   Longhu Mountain is located 20 kilometers southwest of Luling County. Legend has it that the Taoist master Zhang Daoling once refined elixirs here, and when the elixir was completed, dragons and tigers appeared, hence the mountain's name. However, Longhu Mountain is truly famous for its Celestial Master's Mansion, where successive generations of the mansion have dedicated themselves to subduing demons and monsters, earning praise for their lack of seeking fame. During the Great Heat season, Longhu Mountain is unusually serene and cool. Along the mountain path, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, dressed in a blue Taoist robe and wearing a Taoist hat with a Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol, is making his way up the stone steps. Up close, his face is rosy and adorable; his fellow disciples on the mountain especially adore his features, poking it like a freshly baked bun sinking in. He is their mascot; within the Celestial Master's Mansion, he is the only one exempt from meditation, cultivation, and demon-catching. But as he grows older, he also bears responsibilities.

"Hmm, that's right, that's my good disciple." Sword? The sword is just for show, and people? No one is a good person anyway. What is good? What is evil? It's just a constraint people impose on themselves. What benefits them is good, what doesn't is evil, what benefits the world is great good, what harms the world is great evil.
