The Tang Dynasty Code

Along the way, I saw ancient beast spirits buried deep in the underground palace of an old temple, the legendary Weimolongren, and the sacred Kunlun Mountains hidden in myth.

Along the way, I saw a Buddha who had attained nirvana in the snowy region, a sage who had transformed into a rainbow on a sacred mountain, and a Daoist master who had ascended from Kunlun.

Along the way, I saw debts of gratitude left unpaid in a past life, karmic ties left unfinished, and promises that had never been fulfilled.

It turns out there really are extraordinary people in this world who withdraw into ordinary life only to transcend it.

Perhaps out of boredom, I thought I’d record the stories that shattered my views of life and the world. These stories are connected, directly or indirectly, to Taoism, Buddhism, and Bon. What troubles me most is the constant collision between my past life and this one, relentlessly wearing down my fragile nerves.
