Daoist Xing Yang mentioned four methods to acquire antiques, and evidently, the last one, known as the "low entrance," was the key to Daoist Xing Yang's laughter.
However, Zhan Yun and the others were somewhat puzzled as to why Daoist Xing Yang laughed.
Thus, Zhan Yun inquired, "Daoist, why do you call those people 'low entrance'? What is the significance behind this?"
Daoist Xing Yang, with a twinkle in his eye, said, "Well, there's a story behind this. Over a decade ago, in the capital, there was a handsome young actor named Liang Yishan, who performed in Peking operas…"
Daoist Xing Yang then proceeded to narrate the affairs concerning the 'low entrance' in detail.
Liang Yishan was young and not very skilled in singing, so he wasn't highly valued within his troupe, but he was ambitious and dreamt of making it rich every day.
