Qingshan County is a small county in Jiangdong Province, little known throughout the Great Zhao Kingdom. However, many people know about Liyang Mountain within the county. The reason is simple: Liyang Mountain is one of the thirty-six grotto-heavens of the Xuanmen sect, and there are many relics left by eminent Xuanmen masters throughout history on the mountain.

It is said that even in this age of space travel, people still live in hermitages on Liyang Mountain, leading a life of quiet cultivation. Furthermore, the "Liyang Temple" on Liyang Mountain is a nationally recognized orthodox temple, and its incense has never ceased to burn for hundreds of years.

At an outdoor filming location several miles outside Yongning Village, the crew of "After Sealing the Sword" was filming a nighttime fight scene. However, in the mountain path in the bamboo forest, two actors dressed as swordsmen, one male and one female, were seen chasing and fighting while suspended by wires and holding long swords.

Not far from the film crew, a few villagers stood watching. These were all villagers from Yongning Village. Some were recruited by the film crew to help move supplies, while others were simply there to watch the excitement.

"Stop!" Director Sun Yue shouted from the side, and the male and female actors who were chasing each other immediately stopped what they were doing. After sliding a little further on the wire, they stood on the ground.

Then Sun Yue clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's leave this scene as is. Everyone take a break, and we'll start the next shot in a bit."

Seeing everyone relax immediately, Director Sun Yue didn't say much. He walked straight to his chair and sat down. Immediately, someone who knew what was going on brought him a bottle of mineral water: "Director Sun, have some water."

Nodding, Sun Yue unscrewed the cap of the mineral water and took two sips. He frowned and looked around. To be honest, he was starting to regret it. Since arriving in Yongning Village, the weather had barely been sunny. The frequent rain had caused the crew a lot of trouble, and the filming, which was originally planned to be completed within a week, was about to be delayed.

What bothered him even more was that the damp weather made the crew members, who were mostly from the north, feel quite uncomfortable.

If only we had found a scenic spot with bamboo forests in the north to film... Sun Yue thought with regret. But at this point, he could only think about it. Since he was already here, he couldn't change his mind, otherwise the extra cost would drive the producer crazy.

Just as the crew was taking a break, a light drizzle began to fall again. The rain wasn't heavy, but it still drew complaints from the crew. That's the weather here; it always seems to drip endlessly.

Both actors and staff put on the disposable film raincoats that were prepared on the side. Some who thought they were in good health simply didn't wear raincoats at all, since the rain was light and the bamboo forests on both sides of the road provided some shelter from the rain.

At this time, all the crew members were either standing or sitting on both sides of the mountain road. Because night shooting required supplemental lighting, several lighting devices were set up at different heights around the area.

Lead actress Li Yun was sitting under a large square lamp suspended about six meters high, getting her makeup touched up by the light. The makeup artist was working quickly and efficiently on her face. This was her first theatrical film, and Li Yun had high expectations for it.
