Late at night.
In the southwestern part of Jianghai Province, deep within Wolong Mountain, lies an isolated peak neither too large nor too small.
Halfway up the peak, there are three simple thatched huts, and beside the hut on the far right grows a thick old pagoda tree.
At this moment, beneath the old pagoda tree, an elder clad in coarse hemp clothing, with white hair and beard, lay fast asleep in a recliner.
Swoosh!
A gentle mountain breeze swept across, causing the sleeping elder's beard to flutter with the wind. His brows twitched gently, then settled back into calmness.
It seems this sudden mountain breeze did not interrupt his peaceful slumber!
But in the next moment, his eyelids suddenly snapped open, emitting two sharp beams of light as he stared directly at the starry night sky above.
After focusing for a while, the elder's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if there was something he couldn't quite comprehend.
