Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Li Xiuyuan took out some silver and paid for the masks for the two people. Gu Liufang tried to refuse, but under his gaze, she could only give in and accept the masks.

Just then, a young woman came skipping and hopping along, as lively as a rabbit.

The woman was dressed in a simple yet elegant purple-red dress, with her hair simply tied up in a bun and adorned with a jade chrysanthemum hairpin with eight treasures, appearing like a floating cloud.

The bright lights outlined her delicate features, radiating a soft glow. Her charming smile revealed a face as beautiful as a lotus flower, with bright, sparkling eyes.

The girl was accompanied by a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties.

When the shopkeeper saw the young girl approaching, he introduced her, saying, "Little girl, take a look!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his many masks.

At this moment, the girl exclaimed as if she had discovered a new continent, "Wow! So many masks!"

As she spoke, she pointed her slender, delicate hand at the mask stall.

Upon hearing the girl's exclamation, the shopkeeper laughed and said, "These masks are all based on the story of Nuwa."

"Nuwa!"

The girl asked in confusion.

At this moment, the boss smiled slightly and said, "Hey, have you ever heard of the story of Nuwa?"

After saying that, he opened his eyes and looked at the crowd.

When Li Xiuyuan heard the boss talking about Nuwa, he found it a bit funny. After all, talking about Nuwa's deeds in front of Nuwa's descendants was like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu!

However, it is precisely because of this that one can give oneself a chance!

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

The girl was none other than Zixuan, a descendant of Nuwa. Her hair was piled high in a bun at the back of her head, and her long hair was tied into two braids, which reflected her elder-like and gentle temperament.

Because of the Miao-style silver flower crown, forehead ornaments, earrings, etc. on their clothes, they have the flavor of ethnic minorities in Southwest China.

Her dress had pleats at every inch of the hem, and was decorated with tassels at the ends on both sides.

Chapter 193 Myths and Legends

Her dress had pleats at every inch of the hem, and was decorated with tassels at the ends on both sides.

The snake tattoo on her arm signifies her special identity, while the bandages on her legs are faintly visible. The specially designed wrist and ankle guards further accentuate her carefree and unrestrained nature.

Zixuan smiled and said, "Of course I've heard of it!"

Having said that, he looked at the boss with great excitement.

As a descendant of Nuwa, Zixuan was naturally very familiar with Nuwa's story.

Although many of the stories here are false and made up by people, they have been passed down for so many years that few people know whether they are true or false.

After saying that, Zixuan added, "Hey, you."

At this moment, the woman in white beside her pulled her aside and smiled at the shop owner, saying, "Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, the boss smiled and said, "Nuwa! Before creating humans, she created chickens on the first day of the Lunar New Year, dogs on the second, sheep on the third, and pigs on the fourth."

"pig!"

Suddenly, Zixuan started to cheer, and she echoed the story of Nuwa creating humans.

The boss saw Zixuan speak, glanced at her, and then continued, "The horse was created on the sixth day of the month."

At this moment, Zixuan spoke again, clapping her hands and laughing, "On the seventh day, Nuwa imitated her own image and created little clay figures."

"This is so that humankind can have an everlasting lineage. Nuwa also created the marriage ceremony, acting as the matchmaker herself. Everyone learned how to create humans and pass on their lineage through their own efforts."

As she spoke, she gestured with her delicate hand.

After the boss and Zixuan told the story of Nuwa creating humans, everyone listened attentively. It must be said that all the subjects of the Nanzhao Kingdom believed in the goddess Nuwa.

Therefore, these people were very eager to know about Nuwa's deeds, unlike in countries like the Tang Dynasty, where people only believed in various religious traditions, such as Buddhism and Taoism.

In the Nanzhao Kingdom, almost no one could interfere. There were no temples or Taoist traditions here, which must have been agreed upon by the saints!

When Li Xiuyuan saw Zixuan's playful entrance, he smiled slightly. In this situation, if you want to attract her attention, you first need to have some skills.

Meanwhile, Gu Liufang, who was standing nearby, was also very curious about the story of Nuwa creating humans, and listened attentively.

When the boss saw Zixuan recount everything about Nuwa creating humans, he was incredibly surprised and shocked, exclaiming, "She...she knows everything!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Zixuan.

The shopkeeper then added, "Oh, right, there's also the story of Fuxi and Nuwa, you didn't know that, did you!"

The boss clapped his hands and laughed, "Does everyone want to know?"

After hearing the boss's words, everyone responded in unison, "We want to know!"

"I would like to know."

"Boss, just tell us already!"

A lively commotion arose from within.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "If everyone wants to hear more, each of you should buy a mask and listen to the story while wearing one. That'll really create a great atmosphere!"

"Come on, come on!"

As he spoke, the shop owner began to introduce his masks.

Upon seeing this person's advertisement, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly. "Well, he does have some sales skills. He's using the story of Nuwa creating humans to attract everyone's attention."

Once everyone has arrived, tell a sequel-like story, have everyone buy the masks first, and then continue the story.

This is like a woman who, after undressing halfway through, suddenly stops, which naturally makes people reluctant to let her go.

Before Zixuan came out, Li Xiuyuan walked out and smiled, "Ignore him, I'll tell everyone."

After saying that, he walked out from there.

what!

When everyone saw this masked person suddenly appear, they were surprised. Did he really know the story of Fuxi and Nuwa?

Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up slightly as he smiled and said, "Where are Fuxi and Nuwa?"

"They were originally a brother and sister, but at the beginning of the universe, there were only the two of them living at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. There were no other humans at that time, so they wanted to get married."

"But they both hate Xiu, so what should we do?"

After saying that, he looked around at the crowd and, in his slightly magnetic voice, told the whole story, captivating everyone who listened.

Upon hearing this question, everyone looked around, curious as to why the two would do such a thing.

At this moment, Zixuan exclaimed, "I know, I know!"

After saying that, she ran out and smiled, "Nuwa and Fuxi climbed up Mount Kunlun and asked the heavens."

"Heavens above! If you wish us to be husband and wife, then merge the clouds in the sky into one!"

Seeing that Zi Xuan had spoken, Li Xiuyuan was not annoyed. He smiled and continued, "If you don't want us to be husband and wife, then let the clouds disperse!"

"Finally, the clouds in the sky came together, and so the two of them became husband and wife and had many, many children. Humans today are their descendants."

The two said this in unison. Zi Xuan looked at Li Xiuyuan's tall and slender figure and his imposing manner, and couldn't help but feel a great liking for him.

But the way the two of them kept asking each other questions made it sound like Nuwa and Fuxi were talking, which made her blush.

The onlookers, seeing this astonishing scene, began to exclaim, "Ah! The little girl is blushing!"

"Yes!"

"Were you two just asking the heavens?"

Chapter 194 Shamefully Questioning Heaven

As she spoke, a burst of laughter rang out, and Zixuan, who was already blushing deeply, quickly explained, "No, no, it's just that this young master and I happen to know this story at the same time."

Li Xiuyuan was shameless, and wearing a mask made him even less shy.

At this moment, the boss saw the two of them and, in unison, began to tell the story, complaining, "I'm telling you, I only look forward to doing business on these two days all year long!"

"I have a wife, children, and elderly parents at home who need to be fed!"

"After all this commotion, how am I supposed to sell anything now!"

After saying that, he sighed.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers all left. After hearing the story, they naturally no longer wanted to buy the masks!

Upon hearing this, Zixuan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, then I'll buy a few!"

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan spoke up: "Boss, if these can't be sold, I'll buy them all for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot from his pocket, while these dozens of masks were not worth much money.

Li Xiuyuan asked calmly, "Is that enough?"

Upon seeing the glittering gold, the boss repeatedly replied, "That's enough, that's enough!"

Having said that, he took the gold, as if afraid the other party would go back on their word.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly, looked at Zixuan and the Holy Maiden beside him, and said, "Whichever mask this young lady takes a fancy to, I will give it to you both!"

After saying that, he let the two people choose a mask.
