Looking at the information from Yunshan Mist Cover, Ling Qing understood that what he was talking about was probably Wang Qi's search for the path in Laoshan Mountain.
As the information disappeared, he began to face a choice.
This copy still has the opportunity to choose an identity.
There are four identities in total: swordsman, scholar, layman, and woodcutter.
Among them, swordsmen and scholars need not be mentioned, but there are only two skills: civil and military.
In Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, those who can come into contact with gods and ghosts mostly have these two identities.
The lay people are probably people who seek Taoism at home, and they probably know some Taoist scriptures, anecdotes about gods and the like.
The last woodcutter, whether it is the woodcutter who guides Sun Wukong to find Fangcun Mountain and Sanxing Cave in Journey to the West, or the woodcutter who fails while watching chess.
It seems that most of them are easier to find the place where the fairy fate is.
Lingqing thought for a while and first excluded the swordsman and the woodcutter.
Choosing a swordsman is nothing more than getting a set of fists and weapons just like what Tian Yong and the others chose last time.
But he also exchanged a set of staff skills and spell protection from the Special Affairs Department, so he has no shortage of attack methods.
Although the woodcutter is more likely to meet immortals, his purpose this time is clear and it seems that he won't be able to use it.
Moreover, in legends, although woodcutters are easy to meet immortals, few follow them to practice Taoism. There is also a theory that they are the immortals themselves.
Although he didn’t know the reason, it was enough to make Ling Qing give up.
Among the remaining scholars and laymen, one is an unshakable protagonist in the fantasy novel, and the other has a foundation in Taoism, which will make it easier to learn Taoism in the future.
Faced with these two choices, Lingqing was a little embarrassed for a moment.
After thinking about it for a while, he still chose the identity of a scholar.
Lingqing made this choice mainly because he valued his identity as a scholar.
At any time, even in modern times, knowledgeable people will be looked down upon by others, let alone ancient times where the style of writing was even better.
Whether it is in fantasy novels or historical records, whether they are faced with monsters, foxes, ghosts, bandits, or robbers, it is rare for a scholar to be harmed by a disagreement.
Even if it is this important identity that he is worried about, this is what Lingqing values.
As long as he doesn't die in danger, with a spell book with enough ammunition, he can fight against any danger.
No matter how bad things get, you can still get away.
Furthermore, many scholars read novels about supernatural beings and admire immortality, just like Wang Sheng in "The Taoist Priest of Mount Laoshan".
Following his choice, Lingqing appeared in a small town as the landscape changed.
Compared to Tianshui Town last time, this town seemed more quaint, and it seemed that the people who visited it were dressed in a more ancient style.
But these Lingqing didn't care, he wasn't here for archeology.
The most important thing now is to rush to Laoshan as soon as possible to learn the immortal method.
Although there must be more than just one opportunity in Laoshan in this large copy.
But not to mention the danger involved, Ling Qing gave up just looking for it without a trace.
There were quite a few people who came in this time, and most of them were directly aiming to enter the Qing Palace on Mount Laoshan to practice Taoism and study Dharma.
I don’t know if there will be restrictions on the number of people who can enter the Shangqing Palace. If the fate is not enough, I can’t blame others.
But if someone else arrived first and took advantage of the opportunity, then it would be too late to regret it.
At the same time, a piece of information flashed before my eyes:
"The characters acquire a large amount of Confucian knowledge (the Four Books and Five Classics, etc.), a small amount of Taoist knowledge (the Tao Te Ching, etc.), and a small amount of mysterious knowledge (legends of gods, spirits, monsters, etc.)."
As expected, there are no skills, most of them are written knowledge, which are unified into knowledge and skills.
Lingqing put aside the knowledge pouring into his mind and looked at his whole body. The long gown turned into a Confucian gown.
The medicine basket behind him has been turned into a bookcase, and the medical flag in his hand has been torn off and turned into a canopy on the bookcase.
The iron birch stick he was carrying was thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with the bottom gradually becoming sharper. It was wrapped with a tapered iron sheet.
The knotted branches and leaves above turn into a simple staff head.
"My husband is right. How can I get to Laoshan?"
After looking around for a while, Lingqing stopped an old man who looked quite knowledgeable and asked.
In modern times, if you want to go somewhere, you can use the map software on your mobile phone to search for it, and everything will come out, and even the road can be planned.
But in ancient times, only a black eye could be seen.
Without such convenient map navigation, if you want to reach your destination in a strange place, you can only ask while walking.
Although I have been to Laoshan, I only went there by car.
I didn’t have much impression on those places I passed on the road.
As for why not prepare a map?
Not to mention the geographical differences between modern and ancient times, in a place where there are gods and ghosts.
If you dare to run rampant with a map in hand, you may run into a goblin hole.
Of course, Lingqing still bought a map of the vicinity of Laoshan from the Special Affairs Bureau. This was a simple map printed using the paper and ink brought from the copy.
It marks the approximate location of the Qing Palace on Mount Laoshan in the dungeon. This is also to make it easier for everyone to find their destination and avoid getting lost in the mountains.
"The scholar asked me what happened in Laoshan?"
After the old man glanced at Ling Qing, he asked without answering, "Is there something important?"
"I'm looking for friends, and I heard that there are deep rocks, secluded valleys and beautiful scenery in Laoshan Mountain. There are many immortal people who practice immortality and Taoism. I also want to look for it."
Lingqing answered truthfully.
"Since ancient times, it has been difficult to find the immortal path, but there are many ghosts, monsters and beasts.
If your friend is not in a hurry, the scholar should put this idea aside and not go to Mount Laoshan. "
"Why?"
"Did you see that behind the mountains in the distance is Laoshan Mountain? To go from our Jinshui Town to Laoshan Mountain, you need to pass through the Miaoshan Mountain.
But recently I heard from people who came down from Miao Mountain that there is a tiger problem on the mountain. More than ten tigers come down the mountain to eat people all day long.
Even the merchants who were outnumbered and had strong martial arts skills did not dare to cross. Several villages near Miao Mountain were busy fleeing.
If a scholar goes there alone, isn't he risking his own death? "
More than a dozen tigers?
Tigers mostly occupy the hills alone and rarely move in groups.
This is because tigers eat a lot, and it is difficult to feed multiple tigers in a limited area.
But when food is plentiful, tigers don't mind living in groups.
But according to what my father-in-law said, tigers coming down the mountain and leading people to eat people is just a recent thing.
Moreover, the surrounding people did not cultivate land on a large scale, so as not to force the tigers to survive in the mountains.
In addition, the Special Affairs Department has warned many times that there are many ghosts in the dungeon, so there must be something weird happening in the mountains, or there are evil spirits causing trouble.
"Is there any other way to Mount Laoshan? It's really a friend's invitation and it's hard to refuse.
Moreover, Xiaosheng has walked most of the way and it is difficult to turn back. "
Lingqing thought for a while, and realized that he couldn't bear the risk, and it was not impossible to change the direction.
"Forget it, if you want to go to Laoshan, you can go around Miaoshan for more than ten days. You can also get there by walking to Changyang Town."
"Thank you, husband."
After Lingqing asked in detail how to go, he saluted his father-in-law and turned to leave.
