The ruler ordered the burning of the books of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
At the command, Fang hurriedly cleared every kind of book and scroll from the house and piled them in the courtyard like a small hill. He was terrified that even a stray word might be missed and bring down a death sentence.
He lowered his head with a sigh. Just as he was striking a flint, a bamboo manuscript tumbled down from the mountaintop.
The first three characters on the manuscript read "Record of Ascension." It landed and unfurled by itself.
Fang picked it up and read:
"I have a question: How does one become an immortal?"
The answer: "I have long heard that there is an immortal mountain between Heaven and Earth, called Nan. In the mountains of Nan lies a muddy pool called Qi. Its waves rise and swell, its foam gleams gold. Toss in a stone to test its depth, but none can tell how deep it is. Offer flesh and blood as a sacrifice, and it will return a black vessel. Pick it up, and you may ascend to immortality. Your body will endure forever, never to die, and you will enjoy a carefree life of pleasure for all eternity."
Clutching the manuscript, Fang tossed and turned all night. At last, he left the capital and set out to find the immortal mountain and vessel pool described in its pages...

The wonderful description of the scene gave the author a lot of trouble ~
"Chen" is a big thorn in the side of the author~ Cheng
By the way, are the new disciples not surprised to have a master uncle with them?
It feels so awesome. Wait for me to continue watching and savor it.
The writing is so interesting and natural. I was stunned for a moment at the beginning of the second chapter. It was so unexpected. This teahouse conversation can also make people interested in the major events of Nanshan, the way to enter the mountain and the follow-up.
Damn, is this article mainly offensive or passive?
