A Pool of Spring and Autumn

"The mountains and rivers are thousands of miles away, but the divine karma of Tianchi is raining now. The scorching peach color is ignored by the fairy, and the boundless fallen trees are drunk and rustling. " A long time ago, a wild child who escaped from the temple passed by a lotus pond and saw the little water lilies soaked in blood during the war. He couldn't bear it, so he sat on the ground and chanted sutras for him, hoping to transform the lotus demon affected by the hatred in the world. But he failed because of his lack of skill. The lotus demon gnawed at his flesh and blood, seeming to devour him. In desperation, he sacrificed the string of beads given to him by the abbot, and finally calmed the restless lotus demon. While it was sleeping, he dropped the string of beads and ran away. A long time ago, a wild man wandered to the foot of Tianchi Mountain, his clothes were in rags and he was dying. The little boy who was the guardian of the divine lotus took pity on him and asked the divine lotuses in Tianchi: "Who is willing to give up his cultivation to save this poor man?" The lotus gods didn't answer. There was only a small divine lotus that had just entered Tianchi, and it gave him the only lotus seed that it condensed with all its strength. The wandering man received the gift of the divine lotus, his face was radiant, and his whole body's cultivation level increased greatly. However, the water lily dimmed and lost the power that he had gained after practicing for more than a hundred years. The little boy said: "This lotus has a kind heart and has the potential to enter the Tao. Now, because it saved your life, it is connected to your destiny. You are a Taoist. You should know that the rewards of heaven are repayable. Due to emotions and reasons, you must take good care of it so that it has the qualifications to return to Tianchi." The wanderer thanked the little boy, then held the little Sleeping Lotus that lost its power and fell into a deep sleep, and returned to Mirror Mountain, where he took root from then on. The sun and the moon rotated, the mountains and rivers changed several times, and Shenlian finally woke up, but forgot everything that happened in Tianchi, and only practiced day and night with the man in Mingjing Mountain. A long, long time ago, there was a man who was born in Tianmu Kingdom and went into exile because of the collapse of Tianmu Kingdom. He was born in a temple. Due to various reasons, he started wandering without a name, so he called himself a monk. Although a monk is called a monk, he is not a true monk. The people of Tianmu Kingdom advocated the way of cultivating immortals and asking gods, and the monk was a good candidate for spiritual practice, so he embarked on the road of spiritual practice and never returned. The way he practiced was a way of entering the world at ease. Only those who have been exposed to the seven emotions and six desires of the world without indulging in it can cultivate this way. The monk is already on the verge of perfection on this path, and is only one step away from reaching the top. He searched for earthly desires, but the more he searched, the duller the emotions in his heart became. It was not until the lotus demon appeared that he knew that the opportunity he had been looking for for a long time had arrived. It emerges from the silt without being stained, and washes away the clear ripples without being stained. The monk's body is stained by the desires of the world, and he cultivates the way to enter the world; while the lotus demon has a pure body and is not familiar with the world, and he cultivates the way to avoid the world. The two have different Taoist intentions, but they have been practicing together for a long time. While their relationship has increased, conflicts have also secretly grown. What kind of sparks did the two create between the monk who was riddled with worldly desires and the innocent White Lotus? Where should we go from here? Predicting what will happen next...
