"What happened to the passers-by, the most powerful master in martial arts novels is still an unknown monk." Shen Changan coughed dryly, interrupting the quarrel between the master and the apprentice, "According to the relevant regulations of the state, other people do not have the permission of the master. Don't break into the master's private space. In addition, we respect religious beliefs, but it is forbidden to preach in public. If the two priests have any problems, they can discuss them in private."
Close the door and fight, just don't pull him into the water.
"Young man, I see that you have extraordinary qualifications. Are you interested in studying Taoism with me?" The old man quickly changed his tune and changed his theory of religion to a theory of doctrine, "Taoism is also a part of philosophy, and we can discuss the philosophy of life and the meaning of life together. ."
Shen Changan: "Thank you, I may not have the talent to be a philosopher."
The old man didn't seem to want to let go of his plan to talk about the philosophy of life with Shen Changan, and still persuaded: "Come to our side, I can offer a high salary..."
"You can pull it down, your broken Taoist temple, there are not many pilgrims throughout the year, and it is barely maintained by the support of the association." Huangpao Taoist glanced at the car parked on the side of the road, "I think you should go back early. , An extra hour will cost you an extra rental fee.”
"Yeah, when you rented a car to pick up the business, didn't you almost get into a fight with someone because of the one-hour rental fee?" The old man was a little embarrassed and said, "If not You were beaten by the rental car driver to the point of crying and crying because of the help of those junk brothers and sisters that you said."
General Manager Wang stared blankly at this scene. He just wanted to call the police and arrest the troubled Taoist priest. How did the old Taoist priest want to take Mr. Shen as his apprentice? He turned his head to look at Mr. Shen, the other party was blank, obviously confused by this sudden change.
"Mr. Shen?" Manager Wang walked over to Shen Changan, "There are people coming and going outside, why don't we go in and talk about it?"
Hearing the word "Go in", the Taoist priest in Huangpao's eyes lit up, staring at Shen Changan with burning eyes, as if Shen Changan did not agree, he pressed his head to agree.
Pretending not to see the eyes of Taoist priest Huangpao, Shen Changan nodded: "Okay."
Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief. The police car and the police were standing at the gate. If someone with bad intentions took a photo, he said that someone from their company had done something wrong, and the trouble would affect the entire company.
The group entered the reception room, and the Taoist priest in yellow robe took the opportunity to take out the compass hidden in his sleeve, but the pointer on the compass didn't move at all, his face became more and more ugly, and he didn't even hear the police telling him to put the compass away.
How could this be
There is no ghost in this building and it is very clean.
"Impossible, this is impossible..." Huangpao Taoist shook the compass in his hand, "This must be broken."
Walking into the reception room, the old man glanced at Taoist Huangpao who was still playing with the compass: "I thought you would make a lot of progress after running outside for so many years, but I didn't expect it to be like this. You are making trouble at the door of this company. After so long, didn't you realize that there is no ghost here at all?"
Daoist Huangpao was stunned, he looked up at the old man: "Have you seen it already?"
But why did the elder tell him with great certainty that there is an evil ghost here, and as long as he takes this evil ghost into custody, he will get countless merits
Over the past few years, the old senior has given him countless pointers, and he has never made a mistake. Why is there such an obvious mistake this time
"In the past few years, you have become more and more famous outside, but your skills have not grown. I don't know what you have encountered, and I don't want to care about you. Thinking about the relationship between master and apprentice in the past, I will persuade you a lot, it is too much Paranoid people will not end well in the end."
"You're not paranoid. When you see poor ghosts, you burn paper money for them." Daoist Huangpao's heart was a little unstable. Hearing the old man say this, he couldn't help but retort, "These years, you have relied on tolerance and gentleness. , have you lived a prosperous life?"
"That's all." The old man sighed, "You and I have nothing to say. You can walk your own way in the future. I hope that the next time I hear from you, it will not be bad news."
The reception room was quiet, Shen Changan sat in the corner, and extracted some information from the conversation between the master and the apprentice. The aptitude of this Huangpao Taoist should not be considered particularly good, otherwise his master would not say such things.
But he saw the arrogance of a cultivator towards ordinary people in this Daoist in yellow robe. Perhaps in his eyes, ordinary people are not worth taking a second look at, and even cultivators who are not as capable as him are objects of his contempt.
Such a person, perhaps after a period of inferiority complex, will become extraordinarily proud after rising to prominence.
"Two Taoist priests, it seems that today's affairs are all misunderstandings." Shen Changan showed a harmless smile, "The reason for the rumors about this company being haunted has already been found out. It's just that the computer system was implanted. Trojan horse. After patching the loopholes in the system, all the news about the haunting phenomenon has been made. This Taoist priest may have believed it because he heard the rumors on the Internet. "
"Some of the self-media, which has no bottom line, likes to add fuel to the news to arouse the public's attention and discussion." Shen Changan glanced at Manager Wang, who was sitting next to him, "Master Dao, you come to the company every three days. There are ghosts at the door, which has a great impact on the company's reputation. The person in charge of the company can sue you and demand financial compensation from you."
The Taoist priest in Huangpao glanced at Shen Changan from the corner of his eye, but did not speak.
"However, as a cultivator, how could the Taoist master swear that there are ghosts here because of some rumors on the Internet?" Shen Changan shook his head and sighed, "Although you may have a good heart, there are rumors about ghosts on the Internet. There are too many, if you believed each one, would you…”
Shen Changan didn't finish his words, but the Taoist priest Huangpao felt that he was calling himself a fool.
"Are you laughing at me?" The anger in the Huangpao Taoist priest's heart was like a small flame met with oil, rubbing straight up, "Do you think I am one of those fools with no brains?!"
Manager Wang nodded silently beside him, looking not only stupid, but also a little nervous.
"What do you know, I have..."
Shen Chang installs as if he doesn't care about the answer, but the other party swallows the words halfway through. He was a little disappointed in his heart. It seemed that there were other people behind this Taoist priest, and this person also knew that Chen Yuan's soul had been lingering in this company and did not leave.
If he hadn't come to this company a few days ago, only Zhang Gu would have come to collect the ghosts. In the end, was Chen Yuan taken away by Zhang Gu, or did his grievance suddenly erupt, and he became a ghost and injured Zhang Gu
"This Taoist priest, when did you start making trouble?" Shen Changan asked Manager Wang in a low voice.
"Speaking of which is irritating. In the early morning of the night when you helped us find out the loopholes, he told the guard of the company what was wrong. After the guard drove him away, he came to make trouble every day." Speaking of this, Manager Wang I have lingering fears. Fortunately, Mr. Shen found out the problem of the company that day, otherwise he might really believe the Taoist priest's words.
He came the night he and Zhang Gu left with Chen Yuan, the otaku ghost
Coincidence or good timing
"That night was the time when the evil spirits awakened, you delayed me to catch the ghosts..."
"Mr. Taoist, please be awake, there are no ghosts in this company." Manager Wang couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted, "You lie too much, even you believe it?"
Daoist Huangpao wanted to scold the other for ignorance, but when he thought that there was no ghost in this company, his complexion turned pale and pale, and after a while he said, "Maybe it was the ghost who saw that someone wanted to arrest him and escaped ahead of time."
He said this with a bit of a guilty conscience. If a dead ghost wants to become a serious ghost who harms one party, he must pay attention to the right time and place.
If that ghost leaves this company, the possibility of becoming a serious ghost will be greatly reduced. But, who took the ghost away
He didn't believe that senior would lie to him, so something must have gone wrong.
"Have other masters been to your company in recent days?" He looked at Manager Wang, still not giving up.
"No, no." Manager Wang was so annoyed by him that he stood up and said to the two police officers: "Comrade police, I still have some work to do, and there will be staff here to handle it."
"Okay." The two police officers also sympathized with the manager of this company. In addition, this branch company is attracting investment and provides jobs for some local people, so they don't want to make each other too embarrassed.
Seeing Manager Wang leaving, the Taoist priest in Huangpao suddenly stopped making trouble. He turned to look at Shen Changan: "Could it be you?"
"Yes, it's me." Shen Changan nodded, and just when the Taoist priest in yellow robe was about to change his face, he continued, "Didn't I tell you just now that I found out the system problem of this company?"
"That's not what I said." The Taoist Huangpao suddenly remembered that although his master was useless, he would never deliberately say that a passerby had good aptitude in order to attack him, "Did you take that ghost away?"
"Daoist, don't make such a joke." Facing the scrutinizing eyes of the two policemen, Shen Changan was shocked, "What is the ghost, what is the age, where does the ghost come from in the world."
Seeing Shen Changan's helpless expression, the two policemen had no choice but to say, "This is a staff member of the Civil Service Department." Their usual job is to break down feudal superstitions and promote science for the common people. How could they be involved in ghosts and gods.
In the end, the Taoist priest in Huangpao was taken away by the police. Because of his bad attitude and refusal to admit his fault, he was detained for seven days and fined 1,500 yuan. By the way, he was also published in the local newspaper.
A rumor spread quickly in the local area, saying that there were fake Taoists cheating money, taking out a talisman and letting people smell it would make people lose their minds and give all valuables to the fake Taoist.
This rumor spreads very fast, especially among the middle-aged and elderly groups, it has become a hot topic. The real Taoists were devastated by this rumor. Taoists with online platform accounts came forward one after another, and gave netizens some knowledge such as "how to dismantle fake Taoists" and "what should we do when encountering fake Taoists". The rumors broke my heart.
Shen Changan didn't care much about these things on the Internet. After he went back, he discussed it with Uncle Zhang and Yan Yin. These two are people in the metaphysics circle, and it is definitely much easier than him to check the past life of the Taoist Huangpao.
"Alas." Uncle Zhang glanced at the otaku ghost who was sitting on the sofa and eating and eating, he really couldn't imagine what it would be like for him to become a serious ghost.
Realizing that Uncle Zhang was looking at him, the otaku raised his head and smiled at him.
Uncle Zhang: "..."
"Let's make an analogy. For example, the person behind the Taoist priest thought that Chen Yuan might become a ghost, so he asked the Taoist priest to hunt the ghost, but has he ever thought that maybe the Taoist priest is not Chen Yuan's opponent at all, but instead It may become Chen Yuan's nourishment." Zhang Gu thought for a while, "No matter how you think about it, I think that person has bad intentions."
"Maybe he wanted that Taoist priest to be nourishment." Shen Changan frowned, "I always feel that the person behind him actually wants Chen Yuan to become a ghost."
"What good does it do for Chen Yuan to become a Specter?" Uncle Zhang said, "You can't eat or drink, and you can't use it as a Servant. A ghost with a special character like Chen Yuan, if he becomes a Specter, it will only cause trouble later. Infinite, if the ghost in the underworld is too late, I don’t know how many people in the field of metaphysics will be damaged before he can be subdued.”
"However, in the book of life and death, his yang life is not yet exhausted. If he really incarnates into a ghost..." It is definitely impossible for the police to find out in time. Thinking of this, Zhang Gu's face became extremely ugly, and the thoughts of the people behind this were so vicious.
"Doing this kind of thing that harms others and not oneself, not only damages Yin's virtue, but also bears the karma, what does that person want?"
"Normal people can never guess the thoughts of a lunatic." Shen Changan turned to look at Yan Yin, who had never spoken, "Master, what are your thoughts?"
"The humble monk was just thinking, if Donor Shen didn't bring back the soul of Donor Chen Yuan that day, that person's plan might have succeeded." Yan Yin looked at Shen Changan with eagerness, "Donor Shen really helped the world. The life-saving character, seriously..."
"Don't think about it, thank you." Shen Changan decisively refused, the barbecue is so delicious, the food stalls are so lively, the hot pot is so delicious, it is impossible to become a monk, and it is impossible to become a monk if you kill him.
"That's all." Yan Yin felt a little regretful, "Then I'll ask you next time."
Shen Changan: "Master, even if you ask me countless times, I won't change my mind. Don't you all say that your family needs to be pure in the six senses, and everything should not be attached
"Yes." Hearing Shen Changan's words, Yan Yin said confidently, "That's why I have practiced for so many years, but I haven't yet become a Buddha. Maybe after you convert to Buddhism, Lord Shen, I will be able to have an epiphany and become a Buddha."
Shen Changan: "..."
Well, he still chooses to shut up.
"I don't know if Lord Chenghuang has found out the whole story." Shen Changan counted the days, three or four days had passed, Lord Chenghuang had neither cast a dream on him nor appeared in front of him, could it be that I can't find the truth, so I'm sorry to see him.
Hearing the word "Chenghuang", Yan Yin and Uncle Zhang's expressions were a little subtle, and Uncle Zhang couldn't help but say, "Xiao Shen, since you don't want to cultivate Buddha, should you consider cultivating the Tao? , it’s really not good, you can still be a registered disciple, eat what you need to eat, drink what you need to drink, and learn Taoism, won’t you kill two birds with one stone?”
"I usually like to eat braised beef." Shen Changan declined politely.
"The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Tao remains in my heart." Uncle Zhang coughed dryly, "Just don't eat it in front of me."
"Amitabha." Yan Yin was amazed. He didn't expect that in order to pull the donor Shen into the circle of metaphysics, Zhang Daoyou's bottom line was so low that there was no bottom line. Fortunately, Shen Changan was able to ask the gods. Only the three of them knew about it. If it spread to the metaphysics circle, I am afraid that there would be a big show of thousands of people writing blood books asking for cultivation outside Shen Changan's gate.
"Uncle Zhang..." Shen Changan smiled awkwardly, and finally chose to tell the truth, "I'm sorry, I don't have much interest in Fu Shuiyi. What's more, for me, ghosts are not very different from people. Not learning doesn't seem to have much of an impact."
Uncle Zhang fell silent eerily, and after a long time he said: "Yeah, I forgot, you can catch the plague ghost with your bare hands, what kind of Taoism do you need to learn."
"What kind of plague ghost?" Shen Changan was a little puzzled when he heard this, "When did I catch the plague ghost?"
"Did you catch a gangster on Halloween night?"
"Yes." Shen Changan still had some impressions of that person, after all, it was not common for people to make themselves so disgusting.
"That... is the plague ghost." Uncle Zhang looked at Shen Changan's eyes slowly widening, showing an unbelievable look, and slowly threw out a sentence, "In order to catch this plague ghost, we sent a lot of cultivators, but he still escaped. already."
"So, what do you mean to say..." The man who was beaten up by him a few punches was a plague ghost that the entire cultivation world couldn't catch
Although Uncle Zhang and Yan Yin didn't want to admit it so much, they nodded silently.
"It's no wonder that I just caught a gangster, and they not only specially awarded me the award, but also let the entire department receive the bonus." Shen Changan suddenly realized, "I just said why I caught a thief or a gangster later and didn't give me any more. I got a bonus, so there is still this one."
Thinking about the situation that day, he couldn't believe that the man who seemed to be mentally abnormal was the plague ghost, because he was... too weak.
"Could it be that we are too yang in the world, so I was caught so easily?" In order to save the face of the metaphysicians, Shen Changan found a reason for them, "After all, we are all fighting now. After getting the vaccine, the vaccine is his nemesis, so when he comes to the world, he is weak."
"impossible… "
Uncle Zhang's words were interrupted by the ringing of the phone, and Shen Changan's phone rang.
"Brother Liu?"
"Now?" Shen Changan glanced at Uncle Zhang and the others, "Okay, wait for me for ten minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Changan took a few bags of snacks and a few bottles of Coke to the otaku ghost, and smiled apologetically to Uncle Zhang: "I'm sorry, my friend invited me to have a late night snack, I'll go first."
Uncle Zhang thought of Shen Changan's mysterious and generous friend, and nodded silently.
When Shen Changan ran downstairs, he saw Liu Mao parked his car outside the community, stretched out his hand and opened the car door and sat in: "Brother Liu, why did Daonian suddenly think of eating barbecue?"
"Just now, Mr. remembered that you like to eat barbecue, and was worried about the unsanitary things outside, so he asked Lao Zhao to set up the barbecue grill, make the meat skewers, and wait for you to eat." Liu Mao waited for Shen Changan to fasten his seat belt. , before starting the car, "Lao Zhao doesn't say anything else, his cooking skills must be first-class."
The topic unknowingly changed from whether to go to Daonian's house for supper, and quickly developed into what to eat tonight. When passing by a fruit shop, Shen Changan found that there was a shop selling fried chestnuts at the door of the shop, and quickly got out of the car and bought two copies.
"Mr. Shen, what are you buying this for?"
"Dao Nian likes to eat this."
Liu Mao was stunned for a while, how could Mr. But when he saw in the rearview mirror that Shen Changan took off his coat and wrapped the fried chestnuts so that they would not cool too quickly, he fell silent again.
Maybe the husband doesn't like the fried chestnuts, he likes the idea of taking off his coat and covering the chestnuts in order to ensure the taste of the fried chestnuts.
When the car stopped at the intersection and waited for the traffic light, Shen Changan saw an old lady slowly crossing the sidewalk. The old lady looked familiar.
Shen Changan glanced at the traffic lights with only two or three seconds left, sighed, pulled down the door and walked down.
Walking to the old man's side, Shen Changan bent over and said, "Mother-in-law, why are you alone this time?"
The old woman watched him carefully for a long time, and said in an old voice, "Are you the guy who carried me across the street last time?"
"Do you still know me?" Shen Changan carried the old woman on his back and walked quickly to the street, "It's cold at night in winter and the road is dark, so try to avoid going out as much as possible."
The old woman lay on his back and said with a smile, "No way, I have to go out today."
"Then next time you want to go out and cross the street, try to find as many people as possible." After crossing the zebra crossing, Shen Changan put down the old woman, "Mother-in-law, be careful on the road, I'll go back to the car."
"Wait." The old woman suddenly grabbed Shen Changan's hand, "Young man, you are so kind, your kindness should be rewarded."
"I am a staff member of the Civil Service Department, and I should serve the people." Shen Changan smiled, turned around and prepared to rush back.
"Remember, don't trust others easily." The old woman stood there and looked at his leaving back, her voice hoarse, "Be careful, don't let..."
"Don't let anything?" When Shen Changan looked back, the old lady was smiling at him, as if she didn't say anything.
"Mr. Shen." Liu Mao, who didn't know when he got out of the car, waved to Shen Changan, "It's cold outside, you're not wearing a coat, hurry up and get in the car."
"Coming soon." Shen Changan waved at the old woman, turned and ran towards Liu Mao at a quick pace.
Liu Mao turned to meet the old woman's gaze, Liu Mao nodded slightly towards her, the old woman took a step back, looked at Shen Changan getting into the car with complicated eyes, and then slowly disappeared into the night.
She slowly turned to face the zebra crossing, hobbled across the street as she waited for the next car to pass.
One car after another drove past her, and some car owners yelled at her, making her a lot older, so don't affect the traffic.
No one stopped for her, helped her or carried her through the sparsely populated street.
"Mr. Shen, do you know that old lady?" Liu Mao asked.
"I don't know. When I went back from Daonian's house last time, I also met this old lady crossing the street. There were a lot of cars that day. Some drivers were in a hurry and kept honking their horns. I was afraid that she would fall, so I got out of the car. Carry her over."
"Aren't you afraid she touches porcelain?"
"There's a camera, not to mention that I'm so poor, how can I let people touch porcelain?" Shen Changan smiled, "But please rest assured."
The author has something to say: Chang'an friendship reminder: I am the hero with a special physique. But everyone should be safe and don't be touched.
