Chaos reigns in all directions, the nation on the brink of ruin.

The people wail in the fields, while demons in robes and crowns occupy the halls of power.

A young scholar, just come of age—where should he go, what should he do?

He rises with his sword to slay ghosts and fiends, sits quietly with his brush to write essays.

With the world in his grasp, he cuts down evil and preserves righteousness—

A single rendition of “Song of Righteousness” stirs the vast heavens with awe.
