    Standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple for a long time, Qingyang remembered that when he left, the old Taoist Songhe once said that when he was tired, he might go to the old monk Kongji, maybe he moved to the old monk Kongji to retire.  It's better to go to Qinglong Temple to look for it first.

    Although Qinglong Temple is located in Qinglong County under Xiping Prefecture, its scale is much larger than that of Songhe Old Taoist Xiping Temple.  Qinglong Temple was built on Qinglong Mountain near the county seat. The entire temple covers an area of ??tens of acres and has nearly a hundred monks. It has a certain influence in several surrounding prefectures.

    It took another day and night for Qingyang to reach the bottom of Qinglong Mountain. From the foot of the mountain, there are wide stone steps leading to the top of the mountain. This one alone sends the Xiping Temple a hundred and eight thousand miles away.  On the top of the mountain, a simple and unsophisticated temple is built on the mountain, hidden among the towering ancient trees, it looks quiet and imposing, solemn and magnificent.

    Qinglong Temple is not as remote and inaccessible as Xiping Temple. There are often pilgrims here to offer incense and vows. From time to time, people go up the mountain on the avenue, so the main entrance is open, so you can come and go as you please.

    However, Qingyang did not go through the main entrance, but turned around a small road and walked around for a while. From a distance, he saw a side entrance next to the temple. When he was a child, Qingyang and his master came to look for the old monk Kongji.  side.

    Qingyang was about to step forward, but found that someone was there first, a young man suddenly took a few steps, rushed to the side door, and slammed his fist on it fiercely.  This young man was in his early thirties, wearing a half-new silk shirt, with greasy eyes, and he didn't look like a kind person.

    After waiting for a while, seeing no movement inside, the man slammed on the door a few more times, saying: "Old liar, open the door, you have the ability to cheat money, you have the ability to open the door, don't hide inside and don't make a sound,  I know you're at home, bah, open the door, open the door, open the door!"

    With such a big commotion, there was finally a reaction inside. Not long after, the side door opened, and a tall monk bent down and got out from the side door.  The monk was stout, almost taller than the door. He stood there like an iron tower, looked down at the young man in front of him, folded his palms together, and said in a low voice, "Amitabha, who is the benefactor looking for?"

    The young man originally wanted to show off, but when he saw this tall monk, his aura suddenly weakened by half, and he said: "I'm looking for an old Taoist priest, he cheated me of money, don't cover it up, I saw him hiding here with my own eyes  .¡±

    Hearing this person mention the old Taoist priest, the tall monk couldn't help but frowned, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said in a muffled voice, "Wait, I'll go find him."

    The tall monk turned and left, and walked out with an old Taoist priest not long after.  Seen from a distance, the old Taoist priest was thin, with white beard and hair, and a slightly hunched back. He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and he looked old-fashioned when he walked.

    However, looking closer, the old Taoist priest's face was rosy, his eyes were restrained, full of energy, and there was a faint smile on his face, which did not look like a dying old man at all.

    Seeing the old Taoist priest, the young man suddenly became angry, rushed forward and shouted: "It's you, old liar, I found you, return my money quickly."

    The old Taoist narrowed his eyes, pretended to be drunk, and said, "What money?"

    Seeing the old Taoist pretending to be confused, the young man said angrily: "What money? I bought the peach blossom talisman from you for five taels of silver. If you say you use the peach blossom talisman on the girl you like, she will obediently follow me.  Not only did I try without success, but I was beaten severely and stayed in bed for half a month before recovering, and you will accompany me for money and medical expenses."

    The old Taoist smiled and said: "I've said it before, sincerity makes you smart, and your heart is upright. If your heart is neither sincere nor upright, of course it won't work. How can you blame me?"

    This young man is a libertine. Some time ago, he fell in love with a woman who came to the mountain to offer incense in Qinglong Temple, so he suddenly had evil thoughts and wanted to use hidden means to use force.  Taoist priests ruined good things.

    The young man wanted to beat up the old Taoist priest, but he was fooled by the old Taoist priest. Not only did he clear up his suspicions, but he also bought him a peach blossom talisman for five taels of silver.  After going back, the young man experimented with the peach blossom talisman, but not only failed, he was also caught and beaten by the woman's family. Only then did he realize that he had been cheated, so he came back angrily.

    Seeing that the old Taoist priest used the same rhetoric to deceive himself again, the young man suddenly became furious, and said, "Do you think I'm really a fool? Why are you sincere? It's all nonsense. I think you are a big liar. Hurry up and make up for it!"  I have money."

    The old Taoist leaned against the door frame of the side door, spread his hands, and said, "But I bought wine and drank all the silver, and there is no silver.How can I pay you back?  "

    Before the young man could speak, the tall monk next to him spoke first, complaining: "Amitabha, senior, are you drinking in our monastery again? You are going to anger the Buddha."

    The old Taoist said indifferently: "Where are there any Buddhas? They are just a few mud tires. Your master doesn't even bother with the Taoist priest. Can you, a young monk, care about it?"

    Hearing the old Taoist's blasphemy against the Buddha, the tall monk was terrified. He didn't dare to talk anymore, and quickly stepped aside, clasped his hands together, kept chanting his sins, and begged the Buddha for forgiveness.

    The young man finally found a chance to speak, and said: "I don't care, anyway, you have to pay me back the money, plus the medical expenses, the total is ten taels. If you don't pay me back today, I will report to the police."

    The young man refused to let him go, and the old Taoist had no choice but to touch it from his bosom, and finally took out a jade wrench, saying: "I don't have any silver, but I do have a jade wrench, which is worth more than fifty taels of silver, deduct the ten taels,  You still want to find me more than forty taels, take it if you have it.¡±

    Seeing that the old Taoist was so talkative, the young man couldn't believe it. He was also a man of knowledge, and he could roughly estimate the value of the jade wrench, knowing that the old Taoist hadn't fooled him.

    The young man originally thought that it would be great to get back his five taels of silver, but he just opened his mouth like a lion, but he didn't expect that the other party agreed, and he could get five taels more. How could he miss such a good thing?  It's a pity that after searching all over the body, only a dozen taels of silver were found, which is far from more than forty taels.

    In desperation, the young man had no choice but to say: "Well, I don't bring that much money, can the old man wait for a while, I will go down the mountain to get the silver"

    The young man was interrupted by the old Taoist priest before he finished speaking, and said: "The next trip to the mountain will take at least several hours. How can I have so much time to wait for you, Daoist? I won't wait after the deadline."

    Not waiting for expiration?  This is how to do?  How could the silver that was so hard to get make him fly?  The young man was in a dilemma for a while.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
