Narration

The full-cast narration for this chapter unlocks with the book.

At Level-Top Mountain a guardian spirit came down the road disguised as an old woodcutter, expressly to frighten the pilgrims, and succeeded.

Two demons ahead, he told , when they were apart from the others. Brothers. Gold Horn and Silver Horn. And they are not the marten-playing-warlord kind. They have five treasures out of the high storehouses of Heaven, and they are waiting for your master specifically, by name, with a portrait. This one you had better take seriously.
