In the novel, Chu Chanjing is a Buddhist child revered by all. Elegant and serene, cool as frost, he is like a flawless, translucent piece of white jade.
Even his name carries an air that cannot be sullied, otherworldly and transcendent. Calling him an immortal banished from heaven would not be an exaggeration.
The first time Lu Lezhi, who had transmigrated into this novel, saw Chu Chanjing, he was wearing a kasaya. His long, beautiful fingers held a string of Buddhist prayer beads, his expression calm and pale as he performed a rite for the people.
The identity the System gave her was that of a young monk practicing without shaving his head, disguised as a man and following Chu Chanjing.
Lu Lezhi often heard him tell those who sought Buddha: "Devote yourself to your cultivation, and remember the seven prohibitions. Greed, anger, delusion, hatred, love, aversion, and desire: all must be cast aside."
Later...
A red kasaya draped over Lu Lezhi, concealing her only partially. The prayer beads, a symbol of holiness, bound her hands, while the jade-faced Buddhist prince leaned beside her, his breath scorching hot.
All seven prohibitions were broken.
The Buddha fell.
The kasaya was never pure, and the mortal world cannot stain the nature of emptiness., The Heavenly Way
