It was a direction Tang Wen had never been.
At the end of the path was a simple stone house.
"Elder Zhang, you live here?" Tang Wen didn't hide the surprise in his voice. "Your home is a bit too simple, isn't it?"
A table, chairs, a wooden bed, three oil lamps, and two chests.

Tang Wen: ...'Another hit to the ego.'

Elder Zhang pointed casually. "Open that chest. Take out the beast skin scroll inside."
Tang Wen hurried forward and, following his instructions, took out the scroll. As soon as it was in his hands, the beast skin scroll trembled slightly, as if it were alive.
"What is this?"
