Wandering Gods of Day and Night

There he was babbling away, and Zhou Xuan pulled Li Yutang aside and whispered, "Look at him, doesn’t he look nothing like a high monk now?"

"Not at all, he looks more like... like... like a street hooligan." Li Yutang stammered, finally voicing what was on his mind.

Zhou Xuan clapped his hands together and gave a thumbs-up, saying, "Brother Li, you really have an eye for people."

This one sentence summed up Ya Zi’s personality.

"What I need your help with now is to wash away his hooligan demeanor, and make him exude the aura of a renowned temple’s high monk from head to toe."

With that, Zhou Xuan presented Li Yutang with quite a dilemma.

Li Yutang circled Zhao Wuya several times, examining him thoroughly from head to foot, before speaking to Zhou Xuan with twelve parts of defeat, "Young Master, even Little Yutang is helpless here."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"His innate conditions are too poor... to be precise, he lacks the sense of weariness and isn’t old enough."

Li Yutang began recounting the renowned monks he had seen, saying, "The high monks I’ve seen in the past are usually older, either with a dignified appearance, born noble,

or with faces full of the vicissitudes of life, as if all the suffering in the world has gathered in their hearts,

Mr. Zhao here, doesn’t fit any of those."

"Are you denying my identity as a high monk? Ya Zi might throw a fit." Zhao Wuya got very angry, and a sudden gust of wind rose around him.

After all, he was a Dragon Seeking Heavenly Master with Six Incense Sticks, a status that granted access to the God Traveling Department in many prefecture cities.

Li Yutang, despite being a renowned actor, was just an ordinary person, how could he not be afraid.

He hurriedly hid behind Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan immediately scolded, "Ya Zi, stop fooling around and keep your temper in check."

He then turned to Li Yutang and said,

"Brother Li, I think we should cast aside some of the stereotypes about high monks and create a more unique image for him, so that when people see him, they have an inexplicable sense of awe."

"Inexplicable awe?" Li Yutang racked his brains but couldn’t quite understand the phrase.

"Even if you can’t understand it, there’s a feeling that he’s very formidable." Zhou Xuan explained.

"..." Li Yutang.

Li Yutang: "Young Master’s words are really playful, quite interesting. You say you want to create a unique image, so what kind of image do you have in mind?"

Zhou Xuan said, "Oh, for example, turn Ya Zi into a beggar."

"A beggar... you mean a person who begs?"

"Exactly."

"Someone who looks like a beggar, but in reality, he’s a high monk."

Zhou Xuan said this.

"Sounds... not very reliable, huh?"

"That’s called contrast."

Zhou Xuan said, "Brother Li, think about it—a beggar is someone from the lowest of the low, but this beggar, once in a while, can utter some deeply profound Zen sayings, isn’t that more impactful, making people think—this must be a high monk."

"Got it... a saint often resides in humble abodes, and people believe him to be a saint even more."

Li Yutang, who had risen to be the new sixth brother in the talent-rich Zhou Family’s Troupe, was certainly no simpleton—he genuinely loved reading books in his free time,

and he immediately grasped Zhou Xuan’s intention.

Zhou Xuan lightly patted Li Yutang, saying, "Brother Li is wise, you understand the sentiment."

"But... still not possible... I haven’t seen such a person."

Li Yutang understood Zhou Xuan’s idea, but since his acting was rooted in real life, he hadn’t encountered a ’beggar-like high monk’ in his life, so imagining one out of thin air was truly beyond his creative powers.

"Haven’t seen one?"

Zhou Xuan lowered his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "Then I’ll show you one."

"How will you show me?" Li Yutang asked, puzzled.

He hadn’t heard of any beggar high monks in Ping Shui Prefecture.

"I’ll act as one for you."

Zhou Xuan immediately activated "Hundred Human Phenomena."

Hundred Human Phenomena, a Heavenly God Level trait—as long as Zhou Xuan had seen the person, he could imitate them to the finest detail.

Not only could he imitate, but Zhou Xuan could even perceive the mindset of the person he was impersonating while acting.

Zhou Xuan’s mind flashed with the classic image from a past life’s TV show—You Benchang’s version of Jigong.

As the Phenomena activated, Zhou Xuan instantly sat on the ground with a casual air, holding a tattered fan, and his empty left hand scratched inside his clothes.

Just this scene alone amazed Li Yutang, who was baffled by where Young Master had acquired such skills, transforming into another person right out of nowhere.

"Young Master’s beggar act is good, but the sense of a high monk... I still haven’t seen any... any... inexplicable awe."

Li Yutang was in the middle of speaking,

when Zhou Xuan slowly lifted his head, and his expression mimicked Mr. You’s once-famous skill—half laughing, half crying.

It was half a smile, half a frown, encapsulating all the joys and sorrows of the world, leaving Li Yutang in a daze,

as if seeing a seemingly unorthodox, but truly compassionate Living Buddha.

As Li Yutang watched, he inexplicably felt a sense of emotion welling up, which then solidified into faith,

being a believer in Buddhism, he now only felt that Zhou Xuan was a Living Buddha who had stepped out of the shrine.

"Thud."

Li Yutang immediately knelt before Zhou Xuan, devoutly performing the Buddhist rites...
