Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly, "Daoist, I heard you stayed at Qingyuan Temple back in the day?"
"Yes!"
"I heard you broke the five precepts in one day?"
"That's a real injustice!" the Daoist said. "I—oh no, this humble Taoist did break the five precepts, but how could it possibly be within one day? Killing, eating meat, drinking alcohol, and lying were on the first day; comforting the lonely female benefactor's soul was the next day! Although it was less than twelve hours in total, it was indeed two days. Regarding the distinction between one day and two days, 'Ancient Discussions' clearly states that one day is from midnight to the next midnight, and two days..."
Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, stuffing the stack of bills he was using as a fan into the Daoist's hand: "Daoist, padding out the word count is fine, but being too deliberate might get you beaten up. The three thousand yuan I'm giving you isn't a loan, no need to be too obvious about padding."
