Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

At 4:30 a.m., Yang Yunsheng was wide awake.

He turned on his Douyin app, not even thinking about browsing for pictures of beautiful women.

In his previous life, Yang Yunsheng enjoyed flirting with beautiful women.

After being reborn, my desire for these things is not actually that high anymore.

Even in terms of physiological characteristics, there isn't that much need; I wonder if it's the price of rebirth.

You should know that in Yang Yunsheng's previous life, she felt like the sky was falling if she didn't get glue applied for three days.

Now, it doesn't matter anymore.

Yang Yunsheng hesitated for a moment before clicking on the live stream.

He had done a live stream before, but not many people watched it, so he stopped.

Furthermore, live streaming is not his profession; he only streams for fun.

He did remember Cao Yunjin, who in his previous life was the first to start online crosstalk, but was severely criticized by Deyun Society.

To be precise, he was criticized by Guo Degang's fans for taking the blame.

In fact, online crosstalk is a very good channel for promoting crosstalk.

As for whether or not to close the tipping channel for free online crosstalk performances, it is definitely unnecessary.

In the past, when he performed crosstalk under the old overpass, many people would stop to watch.

In such situations, those with money will usually support the event financially, while those without money will simply show their support by being present.

Therefore, tipping is essentially voluntary.

If you think I did a good job, then a tip of three or five yuan is fine, and a tip of one or two hundred yuan is fine too.

In short, it's entirely voluntary.

After Yang Yunsheng started the live stream, seven or eight people quickly joined.

That's right, seven or eight.

For Yang Yunsheng, seven or eight people at 4:30 a.m. was already a lot.

What does this mean? It means these people are all night owls!
Of course, it's also possible they're working the night shift.

Yang Yunsheng greeted them as they entered the live broadcast room.

The comments were also very friendly, considering there were only a few people.

"Wait a minute, this person is Yang Yunsheng himself, right!"

"No, buddy, you didn't know whose livestream you entered, did you!"

"Yang Yunsheng, a crosstalk performer from Deyun Society, and Guo Degang's apprentice, that must be him, because he has the character 'Yun' in his name!"

When Yang Yunsheng saw this comment, he thought the person was a jerk.

A crosstalk performer from Deyun Society, and Guo Degang's apprentice?
If it has the character "Yun" in it, then it must be Guo Degang's apprentice, right?

What about Cao Yunjin?

Well, in the eyes of fans who like Deyun Club, he is a traitor.

What about He Yunwei?

He's also a traitor, and this is the senior brother!

What about Yan Yunda?

At this time, Yan Yunda had not yet slept with someone's wife, which led to his divorce.

As for why Yan Yunda was able to sleep with that person's wife, who knows? Maybe some people just like ugly women!
This is no joke. Think about Dong Jie and Wang Dalei—no, Wang Dazhi.

Can you imagine someone turning down a handsome guy like Xiao Pan and getting together with Wang Dazhi?

The comments below were even more interesting. "You fake fan, this is Yan Hexiang from Tingyunxuan."

Yang Yunsheng was both amused and exasperated. He introduced himself, "Hello everyone, I am Yang Yunsheng, a crosstalk performer from Tingyunxuan."

The chat froze instantly, with only the message that viewers had entered the live stream appearing.

"Eating six meals a day has joined the live stream!"

"Li Huowang from the Exploding Sky Gang has joined the live stream!"

"Sixpence and the Moon join the live stream!"

When Yang Yunsheng saw that the live chat had stopped, he immediately started interacting with the audience.

"Thank you all for coming to my live stream. It's late at night and so many people are here. To show my appreciation, I'll tell you a story! I hope you enjoy it!"

The audience has now reached 107.

That means there are currently 107 night owls.

The number of night owls is still increasing.

Moreover, these night owls have different preferences when it comes to listening to storytelling.

Yang Yunsheng smiled, and seeing one of the comments, he said, "You all want to hear a lot, so in that case, I'll tell you a story about the Investiture of the Gods!"

The comments section was full of praise, so Yang Yunsheng cleared his throat.

"Flowers are few, but the rules of the book are the true essence. Starting today, we will talk about the first book, 'Investiture of the Gods'."

"Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West are both Chinese mythological stories. Audiences love to listen to them!"

"But the Investiture of the Gods is actually hard to say!"

"Why is it hard to say? It's too far removed from our time, and it's a story from ancient times."

"But when you talk about it, you can't just say it according to ancient times, according to the real historical situation, or according to the Shang-Zhou Chronology Project."

"In the end, the whole story falls apart."

"What you're saying about so-and-so flying and having fairies is all nonsense!"

"So, this is a mixture of truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth."

"If you ask me whether there are gods or monsters in the world, the answer is two."

"I can't say he has it, nor can I say he doesn't. The only explanation is that, through scientific means, humanity can only understand about five percent of the current universe and our world."

"And five percent is actually an overstatement; to be precise, it's less than five percent."

"There are many things that we cannot explain. But we cannot say that others do not have them just because we cannot explain them, as that would be unfair."

"If we were to say that, it would only make us look ignorant!"

"So, when you're listening to stories, remember this: don't take things too seriously! If you take things too seriously, the world will fall apart, and you won't be able to get by."

"Of course, as for the supernatural and ghostly claims, if you're saying he's just running a scam and using supernatural elements to deceive people, that's a different matter, and we shouldn't be talking about that."

Yang Yunsheng cleared his throat and began reciting the opening poem.

"In the beginning of chaos, Pangu was the first, followed by Taiji, Yin and Yang, and the Four Symbols. The first was Zi (子), representing Heaven; the second was Chou (丑), representing Earth; and the third was Yin (寅). To avoid the scourge of beasts, Chaoxian was wise. Suiren (燧人) brought fire, eliminating the need for fresh food. Fuxi (伏羲) drew the Eight Trigrams, preceding Yin and Yang. Shennong (神农) ruled the world by tasting hundreds of herbs. Xuanyuan (轩辕) established rites, music, and marriage. Yu the Great (禹) controlled the floods, bringing peace and prosperity until Jie (桀) became tyrannical. Then came the Investiture of the Gods, and now listen to this humble Taoist tell the origins!"
After reciting the opening poem, Yang Yunsheng took out a fan from somewhere and started waving it.

"It is said that King Wu of Zhou's conquest of King Zhou was ordained by Heaven! But the first meritorious official in this conquest was not a military general, but an old man with white beard and hair, and an air of otherworldly wisdom! This man's surname was Jiang, his given name was Shang, his courtesy name was Ziya, and his Taoist name was Feixiong. He was originally a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, and had been cultivating Taoism for more than forty years."

Alas, Jiang Shang, though blessed with good fortune, was still bound to the mortal world, his innate talent hindering his path to immortality! One day, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable summoned him before the Eight Treasures Cloud Light Throne and said, "Ziya, you were born with a thin fate, and it is difficult for you to attain immortality. You can only enjoy the blessings of the mortal world. The Shang dynasty's fate is exhausted, and the Zhou dynasty will rise. You will do my part, descend the mountain to confer titles upon the gods, and assist the wise ruler. As a general and minister, your forty years of cultivation will not have been in vain."

Yang Yunsheng paused for a moment, then continued.

Upon hearing this, Ziya was struck dumb! He knelt on the ground, weeping, and cried out: "Master! Your disciple sincerely left home to become a monk, enduring countless years of hardship, hoping to refine the Golden Elixir and attain enlightenment. Now, faced with this sudden change, your disciple would rather remain in the mountains to cultivate diligently than covet worldly riches!"
