Su Chen and Ah Nu, accompanied by the White Lotus thugs, arrived at the foot of the mountain, at a secluded corner, where they found the home of the Wu woodcutter. They saw that in this wooden hut lived a kindly old woman, nearly a century old, her face etched with wrinkles, who was preparing the morning meal on the stove outside the house.

The river flowed endlessly, shrouded in a heavy mist. The small boat glided along the river, still days away from the sprawling mountains in the distance.

On the small peak within Spirit Mountain, his Azure Lotus spirit remained unchanged, rooted and growing, though the lotus leaf had grown a mere tenth larger…

Dawn arrived gray and misty, with a gentle rain falling like a thin veil, obscuring the Vastest Lake. The water rippled, and clumps of reeds swayed with the current. In the distance, a few fishing boats were at work, the expanse of the lake empty and desolate. Today was Ah Chou’s seventh day of passing. Su Chen brought paper money and a lavish spread of water, wine, and delicacies. He arrived at Cave Mountain Island, and on the earthen slope by the lake, prepared to burn paper…

The Second Master Zhang, along with a group of over a dozen constables, swaggered into the countryside. The county constables had been exceptionally busy recently. In the previous two months, the pirates of the Whale Gang had rebelled and wreaked havoc, creating a significant disturbance. The pirates were ferocious and showed no fear of the authorities, so the constables remained within the county seat, too afraid to venture out and collect taxes. With the New Year fast approaching, the tax…

Outside Gusu City, at the west gate pier, he let the river take his raft, drifting along with the rippling waters of the Su River. Both banks were lined with verdant mountains and picturesque scenery, the fields desolate. After traveling approximately thirty miles, he arrived at Zhou Village. On the raft, there were several new bolts of cloth he’d cut from a shop in Gusu City, along with some shoes. Having just passed the Laba Festival, the new year would soon arrive, affording him the…
