A Beautiful Daoist in Robes, Old Acquaintances Reunited, Flower Thief Fiends-Leave None Alive
Countless Buddhist temples dotted the Western Regions, and they believed that reincarnation existed in the world. The Northern Heaven Region had the Reincarnation Esoteric Sect, which bitterly sought the whereabouts of the netherworld... Theories about the netherworld emerged one after another, yet no conclusion had ever been reached.
When Zhang Zhisong wrote his book, he was only a little over thirty. His certainty that the netherworld existed was well worth examining. Li Xian read with great relish. After leaving Huai'an County, he found a river vein and gazed into the distance.
He wished to draw on the experience recorded in the book: read the river, understand the river, knead the river... and see the river's course, the various conditions within it, and more. Li Xian's comprehension was already high, and the principles in the Pulse-Kneading Hand progressed from shallow to deep. He quickly grasped the principles in the first half.
This river was called the "Ten-Thousand Households River." It flooded in the seventh and eighth months, and ran dry in the third and fourth months. Its course first headed south. After traveling seven or eight hundred li, the channel suddenly made a sharp turn and changed course eastward. Three tributaries ran along its route. One tributary flowed inland and ended there.
Other tributaries poured into underground rivers and merged with other river systems.
Based on River Reading and River Understanding... Li Xian discerned the general outline. Seeing that it was still early, he walked along the river, verifying the guesses in his heart one by one. Though the information he read might not have been entirely correct or complete, it truly had marvelous uses.

Li Xian was deeply delighted. He
