Who Is Practicing

When Gu Yanzhi founded "The Way of Yan", he only used four words: originally pure. These four characters come from an old door in Tiantai Mountain. He took them off the door, turned them into courses, made them members, and turned them into a spiritual business empire spanning real estate, finance, and media. Countless people paid money, knelt down and called him "teacher", thinking that by stepping on the ladder he built, they could reach the sky above their heads. When the empire was at its peak, no one asked: Did the person who built the ladder master it himself? This is a story about "how pseudo-cultivation becomes a business and how it backfires on everyone." Financial competition, capital explosions, the secrets and reconciliations of generations intertwined on the same timeline - it was not until the empire collapsed and Gu Yanzhi returned to that door that he finally dared to face the question he had avoided for half his life: Who is practicing? Is it him who consecrates the gods on the stage, is it the believers who kneel and worship below the stage, or is it the old monk in the mountains who only sweeps the steps and never preaches the sermon? An urban reality novel written for an era when "everyone wants to take shortcuts". It does not sell answers, it only puts the mirror in front of everyone.
