The old water well was really doing its job these days. So many people were drawing water from it, but the water had not been cut off. It was worthy of having been dug after calculated divination.
After the water supply was fully restored, not only did nearby residents continue to come here to enjoy the cool air and chat in their free time, but a group of people also came to fetch water.
Upon asking, it turned out that most of them were tea drinkers.
They had tasted the water here in the past few days, and they liked to drink tea, so they were also particular about details such as water use. They tasted the water carefully and thought this water was rare and good, so even after the water supply was restored, they were happy to come to fetch water.
The remaining ones basically thought the well water was delicious. They all named the well after Baoyang Temple and called it Baoyang Well. Every day, there were even people who came from another district and carried water back to drink.
Of course Xie Lingya would not stop people from fetching water just because the drought was over.
As a result, the residents were happy, but Xie Lingya did not have it so good.
After this period of familiarity, he had also become accustomed to simple matters in Baoyang Temple, but for some reason he had not been able to sleep well these past few days, and he still had weird dreams.
It was just a dream, but he dreamed that Wang Lingguan slapped him, and moreover he had dreams like this every day.
Xie Lingya had always been big-hearted, but he had to think more now, “Master, master, is this not a dream? But what on earth do you want to tell me? You just pointed your middle finger and didn’t say anything. How do I know what you want me to do?”
Xie Lingya searched his notes for similar situations, and also searched online to find out what it meant if he dreamed of Wang Lingguan, but he didn’t seem to find anyone who had the same situation as him.
After thinking for a long time, Xie Lingya made a helpless decision to ask the Taoist priests at Taihe Temple.
He had no idea! He didn’t learn to interpret dreams, so he really couldn’t guess the meaning of this dream!
He wondered if people from Taihe Temple could give him a discount. Although he was not a Taoist priest, he was still a member of Baoyang Temple. They all belonged to the Taoist Association. And if he went there, he might even be able to see Shi Changxuan again!
Xie Lingya was packing his things and preparing to go to Taihe Temple when He Zun arrived.
He Zun: “Teacher Xie, where are you going?”
Of course, it was impossible for Xie Lingya to say such a shameful thing as going to another Taoist temple to get his dreams interpreted so he looked behind him.
He Zun: “Don’t look, I came alone today.”
Didn’t they agree that he would bring his roommates to burn incense together?
But Xie Lingya asked: “What’s wrong with you? You didn’t see ghosts again, did you?”
He Zun giggled and said, “Then how unlucky will I be!”
Xie Lingya: “So what are you here for?”
He Zun: “My uncle’s house is haunted!”
Xie Lingya: “…”
He Zun: “I have a cousin who lives in Yang City. Recently, the whole family has had nightmares every day. He didn’t believe this at first. He even went to have a physical examination and tested the surrounding environment, and the results were all fine. I suggested that he ask for help from you. If you came to our door to do it, the problem might be solved completely.”
Nightmares? What are you doing? Xie Lingya was still troubled here. He had no time to care about others. He wanted to say that they could go to Taihe Temple together.
He Zun was in high spirits. Seeing Xie Lingya thinking about it, he said, “Teacher Xie, let me offer incense to the ancestor first.”
Of course Xie Lingya couldn’t refuse the offer of incense, so he took him to the side hall and handed over three sticks of incense.
He Zun lit the incense, held it in his hand, and bowed down. When he got up, he saw that the three sticks of incense were all broken in the middle.
He Zun’s scalp felt like it was exploding, “Teacher Xie, what’s going on!”
Although he didn’t understand this, this situation was not a good thing at first glance! He was afraid it was an ominous sign!
Xie Lingya also said hurriedly: “I’ll get you three more, and I won’t charge you more. Hey, I didn’t intentionally sell fake products.”
He Zun: “…”
Xie Lingya took out three more incense sticks. This time he lit them himself, and then fanned out the fire. Just after fanning twice, all the incense sticks were broken!
This time, even Xie Lingya felt something was wrong and his face looked a little ugly. He thought of his dream.
He Zun was still scared and said: “Did I offend the Patriarch in some way, Teacher Xie?”
“It’s none of your business.” Xie Lingya put down the incense, clasped his hands and said to the statue, “Master, what are your instructions? Can you make it clear?”
“Thank you, Teacher.” He Zun suddenly said weakly, “Look, does the Patriarch have…”
Xie Lingya took a look and saw that He Zun was pointing to a piece on the side of the statue that had peeled off. He turned to the back and saw that the spots on the back were even more serious.
Baoyang Temple had been in disrepair for a long time and was already a bit dilapidated. The tiles on the main hall were all damaged. If it weren’t for the tarpaulin, it might have leaked. Now that even the golden body of the statue was peeling off, could Xie Lingya not have wild dreams?
——The Patriarch had issued a mission!!
Xie Lingya understood immediately, lit three more incense, and said, “Great God, I will repair the statue for you,” he glanced at the incense, gritted his teeth and said, “Within two months.”
This time, until he carefully inserted the incense into the incense burner, all three incense sticks were unscathed.
In an instant, both Xie Lingya and He Zun felt a little chilled. Xie Lingya was okay and brave enough, while He Zun almost trembled and became even more awed. Xie Lingya felt lucky that he didn’t tell him that he had been dreaming about the Great Spirit Officer these past few days.
Although Xie Lingya boasted about it, he had no idea where he could get the money. His plan to broaden his financial resources was just the first step. Currently, Baoyang Temple’s total monthly income, after excluding expenses, was not much at all. He still had to save money to recruit Taoist priests.
He didn’t know how much money would be spent to renovate the statue, but that income was definitely not enough. The statue was more than two meters high. It was impossible to just repair the peeling parts. The color difference would look too ugly.
At this time, He Zun also lit three sticks of incense cautiously, and this time it was not broken either.
Xie Lingya looked at He Zun thoughtfully and suddenly asked: “What exactly is going on at your cousin’s place? Is he rich?”
He Zun was stunned for a moment, and then said: “Of course! My cousin said that as long as it can be solved, we will pay the market price.”
“Okay.” Xie Lingya seemed to be very skilled, and then turned around and thought to himself, Damn, I don’t know what the market price is!
However, this matter could indeed be tried. If it was like what happened with He Zun, he didn’t know the source at first, so there might not be anything he could do.
But this time, since he knew that the incident happened in his new house, and that the situation was similar to what happened at the home of Xie Lingya’s classmate in high school, he felt somewhat confident.
Moreover, the incense broke off when the congratulatory bottle was being used, and Xie Lingya always felt that this was a hint. He bowed to the statue of Lingguan again and said silently: Great God, it was you who encouraged me to go, then if you don’t protect me, it would be unkind to let me die…
He Zun saw Teacher Xie’s pious look from the side and became awe-struck.
….
Now that he knew where the dream came from, Xie Lingya didn’t need to go to Taihe Temple to interpret the dream. So, he made an agreement with He Zun to go to his cousin’s house the next day.
The next day, He Zun took a taxi to pick up Xie Lingya. Xie Lingya brought the things he had prepared, and the two of them went to a villa area in a new building in Yang City, where He Zun’s cousin’s family lived.
After Xie Lingya got out of the car, he first observed the feng shui around him, then lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone.
He Zun took one look and thought, damn, this is a confident attitude.
In fact, Xie Lingya was opening the Baoyang notes he had entered before, flipping to Feng Shui and desperately looking for the corresponding terrain…
“Mr. Why are you not a Taoist priest when you live in a Taoist temple? Do you have a certificate or not, and how do you talk about acting without a certificate?”
These days, everything you did needed a certificate, and Taoist priests were certainly no exception. If you have a Taoist certificate, you can check it online.
But He Zun still felt speechless! You’ve already found a Taoist priest, why are you pursuing ghost hunting without a license?
“I have the certificate.” Xie Lingya chuckled, took out a blue certificate from his pocket, and waved it in front of He Zun.
The speed was too fast and He Zun didn’t see it clearly. He was stunned for a moment and then said: “Damn it, Teacher Xie, haven’t you never become a monk? How can you have a certificate?”
Xie Lingya smiled and said nothing.
He Zun: “…Teacher Xie, can you apply for a fake certificate?”
“No, really.” Xie Lingya glanced at him and pulled out the certificate.
He Zun hurriedly bent over to take a look, and saw three black words printed on Teacher Xie’s blue-backed ID: Student ID.
He Zun: “…………”
