Chapter 13: What the Beasts Know
"Not her," said Lei Juehan again, to a courtyard that had stopped breathing.
He turned to the dais.
"Sect Master. Name another. Name the nephew or a gate sweeper, I do not care which."
"War God," said Qi Wanli, very gently. "The Heavens do not take names. They take the one the beasts follow."
Juehan raised his hand a third time and called the Hundred Beasts to him.
A crane at the front lifted its head, looked at Zhiyi, and bowed lower.
Zhiyi stepped up beside him and put her cool fingers over his knuckles.
"Juehan. Not here."
He let her pull his hand down.
Then he took hold of her wrist and walked her through three hundred kneeling beasts, and they parted for her.
Elder Mu came up the mountain after dark with a bowl of porridge nobody wanted.
He stood in the doorway of the Thunder Hall with his cap in both hands.
"Say the rest," said Juehan.
He stood at the window with his back to the room, and the stone sill was cracked under his palm.
"The first bolt was Heaven asking who leads the beasts," said Mu. "Nineteen days ago, the answer was you."
"And now?"
