Chapter 53: Formatting
It was when I was heading back to Jinrang Valley near Luoyang to meet Mang-ryang. At a distance still a week’s journey away from Jinrang Valley, I noticed a massive dark cloud rolling in unexpectedly.
‘What is that? A rain cloud?’
Thanks to my excellent eyesight, I spotted it, and it indeed was a huge cloud. At a glance, it was a vast rain cloud mixed with thunderclouds, likely to reach where I was standing within an hour or so. It was filled with an immense amount of water vapor, and entering that area would probably lead to a downpour.

A middle-aged man who had been resting under a tree from his farming chuckled. However, before he could make more idle talk, a strong humidity hit our noses. People began to notice the black clouds gathering from afar, one by one.
