Duang——
A deep and muffled bell chime resonates outside the West Gate of Shuipang County.
A couple hastily makes their way up the green mountain, the man young and handsome, the woman pregnant, with their attire indicating a not insignificant origin.
Gazing up from their vantage point, they see a temple radiating golden light almost within reach, a look of excitement on both faces. According to Lord County Magistrate, there resides in Longevity Temple a high monk who has attained the Way, who specializes in resolving the suffering of the common folk.
Moreover, this high monk, having devoted many years to Buddhist practice at Vajra Temple, happened upon this place and saw Longevity Temple in long disrepair. Thus, he took the initiative to lead his disciples in renovating the temple and settled down here.
