In his previous life, he was the living Buddha Tenzhangji who was respected by thousands of people on the top of the snow-capped mountains. He practiced hard for more than ten years, sacrificed his life to suppress the monsters, and appeared in rainbow form. But before he could be reborn in the Buddha Lands, a sword struck him from the air and knocked him down to the earth.
When he woke up again, he was in a Buddhist temple in Han Dynasty, with no cultivation. The temple took him in and named him "Shi Yuan", and he became a volunteer chopping firewood, carrying water, sweeping the floor and cooking. Life was hard, and he was occasionally exploited by old monks, but he was happy - he no longer had to bear the burden of a living Buddha, and no longer had to listen to monsters roaring under the seal every night.
Until the little monk named Mingxin was bullied by evil spirits and called him "Brother Yuan" in tears.
Until a strand of Manjushri Bodhisattva's green hair fell into his palm, burning him so much that his heart ached.
Until the Samye Temple was shaken, the seven layers of seals were on the verge of collapse, and the thousand-year-old evil that had been suppressed under the temple was ready to move.
Only then did he realize that there were some things that he couldn't escape.
There is no golden body, no thousands of believers, and no secret mantra blessing. He and a young monk walked under the neon lights of the city, through the mass graves in deserted villages, and crawled through the strong winds of the snow-capped mountains, catching ghosts, breaking evil arrays, and suppressing evil spirits. Step by step, he resumed the path he had gone astray.
Beside him, Shen Meng, who regarded him as a brother, was walking towards the throne step by step. Every time he sacrifices his life for him, a layer of the seal on his body is unlocked, and a level of divinity is awakened.
But the greater the divinity, the weaker the humanity. One day, he will end his love and forget the world.
What Shi Yuan wants to cross is never just ghosts.
Evil ghosts are easy to catch, but inner demons are hard to subdue. When you save people and ghosts, you are ultimately saving yourself.
