[1046, seventh year of Qingli, Northern Song] [Dongjing] [Heavy snow fell, the imperial star wavered, the Yellow River changed course, and the people wailed] [Please complete the quest: Menzang E'pang's secret] [Menzang E'pang's secret] [Act one: Journey to Western Xia] [Accept the quest and reach Western Xia] [Remaining vitality: 1] [Transition quest: No penalty for failure]

His last encounter with "Lin Youzhi" had been during the Tiansheng era. Now it was Qingli, meaning nearly twenty years had passed since he last occupied Lin Youzhi's body.
