Watching chess games, Kehan is inept, Only a frail boat breaking through the waves, Wild hair flowing in the wind, Slowly walking by the cloud's edge and valley's mouth, On the lofty autumn path, Resting on pine roots under the moon, Awakening only when dawn arrives. Foes surrounding like a forest, People of the world all wish to kill, I follow the path of the heart, Unskilled in schemes and calculations, Without honor or disgrace, Tranquility in life, freely roaming, Wherever I meet, it's either immortality or the Dao, Silently sitting, discussing the Yellow Court. The Dao of the Yellow Court stands, One path merging into the future restores hope, One path returning to the past solidifies longing, Then there's one path roaring into the present like sword qi, With just a breath, it becomes the Milky Way. --------------
