The Road to the Underworld

My name is Gouer, and I am a beggar. My brother's name is Gou Sheng. He froze to death last night. Before he died, he pushed me into his arms, and I heard the sound of his teeth chattering, like the sound of tiles being blown by the wind outside the temple. Later, a sage in black clothes came and asked me if I wanted to practice Taoism. I said repair. I worshiped him as my teacher, and he gave me a new name, Nan Niansheng. I asked him what he meant by "Nian Sheng", and he said it was to make you remember that you are alive. When I learned how to write, the first thing I could write was not "Nan Niansheng" but "Gousheng". I thought that when I became an immortal, I would go back and transform my brother back.
