for a long time. This doctor will take care of him at once. , and let someone chanted a spell on him."

Of course, Principal Mi remembered. At that time, he smiled and didn't speak, but he was muttering in his heart why this Chinese medicine doctor got more and more confused and went back, making him look like a witch doctor in ancient times.

But at this time, when they found out that they were in contact with the students of the school, Principal Mi couldn't help but said: "Your spells are learned from Taoism? This classmate, where you work part-time..."

He originally thought that it was okay for students to work in formal religious places. Like the rituals just now, they could be regarded as a kind of cultural heritage, but reciting mantras to cure diseases was too unreliable.

"No, but Taoist temples also have hemostasis spells, do you want to try theirs?" Hai Guanchao said indifferently, "Both are quite normal, and the spells will cure diseases."

Principal Mi: "..."

Regular two words, like a joke.

Xie Lingya knew that Hai Guanchao was saying this because Principal Mi was questioning his "part-time job", so he said silently: "Principal Mi, that is... a folk remedies."

Is mantra a folk remedy? How could he not believe it. Principal Mi looked at Xie Lingya and thought.

However, Principal Mi's friend instigated: "Then try it, I want to see it."

Just chanting incantations, and not using any strange drugs. While Principal Mi was still thinking, Xie Lingya touched his injured area and chanted a spell. With this thought in mind, Principal Mi gave up the stop with just "hey".

"Holding the bell, ling orchid, and phoenix tail grass in my hand, it will stop the blood flow in the river. The external blood will not enter, and the internal blood will not flow. I obey the order of the Supreme Laojun!" Xie Lingya recited another hemostasis spell. But the effect was equally good. Cursed Principal Mi's wound instantly stopped bleeding, making him and his friends amazed.

"This... this..." Principal Mi was speechless after seeing the visible hemostasis of the wound.

Although I have heard many anecdotes, I have to see it believing. When it happened to me, Principal Mi dared to believe that chanting a spell can really stop the bleeding.

He has received scientific education for so many years, and he is also engaged in education, so how can he look directly at this kind of "folk remedies".

Principal Mi's friend said happily: "Master, doctor, I sometimes have tinnitus, can it be cured?"

"Tinnitus? I'll give you a pulse." Hai Guanchao felt the pulse of the person, pondered for a moment, and then said to Fang Zhe, "Come on."

Fang Ze heard that this was something he could cure, and without saying a word, he covered the man's ear with the wrong hand and asked, "How?"

At first, nothing was paid, but after two or three seconds, the man suddenly said, "Open, my ears are ringing..."

Are you healing or making people sick

After thinking about it, Fang Zhe rubbed his ear and said, "Chizi is in the palace, Jiuzhen is in the room. Please listen to God's orders and show the unknown. It is too bright to destroy all evils."

After reciting, the person only felt the heat in his cheeks, which reached the roots of his ears and the eyes of his ears, as if the heat was running through the orifices of his ears.

"There will be no tinnitus in the future." Fang Ze wiped his hands, this man's ears were a little greasy.

Principal Mi watched Hai Guanchao wrap his wound, and suddenly woke up: "I remembered, have we met before, you gave Mr. Gao a talisman!"

When Xie Lingya saw that he suddenly remembered this, he could only admit, "Hehehe... It was me. I hadn't been admitted to graduate school at that time."

"It turned out to be you." Principal Mi sighed, "You chanted the spell just now, and I vaguely remembered that there is another mage, is it also from our school, and it seemed to be with you last time."

Xie Lingya: "Yes, he is a bit professional, from the Department of Religion."

Principal Mi laughed, "Our school is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." He thought about it and said to Xie Lingya, "By the way, what kind of feng shui would you like to see? The school is going to build a new dormitory building."

He adapted quickly, and when he found out that Xie Lingya and the others were really unscientific, he immediately thought of school.

"Yes, but it will take a few days to see." Xie Lingya said hesitantly.

Because even the most seriously injured small amount is almost better, Xie Lingya wants to go to Youdu Mountain. Shi Changxuan mentioned last time that maybe the creatures in Youdu Mountain can help them find the Youdu that escaped from the underworld. the son of.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be in a hurry." Principal Mi thought that he had other things to do.

For the sake of the principal and the principal's friend, Xie Lingya took two talismans and gave them some dates when he left.

The principal's friend said cautiously: "I heard that Sa Tianshi's disciples can spell jujube art, and eating jujube cures all diseases."

Xie Lingya: "Uh, no, I just bought the jujube, sweet."

Everyone: "… "

The principal's friend smiled embarrassedly and politely: "Oh, I handed it over with the talisman, I thought what was that..."

After sending the people away, Zhang Daoting also came back after handling the follow-up matters of the live broadcast, and said, "Mr. Xie, the live broadcast platform said that in the future, they all want to live broadcast our large-scale pujas."

Although their live broadcast of ritual events is effective, the traffic is not explosive. After all, it is only a traditional ritual event, and Xie Lingya can't live stream catching ghosts. However, since they are above the horizontal line, even in order to enrich the variety of live broadcasts, they are willing to cooperate for a long time.

Judging from the number of people who filled in the palindrome this time, it is no wonder that so many temples have started to do live broadcast rituals, such as online incense and lotus lantern offerings, which are really a great tool to attract foreign believers.

In particular, the transition from a small temple that can attract local believers to a large temple that can attract people from other places is an excellent transition.

"Okay, there is information at the Jade Palace, we will also find an artist, and then make the palindrome pages, posters and the like a little more beautiful." Xie Lingya is a young man after all, and he quickly considered this aspect. The previous layout was simply made on the platform.

"Also, I'm going to go far again, and this time I'll take Fang Zhe away. The rest of you have to be careful. That guy Ma Xiaochuan... Forget it, he may not have the heart to trouble us recently." Xie Lingya pondered.

Not only was it a matter of fortune, Ma Xiaochuan had a lot of pain, and Cheng Xin and the others had made great progress in their investigation. Ning Wanlai provided a lot of help as impermanence, and soon Ma Xiaochuan would be devastated.

Xie Lingya had already stamped a seal on Ning Wanlai, telling him to use his seal to recruit colleagues for help. If not, just call him.

"Brother Fang, let's go too... Okay." Zhang Daoting cheered up, after all, Fang Zhe is the most powerful in combat except for Xie Shi and the other two. Don't look at his inconvenient legs and feet, is the successor of "Luban Book" just boasting.

At this time, Shi Changxuan, who was cleaning the altar, also came back, and he pulled on Xie Lingya's shoulder. Xie Lingya opened his hand and let him take off the robe and fold it.

Xie Lingya continued to instruct a few words and asked, "By the way, what did you say in the live broadcast room later, is the atmosphere okay?"

Zhang Daoting said gloomily: "It's alright, if you have serious questions, you also keep asking Teacher Xie if you have a partner, and if the Taoist priest can get married... I don't dare to take care of this."

"If you ignore the netizens, you will only get more and more energetic, and tell them I have it." Xie Lingya said casually.

Zhang Daoting laughed.

Xie Lingya stared at him: "What are you laughing at, I really do."

Zhang Daoting: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Xie Lingya glanced at Shi Changxuan secretly, this guy was packing his vestments as if nothing had happened.

Everyone was stunned, and after a while, they frantically said, "What a joke!"

"Do you have a partner? When did it happen?"

"Who?"

Xie Lingya hummed a song and turned away, "I won't tell you, I won't tell you..."

Everyone looked at his back, and you said every word.

"It's pure bragging. Teacher Xie is running the train with his mouth full again."

"Don't look at Teacher Xie's glamorous surface, in fact, he doesn't even have an object."

"That's it."

"Right, Dao Master Shi?"
