A Different Classic of Mountains and Seas

In the south, a young man practices the Taiji Qian Kun Method, yet his fate is beset by misfortune.

In the north, a young woman comes south for training, only to meet the unlucky young man and become an unlucky heroine herself.

In Qingqiu, a fox demon hopes to spend her life with a young man. He is intent on chasing fame and fortune, so in the end, all she can do is watch him grow old and gray before he closes his eyes for a hundred years.

On Huangshan, a headless ape formed from a divine stone of heaven and earth guards a water lily, holding its own head in its left hand and a six-foot sword in its right. It has kept watch for who knows how long.

In the cave-heaven of Bodhi, all mortals live forever. Yet everywhere, statues of the gods are upside down; Buddhist teachings are nowhere to be found. Some have wondered why the Bodhisattva sits facing backward. One can only sigh that all living beings refuse to turn around.
