Qinglong Mountain is a mountain in the old area of Yimeng in China, there is a mountain in the north of Qinglong Mountain, the local people call it White Tiger Mountain, the two mountains are one south and one north, facing each other from afar, there are many ancient myths and legends that have been handed down.
There is a cave in the mountain behind Qinglong Mountain, the local people call it "Immortal Cave", according to legend, there are immortals living in the cave, some people say that this hole is drilled out by a dragon, some people say that the water in this cave is connected with the East China Sea, put some firewood in the cave, float to the East China Sea the next day, all kinds of legends have cast a mysterious veil on Qinglong Mountain and Immortal Cave.
There is a temple on the mountainside, it was a temple in the Tang Dynasty, and then for some reason all the monks ran out, and the temple was abandoned, and only a pile of ruins was left when it collapsed.
However, the locals still often go to the temple to burn incense and make vows, and in the hearts of the locals, this temple has the existence of gods.
Until one day, the nearby villagers found that in the ruins of the temple, a thatched house had been erected at some point, and a ragged old Taoist lived in the thatched house.
The locals are very strange, but no one cares, and there are even many well-wishers who see Lao Dao pitiful and occasionally send some food to Lao Dao, and Lao Dao lives here.
After Lao Dao stayed, he often gave people from several nearby villages to see the disease, and Lao Dao's medical skills were extremely clever, and Lao Dao could cure both large and small diseases. After a long time, people from nearby villages will come to Lao Dao for healing, and for a while, Lao Dao has become a living immortal in the hearts of the locals.
There is a village called Gujiazhuang under Qinglong Mountain, only a few hundred meters away from the temple, the New Year is approaching, the whole Gujiazhuang is lively, the villagers who go out to work have gone home to celebrate the New Year, the village is full of the atmosphere of the New Year.
A young man in his twenties came out of Gujiazhuang, followed the crooked mountain road to the thatched hut on the mountainside, and saw that Lao Dao was fiddling with herbs in the courtyard, the young man hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Master Baidao, is Haotian at home?" ”
Lao Dao looked up when he heard the sound, and then smiled: "It's Haokui!" When did you come back? ”
The young man grinned and said, "I just came back this morning, and these two boxes of soybean milk powder and this box of honey are my filial piety to you." After speaking, the young man hurriedly put the things he was carrying on the bench beside him.
"You kid, why are you buying me these! Buy me something every time, and don't spend money in the future. Lao Dao looked at the young man and smiled.
"It's right to honor your old man, Bai Daoye, isn't Haotian at home?" The young man looked at the room and hurriedly asked.
"That stinky boy went to Hujiazhuang at the bottom of the mountain, the son of the old beard doesn't do his job every day, he is a young man in his twenties, he doesn't even have a target, he is idle all day long, he wants to find me to take a look, so I let the stinky boy go." Lao Dao picked up the bowl and drank a sip of water, and smiled.
"Then I'll come back in the evening, Bai Daoye, you are busy first, I'll go back first." The young man laughed.
"Let's stay and eat together! The stinky boy is coming back soon. Lao Dao looked at the young man and smiled.
"No, I'll go back first, and come back in the evening." The young man said that he didn't wait for the old way to stay and walked down the mountain
"Xiantang hurriedly burns a furnace of incense, and the incense spreads information to all directions!
Today, there is something to invite, and there is a Taoist immortal family to come to the hall quickly!
The road is high, why not be afraid of mountains and rivers, and the altar is really high!
So far, today, the magic method has been revealed, and he is famous all over the world! ”
The sound of a ballad echoed through the room, and a boy of seventeen or eighteen was shaking his head and singing 'Please Immortal Mantra'.
There are nine pillars of incense inserted in the incense burner on the offering table, and the cigarette smoke is swirling, and a young man in his twenties is kneeling in front of the offering table, and a middle-aged couple is nervously watching the young man's practice on the side.
After the boy finished singing and drinking, suddenly the boy trembled, and then the boy lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then spit the smoke in his mouth on the head of the young man who was kneeling on the ground. The young man spat three puffs of smoke on the young man's head in succession, and then sang the 'mantra of checking the disease':
"There are few pedestrians in the deep mountains of Yunsuo, and the ancient cave practice is cold all night!
The clear spring is accompanied by cyclamen, and the cigarette smoke is spitting out the truth!
The magic method is profound and frequent, and it is a miracle to heal and shake the spiritual altar!
The opening of the Xuanguan is terrifying, and the Tao is now true! ”
After the boy had finished singing, he got up and went to the offering table, staring at the incense burner with unblinking eyes.
"Hey! It turned out to be the 'family money' that was causing trouble! The boy suddenly turned his head and said to the middle-aged couple on the side.
"Haotian! What is 'house money'? The middle-aged woman asked suspiciously.
"Do you see this incense stick in the middle?" The young man asked, pointing to the middle of the nine incense sticks in the incense burner.
The middle-aged couple and the young man kneeling on the ground hurriedly looked into the incense burner, only to see that the incense in the middle of the incense burner was not incense ash after it was burned out, but a black photo stick, as if it had not burned out.
"The family money is your dead ancestor, and he is reluctant to leave you, so he lives in your house." The boy looked at the puzzled three and explained.
"Haotian, what do you have to do?" The middle-aged man swallowed hard and spat at the young man nervously and asked, and the women and young men also looked at the young man nervously.
The young man didn't answer, took a hard puff of the cigarette in his hand, and then spit the smoke on the young man's head, then his brows became tighter and tighter, and he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man: "Your ancestors are reluctant to leave your house?" ”
"Haotian, you can help him let him leave!" The middle-aged man's face turned pale with fright.
"At ten o'clock tonight, buy a knife to burn paper, burn paper due west, kowtow six times, and then go straight home to sleep, remember, don't look back." The young man looked at the middle-aged man and admonished.
"Yes, I remember." The middle-aged man looked at the young man and said solemnly.
"You'll be fine when you're done, right?" The middle-aged woman asked nervously.
The young man then lit three more incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner, and sang and drank with words in his mouth, but this time the singing and drinking, none of the three people in the room could understand it, and the three of them looked at the young man nervously.
After a long time, the young man stopped, stared at the young man kneeling on the ground, and muttered, "Clothed in shackles and riddled with debts! After finishing speaking, he looked at the middle-aged couple on the side and said: "He is entangled in shackles, he was executed in his previous life, and he was reincarnated with shackles, and he must be unlocked, otherwise everything will not go smoothly whether it is marriage, career, or wealth." ”
"Then how do you unlock the sub?" The middle-aged couple looked at the teenager nervously.
The young man's left hand kept pinching and calculating, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Let Brother Dayong go to the mountain tomorrow!" When the time comes, I'll give him a deed unlock. ”
The middle-aged couple hurriedly thanked him, and insisted on leaving the teenager to eat at home, but the teenager hurriedly shirked it, and then walked out of Hujiazhuang and walked towards the mountain.
"Old man, I'm dying of thirst, bring me a glass of water."
The young man arrived at the thatched hut on the mountainside, looked at the old man who was fiddling with herbs, and smiled.
"Stinky boy, why did you come back? Just now, your brother Haokui came to look for you. Lao Dao, who was cleaning up the herbs, looked at the young man and smiled!
"Ahh My Brother Haokui is back? Then I'll go to him at night. The young man smiled happily when he heard the old man's words.
"There's nothing wrong with that kid from Old Man Hu's house, right?" Lao Dao asked as he handed the water to the young man.
"His family's 'family money' is troublesome, and there are locks, tomorrow I will ask him to come to the mountain and solve it for him." The boy took the bowl and replied.
"Well, you get ready tonight, and you'll do it tomorrow." After Lao Dao finished speaking, he walked towards the house with Yao Lan.
"I'll go cook first, and after eating, I'll go to the third grandfather's house to find Brother Haokui." After the boy finished speaking, he walked towards the hut.
The young man's name is Gu Haotian, who is a native of Gujiazhuang under the mountain, but his mother died of dystocia after giving birth to Gu Haotian, and when Gu Haotian was seven years old, his father fell to his death while collecting medicine on the mountain. After his father's death, Gu Haotian can be said to have grown up eating hundreds of family meals, and the people in the village often gave him some food and clothing when they saw him pitiful.
When Gu Haotian was nine years old, he was playing in the mountains with several children in the village, and accidentally fell into the Qinglong Spring, which is on the mountainside of Qinglong Mountain, a huge spring, and several local villages eat the water of Qinglong Spring, so it was built into a huge pool, which is seven or eight meters deep.
After Gu Haotian fell into the Qinglong Spring, several children were all scared and stupid, and they were all at a loss and didn't know what to do. What is surprising is that at this time, there was a thick green snake at Gu Haotian's feet, otherwise Gu Haotian would have been drowned in the spring, and he happened to be met by the villagers who came to fetch water, and the villagers hurriedly threw down the bucket to save Gu Haotian.
The villagers were shocked to see the green snake at Gu Haotian's feet, and all the children were scared silly, and the green snake got into the water and disappeared after saving Gu Haotian.
Since this incident, the matter of the manifestation of the dragon in the Qinglong Spring has spread, and the people in the nearby villages are more in awe of the Qinglong Spring, and whenever there is a festival in the New Year, the nearby villagers will come to the Qinglong Spring to burn incense and make a wish.
After Gu Haotian was rescued, he had nightmares every night, and then he began to have a fever and talk nonsense, and when the old man next door Gu San came to bring him food, he saw that he was sick, and hurriedly took him to Lao Dao for treatment.
Lao Dao was taken aback when he saw Gu Haotian, saying that Gu Haotian was tricked by the immortal family, and the immortal family wanted to follow him. After hearing this, the old man of Gu San was not shocked and rejoiced, and the excited old man burst into tears.
The ancestors of the ancient family once enshrined the immortal family, and the incense has been passed down for several generations, people within a radius of dozens of miles have come to the ancient family to find the old ancient family to investigate, see a doctor, see feng shui, and exorcise evil spirits, but then I don't know what reason the inheritance was broken, I didn't expect that now there is an immortal family who has taken a fancy to Gu Haotian, how can the old man of the ancient three not be excited!
After looking at Gu Haotian and chattering, Lao Dao told the old man Gu San that he had discussed with the Immortal Family, let the Immortal Family go back to practice first, and then place the Xiangtang after Gu Haotian became an adult.
Lao Dao kept Gu Haotian and raised Gu Haotian as a grandson, and some villagers in the village occasionally sent some food and clothes to Gu Haotian, so Gu Haotian has been living with Lao Dao for almost ten years.
Gu Haotian has followed the old way to collect and dispense medicine since he was a child, and under the teaching of the old way, Gu Haotian's medical skills are much stronger than those taught by experts.
In addition to teaching Gu Haotian's medical skills, Lao Dao also passed on the cultivation techniques to him, Gu Haotian was extremely intelligent, and he made rapid progress under Lao Dao's training
