Gazing at the hanging corpse, Lu Liangsheng could no longer hold on. Supporting himself with the Veiled Moon Sword, he half-knelt to the ground. In his half-conscious state, he felt the old donkey stretch out its tongue to lick his face, then nudged him with its snout, snorting twice. Not far away, the Toad Daoist came bounding over with labored breaths, his webbed feet flapping as he ran. Hong Lian flew ahead, arriving first. "Young Master!" "Liangsheng!" The Toad Daoist extended a webbed limb to feel…

Dust swept through the air. The lantern beneath the eaves burst open, flames licking out and devouring the roof tiles. Amid the swirling haze, a crack had split open along the courtyard wall. Toad Daoist squeezed himself into the gap, his two stubby legs kicking furiously on the outside before finally managing to wedge himself through. Huff... Panting heavily, he looked toward the swirling smoke and dust, then turned his toad face and called to the little ghost girl who had slipped through the…

"Young Master!" Nie Honglian passed through the wooden steps. Outside the pavilion, under the eaves, lanterns swayed gently, casting a dim glow. In the darkness, the crouched figure carved out the silhouette of a fox shadow upon the wall. Ooo~ A mournful fox cry rang out. Its emerald eyes gleamed faintly, trailing a ghostly green light as they shifted, gazing toward the broken lattice window. Footsteps and the sound of wind closed in. The scholar curled his lips slightly, revealing sharp fangs, and a…

Dong, dong... The bell’s sound was deep and resonant, powerful yet lingering. Its echo rolled across the mountain ranges, reverberating for a long time without dispersing. Bathed in this morning bell, crowds of incense-bearing devotees, each harboring their own thoughts—be they of joy or sorrow—walked back and forth along the mountain paths paved with green stone slabs. Nearby, villagers from the surrounding markets rested at pavilions at the foot and halfway up the mountain. They set up stalls and…

The setting sun was like the tide, dyeing the western foothills crimson. The bamboo grove swayed gently in the evening breeze, rustling softly. Lu Liangsheng tidied up the dinner pots and bowls, tied them onto the old donkey’s back, then took out a painting stand and set it up. Spreading out a blank scroll, he gazed toward the distant foothills bathed in the fading sunlight. “When the chaos begins, we take the item…” The Toad Daoist stretched lazily, having recovered some strength. He slowly…

After the youth shouted, the room fell into silence. The oil lamp on the round table flickered slightly. His clenched fists tightened even more as he anxiously watched Mr. Lu’s back. A breeze drifted in through the door, causing the lamplight to sway. Lu Liangsheng turned around with a smile, his voice clear and composed. “The way of the sword isn’t what I’m best at. Are you sure you want to learn it?” Seeing the youth’s excitement and nervousness, he stepped forward and gently placed a hand…

Dust motes danced in the morning light. For a brief moment, following the fall of that man’s voice, the inn grew so quiet that one could clearly hear the puff-puff sounds of cooking still coming from the kitchen. Lu Liangsheng set down his water bowl, turned his face slightly, and looked toward the man, spreading his sleeves and cupping his fists in greeting. “Haha… then I, Lu, thank this brother for the wine.” “To meet by chance in a humble countryside tavern…” The man also lifted his…

Morning light rose to the heights of the clouds. A young boy stepped off the hillside, kicking a stone away as he went. Glancing toward the distant grass thickets, he lifted his chin with pride and chuckled to himself. “When one sees injustice on the road, one draws their blade to aid the weak. Such is the duty of those who walk the Jianghu.” “Aren’t you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself?” Lu Liangsheng gestured for him to come closer. He rather liked this boy’s cleverness. Though the…

The clamor of the city faded into the wind. Amid the woods and wilds, branches and leaves rustled and swayed chaotically as a dark shadow darted through with a sudden swish. Moments later, it halted in an open clearing. “Ah-hmph, ah-hmph…” The donkey snorted heavily, and with that sound, a human figure atop its head was flung high into the air, then slammed to the ground with a thud, rolling through a scatter of fallen leaves. Lu Liangsheng looked at the unconscious cultivator from the…

The sky was a deep azure, and in the east, a sliver of golden light gradually emerged, piercing through the gaps between clouds. The golden morning rays swept swiftly across mountain ridges and forested wilds, wrapping the small village in their embrace. The patter of rain had ceased. Collected droplets fell from the eaves with soft plops, landing on the ground below. A warm light squeezed through the slightly opened window lattice, spilling across a bed. Hoo… hoo… A young boy lay drooling at the…
