1.17

The Master spoke again: 'In various quarters they cook dragon liver and phoenix marrow; here it is desolate, with nothing to offer. In the deep mountains and cliff crags where human tracks do not reach, I picked up a thing and tossed it into the armor of nothing-to-do for many years. Tonight, I bring it out completely to share the New Year with you all.' Striking the staff once: 'Take special care not to swallow it whole.'
