In the second quarter of the Shen hour. The afternoon sunlight poured down, shining through the gaps in the trees. A gentle mountain breeze passed by, causing the light spots on the ground to sway lightly. The rustling sound of leaves echoed softly. Inside the stone cave, there was a faint rustling sound. After a moment, clothes were neatly folded, and a piece of paper was placed on top. “Master, the words written on that paper... it is a gift I have for you.” Splash... there was a sound of water…

"Father, you bought me the brush and ink, but what about our donkey?" "Your mother said to buy an old donkey... it’ll have to do." Outside the city, Lu Liangsheng followed his father through the livestock market. Lu Laoshi felt the mouth of a donkey sticking through the bars to check its teeth. This was a mule and donkey market on the outskirts of Fushui County, where most of the animals for sale were inferior horses, donkeys, and mules. Cows were rarely seen because the government had strict…

"Help me..." "Please, someone find a doctor for me... I can't take it anymore, the itching is killing me..." Lu Erlai lay on the ground, tearing at his clothes, revealing the thick patches of pale yellow feathers covering his body. He rolled and screamed in agony, frantically pulling at the feathers, which floated through the air as villagers quickly backed away, terrified of catching whatever affliction he had. "This lazy scoundrel deserves it!" "...the heavens must have intervened, casting a spell to…

It had rained the day before, so the road was muddy. A peddler hurried by with a load on his shoulder and paper pinwheels spun in the breeze. Nearby, a group of forest warriors, known for their rough ways, squatted by the roadside, biting on wheat stalks with sinister grins or silently observing the people entering the town. Their behavior was only slightly restrained when patrol soldiers passed by. Once inside the city, the scene was bustling with activity. The chatter from the teahouses filled the air,…

The rooster crowed loudly. Golden morning light filtered through the gaps in the clouds, spreading across the land and pushing back the blue sky, wrapping the distant mountain foothills in its glow. In the sky, smoke from cooking fires slowly rose, and the mountain village buzzed with lively activity. The spring plowing season had passed, but even during the off-season, there was still work to be done in the fields, such as scaring away birds and pulling out spoiled grain. After breakfast, Liangsheng…

“Lu Liangsheng--” As far as his line of sight reaches, there was only endless blackness. When the old man's voice sounded, it was faintly accompanied by the croaking of frogs. "Mas... Master..." With a slightly panicked tone, Lu Liangsheng looked around. The extending darkness gradually took on the outline of a courtyard. Dim, deep yellow light glowed from the rooms in the nearby courtyard, and there was a rustling, noisy sound. Shadows flitted about, with some figures leaning against the paper…

“Big mountains... there are many jackals and wolves within them, brother, walk carefully. After cutting the firewood and selling it for wine money, place it by Father’s door…” The crisp folk song intermittently echoes through the sea of clouds rising along the mountain's waist. The mountains stretch undulating for dozens of miles, resembling a reclining Buddha, with verdant forests swaying. Birds flying across the sky descend upon an old pine on a solitary peak. The bird ruffles its feathers,…

The five horses galloped swiftly, and before they could rein them in, they had already charged far ahead. Hearing voices behind him, Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly but pretended not to notice. He patted his Sibu Xiang and continued forward. After the five riders managed to pull their steeds to a stop by the roadside, they saw Zhang Xiaohua’s shabby carriage moving along at a leisurely pace, unhurried and calm. Seeing this, they didn’t rush to intercept him. The leader of the group asked: “Jiang…-

Let us speak of Zhang Xiaohua, who sat cross-legged, wholly focused on comprehending his own Dao of Heaven, paying no heed whatsoever to the conversation of the two young women in the nearby room. In truth, even if he were idly sitting in the room, he would not have extended his divine sense to recklessly spy on others, after all, propriety between men and women must be observed. On this principle, Zhang Xiaohua remained steadfast. After some time, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. He…

Zhang Xiaohua thought back for a moment. Fortunately, the map Ji Xiaohua had given him did indeed have this place marked on it. It seemed he really was headed in the same direction, so he nodded and said: “Miss Nie, it’s wonderful that you know the way. As it happens, it’s on my way as well. Allow me to accompany you a bit further.” “Oh, it’s on your way, Big Brother Ren? May I ask where you’re headed?” Nie Qianyu asked excitedly. Little Orange’s eyes sparkled on the side. “Where am…
