🥋 Flexorcist Monk
(By anonymous stableboy. Oail on canvais. 1869.)
Becoming a flexorcist monk was surely the best decision in Yan Feng Gu's life as it was this decision that led him to interacting with evil spirits and obtaining a unique curse that turned him back into a young man every 100 years, effectively making him immortal as long as he can take care of himself.
Of course, like other future monks, Gu was taught some tight-belting, not for beauty or fashion of course, it was actually an important protective measure against evil spirits and some flexorcist monk leaving his bedroom without a tight belt was a rare sight indeed.
By commoner standards, Gu was quite a wasp boy, but he was honestly not as good as some other boys in his monk group, and maybe that's why he's alive to this day, after several centuries since his birth. Either it was an extremely difficult mission or not enough protection but the evil spirits sure had fun at his expense.
Also like you still find a time for stories it adds a lot depth and soult wich other just generated pieces will never have.
Glad you enjoyed the story! I'm trying to gather new ideas for the lore from everywhere: comments, my own stories, even AI art 😄 I mean I wasn't even thinking about it before this picture but now can imagine a whole monastery of dedicated wasped monks...
