Outside the Flowing Sand River.
In front of the wooden hut Yang Jian himself had built, he was dressed entirely like a villager, with an axe on his back, a bow and arrows, and hunted game in hand, while a black Chinese rural dog lay beside him.
A man approached the door—he was spirited, clad in black battle armor, with a crown that pointed to the heavens, much like Lü Bu—the Chief Deity of Taisui Department, Yin Jiao.
Yin Jiao arrived at the wooden hut. Behind him was the vast expanse of the Flowing Sand River, with the breeze blowing as if near the sea.
Yet this place was peculiar; aside from Yang Jian's wooden hut, the entire riverbank for a hundred miles was desolate mountains and wilderness, empty of human life.
Upon Yin Jiao's arrival, the Roaring Sky Dog stood up and bared its teeth at him.
Yin Jiao chuckled. "Roaring Sky Dog, I am a real person, don't bite me."
