Didi, didi, didi...
Zhao Ligang, who was accompanying Hu Ping, heard the cheap electronic watch in his hand ring.
It looks particularly harsh in this weird, dark room!
It's twelve o'clock exactly at midnight!
The faucet in the kitchen suddenly opened, and the sound of running water startled Hu Ping and the two of them.
"How dare you scare me, the Taoist Master? Aren't you guys afraid of death?"
Hu Ping picked up the mahogany sword and walked out of the bedroom angrily.
Zhao Ligang hurriedly followed.
I turned on the kitchen light and found nothing "abnormal."
Hu Ping turned off the faucet and asked Zhao Ligang angrily.
"Cousin, did you forget to turn off the water when the water was turned off in the afternoon?!"
"Please be careful in the future, people are scary and can scare people to death!"
Zhao Ligang has been exhausted mentally and physically from the torment these days, and his reaction speed and memory are much slower than usual.
Hearing this, he didn't know how to refute, he just scratched his head and said in a daze.
"Really? Maybe I forgot."
The two of them turned around and returned to the bedroom, but they didn't notice that the faucet behind them had been turned off, and the water dripping out of it was actually dark red blood!
There was also a green human face, smiling miserably at Hu Ping and Zhao Ligang outside the window...
After returning to the bedroom, the two of them were so frightened that they had no intention of sleeping anymore.
After checking under the bed to make sure no one was there, they started chatting about whether they had a ride or not.
"Huping, can you Taoist priests get married?"
The little Taoist priest was stunned and replied with a smile.
"It's okay, cousin. We are a decent sect and we are not monks. There are no restrictions on marriage."
Zhao Ligang asked this, but he was actually looking for something to say when he had nothing to say.
But Huping's answer aroused his interest.
"Then when you get married, do you also want to find a female Taoist priest or nun?"
"Brother, stop making trouble!...Nuns belong to monks..."
When the two were arguing, the room was filled with wind.
It was cold and cold, with a fishy smell.
The door that had been closed suddenly opened with a bang.
After hitting the wall, it bounced back.
It looked like someone violently kicked it away!
Hu Ping, who was already nervous, jumped up from the bed with a stack of talismans left by his master.
"How dare you, the monster, to attack Yang's house? Didn't you see that this Taoist master is here?!"
No one answered, but the room got colder.
It was so cold that the air he breathed out turned into billowing white mist.
Then a series of footprints slowly appeared on the floor.
Just like the marks on the glass when your sweaty feet are not wearing shoes...
"The evil beast shall die!"
Seeing this, Hu Ping did not hesitate, took out a lighter, lit a talisman, and threw it in the direction of the footprints.
Just a scream was heard, and the footprints disappeared quickly.
The talisman that was originally stuck in the air fluttered down and instantly set the sofa seat on fire...
"Oh, let me go, this is a new one, it costs more than a thousand yuan!"
Seeing this, Zhao Ligang didn't care much, sat down on it, and used the method of cutting off oxygen to put out the fire.
The fire was out... There was a big hole in the sofa... I still had to pay for a pair of pajamas, plus a bunch of blisters...
Zhao Ligang asked Hu Ping to apply medicine on him while sticking his butt and grinning.
"Cousin, when I saw someone throwing a talisman on TV, didn't it catch fire as soon as I flicked my hand?"
"Why do I have to use a lighter when I get here?!"
The little Taoist priest felt embarrassed when he heard this.
"Well... I don't have enough skill, so I can use tools... but the effect is almost the same..."
Zhao Ligang hesitated for a moment and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Cousin, I have lost so much furniture, do you think you have wiped out the ghosts in the house?"
This time the ghost catching was so unsuccessful that Hu Ping lost confidence in himself.
He hesitated upon hearing this.
"I guess..."
It’s a pity that the slap in the face always comes so suddenly:
Before the little Taoist priest finished speaking, the two brothers suddenly saw the light outside the window.
It's not the feeling of dawn, but hazy, like the morning fog.
I hurriedly leaned out the window to check, and saw an extra market in the open space of the community. I don’t know when.
Inside the market, there were dense crowds of people.
It's just that these people are wearing the shrouds they wear only when they are dying, and they walk silently with their heads lowered.
The whole market was silent and lifeless.
To outsiders, it looks like watching an old black and white silent movie...
Hu Ping was so shocked by this scene that he pulled Zhao Ligang, who was also panicking, from the window sill and covered his mouth with his hand.
"How could it be so evil! Ghost Market!"
Note: Can Taoist priests get married?
Patriarch Wang Chongyang stipulated at the beginning of the establishment of the religion: "Mortal people must first practice Taoism according to these twelve words: stop drinking, sex and wealth, cling to love and thoughts, and worry and think."
The Quanzhen Religion believes that the seven worldly emotions and five desires are obstacles on the road to spiritual practice, and only by getting rid of them can one achieve enlightenment.
Therefore, Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect must become monks and live in meditation and practice. They must not marry, eat meat, or drink alcohol.
In addition, there is also the "Ten Precepts of the First Truth" that stipulates that "the fourth precept must not be corrupted by sexual immorality, impure spiritual energy, and must maintain chastity to avoid any violations."
Another major sect of Taoism, the Zhengyi sect, which is the sect to which Hu Ping belongs, has less strict rules.
The Zhengyi sect, which focuses on Fu Lu Zhai Jiao, is very down-to-earth. It does not need to become a monk and practice, and it can also get married and have children.
The founder of Taoism, Tianshi Zhang Daoling, has passed down the position of Tianshi from generation to generation and inherited it by his descendants. It has developed for more than sixty generations now.
The Tianshi family and the Confucius family were known as "Southern Zhang and Northern Confucius", which lasted for thousands of years.
Master Ge Hong and his wife Bao Gu were both disciples of Taishang Xuanmen. While they devoted themselves to practicing Taoism, they also practiced medicine.
The two of them got married, supported each other, and eventually both became enlightened.
