cleansing

① avarice and gluttony ② uncivilized people ③ Taotie, a gluttonous ogre

the beating of a drum

an elderly person

A tiger leaves a hide, a man leaves a legacy

To immerse yourself in a subject

Curiousity is a moment of embarrassment, ignorance is a lifetime of shame

mountain climbing

in over your head

Misery loves company

A pointless endeavor

Take a long walk off a short pier

pickpocket

futile effort; trying desperately to accomplish some after things didn't go your way

friends through thick and thin; war buddies

Traveling all over the place

a random mob; a mish-mash

ferocious evil

warship

eyes wide in shock
