“Teacher, I’m really fine. Well, you all listened to my last question. Was I clear?” Xie Lingya was dragged to the car by Hai Guanchao, still talking back to the examiner.
The examiner was sweating profusely, “I heard it, I heard it, classmate, go to the hospital quickly!”
“Thank you, teacher.” After Xie Lingya said this, he was put into the car by Hai Guanchao. The two of them had been waiting for Xie Lingya outside.
The examiner wiped his sweat and turned around with lingering fear.
Xie Lingya started vomiting blood while answering the questions. All the examiners were frightened and tried to take Xie Lingya to the hospital. Xie Lingya persisted in answering the questions, even if they couldn’t stop him, he still insisted on saying that he was fine.
When they left the examination room, the teachers and candidates they met along the way were all shocked. Seeing that the student’s chest was covered with blood and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, they thought a crime had occurred.
In the taxi.
Under the driver’s frightened eyes, Shi Changxuan wiped off all the blood on Xie Lingya’s chin with a wet tissue. He couldn’t even think about the blood on his clothes, so he had to go back and wash them.
Hai Guanchao: “It’s a good thing to spit out blood congestion. It’s nothing serious.”
“I know, I feel much better after vomiting.” Xie Lingya rinsed his mouth with mineral water again, as his mouth smelled of blood.
“I just scared your teacher so much.”
“Hadn’t you finished the exam when you vomited blood?” Hai Guanchao asked.
Xie Lingya thought about it and said: “I was answering the last question. As I was talking, I started vomiting blood. It made me anxious. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be allowed to take the exam, so I quickly vomited it up and finished answering the question. Fortunately, it should be calculated as the exam being over.”
Hai Guanchao and Shi Changxuan: “…”
The taxi driver in front couldn’t help but say: “Classmate, you worked too hard!”
Although he didn’t know how he was injured, he was still thinking about finishing the exam as he vomited blood. It was so admirable that he was afraid of not being allowed to take the exam. He must go back and tell this story to his son who hated studying!
….
After Xie Lingya returned, he also got in touch with the Taoist Association. This time he took the lead in capturing Pei Xiaoshan. The Du Gong Seal and the Sanwu Evil Slaying Sword were also returned to the museum intact, and he lay down on his own. Especially in the province, someone was sent to express condolences.
The reward would have allocated another sum to him. However, Xie Lingya discussed it with Dao Sheng, and the reward could be directly exchanged for a gold body. The Provincial Dao Association must have reliable channels for custom-made gold bodies.
In addition, he also brought back the statue of Sazu from the mountain, and after cleaning it, he temporarily placed it in the ear room. When he had money in the future, he could build a side hall and put it in.
After talking with Xie Lingya, Director Zhao from the Provincial Taoist Association asked, “I heard, Xiao Xie, you… are taking the postgraduate entrance examination? Are you interested in changing your major? We also have cooperation with Quedong College in Religious Studies. If you want, you can change your major to Religious Studies.
“Ah? No, I’m pretty good at studying finance.”
“I mean…” Taoist priest Zhao smiled and said, “Aren’t you considering becoming a monk?”
Xie Lingya: “…”
Taoist priest Zhao: “It’s no problem for you to become a monk in Baoyang Temple. After graduating from graduate school, you can also join as an individual in the Provincial Dao Association…”
Xie Lingya understood immediately, “Thank you, thank you, but this… still doesn’t work. I help in the Taoist temple because of the elders’ last wish, but I have other goals.”
Taoist priest Zhao’s disappointment was clear, “Okay, I’m sorry.”
When Xie Lingya beat Pei Xiaoshan, not only he and Shi Changxuan, but several other Taoist priests were also present. Within a few days, Xie Lingya’s performance had spread throughout the Provincial Taoist Association, and there was a tendency to spread outwards.
In the industry, Xie Lingya had become famous in one battle, and everyone was asking about the specific origins of this young man. Unexpectedly, a small Qiyang could have such a crouching tiger, hidden dragon[1]!
For the Provincial Road Association, it would be great if such a talent could officially become a monk.
Taoist Zhao came here this time with the task of testing Xie Lingya’s thoughts. Unfortunately, Xie Lingya didn’t seem to want to become a monk for the time being. Daochang Zhao thought about the leader’s intention and did not continue to persuade him. Anyway, he was here and the relationship between them was very good. Maybe he could change his mind in the future.
The son of Taoist Master Shi from their Taoist Association had a good relationship with Xiao Xie, and he might be able to help with some persuasion.
This also led to people from the Taoist community often asking Xie Lingya: Do you know about the benefits of becoming a monk?
On the other hand, when the incident was officially announced, it was said that all the cultural relics had been recovered, and a young man who was taking the postgraduate entrance examination helped subdue the gangster, who later committed suicide out of fear of crime.
As for the bonus, the young man donated it all.
——That’s right. In fact, it was given to Baoyang Temple for cultivating the Three Purities Golden Body.
….
While the situation was excellent, Zhang San from the Jinyang City God Division came to see Xie Lingya.
“Teacher Xie, I was ordered to tell you that the ghosts have been counted. Fortunately, ghost kings from all directions helped, and there was no mistake.” Zhang San said, “It’s just that when Pei Xiaoshan fled all the way, in order to stop the pursuers, he attracted many Yin objects which are running around everywhere now, causing the colleagues in Queshan to suffer a lot.”
Xie Lingya also knew about this. Many Taoist priests who were following him were tripped up by the ghost objects such as the wandering spirits of the mountains. He also met a mountain charm on the train. Including the fact that they couldn’t recruit many underworld agents at that time, their loss was also because they all went to catch yin objects.
“Why, did he release so much that they haven’t been caught yet?” Xie Lingya was drinking the tonic soup, and said while drinking, “You are already very busy with official duties. I think the underworld still has to work together with the Taoist Association.”
Throughout the ages, the underworld had been busy, not always looking for people to do ghost work in the human world.
Zhang San looked at Xie Lingya and said sheepishly: “This is exactly the reason. I want to ask you to be a lobbyist…”
With the Provincial Taoist Association?
Oh, no, Xie Lingya understood, “Do you want me to tell my uncle?”
The official below felt that he was too busy and tired, and hoped to find some help, but he did not dare to tell his new and very diligent boss.
Zhang San nodded repeatedly.
“Okay, I will offer incense to my uncle later and propose this matter. I will also mention this matter to the Provincial Taoist Association. Conquering and subduing demons is also the duty of Taoist priests.”
Zhang San then left with great gratitude.
Xie Lingya knew that those ghosts had been sent to the underworld, so he officially sent the ghost kings from all directions back. These guys were really difficult to raise. He had to offer food and wine to them every day. He didn’t know how Pei Xiaoshan provided food and drinks to them at that time when he was homeless.
When Xie Lingya was about to recite the mantra, he saw one of the ghost kings looking around in his room with red eyes. He recognized that this was the first ghost king he had encountered who had captured his Liu Lingtong, and said, “What are you looking at? Looking for Liu Lingtong?”
The Ghost King smiled coquettishly, shook his head and said, “I had a relationship with it, at least for a while. We are about to part ways, why don’t you take it out and ask me to take a look at it again?”
“Hehehe…” Xie Lingya smiled softly. After laughing a few times, he quickly calmed down and said, “No!”
The Ghost King said: “…”
Under the Ghost King’s resentful eyes, Xie Lingya sent them away.
….
On the other hand, after the official news was broadcast, the examiners at Quedong College saw the information in the news, and then they realized that the candidate who vomited blood they met on the day of the reexamination was the young man in the news. When he said acting bravely was actually helping to recover cultural relics.
Originally, Xie Lingya’s test scores were already good, but now that something like this happened, and he also graduated from Quedong with a bachelor’s degree. They didn’t have to think about it. Of course he had to be admitted. What had to be decided was what level of scholarship would be given.
Before the re-examination results were checked, Xie Lingya didn’t know the school’s decision, but his undergraduate teacher called to care about his injury. When Xie Lingya inquired about his scores, he told him that he had great hope of admission.
Xie Lingya knew as soon as he heard it that this should be a sure thing.
He happily checked into WeChat and went to the classmate group. Besides him, there should be other people fighting again this year. However, some time ago, he was recovering from his injuries and had to deal with the Taoist Association and invite the statues back, so he didn’t have time to care about other people.
Xie Lingya was about to ask everyone how they did in the exam, when he saw a classmate saying in the group: “By the way, have you heard that before our postgraduate re-examination, there was a senior who had failed repeatedly. So, during the interview, because the questions were too difficult, he started vomiting blood on the spot…”
Classmate B: “Aigoo, is it true?”
Classmate A: “It’s absolutely true, I don’t know which class he was from. I heard that the examiners were scared and helped him out.”
Classmate B: “Damn it, I heard about it after I came out of the exam that day. Someone came out vomiting blood. It turned out that it was because of the difficulty in answering questions?”
Xie Lingya: “???”
