After standing at the gate of the Taoist temple for a long time, Qingyang remembered that when he left, old Taoist Songhe once said that when he was tired, he might find old monk Kongji. Maybe he moved to the old monk Kongji to provide for the elderly, or go to Qinglong temple first.

Although Qinglong temple is located in Qinglong County under Xiping Prefecture, its scale is much larger than that of Xiping Temple of Songhe old road. Qinglong temple is built on Qinglong mountain beside the county. The whole temple covers an area of dozens of Mu and has nearly 100 monks. It has a certain influence in several surrounding governments.

Qingyang spent another day and night at the foot of Qinglong mountain. From the foot of the mountain, the broad stone steps led to the top of the mountain. This alone threw Xiping Temple out for thousands of miles. On the top of the mountain, an ancient temple was built on the mountain, hidden in towering ancient trees. It looks quiet and powerful, solemn and magnificent.

Qinglong temple is not as remote as Xiping temple. It is inaccessible. Pilgrims often come here to pray and repay their vows. People go up the mountain from time to time on the avenue, so the main gate is open and you can go in and out freely.

However, Qingyang didn't go to the main gate, but turned a path and walked around for a while. From a distance, he saw a side gate next to the temple. When he was a child, Qingyang once came with his master to find the empty silence old monk, which was the way he went at that time.

Qingyang was about to come forward, but he found that someone took the first step. A young man suddenly grabbed a few steps, rushed to the side door and hit it with his fist. The young man was in his early thirties, dressed in a semi-new silk shirt, with greasy eyes. He didn't seem to be a good man.

After waiting for a few seconds, he saw that there was no movement inside. The man smashed on the door again and said, "old liar, open the door. You have the ability to cheat silver. You have the ability to open the door. Don't hide inside and keep quiet. I know you're at home. Bah, open the door!"

There was a response to such a big noise. Before long, the side door opened and a tall monk bent down and drilled out of the side door. The monk was strong and almost surpassed the door. Standing there like an iron tower, he looked down at the young man in front of him, folded his palms and said in a voice: "Amitabha, who are you looking for?"

The young man wanted to be a bully, but when he saw the tall monk, his momentum immediately weakened and said, "I'm looking for an old Taoist who cheated me of my money. Don't cover up. I saw him hide here with my own eyes."

When the man mentioned the old Taoist priest, the tall monk frowned and his face suddenly became ugly. He said in a dull voice, "wait, I'll find him."

The tall monk turned and left. It wasn't long before he came out with an old Taoist. From a distance, the old Taoist was thin, with white hair and beard, and his back was slightly hunched. He wore an old Taoist robe and looked old when walking.

However, looking closer, the old Taoist had a ruddy face, reserved and full of energy in his eyes, and a faint smile on his face. He didn't look like an old man at all.

Seeing the old Taoist priest, the young man immediately got angry from his heart, rushed forward and shouted, "it's you, old liar. I can find you and return my silver quickly."

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes, made a drunken look and said, "what silver?"

Seeing the old Taoist pretending to be confused, the young man angrily said, "what silver? I spent five liang of silver to buy the peach blossom amulet from you. You said that if you use the peach blossom amulet to the woman you like, the other party will obediently follow me. As a result, I tried, but I didn't succeed. I was beaten up and kept in bed for half a month. You accompany me with silver and medical expenses."

The old Taoist smiled and said, "as I said, sincerity is the spirit, and integrity is the spirit. Your heart is neither sincere nor correct. Of course it doesn't work. How can you blame me?"

The young man is a dissolute. Some time ago, he fell in love with a woman who came to the mountain to offer incense in Qinglong temple. Therefore, he suddenly had evil thoughts and wanted to use powerful means secretly. As a result, he somehow met the old Taoist and was spoiled by the old Taoist.

The young man wanted to beat the old Taoist, but he was fooled by the old Taoist. He not only cleared up his grievances, but also spent five Liang silver to buy him a peach blossom amulet. After returning, the young man took the peach blossom talisman to experiment. Not only did he fail, but also he was caught and beaten by the woman's family. At this time, he realized that he had been cheated, so he came down in anger and found the scene.

The old Taoist deceived himself with his original words. The young man was furious and said, "do you think I'm really a fool? What's sincere? It's totally nonsense. I think you're a big liar. Compensate me quickly."

The old Taoist leaned against the door frame of the side door, spread his hands and said, "but I bought the silver and drank it into my stomach. How can I pay you back without the silver?"

Before the young man opened his mouth, the tall Heshang next to him spoke and complained, "Amitabha, elder, have you been drinking in our temple again? You want to annoy the Buddha."

The old Taoist said indifferently, "where is the Buddha? It's just a few clay fetuses. Your master doesn't bother to master Guan. Can you manage it as a little monk?"

Hearing the words of the old Taoist priest blaspheming the Buddha, the tall monk was frightened and dared not talk any more. He quickly stepped aside, put his hands together, kept talking about his sins and asked the Buddha for forgiveness.

The young man finally found a chance to speak and said, "I don't care. Anyway, you must pay me back, plus the medical expenses, a total of ten Liang. If you don't pay me back today, I'll report to the official."

The young man was unwilling to let go. The old Taoist had no choice but to touch it from his arms. Finally, he took out a jade wrench and said, "I don't have any silver. There is one jade wrench, which is worth more than 50 liang of silver. After deducting the ten Liang, you have to find me more than 40 Liang. Take it if you have one."

Seeing that the old Taoist is so talkative, the young man can't believe it. He is also a person who knows the goods. He can estimate the value of the jade trigger and knows that the old Taoist didn't deceive him.

The young man thought it would be nice to get his five Liang silver back. He was just a lion. Unexpectedly, he could get five Liang more when the other party agreed. How can he miss this good thing? Unfortunately, after searching all over the body, I only found more than ten liang of silver, which is far from more than forty Liang.

In desperation, the young man had to say, "well, I didn't bring so much money. Can the old man wait a moment and I'll go down the mountain to get the silver..."

Before the young man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old Taoist priest and said, "it will take at least a few hours to go down the mountain. Taoist, how can I have so much time to wait for you? I can't wait until it expires."

Overdue? What can I do? How can he fly with the silver he finally got? The young man was in a dilemma.
