The boy searched in the mountains for several days, and finally found his favorite teacher in a quiet valley. This famous teacher is a Taoist master in his seventies, with white hair, a clear face, and a vigorous posture. He was cultivating in the valley, surrounded by a verdant bamboo forest and several strangely shaped boulders.
After the boy saluted the chief, he began to talk to him. They started with the basic teachings of Taoism, talked about Taoist cultivation methods, and how to achieve the unity of heaven and man through cultivation.

After two years of learning in Zhongnan Mountain, Chen Yifeng said goodbye to his master and prepared to travel the rivers and lakes to increase his knowledge, and the young man did not have to abide by all the rules of Taoism, because he was just a layman ** righteous Taoist, as long as he did not harm the people, burned, killed and looted.
On this day, the young man met a Taoist friend of Wudang Mountain on the road, the two had a very happy conversation, and learned that the Taoist friend of Wudang was going to help people do things, so he invited the young man to go with him, and Chen Yifeng agreed without thinking about it, so Chen Yifeng followed Wudang Taoist friends to go together. On the way, Daoyou introduced him to the process and precautions of the ritual, and also taught him some spells and spells. Chen Yifeng listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but have a stronger interest in Taoism in his heart.
After arriving at his destination, Chen Yifeng met a grieving family. It turned out that the father of the family died of illness not long ago, leaving his wife and young children to depend on each other. In order to appease the emotions of his family, Wudang Daoyou decided to do a ritual for them to overrun the souls. Seeing this, Chen Yifeng immediately joined the team of Dharma priests and prayed for the blessing of the family with everyone.
In the course of the ritual, Chen Yifeng carefully studied each step and mantra, memorizing them. The ritual lasted a whole day and ended at nightfall.

On this day, the young man came to the Lingyin Temple, met a monk, Buddhism is proficient in medical skills, the young man was moved again, so he worshiped the monk as a teacher, the young man and the master said, just want to learn medical skills, help the poor free treatment, want to be a layman**, the master saw him dignified, talk about extraordinary personality and innocence, he agreed to accept him as an apprentice, and asked the young man to stay in the temple for a year, in this year must be done in accordance with the requirements of the Lingyin Temple, Chen Yifeng agreed, so, the young man began his study career in the Lingyin Temple. He studied medicine with the monks, worked diligently, and was deeply loved by his master. In the life of the temple, he strictly abides by the rules of the temple, wakes up early and goes to bed late every day, cleans, and takes care of the sick, and is deeply respected by other monks.
During this year, the young man not only learned medical skills, but also understood many principles of life. He found that the life of the temple, although simple, was full of wisdom and philosophy. He began to understand that medicine was not just a skill, but a form of love and compassion.

They know that their son has a restless heart and likes to pursue new and exciting things, which is also his nature. So, they decided to support his decision and give him enough freedom to explore the world and pursue his dreams.
