At the foot of Mount Zhong, a village gathered. Everyone there bore the surname Chen, no one exempted. The Chen Village stayed at the foot of the mountain for so long, that nobody even the eldest among them could remember. That person who lived over a thousand years old, was the Honourable Witch.
It can be inferred upon that innumerable joys and sorrows had been experienced by a person who had lived for over a thousand, witnessing dynasties after dynasties being replaced. But for this small village, a thousand years was no different from one year. Not a lot of people left the village, neither were there people coming in, because the Ruoshui River that separated Mount Zhong from the outside world was difficult to cross. Only the Mountain God who resided in the temple atop the mountain could bring them out.
