Chapter 5: Initiation into Huayang
The news that the Young Master had been rid of the evil by the High People, and was even about to become a Taoist priest, spread throughout the Shen family, causing quite a commotion from top to bottom.
From the main mother of the family, the “Second Mother”, to the junior servants and maids who swept the floor, their faces were full of excitement.
It wasn’t long before even half of Chunhua County was abuzz with chatter about this news.
Everyone knew that the well-known wealthy family in the county, Shen family’s “sickly Young Master”, a perfectly good Young Master suddenly wanted to become a Taoist Priest.
…
About half a month later, Shin Luo was found in an unnamed and somewhat desolate small mountain just outside Chunhua County.
Dressed in an Azure Robe and carrying a Small Parcel on his back, Shen Luo, who was looking rosy, stood in the pavilion, constantly looking around as if he was waiting for something.
In the center of a decaying Stone Table in the pavilion, was a palm-sized Triangle Plate embedded, cast from what seemed to be high-quality iron and lightly emitting white light, which looked quite magical.
"Are you the Junior Brother Shen mentioned by Master?” A deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind Shen Luo, startling him to turn around immediately.
