The Secluded Sky and Sea

In ancient times, the aura of heaven and earth still existed, and the mountains, rivers, vegetation, and trees all had spirituality. Deep in the Buxian Mountains, the clouds and mist persist all year round, and the peaks and mountains are hidden in the vast whiteness. There is an ancient cave hidden in the heart of the mountain. The stone wall is as smooth as a mirror. I don't know who carved it. The ceiling of the cave hangs high, and is covered with runes that no one can recognize. The erosion of the years has not changed its shape. This is a forbidden area, no birds can pass by, no beasts come, only the sound of wind echoes lowly in the gaps between the rocks. The stone platform lies in the center of the cave. It is gray-white and as cold and hard as iron. Young Lin Wu was lying on his back. He was thirteen years old, thin and frail. His clothes were simple, the fabric was rough and the edges were frayed. His eyes were closed tightly, and his breathing was slow and long, as if he had been sleeping for a long time. A faint silver light glowed all over the body, like dust stars, swimming against the skin, never dissipating or extinguishing. The light was silent, but it faintly echoed the runes in the cave.
