Hidden Spirit

“Three thousand years ago, I met an old tortoise who called himself the Great Emperor Xuanwu. He gave me a pearl and a sword. I knew his appearance was someone’s way of reminding me not to forget... What happened later? Later, I hid away many things. They came to be known as spirits. Because of these spirits, I called myself the Great Dao and turned the Celestial Court upside down; I called myself the sun and moon and replaced the heavens.”, Bai Yu.
