Once, a kindly man named Zhou donated a piece of purple jade to Dahe Temple. After being offered before the Buddha and steeped in incense for many years, it transformed into a human. Abbot Wunian then enlightened her, named her Zhou Zihe, and taught her how to conduct herself.
Before the abbot passed away, he recognized Zhou Zihe's affinity with Buddhism and instructed her to take his relics to Tianshu Peak to study the Way and cultivate immortality, cast off her demon form, gain immortal bones, and ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible.
Excerpt One:
Zhou Zihe: I don't want to cultivate immortality. Wouldn't it be great to be a carefree little demon? This quiet courtyard of yours seems perfect for me. How about we keep each other company, Master?
Wan Shouyi: Get lost.
Excerpt Two:
Wan Shouyi: I know I'm not fit to be a role model, but I've still taught you everything I can. I thought you were exceptionally gifted, with an affinity for Buddhism, and a promising student. I never expected you to go astray and commit such an unforgivable act!
Zhou Zihe: Shut up.
