He was once the most handsome divine general in Heaven.
The gods all wanted to be his friends. Lord Laozi took him as a godson, and Patriarch Bodhi shared wine and discussed the Dao with him, sitting together for three whole days.
But his temper was too strong. Whenever he saw something unjust, he had to intervene. Once he stepped in, there was no stopping him.
That night, he was cast out of Heaven and sent down to the mortal realm.
He lost his memories and divine powers. All he had left was a life as hard as stone.
The townspeople called him Stone.
He stole a local bully’s purse and tipped the silver coins into an old vegetable seller’s basket. In the dead of night, he dug a cesspit and made the thugs in Master Zhang’s employ fall into it one by one. He squatted on the wall, laughing without a care in the world.
But only he knew that on the night Grandma Zhao died, he knelt beside her bed, his tears soaking her thin, withered hand until it wrinkled.
Later, a gray-robed Daoist found him and said there was thunder within him.
The Daoist was called Xuanzhenzi.
He took Stone as his disciple and named him Zhizhan.
But there was too much for Xuanzhenzi to teach him. The rest would have to wait until he made his own way to Mount Lingtai Fangcun.
When this unruly monkey storms Heaven, the people above will understand that the divine general never truly left.
He merely changed his name, took on mortal bones, and fought his way back.
So long as his obsession endures, the stubborn stone will not open.
In this life, he will make sure no one in Heaven can sleep at night.
The author has something to say
This chapter made Obsession really hear thunder.
He was so tired that he could hardly fly, but he met a young man on a small island called Ghost Reef. The child's surname was Lei, and his name was Xiaoting. When I wrote about him, I didn't ask him to make any big ideas. He just listened to the sea, looked at the sky, and then told Obsession that it would rain tonight.
The obsession used thunder to rush upward, but it failed to reach the sky, but it touched the thunder. This is important to him. What he needs most now is not to win a game, but to rediscover his relationship with Lei.
Xiaoting gave Zhuan Nian a wooden sign. It says, If thunder does not return, people will not return. This is the hook at the back.
Obsession had just taken a breath and rushed towards the sea market again. It's not that he's not afraid, Zhao Xiaoman and Liu Weng are still there. A person like him would not leave first by himself.
This chapter opens up a corner of Donghai's old accounts.
When Zhuan Nian entered the Dragon Palace, he saw not the Dragon King but Uncle Turtle. The old man calling him General was the first blow in the whole chapter. He didn't admit it with his mouth, but his body already recognized it.
The fifth prince cut off his horns and spit out dragon pills for his obsession. I slowly leaked these things through the mouths of the third prince and the man in green shirt. Not once did I say it all. Let the obsession be the same as the reader, knowing only a little at a time. The more I press myself to talk about this past thing, the more painful it becomes.
Haishi is a good place. A mixed bag of everything. But wherever Obsession goes, someone recognizes him. Even the woman scraping fish scales at the door said that you are much thinner than before.
In the last part about ascending into the sky and leaving, I wanted him to be like a spark. He's back, but it doesn't seem like he's fully back. The sigh in the dragon scale may be the lightest and heaviest thing in this chapter.
This chapter is the turning point.
The first time Zhuan Nian actually used the Ascension Technique was not to rush, but to recognize his position. The short section where he passed through the clouds, I wrote very slowly on purpose. Slower, readers can feel that he is so close to the heavenly palace, but he dare not go any further.
In this section of the East China Sea, I asked the fifth prince not to show up yet. It's inside the dragon scales, but it doesn't speak. Its silence carries more weight than its openings. The Third Prince is here, and so is Master Gui. That general is called out for the readers. Obsession is forgotten, but the old man in the sea is not forgotten.
Starting from this chapter, the story spreads from the alleys of Qinghe Town to the sky and the sea. There will be more old people coming out later. When they saw him, some would salute and some would draw their swords.
Obsession is not ready yet. But it's too late.
This chapter brings Zhao Xiaoman back to his obsession, and also picks up the thread of Grandma Zhao again.
Zhao Xiaoman's appearance is not a coincidence. She carried Grandma Zhao's ashes and walked all the way, looking for the man named Shitou. I didn't write this paragraph with bitterness, I just wrote about her eating sesame seeds slowly and the cuts on the back of her hands. The quieter she is, the more uncomfortable her obsession becomes.
Juling Sect did not take action. They used a more ruthless method to invite obsession in. When a person starts telling you the truth about your life experience, you can no longer just treat him as an enemy.
Grandma Zhao dug him out of the stone. I have mentioned this setting in the previous article. The first chapter is about the black stone, the second chapter is about the crack, and the third chapter is about the god falling from the sky. Only in this chapter did I bring Grandma Zhao into the closed loop.
What Obsession wants to do most now is to go back to the mountain and ask Master. But he was hooked by the well. Seven days, full moon night, dry well. He can't leave.
The author has something to say
This chapter was very hilarious to write.
Obsession went down the mountain this time, originally just to buy medicine. But first he met the Juling Sect, then went to the East Street to see the old vegetable seller, and finally bumped into Zhao Xiaoman. Three things were squeezed together. He had just returned to Qinghe Town and people were already involved.
The leader of Juling Sect did not fight him. It's not that I don't want to fight, it's just that it's hard to do it in town. Their journey is more troublesome than Master Zhang's people. Mr. Zhang is a local snake, and the Juling Sect is a dragon crossing the river.
Shopkeeper Lu and Liu Weng both knew each other. This town is not big, and it is full of old connections.
Zhao Xiaoman appeared last, holding a clay pot in his arms. There were several years between her and her obsession, so there was no need to ask anything first. That blue cloth bag will be opened in the next chapter.
The author has something to say
This chapter is the first real descent of obsession.
He didn't run away, nor was he chased by anyone. It was him who wanted to go for a walk. This kind of initiative is important. Xuan Zhenzi only said, don't take action first when encountering trouble. But when he arrived in town, he first went to see Granny Zhou, and then went to East Street to look for the old vegetable seller.
Liu Weng officially appears in this chapter. I arranged a detail for him. He had seen Zhuan Nian secretly eating rice cakes when he first came up the mountain. The purpose of writing this is very simple, he is not someone who appears out of nowhere. He is always there, but he is obsessed with it and doesn't know it.
In this chapter, we meet the Soul Gathering Sect for the first time. Three people, one copper plate with eyes closed. They were not in a hurry to take action, they just said they recognized the thunder in Obsession. This is a hook, not a fight.
The actual action is in the next chapter. This chapter is enough to light the fire.
This chapter took me the longest to write.
I deliberately suppressed writing the part about drawing the symbols. Don't let him learn it quickly, and don't let him become famous instantly. I want to make one thing clear: obsession is not genius. He is the kind of person who accepts death. If your hands are clumsy and your heart is stubborn, you will waste a thousand pictures and draw another thousand and one.
Making a talisman out of nothing is the biggest pleasure of this chapter, but I didn't let it go in vain. Every time he uses it, his life is shortened. The greater your ability, the faster you will die.
The phrase "My surname is Ao" in Dragon Scale is a hook I have been hiding for a long time. As soon as the surname Ao comes out, readers should know that this scale is related to the dragon clan of the East China Sea.
The last part of the cliff broke through the past life of obsession. He is the most beautiful general in the sky. The greater the contrast between this and the mortal boy he is now, squatting on the wall, stealing money bags, and drawing straight lines, the better.
The fun lies behind.
The author has something to say
This chapter was written very slowly.
I wanted to write about the clumsiness of sitting down to practice for the first time. He was not a genius. He couldn't even meditate at first. His mind was filled with wonton soup and Candy Man. But it is precisely because he has so many distracting thoughts that he looks like a human being.
The cracks in the black stone and the appearance of the dragon scales are where this chapter really ends. But I don't want my obsession to become stronger after picking up dragon scales. He is far from strong. He is just finally willing to sit down and let that energy go full circle.
Xuan Zhenzi said, you know too much now, which is not good for your practice. This sentence is also meant for readers. Some things cannot be rushed.
In the next chapter, Obsession begins to learn how to draw talismans. His talisman only has nine talismans. If you use one, your life will be shortened.
We'll see you then.
A naughty boy in Qinghe Town, Yunshan was being chased. Xuan Zhenzi, the junior disciple of Patriarch Bodhi, rescued the child and taught him kung fu. However, Xuan Zhenzi knew that this child would break through the sky in the future.
