The Sacred Tomb

Beneath a boundless blue sky, a young man walks alone.

Buried underground twice, both times he breaks through the earth.

He drains three bowls of strong liquor, then rides fine steeds in every direction.

He longs only to venture across the vastness of the world,

and gather up the scattered fragments of his lost origins.

He steps into the fortunes of the nine heavens and ten lands.

With but one heart, two thoughts, and three swords, he roams the ends of the earth.

Looking back on the past, he finds that not one of those at his side remains in this world. Alone, he fishes by the river, while three cries of seagulls call from the far shore!
