The Buddha says life has seven sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, meeting those one resents, parting from those one loves, and being unable to obtain what one desires.
Du Li is a spirit ferryman on the River of Forgetfulness. Clad in black, with a red lotus flame tattooed between his brows, he uses it to suppress resentful spirits and their evil thoughts, day in and day out for a thousand years.
Yet after spending every day surrounded by resentment, he too fell into the mortal cycle of suffering and joy. Later, a tree demon beguiled him, and Du Li fell into evil. The countless resentful spirits of the Underworld came under his command, and he gained the power to destroy heaven and earth. The gods intervened to suppress him, activating the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Formation and sealing the tree demon away.
Du Li was also injured by the formation. His cultivation was gone, and he was at death's door. Later, Manjushri Bodhisattva took him in and immersed him beneath the River of Forgetfulness, where he slept for a thousand years...
