Chapter 1: The Young Taoist

This mountain is called Qingxia Mountain, and the way up the mountain is a winding stone staircase, and there are some slightly wet green moss marks on the stone steps.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, beads of sweat the size of 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 the placket of his clothes, and looked ahead, the forest was full of trees, the branches were luxuriant, and the gap between them, faintly revealing a corner of the cornice, dark green tiles, swaying with the branches and leaves, looming, full of antiquity.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the ancient buildings in the mountains finally lifted the veil of mystery and revealed their full faces, no longer concealed.

Behind is a deep bamboo path, in the distance is a cold pine slope, but in front of you is a slightly dilapidated Taoist temple.

Although the Taoist temple is simple, independent of the world, there is a kind of Taoist immortal aura that is ethereal out of the dust, and when he arrives here, the middle-aged man does not feel that his spirit is clear, and the fatigue of rushing just now has dissipated a lot.

Dahan gasped slightly, the fresh air was sent into the spleen and lungs, some sweet taste, tired legs, gave birth to a lot of strength, and walked quickly to the door, the vermilion paint of the doorpost has fallen off a lot, but the door plaque of this temple, I don't know what material it is made of, it has not faded.

The three characters of "Qingxia View" in the small seal style are simple and neat, with one stroke at a time, combining rigidity and softness, depicting the longevity and independence of the debutant.

On both sides is a couplet: "The heart is like a white cloud, and the mind is like flowing water."

The ink is still very new, apparently added recently, and the brushwork is sparse and sloppy, with a kind of flowing interest.

The middle-aged man didn't have much ink in his chest, and he only felt that the couplet tasted a little good when it was read, but he couldn't say it well, and it was difficult to appreciate the clarity and ease in it.

Grabbing the iron ring on the door, he first hit the dilapidated door panel hard, the sound was very loud, and the big man himself was startled, and then hesitated, and the force was lighter, not so urgent, and it seemed much more polite.

It didn't take long for perhaps a cup of tea to open the door.

Inside the door was a very young little Taoist priest, only about thirteen or fourteen years old. There was still a slight smell of herbs coming from him.

The little Taoist's facial features are very upright, even a little exquisite, but his body is a little thin, even if the wide feather coat covers it, he can vaguely see some thin figure, his face is slightly dull yellow, and his physical condition is not so good, and he is a little sick.

His name was Li Feng, to be precise, his soul did not belong to this world, but a small doctor from the earth, who opened an outpatient shop, had a decent income, a house and a car, and was not a winner in life, but he was still passable.

It's just that the days of not going up and down like this are getting tired of it for a long time.

Driving home that day, I didn't expect to have a car accident at an intersection, and I woke up with a different body.

But when he really let him cross, he realized that not every traverser is so lucky.

Three months ago, he became the new owner of this body named Shen Lian, but it was very fateful, since he occupied other people's bodies, Li Feng simply accepted Shen Lian's identity, which can be regarded as a little apology to the body predecessor.

Speaking of this body, it is not without origin, his mother came from here to go hundreds of miles away, the Shen family, a wealthy merchant family in Qingzhou Mansion, when her mother was seventeen years old, she was pregnant with him unmarried, but no one knew who his father was, and his mother was even beaten to death.

insisted on giving birth to him.

Unmarried pregnancy did make his mother's father, Mrs. Shen, half angry, but the Shen family was only one daughter, so Mrs. Shen was angry again, and she couldn't be ruthless to her mother, so she broke off the father-daughter relationship.

It's just that two years ago, his mother still died young.

After his mother, he had no sense of belonging in the Shen family, and many people in the Shen family called him wild seeds behind their backs, and he couldn't imagine how to live the next days.

He asked Mrs. Shen and two uncles to be willing to become a substitute monk and pray for the blessing of the Shen family.

It is not uncommon for stand-ins to become monks in wealthy families, and they are generally just looking for a family to have children. No matter how unknown the origin of this body is, it also has half of the Shen family's bloodline, and this kind of thing doesn't need him to do it. It's just that Old Lady Shen still agreed to her predecessor's request.

After all, the Shen family has so many properties, and this body still has half of the Shen family's bloodline, local customs, and the daughter also has the right to inherit part of the family property, and this part of the family property is in her own hands even if it is in the dowry when she gets married.

The local dowry was usually given to her by the maiden and the lady, and by the time she got married, some of the title deeds and shops had already been hung with her name.

When his mother was unmarried and pregnant, she was not kicked out of the house, not only because of the willingness of Mrs. Shen's love for her daughter, but also because if Shen Lian's mother left home, that part of the industry would also be taken away, even if the Shen family had a big business, this part of the industry was also very considerable.

After his mother's death, it was only natural that his predecessor should inherit that part of the estate. With his young age, even if the old lady Shen and the two uncles treat him well, it is difficult to guarantee that the two daughters-in-law of the Shen family will not have any crooked thoughts, you must know that as long as he dies, that part of the property will naturally belong to the Shen family.

The two uncles each have children, even if he treats his predecessor well, he is an outsider after all, and it is naturally excellent to be able to leave more things for his children.

Of course, the predecessor became a monk, but he didn't think of this, after all, he was still young at the time, but he didn't want to send someone under the fence, and his self-esteem attacked, and there was another reason, that is, his father, who didn't know the origin, left a book of exercises, which he sorted out his mother's relics and found it by accident, but I don't know why his mother didn't give it to him.

In order to practice that exercise, the predecessor naturally preferred to find a private place.

The Shen family is very wealthy, and Qingxia Temple, together with the entire Qingxia Mountain, belongs to the Shen family. Sending the ex here, the Shen family is also at ease.

If the predecessor is addicted to monasticism and no longer vulgar, then it is the best.

In normal times, the villagers under the mountain help maintain it, and after he arrived at Qingxia Temple, there were also villagers under the mountain who sent food and clothing.

On the important days of the New Year's holidays, the Shen family will also send someone to send something, even if they have not forgotten him.

Living alone in Qingxia Mountain, there are villagers who come to help clean up on weekdays, and even he can ask someone to cook, after all, the Shen family is not short of this little money, so he has time to study the exercises he finds.

This exercise is also called "Shangqing Lingbao Natural Locking Heart and Fixing the True Solution", sprinkled with thousands of words, mainly talking about how to sense the soul, strengthen the soul power, and make its spirit more acute and responsive. Until the soul is strong enough to a certain extent, you can break through the 'Baihui Acupoint' above your head to get out of the body, and there are all kinds of incredible mysteries.
