Content Introduction · · · · · ·
The young Taoist Xuan Qiong was born with a fate of poverty. Whenever he tried to get rich quick, thunder would strike him. He dared not earn any money, so he could only go to Peach Blossom Spring to be a mundane Taoist. This job offered little money and a lot of work, with much responsibility and blame, because the Peach Blossom Spring was inhabited by monsters, leading to endless trivial disputes. Xuan Qiong was busy every day helping the monsters resolve their problems, mediating and reconciling, and barely maintaining the harmony of Peach Blossom Spring. One day, a huge crisis suddenly struck. This impoverished young Taoist sadly discovered that it concerned the safety of all residents and severely affected his meager monthly salary of two taels and three qian...
Editor's Recommendation
An impoverished young Taoist, a peaceful Peach Blossom Spring.
"Liu Ziji of Nanyang, a noble scholar, heard of it, and joyfully planned to go. He did not succeed, and soon fell ill and died. Afterwards, no one else sought it out." It turns out that the "did not succeed" in "The Peach Blossom Spring" has another mystery: the secret Peach Blossom Spring is actually a paradise for monsters, jointly protected by Taoists and monsters.
The young Taoist Xuan Qiong was born with a fate of poverty. Whenever he tried to get rich quick, thunder would strike him. He dared not earn any money, so he could only go to Peach Blossom Spring to be a mundane Taoist. Every day, he faced trivial tasks such as mediating neighborhood disputes, children fighting, and marital squabbles, which were bothersome and exhausting. And his monthly Taoist stipend was only two taels and three qian, barely enough to make ends meet.
This is a work that Ma Boyong has been writing for over 12 years, retaining traces of the changes in his state of mind over the years. It may be mottled, but it captures the rings of his life. Perhaps you have already entered middle age, your weary body burdened with family responsibilities, but I hope you haven't forgotten the passionate youth who was once obsessed with games. I hope everyone can see the rings of their own lives in this story.
This book features a small, double-cover design. The cover is designed with custom pixel art illustrations by the emerging illustrator "Zong He Yu Zi," making it convenient to carry and suitable for reading or gifting.
