During one night, the winter winds howled outside. The three of them were crammed inside the smaller room, warming up by the old furnace. Xiao XingChen was mending a basket that had a broken strip of bamboo. A-Qing was draped in the only cotton quilt. Wrapping herself as though she was a zongzi, she sat by his shoulder. Xue Yang held his chin with one hand and had nothing to do. Listening to A-Qing pester Xiao XingChen about telling her a story, he was rather annoyed, “Stop being so noisy. I’ll tie your tongue into a knot if you keep on yapping.”
"If I'm the one he was saying that to, I would have cower in fear already." said a female cultivator.
"Did Xiao Xingchen didn't even get suspicious on how he talk? A normal person will not say such thing." said Nie Huaisang.
"It's very normal." said Wei Wuxian.
A-Qing didn’t listen to him at all and demanded, “Daozhang, I wanna hear a story!”
Xiao XingChen, “When I was young, nobody told me stories. How would I know how to tell one?”
A-Qing continued the tantrum, and was about to start rolling on the ground when Xiao XingChen finally agreed, “Alright. I’ll tell you a story that happened on a mountain.”
"Oh, is that what I think it is?" asked Wei Wuxian.
"Who knows, no one knows what you're thinking inside that brain of yours." said Jiang Cheng.
A-Qing, “Once upon a time there was a mountain and on the mountain there was a temple?”
Xiao XingChen, “No. Once upon a time, there was a celestial mountain that nobody knew of. On the mountain, there was an Immortal who reached enlightenment. The Immortal accepted a lot of disciples, but she didn’t let them leave the mountain.”
After hearing the beginning, Wei WuXian understood at once, She’s BaoShan SanRen.
"Oh, he's going to tell about his master. I wonder what life they have there." said Nie Huaisang.
"If she didn't let them leave the mountain then why did they still leave?" asked Jin Zixuan.
"Maybe that's the reason why none of them stayed alive." said Jin Guangshan.
A-Qing, “Why not?”
Xiao XingChen, “The Immortal only hid in the mountain because she couldn’t understand the world outside it. She told her disciples, ‘If you are going to leave the mountain, then there’s no need for you to come back. Don’t bring the disputes of the outside world into the mountain.’”
A-Qing, “Then how can you withstand the boredom? There’d definitely be disciples who want to go outside and play.”
"So they didn't came back to her for help except him." said Meng Yao.
"I wonder what happened to the others." said MianMian.
Xiao XingChen, “You’re right. The first disciple who left was very outstanding. When he first left the mountain, due to his mastery over his skills, everyone praised and admired him, and he became a famous cultivator of the righteous path. But afterwards, people don’t know what he went through, but his personality changed drastically, and he suddenly became a villain who killed people without blinking twice. In the end, he died under thousands of swords.”
This was the first disciple of BaoShan SanRen who “didn’t die a peaceful death”—YanLing DaoRen.
"Why? What really happened to him?" asked Jin Zixuan.
