In the first year of Jian'an, a blizzard hits the Central Plains early, cutting off three hundred li of the Luhun Mountains!
A tiny mountain village of just over twenty households faces disaster. The hunters return empty-handed, winter food is running out, and the whole village is on the brink of freezing and starving to death.
I transmigrate into Qing Niu, a six-year-old novice Daoist at the Mountain God Temple, armed with all the survival knowledge of the future!
I improve ice-hole fishing methods, make repeating wooden crossbows, brew medicinal wine from herbs, and set traps for beasts, easily solving the whole village’s food and shelter problems.
The reclusive great scholar Hu Zhao flees Cao Cao’s pursuit and enters the mountains with his family. Yellow Turban refugees and bandits pour in, burning, killing, and looting, while Guo Jia in Xudu dispatches secret agents to spy on us!
Mountain villagers and hunters, scholars and strategists, wandering bandits, and court spies all converge on a tiny Mountain God Temple.
Everyone thinks I’m just a little Daoist with a babyish voice. Little do they know I possess a thousand years of knowledge, deftly handling the great powers and protecting the peace of the entire mountain range.
The warlords of the realm fight without end, and strategists from every corner come to my door, one after another, begging me to join them. I only smile beneath the plum blossoms: the court is too noisy in these troubled times. Guarding the Luhun Mountains is enough for me!
Why is it shown that it was written by Zhang Dai in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and that it has traveled through time??? 🤦🤦🤦
