Liu Yunxiang didn't dare to guarantee anything, he could only say that this was an opportunity.

There are several Taoist temples on the nearby hills, and they can't go there one by one. The two of them went down the mountain first and sat down in the tea shed at the foot of the mountain.

Pilgrims come and go, and this tea shed has a constant stream of guests.

When the old man in the tea shed served tea, Liu Yunxiang asked him which Taoist temple near him was more effective, and they planned to worship it.

"Yo, these Taoist temples are all good, especially the Sanqing Taoist Temple and the Changqing Taoist Temple, you two can see the Sanqing Taoist Temple when you walk all the way to this road, and then go a little further, the mountain over there is the Changqing Taoist Temple." The old man said.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment and asked: "May I ask if the palace has asked a Taoist priest from a certain Taoist temple to enter the palace to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, the two of us think that this Taoist chief must be powerful, and I want to ask him to do it." ”

"Then I advise you two not to be deceived."

"How do you say that?"

The old man only smiled and didn't speak, but a tea guest next to him said enthusiastically: "Because the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple is a liar, he does not cultivate the Taoism, but eats, drinks and enjoys himself every day, relying on the nobles in the palace to give him the words to deceive." ”

"The nobles in the palace gave him a painting?"

"Yes, I was curious to look at that pair of words, and I even had to give silver, and what was even more ironic was that the words 'God and Buddha are alive' were written, and he also deserved it!"

Liu Yunxiang and Concubine Li glanced at each other, asked the name of the humane temple and how to go, and then the two set off. I walked for more than an hour to come to the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple of Sunset Mountain, and because of the mottled plaque, these words are not clear.

This temple is about to be deserted, the mountain gate is dilapidated, although it is open, but there is not a single pilgrim. The two walked in, and in the incense burner in front of the temple, there was only incense ashes but not a single incense.

There was not even a shadow of a Taoist priest in the four places, and they came to the front hall, and the dust in the hall was thick. Because I didn't see anyone, I had to withdraw and walk behind.

"There won't be no one here." Concubine Li looked at the overgrown place, and for a moment thought that they might have come to the wrong place.

"Didn't the two people at the foot of the mountain say that the Taoist priests here often cheat pilgrims, and slowly no pilgrims are willing to come to this Taoist temple again, and the Taoist temple is abandoned."

The place must be right, but it just matters whether you can see the Taoist priest or not.

Fortunately, the two walked to the backyard and saw a person lying on a bamboo chair sleeping from a distance, his shirt was open, and he scratched from time to time in his sleep, which looked like a Taoist priest, more like a beggar on the street.

Liu Yunxiang stepped forward and knocked on the door, the Taoist priest yawned first, squinted his eyes and looked at the door, and then sat up. He looked again, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and then walked slowly towards him. Walking up to him, he folded his hands in greeting.

"Second layman, you should be from the city, right?" The Taoist priest asked.

Liu Yunxiang looked at this Taoist priest, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, he didn't look like a serious person at first glance, especially when he stared at the two of them, his eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what bad idea he was playing.

"Yes." Liu Yunxiang said.

The Taoist priest smiled, "The two of you came from afar, which shows their pious heart, so go to the front hall with the poor road to worship." Oh, by the way, in order to show piety, you always have to burn three sticks of incense, did you two bring incense? ”

"Nope."

"It's okay, the Taoist temple has. This incense is not expensive, ten taels of silver is a large root, and it can't be burned for three days and three nights. ”

Liu Yunxiang smacked his tongue, what incense costs ten taels of silver, even if you want to pit them, you can't open your mouth like this.

"We are not here to burn incense, we are here to pay homage to the words given by the nobles in the palace." Concubine Li said lightly.

When the Taoist priest heard this, his face showed a look of pride, "The year before last, Concubine Jing in the palace was seriously ill, and the medicine stone was ineffective, so he sent someone to invite the poor Taoist to enter the palace to exorcise evil spirits. As soon as you enter it, you will perceive that there is evil doing evil, so you will start to practice it. After the evil spirit was expelled, the concubine's condition immediately improved. In order to thank the poor Dao, she gave a special gift. ”

As he spoke, the beard on the side of the priest's offended mouth turned up.

"We want to see that." Li Guifei said.

"Yo, this is the treasure of the Taoist temple, how can you easily see it."

"How can we see?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

The Taoist priest sighed, as if he was a little embarrassed, and then said: "I think the two of you are destined people, if you donate some sesame oil money, you can let the two of you take a look." ”

Going around and around, you still need money.

"How much?" Liu Yunxiang asked directly.

"Uh, a hundred taels."

Liu Yunxiang snorted, just looking at it, it costs a hundred taels? They look like they're very good at cheating?

However, it was true, Concubine Li took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and stuffed them to the Taoist priest without saying a word.

The Taoist priest's waist immediately bent, and he said with a smile: "Two distinguished guests, please come in quickly." ”

The Taoist priest led the way, and Liu Yunxiang and Concubine Li followed him into the courtyard. He told them to wait, and he went to the back room to get the letter. Soon he took it out, but stopped a dozen paces away for them to see.

"This one hundred taels can only be seen from such a distance."

Concubine Li took a step forward, and he hurriedly took a step back.

"If you don't follow the rules, then I'll put it away."

Concubine Li secretly gritted her teeth, "If I want to buy this painting, how much will it cost?" ”

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed her, whether this word is true or not, they don't know yet.

The Taoist priest thought for a while, "Then why don't you get ten thousand taels." ”

"Yes, but how do we know if it's true or not?"

"If you're afraid it's fake, then don't buy it, Poor Dao still relies on this character to control this Taoist temple."

What was Concubine Li going to say, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly snatched her words.

"If you are sincere, bring it to us and let us take a closer look at the truth, if not, then forget it. We bought this painting for the collection, but in fact, it is not very valuable. ”

After that, Liu Yunxiang wanted to pull Concubine Li away.

Seeing that the two of them really wanted to leave, the Taoist priest hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, this painting is really written by Concubine Jing herself, you can see that it is from the palace when you look at this silk." ”

When the Taoist priest came over with the words, Liu Yunxiang and the others turned around, as he said, just looking at this silk, it really looked like it came out of the palace.

Liu Yunxiang wanted to take it, but the Taoist priest still refused.

"This Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time, why don't you sell this painting, and eat and drink well in the days to come, isn't it better than staying in this broken Taoist temple?"

This Taoist priest obviously didn't have any Taoist heart, and when he heard this, he was really moved.

"Then be careful, don't break it."

Liu Yunxiang took it, first looked at the word, it was nothing special, and then reversed the weight, it seemed to be a little heavy, she smoothed and stroked the surface, and touched a slight bulge, there seemed to be something in this mezzanine.

She thought about it and donated it.

"Ten thousand taels, we want this letter."
