In the beginning,
a meteor struck the earth and broke into pieces,
which scattered across the lands.
One of the pieces, which had fallen into the lands of the orient,
had strange inscriptions engraved upon it.
People gained the power of language by observing these inscriptions.
A state religion was established. And people began to gain more knowledge.
Countless arts and teachings erupted as a result of this.
Just how many experts this gave rise to is unknown.
They all dreamed of entering the Mausoleum of Holy Scriptures and
gaining more knowledge from the Holy Scriptures inside.

Ah!
Hah!
Hah...
Ah!
Ah! Eh!
Ah!
(Don't come closer! Go away!)
Nnh...nnh!
(Nnh...don't come any closer!)
Oh! Ah!
Aaahh!!
(Don't come...any closer!)
Ah!!
(Go away! Go away!)
Ah! Nnh!
Ah!
Master!
How dare you disturb the peace...?
Ah!
(Master...)
Heh
Yu Ren, let's go back.
This great golden dragon is extremely ancient, has unimaginable knowledge and wisdom, therefore - it's the most revered life form.
14 Years Later
All in the world deem the beautiful to be beautiful; this notion is ugly.
All deem the good to be good;
this notion is bad.
Master has never taught us cultivation.
We've read all 3000 Texts of the Dao.
Senior,
I'm taking a nap.
Oh. Uh.
This species of firefly
has a fragile mental state.
They cannot stand up to sudden shocks. What a pity if it dies.
Senior, look!
It has a short lifespan,
but it's still bright and colorful.
This kind of life also counts as marvelous, right?
Uh! Hmm?
Oh!
It's here.
Is it a scripture for Master?
Yu Ren, Chang Sheng, come.
I once saved someone's life.
At the time, he promised
when grandchildren are of age,
one of them will marry a Daoist.
Now, the time to fulfill the promise has come.
As I see it, one of you should be chosen to go
and accept this marriage.
What!?
Marriage!?
Mmmhh...
Then, Chang Sheng, starting today, Xu You Rong will be your fiancé.
Master!
Such is fate,
accept it.
Oh.
Hmm? Senior brother, are you wishing me well?
That copy is Chen Chang Sheng's marriage document.
You can bring this back.
Chang Sheng, Yu Ren.
Follow me.
You've read and memorized all the books in this library correct?
Yes, we did.
This is the last scroll of the 3000 Great Texts.
Ah...this...
I can't read this...
What is inscribed here are the mysteries to Heaven and Earth.
There has never been one who could fully comprehend this.
Even Master can't?
No one can say that they have truly understood.
Even I can't.
What shall we do?
But I can read this text.
Sit down.
The first character is read as...
You two, follow me and recite.
The second character is read as...
Such a beautiful sunset.
The crane hasn't brought any letters from the Xu for awhile now, I wonder if old Master Xu is well.
The capital...
what is it like?
Xu You Rong is younger than me by three days.
She's still younger.
Probably a little girl?
Senior brother!
Let's go back!
Hmm.
Nnh, uhh!
Ah!
Nnh, uhh!
Ah!
Whoa! Ah!
WAAAAAHHH!
(Chang Sheng!)
WAAAAHH!
(Chang Sheng! Chang Sheng! Chang Sheng!)
(Chang Sheng!)
(Wake up!)
(Chang Sheng!)
Ah!
I...why can't I move?
Nnh...
(A demon wolf!)
Senior brother, run!
(No.)
(Beast...come!)
(I'm not afraid of you.)
(Go away!)
(Senior!)
(Come on!)
Ah!
Senior!
