Adventures at Xi'an
Week 1 / 1 First day of the New Year (Year of the Rat)
The god Techo-Buja declares his blood feud with us. Oops, I should have wiped him out fully the first time. We celebrate for 3 days. Then intend to set off, with the silk merchants, to Xi'an. More of the warrior priests with tattoos show up on day 3, 20 or so proceed to attack us for breaking their religious artifact a long time ago! When they have been stopped a Taoist priest called Tsu Tsi asks to join as a tutor and fellow of the party. He seems to be a reasonable person. We sleep!
Week 1 / 4 (Year of the Rat)
he merchants are already loading the boat when we arrive. It's covered in silk but it most certainly isn't all silk! Lee Ho take a tutor in Xi'anese by the name of Shang Pijin-ker.
Flower Goddess reports that the trial of Uhura is now on! Appear as a flower on the ship. We must get to heaven quickly. Uhura says that (Kami of Lacewing butterfly) claims that his species was wiped out in a moments inattention by Uhura. We are to find a living Lacewing to disprove this and then get to Heaven. Lee Ho dedicates a book and revenue to the flower Kami. Lee Ho Meditates and learns that the insect has long legs, and is call a Lacewing.
The party continue there journey.

Landfall at Woo Han. Met blind Taoist Abbot Gita (lowcast) he is coming with us.
Week 2 / 5 (Year of the Rat)
Arrive at Xi'an?
Xi'an city walls are 5 miles on a side, 40 yards high, and very thick. The Yangtze is diverted so that it forms a moat around the 6 mile x 6 mile city. Docks are very very large!
Instruct Yamabushi to look for Lacewings. Blind Abbot makes some prophecies and then declare that Krappi is bloodstained and must wash at the source of the Yangtze. He then speaks a poem which we record, in brief.
A blackbird flies from cage
duck sits on icy pond
hawk attacks dove, hawk loses feathers
old cock rests on drum
eagle and hawk fight over rice
robin sings as winter starts
winter peak robin leaves
We land at the port. Pijin-ker takes us to to a nearby coffee shop. We discover sugar! To go with the coffee. We find the Yeeuch Temple is in the North East corner of the Winter Palace. Lee Ho buys a umbrella for Mi-Lan and hankie for Krappi. See ?Molsers? for the first time.
