黑山鎮，位於中國湘西自治洲的一普通小鎮。
東方的天空還是灰蒙蒙一片，黑山鎮的雞鳴彼此起伏。勤勞的山裏人都在開始洗涑，準備著一天的勞動。然而鎮後八麵山的小路上卻有一條小小的黑影在向山急行，“該死，又要遲到了，”黑影向上看了看，腳步卻更快了。
山頂，一老者正麵向東方閉目盤坐。少時，老者睜開雙目：“小風，今天又晚了。”“師傅，時間剛剛好啊，看，朝陽才剛升起啊。”回答老者的正是剛才上山的黑影。“不錯，此時正是我們修道之人條息吐呐的時候，但你剛疾步上的山來，如何能立即平心靜氣。”“徒弟知道了，下次我一定早點上山。”說完徑直忘老者身邊盤腿閉目坐下，良久，老少兩人都進入了入定狀態``````````
原來剛才上山的黑影就是山下黑山鎮的少年徐風，14歲，10歲時父母雙亡於洪水下，從此變成孤兒，好在山裏人都很淳樸，東家一口，西家一餐溫飽還是能保障。老者自稱是個道士姓張，3年前雲遊到此，看中這鎮上的以世隔絕，山靈水秀，便向鎮長要求在鎮裏定居。老道士既會替死人做法事，又懂得醫術用草藥替活人治療傷痛，不久就取得了全鎮的好感和尊敬。後來遇上了徐風，得知他的身事可憐，無依無靠，便收為徒弟，從此做事也就多了個打下手的人。
在這個科技的時代，在大城市裏，道士最多就是幫人看看風水，生活的地位不高。但是在湘西就不同，在這個大多數都是深山老林裏，很多鄉村連電都不通，山裏人一年365天都是麵朝黃土背朝天，所以教書先生和道士先生都是最有學問的人，倍受尊敬。但是卻沒人知道這張老道士和其他的道士先生是很大的不同，準確的說是比別人厲害，厲害的多``````````
徐風跟著師傅學了兩年多，每天早上隻要會出太陽就會急行上山，采1個小時的氣（打坐吐呐），接著打一套無名拳法。上午張師傅就在家裏教他讀書識字，最近一年多半是讓他背一些非常坳口的段句，和照著一本破書畫一些看不懂的圖，照師傅的話說這些段句就是道術口訣，而那些看不懂的圖畫在黃紙上在配合相應口訣就是不同效果的符咒````“師傅，你教我的道術我怎麼一個都用不了啊？”這天徐風在完成功課後問道。道士張摸著下顎的幾根胡須歎道：“你問的著個問題，就是我們道士的困境啊，近年來科技日易發展，地球上的靈活卻破壞的所剩無幾了，師傅修道40年，也隻是能用幾個基本的小道法，看來是上天要滅絕我們修道一門啊，至於你若是興趣所在，那就先努力記牢，事在人為嘛，為師也不想在自己手中斷了道統``若是沒興趣，那就練好吐呐和拳法，那既可強身健體，還可防生`````”
時光如駒，徐風馬上就要16歲了，夕日的平頭小子變成了長發少年，幾年來徐風堅持不懈的跟著師傅學道術，雖然還是用不上，但是少年天性的他卻相信自己能把道術發揚光大，不過因為吐呐術和拳法卻讓徐風達到了自己也不理解的程度````這日，徐風跟著師傅進入山中采藥，越是進入深山才是越有稀有罕見的藥材，一個交的盡心，一個學的用心，不知不覺中到了太陽落山師徒兩都還在山中探索。師傅看了看天色，對徐風道：“小風，今天我們可能要在山裏過夜了，我們先去找個山洞吧。”在山中采藥耽誤時辰對師徒兩來說也不是一次兩次的事了，有時甚至在深山中過兩三夜。但是這是張道士的心中突然有一種不安的感覺出現，看了看身邊的徒弟，心中卻是一片欣慰```
山中可供容身的山洞很多，不多久師徒便在一處山腰找到了個山洞``黑夜漸漸到來，徐風吃過幹糧和幾個野果後就臥在洞裏的一塊平石上休息，累了一天的少年很快就進入了夢鄉```張道士聽著洞外的蟲鳴獸喉，回想起下午的那陣不安，遲遲不能入睡```
次日清晨，張道士看見徒弟竟然還在睡著，這可是近年來不在有的事，“也許是昨天太累了吧，但也不能停下每日清晨的吐呐”，張道士心理想到。於是邊說：“小風，該起來了，“邊過去推徐風。哪知手上碰到的卻是一片僵硬，連忙過去查看：隻見徐風全身青紫，已經是進氣少出氣多，隨時可能一命嗚呼，在仔細檢查，卻發現後脖子處又兩個小洞，必是讓什麼不知名的東西咬傷了。張道士著急萬分，連忙找出解毒大的草藥，外敷的好辦，內服的卻怎麼也灌不下去```看著自己的徒弟氣息越來越微弱，想起幾年來師徒兩的點點滴滴，小風的孝順，小風的懂事，小風的情分，小風的天真````張道士的心中有了決定！``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
