Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 930 - 376: Mingjiang Fire Record
In the Sea of Destiny, those souls filled with pain resonated with Zhou Xuan’s emotions.
Amidst the cries of anguish and anger, Zhou Xuan understood—it’s the wrong time.
When was it last time he told a story?
Even though the Mingjiang Prefecture had just experienced a devastating flood at that time.
However, the main affected area was the Mingxi District, and the more populous and economically vibrant Mingdong District wasn’t significantly impacted.
Mingjiang Prefecture’s economy wasn’t greatly affected.
Therefore, social unrest wasn’t substantial, and the vast majority of people still lived stable and orderly lives.
Order and prosperity had not departed from the people of Mingjiang Prefecture; they could still enjoy entertainment in their leisure time with great enthusiasm.
But now, it’s different.
A fire from Zoroastrianism indiscriminately burned, turning Mingjiang Prefecture to ashes, and those once-prosperous streets have now become scorched earth.
People’s money, burned away; homes, burned away; family, also burned to death.
Those who survived, although a smile remains on their faces and they appear cheerful, the wounds in their hearts and confusion about the future are deeply etched into their bones.
Anxiety fills their hearts, and sorrow fills their spirit. In this state, faced with entertaining storytelling, no matter how good it is, they are unwilling to listen anymore.
They truly have no mood to listen; it’s not a good time.
What is considered a good time in the human world — if no trifles weigh on the heart.
The people of Mingjiang Prefecture have too many trifles and worries in their hearts.
This situation is like a city just experienced war; broadcasting pop songs to survivors, who will listen to love songs?
"Need to change to a different book."
Zhou Xuan thought to himself.
What kind of book should be changed?
Zhou Xuan pondered quietly—change it to the popular "The White-Browed Hero" from the Great Fire of Ping Shui Prefecture?
Probably not, the people of Mingjiang Prefecture are too sorrowful and have clearly lost interest in tales of martial conflict.
"If there were a story with no distance from the people of Mingjiang Prefecture, or a story that is the story of the people of Mingjiang Prefecture, they might be willing to listen."
However, Zhou Xuan had many stories in his repertoire, but none were about the people of Mingjiang Prefecture.
For a moment, Zhou Xuan was at a loss.
"Where to find a story about Mingjiang Prefecture?"
Zhou Xuan gazed at the sky, looking towards the "City in the Clouds," hoping to find an answer in that city.
The "City in the Clouds" was the blueprint laid out by the Will Heavenly Book for the reconstruction of Mingjiang Prefecture.
In the blueprint, Zhou Xuan saw East Market Street.
East Market Street was bustling with pedestrians, restoring its previous prosperity.
The sign of the Zhou Family’s Jingyi Shop was hung up again.
Opposite the Jingyi Shop was Sister Cui’s food stall; Sister Cui was busy handling customers in front of the stall.
However, an extremely important figure was missing from the food stall—Mu Hua.
Hua Zi, after merging with Zhou Xuan, defended Mingjiang Prefecture, but even if the entire city’s people could be revived after the reconstruction, Mu Hua might not survive.
At least, there was no Mu Hua on the city blueprint.
"Hua Zi seems not included in the revival plan of the Heavenly Book, sigh, Hua Zi..."
When Zhou Xuan thought of Hua Zi, he recalled the young man who loved storytelling, telling stories to Little Fuzi every day.
Just this thought, Zhou Xuan suddenly became excited.
An inspiring storytelling story for the people of Mingjiang Prefecture—wasn’t it right within Mingjiang Prefecture?
"Since the stories of Immortals and Martial Heroes can no longer attract the interest of the disaster victims, then I’ll tell a story set in Mingjiang Prefecture—a tale of Day and Night Wandering God resisting the Buddha Country, Huangyuan Demon, and Star Covering.
I’ll tell the story during the Zoroastrian fire in Mingjiang Prefecture, about those pitiful yet admirable people who, amidst the fire, stayed with their families without leaving."
"Becoming Immortals or Heroes is too far from us; the spirit of the people of Mingjiang Prefecture is the most vivid thing right now."
In Zhou Xuan’s mind appeared many figures, including the God of Suffering, fearlessly and bravely entering Mingjiang Prefecture, fighting against Star Covering with outdated techniques;
The King Xishan planned to kill the Zhiming Monk, with the two scriptures of the Valley meeting the passionate "Dun Jia Nine Incense" Zhao Qingxiao in battle.
Sixteen Yingtang Mountain Barbarians entered Mingjiang Prefecture together, chasing and intercepting the Fire Sect believers.
Also, those shoemakers, coppersmiths, and dock workers in the fire, desperately fighting the fire, just to save their families, coworkers, and friends.
Of course, in the end, all these scenes were scattered and then merged together, solidifying into Mu Hua, that young man who served and delivered dishes...
"Just tell this story..."
Zhou Xuan made up his mind immediately, taking out his pen, on the storytelling stage, he began writing a new storyline.
Throughout the Zoroastrian disaster, whether it was before or after the disaster, Zhou Xuan participated fully, all those touching, passionate, and tragically fierce events, with their emotional undercurrents, deeply moved him,
This kind of influence was also an inspiration, and Zhou Xuan’s pen flowed freely across the pages...
...
The storyteller suddenly stopped telling stories and instead wrote and drew on stage, an almost unheard-of occurrence in Jing Country. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
If it weren’t Zhou Xuan, the grand master on stage, changed to a different storyteller, the audience would already be unbearable, with whistles and curses, forcing the storyteller off the stage.
