This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

"Mingche, your mind is restless and your worldly ties are not yet severed. It is not suitable for you to cultivate on the mountain. Before you go down the mountain this time, you should dispel your confusion, see the world, and enter the world without your mind becoming impure."

"Master, a less emotionally intelligent way of saying it is also acceptable, I won't mind."

"You eat five bowls of rice in one meal, I can hardly afford to feed you anymore! Hurry up and go down the mountain! Don't waste a minute, or you'll miss the rolling ball train."

"Master, it will hurt your feelings if you say that."

"Isn't this what you told your master to tell the truth?"

Li Qing whimpered.

Helpless, pitiful, whimpering, but with a big appetite.

"A day as master and disciple is a hundred days of kindness. We've been master and disciple for so many days. Master, you must introduce me to a way to make a living. Otherwise, if I end up begging for food in such a miserable state after coming down the mountain, it will tarnish your reputation."

"Don't worry, I still have some connections, so getting you a meal won't be a problem. Once you get here, someone will naturally come to talk to you."

The old Taoist priest with white eyebrows quickly waved his hand.

The withered old man slipped Li Qing a piece of paper with his address and phone number written on it.

"Alright, Master."

Li Qing didn't say anything, but silently bowed to the old Taoist priest.

Then, without looking back, the Taoist priest went down the mountain.

A slightly desolate and lonely figure.

Today, the Taoist priest descends the mountain, his heart filled with worldly worries and anxieties.

......

But after descending the mountain, the young Taoist priest stood tall and straight!

He became arrogant, proud, and laughed.

[Ding, congratulations host for completing all Taoist lessons. The Taoist is now departing the mountain.]

[Completed: Mastery of All Skills]

[Completed: Physiognomy]

[Completed: Dunjia Qimen]

【Finish....】

...

[Please experience the myriad joys and sorrows of the mortal world, host. Goodbye.]

Then, the voice that had been bothering me for so long disappeared.

After descending the mountain, Li Qingcai couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"

He practiced asceticism in the mountains for so many years.

I've finally graduated from the system training.

The Taoist's skills are maxed out!

Finally, I no longer have to complete tasks every day with the constant "dinging" of burning incense, praying to gods, doing homework, reciting scriptures, and practicing the Nine Turns of the Wheel every day during the hottest days of summer and winter.

While it might not have driven Li Qing to the brink of neurasthenia, such a life was certainly rather dull for Li Qing, who was still young and hadn't even turned gray yet.

"Sigh, I've been trapped in this small county by this damn system for almost ten years. Finally, I can come down the mountain to pay my respects. Goodbye, System!"

It's better to continue drifting in this mortal world!

Amidst the chaos and turmoil, some rejoice while others grieve, Li Qing simply loves the joys and sorrows of this mortal world.

Doesn't Taoism also have the concept of delving into the subtleties of the mortal world and experiencing all its aspects?

However, as he stepped out of the mountain gate, Li Qing mustered his strength and roared into the mountains.

"Master! Thank you for your guidance over the years. Your disciple Xuanqing will always remember! I'll bring you back your idol's autograph, don't worry! It's a limited edition!"

"And also, Master, I hope there will be electricity on the mountain next time we go up, and preferably internet or something! Otherwise, it's really, really, so incredibly boring!!"

A flurry of birds took flight from the mountain forest.

The old Taoist priest, who was practicing meditation on the mountain, was startled by the sound and staggered.

Supreme Celestial Venerable.

This animal.

They can shout that loudly even down in the mountains.

Looks like the meal wasn't a complete waste.

"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, it's good that you remember me, my disciple. With you hanging out here, I don't feel lonely."

The old Taoist priest smiled gently and continued to sit upright on the futon, his mind empty, with only the sound of the waterfall beside him.

High sky, drifting clouds and mist, tranquil mountain forest.

The scriptures for saving people from suffering have been recited, but there is no one else here.

Cultivating oneself alone in the mountains, so be it.

Also carefree.

........

"Go to Hengdian! Become a movie star! 208 million a day, you could probably afford a Manchu Han Imperial Feast every day."

"With my looks, I'd be perfect as an actress."

Li Qing boarded the train, looking at the address on the small piece of paper.

It had a little dogtail grass dangling from its mouth.

After wandering around, everything around me was quite new and exciting.

"I've only ever ridden green trains before, and the last time I rode one was with an old Taoist priest. Now everything is so high-class."

Li Qing looked like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, a complete country bumpkin from the mountains.

Unfortunately, our Taoist priest Li is quite handsome, even a little cute.

"She's kind of cute being a bit silly..."

The pretty girl next to me whispered.

If it were someone ugly instead, this "cute" would turn into "country bumpkin".

Although he had never left the county for so many years and had been practicing cultivation, he had at least seen pigs run, even if he had never eaten pork.

It was only novel for a short while, and then nothing special; its acceptance level was extremely low.

Time flies, and lunchtime is here in the blink of an eye.

"Sir, would you like instant noodles or a boxed meal?" The pretty flight attendant pushed a trolley to Li Qing.

Li Qing was just taking two large steamed buns out of his bag and starting to eat them.

"How much does this boxed lunch cost?"

"Pfft... Twenty yuan." The flight attendant almost burst out laughing. She didn't mean to mock him, but the way his cheeks were stuffed with steamed buns was indeed a bit funny.

"Damn it, forget it."

Li Qing shook his head violently; this is all the boxed lunch he got for twenty yuan.

One box isn't even enough to fill me up to a third!

It takes three of these boxed meals to feel truly full.

If you were to buy steamed buns instead, ten yuan would be enough to last you a whole day.

Not worth it, not worth it at all!

Although his master had explained the route to the restaurant, Li Qing was still very aware of the potential risks and knew that he should use his money wisely.

"Then I wish the passengers a pleasant journey."

The flight attendant left, but she wasn't surprised; she hadn't sold many boxed meals anyway.

Most people here, like Li Qing, bring their own lunchboxes. Some eat instant noodles, some eat dry food, and some have their own lunchboxes. This is the majority of people.

Every little bit helps.

Before this train filled with dreams arrives...

Before achieving your dreams, everyone is the same, no two are any different.

The train was packed with people, all heading to the same destination; no one got off midway.

Everyone harbors similar dreams.

For this dream, they have burned their lives and youth one after another.

Li Qing clutched the note in her hand.

After a series of transfers, we arrived at the station and got off the train. People in front of and behind us were also rushing to get off.

Come to this place and chase your dreams.

Li Qing looked at the sign in front of her.

"We've arrived."

Here.

That's Hengdian.

Kites chasing their dreams on the train, wherever the train arrives.

This is it!
