One of the top ten classical supernatural novels in my country.
It tells the story of Ji Xiaotang, a talented man from Guandong who was dissatisfied with the treacherous minister Yan Song who controlled the government and persecuted the loyal and good. After failing in the imperial examination, he abandoned Confucianism and Taoism. He was inspired by Lu Dongbin to learn the magic of immortality, and then used his supernatural powers to travel around the world, punishing evil and promoting good.
In addition to Ji Xiaotang, the core characters of the protagonist group also include the familiar weirdo Yizhimei.
It integrates the three elements of historical romance, fighting between gods and monsters, and chivalrous resistance to violence. It is written in vernacular and the story is easy to read.
