A Taoist Wanders the Heavens

This year, the Southern Sect produced a Taoist. He forged bonds with a few kindred spirits, wandered through the turbulent dust of the mortal world, and calmly watched the infinite ebb and flow of fleeting lives. In the jianghu of the Ming Dynasty, a friend preached mad Zen, declaring: "Heaven and earth are vast, life is impermanent—the monk eats meat, yet his heart is that of a bodhisattva." In the Republic of China era, extraordinary adepts mastered diverse arts, illuminated esoteric principles, and pierced the veils between the living and the netherworld. Under the bright moon of the Qin Dynasty, when a hundred schools of thought contended, he stood as one of the great masters, forging a new vein of Taoist tradition. From the legend of Nüwa's spirit pearl, to the strange tales of Liao Zhai, the Eight Immortals, the Legend of the White Snake, and the tale of Bao Lian Deng—he traverses them all. The author has previously completed the well-received novel "Starting from Hong Quan in the Heavens," which reached 14,000 high-order subscriptions—warmly welcoming readers in search of their next great story.
