Chapter 64 - 53 Den
Why say that Puppet Manipulation Skill and Silk Shadow Puppetry have commonalities? These matters are deeply connected to the Incense Master of the Celestial Heart Sect’s Linhe Sub-Temple, Qin Dengming.
Xu Qing found in Qin Dengming’s history that when he was young, he was originally a shadow puppet master, traveling far and wide with his master from a young age, perfecting his shadow puppetry skills.
Back then, Sect Leader Qin was not called Qin Dengming, but had a nickname, called Qin the Skinner, and later everyone called him the Little Tannery Craftsman.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Qin Xiaopi and his master came to Jiangning Prefecture, which was a prosperous place, located within the Jade Palace Peaceful Soil of Jiangnan. Other famous places included Dreamland Qiantang; Shui Mansion Ancient Building; and Rich White Poplar...
These were all top bustling areas.
Qin Xiaopi and his master had never seen a place this affluent!
They set up their shadow puppet stage, and before they finished a single performance, the tips and rewards from the audience could fill a cloth bag!
"Xiaopi, we’ve got to work hard these days. Once we save enough money, we’ll get you a property, and it will be our foothold."
"Got it!"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaopi felt a surge of energy, thinking the future days looked increasingly hopeful.
