Immortals, gods, demons, kings, generals, and ministers; a dragon maiden holds a lamp, and a cup holds the sea. Wild foxes meditate, fierce tigers attain enlightenment; they roam the North Sea in the morning, and travel to Cangwu in the evening. Immortals and gods exist in the world, while demons and monsters establish their kingdoms. These things originally had absolutely nothing to do with Qi Wuhuo. Qi Wuhuo, who always saw square characters in his dreams, was only thinking about being able to participate in the spring examination the following year. While he was making millet porridge, an old man gave him a jade pillow, which gave him a long dream. A fleeting dream. Awakening from the dream of wealth and power, his worldly desires were shattered, and from then on, the door to spiritual cultivation was opened wide. The golden crow flies, the jade rabbit runs. A single grain of millet in the Three Realms, a few years of dust in the mountains and rivers. I idly walk through the bustling city with my sword. No one knows I am a true immortal.
