On a rainy night in Gusu City, Shen Qingning met an old woman carrying a bronze lantern, and was involved in a mystery about immortality that spanned twenty years. She was once a disciple of the magical doctor Qingnang, but she lost everything because of an ice lake sacrifice - her best friend Xiao Yu blocked a fatal sword for her, her junior brother Lin Banxia was turned into ashes to calm her soul, and an immortal bronze lamp was planted in her heart.
For three years, she carried a three-color lantern that could illuminate the souls of the dead and traveled between the Yin and Yang realms. She discovered that the entire city of Gusu was actually a Yin city transformed from paper ashes. Behind the Heavenly Gate that the Master sealed with eighty-one lives, there was hidden the desire of the giant bronze hand for the eighty-second sacrifice. When Xiao Yu's broken sword, Lin Banxia's ashes, and her soul fire pierced the wick at the same time, the immortality was shattered, and her heart had long been symbiotic with the flame of the lamp.
When the rain stopped, Shen Qingning let go of the lantern carrying the remaining souls of the three people at the ferry. Some people saw her walking into the mountains holding an umbrella in white clothes, while others said that the three-color lantern was still wandering in the world - when the three silhouettes on the lampshade drank together, there was always the sound of the chain breaking.
Intention: Eternal life is a calamity, and obsession is a lamp; only by letting go can we gain liberation.
