Cave World

About Dongjie Yang Yu (Chief Shitong) later said something to me, which I think can be put here as an instruction manual. He said: "This is how you understand the Dongjie - our world is the front, and the Dongjie is the back. If you are walking in the front, eating, eating, and drinking, there may be a group of monsters having a meeting in the back. The Shidong is the ten doors between the front and the back. If the door is open, you can visit from both sides. With the door closed, everyone can go their own way." I asked: "Is the door open or closed now?" He said: "It's open. Not only is it open, there are people breaking in." I asked: "Who?" He glanced at me and said nothing. Later I found out that he didn't tell me because he was afraid of scaring me. ——Zhang Tiao, Chapter 1 of "Memoirs of Master Maoshan" The cave world is a mysterious dimension hidden behind the real world. It is a parallel space condensed by the millennia-old beliefs of the Miao and Dong people. The core of the cave world is the "Shidong" - ten mysterious tribes established by the legendary ancient Dong ancestors, each of which masters an ultimate secret technique. By uniting the ten caves into one, one can control the cycle of life and death and reverse the cause and effect of time and space.
