My name is Yan Anbai. I cultivated the Dao on the Nine Heavens' Cold Mountain, ascended to immortality thousands of years ago, and slept in dreams. I could be called half a god in this world. But one day, the Heavenly Dao woke me and said that the world held the one opportunity meant for me.
At the summit of Cold Mountain, I glimpsed Heaven's secrets through the vastness and saw only four lines:
"When the moon rises from the pond, the Terrace in the Sky joins Siming.
When the day of true love comes, the first note will ring."
Still, I descended the mountain, hoping to find the bond that awaited me in the mortal world.
I crossed mountains and rivers, witnessed seas change into mulberry fields, and ventured through the human world.
I made the human sect leader my honored one, recognized the demon world's evil sovereign as my enemy, befriended a young man from the demon realm, and took a glutinous rice ball as my disciple.
I understood most of the verse, and only the final step remained.
But...
What I never could have imagined,
what I could never have imagined no matter how hard I tried,
was that the word "day" in the last line... was a verb. (Lighting incense.jpg)
"You have immortal bones, untouched by heat or cold. Though a thousand years pass before we meet again, it will feel like but a morning or evening."
Su Shi
I will dye you in my colors, leave my scent on you, and bind you up so you belong to me alone.
