"Legacy of the Celestial Guardian: The Tale of Tianlu Pixiu" emerges as a riveting fusion of ancient Chinese mythology and a contemporary saga of discovery and valor. In the heart of a village parched by relentless drought, young Ming uncovers an enigmatic bronze figurine, believed to be the mythical Tianlu Pixiu, a celestial guardian lost in the annals of history. As Ming unwittingly reawakens this formidable creature, an extraordinary bond forms, bridging millennia. The Tianlu Pixiu, a regal entity with a dragon's visage, a horse's physique, the elegance of a lion, and a solitary horn, symbolizes not just prosperity but also a formidable protector against misfortune. This remarkable discovery propels Ming and the Pixiu on a fabled odyssey to seek the blessings of the God of Fortune, their only hope to revive the fading fortunes of Qinghua, their village. Their journey, steeped in enigma and cloaked in the shadows of legend, leads them to encounters with celestial dragons, sagacious spirits, and deities, each chapter unfolding another fragment of this intricate mythos. These encounters not only enrich the tapestry of the narrative but also illuminate Ming's journey towards understanding valor, kinship, and the true nature of abundance. Intertwined within this mesmerizing tale is a foreword by Li Jinn, the esteemed author of "PiXiu Celestial Coming With Fortune: Emblem of Wealth Luck." His erudite insights on the Pixiu Tianlu not only set the stage for this mythical exploration but also hint at the creature's existence over 2500 years ago, deepening the mystery and allure surrounding it. His scholarly perspective offers a gateway into a world where celestial beings and the human realm converge, igniting curiosity and wonder in the narrative. With a nod to the profound symbology within Chinese culture and the mystical elements that define it, this book transcends a mere adventure story. It's a profound reflection on the virtues that shape the human spirit and our communities - bravery, endurance, and the pursuit of balance. The tale of Ming and the Tianlu Pixiu invites readers to ponder on the mysteries of the past, questioning the boundaries between myth and reality, and the possible existence of such celestial guardians in our own history.
