The Hour of Chen had not yet passed, and it was the time when martial artists began their entrance into training, starting to temper their bodies. Amidst the sound of the wind, one could hear the faint whooshing of fists slicing through the air as they practiced.
A gray donkey had leisurely made its way up the back path of the mountain.
On the donkey's back were two Taoists, one of whom was older. Although handsome, his face was filled with laziness.
With half-closed eyes, the Taoist on the donkey's back swayed back and forth as the donkey climbed, as if at any moment he might tumble off and roll down the steps.
But no matter how fiercely he swayed, he never fell off, simply making onlookers anxious, almost wishing they could push him so he would just roll down quickly rather than continue to sway and irritate them.
