Da Xia, Western Region · At the foot of Helan Mountain.
Within Ningyin City, constructed by humans, stands an ancient divine city — Xiao Yue City.
The ancient city venerates a beast deity, and the incense has always been abundant, with an endless stream of pilgrims and tourists coming to admire the deity's presence.
This was the situation before.
Since last month, things have changed.
Now in the late October, only shortly after the city's lockdown was lifted, the inside and outside of the ancient city are already overcrowded, with an astonishing number of visitors.
Outside the city, there are long queues of people wanting to enter, likely needing to line up for days and nights.
At this moment, above the city gate of the inner city, a slightly plump young man dressed in tidy and spirited black clothes is looking down at the bustling scenes on the streets and alleys of the outer city.
If Lu Ran were here, he would definitely recognize this high school classmate — Gao Zhonglin!
