玉界朗朗，琼田荡荡。星槎如织入海市，游人络绎塞天门。凡有行旅出入罗浮，抬眼便可瞧见一宽阔界门，其中空间隔膜如涡流扰动，无凭无依，兀自吐纳往来大小舟舸，蔚为壮观。
这天门名为「玉界」，实为仙舟洞天入境门户。门下稍远处，有旅者列队蠕行，欲向罗浮境内去。其中有一少女着杏黄衣衫，单看面庞约莫十一六七，以仙舟尺度却不知真实如何，又不知借着甚么怪力负一重剑。
那剑长二尺一寸，大非寻常。虽有白布缠身，隐约看来模样倒是简古，然两边剑锋如蝉翼般微薄，足以吹毛断发。往来游人见这神兵，无不侧目称奇；可少女却似愁思伴身，只自顾拧紧了眉心，隐隐流出些许懊闷，小声念道：
「真是奇了怪了！娘先前教我念这心诀，道是能定心神，怎不见成效呢？」
不等她再多吐露些佶屈聱牙之词，那边关的持明男子便提腕摆手，招引少女上前：「下一位！」少女一惊，牙关咬得紧颤，却也不得不硬着头皮应声前去。
「金石可铄，盟誓……」少女对持明男子正色道。
「金石可铄，盟誓不破。」持明男子黯然道：「通关便是，赌甚么咒？姓名、来历、入境缘由云云——落实了罢。」
少女哑然，想来又是自己错用了罗浮掌故。无奈，只得拎起四方览镜，应男人要求如实汇报：
「姓名：素裳；随身物件：『轩辕』一柄；来历……」
Character Story: Part I
• Unlocked at Character Level 20
O, Jade Gate so bright. O, jade skies of flight. Starskiffs weave through the Grand Fair, and tourists flock the skygate. Anyone traveling in or out of the Luofu could see a vast gate when looking up, where a spacial membrane twirls like a torrent. The gate stands alone with no walls and admits the ships coming and going. It is a grand sight to see.
This skygate is called the Jade Gate, and it's the entrance to the Xianzhou delves. Below the gate, travelers stream inside on their way into the Luofu. Among them is a young girl wearing a peach-colored dress, likely of 16 or 17 years old, but difficult to judge her true age as a Xianzhou native — nor could anyone guess what strange force has helped her hold that enormous greatsword in her hand.
At two feet and one inch long, it's very unusual. Despite being wrapped in white cloth, it still looks like an antique. Yet it is a true weapon as the edges on both sides of the blade are as thin as cicada wings, sharp enough to even cut a strand of hair. People come to stare at this soldier girl, raising their eyebrows. But the girl seems to be accompanied by worry, merely frowning in annoyance as she mutters:
"How strange! Mother taught me how to chant this mantra so that I could focus. Why isn't it working now?"
Without waiting for her to utter any more obscure words, a Vidyadhara man at the custom raised his hand and waves the girl over: "Next, please!" The girl is startled and grits her teeth tightly — but she has to bite the bullet and steps forward.
"Gold can be smelted, but an oath..." The girl says sternly to the Vidyadhara man.
"Gold can be smelted, but an oath cannot be broken". The Vidyadhara man blankly replies: "This is the customs office. What oath? Name, origin, reason for travel — just give me these."
She is dumbfounded, and figures she'd gotten her Luofu anecdote wrong. Helpless, she could only pick up her Foursquare Mirror and respond:
"Name: Sushang; personal belongings: one Xuanyuan sword. Origin:..."
"Tsk, how do you write 'Yaoqing' again?"
