1. Protagonist: Lin Chen
20 years old, at the peak of the foundation building stage (in modern cities with exhausted spiritual energy, the combat power is already at the ceiling), the last successor of Taoism who has practiced hard in the mountains for ten years.
• Appearance: Long hair tied with a crown + coarse cloth Tsing Yi (after going down the mountain, he was forced to cut his hair and wear a sweatshirt, which was totally disobedient), an old iron sword hanging from his waist (a relic of his grandfather), eyes as cold as frost, and he walks with the aura of a cultivator who says "keep away from strangers".
• Internal: Decisive in killing, obsessed with revenge (seeking justice for his grandfather), but illiterate in modern life: he cannot scan codes, does not understand online shopping, views short videos as "soul-capturing illusions", and uses drones as "spiritual bird scouts".
• Catchphrase: "Is this a mundane magic skill?" "Spiritual energy fluctuations?... It's takeaways that have arrived." "I just want revenge, don't let me learn to scan QR codes to pay."
• Core contrast: He can kill evil cultivators with his hands raised, but he can't even sweep away shared bicycles with his head lowered; he only wants to settle grudges, but he is driven crazy by the daily necessities of food, rice, oil and salt.
2. Origin of emotion: Grandpa Lin Qingshan
On the surface: an ordinary old man who plays chess in the park, picks up trash and feeds stray cats, stingy and loves to take advantage of others.
Reality: A secluded Taoist cultivator, proficient in talismans, acupoints, and martial arts. Ten years ago, while protecting a stranger, he was beaten by Zhao Hu and his gang. He was also assassinated by evil cultivators. He declared his death to be an "accidental death."
• Core meaning: It is not a "tool man of revenge", but Lin Chen's entire obsession with "warmth in the world", and it is also the root of his transformation from "destroyer" to "guardian".
3. Responsible for comedy: Master Xuanjizi
Xuanjizi, whose Taoist name is actually the owner of Xuanmen Hot Pot Restaurant in the old city, is over 50 years old, has a sloppy beer belly, and wears herringbone.
