    Traditional oriental fantasy spreads Taoism in troubled times, killing demons and eliminating demons, but it distinguishes good and evil, and does not differentiate between humans, demons, and ghosts. How to behave in the world depends on your heart. It is the true Tao, and Tao follows nature. The protagonist draws magic talismans, cultivates humanity, travels around the world, sees the good and evil in people's hearts, has weird and fantastic ghost stories, has the passion to fight against all enemies, has the regret of not being able to love, and has the praise of master-disciple love... The whole text has no system, no heroine, and promotes the concept of Tao from a special perspective. [Make a face][make a face]
