    A very large and imposing courtyard nestled in the mountains stood before the gate, guarded by two burly men dressed in blue robes with red sashes around their waists. The two men asked in unison, "Who comes here?" The one leading me replied, "Wei San of the Blue Path, leading the newcomer to pay homage at the mountain gate." "A flower of the Northwest Mysterious Heaven?" I asked. "Jin Ge Rong Lan is one family; though not blood brothers, none have ever separated." "A flower of the Northwest Mysterious Heaven?" I asked. "The Eight Immortals crossing the sea are one family; of the same root, the same lineage, and the same righteousness; the ancestor gathers lotus flowers in a basket." The two men at the gate exchanged a glance, clasped their hands at their left hips, and bowed in unison, saying, "A gesture of respect." The one leading me returned the bow, saying, "We've worked hard side by side." "Please!"... Memories flow like clouds, time flies, but those scenes remain vivid in my mind. "Please offer incense~~" "Today you enter the sect, you must remember the ten rules: First, do not deceive your ancestors; second, do not deceive your fellow disciples; third, do not bully the weak; fourth, do not leak secrets..." ... "Please offer tea!" "Please have some tea, Master. A cup of clear tea in my heart, a red heart in my soul, countless skills in my hands, all thanks to Master's transmission of these arts. Today, I attain the immortal path, the Ancestral Master has manifested his divine power... Rivers, lakes, and seas are filled with thousands of flowers, but a single blue flower remains fresh for ten thousand years!" ... "The apprenticeship ceremony is complete!" "Please bestow upon me a name and instruct me in my skills, Master." ... "The Thousand Gates are divided into upper and lower levels, each with eight generals. The upper eight are: Zheng, Ti, Fan, Tuo, Feng, Huo, Chu, Yao. The lower eight are: Zhuang, Liu, Tian, ​​Feng, Zhong, Ma, Yan, Kun. Do you remember them?" "I remember them!" "The Five Elements are formless, discerning the positions of Heaven and Earth. The Golden Gate opens wide, striding in like a meteor. The Wooden Gate enters in pairs, neither pressing the left nor the right. The Earth Gate gives life, the Wooden Gate brings prosperity. One Earth and one Water travel the world... Today I'll teach you the inner method mantra... Do you remember it?" "I remember!" ... "Junior brother, please pass through the forest of knives!" "Disciple humbly bows to the Ancestral Master, holding the Yin-Yang seal in hand. Ears are ears that can hear the wind, eyes that can see a thousand miles, hands that are hands of a thousand leaves, body that is a Vajra body. Leaping like a swallow, crouching like a Pallas's rabbit, hands chasing fine needles, a total of thirty-eight thousand. Come, come, wind and rain come, what a fine East Wind, the dice go into the dice cup, what a fine West Wind, the supreme is in hand, what a fine South Wind, the cards go smoothly, what a fine North Wind, the throne is within, what a fine Stroke, the Stroke is timely rain, east, west, south, and north are all prosperous!..." "Remember, from today onwards, you are the Southern King of Gamblers. Do not interfere in the affairs of the Northern School. You will each govern your own territory. Unless the sky falls and your entire sect is wiped out, the Southern and Northern Kings of Gamblers must never meet, and the male and female Pixiu must never appear in the world." "Master, what if there is a matter of annihilation?" "The Southern and Northern Kings of Gamblers must join forces to fight the enemy. The male and female Pixiu, when united, can command all the Blue Path brothers in the world. All thirty-six hall masters from the Northern and Southern schools must simultaneously open their halls, recruit talents, and gather forces to jointly resist the external enemy. Do you understand?" "Yes, Master!" ... Memories, like shooting stars in the night sky, flash across the heavens, leaving a faint trace. Those blurry and hazy fragments of memory seem to gradually drift away in the long river of time, elusive and hard to grasp. Sometimes they are clearly visible, sometimes they become indistinct, like viewing flowers through fog, giving a mysterious and enchanting feeling. ...
