Chapter 1: I Have Turned Into Bamboo
The moon shone brightly with very few stars in the sky. The night was cool like water from a stream.
Somewhere in the Tang Kingdom, specifics unknown.
Deep in the mountains, wild animals howled, their cries echoing high and low throughout the landscape.
A breeze swept past the mountains and through lush bushes, its leaves and the branches of the trees nearby rustling continuously.
Buried within the forest, in a well-hidden and secretive location, was a thin bamboo. It was shining with a soft, gentle light.
"Did I actually… become a bamboo?"
His voice, which sounded like he was still in a dream, mingled with the rustling sounds of the bamboo leaves that were blowing in the wind. Quickly, the sound disappeared.
Lin Ming woke up from a dream, only to find himself reborn.
He had turned into bamboo.
