"The Emperor may not be aware, but this humble servant had a day with nothing to do and cast a divination, and oh dear! It frightened this humble servant out of his wits, I couldn't even care for the beautiful scenery any longer. I hurried back, riding day and night on a swift horse, to report this matter to the Emperor," Celestial Master Zhang was also a picture of urgency.
"Great Master, what's so alarming?" The Emperor was puzzled. Celestial Master Zhang is a sage who rarely shows his emotions. Why would a divination scare him to such an extent?
"Has the Emperor ever heard of the Thousand Year Striped Tiger?"
"The Thousand Year Striped Tiger?"
"Yes, the very same Thousand Year Striped Tiger."
The Emperor stroked his chin and pondered for a while, "Before The Late Emperor passed away, I heard him mention it, but The Late Emperor himself had never seen it. He said that these were just legends. Heavenly Master, how can we take such baseless things seriously?"
