Daizong's Immortal Path

[Introduction to the work] Lu Chen grew up in Shigandang Village at the foot of Mount Tai. The story his grandmother told him the most was about the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. "The Eight Immortals did not become immortals before they could cross the sea; they had to cross the sea before they could become immortals." He thought it was just the old man talking. It wasn't until he returned to the village after graduating from college that he saw writing on a two-thousand-year-old cypress tree in Dai Temple - a writing older than oracle bone inscriptions that only he could read. Under Mount Tai, an ancient evil demon is sealed. Thousands of years ago, the Eight Immortals established seals with their lives and scattered eight immortal jade slips at eight spiritual nodes in the Qilu land: Taishan, Laoshan, Penglai, Qufu, Linzi, Jinan, Changdao, and Yinan - each place corresponds to a piece of real history and legend. The seal is breaking. Grandma said: "You are a Taoist, a Taoist from Mount Tai who meets once in ten thousand years. Your father and mother have been missing for twelve years because of this." So he set out on this path. From the first battle on the Red Gate Ancient Road to the three tests of the Taiqing Palace in Mount Laoshan; from the ten thousand-year-old ruins of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea in Penglai to the five levels of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, and trust in the Apricot Altar in Qufu; from the danger of a city when the spiritual energy of Baotu Spring went wild, to the ultimate showdown at the top of Mount Tai to "dare to dominate the world" - He discovered that what the Eight Immortals left behind was not mana, but two words: Dare to be. Taishan stone dares to be used. Dare to face the world's difficulties. "Freedom is not letting go of everything, it is choosing to pick up something worth carrying." This is a story about inheritance. From the Eight Immortals to Shigandang Village, from the mountain pickers to Daizong College, from the story grandma told to the ending he wrote with his own hands. The mountain is still the same mountain. But there is a soul in the mountains.
