“I, I really don’t know how to do Tai Chi…” Zhang Daoting complained in his heart when a group of aunties pestered him to teach them Tai Chi.
This was all because Xie Lingya casually deceived people by saying that he practiced Tai Chi with the Three Treasure Swords. As a result, people thought that everybody in the Taoist temple must know Tai Chi. The newcomers Hou Xuzhong and Liu Bohe had practiced boxing, kicking and swordsmanship, but the aunts were not willing to learn these things.
Fortunately, Xie Lingya came back at this time, and he quickly said: “Senior Brother Xie is back, let him teach you.”
Everyone saw that Xie Lingya was carrying a bag and a sword, so they went to find him.
“Okay, wait a minute, I’ll finish putting things away.” Xie Lingya was also familiar with the uncles and aunts who often come to the Taoist temple. At first, he actually went to learn after the lies he told casually, and he occasionally practiced the moves he had learnt when he was in the front yard.
Xie Lingya went to the backyard and put down the toilet ghost he was carrying. This was inside a Taoist temple. Under Wang Lingguan’s gaze, the toilet ghost was obviously trembling.
Shi Changxuan was also in the courtyard. Although the toilet ghost did not show up, he still felt something was wrong, “What did you bring back?”
“A toilet ghost, trying to scare me.” Xie Lingya said, he had beaten the toilet ghost before. Then after a meal, under the repeated begging of the toilet ghost, he was brought back to be supervised.
If you put this guy in the toilet, even if it didn’t dare to harm anyone, was it not outrageous to let it keep peeking at teachers and students using the toilet.
“How do you plan to deal with it?” Shi Changxuan asked.
They couldn’t just put it in the toilet of Baoyang Temple and not think about it. What was he thinking about, transforming the toilet ghost and letting it clean the toilet every day?
Xie Lingya thought about it and said: “For this, I think it should be reformed through labor to expend some energy, lose weight and get rid of the bad habit of peeking at people going to the toilet.”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
The reason why toilet ghosts were like this was because there was a lot of filth on their bodies, but it was different from human fat. Even if a person gained fat, he would not look like a toilet ghost.
When it came to losing weight, it meant not letting it stay in a place with heavy filth and letting the aura of heaven and earth wash away its filth. But Xie Lingya’s expression… was quite new.
The toilet ghost became extremely obedient after being beaten by Xie Lingya. It squatted in place, fearing that Xie Lingya would kill it or bring it back and imprison it in front of the altar. That would be very uncomfortable.
“Changxuan, let Ding Aima and Qin Limin supervise it and keep it away from the toilet.” Xie Lingya said.
Now Ding Aima and Qin Limin were already very positive ghosts. Ding Aima walked around the mall every day and took the mall as his own – so he couldn’t accept thieves the most. From time to time, he bumped into people who were stealing goods and made things fall to expose them.
And Qin Limin was even more like this. If he were a human being, he would be in the social news, as he had made great contributions to the night security in the Jingui Pedestrian Street area. If nothing unexpected happened, Xie Lingya planned to save him during the Ghost Festival next year.
Xie Lingya put away his things and went out to teach the uncles and aunts Tai Chi. After all, he was the only one who had a sword, and others did not.
However, there were always many tables and chairs in the Taoist temple to accommodate tea guests. Fortunately, there was a square next to it, so everyone gathered around Xie Lingya to go to the square.
At night, Dawn Square was crowded with people and was full of old people dancing in the square. Some of them were professionally dressed in uniforms and holding fans and other props. There were also people practicing Tai Chi here. There were about a dozen uncles and aunts who formed their own small world with one uncle.
But as soon as Baoyang Temple came into the business, people immediately started to murmur, some people even came over and asked: “Where did you find your coach? Why…”
Why is he so much more handsome than theirs? Still young!
Xie Lingya usually didn’t come out to the square to practice, but this time he came because there were too many people to stand. Uncles and aunts were still wondering, doesn’t Xiao Xie go out to practice swordsmanship all the time? Why don’t you guys know him?
But doubts were doubts, they still replied: “It’s not the coach we invited. This is the layman from Baoyang Temple over there.”
The other party was very envious. Being a Taoist meant he must be a Tai Chi master, after all they didn’t understand anything either. When they heard it, they subconsciously thought that this man was from the Taoist Temple, so they guessed the way he taught must be very stylish!
In fact, Xie Lingya also learned it by watching videos on the Internet. He didn’t hear other people discussing it, because he felt something was wrong while he was teaching. Although his spiritual eyes were closed, he could still feel the whistling wind.
No way, the square was still so lively and popular, could it be haunted?
Ordinary people would just feel that there was a strange wind blowing, but Xie Lingya felt something was wrong, so he greeted the uncles and aunts and ran back.
He had already used the Lingguan Shenmu today, and his eyes still felt uncomfortable, so he asked Shi Changxuan to use a talisman to open his eyes, and said: “I was outside just now, and I felt a strong wind blowing.”
At this time, the clinic was also closed. Hai Guanchao and Fang Zhe had come back and closed the back door. Seeing Xie Lingya looking like he was about to walk out again, they were about to question him, but heard a knock on the back door.
Hai Guanchao turned around and opened the door strangely, but there was no one outside.
Of course, in Xie Lingya’s eyes, there was something outside.
Qin Limin and Ding Aima were holding a female ghost at the door, who looked extremely embarrassed. The female ghost had a bulging belly, a pale complexion, and long disheveled hair. She didn’t look very kind, but leaning on the other two ghosts, she seemed very weak and even… A little panicked.
——Of course, no matter who the ghost is, it will probably be very frightened when it is brought to knock on the door of Wang Lingguan Temple.
This female ghost had a big belly and looked pregnant.
Humans could conceive, and ghosts could also conceive, but either the remaining energy of a person after death got the opportunity to be reborn, or it was a corpse that had two lives, or if the fetus was stillborn, and the innate soul and resentment were entangled. In these situations, a child can be born as a ghost fetus, but the former ghost could not then be reincarnated.
These situations were relatively rare and required some chance. The most common ones were blood ghosts, that was, women who had had difficult childbirth and became ghosts.
“What’s going on?” Xie Lingya asked.
He had never seen this female ghost before. Could it be that she was a friend of Qin Limin and Ding Aima.
Ding Aima hurriedly said: “Teacher Xie, just now we felt as if someone was recruiting us, and her. She is also a ghost nearby.”
Recruiting was when some mages invited ghosts and gods to help them, which was very common in rituals. Xie Lingya suddenly thought that the sinister wind just now must be caused by the passing of ghosts. Then a lot of people must have been summoned. What kind of ritual would use so many people?
Ordinary lonely ghosts had little resistance to being called up, but Qin Limin and Ding Aima, in order to facilitate them to do good deeds, reported in and out of the backyard, and Xie Lingya specially greeted him, thus they were considered to be under the protection of the ancestor.
Qin Limin said angrily: “Even pregnant women are recruited. It’s too much. This is simply a tragedy on earth. He is no more human than a stone trench official! If we hadn’t pulled her, she would have been drafted away!”
Xie Lingya: “??”
Xie Lingya pondered, this angle was novel. He had never recruited ghosts before, and he didn’t know that the recruitment process was done regardless of gender or physical condition.
In this way, it seemed that the treatment of the pregnant female ghost was indeed too much. Even though she was pregnant, she was still being recruited to work…
Qin Limin pointed at the female ghost and said: “She moved the fetus while resisting, and now she is about to give birth. Teacher Xie, please help her! She has never done anything bad. If you don’t believe me, you can check it out. She lived in that community when she was alive, and she only watched people dancing in the square after her death!”
The female ghost also looked at Xie Lingya with a painful expression.
Xie Lingya: “…”
No, do you really think that Teacher Xie is omnipotent?!
Hai Guanchao didn’t have yin and yang eyes, so he only saw Xie Lingya performing a one-man show and asked curiously: “Who is it?”
Xie Lingya slowly looked at Hai Guanchao.
Hai Guanchao: “…”
Xie Lingya: “…”
Hai Guanchao: “…” He had a bad premonition.
….
Taisu Clinic.
“What are you doing, don’t open my eyes for me, I won’t look, I won’t look!” Hai Guanchao struggled to no avail. When he opened his eyes, he saw the tragic situation of the pot-bellied female ghost, and he suddenly felt helpless.
“It’s true that I’m a doctor, but I won’t deliver the baby of a ghost!” Hai Guanchao felt that he was particularly wronged.
“Doctor, please, please save me and my child…” The female ghost held her belly in her hands, crawled on the ground a few times, and held Hai Guanchao’s ankle.
“…” Hai Guanchao had goosebumps all over his body, “If you have something to say, please tell me.”
Qin Limin and Ding Aima helped the female ghost up and laughed at Hai Guanchao, “Doctor Hai, just do a good deed. Even if she is reincarnated, she will not forget you.”
Hai Guanchao: “…”
Xie Lingya said, “Just try it like a human being.”
Hai Guanchao was pondering when he turned around and saw the toilet ghost and was so frightened that he took five steps back, and his glasses became crooked, “What the hell is this!”
The toilet ghost lowered his head with an aggrieved look.
“This is the new ghost I brought back, but it’s not important.” Xie Lingya advised, “Brother Hai, why don’t you give it a try. Ghosts can also be transformed by humans. Maybe there is a way to use it.”
At this time, Fang Zhe said: “Let me try.”
Everyone looked at Fang Zhe.
There were also ways to see ghosts in “Lu Banshu”. Fang Zhe solved the problem of opening his spiritual eyes by himself: “Don’t embarrass Dr. Hai. He has never dealt with vaginal objects. I can try to induce birth.”
Hai Guanchao nodded repeatedly. Although he knew something about these things because of his family education, he was not a man of this kind after all, and he had never seen a ghost, let alone delivered a baby to a ghost.
Ghosts were yin creatures, so of course you could not use cinnabar to draw talismans to induce birth for them. Fang Zhe asked the female ghost to lie flat on the ground, took the well water with heavy yin energy, and recited the birth-inducing spell, “One turns into Nine Dragon Water, two turns into Queen Mother’s birth-giving water …”
After the curse, he sprinkled the water on the female ghost.
A miracle happened. They saw the female ghost put her hand on her belly, let out a long cry, and her belly gradually became flat. This was different from human pregnant women. It became flat immediately after giving birth, and the skirt between her legs bulged out.
Xie Lingya immediately felt that it was inappropriate. It was the first time for them to experience this kind of thing. Now that he thought about it, they had just gathered to watch the lady give birth. He quickly covered his eyes and said, “You are not allowed to watch.”
The female ghost couldn’t help laughing. Suddenly, her pale face became even more terrifying. She picked up her skirt and took out the ghost baby, looking at the child lovingly.
Ghosts were inherently yin objects, and ghost babies were even more so. Their bodies were bloodless, and their eyes were open and dark since birth, making them look creepy to anyone they stared at.
“…” Everyone wanted to see the touching feelings between mother and son, but when they saw this scene, no one could hold back the chills that stood up all over their bodies, and their emotions suddenly disappeared.
The female ghost hugged the child and bowed to Fang Zhe. She also bowed to everyone else, including Hai Guanchao and Xie Lingya who had not been able to help. “Thank you!”
“It’s okay, I didn’t help at all.” Xie Lingya dodged and did not accept the bow.
Hai Guanchao was also ashamed. He regretted it now. This might have been his only chance to test his medical skills on a ghost, but he missed it because he was not brave enough at the beginning.
The female ghost pursed her pale lips and smiled, “My name is Du Minmin. If you need any help in the future, please just ask Mr. Fang.”
Fang Zhe also waved his hand, “It’s just a little effort.”
Ding Aima and Qin Limin sent Du Minmin away. Afterwards, Hai Guanchao still regretted it, “I should have tried it just now.”
He also muttered that maybe this method could be tried, and that method might be useful.
“It’s okay, Brother Hai.” Xie Lingya comforted him, “Maybe she’ll ask you about maternal and infant issues later, and you will still have a chance to show off your skills.”
For example, if the little ghost cries at night and the breast milk is not enough (he didn’t know if female ghosts had breast milk) and other issues.
Hai Guanchao: “…”
A group of people gathered around to watch the female ghost deliver the baby, then closed the clinic door again and walked back to the Taoist temple.
