The Sound of Distant Bells Is Heard on the Other Shore

The Kunlun Mountains stand on the earth of the human world, and the mountains reach the sky. Although there are no four seasons, the cold winds rage all year round and the glaciers never melt. Apart from the vast expanse of snow, all that could be seen was ice reflecting the starlight in the sky. Si Cheng once told me that to the east of Kunlun is Huaijiang Mountain, where the colorful jade is dazzling. To the west is the Leisure Mountain, where the fish grown in the stream are the most delicious. The south is a vast forest, where the birds and animals are extremely docile. The north is the abyss of the extreme. Even if a god enters this place, his body and shape will be destroyed. But he didn't know that when he really stood on the top of Kunlun, he could see nothing except the stars above his head and the white sky below his feet.
