Huanglong Prefecture bordered the Three Prefectures of Lingzhou. Besides Qingyang Prefecture, which Bai Yuan had visited before, there were also Bright Moon Mansion and Wuding Prefecture.
The border between Huanglong Prefecture and Bright Moon Mansion was a great river a hundred meters wide.
On both sides of the river were towering, forested mountains.
The river was named Qingshui River, so-called for its clear water.
But there were no boats or fishermen on the river. The Qingshui River's current was swift and hid many undercurrents, so even the most skilled swimmers and fishermen had to be extremely careful.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the center of the Qingshui River.
A young man emerged from the water, holding a great fish as tall as a person.
If any of the local fishermen had seen this, they would have paled in terror.
For this great fish was the very River God they had worshiped for generations.
