Since Pangu separated Heaven and Earth, the Tong clan has possessed supernatural gifts and has always been relied upon by the imperial court.
That changed at the end of the Qin dynasty. Yin Zhong, a traitor whose heart had gone astray, was exiled by his clan. In his fury, he incited the emperor to wipe out the Tong clan. Fortunately, General Long Teng gave his life to save them, allowing the clan to flee into the mountains. The clan leader reflected that life was like a dream, and that once worldly splendor passed, all that remained was an illusion. He therefore named their refuge Water-Moon Cave Heaven and decreed that the Tong clan must never leave the mountains again!
The Tong clan's treasure, the Spirit Mirror, was sealed by the blood of General Long Teng as he lay dying. It turned to stone and vanished. The traitor Yin Zhong was wounded by the Spirit Mirror, leaving him with a fissure that could never heal and forcing him to endure its torment at all times!
