Chapter 1 The Young Daoist
This mountain is called Qingxia Mountain. The way up the mountain is a winding stone stairs, and there are some slightly wet green moss marks on the stone stairs.
A middle-aged man in his thirties, sweat beads as big as beans kept dripping on the stone steps under his feet, looking extremely tired.
He paused for a moment, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes, and looked forward. The trees were lush and branches were lush. In the gap, a corner of the eaves was faintly exposed. The dark green tiles swayed with the branches and leaves, appearing and full of ancient charm.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, my eyes were empty. The ancient buildings in the deep mountains finally lifted up the mysterious veil, revealing their complete face, no longer being a cover-up.
Behind is the deep bamboo path, in the distance is the cold pine slope, but in front of you is a slightly dilapidated Taoist temple.
Although the Taoist temple is simple and independent of the world, it has a kind of Taoist fairy spirit that is elegant and outstripped. When we arrived here, the middle-aged man felt unconscious and the fatigue of rushing to the road just now disappeared a lot.
The man took a breath, and the fresh air was sent into his spleen and lungs. There was a sweet smell, and his tired legs gave birth to a lot of energy. He quickly walked to the front of the door. The vermilion paint on the door post had fallen off a lot. However, the door plaque of this temple was made of unknown material and did not fade.
The three words "Qingxia Temple" in small seal script are simple, neat, with strokes and combinations of rigidity and softness, depicting the distant and independence of the pioneers.
There is a couplet on both sides: "The heart is like a white cloud and always free, and the mind is like flowing water to do things."
The ink traces are still very new, obviously it has been added recently, with sparse and orderly brushwork, which has the interest of moving clouds and water flowing.
The middle-aged man didn't have much ink in his chest, and he just felt that the couplet felt a little sensible when read, but he couldn't say it well, and it was difficult to understand the Qingxuan and Yiran in it.
He grabbed the iron ring on the door, first hit the worn-out door panel hard, and the sound was very loud. The man himself was startled, and then hesitated for a moment, and the force was lighter, less urgent, and he seemed much more polite.
Not long after, maybe a cup of tea was gone, the door slowly opened.
There was a very young Taoist priest inside the sect, who was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. There was a little smell of herbs that were not very bad.
The little Taoist priest's facial features were very upright and even a little delicate, but his body was a little thin. Even though he was covered by his wide feather clothes, he could vaguely see his thin figure, his face was slightly dark yellow, and his physical condition was not so good and he was a little sick.
His name was Li Feng. To be precise, his soul did not belong to this world, but came from a small doctor on Earth who runs an outpatient clinic and has a good income. He has a house and a car. He can't be a winner in life, but he still can't live a favorable life.
But such a life that is not up or down is very tired after too long.
That day, I drove home, but I didn't expect that I had a car accident at an intersection. When I woke up, I had already changed my body.
But if he really traveled through time, he realized that not every traveler was so lucky.
Three months ago, he became the new owner of the body named Shen Lian, and he was very destined to be. Since he had occupied other people's body, Li Feng simply accepted Shen Lian's identity, which was a slight apologization for his ex-boy.
Speaking of which, his body is not without origin. His mother came from here and went a hundred miles away. The Shen family, a wealthy business family in Qingzhou Prefecture, got pregnant before marriage when her mother was seventeen years old. But no one knew who his father was, and his mother even beaten to death.
He even insisted on giving birth to him.
Pregnancy before marriage really made his mother's father, Mr. Chen, so angry, but the Shen family had only one daughter, so Mr. Chen was angry no matter how angry he was, he could not be cruel to her mother, and thus cut off the relationship between father and daughter.
But two years ago, his mother died young.
After he had no mother, he had no sense of belonging in the Shen family. On weekdays, many people in the Shen family called him a bastard behind his back, and he could not imagine how he would live the next life.
He then offered to Mr. Shen and his two uncles as a substitute to become a monk and pray for the Shen family.
It is common for a substitute to become a monk in wealthy families. They usually find a family to have children. No matter how unknown the origin of this body is, it still has half of the blood of the Shen family, so he doesn't need to do such things. However, Mr. Shen still agreed to his ex's request.
After all, there are so many family properties in the Shen family, and this body is half of the blood of the Shen family. The local customs and daughter also has the power to inherit some of the family properties. Even if this part of the family property is under her control in the dowry when she got married, she will take charge of it.
Local dowry is usually handed over to her since the girl and the hairpin. When she got married, some land deeds and shops had long been hung with her name.
His mother was not kicked out of the house when she was pregnant before marriage. She had the willingness of Mr. Shen to love her daughter, and if her mother left home, that part of the industry would be taken away. Even if the Shen family had a big business, this part of the industry would be very considerable.
After his mother passed away, his ex-boy naturally should have inherited that part of the industry. With his young age, even if Mr. Shen and his two uncles were not bad to him, it was hard to guarantee whether the two daughters-in-law of the Shen family would have any bad thoughts. You must know that as long as he dies, that part of the industry will naturally be under the name of the Shen family.
The two uncles each have their own children. Even if they are not bad for their ex, he is still an outsider after all. It is naturally great to be able to leave more things for his children.
Of course, his ex-girlfriend became a monk and practiced Taoism, but he didn't expect this. After all, he was still young at that time, but he was unwilling to rely on others and had a self-esteem. Another reason was that his father, who had no idea of his origin, left a book of martial arts. He had sorted out his mother's relics and discovered it by chance, but for some reason, his mother did not hand it over to him.
In order to practice the martial arts, my ex naturally tends to find a private place.
The Shen family is very rich, and Qingxia Temple and the entire Qingxia Mountain belong to the Shen family. The Shen family is at ease when sending their ex here.
If the ex is addicted to practicing Taoism and no longer returns to secular life, it is the best.
Usually, the villagers at the foot of the mountain help to maintain it. After he arrived at Qingxia Temple, the villagers at the foot of the mountain also brought food and clothing.
During important days during festivals, the Shen family will send servants to deliver something, and they have never forgotten him.
Living alone in Qingxia Mountain, villagers come to help clean on weekdays, and he can even invite people to cook. After all, the Shen family doesn't have enough money, so he has time to study the skills he found.
