The thing I regret most in my life is that I found that copper coin among my grandfather's belongings. It looks strange. There are no words on it, only a pattern that looks like a snake and a dragon.

Master Jiu pushed a cup of hot tea in front of me. His hand was very steady and the tea did not move at all. "Learn how to survive in the land of the dead." I said, I will learn. Since then, my life has completely derailed...
