# Introduction to the work "Jingkang Gods and Demons"
In the last years of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty was in ruins: Hua Shi Gang was poisoning the world, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes drove the people into exile, traitors were in power in the court, and the weak strategy of uniting the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty had laid the foundation for the destruction of Jingkang.
Lu Qingxuan, a disciple of Chan's teaching, came down from the mountain under the decree of Zhenren Huanglong and followed the teacher's teachings of "protecting the people first, not going against nature to protect the Song Dynasty". When he first entered the mortal world, he saw the hell on earth. In Bianliang, Tokyo, he met Zhou Chengyi, the leader of the Golden Spear Squadron of the Forbidden Army and the general of Hedong. The two had a sworn friendship, but were framed by Gao Qiu's treacherous party. Their loyal friends were expelled, and the hero lost his way.
At that time, the wheel of heaven was turning, and the Song Dynasty was almost exhausted. The two religions of interpretation, Buddhism, Taoism, gods and demons were involved in the situation. There were evil spirits behind the traitors in the court, and the Jurchen cavalry was even blessed by the devil. The catastrophe of Jingkang was approaching. Lu Qingxuan led a group of loyal and righteous men to protect the common people with the sword of immortality, resisted the evil spirits with loyalty, and became enlightened in the war of troubled times. Finally, he was included in the list of gods, leaving an eternal legend of immortals protecting the people.
