Cheng Tu, a Buddhist prodigy born without a heart, has severed himself from all emotion and desire. He is the youngest enlightened monk in the Western Regions. To perfect his understanding of Buddhism, he travels east to Luoyang in the war-torn Western Jin dynasty, where he performs rites to guide the dead onward before a mass grave steeped in resentment. But the boundless malice does not lead the souls to rebirth. Instead, it surges into the body of a dying orphan girl. She swallows resentment and survives, while a blood-red cinnabar mark of the same origin as his appears on her wrist, igniting karmic flames that scorch his body.
To uncover the source of this uncanny “evil thing,” Cheng Tu takes her back with him, names her “Zhu Mo,” and personally seals and watches over her. He looks on coldly as her peerless beauty blossoms, and ignores the ardent, innocent affection in her eyes. To him, she is merely a tool for overcoming the trials of love and attaining the supreme Buddhist path. He has no idea that she is the reincarnation of a peerless demon who once wreaked havoc across the Three Realms and fed on obsessive resentment, his sworn enemy whom he personally sealed in a past life.
Xie Huai, a nobleman’s son bearing a blood feud, is determined to set the world in turmoil. After discovering that Zhu Mo is Cheng Tu’s “Achilles’ heel,” he deliberately draws close to her, using gentle schemes to cultivate this flower of evil into a deadly poisoned blade aimed at the holy monk. A palace banquet erupts into chaos: poisoned wine is used to assassinate the emperor, and a secret drug capable of awakening demonic power is involved. To “save” her master, Zhu Mo leaps in front of the wine. Her demonic eyes appear for the first time, petals coil around her, and the sight leaves everyone stunned!
To suppress the backlash, Cheng Tu forcibly draws upon his own Buddhist essence. As karmic fire burns his heart, he glimpses for the first time the cold seal from his past life, along with her bloodcurdling question: “Why wouldn’t you save me?!”
The heartless Buddhist prodigy finally develops the first crack in his heart for her. Yet the flower of evil is slowly awakening amid sincerity and scheming. Her world-shaking demonic power breaks through the seal completely, and the powerful nobles reveal their final trump card.
"Red Lotus Tribulation: Wu Xin Guoshi": San Cheng crosses the world, Yi Lian has a pure heart If we talk about the fate of Buddhism, three hundred years of ups and downs are all condensed in the fate of the holy monk "Sancheng". "Red Lotus Tribulation: Wu Xin Guoshi" uses a red lotus as a guide to unfold the most brilliant and turbulent history of Buddhism from Zhao to Wu Zhou. The most moving thing in the book is the path chosen by the "Sancheng" saint monks to pursue the Tao in the tide of the times: · Master Chengtu of Later Zhao, who surrendered under the tyranny of Shi Hu, took secular power as his cassock to protect Buddhists in the world. He was the first "National Preceptor" of the dynasty. His heart was in the court and his ambition was in the people. · The holy monk Chengxin of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties adhered to the scriptures in the Sanskrit of Jiankang, took orthodox Buddhism as the backbone, and did not seek the honor of the emperor. He represents pure faith that is untainted by dust and is an everlasting beacon in troubled times. · Tang Dynasty·Chengming Qingseng (the "Wuxin" national teacher) was in the whirlpool of power from Zhenguan to Wu Zetian, but he suffered a lot between love and Buddhism. He carries Su Hui from the previous two generations on his back, but he lives the most contradictory and closest to "human" appearance. From Cheng Tu's "entering the world", to Cheng Xin's "birth", to Chengming's "entering the world and emerging from the world", this is not only a legend of a national teacher, but also a magnificent epic of the collision of Buddhism with human nature and power in different eras. See how "Sancheng" relays the relay and uses a wisp of red lotus soul to survive the tribulation of the mortal world. Their story is worth exploring.
