Siheyuan: Drawing Talismans from the Start, the Courtyard Beasts’ Worst Nightmare

[Genre: Period Daily Life] + [Theme: Settling Scores] + [Character: Cunning Taoist Priest] + [Style: Decisive and Ruthless] + [Twist: Repay kindness with resentment? I repay resentment with justice!] After waking up, Chen Xuan, the current successor of the Maoshan sect, finds himself an ordinary fitter at a steel mill, falsely accused of stealing Xu Damao's chicken. Surrounded by neighbors demanding donations and using morality to guilt-trip him, with a hypocritical “white lotus” weeping and a phony gentleman grandstanding in the name of righteousness, Chen Xuan smiles. Reason with them? No. He prefers to use physics and the supernatural. That night, Xu Damao dreams that a thousand vengeful chickens are coming for his life. A memorial tablet for Jia Zhangshi's “late husband” appears at her bedside. Yi Zhonghai chokes even while drinking water, and every beast in the courtyard has nightmares night after night, living in constant fear. As the crowd wails and begs for mercy, Chen Yang wipes down the “Bad Luck Talisman” he has just drawn and says calmly, “Don't rush. This is just an appetizer. We've got plenty of time ahead.” From then on, nobody in the courtyard dares provoke this “Master Taoist” again, because his methods really can cost you your life!
