Shi Yi scratched his head: "No matter what I say now, I want to practice with you, and it's not appropriate to call you an old Taoist. How about I call you a Taoist priest, which sounds more pleasant to me"

"That's fine. My surname is Gao Dan and my last name is Ren. You can call me Daoist Gao or Daoist Gao Ren." Gao Laodao nodded and stroked his beard. The apprentice who doesn't eat oil and salt is much stronger. Thinking of this, Gao Laodao squinted at the fat man

The fat man knew what Gao Laodao was thinking, so he pretended not to see it at the moment, looked up at the sky, and admired the floating clouds in the sky

Shi Yi's face was full of black lines, the name was really too immodest: "Gao Daoist, where will I live in the future, is it in the backyard?"

Shi Yi looked at the moon gate in the corner of the three surrounding stone walls, which seemed to lead to the backyard and other courtyards. It seems that the scale of this Taoist temple is still quite large, but I don't know why there are only two masters and apprentices.

After hearing this, the old Taoist sighed slightly, with a look of loneliness on his face, staring at the hall in a daze

I think the Taoist temple was not called Rushi Temple at the beginning, but Shangqing Temple, which is a righteous sect. Under the management of the masters, Shangqing Temple has a prosperous incense and is famous all over the world. It collects demons and ghosts, and protects one side Safety.

The Shangqing Temple was passed down to the Patriarch's generation, and it was the most prosperous period of the Shangqing Temple. According to legend, the Patriarch used himself as a bait, sacrificed himself, and trapped the last Demon Lord by his side, suppressing him day and night, so that the world would never be over again. Not being threatened by the demons, it seems that since then, the world has been stable, and these Taoist priests who catch ghosts and collect demons are no longer needed.In the generation of Lao Dao, the glory of the past has long passed, and most of the Taoist temples have been abandoned because they have no money to repair. Nowadays, people are fearless, disrespecting ghosts and gods, and the world is stable. The Taoist temple changed its name to this non-Buddhist and non-Taoist name, to deceive ordinary people, earn a few small money by relying on Buddhism and Taoism and doing some unscrupulous rituals, and barely maintain

Seeing that the old man was in a daze, Shi Yi was embarrassed to open his mouth again, the fat man had already finished admiring the floating clouds in the sky, he winked at Shi Yi, and led Shi Yi into the wing room.

Only the old man was left with a desolate face

Patriarch, Patriarch, I have brought back this child named Shi Yi according to the ancestral precepts, what should I do next, will this child really save the world from danger? Daoji is almost lost, who will save us?

When the old Taoist first entered the mountain gate, he was fortunate enough to meet the patriarch, but he was young at that time and had already forgotten what the patriarch looked like, and there were no portraits of the patriarch left in the Taoist temple.Ever since he started to practice, the patriarch took the Demon Venerable around him, saying that he wanted to use the spirit of mountains, rivers and flowing water to cleanse the spirit of sealing the demon from the Demon Venerable. The position of master was passed on to me, and I confessed that after more than 300 years, I found a child named Shi Yi and taught him well, but I could not accept him as a disciple.

The old Taoist laughed, let nature take its course, everything has a way of heaven, that's all.

From then on, Shi Yi practiced with this so-called senior brother who came a few years earlier than him.

Don't look at this fat man who looks unreliable, but he has strong professional ability and is the right-hand man of the old man. However, Shi Yi, facing the old man's earnest teachings, is like a stubborn stone, and has not enlightened at all.After five years, I just simply memorized a few spells, and the old Taoist was so angry that he almost went to drink tea with the past temple masters

The old Taoist didn't understand why Shi Yi, a simple introduction to knowledge, just couldn't remember it. The old Taoist also worked hard. He didn't eat if he couldn't remember it, and he didn't sleep if he couldn't draw a spell. In the end, he almost ended up being famous.The old Taoist gradually gave up, but Shi Yi looked clever, but he was actually a fool

And the matter of checking Shi Yizhao's demon physique was put aside. Fortunately, Shi Yi was in the Taoist temple, and ghosts and monsters dared not approach, so nothing strange happened again.

On this day, the old Taoist handed Shi Yi a cloth bag, Shi Yi opened it, and found that there was a round-frame retro glasses that were very popular recently, and a charm of unknown material, it seems that the old Taoist had taught it before, it should be 36 heavenly gangs Divine talismans, and powders of various colors, including the underworld stone powder that Shi Yi had seen before, and various powders that Shi Yi had forgotten after being taught by the old Taoist priests.

Seeing Shi Yi's guilty look, the old man didn't expect Shi Yi to remember anything.

"Shi Yi, you have been in the Taoist temple for five years. Although you haven't learned anything, our Taoist temple doesn't support idlers. We are about to run out of food. You should go out with your senior brother to make money. In this bag It’s the basic equipment I prepared for you. Both you and your senior brother have it. This glasses is my masterpiece. Even if you don’t have the sky eye, you can see ghosts and gods. It has been refined through 72 processes. , added a small amount of ghost stone powder, and..."

Cough cough, the fat man couldn't help coughing a few times when he saw the old man talking more and more excitedly, and the more he talked, the more he got off topic

"Little fat man, what are you coughing for? Go take medicine if you are sick. The rest are 36 heavenly talismans, some cinnabar, dark stone powder and so on. I won't say anything specifically, anyway, you can't remember. You just watch your senior brother use it, I can’t remember anything…”

The old Taoist talked on and on for a long time, Shi Yi knew he was wrong, and lowered his head to fiddle with various props and charms in the bag.

These 36 Tiangang talismans are the true yang of the sky, which are used to drive away ghosts and demons. In the past, the 36 celestial gang talismans were made of high-quality white marble. Although the effect of exorcising ghosts is remarkable, but because the white marble is fragile and not easy to obtain, and the 36 celestial talismans made of paper did not have so much magic power, it was not popular at that time. In modern times, with the advancement of science and technology, many substances can be extracted , or as a replacement, this Gao Ren can be regarded as inheriting and developing innovations. By analyzing all the items recorded in ancient books that can add power to spells, after calculating the cost, some of the higher cost ones can find their substitutes, which cannot be replaced. Extraction or artificial synthesis, such as white marble with high cost, Lao Dao found that its auxiliary effect is obvious because it has less impurities and sufficient jade gas. Lao Dao bought cheap low-grade jade, ground it into jade powder, removed impurities, and purified it The effect of jade powder is actually the same as that of fine white marble.The old man was full of confidence, and all the items that were difficult to find before but could increase the effect of the spell were extracted according to this method. After countless experiments and ratios, he found the best ratio and added rubber that had no effect. It is said that this is the most powerful talisman in history, but unfortunately, the world is not as good as before, and the old-fashioned talisman has not been popularized.

The old Taoist sighed at last, knowing that Shi Yi didn't listen, he waved his hand at the fat man, signaling the fat man to take Shi down the mountain quickly, and don't bother him in front of him.

The fat man's small eyes lit up, as if he had heard the pardon, he pulled Shi Yi, who was still pretending to pack the package, and left without looking back.

The fat man went all the way to the foot of the mountain, and after making sure that the old Taoist could no longer hear him, he breathed out the energy of the field and shouted: "I finally came back to life!"

In the past five years, the old Taoist has rejected all the business, and taught Shi Yi with all his heart, and even took the fat man to act as a training partner from time to time, pretending to be a ghost and a demon. It's a pity that Shi Yiming was so stubborn that he blinded the old Taoist for nothing. Mind.Seeing that Shi Yi hadn't made much progress, and the Taoist temple had come to an end recently, he sent Shi Yi and Fatty down the mountain to see if there was any business to do.

Seeing Fatty's agitated look, Shi Yi's heart began to agitate. After all, he hadn't been down the mountain for five years. Shi Yi was also very curious about what it was like down the mountain.Along the way, Shi Yi and Fatty felt wind blowing under their feet. It took half of the previous four or five hours to reach the county town this time.

But to Shi Yi's disappointment, the county seat is still the same as it was five years ago, nothing has changed, except for the shorter skirts on the street...

Fatty took Shi Yi to find the house of the former intermediary, who was Fatty's former neighbor, who was eloquent and liked to inquire about other people's privacy. He heard something from his mouth, and the fat man would give him some benefits after the matter was completed. Over time, this neighbor actually tasted the sweetness, and he has been cooperating with the fat man until now

The intermediary was very excited when he saw the fat man. He put on a show and touched his tears, crying and complaining that the fat man hadn't come to him in the past few years.

Hearing his exaggeration, the fat man hurriedly said: "Old Zhang, what's the matter? Is there any work recently? We haven't opened for five years, and we don't choose big or small."

When Lao Zhang heard that Fatty was looking for a job, he was also happy. Yesterday he dreamed about big fish, and it seems that today will come true.

"Don't tell me, there really is one. The neighbor of my son's classmate's aunt passed away, but he believes in God. You also know that there is no church priest in our county. I really don't know how he believes in God... what? , before he died, he said that he wanted to hold a Christian funeral, and I was worried, so you just came.”

"Great, this is a good job. You don't need to do anything, just read a few passages from the Bible." Fatty is very satisfied with this business

Shi Yi used to know that Taoism was not easy, and he often accepted some unpopular rituals, even Buddhist ones.But he did not expect that the business scope of the Taoist temple had already broken through the national border.

After leaving Lao Zhang's house, the fat man took Shi Yi to find the deceased's house according to the address provided by Lao Zhang.

Shi Yi once again sighed in his heart, this old Zhang is really blind if he doesn't become an agent, he even knows his address in such detail.

Before entering the door, under Shi Yi's surprised gaze, the fat man took out two priest's clothes from his backpack, handed one to Shi Yi, and put the other on himself

"Don't be surprised, our props need to be fully prepared to be convincing, otherwise no one will believe us." Then he took out the cross and the Bible from his bag.Needless to say, with such an upheaval, Fatty really looks like he loves the world.

Shi Yi also put on the priest's attire as usual, but the clothes don't fit so well

"Then what, I didn't expect to accept Christian's job this time. I didn't prepare your clothes, so you can wear mine first..."

After the two dressed up, they entered the house of the deceased

The gate of the yard was opened, and a coffin was placed in the middle of the yard, with a cross on it. The family members of the deceased wore filial piety and wept bitterly around the coffin, and the deacon was directing the worshiping relatives to salute.

"One bow, two bows..."

Fatty held back a smile, holding the bible and holding the priest's airs, Shi Yi shouted at the deacon:

"The priest is coming"

This voice attracted everyone in the room to look at the fat man, and the deacon ran over: "You were introduced by Lao Zhang? Come here quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The deacon is eager for the fat man to come over quickly, and he can hardly hold on to this scene what's the matter

Before the fat man could reach his family members, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and before everyone could react, it was raining heavily

There was chaos in the courtyard, and the deacon directed everyone to set up the shed.

The shed was unusually quiet, and the family members stopped crying. The relatives stared at the coffin with ugly faces. The deacon happened to be standing beside Shi Yi, muttering in a low voice: "Let me tell you, I have to follow the trend and have a Christian funeral. God must be unhappy."

It turned out that the deceased was not a Christian at all. He just saw on TV that Christian funerals were very foreign, so he wanted to experience it.

The fat man also heard it from the side, his face turned green, this old Zhang actually caused trouble, and he didn't ask hard, but now he is sitting on wax, the rain today is by no means a coincidence, don't cause trouble.

At this moment, I heard a bang, and then someone outside shouted: "It's not good, the landslide happened!"
