A Taoist Priest’s Notes: The Maoshan Master of the Uncanny

With seven stars beneath my feet, each step brings life; above, the Three Wonders are the sun, moon, and stars.

I reach heaven and earth, and startle ghosts and gods; evil spirits and fiends cannot stop me.

The Six Ding and Six Jia follow at my command; the twenty-eight constellations march by my side.

I'm a post-90s kid, born deep in the mountains of the Nanling range. After an accident brought me into contact with Mr. Liao, an expert in Maoshan magic, Lu Ban crafts, and Meishan rituals, fate led me onto the path of Daoist cultivation. From then on, the wheel of destiny began to turn...

Everyone searches for masters, never realizing that a master might be found among ordinary folk.

A master's greatness lies not in high mountains or mighty rivers, but in virtue.

Peddlers, laborers, artisans, and farmers: anyone who has mastered their craft can be a master.
