Synopsis of The Black-Robed Monk
When a Buddhist decree from Mount Lingshan descends into the mortal world, a legend that will reshape the empire begins, as Buddhism and Daoism clash! Yao Daoyan, reincarnation of the Venerable Kasyapa, bears a bronze Buddhist seal and the Ancient Scroll of Dipankara. Clad in a monk’s robe and wielding strategy as his blade, he assists Prince Yan Zhu Di in opposing the imperial court. He uses Buddhist teachings to subdue enemies, astrology to break formations, and his wits to outmaneuver corrupt officials, while also engaging Wudang masters in duels of immortal arts. History, political intrigue, and mythical sorcery intertwine as we watch the Black-Robed Monk prove the royal way with a heart of Buddha and turn the tide of the Jingnan Campaign!
