Dutianjiu Travel Notes

Many bizarre things have happened in this ancient and prosperous land. Once upon a time, a fairy who was as graceful as a dragon, with jade skin condensed in jade, and who conquered the country and conquered the moon, floated across the sky of a city. Overnight, the entire city seemed to have suffered the most evil curse of time, and thousands of people turned into monsters. One day, a shocking wave suddenly appeared in the West Sea, directly annexing hundreds of fishing villages along the coast. Some relatives once visited that place and found that it had become part of the vast ocean, but they could vaguely see another world under the sea. They did not die, but the familiar faces were transformed into people in the sea. Their bodies were fish-tailed, exquisite and clear, and they were content. One night, an ancient city was raided by a group of tomb robbers, leaving a bottomless cave. Since then, the city has not seen a drop of rain all year round. The heat is unbearable. Chickens and dogs crow day and night, and they die hoarse. Nine out of ten people in the city contracted an incurable plague, and less than 10% left their hometown, but they never left the city. On the coast, under the hut, on the small table, an old Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest were having a drink. The old Taoist priest looked at the ups and downs of the sea and sighed, "Old Taoist, my life has not been in vain. I have been fighting for a few days, learned the Tao for a few years, eaten golden dragon meat, drank yellow spring water, beaten the head of Tianqiong Peak, chased fairies for several years, fought monsters several times, fought wine with corpse statues, and played with dogs and mice with big devils."
