The autumn wind rustled, blowing the red leaves all over the mountain.
A man in a gray robe with a lean face walked up from the foot of Baishui Mountain.
When he saw the Taoist boy guarding in front of the Taoist temple at the mountain gate, he handed a black and gold post and said politely, "Thank you, the Taoist priest, Xiangzhangli Taoist priest. pass."
The young Taoist priest with an immature face saluted, looked at the man with curiosity, and said calmly, "You're welcome, layman."
He turned around and walked towards the Taoist temple in the mountain.
At that time, Taoism and Buddhism were respected, but among the upper classes, Taoism was more popular.
Although Baishui Temple lives in seclusion in the mountains, the master of Baishui Temple, Taoist Lingwei, is somewhat mysterious and is sought after by high-ranking officials.
Therefore, even if this person is a servant of a wealthy family, he does not dare to act recklessly here.
Not long after, the little Taoist priest returned to the mountain gate and made an inviting gesture, and the middle-aged man followed the little Taoist priest in.
The Taoist temple is not big, and soon we arrived at the Hanzhen Courtyard of Taoist Changli.
This is the courtyard where Baishui Temple entertains distinguished guests.
After leading the people there, the Taoist boy saluted again, "Please, layman."
He waited outside the door, and the servant also entered the courtyard at this time.
It is simple and unpretentious, with a big tree planted in the middle, with lush branches and leaves, covering one side.
Under the tree stands a simple stone table, with a pot of hot tea brewing on the table, and a young Taoist sitting at the table.
The green Taoist robe looks particularly light and leisurely on this person.
There are a few bamboo inscriptions embroidered on the Taoist robe, which makes it even more elegant and profound.
The man's brows and eyes seemed to be shrouded in the green mountains and green waters.
At first glance, he seemed to be seeing beautiful mountains and rivers, and he just felt that the beauty of heaven and earth was integrated into his body.
When he looked again, he seemed to have a wisp of ink and calligraphy, just like a painting painted by a brush.
The fairy in the painting is far away from the world of mortals and yet steps into it.
The servant lowered his head deeply when he saw this Taoist for the first time, and sighed in his heart.
In terms of appearance and character, this eldest son must be the best among Xie's peers.
It's a pity that He cheered up and said respectfully, "Taoist Changli, the end of October is Mrs. feast".
Participating in the birthday banquet instead of hosting the birthday banquet.
As the direct descendant of the Xie family in Xunyang, Xie Shu could only get a notification when the master's family was preparing to hold a birthday banquet.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have returned to his master's house to fight for his due status.
Unfortunately, Xie Shu was not an ordinary person.
It didn't matter whether he was the direct eldest son or the Xie family in Xunyang, he didn't care.
Although Xie Shu was born in this era, he also understood the strong patriarchal concepts of this era, but he understood but did not necessarily abide by them.
Etiquette and law have always been used to restrain the lower class people, and the punishment cannot be used to punish the officials.
The same is true for etiquette.
With his current special status, he does not need to have any scruples about the Xie family of Xunyang.
Xie Shu is the eldest son of the head of the Xie family in Xunyang, and his mother is the wife of the head of the Xie family and the mistress of the Xie family.
Unfortunately, his mother died in childbirth on the day he was born.
His father remarried a year later, and his stepmother soon gave birth to a young son.
Xie Shu's existence soon became embarrassing.
The father was indifferent to his son, the stepmother was lukewarm to the stepson, and Xie's servants were neither far nor near to the young master.
Even if he is the eldest son, it is difficult to live without the support of his parents.
Fortunately, the Xie clan is very fond of the identity of the eldest son, and they saved Xie Shu's life before he was five years old.
After he was five years old, a wandering Taoist priest came to the door of the Xie family.
He said that the eldest son of the Xie family was destined to the Taoist sect and asked him to enter the Taoist sect to practice.
The head of the Xie family agreed with a wave of his hand, and Xie Shu left with the Taoist priest.
Xie Shu, who was still young, was neither noisy nor fussy, but he was indeed a bit silly as the servants said.
Seeing this, his father completely let go of his last regret and let him go.

On the way out of Xunyang, Xie Shu turned the immortal Yunyou Taoist into dregs, and the few servants who followed him also followed.
This kind of Taoist priest who doesn't even have a Taoist disc, that is, his father can give his son to him.
To be honest, if Xie Shu hadn't sensed the blood connection with his father, he would have even thought that his mother Hongxing was cheating on her.
Look at the look on his father's face that he wished he could die, and he was so different from the servant who took care of him, Fucheng.
It was exactly the same when it came to stealing from his wife.
Thinking of the whispering sound in the dense forest, it brought a bit of terror for no reason.
In the flat land atmosphere, a few handfuls of dust on the ground will be blown away by the wind.
Xie Shu, who stood there like a jade sculpture, looked at the scene in front of him quietly, neither sad nor happy.
He walked toward the forest step by step with strange steps.
His footsteps fell without leaving any trace, as if they were floating in the air.
He found an undercurrent, used his natural water spirit body to dive into the water, and followed the water veins all the way.
Xie Shu felt that he had already traveled thousands of miles to Xunyang and stepped out of the water veins.
Later, he sensed a relatively capable Taoist, so he went to his door and entered his Taoist temple.
In the Taoist temple is an old Taoist priest with white hair and childish face.
When the old Taoist priest saw such a white jade doll with such a high level of cultivation and a pure Taoist aura, he thought that some senior had solved the mystery of the womb and was reincarnated, so he respectfully enshrined Xie Shu in the body.
Taoist temple.
The old man and the young man got along very well.
The old Taoist priest practiced Taoism's authentic skills, but they were not very advanced.
At most, they could only reach the realm of golden elixir.
It's a pity that the old Taoist priest had no one to guide him in his early years, and later his longevity was approaching and he no longer had the conditions to make a breakthrough.
Otherwise, his longevity would not have been so short and he would have passed away in just ten years.
In the past ten years, the old Taoist priest and Xie Shu have been like a pair of old friends, discussing Taoism, sometimes cherishing each other, sometimes quarreling, and each has gained something.
Of course, the old Taoist priest has gained more.
The life in the mountains was very pleasant.
Although their lives were poor, the two of them were able to make trouble quietly and enjoy themselves until the old Taoist priest passed away.
Before his death, he also handed over all his wealth to Xie Shu, wrote some letters asking him to make some friends, and then left with a smile.
The old Taoist priest came from a wild background.
He accidentally picked up a broken Kung Fu book and started practicing it.
Fortunately, he had extremely high qualifications and was able to achieve something.
Before he died, he thought that Xie Shu had nowhere to go, so he asked him to go to the places of some old friends.
With his cultivation and proficiency in Taoism, those Taoist temples must treat him as an ancestor.
After Xie Shu came out of the mountain, he learned that this place was thousands of miles away from Xunyang, and there was a small city at the foot of the mountain.
He had no way to lead, but it was very easy to use some deception techniques.
He went all the way north and finally found Taoist Master Hanxu, one of his old Taoist friends.
He came to visit, and Taoist Master Hanxu saw the last words of his old friend.
He felt sad but also relieved.
What a Taoist man seeks is freedom and ease.
"What Taoists seek is to be free and at ease, to transform into heaven and earth, and return to nature, so that's fine":
