Everyone says that demons and evil spirits should be slain, that killing is the only way to stop killing.
Only Su Jingxing, holding three copper coins and keeping a vow to refrain from killing, ended the calamity that threatened the world without taking a single life.
In the late spring, by the Qingxi River, he was the mild-mannered village schoolteacher who accepted a bundle of vegetables as tuition. He taught children to read and write, and in his spare time helped his neighbors choose auspicious dates and find lost things. Whenever he shook his three copper coins, his predictions were never wrong.
No one knew that this gentle scholar was the last surviving heir of the Way of Stillness and Certainty. He could observe the flow of energy, read people's hearts, trace cause and effect, and predict his enemy's moves.
When a thug tried to extort someone with a staged accident, Su exposed the man's secret crimes of grave-robbing and murder with a single sentence, then subdued him with one move without spilling a drop of blood.
When an evil cultivator performed blood sacrifices to refine his power, Su laid down a heart-stilling trap formation, ensnaring the villain in his own wicked thoughts and dismantling the conspiracy with ease.
When his senior brother used the world as a chessboard to force him into a revenge plot, Su kept all living beings in mind and made his move in Qingxi. He played the world as his board, turning his opponent's deadly scheme into a game that protected all beneath heaven.
The Blood Sacrifice Divine Cult plunged thirteen provinces into chaos. The seven great sects were rotten to the core, and Su's fellow disciple was consumed by obsession and turned demonic.
Su always held fast to the words, “Know when to stop, and then you will find peace.” He took no lives and coveted no empty fame. He wielded divination as a blade and his Dao heart as a lamp, stopping evil and protecting life.
Later, when peace had returned to the world, the mystic sects revered him as their Dao Master. They searched all thirteen provinces, but beneath a peach tree in Qingxi Town, they found only a small school filled with the sound of children reading aloud.
He picked up his ruler, still the same gentle schoolteacher.
And every move he made had safeguarded a century of peace for the world.
Super pretty. .
