Do you think Gonggong is an evil god who raged against Mount Buzhou? Do you think Nuwa patching up the sky is a story about saving the world? Do you think Hou Yi shooting the sun and Dayu controlling floods are heroic legends?
In the third year of King Li of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Li Guicang, a deputy official in the collection room, snatched half of the "Buzhou Mountain Fragments" from a fire, thus overturning an ancient myth that had been tampered with by heaven for three thousand years.
He does not believe in ghosts, gods, or ascension. He only believes in writing and ink as evidence and that historical facts are true. Others asked for immortality, trying hard to be among the immortals, but he wanted to expose "ascension" as a shackle set by heaven on all living beings. He used textual research to break lies, and used Taoism to break the rules of heaven. He traveled all over Jiuzhou and broke through layers of sieges, uncovering the truth that the rules of heaven are a tool to monopolize Taoism, and that heaven is a cage that restricts the avenue.
He does not seek immortality or hegemony, he only seeks to bring the obscured avenue back to the world so that everyone can hear it and everyone can control their own destiny.
Many years later, the old man riding a green bull in front of Hangu Pass wrote the Tao Te Ching with five thousand words. No one knew that behind the sentence "The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao", there was a legend about a Tibetan official seeking Tao for the world.
This story is purely fictional.
