As the golden pillar in the sky and the towering White Lotus Dharma Phase tried to confront each other from a distance.
The situation underneath them, in Capital City, had undergone drastic changes.
In the eastern capital factory of Beijing, Luo Erhe, a blacksmith living in Baotie Alley, woke up at the first sound of the green phoenix.
At the moment of regaining consciousness, Luo Erhe found himself reciting a scripture of unknown origin.
"All sentient beings possess the wisdom and virtues of the Tathagata, but due to delusion and attachment, they're unable to realize them. I shall follow the saint path of White Lotus-"
Luo Erhe knelt and recited for a long time before realizing something was wrong.
By the time Luo Erhe regained his senses, he found his mother and wife also kneeling and reciting the "Sad-dharma Pundarika Sutra".
"Mother! What are you doing?" Luo Erhe felt strange, wondering where they could have learned these scriptures.
