Chapter 1 The Taoist Storyteller

Dayu Dynasty, Nanyan County, a certain remote town.

This city is not big, but the streets are full of traffic, and the crowds are crowded with each other.

The streets in the city are crisscrossed with traffic, and there are many wine shops and pawnshops on both sides.

Many wandering merchants put their stalls on the street, some waited quietly, closed their eyes and meditated, and just looked up from time to time to look at the passers-by in front of them; sparkle.

This time, the scene is so prosperous.

"The realm of the human race is vast and boundless. We mortals are flesh and blood. Even if we spend a lifetime, it is difficult to be one of the ten thousand..."

At the end of a certain street in the city, a young voice sang loudly, which could be heard clearly even on the other side of the street.

"Just like the place where we are now, it is called Nanyan County, with a radius of hundreds of miles and a population of tens of millions. The land is so vast and the population is so large, but my Nanyan County belongs to the Dayu Dynasty, but it is the Dayu Dynasty. 99 Governor's Mansion is just one of the one hundred and eight counties, fellow Taoists can imagine how huge the Dayu Dynasty is."

"Even so, fellow daoists know that there are innumerable capitals like the Dayu Dynasty on this land."

"So, the Dayu Dynasty is just a tiny place in our human race's cultivation domain, located in a corner, like a grain of sand in the desert, or a drop of water in the sea."

"hiss……"

There were bursts of air-conditioning sounds all around.

Looking carefully, it turns out that dozens of people are gathered together at the moment, looking intently at the young young Taoist priest sitting on a high stool in the middle, spitting and dancing with great interest.

This young Xiaodao was only eleven or twelve years old, his hair was coiled up high, and a half-broken mahogany hairpin was inserted horizontally in the middle.

Although the face is ordinary, but the phoenix eyes are clear, the eyes are slender and the eyebrows are long, and there is a sly gleam in the eyes from time to time.

A shabby black Taoist robe was very long, it seemed to be the size of an adult man, and it didn't fit him very well.

The hem of the Taoist robe covered the yellow cloth shoes on his feet, and they fell to the ground.

But although it is worn out, it has been washed clean without any dust.

In addition, he also hung a blue gourd around his waist, which swayed from side to side as he moved.

The most noticeable thing is the dust whisk on his right hand, the whisk silk is like the hair of an octogenarian, thin and pale as snow.

Hearing the sound of people breathing in, Xiaodao was so excited that he looked like he was possessed by a demon.

At this moment, he flicked his right hand whisk, leaned forward, the tip of his nose was almost touching the face of a middle-aged man in front of him, he stared suddenly and shouted:

"You say the world is big, but it's not big!"

The man was taken aback by Xiaodao's move, subconsciously nodded and said: "Big...big!"

After hearing this person's answer, Xiaodao suddenly turned sideways, grabbed an old man's rough shirt, and pulled it forward.

Looking at the old man close at hand, he shouted again:
"You said that I am not small when I wait for mortals."

The old man was frightened by the saliva sprayed on his face by Xiaodao:
"Small... small!"

Hearing the two people's answer, Xiaodao immediately retracted and sat on the high stool, flicking the whisk again, and nodded with a smile.

"That's right, what the two fellow Taoists said is very true, the vastness of the world, the insignificance of mortals."

"However, people have spirits, they can cultivate, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cast my spiritual body. Those with great supernatural powers can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. What's more, they can turn their hands into clouds, cover their hands into rain, and live as long as the sky."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Xiao Dao could see the longing in their eyes.

So Xiaodao raised the corner of his mouth proudly, and continued:
"Not to mention far away, just like my Nanyan County, there have been more than one such supernatural beings."

"4000 years ago, my Nanyan County was hit by a flood. When I looked up, I could only see the torrential rain falling down like a rolling waterfall. Seeing this, the flat land of thousands of miles would turn into a sea, and the mountains of thousands of feet would become isolated islands. Under such a natural disaster , I will wait for hundreds of millions of mortals to burn their lives and never recover."

"At a critical moment, a young man in a long coat with a folding fan stepped forward. He was handsome and looked like Pan'an. When the young man in the long coat stepped on it, a gully that stretched for thousands of miles burst open in the ground, and the rolling flood fell into it, dispelling us all. A catastrophe."

"People don't know his name, they only know his nickname Ghost Hand Scholar."

……

"Two thousand and seven hundred years ago, my Nanyan County encountered an insect famine that never happened in ten thousand years. The dense cloud of insects covered the sky and covered the sky. The scorching sun was originally covered, but it was blocked. Flowers, trees, people, animals and poultry, everything that the insect cloud passed by , no bones left."

"At this moment, an old man over half a year old stood up. The old man had a white beard and long beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he looked like a fairy. I didn't see what he was doing. He just grabbed the gourd around his waist with one hand and cursed again and again. Underneath, I saw a cloud of insects rolling in from the sky, and all of them were sucked into it."

"People don't know who the old man is, so they call him the real spirit gourd."

……

"800 years ago, in Nanyan County, which was originally calm and peaceful, the ground suddenly began to shake. In an instant, the houses collapsed and the boulders on the top of the mountain rolled down. Then the ground cracked and hot magma sprayed out. Seeing this, we wait for mortals There will be no escape from this disaster.”

"Just when everyone was terrified, an old Taoist with a strong sense of immortality withdrew and stood up. He stepped into the void, and after only seven steps, he appeared in the sky thousands of feet high. A huge talisman was drawn in midair. The talisman radiated immense light and turned into a stream of light, which fell from the sky and submerged into the land along the southern edge. At the same time, the erupting magma stopped, and the shaking earth fell silent. I'll wait for mortals to escape again."

"People don't know the old Taoist's name, so they call him the God Talisman."

……

The novel talks about dancing and dancing, with a passionate expression.

The people around were completely attracted by his words, some clapped their hands and some applauded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Xiaodao's eyes flashed brightly, and he knew that it was almost the same.

So he straightened his expression, pretending to be inscrutable, and said:
"Having said so much, fellow Taoists, are you envious of this immortal family's ability, do you yearn for it?"

"You're not talking nonsense!"

"That is, to be able to have that ability, no one would yearn for it."

"Yes, yes, mountains and seas, life equal to the sky, that's a god, who wouldn't want to be a god."

Listening to the chatter around him, Xiaodao showed a look of extreme satisfaction, so he coughed lightly twice.

Seeing this, everyone closed their mouths knowingly, and looked at Xiaodao again with concentration.

"Everyone wants to be a fairy, but not everyone can be a fairy. If you want to be a fairy, it is not enough to have ambition, you must also have..."

Speaking of this, Xiaodao stopped his voice and bought a pass, and looked at everyone mysteriously.

"You said it, what else is there?"

"Yes, tell me!"

"You Taoist priest hesitates like a little girl."

Xiaodao saw everyone's eagerness, and Xindao Guanzi was almost sold out, so he nodded and continued:

"In addition to having ambition, one must also have spiritual roots."

"Linggen?"

"What is a spirit root?"

Everyone is puzzled.

"Ahem, this spiritual root is something that can absorb spiritual energy and be used for cultivation. If you want to be a fairy, you must have a spiritual root."

After saying that, Xiaodao pretended to stroke his beard, but found that he didn't have a beard, so he touched his chin to ease the embarrassment.

But everyone turned a blind eye to this, and there was another uproar. Obviously, they had never heard of such a thing.

"Xiao Daoist, how do you think I will know if I have spiritual roots!"

At this moment, one of the crowd asked loudly.And these words seemed to express the aspirations of the people around him, and everyone echoed them.

Xiaodao's heart was filled with joy. These words not only expressed the aspirations of everyone, but also expressed his own aspirations.

"This fellow Taoist asked a good question!"

So he didn't hesitate to praise, and continued to say:
"This is exactly the purpose of Xiaodao's coming here today, fellow daoists, please take a look."

After finishing speaking, he saw that he took out a book with a yellow complexion from nowhere, and there were a few large characters "Linggen Baojian" written crookedly on it.

"This is the "Treasure of Spiritual Roots". This book is a treasure record for identifying whether you have spiritual roots. It contains detailed identification methods."

"If you don't have talent in the small way, the immortal family naturally doesn't have any skills, but there is the most basic "Spiritual Root Treasure Book", which can open a door to the immortal family for fellow daoists."

"It is destiny to meet you today. Since I have a destiny with you fellow Taoists, this "Treasure of Spiritual Roots" will be sold at a low price to you fellow Taoists."

"Well... just a tael of silver for a book. Fellow Daoists, don't think it's cheap. It's all said to be fate. Since it's fate, how can it be measured by money."

"One tael of silver can open a door leading to the fairy family. This kind of great good thing, where can I come across it."

"Fellow daoists, don't leave. The price can be negotiated. If you are not satisfied with the item, I still have basic cultivation methods here."

"I originally planned to buy two taels of silver, but now it only costs ten Wen."

"Hey, if it doesn't work, five cents will do."

"I still have more than a dozen gourds here. This is the same style as that used by the real Linghu. Let's take a look. It only costs three pennies a piece."

"Besides, there are dozens of talismans, and they are also seven or eight times similar to the one drawn by the god talisman Taoist. Five cents is not expensive."

"If it still doesn't work, you can pay a dozen for a penny, and you won't lose money if you use it to go to the toilet."

Seeing that dozens of people turned into birds and scattered, Xiao Dao was so angry that he cursed:
"A bunch of poor people. You only met Daoist me when smoke was rising from your ancestral grave. You don't know how to buy such a good thing. You deserve to be poor all your life, bah!"

Just as he was cursing, a group of armored patrol officers and soldiers came over with spears in their hands.

"That poor storyteller, what do you read? He is talking about you stinky Taoist priest. You were here yesterday, and you are here again today. You still don't leave."

After talking, a few people wanted to start.

"Let's go now, let's go now, gentlemen, don't be rough."

Seeing a few people approaching, Xiaodao hurriedly stopped him, packing up his things and leaving.

But they didn't seem to want to give him time to clean up. They didn't care about the three sevens and two ones. When they mentioned the thin path, they took three steps in two steps and went straight to the city gate.

With a "bang", he was thrown out.

Just as Xiaodao was about to stand up, he saw that all the guys he was eating were thrown out.

Several stacks of books, dozens of gourds, and a long bench clattered to the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

"I see your three legs broken again, get lost!"

Several officers and soldiers said viciously.

Xiaodao ate a few mouthfuls of dust, choked so badly, he had already greeted several ancestors in his heart.

"Smelly shameless, if you don't buy Daoist's treasure record, you deserve to be on patrol all your life, I'm sorry!"

After seeing a few officers and soldiers leaving without a trace, Xiaodao dared to slap the dust on his body while pointing at the city gate and yelling.

However, after scolding, he slowly put away the high stool, and at the same time wrapped several dozen thick books and a dozen green gourds on the ground with a rag, and then hung the rag on the high stool.

Then he put the high stool on his shoulders, held the dust whisk in his left hand, and dragged a piece of Taoist robe on the ground with his right hand, as if he didn't want to get a little dust.

The thin figure swayed and gradually disappeared into the wilderness outside the city gate.

Today is August 2021, 8, and I came here to add this passage.Unexpectedly, it has been five and a half years since Chapter 22 of this book was opened, which is really too fast.

This book is my first book, because it is the first time I write a book, it is still a novel, so some parts may not be satisfactory, but I can guarantee that the story of this book is really very good.There are many authors whose books are instant hits because they poured all the inspiration into their first book.Although I am not one of those people, this book also poured all my inspirations, and there are many things in it that my second book cannot compare.

Another thing to mention is that the new book "The Curse of Lies" has been released and is currently being serialized.This is a book with a brand new style. The concept and characters are good. I hope everyone will watch it.

What's more, my second novel "The Road of Demons and Humans" has also been finished, you can go and read it.
