The young man was eighteen years old, named Gu Congsheng, and the young man was thirteen years old, named Gu Changsheng. Young people are not called longevity, and young people are not called saints. Just because eleven years ago, when the youth was seven years old and the youth was two years old. That spring, the two became orphans.

Their father was the only scholar in the village, and he rushed to take the exam when the boy was born, and he has not been heard from since. When the boy was two years old, his mother went out to look for him, but in vain, he came back and fell ill, and before he survived that spring, he left behind the two-year-old and seven-year-old Gu Changsheng and Gu Congsheng.

In the winter of that year, the boy had a serious illness, there was no Langzhong in the small village, the young man braved the snow and walked more than ten miles to find Langzhong in the town, Langzhong in the town saw that it was a seven-year-old child, and it snowed heavily, and there was little money for diagnosis, and there was a lack of medicinal materials. The young man knelt outside the door for an hour, to no avail, perhaps because it was useless to kneel again, or perhaps because he was worried that his younger brother was seriously ill at home, the young man got up with difficulty and staggered to catch up with the family.

At this time, the unkempt Taoist priest in tattered Taoist clothes stopped the young man, saying that he could save his brother's life, but the consultation fee was a little expensive. At the age of seven, the young man regarded the Taoist priest as a lifesaver, and he was not so depressed as the Taoist priest. begged the Taoist priest to treat his younger brother, saying that he could make money, he could suffer any hardship, but if he couldn't, he could sell himself, and he was afraid that the Taoist priest would not want to go because he had no money. The Taoist priest smiled: "The consultation fee I want is not worldly wealth, but I need part of your blessings to extend my life for a few years, and I have something to do in a few years." But let me be clear, your fortune is much more precious than worldly money, and you can't imagine it. Without waiting for the Taoist priest to finish speaking, the seven-year-old young man rushed to reply: "I am willing, as long as I can save my brother!" The Taoist priest smiled again: "I haven't finished speaking, the most important thing is to save your brother and also need to reduce part of your life to make up for your brother's life, and your fortune will continue to be consumed, and when your fortune is consumed, it is also the time when your brother dies, but according to your fortune, there is no problem for the two brothers to spend an ordinary life safely, you have to think about it." At this time, the young man was full of thoughts about saving his younger brother, and he immediately agreed, and he didn't bother to think about how shocking the Taoist priest's words were, and the saint at that time didn't understand this.

So the Taoist priest followed him to the hut to heal the two-year-old boy at the time, and at the moment the young man agreed, the young man did not know how precious he had lost, but he used the Taoist priest as a lifeline for his younger brother, and this straw in despair allowed the lonely seven-year-old child to find support.

The young man returned to the hut when the Taoist priest went to see the young man, he fainted, his feet and hands were frostbitten, and his legs were frozen and swollen, but fortunately he was determined to save his younger brother and held on, otherwise he would have died on the snowy road for more than ten miles, and he would not have been able to reach the town.

The young man who had fainted dreamed of his mother, who had not survived the spring, and told him to take care of his brother and live well. The young man also dreamed of his father, with a blurred face, a green shirt, and a book in his hand, and no matter how much he shouted, the man did not look back. He also dreamed of his younger brother, who was cured of his illness and kept calling his brother, brother.

When the young man woke up in tears, it was the next morning.

The first thing the young man saw was the Taoist priest, the young man's heart was very warm at that time, and the young man himself didn't know why, the young man only knew that it was the Taoist priest who saved him.

The seven-year-old man struggled to get out of bed to cook, and the Taoist priest did not stop him. So, a seven-year-old child, with his frozen hands, brought a small bench and put it on the edge of the stove, stepped on the bench and was busy on the stove. After the meal was finished, while serving his younger brother, the seven-year-old child's tears fell, not because of his own frostbite, nor because of what happened to his seven-year-old self, but simply because his younger brother was able to eat some food.

This shows that the Taoist priest can really save his younger brother, and thinking of this, he looked at the Taoist priest gratefully. For some reason, the Taoist priest looked at the young man's grateful eyes, but worry flashed in his eyes.

In the days that followed, the villagers would often see the young man carrying a small bamboo basket that was only a little shorter than himself in and out of the mountains to collect medicine, and the medicine was drawn by the Taoist priest, so he took the drawings to collect the medicine. In this way, the villagers were dissatisfied with the Taoist priest, how could they dare to let him enter the deep mountains infested with jackals, tigers and leopards at a young age, and the enthusiastic villagers wanted to help the young man collect medicine, but he refused. Because the Taoist priest said that these medicines must be collected by the young man himself, which is equivalent to using his good fortune to melt his brother's murder, and many villagers cannot find the medicine.

The Taoist priest also said that he would not have an accident if he was blessed, although he would be stabbed by thorns many times when he entered the mountain, sometimes he would fall down the hillside and be injured, and even fell off the cliff a few times, but there was always no danger, he would always hang on the tree and the like, and sometimes he could find rare medicinal materials. The most bizarre thing is that sometimes animals bring medicinal herbs, but the Taoist priest is not allowed to take them himself, saying that this is stealing his own fortune.

The Taoist priest also told himself very seriously that he must not rely on his fortune to deliberately take risks, so that he will die a miserable death, and he will also affect his younger brother, so the young man never dares to be lucky. After a long time, the villagers saw that there were no accidents when they saw the young people collecting medicine, so they stopped insisting on helping to collect medicine. After the youth and teenagers were orphaned, the villagers often gave them some food to help the children through their difficulties, and these young people at that time kept it in mind.

Under the healing of the Taoist priest and the care of the young man, the young man survived the winter of this year, and his health gradually improved. In the autumn of the following year, the boy's illness was finally cured. During this nearly a year, the Taoist priest was only responsible for healing, but in return for eating and living in the young man's home, the Taoist priest taught the young man some medical skills and some medicinal materials, and taught the young man to read and write, so he could often see it. The Taoist priest never allowed the young man to call himself a master, saying that everything he did was exchanged with the young man, and he did not want the young man to have anything to do with him.

In the autumn of the following year, when the youth was eight years old and the boy was three years old, the boy's illness was cured. The Taoist priest also left, and the young man wanted the Taoist priest to stay, but the Taoist priest refused, and the Taoist priest said that he had something to do.

Before the Taoist priest left, the young man looked at the Taoist priest's unkempt hair, insisted on washing and combing the Taoist priest's hair, and took out the wooden hairpin that had already been made to put it on for the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest refused, but the young man still insisted.

The Taoist priest told the young man that he could not have any other connection with him, which was for his good, but the young man still insisted, looking at the young man's persistent gaze, and the Taoist priest gave the young man a pair of tortoise shells in exchange. The Taoist priest only thought about exchanging balances, but how could he not owe each other with the boy and the youth, who had long regarded him as both a master and a father.

The Taoist priest asked the young man to read more of the sage books left by his father at the bedside, and if he read the truth, it was better to read the words, and if he couldn't read it, he should review the words, and the tortoise shell was a thought, so he didn't have to think about it. The Taoist priest didn't expect that the pair of pressure armor he left behind at will bring the two brothers from their ordinary lives into an extraordinary world.

When the Taoist priest left, the young man's eyes were moist, but the Taoist priest said that he was not allowed to cry, and he would live strong in the future, and the villagers never saw the young man cry again, but the young man cried loudly, grabbed the Taoist priest's robe and did not let him go, but he didn't want to pull the beard of the Taoist priest in this nearly a year.

The Taoist priest finally left, and the young man and the young man looked at the distant back and wanted him to come back, but the Taoist priest did not return.

The night before the Taoist priest left, he changed the names of the young man and the boy, he said that the young man's original name was not worthy of him, and he said that the boy's original name could not save him. Therefore, since then, there has been an ancient Congsheng, and there is also an ancient longevity.

The Taoist priest also told the young man that when he dies in the future, the fortune borrowed to extend his life will return to the young man, but it will consume some, and the young man was speechless for a long time after hearing it.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Congsheng was eighteen years old, and Gu Changsheng was thirteen years old.
