Once dyed with incense to dissipate secular thoughts, don't be sentimental again.
——Nalan Xingde
Shh, I'm telling you quietly, don't tell anyone else.
Say what?
Lotus is a monster.
Nonsense, Dad said, the lotus is the most pure and holy. The Buddha took seven steps into the world, and every step of the way, lotuses were born.
Look at the lotus seeds, they are pure and white on the outside, but they are bitter in the heart; look at the lotus roots again, they are hollow in their hearts, and their eyes are so bad that they have been hollowed out...
Do you know why Buddha only "loved" lotus?
Why?
Because Lian was stubborn and unyielding, she fell into a dark path whenever she had a chance to breathe. Buddha had no choice but to let her never recover.
Then why do so many people like Lian?
That is because they are arty and deceive themselves.
