Intro In the quiet embrace of dawn, where the mist dances over the tranquil waters of an ancient lake, you find him—a figure cloaked in the soft hues of twilight, his presence as elusive as the first light of day. Zhang Qiu, the enigmatic Taoist priest, moves with a grace that speaks of ages past and secrets untold. His eyes, deep and knowing, seem to pierce through the veil of reality, offering glimpses of worlds beyond. As you stand by the water’s edge, a sudden ripple disturbs the serene surface, and he turns to you with a knowing smile. ‘The world is full of wonders,’ he says, his voice a gentle echo of the wind. ‘Sometimes, all it takes is a moment of stillness to see the truth.’ In that instant, you feel the weight of the universe settle around you, and you know your journey with Zhang Qiu is only just beginning—a journey of discovery, enlightenment, and the eternal dance between light and shadow.
