Chapter 401: The Ghost City is Completed, and the Divine Takes Their Place
The stone slabs floated in midair, forming a spiraling staircase.
The monk stood halfway up the mountain, gazing at the full moon, silent for a long time.
Only after a while did he lower his head and continue his ascent.
The Daoist, clad in his worn robes, remained seated at the center of the high platform, meditating. Behind him, the maidservant sat obediently, while a calico cat played with a tricolored cloth ball on the platform. The cat paid no attention to either the Daoist or the monk. At most, she glanced at the monk as he climbed up, but then promptly returned to her task.
One paw batted the ball, the other tried to block it. Despite being just a cat, she seemed extremely busy.
Suddenly, her left paw lost to her right, and the ball accidentally rolled to the edge of the platform. Unable to stop it in time, it fell off the edge.
“Swish!”
The cat bolted to the edge of the platform, crouching to peer over at the falling ball.
The stone pillar was several dozen zhang high.
The cat froze for a moment, watching helplessly as the ball tumbled down. After observing where it landed, she spun around and darted off to retrieve it.
Meanwhile, the monk sat down before the Daoist once again.
