Under a tall bodhi tree in a garden outside the city of Liangzhu, King Bai Shan and a monk sat opposite each other. The monk wore a jade-color robe, his face handsome and his demeanor elegant and graceful. The tree was surrounded by countless visible and invisible traps, and many fearless warriors raised by King Bai Shan were hiding in the dark to make sure no one could get in here easily.

Meanwhile, the monk with a cleanly shaved scalp was smiling and fiddling with a scroll woven from silver-white silk placed in front of him. The scroll was a map of twinkling lights and shadows, marked with a row of words: 'The Duty Roster of Great Yu's Garrison in Outer Heavenly Realms of West Region'. None of the two spoke.
