This work is a long classical mythological novel based on the Tang Dynasty monk [National Preceptor] Master Jianzhen's six journeys to Japan to preach scriptures.
In the later years of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Wu Zetian held great power. As soon as Emperor Gaozong died of illness, she changed her dynasty and proclaimed herself emperor, becoming Emperor Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Wu Zetian originally came to the world as the heart-moon fox in the sky. After ascending to the throne of God, she worshiped Maitreya Buddha alone and destroyed Taoist temples wantonly. In order to avoid God's punishment, she passed this evil deed onto innocent people.
When the Emperor of Heaven heard the cries of the gods, he was furious and sent the King of Heaven down to the realm for detailed inspection. The King of Heaven was also confused by the superficial phenomena and responded arbitrarily, causing the Emperor of Heaven to issue an edict: the world will be frozen for three years and plagued for three years.

The people of the world were in dire straits, and countless people died of hunger and disease. They turned into a wave of resentment and rushed up to the Yingxuan Palace in the heaven, approaching the Lingxiao Palace.
The star master of Yingxuan Palace came to Lingshan to listen to the law. After hearing the people's sentiments in the world, he immediately sent the three gods of Dharma Protector, Bingxiao and Disintegration to the lower realm to capture Bingfeng, Plague God and relieve the people from dire straits.
Therefore, Yingxuan Palace Star Master and other gods secretly captured the two demons, which was against the will of God. The Emperor sent Erlang Zhenjun to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals to capture them, but they had no choice but to do so. The master of Yingxuan Star fell off the bridge of life from the four of them...
