The human Qi flows slowly in the body and gathers naturally, just like a raging fire that suddenly turns gentle. Two phoenixes are circling in the sky and singing clearly. And below the phoenixes, in this northern winter, where heavy snow is falling, there is a group of wild beasts. These wild beasts are not even those intelligent spirits, but just ordinary beasts.

The Taoist raised his hand and pushed aside the branches in front of him. The branches swayed slightly, and the snow fell with a hiss. He was wearing a clean Taoist robe. In front of him, he saw several winter wolves with bared teeth, slowly walking towards him, opening their mouths to reveal extremely sharp fangs, with cruelty in their eyes, as if they were protecting something.

The old landowner was about the level of a Taoist priest in the human world. He was frightened by the ferocious looks of these winter wolves. He subconsciously raised the wooden stick in his hand, intending to hit these guys who didn't recognize him hard on the head.

But the Taoist only glanced at them, and the evil beasts in the mountains seemed to be frightened and slowly retreated.

Lao Tu was shocked, but then he felt it was natural.

While walking forward, huddled behind the Taoist youth, he looked forward and was startled to see a child surrounded by a group of beasts in a cave in front of him. There were tigers feeding the child, and leopards in the mountains using their soft and warm bellies to keep the child warm. Even the trees in the mountains, which were about to lose their leaves in winter, seemed to stretch out their bodies, using the remaining fallen leaves to shield the wind from the cave entrance for the child.

The old man was stunned and dazed. He subconsciously stopped and stood behind to watch quietly.

Looking at the intertwined trees and vines in front of him, they slowly pushed aside to the sides as if they had spirits, opening up the road ahead; looking at the wild beasts with fangs bared becoming quiet, the phoenix in the sky flapping its wings and circling, the Taoist in a blue robe leaned over and picked up the child from the tiger's arms.

The child smiled and held out his hand to him.

All spirits followed the phoenix's cry. This scene had an indescribable elegance and solemnity. The old land god subconsciously held his breath and watched quietly until the young Taoist came out holding the child. He slowly came back to his senses. The Taoist took off his Taoist robe and wrapped the child, revealing only his face, which looked calm. The old land god still couldn't help but say:

"This child has a really strange bone structure."

"It feels like ghosts don't dare to come near."

The young Taoist said softly: "A strange person has a strange appearance."

He held the child in his arms. The wind and snow grew stronger, but they could not invade within three feet of him. For some reason, when the child met him, he gradually calmed down, with a peaceful expression. He stretched out his hand to grab the young Taoist's black hair and played with it, giggling. At the same time, the human Qi in Qi Wuhuo's body became stronger and stronger.

Drum, drum.

A great number of disasters are about to occur, and a great fortune is about to be born. If people act in it, they will gain something.

The old land master didn't know, but he was a little worried and asked, "However, what are you going to do with this child? Are you going to take him back to the mountain to practice asceticism?"

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and said softly, "No."

The old landowner was puzzled: "What does the emperor mean?"

The Taoist said slowly, "I just asked my friends in the mountains, and they said that the man who brought the child up here was a man dressed as a guard in the human world. Considering the connection, it is probably because of the change of the emperor in the human world. The old man who was born into a noble family did not want to have a scandal of having an illegitimate child at this time, so he secretly asked his trusted guard to take the child out and throw him in the mountains."

"If it weren't for you guys, I'm afraid the child would be in danger."

"However, this child's earthly ties have not yet been resolved."

Qi Wuhuo lowered his head and looked at the child - he was a true disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun Yuxu, and had already entered the realm of cause and effect. In his eyes, the countless causes and effects of this child all pointed to this vast human world, and there was a flowing aura and splendor, brilliant and glorious.

It is because of this world that there is this person; and it is because of this person that we know that this vast world should be filled with stars and wonders, rather than the endless and silent night.

When the great catastrophe is about to begin, humanity will flourish and extraordinary people will naturally emerge.

The young Taoist sighed, as if he understood the inspiration of today. He brushed his finger across the child's brow and said gently:

"I am here now, because of you."

The old land god was puzzled, but the young Taoist walked to the side of the mountain road and then just stayed there, sitting cross-legged on the blue stone. Old pines from the mountains spread out like a canopy, covering the young Taoist's head. The beasts were silent and just followed behind him.

The mountains are covered with snow and wind, only this place is quiet.

The old land god and the mountain god who came after hearing the news stood solemnly by, immersed in the invisible tension and solemn oppression, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The natural way of heaven and earth moves subtly with it?

This level.

Is he really just an earthly immortal?!

The child came to his senses, but was still quiet. The young Taoist stretched out his fingers to tease him and thought for a moment. After all, the child was just born not long ago and was abandoned in the mountains by his father. Even if he was protected by the monsters and beasts in the mountains, his foundation must have been damaged.

Qi Wuhuo thought about it, then slightly closed his five fingers and took out from his own inner world the gifts that the Jade Emperor had given him when he became an "earth immortal". They were all spiritual materials. The child was still unable to bite the peaches, so he only took the nectar and spiritual liquid given by the Jade Emperor and fed it to him gently. Although it was not enough to make him an immortal instantly, it could at least make up for the fact that he was abandoned.

Or you may be physically light or have brute strength.

The God of Land asked in confusion: "What are you waiting for?"

The young Taoist thought for a moment and replied, "I am waiting for his fate."

"Um??"

The old land god was really puzzled and just waited by the side. However, the wind and snow gradually got stronger. It was naturally always warm like spring around the young Taoist. After playing, the child ate the nectar and gained a good foundation. He gradually fell asleep. The old land god and the mountain god also subconsciously moved closer to the young Taoist.

Their foundation in Taoism is not bad, but since they can get some warmth, they might as well take it and save some magic power.

The young Taoist lowered his eyes and looked inward. The human Qi in his body was slowly flowing and rising. It was actually greater than that of the previous two months of practice. The young Taoist was curious about what kind of person the baby in his arms would become. At this time, the old land god suddenly realized something and subconsciously lowered his head to look.

"Huh? Someone's coming?!"

Qi Wuhuo also followed the thread of cause and effect. He could only feel that a very strong thread of cause and effect was approaching the child, so he was waiting here. He also felt the attachment of the beasts in the mountains to the child, so he did not go down the mountain immediately.

But the wind and snow were getting stronger, and the person coming was visible, so Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly.

The mountain god and the land god did the same, staring with wide eyes.

That is...

A woman.

She was young, with a pale face and seemed to be still weak. She staggered as she walked in the wind and snow. The old land god and the mountain god could tell immediately that this woman had just given birth to a child and was weak. She was probably the child's mother. Even though they didn't know why she was with the old nobleman and her reasons, she came here immediately after discovering that her child was abandoned.

The Taoist swept his mind and the snow and wind in the mountains that were gradually getting stronger in front of him stopped in an instant.

The woman had been struggling to move forward. Her family was poor, and the noble had sent servants and guards to take care of the child. But one day the servant took the child away and never came back. The longer time went by, the more worried she became. After asking several times, she found out the way from someone else, and pawned her hairpin and rode in a coachman's carriage to come here.

Even though she knew her child was probably in danger, she still stumbled up in the snow. She was weak, and it was winter, and the snow was especially strong. She was almost on the verge of collapse, but she held on with just a tiny bit of thought, and suddenly the snow stopped.

She looked up in confusion, almost in disbelief, and then she saw someone looming on the side of the mountainside. She immediately tried her best and quickened her pace.

For some reason, at this moment, he felt light and agile, and walked up in one breath.

The further he walked, the warmer he felt his body getting, and the hidden wounds of long years of poverty seemed to be healed. When he looked up again, he saw that the wind and snow on the mountain had suddenly stopped, and the green pine branches stretched out like a canopy. Tigers, black bears, and other wild beasts were crawling behind him. On one side there were old men and strong men standing solemnly, and on the other side was a young Taoist holding his child.

The world below the mountain is like the mortal world, but this place is peaceful and comfortable.

"Child? My child..."

The woman was just shocked by the scene, and then she saw the child in the arms of the young Taoist. She forgot all the feelings that the child was not of this world, like a fairy, a god, a demon or a fox, and ran over quickly. The young Taoist had already stood up to greet her. He leaned over slightly and handed the child in his arms to her.

The woman snatched the child away almost as if she were snatching it away, and holding the child, feeling the child's body temperature and pulse, the resilience and tenacity that had brought her here alone from her hometown and then climbing the mountain in the wind and snow seemed to disappear in an instant. She sat down on the ground, hugging the child tightly, sobbing at first, and then bursting into tears.

When the God of Land heard this, he felt pity, tilted his head, stroked his beard with emotion, and could not bear to watch any longer.

The woman cried for a long time before she calmed down. She saw her child wrapped in a blue Taoist robe and the Taoist was only wearing a white casual suit. It was obvious that the robe belonged to the Taoist. So she bowed to thank him, but was helped up by the Taoist. She told him her life story and it was just as the old local had said. The latter sighed.

The young Taoist asked, "How is the family..."

The woman sobbed, "Now I have to go back to my parents. My father is here to take good care of me. I can weave cloth and feed this child." As she spoke, she still hugged her child tightly. Her face was still a little pale, and it was obvious that she was very worried about losing the child. The young Taoist looked at her, nodded, and said, "That's good. Please extend your hand."

The woman was puzzled and stretched out her hand. Qi Wuhuo drew a talisman in the air, then shook his hand, causing a golden light to fall on the woman and the child. He said softly, "This child will achieve great things in the future. You must raise him well."

The woman bowed again, thinking that the family must be a scholarly family. She asked, "The child has not been named since he was born."

"I don't want his father to name him. Taoist priest and others, please give him a name for saving his life."

The young Taoist said, "It wasn't me who saved him, it was these friends in the mountains who saved him." The Taoist slightly turned sideways, stretched out his hand in the wind and snow, and pointed at the many ferocious beasts in the mountains. All the beasts responded with low roars. The woman who said her name was Yan Zheng was from an ordinary family. She had never seen such a scene before and was stunned.

I just felt my scalp tingling, and I was intimidated by the aura of the ferocious beasts. The hair on my body stood up, and goose bumps appeared. I even had the urge to turn around and run.

But after knowing that these ferocious beasts were the life-saving source of her child, the woman still suppressed her fear, bowed slightly, then glanced at the Taoist over there, and gently placed her child on the bluestone. The tiger let out a low growl in its throat, slowly walked forward, touched the child with its forehead, very gently, and then slowly stepped back.

As if it were a solemn ceremony, the wild beasts in the mountains, which did not even have spiritual powers, bid farewell to the child gently.

The young Taoist listened attentively, then looked at the woman who gently raised her child, and said, "As for the name, these friends in the mountains also have names. They may not be so nice, but if you are willing, you can also consider using their suggestions as the name."

the woman asked.

The young Taoist replied gently, "The tiger hopes to be named Yong, for his bravery; the crane hopes he can be kind; the wolves hope he can walk in front like a leader; of course, they are arguing now, so there is no way to have a choice that everyone agrees on. After arguing for so long, only the last name can be accepted by everyone."

He reached out and touched the child's forehead, and said with a smile: "They found him in this hill."

"You can name it a mountain, or a hill."

"The mountain is high and towering, standing apart from the crowd, majestic and lofty."

"Of course, the final name is still up to you to choose."

The woman was silent for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, I may be letting down the Taoist priest. The name Shan is too majestic, and I don't want the child to have so many setbacks in the future." She smiled, tightened the Taoist robe on the child, and said, "There's a saying in my hometown that cheap names are easier to raise. The child encountered something like this right after birth, so I hope to give him a simple name."

"The mountain is too high to climb."

"I hope that the small dirt slope that anyone can walk up can bless my child to be safe and secure for years to come, and to have a smooth and stable life."

The young Taoist said gently: "So——"

"Um."

The woman replied: "That's his name."

"It is Qiu."

The young Taoist said to himself gently: "Qiu... "

He could feel the change in destiny, and could feel the turbulent atmosphere of this era - although the catastrophe had been cut off, it had never been completely wiped out. Without the sharp edge of the catastrophe, there was a feeling of a surging wave, layer upon layer, lurking underneath, and no one knew when it would rise up.

The Buddhist Bodhi tree changed, and the Lord of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli was born.

The leader of the military strategists was rampant in the world, and his fate was entangled, which caused Ling Qiu to be born.

The Jade Emperor was still young, and Guanyin had never reached the summit.

But you don’t know about my Taoism.

Will there be such a person emerging?

There must be, right?

The fortunes of Buddhism and Taoism are intertwined, and the prosperity of the human world will naturally change.

But I don’t know who that person is and where he is.

As the general trend changes, it is indeed time to find that person and then guide him to practice.

The young Taoist pondered for a long time. The woman hesitated and asked, "Master, I wonder where you are now... I want to let my child farm and study to carry on the family tradition, but he must always thank the benefactor who saved his life..."

The Taoist was surprised, smiled, and pointed to the capital.

The young Taoist priest replied: "This era is turbulent and great changes are happening. I am afraid he will have many difficulties and confusions in his life. If he has any difficulties and confusions, he can go to the capital and stay in the storage room."

"I will wait for him to ask in the storage room."

The wind was rising and the clouds were rolling. Under the pine trees on the mountain, a seventeen-year-old Taoist lowered his eyes.

The child, who was still in the cradle, opened his eyes and saw the great world opening up, the wind and clouds rising, and the young man in white clothes and hair tied with jade hairpins smiled, stretched out his finger, and spoke to him in a gentle tone:

"From now on, I will wait for you for sixty years."

"If you have any trouble, feel free to ask me."
