Everything was ready, so Levis started reading in somewhat halting Mandarin: "The big river flows eastward, the stars in the sky follow the Big Dipper! Let's go, Whatever you have, I have, everyone has!"
Hong Weiguo's, Liu Yihui's, and Mu Tie's expressions were very strange. The first kowtow!
Levis continued, "Shout if you see something unfair happening, help when you should. Travel the nine states through winds and fire!"
The three men looked at each other and tried to hold back their laughter. The second kowtow!
Levis continued to read, "Heiya, yi, er ya, ai hei, ai hei, yi, er ya!" This sentence was certainly read brokenly and haltingly. Fortunately, he managed to get the rest out coherently. "Shout if you see something unfair happening, help when you should. Traverse the nine states through winds and fire!"
The three did their third kowtow.
