Currently, transportation isn't very convenient, and the transmission of information is inevitably delayed. In such an environment, a good storyteller cannot stay in one place. He must travel far and wide, visiting various districts to gather tales and historic anecdotes. Only through extensive travel can he broaden his knowledge and accumulate a wealth of stories.
Guo Dongyang is already in his fifties. He is constantly on the move, much like a diligent little bee, collecting various unusual and interesting stories from different places, which has honed his storytelling skills to perfection.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be hard to keep up with Guo Dongyang's conversation. Even well-read scholars might not have such a rich array of experiences as he does.
Fortunately, Xu Qing is no ordinary person. He can speak casually about anything from ancient history to modern science.
The two of them chatted about everything under the sun as they traveled.
