Notes on Longevity and What I've Seen

Book title: "Notes of Immortality" Introduction: A hundred years of great and prosperous events pass by like a dream. This is the story of a little Taoist priest chasing immortality. I want to write a novel, a fairy novel, a different fairy novel. There are no cultivation levels or immortal sects in this novel. Instead, there are just flowing rivers and mountains and forests, and encountering a Taoist temple at the right time. I studied scriptures and discussed Taoism with the brothers in the Taoist temple, and occasionally competed with each other to exercise. I also want to write a fairy-like novel. I worshiped the mountain gods in the mountains and forests, and saw various monsters in the peach forest. They each worked hard to practice and seek the great road. I also want to write a novel about the ups and downs of the world, overlapping their stories with the protagonist's experiences to construct a novel full of beauty and regret. I also want to tell a story, a fairy tale that belongs to me. To a certain extent, this is my first time writing a novel. My writing style is limited and the plot may be a little inconsistent. Please bear with me. As for my life experience, I am still young, only in my early twenties, but I really want to write about it. Therefore, if something is not written well, everyone will criticize it lightly. In addition, this book will not be eunuch, and I will keep writing until I have finished telling all the stories about this book in my mind.

How can I put it this way? The author's writing is not suitable for online writing. His writing skills, skills, and plot characters are all fine, but most people are not suitable for reading it. It feels like you are watching what the protagonist sees and hears through the eyes of the supporting characters. However, the author writes too much foreplay and scenes for the supporting characters. As a result, if your page does not say that Ping An is the protagonist, no one will know who is the protagonist. There are too many scenes for the supporting characters, and I have read more than 30 chapters where the protagonist does not even appear. So it's a bit boring to watch.

By inserting flashbacks within flashbacks, the author is testing people's memory 😅

Isn't there usually three golden chapters in the beginning? The author really can't understand the first few chapters and doesn't even know what to write.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

It's very fairy-tale and attractive. The author is very interactive and there's a lot of information to consult.

Detailed story content of "Notes of Immortality" ** A Childhood of Suffering (Ninth Year of Wenshang - Nineteenth Year of Wenshang) In the ninth year of Wenshang, there was a severe drought, thousands of miles of bare land, and people dying of hunger everywhere. Little Peace was born in this desperate world. Both his parents died. As an infant, he was targeted and almost became food for hungry people. At the critical moment, a traveling Taoist priest passed by here. He felt compassion and saved Ping An with the only dry food he had. The Taoist priest saw that the child had a difficult life and hoped that he would be safe in the future, so he named him "Ping'an". Since then, Ping An has followed the Taoist priest on a long journey. The Taoist priest wholeheartedly pursues the way to immortality. He travels around with peace. Everywhere he goes, he asks the local people about the traces of immortals, or visits those practitioners who are said to be miraculous. However, time is not forgiving. During this arduous journey, the Taoist priest's physical condition deteriorated and he became ill. In the 19th year of Wen Shang's reign, it was a cold winter day with heavy snowfall. The two masters and apprentices heard that there was a Taoist Master in Fuyang who might know the secret of immortality, so they hurried away despite the wind and snow. At night, they found a dilapidated temple in a dense forest to take shelter from the wind and snow. But who would have thought that this ruined temple had already been targeted by a group of extremely vicious thieves. The thief took advantage of the darkness and broke into the ruined temple with a sharp knife. They saw the simple luggage of the master and the apprentice at a glance, and concluded that there must be property hidden in it. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Taoist priest quickly protected Ping An behind him and begged the thieves to let their master and apprentice go. But how could the thieves give up so easily? They showed ferocious faces and pressed forward step by step. Not only did they steal the luggage, they also had evil thoughts about the young Ping An and wanted to kidnap him. The Taoist priest tried his best to stop him and started a life-and-death struggle with the thieves. Although he was sickly, he showed amazing strength in order to protect his safety. However, the thieves were numerous and cruel. The Taoist priest was soon injured by the thieves and fell into a pool of blood. Ping An looked at the injured master, his heart full of fear and anger. He rushed forward desperately and bit one of the thieves hard. The thief was so angry that he threw Ping An out of the ruined temple. Ping An fell heavily into the snow and lost consciousness instantly. The old Taoist watched Ping An being kidnapped, but was powerless to do anything. He could only watch with sadness as the thief disappeared into the night. Wandering around (19th year of Wenshang - 22nd year of Wenshang) The thief hurriedly escaped from the ruined temple with Ping An in a coma, boarded a flower boat, and sailed towards the town. When I woke up safely, I found myself in a strange and dark cabin, surrounded by a disgusting smell. His heart was filled with fear and helplessness, and he kept struggling to escape from this terrible place. After the flower boat docked, the thieves brought Ping An to the city and looked for buyers everywhere, trying to sell Ping An at a good price. Finally, they found a middle-aged woman. The woman looked at Ping An. When she was about to pay for it, she suddenly discovered that Ping An was wearing a Taoist robe and was a little Taoist priest. At that time, Taoist priests were favored by the emperor, and ordinary people were in awe of Taoist priests. Middle-aged women were afraid that buying Taoist priests would bring trouble to themselves, so they waved their hands and refused to accept Ping An. When the thief saw that the deal was ruined, he became angry and angry, but he had no choice but to do anything. They didn't want to waste time on Ping An anymore, so they threw Ping An on the ground in a remote alley and walked away. It was winter at this time, and there were still snowflakes in the sky. Ping An was wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold. He climbed up from the ground with difficulty and crawled step by step in the snow. Every time he moved, it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength. Just when Ping An was about to despair, several beggars passed by. Seeing Ping An's pitiful appearance, they felt pity and brought Ping An to their "home" - a dilapidated and miserable house. Although the inside of the house is dilapidated, it is much warmer than the ice and snow outside. The beggars found some old clothes, put them on Ping An, and gave him some rough food. Ping An devoured the food, feeling grateful to these beggars. In the following days, Ping An wandered the streets with these beggars. They walk through the streets every day and make a living by begging. Ping An has witnessed the warmth and coldness of the world with his own eyes. Some people sneer at beggars like them, and even speak harshly; while some people feel pity and give some money or food. In this difficult life, Ping An also heard many anecdotes. These stories were like little stars in the darkness, giving him some comfort and giving him a better understanding of the world. Experience of Fuyang (22nd year of Wenshang - 25th year of Wenshang) In the 22nd year of Wenshang, Ping An wandered to the prosperous Fuyang. Fuyang City is bustling with traffic and shops. Ping An was walking aimlessly on the street, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Zuihua Tower. Zuihua Tower is the most famous opera house in Fuyang City. At this time, the melodious sound of opera is coming from the building. Ping An was attracted by this beautiful sound and stopped involuntarily. At this time, Xiu Yi in the opera house happened to be passing by. She saw Ping An's ragged clothes, confusion and helplessness in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in her heart. Xiuyi took the initiative to step forward and asked about Ping An's situation. Ping An told Xiu Yi everything about his experience. After hearing this, Xiu Yi was very moved and decided to take Ping An to see his old class leader. The old boss saw that Ping An was pitiful and felt that there was a spiritual energy between his eyebrows, so he took him in and asked him to help with odd jobs in the opera garden. In this way, Ping An officially became a member of the Liyuan, and also met a group of kind and lovely Liyuan children such as Xie Xiaoshuang. Xie Xiaoshuang has a playful and lively personality. When she saw that Ping An had just arrived and was unfamiliar with everything in the pear garden, she enthusiastically took Ping An around and taught him how to do chores. She also often told him some interesting things about the pear orchard, which made Ping An feel the warmth he had not seen for a long time. At the same time, Fuyang City also welcomed a group of special guests - scholars taking part in the examination. Scholars such as Yang Youan and Li Chengru were full of ambitions and gathered in Gongyuan, hoping to achieve good results in the imperial examination and realize their ambitions. While waiting for the exam, the lives of the scholars are also colorful. They often get together to fight crickets, write poems and discuss Taoism, and exchange knowledge with each other. By chance, Yang Youan met Jie Xiaoshuang on the street. Jie Xiaoshuang's beauty and liveliness suddenly attracted Yang Youan's attention, and Jie Xiaoshuang was also moved by Yang Youan's elegant temperament. The two chatted happily and formed an indissoluble bond from then on. As their relationship deepened, the relationship between them gradually heated up, and they often met to play and chat together. Peace is in the pear garden. Although life is busy, Master is always in my heart. Whenever it was quiet at night, he would always sit alone in the corner, recalling every moment of being with his master, his eyes blurred by tears unconsciously. During his time in the opera house, Ping An also made some like-minded friends. They worked together, played together, and helped each other, making Ping An gradually forget some of the pain he had suffered. One day, Yuyan, the Taoist priest of Zoumaguan, came to the Liyuan by chance. As he watched everyone rehearse, he noticed peace. Yu Yan discovered that although Ping An was still young, he had a unique temperament, and his eyes showed desire and determination for the unknown. After some conversation, Yuyan admired Ping An's qualifications and understanding, and secretly decided that if there was an opportunity in the future, he would bring Ping An into meditation practice. Practice of Zoumaguan (the twenty-fifth year of Wenshang - the twenty-seventh year of Wenshang) In the twenty-fifth year of Wenshang, undercurrents surged in Fuyang City. A prince heard about Ping An and thought that there might be some mysterious power hidden in Ping An that could help him gain an advantage in the fight for the throne, so he sent people around to find Ping An's whereabouts in order to abduct him. Just when Ping An was in danger, Taoist Master Yuyan got the news and hurried down the mountain. Relying on his powerful magic, he broke through many obstacles from the people sent by the prince and successfully found peace. Yu Yan expressed his intention to Ping An, saying that only by taking him to practice at Zouma Temple can he be kept safe and at the same time help him explore the way to immortality. Pingan thought of Yuyan's appreciation for him before, and thought of the difficult situation he was in now, so he agreed to Yuyan without hesitation. Ping An followed Yu Yan to Zouma Temple. Zoumaguan is located on a quiet mountain peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland. As soon as Ping An stepped into the temple, he felt an aura of tranquility and peace. Under the leadership of Yu Yan, Ping An met Master Shitai. Master Shitai looked at Ping An carefully with his eyes like a torch, nodded slightly, and acknowledged Yu Yan's vision. From then on, Ping An began his practice career in Zouma Temple. Every morning, when the first ray of sunshine shines on the temple, Ping An gets up early and practices basic skills with his senior brothers in the courtyard, such as horse stance and boxing, and he learns every move in style. During the day, he would study various Taoist scriptures in the library, from the "Tao Te Ching" to the "South China True Sutra". He eagerly absorbed knowledge and worked hard to understand the profound principles contained in them. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will humbly ask his senior brothers for advice, or ask Master Shitai for advice. At night, Ping An will come alone to the cliff behind the viewing, face the bright moon, and quietly feel the aura of heaven and earth. He tried to apply the theoretical knowledge he had learned into practice, guiding spiritual energy into his body and tempering his body. In the process, Ping An also met many kind and outstanding senior brothers. They help each other and encourage each other in spiritual practice. Sometimes, they would discuss the essence of the scriptures together, express their own opinions, and argue until their faces turned red; sometimes, they would also compete in spells and make progress together during the discussion. In the days of walking around, although Ping An lived a miserable life, his heart was extremely fulfilling. His hard work and talent were recognized by everyone, and his spells became increasingly sophisticated. However, Ping An knew very well that he was still far away from the true path to immortality. He did not dare to slack off at all and continued to practice hard day after day. Downhill Experience (27th Year of Wenshang - 30th Year of Wenshang) In the 27th year of Wenshang, after more than two years of hard practice, Ping An has achieved success in Zoumaguan. Holding a whisk in hand, with curiosity and exploration about the world, he said goodbye to his master and brothers, and went down the mountain to experience the world of mortals. Walking peacefully in the world, wherever you go, there are fireworks in the world. He passed by a village, which happened to be hit by a drought. The crops failed and the people lived in poverty. Seeing this scene, Ping An couldn't bear it. He used the magic he had learned to call for wind and rain, bringing a timely rain to the village. The villagers were so grateful to him that they took out the only food at home to entertain him. Ping An politely declined the kindness of the villagers, leaving only "This is what I should do" and left quietly. Continuing forward, we arrived at a town safely. There is a terrifying legend circulating in the town. Every night, monsters appear and harm the people. Ping An decided to stay and investigate the matter. At night, holding a mahogany sword, he patrolled the town. Finally, he found traces of the monster in an abandoned house. The monster was huge, with a ferocious face, and it rushed toward Ping An with its teeth and claws. Ping An was not afraid. He muttered words, used the spells he learned at Zoumaguan, and started a fierce battle with the monsters. After a hard battle, Ping An finally subdued the monster and eliminated harm to the people. After the people learned about this, they praised Ping An and called him a "living god". In the process of experience, Ping An also met various people. There are kind and honest people who, despite living a hard life, still maintain a kind heart; there are also greedy and selfish evil people who will do anything for their own benefit. Ping An saw the evil and injustice in the world, which strengthened his belief in using his own strength to help those in need.
