Chapter 018: Too Impetuous
The twenty-seven bells at 5:30 in the morning awakened all the creatures within a radius of dozens of miles of Longsu Mountain. What made Song Zhengyang and others dumbfounded was that not long after Zhao Qingshan took Sang Chengdao to the back mountain, groups of birds came to the top of Longsu Mountain, and circled over Qingyun Temple for a long time.
But no matter how tempted these birds were, they refused to fall into the temple. They just hovered in the air, making waves of cheerful and pleasant screams.
When Zhao Qingshan returned to the front yard, the birds in the sky could be described as covering the sky.
"Scene master, these birds are hovering over the sky, and even a bunch of bird droppings has not fallen into the temple. It's really strange!" Seeing Zhao Qingshan coming back, Song Zhengyang quickly came up and said in surprise: "This kind of wonder is something I have never seen in my life!"
"The believers are probably going up the mountain, so let these birds disperse as soon as possible." Zhao Qingshan also looked up at the birds flying all over the sky and said, "How can the quiet place of Taoism be so noisy?"
Song Zhengyang thought Zhao Qingshan's words were said to him, but when he was about to agree, he found that the birds in the air actually dispersed as if they understood Zhao Qingshan's words!
Looking at the birds that had dispersed in the air with a little dumbfounded glance, Song Zhengyang opened his mouth to say something, but unfortunately Zhao Qingshan had already walked towards the front yard gate and didn't even look at him.
Zhao Qingshan, who walked to the door, paused and said, "I want to go down the mountain today. You can take care of the big and small affairs in the temple. Remember not to cause trouble for me."
"Don't worry, the master of the temple, I will be careful." Song Zhengyang has been appointed by Zhao Qingshan as a relatively important position since he entered Qingyun Temple. He is also a leader in Qingyun Temple. Of course, he understands that if you want to maintain your position and get more benefits, the only way is to satisfy Zhao Qingshan!
"Yes." Hearing Song Zhengyang's answer, Zhao Qingshan nodded and said nothing more. After stepping out of the threshold, he shook his body and disappeared on the winding mountain road like lightning.
Zhao Qingshan's purpose of going down the mountain this time was very clear. The Taoist temple had almost used consumables such as incense candles and cinnabar and yellow paper. He had to go down the mountain to buy a batch, so as not to find that there was neither this nor that after going up the mountain, it would be embarrassing.
Originally, he planned to ask Wu Haishou or Chen Zhihua to go down the mountain to purchase it, but considering that there were not many banknotes in his pocket, he was really worried that he would be secretly detained by Wu Haishou and the others.
This is not to say that Zhao Qingshan is suspicious by nature, but that Wu Haishou and others have been free laborers in the temple so far, and he has not clearly stated how much money to give these four people a month as family subsidy.
There are very few Taoist priests in Zhengyi Sect who have not started a family or a career. Except for Sun Wei and the other four, who have divorced and never remarried in the early years, the remaining three have elderly and young people.
Although Zhao Qingshan is greedy for money and bribery, he is not as good as the horses running without giving them food. He just wants to use two or three months to consider the character of Song Zhengyang and the other four. Once this assessment period is over, he will not treat his own people badly.
But under the current circumstances, he will not hand over the financial power to anyone. Everything must be made after the assessment period is over before making detailed arrangements.
What's more, he himself wanted to go down the mountain to relax. Anyway, there was Fan Tong in the Taoist temple, and Ye Qingjun was taking care of him for 24 hours, so he was not afraid of any trouble.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Qingshan turned around and looked at the misty top of the mountain, showing a satisfied smile.
If the progress continues at this speed, Qingyun Temple will truly become the number one Taoist temple in the province in a few months. I believe that Zhenren Xuanyuan would not have guessed that Qingyun Temple will be carried forward in the hands of his disciples, right? If the four masters of Qingyun Temple have passed away, they would be very happy if they knew about it, right?
I went down the mountain all the way, and looked around at the foot of the mountain. After identifying the direction, Zhao Qingshan went into battle lightly. There was a shop selling priestly supplies in Lianhua Town, but the cinnabar needed by Zhao Qingshan could only be bought in the county town.
Therefore, he stopped taking care of the shop in Lianhua Town for this big business, and rushed to the station to get on a half-old bus. Zhao Qingshan, wearing a Taoist robe, once again became the focus of attention on the bus.
An old man in his sixties had just arrived at Longsu Mountain a few days ago and had seen Zhao Qingshan. When he saw Zhao Qingshan getting on the bus, he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhao Qingshan in a very unstandard manner, "Master Qingchengzi, are you going to the county town too?"
Zhao Qingshan bowed and said with some laughter and tears, "Wuliang Tianzun~! Yes, the number of incense candles in the temple is not enough. I have to go to the county town to purchase it, and the old man will also go to the county town?"
"Yes, my daughter is about to give birth. Go and see the little baby." The old man over 60 years old and dark-skinned grinned and said happily: "I am in my sixties, and I can finally be my grandfather!"
"Are you the Qingyun Temple Taoist priest on Longsu Mountain?" Just as the old man was chatting with Zhao Qingshan, a middle-aged man sitting in the seat behind him stood up, walked forward with a passionate face, grabbed Zhao Qingshan's hand, and said, "Hello, hello, I am Lu Aiping's brother, thank you Taoist priest!"
Along the way, nearly fourteen people in the entire carriage were all flattering Zhao Qingshan, making him almost unable to find him.
Everyone in the carriage knew him, and he knew how to salute him when he saw him... This strong sense of vanity eroded Zhao Qingshan's brain all the time. Fortunately, he was pretending almost every day during this period. Even he subconsciously thought that he was really a noble Taoist priest!
Zhao Qingshan, who was filled with all kinds of praise, didn't even remember what he said in the car. It was not until the car entered the station and he got off the car and woke up.
"I'm impetuous, too impetuous!" Zhao Qingshan muttered with regret: "No, if this continues, it will be revealed sooner or later. It seems that I have to find a way to eliminate these distracting thoughts!"
He said that in his mouth, but his eyes were uncontrollably sweeping to both sides, looking at the lace skirt here, and looking at the white legs over there.
Zhao Qingshan sighed, "Oh, I am unstable, you fairies, don't tempt me... It's so weird. I am a Taoist priest from the Zhengyi Sect. Why do you look like those bulls in the real world?!"
With his eyes rolling, Zhao Qingshan smiled, "No, I have to find a way to buy a hidden property at the foot of the mountain, so that all the bullshit rules and regulations will go to hell!"
Of course, Zhao Qingshan was just talking. He also understood that everything was just starting out at the moment. If you want to enjoy it, you have to wait until everything is on track.
"I'm just a life of suffering!" Zhao Qingshan said as he got on a tricycle, "Please go to Jiuli Street."
"Jiuli Street?" The middle-aged man who was about to pedal his bike was stunned and turned around and said, "This little master, Jiuli Street was demolished two years ago when the old city was renovated..."
"Well."
