Qin Liuxi knocked on the temple gate which made a loud banging sound in the quiet night, extremely noisy.
Footsteps approached from afar, and a loud voice asked, "Who is it? The temple gate is closed, come back in the morning if you wish to offer incense."
"It's me, from Li City Qingping Temple. Is Master Chi Yuan here?"
There seemed to be a moment of hesitation inside, then the sound of the bolt being drawn back was heard, and the heavy door was opened from inside. A Daoist in his twenties, dressed in a Daoist robe and with a bamboo hairpin holding up his Daoist bun, appeared in Qin Liuxi's vision.
Holding up a wind lamp, the Daoist sized up Qin Liuxi, surprised by her youth and slightly incredulous, he asked, "From Li City Qingping Temple?"
Qin Liuxi smiled and recited her Daoist name, "Blessings to the Infinite, I am Buqiu, here to look for my master, Master Chi Yuan. May I ask if you can lead the way?"
