Phytolacca God didn’t say anything, but Shi Changxuan seemed to be able to sense its stiffness and helplessness. He indifferently pressed the pin open, took off Phytolacca God and put it in Xie Lingya’s hand.
Phytolacca God: “!!!”
Xie Lingya held Phytolacca God, still very close, “Hmm?”
Phytolacca God suddenly felt like wood soaked in water, soft and crisp, nervous and shy, and frightened. After a long while, he squeezed out a hum, “Ying…”
Xie Lingya smiled and laughed, “You were quite bold just now, and you wanted to protect my innocence, why are you silent now?”
Phytolacca God burst into tears, “It’s not like that… Woo… It’s not…” It cried and felt that its dry recitation of these words was pale and powerless, so it could only cry, “Shi Changxuan is so bad!”
He actually sent it to Xie Lingya’s hands. In the past, it would have been eager, but now…
Shi Changxuan looked at it indifferently.
“Why are you crying?” Although there were no tears, the cry was miserable enough. Xie Lingya touched the little wooden man’s forehead a few times and saw that everyone else was excited about surviving the disaster and no one noticed it. So he whispered, “I’m not blaming you, I’m just a little surprised.”
He was surprised and even found it funny and interesting.
As Xie Lingya touched his forehead, Phytolacca God’s cry slowly calmed down, and finally he sobbed, “Will I still be your little cutie in the future…”
Xie Lingya: “No, you are a little rascal.”
Phytolacca God: “…”
Phytolacca God just howled, and Xie Lingya quickly said, “Just kidding, of course you are still my little cutie.”
The cry was held back, and Phytolacca God was still a little dazed, and he said “Oh” after a long while.
It seemed that he couldn’t recover for a while. Xie Lingya held back his laughter and handed it back, asking: “Is it always like this?”
“Like this” of course referred to “the true face”. Shi Changxuan nodded. Phytolacca God never restrained himself in front of him, but he also explained: “It’s not intentional. It’s shy when it sees you.”
“It likes me so much.” Xie Lingya said with a smile.
Although Xie Lingya couldn’t hear it, Phytolacca God still whispered “hmm”.
After Xie Lingya finished speaking, he found that Shi Changxuan was also looking at him. He suddenly realized that what he said just now seemed to be said to Shi Changxuan. He was embarrassed and turned his head away, “Ahem… Oh, by the way, our Liu Lingtong should not be like this.”
He just made up a reason to change the subject. Liu Lingtong had always been by his side, and he was really timid.
Shi Changxuan: “This kind of Reporting God is still rare.”
Phytolacca God: “…”
There were too few innate wood spirits, and there were no cases like the Phytolacca God in the few records. However, the more merits it and Liu Lingtong gained from practicing with the two, the more humanity and wisdom they would have. Who knows, maybe Liu Lingtong would become brave enough to kill the ghost king in the future.
At this time, the driver also recovered. When he drove back before, his whole body was tense. After crossing the bridge, his heart beat very fast and his hands were shaking. Only then did he calm down.
“Master, then I will continue driving?” The driver asked the two.
“Go on, this time see the road more clearly.” Xie Lingya said.
The driver scratched his head, “… I will try my best.”
He didn’t know what happened just now, but he drove to the ghost road. But suddenly he remembered that Xie Lingya had asked him to pray and burn incense, and asked in surprise: “Master, you asked me to burn incense before, did you see anything, am I okay?”
“You are fine,” Xie Lingya said, “It’s just that your luck is a little low, just go and change your luck.”
No wonder he drove on the wrong bridge, the driver was still scared, if there were no two masters in the bus, he would be finished, and he would also have implicated the whole bus full of people.
The other passengers slowly recovered from the joy of escaping a disaster. What then filled their hearts was more curiosity about Xie Lingya and the others. They asked if the two were from Changle Temple, after all, the bus was heading to Changle Mountain. They also wanted to leave a contact number. No one could tell if they would encounter similar things in the future. It would be the best if they didn’t. But if they did, they would have a bottom line in their hearts.
Everyone was actually a little nervous, afraid that the master would say something very mysterious like “We will meet again if we are destined to meet again in the future” and then float away.
But when Xie Lingya took out his mobile phone and asked everyone to scan the WeChat QR code, they were completely relieved.
Xie Lingya introduced that he was not from the provincial capital. The two of them just came to Changle Temple to participate in the Dharma Assembly and came from Baoyang Temple in Zhuoyang.
“Baoyang Temple? I seem to have heard of it on the Internet.”
“Yes, yes, I remember it too. The one in Zhuoyang… My God, no wonder it looks a little familiar. Did you really attract the cranes back then?”
Xie Lingya corrected: “No, they really escaped from the zoo.”
Everyone: “…”
Their excitement was dampened a little, but they were still a little excited.
“Oh my god, to be honest, if I go back and tell people what happened tonight, no one will believe me.” Someone murmured.
Others also sighed, isn’t it? They didn’t have much evidence. Those who believe will believe it, and those who don’t will probably just treat it as a story. There were always similar urban anecdotes.
But no matter what others thought, including what the people present thought before, their thoughts would change to some extent after today.
There was still half an hour to go, so some passengers took the opportunity to ask Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan, “I bought a house last year. When I was renovating it, someone told me that my house lacked yang energy and I had to plant more sunflowers at home. But I’m really not good at growing flowers, and several pots have died. Little Master, is there any way?”
Xie Lingya almost sprayed out water, “Plant sunflowers if yang energy is insufficient? Brother, have you heard of this? What school of thought is this?”
Shi Changxuan was helpless, “A charlatan, just like Wu Liang’s previous master.”
What ghost soldiers flying planes and planting sunflowers to replenish yang energy, it sounded ridiculous, but some people really believed it. One was because they are limited by their own lack of knowledge, and the other was that some liars were really good at acting.
The passenger didn’t know who Wu Liang’s master was, but he understood the word charlatan. He slapped his thigh and said, “I gave him three hundred yuan, but he turned out to be a liar. I’m going to settle the score with him later. By the way, little master, how do I calculate if I ask you to look at my house?”
“I don’t know much about this. If you really want to see it, contact me on WeChat later and I’ll introduce someone to you.” Xie Lingya was referring to Fang Zhe. He majored in Taoism and talismans and also studied other things like Tai Su Mai and face reading. He had less contact with Feng Shui. Shi Changxuan knew a little, but it was not his major, and he looked at graves and arranged Feng Shui for people. This man had already bought a house, so he thought of asking Fang Zhe, the heir of the “Lu Banshu”, to take a look. His major was very suitable.
In just half an hour, Xie Lingya answered questions and solved doubts for many passengers on the bus. When they got off the bus, everyone thanked them again, and some said they would go to Baoyang Temple to burn incense in the future. They saw the abilities of these two masters, but what was even more rare was that Xie Lingya was very approachable, answered every question, and did not ask for any reward for saving people.
“Haha, if you want to visit while traveling, you are welcome to come. If you don’t go to Zhuoyang and want to burn incense, you can go to the Taoist temple in the provincial capital. I recommend the Fucheng Huang Temple.” Xie Lingya said at last.
“Little Master,” the driver stopped him, “Why is it the Fucheng Huang Temple, not Changle Temple?”
Changle Temple had a long history, and the main deity enshrined was Taiyi Tianzun, which was also very famous.
As for the Fucheng Huang Temple, it had actually been built for many years. The city gods were divided into four levels: capital, prefecture, state, and county. The Fucheng Huang Temple was considered the second-level city god temple. However, it seemed to be missing something compared to Changle Temple.
Besides, weren’t these two going to Changle Temple?
Xie Lingya laughed and said, “I’m just recommending it, don’t ask me why.”
Everyone thought there was some trick in it, and they analyzed it by themselves, saying that the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager.
In fact, there were not so many reasons. Of course, recommending the Fucheng Huang Temple was to attract some incense for his uncle!
