Special forces instructor Lin Feng traveled through a thousand years due to a magnetic storm and became a Shaolin novice named Dong Tianbao. He and his junior brother Zhang Junbao depended on each other for life, but they embarked on different paths because they were unwilling to be manipulated by fate. In order to seek power, Tianbao betrayed his companions and personally killed Xiao Donggua, a girl who loved him deeply, and exchanged blood and tears for promotion in the officialdom. Jun Bao, on the other hand, stuck to his original intention, and later realized Taoism in Wudang Mountain and founded a sect named "Zhang Sanfeng".
Two brothers, one is ups and downs in the court, the other is practicing in the world. Tianbao dealt with the powerful officials of the Yuan Dynasty, but secretly spent his life guarding Wudang, protecting his junior brothers, and protecting his grandson Zhang Wuji. He grew up from Liu Jin's chess piece to a chess player, from a Shaolin outcast to a Yuan Dynasty general, from ruthless to haunted by inner demons - he always remembers the phrase "I have no control over my destiny", but he loses himself in the choices he makes.
The city of Xiangyang was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, brothers were reunited and separated; the Ming sect rose, heroes came together, Wuji grew up and retired to seclusion. Tianbao struggled forward in the torrent of history, used his intelligence network and wealth to build a century-old barrier for Wudang, and used the last afterglow to protect what was in his heart.
Before his death, he confessed the identity of the time traveler to Zhang Sanfeng in a letter: "Although he is a person in the book, the friendship is real." A hundred years later, Zhang Sanfeng climbed to the Golden Summit alone and placed the Iron Arhat between the sea of clouds. The morning bell rings at the foot of the mountain, and a new day begins - just as Tianbao said, the sun will rise again after it sets. The road for you and me is over, but the road for everyone in the world is still long.
This is a story about choice and redemption. A person spends his whole life interpreting "My fate is mine", struggling in the quagmire of power, moving forward in the abyss of guilt, and finally resting in the understanding of his brothers.
